Sheng Weiwei proposed to let Sheng Sleeping Crane guess the riddle on her behalf, Sheng Weiqiao was very troubled, and she didn't even want to agree, but when she planned to pull Sheng Weiwei away, she looked at the little girl's face full of grievances, and looked back at those riddles step by step, and her heart softened.

After all, at this time, it is rare for a girl to have a chance to go out, even if Sheng Weiwei is still young, she is still a little old from getting married, but after missing tonight's play, she will return to Nanfeng County in a few days, even if the family allows her to go out to see the lights during the Lantern Festival next year, how can it be compared with Chang'an?

Unless this little cousin marries Chang'an in the future, according to common sense, tonight may be the last time Sheng Weiyu will witness the splendor of the Chang'an Lantern Festival in her life.

Thinking so, Sheng Weiqiao sighed secretly, stood still, and asked Sheng Sleeping Crane coldly: "Do you guess that lantern riddles are good at?"

Sheng Sleeping Crane Heart said, even if Lao Tzu really doesn't know anything at this time, maybe he can't be good at it?

Without hesitation, he said, "Of course!"

“…… Let's go back and try it. Sheng Weiqiao looked at Sheng Weiwei, who instantly turned into joy and burst into a bright smile, the depression in her heart was somewhat reduced, she touched her sister's little face, and advised, "Wait until you will always follow me, don't run around, lest there be more people crowding you!"

Sheng Weiwei happily agreed, and couldn't wait to pull her hand and walk back.

In this way, at the insistence of the little girl, the group turned back to the store, and when the guards stepped forward to separate the crowd with brute force, many people were still very dissatisfied, but seeing that Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei were both girls with exquisite eyebrows and eyes and gorgeous clothes, this kind of discussion was much less, after all, these two girls could be pampered at a glance, and it was impossible to squeeze around with ordinary people.

Look at the sleeping crane behind the formation, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, a robe with a dark embroidered cormorant pattern under the sable fur, a golden crown and a bundle of hair, and a jade finger, obviously the children of rich and noble families traveling.

Not only did the crowd that was squeezed aside stop complaining loudly when they saw it, but the shopkeeper who had just invited guests at the door also rushed forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "A few young ladies and sons, do you want to enter the riddle?"

Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the shopkeeper, similar to the voice she heard outside before, looking at the old man, she was serious and old, her temples were slightly frosty, but her eyes were blazing, her face was kind, and she looked very old and strong and amiable, which reminded her of her grandfather Mrs. Sheng who had been away for a few months, and she had a little good impression in her heart, and bowed her head slightly: "My sister is very interested in lantern riddles, but I am afraid that we are only shallow in learning, and we are smiling and generous." ”

"Miss was humble. The shopkeeper smiled, ordered someone to go in and bring out three octagonal bamboo bone white yarn colored spike lanterns, and said, "The rules of our pavilion, those who enter the store must take this welcome lamp before entering, and please give it a try!"

Looking at this situation, the subordinates don't count.

Also, like Sheng Weiqiao and his party, the maid and the mother-in-law, the housekeeper and the chauffeur combined, there are more than a dozen people, and this is because at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is a heavy place in the street, so all the people in the Sheng Mansion have not been pulled out.

If these people also want to count, they have to guess more than a dozen riddles before entering the door, not to mention the delay in their efforts, it is estimated that this Nightless Pavilion may not be able to come up with these many new riddles?

Sheng Weiqiao thought so, and was a little nervous, because he had never been allowed to participate in the Lantern Festival before, it was this Chang'an Lantern Festival, and the Communist Party of China had only traveled for the third time.

So she has no experience in guessing riddles, and at this moment, she is a little worried, lest she will return with a feather and it will be difficult to step down on the scene.

Simply looked at the three octagonal bamboo bone white yarn colored spike lanterns, and saw a big "one" written on the lantern on the left, and the shopkeeper introduced: "This riddle is an idiom." ”

He pointed to the lantern on the right side, and there was a word "Wu" on the book, and said with a smile, "This riddle is a guess." ”

As for the middle one, it is the word "Danzhu", which is also a guess of a word.

These three riddles are very simple [Note], Sheng Weiqiao, who is ashamed of his talents, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said that he was really hated by Huan Yehe, and the wind was loud after the iron did not become steel, although she did not do any hard work in her homework, but the owner of this night pavilion likes to guess riddles, after all, they are all open to do business, if even the riddles that enter the door are extremely difficult, few people can guess, no matter how high the color is, how can it not be a bird?

Not only is there a lot of people, but they come out to go shopping and watch the lights with great interest, and they are stumped in front of a group of people, and anyone will feel disappointed in their hearts, or even embarrassed and angry, so they are indirectly enmity. As long as the owner here has no problem with his brain, how can he do such a thankless thing? Therefore, it is estimated that not only is the riddle that enters the door simple, but the first floor must also be mixed with a lot of riddles that ordinary people can see through at a glance, so as to make all the guests face.

The real problems, as well as the levels to avoid the loss of the Nightless Pavilion, are estimated to be on the second and third floors.

Thinking like this, she must have said in her heart, and said with a smile: "The idiom is 'one after another', the word on the right is 'Fei', and the one in the middle is 'He', yes or no?"

