got her wish and exchanged the marriage book for two shops, Ji Yanning did not leave Cangzhou in a hurry, she promised Ziyu to visit the Lantern Festival together and would not break her promise.

The lantern festival in Cangzhou City is very lively, I don't feel anything during the day, and in the evening, people on the street began to have a lot of vendors who began to set up their stalls, and when Ji Yanning went out with two maids, there was already a noisy scene outside.

At a glance, the eyes are full of brilliant and dazzling lanterns, extending to the invisible end, the bustling crowd is filled with all kinds of shouting and exclamations, making people in it, it is inevitable that they are a little abrupt.

"Miss, look at this so beautiful!"

Ying'er stood in front of the stall, picked up a lifelike butterfly pattern, and waved it, the butterfly's wings flapped, as if it was really flying in the air.

Ji Yanning chuckled: "If you like it, buy one." ”

Ying'er nodded, paid for one, and couldn't put it down in her hands.

It's good to be the eldest lady's maid, not only do you not have to worry about food and clothing, but also a lot of silver, and you can afford to buy a lot of things you like.

Ziyu followed behind Ji Yanning and said: "You just bought it when it came out, I heard that there are a lot of fun things in the Lantern Festival, but I'm afraid you won't be able to pick them later." ”

Ying'er frowned slightly when she heard Ziyu say this, it seemed to be the truth.

The stall owner said: "There are many fun things in the Lantern Festival, you don't have to buy them, you can use them to win, those are good things!"

Ying'er asked, "Guess the lantern riddle?"

The stall owner said: "You are outsiders, right? Our Lantern Festival here is not only about guessing lantern riddles, but also about breaking chess games, listening to music and distinguishing music, couplets, comparing calligraphy, throwing pots, and many other fun things. ”

Ying'er was a little embarrassed, she didn't know anything about piano, calligraphy and painting.

Turning her head to look at the eldest lady, Ying'er suddenly laughed: "There is the eldest lady here, let's go and win the reward!"

Ji Yanning bowed: "Okay." ”

The three of them continued to stroll, only to find that when they first entered the alley, there were vendors in front of them, and the further they went inside, the more rewards they said they would win the competition.

However, it is not casual to participate, most of them have to pay a penny or two to compete, so that the merchants can get back some of their roots and become famous.

Ji Yanning and the others came to a pot throwing stall, the rules on this stall are two pennies thrown ten times, there are ten bottles next to each other in turn, one is farther than the other, if you can throw arrows into seven different bottles, you can get a reward, the more bottles you throw, the more rich the reward.

If you are all in the middle, you can win a beaded hairpin, the tassel on the hairpin is made of several pearls with round color, which looks very eye-catching.

There are many men who come to throw pots, just to win a smile from the hairpins, but they can also hit seven at most, and they get the hairpins of average color.

Ziyu gave the merchant two pennies and asked Ji Yanning to start throwing pots.

Everyone saw that it was a woman, but many people looked lively.

Ji Yanning took an arrow and threw it casually in the direction of the bottle, throwing it into the nearest bottle.

"The girl is so lucky. The boss smiled on the side, the corners of his eyes crooked, it seemed that Ji Yanning was not a powerful character, but he just lucked himself and won the latest one.

Ji Yanning took the second one, threw it lightly, and fell into the second bottle.

The onlookers looked at it and sighed, this luck is too good.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth......

The stall in front of the pot throwing stall was much quieter than the others, everyone was watching Ji Yanning throw the pot, her movements were too casual, and she didn't seem to use much strength, so she easily threw six of them!

It's luck, but whose luck can be so good and can hit so much at once?

If it weren't for luck, seeing her delicate appearance, and her casual movements, she wouldn't look like a master.

Ji Yanning ignored the other gazes, took the arrow handed over by Ziyu, and the seventh one was also hit, and then the eighth one was hit!

The vendor in the stall gasped, this little girl is not simple!

"The girl is already the one who has invested the most today. He said.

Ji Yanning was unmoved, and threw another one.

Ying'er was proud, their young lady was the best on the spot, and she never missed archery and throwing.

The surrounding spectators have quieted down, although they are incompatible with the bustle of the entire street, but no one wants to affect Ji Yanning's final performance.

Ji Yanning held an arrow in his hand, and he was about to throw it when he looked up.

"Girl!" the vendor suddenly spoke, startling everyone.

Ji Yanning's originally outstretched hand stopped, and she turned her head to look at the boss: "What's the matter?"

The vendor sneered, "I just want the girl not to be nervous." ”

There was a loud noise in the crowd, and everyone knew that the vendor was obviously trying to distract the girl.

"I'm not nervous. Ji Yanning said lightly, and then threw the arrow in his hand into the last bottle.

"That's amazing!"

"That's good luck!"

"Where is this luck, it is clearly too strong!"

Everyone looked at Ji Yanning's gaze with envy and surprise.

The stall owner gave the tributary beaded hairpin as promised.

