Sima Shao was still rubbing his aching head, listless.

Yesterday's meal was all about young and frivolous, drinking from day to midnight.

This carnival is like Sima Shao, who is more restrained, and he is so drunk that he can't leave.

"It's snowing again."

Sima Shao had dinner, wore thick clothes, and walked in his own yard to eat.

Yu Wenjun naughtily reached out and picked up a few snowflakes, but they turned into water in an instant, and couldn't help laughing twice, and said: "It's all called snowflakes, I don't know if they look like flowers?" ”

Sima Shao said with a smile: "Snowflakes are diamond-shaped, that is, hexagonal, and each snowflake is a delicate pattern, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a flower." ”

Yu Wenjun looked at Sima Shao a little strangely and asked, "Hexagonal snowflakes?" Your Highness, how do you know? ”

"Of course, I learned it from a book, and I'll show it to you another day." Sima Shao said.

Yu Wenjun nodded and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, if you say it's hexagonal, it's hexagonal, and if you say it's good-looking, it's good-looking." ”

I like a well-behaved daughter-in-law like you, Sima Shao smiled, and touched Yu Wenjun's face dotingly, it was hot and a little red.

Yu Wenjun secretly laughed twice, he was used to such actions, he didn't think it was frivolous, but he was happy because of His Highness's love.

Click, click... Rhythmic sounds rang out.

Behind her, the maid Nan'er knocked on the melon seeds, her movements were mechanical and precise.

This snack goods! Sima Shao couldn't help but glance back at the girl, but the person grinned, didn't care, just stuffed the melon seed skin into the small cloth bag he was carrying.

In order to eat, I also got this equipment, which is really dedicated.

Sima Shao turned his head and couldn't help rolling his eyes, there was no trick left.

Anyway, I can afford it, and I don't want to reprimand her for eating.

Yu Wenjun pursed his lips and smiled, accompanied Sima Shao to continue walking, and said slowly: "Yesterday, the Soho girl came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, but you were not there. She told me something and wanted to ask her husband for help! ”

Sima Shao asked, "What's the matter, is it difficult to do?" ”

Yu Wenjun said: "The Soho girl wants to redeem herself from the drunken fairy building and make a living in the troupe. When it comes to performance, Soho girls are still very good at playing, playing and singing. ”

Sima Shao nodded and said, "It's a good thing to be able to get out of the Drunken Immortal Mansion and be good." If she wants to go to the theater troupe, she has to apply for it herself. ”

"But the bustard didn't want the Soho girl to leave."

Yu Wenjun said: "The ransom is extremely high, that is, the lion opens his mouth to prevent the Soho girl from leaving the country. ”

Sima Shao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Miss Soho didn't let me come forward to redeem her, right?" ”

Yu Wenjun nodded helplessly and said, "That's exactly what Miss Soho meant. She said that with the reputation of His Royal Highness, the old bustard would not dare to be embarrassed. Normal redemption money, she has secretly saved. ”

Sima Shao frowned slightly, but did not decide immediately.

Sima Shao smiled and said, "Since you have asked for it, whether you succeed or not, you must always try." If the Soho girl can be freed from the country and become good, it can be regarded as a good thing. ”

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Sima Shao was not strange, and said, "You are always kind, but don't be too embarrassed." It's good to be able to do it, but it's also a good thing to do if it can't be done. ”

......

"Your Highness, you must know that Soho is now the number one brand of the Drunken Immortal Building, and if she leaves, her business will definitely be affected."

The old bustard looked sad, pointed to the Yingyan in the house, and said, "If the business is not good, these children will starve and suffer, how pitiful." ”

Sima Shao said: "It's not so miserable. Let's just say that these sisters in the house, in terms of appearance and talent, are no worse than Soho girls! ”

"Having said that, how can the reputation be all at once?"

The old bustard wiped his nose with a handkerchief, as if he could really shed tears.

"Let's just talk about Qin'er, the slave family is optimistic about her, but there is no chance to be famous." The old bustard pulled a girl, who was indeed very beautiful and had a bit of a fresh taste.

Qin'er, Qing'er, Qing'er...... Before Sima Shao could figure out the words, Qin'er had already posted it.

probably felt that Sima Shao was young, but she shook off her shame, and her actions and words were extraordinarily affectionate.

"In a few days, it will be a small year, and His Royal Highness doesn't write poems for the slave family, thinking that it is necessary to be famous?"

Qin'er hugged Sima Shao's arm, shook it gently, and breathed on her lips, close to her face.

Sima Shao's heart was shaken, but there was still a trace of clarity, and he looked at the old bustard and said: "It's not impossible to write poems and fill in the lyrics." But does this have anything to do with the Soho girl's redemption? ”

The bustard hesitated for a moment, feeling that he could compromise.

