Chapter Five, Thousands of Lamps Light Up the Night in the Camp.

The bright moon stared blankly, where should one begin to answer?

Thus, there was a bright spot on the street. Two pairs of splendidly dressed people, accompanied by a young servant boy, strolled along the street filled with lanterns. The lanterns, like grapes, hung in clusters on the door frames. Every household had decorated their homes with lanterns and streamers, creating a festive atmosphere. The gentle breeze lifted layers of light waves, creating a colorful and magical scene. The bright moon was plucked from a vendor's stall, and a red lotus lantern was purchased and handed to Yan Ruyu.

As Rong turned around and looked at the bright moon behind her, a faint glow that only appears at night scattered on her clear and handsome face, revealing a clean smile. "Actually, today's Lantern Festival is just a special case, only happening this year."

Rong Ruoxiao smiled and said, "Shiwei, you really know a lot." Looking somewhat helpless at the riddles held between his fingers, he murmured, "Can love be forgotten?"

Yan Zhao smiled and said, "Then let's ask the young lady's opinion." He turned his face to Yan Ruyu and said, "Yuer, are you willing?"

After Mingyue finished speaking, she felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making her feel suffocated. She had gotten involved in this matter. Since she had bitten the bullet and agreed to it, she wouldn't be responsible for any consequences.

With a slight smile and a faint distraction between her eyebrows, Rongruo nodded. Bingyue also curiously pulled out a random question and said, "In my arms, there are twenty-five kittens. Can you shoot an idiom?" She raised her head and looked at the classified flower lanterns in front of her, which were also categorized by idioms.

The bright moon nods, and I held Yan Ruyu's hand and said, "With such a virtuous and gentle lady, what more could a husband ask for?"

However, the moon smiled generously, turned around, bowed to Yan Xiaoxing, and prepared to leave the stage. Yan was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "Did Master Lu really leave like this?"

Several people present were indescribable, and for a while, I couldn't figure out why.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, revealing a shy demeanor like that of a daughter. However, her tone was not as gentle and affected as usual for a daughter. "As parents, we should be willing," she said. Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Yan Zhao's smile grew even brighter on her face. She turned to the moon and asked, "Is it possible?"

Only the innkeeper's wife asked back, "What is meant by '铭心'?"

The bright moon smiled. The ice moon and Yan Ruyu, who followed behind, looked at each other. The ice moon said, "Did we miss anything just now?"

"Ah! I really don't know how you can still be so romantic when your influence has declined." Bingyue said with some jealousy. Mingyue reflexively looked at Rongruo, only to see him looking around without paying attention to Bingyue's words.

The bright moon frowned, it's really complicated. She turned to smile: "Today, Lu is going to meet someone to see the lanterns, we can't delay any longer." She turned her mind and ran to Yan Ruyu's side, smiling brightly at her, "Father-in-law, I want Yu'er to accompany me to see the lanterns." There was a mischievous look in her eyes as she grabbed Yan Ruyu's hand, "Is that okay?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head and gave up, saying "I really can't think of anything."

Bingyue was also very curious and looked at Rongruo.

Perhaps it is the entanglement of fate. Bingyue felt dejected, clearly knowing that she had answered incorrectly.

Yan Ruyu gently held this piece of jade and said, "Master Lu, thank you."

The innkeeper's wife saw her appearance and knew that she had denied her own answer. She smiled and looked forward to hearing the answers of others.

... ... The bright moon shivers, what does this mean?

Her face, as fair as white jade, blushed like two red clouds, and she awkwardly turned her head away.

The bright moon led Yan Ruyu off the stage, and the audience burst into applause. She confidently brought Yan Ruyu to the three people in front. The first to speak was Qian Yu, who seemed surprised and said, "Is this it, young master?"

The bright moon paused for a moment, what was its original intention?

Yan Ruyu was taken aback, unsure if the blush on her face was caused by the reflection of the lamp or her natural complexion.

