Bastards are difficult

A few people walked and watched, and unknowingly came to a teahouse. There were many lanterns hanging outside this teahouse. Most of them were round and long red lanterns, but only accounted for one-third of the number, and the rest were all kinds of lanterns. , There are red paper strips pasted under the lanterns, and various riddles are written on the paper strips. From time to time, some people guess the riddles, which arouses applause, and then the lanterns are taken off and sent to the guessers.

The people who came to guess the riddles were all young people, and some of them brought their family members. There were a lot of riddles prepared, and Zhang Xiu didn't even go down half of them after reading them for a long time.

Zhang Suxin was so greedy, seeing that others were guessing lantern riddles for her sister (actually, many of them were for her younger sister), she quickly pulled Zhang Xiu's sleeve: "Brother, I want it too, I want that glazed lantern."

Zhang Xiu fixed his eyes and saw that it was an octagonal glazed beauty lamp hung alone in front of the tea house. The eight faces were all glazed, and eight beauties with different postures were painted on it. The wind returns.

A piece of red paper was hung under the lantern, and a couplet was written on the branch: The first couplet said: Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, like tigers, cats, wolves and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild animals; , There are also words, and there are also in the Analects of Confucius, which is vague about east, west, north, south, although it is a short article, it is a wonderful article.

Zhang Xiu started lying in his heart when he saw it.

Even if he is a science student, even if he is an orphan, there are TVs in the orphanage. I think he was also a loyal Lan fan when "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" was popular all over the country, and he was so crazy that he went to the library to stand and watch Ji Xiaolan's life for free , just to understand that laughing and cursing are all articles and love the people like a child.

This lantern riddle was written by Ji Xiaolan at a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. For this reason, he specially studied how to solve the lantern riddle. Unfortunately, science students' brains are really not good at this kind of twists and turns. He still remembers the lantern riddles, and this one with the answer 'guessing a riddle' is one of them.

Ji Xiaolan was born in the Yongzheng period of the 40th century. Now the Ming Dynasty died only 80 years ago, and the prosperous dynasty lasted for more than 200 years. It is the beginning of the [-]th century. After more than [-] years, Ji Xiaolan’s ancestors may not be born. Here comes the riddle.

It's not that Zhang Xiu didn't think that there was a talented literary scholar who came up with this mystery, but the possibility is too small, otherwise why didn't Ji Xiaolan come up with this mystery before?It can be seen that everything is determined by nature (this guy forgot that the Ming Dynasty could die in 40 years, and it doesn't matter if a riddle appeared earlier).

Then the conclusion can be imagined, besides him, there must be other traversers in this ghost place!

This riddle may be that the other party is taking the opportunity to find other traversers, although he also wonders why the other party does not answer the riddle, which is a more modern riddle such as computers, refrigerators, televisions, telephones, and washing machines.

No matter what the other party's plan is, Zhang Xiu doesn't intend to recognize his relatives.

Just kidding, there have been a lot of stabbings in the workplace. He is living a very happy life now, so he doesn't want to recognize any relatives. What if the other party is a mentally retarded patient with secondary illness?He can't even save himself now, let alone save his relatives and friends. He is not the Virgin Mary. Besides, people may not be happy for him to recognize him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu shrank resolutely. He pretended to frown and think. Zhang Suxin didn't dare to breathe for fear of disturbing her brother's train of thought. When she saw her brother raised her eyebrows, she was immediately happy. Before she could ask what it was, she just looked at her. Brother said with a sad face: "Sister, can we change it? I can't guess."

The little girl suddenly held her breath, her little face flushed red.

Jiang Minghao thought for a while and glanced at Zhang Xiu, seeing that he was determined to pretend that he hadn't guessed and he didn't say a word, Jiang Mingbo stared at him for a long time, but he didn't know that these two people were so weak, he scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously: "Fifth brother, are you really have no idea?"

Jiang Minghao said: "How do you know? So what if you don't know?"

Jiang Mingbo laughed: "Well, tell me if you know, Suxin wants that lantern..."

Jiang Minghao: "..."

His brother is only eight years old, right?Haven't you always been ignorant?There was a servant girl in the house who drove him out, and now he only has a servant boy, not even a maid who waits on him. What is Zhang Xiu's younger sister doing now?Could it be that someone seduced him and watched Xia Sanlan's stuff when he didn't know it?

Thinking of this, I started to think about the bastard who might teach my younger brother badly, and completely forgot that his younger brother is only eight years old now, and it is the time when he is fond of playing. The children study with a group of older children every day. People of the same age are very lonely and lonely, no matter how good the boy's playmate is, he is still a servant, and there is a natural gap with him in terms of identity.

It's rare for the little guy to see a child of the same age. Although she is a weak woman he looks down on, she is better than nothing. Of course, he is eager to please.

But Jiang Minghao's thinking is even more profound. Jiang Mingbo will always get married in the future. If he can marry the Zhang family, his relationship with Zhang Xiu will naturally be closer. Why do you want the relationship between the two to be closer? The ignorant boy didn't know.

Thinking about it this way, he didn't mind Jiang Mingbo getting close to Zhang Suxin anymore. Of course, the servants still need to clean up. These are two different things. Thinking of Jiang Minghao bowing his head and saying two words in Jiang Mingbo's ear, Jiang Mingbo was overjoyed Go pick the red paper and write the answer.

