Although the defense of the country was greatly damaged by the Sima rebellion, after the restoration of the country, the new emperor adhered to the concept of rest and recuperation, and the defense of the country gradually became rich and powerful.

If the Wei State is superior in location and rich in resources compared to the surrounding Wu and Jin States, and has already surpassed the Wu State economically and is about to catch up with the Jin State, it is no wonder that the Jin State regards the Wei State as a thorn in the side and always wants to design to subvert the regime of the Wei State.

The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is a tradition of defending the country, and since the defense of the country has gradually become stronger, it has become more and more lively year by year.

The Suzaku Avenue from the Imperial Palace to the Castle Gate is filled with lanterns of all kinds, and each shop spends a lot of money to create its own unique lanterns, and the entire street is lit up all night long.

Every family came out to enjoy the lanterns, and even the young ladies who were kept in the boudoir on weekdays also took this opportunity to come out to play.

The cat lay on Qingyue's shoulder, following him through the flow of lights, enjoying this rare scene.

"Qingyue! Look there! Liu Meixue shouted excitedly: "That's this year's King of Lights, right?" Such a big light wheel! I'm afraid there are thousands of lights on it! It can still turn! ”

The cat looked at Liu Meixue's point, only to see a huge lantern wheel towering in the open space outside the palace, with all kinds of lanterns on it, the lanterns were painted with ancient myths and stories, and the lantern wheels kept turning, causing the people to exclaim for a while.

"This light is really powerful!" Liu Wen said mysteriously: "Guess, who came up with the idea to build this lamp?" ”

"Who? Who is it? Liu Meixue asked, "Isn't it Brother Liu Wen?" ”

"How can I have that ability, guess again?" Liu Wen said with a smile.

"Is it Li Xuan?" Qingyue said: "He is the only one in the royal family who has this leisure. ”

"Haha, Brother Qingyue is really smart, when the court discussed this matter, many courtiers recommended him, but King Jing was modest, saying that Li Xuan had done a lot of this unorthodox thing, and he didn't know if he was competent." Liu Wen said with a smile: "As a result, Li Xuan took it after listening to it, and of course no one fought with him." ”

It turned out to be Li Xuan's doing, and Ben Mao couldn't help but sigh that although this Li Xuan is not very reliable on weekdays, there is really no one who can compare to him in this kind of thing.

"Why doesn't anyone fight? Isn't this a good opportunity for the courtiers and the princes to show their faces? Maybe as soon as the emperor is happy, he will be promoted and make a fortune. Liu Meixue asked puzzled.

"Everyone used to think so, but there were still a lot of people fighting for this in the past few years, but what was the result? This job is simple and simple, it is difficult to say, it is not good to do mediocre, it is not easy to do well, and it can be seen inside and out when it is poor, so it is a hot potato now. Liu Wen said.

It turns out that this is the case, it seems that this Li Xuan is really not a coincidence, he really has two brushes.

"King Jing is indeed smart." Qingyue also said approvingly: "There is both intention and ornamentality. ”

"Yes, and as soon as this lantern wheel turns, its most brilliant colors can be seen inside and outside the palace, and everyone is happy." Liu Meixue also said.

"Qingyue, Miss Meixue, you see there are lantern riddles over there, let's go and see them too!" Liu Wen shouted.

A few people walked over with the flow of people.

"Look, this is an anagram, the three waters overwhelm the mountain. Miss Meixue, you can guess. Liu Wen said with a smile.

"It's a pawn word." Liu Meixue replied: "Shopkeeper, I guessed right." ”

"Yes, yes, the girl is really smart, our Zhuzi Silk Workshop congratulates the girl for guessing the lantern riddle." The shopkeeper smiled and handed out a satin money bag to Liu Meixue.

Ben Mao felt that this shopkeeper was a little familiar, and suddenly saw him whispering a few words to Qingyue.

Zhuzi satin village? Ben Mao suddenly remembered, isn't this Du Ming's inquisitor's contact point in the capital? Isn't it Du Ming, what's going on over there?

"Qingyue! Mei Xue! Liu Wen shouted not far away: "It's a little difficult to see this lantern riddle." ”

The two followed, but saw Liu Wenzheng standing in front of a small stall, and the owner of the stall was a man in Tsing Yi.

As soon as Ben Mao saw the man, he immediately felt helpless, this turned out to be a stall of a pot of wine shop, and this man was Huang Haoran who had just been recruited by Ben Mao.

"Look at this." Liu Wen read unconsciously: "Round death, play an idiom, how can you guess this?" Is it glorious even though he is dead? ”

Huang Haoran shook his head and said, "Childe guessed wrong, guessed wrong and wanted to drink a bowl of wine." ”

Liu Wen took a bowl of rice wine and drank it.

"Is that a blind eye?" Liu Meixue also leaned forward and said.

"No, no, no." Huang Haoran smiled and said, "The girl is also wrong. ”

Liu Meixue also reluctantly drank a bowl of wine.

"Is it a well-deserved death?" Liu Meixue asked again.

"Girl, each person can only guess once, if you want to guess, you can buy a pot of rice wine from my store." Huang Haoran said with a smile.

"Who's out of this riddle, so strange, the New Year's Eve is dead." A white-faced scholar next to him said: "I think it's just making it up." ”

"It's just that this night, no one guessed it, it is estimated that it was made up nonsense." The other answered.

"What nonsense!" A fierce man walked out from behind Huang Haoran, it was that Hongyi.

The two scholars were so frightened that they took a few steps back and hurriedly left.

"Childe, don't go!" Huang Haoran hurriedly blocked Hong Yi and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the shopkeeper is here to let us sell wine, not to fight." ”

"Okay, I want a pot." Liu Meixue said: "I can't believe it, I can't guess, is it a resurrection?" ”

"It's not."

"Life and death?"

"It's not."

"Are you alive or dead?"

......" No. ”

Seeing Liu Meixue buying a pot of wine, Liu Wen couldn't hold it anymore, so Qingyue had no choice but to intervene.

"Mei Xue, don't guess." Qingyue said: "If you guess again, I'm afraid this wine shop won't have enough wine to sell." ”

……… Qingyue is always concise and to the point, in one sentence.

"Don't guess, we don't guess." Liu Wen hurriedly put down a tael of silver and said, "Tell us directly." ”

"Thank you, Childe, Hong Yi pretended to be wine, and helped Childe send the wine back." Huang Haoran said with a smile.

"Yes!" Hong Yi pushed a small wooden cart over and loaded all the wine.

"What the hell?" Liu Meixue asked.

"It's... Sit back and wait. Huang Haoran said quietly.

......... "which is it... Strange lantern riddles? Liu Meixue was obviously very angry.

"It's our lady shopkeeper." Huang Haoran smiled and said, "You go slowly." ”

It's me......... The cat said with his head buried in his heart.

This is a joke that this cat made with Li Xuan a few days ago, but I didn't expect this Li Xuan to really use it as a business.

It's too shameless, isn't it? Ben Mao solemnly condemns him!
