Chapter 207 Warming Wine and Guessing Lantern Riddles

As Zhengdan approached, Cheng Zhi, the youngest of the Cheng family, returned with his wife Sang Shunhua, and Cheng Shaoshang's second brother Cheng Song and twin brother Cheng Shaogong came back with them.

This is the first time for Cheng Shaoshang to see his third uncle and third aunt. He only thinks that his third uncle is handsome and gentle. Although his third aunt's appearance is not outstanding, she is elegant and dignified, with an air of elegance in her gestures.

Before Cheng Shaoshang came forward to pay respects, Mrs. Cheng had already rushed over, pulling Cheng Zhi, who was a sweetheart, everyone was dumbfounded, this Cheng Zhi was at least in his thirties, and was messed up by his mother in public Like a child, it is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing.

The corners of Xiao Yuanyi's mouth twitched. Madam Cheng's eccentricity has reached the point where she can't hide it. It is clear that the glory of the entire Cheng family was won by her and Cheng Shi's life-and-death fight on the battlefield. of a finger.

Sang Shunhua seemed to be aware of Xiao Yuanyi's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to go forward and salute: "Sunhua has seen Si Fu."

Xiao Yuanyi still had a good impression of this younger sibling, and said with a smile: "Your wife, you don't need to be too polite."

Then he said to Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong, "Did you cause trouble to your second aunt along the way?"

Before the two brothers could speak, Sang Shunhua praised: "It was windy and snowy all the way, thanks to their brothers, we arrived safely."

Xiao Yuanyi nodded in satisfaction, and then introduced Cheng Heng to Sang Shunhua.

Cheng Shaoshang, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel a little depressed watching this scene, feeling that they were a family, and she seemed like an outsider in this happy atmosphere.

Just when Cheng Shaoshang was distracted, Xiao Yuanyi asked her to come over to see her. Cheng Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, and walked in front of Sang Shunhua: "I met my third aunt."

Sang Shunhua saw that she was beautiful, especially her brows and eyes were full of aura, which was completely different from the girls from famous noble families she usually met, so she found it very interesting.

"You are curling, you are really talented, no wonder your two elder brothers keep praising you."

Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong looked at each other with a smile, with an expression of: We are interesting, Cheng Shaoshang had been with them for a few years before, and he had known them for a long time, and made an "OK" gesture to them.

Xiao Yuanyi looked puzzled, and slapped Cheng Shaoshang with a straight face: "How can you make trouble in front of the elders!"

Cheng Shaoshang's face collapsed, and Sang Shunhua smiled to smooth things over: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so restrained. Besides, it is rare to be near Zhengdan. The children have been disciplined for a year, and it is time to relax."

Xiao Yuanyi glared at the three brothers and sisters: "I'm afraid of them, they are playing wild, and I can't get back my heart."

Cheng Shaoshang secretly slandered, this seems to be said to three people, but in fact it was said to her alone.

Seeing this, the Cheng Song brothers quietly said to Cheng Shao: "I brought you a gift this time, I'm sure you like it."

"That's right, let's go." Cheng Shaoshang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pull his two brothers into the house.

In the front hall, Mrs. Cheng was still booing and inquiring about her elder brother Cheng Zhi. In Cheng Shaoshang's room, Cheng Song and his brothers placed the presents they brought to their sister.

"Sister, why is your room so shabby?" Cheng Song frowned slightly. He just heard Cheng Shaoshang said that he was bullied by Ge Shi at home. At first, he thought that Cheng Shaoshang was exaggerating when he was young. It's really wronged.

What made them even more puzzled was how could they wrong their sister so much after their father had come back as a marquis.

Cheng Shaoshang fiddled with the presents from his two elder brothers, and nuzzled, "Is it shabby? It's okay, I'm used to it."

As a twin brother, Cheng Shaogong couldn't stand it any longer: "Sister, your desk is too small and shabby, so it must be tiring to write, right? Eldest brother has an unused desk, and my second brother and I can't use it, so return it to me." Hello."

"Then thank you brother." Cheng Shaoshang was also happy to accept his brother's care.

Lianfang was ordered to take a few rough envoys to carry the book case, but was stopped by Cheng Heng's personal servant girl Changpu and Fu's mother on the way.

