Chapter 230: Soliciting and Guessing Lantern Riddles

"Broken Army!?" The three of them exclaimed in surprise, saying that the three of them had been in the capital for some time, and they had also heard of the reputation of the Broken Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThanks to the strict military discipline and pro-people attitude of the Broken Army, the Broken Army is widely spread among the lower classes. Almost most of the people in the vicinity of the capital know that there is a "special" army in Niutunbao in the south of the capital, and they usually come out to buy and sell fairly, but also love the people very much, and will give a thing or two to the poor and unaffordable. When they see corrupt officials who oppress the people, they will also come forward to defend the people. I am accustomed to seeing the ugly state of the "old soldiers" in Beijing who oppress the good and do all kinds of evil. For such an army that is strictly disciplined and loves the people, and can be comparable to the Yuejia army that "freezes to death without demolishing houses, starves to death without plundering", it is not surprising that the people's favorability has increased greatly!

A man was born in heaven and earth, who doesn't want to be famous through the ages, leave a name in history, seal his wife and son, and have a future for future generations. Besides, the three of them have their own martial arts, and they don't want to be just a lion dancer for the rest of their lives, out of a good impression of the Broken Army, hearing that Liu Fan, the leader of the Broken Army, personally recruited, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little moved in their hearts, in the end, it was the lion leader surnamed Wang who was calmer, and said to Liu Fan, "This Overseer!" We appreciate your kindness! But we have a wife, children, and mother, so it's not like we can leave if we leave! Besides, the errand given to us by Shuntianfu has not yet been completed, and we cannot agree to your request! ”

Liu Fan smiled, he saw the expressions of the three of them, he knew the bottom in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to recruit them immediately, and said comfortingly, "This matter is not in a hurry!" It's not too late to decide when you take care of the things in hand! If you really want to, you can come to Niutunburg to find me! The gates of the Breakers are always open for you! ”

The three of them were even more moved when they heard this, and they held back their excitement, bowed down and hugged their fists, "Thank you for your appreciation!" Don't worry, Lord Governor, we will take your words to heart, and when we are settled, we will go to Newtunburg to find you! ”

Liu Fan helped the three of them up with a smile on his face, and said to the three of them, "I've been chatting for so long, and I don't know the names of the three of you." Can you tell me about it? ”

"Wang Xing!" "Wang Wu!" "Zhao Bo" and the three hurriedly reported their names.

Liu Fan smiled and said, "Wang Xing, Wang Wu, Zhao Bo is!" Now that you've figured it out! Then take the money! Even if it's your settling-in fee! Liu Fan said and motioned to Li Xiaohu, Li Xiaohu hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Wang Xing's hand and said, "This is a pass of one thousand taels!" It can be claimed at all major banks. Take it! ”

"This! We can't ask for it! Please take it back! Wang Xing and the three of them were taken aback, one thousand taels! They have seen so much money in their lives, I'm afraid that their whole village, young and old, is not worth so much!

Liu Fan laughed: "This is your settling-in fee!" According to the tradition of our Broken Army, the settling-in allowance for an ordinary soldier is ten taels of silver, but since you are a special recruit, this thousand taels of silver is to compensate you, which is also what Madame meant! Take it! ”

The three of them suppressed the surging emotions in their hearts, took the silver ticket from Li Xiaohu's hand tremblingly, and kowtowed to Liu Fan and the two gratefully, "Thank you, Governor!" Thank you ma'am! ”

"That's it! Hurry up! Liu Fan helped the three of them up again and said

With excitement, the three of them said goodbye to Liu Fan and the others and left. Today is a lucky day for the three of them, it is their luck to meet Liu Fan on this day, and it is also Liu Fan's luck, and it will become the most unforgettable moment of their lives!

Since it's the Lantern Festival, how can you miss the lantern riddles! Lantern riddles were first developed from riddles and originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is a kind of literary game full of ridicule, discipline, humor, and laughter. In order to attract customers, the merchants in the capital often hang several beautiful lanterns in various shops, or write a poem on them, or hide words as a riddle for tourists to enjoy. If he guesses the answer, the merchant will give him the lantern.

"Gather by the West Lake, don't tear before the broken bridge" Liu Fan picked up a lantern, looked at the poems on it, and scratched his head a little. I thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with an answer. I couldn't help but ask the boss next to me, "Is this a guess word, or a guess idiom?" ”

"Words!" The boss replied succinctly

"Huh! West Lake! Before the bridge is broken! Liu Fan kept turning his thoughts in his heart, secretly guessing what the answer was.

"Xiang! Is it the boss? Shuying glanced at Liu Fan with a smile and said to the boss

The boss's eyes lit up and he praised, "The girl is really ice and snow smart!" You guessed it! Promise! This lamp is yours! After speaking, he took off the lantern and gave it to Shuying.

Shuying took the lantern and looked at Liu Fan with a proud face, showing off, "How is it?" Is this lantern good-looking for Brother Jimin? ”

"Beautiful!" Liu Fan replied with a crying face

"Do you want to keep guessing, girl? I still have a lot of riddles! Maybe it was because he saw that Shuying was beautiful and lovely, and the boss said to Shuying with a courteous face

Bao Longtu didn't say a word (guess the five Tang sentences)"

"There is no cloud in the blue sky!"

It's hard to say goodbye when you meet (guess an idiom)"

"Misfortune doesn't go alone!"

Watching Shuying guess the answer lightly, Liu Fan wanted to cry without tears. All right! Liu Fan is not very good at guessing lantern riddles, and often Liu Fan has not yet reacted to the fact that Shuying has already given the answer! Liu Fan has to admit that Shuying is indeed a talented woman, and all kinds of lantern riddles are easy to come by, and often some difficult lantern riddles are easy to solve in Shuying's hands. From the end of the street to the street, Shuying won no less than twenty lanterns because she guessed the lantern riddle, because of this, several men, including Liu Fan, everyone held a few lanterns!

Things are like this, Liu Fan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, in order to avoid becoming a mobile "charter plane" again, Liu Fan persuaded Shuying: "Ying'er! It's not too early, it's time to go back to Yuqiong Tower! ”

Shuying pouted when she heard this, and said with some dissatisfaction, "This is just the beginning, and there are still many lantern riddles that haven't been guessed yet!" People haven't had enough fun yet! Brother Jimin, you see there are still many beautiful lanterns there, why don't we go and take a look! ”

Liu Fan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly persuaded, "The lantern festival is about to start!" In the evening, we won't be able to see the most exciting moment of the lantern festival! You see, it's getting dark! ”

Shuying looked up and found that the sun had set at some point, and then looked at the funny appearance of Liu Fan and the others around her, and laughed "Hehe!" I think Brother Jimin is afraid that Ying'er will continue to guess the answer! ”

Liu Fan was said to be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Ying'er! You see, we've all got so many lanterns, and our hands are full! There's no room for it! Why don't you stop here today? ”

"Oh well! I'll let you go this time! Let's go! Let's go back to Yuqiong Building! (To be continued.) )
