Although it is night, the streets of the royal capital are very lively today, and the teahouses and wine shops are lit with candles, making it as bright as day.
Lamps of various shapes are placed on the vendors' stalls. Some are painted with the twelve zodiac signs, some are painted with various flower branches, some are pavilions, some are beautiful, and some are lifelike. , which made people applaud.
There are also those who walk on stilts, lion dancers, dragon lantern performers, and fire-breathing people...it's so overwhelming to see.
The girls in Nangong Mansion rarely leave the mansion, so they have long been dazzled by the sight.
Nangong Yue was the busiest along the way. She promised her brother that she would bring him delicious and fun things. Therefore, when Nangong Yue saw the snacks that were selling well, she immediately sent Yimei to buy them; when she saw the exquisite gadgets from the street stalls, she sent Queer to buy them without hesitation.
Nangong Yuecai stopped walking all the way until everyone reached the entrance of the famous Shenghua Salou in Wangdu, and Nangong Yuecai stopped without feeling satisfied.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. Naturally, there are many gorgeous and unique lanterns hanging at the entrance of Shenghua Restaurant and under the eaves on the second floor. In front of the restaurant, there is a bustling crowd.
Nangong Sheng was very curious and quickly asked the servant to come forward to inquire about the situation.
After a while, the waiter reported back and forth: "Master, Shenghua Restaurant is going to hold a guessing contest soon. It is said that whoever can win the final guessing championship will get a painting by the talented girl Viola."
Viola was one of the famous talented women in the previous dynasty. Her calligraphy and painting were unparalleled. Many literati from the previous dynasty admired her, but this Viola only fell in love with Prime Minister Liu of the previous dynasty.
It is rumored that the former Prime Minister Liu was extremely talented and beautiful, and he was already in the position of prime minister at a young age. Prime Minister Liu was not a womanizer, but he was only involved with Viola. At that time, the affair between the two of them was widely spread and everyone knew about it. But just when the world thought that this pair would hold hands for a hundred years, the Viola family was questioned by everyone, and the person who oversaw the execution was Liu. Prime Minister.
Finally, it is said that Prime Minister Liu never married and died when the dynasty was changing.
The true nature of the love-hate relationship between Viola and Prime Minister Liu has become unknown with the change of dynasties and the passage of time...
What is left is that the world laments the infatuation of Viola, but it is entrusted to no one!
Nangong Yue suddenly remembered that her mother, Mrs. Lin, liked the talented girl Jinlan very much. She even collected several of her calligraphy and paintings and took them out to appreciate from time to time. If I can get the violet painting, my mother will be happy.
"Sister Yue, do you want to participate?" Nangong Cheng has always been observant. Nangong Yue's performance is so obvious, how could she not notice it.
Nangong Yue nodded and said, "Yes, big sister, I want to give it a try."
Hearing that Nangong Yue wanted to participate in the guessing competition, Su Qingping, Nangong Yan and Nangong Lin couldn't help but be interested.
Nangong Cheng frowned in embarrassment. In her mind, she felt that as a lady, she really shouldn't show up on such an occasion. But the sisters were all in high spirits, and she didn't want to throw cold water on them and be a bad person.
Nangong Sheng also felt that something was wrong, but thinking that his sisters rarely left the house once, he couldn't bear to refuse their request like this.
At this moment, a young man in white wearing a pig-head mask hurried past them.
Nangong Sheng's gaze lingered on the other party for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he suggested: "Cousin Ping, and a few younger sisters, if you also want to participate in the competition, why don't you all wear masks before going? ."
The girls also thought this idea was quite elegant and suited the setting of the lantern festival, so they all got excited and quickly found a stall selling masks and each picked a mask.
Nangong Sheng chose a monkey mask, and Nangong Cheng chose a cat mask. After Nangong Yue chose a fox mask for herself, she also picked a tiger mask and gave it to her brother when she returned home.
Nangong Lin and Su Qingping each chose ghost masks and fairy masks. Nangong Yan chose a rabbit mask.
The people put on their masks and entered Shenghua Restaurant together.
The lobby on the first floor of the restaurant was bustling with people, most of them came to watch the excitement, a small number came to participate in the competition, and some came to encourage the contestants.
A high platform has been built in the middle of the hall on the first floor. There are several rows of long cases on the platform, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones already placed on them.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue gown appeared on the second floor. He walked slowly downstairs, then walked up to the high platform in the hall, looking down at everyone with a thick smile on his lips. smile.
"Uncle Fan, why haven't you started yet? We've been waiting for a long time." A young man wearing a light blue Sichuan satin robe said impatiently. Judging from his tone, he was obviously a frequent visitor to the restaurant.
Someone next to me immediately echoed loudly: "Yes, yes, let's start quickly. We have been waiting for a long time."
The middle-aged man known as Uncle Fan smiled and cupped his hands at the young man who was the first to speak: "It's Young Master Zhang. Don't worry, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival Quiz Competition will start soon. It’s begun.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise, applause, and shouts from the hall on the first floor...
