Zhu Houwei and the third girl walked slowly around the periphery, Zhu Houwei saw that there were more and more people around him, and even he was squeezed a few times, so he began to put his mind on the surrounding crowd to see if there were any suspicious elements.

His eyes swept around, and he found that Hong Yu, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes, was not far away, and there were a few guards dressed as passers-by, following his group not far away, and Zhu Houwei's heart was relieved.

After a while, I heard a noise from the crowd in front of me, some men shouting and scolding, and more women screaming. It turned out that someone took advantage of the crowd and squeezed towards the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, and then stretched out the groping pig hand, causing the woman to scream. As soon as he said this, the people around him understood what was happening, and it was not the first time that something like this had happened tonight. Then someone came out to uphold justice, and the brother who stretched out the claws of Lushan was inevitably scolded and even fisted and kicked by everyone. It's still terrible to be angry, and some will even bring up their identities and want to shut up the people around them. But in today's scene, there are many famous people who come to see the lantern festival, young talents, and they come to play with some caution. Today, some of the ladies are beautiful, and the daughter will also step out of the boudoir to see the excitement, and these young talents will also look at the crowd, in case they meet someone who meets their hearts, fate is not clear. In order to show his sense of justice and win a good impression of the people around him, no matter how powerful the identity of the groping pig hand is, there will always be more powerful people who will come out to uphold justice and combat the arrogance of the prisoners. Someone took the lead, and the ordinary people who looked at the excitement also came to be enthusiastic, and the "Ping Pong" stretched out their fists and feet, there were so many people that they couldn't remember who beat them, and they not only presided over justice, but also provided talking points for the future, and they could vent a little, so why not do it?

Zhu Houwei watched the "idiot" roll and crawl, running out in embarrassment in the chaotic crowd, and he felt funny in his heart. Looking back, Zhu Xiuning's three daughters all had lanterns in their hands, and Zhu Xiuning even held three in their hands. They are all small animals, small and exquisite, and they look chic. Sensing Zhu Houwei's gaze, Zhu Xiuning raised the lantern in his hand as if offering a treasure, and said proudly, "Second brother, take a look, this is all guessed." Zhu Houwei looked at Wang Juan and Li Qing with a smile, and said with some amusement, "Then how many can you guess?" Zhu Xiuning was a little embarrassed, but still said "arrogantly", "What's the hurry, when I go to the official lamp, I'm showing my skills." I have two sisters to help me must have taken more than you, second brother, don't you don't get a lamp at that time. Zhu Houwei looked at her and shook his head slightly with a smile. Then he straightened his neck and looked around, and said, "Let's go in first and see how the official lantern is?" Zhu Xiuning finally stopped keeping a straight face, showed a smile, and then pulled Wang Juan and the two daughters and took the lead to walk inside. Zhu Houwei had no choice but to follow closely.

The further you go in, the more colorful the lanterns become, not only with more styles and larger sizes, but also with more exquisite paintings and calligraphy. These are all specially painted by the painters of the imperial court, not to mention anything else, after decades of concentrating on painting, the skills and folk are not of the same grade.

In front of all kinds of lanterns, there will be some people, from time to time there are exclamations and sighs. After someone guessed it, the people next to him were either happy, pity, or envious, with rich expressions and different expressions, Zhu Houwei looked interesting, and his mood was getting better and better.

After a while, Zhu Xiuning pulled Zhu Houwei's sleeve, and when Zhu Houwei turned her head, she pointed to a carp lantern about half a meter long and said to Zhu Houwei, "Second brother, look at that lantern, let's compare and see who can guess first." Zhu Houwei leaned back slightly, and asked with some "surprise", "Do you want to compare with me alone?" Zhu Xiuning suddenly became anxious, "Second brother, you are embarrassed to say, of course I am with my two sisters." Zhu Houwei stopped laughing, looked at his sister and nodded. Then he turned to look at the puzzle hanging next to the lantern.

"One month and one month, two and a half; There are arable fields on the top, and flowing rivers below; There are six members in the family, and two of them are not reunited. Guess the word. Zhu Houwei looked at the riddle and began to think, in addition to Zhu Xiuning's three daughters, there were also some people next to him who were thinking about the riddle, including scholars wearing Confucian robes and square scarves, and some young ladies drinking some ordinary people. Interestingly, the first two are not only guessing the lantern riddles, but also looking at the people around them, I don't know if they are coming to see the lantern or to see people. Zhu Houwei, who had already guessed, did not say the answer, but observed these scholars and young ladies. These years have paid attention to a gateway view, the life of parents, and the words of matchmakers, I don't know if these young men and women who look at the right eye can succeed. After a while, he saw several women's eyes swept over him, either looking cautiously, or facing it boldly, but seeing Zhu Houwei's face that had not yet grown, he quickly retracted it, and Zhu Houwei didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.

Suddenly, Zhu Houwei saw Wang Juan whispering a few words in Zhu Xiuning's ear, Zhu Xiuning's face flushed excitedly, and then said loudly, "We guessed it", and then took a few steps forward, and the people next to him heard Zhu Xiuning's words, turned their heads to look, and made way for this cute little girl, so that she could walk to the tooth man.

Simply put, a tooth person is a person who lives between the buyer and the seller and makes a match between them in order to obtain a commission. There are such people in many markets, especially in some of the more prosperous markets, and you have to pass through them to sell anything. Tooth people have had a prototype since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and developed to the Ming Dynasty, and there are tooth people in all walks of life, and even if they are sold into slavery, they must have tooth people. In the capital, there are several dental shops that specialize in organizing dental people to do business. The 13 Banks of Guangdong, which are very famous in history, are the thirteen merchants of the Tooth Bank who are engaged in import and export trade. In addition to doing business, the Thirteen Lines also have to deal with foreign businessmen who come to China, from the purchase and sale of goods to daily life, no matter how big or small, they must pass through the Thirteen Lines. However, the number of dental shops here is not fixed, and it increases and decreases from time to time, so the thirteen lines in Guangdong are only the thirteen most prosperous.

The quality of the tooth people is high and low, the good one is very helpful to the transaction between the two parties, and the bad one will make both the buyer and the seller unhappy, and even destroy the transaction. Some of the activities of the imperial court that need to be open to the people every year will be handed over to these tooth shops. I don't talk about the quality of these tooth shops themselves, but they still don't dare to be presumptuous in the activities of the imperial court.

In this lantern festival, there is a tooth person for every 20 to 30 lanterns, and they are responsible for distributing lanterns to those who answer correctly. The toothed man of this carp lantern is probably less than forty, not tall, with a chubby face, and looks very kind with a smile. I only heard the tooth man gently say to Zhu Xiuning, "Girl, can you tell me the answer to the riddle?" Zhu Xiuning is a bold person, although so many people are looking at her, but there is no stage fright at all, and she said crisply, "It's a word" As soon as the answer was said, the tooth man smiled and nodded, "The girl is really ice and snow smart, and it is the answer to the mystery." The rest of the people reacted and knew why the answer was a word. The tooth man turned around and took off the lantern and handed it to Zhu Xiuning. Zhu Xiuning happily picked up the lantern, and then jumped back to the same place under the envious and admiring eyes of everyone, and when he passed by Zhu Houwei, he snorted, looking like I was amazing. In front of Wang Juan and the two daughters, after talking a few words to Wang Juan and them, they let out a silver bell-like laughter. Zhu Houwei shook his head a little helplessly, and then followed the three of them and went to other places.
