Chapter 343: Guessing the riddle
As the saying goes, "children are the treasures of their parents", which parents don't love their children?
Lan Xin's tolerance and generosity made people in the warm hall, whether they had children or not, very moved their hearts, and a sincere smile appeared on their faces. Some even gave birth to the heroism of those who were confidants and died.
Mother Zhen peeked at the change in the expressions on everyone's faces, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, these people are really easy to retract! The girl's methods are also getting more and more sophisticated! Raising her eyes and looking at Lan Xin, who looked at herself, she was shocked: The girl can't have no other ideas, right? How can this be done? She has no defense against the people around her, what if it is ······
Alas, Jane's mother shook her head to herself, what was wrong with herself? Really, after being away for so long, she still couldn't change her conspiracy theory. This is Jiangzhou, and it's not in that place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, so what if they don't calculate? Besides, with herself by her side and watching her for her, these people can't make big waves!
The cold wind blew lightly, and Jane's mother suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and she also woke up from her trance. Squinting his eyes, looking at Lan Xinqiao's smiling side face, he secretly wondered in his heart: When did you have feelings for this little girl?
Who came out of that place alive is not accustomed to seeing life and death, accustomed to indifference, how many open guns and hidden arrows have been evaded, and countless conspiracies and tricks have escaped? No matter how warm the smile on his face is, his heart will always be cold. Her heart was unconsciously warmed, which surprised Zhen's mother and at the same time made her a little scared······
Maybe because of the drinking, everyone lost their restraint and gradually let go. Talking and laughing, it's so lively! Steward Meng's face turned red because he had drunk, but his eyes were shrewd. Seeing that there were a few people around him who were drinking their tongues, they said with a smile: "Girl, the old slave respects the girl with a cup, and thanks that person for his hospitality and love." ”
Lan Xin saw that although his face was flushed, he was really confident when he spoke, and his eyes were clear, so he didn't stop him, so he let Red Sleeves fill the wine glass, and said "Please!" and accompanied a glass. He knew that Steward Meng must have something to say behind him, so he waited quietly with a light smile on his face.
"Hehe!" Steward Meng said with a smile after drinking the wine in the cup, "The girl's wine is mellow and elegant, light and refreshing, and it is rare to see good wine! The old slave took advantage of the wine to ask the girl for a cup of tea. ”
Lan Xin couldn't help laughing, she glanced at the few people who were drunk lightly, and knew that Steward Meng did this because she didn't want them to do anything indecent for a while. Lan Xin could not live up to his good intentions, and said with a smile: "It's me who didn't think about it, serve tea!" nodded towards Hongxuan.
Hongxuan first commanded a few little girls to come in and clean up the scraps on the table. A few people watched drunken as their wine jars were taken away, and they were a little reluctant to reach out and grab them. Steward Meng glanced over, and Guo Xi and Tong Dachuan stopped them quietly. Seeing that those people didn't make any more trouble, I was secretly relieved.
The children didn't have any idea, and the pure meat-filled dumplings had already made their little bellies round. Besides, after the wine and meat were removed, there was not only tea, but also citrus, apples, bananas, and dried fruits such as chestnuts, pine nuts, and hazelnuts. Not to mention that these children were curious, even those adults did not expect that the girl would bring so much fruit. In short, everyone's face was overflowing with smiles.
After tasting a cup of tea, Lan Xin said with a smile: "It's rare for everyone to get together, it's not interesting to sit like this, there is still a period of time before the fireworks, why don't you have a lively time together." Everyone had no opinion and looked at it curiously. Lan Xin continued, "The sign under this lantern has lantern riddles written on them, so let's guess the lantern riddles." If you guess correctly, you will be rewarded with the back of the card. Moreover, for the five people who guessed correctly, I also prepared an additional gift. ”
"Okay, okay, listen to the girl's arrangement. Everyone laughed and said. In fact, there are not many of these people who have read books, and they are not much interested in games such as guessing lantern riddles, but it is not good to save Lan Xin's face, so he has to cater to him. The children were different, their eyes were shining, and they looked eager to try.
Lan Xin nodded at Qinghe, who walked to a nearby lantern, tore the paper on the sign, and read aloud: "Red rooster, green tail, body burrowed underground." ”
"Carrot!" As soon as Qinghe's words fell, a crisp voice sounded, which turned out to be the nine-year-old granddaughter of the Guo family. The crowd looked at the articulate little girl with surprise or delight, and the room fell silent for a moment. The little girl was frightened by the sudden silence, and writhed uneasily, and her eyes were red.
Qinghe was also bluffed, and only reacted when she saw the little girl's eyes red. She tore open the other side of the sign and said with a smile: "This little sister is right, and the answer is carrots." What you get is a beaded flower. ”
Red Sleeves put a red beaded flower into the little girl's hand, and the little girl's cheeks were red with joy, like a ripe red apple, very cute.
Everyone else looked at the red bead flower with envy, and their hearts were full of energy, and the next one would definitely not fall behind others. "Alright, let's listen to this one again. Qinghe smiled and said, "Wan Nianqing." ”
While everyone was frowning and pondering, Meng Youfa's youngest grandson, Meng Zhuo, stood up and said unhurriedly: "Sister Qinghe, I have an answer here, I don't know if it's right?"
Qinghe raised his eyebrows in surprise, glanced at Lan Xin, and said with a smile: "Then you can talk about it." "Immortality. Meng Zhuo replied in a loud voice. Qinghe tore open the mystery behind him and said with a smile: "Yes, it is immortality." A bonus for a pack of pine nut candy. After speaking, I couldn't help but look at Lan Xin suspiciously, this riddle is a bit difficult, why did the girl only give a packet of pine nut candy?
After Meng Zhuo took the pine nut candy in the red sleeve's hand, he thanked him with a smile, his face was not disappointed because of the amount of reward, and he was not proud of answering the question correctly. Lan Xin looked at Meng Zhuo, who was sharing pine nut candy with the people around him, and a smile of unknown meaning rose at the corner of his mouth······