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Uncle Fan raised his hand and said loudly, and the hall quickly became quiet.
Uncle Fan added: "Dear friends, this guessing competition is tentatively divided into ten questions. The winner who answers ten questions correctly in a row will be awarded a painting by the talented girl Viola. In the competition, if someone answers one question incorrectly, then Sorry, I can only ask you to withdraw from the competition."
As soon as this statement came out, someone immediately said: "What if two people answered ten questions correctly?"
"Then whoever answers faster will be the final winner." Uncle Fan answered without hesitation.
After that, no one asked any more questions.
Uncle Fan stretched out his hand to make a petition and said: "Next, let's invite the contestants to come on stage. Each person will choose a long case. After a while, I will give the question and everyone will write the answer on the paper. Pay attention, every time The time to answer the question is twenty seconds. If you fail to answer the question within the specified time, you will be eliminated."
As soon as this was said, there was a burst of complaints in the hall, complaining that the time was too short. But complaints are complaints, but no one dares to cause trouble.
"Then, please invite the contestants to come on stage as soon as possible. After a cup of tea, the competition will officially begin."
After a cup of tea, many people walked up to the long desk on the stage, including Nangong Sheng, Nangong Cheng, Nangong Yue, Nangong Yan, Nangong Lin and Su Qingping, accompanying them The maids and guards were waiting under the stage.
After all the participants were in place, a gong sound was heard from the right side of the hall, and someone shouted loudly: "The competition officially begins!"
After the words fell, the hall on the first floor was silent. Uncle Fan took out a note, but heard a clear voice from the audience: "Wait! There is me!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in a silver shirt with skin as white as jade and bright starry eyes striding towards the stage. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to stand up wearing a silver shirt, but this young man is not only handsome, And he has an extraordinary bearing, with a proud and confident temperament unabashedly exuding in his steps.
Beside him was a slightly shorter boy in a yellow shirt and four sturdy guards. Naturally, the guard did not come on stage, only the boy in white and the boy in yellow came on stage.
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment. The two were actually old acquaintances, and she couldn't help but look at each other.
Nangong Cheng nodded understandingly.
These two people were Miss Zhang Yusheng from the Zhang family whom Mingyue Princess Qu Jiayue and Nangong Yue had met before at the Enguo Duke's Mansion. Frankly speaking, Princess Mingyue looks a bit like a man when she is dressed as a man, but Yusheng's coy manner makes her look like a sissy, which cannot be concealed from anyone with a discerning eye.
Nangong Cheng immediately whispered a few words into his brother Nangong Sheng's ear to let him know what was going on so as not to offend the nobleman accidentally.
Su Qingping also recognized Princess Mingyue. On the one hand, she wanted to have a relationship with the princess, but on the other hand, she was afraid that the princess would forget about her and lose face.
Looking at Qu Jiayue and Zhang Yusheng, Uncle Fan frowned slightly. According to the rules of previous years, after the gong sounded, he was not allowed to go on stage again. But after spending so many years in the royal capital, he naturally saw that these two people were not ordinary people, so he immediately started to ask questions with a smile on his face: "Everyone, this first question is very simple, but it will become more and more difficult in the future. Yes. Now everyone, listen up. We have all the pearls and agates, guess the word."
Nangong Yue thought for a while, then came up with the answer and wrote it on the paper. This "pearl agate" has the radical "王", so the answer is - "王".
This question was really easy, and only three people walked down the stage dejectedly.
After the gong struck again, Uncle Fan began to ask the second question: "For the second question, everyone should listen carefully. Each question is only said once. The wind suddenly picked up before and after the farewell, guess a word."
Nangong Yue quickly put pen to paper on the paper - "scratch".
Five or six more people walked off the stage dejectedly, including Zhang Yusheng. She walked past Qu Jiayue, whispered something in her ear, and then left the stage.
Qu Jiayue turned back and looked in the direction of Nangong Sheng, and asked arrogantly: "Are you the young master of the Nangong family?"
Nangong Sheng didn't want to be high-profile, but he had no reason to avoid it. He just nodded: "Exactly, I'm Nangong Sheng."
A few people nearby heard their voices and immediately started whispering among themselves. The Nangong family was indeed well known among the literati.
Qu Jiayue's sharp eyes wandered over the girls wearing masks near Nangong Sheng, and said: "Then these girls must be from the Nangong family." Excluding the ones whose ages were different, she He focused his gaze on Nangong Cheng, Nangong Yue and Nangong Yan, with a sense of inquiry.
Nangong Sheng had heard before that Princess Mingyue seemed to have strong opinions on her younger sister Nangong Cheng. He was afraid that the other party would target her, so he just said vaguely: "It's a rare Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, so I'll take some of my younger sisters out to have fun."
The competition continues, as Uncle Fan said, each question becomes more difficult than the last, and more and more people step down after each question...
