Chapter Seventy-Six: Guess the Lantern Riddle
Wrapped in the flow of people, he went all the way forward, until he came to the venue of the Lantern Festival, that is, the place where the big gathering was set on weekdays, and the flow of people was dispersed.
Raising his hand to wipe the sweat squeezed out by the crowd, Wu Tianrou let out a long sigh of relief. This son can be regarded as having seen the power of human flow, and in this New Year's month, she can actually be squeezed out of a body of sweat.
"Alas, it looks like they won't be able to come over for a while, so I'd better take a walk by myself first."
Looking up at the road, there are still a lot of people, but according to the footsteps of the county lord Qianqian, it is estimated that they will not come so quickly.
There are people all around, there are many vendors selling things, and there are people everywhere, and the noise is so loud that people can't hear it clearly.
Holding a lantern depicting a lotus pattern in one hand and a fox mask in the other, Wu Tianrou looked around curiously and interestedly.
Although it is a lifetime of rebirth, this is the first time that I have participated in the lantern festival by myself like this. There was no one around her, not even the guards who were hidden in the shadows, and this feeling made her feel a little nervous and very novel.
After watching the juggling for a while, the crowd walked a short distance before coming to the most lively place of the lantern festival.
The streets are lined with lanterns of all kinds, including fairy lanterns, flower and animal lanterns, and the most popular marquee.
This marquee is very exquisite, the four sides of the painting is the most famous Tianshui Simei story, with the marquee slowly turning, the characters on it seem to come to life, attracting a lot of children to come to watch.
Of course, the largest number of people around is the place to guess the lantern riddles.
There is a huge lantern gate here, and when people walk in, there is a sea of lanterns, and under each lantern is a small sign with the number of the lantern and a riddle written on it. During the time of one pillar of incense, everyone can participate in the activity of guessing lantern riddles.
Participants only need to memorize the number of the lantern they guessed, and then tell the person who has guessed the riddle to the person who claimed the prize, and the person who claims the prize will tell them whether the answer is correct or not.
If the answer is correct, the numbered lantern will belong to the person who guessed correctly, and the vacant spot will be replaced with a new lantern with a riddle.
If you guess more lanterns correctly, there will be other rewards for reaching a certain number. If the answer is incorrect, wait for the next person who guesses correctly.
There are also several prizes for guessing the lantern riddles, and the most guessed reward is a set of four treasures of the superior study, and the prize for the second place is the marquee of the four beauties of Tianshui, and the reward for the third place is a box of rouge of Huayan Pavilion. Fourth to tenth place is a consolation prize, a very cute bunny lamp.
Looking at the prizes, Wu Tianrou walked in with great interest, looked at a few lanterns at random, and found that the riddles on them involved a lot of things, except for some of the names of poets and people, most of them were about the most common things in life.
"Look at the beautiful scenery in the painting (type)."
Casually stopping under a lantern, Wu Tianrou gently read a sentence on the sign under the lantern.
"Hehe, isn't this just the word 'Tian'."
"Well, this 'leaning on the tall building, accompanied by the spring rain, listening to the sound of the piano', type. The high-rise building is wood, the oblique is a skimm, the spring rain is the spring sun, and listening to the sound of the piano is the pronunciation of the piano...... Isn't this the word 'Qin', hehe, it's a bit interesting! ”
"The bamboo falls square and three-leafed, and the moon is oblique and half a forest. Typing. Bamboo fall is the prefix of bamboo, half of the forest is wood, three-leaf ......, the original is the word "color". ”
"This one, 'half hairy and half hairless, half up the mountain to eat grass, half down the water and waves', type. Hehe, isn't it 'fresh'! ”
Walking all the way, although she guessed a lot of mysteries, Wu Tianrou didn't write down any of them, she just wanted to see them, and she didn't think about redeeming any prizes.
Just as she was about to continue walking forward, she suddenly felt the hem of her skirt be tugged. Wu Tianrou looked back and turned out to be a six or seven-year-old girl.
"Sister, it's okay for you to make a louder voice, I can't hear clearly."
The little girl combed her two little claws and paws, and looked at Wu Tianrou with a pair of big eyes, looking very cute.
Behind the little girl, there was a boy in his early teens, who saw Wu Tianrou looking over and hurriedly hid the carbon branch and coarse yellow paper in his hand behind him.
"I, we didn't eavesdrop on your mystery......"
The little boy's face turned red, and a pair of eyes were nervous and didn't dare to look at Wu Tianrou.
"Sister, I eavesdropped on my sister's mystery. My sister is so good, she can guess a lot of riddles, our family is poor, and we can't afford to buy the four treasures of the study, I want to get the first place so that my brother can use those good paper and pencils. ”
Gently pulled the corner of Wu Tianrou's skirt, and the little girl also looked at Wu Tianrou a little timidly.
Through the bright light of the lantern, Wu Tianrou saw that the little girl and the boy were wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, although they also had patches, but they were very clean.
"It's nothing, if you want to write down the mystery, my sister doesn't want to redeem the huàn reward."
Bending down, Wu Tianrou smiled and touched the little girl's hair.
"Really? Can we follow my sister then? ”
Looking at Wu Tianrou hopefully, the little girl's hands tightly pulled the corners of her clothes, and even the boy who stood behind without making a sound raised his head nervously.
"Yes, I'll guess the riddle, you write it down. By the way, what's your name? Can you write these words? ”
The latter question, Wu Tianrou asked looking at the little boy.
"Yes, my master and I have been learning words for two years, and we basically know all the words."
He nodded quickly, and the little boy's face was full of excited smiles. In fact, he didn't say it, he just made an exception because the master had a good heart, so he made an exception and let him sit in for two years.
"My name is Su Hu, and my sister's name is Xiaoyan."
"Okay, come, Xiaoyan, let's move on."
Nodding towards Xiaohu, Wu Tianrou stretched out her hand to hold Xiaoyan's little hand and walked forward slowly.
Watching the lantern riddles all the way, guessing the riddles, and then waiting for Xiaohu to record them on the yellow paper one by one with carbon branches, trying to guess everything he could guess, and when he walked around and returned to the light gate, Wu Tianrou turned his head to look at Xiaohu.
"How many riddles are there?"
"Sister Xiaorou, there are already fifty-one answers, which is more than half of them here."
I couldn't hide the happiness on my face, because Xiaohu had calculated, and many people guessed a few and left, and it was no surprise that they would not go on a business trip if they got the first place.
"It's almost time, let's go out."
Glancing at the incense not far away, the burning time of this incense stick is about half an hour, and now it is almost finished, and it is time to go out. (To be continued.) )
