"You see, the last guest officer has already earned ten taels of silver, which guest officer wants to continue next?"

The boss continued to solicit.

Many people saw that some people had received money, and they were eager to try it.

Soon someone pulled out the silver and clicked on a puzzle.

Time flies quickly, some people are happy and some are worried.

The original novelty also continued to retreat among everyone, and many people left one after another.

After all, it's the first snow festival, and it's much more fun and beautiful.

In the original lantern riddle stall, there were only a few people.

When the boss saw Truman, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Guest officer, although you look like you are practicing martial arts, it can't hide that you are a scholar, how about it, do you want to try?" “

Truman didn't expect the boss to suddenly order himself, and when he looked at the only dozen or so signs left on the table, he was thoughtful, but a voice sounded behind him.

"I'll give it a try."

The voice is very sweet and beautiful, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, tactful and melodious.

When Truman turned around, he saw a girl in a white dress and a purple robe standing behind him.

There is a veil to cover her face, and she can't see her face clearly, but those bright eyes are like autumn water, looking forward to life.

There was a candle shining on her, as holy as a fairy in the sky.

She stood there with a smile, and behind her, there stood a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid, who pouted and viciously scared away one after another boys who were ready to come forward to talk.

This woman, Chuman knew, and when she first came to Yangzhou County to Wanhualou, he asked her to catch Huang Zi'an.

She didn't know if she hadn't seen Truman, so she bypassed him straight, and then walked to the stall step by step, and said softly, "Can I try?" ”

The boss had a wide range of knowledge, thinking that this was probably the young lady of the big family, so he didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately smiled and said, "Girl, please, I don't know that the girl has taken a fancy to that puzzle." ”

The woman smiled slightly, casually pointed to a wooden plaque and said, "That's it, Xiao Zhen, take the silver." ”

Xiao Zhen handed over the silver.

The boss took the silver, took the wooden card in his hand, and immediately read: "This lantern riddle is to play a flower name, please listen to the puzzle, the red apricot on the day side is planted on the clouds, and the time is half a stick of incense, please guess the girl." ”

She pondered for a moment, and had already come up with an answer, and she smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the answer to the mystery should be Epiphany." ”

"Congratulations girl, the answer is correct, and ten taels of silver will be offered." The boss's face changed slightly, and a smile appeared.

Although there were wins and losses today, overall he still earned.

This is ten taels and he can still bear it, but if he continues, he is afraid that he will lose so much that he will not be able to set up tomorrow's stall.

And the young ladies who came out of big families are all knowledgeable.

He couldn't afford to take that risk.

"Look, this girl has also answered, there will be no guest officers next, hurry up, I will close the stall in a while."

Before the woman could speak, the maid named Xiao Zhen behind her had already walked out, she pointed to the boss and said, "What's the matter with your boss, my young lady hasn't said whether to continue or not, you are ready to drive us away?" ”

"That...."The boss was very embarrassed, and then said, "I don't know if you continue girl?" ”

"Go on, go on for sure." Xiao Zhen hurriedly replied again.

The boss didn't listen to Xiao Zhen's words, but turned his head to the masked girl.

He knew that the decision was still with the girl.

But the masked girl obviously couldn't do what he wanted, and she chuckled: "Since Xiao Zhen said to continue, then continue." ”

"Ahh The boss couldn't wait to take the stall, but when he saw the people around him who were watching the play and interjecting from time to time, he had to admit that he was unlucky.

"Xiao Zhen, give the silver."

"Yes, Zhai.... Miss. ”

Xiao Zhen suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words.

She looked forward, and saw that her young lady's expression had not changed, so she relieved herself, exhaled a sigh, and handed over the silver.

The silver was very express, and the boss had to turn over the wooden sign designated by the masked woman with a wry smile.

"Girl, please listen to the puzzle, type a word, and say, 'There is a word in the sentence, guess it three times a month, even if you are a showman, you have to guess for ten days', the time is still half a stick, please answer."

"It's a 'ten' word, right?"

The masked woman thought for a moment, and before the half-burnt incense came, she said the answer in a skeptical tone.

"By the way, ten taels of silver."

"Xiao Zhen, give me more silver." She seemed to be playing, urging Xiao Daodao.

"Say 'mountains and rivers, water towns and mountains, and now everything has changed', the same word, girl, please answer."

"It's a 'green' word." The masked woman smiled.

"That's right, that's right again." The boss wanted to cry without tears.

......

"Xiao Zhen gives money."

"Say, 'It's the sun, it's the sun, it's hot in the morning, it's hot in the evening.'" , type. “

"It's a 'summer' word."

"Yes." The boss has a weak voice.

......

Time passed little by little, and the masked girl was clearly on top.

After a dozen lantern riddles, she also won and lost, and it even took her two more incense sticks to guess one puzzle, but she was still not discouraged.

He just said, 'Xiao Zhen takes the money'.

And the people around are also more around, just because I don't know who spread the sentence 'peerless beauty tortured and killed unscrupulous bosses'.

You can see both beautiful women and lively, where else can there be more attractive?

I don't know when the moon has climbed the mountain, and the silver light casts down, and it sets off the snow, and even the sky becomes much brighter.

In front of the lantern riddle contest, the candle flame was used to see the wooden signs, but now there is no need for candles.

Even the timekeeping incense is no longer used.

Because the puzzle in front of the stall has been guessed by the masked girl.

The boss was already slumped on the table, tears welling up in his eyes.

He no longer wants to make money or not, he just hopes that he will not encounter this kind of big demon king when he goes out of the stall in the future.

The masked girl was a little unsatisfied, and when she suddenly remembered something and turned back suddenly, she had already lost sight of the figure she wanted to see.

Xiao Zhen was holding a large bag of silver in his hand, his face was hot with excitement, and his face was red.

"Miss."

She was so happy that she was about to say to the young lady, but she saw the young lady running out through the crowd.

She hurried out, but saw the young lady standing on an old bridge not far away, looking around.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu ran over panting and asked.

The masked girl looked around again, but there was still no figure she wanted to see.

"Nothing," she turned her head and smiled.

And he said, "Let's go back." ”
