Chapter 378 Lantern Riddle

Section 378 Lantern Riddle

The Zhen family set out for five days, but Zhen Mo still didn't know it.

No one came to tell him in the countryside.

He didn't think that anyone dared to hit his family, so he didn't pay much attention to his family, and it was as usual.

Gu Jinzhi sent people to pay attention to the movement of Zhen Mo.

He did everything as usual, either serving Tan You or going back to his own yard. He lives a monotonous and rigorous life every day.

The Zhen family has been gone for so many days, and it's a little difficult to catch up. Seeing that the effect was achieved, Zhu Zhongjun said to Gu Jin with a smile, "The grandmother of the Zhen family is pure and kind, and her knowledge is shallow, otherwise she would not have been taken away by you so easily. You are lucky this time."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Yes."

She remembers that Zhu Zhongjun once told her that people can't be kind. Once they are kind, they will be used by people with ulterior motives. Gu Jinzhi used to be very unhappy with Zhu Zhongjun's tone and felt that it was too mean and ungrateful. Now that I think about it, the reality is so ruthless.

The only one who lives in the ivory tower is Gu Jinzhi.

So, Zhu Zhongjun always feels that she is terriblely stupid, and she is indeed.

In a blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival has come, and the Zhen family has been gone for nearly ten days.

Every time Zhen Mo left home, he would tell his wife which day he would go back. On that day, Grandma Zhen will send her family to pick her up early.

Not only to pick up Zhen Mo, but also to see if Zhen Mo is in trouble.

If something is delayed and you can't go back, Grandma Zhen will also make other arrangements.

This is a rule that has remained unchanged for several years.

On the Shangyuan Festival, Zhen Mo told Tan You in the morning that he would go back to the countryside today.

Tan You said, "Go back and stay for a few more days."

Every time Zhen Mo wanted to go home, Tan You said this and asked someone to send a lot of gifts, fruit snacks, tea, cloth, and let Zhen Mo take them back.

Thank you at the end of the page.

He went back to his yard and packed some luggage.

Every time I go home, as long as there is no emergency, Zhen Mo will bring some gifts. He bought it himself, Tan You rewarded him, and loaded half a car.

He sat at home and waited for a while. Seeing that there was still no family in the countryside to report the news, Zhen Mo was suspicious.

The road in the countryside is not easy to walk, and the family sometimes misses the time.

Zhen Mo was too lazy to wait. He wanted to get home before lunch, so he got up with his men and went out of the city.

In the city of Shangyuan Festival, the excitement should not have boiled in the morning, but the streets were also blocked. Zhen Mo's carriage squeezed for half an hour before leaving the city.

After leaving the city, go straight to Liujiazhuang.

On the Shangyuan Festival, lanterns should be hung early at the door.

The carriage stopped, and Zhen Mo got out of the carriage, but saw that the door of the Zhen family was silent, the door was closed, and the copper door was full of dust.

Zhen Mo couldn't shout in his heart. Before the boy could knock on the door, he quickly stepped forward, and his heavy palm hit the vermilion gate in person. For a moment, the door vanadium was also shaken and sounded harshly.

It took a long time for a family to slowly open the door.

Seeing that it was Zhen Mo, the family was not surprised and called the master.

Zhen Mo hurriedly asked, "What are you doing when your house is closed?"

Jia Ding was also confused: "Grandma has left. Didn't the master tell you? Grandma asked us to watch the house and hide in the cellar as soon as something happened..."

Zhen Mo only felt a ladle of cold water and splashed on his head.

He was cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

On the Lantern Festival, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun entered the palace to spend the festival with the Empress Dowager.

The banquet is set in Renshou Palace.

The main seats are the emperor and the empress dowager.

Then, it was the crown prince.

Under the crown prince, there are the vassal kings who have not yet left Beijing.

The concubines and princesses are divided into two columns, and their status varies from level to level.

The music starts, and the sound of silk bamboo lingers.

The aroma of wine is overflowing with four seats.

After the Empress Dowager moved to Renshou Palace, the situation in the court was tense again. Especially the Tan family's intention is to come out.

The concubines in the palace have their own thoughts.

The princes are sitting upright, respectful and cautious. No one wants to move into the storm. They just want to spend the Shangyuan Festival safely and return to their respective fiefdoms and be free and happy.

When toasting, Gu Jinzhi lowered his eyelashes and looked at neither the emperor nor the empress dowager. He toasted and returned to his seat.

After the banquet, listen to the play.

This time, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun sat in the same place.

During the interval of listening to the play, the palace people took lanterns again, and asked everyone to write lantern riddles one after another. After that, they guessed the lantern riddles would be colorful.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were not used to playing this. They picked up their pens and didn't know how to do it for a while.

Looking at the Nanchang Wang Fenshu next to him, he finished writing it quickly. He gently turned sideways and asked his princess to whisper in his ear and teach his princess. Gong, the princess of Nanchang, nodded and quickly wrote it down.

Gu Jinzhi is a little anxious.

Zhu Zhongjun said in her ear, "Day after day."

"Guess what?" Gu Jin's question.

"Guess a word." Zhu Zhongjun said.

Gu Jinzhi thought about it in his heart and couldn't help smiling. It was very appropriate, so he wrote "day after day", typed it, and handed it in.

Zhu Zhongjun thought about such a thing, and the following is another meditation.

Then, he wrote the word "grab" and then prefixed it with "play an idiom".

