Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 57 Son-in-law!effort!
In this Beiping city, Zhu Gaoxu is really familiar.

Going around, crossing two streets, and leading the crowd to the lantern festival.

The Lantern Festival was indeed very lively, and the lanterns were full of beautiful things in eyes, and the flowers caught the eye.

Different from the scene on the street, there are mostly ordinary people there.

Most of the people who come to this lantern festival are talented scholars who look like scholars, or talented women who wear skirts.

Talented scholars look eager to try, they want to win the first place in this grand event, gain fame, and even win the favor of women.

The square is densely hung with lanterns in the air, and there are lantern riddles hanging under the lanterns.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the lantern riddle guessing square over there, and said: "If you guess three lantern riddles here, you will be eligible for the competition."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead."

Everyone was about to enter the arena, but was immediately stopped by a guy in black.

"Please slow down."

He bowed slightly, and then explained with a smile: "Sirs and young ladies, they should be foreigners. There is an unwritten rule in our Lantern Festival, that is, both men and women must enter the venue together to form a team. Go up During the Yuan Festival, treat them as a couple."

"what"

Hearing this, the girls from Ningcai County were discouraged.

This is why the Shangyuan Festival is easy to promote marriage. Men and women must be in pairs, and teams can be formed on the spot.
Needless to say, Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun looked at each other and smiled, and went in arm in arm.

And Zhu Gaoxu was too happy, he immediately looked at Wei Jiangxue, and invited: "Miss Jiang Xue, can you do me a favor and guess lantern riddles with me?"

"Ah."

Wei Jiangxue nodded slightly, and entered with Zhu Gaoxu.

The remaining three girls looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

I can only watch from a distance.

At this time, the gifted scholars who came here are all in pairs.

If they want to find it now, it may be too late, and they won't save face.

However, they didn't feel sad for long.

Because a few minutes later, Zhu Gaoxu led Wei Jiangxue back
"Oh, what a pity, I only got two lantern riddles right, and I couldn't guess the third one, so I didn't even get the qualification to be selected."

Wei Jiangxue pouted, secretly thinking that it was a pity.

In fact, when the two entered just now, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't figure it out.

Wei Jiangxue guessed the only lantern riddle that Er Er got right
Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "To be honest, I know martial arts, and this article is indeed a bit poor."

"It's okay."

Wei Jiangxue didn't care, but said:
"How can a person be perfect? ​​Even a saint can't do it. Mr. Xu doesn't need to blame himself. I entered it just now, and I saw that there are many scholars in it. Even if you enter the competition, it is extremely difficult to win the first place."

These words immediately saved face and hit Zhu Gaoxu's heart.

Look, look, this is called empathy!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile: "Why don't we just wait here for my sister and brother-in-law, they really have a chance to come out on top!"

"Really?" asked the fat girl.

"That's not."

Zhu Gaoxu was very proud, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "My eldest sister has read a lot of books since she was a child, and my brother-in-law is even more talented. I don't think anyone here can compare with him."

As soon as this remark came out, there was nothing on their side.

Instead, it ushered in the dissatisfaction of countless scholars around.

"Blag."

"Our Senior Brother Liu from Baiyun Academy has gone, is there anyone else who is the top pick?"

"In addition to Senior Brother Liu from Baiyun Academy, Zhang Haoxuan from Hanjiang Academy is present. I don't know what it means."

These scholars whispered and sneered.

Damn it, how dare you speak gossip?

My little temper!
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was a little irritable and wanted to hit someone.

But with so many girls around him watching, it's not easy for him to have a seizure.

He just glared at those people and said, "Say it face to face if you have the ability."

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, the group of scholars immediately froze and shut up.

Wei Jiangxue hurriedly grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's arm: "Okay, don't argue with others when you are outside."

Look, how considerate and caring about me!
Zhu Gaoxu was very happy, and nodded happily: "I listen to Miss Jiang Xue."

When the other three girls saw it, they covered their mouths and laughed, showing the expressions of "your uncle spoils his father"
Lantern riddle square.

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun walked in arm in arm, ready to solve the riddle.

Then Li Xiao was stunned.

This stuff.

I really can't!

They are all literary questions.

