Chapter 51: Guess the lantern riddle
Ten miles of red lanterns hung high, stretching for ten miles, casting light and shadow over the crowd of people coming and going. The various states of life, joys, sorrows, and sorrows are all reflected in the faces of the crowd on the side.
While moving forward, she was also observing the surrounding qiē, although she said to observe, but she did not stop, walking through such streets.
Finally, I came to the bottom of this lamp tower, which is similar to an octagonal attic, with a total of eighteen floors. Each floor is surrounded by different exquisite lanterns, and the light emitted by them is even more dreamlike.
There were still a lot of people coming and going at the entrance of the light tower, and when they walked to the entrance, the personal servant next to Bai Jing immediately stepped forward and gave a bag of copper coins.
Bai Zhen'er noticed that there was a notice posted at the entrance, which said that you need to pay silver money to enter the pavilion, but it is not much, if you want to enter the first floor, you only need to pay a copper coin, and if you add it layer by layer, you need a total of eighteen copper coins.
"How much copper money did my brother give just now?" She was a little curious.
"Guess what?" Bai Jing left the entourage behind him, and only brought a personal maid and a maid and a grandmother beside him.
"I guess it's eighteen copper coins, but I see that the eldest brother gave more than this amount just now." And Bai Zhen'er noticed that Bai Jing set aside some slave entourage, and not only Bai Jing did this, those who had a little status were like this, and only brought a few people.
"In addition to the rules hanging outside, there is also an unwritten rule that a person can only bring a maximum of two retinues, and the price of the entourage is much higher than the price of entering the attic." Bai Jing explained as he walked.
"This rule is a bit interesting, has anyone in this attic ever been to the eighteenth floor?"
"Well, it seems that there was one ten years ago, but the identity is a mystery." The time distance is too long, and Bai Jing has only heard of it.
There are a lot of lanterns on the first floor, but you need to guess the lantern riddle to win the lantern. Now that they're all here, it's natural to go up.
The first level of the lantern fans is naturally not particularly difficult. If you want to go up to the next floor, you must answer the questions asked by the owner of each floor. Bai Jing, Shen Mandarin Duck all answered. As for herself, she must have answered, just some simple riddles.
"With the increase of floors in this light building, the problems inside will be different, for example, the first to the eighth floor are all guessing lantern riddles, but after arriving until the tenth floor, they are all pairs. The difficulty also increases. ”
"Then what's after the tenth floor, you don't know, do you?" Shen Yuanyang suddenly spoke from the side, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was looking for the thorn of the white mirror.
"I don't know, but it's like some people won't even be able to get to the tenth floor after a while. I don't want to be a hindrance. "It's true that Bai Jing has only reached the tenth layer, but most of the people can only reach the eighth layer, and most of the rest are the tenth layer in teams, and those who can reach the tenth layer are already good.
"Brother really didn't go to the next floor?" It was so hard to say, she was a little curious about the level above.
Hearing his sister ask the same, Bai Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really think it can be so simple?" In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the light tower, there are very few people who can go up to the eighteenth floor. Most of our champions of the Ming Dynasty stopped at this tenth layer. ”
"Don't put gold on your face, it's like you've been to the tenth floor." Shen Yuanyang had a weird yin and yang aura and began to spray when he had the opportunity.
"I'll know when the time comes, I'm afraid that someone will stay here at that time."
"What's your business, I just need to stay with my cousin." After Shen Yuanyang finished speaking, he pulled Bai Zhen'er's arm.
"Whatever you want." Bai Jing directly ignored Shen Yuanyang's face and walked in front alone.
made up their minds to go up to the tenth floor to have a look, but the three of them didn't even have time to look at the lanterns on each floor, and climbed up directly in one breath.
After a while, he came to the eighth floor.
Looking at this beautiful lantern, the corners of Bai Jing's mouth raised, "If you want to talk about this beautiful lantern, you have to count the lanterns in the pocket room on the tenth floor, but it's a pity that someone doesn't have the opportunity to see it." ”
"What did you say?" Shen Yuanyang was like stepping on his tail, his face suddenly turned red, and even his eyes were slightly moist.
