Chapter 306

During the Lantern Festival, the colorful lanterns make people dazzled.

And what is more eye-catching than the lanterns is naturally the beauty.

Gu Xixi is wearing a red dress and jacket today.

Wang Shuanghua combed her a double bun, she looked really pretty and lovely.

On the other hand, Shen Zining, she was dressed in a dignified way, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

"I don't have children to hinder me today, so I have to have a good time with you, Xiya."

Even though Shen Zining is a new mother, in reality she is still a girl at heart.

It was rare that she could persuade Fang Kaiji to go out and visit the lantern festival with Gu Xixi by herself.

Don't play with it open.

The woman was rejected by the stall owner, and she immediately looked at Shen Zining and Gu Xixi.

It was only half a street away, and the oil cakes, candied haws, small sugar figurines, and fried Lantern Festival in the hands of the two of them could not be eaten or taken down.

Let alone the fact that it was the Lantern Festival, Shen Zining would not let it go just because Xiya guessed the answer and helped her win back the lantern.

Isn't it just playing moral kidnapping!Who can't.

"In the past, Miss Shen's family was very famous, but now it seems that she is the one who climbs up to Fang's family."

However, Shen Zining became interested in lanterns again.

Is there anything good that I haven't seen?
The scholars in Yanzhou City are daughters from Ningshe's rich family, and it is hard to find a daughter from Shen's family.

"If you really can't guess correctly, you can go there and choose the lanterns for sale."

Besides, Shen Zining is the jewel in the palm of Old Master Shen, who grew up in the capital since he was a child.

"The daughter that Old Master Shen taught is so arrogant and unreasonable."

"Coincidental." Gu Xixi said suddenly.

It's the eldest lady of the Luo family, Luo Qingqing, Luo Yunjie's younger sister.

"The girl is really smart. The answer to this riddle is the word 'clever'."

He is pulling Gu Xixi to guess the riddle and win the lantern.

But what they met was Shen Zining who was not moved by money.

"The answer to this riddle is too difficult." Shen Zining sighed angrily.

But he saw another hand stretched out from the side.

Immediately, someone recognized that she was the little lady who showed her talents at the recreation meeting.

"Isn't it just a lantern, so what's the matter with Miss Luo?"

Shen Zining was even more disdainful, as expected of being the daughter of the concubine, this method was beyond the reach of others.

She is shiny and fair, and belongs to a woman.

However, after thinking about it again and again, Luo Qingqing still politely opened her mouth to Shen Zining.

The stall owner was closer to the two of them, and seeing the extraordinary bearing of the two of them, he couldn't help but pay more attention to them.

What she meant was to give up the lantern to Shen Zining.

Hearing this, the stall owner became anxious.

The Fang family's financial strength in Yanzhou City is second only to the Luo family.

What makes Gu Xixi curious is, what is the background of this girl named Yuan Jie?
How could a domineering young lady like Luo Qingqing coax her.

"Miss Luo and her friends are pitiful, so if I reluctantly give up, wouldn't I be pitiful?"

"That rabbit lantern is the most beautiful, but the puzzle on it doesn't look simple."

This woman looked thirteen, four or five, and Gu Xixi had never seen it in Yanzhou City before.

"I'm looking at this lantern, it's the only one!"

"It's the answer to the riddle you guessed, right?"

It's really not bad for those few silver coins.

While talking, the stall owner had already taken off the lantern and handed it to Gu Xixi and Shen Zining.

Shen Zining's complexion gradually turned cold.

"Yuan Jie, forget it, if you like it, I'll find a similar one for you later."

Even if Gu Xixi didn't face Luo Qingqing face to face, she could still feel the strong smell of tea from her body.

He also knew that there was only one jade rabbit lantern.

"Let's make a price." The woman said arrogantly.

Gu Xixi looked at Shen Zining, "Don't Miss Zining like this lantern?"

Hearing Gu Xixi tell the answer at this moment, she immediately praised her repeatedly.

She pulled the arrogant woman who was walking with her, and whispered:

The Luo family is the richest man in Yanzhou City.

"It's good to cut off the rotten wood and process it. What's the word for it?"

Yanzhou City has always been full of literati, so I heard Shen Zining say so.

Instead, the woman followed, and Gu Xixi knew the one holding her arm.

"Girl, the rule is to guess the answer and send a lantern."

"Mrs. Fang, my friend really likes this lantern, can you please bear the pain and give it to her? It doesn't matter how much money you pay."

Judging from these two simple sentences, this girl must be a spoiled master at home.

Shen Zining was a little embarrassed, but she and Gu Xixi were already close friends in the boudoir, so there was no need to be polite.

Luo Qingqing knew that Shen Zining was not short of money, so her words were just being polite.

"We've taken a fancy to this lantern, let's make a price."

Just when Luo Qingqing was complacent and thought that she would not be able to hold on to handing over the lantern, she heard Shen Zining say in a cold voice:

"Since Mrs. Gu gave this lantern to Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen is naturally not willing to transfer it to someone else. Ms. Luo should not force her to do so."

Luo Qingqing was full of embarrassment and grievance, "Sister Zining, my friend is not from the Central Plains, she rarely sees the Lantern Festival, so she only looks at this lantern, please."

"The other ones are exactly the same, so they don't count."

Luo Qingqing also recognized Shen Zining and Gu Xixi.

She was just about to take over the Jade Rabbit Lantern.

"This is my sister Xiya who guessed the puzzle correctly and is going to give it to my son Lin'er. Miss Luo really wants to compete with the one-year-old for the lantern?"

"If Miss Luo wants this lantern, why can't she guess the riddle by herself?"

Say anything, and it's extremely ugly.

"If not, it would have been guessed away."

Some people around couldn't help it, and started talking about it.

Luo Qingqing's face became more and more embarrassing, and it could be seen that neither Yuan Jie nor Shen Zining wanted to offend them.

The stall owner is also a person who has studied for several years, and he appreciates literati most.

The woman was rude and unreasonable.

However, the rule of winning lanterns by guessing riddles based on strength cannot be broken.

Many people looked at Gu Xixi again.

"I just said, that lantern riddle is so difficult, who would guess it? I didn't expect it to be Miss Gu."

The girl named Yuan Jie widened her eyes, "That's different."

If it was normal, Shen Zining might have given up the lantern according to Shen Zining's kind nature.

But today, the lantern has a different meaning.

Shen Zining didn't realize it for a moment, "Xiya, what did you just say?"

"Forgive me for not giving up love, Miss Luo should think of other ways." Shen Zining refused flatly.

"This lantern is yours now."

Shen Zining rose to the challenge, she couldn't wait to read out the riddle on the lantern, and began to think carefully.

"I don't know how many people want this Jade Rabbit Lantern, but unfortunately no one can guess the truth."

"As the saying goes, friendship is worth ten thousand gold."

Luo Qingqing's face was embarrassed, Yuan Jie at the side couldn't understand what those scholars were saying, but she also knew that they were blaming her and Luo Qingqing.

"I didn't expect you Central Plains people to be so stingy."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want this lantern, Qingqing, let's go."
