Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 199 Seven Puzzles
Huarui nodded and said, "Okay. The third girl of our family is really a child at heart. She hasn't grown up in the past 16 years."

"You will bully me!" Hua Lu bit her lip and stomped her feet.

Hua Xin and Hua Rui laughed one after another, took Hua Lu's hand, followed Feng Yao, Murong Xi'er and Doudou, and walked out.

Wuji and Dragonfly hide in the dark, protecting Doudou and Sanhua respectively.Even Xiaobai was brought out today, but he huddled around Doudou's neck and used it as a scarf for Doudou.

There were only two guards brought by Murong Xi'er in the house, who really acted as gatekeepers.

Originally, Feng Yao wanted to ask the two guards to follow, but Murong Xi'er said: "There are so many people, what's the use of them following?"

So Feng Yao secretly instructed Wu Ji, and also looked after Murong Xi'er.Naturally, the most important thing is Doudou, while ensuring that Doudou is safe, take care of Murong Xi'er for a while.

A group of people went out and went to the lively places in the city.

As soon as I went out, I saw the street was bustling. This is a secluded residential area, and it was already full of people.There are bright and lovely lanterns hanging under the eaves of every house, illuminating the road so brightly that there is not even a bit of silence in the night.

"There is a Lantern Festival on South Street. I inquired about it today. At night, there are opera singers and vendors selling many gadgets. It's very lively!" Hua Lu was afraid that Feng Yao would not know, so she hurriedly shouted.

"Let's go to South Street!" Feng Yao said.

A group of people went to South Street.There are more and more people on the street, and it is gradually difficult to move an inch.Doudou is small and cannot be squeezed, and was trampled on a few times. When he looked up, he saw a corner of his clothes moving, so he was not happy: "Mother, I want Uncle Wuji to carry me on his back."

Feng Yao felt her hands being shaken, so she lowered her head, and saw Doudou's small mouth opening and closing, as if she was talking, but she couldn't hear clearly.It was so lively that Feng Yao felt a headache, so she simply squatted down and put her ear to Doudou's mouth.

Doudou said: "Mother, please call Uncle Wuji over, I want to ride a big horse."

Only then did Feng Yao realize that Doudou is a small person, and her vision is not as wide as that of an adult. It is very inappropriate to walk in the crowd like this. She felt guilty, and quickly apologized: "Mother was negligent. Mother, this is a mistake." Call him." As he spoke, he stood up and called Wuji, "Wuji? Wuji? Come here!"

The streets are full of figures, Wuji just wants to be invisible, and there is no such condition.He didn't hide anywhere at the moment, he just stood in the shadow by the side of the road, when he heard Feng Yao call him, he squeezed over: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

He felt that the hem of his clothes was being pulled, so he lowered his eyes, and saw Doudou grabbing the hem of his clothes and tugging them.I heard Feng Yao say in my ear: "You carry Doudou on your back, come with us."

"Okay." Wuji stretched out his hand, but without seeing how he moved, Doudou flew up and sat on his neck.

Suddenly, the little guy was happy, with smiles on his brows and eyes.Because I have ridden once in the morning, the so-called first time is familiar with the second time, now the two calves are hanging on Wuji's neck, and the little hands are holding Wuji's head familiarly, and the little buttocks are twisted and twisted in excitement.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a shining lighthouse not far away and said, "Mother, it's so beautiful there, shall we go there?"

Feng Yao followed his direction and saw that it was a two-story building. I don't know where it was, but there were lanterns hanging on the four corners of the eaves and on the glazed tiles. There were various colors, and they flickered very beautifully. .

"Okay, let's go over there." Feng Yao took Murong Xi'er's hand and greeted San Hua behind her.

So, Wuji cleared the way with Doudou on his back, and the group began to walk towards the shining lighthouse with difficulty.On the way, I met many interesting gadgets.On one of the stalls, there were many exquisite and beautiful masks, all of which were made of wood, polished smooth and smooth, without sticking at all.

They are painted with lacquer, some are stained with animal feathers, some are stained with beautiful beads, and some are carved into tiger heads and little fox faces. They are small and delicate, and they are really cute.

Doudou and Hualu couldn't walk, they gathered around the small stall, picking this and that, reluctant to let go.Finally, Feng Yao laughed and said: "Choose one of them." Anyway, before going out, Feng Yao brought enough change.

So, Doudou and Hualu cheered one after another, each of them picked one and said, "I want this!"

The flower core and stamen also joined in the fun and picked one each, but Murong Xi'er curled her lips, but she didn't like it.

At this time, Huarui picked up a mask carved into the shape of a butterfly spreading its wings from the stall, and said to Fengyao, "Ma'am, this one suits you."

When Feng Yao saw it, she smiled and said, "It's really pretty." She thanked Hua Rui and took it.At this moment, only Murong Xi'er was gone, so Feng Yao persuaded her: "Xi'er, you can pick one and wear it, or someone will take advantage of you." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and motioned to her one time.

Murong Xi'er turned her head to look, and saw the young man from many years ago staring at her endlessly.Immediately a little annoyed, she reached out and grabbed a vicious tiger-head mask from the stall, and put it on her face: "I want this." Hmph, if you dare to look at her, you don't want to live anymore.

