Chapter 13: Meet the Peerless Again

Rouge walked leisurely on the street, thinking that he whispered to the princess's aunt before leaving, let the aunt support herself, presumably the aunt will not spare the Chu family, thinking that a housekeeper in the Chu family can bully others, how arrogant the Chu family is, and they have no good impression of the Chu family at all, but that Chu Wushuang is an exception, and it is a clear stream in a group of pretentious Chu families.

Thinking of this, Rouge stopped and said to Zhao Xi on the side: "Zhao Xi, you go and check what the Chu Wushuang at the back door of the Chu Mansion is today, what is the origin, be sure to find out, don't worry about the monks, and blatantly check it." ”

"Yes, Childe." He turned around and disappeared into the market.

Rouge looked at the bustling street market, was in a good mood, took out the folding fan he carried with him, and shook it elegantly twice.

Thinking that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a custom to guess lantern riddles and eat moon cakes, and took Zhao Heng to one of the largest lantern riddle stalls by the river. Rouge has never liked a lot of people, and besides, Rouge is here to guess the lantern riddle to win the lantern to give to his grandfather and grandmother, and he doesn't want to be famous.

Seeing the deserted stall in front of him, Rouge said to the boss: "Boss, can you guess the lantern riddle now?" ”

The boss looked at the noble son in front of him, thinking that he was here to join in the fun, and said in a bad tone: "It can be, but it's not yet night, and there is a lantern riddle conference at night, and it's not too late for the son to come again." ”

"Boss, I just want to guess the lantern riddle now, I can't hide it, I want to win a lantern and give it to the elders in the Mid-Autumn Festival today."

After hearing this, the boss didn't say anything else, and introduced the rules to Rouge.

"Guess the lantern riddle, ten copper plates for one person, time for a pillar of incense, three correct answers within the specified time, return ten copper plates for the original number, five correct answers, return ten copper plates and add ten copper plates, eight correct answers, and then send a small lantern, twelve correct answers and prizes."

"What is the prize for twelve correct answers?"

"Childe, no one has ever answered twelve correctly, and the prize of this twelve correct answers is the biggest lantern in this year's lantern riddle guessing conference."

"How big?"

"It is three big lanterns for ordinary lanterns, this lantern is made of Los Angeles paper, the pattern on the book means auspicious, the color is gorgeous, it is a rare good lantern."

"If it's really as good as the boss said, then you might as well try it, and if you really get a big lantern, it will be a good gift for your loved ones at home."

Rouge listened to what the stall owner said, and wanted to win this big lantern home and give it to his grandfather and grandmother, although the Zhao family did not lack these, and the elders in the family did not care about these, but if it was obtained by guessing the word puzzle by himself, it would be of great significance, and he was worried about what gift he gave his grandfather and grandmother, and it was not bad to send an anagram lantern.

The stall owner saw that Rouge was so eager to try, so he didn't say anything, just collected the money.

Here Rouge made a bet with Zhao Heng to see who guessed more anagrams. Don't look at Zhao Heng as a guard, but which of the guards in the Zhao Mansion is simple, not to mention that Zhao Changqing is assigned to follow Rouge, guessing a word puzzle is just a trivial matter that can be caught by hand.

Zhao Heng gave the boss twenty yuan, and after the boss announced the start, Rouge and Zhao Heng began to solve the anagram on the lantern separately left and right.

Seeing that there were people guessing lantern riddles at the lantern riddle stall, a few idle people gathered around the side of the stall to join in the fun.

Rouge paced to the shelf with lantern riddles, looked at the riddles on the shelves, and took a "Does he have you, does he have the sky." ”

"Also."

The boss on the side said, "That's right." ”

Zhao Heng's side, "The sun goes down in the west, and the moon hangs in the east." ”

"Ming."

"That's right."

Rouge "gold wood water fire." ”

"Kan."

Zhao Heng: "Night after night. ”

"Many."

Rouge and Zhao Heng After five rounds of back and forth, Zhao Heng was defeated, and he was about to take twenty copper plates.

"Wait a minute." Everyone looked at the place where the voice came from, and Chu Wushuang, who was dressed in water blue, walked over. "I heard that someone here guessed the lantern riddle, but I didn't expect it to be Zhao Xiao, Zhao Gongzi, I also like to guess the lantern riddle tightly, Zhao Gongzi can have Yaxing and try it down?"

Rouge looked at Chu Wushuang and agreed.

The boss came over and said, "It stands to reason that you can't change people in the middle of the game, if that's the case, then the previous riddles don't count, and you have to start again." The boss said this, he was afraid that Chu Wushuang was as powerful as Rouge Zhao Heng, and he couldn't prevent them from participating in the game, so he could only save a little bit and the current boss no longer regarded Rouge as a son of a rich and noble family who came out to join in the fun.

Rouge naturally knew the stall boss's thoughts, and they didn't say anything, for the competition with Chu Wushuang, Rouge was still very interested, and agreed to the boss's rules of the game.

Needless to say, Chu Wushuang naturally agreed, Zhao Heng felt very sorry for the twenty copper plates, but after seeing his young lady's desire to compete with Chu Gongzi, he silently stepped aside, touching tears in his heart.

The boss took out a stick of incense and lit it, and then announced the start.

Rouge holds the lantern riddle, "Spring and autumn are not hot." ”

"Qin."

Chu Wushuang took the riddle "Push it away and come again." ”

"Stall."

…… Twelfth Round......

"Sunset willow tops."

"Dreams."

When it was Chu Wushuang's turn, "The moon sets, the sun rises, and the geese form the industry." Chu Wushuang didn't answer, and arched his hand at the rouge: "Brother Zhao is really talented, and I admire it." ”

After Rouge heard this lantern riddle, he couldn't help but smile: "Brother Chu, I am very familiar with this lantern riddle." ”

"I don't understand, can Brother Zhao give advice."

"The riddle of this lantern riddle is rouge."

"I wonder which smoke it is?"

"Rouge's rouge."

Everyone saw Rouge and Wushuang, one of them answered eleven lantern riddles, and one person twelve, cheering in unison.

The vendor owner walked over, took down the largest lantern from the top of the lantern rack, and handed it to Rouge. Rouge turned around and handed it to Zhao Heng behind him. The boss took out an ordinary lantern again, and handed it to Chu Wushuang along with the twenty copper plates, Chu Wushuang turned out the lantern, but he didn't take the money, and said to Zhao Heng: "These twenty copper plates should be yours." ”

Zhao Heng looked at Rouge, and Rouge said, "Indeed, those twenty copper plates originally belonged to Zhao Heng." ”

After hearing Rouge's answer, Zhao Heng put away the money.

"Brother Chu is out of the house, why don't you bring an entourage?"

"I just asked the little guy around me to buy lotus lanterns, I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy them if I'm late."

"Lotus lanterns?" Rouge was a little puzzled.

Wushuang saw Rouge's puzzlement, and explained: "The lotus lantern is a lantern placed by the river at night, because some are in the shape of a lotus flower, so it is also called a lotus lantern." There is also a legend about the origin of this lotus lantern. ”
