Chapter 115: The Past 1
Ling Jinzhi still remembered that in that year, he met a woman that he would never forget in his life.

It was a night of lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he ran to the street excitedly alone.This was the only day he was free to leave the mansion in the past year in the Duke Protector's Mansion.

That year, since his mother brought him and his younger sister to move into the Duke Protector's Mansion, he and his younger sister had completely lost their freedom, and the smile on their mother's face had also disappeared since then.

And because he and his sister had no status, they were restricted from going out by the old lady, who was the Duke's wife at the time.Even if he and his sister go out, they cannot be said to be the father's children.Of course, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, Mrs. Guo directly restricted their going out.Throughout the year, the two of them, brother and sister, can only go out on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Yes, when he was here, the number of times he went out could be counted on the fingers.Therefore, he was extremely excited to be able to go out.

The first thing he had to do was to go to those shops with lantern riddles to watch the excitement, and by the way, he could use the money from guessing lantern riddles to buy some small gifts for his sister to make her happy.

He wandered around for a long time before he fell in love with the lantern of a little rabbit with long ears standing upright.

"Half moon and new moon hanging on the branch, guess a word!" Ling Jinzhi walked to one of the lanterns and gently read the lantern riddles on it.

"Ji, it's the word Ji!" A crisp voice sounded from behind Ling Jinzhi.

Ling Jinzhi turned around, and saw a luxurious young man standing behind him with a smile on his face and shouting loudly.

At this time, although he was a little dissatisfied with some young masters who were taking the lead.After all, was he the one who saw the lantern riddle first?But no matter what, this lantern riddle is for everyone to guess, and whoever guesses it first will be the one.

Ling Jinzhi had no choice but to walk towards the next goal. He saw a naive little pig lantern.

"Princess is born, please speak politely." Ling Jinzhi was about to speak when he heard the little boy shout again: "Your surname!"

Now even Ling Jinzhi, who has always been very good-tempered, couldn't bear it anymore.He raised his eyebrows, looked at the noble young master with great displeasure and said: "Dare to ask, my lord, there are so many lanterns in this shop, why is the lantern that Du Duxiang likes?"

The young master glanced at the sullen Ling Jinzhi, raised his brows and said, "I've always been very strange. I look like an imposing seven-foot man. Why are all the gadgets that girls like in the photo?" Woolen cloth?"

Ling Jinzhi's face turned red. He looked at the young master and said, "I chose these lanterns for my sister. She can't go out this year because of the cold. I just want to win some lanterns." , go back and make her happy."

"Oh! So that's the case! That's being rude." The young master looked at Ling Jinzhi with some embarrassment and said.

"No way! Everyone can guess these lanterns, and it's difficult for me to force others." Ling Jinzhi said politely to the young master.

The noble young master sized up Ling Jinzhi with great interest, then looked at Ling Jinzhi with shining eyes and said, "I think that someone who is handsome, elegant and elegant must also be a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. Or, We played a game between us."

"What game?" Ling Jin asked looking at the young master with a puzzled face.

The little boy opened the folding fan and fanned it twice, thinking he was cool.As everyone knows, in this severe cold weather, fanning a fan really doesn't show any elegance, it just makes people feel a little arty!

After showing off, the little boy closed his fan and said in a hearty tone: "This game is very simple. Let's start here and see who can guess ten crossword puzzles in one go. The one who takes the shortest time wins. Of course , we also have a lottery. I take this jade pendant as a lottery, what do you think?" The little boy took off a jade pendant of good quality from his body without hesitation and put it in front of Ling Jinzhi .

Ling Jinzhi glanced at the cheerful young master with some embarrassment, and said falteringly: "I came out in a hurry today, and I don't have anything valuable on me. So, I..." Although he is the Duke of the Protector The third young master of the mansion, but he has almost nothing valuable on him.

Even on weekdays, he and his sister have no other rewards other than the daily monthly allowance of silver.And his monthly bill is almost depleted except for daily expenses.

"It doesn't matter. It's not about the value of things, it's about sincerity. You just need to take out what you think is valuable." After the young master interrupted Ling Jinzhi's words, he looked at Ling Jinzhi calmly. Said.

This is what the young master said, if Ling Jinzhi refuses again, it will be hypocritical.So, after thinking about it, he hesitantly took off the purse hanging from his waist.That purse was once made by his mother for him, and he has been carrying that purse all these years.

The people around the young master looked at the purse that Ling Jin handed over with disdain.Even the little boy was stunned.But when she saw the solemnity and reluctance on Ling Jinzhi's face, she understood that this purse should be a very important thing to the young man in front of her.

"Okay, let's start!" The young master said heartily when he took Ling Jinzhi's purse with both hands.

Ling Jinzhi nodded calmly.

The result came out soon, and Ling Jinzhi had already guessed all ten crossword puzzles by the time the young master guessed the sixth crossword puzzle.

To be honest, these anagrams are not under his words at all.It's just that facing such a fourteen or five-year-old boy, he always felt that he was invincible.

"I lost!" The young master looked at Ling Jinzhi with a dejected expression and said.Afterwards, he pointed to the lanterns they had guessed and the jade pendants and purses on the table and said, "These are all yours."

Ling Jinzhi looked at the shop owner's extremely distressed expression and shook his head, "I only need these two things."

Ling Jinzhi pointed to the little bunny and piggy lanterns that the young master had guessed correctly, and then picked up his purse from the table, turned around and was about to leave.

"Master, go slowly!" The little master stopped in front of Ling Jinzhi with a stride.

Ling Jinzhi frowned and looked at the young master standing in front of him and said displeasedly: "I don't know what else you can teach me!"

"Is there any advice, but I found that the young master is very talented. But why have I never heard of the young master's name? Can you tell me?" The young master looked at Ling Jinzhi with interest and asked.

"The world is so big, and talented people can be found everywhere. I am a nobody, so I am not worthy of my son's concern!" Ling Jinzhi politely refused.

"No! You have to tell me your name and family background today, otherwise, you don't want to go out of this door!" The little boy said, looking at Ling Jinzhi with a domineering expression.When he finished speaking, the two burly men beside him stopped at the door of the store very rudely.

Ling Jinzhi looked at the young master with a somewhat impatient smile and said, "I have heard of bullies who bully men and women, but I have never heard of a bully like you who insists on stopping others from asking for their names?"

"Bully! Do I look like me? Have any of you ever seen a bully like me!" the little boy asked with a big smile on his face.

"Haha..." There were bursts of teasing laughter from the surrounding crowd.

The young master looked at Ling Jinzhi very aggrieved and said, "I just wanted to ask you for your name, but you actually gave them the name of a bully. Your hat is too big!"

The young master looked at Ling Jinzhi with rolling eyes and said, her face was full of the shyness and naivety of a daughter.

Ling Jinzhi also felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he cupped his fists at the young master and said, "I'm taking the liberty. But I do have unavoidable difficulties, and I hope you will forgive me!" Ling Jinzhi spoke deeply to the young master. Give a gift.

He really couldn't tell the young master his identity.Now, although he is the third son of the protector of the country in name, in fact his name is not listed in the Ling family's genealogy.Moreover, he had promised Mrs. Protector that he would never disclose his identity outside.
