Then the two families played together, watching the magicians jumping back and forth on the high ropes, flipping freely in the air, and sometimes flipping over the pots.
This scene was nothing to Li Hao. After all, even if we don't talk about the various entertainment methods in modern times, the level of juggling in the Song Dynasty was much higher than this.
But compared to Cheng Shaoshang, who had never participated in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, this scene was too attractive, so he pulled Qu Lengjun to come closer and watch.
After seeing everything, the walking speed naturally slowed down, allowing Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng Mu to catch up. However, there were so many people watching that neither side noticed each other for a while.
Moreover, Xiao Yuanyi and Cheng's mother were also busy here. Xiao Yuanyi was busy choosing jewelry for Cheng Shu, proclaiming his fairness.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhi's mother looked at Cheng Zhi giving Sang Shunhua a hairpin and became jealous. It wasn't until Cheng Zhi also gave her a hairpin that her expression improved.
However, Cheng Shi tilted his head and saw this scene with understanding, and directly praised: "Mom, that hairpin is beautiful."
Hearing Cheng Shi's words, Li Hao Xunxun seemed to have caught the eyes of Cheng's mother and the others, and planned to go over and say hello.
But at this moment, Li Hao suddenly felt that someone was staring at him. He raised his head and looked in the direction he felt, and he saw a city wall.
Scanning upward again, you can vaguely see someone standing on top of the city wall, but there are only a few lanterns on the top of the city wall, so it's not really clear.
Of course, this was enough, because besides Ling Buyi, who else would stay on top of the city with nothing to do, so he turned back his gaze.
At this time, Xiao Yuanyi had already seen Li Hao, so he came up to talk and introduced Cheng Zhi and his wife to Li Hao.
Although Li Hao said he knew these two people, it was actually his first time to meet Cheng Zhi and his wife, so he naturally had to exchange a few polite words.
After chatting for a while, everyone continued to set off, but maybe there were two outsiders, Li Hao and Qu Lengjun.
So except for Cheng's mother who was a bit fussy, everyone else seemed quite close to her. Even Xiao Yuanyi didn't show off her fairness anymore.
Soon, everyone arrived at Tianjia Restaurant. Cheng Shaoshang looked at the many lanterns hanging outside the restaurant and curiously asked Qu Lengjun: "Why does Tianjia Restaurant still sell lanterns?"
When Qu Lengjun heard this, he felt a little distressed. After all, Cheng Shaoshang had lived in the capital for so many years, but he didn't know about this riddle. It was obvious that he had never celebrated the Lantern Festival.
His words became even softer: "These lanterns are not for sale, but for people to guess riddles. There is a riddle on each lantern. As long as you answer it correctly, you can get the corresponding lantern."
After speaking, he looked at Cheng Shaoshang carefully before saying, "You look so smart, you must be able to answer a lot of questions correctly."
Then he pulled Cheng Shaoshang forward and took the initiative to read out the questions on the lantern for Cheng Shaoshang to answer.
After all, Qu Lengjun knew Cheng Shaoshang's intelligence well and knew that her only shortcoming was her literacy problem, so he solved it directly for her.
In fact, Cheng Shaoshang did live up to Qu Lengjun's expectations. Although he was not very good at using puzzles such as dictionaries, lyrics, and repertoire that required some literary knowledge, he was quick-thinking and frequently answered correctly when it came to arithmetic and object puzzles. , the whole person was also very happy.
After Qu Lengjun observed this, he focused on this type of questions for subsequent questions. He soon had almost the answers and stopped.
Seeing Cheng Shaoshang's bright eyes and gleaming gaze as he answered the questions, Cheng Shi started to smile from behind. Only Xiao Yuanyi frowned slightly, feeling that Cheng Shaoshang was a little too showy.
However, Cheng Shaoshang naturally didn't know what others were thinking. She just watched Qu Lengjun help her read the questions, but she didn't answer them, so she urged Qu Lengjun to answer two questions too.
But Qu Lengjun was not interested in this at all, and Cheng Shaoshang had already answered a lot, so he had to leave some for others, so he smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, you won quite a lot of lanterns." , let others do the rest.”
These words caused a woman in gorgeous clothes to sarcastically say: "This is really loud. Since you can't answer, you have to admit that your knowledge is shallow. How dare you boast and give it to others."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang couldn't sit still. After all, since she had been dating Qu Lengjun, she intuitively felt that she would not let Qu Lengjun be bullied if she wanted to be close to her.
