Chapter 25 Lantern Festival Lantern Festival (3)

Author: Nanhuai Shengge

Zhu Langshuo was flattered and contented by Shen Mengxi's support, but when he saw clearly the riddle on the lantern at the top, the smile on his face froze, and then he frowned, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

The content involved in the lantern was an area that I had never heard of, and I had no clue.

"What's wrong? Brother Zhu." Shen Mengxi noticed that Zhu Langshuo's expression was a little unnatural.

Mr. Zhu Xiaohou only felt that Shen Mengxi's words were harsh and he wanted to sew her mouth shut. Her words just now were like putting him on the fire, and he felt that his face was burning at the moment.

Zhou Lingli, who was labeled as a disobedient, had her mouth closed at the moment and did not dare to say anything. Apparently she had not recovered from the shock just now.

Some people who were watching the excitement did not think it was a big deal and made fun of him, "Can't you tell? You talk about Brother Zhu who is rich in five cars~ I'm afraid he has lost his fame, right?" He also deliberately used the word "Brother Zhu" in an ups and downs.

"I just vowed that he could solve the lantern riddles, but when I saw it, hey, I couldn't solve it! So, you can't be too confident, otherwise you will be embarrassed in public."

"Learning to be rich in five cars? I'm afraid you have learned five cars of romantic stories, right?" Some people who couldn't stand it mocked.

A bunch of young men started laughing. Zhu Langshuo always loved face, and he had never been so embarrassed. His face suddenly turned red and white, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and turn around.

Su Wunian looked at Zhu Langshuo's face as if he were watching an acrobatic performance, and a hint of pleasure flashed across his eyes that were as bright as the stars.

Shen Shengge used to stick to Zhu Langshuo, dote on him, and treat him as a treasure, but these were worthless in Zhu Langshuo's eyes. He even looked down on Shen Shengge from the bottom of his heart and felt that Shen Shengge was not worthy of him.

Little did they know that Shen Shengge's reputation was ruined because of him.

Because she was sympathetic to Shen Shengge, she couldn't help but take action and trample this self-proclaimed superior man into the mud.

Shen Mengxi stepped forward at this time, "What's wrong with Xuefu Wuche? That doesn't mean he knows everything from astronomy to geography, right?"

"Cousin, this is your fault. You clearly hate Brother Zhu in your heart, and you deliberately chose the most difficult lantern to embarrass Brother Zhu in front of him!" You spoke confidently and confidently.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person!" Shen Mengxi was angry, as if she had been greatly wronged, as if Su Wu Nian had a vicious mind and was deliberately seeking revenge.

Zhu Jian's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it. What kind of person could be so shameless, "Our eldest lady is not such a person!"

"Oh? It turns out that Mr. Zhu Xiaohou can't guess the answer to the riddle. In that case, I don't force others to do anything difficult, so forget it." Su Wu thought and raised his lips lightly, half-smiling.

She called me "Master Zhu Xiaohou" instead of "Brother Zhu". She used to chase her and call her "Brother Zhu" again and again! Was it because I couldn't solve the lantern riddle that she changed her mind? Zhu Lang Shuo felt a little panicked.

Moreover, Su Wunian's indifferent expression at this moment was like a fatal mockery in Zhu Langshuo's eyes.

"It's just such a pity, that lantern is really beautiful."

"But Mr. Zhu Xiaohou, don't belittle yourself. After all, the lantern has been hanging for many years, and no one has solved the mystery yet. It's normal that you can't guess it." These words seemed to excuse Zhu Langshuo, who went down the steps.

But because of Shen Mengxi's previous praise, it seemed a bit cover-up.

Zhu Langshuo has always been proud and arrogant, but her words hurt her heart.

"This lantern puzzle must be solved by a truly knowledgeable general who understands strategy and military tactics." Obviously, Su Wu Nian implied that Zhu Langshuo was not a knowledgeable person, but a person who wanted to gain fame.

