Chapter 136 Guessing the Riddle (1)
Although it was night, the streets of the royal capital were very lively today, and the teahouses and restaurants were all lit with candles and lights, as bright as day.
Various shapes of lanterns are placed on the stalls of the hawkers, some of which are painted with 12 zodiac signs, some are painted with various flower branches, some are pavilions and pavilions, and there are pretty peerless beauties. Clap your hands.
There are also those who walk on stilts, dance lions, play dragon lanterns, and breathe fire... people can't handle it.
The girls in Nangong Mansion rarely leave the mansion, and they have long been dazzled.
Along the way, Nangong Yue was the busiest one, but she promised her brother that she would bring delicious food and fun to him. Therefore, when Nangong Yue saw a good-looking snack, she immediately sent Yimei to buy it; when she saw the delicate gadgets from the street stall, she also sent Queer to buy it without hesitation.
They stopped and walked all the way, until everyone came to the gate of Wangdu's famous Shenghua Salou.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. Naturally, many gorgeous and unique lanterns are hung at the entrance of Shenghua Restaurant and under the eaves on the second floor. In front of the restaurant, the gates are crowded with people.
Nangong Sheng was very curious, and hurriedly asked the servant to come forward to inquire about the situation.
After a while, the servant reported back and forth: "Young Master, Shenghua Restaurant is going to hold a guessing contest soon, saying that if anyone can win the final guessing championship, they will get the painting of the talented girl Viola."
Viola is one of the famous talented women in the previous dynasty, her calligraphy and painting can be called a must, many scholars and writers in the previous dynasty admired her, but this Viola only fell in love with Prime Minister Liu of the previous dynasty.
It is rumored that Prime Minister Liu of the previous dynasty was amazing, and he was already the Prime Minister at a young age. Prime Minister Liu was usually not good at women, but he was only involved with Viola. At that time, the story of the two of them was widely known, and everyone knew it, but just when the world thought that the pair would hold hands for a hundred years, the Jinlan family was beheaded by the whole family, and the person who executed the beheading was Liu Liu. Prime Minister.
Finally, it is said that Prime Minister Liu never married and died when the dynasty changed.
And the truth of the love-hate relationship between Viola and Prime Minister Liu is unknown as the dynasties change and time passes...
What remains, only the world sighs the infatuation of Viola, but the entrustment is inhuman!
Nangong Yue suddenly remembered that her mother, Lin Shi, liked Jinylan very much, and even collected several of her calligraphy and paintings, and took them out to enjoy them from time to time. If I can get the Viola painting, my mother will be very happy.
"Sister Yue, do you want to participate?" Nangong Tsang has always been observant, how could she not find out Nangong Yue's performance is so obvious.
Nangong Yue nodded and said, "Yes, big sister, I want to try it."
Hearing that Nangong Yue wanted to participate in the guessing competition, Su Jingping, Nangong Yan and Nangong Lin couldn't help but be moved.
Nangong Chen frowned in embarrassment. In her understanding, she felt that as a lady, she really shouldn't show her face in such a situation. But the sisters were all in high spirits, and she didn't want to be a bad person by splashing cold water.
Nangong Sheng also felt that something was wrong, but thinking that it was rare for the sisters to leave the house once, so they refused their request, it was really unbearable.
At this moment, a boy in white wearing a pig's head mask hurried past them.
Nangong Sheng's eyes stayed on the other side for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he suggested, "Cousin Ping, and a few younger sisters, if you also want to go to the competition, why don't you all put on a mask and go."
The girls also thought that this idea was very elegant and fit the situation of the lantern festival, so they were all interested, and they quickly found a stall selling masks, and each chose a mask.