Not to mention me, I am illiterate. Qianyu shook his hands, repeatedly retreated, and declined to answer.

The bright moon gazed for a moment, and then captured her rosy-white jade hand, saying, "As beautiful as jade, you have come with me."

She knows that what she is doing is wrong, but what can she do? She has to do it all, right? Since she has already harmed someone, she might as well harm everyone.

The innkeeper smiled and did not answer, but changed the topic, "This time, you have answered five riddles correctly, and you can enjoy free food, drinks, and entertainment at the small shop. There is one more, shall we continue?"

The innkeeper's wife made a gesture of "please", indicating that the answer was correct. The group of people looked at each other and smiled. However, Rongruo replied with bitterness: "We just got lucky."

Yan looked at his daughter's appearance, but didn't know what he was thinking. He could only smile helplessly and say, "Alright, alright. But please bring the little girl back early, Master Lu."

The innkeeper nodded. Bingyue laughed cheerfully, "It's so simple, let's have another one." This time she chose a different category, mimicking sounds. She opened the paper and read something inexplicably strange: "Listen to the sound of frogs, and say three words?"

Hmm? What's this? " The bright moon was somewhat surprised.

Isn't the sound of a frog "ribbit"? Seeing them struggle so hard, Qianyu couldn't help but express her thoughts. As soon as she spoke, the innkeeper's wife smiled for the first time, saying, "Simply thinking about a problem doesn't necessarily mean a lack of consideration."

No.Yongruo smiled at Bingyue gently, and casually pulled out a seal from under the lamp. Upon opening it, she was slightly taken aback and said, "A seal puzzle?"

As Bingyue looked at Yan Zhao, who had been gazing at the bright moon, she suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "It seems that Master Yan has been captivated by your charming appearance, and has forgotten his original intention."

Rong Ruo said: "This year, His Majesty is blessed with two sons, and the people should celebrate together."

At the end of the eighth year of Kangxi's reign, if Mingyue remembers correctly, it seems that the first son who can truly survive will be born a year later? She mocked herself in her heart, wondering why she cared so much. Mingyue then smiled at Rongruo and said, "It is indeed worth celebrating. Let's play a guessing game." After speaking, she tore off a piece of paper and glanced at it with her fingertips. There was only one word on it, "forget."

She is a bit strange. How can she be so romantic without agreeing with Bingyue?

On the arena, the elegant and charming young man smiled awkwardly and said, "Wouldn't this be unfair to Miss Yan?"

Ice Moon gazes at the sky, murmurs in her mouth: "Hearts are connected?"

When the bright moon heard it, it turned its head and looked at Yan Ruyu. Only to see Yan Ruyu also smiling, "My father prefers handsome young men."

Otherwise, what did you think? The bright moon looked at Yan Zhao in a daze. Yan Zhao's face was filled with a smile, "The young master is staying at Yan Mansion. Yan sent someone to Suzhou to report to your parents even if."

Ice Moon murmured, "Alright, welcome Ruyu to join us. Let's go see the lanterns now. I can't wait." Ice Moon pushed them, forcing them to take a few steps forward.

The bright moon gazed at him, and though Rong Ruo's expression was calm, the burning gaze told her that he was moved. The innkeeper's wife suddenly smiled, "Your guess is quite certain, indeed it is so."

And Yan Ruyu seemed a little hesitant, pulling the sleeves of the bright moon, "Master Lu, do we really have to go?"

Ice Moon smiled, "Why not do what brings you joy?"

The moon supports the forehead, feeling a bit troubled. "Seal riddles are lantern riddles made with seals as the riddle face. The guessing and semantic riddles in the seal part are exactly the same. The difference is that, in addition to the guessing in the seal part, words related to seals, such as carving, engraving, seal, chapter, governance, gold, stone, jade, etc., are also added to the answer. This kind of guessing is more difficult than ordinary lantern riddles because it involves a wide range of vocabulary and requires a certain level of difficulty to guess correctly."

