Chapter 170 Lantern Festival .

Zhu Wenlong led the two of them upstairs, turning back from time to time to talk to them. He spoke for a long time and seemed polite and somewhat humorous. In terms of eloquence, he was quite outstanding.

Going up to the third floor, there were several private rooms filled with noise, laughter and cheers.

Li An looked up and observed the environment in the restaurant. These were all subconscious actions, and he was cautious because of many unexpected things. He saw that the interior layout was very grand and simple, with lanterns of various colors and shapes hanging everywhere, which looked brightly lit and very elegant. There were many round tables and stools in the lobby, and many people were sitting around the tables, with the four treasures of the study placed on them. Some were writing, and some were playing the piano. It was so lively!

Seeing Zhu Wenlong coming, two people came forward to greet him.

The few of them must be very familiar with each other. They clasped their fists and bowed, then said, "Brother Zhu, why are you here just now? You are late and you will have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty!"

Zhu Wenlong smiled and bowed in response, "I was delayed by some trivial matters just now, so I came late, but by chance I met two interesting people."

The two followed Zhu Wenlong's gaze and looked at Zhan Doudou and the other person beside him. Their drunken minds suddenly cleared up and they said in surprise, "Brother Zhu, which family did you find this young lady from? She's so beautiful!"

Zhu Wenlong nodded slightly: "These two are both from Shangjing City. Not only are they handsome, but they are also talented and knowledgeable. I admire them very much, so I invited you to come together." This Mr. Zhu was playing a trick. There were many people at this time, and most of them were students from Shangjing College, with extraordinary family backgrounds. If he asked the other party's name at this time, the other party would surely not be able to refuse, so he smiled and asked Zhan Doudou: "I know Mr. Li, but I haven't asked this lady's name yet?"

Zhu Wenlong had such good eyesight that he didn't know whether the girl in front of him was a virgin or not. As someone who frequented the entertainment industry, he could tell from her eyes and eyebrows at a glance. As for the nonsense that the man surnamed Li had said before, Zhu Wenlong didn't take it to heart.

Zhan Doudou's heart moved, and she also became interested in seeing what the sons and daughters of the officials in the court were like. Born in the royal family, she was not afraid of the stage, so she nodded and said, "My surname is Wu, and I am from Shangjing. Today I followed Master Zhu to see him. I apologize for disturbing you."

She didn't say her last name was Zhan. After all, there was only one family in Shangjing City with that last name - that was the royal family.

The word "Wu" can be split into "Zhi Ge" (stop the war), which is the opposite of the word "Zhan" (zhan), which means "take the lead".

Zhu Wenlong said, "Miss Wu, why do you have to be so polite? You and Mr. Li are both talented and knowledgeable people. It is only right for you to attend this meeting. How can it be presumptuous?" After that, he told everyone about what had just happened. The conversation between several people also attracted the attention of people around them. Everyone who heard it praised them, while Zhan Doudou accepted it indifferently.

Li An held the treasure lantern and looked around. After seeing the layout of the upper floor for a long time, he could only come to the conclusion that it was elegant. He was a little disappointed and didn't know if there would be any program later. It seemed that today's lantern date would end in vain. It was obvious that Zhan Doudou's occupational disease had recurred. She came upstairs for a purpose, and it was not as simple as being hungry and wanting to eat.

After asking a waiter to deposit the treasured lantern in the restaurant, Li An went to the window and looked out. He saw the moonlight like water, the crowds of people, and the atmosphere of fireworks.

Zhu Wenlong very attentively introduced all the young men and women of Shangjing College to Zhan Doudou one by one. Zhan Doudou smiled and nodded from time to time, and matched their fathers one by one in her mind.

"You are all well-educated, talented, and handsome. So you are all sons of famous families in the court? You are all descendants of famous families. I am the one who didn't recognize you!"

Everyone hurriedly said modestly, and Zhu Wenlong was even more anxious: "Miss Wu, you are joking. My father has repeatedly taught me to be a humble and friendly person, and not to bully the weak. Wenlong has always acted in accordance with my father's wishes. He is usually humble and low-key!"

Li An was observant and attentive, and this sentence did not escape his ears. He could not help but chuckle. The competitive Mr. Zhu downstairs just now seemed really low-key. Zhan Doudou ignored Zhu Wenlong's slightly smug smile, and instead glanced at Li Anlai who was in a bad mood because his date was interrupted.

Zhu Wenlong was inexplicably annoyed when he saw this scene. He gave a look to the others at the table. Everyone saw this and immediately a man named Ji Hang stood up. His eyes flickered and a plan came to his mind. He tapped the table twice to attract everyone's attention and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival. Since the two masters have not returned from the palace banquet, how about we find something to do and have some fun?"

"I am not very talented, but I have found a riddle here to start your discussion. You may try to guess it!"

"The pig is drinking fine wine and the cat is imitating its steps. I guess it is something in this lobby." After saying that, he deliberately looked towards Li An by the window. He was indeed a man who was attentive to words and expressions.

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room was overjoyed. The reason was simple: wasn't thirsty Li An raising his glass to drink? Ji Hang used this as a topic to mock Zhu Wenlong and save face.

Who made Ang Lee act so aloof and unsociable, retreating to the window to drink by himself and not wanting to talk to anyone?
The answer to this riddle was very simple, and everyone knew it was the word "monkey". They also guessed Ji Hang's intention to humiliate Li An, and they all praised him.

Ji Hang stroked his long sleeves, creating a gust of wind. He smiled proudly and clasped his fists to the people around him, saying, "Thank you for the compliment. Thank you for the compliment!" He was skinny and not very tall, but his clothes were loose. With this action, he looked like a real monkey bowing, which made people laugh.

Zhan Doudou looked at Ji Hang, anger flashed across his eyes, but he remembered the names of several people in his heart.

Ang Lee was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be the one to suffer the consequences of watching a show and eating melons. He should have thought of it earlier. Isn't this the case because his female companion is too beautiful?
"Interesting, I also have a riddle here, I wonder if Master Ji can guess it?"

Li An laughed loudly and walked over with a wine glass.

Ji Hang smiled contemptuously. He didn't take Zhu Wenlong's words about the two people's extraordinary literary talent to heart. If there were any famous people in Shangjing, he couldn't be unfamiliar with them. At the very least, he had heard of their names. But the person in front of him didn't even match their name.

"That's funny, tell me about it!" Ji Hang was very confident.

"Pigs make fine wine and cats learn to walk. It's really interesting. My riddle happens to correspond to it. It's called: A monkey stretches out its broken arm and a dog bows! Hey, it's also a guess about an object in the hall."

The young men and ladies present were all startled, and some of the ladies who couldn't help but laugh burst out laughing, their bodies trembling and their faces flushed. Ji Hang first scolded someone for drinking, and was immediately mocked and bowed, which was a tit-for-tat.

After hearing this, everyone thought to themselves that this was amazing!
Zhu Wenlong knew that this young master surnamed Li had a quick wit and should not be underestimated!

Only Zhan Doudou looked calm and composed, as if she wasn't worried or surprised by Li Ang at all. The smile on her face was like a flower that was about to bloom.

The scene became a little cold for a moment.
