Dong took two children and a few little maids to pick up people in Ningfu after dinner early, Rulin unfortunately had a little typhoid fever, so she said that she would not go to the lamp market with her, and asked Ning Shao to take Dong Dong and follow Dong to play, and sent them four more guards, and told them again and again before daring to let them out.
Ning Shao was depressed, he and a few classmates had made an appointment to go shopping together, and it was not too late to report to his mother before going out, but he didn't expect to be caught by his mother like this, looking at the little meat ball holding his own with a smile, Ning Shao sighed and followed the Dong family.
"Big brother, why are you sighing? Aren't you happy? Dong Dong asked Ning Shao curiously.
"No, I'm so happy." Ning Shao saw that Dong Dong was so colorless, so he didn't answer her angrily.
Dong Dong pouted, "Big brother is talking nonsense, he is too happy to laugh, laughing like grandpa, big brother, you laugh one." ”
“…… Let's go, it's time to remove the lanterns when it's too late. "He couldn't laugh at it.
The streets are crowded, the children are like birds that have been released from their cages, they want to have a few more pairs of eyes, the stalls selling lanterns are one after another, and all kinds of juggling and selling snacks are not showing weakness, and they have occupied a favorable position early, wanting to make a lot of money tonight.
Dong's fully embodies the style of a local tyrant, the children can buy whatever they want, and it doesn't cost a few silver in her opinion anyway. Ning Mu, as the eldest brother of the children, was pestered by a few children, and he had to play with everything he saw, and let him go if he couldn't play.
I just played the ring game, and I took a fancy to a stall that guessed lantern riddles, and I had to let him win back the rarest lotus lantern. This game is barely okay compared to the previous ones, and Ning Mu also has the heart to try his talent.
The stall owner's lanterns are all exquisitely made, with puzzles and colorful heads, attracting a large number of young people to gather.
There was a long rope hanging in front of the stall, and a small three-inch long note folded in half was hung on the rope, and if you didn't open it, you couldn't see the contents, and that was the puzzle. Guess the puzzle for the first time, and then guess it will cost money, each puzzle corresponds to a different color, generally men and women who come out of this day, willing to spend money to play this, even if they don't guess the topic, most of them will buy a lantern here, just have their minds, save face.
Xue Tong was fast, and he ripped off a note when he got up, the boss just handed a color head to a son, and when he saw the one that Xue Tong ripped off, his eyes lit up, "Ho!" Childe, you have good luck, pick the hardest one! ”
Dongdong asked, "How do you know that we are the hardest?" Do you have a mark? ”
The peddler smirked, "This little lady is really smart, she guessed it at once." ”
Dongdong and Xue Yan both leaned over to look at the topic, Xue Tong wrinkled a round little face and scratched his head, "This thing is really difficult, I can't!" Come on, cousin. ”
The surrounding onlookers were curious and asked, "What's the question?" Boy, let's hear it! ”
Ning Shao smiled, took the note, and read aloud, "There are mountains on all sides, and they are connected in two days, with 14 people living in the house, and four or five rushing to the Central Plains." ”
The crowd of onlookers were talking about what it was, and it was much more difficult than the anagram I had just heard.
Ning Shao felt that the answer was right in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it for a while, he was better at learning things, and he lost some of his agility on top of these clever tricks.
There are a lot of people, and the time given is very short, where will the hawker be willing to give time to make people think, if someone takes a note and thinks about it for a day and comes back to ask him for a lottery, won't he cry to death?
At this time, a soft female voice stood out from the crowd of onlookers, "Why are you here?" I've been looking for you for a long time, what is this question? I'll see, it's very simple. As he spoke, he familiarly pulled the note from Ning Shao's hand, and Ning Shao, who was thinking seriously, was stunned by the strange girl who suddenly appeared, and quickly reacted that this girl was helping him out of the siege.
Regardless of whether he needs someone to break the siege or not, her intentions are always good. This girl looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, with a bright and delicate little face, revealing a hearty and powerful energy. An apricot-colored cloak, lined with her porcelain-white face dazzling three points more dazzling than the light.
Ning Shao opened his mouth, "Then I still need you to teach, if you answer, this lotus lamp is yours." ”
The girl's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she heard it, she was already fair and delicate, and this smile was even more delicate and beautiful, "Then you listen well, the mystery is that the four mountain characters are backed by the mountain, the four Sichuan characters are set around the river, the four words are mouth-to-mouth, and the four crosses are upside down." ”
She also used an anagram to answer the anagram just now, although the riddle is the same word, but the riddle is much simpler.
Ning Shao was secretly annoyed that he was too slow to react, and said politely, "But is it a 'Tian' word? ”
"Exactly. You're right, peddler, give him the lotus lantern! The girl asked the vendor to take the lantern down from the height. The hawker's face was a little scornful, and the onlookers followed the blind coaxing, telling the hawker to move quickly, willing to gamble and lose, not reluctant, and so on.
The vendor handed the lantern to Ning Shao, and the girl turned around and was about to beckon her companion to leave, but Ning Shao took the lantern and caught up behind her, "Girl, you won this lantern, it should be yours." ”
The girl excused herself, "Childe's words are bad, it's not that Childe can't guess it, but I usually like guessing games the most, and I just want to get out of it for a while, if I don't come out, Childe can guess it." ”
Ning Shao gave it again, "The girl is talented, she is really too humble, if you don't accept this lamp, I won't ask for it, so I will send those children who don't have lights to play." ”
The girl was a little anxious when she saw him say this, "Eh, don't send it, since you said so, it's better for me to do it, then thank you." ”
After giving each other a salute, the girl followed the two girls who were with her.
One of the chubby girls in green asked her, "Why are you going up up there to help that kid?" Isn't it the handsomeness of looking at people's parents? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just doing you a favor."
Another girl said, "Why don't you help others?" ”
"Hey, you two! It's all fun for me! As he said that he was going to chase and beat the two, the three of them laughed.
The Lantern Festival is a rare day of the year when the whole people enjoy the same festival and there are few taboos.
It wasn't until the girls' backs completely disappeared into the crowd that Ning Shao withdrew his gaze and was ready to continue with everyone, and as soon as he turned his head, he met Dong's teasing gaze, "Eh, our Shao'er has grown up, and there are also girls who secretly send olive branches!" Ning Shao didn't know what an olive branch was, but it was certainly not a good word.
His face was slightly red, ignoring his aunt and sister, and went to his younger brothers and sisters, but Dong didn't give up, "Don't be shy, this is normal, what kind of girl do you like?" The one you just had? Do you want your aunt to inquire about you......"
Ning Shao's steps were faster, and he walked forward with a bang.
Dong Shi looked at him and smiled, thinking that he must talk about this matter with his eldest sister when he has time, it is so funny, Xiaoice Ning Shao will be shy after paying attention to the girl.