Feng Yao just smiled, and after asking the price, she took out the broken silver and handed it to the vendor at the stall, and then led a few people towards the shining lighthouse.

A group of people squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the beautiful lighthouse, and it was already two quarters of an hour later.When I arrived here, I found out that it was originally a tea shop, but it was very large in scale. In the lobby on the first floor, a troupe was invited to sing opera, and on the second floor there was a special private seat.

A few boys stood at the door, and said with a loud voice: "Today, tea is free, listening to opera is free, melons and fruits are all [-]% off. There is also a program of guessing lantern riddles. Anyone who guesses correctly will be given a lantern. Seven lanterns, you can get the qualifications for the private seats on the second floor."

"Ma'am, shall we go in?" Hualu was the most lively person, she heard what the boy was shouting clearly, and immediately grabbed the flower core and stamens and squeezed forward to ask.

Feng Yao asked Doudou and Murong Xier for their opinions, and seeing that Doudou was very interested, and Murong Xier seemed to be interested too, she smiled and said, "Then let's go in."

The tea shop is full of people, crowded and crowded, it is even more crowded than the outside.Feng Yao took Murong Xi'er to squeeze in with great difficulty, and after waiting for a while, she saw Sanhua also squeezed in front of her.I saw three beautiful girls, their braids were messed up, their clothes were loose, and their faces were glistening with sweat, they were so pitiful and lovely.

At this moment, on a small high platform where two small tables were piled up in the middle of the hall, a clerk was holding a jade rabbit lantern in his hand, and was asking a riddle: "A little girl was born in the middle of the water and wore pink clothes. shirt, sit on the green boat."

"Lotus! It's a lotus!" Immediately, someone shouted loudly.

Hua Lu pouted when she saw that beautiful Jade Rabbit Lantern being delivered into the hands of a young man, and then passed it on to a beautiful girl.

Not long after, the boy had another lantern in his hand, but it was a beautiful dragonfly lantern. He only heard the boy's rendering before he started to talk about the puzzle: "Qingqingguo, round and round, bites." He frowned."

Hualu's eyes lit up, and she quickly called out: "Plum!Hualu's mouth pouted higher.

Unexpectedly, the little guy said: "We have finished solving the last puzzle. The next puzzle will be more difficult, you guys have to work harder, the lanterns below are even more beautiful!" "As he said, someone handed him a lantern.

Sure enough, the lantern was made into the shape of a magnolia flower, crystal clear, not only much better than the previous materials, even the poles were changed from ordinary wooden poles to bamboo poles.

Hua Lu's eyes lit up, she couldn't help standing on her tiptoes, listening to the little guy's puzzle: "There is a girl with great ambition, and she has homes everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. The lake helps her look in the mirror, and the spring breeze combs her hair. Hit a plant name."

This puzzle is a little more difficult than the previous one, Hualu's eyes were only on the beautiful magnolia lantern, the more impatient she was, the more she couldn't figure it out.I couldn't help but push the flower core and stamen beside me: "Quickly, think about it for me, what is it?"

Hua Xin just laughed and cried: "We have never read a book, and Hua Rui and I are not interested, even you can't guess it, so how do we know?"

Hualu's eyes couldn't help showing disappointment, at this moment, someone had already answered the riddle and took away the lantern.Hua Lu pouted and looked at Feng Yao sadly: "Ma'am, why don't you stand up for me?"

Feng Yao smiled wryly and said, "I'm really sorry, I only know a few words, but I don't understand the riddles I'm asked to guess."

Hua Lu's pursed mouth got higher, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and listen to the next puzzle from the boy.However, the lantern in the boy's hand became more and more beautiful, and the puzzles became more and more difficult to guess. Hualu looked at it eagerly and almost cried.

At this time, I only heard an arrogant voice from beside me: "Tea, this puzzle is tea."

Almost as soon as the puzzle was finished, before anyone else had time to make a sound, this voice seemed to answer without even thinking about it.Immediately, the young man heard the sound and looked over, and saw a woman wearing a tiger mask, and said with a smile: "This girl guessed right." Then, he asked someone to pass the lantern over.

Hua Lu saw the beautiful lantern was handed over by the boy, but Murong Xi'er who answered the puzzle correctly didn't accept it, she just said, "Hold it for me."

"Yes, are you calling me?" Hua Lu was a little flattered.

Murong Xi'er nodded faintly: "Yes."

Hualu was overwhelmed with surprise, and hurriedly took the lantern. She was so excited at the moment, she said, "Thank you, thank you, Mr.... you, thank you!"

"I'm just tired of standing and want to go up to find a nice seat." Murong Xi'er said flatly.

However, instead of being sad, Hua Lu clenched her fists and said, "Yes! You, you will definitely answer the seven puzzles correctly!"

What a kind princess, Hua Lu thought to herself, clenched the lantern in her hand, and began to look at the boy.

Just now, the words of Murong Xi'er and Hua Lu also reached the ears of everyone, and they all cast strange glances.Someone sneered and said: "Overestimate one's abilities."

Someone said again: "I don't even dare to take off the mask, so I dare to say big things. Anyway, no one knows who she is."
