CHAPTER IX

After setting up the lanterns, it was as beautiful as the boss said, the sky was already dark, and the lights were shining in the sky with colorful and lively markets, and all kinds of people, which was a scene I had never seen

We were standing in front of the stall, and the boss put on a puzzle face and asked us, "But are you here to guess the lantern riddle?" Only Lang Jun Niangzi guessed the riddle on this lantern, the lantern is yours, if you don't guess correctly, then Lang Jun Niangzi has to pay me five cents"

"It's okay," Brother Yan should come down

"Then Lang Jun wants that lantern?"

"That's good" Nan Kuyue pointed to a lantern in the second row, I like the top one, and I looked at it several times, but I didn't say it, I thought about it for a while

"Lady has a good eye, there are many people who haven't taken this lantern, so I will take out the mystery"

"Then take out the mystery of that lantern," Brother Yan pointed to the lantern I wanted

"Lang Jun is a discerning eye, this lantern is specially prepared for this lantern festival this year" The boss smiled and hung the riddle on the wooden board behind him, with the corresponding position of the lantern on it, and people began to squeeze over one after another

"There are a total of eight lantern riddles in these two, so they are placed here, if Lang Jun doesn't guess all right, I can also give other lanterns"

"Thank you in advance."

The riddles in the first row are those of the Southern Dry Moon, respectively

'Someone and no one are you'

'Each of them has two horns (one thing)'

'Acha is so weird, he wears shoes as a hat (type)'

'The spring breeze arrives in Hengyang overnight, and Chushui Yanshan is thousands of miles long.

Mo Daochun came and went, although Jiangnan is a foreign country (playing an animal)'

The second row is

'The heart is like a knife (typing)'

'Probe to welcome spring (play a verse)'

'From afar, the mountains are colorful, and the water is silent.

The spring flowers are still there, and the people and birds are not surprised (type)'

'Red on one side, green on the other, fear of wind and rain on the other' (typed)

"Someone and no one are you, you are the word 'er', I said yes?" Nan Kuyue looked at the boss

"Not bad"

"Then I guess the following one, 'a branch of red apricot out of the wall' isn't this a probe to welcome spring?"

I stood aside, next to me with a look of sudden realization, although I didn't say it, but I guessed all the riddles, I just don't know if it's right or not, anyway, there is no need to open my mouth if they are there

"Lang Jun is so smart, the following riddle is what I have been looking for for a long time, Lang Jun might as well guess this last one"

"Red on one side, green on the other, afraid of wind and rain on the other"

Brother Yan read the inscription all over the place, "This is a little difficult"

The boss was smiling happily

"Brother Yan wants a hint?" I tilted my head and smiled at him

There was light in his eyes when he smiled, and he nodded, and I saw Nan Kuyue frown when he heard me call him Brother Yan

"I don't know if it's right or not, but the seedlings are green, the fire is red, the fire is afraid of the wind, and the seedlings are afraid of flooding."

"The lady is really smart", the boss reversed the riddle of the question

"It's autumn," I don't know why, Brother Yan's tone made me think he knew the mystery

"Yue Niangzi guessed, it's better to finish guessing Yue Niangzi first" I didn't say anything on the side of Nan Kuyue, and I didn't want to hang her anywhere, after all, she had an appointment with Brother Yan

"Then listen to Mrs. Lin, I'll guess first" Nan Kuyue looked at Brother Yan and said, "You will help me."

"Lady, guess first, I don't know if I can guess it" Brother Yan didn't look at her

I touched Brother Yan lightly and said, "Chestnut"

Anyway, it's more fun to eat and watch

Brother Yan glanced at me, lowered his head and peeled me, and I saw Nan Kuyue sneering

"The second riddle is the brush," Nan Kuyue seemed to lose interest, looked at the riddle, and quickly answered, I ate a chestnut

"The third," Nan Kuyue whispered, "Take shoes as hats," looked at the boss and replied, "It's incense."

"Lady, amazing, there is one last mystery here, this lantern is the lady's" Brother Yan handed me one

"The spring breeze arrives in Hengyang overnight, and Chushui Yanshan is thousands of miles long.

Mo Daochun came and went, although Jiangnan is a foreign country, "Nan Kuanyue read the riddle all over the world

I have studied poetry a lot more than them, and I can see that what I am referring to is a wild goose, but they are all military generals, I don't know if I can guess it

Nan Kuyue looked at Brother Yan, but Brother Yan didn't look at her, but just said to me, "Lin Niangzi knows the mystery."

Brother Yan asked for her, otherwise why did Nan Kuyue ask me just by looking at her

"Although Jiangnan is a foreign country, the wild geese fly south and eventually go north, the mystery is the wild goose" I looked at the stall on the side, and felt that the purse was good, so I looked at it more, and turned around, the boss had taken off the lantern

"Lady put it away," Nan Kuyue took the lantern and played with it

"Then I'll continue to guess the rest," Brother Yan gave me the chestnuts he had peeled in his hand, "The heart is like a knife, it is a must, the mountains are colored from afar, and the water is silent when you hear it closely." The spring flowers are still there, and the birds are not surprised" Brother Yan didn't continue, look at me, did he ask me to pick him up? I said, "It's the ...... in the painting," and I didn't say any more, because at the same time as I was, Brother Yan also spoke, and I looked at him

"It is to paint the mountains, the water, the flowers, and the birds, so that you can see the mountains from afar, and hear the water silently. The spring flowers are still there, and the birds are not surprised."

