They were guessing the lantern riddle happily, and Jia's mother sent someone over again, saying that Niangniang had sent someone over again, and asked Baoyu to hurry over. The attacker hurriedly let the maids disperse, and sent Baoyu to the front.

Qingwen was playing in the middle of the year, and all of a sudden everyone dispersed, and she said unhappily: "Didn't you just come to the basin, what happened this time?" ”

Jiang Yan guessed: "We also have some melon and fruit snacks here, and the mother always has some color to let them guess the riddle, which may be a reward." ”

Bi Zhen hurriedly said: "You forgot that Niangniang also asked them to make a riddle and send it in, maybe which one did it particularly well?" ”

Jiang Yan said clearly: "You want to go and see it again, don't you?" ”

nodded flatteringly.

When the two of them arrived at the front, the little eunuch was asking a few people if the riddle they had guessed was right, and a few people looked at the answer, Yuan Chun also guessed and couldn't, they all guessed nonsense.

Bijin listened outside, and said in awe: "If it weren't for the mother, so many riddles would have been answered correctly." ”

Jiang Yan smiled and didn't speak, so many people have to say that they are right even if they answer wrong, otherwise where will the mother's face go?

The eunuch also gave the things rewarded by the mother to the people who guessed, each of them had a palace-made poetry tube and a tea whisk, only Yingchun and Jia Huan answered wrong. Yingchun has never cared about this, but it doesn't matter, Jia Huan is not very happy, so many people look at it, and feel embarrassed.

At this time, the eunuch asked again: "What the third master said doesn't make sense, and the mother didn't guess, so she asked me to bring it back and ask what the third master was fighting." ”

Bi Jin heard this outside and walked a few steps to the door, but she didn't understand the literature and science to the point that her mother didn't want to see it, how bad is this writing of Huan Sanye?

Everyone in the room heard the eunuch's words, and they all came forward to read the riddle written by Jia Huan. I saw that it was written: The eldest brother has only eight horns, and the second brother has only two horns. The eldest brother only sits on the bed, and the second brother likes to squat on the room.

What a thing! It's not even limerick, it's just plain language, and everyone can't help laughing.

Jia Huan lost his face, but the eunuch was still waiting, so he had to tell the eunuch: "A pillow, a beast head." ”

Bi Jin heard everyone laughing outside, and heard Jia Huan tell the answer to the riddle, and he was even more curious about what the riddle was.

Jiang Yan said: "What are you anxious about? Sooner or later, Baoyu will know. ”

The little eunuchs had already returned to the palace, and they were waiting for Baoyu to come out, but then they heard Jia Mu instructed: "Quickly make a small and delicate screen lamp." He said to the sisters, "You write down everything you just made and stick it on the screen, and let's guess it too." Baoyu, you also write the one of Niangniang. ”

Baoyu sat down beside Jia's mother, hugged her arm and said, "Old lady, we guessed correctly just now that Niangniang still has a reward, I don't know what your old man is going to reward us." ”

Jia Mu patted his hand and smiled: "You monkey is always indispensable." ”

He also ordered people to prepare fragrant tea, fine fruits, and all kinds of playthings as a congratulatory for guessing.

So the whole Rongqing Hall was busy, naturally not only to see those few lantern riddles, the people hung the lanterns in the upper room, and invited Jia's mother to enjoy the lanterns for fun, which can be regarded as an atmosphere. Immediately, the house was brightly lit, Ambilight, all kinds of glass glazed silk yarn, octagonal hexagonal quadrangular type, painted with figures, flowers and birds, falling tassels, and a row was hung on the verandah, which attracted the maids and servants to come to enjoy the lanterns, and the courtyard suddenly became lively. Bi Jin also ran back to Qianyunxuan and called out the others, this time he could stand in the courtyard and watch.

When Jia Zheng came back from the court, he heard that Jia's mother was guessing the lantern riddle, so he also came over to accompany his mother. When he saw Jia's mother, he smiled and said, "Does the old lady know why today's mother admires the lanterns and guesses riddles?" This is a great thing, and the palace is preparing to celebrate it! ”

Jia Mu said: "Tell me about it!" The little eunuch who passed the word only said that there was a happy event, and he didn't know anything else. ”

Jia Zhengdao: "It's no wonder, the news has not been officially announced, but the whole court and the central government know that Yunzhou Xie Dusi has offered a method to prevent and control smallpox, and Yunzhou has successfully prevented the spread of smallpox. Isn't such a big event worth celebrating? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room fell silent.

Jia Mu clutched the crutches tightly with both hands, "Are you telling the truth?!" That's a great thing! ”

She has lived for so many years, and many of the people she knows died of smallpox, even if she did not lose her life, her life was greatly affected, and there was a little sister she knew who could only marry low because of the scar left by smallpox, and she had not seen each other again for so many years. Jia's mother felt the horror of smallpox, and when the eldest sister saw the joy, she prayed to the Bodhisattva every day not to take her away. How could she not be happy that there was finally a way to prevent smallpox, and that her children and grandchildren would no longer have to suffer from this evil disease?

Baoyu was also happy for a while, and suddenly remembered what Jia Zheng had just said, and hurriedly asked, "Yunzhou Xie Dusi?" Isn't this Third Brother Xie? ”

Jia Mu came back to her senses, "You mean the third son of Qing'an Hou?" ”

Baoyu sighed: "It's him, who only went to Yunzhou last year, didn't expect to do such a big thing." ”

Jia Zheng's face was cold, and he wanted to scold him, but in the way of Jia's mother, he just reprimanded: "You don't learn things that don't have skills!" Do you still have the face to say that you know people? Look at yourself and look at others, if I were Xie Dusi, I would be ashamed to say that I know you. ”

Baoyu suddenly shrank her head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Everyone is happy to guess the lantern riddle, and what do you say he does." Can't you be happy when you have a friend? She saw that Jia Zheng was speechless before she said, "When will the prevention and control method you just mentioned come out, our family will also hurry up to learn and learn." ”

Jia Zhengdao: "It's not clear how it is, but it seems to be a cow." ”

Although Jia Mu didn't understand what this had to do with the cow, she still said, "Then let Zhuangzi send a few heads over first." ”

Jia Zheng nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yan heard the shortness of breath next to her, and hurriedly turned her head to look over, only to see that Bi Jin's face was red with excitement, and she took her hand and said, "Great, my sister's child is preparing to get pox, and I am afraid that he will not survive, so I have been entangled for a long time, and I will ask for leave to go out and tell them tomorrow." ”

After saying this, Jia Mu saw that the juniors below didn't dare to speak because Jia Zheng was here, especially Baoyu and Xiangyun, who usually like to talk the most, but now they are also silent. It's not good to be so restrained during the banquet, after three rounds of drinking, Jia's mother sent Jia Zheng to rest.
