Chapter 54: Guessing the Lantern Riddle (1st Update)
The sixteen lanterns in Huaxinfang show the characteristics of their brand, the smaller lanterns representing the shape of flowers for 12 months, and then the Chang'e Running to the Moon lantern, the Hundred Flowers Blooming Lantern, the Hundred Birds Rising to the Phoenix Lantern, and the Sendai Pavilion Lantern. Two of the twelve lanterns have been guessed away, and the four large lanterns are still hanging there, and one has not moved.
"I'm not boasting, but our lanterns are beautiful." The little brother said very proudly, "But our lantern riddles are also difficult, they are all made by our owner himself, there were a few Jinshi masters to guess before, and it took a long time to guess one, or ordinary flower lanterns, not the highest level of fairy palace lanterns." ”
The fairy palace pavilion lantern is indeed particularly exquisite, the three-layer fairy palace tied with colored satin is on the top of the lantern, very exquisite, the windows of each floor can be opened, there are jade carved villains inside, the demeanor is different, in addition to the feast, there are also playing the piano, singing, painting, enjoying the scenery of the fairy current, and so on. Under Asgard, there are clouds of blue and white satin, and around Asgard are a variety of flowers, the center of which is a candle in a glass cover. I don't know what kind of candle this lantern is lit, not only is there no smoke, but there is also a faint fragrance.
The number of people around this lantern is also the most, the inner three layers and the outer three layers, but they may not expect to be able to guess the lantern riddle and win away the lantern, but more are poor people who can't read words.
However, guessing the lantern riddle does not necessarily have to be guessed around the lantern, there are other lantern riddles on the guy's side, and Yin Susu doesn't look at the others. directly asked the little brother to ask for the lantern riddle of the Sendai lantern, which caused the little brother to be surprised.
"Do you want this girl to take a look at something else first, that is really difficult, the old man of Tanhua Wang didn't guess it the year before last."
"It's okay." Yin Susu shook her head. Asked the guy to hand over the riddle, and after looking at it, he wrote two words on the paper. handed it over, "Let's see if it's this?" ”
The guy didn't care about it at first, but when he saw it, he was shocked, "You guessed it right!" ”
Although he was a little reluctant, the guy still went to get the lantern of the fairy palace, and the people watching around the lantern were even more reluctant, and asked the guy one by one who guessed it. There were also a few children who were pulling on the man's thighs and wouldn't let the man take off the lantern.
Seeing that the guy was going to call his companions to help seal the crowd, Lin Yu sighed lightly, stepped forward and said to the guy, "Forget it." We'll pick it up when the lanterns are gone, you can hang it for the time being, but don't let people win again. ”
It's good to be able to continue to hang it, why didn't the guy agree, and hurriedly smiled, "No, we will definitely leave a good gift for you, do you win the prize and take it away now or will you take it away with the lantern?" ”
"Let's get it later, Qingqing. Sister Susu, let's continue shopping, I see that there is a lantern in front of me that is so beautiful. ”
"Let's go, I heard you say, there's a good snack in front of you?" Yin Susu glanced at Lin Yu and smiled slightly. It's a pity that her smile is so captivating that no one can see it.
"yes, yes, I haven't eaten enough in the afternoon, and there are twenty or thirty more that I haven't tasted."
"It's so edible, be careful to become a fat woman." Qingqing joked, "When the time comes, I won't be able to marry Lu to see how you cry." ”
"I don't want to get married, I'm not without money, why should I marry someone else's housework and become a yellow-faced woman?" Lin Yu pouted, "Don't mention these things, can't you go shopping?" ”
Qingqing has always had nothing to do with Lin Yu, so she followed her, while Yin Susu was wondering about the truth of Lin Yu's words, could it be that she didn't want to marry because she was hit too hard?
Lin Yu doesn't care much about this, she always feels that the conceptual problems she has to face when marrying an ancient person are more troublesome than foreign-related marriages, she is not the kind that has lived in ancient times since she was a child, and if she really wants to get into trouble, it is better not to do it at all. Therefore, a few people surrounded a stall selling some silk flowers and other gadgets.
"Qingqing, you see that the silk flowers sold here are better than the one we bought last time." Lin Yu took a camellia and looked at it lovingly, "Buy a few and give them to the crescent moon, how about a few of them who didn't come out to play in the full moon?" ”
"It's fine, but let's pick and choose." Qingqing nodded, "It's night, and the color is not accurate." ”
"Girl, I don't like to hear what you say, my family has a shop, a time-honored brand." The boss was not very happy, "Our family has also made silk tweed, how can there be a color that is not good-looking." ”
"It's not that the color of your house is not good." Lin Yu said with a smile, "It's just that the colors that several girls like are different, I'm afraid I chose the wrong one." ”
The boss was a little convinced, but he still helped Lin Yu pick a few. Not to mention, this boss's vision is really good, and the few ones he picked are very beautiful, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "Then boss, you can help me pick two, I wear them myself." ”
The two silk flowers that Lin Yu bought last time looked good in the box, and there was always something wrong with wearing them.