Calamus forcibly seized the book case and refused to hand it over to Lianfang, causing the two parties to quarrel.Mother Fu deliberately led Xiao Yuanyi here to let her see the farce. Calamus took the opportunity to pretend to faint, and Xiao Yuanyi was so angry that she ordered Lianfang and the others to be arrested.

Mrs. Fu first complained that Cheng Shaoshang was afraid of the strong and bullied the weak, arrogant and domineering, and indulged in snatching Cheng Heng's books.

Xiao Yuanyi divorced the Ge family, and how much he defended Cheng Heng who had no parents by his side. Hearing this, he was furious and asked someone to call Cheng Shaoshang's three brothers and sisters to the front hall for accountability.

When confronted with Xiao Yuanyi's questioning, Cheng Shaogong repeatedly emphasized that he gave it to his sister, and the book case still had four square unicorn heads engraved on it, which can prove that what he said was true.Mother Fu saw that the situation was wrong, and before Cheng Shaoshang could defend himself, she insisted that Lian Fang was deliberately carrying the book case to show off to Cheng Heng, the purpose of which was to show that Cheng Shaoshang had two older brothers to protect him.

After the farce, although Cheng Shaoshang's innocence was confirmed, Xiao Yuanyi's attitude made Cheng Shaoshang feel deeply sad, and he couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile.

Xiao Yuanyi seemed to have been punctured, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at? You brothers and sisters are supposed to love each other, but now you are in such a mess, do you think it's ridiculous?"

Cheng Shaoshang raised his head, and met Xiao Yuanyi's gaze unabashedly: "Mother, don't you think it's funny? It's obvious that they are instigating right and wrong, and instead of holding them accountable, mother finds our faults and acts with fairness." How can I be convinced by an eccentric act?"

Xiao Yuanyi was furious, and slapped the table: "How dare you disobey?"

Sang Shunhua couldn't stand it anymore: "Why does Si Fu say such a heavy word?"

In the Han Dynasty, filial piety was the basic moral bottom line of being a person, and it was also the standard criterion for judging a person. Disobedience was no joke. If a child disobeyed, parents could sue the yamen or even the emperor.

Mrs. Cheng often threatened Cheng Shi to sue him for disobedience. In fact, this old lady only knew that disobedience could be reported, but she didn't know that once an official was accused of disobedience, he would be dismissed from his position and banned from employment for life. Sentenced to be assassinated and exiled.

If a woman is charged with disobedience, she will basically be ruined for the rest of her life. It is no wonder that Sang Shunhua felt that Xiao Yuanyi was too much just after seeing Cheng Shaoshang.

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Xiao Yuanyi also realized that she had spoken too harshly, but a good word would warm three winters, and a bad word hurt June cold, Cheng Shaoshang no longer had the patience to argue with her, and stood up straight away.

"Since mother thinks that sister-in-law is so kind, I, a disobedient and unfilial daughter, won't bother you to teach me in the future!"

Xiao Yuanyi's fingers trembled, "Stop!"

Cheng Shaoshang paused, turned around and said with a sneer, "Do you still want to beat me up before giving up?"

Seeing this, Sang Shunhua hurriedly pulled Cheng Shaoshang away. After leaving the front hall, Sang Shunhua patted Cheng Shaoshang's hand and sighed.

"You mother and daughter are really carved out of the same mold. Both of you are so strong, neither of you is willing to give in."

Cheng Shaoshang was grateful for Sang Shunhua's protection, took a deep breath and said to her: "If I have a daughter in her day, I will definitely not leave her behind and let her fend for herself."

Seeing her serious face, Sang Shunhua couldn't help poking her on the forehead with a smile: "Nonsense, no unmarried girl would say such a thing, and I'm not afraid that others will hear the joke."

Only then did Cheng Shaoshang come to his senses, and he glanced around guiltily, seeing that no outsiders were there, he was relieved, but he didn't look shy at all.

Sang Shunhua couldn't help being funny, this girl is really funny.

In the Zhengdan season, the happy time always passes quickly, and before you know it, it is the Lantern Festival, and it is also a rare peaceful time, when there is no war in the neighborhood, so the curfew in the capital is postponed for two hours, and the people can walk out of the house calmly. The streets became extremely lively.

On this day, the Cheng family also went out to play. The happiest ones were of course Cheng Shaoshang's three brothers and sisters. After being confined at home for so many days, they were finally able to come out to get some air.

Cheng Shaoshang looked extra bright in the fox fur red dress presented by Sang Shunhua.

