Zhao Ceying and Mo Lan spent the first Lantern Festival together.

It would be perfect if there were no annoying people along the way.

The most interesting thing about the lantern festival in Yuzhou is guessing lantern riddles.

Mo Lan and Zhao Ceying took Hui'er to a stall in a shopping-eating-shopping-eating pattern.

The stall was surrounded by water, and many scholars gathered here.

"This is Uncle Lu's stall."

Zhao Ceying recognized it at a glance and explained to Mo Lan: "His family has an ancestral craft of making lanterns, and no one in Yuzhou can match it. Every year during the Lantern Festival, Mr. Lu will bring out the most beautiful lanterns for everyone to guess. If you guess, If you win, you can take it away. If you don’t guess, you can only leave empty-handed. Of course, if you don’t guess but you really want it, you can only buy it. But if you buy it by purchase, his lanterns are better than others. It’s much more expensive.”

Mo Lan blinked: "Then these riddles are definitely not simple."

"Indeed." Zhao Ceying nodded: "Only a few people can guess correctly every year. In the end, all of Mr. Lu's lanterns were bought."

Mo Lan couldn't help but sigh: "Old man Lu has been here for half a year."

No way, who makes the lanterns look the best? That is a direct crushing existence.

"Sister-in-law, let's go see the lanterns too~"

Hui'er took Mo Lan's hand and shook it.

Mo Lan couldn't help but touched her little head: "Let's go, I also want to see the difference between the lanterns in Yuzhou and Bianjing."

Zhao Ceying escorted them both in.

Mo Lan took a fancy to a lantern at a glance, with pink and white peonies on top and a cyan vase underneath. There are also pictures of beauties painted around the vase.

It's absolutely exquisite.

Mo Lan raised her hand and picked up the riddle tied under the lamp.

Xiancao's poems are made into small pieces, guessing it's just Chinese medicine.

Mo Lan raised her eyebrows.

No wonder this lantern has not been taken away yet. It turns out that it is not an anagram but the name of a Chinese medicine.

You know, in this era, not many people can study medicine.

For those who do not study medicine, even if they know something about Chinese medicine, they may not know every medicine. At most I know some commonly used ginseng, angelica and the like.

"Uncle Lu, the answer to the mystery is Gao Ben, right?"

When Mr. Lu heard this, he looked at her in surprise: "This lady is really smart."

Without hesitation, he took off the lantern and handed it to her.

Hui'er almost jumped up with excitement: "Sister-in-law is so amazing!"

Mo Lan asked her to choose a lantern again, but this time she didn't guess and just bought it with money.

She has already taken away the exquisite and gorgeous lantern. It would be unkind to get another one for free.

Just as they were about to leave, a sweet sound suddenly came from their ears.

"Sister~brother-in-law~ I want that peony lantern. I couldn't guess the riddle last year and was overtaken by others. I must get it this year!"

Mo Lan couldn't help but look to the side, but was stunned.

Da Zou?

Then the coquettish woman next to her is...little Zou?

Where has Shen Yuzhen gone?

Mo Lan was a little puzzled, but Zhao Ceying noticed something strange and said softly: "That's my aunt's natal sister, Miss Zou San."

He paused and then said: "My aunt should be grounded at home! I told my uncle last time, and he got very angry and said he would ground her for three months."

Who lets her bully her own wife, not even her aunt!

Mo Lan nodded, but before he could say anything, he was spotted by Da Zou and Shen Congxing.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they saw little Zou staring at the lantern in Mo Lan's hand and blurting out: "Why did you take it away?!"

"I like it, and I've solved the mystery. Of course I want to take it."

Little Zou pursed her lips and looked at the lanterns with eyes full of longing.

She wanted this lantern but couldn't get it last year. This year she finally got her eldest sister and her eldest brother-in-law to go out to the lantern festival together.

Just for this lantern, if my sister couldn't solve the mystery, my brother-in-law would buy the lantern.

But she didn't expect that she would be a step late!

"elder sister……"

Little Mrs. Zou looked towards Mrs. Zou for help. How could Mrs. Zou not know her temper? He said calmly: "There are still many lanterns, just pick the one you like."

"But I just like this one. I have liked it for a long time."

Little Zou looked at Mo Lan with a pitiful expression: "I really like this lantern. Madam Sheng, can you give this to me?"

As she spoke, she took out some coins from her purse.

"I know these are not enough, but this is all I have on hand right now... But don't worry, Madam Sheng, I will borrow some from my brother when I go home, and I will definitely get the money together and send it to the Zhao family."

"Ping'er."

Mrs. Zou's face became more and more ugly, and she looked at little Zou with a very dissatisfied look in her eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense."

She pulled little Zou to prevent her from approaching Mo Lan.

Da Zou was secretly annoyed.

She had known that her sister was being naughty, and she had been trying to discipline her more, but she just couldn't get over her temper.

Originally, she didn't want to bring anyone out, but it was little Zou Fei who pitifully said that no one cared about her that made her feel compassionate.

The result was such a joke again!

And Mo Lan resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

This little Zou is just like in the play, teasing and greedy.

Who doesn’t know how expensive the lanterns sold at Mr. Lu’s stall are?

But with the few copper coins Xiao Zou spent, he could only buy the cheapest rabbit lantern.

If you can't afford it, don't buy it. It looks so pathetic.

Isn't it just that he is considering himself a bride and wants to give her the lantern for free out of kindness?

But before Mo Lan could say anything, Zhao Ceying couldn't help it anymore.

"No one will give my wife's things away."

Zhao Ceying took Mo Lan into her arms and couldn't help but frown: "Uncle, aunt, Mo Er Hui'er and I have something to do, so go ahead."

After that, before a few people could react, they left with them.

As Zhao Ceying walked, she muttered to Mo Lan: "My uncle's family is really shameless. My aunt has developed such a spoiled temperament. My aunt's maiden sister is not an economical person either. Stay away from them in the future. Don't make my wife angry."

He said and knocked Hui'er's little head: "And you, little idiot. Don't be deceived by the two of them in the future."

Hui'er touched her little head and retorted unconvinced: "I'm not a little idiot! My sister-in-law said I'm smart!"

"Don't listen to your brother, our Hui'er is the smartest."

Mo Lan held Hui'er's hand and was in a good mood.

Having a good man means peace of mind.

She didn't say anything yet, she was being protected so that she didn't have to worry about it.

Perhaps, this is how normal couples get along, right?

The three of them played for a long time before going home.

About half a month after the Lantern Festival, Mo Lan received a letter from Ru Lan.

The letter told everything about what happened in Bianjing recently.

It is said that on the night of the Lantern Festival, Concubine Rong's biological sister Song Feiyan was kidnapped by gangsters.

Concubine Rong begged the emperor to find someone, but even the imperial guards sent out but could not find anyone.

It wasn't until the next day that the gangsters threw Song Feiyan into the busy city.

And Song Feiyan committed suicide by hanging from a beam the night she returned home.