"The lady and Lang Jun have a heart, then this lantern is Lang Jun's" The boss took off the lantern, and Brother Yan took it and gave it to me, "That is, I have a heart, so I will give it to the lady" I took it

Nan Kuyue held the lantern tightly

"Lady, Lang Jun, I will take the first step" When Nan Kuyue said this, there were tears in her eyes, I knew that she was Brother Xin Yueyan, and she also knew me

"Yue Niangzi, Fang Cai Xiang'er also told me that a teahouse is good, why don't we go to tea together" I'm not a good person, I'm just afraid that she will hold a grudge

"No need, take care, lady" She saluted me, I looked at her back as she left, she was crying, I don't know why I was a little distressed but happy

"The lady wants to go to the teahouse?" Brother Yan asked me, I shook my head and said, "Look at the purse over there."

Wherever I ran, I picked a purse

"How much?" I asked the boss

"Ten Cents"

Brother Yan came over to give money, I grabbed his money bag, gave money from the money bag that Xiang'er gave me, took the things, pulled him aside, and I gave him the purse, "This is a thank you gift from Brother Yan for giving me a lantern"

Brother Yan smiled and took it, "My money", and Brother Yan spread his hands

I was amused by myself and put the money in his hands

"I'll accompany my lady to put the lanterns," Brother Yan pointed to the lanterns in my hand

"Okay"

Brother Yan and I were walking on the road, and he was peeling chestnuts for me all the way

"Brother Yan has been peeling it for me, you haven't eaten one yet."

I fed him one in my hand, and he looked at me and smiled and ate the chestnut

"Is it sweet?"

"Sweet"

He went down the steps, and he reached out to help me down

"Lady, don't forget to make a wish," Brother Yan was still holding the bag of chestnuts that had been eaten in his hand

"Okay" I put the lantern into the river and clenched my hands into fists

I want to keep the snow country safe for the rest of my life

I'm afraid that if I ask too much, my wishes will not work, so as long as I am alive, I will be fine

"Lady, what did you promise?" Brother Yan looked at me

"I got up and walked forward, and he followed me and asked, "This dress doesn't look like a lady's."

"That's how Brother Yan sees it?" and my garments are mostly plain

"Your clothes are mostly cloud brocade, and the lady has slipped out."

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Yan is really smart."

"Why don't I dress up my lady again," Brother Yan said to me with a smile, "Find a noble lady's clothes"

"If you say anything, how can I have less clothes?"

"It must be a little different"

Brother Yan took me to a shop called Man Yifang

"Can you have Yunjin's ready-to-wear clothes?" Brother Yan entered the door and asked Xiao Er directly

"Yes, on the second floor, I'll take the two of them there now" There are few people who buy Yunjin, and the shopkeeper is very attentive when he hears that Yunjin wants it

"Yunjin's ready-to-wear clothes are all here, Lang Jun looks slowly, something calls me"

"I want to see how Brother Yan looks," I sat on a chair beside me, drinking tea and eating snacks

"Can a lady wear red?"

"Red? I didn't wear it, but I thought it would be OK "I don't like gaudy clothes."

"Then I'll choose"

"Brother Yan choose," I probed to see what he chose

"Don't look at it anymore, lady" I turned around, he looked at me with his clothes, I took his clothes and said, "I'm going to change"

The skirt and blouse he gave me were pale pink, the tunic and tunic were red, and the large belt had tassels

I'll change out

"How is it" I circled in front of Brother Yan

Brother Yan, it seems that I have been saying for a long time, "The ladies I see on weekdays are a little noble, and they are always very cold, but the lady has added a bit of gentleness and fireworks in the world."

"That's pretty good," I like

"I chose some beads for the lady and changed the girl's hair bun" Brother Yan pulled me to sit down

"Brother Yan still combs his hair?"

"No, I'll find someone from the store to comb it for you"

combed a hanging sideburns and inserted a few beaded hairpins

"How?" It's also the first time I've worn this kind of bun

"There is a feeling of a small jasper," Brother Yan looked at it and said, "Why don't I paint a picture of Danqing for the lady?"

As he spoke, Brother Yan called the shopkeeper to prepare the things

"The lady asked me to find it" Xiang'er came up angrily and said, "I have been looking for the lady for a long time, and the lady is dressed up here"

"Then Xiang'er, take a look, what do you think," I smiled and got up and asked her

"But there is a different feeling, some can't recognize the lady coming" Xiang'er looked at me again and said, "The previous lady is the appearance of His Majesty" Xiang'er said that His Majesty's voice automatically decreased, "But the current lady is like a fairy in the painting, but there are fireworks"

I looked at Xiang'er and smiled, "Okay, okay"

"Lang Jun, something is on the table for you"

"Thank you" Brother Yan for putting things in order

"What are you doing here, lady?" Xiang'er looked at the two of us

"It's the first time I've dressed up like this, so I'm naturally going to draw a picture of Danqing," I sat down in my chair

Brother Yan painted for two quarters of an hour, and I got up to look at Brother Yan's paintings, and I liked them very much

"Looking at it this way, the lady is more like a fairy in the painting" Xiang'er squeezed over to see

"Lady likes it," Brother Yan looked at me

I didn't look up, I just looked at the one and said "I like it"

"I'll send the lady back to the palace, I'm afraid it's time now" Brother Yan put away the painting for me and put the cloak on for me

"I forgot, I'm here to take the lady back" Xiang'er patted her head

Brother Yan asked the shopkeeper about the price, and spent a total of fourteen taels of silver, and Brother Yan gave us silver to send us to the palace gate

"Your Majesty rests early, and I'll go first," Brother Yan saluted

"Brother Yan walks slowly"

I saw that Brother Yan was gone, so I said to Xiang'er, "Take the secret road"

"Your Majesty, are you going there?" Aunt Lan's voice came from behind her

I smiled and turned around and said, "Aunt Lan"

"Let's go back and talk about it"

Finished
