Chapter 1231

Master Yuan untied the little rabbit flower, wrapped it into a roll and tied it with a thin straw rope of red paper, unfolded the red paper, and revealed a puzzle written in black ink.

"Where is the water without fish? Where is the mountain without rocks? Where is the son without a father? Where is the tree without branches? Where is the daughter without a husband? Where is the city without a city?" A scholar stood in front of a lantern and read out a lantern riddle.

After reading it, I was also surprised. This lantern riddle is too difficult! Who can guess it?

Everyone who heard the riddle raised their eyebrows.

Hearing this riddle, Shen Wan was absent-minded for a moment. She couldn't help but think of the Zhilan Yushu, who was as gentle as jade, like a banished immortal, and her heart couldn't help but feel prickly and regretful. This riddle came from the Lantern Festival night banquet in the palace that year. , the last lantern riddle she guessed with Murong Li, although she won, she always felt that Murong Li gave up to him. That was also the last Lantern Festival that Murong Li spent. She always felt that Murong Li was the one she saw. He was the most perfect man in life, but God is always jealous of perfect people and gave him a bad body, causing him to leave this world early.

Chen Die'er also frowned, what kind of lantern riddle is this? It's so difficult.

The scholar who did the puzzle that year looked at Master Yuan and said, "Who can answer such a difficult puzzle?"

Master Yuan smiled and said, "No one has ever solved such a difficult riddle."

He had a senior brother who was making lanterns in the palace. He went to the imperial city to visit his senior brother last year and heard his senior brother talk about the interesting story of the emperor hosting a banquet and guessing lantern riddles in the palace during the Lantern Festival the year before last. He then talked about this lantern riddle that was difficult to guess through the ages. And he also kept this wonderful lantern riddle and puzzle in his heart, and this time he used it to hang it under his best lantern.

"Who?" Chen Die'er asked.

Master Yuan said: "Ms. Shen Wan, the wife of the General Zhenguo."

When everyone heard Master Yuan talking about Shen Wan, a member of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, everyone fell silent immediately, with a look of regret on their faces. Although Jiangzhou and the Imperial City were thousands of miles apart, they had also heard of Mrs. Song's deeds. .At this time, there are not many women as smart, talented, and as broad-minded as she is. Unfortunately, jealous of talent, she and her youngest son both contracted serious diseases and died early.

Upon hearing that the person Master Yuan was talking about was his wife, Hui'er couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. Master Yuan didn't know that the person standing in front of him was Shen Wan, the wife of the general who answered the riddle.

The scholar raised his head and looked up at the starry sky at an angle of 45 degrees, and sighed: "It turns out it was Mrs. Song who answered the question. Mrs. Song is really a great talent. Yu admires her very much, but it's a pity that she has no chance to meet her in this life."

Huier wanted to tell this sour scholar that when you meet him, the person you admire is right in front of you.

"I can't guess such a difficult lantern riddle, and you certainly can't guess it either." Chen Die'er raised her chin and looked at Hui'er and Shen Wan.

"That's not necessarily true," Hui'er shook her head as she spoke, looking extremely proud of herself.

Seeing her confident look, others looked at her. She was just a maid from a wealthy family, so how could she guess this lantern riddle?

"There are no fish in the south, there are no mountains and no rocks, the man has no father, the tree has no branches, the maiden has no husband, the Buddha city has no city, and there is no Amitabha in the south!" Shen Wan directly read out the answer to the riddle in a light voice. .

Master Yuan looked at Shen Wan in surprise and said loudly: "That's right." This is the answer.

They actually let them guess it? Chen Dieer bit her lower lip unhappily.

"Can you give us this lantern now?" Shen Wan asked with a decent smile on her face, looking at Master Yuan.

"Yes, it's okay." Master Yuan hurriedly took down the lantern and handed it to Hui'er, who was nearest.

Huier took the lantern and thanked her. After all, the lantern cost nothing.

"Tutu," Xiao Zi'an grabbed Hui'er's hand.
