On the night of the Lantern Festival, Sheng'an City is very lively. There are thousands of colorful lanterns on the streets and people are flowing in. Almost every restaurant and shop has set up lantern riddles for visitors to guess, and there are also various lottery prizes waiting for everyone.

to win.

There were too many people on the street, and it was not convenient to go out by carriage. So the brothers and sisters of the Cen family chose to go out on foot. Each of them brought a maid or Xiao Si with them. This group of people was quite large.

It's so majestic.

Jingshuang took the initiative to give up the opportunity to go out to watch the lantern festival to Yingxue. As soon as Yingxue went out, she felt that her eyes were not full. She looked around, with an expression on her face that was more excited than Cen Xiyan.

Recently, Cen Hongyu has been under strict supervision by Cen Ao, and he has not been able to go out for a long time. Today, he finally got the opportunity. As soon as he went out, he quickly disappeared.

Cen Hongyi just pretended that he didn't see Cen Hongyu escape, or that he was too lazy to care about him, and continued to visit the lantern festival with his other brothers and sisters.

As a concubine, Cen Hongmian didn't care about things that his eldest brother didn't care about. Naturally, he couldn't say much. He moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just sighed secretly in his heart.

Cen Xiyan has traveled to this time and space for ten years, and this is the first time he has celebrated the Lantern Festival in Sheng'an. Although the Lantern Festival lantern festivals in various places are very lively, they are still incomparable to the prosperous capital city at the foot of the emperor, so he enjoys it.

In front of a stall selling gadgets, Cen Xiqin picked up a wooden doll, winked at Cen Xiyan, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, look!"

Cen Xiyan glanced at the puppet, then raised his eyebrows at Cen Xiqin, and said lightly, "Very good."

Cen Xiqin smiled, put down the puppet, and said, "It's not as good as Sixth Sister's craftsmanship."

Cen Xiyan pretended not to hear the ridicule in Cen Xiqin's words, picked up a rouge box and played with it without answering her words.

Cen Hongmian on the side couldn't help but asked curiously: "Oh? Can Sixth Sister still make dolls?"

"Of course, Sixth Sister's hand is a coincidence!" Cen Xiqin raised his chin and said proudly, with a look of pride on his face.

"Hmph!" Before Cen Hongmian could say anything else, Cen Xifen snorted coldly and interjected: "What's so great about being able to make dolls? It's just a craftsman's job. It lowers your status in vain!"

Cen Xiyan frowned and looked at Cen Xifen with cold eyes. She felt very disgusted in her heart. This idiot would make her feel uncomfortable even if he didn't cause some trouble for a day!

When Cen Xifen met Cen Xiyan's penetrating gaze, she felt a little weak for some reason, and her eyes couldn't help but dodge.

Cen Xiqin also turned cold and said sternly to Cen Xifen: "You won't be happy if you come out to watch a lantern festival. You're celebrating the holidays. Do you have to let me say something bad about you to make you happy?"

"Didn't I just tell the truth? I couldn't be more happy!" Cen Xifen said harshly.

"Okay, stop saying a few words! If you make any more noise, go back!" Cen Hongyi opened his mouth and spoke.

Cen Xiqin rolled her eyes at Cen Xifen and twisted her face.

Cen Xifen saw that Cen Hongyi's expression was serious and he was not joking, so she quickly shut up. She was still a little afraid of this cousin.

The handsome men and beauties in this group are very attractive. If they really get noisy, it will be very lively.

When they walked to the intersection of Dongshi Street, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of a jade shop, so they also gathered around it.

"Why are there so many people?" Cen Xiqin stood on tiptoe and looked inside curiously.

Someone nearby listened and saw a pretty and cute little girl from a wealthy family asking, so he kindly answered: "This Duobao Zhai shop has been open for fifty years this year. The owner has made a big deal during this year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival."

As for the lottery prizes, those who guess the top three in the lantern riddles are all of the best jade! Even those who don't make it into the top three will still have a lot of lottery prizes, which is why so many people are attracted to guess the lantern riddles."

"Really?" Cen Xiqin's eyes burst out with excitement, and he asked again: "Then what kind of bonus are the top three?"

The enthusiastic person on the side said: "Look, miss, the little jade pig placed in the center of the table is the first prize, the jade pendant next to it is the second prize, and the hosta in the box is the third prize."

, the other gadgets on the table are also rewards for other people who guess the lantern riddles correctly."

Cen Xiqin's eyes suddenly focused on the little jade pig on the table, and was attracted by the naive appearance of the little pig. "It's so interesting! I want the eldest brother, the third brother, and the sixth sister!"

"If you want, just go ahead and guess." Cen Hongyi said casually. He had no intention of helping at all.

"Humph! Just guess!" Cen Xiqin was protected by his two brothers and squeezed to the front. When he saw the hundreds of lanterns in front of him, he was a little dumbfounded, "So many..."

"Miss, are you interested in giving it a try?" the middle-aged man in charge asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'll try." Cen Xiqin nodded.

The person in charge asked a waiter to prepare pen and paper for Cen Xiqin and asked her to write down the answers she guessed in order.

Seeing that his hands were itchy, Cen Hongmian asked the clerk to hold the pen straight and planned to give it a try.

Soon, Cen Xiqin came back with a grimace and complained to Cen Xiyan: "It's so difficult. I guess I'm out of luck in the first place..."

"Oh? How many can you guess?" Cen Xiyan asked.

"There are probably more than thirty." Cen Xiqin said gloomily: "I'm not sure whether they are all right. Well, it depends on the third brother."

Cen Xiqin is a very smart girl, but she is not very good at this kind of lantern riddle game, because for lantern riddles, not only the flexibility of the brain and literary talent, but also life experience are considered. For example, the answer to some lantern riddles is

It is common in life, but some noble ladies who are pampered and well-off may not be seen by noble gentlemen. That is something you would never guess.

After a while, Cen Hongmian also came back, and he was still frowning and thinking hard.

"Third brother, how are you? How many did you guess?" Cen Xiqin asked with a hopeful look on his face.

"There must be more than seventy..." Cen Hongmian was also very dissatisfied with his results and sighed: "This lantern riddle shop is indeed not simple. Not only are there a lot of questions, but many of the questions are unheard of. The top three prizes

, it’s really not that good.”

Cen Xihan originally wanted to show off her skills, but now that she heard what Cen Hongmian said, she immediately gave up the idea. She knew very well what Cen Hongmian's literary talent was. Even the third brother only answered more than seventy riddles.

Question, if her grades are not satisfactory, wouldn't it damage her reputation as a talented woman? She will not do anything that may harm herself.