The shopkeeper was very surprised to see that Jiang Mingbo was only □□ years old, and when he saw that the paper was correct, he yelled loudly: "Everyone, someone has finally figured out the hardest part. I guess everyone didn't expect it. This talented man You're not even ten years old yet, everyone, now this glazed lantern and the twelve taels of gold prize belong to this little child prodigy, hey, little genius, what's your name?"

Jiang Mingbo happily took the two ingots of gold ingots and glazed lamps, and listened to the shopkeeper's question about his name, and he said casually: "My brother said, you can't tell strangers your name casually. When a stranger asks his name, he is either a villain or a kidnapper." I'm leaving." Needless to say, Zhang Xiu must have taught me this, but thanks to the child's memory, he didn't stop talking.

As soon as he said that, there was a burst of laughter, and those who had such a good thing shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, are you a villain or a kidnapper?"

The old shopkeeper blushed and shook his head again and again.

Jiang Minghao was calm, Zhao Hanzhi looked at the lantern in Jiang Mingbo's hand enviously: "It's so beautiful, I want it too."

Jiang Minghao glared at him, this Zhao Hanzhi (little fat man) is now seventeen or eighteen years old, why is he still like a child?Zhao Hanzhi shrank his head when he stared at him, not daring to say anything, and obediently acted as his background board.

The brothers were winning glazed lanterns here, while the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family had gone to guess the simpler lantern riddles. In just a short while, Zhang Xiu had three extra lanterns in his hands, except for the lotus lanterns that Zhang Suxin bought at the beginning. Another carp lantern.

Jiang Mingbo squeezed in front of them, held up a lantern and smiled at Zhang Suxin: "Here."

Zhang Suxin hid back and looked at him warily: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Mingbo rubbed his head and smirked: "Don't you like this lantern? I won it for you."

Zhang Suxin glared at Zhang Xiu angrily.

She is not the kind of delicate boudoir girl who does not eat the fireworks of the world. As early as five years old, Zhang Qian hired a female master to teach her the Fourth Nvshu for her. In order to prevent her sister from being restrained by the Nvsishu, Zhang Xiu became weak by nature. I don't know, not only distorting the Four Books for Women, turning a feudal girl's success textbook into a black-bellied textbook, but also teaching her to read various history books and biographies to broaden her horizons, especially when she was seven years old. Aunt Yu began to teach her housekeeping, although Zhang's Hou Zhai Anwen didn't learn any methods of fighting in the inner house, but her vision and insight are beyond the comparison of ordinary women.

She firmly remembered Zhang Xiu's words, there are no rules, there is nothing perfect, the rules are just to make things easier for us, not to let the rules crush people to death, within the rules, you can be free.

And the biggest rule is that men and women have different seats at the age of seven.

Of course, in this northwestern land, the folk customs have always been open, and there is not much restraint on women, but the real ladies are still strictly educated, and have never shown their faces outside, but has anyone ever heard of what the girls in Prince Jing's mansion do outside? reputation?No, not at all, the world only knows that Prince Jing has three daughters, the eldest daughter is married, beautiful in appearance and gentle in nature, but they don't know anything about the other two daughters who are still in the boudoir.

Going out to play now, these things can be ignored for the time being, but giving and receiving privately is a big taboo.

Before going out, her mother specially told her, one is to follow her brother closely at all times, so as not to be kidnapped by kidnappers, and the other is to be careful not to be noticed by others, Zhang Suxin kept it firmly in her heart.

Previously, I thought Jiang Mingbo's slow-talking and foolishness was quite amusing, but when he was about to deliver something suddenly, the little girl thought about it all at once, and burst into tears immediately.

Zhang Xiu knew at a glance that the girl was probably thinking wildly again. She thought it was funny, but she didn't dare to tease her too much, so she reached out and took the lantern, looked at it, and handed it to her younger sister: "It's okay, I'll give it to you as a brother, go back. Straight up."

Jiang Mingbo couldn't figure it out at all, he just felt that it was strange that Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients were sincere and did not deceive themselves.

Zhao Hanzhi was already engaged, and although he was a child, he knew all about these things, and looked at Jiang Mingbo with joy.

However, Jiang Minghao looked thoughtful again, and Zhang Xiu was very upset when he saw it—if he knew that this guy was trying to trick his sister right now, he would not give him a good face, but unfortunately he didn't know—— Quickly said: "The fireworks are about to go off over there, let's watch the fireworks. Sister, do you still have to take this thing by yourself?"

The little girl just got the lantern, she was overjoyed, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take it myself."

Zhang Xiu was happy, and handed the things in his hand to the follower behind him, saying: "Sister is really amazing, brother admires it."

Zhao Hanzhi nodded fiercely: "It's much better than my sister. My sister knows how to cry, and she will cry when things don't go her way, and she will cry all the time."

Jiang Mingbo was delighted to hear it: "Haha, crying bag."

Jiang Minghao pampered him on the head.

A few people talked and laughed and continued to move forward. Before they reached the place where the fireworks were set off, they saw a servant of the Zhang family huddling around in the crowd not far away. Zhang Xiu stepped forward and grabbed him and shouted: "What are you doing?"

When Zhang Jincai saw that it was the eldest young master, tears and snot came down together, and cried, "Eldest young master, it's not good, it's not good, you should go back and have a look."

Zhang Xiu's heart skipped a beat: "What are you panicking about? What's the matter?"

The author has something to say:

I want to work hard for the perfect attendance award in August.

Yuan Fang, what do you think?
