Chapter 50 – Guess the lantern riddle
"Eldest sister, won't you come along and have a look?" Seeing that Cheng Xueyi was taken away like this, but Murong still didn't look like a wave, Zoyi asked suspiciously, isn't it a friend I haven't seen for a long time! Why don't you worry about it now!
Unexpectedly, after the other party heard this, he didn't feel anything wrong, just smiled slightly, and said to Zoyi:
"Second sister, you-oh, by the way, your memory hasn't recovered yet, it shouldn't be clear, let's put it this way, the city patrol envoy just now is named Cheng Hongwen, Cheng Xueyi's eldest brother, pro-eldest brother, their brother and sister relationship has been very good since childhood!"
Murong Yixue also nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, second sister, Sister Xueyi and Brother Cheng have a very good relationship, they are brother and sister, although they ...... Although Brother Cheng sometimes looks a little fierce, just like just now, he is actually very protective! ”
Very good? Zoyi recalled the quail appearance that had just become snowy, and she was afraid that she would be like this, and she didn't think it was strange when she thought of the black face of the city patrol envoy!
"In that case, then...... Let's just keep playing? Zoyi asked tentatively after thinking for a moment.
Murong Yixue responded with a smile: "Okay, good!" ”
In this way, after a small episode, several people began to play happily again.
According to the modern time, it is already more than ten o'clock, but everything here is still brightly lit, Zoyi looked at the expressions of the people next to him, and they all looked unanimously interested, and they didn't look tired of playing at all.
But also, Zoyi thought about it, these ancients basically had no activities at night, and it was not surprising that they looked like this lantern festival that was so lively at first glance.
"Second sister, second sister, what are you thinking!"
Murong Yixue's few words instantly pulled Zuo Yiyi's thoughts back.
Zoyi blinked a few times, "No, Ah Xue, I wasn't thinking about anything, I just was stunned for a while, what's wrong?" ”
Murong Yixue: "Ah, that's it, second sister, by the way, the eldest sister just said that she wanted to drink some wine, so she didn't go with us first, you were in a daze just now, and you may not have heard it." ”
"Well, that's okay! Let's just play by ourselves, by the way, you two with green branches and red sleeves, do you want to play by yourself, follow us all the time, and don't have much free time, right? ”
Murong Yixue: "Yes, yes, Sister Green Branch, and Sister Red Sleeves, you can go play by yourself, I'm with the second sister, it's okay." ”
Green Branch and Red Sleeves glanced at each other in unison, and hesitated: "Second Miss, Third Miss, this ............"
Zuo Yiyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, so be it, Ah Xue and I will go first, and then we will gather at the Yongan Teahouse at two o'clock." ”
After speaking, he took Murong Yixue and left, regardless of the expressions of the two people behind.
"Second sister, second sister, let's go guess the lantern riddle!"
"Uh......" Zoyi paused, he was not good at this kind of brain-testing activity, and he originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing Murong Yiyi's words, he changed his mind.
"Yiyi, go ahead, if you're not good at it, I'll just tell you!"
Zuo Yiyi smiled and said to Murong Yixue, "Huh? How did you change your mind, but it's okay, do you want to go now? ”
"Uh-huh, because I suddenly want to play, and now there are a lot of people, and it's exciting!"
The activity of guessing lantern riddles has always been very elegant in Zoyi's heart, and the people who come to play are young men and women, or drooping children who have not yet grown up.
But when Zuo Yiyi and Murong Yixue arrived at the street where they guessed the lantern riddle, they found that her idea was too narrow, this kind of guessing the lantern riddle was simply suitable for all ages, why were there only so many people?
Compared with other streets, there are many more people on this street where the riddle is guessed, old and young, men and women, and people of different ages are mixed together, how lively is it!
"Come on, come on, the next topic is to solve the three autumn leaves, to bloom February flowers, to cross the river and thousands of waves, and to enter the bamboo poles."
"Untie the three autumn leaves, can you ............, what is this?"
"Xiaosheng dares to try, the mystery is the wind."
"You guessed it! This boy earns one point! ”
…
"Listen, Daddy reads to you: Three, four, five, like a bow, fifteen or sixteen is majestic, everyone says that I am thirty years old, twenty-eight, nine will be sent to the end."
"Three, four, five, like a bow? What is this!? Daddy, can you give me a hint! ”
"Okay, well, hint, this thing only comes out at night."
"Come out at night, hmm~ I still haven't figured it out, A-Niang, do you know?"
"I know, but you have to figure it out by yourself, but if you really can't think of it, you can look up at the sky."
"Look at the sky, what's in the sky? Hmmm~ah! I've figured it out! It's the moon, isn't it! ”
Daddy and Auntie: "That's right! You're so smart! ”
…
"Half a moon."
"The moon of a hundred years ago."
"The sun is gone, the moon is here."
…………
There were people guessing lantern riddles everywhere, Zuo Yiyi and Murong Yixue looked left and right excitedly, their eyes were shining, all of them were novel.
Because the place is big and there are many people, the two of them randomly found a place to guess lantern riddles, and there happened to be many people around here.
The shopkeeper took a riddle and shouted: "Come on, come on, everyone listen well, this riddle is to open the half moon, receive it in the pocket, come when the lotus flowers are in bloom, and go to the chrysanthemum sky yellow." Hit an object. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, everyone began to think about it, and when Zuo Yiyi saw this, there was no movement in her mind, she really had no idea, so she began to ask Murong Yiyi secretly.
"Murong! Do you know what the answer is? ”
After Murong Yiyi listened to the riddle, she lowered her head and thought for a while before she figured it out, only to see her smile confidently: "Yiyi, I have already figured it out, the riddle is the folding fan!" ”
Folding fan! Zoyi blinked, her eyes looked at the people next to her secretly, to see if they had come up with it, and found that they were all looking like they were thinking hard, and she was secretly proud in her heart, hey! I know the answer!
