Chapter 161: Guess the lantern riddle
Siqi had been to this town several times, and this time it was the most lively she had ever seen, and there were so many people.
Even if the adults don't tell them, they also know that they are holding hands, otherwise it will be easy to disband.
Siqi was holding Si Yao on the one hand, and Menghuan on the other, and it was very difficult to walk, and from time to time someone passed by them, but he didn't dare to let go of his hand, for fear of losing it.
Going inside a little bit, it's a little better, there are still a lot of people, but at least they won't be crowded.
Looking back, the adults in the family are gone, it is estimated that they are lagging behind, and the children are not in a hurry, just find them back by themselves in a while.
The lantern festival is set up on one of the main streets of the town, and the road is lined with stalls selling food, hairpins and handkerchiefs, and playing with pot throwers.
Siqi is also very curious, looking around, in fact, it is similar to the lively night market in the previous life, it is still quite fun.
There are many lanterns on the side of the stalls on both sides of the road, and in front of it, a large stage is set up, and various lanterns are hung on both sides.
These lanterns are different from the simple styles I just saw, and they are painstaking at first glance, and they have a variety of appearances, which are particularly beautiful, and I like them when I think about them.
Even if she likes it, she won't say that she wants to buy such a thing, the family's economic conditions don't allow it, and now she is still struggling, this thing is useless, what are you buying it for?
"Fill in the poems to win the lantern, five pennies for one, answer five questions correctly and there is a first-layer lantern, answer ten questions correctly to get the second layer, answer twenty questions correctly to get the third layer, as for the lantern on the top, naturally belong to the final winner."
The man pointed as he spoke, and the spectators who watched the excitement followed his hand in amazement when they saw the lantern on top.
"This lantern is really beautiful, it's so nice to look at."
"It's good-looking, and we ordinary people don't look like it when they hang it in their homes."
"I like it a lot, but I haven't studied, I'm illiterate, and I can't write poetry."
"Hahaha, you give me the money you signed up for, and I'll win it for you."
The man just now smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll give you five cents to sign up, if you want to win for me, you can buy me one." β
Many people on the side are ready to move, and one after another people have signed up.
Isn't it just a lively picture to come to the town to see the lantern festival, and the five cents are not much, what if the question is simple and you can answer it correctly? You can win a beautiful palace lantern and go back.
Even if you lose, it's fun, this is a game that readers participate in, and you have face when you say it.
Siqi and a few of them also think it's very interesting, standing there and watching the excitement, anyway, they are here to play, and they stop where it's fun.
Twenty people participated in one round, the others waited for the next round, and soon the competition began.
A person on the stage took out a shelf, there were written poems on it, but a few of the words were missing, and the contestants each had a box in their hands, which contained a lot of small bamboo blocks, and they had to find out the missing words from it within the specified time, and the order was correct, which was considered to be passed.
Question 1: In front of the windowβlight,βthe groundβ
The corners of Siqi's mouth twitched, and he thought it was a difficult question, this is the kindergarten level, right?
But even if she knew, she couldn't tell the answer, after all, her current identity was an ignorant girl, and she didn't even know a word, so how could she read poetry?
Zikang said on the side, "This question is not difficult, Tiankuo, let's participate in the next round, I happen to have some copper plates on me." β
Tiankuo smiled and said, "I'll take it with me too, you can go, I don't want to go, I'll sign up for you." β
Zikang smiled, "Then you're welcome, do you want a lamp?" I'm going to win one back. β
The girls in the family smiled and nodded, and said gracefully, "It would be nice if Zikang could win the second layer, I think that peach blossom is good-looking." β
Si Yao smiled, "I like the one with Xinghua." β
Siqi also joined in the fun, "Then I'll be the top one, second brother, you can answer well, give us a few more wins." β
Stick to the end, and you can get the prizes in front, a total of a few lights.
Zikang said, "Then the big brother will also go together, so that the two of us can win more, and I am not enough alone." β
"Okay." Zijun didn't squirm, and directly agreed, "Let's go and sign up." β
The two of them were about to leave, and Tian Kuang hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll go too." β
Zikang smiled, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't go?" Now I'm going to join in the fun, let's go, let's go together. β
The two of them walked forward, Tiankuo turned around and smiled, "Siqi, if I get the top lamp, I'll give it to you." β
After speaking, he didn't wait for his answer, turned around and left.
Tianyou muttered on the side, "Hmph, I thought my brother was going to get me a lamp." β
Siqi smiled and said, "You're a boy, what do you want that kind of lantern for?" This is for girls. β
Tianyou sighed, "Hey, then I'll play secretly." β
While talking, this round of the game has reached the third question, and the question is still very simple.
hoe βββ ,ββ soil in the afternoon.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these topics might all be from 300 Tang poems, and there was no need to challenge them anyway.
But even so, many people can still be eliminated in each game, which is not difficult to understand, at this time the level of cultural education is not high, and there are not many people who have studied, not to mention that you have to remember these poems.
The farmer only needs to memorize the 24 solar terms clearly, and the poems can't help them plant, so it's useless to memorize.
If you really have a high level of education, and you are a showman or something, you may disdain to participate in such activities.
When it came to the eighth question, there were only three people in this round, and the question was still not difficult, and all three people in this game answered correctly, and it was obvious that these three people had read a lot.
The boss took out the ninth question again: But - Chengfei - in, don't teach - Ma Duββγ
The difficulty of this question is obviously not at the same level as the previous one, and it took a closer look at it before thinking about the correct answer.
But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain.
This is Wang Changling's "Out of the Stopper", although it is not a particularly out-of-the-way poem, but it is much more difficult than "Silent Night Thoughts".
The boss should have seen that these three people had strength, so he began to increase the difficulty, otherwise he would not have to take out a lot of lanterns to make prizes, then he would not be able to make money.
This is all a conventional routine, you can see it at a glance, if the three people in this game can still answer, the next game of questions will be more difficult, anyway, we must ensure that he can make money.