It's just that Qu Lengjun didn't want to cause more trouble because of this little quarrel, so he grabbed Cheng Shaoshang and shook his head slightly not letting her speak.
Naturally, Li Hao, who was paying attention from behind, noticed this scene and recognized who was speaking.
Although based on He Zhaojun's early character, her words may not really have bad intentions, but Li Hao still planned to come forward to create the character of his beloved wife, and by the way, he answered all the other lantern riddles to experience the power of being a saint in front of others. Feel.
Anyway, in just a short while, Li Hao had already looked at all the questions and was sure that they were all questions he could answer.
So when he heard He Zhaojun telling Lou Yao next to him that he wanted the lantern in the upper right corner, Li Hao was ready to answer directly.
But before Li Hao could reach the front, he heard the Tian family boy say: "Master Yuan can solve all the puzzles upstairs."
Then you can see that the noise in the already noisy venue suddenly became louder, and most of the young girls talking were talking about Yuan Shen.
Seeing this scene, Li Hao stopped immediately and thought: "Forget it, let's give this opportunity to pretend to be 13 to Yuan Shen, just think of it as creating opportunities for him."
The next scene went smoothly. The boy began to read the unanswered questions one by one, and then Yuan Shen was able to answer them directly, with almost no pause in the middle.
One question after another made the noisy discussion outside get louder and louder. At this moment, Li Hao quietly stood beside Qu Lengjun.
Seeing Li Hao's arrival, Lord Qu Leng said, "My brother-in-law is in a lot of limelight now. I'm afraid there will be more people coming to the house to ask for marriage in the future. I just don't know when my brother-in-law will let go."
Li Hao just smiled when he heard this, because he knew that there was a high probability that this matter would not be accomplished, and he was afraid that this hope would still have to fall on Cheng Shaoshang.
But before that, Li Hao was thinking about whether he should help Cheng Shaoshang to protect him. Ling Buyi was interested in that guy, and it was really not easy to stop him.
But now that Lou Yao is standing next to He Zhaojun, it's not too difficult to find a way.
While Li Hao was thinking about this, Cheng Shaoshang listened to Qu Lengjun's words and suddenly asked: "Oh, is Mr. Yuan upstairs the brother of Mr. Yuan?"
Qu Lengjun was stunned when she heard this. Although she knew that Cheng Shaoshang didn't know much about the family pedigree, the Yuan family and the Cheng family had some friendship. She thought that Xiao Yuanyi should tell Cheng Shaoshang about the Yuan family's situation. .
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuanyi, and then replied: "Yes, that is my husband's biological brother."
Xiao Yuanyi also noticed Qu Lengjun's eyes, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable. After all, this was indeed done wrong.
But in a second thought, she had other thoughts. After all, Cheng Shu was not young anymore, and she had already thought about negotiating for her to marry her these days.
When she heard that Yuan Shen was not married yet, she naturally started to think about it. Although the Yuan family's family background and power were higher than that of the Cheng family, it was not unattainable. What's more, if she married a low-born woman, the gap between the two families was not as big as her wishful thinking. the point.
It just so happens that the Cheng family and the Yuan family have established a relationship now, so they can mediate between them. Anyway, the Cheng family will have a housewarming banquet in a few days.
When the time comes, while inviting Li Hao, Yuan Shen will also be invited. After all, we have to find an opportunity for the two of them to meet first.
Just when Xiao Yuanyi felt that his method was good, Yuan Shen upstairs finally finished answering all the lantern riddles.
So Tian Shuo and a boy went to Yuan Shen and Cheng Shaoshang respectively and asked them how to arrange the lanterns they got from answering the questions.
Yuan Shen heard this and said directly: "Just find a place to hang these lanterns and see how bright the hall is."
Upon hearing this, someone nearby said: "Yuan Shanjian, this is because you are not kind enough. People in our college racked their brains to come up with these mysteries.
It's a good thing for you, you are relieved at this breath. Is it because you dislike this place not being bright enough? "
"Is there any problem?" After hearing what others said, Yuan Shen asked directly.
"At least I left a few lights for the spectators. Now that the lights are all gone, what do you want others to guess?" someone else replied.
"In that case, I will kindly give them a question." Yuan Shen said, and then asked Tian Shuo about the well downstairs and how deep it was.
As for Cheng Shaoshang, there was no waste at all. He just gave the address of Cheng's house to the young man and had someone take him back to the house directly.