Gu Jinzhi is not good at this kind of word game. She thought about it and couldn't guess which idiom. She asked Zhu Zhongjun in a low voice, "What is it?"

Zhu Zhongjun smiled and didn't tell her, saying, "Think about it again..."

Gu Jinzhi had to sit upright.

Taking advantage of Gu Jin's idea of Zhu Zhongjun's riddle, everyone finished writing one after another. The palace people put away the pen and ink and handed over the lanterns.

After singing two plays, the lantern riddle is ready.

Liu Shu, the eunuch, came in and said, "The lanterns of the Nanhua Hall have been hung up. Please, your majesty, the empress dowager, all the princes and women to enjoy the lanterns..."

The Nanhua Hall is not far from Renshou Palace, and it is only a few steps away.

The emperor personally helped the empress dowager, and the crown prince held the other arm of the empress dowager. Everyone followed them and went to the South China Hall.

The main hall of the Nanhua Hall hung lanterns all over the hall, shining the top of the blue dome hall clearly, reflecting the burning light, and falling on the marble floor.

On the ground of the South China Hall, the light can be found for a while.

Gu Jinzhi followed Zhu Zhongjun and entered the hall.

She whispered to Zhu Zhongjun, "It's amazing. With so many lantern riddles, I'm afraid everyone will guess one, and it won't be over until tonight."

She is not sure.

Zhu Zhongjun's lantern riddle, she hasn't remembered any idiom until now.

"Can't you guess?" Zhu Zhongjun gloated.

Gu Jinzhi stared at him.

"My lantern riddles tell you. If you are really not sure, you can take down my lantern riddle first and recharge it later. Zhu Zhongjun whispered.

Everyone's lantern riddles have written their names.

Gu Jinzhi took Zhu Zhongjun's lantern riddle. Isn't it cheating?

It's better not to guess.

"It's not good, isn't this bullying you?" Gu Jin said, "Let me take a look first. If I really can't guess, I'll pretend to have a headache..."

Zhu Zhongjun wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous. But in the end, I couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, when they entered the hall, everyone whispered around the lantern. The hall was loud and cursed, covering up Zhu Zhongjun's laughter.

In front of the empress dowager and the emperor, there were people around, and Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi didn't bother to move forward.

The two of them looked at it slowly.

There are also lantern fairs in the city, and there are a lot of lantern riddles. Merchants ask people to guess, guess the right money or things, as a gimmick to attract business, so it is more difficult.

But in the palace, it's just for fun. If it's too difficult, it's boring to guess, so most of them are simple and popular.

Gu Jinzhi is not good at puzzles, but he can guess one or two correctly.

"... There was black charcoal hidden in the belly, dressed in a brocade robe, which made me angry and jumped eight feet high. Hit something." The crown prince was thirteen years old and already had an adult figure. He stood beside the empress dowager and read lantern riddles loudly for the empress dowager.

He was at the age of changing his voice, so his voice was hoarse and low, like a cold man.

He made this lantern riddle.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Is it a firecracker?"

The crown prince hurriedly said, "Exactly. The grandson thought for a long time, and the royal grandmother guessed it.

The Empress Dowager smiled happily and said, "It's not difficult for your grandmother to do these popular mysteries. In the future, study hard, have more ink in your stomach, and be a difficult one."

Then he called the maid Cheng Wan: "The prince has done a good job in this mystery. I like it. Bring the gift of my family..."

The crown prince may not be able to do a deep lantern riddle. Even if he can't, such a group of attendants in the East Palace, they are all from Hanlin. Who is not from ancient and modern times? Isn't it easy to make a lantern riddle for the prince and let the prince carry it?

The crown prince made this simple lantern riddle, which was nothing more than a smile from the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager is a very good supporter. She always knows how to leave the scenery and pride to the emperor and the prince. She is the supporter on her back. As soon as the prince's lantern riddle came out, the Empress Dowager immediately rewarded him.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

It's just that Tan Guifei looked at the crown prince's eyes, which added a little obscurity. Her obscurity flashed by, but she was looked at by Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi quickly looked away again to prevent Tan Guifei from finding herself peeping.

When Gu Jinzhi made a small move, the Empress Dowager guessed a few more.

Ses of princes and concubines are laughing and complimenting the Empress Dowager's broad knowledge

It is not difficult for the Empress Dowager. These are all usual guesses.

Gu Jinzhi is a little nervous. She looked at it casually, only two.

The two she could have guessed one of them by the Empress Dowager.

Then, the emperor also came to guess.

He also guessed several times in a row and rewarded the riddle.

Unfortunately, the other one of Gu Jinzhi's meeting was guessed by the emperor...

Gu Jinzhi casually looked at a few more, but he couldn't do it. He had to gently pull Zhu Zhongjun's sleeve: "Tell me your riddle quickly."

Zhu Zhongjun was slightly surprised and asked, "Don't you know a few?"

"It was guessed by the empress dowager and the emperor..." Gu Jinzhi said helplessly.

Zhu Zhongjun was first surprised, and then laughed.

His laughter, uncontrollable for a moment, filled the whole hall.

Everyone's eyes suddenly moved to him.

This is to make up for the day before yesterday. I'm so flattered to thank you for the generous reward of 100,000 yuan from my hometown. I have been writing a book for nearly three years, the first leader, the excitement is indescribable, and I am grateful again. RS
