New widow

Chapter 415 Guessing the Riddle

Su Du looked at Zhou Le. Zhou Le had already changed out of his old exquisite clothes and put on a small eye patch to hide his face. Feeling Su Du looking at him, Zhou Le already smiled: "No wonder so many officials want to return home after reaching similar positions."

When you can no longer move up, returning home is naturally a good choice. There are fields and houses in the countryside, and the flattery of the gentry.

For many officials, this is a big temptation.

"If he hadn't returned home, there wouldn't have been all these troubles." Song Zhen couldn't help but pursed her lips, and held Zhou Le's arm: "My sister was so frightened." Su Qiao Having coughed lightly, Song Zhen couldn't help but look at Zhang Qing. It seemed that Zhang Qing was the only one here who didn't know about this.

Zhang Qing already smiled: "Miss Song, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about many things."

"I, I'm not..." Song Zhen defended, and then Song Zhen smiled: "I know Zhang Guan is a good person."

"Speaking of it, I'm afraid we won't make a decision until after the Lantern Festival and when the Yamen opens the seal?" Su Qiao asked softly. Su Du nodded: "I've heard that Wang Shangshu wrote many letters. go out."

These letters were naturally sent to various places. It is conceivable what Wang Shangshu wrote in the letters, which was nothing more than a plea for mercy.

"What a pity!" Su Qiao sighed softly. The root cause of the whole matter lies with Wang Shangshu. If he hadn't taken a concubine when he was old, or if he hadn't taken a concubine and given birth to a son and pampered him, these things would not have happened. It will happen, and Wang Shangshu will not grow old and his reputation will be ruined.

But in this matter,

The ones who received the most severe punishment were Prince Wang and Aunt Du, mother and son. Suqiao can be sure that as long as Wang Shangshu makes a righteous move to kill relatives, everyone will still praise him.

Just like, it was Master Kuang who clearly married another man without telling his wife, but when Mrs. Li found out about it, for the sake of her own reputation and her children, she had to endure it and help hide it. A woman's life, death, honor and disgrace are tied to a man. This is really the most unreasonable principle in the world.

Su Du didn't speak anymore, Zhang Qing already said with a smile: "There is a teahouse in front of us, why not go to the teahouse and sit for a while, it will take some time to get rid of the disease."

All diseases have to wait until the moon reaches its zenith, and then the women will go to the bridge in groups to walk. At this moment, although the moon has risen, it has not yet reached its zenith.

"Okay." Song Zhen agreed first, and Su Qiao also smiled: "I think grandma is tired after being away for a while, so let's go to the teahouse first."

Everyone walked to the teahouse. When the waiter saw Su Du and Zhang Qing, he hurriedly packed up a huge private room and came out. Sitting there, he could still see what was going on downstairs.

"Look, there's a riddle hanging on the lamp in that house. Why don't we also guess and see if we can get some prizes." Now that we have come to the teahouse, we no longer have to worry about bumping into others. Song Zhen and Wan'er People crawled by the window and looked outside. Song Zhen pointed at the lucky houses and asked excitedly.

"Goodbye, it would be bad if we fail to guess correctly." Wan'er was still hesitating, Su Qiao had already smiled: "Since you want to play, let them go down and get some lantern riddles Come on, let’s guess together.”

"I thought we could go down and have a look." Song Zhen's lips were already pursed, and Su Qiao patted her gently: "There are so many people here today, it's inevitable that we'll bump into each other."

After saying this, Su Qiao called the waiter, grabbed a handful of money and gave it to the waiter, and asked the waiter to go down and get some lantern riddles. The waiter responded with a smile and said: "Speaking of which, we also have lantern riddles. If the girls like it, just send our lantern riddles and lanterns up for the girls to enjoy."

"This is a thoughtful thought." Old Mrs. Wan couldn't help but praise, and the waiter also smiled and said: "We have been working in a teahouse here for so many years, so we naturally know what kind of family this kind of person should live and what kind of life they should really live. of."

After the waiter finished speaking, he ran downstairs. Soon the waiter and another waiter came up carrying several lanterns. These lanterns were all colored lanterns with various stories painted on them. Under the lamps, there were indeed lantern riddles hanging down.

Song Zhen and Wan'er walked to the lantern and looked at the stories carefully. Zhou Le also stood up, picked up the lantern riddles and looked at them carefully. Song Zhen already smiled and said: "Sister, you have great talent, you can Let us, I have already guessed this lantern riddle, you can guess the difficult ones first."

"You are the most naughty." Zhou Le said to Song Zhen with a smile and put down the riddle. Song Zhen took off the riddle and said, "It's a word."

Suqiao looked at the riddle, one point at a time, a ladder on the wall, the tiger...

Before Suqiao finished reading, Wan'er said with a smile: "It's a word, the word "gao", sister, am I right?"

"Yes, it's just that this riddle is too simple." Su Qiao praised it, and then looked at the riddle that Zhou Le was looking at. Zhou Le frowned slightly: "This is really true.

It was riddles written by men, full of bad words. "

"Yuhuan marries Wang Yun and names a place." Su Qiao thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but shake her head: "It's really a riddle created by men."

"In this way, the riddles in the teahouse are always easier to guess. Unlike the literati gathering, those riddles are difficult to guess." Su Du also came over to read a few riddles, smiled and said to Su Qiao, Su Qiao nodded: "I I heard that at gatherings of literati, there are also rolling curtains."

"It's not just that." Zhou Le has finished guessing all the riddles. There is paper and pen on the table. Wan'er loves to write recently, so he told Wan'er to write out the answers to the riddles one by one. At this moment, he heard Su Qiao and When Su Du spoke, Zhou Le couldn't help but interrupt: "It's lonely in the boudoir. After the sisters read, they would write poems and paintings together, but they were all written in the boudoir and could not be transmitted to the outside. So they would ponder and write a few riddles all day long. Let everyone guess. I remember..."

Then Zhou Le paused slightly: "Now that I think about it, it's just a matter of boredom. All elegance is something I only figured out after being bored."

Zhou Le's sigh made Su Qiao reach out and hold her hand. Zhou Le had already looked at Su Qiao: "Now, when I think about what I have to do, I feel very happy."

Wan'er had already finished writing the riddles and handed them to Aunt Li, who asked her to take them down and give them to the waiter. When Zhou Le said this, Wan'er's head nodded: "Isn't this bad?"

"It's not bad, but..." Zhou Le knew that he could not convince Wan'er, so he only reached out and stroked Wan'er's hair: "Maybe you will understand later."

"In the future!" Wan'er's big eyes were shining again, Suqiao looked at Wan'er

Son, a carefree girl like Wan'er is rare.