A good poem can hold a red qin, and Soho is gone to make up for it.

Moreover, judging from Sima Shao's future, it is not easy to offend.

Now it's good to talk and discuss, and it's better to get off the donkey down the slope to his satisfaction.

What's more, even if the ransom silver doesn't open her mouth, it can still make her a fortune.

"If His Royal Highness gives a good poem, the slave family will allow Soho to redeem himself in order to show his gratitude." The old bustard said with a smiling face: "Qin'er, I haven't thanked Your Highness yet." ”

"The slave family thanked His Highness."

However, he was still a little uneasy, and said: "In this way, let's just do things, don't drag the mud and water." Now I will call the Soho girl, and after the redemption is done, the next poem will be done. ”

The old bustard clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What Your Highness says, the slave family will do." ”

With that, she got up and walked out, and went to discuss with Soho about redemption.

Not in the face of Sima Shao, the amount of this ransom silver is naturally easy to discuss.

The old bustard didn't want Sima Shao to talk about it on the side, which made it difficult for her to adjust the price.

"Your Highness is full of talent, and this place is full of poetry and songs!" Qin'er was courteous, reached out to touch Sima Shao's belly, and moved it down gently.

Sima Shao hurriedly pressed the girl's hand, don't touch it, Lao Tzu will not be able to stand it.

Qin'er giggled and teased: "Your Highness is afraid, are you afraid that the slave family will eat you?" ”

Sima Shao sneered, and let a young lady tease, how did this seem to be reversed.

Shouldn't he be here to tease his sister?

There was not much time, and the old bustard and Soho walked in, and there seemed to be tears on their faces, and they didn't know whether they were really reluctant to separate, or acting hypocritically.

"The slave family thanked His Highness." Soho bowed down.

Sima Shao helped him and asked, "Is the matter done?" ”

"That's it." Soho replied, "The deed will be written in no time." ”

The old bustard laughed and said, "Your Highness opened your mouth and gave the slave family 10,000 guts, but you don't dare to bully each other." ”

"Thank you in advance here."

Sima Shao arched his hand and said: "This poem is also thought of, prepare it with pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

The old bustard hurriedly asked people to prepare, and Qin'er was very eye-catching, and personally stepped forward to lay paper and polish ink.

"Since it is sung in a young year, it must be in accordance with the time."

Sima Shao got up and picked up the pen, pretended to think for a while, stained with ink, and wrote in one go.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

Qin'er chanted in a low voice, and her eyes lit up.

When Sima Shao finished writing, he immediately bowed down and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the poem." ”

Sima Shao smiled, put down the pen, looked at it, whether it was a word or a poem, he felt satisfied.

When the old bustard saw Qin'er thanking him, he knew that this poem was good, so he put his heart at ease.

At this time, the deed had already been written and sent in.

The old bustard and Soho painted a bet, which is considered to be the end of the deal.

Seeing the old bustard squeezing tears again, Sima Shao admired in his heart, this acting skill is really good.

When the matter was done, he did not stay long, but got up and wanted to leave.

Soho got the deed of sale and couldn't wait to get out of here. only took a small burden, and followed Sima Shao out of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Although the Drunken Immortal Building is not a prison, Soho is also able to go out.

But at this time, when I saw the world outside, I was in a completely different mood, as if a bird had left the cage and was free in front of me, allowing it to soar at will.

He let out a long breath, as if the air outside was also fresh and comfortable that he had never seen before, and Soho's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.

Sima Shao glanced at Su Ho, happy for her, and understood her feelings.

After a pause, Sima Shao spoke, "Is there a place for Miss Soho?" If you don't have it for the time being, you can go to live in the wing of my mansion first, and it's not too late to look for it slowly. ”

Su Ho lowered his head slightly and said, "The slave family wants to settle down in the troupe, but I am afraid that the master will not want to." ”

"Let's go and ask." Sima Shao smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the carriage, "There is still something for the Soho girl to help, let's talk about it in the car." ”

Although the social status of the drama is not high, it is a free body, and there is no need to sell his body and pretend to laugh. Compared to the geisha, it is still the profession that Soho wants to pursue.

What else can I do?

The ransom silver was almost what she had accumulated for many years, and now there was not much left, and there was not even a place to stay.

......

There is an endless stream, and the national carnival in the crowded Jiankang City is still in full swing.

A group of people walked down the street, coming in and stopping, as if they were watching the colorful lanterns.

But only a man and a woman in the middle are really enjoying the lanterns and having fun, and although the men on the periphery are in casual clothes, they exude a majestic atmosphere, which makes people dare not look directly.