It's just that on the way, Cheng Shaoshang saw Xiao Yuanyi helping Cheng Heng choose gestures, with an intimate look, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace.

Lanterns of various colors were hung in the buildings on both sides of the street, and riddles were pasted on each lantern. Cheng Shaoshang was dazzled by the sights, but he just watched. These puzzles were too childish for her.

All the way to a restaurant, there were lights of various colors hanging on them, and lantern riddles were pasted on them, and there was a group of people watching downstairs, which attracted Cheng Shaoshang to stop.

When Cheng Shaoshang was curious, he heard some people talking about it.

"This puzzle seems to be much more difficult than last year."

"That's natural. These puzzles are all given by the second son of the Qin family and Yuan Shanjian."

"Oh? But that Mochou has no confidant in the future, and the second son of Qin who doesn't know the king?"

"That's natural."

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Hao's name, and then he heard the words from the people beside him.

"If you can answer more than five of these puzzles today, you can go up to the third floor to have a drink at the same table with Mr. Qin and Mr. Yuan. That's why we have attracted so many talented men and beauties."

Cheng Shaoshang looked around and found that the people who came were indeed young men and women, among which women accounted for the vast majority, and some young girls even looked affectionately.

The reason why Qin Hao organized such an event was, on the one hand, to make Yuan Shanjian famous;

Just when Cheng Shaoshang was about to go to the restaurant to find Qin Hao, he was bumped by a woman. The woman was full of arrogance, and she ignored Cheng Shaoshang at all, but said to the male companion beside her.

"Lou Yao, I forgive you if you guess five lantern riddles for me."

Lou Yao looked at the wall covered with lanterns and scratched his head for a moment: "The lantern riddles here are quite difficult, I'm afraid I can only guess one or two, and what are you going to do with five? The Second Young Master Qin is drinking with Young Master Yuan at the same table? Don't forget that you and I have a marriage contract."

He Zhaojun glanced at him disdainfully: "If you can't answer it, you think you have little knowledge. I will find someone else to answer it for me. If you are so useless, what qualifications do you have to be my husband-in-law?"

"You..." Lou Yao's face turned blue and red, but he could only look away.

Cheng Shaoshang was not happy when he was bumped just now, seeing that this woman is so domineering, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but sneered.

"It's an elegant thing to say that other people's knowledge is shallow, but you don't know how many questions you can answer. Today, Mr. Qin set up a lantern riddle invitation.

When Lou Yao heard the words, Cheng Shaoshang clapped his hands and said, "This young lady is right. The guessing invitation is to invite like-minded people to sit down and talk about it. Why should you meddle in it?"

He Zhaojun was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, when has he ever been so angry, he gave Lou Yao a hard look, then glared at Cheng Shaoshang and scolded: "I am talking to my future husband-in-law, when will it be your turn to intervene!"

In terms of sharp teeth, Cheng Shaoshang has never lost to anyone, and he retorted with a very innocent look: "But I just heard someone say that if you can't answer five questions, you are not worthy of being her husband."

Then he said to Lou Yao: "You have to be careful with such a bride."

He Zhaojun was so angry that his face was flushed, and he was about to "break his head" with Cheng Shaoshang face to face, but he saw the shopkeeper of the restaurant come up to him and bowed his hands at Cheng Shaoshang.

"Miss Cheng Si, my son, please go upstairs and tell me."

Before Cheng Shaoshang had time to raise his head, he heard commotion around him. The little girls downstairs were all looking up, but saw that the window on the third floor near the street was pushed open. Qin Hao had walked to the window at some point, his face The smile on the face seems to melt all the snow in early spring.

"Wow, this is the second son of Qin? He is really handsome and suave."

"Not only handsome, but also so talented, my God, he's smiling at me."

"Nonsense, you're obviously laughing at me."

When Cheng Shaoshang saw that long-lost face, he couldn't wait to go upstairs, but He Zhaojun grabbed him.

"Shopkeeper, just now you clearly had something to say, you need to answer five lantern riddles before you can go upstairs, why didn't she answer?"

Now the little girls onlookers also looked at Cheng Shaoshang with unkind eyes.

"Yes, why can she go upstairs, then I will go upstairs too."

"That's right, go together, go together."

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and if he didn't talk about the rules, just such a person would go upstairs, and he couldn't do business.

Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong also surrounded her at this time, seeing her sister being bullied, they hurried to her.

