Tu Ye stood aside, always feeling that he was the forgotten person, so he tried to change the topic and said, "Bai Ci, didn't you say that you came today to buy some jewelry for your mother." Bai Ci nodded, "Exactly." The corners of Tu Ye's mouth raised, and he said: "There is a competition in this Amazing Magpie Pavilion today, and the prize of the competition is the treasure of their town store, Luo Shen Hairpin ...... Oops, this Roselle hairpin, but it's so good-looking, if anyone wears it, it's definitely eye-catching......"

Bai Ci smiled and replied, "Oh? yes, so I'm going to have to come out on top......"

Tu Ye also smiled and said, "Then let's compare!" ”

Xiao Lingran looked at the two of them, very calm on the surface, but all he thought about in his heart was the Luo Shen hairpin, the hairpin was so good-looking, and he wanted it very much...... At this moment, the shopkeeper of the Amazing Magpie Pavilion also spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not too early!" Now, I announce that today's contest has officially begun! ”

The people below were very popular, and of course the most heard was the voice of the girl's family. When the crowd quieted down, the chubby shopkeeper finally began to read out the rules of the game:

"The rules of the competition are as follows, first of all, the contestants in this competition must be men's ......"

"Ahh

"Silence! You can let your lover, husband, or brother or brother help you to compete! The shopkeeper added, and the girls at the bottom immediately called their sweethearts, or the men of the family, to come.

"So what about the content of today's competition, combined with today's atmosphere, let's play guessing lantern riddles, and I will give each of the participating men a piece of paper. Then I will come up with a few questions, and you will have to write the answers on a piece of paper in order. After the answer is completed, the paper will be put away, and the person who answers the most correctly will win the competition. ”

Subsequently, many graceful women were sent to the stage in the Amazing Magpie Pavilion, all holding a stack of white paper in their hands. The shopkeeper pointed to the blank paper and said, "Next, the men who are interested in participating can come up to the stage to receive a blank paper, and the competition is about to begin!" ”

Everyone at the bottom rushed to the front of the stage, and after a while, the blank paper in the hands of those girls was finished, and the game began.

The shopkeeper stood on the stage, saw that the people below were basically ready, and said, "Okay, I announce the official start of the game!" Let's listen to the first question ......"

The first few questions are basically common in the lantern riddles, and most of the participants know the riddles, of course, there are a small number of people who don't know the answers at the beginning, and the lantern riddles in the back are getting more and more difficult.

"Please listen to the question, it is already a cliff with ice, especially flowers, this mystery is to play a ......solar term," the shopkeeper said, and did not forget to give some hints. At the beginning of this question, some people made difficulties, but Tu Ye, he couldn't do it at the beginning, so he had to give up the game and stand aside to watch the white speech and continue to answer. Bai Ci seems to be very familiar with these riddles, and he does every question with ease, and after this question is finished, the corners of Bai Ci's mouth rise slightly.

Tu Ye saw him snickering there, so he asked, "What is the answer to this question?" ”

"It's the winter solstice." Bai Ci whispered, Tu Ye nodded, he still didn't come up with it, and soon after, the shopkeeper continued to talk about the lantern riddle:

"There is a house in front of the flowers, please guess a common plant." After listening to this question, more than half of the people at the bottom were thinking there, but they didn't put pen to paper; There are also a small number of people who are really embarrassed and leave the scene in shame.

Tu Ye was stupid again, and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, don't you know what it is!" ”

Bai Ci laughed and replied, "You really said the answer." ”

"Huh?" Tu Ye was puzzled.

"The answer to the mystery is the gourd." Bai Ci whispered.

"Why, how did you know it was a gourd?"

"The lakeside is sparse by the fence, and the word lake removes the three points of water next to it and becomes Hu; There are people in front of the flower, and the person is the household word, and the flower is the grass word, which together is the reed; Aren't these two words a gourd together? Bai Ci explained in a whisper.

Tu Ye pouted, "Okay, okay, I can't guess anyway." ”

While the two of them were chatting, the shopkeeper began to ask the next question.

"Everyone, pay attention, the competition is coming to an end, and this question is also the last question I will make, and the reason why this question appears in the finale must be because it is more testing for everyone...... This riddle is very short, only four words - a trace of bitterness, please guess the name of the Chinese medicine. ”

"What is this......

"Chinese medicine? ……”

There are few "survivors" left at the bottom who began to talk about it, if they test some daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if it is a celebrity poetry book or something, maybe someone has read one or two; But this test is different, what is the name of the Chinese herbal medicine, who can know!

"What's the answer to this question?" Tu Ye looked around, but no one moved his pen, so he asked Bai Ci next to him.

