Chapter 828 Lantern Festival
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the Lantern Festival, the capital was decorated with lanterns, colorful lanterns everywhere, and riddles hanging on them. Especially after the street lights, shops on the street tied them directly between the poles with thick ropes, and then lanterns were hung on the thick ropes.
There are many people on the main road of the capital during the day. At night, the lanterns and street lights shine together, and it is even more lively.
"Hey, don't walk so fast, otherwise you will get lost!" Yu Cheng shouted from behind, and Goya was already walking in front.
"You are a big man, why are you walking so slowly?" Goya was a little dissatisfied.
"The lanterns are meant to be watched slowly. You walk so fast and you have many scenery left behind." Yu Cheng said.
"This is...then you say." Goya said.
Then Goya found the note hanging under the lantern and read it according to the words on it: "Hey, what is this? The bright moon is in the sky?"
"This is a riddle. During the Lantern Festival, literati and poets like to compare riddles with each other to see who is more talented. The more clever the riddles are produced, the faster they answer, the more respected they are. For example, this 'bright moon in the sky' is to guess a Chinese character." Yu Cheng replied.
"What word?" Goya couldn't think of it.
"Actually, this is the simplest riddle. Think about it, in the sky, the word "Ming" means that the word "Ming" has no "Moon" on the right, isn't it just the "Sun" left? So this word is the word "Sun". You can't even guess such a simple riddle, so don't think about guessing other riddles." Yu Cheng said.
"Okay, you are saying that I'm stupid in different ways! I only learned dozens of Chinese characters from Sister Xiao before, but I have worked hard to learn them after I arrived at the martial arts lecture hall. But Chinese characters are so difficult, I only recognize hundreds of them until now, and you still laugh at me!" Goya was a little angry.
"Don't be angry, I'll treat you to candied haws." Yu Cheng gradually understood Goya's personality and saw a hawker selling candied haws passing by next to him, so he said.
Sure enough, when Goya heard that there was something delicious, his anger disappeared in an instant.
Da Yu'er, Xiao Xiu'er, Liu Rushi and others followed behind and saw Goya and Yu Cheng getting along, showing an aunt-like smile.
"Goya finally got to know her." Da Yuer was deeply pleased to see Goya who had been trained by her.
"You are better at teaching Da Yu'er, otherwise it would be so smooth. It's just a pity that Cao Bianjiao, who is in charge of martial arts lectures, seems to be very infatuated with Goya," Xiao Xiu'er said.
"The relationship cannot be forced. Only one party is interesting and does not count." Da Yuer said.
"Sister Da Yuer, Sister Xiao Xiuer, are you two interested?" Liu Rushi suddenly asked.
Da Yu'er and Xiao Xiu'er were both startled and shook their heads repeatedly: "No..."
"But ordinary women are at the age of their two sisters, and they are both talking about marriage." Liu Rushi said.
Among the few, she is undoubtedly the youngest.
"I was originally adopted by the witch mother-in-law in the Yizhou Mountain Tribe. In order to maintain my holy image, I would not marry someone." Xiao Xiu'er said.
"In Yizhou, it is Yizhou. Now that my sister has returned to the Central Plains, the restrictions on witches are endless. There are so many excellent men in the Academy of Sciences. With her sister's appearance, I believe that there are definitely many people who pursue her sister." Liu Rushi said.
"You little girl, you're so young and think about men and women all day long." Xiao Xiu'er pinched Liu Rushi's smooth face and said angrily.
"That's right, I see that when Sister Liu grows up, she will definitely be the kind of beauty that will harm the country and the people." Da Yu'er pinched her face on the other side.
"I know my two sisters are wrong. You can let me go..." Liu Rushi was attacked by both sides and begged for mercy quickly.
"Sister Liu, are you planning to start preparing for the Academy of Sciences this year?" Da Yuer was quite concerned about Liu Rushi.
"Well, Sister Ella asked her empty courtyard to be temporarily occupied by Yuanyuan and I. A few days ago, I had already cleaned the empty courtyard. Although it was not big, the environment was very beautiful and there was a trace of Jiangnan gardens. But it was really strange that a courtyard with rockery and fake water did not even have a decent furniture, nor did it have any traces of people living there. Only after three or five days did a servant come to clean the fallen leaves and dust. So I bought a few more wooden beds and wooden chairs." Liu Rushi said.
However, Da Yuer knew why there was no furniture in Ella's house... This was obviously because Chu Yun had not allowed Ella to have the opportunity to move to her own house before, so he could only be forced to stay in the military master's house... Da Yuer and Liu Rushi revealed the secrets.
"You just live there with peace of mind, so that you can get a good fortune in the future, or stay in the Academy of Sciences to become a scholar." Da Yuer is more optimistic about Liu Rushi.
There are not many people who know literacy in this era, and there are very few women who know literacy. The difference between the ability to learn knowledge is a hundred times, a thousand times, and a hundred times.
"Sister Da Yu'er, are you going to Japan again in two days?" Liu Rushi asked Da Yu'er.
"Well, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with. The military leader has some obsession with Japan. I must help the military leader take down Japan without bloodshed." Da Yuer said.
"Da Yu'er, you should ask someone to bring us letters from time to time, and don't break the contact." Xiao Xiu'er said.
"I will write letters often." Da Yu'er nodded.
"Where is Japan?" Chen Yuanyuan, who had been holding the corner of Liu Rushi's clothes, asked in confusion.
"Yuanyuan, Japan is located on several large islands above the sea, two or three thousand miles away." Da Yuer said to Chen Yuanyuan.
"Is there our place too?" Chen Yuanyuan asked again.
"Of course." Da Yu'er said to Chen Yuanyuan undeniably.
"I wonder if the army leader has come to this lantern festival." Liu Rushi saw the lantern festival flourishing, and didn't know if Chu Yun would appear.
Chu Yun is the core figure of the Jiuzhou Army. He may have caused a huge sensation when he appears in the Lantern Festival, and his safety is also a problem.
"The army leader likes lively personality and will definitely come." Da Yuer said affirmatively.
"Sister Da Yu'er, why do you understand the military leader so much? Do you..."
"I will tear your mouth apart again..." Da Yu'er pretended to be angry and went to pinch Liu Rushi's face again.