Bai Zhen'er smiled lightly, Shen Yuanyang almost couldn't answer when he was on the seventh layer just now, but it was only after Bai Jing's eyes that Shen Yuanyang answered. At this time, Bai Jing said it bluntly, and it was strange that Shen Yuanyang was not angry.
"Why does this brother talk like this, and isn't he afraid of abrupt beauty?" At this time, a person dressed as a scholar walked over, seemingly dissatisfied with what Bai Jing had just done.
Bai Jing turned his head, his eyes suddenly changed, and the usual ruffian came out again, "Where did this stunned Qing come from, didn't anyone teach you not to meddle in things?" ”
"Why do you have to talk like this, do you just think that Brother Tai's behavior just now is a saint?"
"Saints? Oh, your grandfather, I never believed that. I'm in a good mood today, I don't care about you in general, you'd better stay where it's cool. ”
Bai Zhen'er looked at the scholar who came out halfway in front of her with interest, dressed like a scholar in a green shirt, and his face was quite handsome. But compared with the white mirror, it is far behind, a handsome young man, a handsome man, there is no comparison at all.
I just don't know where that scholar got the courage to come out and meddle in things?
"Baijing, you have been too much, don't bully others." Shen Yuanyang stood up and spoke at this time.
"Excessive? If you like it, then you can stay here. Bai Jing pulled Bai Zhen'er and walked straight to the level on the ninth floor.
"Stop me." Shen Yuanyang looked at the white camera angrily and left without looking back, and hurriedly followed behind.
Bai Jing didn't even glance at Shen Yuanyang, and let Shen Yuanyang stand aside. Bai Zhen'er received Shen Yuanyang's distress gaze, but she has always been here to help her relatives, so the little cousin should stay aside for the time being.
The scholar in the back naturally followed, looked at Shen Yuanyang and said, "The girl doesn't have to worry, if the girl doesn't dislike it, Xiaosheng is willing to go up with the girl in a group." ”
Shen Yuanyang looked at the scholar on the side suspiciously, looking a little worried.
Perhaps seeing Shen Yuanyang's suspicions, the scholar continued: "Don't worry, girl, Xiaosheng will definitely do it for you." ”
"Cousin, I've finally found you." At this moment, two more girls came over, apparently with the scholar.
"Why did you get here?" The scholar's face looked a little surprised.
One of the women in red looked at the scholar and said, "Naturally, I came up through the barrier." The woman in red stepped forward and took the scholar's arm and said, "Cousin, you want to take me up." ”
"This." The scholar looked at Shen Yuanyang on the side, a little hesitant.
Shen Yuanyang looked at the woman in red in front of him with dissatisfaction and said, "Who are you?" ”
The woman in red's eyes fell on Shen Yuanyang, and replied without showing weakness: "Where did you come from?" "She is very sensitive to people who come out of nowhere to rob her cousin.
Bai Zhen'er looked at this situation, and the scholar's expression was a little embarrassed, and somehow felt a little funny. That white-faced scholar is really not a good thing, he brought himself to someone and still below, but he came up to seduce the woman.
Now that it's been exposed, that scene can be regarded as bloody.
Bai Jing is naturally happy to watch the excitement on the sidelines, especially the liveliness of this Shen Mandarin Duck.
Bai Zhen'er suddenly heard a slight mocking voice, and her eyes fell on the girl beside the woman in red. Unlike the flamboyance of the woman in red, the woman's delicate face does not look offensive.
"Cousin, who are you bringing with you?" The woman in red looked at the scholar in white unrelentingly.
"This." The scholar had a headache and set his eyes on the sister who came with the woman in red, "Luo'er, what do you think is good, I thought you wouldn't be able to come up, so I agreed to this girl, how about now?" “
Qin Hao hooked the corners of his mouth to hide the disdain that appeared in his eyes, and then said: "Actually, this is also very easy to do, you can pick one by lot." ”
"Poof." Bai Zhen'er couldn't help but laugh out loud at the girl's answer. This girl is really funny.
