Chapter 19 Keeping Your Heart and Making Yourself Unhappy

Shao Yingxiu put away her mean appearance in front of her elders, pretending to be well-behaved, gentle and gentle, and Mrs. He also said that she was good, Mrs. Xue remembered the old love of Mrs. Shao, who died early, and liked her more.

After the juniors on both sides introduced each other's names, Mrs. Xue turned her eyes to He Le'an, who was wearing a veil, and the pair of apricot round eyebrows and eyes that appeared outside the veil reminded her of the star-like little woman in the old days, and she couldn't help but sigh to Mrs. He: "I heard that this child has been raised by your side, and I came back to Fengzhou City for her." ”

Mrs. He smiled: "What is there not to do, it's just that the older people get, the more they miss their hometown, there is a big daughter-in-law in the capital, she has always been a capable person, my wife has nothing to worry about, I have put my mind down to play in the past two years, but I feel happier than in the capital." ”

The two old people who haven't seen each other for a long time chatted like this, and the juniors occasionally echoed, so that after half a day, other guests came in twos and threes, and Mrs. Xue asked her eldest granddaughter, Xue Huiyu, to entertain the juniors to go to the small pavilion on the side to play.

"In a few days, it will be the grandest lantern festival in Fengzhou City, and there will be a lot of lantern riddles at that time, let's have a lively day today, and see what particularly interesting riddles are in everyone's belly~"

The girls of Fengzhou City like the annual Lantern Festival the most, because they can go to the night market unscrupulously on that day, especially on weekdays, the family education is strict, and they can't go out normally.

Shao Yingxiu came prepared, and soon gained a lot of praise among the juniors, and the more radiant she was, the more attention He Le'an, who had not spoken, Xue Huiyu couldn't help but ask her why she didn't participate, but Before He Le'an could speak, Shao Yingxiu had already said: "An'an, even if you can't guess any riddles, you can also say some riddles you know for us to guess!" ”

seems to be a thoughtful sentence, but in fact it implies that she has no talent, and her brain is not good.

He Le'an glanced at Shao Yingxiu for a long time, and said with a smile: "Grandmother taught me not to deviate from any talent since I was a child, even if I don't like it, I have to know it, I am a qualified lady, even if I have the answer in my heart, I don't necessarily have to say it, isn't it more interesting to know who guessed the riddle that I guessed~"

The implication is that she knows all the riddles you mention, but she is too lazy to say them.

Xue Huiyu looked at He Le'an's eyes, there were obviously some subtle differences, at least compared to before, there was more kindness, she smiled: "Indeed, sometimes I prefer to watch others guess riddles, but today's party is a day for everyone to have fun, He Liu also has to join in the fun, why don't you come up with a riddle and ask us to guess." ”

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, He Le'an had no choice but to say generously: "My riddle is 'a total of two paintings', playing an idiom." ”

Everyone pondered the riddle, Shao Yingxiu was even more reluctant to be robbed of a little limelight by He Le'an, and secretly gritted her teeth and tried her best to guess, but He Le'an's riddle was vague and ingenious, if there was no proper prompt, people didn't know where to start, and she didn't want to be the one who asked the question, so she could only scold her in her heart for deliberately making things difficult, deliberately showing off her talents, and clearly making herself feel bad!

Just when everyone was hesitating to take some hints from He Le'an and guess again, a male voice as faint as the clear moon and as bright as a sweet spring sounded lazily: "A total of two, isn't it 'just right'." ”
