Hearing this, Yunzhen explained, "The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in Dongli Kingdom. It lasts for about seven days. People put out lanterns and make wishes. It is said that the gods can fulfill their wishes. Many young men and women will come out of their homes during this time.
, put out lanterns, and even guess crossword puzzles, some more talented men will organize poetry gatherings to express their talents, so as to attract some women from wealthy families and then enter the court as officials..."
As she said that, she glanced at Hao Ren and pursed her lips, smiling, "Mr. Hao's poems had already been circulated, and people in the capital of Dongli also knew about them. Many people regarded them as the greatest compliment to a woman. If
If people know that you are the one who composed that poem, I think many women will go crazy."
In the feudal era, talented men were often particularly favored. A poem that has been passed down through the ages can leave a person's name in the annals of history. Naturally, countless people will be moved. Hao Ren's poem was originally written for Yunzhen, but although she is beautiful
, but still can’t support this poem.
Hearing this, Hao Ren smiled and shook his head. He didn't care much about these false reputations. He was just a porter of poetry and was not responsible for producing poetry.
"Mr. Hao, look at this crossword puzzle and suffer a lot. What is this?"
Yun Zhen pulled Hao Ren and suddenly pointed to a stall nearby. There were lanterns on it, all colorful, and each lantern looked different.
"Girl, if you guess correctly, you can take away the lantern for free. If you guess incorrectly, you need to buy it with money, three yuan each."
The boss behind the stall said with a smile.
There are many people around, looking at the lanterns above, with eager gleams in their eyes. Many people have already guessed, but basically no one can guess right. They are in this business. If you are
Guess what kind of business it is.
However, for an undergraduate literature student in modern society, this is simply playing house.
"antiquity"
Hao Ren said casually.
The boss behind the stall looked startled, then smiled, "This young man guessed it right, it's the ancient character."
With that said, he took down the lantern and handed it to Yunzhen.
Yunzhen happily took over the lantern, and many people around him looked envious. How much it cost was less important, but the most important thing was the sense of accomplishment for free.
"This is a black dog. It doesn't bark or roar."
Yun Zhen got addicted and pointed at another goldfish-shaped lantern.
Behind them, the village chief and Mo Chen both had smiling expressions on their faces and looked around casually. Mo Chen looked at the backs of Hao Ren and Yun Zhen and chuckled, "These two people match up well."
The village chief nodded, with a hint of smile in his eyes, "This woman is a good helper. If we go back in the future, we can leave some things here to her, but the premise is that this little guy can completely accept her
.”
"You want to?"
Mo Chen's eyes flashed, and the village chief smiled without saying anything else.
"Mo, you can't even do something so simple."
Hao Ren curled his lips.
The boss behind the stall smiled bitterly, took off the lantern and handed it to Yunzhen.
Everyone else saw it, and their eyes were a little red, and they felt a little jealous.
Yunzhen held two lanterns, and her spring-like eyes were curved into crescent moons, like a girl seeing the world for the first time.
On the side, a masked figure looked at this scene angrily, pointed at a lantern above and said, "This is Bai."
"wrong."
The stall owner said with a smile.
Hao Ren glanced at it and saw that it was the bright moon in the sky, it should be the sun. However, the voice that spoke was obviously that of a little girl. Although she wore a cute bunny mask on her face, you could tell just by looking at her clothes.
At this time, after hearing the stall owner's words, the little girl suddenly said angrily, "I don't care, this is Bai. If I guessed it right, I'll take it away."
As he said that, he stretched out a pair of white and tender hands, trying to take the lantern away by force.
Seeing this, the stall owner's face changed, "What, you want to rob? There are people from the government around you. If I just shout, you will go to jail today."
When the little girl heard this, she looked at him angrily and stopped moving her hands. It was not that she was afraid of the stall owner's words, but she didn't want to make the matter bigger. She finally ran out of the palace. Once she was caught,
But it was difficult to come out again. It happened to be the Lantern Festival these days, and she wanted to have a good time.
Therefore, she turned her attention to Hao Ren. Just now, Hao Ren casually solved two crossword puzzles, which showed that he did have some ability and could ask Hao Ren to help.
So, she looked at Hao Ren, saw a tael of silver appear in her hand, and said, "Help me solve this puzzle, and this tael of silver will be yours."
Everyone around was stunned, and even looked at each other with strange expressions. Is this little girl mentally ill? If you have money, just buy it. You can buy one for two yuan. You can do it with just one tael of silver.
I bought five.
Hao Ren was also a little stunned, but looking at the other party's actions, he took the other party's money and said with a smile, "We can't let the boss do business at a loss."
As he spoke, he threw the silver to the stall owner and said with a smile, "This crossword puzzle should be day."