The bright moon gazes at the flower lanterns, attracting attention with their circular shape. It turns out that there are classifications above. She picked out the part that forms a four-character idiom. With a laugh, she said, "If it's an idiom, the character 'wang' above means 'lost' and the character 'xin' below means 'heart'. 'Lost heart' means 'despair', and if we look at the character 'xin' at the bottom, it should mean 'devoted' or 'determined'."

The bright moon also seemed startled. With a blink of her jade-like eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "What is the mystery of the seal?"

At this moment, Rong seems to have found something interesting. He walked slightly faster than the other three and arrived at the entrance of an inn, carefully examining the small pieces of paper on the lanterns.

The bright moon suddenly burst into laughter, "Could it be that this question was intentionally set by the boss lady?"

The innkeeper's wife smiled and said, "Very insightful, yes."

Her face blushed slightly, her brows lowered in shyness.

Lu is still young, and he cannot make decisions about marriage on his own. It's better to do this: "Mingyue pondered for a moment, "Lu should first ask his parents for their opinion. Miss Yan must not be wronged. Being a concubine is absolutely not allowed. After discussing with my parents, I will definitely go to the capital to marry Miss Yan."

The smile that had never opened her mouth revealed a hint of deep meaning. "The person who can produce this seal must have experienced this entanglement." He spoke in a casual tone, but his eyes captured an indescribable melancholy, spreading throughout his body, filled with profound pity.

This is what she has been longing for. Mingyue smiled and arched her hand, "I will definitely come back soon." In order to complete the task, she casually took out a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Yan Ruyu, "This has been passed down in my family for generations. Although it is not a rare treasure, it is just an ordinary jade pendant." Her eyes were extremely serious, "But it has always been passed down with the blessing of 'eternal unity', so..."

Okay. "Do you want to, Mingyue?" She answered for everyone and casually added, "A four-character idiom, 'The light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains?' " She felt a little amused and said, "Smooth sailing, isn't it?"

Young master, this is the answer to the four-character idiom. The innkeeper's wife on the other side of the lantern sat on a chair, pointing to the lantern that the bright moon had just picked.

Always remembered in my heart. The bright moon hesitated and said, when I explained it myself, I felt that it was somewhat inappropriate. The concept of forgetting is subtly different from the concept of engraving in the heart, so it should be incorrect.

Reciting poetry and composing lyrics. Rongruo also smiled along.

Without saying a word, Rong furrowed her brows and entered the inn.

When Rongruo mentioned the seal script, they began to think. Mingyue's mind immediately turned and said, "Is it unforgettable?"

Stepping forward, the bright moon also seemed to look up with some doubt: "This is not the Lantern Festival, just a folk-created festival, why are there riddles?"

Hearts are linked? Allowing the bright moon to recall the tissue paper used in the past, the water-resistant and durable paper, she cherished it.

On his face, Yan's expression lost color due to the words of the bright moon. Perhaps he never imagined that the outcome would be like this. He said calmly, "Alright, but I hope it won't be delayed for too long. When the girl turns sixteen, I will have to marry her off to someone else's husband."

The innkeeper's face showed no emotion, "Has this young gentleman come up with an answer?"

When Rong nods her head, "She was deeply immersed in it without realizing it. Only when it dissipated did she realize that love is unforgettable, leaving behind a deep longing."

The innkeeper's wife smiled meaningfully: "Since our hearts are connected, why do we still love and cannot forget?"

Okay.She gazed attentively at Yan Ruyu, but her thoughts wandered elsewhere. It seemed that the matter had been resolved, but she had "ruined" this beautiful girl.

She furrowed her brows, seemingly deep in thought. Suddenly, a light bulb went off. "It must be impossible to eat twenty-five ratsーーa hundred claws scratching the heart?"
