"Wonderful." Mr. Tian tapped the palm of his hand with a small fan, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss has a beautiful face, she is a celestial being, and she has such talent. Tian admires it. The two ladies, please go upstairs."

Lin Wanrong gave the young lady a thumbs up, Xiao Yuruo blushed slightly, glanced at him, took his sister's hand and said, "Yushuang, let's go up and have a look."

Mr. Tian took the lead to lead the way, led the two ladies upstairs, and talked to them from time to time. He was gentle and courteous. He talked for a long time, but he kept the etiquette. He didn't ask the lady's name. Personable, people have a good impression.

As Lin Wanrong, he could only walk at the end. He smiled indifferently and followed behind a few people.

When I went upstairs, there was already a din of people, applause, and charming laughter.

Lin Wanrong looked up, and saw that the environment of Yunlai Fairyland was elegant and elegant, with simple and elegant layout, with lanterns hanging everywhere, and the lights were bright and elegant. There are many tables in the hall, forming a circle, young masters and young ladies sitting in twos and threes sitting in front of the table, writing letters, composing poems, and playing the piano, it is very lively.

Seeing Mr. Tian coming, several young talents came over and clasped their fists and said, "Brother Tian, why are you late, you are fined with alcohol, three cups of alcohol."

Tian Wenjing smiled and bowed and said: "Some things were delayed just now, so I am late, colleagues, don't blame me."

The women who were laughing also stopped making noise and walked over to salute with a smile. When one of the women saw the Xiao family sisters beside Mr. Tian, she was shocked and said, "Mr. Tian, this is the elder sister and sister you found somewhere. She is so beautiful, hehe—"

Tian Wenjing nodded and smiled: "These two are ladies from Jinling. Not only are they beautiful in appearance, they are also superior in talent and learning, and Tian is also very admired." He glanced at the eldest lady with a smile and said: "Oh. I haven't asked the two young ladies' names."

This Mr. Tian is a caring person, he doesn't ask his name in private, but when there are so many people, he asks, the words come out naturally. But it is also impossible to refuse.

The eldest lady is from a business background, she nodded and said: "The little girl's surname is Xiao, her name is Yuruo, this is my younger sister Yushuang. Fang came from Jinling. Because I admire the reputation of this Yunlai fairyland, I would like to disturb you. Please also, gentlemen. Miss forgive me."

Mr. Tian said: "Miss Xiao, don't be polite, you have come upstairs." He told the story of the lantern riddle just now. Everyone praised her, but the eldest lady felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Wanrong came to this restaurant for the purpose of visiting, but he was a little disappointed when he saw that there was no staircase leading to the top.

There was a faint fragrance of orchids in the air, and no one could smell it. Lin Wanrong is extremely sensitive. This orchid perfume was brewed by him himself, so he is naturally very familiar with it. Only the eldest lady and the second lady used the perfume in the building here. Besides, both her sisters and Madam Xiao love rose perfume, only Qingxuan uses the unique orchid perfume.

He took a few strong sniffs. Overjoyed, I hurriedly searched around.

The upper floor is open and everyone can clearly see it. Lin Wanrong approached the window slowly, the faint fragrance seemed to come from the roof. He leaned out to look around, only to see the moonlight like water, extremely quiet, where to find Qingxuan's shadow. Thinking of the Bingdi lotus lantern, Lin Wanrong was stunned for a while, it turned out that Qingxuan really came.

Mr. Tian was very attentive and introduced all the young masters and young ladies of Jinghua College to the young lady one by one. The eldest lady thought that these are precious human resources when she is operating in Beijing in the future, so she naturally saw them with a smile.

Mr. Tian was even more happy when he saw Miss Xiao from Jinling, who was gentle, reasonable, beautiful and generous, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, these are all well-known talents and beauties in Jinghua College, and they have well-read poems and books. There are also talented students, and some of them have been in the imperial court to attend the political discussions, and they are the future pillars of my Dahua. There are two more who have not yet arrived. These two are famous talents and beauties in Beijing. Zhisheng is second to none, I will introduce them to you later.

This Mr. Tian was so enthusiastic when we first met, the eldest lady was also a little embarrassed, she nodded her thanks and said, "Mr. Tian is full of knowledge, he is humble, and has a great demeanor. Who is your son

A young man named Yu Hang next to him smiled and said: "Miss Xiao, don't you know that our Brother Tian Wenjing is the son of Mr. Tian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a real descendant of a famous family.

"Oh?" The lady was surprised: "It turns out that it is Mr. Tian's son, the little girl has lost sight of Mount Tai.

Tian Wenjing hastily said modestly: "Miss Xiao is joking. My father has repeatedly taught Wen Jing to be modest, not to bully others, and not to bully the weak. Keep a low profile." He had a humble face, but a hint of color flashed in his eyes.

Although Lin Wanrong was concerned about Qingxuan, he couldn't help but snicker when he heard Mr. Tian's words. low key? You kid is really low-key, much more low-key than me.