It is really necessary for the ancients to play this kind of problem, and the modern people are completely unable to play it.

"Sitting is also lying down, standing is also lying down, walking is also lying down, lying down is also lying down, hitting an animal."

Li Xiao fell into deep thought, what the hell is falling to the ground.

"It's a snake."

Zhu Ningyun figured it out in one go, pulled off the lantern riddle, and handed it to Li Xiao.

"Hey, it's really a snake!"

Li Xiao realized in vain, stared at Ning Yun and praised: "Ning Yun, you are really smart."

Zhu Ningyun was very proud, she pulled Li Xiao to continue walking.

See another question.

"By the stream, there are dense forests (type one word)"

Li Xiao was stunned, and was so stumped.

He had no choice but to look at Zhu Ningyun as if asking for help, and said, "Ningyun, I still have to look at you."

It seems that today is not my home field.

Let's take this opportunity and let Ning Yun regain her confidence.
Zhu Ningyun looked at the question, lost in thought, and after only a few breaths, she seemed to smile and guessed it again.

"There are dense forests by the stream. There are nine wooden characters and water."

She directly tore off the lantern riddle, handed it to Li Xiao, and said softly, "It's Ran."

Afterwards, Li Xiao suddenly realized like Zhuge Liang: "Hey, it's true, adding three dots of water to Jiumu will dye the characters! As expected of Ningyun, it's amazing."

Two questions have been answered.

One more question to qualify for the competition.

The two took a step forward.

Another question appeared.

"The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. (Type an idiom)"

Li Xiao asked for help directly: "Ningyun, come on!"

Zhu Ningyun really deserves to read thousands of volumes. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth and said: "Confucius said that wise people like water, and benevolent people love mountains. Benevolent mountains and wise water are derived from this. The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. The answer to the riddle is the repetition of the two words." The mountain is heavy and the water is back'."

"Easy solution!"

Li Xiao won the lantern riddle.

The two held hands, walked towards the guy who held the event, handed over the lantern riddle, and gave the answer.

One pair of answers, buddy, all three questions are correct.

"Congratulations to the two, they meet the selection requirements."

"Next, you can participate in the lantern riddle contest jointly organized by our Jinfengluan Jewelry Store and Tongrentang Pharmacy."

"Two, please come with me and wait here for a while. When thirty couples are selected, the competition will begin. You two are now No. 20 couples."

With that said, the clerk invited Li Xiao and the two to an open space.

There are already many talented scholars and beauties waiting here.

Li Xiao and Li Xiao didn't have to wait long, and everyone arrived.

The game is about to start.

I saw a man who looked like a wealthy businessman in silk and satin, walked to the high platform and announced loudly:

"Fire trees and silver flowers on Yuanxi night, thousands of colored lights are shining brightly."

"Dear beauties and talents, fathers and folks, thank you for coming to the Fengluan Lantern Festival jointly organized by our time-honored Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop and Tongrentang."

"The Fengluan Lantern Festival finalist competition is over. Thirty pairs of talented scholars and beauties have been selected. The literary talent competition here is the same as in previous years. There is a lot of excitement to watch."

"This year's top prize will be sponsored by our Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop, a pair of emerald-inlaid red agate crested phoenix heads worth 300 taels of silver."

"The jewelry produced by our time-honored brand Jinfengluan comes from the hands of folk craftsmen, and the materials are used"

After the shopkeeper promoted his own brand, the competition finally officially started.

Thirty couples entered the competition venue one by one.

There are more and more people onlookers, cheering for the people they know
"Look, madam, Li Xiao and our daughter are also among them."

Among the crowd, Zhu Di had sharp eyes and saw the two of them at a glance.

"It's really Ningyun and the others, holding hands, like a loving couple."

Xu Miaoyun was also very happy, and couldn't help shouting:
"Ningyun, strive to win the first prize!"

Zhu Di was so excited that he raised his hand and shouted: "Ningyun! You are the best!"

After finishing speaking, he felt something was wrong, did he neglect his son-in-law?
After all, it is the son-in-law who can bring the daughter back to life.

So he added: "Son-in-law, work hard!"

however.

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun were in the crowd.

Can't hear it at all.
