Chapter 82: Guessing the riddle
Sun Chen, who had been thinking about it all the way, came to a conclusion that before meeting a noble person who was willing to support him wholeheartedly, he still had to rely on his own efforts to be more realistic.
"Ah Chen, what are you thinking?" Da Zhuang's loud voice shouted him out of his ramblings.
"Uh, I didn't think about anything, what's wrong?" Sun Chen turned his head away.
"You see a lot of people are guessing lantern riddles in front of you, should we try it?" Although Ah Chen couldn't continue to study in the school, he has been smart since he was a child, and some riddles can't even be guessed by those who read, but he can. But he doesn't participate every time, which makes him feel sorry for himself who has always wanted to rely on him to win a lantern.
You must know that the lantern riddle prize provided by Wanyou Commercial Bank, the cheapest lantern is also worth 30 copper plates!
"I don't want to~" Sun Chen shook his head at the rows of riddles hanging on the rope in front of him, the little knowledge he learned had been almost forgotten, even if he had the memory of Sun Chen, it was just superficial. What's more, he didn't bother to use his brain for dozens of copper plates, and his ingenuity had to be used in the future. It's just a good look at such a bustle.
"Well, why don't you participate?" Da Zhuang was obviously a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to stare at those riddles by himself, hoping to find one that he could guess.
Erniu and Yanzi also stood in the crowd, listening to others reading the riddles on the cards, and listening to others guess the riddles.
Sun Chen was not in a hurry at all, and simply stood there and looked at the lanterns of different shapes provided by Wanyou Commercial Bank as prizes.
Sure enough, it is a big deal, not to mention the large number of prizes, from time to time someone will guess the lantern riddle and take away a certain lantern with a smile, just say that the horse lantern as the highest prize is actually composed of six beautiful women dancing with the best embroidery of Wanyou Commercial Bank. After the candle burns, the heat rises and the inner axis rotates, and the beauty on the embroidered painting seems to be alive, as if it is dancing in front of your eyes, and everyone can't help but admire. They put down other puzzles and didn't guess, and looked at the puzzles that belonged to it and studied them.
On the other hand, the puzzle used to make this highest prize was also particularly difficult to guess, and only Sun Chen stood here for a short while, and no less than ten people handed over the answers to the guys of Wanyou Commercial Bank. Unfortunately, in the end, no one was able to take it as they wished.
"Stratus clouds disappear to the moon......" Sun Chen muttered and read out the riddle, this answer, he seems to know~ It's not that difficult!
But after thinking about it, the words of this dynasty don't seem to be familiar to me, so the answer~ Maybe not? In other words, how are the crumbs of this era written? The more he wanted to know, the more confused Sun Chen's mind became, and he couldn't extract the information he wanted.
So do you even want to talk about it? Sun Chen hesitated for a moment. It doesn't matter, it's right or not, let's shout it first. "It's crumbs!"
"I know, it's crumbs!"
Hearing that the answer he thought was called out by others almost at the same time, even if Sun Chen said just now that he didn't want to participate, he was a little annoyed at the moment.
Of course, it was not that he was angry with others, but that he was angry that he was cowering and even hesitated to guess a lantern riddle for a long time. He turned his head to see who had thought of him, but the anger in his eyes that he didn't have time to put away was completely accepted by the other party.
It is said that the sky is dark, and the other party should not see it, but who let the place where they are standing now, let the Wanyou Commercial Bank be brightly lit as if it were day!
"What do you see? You can't guess yourself, and you can't let others guess if it's slow? The other party obviously regarded Sun Chen's displeasure as dissatisfaction with himself, raised his chin defiantly, and said viciously. Anyway, the answer is that I said it first, this is a marquee, and it has to be mine in the end! I want to rob the master, but there is no door! ”
"Hehe~ Whether you said it first or not, it's not necessarily!" Although the marquee was exquisite, it was not very unusual for Sun Chen, so he didn't plan to say anything. But when he saw the other party's 'fake master' with red lips and white teeth and an arrogant face, he couldn't help but be happy.
Girl, even if you want to dress as a man, you might as well wrap your towering breasts with a cloth, right!? Also, which master have you ever seen who will pout and be ruthless with each other?
"Hey, where are you looking? Stinky rascals! Realizing where Sun Chen's gaze lingered, Qin Jingshu hurriedly clasped her arms and looked at him with a blushing face and full of vigilance. The other 'fat pink man' behind her also rushed forward, spreading his hands to block between the two, "What do you want to do?!" ”
"Where is what I want to do, I should be asking you two what you want to do, right? I didn't say a word just now, did I? Sun Chen laughed angrily, how can there be such a person who feels good about himself everywhere! Besides, I really looked at you, what else can you do with me? It's not illegal to see people, right? If you don't like to be looked at by others, it's good to stay in your boudoir honestly and never go out. ”
Qin Jingshu was going to apologize to the other party when she realized that she had overreacted, but when she heard Sun Chen's next words, she was really shocked and angry, "You, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
"I ......" Sun Chen was about to say that you asked knowingly, and the guy from Wanyou Commercial Bank checked the answer to the lantern riddle and handed the marquee just now to Sun Chen: "Congratulations, you guessed the answer correctly, this marquee is yours~"
Sun Chen was about to reach out to pick it up, but was taken away by the hand that stretched out next to him. "Humph! Obviously, it was my young lady's answer first, and this marquee naturally belongs to my young lady! ”
"Lilac!" Qin Jingshu hurriedly opened her mouth to stop it, but she was still a step too late.
"The guy is going to give it to me." Sun Chen didn't stretch out his hand to snatch it, but only told the truth slowly.
"My young lady shouted the answer at the same time as you, how could a big man compete with a lady on the street because of a lantern, this son won't even have this demeanor, right?" Lilac also realized that she had just inadvertently broken the fact that two women were disguised as men, so she simply came up with such an idea. In her opinion, a person with a little bit of culture, hearing such an explicit hint from herself, will definitely not be embarrassed to rob her own lady anymore.
"I'm sorry, I really don't have that yet." Sun Chen spread his hands and posed as a scoundrel.
"You!" Ding Xiang is anxious, she has followed her own young lady since she was a child, which of the little sisters in the house is not respectful to herself? Even if she is her own lady, she is polite when she speaks to herself. But if you ask for something like the person in front of you, you don't give any face, and you are the first to reject it directly.
"How much is this marquee, can't we buy it?" The purpose of her and the young lady coming here today is to get this lantern back, and in the end, they must not return empty-handed. Seeing that the person in front of him was dressed ordinarily, he must be a family short of money, "Is five taels of silver enough?" ”
As she spoke, Ding Xiang took out five taels of silver from the purse she was carrying and threw it to Sun Chen, "You are really making a lot of money now, if it weren't for our young lady having to take this marquee away, I wouldn't have given you so much money." ”
