Chapter 108: Lantern Festival

Gu Yao pulled Yi Ranchen's sleeve, and his tone was full of surprise, "This year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is so lively, so spectacular, I don't know how much better than last year's!" ”

"Maybe there are more wealthy businessmen this year." Yi Ranchen said with a smile.

That's right, although the annual Lantern Festival is organized by the county government, the silver is donated by everyone in the county, of course, the main people are still the rich businessmen in the county.

"Then did you donate anything?" Anyway, she donated a hundred taels of silver.

Yi Ranchen smiled, and then said, "Donate, it's not much, it's only three hundred taels." ”

After a vivid performance, the two lion dancers rolled and jumped, and at the same time hung down red couplets from their mouths, and the golden dragon jumped in the air, and the upper ends of the two lion dancers seemed to be real and illusory, adding grace to the festive night.

"It's so pretty!" Gu Yao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the performance in front of him.

Yi Ranchen's gaze fell on Gu Yao's body, smiled, and said, "It's really good-looking." Under such a view, his Yao'er is still so dazzling!

"Let's go down Main Street." As he spoke, Gu Yao grabbed Yi Ranchen's hand and walked towards the main street.

In the air, the fireworks are still being fired, and this time the fireworks have changed their patterns again, some are green, some are red, some are blue, some are orange, and some are purple.

The ceremonial flowers were set off in the air, like the scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, and like the stars, they twinkled in the sky, illuminating the whole sky.

The sound was even more crackling and deafening.

On the main street, all kinds of lanterns came into the eyes of Gu Yao and Yi Ranchen, with thousands of postures, including pagodas, fish lanterns, and eagle lanterns...... And it's all colorful and colorful.

"Yi Ranchen, look, look, that lantern is so beautiful!" Suddenly, Gu Yao's gaze fell on the lantern that had just been hung on a small stall.

It is an octagonal glass lantern, which is different from other lanterns, this lantern is more exquisite in workmanship, and it can be stored for a longer time.

Obviously, everyone around saw the lantern and walked towards the stall.

Yi Ranchen saw that Gu Yao liked it, so he hurriedly pulled her over, successfully squeezed in the front, and at the same time carefully protected Gu Yao.

"Shopkeeper, is your lantern also a charade?"

"Yes, yes, this lantern is so beautiful!"

"Mother, lanterns, lanterns, beautiful, beautiful."

"It's so beautiful!"

……

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This lantern is also a charade, but the way this lantern is a charade is different from other ways." ”

"How is it different?" Yi Ranchen asked.

The shopkeeper still smiled and said, "The others can just guess one correctly, and I have to answer all the ten anagrams in my hand correctly." ”

"Of course, this is only one of the conditions, and there is another condition, which is that the person who guesses the lamp needs to write a crossword puzzle for the people who come and go to guess."

"Of course, not everyone can guess, only through my side of the puzzle

If ten people in a row don't guess, it's a success, and you can take away my lanterns. ”

"If someone can guess that anagram, the same will also be a pair of anagrams, and in the end, whoever can hold on until all ten people can't guess it, then they can successfully take away my lantern, everyone, what do you think?"

Gu Yao's eyes flashed, isn't this equivalent to selecting a champion first, and then guarding the ring, smiled, and said, "Guess the word puzzle, yes, shop, can I participate?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, we can have four people at a time, I wonder if anyone else wants to participate?" With that, three more people stood up.

Gu Yao looked at the others, then asked the shopkeeper, and said, "What if all four of us succeed?" "After all, there is only one lantern!

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This young lady, please rest assured, if you all succeed, I will announce the rules of the second round, please rest assured." ”

The implication is that if there is only one person or no one succeeds, then there is no need for the second round to exist.

Gu Yao nodded, thinking that this was very good, so he waited for the store to start.

The shopkeeper gave the four of them a piece of paper and a pair of pen and ink, and then said, "The four of you can find a place to write, and I will tell you the anagram one by one later, and you can just write it on the paper." ”

The booth was big enough for four people to find a place to write, and when everything was ready, the shop would begin.

"Question 1: Wholeheartedly obey and change jobs."

"Question 2: Ill-intentioned."

"Question 3: Ugly and strong."

"Question 4: White jade is flawless."

……

As the store reported the topic, the people around him also guessed in their hearts, because it was a competition, and everyone didn't say it.

"Okay, my question has been finished, how are you answering, if you have any doubts about the topic, you can ask me." As he spoke, he looked at all four of them.

"Alright." The four of them got up together and came to the side of the store, speaking of which, among the four people, Gu Yao was the only woman, and when she answered the question just now, many people's eyes fell on Gu Yao.

To be honest, these questions were not very difficult for Gu Yao, and she answered them quickly.

