At the beginning of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the cloud city is lit up, and all kinds of programs to welcome the Shangyuan Festival are in full swing of preparations.

In this special festival where all the people enjoy together, Yuncheng is also going to usher in a bigger event, but for ordinary people, it is not worth eating delicious rice balls on the Shangyuan Festival, and then going out to watch the dragon lanterns, lion dances, and guessing lantern riddles, this is the life they care about.

The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the Confucian scholars of the clan, the focus of attention is on the rolling dragon field of Chonglong Temple on the fifteenth day, which swept the whole country of Dongzhao, and will surely become an unforgettable experience for them.

Mo Lingkong was alone on the top of the Moon Tower looking at the fireworks all over the city, in the night, this annual special festival began to reach its climax, and there were constantly colorful people pouring out of the streets and alleys, gathering on the street, meeting with friends, talking and laughing, and chatting.

Mo Lingkong remembered that when he was in the Umeng, he would also take a few fox friends and dog friends on this day, and after spending all day drinking, he would discuss the beauty of the city on the South Street, and only on this day, the daughters who did not leave the door would have the freedom to step out of the boudoir and expose themselves to the world, and at the same time there was no need to avoid suspicion.

For Mo Lingkong, who is used to being free, it seems that he can't experience this taste at all, after all, he wants to go wherever he wants, unrestrained, and his daily life is colorful, at that time, he was just a fun and troublesome person, in fact, he is not the kind of idiot who can fall in love with one person, but a romantic species that can be touched by the world, although it is related to age, but human nature seems to be born like this.

At least before Mingyue appeared in his world, he felt that no woman could completely tie his heart.

It's just that now, being in Cloud City, away from my parents and brothers, and even fewer fox friends and dog friends, it seems a little boring.

Seeing that there were lively points of gatherings everywhere on the street, and there were more and more people on the street, Mo Lingkong was a little entangled, whether to ask Mingyue to go out to enjoy the lanterns, or to take Song Wenxi out to look for flowers.

In addition to the eldest sister, there is also a brother and a woman in this place, which is not bad to say, but it seems very inconvenient to act.

Since Mingyue used him as a shield that day, he hasn't talked to Mingyue properly, maybe he didn't think about it, maybe he just didn't dare, it seems that Senior Sister Mingyue can only speak with a sword, he really wants to sit in her heart.

Mo Ling didn't have a sword in his hand, he only took a teapot and drank tea by himself, and it was rare that he was sober today.

Cloud City will celebrate the festival all night for three days, so the Moon Tower will not close.

The name of Moon Tower, why is it so interesting, Mo Lingkong is on the top of this building, looking at Song Wenxi's courtyard from afar, which is also brightly lit, and the attic in the left chamber is where Mingyue lives.

I don't know how long it took, Mo Lingkong floated downstairs, in Cangyun Mountain these days, I have read a book of light skills, although I have never learned, but the essentials are still more or less mastered, the body seems light and flexible, free and natural.

The little follower Huang San has already eaten and drunk enough on the first floor of the restaurant, as a bachelor, it is the same for the holidays, Yun Wuwei has a banquet, but now that he is with this Qingyun envoy, he is not in office, and he is much freer.

Qingyun made the adult generous, ordered a table full of good wine and good food, but without eating a few bites, he carried a teapot upstairs, and Huang San received the first order from the Qingyun envoy, which was to solve all these wines and dishes.

He did not hesitate to promise the boss that if he failed to complete the task, he would be punished with a cane for thirty according to the rules of the guard, and then in order to avoid being beaten, he opened his stomach and ate a heart.

Mo Lingkong sent Huang San back by himself, and finally mustered up the courage to invite Senior Sister Mingyue to go to the street to enjoy the lanterns together.

Knocked on Mingyue's door with apprehension, Mingyue was still dressed in white, this was the second time Mo Lingkong doubted that a person would not be aesthetically tired, and the first one was the strange Tsing Yi.

Mingyue's delicate pretty face is lightly powdered, her lips are ruddy, and her eyebrows are picturesque, which looks more feminine against the backdrop of the lights.

Mo Lingkong thought in his heart, it's better to look like this, if you smile, it will be even more beautiful, don't always keep a straight face and don't enter, that's not what a woman should look like, but he didn't dare to say it.

Looking at Mo Lingkong's eyes, Mingyue frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Mo Lingkong had long been accustomed to Mingyue's attitude, so he naturally didn't care about her indifference.

He said with a smile: "Senior sister, that Cloud City opened a night market today, and the whole city celebrates together, I heard that the lantern boats in Guangfuqiao are particularly beautiful, and the lantern riddles in Red Mansion Lane are very interesting, I don't know if Senior Sister is interested in going to see it?"

Mingyue glanced at him and said, "I'm not interested!"

"Uh!" Mo Lingkong looked a little lost. This senior sister has never been a reasonable person, and she will not do things she doesn't like.

Mo Lingkong was still unwilling to say: "Senior sister, you are obsessed with kendo all year round, how many beautiful days you have missed, tonight should be regarded as a combination of work and rest, maybe this relaxation will be good for comprehending kendo." ”

Mingyue naturally didn't believe what he said, but remembered that she used him as a shield last time, and she didn't say thank you, although she was not good at expressing it, but she still remembered this sentiment in her heart, so she half-believed it: "What you said is true?"

"Of course, the so-called Great Dao of the world, starting from heaven and earth, round all living beings, if you have not appreciated the laws of all things in the world, how can you achieve the grand wish of the Great Dao, everything comes from a thousand forms, and naturally know the suffering of all living beings. "Mo Lingkong has become a wise man.

