After Xiao Nan and his entourage entered the flower street, Song Nuo, who was the first, did not stop at the first few riddle shops, but dragged Xiao Nan with one hand and Lin Zhi with the other, ran all the way until he walked to one of the three-story riddle shops before stopping, and pointed to this shop and said: "That's it, let's guess the riddle lantern tonight." ā
Xiao Nan stared at it, and found that this shop has a sense of standing out from the crowd compared with the shops on the left and right, Flower Street is an elegant street, and most of the ordinary people here sell pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and there are a total of eleven shops in the whole line, except for two high-end silk shops, and a lantern shop, the others are all pen, ink, paper, inkstone or book-related items.
The distance between each shop is about forty or fifty meters, and the other shops are mostly two-storey, only this one is three-storey, and it is exactly in the middle, and its left and right sides, no more and no less, exactly five shops each. It covers an area of about 200 square meters, and on the door flat on the second floor, it is written in Yan style: "Yunhu Qingzhai" four big characters.
There are not many riddle lanterns in their house, there are one or two hundred riddle lanterns of different colors hung in front of the shop, but this shop only hangs three or six, these thirty-six colored lanterns are divided into three layers of hanging, twelve on each floor, and according to the different divisions of color, the lights that are colorful but just right to blend together are reflected down, and the three-story shop is reflected like a sea floor in general, which is quite a bit of an unreal dream.
Although there are not many riddle lights in this store, but the number of people gathered at the door of their house is the most, Xiao Nan only took a cursory look, and he could estimate that the flow of people gathered in the store at this time was no less than two hundred, unlike the situation of other stores, these people gathered together, quite quiet, everyone seemed to be watching and figuring out the riddle lanterns hanging in front of the store, no one began to guess the riddle, and no one made noise.
"Nuo Niang, are you sure you want to guess the mystery of this house?" Song Haoting stood on the periphery of "Yunhu Qingzhai", he first raised his eyes and glanced at the dense flow of people around the shop, and then turned to look at Song Nuo, and said with a wry smile.
"Of course, since we want to guess the lantern riddles, we have to choose the most difficult store, otherwise how can we show your ability as a talented man." Song Nuo grimaced at him, and said with a natural expression, the bitter smile on Song Haoting's face deepened a little when he heard the sound, he turned his gaze a little unnaturally, reached out and touched his nose, in order to hide the discomfort in his heart.
"What's going on, is there anything special about this shop?" Xiao Nan was a little confused by the two brothers and sisters, and couldn't help but ask, there will be too many people in front of the store, and they are standing on the periphery and have not yet entered.
"Of course it's special, auntie, let me tell you, the shopkeeper of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is amazing, since she entered the city five years ago to open this shop, the riddle of the annual lantern festival, her family's thirty-six riddle lights, no one has ever been able to guess more than ten, including my brother and his self-righteous classmates and friends." Song Nuo smiled on her face, and when she said this, she didn't forget to glance at her eldest brother with a narrow face.
Xiao Nan listened a little funny, it turned out that Song Nuo knew that Song Haoting had eaten here for a long time, but he still dragged him here, it seemed that he intended to toss his brother, but in his heart he was curious about "Yunhu Qingzhai", every thirty Chinese New Year's Eve, no one could take off its crown for five years, it seems that the treasurer of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is really a little unusual.
"But I don't know who the shopkeeper of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is? What is the reward for guessing all 36 riddles correctly? Xiao Nan's mind fell here, and he asked again.
"The shopkeeper of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is a little lady, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, surnamed Zhao, she is very beautiful, her rules for guessing riddles are a little different from other people's houses, other people's shops will be open four times a year, but her house is only open twice, one is the Lantern Festival, and one is the last lantern festival at the end of the year, that is, this time of day."
"In the lantern riddle shop, as long as the guest guesses ten riddles in a row, he will give a beautiful gift, but she has no such rule, unless someone can guess all the thirty-six riddle lanterns, there will be additional gifts, otherwise, no matter who it is, can only get the corresponding lantern."
"Despite this, if it weren't for the fact that her lantern riddle is too difficult, most of the people in the city will flock into their house, presumably you have also seen it, the lanterns of "Yunhu Qingzhai" are not the same as the lights of other homes, although there are only thirty-six lamps in their house, but when it comes to colorful colors, there is no shop in the entire flower street that can be compared with theirs, and a lamp in other people's homes costs up to forty or fifty yuan, but the cost of each lamp in her house is not less than one hundred and fifty yuan, from the selection of materials, to workmanship, to do the preparation of colors, It's all the best of the best. ā
"These are not the point, the real focus is their prize, Mrs. Zhao has promised, no matter who it is, as long as she can guess all the riddles of the thirty-six people in her store, she will give her a set of four treasures of the study, these four treasures include a good white jade purple pen, a piece of pine smoke ink, a white inkstone, a knife on good paper, plus a set of "Linchuan Collection" written by Yan Zhenqing." Song Nuo's eyes lit up, and he was extremely excited.
