Chapter 67. Huadeng Night Market (middle).
The appearance of this young man in the distance made Xiao Mo faintly feel familiar, as if he had seen it a long time ago. (Read the full text novel as much as possible on the Pick-up Literature Network)
And at such an age, who can have such a luxurious temperament and handsome appearance, Xiao Mo has only seen one person.
That person is the grandson of the prime minister of the dynasty, and the genius Zhang Yansheng who is as famous as Xiao Mo!!
After distinguishing for a while, soon, Xiao Mo finally confirmed the identity of this person.
Zhang Yansheng, why did he come to Shanxian County? Is it for yourself?
Xiao Mo frowned and thought darkly.
And Xiao Huan and Fan Guan were also attracted by the cheers, and under curiosity, they didn't care about arguing for a while, and pulled Xiao Mo towards the crowd.
"This old man, but I don't know why everyone is gathered here? And why do you cheer? β
After Xiao Huan squeezed into the crowd, he asked an old man beside him.
The old man smiled and pointed to Zhang Yansheng in the center of the crowd, and said excitedly: "That boy has already connected seven lights, he just announced that once the nine lights are connected, the pastries in this shop, we onlookers will each have a copy, haha." β
Hearing what the old man said, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan couldn't help but admire, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at that Yansheng.
Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of moon appreciation. According to the customs of the Chu Dynasty, the night market in the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival is even more lively, with colorful lanterns, almost daytime, playing music and lion dance, and it is endlessly lively.
Almost everyone, rich or poor, will take their families and children to the street market on this day, and rejoice with everyone in the city.
And I don't know when, the lantern riddle custom on the night of the Lantern Festival also gradually appeared in the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, on both sides of the street, in front of the merchants, there will be countless lantern riddles for passers-by to guess.
When people get together to discuss a lantern riddle, when people are jubilant for a lantern riddle to be solved, it adds a bit of excitement to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
And "over nine lights" is the most unique expression of this custom.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, some large shops will hang a large number of lantern riddles in front of their shop pΓΉ for visitors to guess, and there will be a reward after solving it, and this reward is often the product of the shop, such as the pastry shop in front of them, after the visitors solve the lantern riddle, the prize is often pastry.
In "Over the Nine Lights", when someone guesses a riddle, the merchant will remove the guessed riddle, and then hang a new riddle in front of the person, but the difficulty is much higher than the previous one, and there will be a higher reward after guessing.
If the person can guess nine lanterns in a row, the goods produced by the store that day will all belong to the person.
And this kind of activity is called "passing the nine lights" by the world.
It's just that this business is very profitable, and the "Over Nine Lights" event is only held to attract customers to gather popularity, so it will naturally not break the bank. So since the third lantern fan, the difficulty has been extremely high, and over the years, there are very few people who can connect the nine lights. And Zhang Yansheng can pass six lights in a row, which is already a rare talent and agility, but it is no wonder that Xiao Huan and Fan Guan are full of admiration.
And just when everyone was talking about each other, this pastry shop hung a new lantern riddle again in front of Zhang Yansheng.
And on the riddle, there are only two big words written - "rumination"!!
At the same time, the shopkeeper of the pastry shop was also alarmed by Zhang Yansheng's actions, and finally appeared in front of the store, and at this time he raised his voice and announced to everyone: "The seventh lamp, the puzzle 'rumination', ask for an idiom." β
Then he smiled at Zhang Yansheng and nodded, "This son, please understand." β
Although the protagonist at this time was Zhang Yansheng, as soon as the riddle came out, the field instantly quieted down, and everyone frowned and pondered, thinking about the answer, even Xiao Huan and Fan Guan beside Xiao Mo.
But Xiao Mo didn't pay attention to such a riddle, but turned his head and whispered to Deng Shangquan: "That person is Zhang Yansheng, do you know about his coming to Shanxian County?" β
Deng Shangquan's body shook, looked at Zhang Yansheng incredulously, and then said in a low voice: "I don't know, but according to my estimate, it should be for you, young master." β
Xiao Mo's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then he slowly ordered: "Go and check, there are some other people who came with him." β
Deng Shangquan bowed down, and his figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, without attracting anyone's attention.
And at this moment, when everyone on the field did not have the slightest eyebrows, Zhang Yansheng was already smiling and asked: "The answer is 'swallow and spit out'?" β
Hearing Zhang Yansheng's answer, the shopkeeper's face instantly became extremely ugly, because he was about to give Zhang Yansheng a hundred pastries for nothing, but he finally nodded yes.
With the confirmation of the owner of the shop, everyone on the field was jubilant.
Xiao Huan even sighed to Xiao Mo: "The cattle and sheep are all ruminant, and they are swallowing and vomiting when eating, how can I forget this sentence." β
Fan Guan exclaimed: "This son is very knowledgeable, and he has even read the "Agricultural Classic", I am not as good as him." β
In anticipation, the ninth light is about to arrive.
The face of the shopkeeper of the pastry shop was already very solemn at this time, and he personally took out a lantern riddle from the store and hung it in front of Zhang Yansheng, as if this could increase his certainty.
I saw that on the lanterns, there was a poem written for "Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep".
"The question has come out, or guess an idiom, son, please explain."
As the question came out, everyone was silent again, but compared with the previous question, this question made everyone even more unsightly.
Zhang Yansheng still looked at ease, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Li Bai's "Gift to Wang Lun" cloud: 'Li Bai was about to go on a boat, and suddenly heard the sound of singing on the shore. The Peach Blossom Lake is thousands of feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun to send me love. If the "Lun" of "Lunbi" is borrowed as the name of Wang Lun, which means the thousand-foot deep water of Peach Blossom Pond, then the answer is "incomparable"? β
At this time, the shopkeeper looked at the broken fortune, and in the cheers of everyone, he nodded yes, and said to Zhang Yansheng with admiration: "Childe is very talented, all the pastries in my store today belong to Childe." β
Zhang Yansheng said with a smile: "I said before that after I pass the nine lights, I will only send a box of high-quality pastries to each of the onlookers, and the shopkeeper only needs to take out two hundred boxes of pastries." Extra pastries, I took but it was useless. β
As Zhang Yansheng's words fell, the onlookers cheered again.
And the shopkeeper of the pastry shop was even more grateful, seeing Zhang Yansheng dressed luxuriously, he asked respectfully: "Thank you, son, the person who can connect the nine lights in my store will definitely not be an ordinary man." I also asked Childe to leave his name so that I could keep my book in the store. β
Zhang Yansheng shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just a nobody, it's not worth such a lift from the shopkeeper." β
As he spoke, Zhang Yansheng was about to turn around and leave, when several strong men appeared around him, protecting him in the middle and squeezing out of the crowd.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Yansheng's departing back, and said with regret on his face: "Childe's quick thinking is really the only thing that the old man has seen in his life, in the old man's opinion, in my single county, there can be such a talented person as the son, only that Xiao Mo Xiao Gongzi......"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper's body shook, as if he had thought of something, and pointed at Zhang Yansheng incredibly, exclaiming: "You are Xiao Mo's family!" β
As the shopkeeper's words fell, everyone in the field fell silent, and after a while, there was a sudden burst of unprecedented cheers, and all of them were much more excited than when they got the top-grade pastries before, and they all crowded towards Zhang Yansheng.
