On the night of the Lantern Festival, the capital is brightly lit, the streets are full of lanterns, and pedestrians have a lantern in their hands, some bought or made by themselves.
Zhulan bought it in her hand, a lantern made of glass, and Zhou Shuren was a lantern made of paper, in the style of a lotus flower.
Zhulan muttered softly, "It's a pity that there is no camera. The scenery today is more beautiful than what you see on TV."
Zhou Shuren walked very slowly, he was wearing too much, and he took his wife to avoid pedestrians, "You can draw it."
"The project is too big."
"Draw slowly and not in a hurry."
Zhulan moved, "Okay, then I'll draw slowly."
There are too many pedestrians on the street, and they are not affected by the cold at all. There are not only lanterns everywhere on the street, but also a lot of snacks. The hottest ones are several glutinous rice dumpling stalls.
Zhulan, "Let's go to the lantern riddle competition?"
"Okay, you pull me some, don't get bumped."
With leather gloves on her hands, Zhu Lan tightly grasped Shuren's cloak, "I will grasp it."
Zhou Shuren regretted that if it weren't for people everywhere, it would be very comfortable for him to hold his daughter-in-law's hand. Although he thinks so, he feels good now, and the little old man is in a very good mood.
The place for the lantern riddle guessing competition was the most crowded. Zhou Shuren booked a box early. They were too old to go to the front.
The restaurant was crowded with people, and the two of them got into the box. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief, "This journey is really not easy."
There were people everywhere, and it was impossible to move an inch.
Zhou Shuren was sweating, "Yeah, there are too many people."
From time to time, there is a good sound from outside, and Zhulan motioned Qingxue to open the window and took the telescope in Qingxue's hand, um, she could see clearly, "Huh."
The Zhou family had several telescopes, one was bought by Shuren, and the rest were brought back by Changyi from abroad.
Zhou Shuren, "Let me see."
Zhulan handed over the telescope, "Look at it."
Zhou Shuren took it over to take a look and raised his brows, "Ming Hui and Wen Xiao from the third room of the Wen family guessed lantern riddles, and bet on the jade pendant."
This is not what Zhulan saw, "I saw Liu Yuanbo and Wen Rong, didn't you see it?"
Zhou Shuren looked around, "Yo, Liu Yuanbo is not bad, there are many people who support him, it can be seen that he is comparable to Wen Rong Qihu."
Zhulan was anxious, "Let me see."
Zhou Shuren handed it over, "A few children went out early, and they were all in front."
The competition venue for lantern riddle guessing has a large venue and a lot of divided small venues. As soon as the Zhou family and the Wen family met, the two met.
Shangguan Liu bumped into Ming Rui, "Aren't you worried about your future brother-in-law?"
Ming Rui hugged the heater, "This is guessing lantern riddles, not learning, so there's nothing to worry about."
If it was the imperial examination, he would be worried, but not now, Liu Yuanbo is stingy, and his knowledge is also good.
Shangguan Liu whispered: "I saw your father and your mother."
Ming Rui followed his gaze, and his parents did not know when they squeezed in front, watching the situation here.
Liu Yuanbo didn't know that his future father-in-law was looking at him. He was full of thoughts that he couldn't lose. This was not a matter of face, but a matter of money. It was a matter of money. His jade pendant was handed down from the Liu family and was worth a thousand taels. , losing will hurt him to death.
Not only can he not lose, but he has to win. Wen Rong's jade pendant is also good, and the jade pendant brought by the champion can be exchanged for a lot of money.
The situation on Minghui's side was overwhelmingly crushed. Minghui was a person who likes to ponder, and all kinds of strange problems emerged one after another, and he didn't want to show it in the academy.
Minghui smiled, "Wen Xiao, don't just stare at my little uncle in the future, I'll teach you a lesson today, and you will suffer if you underestimate anyone."
There was a fine sweat on Wen Xiao's forehead, and he lost. There were ten questions in total. Minghui had already guessed all the questions he asked, and Minghui had four questions that he didn't answer.
The two sides of the game attracted a lot of people, whoever loses loses face.
At this time, Yudie cheered, Liu Yuanbo grinned and looked at Yudie. He was lucky to win, and his ears were red again. The last one was given to him by Yudie during the Chinese New Year. This jade pendant is the two of them together. win.
Yu Yi was very surprised, I really didn't expect it.
Wen Rong smiled, "Young Master Liu is a great talent."
Liu Yuanbo returned the salute, "It's just a fluke, Young Master Wen is a great talent, and I learned a lot today."
Wen Rong nodded and left with the Wen family.
Liu Yuanbo took the jade pendant and walked towards the jade butterfly, but Mingrui stepped forward to block it, "Let me see the jade pendant you won."
Liu Yuanbo, "..."
Uncle, what is so annoying, can't you wait for him to show off?
At this time, the crowd burst into applause, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the stage. Before they knew it, only three people were left to compete on the stage.
Yu Yi's eyes are good, "Is the one above Yu Gongzi?"
Ming Rui, "He actually stayed."
Shangguan Liu smiled, "The above three people seem to be two adults with a child. Is this young master in his teens?"
Ming Rui, "It's fifteen, no, it's already sixteen."
Shangguan Liu, "...you didn't tease me?"
"There is no restaurant, Zhulan was happy when she saw the result, but in a blink of an eye Zhulan was unhappy again.
Zhou Shuren asked, "What's wrong?"
"I saw the little prince of the grassland tribe."
Years later, this little prince also came to the door, and she had seen it too.
Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, took the binoculars and looked angry, what does the little prince of the Russian Ministry mean?
Sisters Yudie and Yuyi were already standing behind Mingrui, while Mingrui and Liu Yuanbo stood in front of them.
The little prince of the Oge department smiled, "The little prince has no other intentions, just to see."
Changyi came over, "The little prince is in the mood to admire the lights, so it can be seen that the prince is in good health."
The little prince's words were interrupted, and his heart was full of displeasure. In the past, he killed several elder brothers, and finally became the heir, but after entering Beijing, no one in the capital family looked down on him, and the name of the little prince was empty. .
The little prince endured his anger and said with a smile, "Master Zhou is also here to admire the lanterns?"
"Yes, there is nothing important at the beginning of the year, and it is rare to have the opportunity to relax. I see that the little prince looks good, and it can be seen that the prince is no longer in serious trouble."
The little prince smiled dryly, "This prince rarely sees the Lantern Festival in the capital, so he came out to admire the lanterns. The father's body has not recovered, and he still needs a good rest."
Changyi smiled, "Really? I thought it was safe to enter Beijing. The emperor also asked the Ministry of Rites to ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to pay more attention to a few princes."
At this time, the little prince doesn't have any thoughts on the Zhou family girl. Lord Zhou never leaves his father and Wang, and takes a deep breath, "Little Wang has something to do, so I'll leave first."
Changyi, "The matter of the little prince is important. By the way, tomorrow I will definitely report it to Lord Shang Shu, so that I can ask the head of the hospital to show the prince. It's not a problem to be sick all the time."
