Chapter 35, Lantern Riddle (Medium)

"But I don't know what Yang Erlangjun wants to bet on?" Song Haoting's eyes narrowed slightly, he raised his eyes to meet Yang Erlang's gaze, and answered with a calm face, Song Haoting, as the eldest grandson of Hongwei Dart Bureau, can't act as recklessly as Song Nuo, his words and deeds outside have to take into account the possible impact on the dart game, and he doesn't want to offend the young man surnamed Yang in front of him unless he has to.

Although the Song family has a lot of influence in Song County and Wulin, but their family is only a merchant, and has no official body, this Yang family is different, the second son of Yang is a branch of the Yang family of the Luoyang family, and the Luoyang Yang family has an inseparable relationship with the Hongnong Yang family, the Hongnong Yang family rose from the Han Dynasty, and has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and the Longxi Li family, Taiyuan Wang family, Qinghe Cui family, Chenjun Xie family, etc.

Such a family background, even if it is just a branch in a branch, Song Haoting does not want to grudge with others for no reason, of course, the relationship between him and Yang Erlang before was not harmonious, but fortunately, these are just a battle of righteousness between young people, and will not escalate to the contradiction between families.

"Let's bet on who solves more riddles of "Yunhu Qingzhai" tonight?" Yang Erlangjun rolled his eyes and said.

"But you don't know how to bet on the gambling money?" Song Haoting raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I heard that there are two treasures in the Hongwei Dart Bureau, one is the Chengying Sword inherited by the Song family, and the other is the "Zang Huaike Monument" and "Oriental Shuo Painting Praise Monument" collected by the Song Zong Dart Head, if you lose, you only need to take one of these two treasures to me, how about it?" Yang Erlang said with a smile.

Song Haoting frowned when he heard this, it was just a small gambling game to guess lantern riddles, but Yang Erlang pulled the gambling money to the height of the family's treasure, what did he want to do? Although Song Haoting is not rigid, he is by no means a fool, he is unwilling to take such a bet to bet against Yang Erlang, but it is inconvenient to refuse in front of so many people, and his mind has turned around, and he has already said: "What if you lose?" ”

"It's very simple, if I lose, I'll take my old man's collection of Cold Moon, or Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Stickers", you can choose one of the two, how about it?" Yang Erlang raised his eyebrows and said.

Song Haoting's brows did not stretch when he heard this, but wrinkled more and more tightly, whether it was his own family's Chengying Sword or the Yang family's Cold Moon Knife, if it was exported, it would no longer be the righteous dispute between their juniors, could it be that Yang Erlang was deflated on his hands several times, and he had a grudge in his heart, so he deliberately dug a pit and waited for himself?

Song Haoting was annoyed, but he couldn't say anything to refuse, Yang Erlang's gambling conditions did not make him suffer, and countless eyes around him converged on the two of them, if he rejected Yang Erlang's gamble at this time, it wouldn't be long before he, the new Xie Yuan of Song County, would become the laughing stock of the entire Song County.

Just when Song Haoting was in a dilemma and hesitated, a pleasant female voice came into their ears from afar: "Hehe, the two Langjun are good Yaxing, the quiz in our store has not officially started, but you have already started to close the game first, why don't you Zhao Liu also come and join in the fun?" If the two Lang Jun can solve the thirty-six puzzles of our store tonight, how about "Yunhu Qingzhai" in addition to the original prizes, plus the dragon sparrow in my Zhao Liu's hand? ”

As soon as she said this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly exploded like a lit cannon candle, Xiao Nan turned her eyes with everyone, and saw a woman in a purple fox cloak separated the crowd in front of the store, and walked out of "Hu Yun Qingzhai", she was quite tall, about 1.72 meters or so, her appearance was extremely beautiful, and she contained an inexplicable extravagance all over her body, at first glance she was only in her early twenties, but her deep and thorough eyes seemed to have gone through all the vicissitudes of life, and she could see through countless worlds, people with such eyes, said that her actual age should be much older than her appearance, and this woman is the shopkeeper Zhao of "Yunhu Qingzhai".

Song Nuo and Lin Zhi are both extremely good-looking beauties, in terms of appearance alone, they are not necessarily much worse than this woman, but when the two of them stand beside her, they can only be reduced to foils, and the light emitted by this woman is too dazzling.

"Now that the shopkeeper Zhao has opened his mouth, it seems a little too much if I don't admit it anymore, Yang Erlangjun, I will take your gamble." As soon as the shopkeeper Zhao came out, the eyes of all the pedestrians around the "Hu Yun Qingzhai" store converged on her, Song and Yang, and Song Haoran, who couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, now had no choice but to take it.

Song Nuo, who has always been bold, couldn't help but sweat for her brother on the side at this time, although her temper was a little impatient, but she was not confused at all, this surnamed Yang and Song Haoting were both students of Fengxiu Academy in this county, three years older than Song Haoting, but they had been pressed by Song Haoting, and they were quite unconvinced, and they were admitted to Xiucai with Song Haoting last year, Song Haoting ranked first and became the county's Xie Yuan, but he was only ranked fifth, so that Yang Erlang's resentment was deeper.

She unconsciously glanced at the scribe beside Yang Erlang, anxious, but knew that she must not talk nonsense at this time, disrupting Song Haoting's position, so she had to forcibly endure it.

"Okay, in that case, tonight's quiz will start with the two sons, which of you will come first?" Shopkeeper Zhao smiled slightly, and said lightly, as soon as she said this, the guests of "Yunhu Qingzhai" automatically lined up on both sides and gave way to the middle road.

"Song Dalangjun, how about you come first?" Yang Erlang's eyes turned on the few people around Song Haoting, and said quite generously, although the riddle of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is not easy to guess, but the first few are not difficult for students like Song Haoting who have already made a name for themselves, Yang Erlang is willing to let Song Haoting take the lead, which is a little surprising.

"That being the case, Haoting is disrespectful." Song Haoting glanced at him, didn't say anything, he didn't choose, and pointed directly at the first riddle lamp on the left hand, and the riddle was quickly taken down, but he saw that this riddle lamp read: "The opening will ring at noon, the sunset will be on the crescent moon, the grass on the head for ten days, or three aside, guess the name of a person." ”

"Xuchang Gou Yu!" Song Haoting pondered slightly, and quickly said the answer, this is a proverb of Cao Cao's seeking talent, Song Haoting can become a county Xie Yuan, he will not eat dry rice, and he soon found the answer from the historical records and essays he read.

Song Haoting answered a question first, and then it was Yang Erlang's turn, Yang Erlang also easily answered the second question, the two of you come and go, but with a pillar of incense, you can solve the twelve riddle lamps on the first floor, six for one person, almost didn't take much time to pause, after all the twelve riddle lamps on the first floor are solved, not to mention the other audiences around "Yunhu Qingzhai", even Song Haoting himself couldn't help but stay stunned, is it true that people have no pressure and no motivation? He has more than once added the riddles of "Yunhu Qingzhai", but none of them has been so brave in solving the riddles.
