The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 558 Run on the father, meet the old man (2)
"This pair of father and son is really interesting..."

"Yeah, I've never seen a father and son get along like this. Do you think the relationship between the father and son is good or not?"

"I think the relationship between father and son is very good. Otherwise, the son can talk to the father so casually?"

"I think that's right. Talking like this is actually really kind! The son teases the father, but the father pretends to be angry, but he is actually very proud of it?"

"That is! If I have a son who can speak poetry, I will be proud."

The emperor and his party came out after eating mutton steamed buns. Because they were too full, they refused to take a carriage, so they followed the crowd to the direction of Zhuangyuan Building.The emperor felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and he glanced at Yang Yan, the culprit, from time to time.But seeing his son touch his stomach from time to time, he felt comfortable again.If you are not filial, you will harm others and yourself, right?
The area around Zhuangyuan Building is the most culturally rich street in Dongshi, surrounded by many bookstores, stationery stores, calligraphy and painting studios and other shops.

Compared with Tianxiang Building, Zhuangyuan Building is actually a second-rate restaurant.

In front of the Zhuangyuan building is a restaurant, and behind it is a residence. It is divided into three grades: high, middle and low.

Students from all over the world will choose to live in the Zhuangyuan Building when they come to Beijing to take the exam. First, the name of the Zhuangyuan Building has a good meaning;Candidates rushing for the exam can learn and discuss with each other, and find like-minded friends.

Even if it is not the year of the competition, there are still many scholars and students who like to live in the Zhuangyuan Building. From time to time, they invite a few classmates and friends to hold literary meetings in the elegant hall on the top floor of the Zhuangyuan Building.

In order to make its reputation even louder, every year during the Lantern Festival, the Zhuangyuan Building will buy elegant and rare lanterns and make many lantern riddles, and then invite literati and students who come to guess the riddles to hold a grand Lantern Festival. Great rewards.

It is said that the reward for the first place last year was 300 taels of silver plus a top-quality Duan inkstone, a box of high-quality Hui ink, and a set of Hu brushes.

These things may not be a big deal to a son from a rich family, but they are of great significance to a son from a poor family.Most of the people who live in the Zhuangyuan Building are from poor families who are not very wealthy.Who would like to live in an inn for a young master from a noble family?
At this time, more than 20 literati students and several referees were already sitting on the high platform built in front of the Zhuangyuan Building, and there were still two lanterns under the high platform.

It turns out that every year at the Lantern Festival in the Zhuangyuan Building, [-] lanterns and [-] riddles will be prepared, and someone who can guess one can take the lantern and go to the stage to participate in the literary meeting.Now, there are only two lanterns left in the audience, which is probably the most difficult lantern riddle to guess.

The emperor urged Yang Yan to say, "Go and have a look, and I will have a long face if I win the first name."

Yang Yan nodded, and immediately took An Ran to watch the lantern riddles.

The last two remaining lantern riddles were all about guessing characters.

The first riddle: "You can only make friends if you know each other." Type the name of a historical figure.

The second riddle: "Flowers falling all over the ground is not surprising." It is also a name of a historical figure.

An Ran and Yang Yan thought about it carefully, and they had the answer in their hearts.This riddle doesn't seem to be difficult, how come no one guessed it right?The two were about to check out a pair of answers, when someone squeezed in from behind and said, "Let's go, let's go, everyone who can't guess riddles will let go. My son is here to guess lantern riddles!"

This voice seemed a little arrogant.

Yang Yan hurriedly held An Ran in his arms, turned his head to look, and saw a young man in his 20s walking slowly with two women wearing veiled hats, but he didn't recognize him.

An Ran looked over Yang Yan's shoulder, but her expression suddenly became strange.She seemed to know the person who walked slowly over!
The boy who opened the way in front was still yelling: "Let's make way, let's make way, my son is lost in guessing!"

An Ran suddenly wanted to play tricks, and said to Yang Yan: "Why don't we solve these two lantern riddles? It's disgusting to see his arrogant appearance!"

Yang Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Stingy, it's normal for those wits to have a bit of a temper. Let's be generous and let them choose first! Huh?"

An Ran pouted and looked at Yang Yan unhappily, she gave him face after all, did not refute, and asked him to stand aside.

The young man walked very slowly. If you look carefully, you will find that there seems to be something wrong with his legs.Yang Yan, who practiced martial arts, has been in the border for many years, and he is as careful as a hair, so he naturally discovered it.But ordinary people don't see it.

Yang Yan was grateful for this young man's disability, and understood that he was not intentionally arrogant, it turned out that his legs and feet were inconvenient, but he felt a little more admiration in his heart.

If An Ran knew what Yang Yan was thinking at the moment, she would most likely be stunned to death.Because this young man with a disability is none other than her ex-fiancé, Mr. He Ziyan!

He Ziyan brought two women with him, and An Ran guessed that one of them might be his concubine, Jiang Hongying, a talented woman from Jiangyang.As for the other, she couldn't guess.Is it He Ziyan's new concubine or his sister He Linglong?

He Ziyan walked slowly under the lantern, looked at two riddles, thought about it carefully, and chose the riddle of "Falling flowers are all over the ground, don't be startled", and said to Zhuangyuanlou Xiaoer who was guarding the lantern: "The answer to this riddle is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Celebrity Xie An?"

The little second guarding the lantern immediately smiled and said, "Master Gaocai, congratulations on your answer! Please hold the lantern, please on the stage!"

The spectators around listened to the answer, thought about it carefully, and quickly figured it out.Falling flowers all over the ground, isn't it just "flowers withering"?Don't be alarmed, isn't it just "peace of mind"?So combined, isn't it "Xie An"?
The riddle guessing in Zhuangyuan Building is only given one chance. You can only choose one riddle, and you can only answer it once. If you make a mistake, you will completely lose the qualification to continue guessing and participate in the literary fair.Therefore, all the students who guess the riddles are very cautious, and they will not give the answer without certainty.

However, this riddle is actually very simple in the final analysis, and Yang Yan also wonders why there are two simple riddles left behind.

What Yang Yan didn't know was that Zhuangyuan Lou made this lantern riddle every year, and no matter how many lantern riddles were used up, after a year, he had guessed all the difficult ones, so could he still use it to guess the second time?