Emperor Jin Yuan stopped at the lantern riddle set up in a shop, raised his head and brushed his beard, looked at the lantern riddle, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Ah Xun came to see, this riddle is very interesting. ”

Xun Shi, who was wearing a scarf, stepped forward, looked up, smiled and said, "It's really interesting." I don't know if you can guess it? ”

Originally, she was not qualified to leave the palace, just a palace maid. So many concubines didn't choose, but chose her, most of them because she had a good son-Sima Shao.

Although he has the permission of his father, he will enjoy the lantern with him.

But there should be no less cover-up, Xun is not the kind of woman who doesn't know the importance and indulges in pampering.

Emperor Jin Yuan smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed to the plaque of the store, and said: "This is Shao'er's shop, selling hot pot and roast duck, it is said that there are many strange things during the Chinese New Year, and this is the only one in Jiankang City." ”

Xun was very surprised, she really didn't know about it.

But he quickly regained his calmness and said with a smile: "How can the master understand so well, but the concubine doesn't know at all." ”

Emperor Jin Yuan said with a smile: "Looking at the couplets in that shop, as well as the handwriting of this lantern riddle, you should be able to see who wrote it, right?" ”

Xun Shi looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The concubine didn't have time to take a closer look, isn't this Shao'er's handwriting?" ”

"The beauty of the pile of gold and jade, the first treasure of the treasure." Emperor Jin Yuan recited the couplet, bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The meaning is good, and the words are good, but this tone is a little bigger." ”

Xun Shi smiled and said, "The first treasure collection treasure is indeed ostentatious. ”

As she spoke, she looked up at the lantern riddle, diverted the topic, and said, "Could it be that this riddle is also from Shao'er?" According to the format of this couplet, it is very similar. ”

"Writing couplets is Shao'er's specialty." Emperor Jin Yuan also focused his attention on the riddle, "The jade in the mouth is indeed like the jade under the stage, but there is no intention, well, it is very interesting." ”

Xun couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Emperor Jin Yuan glanced at Concubine Ai, shook his head with a wry smile, and had no way to take Sima Shao.

"Master, the concubine has guessed the puzzle." Xun said with a smile: "The puzzle is one word. ”

Emperor Jin Yuan groaned slightly, nodded with a smile, and said, "I also guessed it, it is the country of the country." ”

Xun laughed twice and nodded repeatedly.

"Am I right?" Emperor Jin Yuan stretched out his hand to call a guy and asked.

"The guest officer guessed right."

The man is a shrewd man, seeing that this group of people occupies this stall, and no one else can enter, he knows that it is not an ordinary person, and said with a smile on his face: "What is displayed here is the prize, and the guest officer can take the same." ”

"You can only take one thing!" Emperor Jin Yuan motioned for the Xun family to come forward to choose, but deliberately ridiculed: "I heard that this shop is making money every day, why is this prize so stingy." ”

The guy explained with a smile: "The guest officer doesn't know, the reward for this lantern riddle in my house is doubled." Guess one for a prize, guess the second for two, guess the third for four, and so on. ”

Oh, Emperor Jin Yuan immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "This is fresh, no wonder there are only four lantern riddles, but there are so many prizes." I'll guess the riddle again and take most of your prize. ”

"The old man is mighty." Xun praised it playfully, reached out and took a small porcelain toy from the prize, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "This is a pig, why does it look like this?" ”

Second Senior Brother, you don't know each other, it's different when you put on clothes.

If Sima Shao is here, he will have to explain again.

Emperor Jin Yuan took a look, and also felt that this thing was weird, knowing that it was made by Sima Shao, he couldn't help but shake his head, and continued to look at the lantern riddles, Huo Ran was cheerful, and said with a smile: "The sunset is fragrant, so you don't have to be mortal." When the furnace is extinguished, make sure to bolt the horse. ”

"It must be a donkey."

"The guest officer is really powerful." The guy complimented and asked Xun to choose another prize.

Emperor Jin Yuan was proud in his heart, showing off in front of women is a common trait of men, and he looked at the third riddle, but frowned.

"The white snake crossed the river with a round of red sun on its head, and the green dragon hung on the wall and was covered with 10,000 gold stars. Hit two things. ”

Emperor Jin Yuan began to brush his beard, what is this, very peculiar!

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Jin Yuan shook his head, and then looked at the fourth: black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, and foxes, cats and dogs are as if they are neither domestic animals nor wild beasts. There are poems, words, and discourses, which are vague about the east and west, north and south, and although they are short works, they are wonderful essays. Type two words.

Xun also walked to the side of Emperor Jin Yuan, looking at these two questions also had a headache, the key is that the couplet riddle is not at all in the Jin Dynasty, I don't know the trick, without special training, it is naturally not easy to think of.

"It's very difficult." Emperor Jin Yuan shook his head.

