Chapter 62: Guess the Lamp
As soon as the pipa ended, a long case was carried up, and the maids in one-color dresses walked up to the high platform one by one and placed the lanterns in their hands on the table.
Xie Ning's gaze involuntarily moved over, but when he saw a glow on the high platform, the lanterns and lanterns were all in different forms, but they were very delicate, and he was secretly amazed in his heart. No wonder everyone is so enthusiastic about this lantern, not to mention the heart-warming promise, just looking at such a delicate lantern is enough to make many people flock to it.
"Sister Xie," Wei Qingcheng tugged at Xie Ning's sleeve, "There are so many lanterns, do you like them?" ”
"Hmm," Xie Ning heard the sound, then looked up again, only to feel that every lantern was very good-looking, and he was a little indecisive for a while, so he had to tell the truth: "I think any one is good, but I don't particularly like it." What about you? ”
"I like the one with the jade rabbit painted on it."
The lamp depicts a jade rabbit pounding medicine. Shainin nodded, "It's really interesting." ”
"It's a pity that I'm not good at guessing riddles, otherwise I would have brought it back to the house." Wei Chengcheng looked at the lantern, his eyes slightly darkened.
Wei Qingyang smiled and touched her head, "If you like it, my brother will give it to you if he wins." ”
"Brother Wei wants to go up, why don't you try it with me? Sister Xie doesn't have a favorite lantern, Qingyun, which one do you fancy, I'll go and win it back for you. ”
"I'm the same as Miss Xie," Gu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yan and refused tactfully, "I like them all." ”
After eating the closed door, Xiao Yan pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned to ask Qin Feng, "Ziyue, what about you?" Do you want to go up and guess a game, or do you want me to give you one? ”
Qin Feng smiled slightly, "I don't have to." ”
"Hmph," Xiao Yan turned his head away, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xie Ning and Gu Qingyun with a smile, "Since you think the lamps are good, then I'll give them a try, maybe if you're lucky, you can still get Yunzhilou Yinuo." ”
Qin Feng said coldly: "Do you have enough silver on your body?" ”
"Put it in your account, and then go back and get it." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yan walked towards the high platform, and Wei Qingyang also followed when he saw this, leaving Xie Ning and the three women and Qin Feng at the table.
"Your Highness, what does this guess lamp have to do with silver?" Xie Ning was very puzzled by his conversation with Xiao Yan.
Qin Feng noticed the change in her address in front of people, his eyes moved, and he explained: "Every time you guess, you have to hand over fifty taels of silver first. ”
"Five, fifty taels," Xie Ning looked at the figures waiting in line under the high platform, still in disbelief, "So many people? Even if one person only guesses once, he will earn thousands of taels of silver, right? ”
Gu Qingyun glanced at Xie Ning with a smile, "Miss Xie doesn't know anything, Yun knows Lou Yinuo, how much more than a daughter?" ”
Rao is like this, Xie Ning still can't help but smack his tongue, and he is faintly worried about Xiao Yan in his heart. It's okay to guess correctly, if someone preempts it, won't this silver be spent in vain?
She couldn't help but ask Qin Feng, "Brother Xiao is good at guessing riddles?" ”
"Okay."
Okay, is that good or bad? Xie Ning was about to ask a detailed question, when he was interrupted by the voice of the silver-haired old man - "Today's guess of the lantern starts with the first jade rabbit lantern in the west." If you are interested, come forward to receive the notepaper, and the first to write out the riddle and hand it over to the old man will get this lamp. ”
This is said clearly and clearly, that is, Xie Ning, a foreigner, also knows the rules of Yun Zhilou's guessing lanterns. On the high platform, many people had already received the notepaper and wrote on the carved round table on the side, Xie Ning dodged the shoulder of the person at the front table and looked over, and sure enough, he saw the figures of Wei Qingyang and Xiao Yan, so he smiled and said to Wei Tingcheng: "Two of us have gone up, this jade rabbit lamp must be yours." "She was worried about it before, Wei Qingyang and Xiao Yanju were from a big family, and I expected that the literary style should not be bad.
"My brother has never visited the Lantern Festival, so I can't guess it. It's Brother Xiao, it's very likely-"
"The first puzzle, the Queqiao was built in one day, and a single word was typed." The old man's voice was raised, and he read out the anagram in the lamp, which made Wei Tingcheng stop talking when he heard the voice.
Xie Ning smiled: "This lantern riddle is out of the right place. ”
The two women at the table looked thoughtful and did not respond. Only Qin Feng nodded and said, "Presumably, this year, Yun Zhilou has put a lot of thought into it. ”
Just as the two were discussing, everyone on the stage had already written out the answers, and the silver-haired old man shook his head after reading the letterhead presented by his buddy, but said regretfully: "No one guessed, do you want to give it a try?" ”
Xie Ning frowned and said, "No one guessed it, it seems that this puzzle is indeed difficult to solve." ”
"Brother Xiao didn't guess?"
There was a suspicious voice from Wei Chengcheng in his ears, Xie Ning looked up, and saw Xiao Yan getting off the high platform and walking back.
"Do you have a solution?" couldn't wait to sit down, Xiao Yan came to Qin Feng's side and asked urgently. Xie Ning's heart moved, and when he looked sideways, he saw Xiao Yan winking at her.
The rules of guessing the lamp did not say that others were not allowed to help. Xiao Yan's actions are indeed changeable.
Qin Feng glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "What did you just guess?" ”
"Uh." Xiao Yan was very frank.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, "It should be the word 'warbler'." ”
After getting the answer, Xiao Yan was overjoyed, "I'll go back and rewrite it, Allure, wait for me to bring this lamp, how do you want to thank me?" ”
"Brother Xiao and His Royal Highness King An helped each other, and the city should be thanked."
Xie Ning stared at Wei Qingcheng's reddened cheeks, his heart sank, and when he looked up again, Xiao Yan had already handed over the rewritten note to the old man.
I saw that the old man bowed slightly, and a guy next to him reported loudly: "Xiao Gongzi guessed a lamp, and the Queqiao was built by chance in one day, it is the word 'warbler'!" As soon as the words fell, a maid handed the jade rabbit lamp to Xiao Yan.
After getting the lantern, Xiao Yan walked towards them very casually under the gaze of the whole building, and Wei Qingyang followed him down the high platform, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no displeasure in the look.
The two gradually approached, but Wei Chengcheng stood up abruptly. Her sudden move made Xie Ning's eyebrows jump, and she subconsciously grabbed the arm of the person next to her and stopped her, "Allure, the lanterns will arrive soon, don't you thank Your Highness soon?" ”
Xie Ning gave a look, Wei Tingcheng's face was red, and she felt that she had seen through her thoughts, so she bowed her head to Qin Feng and said, "Thanks to His Highness's suggestion, the little girl can get her wish." ”
Qin Feng chuckled, glanced at Xie Ning without a trace, and said with a pleasant face: "Miss Wei doesn't need to be polite. No one has reported it, so this lamp is not the one chosen tonight, so you can take it home and enjoy it."
While speaking, Xiao Yan and the others had already returned with lanterns. Wei Tingcheng took the lamp and was overjoyed to show it to Xie Ning, but there was a sudden slight movement at the table.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Gu Qingyun's standing figure, Xie Ning retracted his thoughts of appreciating the lantern, followed her line of sight, and asked aloud, "Miss Gu, do you want to guess the lantern too?" ”
"Qingyun," Xiao Yan was the first to speak, "Didn't you just say-"
"I just said that I like all the lamps, and now that I go up, I naturally have to guess the lamps."
