Lin Ruan didn't have the slightest resistance to his helpless and doting tone, and immediately blushed, but fortunately, his face was covered tightly, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, but the light in his eyes couldn't cover it at all.

Xiao Jingchen rubbed the little hand in his palm, turned around, and took the mystery handed over by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Lord Wang, this is the most difficult one, and no one has been able to solve it." ”

Lin Ruan curiously tiptoed a glance at the puzzle on the paper, only to see that it was written: "Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; It is like foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, which are neither domestic animals nor wild animals. Typing. ①”

She scratched her head and thought for a while, what the hell is this?

Those who watched the excitement next to him were also confused. "I guessed it just now, but I couldn't guess it."

Someone asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have an answer to this riddle, and how can there be such a word?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Naturally, there is a mystery, every riddle has an answer, as long as it can be answered correctly, it will fulfill the promise." The promise of this riddle was a table of ladies worth twenty taels of silver. Just guess it and cash it out right away. ”

"Alas, who can guess this, black and white are not, red and yellow are not, similar to foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, and not domestic animals and beasts, what is this word? I can't think of it, I can't think of it if I want to break my head. ”

When everyone was shaking their heads, Xiao Jingchen suddenly opened his mouth: "Guess." ”

"Then you guessed!"

"Guess what?"

Xiao Jingchen saw that these people didn't understand what he meant at all, so he asked the shopkeeper to bring a pen and paper over, and wrote the word "guess" on the paper: "This is the riddle." ”

Everyone suddenly realized that this black, white, red and yellow is not it, that is green. It seems to be like a fox, wolf, cat and dog, and it is not a domestic animal, so together, it is not a guess.

Someone couldn't wait to ask the shopkeeper: "But this word?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Exactly, the prince guessed correctly." ”

Lin Ruan said happily: "Then cash it out." ”

The shopkeeper immediately invited the man inside.

Those who watched the excitement saw the most difficult riddle guessed, and shouted to leave, after all, there is nothing more to look forward to.

Xiao Jingchen picked up his pen again and wrote a new riddle: "There are poems, words, and Analects, which are vague about the east and west, north and south, although it is a short product, it is a wonderful article." ②”

After writing it, Xiao Jingchen handed over the riddle to the shopkeeper and said, "If anyone can guess this, forty taels of noodles can be folded into cash." ”

At this moment, everyone was excited.

Forty taels of silver, which can also be converted into cash, is like a pie in the sky.

But what is the mystery?

Lin Ruan followed Xiao Jingchen into the restaurant, and as soon as he sat down on the chair in the private room, he hurriedly asked, "What is the mystery?" ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to solve it?" ”

Lin Ruan covered his mouth and smiled: "Then where can it?" The mystery you deliberately came up with in order to maintain your popularity, if I go to solve it, won't I dismantle your platform? ”

The corners of Xiao Jingchen's mouth hooked slightly: "It's okay if you go and solve it, I'll think about a few more." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "Forget it, this is so boring, besides, if you think about one more, the silver will definitely have to be given more." ”

Xiao Jingchen smiled and stopped talking.

Soon, the noodles were served, and it was indeed very rich, and the two of them couldn't eat it at all.

Lin Ruan turned his head to the green calyx and Fei Fu and said, "Why don't you sit down and eat some too?" ”

The two shook their heads like rattles, joking, eating with Xiao Wangye, even if he didn't treat them for a big disrespectful crime, they were afraid that what they ate would not be able to restrain themselves.

Lin Ruan was also considerate, and asked Xiao Er to send a few empty bowls up, divided some of the dishes, and let the two of them go aside to eat.

The four of them were in the private room, enjoying the spoils of war comfortably. And in the light market outside, Gu Ruan was strolling around the stalls with his own ring.

Her maid kept persuading: "Girl, it's not too early, let's go home early." With so many people, beware of being scattered again. ”

Gu Ruan said impatiently: "Shut up! Keep urging and urging, annoying! I'm still waiting to see the lanterns! ”

The lantern parade is one of the most popular events in the entire illumination market, with hundreds of lanterns paraded around the main streets of Kyoto.

But this is also the most chaotic program, because there are so many people watching it, and there are many people who are scattered during the parade.

In the past, when Gu Ruan came out to visit the lantern market, he was accompanied by many government guards, and it was impossible to watch the lantern parade up close.

She's been hanging out outside today and refusing to go home, so she can see it up close.

Gu Ruan's maid couldn't persuade her, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, so she could only follow her closely, and she didn't dare to lag behind half a step.

After waiting for a while, there was a drum sound, and Gu Ruan said excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

In the distance, I saw a long glowing dragon swimming towards this direction, followed by countless lanterns of all kinds.

The lanterns in the streets are different every year, and there are surprises every year, so people throughout Kyoto are looking forward to this show the most.

Gu Ruan was not tall, crowded and crowded, she couldn't see too many scenes at all, so she had to shout at the top of her voice: "Let go, I'm from the Dingguo Mansion, you hurry up and get out of the way for me, don't block me from seeing the light!" ”

The name of the Dingguo Mansion was really good, and the people in front immediately gave way to a position.

Gu Ruan immediately squeezed in, and when her maid wanted to squeeze in too, it was already a step too late.

The girls were so anxious that they shouted outside: "Girl, girl, it's time to go home." ”

But the long dragon had already arrived, and the voices were full of people, and their voices were directly drowned out.

Gu Ruan successfully squeezed into the crowd, but no one saw the lanterns as he wished, but was coerced by the crowd and walked in a certain direction uncontrollably.

There were too many people, and her figure was petite, it was impossible to stop, and she almost fell down several times, so frightened that she quickly pulled the clothes of the people next to her. If you fall in such an environment, the consequences can be imagined.

Gu Ruan already regretted it a little at this time, she knew that she should honestly find a restaurant and just sit upstairs and watch. Now it's squeezed like this, if something happens, how can I get it?

But it was useless to regret at this moment, she could only stumble and follow the crowd passively.

When she finally squeezed out of the crowd, she found herself squeezed in front of an alley.

In front of him was a brightly lit and crowded street, but the alley behind him was too quiet and dark.

Gu Ruan felt a little scared, and hurriedly took two steps, instinctively wanting to leave the alley, but before she could take two steps, suddenly a big hand covered her mouth and dragged her into the alley.
