Chapter 355
On the night of mid-autumn, a full moon hangs high in the clear sky, and the white light shines on the earth. Although it is not as bright as the sun, it gives people a feeling of quietness in the years.
Because there are many fewer people in Zhennan Hou Mansion, the garden is naturally not as lively as outside, but because Lin Wan arranged some special programs, it does not appear lonely.
Lin Wenbo and his son even pulled Lin Wan to a small poetry fight.
Although Lin Wan's poems were unanimously appreciated, Lin Wan knew very well that her poems were quite outstanding among girls of the same age. The gap between them and Lin Wenbo and Lin Hongfei, father and son, was like a gap, and the gap was quite obvious, even Lin Hongyu's poems were not as good as Lin Hongyu's poems.
However, Lin Wan was not discouraged. In order to play the role of "Caiyi Rujie" well, under the joint "comfort" of Lin Hongfei and Lin Hongyu, she composed a music on the spot and sang Lin Wenbo's poem to enjoy the moon, which naturally won a lot of luck.
When everyone was reciting poems and playing the piano, Dongxue and others posted riddles on each lantern.
"If you guessed the riddle correctly, will there be a reward?" When I heard that there were riddles, Cai looked at Lin Wan in a slight manner and asked.
Lin Wan nodded repeatedly: "Yes! In addition to obtaining lanterns, those who guess the riddles will have prizes based on the difficulty level of the riddles. The specific prizes can only be revealed if they guess the riddles."
Lin Wan's words successfully kept Lin Xiuwu, who planned to take his children and grandchildren to the outer courtyard to drink and have fun.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Lin Wan specially solicited opinions from Lin Xiuwu and Cai, and specifically announced that everyone in the mansion, including guards, and servants can participate.
All the riddles and prizes today are from Lin Wan and An Huijuan.
There are difficulties in lantern riddles. In addition to the young Lin Yuan and Xiao Anan who can only be babbling, the masters have read books, so naturally they will not guess such a low-difficulty riddle.
So the maids and servants in front of the masters had a place to use their skills, and cheers came one after another after guessing riddles.
Although the prizes prepared by Lin Wan and An Huijuan are not of high value, the prizes won with their own "talent" still make the winning servants proud.
Xiao Anan was still too young after all. As soon as he started guessing riddles, he saw that he was already distracted and lost his energy. Cai quickly ordered An Huijuan to take Xiao Anan back to Zhuxuan to settle.
Not long after An Huijuan took Xiao Anan away, Lin Xiuwu also took his children and grandchildren to the outer courtyard. I guess they still had their own arrangements and programs.
Lin Yuan is very energetic. She is making trouble for Lin Wan to guess riddles and win prizes. Lin Wan naturally wants to satisfy her little wish.
Besides, in order to give Lin Yuan a happy holiday, Lin Wan had already made arrangements before.
Lin Wan asked Lin Yuan to pick a lantern she liked, and then took Lin Yuan under the lantern.
Lin Yuan’s vision is quite good. This lantern can be said to be the most beautiful and dazzling lantern in the entire garden. At this moment, several people have gathered under the lanterns.
Since this lamp is the most beautiful and dazzling lamp in the garden, the riddle is not only very difficult but also two riddles.
"Someone can guess these two riddles." Lin Wan asked with a smile as she looked at the servants surrounded by the lanterns.
Everyone shook their heads, and some people wailed, "This lantern is really beautiful, but none of these two lantern riddles can be guessed."
Since that's the case, Lin Wan decided to let Lin Yuan get what she wanted, so she signaled Dongxue to pick up Lin Yuan and asked Lin Yuan to reveal the two riddles on the lanterns themselves.
According to Lin Wan's pre-announced regulations on the riddle guessing process, if the riddle is revealed and the correct riddle cannot be answered, not only will it not be able to get the lanterns and prizes, but it will also have to accept corresponding punishment.
It is precisely this regulation that although everyone wants to win lanterns and prizes, the gardens of Zhennan Hou Mansion are always in chaos and not in chaos at this moment.
All the riddles today are from the hands of Lin Wan and An Huijuan, and Lin Wan naturally has the answer in her heart.
Of course, if a scholar of Lin Hongfei or Lin Hongyu guesses, it will not be much difficult.
Lin Wan pulled out one of the riddles from Lin Yuan's hand, and the riddles were just four words "The top scorer was the first".
When Lin Wan told the answer to this riddle, except for a few people who suddenly realized it, most of them looked at Lin Wan in a daze. Obviously, not many people understood it.
Lin Wan smiled and looked at the few people who looked suddenly enlightened.
So someone explained to Lin Wan.
People call scholars a high school Jinshi "Climbing the Dragon Gate", and the Jinshi who participates in the palace examination will be divided into several levels. The top scholar is naturally the first level among the Jinshi, namely "A".
The combination of "door" and "A" becomes the answer to the mystery.
After everyone understood the answer to the riddle, Lin Wan took the second riddle from Lin Yuan and read it out loud.
After reading it, I glanced at the more people around me, asked if anyone could answer it, and said that as long as I could answer this riddle, the lantern and the prizes I paid would still belong to it.
Someone tried to report the answer, but unfortunately he couldn't tell the correct answer.
About a quarter of an hour later, seeing that no one could give the correct answer, Lin Wan calmly revealed the correct answer and asked someone to take off the lantern and give it to Xiao Lin Yuan, who had already been looking forward to it.
Lin Yuan got the lantern she liked, but she didn't even look at the prize attached to the lantern. She showed off her lantern in front of Cai, which made Cai very happy.
There are lanterns above in the garden, and each lantern has riddles and each has its own prizes. Although there are quite a few people who come to the garden to guess riddles, their knowledge is limited. Until Cai urges Lin Wan to take Lin Yuan back to Qingyunju to rest, most of the riddles were still not guessed.
Before Lin Wan left the garden, she whispered to the spring grass that stayed in the garden to distribute the prizes. At the appropriate time, she could reveal some clues about riddles so that everyone could gain something and share this wonderful festival.
Chuncao nodded repeatedly.
After hearing this, Cai was naturally happy to accept Lin Wan's considerate arrangement. In order to avoid the occurrence of unsatisfied people and causing unnecessary disputes, two maids from Ci'anyuan were specially left to serve as helpers for Chuncao.
Lin Wan took Lin Yuan to send Cai back to Ci'anyuan first, and then the two sisters returned to Qingyunju with a lantern.
This excitement in the garden did not take much time, and it was only three o'clock that Lin Wan's sisters returned to Qingyunju.
I thought that the sisters who went out to watch the lanterns must have fun before they could come back. What Lin Wan didn't expect was that she had just taken Lin Yuan back to Qingyunju before she had time to wash Lin Yuan, she heard Lin Na's voice coming downstairs.
Lin Wan was very confused. Today, Lin Wenbo originally planned to keep Lin Na in the mansion, but he couldn't resist Lin Na, so he had to let her go out to watch the lanterns with Lin Jing and the others.