The boss looked at Lin Yu carefully, and Fang smiled, "The lights weren't on just now, and I didn't pay much attention to it, the little girl is very beautiful, you are naturally a little incongruous when you wear such an ordinary silk flower, I'll show you a good thing." ”
The boss took out a small box from behind him and opened it to Lin Yu to see, inside was a pair of beautiful white lily of the valley, each lily of the valley flower seemed to exude a faint warm brilliance, clean and elegant as if made of jade, and the stamen of the lily of the valley was made of real crystal, and it was a small crystal bell.
Lin Yu was cautious when he held it in his hand and watched, "Is it really a silk flower?" Why is this pretty? ”
"This is naturally a silk flower, and it was originally intended to be a sample, but the steward eunuch in the palace disliked it too plainly and didn't like it, so he stayed. Little girl, if you buy silk tweed in the future, or buy those red and purple colors, as the saying goes, vulgar becomes elegant, or buy such a plain one, in line with your tranquil temperament. ”
"How much is this for lily of the valley?" Qingqing asked.
"I won't take much more from you. Give me two taels of silver, and you will take it. The boss spoke.
"What? Two two? Lin Yu asked in surprise, "So expensive?" ”
Ordinary people don't need two taels of silver a month, pork ten to fifteen wen a catty, and if you go to the river to buy fish, you can buy three wen and five wen a catty. Ten yuan of vegetables is enough for Lin Yu and they can't eat for a day, Lin Yu looked at the beautiful silk flowers in his hand, and thought about it again. I still plan not to buy it, I don't want Qingqing to suddenly speak.
"We bought it." Qingqing took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it over, and immediately smiled, "But the boss wants to give us a few more flowers as an additive." ”
"This is natural." After successfully completing this business, the boss smiled and said, "The eight flowers you chose should be added to the head, how about it?" Send two more pairs of baby orchids. Perfect for this pretty little girl. ”
"You don't have much money right now, so why spend this money." Lin Yu sighed, but Qingqing had already paid, and she didn't rush to pay the bill. "Later, the spice shop opened and made money. I don't care how much you like to spend. ”
"It's said that there are some jewelry, but the ordinary gold and silver jewelry is too heavy for you to wear, and it's not convenient to do things on weekdays." Qingqing replied, "You really don't look good when you wear ordinary silk flowers, young girls can't really wear jinghai cloth skirts, right?" And there is no shortage of money, but this pair of lily of the valley flowers is good, although I am not rich, but there is no place to spend money on weekdays, what is it to buy a flower. ”
After all, it is Qingqing's mind. Lin Yu didn't refuse again, in fact, he complained twice, but he still liked it in his heart. Especially she likes lily of the valley very much, the flower language of lily of the valley is also very pleasing to her, lily of the valley means happiness, who doesn't want to be able to cross the better in the future?
The two grinded for a while by the silk flower stall. turned his head and found that Yin Susu was gone, no wonder he didn't make any remarks for a long time, and not only Yin Susu was gone, but the daughter-in-law she brought was also gone.
"Which of you has seen Mrs. Yin?" Qingqing turned her head and asked Pearl and Moonlight.
"I'm embarrassed to say, I almost didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't tell us, don't be crowded, maybe they went back in advance."
"If you really go back, you should say it, there should be a lot of people, and it will be scattered for a while." Lin Yu frowned, but he didn't worry, even Yahuan's daughter-in-law's family Ding Yin Susu was at least ** person by her side. If you are separated from Yin Susu, those people will always be there, and they will definitely tell yourself. If you either go shopping by yourself, or you have something to do and walk away temporarily. Especially Lin Yu knows that Yin Susu has a close relationship with many big nobles and even the royal family, if there is any secret thing that is not easy to say, it is possible for Yin Susu to leave directly. Lin Yu instinctively remembered the eldest princess of Panyang's "give her some color and see", and he didn't know if Lu Dao had anything to do with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Lin Yu and Qingqing thought about it, and continued to walk along the street, during which they also won two lanterns and handed them to the pearl and moonlight, and then the two of them went to watch the hundred operas on the stage for a while. Lin Yu is still a little interested in ancient music, but she is not interested in those singing operas at all, and juggling can't attract her interest. However, Qingqing, a native of the country, still sees it with relish, and it is estimated that it is also exciting.
The two of them have been playing until almost the middle of the month, and it is estimated that the crowd will really start to disperse if they don't leave, so they will go back, and they will all go back if it is too late, I am afraid that too many people will really be washed away. And the shopkeeper of Hanashinbo still owes them a Sendai lantern.
Lin Yu and Qingqing walked over, and a lot of people around the lanterns had already dispersed, although there were still many onlookers, less than a quarter of the peak. But the lad was not easy, for it was clear that he had an argument with one of the guests.
The guy was arguing with a young man with a slender back, dressed very luxuriously, and the horses behind him were also very powerful, but he was now facing away from Lin Yu, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was another handsome guy in ancient times.
The guy's sharp eyes saw Lin Yu coming, and hurriedly said, "I said before that someone had guessed it, but you still don't believe it, no, the main master is here." ”
The boy looked back, under the illumination of a string of lanterns in Huaxinfang, the light was still bright, and after Lin Yu saw his face clearly, he was suddenly shocked, and the words he was about to say also stopped in his mouth.