Mingyue pouted and said that she didn't understand bullshit, but she still agreed to go out with Mo Lingkong. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable, on what day of the Shangyuan Festival, my family invites each other to travel and spend a good night together, this gentleman, is it that he has a mind about himself?

This is definitely a ridiculous thing, not to mention age, just say that his virtue is not what he thinks in his heart, but it is unfortunate that he is a disciple of the master chasing the wind, and the tragedy of the master and the uncle, Mingyue knows it very well.

The two went out of the door, went straight to Guangfu Bridge, this link to the inner and outer city of the thousand-year-old bridge, across the two banks of the Erhe River, the wide arch bridge, has long been overcrowded, the pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the river, all hung with lanterns, the form is diverse, colorful, the whole Erhe River reflects the transparent and bright, there are lantern boats shuttling back and forth in the river, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is endless, the staggered planning, laughter and laughter, really prosperous weather, festive attitude.

Mingyue didn't know if she was infected by this environment, the expression on her face softened a lot, Mo Lingkong looked at her quietly, but Mingyue turned around and walked towards Red Mansion Lane.

Mo Lingkong followed behind, very happy in his heart, this senior sister is an unattainable existence for many people, and it is a supreme honor to be able to sell him face.

When I came to the Red Mansion Lane, I saw stalls guessing lantern riddles everywhere, and how many literati dressed as Confucian scholars held paper fans, and invited men and women to guess lantern riddles in a very chic manner.

Looking at those active participants, there is no doubt that they are not the sons and brothers who dress up as literati and occasionally boast of being amorous in brocade clothes, but today they pay attention to enjoying with the people, regardless of whether they are high or low, so there are naturally princes and grandsons on this street, and they are noble and noble.

Mo Lingkong was not familiar with these, but when he met Song Wenxi and Princess Xiangyun walking all the way, he realized that it was not that he ignored this prince brother, but that he was ignored in advance, and he actually didn't say a word to himself, so he still wanted to pull him to be chic.

Princess Xiangyun naturally saw Mingyue, and she admired this senior sister very much, so when the four of them met, they just greeted each other and traveled together.

Princess Xiangyun saw Song Wenxi for the first time, and only brought Liu Er alone, and from her words and demeanor, she knew that this person seemed to be different from what she imagined.

Xiangyun, who intends to investigate Song Wenxi, did not talk about any ambitions for the family and country, but was strategic, but sought some views from some trivial things, Song Wenxi answered fluently, and had some opinions of his own, but he was not a stereotypical nerd, not to talk about some clichés and empty words, which Xiangyun was still relatively satisfied with.

Her Royal Highness the princess, who had a strange temper, saw a guessing field surrounded by many people in front of her, so she proposed to go and have a look, intending to see if Song Wenxi was well-informed.

Although this lantern riddle is just a small game, it is exquisite to see and hear, and the strain is exquisite, and the brain is good to know if you try it.

Xiangyun originally didn't want to see this foreign prince, and it was because of this that he quarreled with the emperor, but later learned a little responsibility from Mo Lingkong's body, and knew that since things could not be changed, he would manage it with his heart, and as a result, he saw a real person, and it seemed to be okay, and this trip was also the idea given to her by the queen mother.

When Song Wenxi received the invitation, he was very surprised, no matter from which point of view, having a good relationship with his fiancée would have no benefit.

Seeing a few guys dressed as Confucian scholars arguing about a lantern riddle, and many answers could not be matched, Xiangyun had a wicked smile on his face, and then squeezed into the crowd to see the colorful silk cloth hanging under the lanterns that read: "Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; Poetry is not, words are not, and Analects are not; the ambiguity of east, west, north and south, although it is a short piece, it is also a wonderful text. This is obviously written in the form of couplets, and the riddle is to guess two words, and a group of people can't think of it even if they scratch their heads.

Xiangyun's eyes looked over, Song Wenxi was a little panicked in his heart, he had never touched this, turned his head to look at Mo Lingkong, Mo Lingkong knew the embarrassment of this prince brother, so he naturally had to help the brother stick a knife in his ribs.

After thinking for a while, he remembered that he had seen it in a wild history of the previous dynasty, saying that this was a mystery that a scholar of the previous dynasty came out at the request of the emperor, and he didn't know it at the time, but then remembered that the answer was the word "guessing riddle", so he quietly passed the news to Song Wenxi, and Song Wenxi, who got the answer, was very grateful to Mo Lingkong, and stepped forward and said: "Let me try." After a few breaths, he slowly spoke: "This Shanglian should be a "guess" word, one side is green, naturally not black nor white, red and yellow are not; The next link is a "riddle" word, neither a poem, nor a word, nor a Analect, although it is very short, but the mystery is endless, of course it is a wonderful text. ”

Song Wenxi's voice fell, and the audience fell into silence, just waiting for the gray-bearded old man in a Confucian shirt to announce the answer, and they faintly felt that this boy was right.

The old man in the Confucian shirt smiled and said: "This son is very knowledgeable, it is these two words, the old man is also a pick-up of people's teeth, I never thought that there were still people who knew it, it was really rare, even so, this lamp will be given to the son!"

Song Wenxi took the lantern and sent it to Xiangyun with some flattery, Xiangyun was actually a little surprised in his heart, took the lantern with a red face, and carried it himself.

Mo Lingkong had to admire Song Wenxi for really being a real talent, he just told the riddle, but he didn't expect his explanation to be exactly the same, and his ability to adapt to changes was beyond doubt.

Mingyue had already seen the cattiness between them, and when she saw Mo Lingkong's eyebrows fluttering, she said lightly: "Since you are so capable, why don't you guess this." ”

Following the direction of Mingyue's finger, Mo Lingkong saw a very exquisite octagonal hanging lantern, he secretly said that Mingyue had a good eye, walked over to take a look, and suddenly made a difficulty......