The shopkeeper personally handed over the three lamps and said with a smile: "Miss Bingxue is smart, please come inside!"

But after saying this, he glanced at the crowd behind them, and said apologetically, "There are many guests in the pavilion, and now there are many lanterns arranged, so to avoid accidents, each person can only bring one person in, and invite three Haihan!"

This is not a difficult thing, Sheng Weiqiao readily agreed, ordered Lu Qi and Tian'er, and Sheng Sleeping Crane asked Gongsun Yingdun to follow, and the others were taken by Sheng Xiang to hang out nearby.

Sheng Weiqiao took the lantern from the shopkeeper's hand, gave Sheng Weiwei a lamp, and gave one to Lu Qi, Lu Qi took it, and she took Sheng Weiwei's arm and walked in.

This made Lu Qi secretly complain, and hurriedly sent the lamp to Sheng Sleeping Crane.

When Sheng Sleeping Crane took the lamp calmly and walked in slowly, Sheng Weiqiao pulled Sheng Weiwei and had already guessed two riddles, one is "Think", typing one word, the riddle is "ten";

The latter one was still Sheng Weiwei guessed correctly, so the little girl was very happy, although this riddle was only resting on a very ordinary four-corner pink yarn palace lamp because of its simplicity, but she still happily asked to buy it on the spot, and personally mentioned it, and handed the octagonal bamboo bone white yarn colored spike lantern to the maid to hold.

…… In addition to the octagonal bamboo bone white yarn colored spike lantern when entering the door, this store is given away if you guess, other lanterns are not so generous, after guessing, if you want, at most a discount, how much to spend silver to buy.

But this is also a reasonable thing, after all, the riddles on this floor, as Sheng Weiqiao thought, many of them are very simple, and they are easy to see at a glance.

In this case, if it's still the same as on some stalls outside, you will be given a ...... if you guess it With the flow of people in Tianjie during the Lantern Festival, they definitely lost not one or two points.

So the strategy they adopted was to give away a bamboo chip engraved with the name of the pavilion for free after guessing correctly, and after collecting thirty sticks, they could go to the stairs and hand it over to the steward, and the steward would check that it was correct, and then let one person go upstairs.

When Sheng Weiqiao guessed correctly that the riddle was "ten", because it was just an ordinary lotus lantern, nothing special, he didn't ask for it, but took the bamboo chip. The four-corner pink yarn palace lamp in the back is also Sheng Weiwei's young age, and it is rare to guess one correctly, so she bought it as a souvenir.

Because the two girls didn't need help, Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't make a sound, only followed silently, occasionally looking at the nearby lantern riddles, but he didn't mean to make a move.

However, when he walked through a marquee, he was illuminated by the colorful lights for a moment, and a pair of young men and women happened to be walking towards this side not far away, and the man in the brocade robe looked up, his eyes were bright, revealing enthusiasm, and before he could walk to him, he raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Hengshu, what a coincidence!"

When Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to salute as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Brother Jisang, it's really a coincidence!"

At this time, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei both turned their backs to them, thinking about the lantern riddle in front of them, and didn't notice this scene. However, the girl who was traveling with the man looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane with some curiosity, and asked in a low voice, "Fifth brother, who is this? I haven't seen it before?"

The brocade-robed man came over first and said to Sheng Shenghe: "The house-sister just passed by this shop and insisted on coming in and guessing a few lamps to go back, but she couldn't help it, but she didn't expect to meet Brother Hengshu here." ”

And he said, "Brother Hengshu Yaxing." ”

"Brother Xian doesn't know, I was also pulled in by my sister. Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled and pointed to Sheng Weiyu behind him, "Originally, I saw that this Nightless Pavilion was crowded with people inside and out, and I wanted to change places." It's a good thing that the eighth sister is young, so we have to join in this fun, we can't do it, so we can only follow in. ”

When the brocade-robed man heard this, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and glanced at Sheng Weiwei a little strangely, but quickly covered it up, and said, "Brother Hengshu, it seems that we are really destined!"

Only then did I have the kung fu to introduce the girl on my side, "This is my third sister, I went out to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for a few days by chance in Layueli before, and I was not in the house, so I haven't met Ling Mei yet." ”

He also said to his third sister, "This is the sleeping crane of Xie Yuansheng of Nanfeng County, the word Hengshu, when he came to Chang'an at the end of last year, accompanied by Mrs. Ning Weihou and Shizi, he came to our house." At that time, there were three young ladies of the Sheng family, but it's a pity that you didn't meet Taocheng. ”

When he said this, although Sheng Sleeping Crane did not leave, Gongsun Yingdun, who was following him, had already hurried over to remind Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwei.

Although Sheng Weiqiao was still deliberately snubbing Sheng Sleeping Crane, in front of others, he was also afraid of being seen as a joke, so he gathered his emotions and came to talk.

It's just that she came over, and when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows: Although she hadn't seen the brother and sister before, she said it so clearly, she knew that it must be the son of Zhao Fu.

The son of the Zhao family, as well as Miss Zhao San, Zhao Taocheng!

Also...... The nephew of the sleeping crane!