In addition, he said that he wanted to give a few to Qu Lengjun, but Qu Lengjun refused. After all, he had already bought a lot before, and there was no point in getting more.
Others were not too happy, for example, He Zhaojun saw that the lanterns were gone, so he complained and planned to leave.
Then Tian Shuo came out and told the puzzle that Yuan Shen had just figured out, adding Qianli Zui as a bonus.
Originally, Li Hao thought that she would answer this question proactively, but Cheng Shaoshang seemed to have lost interest in it for some reason and just watched the excitement from the sidelines.
This made Li Hao a little disappointed. After all, without the scene of Shen Jing, Cheng Shaoshang, Lou Yao, and Yuan Shen would have lost their eyes for ten thousand years. It was really disappointing.
Then someone else came forward to answer, so most people moved to the well behind the restaurant.
Cheng Shaoshang did not follow, and the others were not very interested in it, so everyone wanted to move elsewhere, and at this time, Li Hao discovered a greasy man, who was none other than Prince Xiao.
Now that Prince Xiao has arrived, Ling Buyi, who came to the top of the city, should end up because Prince Xiao is the one who colluded with Xu Jinzhong.
After Ling Buyi learned about Xu Jinzhong's past, he had some clues about this. After all, it made Xu Jinzhong inexplicably prosperous and made Ling Buyi unable to find out the past.
Someone must be deliberately covering up this, and only King Yong could do things perfectly in Feng Yi County, Xu Jinzhong's hometown, and Prince Xiao was the son of King Yong.
However, Li Hao didn't care much about this. After all, it had no direct relationship with him.
What Li Hao cares about is that since Ling Buyi has come out, another person targeting Ling Buyi should also appear.
Sure enough, Li Hao soon heard a burst of noise, and someone shouted: "The princess has fallen into the water."
When Li Hao heard it, everyone else naturally heard it too, so everyone rushed over immediately.
I saw Princess Yuchang struggling in the river, and then the guards of the Ruyang Palace were holding bamboo poles to reach people, and by the way, they blocked the road on the bank to prevent people from approaching.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Song really thought that there was danger, and immediately went to rescue people, but ended up grabbing Li Hao.
He said, "Don't be anxious. Take a closer look first. The water has been turned into mud by her splashing. It doesn't look like it could drown someone."
After hearing this, everyone looked carefully and found that it was indeed what Li Hao said. Cheng Shi immediately asked: "If that's the case, why doesn't she come ashore quickly?"
Li Hao happened to see Ling Buyi on the bridge, so he smiled and said, "Look who is on that bridge."
After everyone looked over, Li Hao explained: "The princess of Yuchang Princess has been in love with Ling Buyi for many years, but Ling Buyi has never expressed it. Now this is a cruel trick, and she wants Ling Buyi to be a hero and save the beauty.
If someone else intervenes, even if they do save the person, they will only end up complaining, so why bother. "
After knowing the cause and effect of this matter, everyone no longer wanted to meddle in other people's business and simply went shopping elsewhere.
And this also achieved Li Hao's goal. Since the first two were gone for a thousand years, Ling Buyi had to let him pay less attention to Cheng Shaoshang. This was only fair.
After that, everyone did not separate, and Cheng Shaoshang did not need to go back to Tianjia Restaurant to get Qianli Zui, so the fire in Tianjia Restaurant did not affect everyone.
When the curfew was approaching and the bells from the tower were ringing, Li Hao and Qu Lengjun said goodbye to everyone in the Cheng family and went back to their homes.
It was at this time, under Xiao Yuanyi's reminder, Cheng Shi took the initiative to invite Li Hao to attend the Cheng family's wedding banquet. At the same time, he also asked Li Hao to bring some of his family members with him, saying that he would help the Cheng family support the occasion.
Li Hao naturally agreed to this. In order to help Huangfuyi pass the message, Yuan Shen would definitely have to go back that day, so of course there was no need to refuse.
And this is indeed the case. After Li Hao informed the Cheng family about the banquet, Yuan Shen said directly that he wanted to go without any hesitation.
So three days later, Li Hao, Qu Lengjun, and Yuan Shen took two carriages and rushed to the Cheng Mansion with a bunch of gifts.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Wan Songbai's loud voice saying that he wanted to give a gift to Cheng Shaoshang. It seems that this guy also sent a dagger to a girl's family as a gift. I don't know what he thought.