The stall owner was a little surprised and took the money, but after hearing Hao Ren's words, he nodded quickly, "Young Master guessed it right, this lantern is yours."
After saying that, he untied the lantern and handed it to Hao Ren. Although he lost three lanterns from Hao Ren, he still gave him one tael of silver, which was a good profit.
Hao Ren took the lantern and gave it to the little girl, smiling and saying, "You want it."
The other party took the lantern and left angrily. Obviously, Hao Ren's doing so was no different from buying it.
When the people around him saw this, they couldn't help but nod. Hao Ren didn't catch a small stall gathering wool, so he knew enough was enough and left the stall with Yunzhen.
"Let's go put this lantern away."
Yunzhen said with some excitement.
Hao Ren was a little helpless, "We came here to inquire about information, not to play."
"It's not like we're in a hurry."
Yunzhen said with a smile.
With that said, he pulled Hao Ren and walked towards the river.
On the other side, the little girl left the stall and started walking again with a lantern. Around her, several seemingly inconspicuous men were vaguely surrounding each other, their eyes never leaving her back.
The village chief and Mo Chen looked at each other, and the latter chuckled, "It seems that this little girl comes from a famous family. Whenever she goes out, she is surrounded by first-rate warriors to protect her."
The village chief also smiled and shook his head, not paying attention. This lantern festival seemed to be very important to the people here, and it was not unusual for some descendants of big families to come out.
By the river, Yun Zhen held a lantern, closed her eyes, and seemed to be making a wish. She also handed the other one to Hao Ren.
However, Hao Ren had no interest in these things, so he threw them into the river and watched the lanterns float away along the current.
At this time, there were many flower boats on the river, and a group of young men were standing on the bank, making noisy noises. From time to time, a man could be seen being invited to a flower boat.
"That is?"
Hao Ren looked at that scene with some confusion.
"There are some ladies on the flower boat. If you want to talk with them at night, you need to get their recognition. The standard for recognition is very simple, that is talent. As long as you are good enough and have outstanding talent, they will also be willing to get to know you. If you have
With ability, it is not impossible to win a beauty back. Once you really succeed, with the power of the family behind these great ladies, it will not be difficult to help you rise to the top. Therefore, every lantern festival is also the time when the Dongli Kingdom has the most talented and beautiful people."
Yunzhen took a look, chuckled and spoke.
"That's it, I thought it was Qing..."
Hao Ren spoke angrily, but stopped before he finished speaking and did not say the next words.
Yun Zhen rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "Mr. Hao, you might as well give it a try. Maybe you can become a guest of a certain lady."
Hao Ren sneered, "I was your guest last time and I can't stand up now."
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Yun Zhen's face turned red, and he whispered with a guilty conscience, "We didn't know each other before. You two first-class warriors suddenly appeared in Shicheng. Naturally, I have to find a way to capture you."
"Forget it, it's all over..."
Hao Ren shook his head and said.
At this time, a huge painting boat passed by on the river, and there was a flag embroidered with gold thread on it, "Luo".
"This is the Luo family. Could it be that the eldest lady inside is the Luo family?"
Yunzhen's eyes flashed and he spoke in surprise.
"Luo family?"
Hao Ren looked at Yunzhen with some confusion.
He didn't know much about these big families in Dongli.
"The Luo family is the largest family in the Dongli Kingdom. The younger sister of the current head of the Luo family is the queen of the head of the Dongli Kingdom. The head of the Luo family is the general of the Dongli Kingdom, commanding 200,000 soldiers and horses, and is even half a step ahead.
Grandmaster."
Yunzhen whispered, "In the country of Dongli, the power of the Luo family is second only to the royal family. The White Lotus Sect once wanted to send people to kill the head of the Luo family, but he was always in the capital and was in the army when he went out.
With an army of hundreds of thousands surrounding them, it is impossible for a grandmaster to break through forcefully. Although a grandmaster is very strong, he can at best be in the midst of tens of thousands of troops. With an army of more than 50,000, a mere pile of them can kill a grandmaster."
"The Luo family has three descendants. The eldest son and the second son are both fighting in various places and are considered famous generals. The third son is Luo Lan, who has always been favored by the head of the Luo family. Even the head of the Dongli Kingdom personally gave each other a county.
The identity of the Lord indicates grace.”
"In Dongli's country, I don't know how many young talents want to get this person's hand and become the Luo family's son-in-law, and they will rise to prominence from then on."
As he was talking, the shore was already boiling. Countless young talents were looking at the boat with great enthusiasm, and some even shouted each other's names on the shore.
At this time, a maid walked out of the boat, came to the bow, looked at the people on the shore, and chuckled, "My lady came up with a couplet some time ago, but it only has the first couplet. If any of you can think of it,
Those who write the lower couplet and make it correct and neat can come up and have a drink with my lady."