"Why do you little girl bully my sister!"

However, He Zhaojun was not afraid at all, instead he said disdainfully: "I am a little bitch who came here to play wild, so I am a martial artist, and I dare to embarrass myself here, I am afraid it is not a few who can't read Chinese characters! "

He Zhaojun was also from a family of military generals, and she immediately recognized Cheng Song's belt as worn by the Marquis Wu family. Her father was General He Yong. Naturally, he would not look down on other peers from the same general family.

Now Cheng Shaoshang couldn't bear it anymore, saying she could, but not her father, Cheng Shaoshang threw He Zhaojun's hand away and said coldly.

"The families of generals may not all be unlearned and incompetent like you!"

He Zhaojun glared at her and said angrily, "Hmph, it's useless to talk too much, unless you can answer five riddles, you don't even think about going upstairs."

Cheng Shaoshang said aggressively: "I have already been invited by the master's house, why can't I go upstairs? Could it be that you have the final say on this capital city?"

"You" He Zhaojun was also choked for a moment and couldn't speak.

However, Cheng Shaoshang changed the subject: "But since you are not convinced, then I will give you a chance. Let's make a bet. If I fail to guess the five questions, I will not go upstairs and apologize to you, but If I answered five questions correctly, how about you apologizing to my brother?"

Seeing her confident appearance, He Zhaojun felt a little guilty, but the little girl beside her started to boo.

"Bet her, don't let her go upstairs!"

"That's right, betting with her, I don't believe how much knowledge she has, and she can guess five puzzles."

Lou Yao at the side was in a dilemma, and didn't know which one to persuade.

He Zhaojun suddenly rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'll bet with you, but I need to specify the lantern riddles."

Cheng Shaogong said angrily when he heard the words: "The shopkeeper clearly only said that if you guess the five lantern riddles correctly, you can go upstairs. Why do you come to appoint it?"

He Zhaojun said domineeringly: "Hmph, if you really have real talents and practical learning, why should you be afraid? Who knows if she has seen some puzzles before."

"Okay, it's up to you to designate, but you all have to be a witness to me. If this Miss He is playing tricks, it needs to be known in the capital!" Cheng Shaoshang glanced at the lantern riddle on the wall, Turning around, he said to the young men and women who were watching.

Since ancient times, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement. Seeing such an exciting game of gambling immediately aroused everyone's response.

"Don't worry, little lady, we are all witnesses, and no one can escape."

"That's right, the two young ladies can bet against each other with peace of mind."

Such a commotion attracted many people, and the street at the entrance of the restaurant was blocked for a while.

Upstairs, Yuan Shen also saw Cheng Shaoshang in a red dress among the crowd. His impression of Cheng Shaoshang was still that of a little girl a few years ago. Now that she has grown into a charming little girl, I can't help being a little surprised.

"Aren't you going to rescue her?" Seeing that Qin Hao had no intention of going downstairs at all, Yuan Shen couldn't help asking curiously.

Qin Hao smiled lightly: "These lantern riddles can't help her."

"Is Zihan so confident in her?" Yuan Shen was a little unconvinced. If Cheng Shaoshang could answer Qin Hao's puzzles correctly, he thought it was normal. Qin Hao might have taught her, but his own puzzles were "Original", how could Cheng Shaoshang easily decipher it?

Qin Hao walked to the table, picked up the jug that was being heated, and said to Yuan Shen: "Before the wine cools, if she can answer five riddles, my cousin will give her the jade flute as a gift. , I will give you the folding fan, how about it?"

Yuan Shen has a jade flute in his hand, which has always been treasured like something. He usually only uses it for appreciation and is reluctant to play it. Apart from handicrafts, Cheng Shaoshang likes rhythm the most. Qin Hao has been playing this jade flute for a long time. idea.

"This..." Yuan Shen was a little hesitant for a moment, but Qin Hao's folding fan was really exquisite. The fan bones were made of ivory and high-quality suet jade. What made him even more excited was the landscape painting on the fan with the inscription.

"Thousands of mountains and birds flew extinct, and people disappeared in thousands of paths.

Boat PC World Weng, fishing alone trees and snow. "

Such an artistic conception is simply not a good match for him. What's more, in this weather, a pot of wine will go cold soon, so he doesn't believe that Cheng Shaoshang can answer the five puzzles while warming the wine.

"Okay, gentleman."

"It's hard to chase a horse!"