Hmph, Zoyi cleared her throat, "The mystery is to fold—"
"The mystery is a folding fan, right?" A clear voice came out before Zoyi could say, damn it! Someone preempted it!
Zoyiyi immediately looked towards the source of the sound, in fact, it was not difficult to find people, because everyone present also looked at the yellow cedar girl.
I saw her wearing a goose-yellow cloud smoke shirt embroidered with repaired orchids, a mopping the floor with an antique double butterfly thousand water skirt, combing the hair bun of a girl who had not left the pavilion on her head, and a golden begonia style step, and the rest of the green silk was scattered down, thin powder, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a faint smile appeared on her face at the right time, revealing a dignified and elegant temperament.
"I guess the answer is the folding fan! Did the store say yes or no?" Again.
The shopkeeper was an elderly grandfather, and when he heard someone answer, the folds on his face were all smiling, "That's right! That's right! This girl got it right! The answer to the mystery is the folding fan! Looks like the gift has to go to this girl! ”
As he spoke, he took down a suspected purse from the shelf, bulging it, and handed it to the girl.
The smile on the girl's face deepened when she heard the shopkeeper's affirmation, and two small pear vortices appeared on either side of her cheeks.
Murong Yiyi: "Hey, isn't this Sister Yumei?" ”
Zuo Yiyi's heart moved, "Miss Chen? Murong, you know her! ”
Before Murong Yiyi could answer her question, that Miss Chen had already seen her, and saw her smiling, her eyebrows and eyes curled in a beautiful arc, and she walked towards Zuo Yiyi with slender steps.
"Yiyi, long time no see!"
Belch...... Looking at the beauty's looking forward to her life, Zuo Yiyi didn't know how to answer, so she had to follow her words and said, "Yes, Sister Yumei, it's been a long time!" ”
Chen Yumei smiled and nodded, her demeanor was myriad, and then her eyes swept over Zuo Yiyi and then looked at Murong Yixue, "I don't know who this is?"
Murong Yiyi: "Ah Xue was not in good health before, and her mother never let her come out, not even some ordinary banquets, so Miss Chen didn't know Ah Xue. ”
Zoyi blinked, it turned out to be like this, no wonder this Miss Chen asked her just now.
"This is the sister-in-law, she didn't do much because of illness before, so her mother didn't allow her to come out, but she has been fine recently, and there is no sign of recurrence, so I took her out to play."
"Hello Miss Chen." Murong Yixue had been listening to the side, and after hearing Zuo Yiyi introduce herself, she bowed to the other party and shouted with a smile.
"I see!" Miss Chen suddenly realized, looked at Murong Yixue with a smile, and said gently: "Yiyi calls you Ah Xue, then it's good for me to call you Ah Xue, Ah Xue, I am one year older than your sister, you can call me Sister Yumei like your sister." ”
Murong Yixue nodded obediently, "Okay, Sister Yumei." ”
Chen Yumei and Zuo Yiyi glanced at each other, laughed in unison, and then looked at the old man in unison.
It happened that the old man began to read the riddle again: "This flower has not been planted since ancient times, and it will bloom in the middle of winter, it is strange that there are no roots and no leaves, and the spring breeze blows back to the sky." ”
After reading the riddle, he put the lantern back and pointed to a pot of flowers on the shelf, "Everyone, pay attention, whoever wants to answer the riddle of this question will belong to him!" ”
Looking at the pot of delicate flowers, Murong Yixue's face clearly showed a longing expression, and after the old man finished reading the riddle, he began to think seriously about the riddle.
Zoyi: "Hey, Murong, have you figured it out?" What is this? ”
"I guess...... It's supposed to be a snowflake, right? ”
"Snowflakes?"
Murong Yiyi: "Well, I think it's this, but I'm not sure, or ...... I'm going to ask Sister Ayan?"
"No, I believe you! That's it. ”
After asking, Zoyii was not so curious about the answer, she looked at the two people standing beside her, one was still thinking seriously, and the other had a hesitant look on his face, it seemed that he had figured it out, but he was not sure.
"Hey, did you figure it out?" Zoyi poked her finger and asked in a low voice.
"I thought I wanted to come out, but I didn't...... Pretty sure. ”
In this way, Zuo Yiyi understood, and then looked at Murong Yixue again, seeing that she was so serious, so she didn't bother for now.
It happened that at this time, a scholar stood up, dressed in green clothes, wearing a cloth hat, tied with a belt behind his head, holding a paper folding fan in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Seeing that everyone didn't come up with it, Xiaosheng dared to try, but plum blossoms?"
The old man looked at him with a smile, and before he could speak, someone next to him had already retorted: "No, no, if it's a plum blossom, then it's really strange that there are no roots and no leaves, how to explain this sentence?" ”
After listening to this, the boy pondered for a while, and then made a gesture to the one who had just pointed out his mistake, and said humbly: "I see, thank you for pointing it out." ”
"Eh, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
Seeing this, Zuo Yiyi patted Murong Yixue lightly, and secretly whispered to her the answer Murong Yiyi had just said to her.
After Murong Yixue heard this, her eyes instantly lit up, and then she raised her hand and said excitedly: "Grandpa, grandpa look at me, I figured it out, the answer is Xuehua, right?"
After she said this, those who didn't guess looked at her, and the old man also looked at her with a smile, and said softly: "This girl is right, it seems that this pot of magnolia flowers belongs to this girl." ”
Murong Yixue laughed happily, her cheeks were red, and she took the pot of flowers excitedly.
