Chapter 378 Lantern Riddle

The Zhen family set out for five days, but Zhen Mo was still unaware of it.

No one came to tell him in the countryside.

He never thought that anyone would dare to attack his family, so he was not very careful about the family and was as usual.

Gu Jinzhi sent someone to pay attention to Zhen Mo's movements.

Everything was as usual, either serving Tan You or returning to his own yard. He lived a monotonous and rigorous life every day.

After leaving for so many days, it was a bit difficult to catch up. Zhu Zhongjun saw that the effect was achieved, and smiled and said to Gu Jinzhi: "The eldest grandmother of the Zhen family is pure and kind and has shallow knowledge, otherwise she would not have been so easily taken by you.

I've got it away, you're lucky this time."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Yes."

She remembered Zhu Zhongjun once told her that people should not be kind, and once kindness is good, they will be used by people with ulterior motives. Gu Jinzhi used to dislike Zhu Zhongjun's tone and thought it was too mean and ruthless. Now, thinking about it, reality is so ruthless

.

The only one living in the ivory tower is Gu Jinzhi.

So, Zhu Zhongjun always felt that she was terriblely stupid, and she was indeed so.

Time flies, and the Zhen family has been away for almost ten days.

Every time Zhen Mo left home, he would tell his wife when he would go back. On that day, Grandma Zhen would send a servant from home 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 cannot go back, Grandma Zhen also needs to make other arrangements.

This is the unchanging rule for several years.

On the Lantern Festival, Zhen Mo told Tan You in the morning that he was going back to the countryside today.

Tan You said: "Let's stay for a few more days when you go back."

Every time Zhen Mo wanted to go home, Tan You said this and asked someone to give me some gifts, fruit snacks, tea, and cloth.

Zhen Mo thanks.

He returned to his yard to pack his luggage.

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

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

The roads in the countryside are difficult to walk, and sometimes even if the servants miss the time.

Zhen Mo was too lazy to wait, so he wanted to get home before lunch, so he took his servants to get up and leave the city.

In the city during the Spring Festival, the excitement should not have been boiling in the morning, but the streets were blocked and it was blocked. Zhen Mo's carriage squeezed for half an hour before leaving the city.

After leaving the city, he rushed directly to Liujiazhuang.

Lanterns should be hung at the door early on during the Shangyuan Festival.

The carriage stopped, Zhen Mo got off the carriage, but saw that there was silence at the gate of the Zhen family, the door was closed, and the copper door cymbals were covered with a layer of gray.

Zhen Mo screamed in his heart. Before the servant could knock on the door, he stepped forward quickly. His heavy palm hit the Zhuhong gate in person, and the cymbals were also vibrated. It was so loud that they were harsh.

It took a long time before a servant came to open the door slowly.

Seeing that it was Zhen Mo, the servant was not surprised and called him Master.

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

The servant was also confused: "Grandma is gone, wasn't it the master's order? Grandma asked us to stay at home and hide in the cellar if there is something wrong..."

Zhen Mo only felt a cup of cold water and poured it on his head.

He kept 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 accompany the Empress Dowager to celebrate the festival.

The banquet is set up in Renshou Palace.

The attendees were the emperor and the empress dowager.

Then, the crown prince.

Below the crown prince are all vassal kings who have not yet left the capital.

The concubines and princesses were divided into two rows, with different statuses sitting down.

As the rituals and music start, the sound of silk and bamboo lingers.

The fragrance of wine filled the four seats.

After the Empress Dowager moved to Renshou Palace, the situation in the court became more and more urgent. Especially the Tan family, the intention was about to emerge.

The concubines in the palace had their own thoughts.

The princes were sitting upright, with a respectful and cautious attitude. No one wanted to move into the storm. They just wanted to celebrate the Lantern Festival safely and return to their respective fiefs and live happily.

When toasting, Gu Jinzhi lowered his feather eyelashes, neither looking at the emperor nor the empress dowager, toasted the wine in a regular manner and returned to his seat.

After the banquet, I listen to the opera.

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

During the break during the opera, the palace people brought lanterns to write riddles, and they would guess that the riddles would be a lottery.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were not used to playing with this, so they picked up the pen, but for a moment they didn't know how to start.

Looking at the Nanchang King next to him, he finished writing quickly, and he gently turned to his side, making his princess whisper in his ear, teaching his princess. Princess Gong of Nanchang nodded and quickly wrote it on.

Gu Jinzhi was a little anxious.

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

"What are you guessing?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

"Guess a word." Zhu Zhongjun said.

Gu Jinzhi thought about it in his heart and couldn't help but smile. It was very appropriate. He wrote "day after day" on it, decorated it and handed it over.

Zhu Zhongjun thought about this, and then he thought about it again.

Then, he wrote the word "分" and then attached it with "分 idiom".

Gu Jinzhi was 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, didn't tell her, and said, "Think about it..."

Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to sit upright.

Taking advantage of the answer to the puzzle of Gu Jinzhi thinking about Zhu Zhongjun, everyone finished writing, and the palace people put away their pens and ink and handed them over the lanterns.

After singing two operas, the riddles were ready.

The eunuch Liu Shu came in and reported, saying, "The lanterns in Nanhua Palace have been hung. Please ask Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, all the princes and the girls to appreciate the lanterns..."

Nanhua Palace is not far from Renshou Palace, and it is just a few steps away.

The emperor personally helped the empress dowager, the crown prince helped the empress dowager's other arm, and everyone followed them and headed towards Nanhua Palace.

The main hall of Nanhua Hall is hung with lanterns, illuminating the roof of the Blue Void, reflecting the dazzling light, and then landing on the marble ground.

The ground of Nanhua Palace was actually light to identify objects for a moment.

Gu Jinzhi followed Zhu Zhongjun and entered the hall.

She whispered to Zhu Zhongjun: "It's amazing, there are so many riddles, I'm afraid everyone will guess one, and it will be finished tonight."

She was not sure.

Zhu Zhongjun's riddle. She still hasn't remembered what it is.

"You can't guess?" Zhu Zhongjun gloated.

Gu Jinzhi glared at him.

"I tell you the answer to my riddle. If you are really not sure, you can take down my riddle first and turn around and use it to make up for the numbers." Zhu Zhongjun whispered.

Everyone's riddles have their names written.

Gu Jinzhi took Zhu Zhongjun's riddle, wouldn't he cheat?

It's better not to guess.

"No, isn't this a deception?" Gu Jinzhi said. "I'll take a look first. If I can't guess, I'll pretend to be a headache..."

Zhu Zhongjun wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to be arrogant. But in the end, he couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, when he entered the hall, everyone whispered around the lanterns, and the hall was loud and loud, covering Zhu Zhongjun's laughter.

There was someone surrounding the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were too lazy to move forward.

The two of them slowly started to watch.

There are also lantern festivals in the market, and there are many riddles. Merchants ask people to guess, and give money or goods correctly, as a gimmick to attract business, so it is more difficult.

But what is in the palace is just fun. If it is too difficult, it will be boring if you can't guess. Therefore, it is mostly simple and popular.

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

"...The black charcoal is hidden in my belly. Wearing a beautiful robe, it makes me angry and jumps eight feet high. I will beat something." The crown prince was thirteen years old and had an adult figure. He stood beside the queen mother and said loudly to the queen mother for her.

Telling riddles.

He was at the age of changing voice, so his voice was hoarse and low, like a person stained with wind and cold.

This riddle was created by him.

The Queen Mother thought about it and said with a smile: "Is it a firecracker?"

The crown prince hurriedly said, "That's right. The grandson thought about it for a long time, and the emperor and grandmother guessed it."

The Empress Dowager smiled happily and said, "It will be difficult for your grandmother to do these popular mysteries. In the future, you will study hard and have more literary writing in your stomach, and you will be a difficult one."

Then he called the palace maid Cheng Wan: "The prince is well done in this mystery, the Ai family likes it, so he brings the gifts from the Ai family..."

The crown prince may not know the profound riddles. Even if he doesn’t know, there are all such a group of attendants in the East Palace, who is not well-versed in the past and the present? It’s not easy to write a riddle for the crown prince and let the crown prince recite it?

The crown prince made this simple riddle to win the queen mother's smile.

The Queen Mother is a very supportive person. She always knows how to leave the glory and pride to the emperor and the prince, and she is the one who supports him on her back. As soon as the prince's riddle came out, the Queen Mother immediately received a reward.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

However, Concubine Tan's eyes were a little darker when she looked at the crown prince. Her obscurity flashed by, but Gu Jinzhi looked at her right.

Gu Jinzhi quickly moved his eyes away to prevent Concubine Tan from finding herself peeping.

When Gu Jin was doing some tricks, the Queen Mother guessed a few more.

Several princes and concubines were smiling and complimenting the Queen Mother’s blog posts and knowledgeable

It is not difficult for the Queen Mother. These are all guesses.

But Gu Jinzhi was a little nervous. She looked at it casually, only knowing two.

The two she knew were guessed by the Queen Mother.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor also came to guess.

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

Unfortunately, the other person from Gu Jinzhi's meeting was guessed by the emperor...

Gu Jinzhi glanced at him a few more times, but he couldn't do it. He had to gently pull Zhu Zhongjun's sleeve: "Tell me the answer to your mystery."

Zhu Zhongjun was slightly surprised and asked, "Don't you know how many?"

"I've guessed it by the Queen Mother and the Emperor..." Gu Jinzhi said helplessly.

Zhu Zhongjun was surprised at first, and then laughed.

His laughter could not be suppressed for a moment, filling the entire hall.

Everyone's eyes immediately moved to him.