I saw that Bai Ci also made a mistake this time, frowned, and looked at Mr. Fu Yuan in the audience from time to time, seeing that he was also paying attention to himself, Bai Ci had to hold his head and meditate......

"The time is up—please put down your pen and paper, and don't answer any more......" The shopkeeper announced that the time was over, and sent the girls from before to go down and collect all their papers.

After a long time, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper, walked up to the stage with a smile, and was about to announce, and the people below also came together, even those who didn't guess it, should have a lively look.

"You've been waiting, hahaha...... I would like to announce that the contestant who answered the question correctly this time was—"

Bai Ci clenched his fists underneath, and Xiao Lingran, a group of people who did not participate, also became nervous......

"Who is he?" The shopkeeper repeated mischievously.

"Phew-" The people below made a sound, and the corners of Xiao Lingran's mouth twitched, thinking that this shopkeeper was quite good at appetizing......

The shopkeeper stood on the stage and coughed a few times and said, "Don't do this, everyone...... Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease everyone. The winner of this contest is Evergreen! ”

"What? I heard you right! Xiao Lingran's eyes widened and he looked at the people beside him, only Dan Qingzi...... Banxia accompanied Yao Lao to rest in the pavilion on the side, and Tu Ye accompanied Bai to resign from the game, but he didn't see Changqing......

"When did Chang Qing go up to the game?" Xiao Lingran looked at Dan Qingzi suspiciously, and asked.

Dan Qingzi didn't answer, just picked his chin and pointed to the front of the stage. Xiao Lingran looked in the direction he indicated, and Chang Qing was already standing on it, his face calm.

"Then let's ask our first place to tell you what the mystery of this last question is!" The shopkeeper looked at Chang Qing with a smile.

Chang Qing replied, "The slightest bitterness actually refers to fine pungency...... The fine pungent has the effect of dispelling wind, dissipating cold, walking water, and opening the body. It also has the effect of treating wind, cold headache, nasal abyss, toothache, phlegm and cough, rheumatism and paralysis. ”

The shopkeeper applauded him on the side, and praised him: "It seems that our little brother is really knowledgeable, and he has such a deep understanding of Chinese herbal medicine...... So below, let's invite our great beauty of the Magpie Pavilion - Shisu to present an award to this little brother! When the people below heard this, they all boiled, and they could imagine how famous this perilla girl was.

I saw a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a very gorgeous purple dress, slowly walked over, holding a red gift box in her hand, looked at Chang Qing and smiled slightly: "Zi Su congratulations to this son, now this prize is yours...... " After Zi Su finished speaking, he handed over the gift box, and then smiled slightly, Chang Qing was a little stunned, but he was not shocked by her beauty, but ...... This girl with shiso seems to have been tricked...... The girl walked off the stage with a smile on her face, and it was only when others could only see her that her smile disappeared instantly, leaving only a haggard face......

"Congratulations to this little brother!" The shopkeeper applauded and congratulated, and the audience also applauded.

Chang Qing took the prize and stepped down from the stage and found Xiao Ling to dye them round.

"Yes, it's yours!" Tu Ye patted Chang Qing's shoulder and praised with a smile.

"No, my evergreen brother's book is not read for nothing!" Xiao Lingran raised his head proudly.

Chang Qing smiled embarrassedly and handed the gift box to Xiao Lingran, Xiao Lingran wanted to refuse: "This is what you got with your own strength, how can you give it to me......"

"I just want to give it to you, so I came on stage to compete with them, if you don't accept it, it will be in vain to waste my efforts......" Chang Qing explained, and handed the gift box again, Xiao Lingran accepted it, opened it and saw that the Luo Shen hairpin was so good-looking.

The hairpin character made of pure gold, inlaid with roselle carved with red jewelry, is very delicate, and some tassels are added, and the tassels that hang down when the wind blows are swaying, making people just want to look at it intently.

"Why don't you put it on yet?" Chang Qing said, Xiao Lingran smiled shyly, and inserted the hairpin into the bun, and suddenly the temperament of the whole person was different, not at all like the tomboy on the mountain, but more like the eldest lady of the rich and noble......

"Congratulations...... Bai Ci came over to congratulate him, and Scholar Fu Yuan also came with him, and Chang Qing saw that he was a little nervous.

"I didn't expect Bai Ci to have such a friend, it's really young and promising!" Fu Yuan looked at Chang Qing and praised.

Chang Qing felt a little flattered, and hurriedly saluted: "You have won the prize......

Fu Yuan waved his hand: "Don't be so restrained, I think I have nothing to do recently, and I am also studying the knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine, and it just so happens that I have a friend like you, so I can find you......"