The eldest lady smiled slightly, and she was not as eager as Tian Wenjing imagined. This made Mr. Tian a little disappointed, but he became more interested.

Seeing that Lin Wanrong was depressed and silent, the eldest lady came over quietly, grabbed his sleeve and said softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Wanrong raised her head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry, miss, let's have dinner—your treat today!"

The eldest lady snorted slightly: "Eat whatever you want, no one can tie you up."

Before going upstairs, the "low-key" Mr. Tian said that he would be the host tonight. He knew that this Mr. wanted to curry favor with the eldest lady, and he would be taken advantage of. Lin Wanrong was not polite, and ordered a few expensive ones.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood today, the eldest lady held the jug and poured out half of the wine before handing it to him and saying: "Don't drink too much today, be careful of mistakes."

Seeing Miss Xiao being so polite to a servant, Mr. Tian over there was slightly taken aback. The Mr. Yu Hang next to him saw it, rolled his eyes, and thought about it.

Yu Hang stood up, patted the table and said, "Everyone, since Brother Ye and Ms. Zhiqing haven't arrived yet, let's have some fun first. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It's that time for viewing lanterns and guessing lantern riddles. Brother, don't you?" Just then, I threw bricks and stones at it to come up with a riddle, and guess it with everyone. My riddle is, pigs, fine wine, cat toddler, and I guess something in this hall."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall burst into laughter. The servant of the Xiao family was pouring fine wine into a cup and wanted to taste it. This young master Yuhang picked up this allusion, indicating that he was guessing something in the hall. It was to humiliate this servant of the Xiao family on purpose.

Seeing that his hidden mystery has been appreciated by everyone, Yu Hang pulled his robe, clasped his fists around proudly, and said with a smile: "Acceptance, acceptance." The monkeys that make people laugh.

There is no need to guess the answer to this riddle, everyone knows who it is talking about. While everyone was laughing and laughing, the eldest lady was about to stand up with an angry face, when Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, took her hand and said, "Let me do it, I'm the best at this."

Second Miss heard these people insulting Lin San, she was already furious, she held Lin San tightly by the hand and said: "Bad guys, teach them a lesson."

Lin Wanrong scratched her little hand, stood up and said with a long smile, "Young Master Yuhangyu, isn't he, a good name and a good manner. Just now you came up with this riddle. I'm stupid, but I can't understand it."

Yu Hang smiled contemptuously and said, "You can't understand even if you measure it. A vulgar servant, taking the guest out of the way, how can there be a place for you to sit in front of the master?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Whether I sit or not is not up to you. Mr. Yu is talented, I can't figure out your riddle. But I also have a lantern riddle, I don't know if Mr. Yu can solve it. Your lantern riddle is Pigs, fine wine, cats toddler, my riddle is called, ape stretches its arms and a dog bows, which corresponds to your sentence, and it is also a guess about something in this hall."

Everyone was stunned, but the second young lady of the Xiao family burst out laughing. Scolding and scolding again, Lin San's sentence is perfect!

The talented man named Yu Hang blushed and was speechless. The princes and ladies of Jinghua College looked at each other, and no one dared to laugh out loud. Unexpectedly, in this Xiao family, not only the young lady is extremely talented, but even a servant is so witty, it really cannot be underestimated.

Lin Wanrong walked back to her table, and the eldest lady said lightly, "You'll be messing around." But her face turned into a flower with a smile.

Tian Wenjing, who was silent, saw the cold scene in front of him, so he smiled and said: "It was just a small joke, everyone, don't mind. Today is the lantern viewing and guessing riddle, so let's start with the lanterns hanging in this hall. Look Have you seen the jade tassels hanging under the lantern? Different colors represent different levels of difficulty. There are three colors: orange, red, and blue. Orange is the most difficult. It is a puzzle created by Miss Zhiqing herself. The difficulty can be imagined .”

As soon as they heard that it was Miss Zhiqing who came up with the riddle, everyone in the hall showed excited yet timid expressions. Lin Wanrong didn't know who this Miss Zhiqing was, so she pulled La Yuruo and said, "Dear Miss, is Miss Zhiqing a tiger? Why do so many people change color?"

The eldest lady didn't speak, but Yushuang smiled and said: "I know, it must be this elder sister Zhiqing who is pedantic, and everyone can't answer the questions she asked, so they respect and fear her. Hmph, even a woman You can’t even guess the questions, these people are too courageous, you are still a bad person, you have the ability.”

Lin Wanrong smiled, and leaned into her ear and whispered: "Why don't you come up with a few riddles and let me guess. If you guess correctly, you will be punished by me. If you fail to guess correctly, you will punish me with a kiss." ,how?"

The second lady gave a soft pooh, and the eldest lady also blushed when she heard it. However, the three of them had to put on a serious look in front of others, which made them nervous and a little irritating at the same time.
