"Miss, there are people who guess lantern riddles, and they will send lanterns if they guess." Chun'er pointed to a lantern stand not far away and said happily.

In order to have fun with the people, the official will engage in some activities to drive the enthusiasm of the people, such as guessing the lantern riddle is one of them, every street has it, the lanterns are pasted with anagrams, as long as you guess the lanterns can be taken away, this is also a kind of welfare for the subjects, these lanterns are ordinary lanterns, only guess those difficult lantern riddles, you can get those beautiful lanterns, of course, if you can't guess and you like the lantern very much, you can also, buy it with silver.

"Liu Yuan, why don't you go and have a look?" Although Cui Mengyao is a famous lady, she does not have a trace of shelf, and in front of people, she gives Liu Yuan enough face.

Before Liu Yuan could speak, Du Sanniang, who liked to play, jumped coquettishly and said: "Liu Yuan, go play, go play, this is fun." ”

"Young master, let's go and see, I haven't seen such a lively scene?" Dai Qisi also said curiously.

She came to the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but Chang'an's Shangyuan Festival, or the first time to appreciate, today because of Liu Yuan's three strategies to enrich the treasury, the treasury is full, and there is no pressure to hold these activities, so this year's lanterns are particularly beautiful and bright, and many dignitaries and nobles also step out to appreciate it.

"Come out to play, go ahead." The beauties had a request, but Liu Yuan naturally would not refuse, and agreed with a smile.

The man who is in charge of guarding the lantern stall here is an old man, and when he saw Liu Yuan and his party coming, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and saluted: "This little Langjun is personable, and several little ladies are bright and beautiful, and they are really troublesome passers-by." ”

The lantern stalls are mostly people who eat idle in the yamen, and they are the most observant on weekdays, and they see Liu Yuan's group of people with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary behavior. Zhilu Dao is a nobleman, and he doesn't dare to slack off, so he will come to salute immediately, maybe

Liu Yuan signaled, and Dai Lisi stepped forward and handed a silver bean to the old man: "My young master will reward you." ”

"Gongzi Xie, Gongzi Xie" The old man was overjoyed, and made two salutes in a row, like them, they are still staying here during the Shangyuan Festival. In addition to the duties, in fact, it is also to get a little reward, if the business is good, there are also some subsidies, such as selling lanterns There will be a commission. The reward money can be put into your own pocket.

The little lady pointed to the beautiful lanterns and said, "This old man." Are these lanterns something that can be taken away if you guess the riddle? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Just guess the answer to the riddle and take it. After speaking, the old man lowered his voice and said, "I just can't guess, which one the little lady likes, just take it." ”

The cost of a lantern is only a few cents, and it is a good twenty or thirty cents. The silver beans that Liu Yuan gave weighed two coins, and when they were exchanged for copper coins, they were enough to have two hundred yuan, which was to send a few lanterns. What does it matter, anyway, the answer to the riddle is given away for nothing, and if you guess it or not, who knows what to do? If you say it, it's in.

"Uncle Xie, let's take a look first." Xiao Niang said gratefully.

Liu Yuan said jokingly: "No, maybe, we can all guess it, and then the old man will not be distressed." ”

"Where, where, this is the official thing, if this son guesses it all, the little old man can go home early." The old man was also a funny person, and said with a smile on his face.

Du Sanniang applauded on the side and said, "Okay, let's compete to see which one guesses the most and gets the most exquisite lantern." ”

"Okay, that's interesting." Cui Mengyao is also very confident in herself, and she echoed when she heard this.

Only Xiao Niang said a little timidly: "You are all talented women, I, I don't know anything." ”

Du Sanniang used to be the top brand in Yangzhou, with excellent talents, like writing poems and riddles, which is her specialty of spending time with guests; Cui Mengyao is a famous lady, full of poetry and books, just looking at her temperament knows that she is extraordinary; Senior brother Liu Yuan, that's even more amazing, a famous talent in Yangzhou, once overwhelmed the first talent in the north, all of them are masters, only they don't seem to know anything, the most proficient is to lie behind Liu Yuan's back to be a little woman, and now when it comes to guessing these difficult riddles, I really don't know it.

Liu Yuan patted his chest and said confidently: "It's okay, you just follow me, I'll cover you." ”

"Oh, that's good, brother." The little lady was relieved and responded immediately, anyway, with the senior brother here, she was not afraid.

There were no opinions, and a few people split up and started guessing the riddle.

Liu Yuan led the little lady to a beautiful lotus lamp, stretched out his hand to hold the note at the bottom of the lamp, and began to look, only to see that it was written: A little bit is gold (type)

"Senior brother, guess what, I like this lotus lantern." Xiao Niang said anxiously on the side.

"This" Liu Yuan coughed, and said a little embarrassedly: "This won't be for a while, let's look at something else." ”

"Oh, I'll listen to my brother."

As soon as Liu Yuan turned around, he heard Du Sanniang say with a look of surprise: "A little bit is gold, and a little bit is two points, hey, isn't that [full] word?" It's too easy, let's go down to the city first. ”

The little lady looked at Liu Yuan and opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything very obediently.

Liu Yuan walked to another lantern unconvinced, picked up the lantern riddle and looked at it, only to see that it was written: The pear blossom on the branch covers the half curtain (type), I can't figure it out, what is the relationship between the pear blossom and the curtain, I know that it is a word, but I really don't have that talent, and I can't think of it after staying for a long time.

"Liu Yuan, you also came up with this lantern riddle?" Cui Mengyao suddenly asked Liu Yuan.

