Chapter 355
On a mid-autumn night, a full moon hangs high in the clear sky, and the white light shines on the earth, although it is not as bright as the day, but it gives people a feeling of quiet years.
Because there are many fewer people in the garden of Zhennanhou Mansion, it is naturally not as lively as outside, but because Lin Wan has arranged some special programs, it does not seem to be few.
Lin Wenbo, father and son, even dragged Lin Wan to a small poetry fighting meeting.
Although Lin Wan's poems have been unanimously appreciated, Lin Wan knows very well that her poems are still outstanding among girls of the same age, and the gap between Lin Wenbo and Lin Hongfei, the father and son champions, is not to mention like a chasm, the gap is still quite obvious, and even Lin Hongyu's poems are not as good.
However, Lin Wan was not discouraged, in order to do a good job in the role of Caiyi Ruqin, under the joint "coaxing" of Lin Hongfei and Lin Hongyu's brothers, Lin Wenbo's moon-viewing poem was played and sung on the spot, which naturally won a full house.
When everyone was chanting poems and playing the piano, Dongxue led people to paste lantern riddles on each lantern.
"If you guess the riddle correctly, is there a reward?" Hearing that there are still lantern riddles, Cai Shi looked at Lin Wan narrowly and asked.
Lin Wan nodded again and again: "Yes!" In addition to the lanterns, those who guess the riddles will also have prizes according to the difficulty level of the riddles, and the specific prizes can only be revealed if they guess the riddles. ”
Lin Wan's words successfully retained Lin Xiuwu, who planned to take his children and grandchildren to the outer courtyard to drink and have fun.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Lin Wan specially solicited the opinions of Lin Xiuwu and Cai, and specially announced that everyone in the mansion today, including guards and servants, could participate.
All the lantern riddles and prizes today are from Lin Wan and An Huijuan.
Lantern riddles are difficult and appropriate, except for the young Lin Yuan and Xiao An'an, who can only babble, the masters, both men and women, have read books, so they naturally will not guess such a low-difficulty lantern riddle.
So the maids in front of those masters had a place to use, and the cheers after guessing the riddle came one after another.
Although the value of the prizes prepared by Lin Wan and An Huijuan is not high, the prizes won with their "talents" still make the winning subordinates proud.
Xiao An'an was still too young, and just started to guess the lantern riddles, when he saw that he had lost his head, Cai's hurriedly instructed An Huijuan to take Xiao An'an back to Zhuxuan to settle down.
Not long after An Huijuan left with Xiao An'an, Lin Xiuwu also took his children and grandchildren to the outer courtyard, presumably they still have their own arrangements and programs.
Lin Yuan is very energetic, and Lin Wan is also going to guess the lantern riddle to win the prize, so Lin Wan naturally wants to fulfill her little wish.
Besides, in order to give Lin Yuan a happy holiday, Lin Wan had already made arrangements before.
Lin Wan asked Lin Yuan to pick a favorite lantern by herself, and then took Lin Yuan to the lantern.
Lin Yuan's vision is still quite good, this lantern can be said to be the most beautiful and dazzling lamp in the entire garden, and several people have gathered under the lantern at this moment.
Since this lamp is the most beautiful and dazzling lamp in the garden, the riddle is not only very difficult, but also two riddles.
"But someone can guess these two riddles." Lin Wan looked at the group of servants around the lanterns and asked with a smile.
Everyone shook their heads, and some people "wailed": "This lantern is really beautiful, but none of the two lantern riddles can guess it." ”
Since this was the case, Lin Wan decided to let Lin Yuan get her wish, so she motioned to Dongxue to pick up Lin Yuan and asked Lin Yuan to personally remove the two riddles on the lantern.
According to the regulations of guessing the lantern riddle announced by Lin Wan in advance, if the lantern riddle is revealed and the correct riddle cannot be answered, not only will you not get the lantern and prizes, but you will also have to accept the corresponding punishment.
It is also this regulation, although everyone wants to get lanterns and prizes, at this moment, the garden of Zhennan Hou Mansion is always noisy but not chaotic.
All the riddles today are from the hands of Lin Wan and An Huijuan, and Lin Wan naturally has the answer in her heart.
Of course, if it is a reader of the level of Lin Hongfei or Lin Hongyu to guess, it is not much difficult.
Lin Wan pulled out one of the lantern riddles from Lin Yuan's hand, and the riddle was just four words, "champion and first".
When Lin Wan told the answer to the riddle, except for a few people who suddenly realized it, most people looked at Lin Wan blankly, obviously not many people understood.
Lin Wan pursed her lips and smiled, looking at the few people who suddenly realized something.
So someone explained on behalf of Lin Wan.
The world calls the scholar high school jinshi "Denglongmen", and the jinshi who participate in the palace examination will also be divided into several grades, and the champion is naturally the first class in the jinshi, that is, "A" and so on.
The combination of "door" and "A" becomes the mystery "gate".
After everyone understood the riddle of this lantern riddle, Lin Wan took the second lantern riddle from Lin Yuan's hand and read it out loud.
After reading it, he glanced at the more and more people around him, asked if anyone could answer it, and said that as long as he could answer the riddle, the lantern and the prize still belonged to him.
Someone tried to report the answer, but unfortunately they couldn't tell the correct answer.
About a quarter of an hour later, seeing that no one could give the correct answer, Lin Wan calmly revealed the correct answer, and asked people to take down the lantern and give it to Xiao Lin Yuan, who had long been looking forward to it.
Lin Yuan got the lantern she liked, and she didn't even look at the prize attached to the lantern, and she showed off very much in front of Cai's with the lantern, which made Cai's very happy.
There are enough lanterns in the garden, and each lantern has lantern riddles and attached prizes, although there are many people who come to the garden to guess the riddle after getting the news, but their knowledge is limited, until Cai urges Lin Wan to take Lin Yuan back to Qingyunju to rest, there are still most of the lantern riddles that have not been guessed.
Before Lin Wan left the garden, she whispered to the spring grass that stayed in the garden to distribute the prizes, and at the appropriate time, she could reveal some clues to the riddles, so that everyone could gain something and share this wonderful festival.
Chuncao nodded again and again.
Cai's side listened to it and was happy to accept Lin Wan's intimate arrangement, and in order to avoid unnecessary disputes caused by dissatisfied people, he specially left the two big girls of Ci'an Yuan as helpers for Chuncao.
Lin Wan took Lin Yuan to send the Cai family back to Ci'an Yuan first, and the sisters each returned to Qingyunju with a lantern.
This bustle in the garden didn't take much time, and it was only three minutes before the Lin Wan sisters returned to Qingyunju.
I thought that the sisters who went out to watch the lanterns would have to have a good time before they could come back, but what Lin Wan didn't expect was that she had just taken Lin Yuan back to Qingyunju before she could wash Lin Yuan, and she heard Lin Na's voice downstairs.
Lin Wan was very puzzled, today Lin Wenbo originally planned to leave Lin Na in the mansion, but she couldn't resist Lin Na, so she had to let her go out with Lin Jing and them to watch the lanterns.
Since I went out to watch the lanterns, I won't come back until I get it, but I didn't expect it to be almost an hour in advance, so it shouldn't be that something happened!
