A few people walked inside for a while, and the three girls shot a few more times and took four lanterns, but because the lanterns were relatively large, the three girls couldn't take them. Zhu Xiuning looked back at Zhu Houwei who was empty-handed, so he came over and handed over the lantern in his hand, and Zhu Houwei had no choice but to take it. Zhu Xiuning also said, "Second brother, you have to work hard, why haven't you even gotten a lantern until now, ashamed." As he spoke, he put his index finger under his eyes, made a grimace, and then walked to Wang Juan and them without looking back, and then took the lantern in the hands of the two women. Wang Juan glanced at Zhu Houwei carefully, and then whispered to Zhu Xiuning, "This is not very good, let the second young master hold the lantern." Zhu Xiuning replied indifferently, "What's that, a big man has an empty hand, and he doesn't know how to help us get some, and he wants me to send it over." It's okay. ”

Li Qing next to him looked at Wang Juan's eyes more and more weird, but Wang Juan didn't know what to do. Continuing to walk forward, not far away, Zhu Xiuning's three daughters stopped and looked at a huge jade rabbit lantern, which was exquisitely shaped and lifelike. The rabbit body is also painted with pictures such as Chang'e running to the moon and jade rabbit pounding medicine, with exquisite techniques and not ordinary. Zhu Xiuning said to Zhu Houwei "arrogantly", "Let's compete again, second brother, don't lose again this time?" ”

Zhu Houwei smiled and nodded, and was about to turn his head to look at the mystery, but he found the three people walking behind him. It is Yang Ting and Yang Shen, the son of Master Yang, as well as Tang Bohu, a genius in Jiangnan, and Zhang Zhi, a man from Shuzhong. The three of them came together, and they also found Zhu Houwei two or three meters apart, so they came to the side, and were just about to salute, but Zhu Houwei interrupted, "It turned out to be Senior Brother, Brother Bohu, Brother Zhonggao (Zhang Zhizi Zhonggao)." I didn't expect to meet three people here, it's really fate. The three of them understood what Zhu Houwei meant, and they also smiled and said, "I've seen Zhu Gongzi." ”

Zhu Xiuning's three daughters and Zhu Houwei were less than two meters apart, and when they saw Zhu Houwei meeting an acquaintance, Zhu Xiuning also stepped forward to visit. Zhu Houwei saw his sister who suddenly came over, so he introduced the three of them, "This is my sister." "The three of them bowed" and saw Miss Zhu. Zhu Xiuning also blessed a blessing in return. Zhu Houwei began to introduce the three of them, "This is the son of Master Yang, the senior brother of me and my eldest brother, Senior Brother Yang Shen." This is a person from Jiangnan, Brother Tang, and this is a person from Shuzhong, Brother Zhang. "On this occasion, there are scholars and beauties everywhere, in case you say that the head of the four great talents is undoubtedly making enemies for Tang Bohu, so except for Yang Shen, it is a simple introduction. It was the first time Zhu Xiuning had seen Yang Shen, so Zhu Houwei said more.

Yang Shen saw Wang Juan's two daughters coming over and asked, "Who are these two?" Wang Juan, Li Qing was blessed, and said generously, "The little woman Wang Juan (Li Qing) has seen three sons. The three of them returned the salute again, Zhu Houwei glanced at Wang Juan and Li Qing, and then turned around and said, "These two are friends of my sister's handkerchief." Zhu Xiuning's three daughters all smiled, especially Wang Juan, whose eyes were a little bright.

Zhu Xiuning is not afraid of life, and said to the three people, "Three brothers, we are guessing the puzzle of the jade rabbit lantern, why don't we guess together." The three of them smiled and agreed, and they all looked at the riddle.

"Morning glory and weaver girl look at each other from afar, why don't you live up to the river beam, guess a word" Only half a minute later, Tang Bohu smiled, it seemed that he had guessed it, and when he looked back, he happened to see Yang Shen also smiling. Zhu Houwei saw the expressions of the two, so he said, "The two brothers seem to have guessed it, so hurry up and get the lamp." ”

Tang Bohu spoke first and said, "Sheng'an (Yang Shenzi Sheng'an), you can go." Yang Shen was also a cheerful person, so he took a few steps up and said, "I've guessed it." ”

The people around him gave him a path and let him walk in front of the tooth man, and after the tooth man asked, Yang Shen gave the answer, "It's a surname, the surname of the name." The tooth man smiled," the boy answered. This poem comes from Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pizhi's "Yan Ge Xing", writing that a woman misses her husband who is a guest in a distant place, lingering and compassionate, and is a masterpiece of romance. The title is taken from the last two lines of his poem. Today, the bottom word is divided into three parts: "female", "cow" and "one". "Morning Glory and Weaver Girl" is another meaning: the word "cow" is brought and the word "female" is intertwined. "River beam" is an object in the form of "one". "Er" refers to the two parts of "cow" and "female" in the word "surname", which is limited to the barrier of "one", and only ends up "looking at each other from afar".

The people around were all staring at Yang Shen tightly, especially some of the ladies who were beautiful, and their eyes were shining with scorching light. A scholar like Yang Shen, who is young, tall, elegant and handsome, has a huge charm unconsciously.

