A pretentious female voice came from outside the door, and she was a little cautious.
"The eldest son, Mr. Cheng, and the daughter of the Shen family, Lianyi, heard that you two are here and came here to pay a visit."
After Shen Lianyi knew that Gu Hanzhang had left the house, she rushed over without stopping. Fortunately, she heard that Gu Hanzhang had not left and was here with Cheng Feng, so she walked up.
Originally, I had something to talk to King Rui today, but now Gu Hanzhang is more important. What's more, King Rui fully agreed when he learned that she came to see Gu Hanzhang.
Perhaps in King Rui's eyes, she might be able to find ways to draw Gu Hanzhang into King Rui's camp, just like the Shen family did.
Thinking about this, Shen Lianyi blushed slightly and her heart beat.
"Creak!"
The door was opened, Shen Lianyi's face was full of smiles, and what caught his eye was Cheng Feng.
Cheng raised the corners of his lips and said, "Ms. Shen is well."
"Hello, Mr. Cheng, where is the prince?" Shen Lianyi asked directly without caring about his shame.
After hearing Shen Lianyi's words, Chengfeng naturally understood everything. She was here to find Gu Hanzhang, but it was a pity that Luohua was ruthless.
"Sorry, Miss Shen is late. It's really unlucky that Han Zhang has already left here. If I had come earlier, he would still be here." Cheng Feng said and opened the door directly.
There were only tables and chairs in the private room, and two teacups, one of which was empty and the other was still steaming.
Shen Lianyi looked very ugly. She didn't expect Gu Hanzhang to walk so fast.
However, she didn't give up so easily.
"Master Cheng, I wonder where the prince has gone?" Shen Lianyi asked again.
Chengfeng thought for a moment before answering, "Hanzhang went to the biggest lantern vendor. He was looking for a lantern, which he should bring back to Mr. Marquis. You also know that his grandmother, Mrs. Gu, liked lanterns during her lifetime, so For many years, he would bring a lantern back every year and give it to the old marquis to place it in front of Mrs. Gu’s memorial tablet."
However, it has been handed over today.
Hearing this, Shen Lianyi nodded, this was indeed the case.
It seemed that Gu Hanzhang was not with Chaoli, so she felt slightly relieved.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for clearing up the confusion. I will take my leave first."
Shen Lianyi folded his body lightly and left very quickly, as if he was worried that he would be stopped by Cheng Feng. He didn't even enter the room even as he spoke just now, for fear that he would be seen and get involved with Cheng Feng.
You know, Chengfeng is so famous that ordinary rich ladies are not willing to have anything to do with him.
Sometimes people don't quite understand why Gu Hanzhang, who is so clean and self-sufficient, became good friends with Cheng Feng, and why he has never been jealous in so many years.
Shen Lianyi's figure disappeared, and Cheng Feng also laughed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, am I so scary? Seeing her like this, I want to go see the excitement even more. I don't know how annoyed Hanzhang will be. Isn't it hard to say more. It's a pity, I have something important to say. Do it, or look for opportunities to watch the fun later."
Cheng Feng shook his head as he spoke, closed the door, rested in the room for a while, and looked at the scenery outside before leaving the restaurant and hiding in a dark alley.
Gu Hanzhang, who had just left the restaurant, walked silently to where Chaoli was.
At this time, Chaoli didn't know that Gu Hanzhang was getting closer and closer to her.
At this moment, Chaoli was happy because she guessed nineteen answers to the riddles correctly, and Song Lingxin also got the wisteria lantern that she had longed for.
"A-Li, you are really amazing!" Song Lingxin did not hesitate to praise Chaoli and even asked Lu Xiuyuan who was standing aside, "Brother Lu, is A-Li very powerful?"
Chaoli's face was full of smiles. Under the light of the lanterns, her cheeks seemed to be coated with a soft light, like a fairy.
"Yes, she is indeed amazing. I have never seen such a talented woman." Lu Xiuyuan also smiled heartily.
At this moment, he didn't ask Gu Hanzhang why he didn't come to accompany her, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to her.
Lu Xiuyuan has not forgotten that on the day Chaoli got married, he was so drunk that he had a headache and heartache all night long.
Chaoli returned home three days later. He was hiding at home and did not dare to go out, let alone go to the imperial palace. He was afraid of seeing Chaoli as his bride, which would make him feel like there was a mountain between them.
But unexpectedly, Chaozhen came with a message.
Although he knew Chaozhen's motives were not pure, he went anyway.
Only then did he realize that Chaoli was not as unfortunate as Chaozhen said. At least he saw Chaoli happy twice.
Even though Gu Hanzhang was not by her side today, she was not disappointed. Maybe Gu Hanzhang was just delayed, or the two of them had already agreed on their future arrangements.
Chaoli's expression moved slightly and he showed a bright smile.
"Brother Xiuyuan, don't you and Ling Xin praise me so much. It really puts me to shame. I'm not that good. I just guessed it by luck." Chaoli smiled and looked at the wooden sign on the stall.
As long as she guesses the last lantern riddle, she can get the lantern that she didn't get in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Chao Li felt very happy.
However, the other simple ones have been guessed, and the rest don't seem to be very easy.
Whenever the answer to the riddle is guessed, the wooden sign will be removed, so there are not many wooden signs left on the vendors now.
In fact, these lanterns, except for the lanterns on the wire wall in the middle, are not allowed to be purchased. The other lanterns on the left and right wire walls can be bought with money, but they are more expensive than guessing lantern riddles and a little less interesting.
Originally, the custom of the Lantern Festival is to guess lantern riddles. If you don't try it, today will seem to be wasted.
"Ah Li, there's only one left." Song Lingxin was even more nervous than Chaoli.
Chaoli's eyes were fixed on a wooden sign, which read: I want to go to the Moon Palace and pick up osmanthus branches (an idiom).
"I want to go to the Moon Palace and pick laurel branches." Chaoli murmured.
Guessing words is easier, but guessing idioms is a little more difficult.
Chaoli originally thought of something when she saw it, but after Song Lingxin interrupted her, she failed to think of it.
Lu Xiuyuan also saw that Chaoli was still thinking, so he was not in a hurry to reveal the answer to the mystery.
"unattainable."
The familiar voice came closer and closer, and the person came to a stop next to Chaoli.
Chao Li turned around, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. These two people really came together.
In fact, Gu Hanzhang stood for a long time, and when he saw Chao Li, he didn't think about it, so he stepped forward to tell the answer to the riddle.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lianyi rushed over in a hurry and happened to stop behind Gu Hanzhang.
"Sir, it's obvious that this young lady is guessing lantern riddles, why do you come to join in the conversation?"
The boss looked helpless. He admitted that the little lady was very powerful, but the last one stumped her. It was not certain whether she could guess it.
Song Ling felt a little embarrassed. When she noticed that Gu Hanzhang was walking over, she saw Chaoli and Lu Xiuyuan standing together with expressions on their faces, as if the husband had caught Hongxing's cheating wife. She immediately spoke.
"Boss, they are husband and wife."
As soon as these words came out, several people present had different expressions.