"Yes, otherwise the lantern leader wouldn't have been hanging there for several years without anyone taking it away." Someone agreed.

"He, Zhu Langshuo, is a swinger who only knows the world of mortals. How can he talk sweet words to coax an ignorant girl? He has no words in his heart and only shows his appearance." He had long been dissatisfied with Zhu Langshuo's style and made sarcastic remarks.

Because during the reign of the Empress Dowager, the status of women in the Qingyuan Kingdom was greatly improved. Men were no longer blindly superior to women, and there was a precedent for women to enter the court as officials.

Folk customs are gradually opening up. In fact, it is very common to see a woman holding the arm of the man she likes on the street, but she can't stand the way Shen Mengxi and Zhu Langshuo behave.

One of the fiancée's cousins ​​did not keep a distance from her future cousin-in-law, but instead took over the spotlight; and the other, the fiancée, actually had an affair with her fiancée's cousin in front of her fiancée, which was even more disgusting.

Zhu Langshuo clenched his fists in his blue sleeves, "Wang Yanyi, you say I'm just showing up, can you possibly answer it?"

"I know that I have little talent and little knowledge, so I will not brag about it and let my fiancée pick up the lanterns at will." Wang Yanyi said with contempt in his eyes, "Since you can't fulfill your promise, don't make it easily and make people happy in vain."

"Cousin, choosing a good son-in-law is a lifelong matter. It is not about a few sweet words and a long life together. It is about getting to know each other, nourishing things with silent care and long-lasting tolerance. There is no rush."

Su Wunian then took her eyes away from the Begonia Beauty lantern and looked back at the man who called her cousin. He was wearing a wormwood-colored silver-threaded green bamboo robe. Shen Shengge is somewhat similar.

It turned out that he was his uncle's legitimate son, Wang Yanyi. He was Su Wunian's cousin and Shen Shengge's cousin. Su Wunian lost his mother when he was young, and went to Nanchen Kingdom as a hostage for six years, so he and Wang Yanyi I've only met a few times.

As for Shen Shengge, her mother had been in a coma since she was a child, and due to Zhang Zhilan's instigation, she was not close to her grandfather's Wang family, and was particularly alienated from Wang Yanyi.

"Don't even look at what your cousin looks like. She is plain in appearance, except for her identity as the eldest daughter of the Shen family." Zhu Langshuo suddenly felt that his masculine dignity had been trampled on.

"No one is proficient in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the embroidery girl is not worth mentioning. She is also arrogant, ruthless, unruly and jealous. If she hadn't been engaged to me since she was a child, who else would have married her in the entire imperial capital?"

When Shen Mengxi heard Zhu Xiaohou's passionate retort, she was secretly happy: It seems that the day when Brother Zhu will break off the engagement is not far away!

"..." Wang Yanyi retorted silently. After all, Shen Shengge's reputation in the imperial capital was not good. She had tried to persuade Shen Shengge before, but she didn't know what she liked about Zhu Langshuo, and she was determined to marry him. he!

So he looked at his cousin with hatred and said, "Think about it for yourself."

But when he looked at his cousin, she had a nonchalant expression on her face, as if it had nothing to do with her, and he almost died suddenly of anger on the spot.

People are so open and disdainful of you, why don’t you take it seriously?!

Seeing that Wang Yanyi was speechless, Zhu Langshuo seemed to be inspired. In order to cover up the embarrassment just now, he spoke in a high-pitched voice and said decisively: "Let me see, it's not that I gave the wall to my shoulders, but that the leader of the lantern was hung intentionally by the shop owner. It’s a gimmick. In fact, there is no answer to the lantern riddle above.”

Stroke around.

Su Wu missed his maternal ancestor Wang’s family:

Wang Zijiang: Su Wu misses his biological mother.

Wang Zishan: Wang Yanyi’s father, the Duke of the country.

Wang Ziyuan (youngest daughter): Shen Shengge’s biological mother is in a coma.

Therefore, Su, Wang and Shen are cousins.
