After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 70 Meeting Wen Yu on New Year's Eve

The woman's name was Murong Shu, and she was a peace princess sent by the enemy country that had ceased war with Damu. Meng Liangchu was in charge of escorting her to Damu's capital safely.

According to Meng Liangchu's plan, he could have arrived in the capital ten days ago, but the princess played all kinds of monsters on the way, dragging the time until the New Year's Eve.

The soldiers in the escort team dared not speak out. Fortunately, there was a general who could suppress the princess' temper. Otherwise, they might not be able to reach Beijing today.

Meng Liangchen talked to Meng De after dinner at night, then turned around and left the dining hall.

During this period, Meng Liangjing had been very quiet. Meng De looked at Meng Liangjing who was eating with his head down, and felt that this daughter seemed to be more silent than ever since Qin Shi led her to practice.

"Lantern Festival tonight, you can also go out with your sister."

Meng Liangjing was a little surprised by Meng De's sudden concern, a strangeness flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up again.

"Father, I want to accompany my bridesmaid later."

Since then, Qin Shi has been reciting Buddhist scriptures in his small room in the backyard. Meng De was in a daze. He almost forgot that there was such a person as Qin Shi in the house.

Meng De sighed, and said, "Go, it's Chinese New Year, and spend good time with your mother."

After Meng De finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving Meng Liangjing sitting there with a confused expression.

When Meng Liangchen walked to the street, the street was already very lively. From a distance, he could see crowds of people on the street, the lights were bright, accompanied by fireworks that shot up from nowhere from time to time, it was very lively.

It really looked more lively than during the May Festival and Qixi Festival.

Shihong and Shicui followed closely beside Meng Liangchen, always paying attention to Meng Liangchen's surroundings.

"You have to keep up with Miss today, or you will be squeezed out like last time." Xiao Shicui's expression was extremely serious.

After Meng Liangchen entered the crowd, he looked here and there, looking at juggling for a while, and looking at the stalls set up by small vendors, and found a lot of good things.

This is the fun of shopping!

She stood in front of the lantern stand and looked at the lantern riddle guessers. The ancient lantern riddles were really not easy to guess, they were all in ancient Chinese, and few people could guess them.

Meng Liangchen watched it with gusto, eager to try it.What a classic storyline that crosses the bridge of guessing lantern riddles and hanging the little brother like this!
"Girl, do you want to guess the lantern riddle? If you guess right, you will get a lantern!"

The peddler warmly greeted Meng Liangchen, and Meng Liangchen looked at it. There were many shapes of lanterns, all of them lifelike.
Especially the rabbit, goldfish and pumpkin lanterns are very delicate and beautiful.

It doesn't matter whether the little brother hangs it or not, the important thing is that she has taken a fancy to that rabbit lantern, and she must hang it down today!
She is gearing up: "Okay!"

After Shihong paid the money first, Meng Liangchen stood in front of one of the lanterns, and carefully read the calligraphy on it, which read: Stratus hidden to the moon.

Meng Liangchen thought for a while, and then gave the answer: "It's crumbs, the upper body is lower!"

The owner of the lantern riddle didn't expect her to guess it so quickly. He was very surprised, and pointed to another one and asked, "This guess is right. Miss, do you want to see this?"

Meng Liangchen got excited, and the words on the lantern read: The high platform corresponds to the moon.

Meng Liangchen quickly came up with the answer, clapped his hands together, and said, "I know this too, it's a short-lived epiphyllum!"

As soon as she guessed it, Xiao Shicui couldn't wait to ask the boss: "Boss, did our lady guess right?"

The boss scratched his head and replied, "That's right."

Xiao Shicui was very happy, and said: "Is it stipulated here that you will get a small one if you guess three lantern riddles correctly, and a big one if you guess five correct riddles, and if you guess ten lantern riddles correctly, you can choose randomly? The boss wants to talk count!"

Meng Liangchen guessed correctly several times in a row, and Xiao Shicui already held two lanterns, one big and one small, but Meng Liangchen was going for that rabbit, so he didn't stop.

Seeing that it was the tenth lantern riddle, the boss's forehead was sweating a little in winter.

This girl is really amazing, the three top lamps are his signboard, they are displayed to attract business, and no one has ever taken them away.

The boss finally found the most difficult lantern riddle, which read: Throwing stones to break the water, less swimming will lead to wonderful connections.

Meng Liangchen was taken aback, this really stumped her, no matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn't come up with an answer.

After this incident, many people gathered around to watch the excitement. Seeing this lantern riddle, they all started to guess, but no one guessed correctly.

Only then did a relaxed smile appear on the boss's face. He thought he was about to be smashed by a young girl today.

"Miss, if you don't guess correctly, I can't give you the top lantern."

Meng Liangchen frowned. When she was reading novels, it was easy for the heroine to guess lantern riddles. Why did she get stuck here?She is trying to embarrass the crossing team!
"It's the word for mother-in-law, mother-in-law's mother-in-law, up and down girl, boss, right?"

A familiar voice came from behind Meng Liangchen, Meng Liangchen turned around unexpectedly, and saw Wen Yuzheng with a folding fan behind her smiling.

Under the lights, Wen Yu has an outstanding appearance, with a gentle smile on his jade-like face, a tall and straight figure, and a dignified gentleman.

The boss's face collapsed, he nodded, and said a little frustrated: "That's right."

Meng Liangchen smiled at Wen Yu, and praised: "Amazing!"

Xiao Shicui jumped up excitedly, pointed to the lantern hanging on the top and shouted: "Boss, we guessed right, I want your rabbit lantern on the top!"

The boss had no choice but to take off the top rabbit lantern with a pole and hand it to Meng Liangchen.

Meng Liangchen took the lantern and said to Shihong, "Shihong, give me the money."

Shihong understood what Meng Liangchen meant, reached out and took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the boss, who took it flattered.

"This?"

Meng Liangchen said: "I didn't guess the last lantern riddle, so it doesn't count, so it's considered that I bought this lantern with money."

Only then did the boss show a smile on his face, holding the money and thanking Meng Liangchen repeatedly.

A few people left the lantern riddle guessing stall and continued walking, Wen Yu was walking beside Meng Liangchen.

"I didn't expect you to guess so many correctly?"

Meng Liangchen handed the lantern in his hand to Shihong, and said, "Some of them are very simple. If it wasn't for you, I still wouldn't be able to guess the last one."

With her hands behind her back, Wen Yu remembered something she heard a few days ago.

"I heard that you held some kind of annual party in the restaurant?"

He had never heard of such a thing, nor had he seen it, and he was very surprised.He happened to pass by on the day Meng Liangchen held the annual meeting, and it was very lively inside, but he didn't receive Meng Liangchen's invitation, so he didn't go in to see it.