The shopkeeper looked at the four people standing in front of him, smiled and said the answers to each question, and in the end, only Gu Yao answered all of them correctly.

As for the other three, some people made one mistake, and some people made two mistakes, and in the end they could only end up regrettably.

"Congratulations to this young lady for getting everything right." The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Next, please ask the lady to ask the question, if you successfully pass the ten people, then this lantern is the lady's." ”

"Okay." Gu Yao laid out the paper, then picked up the brush on the side, then thought about it, and finally wrote down the title, "The spring rain is long, and people go." ”

As soon as this topic came out, the people around him were stunned.

"What kind of word is this?"

"It's the first time I've seen this riddle!

"Do any of you know what this mystery is?"

......

Yi Ranchen looked at the lantern riddle and frowned, what is this riddle?

"Okay, if anyone wants to, they can come to me and guess the anagram, and if they succeed in guessing ten questions, they can go to the young lady."

Suddenly, many people began to go to the store, Gu Yao sat on the stool that Yi Ranchen found, eating the butter cakes on the stall next door, smiling with a satisfied face!

On the other side, Qin Shufang and the others left after eating the Lantern Festival, leaving Xiao Xu alone to watch in the store, it was originally Ding Gui who stayed, but Xiao Xu himself took the initiative to ask to stay, so Ding Gui accompanied Yi Zhen out for a walk.

As for Zhuo Qin and You Jin, the hands of the two people under their wide sleeves held each other and walked towards the side of the main street.

"Miss, you slow down, the slaves can't keep up." Bi Tao looked at Liu Yueqing, who was a few steps away, with a worried face, and said.

Liu Yueqing stopped, and then said to Bi Tao: "Oh, Bi Tao, you go faster, I heard Yan Ni say that there is an octagonal glass lantern on their stall this year, which is beautiful." ”

"It was already late enough when I went out, and I didn't expect to get that lantern, but it also made me enjoy it a few times!"

Bi Tao sighed when she heard this, and said, "But Miss, Miss Chen also said, the lantern is very hard to get, and it has only been taken out for a short time, so we can slow down." ”

If Miss has a bad one, her ass will suffer.

Liu Yueqing let out an 'oops', then stomped her foot, grabbed Bi Tao's arm, and then walked towards the Chen family's stall.

"Miss, image, image!" Bi Tao shouted hard.

Liu Yueqing simply didn't listen, and only walked towards the Chen family's stall, now there is nothing more important in her heart than the lantern.

At this time, at the Chen family's stall, Gu Yao looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile: "You are the tenth, if you can't guess, this lantern is mine." ”

The young man looked at Gu Yao with a flushed face, then glanced at the figure in the crowd, took a deep breath, and then said, "I guess it's three." ”

Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Congratulations." Then he took out the piece of paper on which he had written the answer, and it was written that it was a three.

The boy smiled happily, then wrote down his puzzle and waited for the next person to guess it.

"Yao'er." Yi Ranchen was a little worried about Gu Yao, after all, they were almost able to take down the lantern.

Gu Yao smiled and said to Yi Ranchen, "Maybe I don't have a fate with that lantern." As he spoke, he finally glanced at the lantern with a little regret, and then pulled Yi Ranchen out of the stall.

After the Lantern Festival, everyone began to get busy.

On this day, Yunshui Pavilion ushered in a heavyweight guest, Chen Yanni's mother, the little one of the imperial merchant Xuanyuan's family

Sister, Xuanyuan Hui.

"Mrs. Chen, welcome, welcome!" After hearing that Xuanyuan Hui was coming, Yi Ranchen hurriedly walked downstairs and greeted him with a smile.

After taking over Yunshui Pavilion for so long, he had already learned all about the big ladies and ladies in the county, and he was afraid that he would accidentally offend someone or lose an important guest.

"You're the boss of this Cloud Water Pavilion?" Xuanyuan Hui asked with a puzzled face: "Didn't you say that the boss here is a little girl?" "Could it be that when she went to the capital, the boss of this Yunshui Pavilion changed?

Yi Ranchen said with a smile: "Madam is right, the previous boss is indeed not me, but we are not alone in Yunshui Pavilion." ”

"I see!" Xuanyuan Hui smiled and nodded.

Yi Ranchen said: "Is Mrs. Chen here today to buy jewelry or custom jewelry, or is there something else?" ”

Xuanyuan Hui looked at the situation in the store, and then said with a smile: "My girl ordered a set of jewelry for me in your shop last year, I look good, so let's take a look." ”

"I see." Yi Ranchen smiled and pointed to the stairs not far away, and said, "Or, Mrs. Chen, let's talk upstairs, there is a private room upstairs." ”

"Okay!"