Yang Shen took the lantern with a normal face and walked back here. Then he found that Zhu Xiuning was staring closely at the lantern in his hand, so he said with a smile, "It's better to give this lantern to Miss Zhu." ”

Zhu Xiuning suddenly looked at Zhu Houwei pitifully, Zhu Houwei thought about nothing, so he nodded and said, "Don't thank you yet?" Zhu Xiuning suddenly smiled and blessed Yang Shen. The rapid change in expression made everyone around him smile.

At the invitation of Zhu Houwei, the three of them walked together with Zhu Houwei to enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles. Wang Juan, Li Qing and Zhu Xiuning were together, and Zhu Houwei was not easy to chat together, and after shopping for a while, he was a little bored. Yang Shen and the three of them came, and Zhu Houwei found someone to talk to. The seven people are also fun to walk and stop.

Zhu Houwei chatted with the three of them, and suddenly asked, "Why does Brother Zhang have time to come together?" The meaning of this question was known to the three of them, so Zhang Zhi said with some surprise, "Since the last time I said goodbye to Brother Tang and Brother Yang, for a period of time, Zhong Gao has also gained. has not stepped into the officialdom, although I don't know what is useful and useless, but in daily life, what is taught in Chaoyang Academy has already been used. It's a shame to say that Zhong Gao was not very familiar with money before, and he didn't know whether an egg was five or fifty. Later, after walking around the market, I roughly knew the price. When I got home, I also looked at the expenses for myself before I could rule out some moths. Then Zhong Gao thought that if he was lucky enough to enter the officialdom one day, if he didn't know anything about prices and arithmetic, then someone would be favoritist and cheating, and he would not be able to fill his pockets. And some other subjects in Chaoyang Academy may also be used in the future, so Zhong Gao cheekily confessed to the two brothers, the two brothers did not care about the past suspicions, and the younger brother was also Minggan. Tang Bohu and Yang Shen said at the same time: "Brother Xian's words are serious. ”

Zhu Houwei glanced at Zhang Zhigao, and praised in his mouth, "Brother Zhang is above board, but he is also a righteous gentleman, and together with these two, it is just right." The three of them looked at each other and smiled. None of the three are pedantic people, right and wrong. The last time Zhang Zhi lost his temper, it was just Zhu Houwei's argument that the uselessness of his arguments hit Zhang Zhi's belief all of a sudden, but he can let go of his prejudices, get in touch with new things, and not die to save face, but he is also a good person.

After saying this, the conversation between the four of them became more relaxed. Zhu Houwei also learned that Tang Bohu because of the Peach Blossom Nunnery that Zhu Houwei said last time, so he invested more energy in Chaoyang Academy, and studied more seriously, and Chaoyang Academy gave him a salary increase, although it was too early to build Peach Blossom Nunnery, but Tang Bohu's life also had a new goal, not as muddy as before, casual and peaceful.

Everyone walked to a lantern and found that many scholars had gathered here, and when they looked around, they found that it was a lantern in the shape of a large peng spreading its wings. The shape is exquisite, the form is vivid, and the two wings are stretched out to be at least three meters long, which is very powerful. And there are also good signs of a long journey. The calligraphy on the paper seems to be a relatively famous work in the court, whether it is calligraphy or danqing, it has its own uniqueness, even Tang Bohu nodded slightly and admired it.

So a few men also came to be interested, looking at the riddle, "Guanhe can't be narrated together, divide the three Qins into Hanzhong, guess a word"

Everyone began to think about it, this question seemed to be related to history, and the girls' team began to frown, and they were really at a loss for such a topic. After about a few minutes, Yang Shen stopped thinking, and Zhu Houwei also had an answer. Yang Shen gave Zhu Houwei a look, and Zhu Houwei had no choice but to step forward and say, "I've guessed." ”

After the tooth man inquired, Zhu Houwei said a word lightly. The title seems to talk about the dispute between Chu and Han, and it seems to say that Guangwu Xi attacked Gong Xun, but in fact, it is repeatedly deducing the bottom words. In the previous sentence, "Guanhe can't" means to go to the "can" part of the word "river", and the rest is "氵"; "Co-narrative" refers to the word "氵" and "narrative", which becomes "溆". In the next sentence, "divide the three Qins", it is still said that the "three" strokes in the upper part of the word "Qin" are removed, and the rest is "surplus"; "Into Hanzhong" is "Yu" and added to the middle of the word "Han", which also becomes "溆". After the tooth man verified, he finally got the lantern. However, this lantern was too big, and after discussing with the tooth people, Zhu Houwei paid a hundred wen and sent it directly to Zhu's mansion.

Zhu Houwei didn't care about the envious and admiring eyes of others, but seeing Zhu Xiuning jumping up happily, Zhu Houwei's heart was also full of satisfaction.

Everyone continued to walk forward, and after a while, Zhu Houwei saw Zhu Houzhao and his wife, so he said goodbye to several other people and separated, took his sister to join his family, and went to find Hongzhi and Empress Zhang together.

After separation, Li Qing and Wang Juan walked together, Li Qing frowned and wanted to stop talking, Wang Juan saw her expression, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm free to measure." Li Qing also smiled relaxedly, "Sister, don't blame me for being nosy." Wang Juan shook her head and didn't say much. The lantern festival is still so lively, but Wang Juan's mind is not on it, and her heart is dyed with a little sorrow.