"That, this one is very difficult, I can't guess it, what, you, you guessed it?" Liu Yuan said a little embarrassed.

Cui Mengyao covered her mouth and smiled: "Well, I couldn't think of it for a while just now, and I wanted to give up, but I didn't expect to suddenly have inspiration, but since you are watching, you should come." ”

"No, no" Liu Yuan made a gesture of invitation to Cui Mengyao and said: "I can't guess, since you guessed it, then please, it's best to explain it, I can't think of it?" ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan was still a gentleman and took off the riddle under the lantern and sent it to Cui Mengyao's hand, so that she could get the old man who guarded the lantern to answer the riddle in a while, if it was right, the old man would take off the lantern for her, if she guessed wrong, then the note had to be put back in its original place.

"Well, Xie Lu Xie" Cui Mengyao felt sweet in her heart and gently took the note. Then he explained softly: "The branch is next to a [wood], the pear blossom is white, and the half curtain is a [towel] character, which adds up to a [cotton] character." ”

It's the head again, what kind of pear blossom is it, Liu Yuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, these people are the masters of word splitting, Liu Yuan usually has no interest in these, so it is very difficult to solve.

Cui Mengyao smiled and said, "Liu Yuan, you are talented. I didn't expect it to be so simple and stump you, it seems that you don't bother to do these trails. ”

It's very good, although it is not the one who laughs at Liu Yuan, but he still finds a reason for Liu Yuan very considerately, so that Liu Yuan does not have a good rank.

Liu Yuan had no choice but to push: "I don't know what to do." Tonight's brain is a little dull. ”

After a few words, Liu Yuan and Cui Mengyao went separately to continue solving the lantern riddle. After all, when the two were chatting. Du Sanniang didn't stop, just chatting, took a beautiful lantern from the old man's hand, handed it to the maid Xiaodie, and then picked up the anagram and solved it non-stop, Cui Mengyao was a little anxious. She wanted to divide herself from Du Sanniang to prove that she was the best, so she chatted a few words and hurriedly went to solve the riddle.

Liu Yuan was not convinced. Continue to look at it, convinced that there is always one of you who can guess.

Household weeping poplar (playing an idiom), this doesn't seem to be.

There is still a sparse plum pond (hit a flower tree), and I can't see it.

Meng Dezhong planned to kill Cai Yang (playing an idiom), and he couldn't think of it.

Waiting for the fish to take the bait (playing an idiom), Liu Yuan found the old man with great interest, and said to [the wisher took the bait], and the old man regretfully told him that this was wrong, and the mystery should be [unveiled and raised]

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he thought that he had two lifetimes of human experience, these were just pediatrics, but he didn't expect that his brain would not turn sharply, he was really powerless about these, and when he got to the back, the little lady ran to see Du Sanniang solve the puzzle, and I don't know if I don't have confidence in Liu Yuan, or I'm afraid that Liu Yuan will be too embarrassed, it seems that the sentence [There is no free lunch in the world] is right, you can take away the lantern for free if you guess it, even if it is a free thing, it is not so easy to get.

How many talented people are there in the world?

Liu Yuan inadvertently looked at it, and his face turned red: Cui Mengyao's personal maid Chun'er took six or seven beautiful lanterns, as if she couldn't take them anymore, and Xiaofluttershy also took seven or eight in her hands, seeing that the momentum of the two girls was still very strong, and then looking at her own hands, they were empty, and there was no lantern, which was really a loss of authority.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he saw that the small lantern on the side had a lantern riddle that he had seen in his previous life, it was [both Shengyu and He Shengliang (playing an idiom)], Liu Yuan remembered very clearly, it was [self-sighing], he exhaled a long breath in his heart, and did not pick up the lantern riddle paper, directly took the whole lantern, walked to the old man, and said confidently: "Uncle, I guessed this, it is [self-sighing], right?" ”

This time I was sure in my heart, and it was reasonable to say that.

"This son, yes, yes, it's just that the old man's expression was first surprised, and then he didn't believe it, and then he looked a little embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything anymore after half of what he said.

"Plop" twice, Du Sanniang and Cui Mengyao on the side couldn't help but look at Liu Yuan and snickered, especially Du Sanniang's little hooves, laughing so much that Liu Yuan felt a little hairy in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "That, did I do something wrong?" ”

This is a man wearing a scholar's clothes and guessing riddles on the side, and said mockingly: "What a good man, a manly man, even took a small lantern for the boy to guess." ”

What the? This is for the boys?

No wonder the old man's expression was so rich, and Du Sanniang and Cui Mengbiao both laughed and fainted, this embarrassment was too big.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way if you don't want to die." Just when Liu Yuan wanted to explain, he suddenly heard the sound of someone shouting and a healthy horse running, Liu Yuan heard the sound and looked at it, and could see clearly in the candlelight, a soldier-like person riding a healthy horse, shouting and whipping desperately, everyone flew as if they were retreating, giving way, panicked for a while, suddenly, the healthy horse "neighed", his legs were weak, and then there was a muffled sound of "snap", and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the soldier on the healthy horse also fell two heels.

When I looked closely, I saw that the healthy horse was sweating all over his body, and he fell to the ground, so tired that the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, hinder the military aircraft, you can't afford to wait." The soldier was lucky, and he fell like this, but it was only painful, and as soon as he got up, he immediately stumbled towards the palace.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with this person, this person?"

Du Sanniang said angrily: "It scared me, who is so bold, riding a horse like this in Chang'an, and he is not afraid of hitting and hurting people?" ”

Liu Yuan shook his head and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that something big will happen!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