Ji Yanning took it, thanked him, opened the box, took out a hairpin and inserted it into Ying'er's bun, looked at it, and nodded: "It's good-looking." ”

"Miss can't help it, this is something that Miss wins. ”

Ying'er stretched out her hand and wanted to take it down, but was stopped by Ji Yanning: "This is for you." ”

Just before the people around him could react, Ji Yanning asked the boss, "Can I compete again?" ”

The corners of the boss's mouth twitched, but he still nodded.

"We are the jewelry shop of Ming Yuxuan on East Street, naturally there is more than one reward, if the young lady wants to try again, it is okay. ”

He asked his servant to take out a jade hairpin and said, "If Miss wins all of them, this hairpin will belong to Miss." ”

Ziyu handed in two more pieces and brought ten arrows.

This time it was obviously faster than the last time, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Yanning had already put all ten arrows into the bottle, and won the jade hairpin and gave it to Ziyu.

The master and servant happily continued their stroll.

The stall owner was sighing, and suddenly a bunch of people lined up to throw pots.

A little girl can win twice in a row, and they believe they can too!

The stall owner really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Along the way, Ji Yanning won a lot of things just by throwing pots.

"Where is the phoenix tail guqin so easy to get, don't be discouraged, no one may be able to get it this year. ”

Two scholar-looking people walked past Ji Yanning, talking about the phoenix tail guqin.

"Childe stays. Ji Yanning stepped forward and shouted to stop them.

When the two scholars saw a young lady calling out to themselves, their faces turned slightly red, and they saluted Ji Yanning: "What's the matter with the girl?"

Ji Yanning asked, "You guys were talking about the phoenix tail guqin just now?"

The two scholars bowed their heads and said truthfully: "There is a booth in front of me that is competing, and everyone can only participate once, and five taels of silver can participate." If you can win to the end, you can get the phoenix tail guqin. ”

Ji Yanning bowed: "Thank you for informing the two sons." ”

As she spoke, she took Ziyu and Ying'er to find the stall they were talking about.

The booth participation will cost five taels of silver, and ordinary people are reluctant to take it out, even if they take out the money, they may not be able to win the phoenix tail guqin, so there are very few people who try.

When Ji Yanning came to the front of the stall, he saw the phoenix tail guqin on the stall with several guards watching, and knew at a glance that it was true.

Mother's piano.

She looked at the phoenix tail guqin in a daze, her mind was full of pictures of her mother stroking the qin, and her tears before she died.

It must have been tears of disappointment with her.

Her daughter ruined her husband's family and her mother's family, and ruined the Ying family and the Lou family.

Ji Yanning's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground, but Ying'er and Ziyu immediately stepped forward to support the eldest lady.

"Miss, what's wrong with you!" Ziyu watched her face suddenly turn pale and was startled.

Ji Yanning came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm tired of walking." ”

Ying'er said: "Since Miss is tired, let's go back." ”

Ji Yanning waved his hand, approached the stall, stepped forward and asked, "What are the rules for getting the piano?"

The vendor sitting in front of the stall looked up at the young woman in front of him, and said in his heart that there was another person to give money.

He said: "Pay five taels of silver, and then listen to our pianist play a piece of music, guess what the song is, all twelve tunes are guessed correctly to get our treasure pavilion phoenix tail guqin, as long as you guess the wrong one halfway, you will lose the opportunity." ”

Ziyu took out five taels of silver and handed it forward.

The vendor accepted the money and asked Ji Yanning to step forward.

"Third brother, look, someone has gone to take the phoenix tail guqin again. The man next to Shen Qingyi said, "Let's also go over and have a look at the excitement and listen to what kind of music we guessed this year." ”

Shen Qingyi also heard a little about the phoenix tail guqin, and when he turned his head, it seemed that it was a woman who was competing, and he said: "Wait for Yanlan and Yanfang to come up with a couplet and then go over together." ”

"At the level of the two of them, I can't think of it for a while, and it's the same if we go over and take a look and then come back and wait for them. Shen Yu'an said, then pulled Shen Qingyi and walked to the guqin stall.

"Qiu Hong. Ji Yanning said.

The pianist glanced at Ji Yanning, this was already the fourth piece she had answered correctly.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was not young, but she had seen a lot, he continued to raise his hand to stroke the piano.

The luthier only played a short section and then asked her to guess.

Ji Yanning's face did not change: "Hu Ji is eighteen beats." ”

The luthier played another paragraph.

Ji Yanning: "Xiaoxiang water clouds." ”

"You can guess it, it's amazing, how many times she has to listen to these tunes to remember. Shen Yu'an turned his head to look at Shen Qingyi, "Third brother, you guessed six songs last year, and you guessed the most among all of them, but I didn't expect this girl to have already guessed six songs." ”

Shen Qingyi looked at Ji Yanning's cold side face, her eyes were as deep as the starry sky, bottomless.
