Many of the onlookers were gamblers, and of course, many people came here early to wait when they heard that they could eat the food of 14 famous restaurants for free today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that someone had already entered the venue and sat down, the unruly crowd began to make noise, and Fan Erniang, the shopkeeper of Guiyan Tower, stood up and announced loudly: "As we all know, today Guiyan Tower, Suiyuan and twelve other famous buildings in the city jointly hold a competition of 'who is the king of the big stomach' here.

In addition to enjoying the exciting games, there were also people who were able to come to the venue and enjoy a variety of food provided by these 14 famous restaurants for free. ”

Then he raised his hand and pointed behind the group, "Everyone, please look behind you......"

Everyone turned their heads in confusion and found two large boats slowly rowing over the moat, and the boats were full of many exquisite lanterns, illuminating the entire surface of the moat.

"There are 50 lanterns on each boat, and there is a riddle on each lantern, and anyone who can guess the shot, regardless of men, women, children, tall, short, fat and thin, can get the opportunity to enter the venue and enjoy free food."

The crowd of onlookers found an opportunity to enter the arena and rushed to the river, and there were a hundred places for free food and drink in total, and no one wanted to miss this opportunity.

The officials of Kaifeng Mansion are busy now, trying their best to maintain order, for fear that someone will really fall into the water.

Yang Huairen feels that a cultural person like him, guessing lantern riddles, a fun game for cultural people, should not be missing from him.

Speaking of the word lantern riddle, the earliest in the Northern Song Dynasty, the previous name in each dynasty is different, tracing the earliest origin of the lantern riddle, to the Spring and Autumn Period.

It is said that at that time, in order to express some of their opinions to the king, some scholars were afraid of committing taboos, so they used a method of "hidden language" to vaguely express the words, words or sentences they wanted to say, which is probably the origin of riddles.

Yang Huairen used to think that only the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival had the folk activities of hanging lanterns and guessing lantern riddles, but in fact, in the Song Dynasty, hanging lanterns and guessing lantern riddles was a very common form of entertainment.

In addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival, people will carry out such activities in traditional Chinese festivals such as New Year's Day, Spring Festival, February Festival, Qiqiao Festival, Xia Yuan Festival, etc., but according to different festivals, the style of the lanterns and the theme of the lantern riddle are different.

Even if it is not a festival or a festival, in order to celebrate some festive days, such as the birthday of an official or an elder in the clan, the marriage of a wealthy family, etc., the scale may be smaller, but there is also a habit of celebrating in this form.

Yang Huairen didn't want to grab a place to eat and drink for free with others, but he was a little curious about this kind of folk customs, and he wanted to show off his profound wisdom in front of Zhao Hao and other friends, so he went to join in the fun.

The guards of King Jia's Mansion opened the way, and Yang Huairen also followed Zhao Hao and enjoyed the treatment of a privileged class.

The prince is the prince, people do not use colored paper to paste lanterns, but directly use silk cloth, the two came to a carp-shaped lantern, Yang Huairen asked in a low voice: "Uncle, this lantern riddle is from you, you must know the answer, right?" ”

Zhao Hao shook his head and denied with a smile: "What do you think, what have you been busy with for this promotion in the past few days?"

There are a hundred lantern riddles here, even if I have the heart to solve the problem, but how can I have that time? This was all made up by your two sisters-in-law after a few days of hard work. ”

"Oh, I see, the two sisters-in-law are tired."

Yang Huairen bowed in the direction of the palace, and then squinted and smiled, "Since today's theme is a competition, then let's also compete to see who can guess the first riddle faster." ”

"I'll go! I can't compare to you in cooking, and you are not an opponent for your brother to guess the lantern riddles. ”

Zhao Hao took a sip, and he didn't know when he learned Yang Huairen's tone, these two words came out of his mouth, making Yang Huairen look at him as if he was a ghost.

"I'll go, uncle, how did you learn the words of the younger brother? Do you know what these words mean? ”

Zhao Hao shook his head again, "I thought you sounded very funny when you spoke like this, but I never understood the meaning. ”

"It's good if I don't know, haha."

Yang Huairen was happy, if he knew that this sentence was all about "I bought a watch last year", I don't know what kind of feeling the prince Zhao Dawang, who regards himself as a great calligrapher and a great painter and a great writer.

In addition, the watch of this era is the sundial, and in addition, ordinary people are accustomed to judging the approximate time by the position of the sun and moon in the sky.

It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that Su Song invented the water transport instrument elephant platform, which is a relatively high-precision timekeeping instrument, and there is such a set in the palace, which cannot be bought.

Yang Huairen uncovered the first riddle, and the riddle directly scared him stupid, and a red piece of paper read: "A pillar of optimus".

People are so open at this time? Yang Huairen glanced at Zhao Hao ambiguously, "The younger brother admires my brother, and I admire the two talented sisters-in-law." ”

said this, but what he thought in his heart was: Lang Lang Qiankun in broad daylight...... Ah no, it should have just risen a bright moon, and your family is in such a blatant show posture, can you still be friends?

"Hehe," Zhao Hao said with a smile, "This is simple, and the answer is the word 'not'." ”

Zhao Hao said the correct answer without thinking, which surprised Yang Huairen again.

He wrote a false word "Wei" in his hand, and immediately understood the profundity of this anagram, it turned out that the person with the word "Wei" in his name is the person who really has a dream, this is the real day.

A chamberlain of the palace on the lightboat respectfully handed over a sign, which was the proof of admission.

Zhao Hao finally had the opportunity to abuse Yang Huairen, who thought he was the first in the world, in terms of IQ, and at this time he didn't seize the opportunity to stinky fart, so he took the sign and shook it in front of his eyes and said: "Oh, thank you brother for conceding, haha......"

Let your grandma have a tun! Yang Huairen lost the city first, he was not convinced, he grabbed the wooden sign and threw it behind him, and those who were still complaining just now that they couldn't squeeze into the front row to guess the lantern riddle immediately rushed into a ball.

Yang Huairen dragged a peach-shaped lantern and hurriedly tore away the mystery. He originally thought that anagrams were the most common and simplest kind of splitting or dividing words in later generations, but today he found out that you should not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

The riddle is: "Four great mountains and mountains against mountains, four great rivers and rivers against rivers, four suns in a circle, and four mouths close together." ”

Yang Huairen is messy, this ...... Is this a word?

I recognize two mountains as a word, two days I also recognize a Chang word, four mountains, four rivers, four suns and four mouths, these together are simply a big ink idea, what kind of strange word is this?
