"These are all young talents, and they don't seem to be at the age of weak crowns!" An old man pointed out and praised.

The sister-in-law next to her nodded and agreed: "It's not, it's so powerful, if my kid can have half of them, he will be content!" ”

"But no matter how good it is, there is only one lottery head?" A slightly younger boy frowned.

"yes, what should I do?"

……

In the midst of the discussion, the Lifang Jingcheng [1], who was in charge of the government-run lantern riddle meeting, cleared his throat: "Since there is no distinction between the top and the bottom, let's try again!" ”

Everyone agreed: there are only two outstanding people left, of course they want to know who is more powerful!

Ah Chou blinked and looked at Hua Liuli: I never expected that a drama would be so capable. Ding Juwen's strength is expected, he studies all year round and works very hard. There is no doubt about this, as can be seen by looking at the notes on his book. It's just this drama - it's actually a hidden person? As the saying goes, the great is hidden in the city, and the ancients did not deceive me!

But who will come out on top?

"Fourth Brother Tong, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Ugly asked with interest.

"Of course I support Brother Ding, Brother Ding is the pride of our village, and he will definitely win!" Tong Ningzhi said with confidence.

Tong Ningxin scratched his head: "I also support Brother Ding." By the way, what is this year's lottery head? With that, he stepped on his feet and looked into the middle of the field.

On the high platform in the middle of the lantern riddle, the red satin is set off, and a water sapphire gold beaded hairpin is illuminated by the lantern, revealing a light and elegant brilliance.

Tong Ningxin's words caused the nearby spectators to look at Zhu Hai one after another, revealing envious looks, especially the women.

Shangyuan Festival has always been a good time for men and women to meet, and at this moment, this chic and elegant pearl hairpin, although it is a reward for winning talents, makes everyone think about it.

Who will win this hairpin, and who will it give to if it wins?

Ah Chou felt more and more that this lantern riddle would be too interesting: Ding Juwen was not handsome and dashing, but he could also be called upright and handsome, and he was not as weak as the crown, which naturally attracted the attention of many girls. As for the dress, although it is not a rich family, it can be learned here, and it is a potential stock.

Hua Liuli gave birth to a delicate jade face, the age of a weak crown, and elegant manners, which also attracted a lot of attention. Imagine that a person with both talents and appearances has been rare since ancient times, if he can attract his attention at this moment, will the things that follow be logical?

After thinking about the girl's thoughts, Ah Chou couldn't help but hide his lips, and before he could laugh, he heard a clear female voice coming from the side.

"Brother Juwen, you are amazing! I'll definitely get the jackpot later. "When you get the lottery head, you must give it to me. Zhou Lingqiao held back half a sentence in his heart, didn't say it, and looked up at Ding Juwen eagerly with his eyes.

Ding Juwen stood beside her, just smiled faintly: "Xie Lu Xie, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ugly's beige veil.

She's here too?

After looking closely, she found that Tong Ningzhi and Tong Ningxin had accompanied her. I wanted to go over and say hello, but I knew that the competition was about to start, so I had to give up.

Zhou Lingqiao didn't notice the ugly not far away, and he didn't realize the meaning of "doing everything to obey the destiny of heaven". She only knew that what Brother Juwen said must be right, so she smiled and looked at Ding Juwen, who walked to the front to compete, and seemed to be confident about his victory and the ownership of his spoils - such a bright pearl hairpin must not be used by his mother, and it was not given to her?

Ah Chou glanced at Zhou Lingqiao, who was full of spring breeze, and put his eyes on the central playing field: how will the final game be compared? And that Hua Liuli, how much real ability does he have?

Just thinking about it, the rules of the final competition were given: a riddle, a stick of incense, and two riddles.

One riddle, two riddles, this method is really novel, and the onlookers applauded. Generally, it is not easy to come up with a riddle; Coming up with two, especially if you have already come up with one, is easy to get imprisoned by a mindset, and it will be even harder to come up with a second one.

The chief examiner's room accepted to hang out the lantern riddle, only to see a big word: livestock. A line of small print next to it: Medicinal herbs.

Ah Chou was stunned, there was only one word "sacrifice" on the riddle, Rao was very familiar with the medicinal materials, and she had no thoughts for a while, not to mention, she had to guess two medicinal materials.

After thinking about it again, I was still confused. She vowed never to guess the riddle in the future, so she had to "pin" her hope on the two people present. I saw that both of them were thinking carefully for a long time, and only after a stick of incense was about to burn out did they write an answer. After handing in the papers, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of eyes and emotions they exchanged.

After a while, the examiner announced with a smile: "Ding Gongzi guessed one riddle correctly, Playboy guessed both riddles, and Playboy won this year's lottery!" ”

"Hey, it's almost," Tong Ningxin stomped his foot in annoyance, "It's a pity that the hairpin is so good-looking!" ”

"It's a pity what, Brother Ding won, and it's not yours. It's yours, and you can't wear it. "Ah Chou carelessly straightened the simple and refreshing bun.

Tong Ningxin was speechless for a while, and stopped talking.

Ah Chou sighed and whispered, as if he was talking to himself: "Brother Ding reads a lot, but it may also be because he reads too much, and his thinking is imprisoned." However, guessing is a skill in itself, and it also depends on luck. I don't know anything about it, so what is it if I'm pointing fingers at others here? The corners of his lips curled in self-deprecation.

In the field, Hua Liuli smiled lightly, the corners of his indifferent eyes were dyed with a hint of cunning, and he gave his hand to Ding Juwen: "Agreed!" ”

Ding Juwen replied with a salute, although it was a pity, but he was convinced: "Brother Hua is good at learning, and Ding is ashamed of himself." ”

"Prize!" After Hua Liuli finished speaking, he no longer greeted each other, and under the leadership of Jing Cheng, he went to get the water sapphire gold beaded hairpin.

At this time, the atmosphere of the audience reached its peak, and everyone was looking forward to Hua Liuli's choice: should he take such a beautiful pearl hairpin to find the woman he liked on the spot and give it away, or take it back to press the bottom of the box or sell the silver? Speculating in this way, the young girls took a look at their own dresses and hair accessories.

Zhou Lingqiao is still annoyed with Ding Juwen's defeat, but unfortunately the beautiful hairpin has nothing to do with him after all - after all, it is an ordinary young girl, who doesn't like beautiful clothes and jewelry?

However, the sorrow in the triangular eyes did not dissipate, Zhou Lingqiao raised his eyes slightly, and saw the jade-faced man in the blue robe, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, walking towards her with a beaded hairpin in his hand. She tightened the corners of her crimson floral clothes, her cheeks flushed, and her heartbeat was like thunder and she couldn't suppress it, but her heart was struggling: was he going to give her the pearl hairpin? To collect, or not to collect? Although this son...... But what she has always liked is Brother Juwen, what should she do?
