Chapter 160: Shangyuan

After the New Year's Festival, Bianliang City presents a thriving scene, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and are busy visiting relatives and friends in the first month.

Marshal Gu's family does not have many relatives, but there are countless cousins, who have been coming to Gu's mansion in an endless stream since the first day of the new year.

Within a few days, the people began to rejoice in another festival.

Shangyuan Festival is coming.

The war in Shunchang stopped for 23 years, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Dazhen ushered in a good atmosphere. The saint did not make a big deal at the time of the New Year's Festival, but left all the manpower and material resources in Shangyuan.

This year's lanterns were personally purchased by the Ministry of Rites, and the scale can be called the largest compared to previous years, symbolizing a prosperous scene.

On this day, Gu Xiang took Gu Haomian out to see the lanterns, and Gu Haomian invited Gu Jin to go with him.

Gu Jin refused.

"I don't like to look at lanterns."

Hearing that Gu Jin was not going, he was right on Gu Xiang's appetite, and he didn't give Gu Haomian any more time to persuade him, so he pulled his brother out of the door.

In the evening window pavilion, there was an unknown blush on the girl's face.

Yun Qian came over: "Miss really didn't go, I heard that this year, many lantern styles were personally supervised by the saint, and there were also a number of lantern riddles, Miss didn't go, it's a pity." ”

Gu Jin held his cheeks, and his expression was unclear.

"Who said I wasn't going?"

……

Sure enough, as rumored to say, this year's lantern purchase is extremely good-looking, which shows that the people of the Ministry of Rites have put in a lot of effort.

On the long street of Bianliang City, the lanterns sit in a row, from the north of the city to the south of the city, the prosperity is endless, and the posture is different. Gu Jin led Yun Qian Peihuan to take a closer look all the way, the marquee lamp, the dice lamp, the knife lamp, and the rabbit lamp......

They are all good omen for some auspicious wishes and auspicious light opening Thailand.

Gu Jin looked at the scene of the flower market lights in front of her, and her eyes were unexpectedly covered with a layer of water vapor, how many years had she not seen such a beautiful scene in the world?

Most of the lords in Bianliang City love this kind of prosperous affair. There is a silk thread under the lantern, and a wooden sign is hung on the silk line, and on the wooden card, the riddle is written. There are many people on the long street, but the people who guess the lantern riddles under the lanterns have already surrounded the long street.

Yun Qian and Pei Huan have not been able to play so freely for many years, and now they are curious when they see the lantern riddle, Gu Jin saw the interest of the two of them, so he did not dismiss the fun, and let Yun Qian and Pei Huan pull themselves into the crowd.

The riddle is like this:

Mandarin ducks are both playing in the water, butterflies are in love with flowers; I have thousands of tenderness, who can I be with in this life; Red beans were originally acacia, and they were planted in my heart in my previous life; Waiting for the fate to meet, enjoy spring, summer and autumn and winter.

There are quite a few people around this riddle, but they all feel that this riddle is difficult, and everyone frowns and thinks about it for a while, but they can't solve it.

Gu Jin frowned slightly, took the charcoal pen on the side, and wrote on the back of the wooden card:

Affection is agreeable, and the earth lasts forever.

Gu Jin put away the pen, looked at the mystery of the eight characters in front of him, and unconsciously blushed on his cheeks.

It's such a heartfelt word.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the small document with the lantern riddle came to check, and sure enough, it was right, the man took a mask from the table not far away and handed it to Gu Jin.

"The girl is smart, and she will give it a gift."

Those who guess the lantern riddle correctly today will be given some small objects, or lanterns, or sachets, or handkerchiefs, Gu Jin stretched out his hand to take the mask, it was a jade rabbit.

She smiled softly and reached out to cover the mask over the jade face, covering the frosty face.

The noise around him continued, mostly praising Gu Jin's intelligence and talent, Gu Jin and the two little girls quietly withdrew from the crowd, like the scene of avoiding those official women on the return trip of the autumn hunting party.

It's just that there is no frost tonight, only this prosperous scene.

After the girl left, one person squeezed into the crowd again, and in the noise of the crowd, he reached out and took off the wooden sign that read "Love and affection, the earth is long", and quietly put it in his sleeve.

The man rolled up his sleeves, and the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed into a lazy look.

Gu Jin didn't like to be noisy, and after walking around with the two little girls for a while, he felt a little tired, and the three masters and servants discussed finding a place to rest.

Coincidentally, there is a teahouse at the mouth of the alley in front of the head, it is lively today, and the owner of the teahouse has moved the tables and chairs to the door to do business.

Gu Jin sat on the tea stall with two little girls, and the proprietress couldn't help but be stunned when she served tea.

I saw that the whole girl in front of me was gathered in a white fox big cloud, and there was a little water red under the big cloud, in addition to the pure bearing of the person's body, it was a good autumn that happened once in a century.

The proprietress "tsk" retreated twice, but unfortunately this girl was wearing a mask, so she couldn't see what kind of good face it was.

When Gu Jin brought the tea cup and tasted the tea, Lu Guitang's face was not happy.

He was very annoyed by this - he had lost his daughter-in-law with him.

Lu Guitang sent Shang Guyuan to wait at the gate of the Gu Mansion in person from this afternoon, just to know if Gu Jin would go to this Shangyuan appointment. Later, Shang Guyuan's news kept coming back to the mansion, and he learned that Gu Haomian went out, and Gu Xiang also went out, that is, he didn't hear that Gu Jin had the intention of going out.

It wasn't until the evening that the main street of Bianliang City was already crowded, and the news of Shang Guyuan came back: Miss Gu Jiaer went out.

Lu Guitang was overjoyed in his heart, and then went out.

Coincidentally, when they got to the long street, they saw her.

She was covered in clouds today, and a layer of snow appeared around her, but she was a little cold because of a faint smile hanging from the corner of the girl's mouth.

Lu Guitang watched Gu Jin take the two little maids all the way to watch the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles, winning the gambling sound, and filling the entire long street.

He followed silently, but did not dare to approach.

Today, Gu Jin's interest seems to be good, and a lantern festival has attracted a lot of her attention, and it has also won a lot of laughter from the cold girl.

He was a little frightened: Gu Jin shouldn't have come to go out today just to look at the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles, right? Could it be that it wasn't for his own invitation at all?

People will be extra nervous when they are about to get the answer, and His Royal Highness King Xian, who is usually a bamboo in his chest, is also panicked, and it is just such a flash of kung fu, Lu Guitang lost Gu Jin.

Lu Guitang turned the long street and walked through the flow of people, but he could never find the frost girl wearing the jade rabbit mask.

He grew more annoyed, and the fear of not finding her seemed worse than the fear of facing her.

After a long time, Lu Guitang's footsteps paused, he stared at a tea house in front of him, and the corners of his mouth spread out a smile again.

He remembered a phrase:

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.

BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.
