Chapter 117 - The name is called Ten Thousand Faces
The others just glanced at them inexplicably, and continued to look at Mu Xiang with interest.
The old man was shrewd, and his voice was only audible to him and the young man.
"Look, who are those two people in the fourth alley?"
"Are you stupid? who knows who they are with masks. β
"But judging by the behavior, it should also be a young person. β
"Soon, they stayed in the thirtieth shop for less than ten breaths. β
"This ...... It's gone again. If it weren't for the fourth wooden alley, and like the other wooden alleys, the fewer people there were, and I wonder if the riddles inside are all very simple. β
"Look, in the sixth alley, the people at the front have reached the forty-third shop. β
"It's actually a woman, if I'm not mistaken, over the decades, although some women have entered the Phoenix Pavilion, there hasn't been a woman in the first place, right?"
"Yes, it doesn't. β
The people outside were talking, and the woman in the sixth wooden alley took the forty-third small token. After looking at the front and back, there were five shops closest to her.
Looking to the left and right, in the fourth and sixth alleys, the person in front was only forty, and his eyes were not without pride.
As he walked towards the forty-fourth shop, he whispered.
"Ben Gong... I thought it would be fun to guess the lantern riddles in Hulu City, but it turned out that it was like this, brother, they were really, and they would talk nonsense. β
She has a nice voice, just a slightly different tone from the others.
In the ninth wooden alley, only Lu Caiwen was left by Ying Xuemei's side, and the two of them and more than ten other people stood in front of the fortieth shop.
Bao Xing couldn't answer in front of the second shop, and Xiao Lu, who hadn't stopped in front of the thirtieth shop since he was a child, accidentally stopped at the fifth wooden box.
When she left, in addition to being sorry, there was a little pride and happiness in Ying Xuemei's eyes.
After so many years, it was finally her turn to leave Ying Xuemei behind.
Of course, this is at the behest of Ying Xuemei.
Ying Xuemei swept the riddle, wrote down the answer, and was about to hand it over, when the skirt was gently pulled.
Pretending not to notice, he didn't pause in his movements and handed over the answer.
No surprises, get a small token again. She was about to walk forward when she felt the hem of her skirt tighten tightly.
Helpless, he could only look at Lu Caiwen.
Lu Caiwen wrote a poem on the hem of her skirt with his other hand, and then looked at her with an inquiring gaze.
That's right, when I got here, the riddle I guessed had changed from guessing a word to guessing a poem.
The people who come here, without exception, are either young ladies from wealthy families who like to study classics, or sons from poor families who have studied hard for a long time.
The riddle that Lu Caiwen solved was 'Zi Tui was willing to burn the unjust marquis, and he wrote a poem', and the answer he wrote down was 'the result is impermanent'.
Ying Xuemei nodded, and Lu Caiwen let go.
Ying Xuemei walked to the next shop, and a voice came from behind: "Childe, your answer is wrong. Thirty-nine small tokens can be worth three taels of silver, please choose an object. β
A good-looking arc, slightly hooked.
Feeling that there was a pair of angry eyes in the fortieth shop that kept looking at her back, she didn't take it seriously.
She doesn't care even if she goes out, let alone here?
The Yang family once told Jiuzhi about the matter here, and asked for a plaque to suppress the people of the world.
At that time, the Yang family was in full swing, as long as it was inconsequential, it was just a process.
The plaque that tells the world that you can know your heart without saying anything was written by Jiuzhi himself. The implication is given by the Yang family.
The Yang family stipulates that 'except for the night of the lantern riddle party, at other times, you are not allowed to speak after crossing the plaque, and those who violate it will be punished as appropriate. ', 'Those who enter the wooden alley to guess the lantern riddles, from the saints of today to the poor and lowly grass people, are not allowed to engage in favoritism, and if they are found, they will be killed!'.
There are many other regulations, but with the loss of power of the Yang family, the effectiveness has almost disappeared.
Although it is no longer effective, the public opinion in the world still makes the larger the family, the more concerned it is.
Yesterday, Lu Caiwen couldn't help but speak, and last night he received a letter from the capital that was sent to him urgently.
What was specifically said in the letter, except for Lu Huachun, who wrote the letter, and Lu Caiwen, who read the letter, no one else knew what was written in it.
Lu Caiwen threw down ten taels of silver in anger, didn't take anything, looked at Ying Xuemei's back fiercely, and left directly.
......
"The last riddle is really difficult, and the woman in the fifth passage has already stopped half-burnt incense. β
"The rest of the Alley came from behind, and in addition to the fourth and ninth, there were also people in the other Alley who had reached the last shop, and I wonder who would be the winner of the crown this year. β
"It would be fun if the people in the fourth or ninth alley came back and came in first. It is said that in every wooden alley this year, there are so many people wearing masks among the people who reach the front. β
"I found out too. In previous years, others were afraid that others would not know, but this year it seems that others are afraid of knowing. β
"HeyβI don't know. β
At the forty-fifth shop, Yang Zan did his best and had to turn around and leave.
"Childe, we are waiting for you in the old place. β
"This mask is useless, you take it with you. β
Yang Fengqing They are the first two in the fourth wooden alley, and their every move is in the eyes of many people.
Seeing him put his hand on the mask, Deng Shi became interested. Many of the women in the crowd were secretly nervous.
After the annual lantern riddle party, it is the outbreak period of marriage, as for why, cough cough - those who understand naturally understand.
But when he took the mask off, everyone was disappointed.
The women who were secretly nervous before looked at Yang Fengqing and clenched their fists unconsciously.
There are also some men who are more impatient, and after being disappointed, they only have anger and helplessness.
"I-who the hell is this man?"
"He didn't mean to play with us, did he?"
"Under a mask, there is even a mask?! This man is sick, right?!
Yang Fengqing took off the monkey mask, and there was a mask with blood and tears in the corners of his eyes and laughing.
On closer inspection, there is some absurdity and horror.
Some noisy crowds gradually calmed down.
There was no need to wait for Yang Zan any longer, but after more than a dozen breaths, Yang Fengqing crossed over two shops, and some people in the crowd exclaimed.
"Look at the man-faced, after taking off the outermost monkey mask, he passed two shops in a row. β
Many of the people who felt that they were being teased by Yang Fengqing didn't pay attention to him anymore, and when they heard the shouting, they all looked over again.
Yang Fengqing walked to the forty-eighth shop, just glanced at it, picked up the pen and ink to write down the answer, handed it over, got a small token, and flowed like eating and drinking.