Xun smiled bitterly and said, "I can't think of a concubine." ”

After a pause, she said, "Ask Shao'er another day how she managed to clear up this strange puzzle." ”

If you can't guess the riddle, you won't be ashamed, who can guarantee that you are a little expert in guessing riddles!

Xun said this, but also for Emperor Jin Yuan's face.

Emperor Jin Yuan nodded, and was about to leave, when he heard a loud shouting sound not far away, which seemed to be very familiar.

"My Royal Highness's riddles are the most powerful, it's not uncommon to guess one or two, it's amazing to guess three, but if you guess all four, you must be a genius in the world." The maid Nan'er boasted as she walked.

"Really?" Yu Wenjun held Sima Shao's hand, and with a good-looking lantern in his other hand, he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't guess it, just take what you see!" ”

Xunyang was held by Yu Wenjun's hand, and he also giggled, and said, "I want to take more, go back to the palace and play slowly." ”

Sima Shao didn't think so, he had those things, but he didn't send everything to the palace. But he thinks it's ordinary, but others may think it's novel and interesting.

Zhang Jun and others also carried lanterns in their hands, either won by guessing riddles, or bought them from other vendors, and they gained a lot and were even more arrogant.

But soon, they hit the iron plate, and when they saw that it was the royal guards blocking the way, they immediately wilted.

The fool also knew who these royal guards were protecting when they were not on duty in the palace, and they were in groups dressed in civilian clothes.

The guards opened a little gap, not to let the gang pass, but to let the father see who it was.

Hey?! Xunyang's eyes widened, and the lights were bright, wasn't that my father, and I knew him in casual clothes!

Sima Shao also saw it, and after being a little stunned, he hurriedly reminded Xun Yang, "My father is on a private visit in Weifu, and I don't want to expose my identity, so I can't scream." ”

Yu Wenjun blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Then what is it called?" ”

"Let's call them old and lady."

Sima Shao smiled and said, "Well, let's go over together." ”

Xunyang and Yu Wenjun agreed, took their little hands and walked inside.

Everyone else has to stop them, and these three are the exception.

The guards backed away, making way for them.

"Sir." Xun Yang shouted, but he couldn't help laughing.

Yu Wenjun didn't see Xun Yang smiling, and ran over seriously and said crisply: "Master." ”

When Emperor Jin Yuan saw his beloved daughter, he couldn't help but smile, and when he heard this title, he laughed even more heartily and asked, "Have you fun?" Why don't you take the car? ”

"I can't see clearly in the car." Xun Yang pulled his father's beard and said with a smile: "It's not cold to walk and play outside." ”

"I've seen the master." After speaking, he turned to Xun and waved at the Xun family, "I've seen Madame." ”

Xun covered his mouth and smiled, and said angrily: "Funny." ”

Emperor Jin Yuan didn't feel harsh, he didn't reveal his identity, he hoped for it, so he smiled and said: "The lantern riddle in your shop is so weird, it stumped someone." ”

Sima Shao smiled, stepped forward to stand under the lamp, waved his hand to the guy, and said, "I don't need you here for the time being, and retreat away." ”

The man recognized Sima Shao, hurriedly made a salute, and retreated far away.

Sima Shao turned around and said with a smile to Emperor Jin Yuan: "Don't be surprised, father, this lantern riddle was made by his son, just for fun, but it doesn't make much sense." ”

Xun Shi stretched out his hand and pointed to the first two lantern riddles and said, "These two are very elegant, but it is not difficult to guess." The third and fourth, but I can't think of it. ”

Sima Shao grinned, and said with a smile: "This third one is foolishness, the more talented you are, the more you can't guess." ”

"Tell me, what is this third puzzle?"

Emperor Jin Yuan felt that Sima Shao's statement was fresh, could it be that the vulgar peddler pawn could guess it?

Sima Shao was really embarrassed, but he couldn't help but say it, so he said a little smugly: "Oil lamps and scales." ”

What?! Emperor Jin Yuan was stunned at the time, this is also a lantern riddle?

But if you want to say no, you can't find any excuse.

"Hee-hee." Xun Yang laughed happily, thinking that this lantern riddle was really interesting.

Xun Shi was also stunned, and was so smiled by Xunyang, he came to his senses again, and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, how can there be such a lantern riddle?" ”

Sima Shao scratched his head and was silent.

Just have fun, who knows if you will see it?

Emperor Jin Yuan was angry and funny, pulled his face and pointed to the last riddle, and said angrily: "What about this, it's also made up?" ”

"Not really." Sima Shao hurriedly confessed and said: "This couplet is actually very interesting. ”

"Then tell me well, I don't really understand the rules of this couplet!" Xun hurriedly answered, but also did not let Emperor Jin Yuan get angry.

Sima Shao said: "This couplet is actually very simple, the puzzle is the upper "guess", the lower "riddle". ”
