Chapter 200: First Prize
In the end, Bai Mufeng was young and vigorous, couldn't hold his breath, and stepped forward and said to Mr. Mystery: "Since the mystery has come out, can Mr. show the mystery so that everyone can take a look?" β
Everyone also wanted to know the answer to the riddle, and they all coaxed: "Yes! Let's take a look at the mystery! β
Mr. Mystery said with a smile: "In order to show fairness and justice, I will make the answers of the three of them public, and explain the meaning of the mystery by the way." β
Then, Mr. Mystery stood up, held up the middle-aged man's answer to the public, and said, "This is written by the first gentleman, and it is a 'pile' character." β
Mr. Mystery picked up Bai Mufeng's answer and said, "This is written by the second gentleman, and it is a 'son' character. β
Mr. Mystery picked up Xiao Yulin's answer again and said: "This is written by Lord Rui, and it is a 'one' son." The puzzle of the jackpot lantern riddle is, 'The plum tree was cut down'. When the plum tree is cut down, what remains is not necessarily a stump, so this 'stump' is a bit far-fetched. Wood is a tree, and when the word wood is cut, it is a 'child' word. Supposedly, the second gentleman's answer was acceptable. It's just that there is a word 'δΊ' at the back of the puzzle, and the meaning of this sentence has a pun meaning, that is, the words 'wood' and 'δΊ' have been cut. Therefore, there is only one 'one' left in the word 'Li'. As we all know, the puzzle of the jackpot lantern riddle has always been tricky, not the obvious meaning. If not, wouldn't everyone be on top? Tell me, is what you said right? β
Everyone couldn't react for a while, and they were also dizzy by the riddle of the jackpot lantern riddle, every year. After discussing it with each other, they nodded their heads as Mr. Mystery said.
"That's right!" Everyone said.
Mr. Mystery said to Bai Mufeng and the middle-aged man again: "The two must be outsiders who don't understand the lantern riddle meeting of Yiyun Restaurant." But it's okay, every year during the Lantern Festival, Yiyun Restaurant has a lantern riddle meeting, and the two of you can come again next year to guess the lantern riddle. β
Bai Mufeng only bowed his hand to Mr. Mystery, and left with a blank face.
The guy hurriedly said to Bai Mufeng: "Hey! Sir, you haven't won your prize yet! β
However, Bai Mufeng squeezed through the crowd and quickly disappeared into the night.
The middle-aged man bowed his hand to Xiao Yulin and said, "I am not talented, although I have read a few books, I can't apply what I have learned." Today, I saw the demeanor of Lord Rui, and I was ashamed! It seems that everything can't just listen to the wind or rain, and some things need to be proven by yourself before you know the answer. Today's trip to the capital has benefited me a lot. Thank you, Lord Rui! β
Xiao Yulin arched his hand at the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. is too modest!" This king was just a little lucky today, and he happened to guess the answer correctly. In fact, the answer that Mr. thought of is not unreasonable. β
The middle-aged man said: "There are some things that don't need to be reasonable. There is an end, and that is the most important thing. β
Xiao Yulin only said: "Agreed!" β
The guy was afraid that the middle-aged man would also run away, so he hurriedly took the prize of the second prize on the table to the middle-aged man.
The second prize is a white jade Xiao, the jade is crystal clear, and it is cool to grasp in the hand, and it is a good jade at a glance. And this is well-made, and its value has risen a lot.
The man said to the middle-aged man: "That gentleman was in a hurry just now, and I don't know if that gentleman wants this prize." However, the small shop has the rules of the small shop, and since the person has left the venue, it means that the prize is automatically abandoned. Mr. is also the second place, and this prize will naturally belong to Mr. β
The middle-aged man did not refuse, took the white jade flute, and said with a smile: "Today, I not only gained knowledge, but also got a treasure for nothing, but I am really lucky!" β
The guy said, "Congratulations, sir!" β
Someone in the crowd shouted, "What's the prize?" Come out quickly, so that we can see and see! β
"That's right! Come out and let us see and see! β
The man hurriedly returned to the gate, uncovered the red cloth on the first prize, opened the brocade box, and took out a gold-inlaid jade step from it.
The steps are swayed in the shape of a red bird, the frame made of gold lines, the ruby is the crown, the pearl is wrapped in black jade for the eyes, and the amber is used for the beak. The Vermilion Bird sings high to the sky and its wings soar.
The small gold rings are linked one by one, hanging down an inch, this is the tail of the Suzaku, there are nine in total. The bottom "tail" is directly connected to the body, and the higher it goes, the more lines stretch out from the place where it connects to the body, and then bend downward. The Suzaku has a long body and a tail that rises in layers so that the nine tails do not overlap each other, and it looks like rows of beaded curtains diagonally upward.
Suzaku's feet stand on top of a "branch" made of black jade, which is like a hairpin that can be inserted into a bun.
The jade gemstone itself is a bit heavy, so the Suzaku is not inlaid with much, and the volume is not large. In addition, the Suzaku itself is a golden line shelf, which also disperses the weight, so that the step shake will not be too heavy.
When everyone saw it, it was just a step, and they couldn't help but lose interest.
But when the guy took the step and shook it in the light, the light reflected by the jade gem shook everyone's eyes.
The man said to the crowd, "Do you think this is just an ordinary step? Hey! Look at this look...... Can this craft, an ordinary craftsman, do it? Moreover, the jade gems on this are also carefully selected, and there are no flaws on them. Even though our shop is small, you can get good things! This step shake, not to mention the cost of thousands of gold, these dozens of taels of gold are also available. Today's top prize is this nine-tailed gold-inlaid jade vermilion bird! The so-called genius with a beautiful woman, the one who won the first prize is the talent, and the talent will give this step to the beloved woman, that is a good story! β
The guy explained while showing everyone the beauty of this step.
Everyone stretched their necks to look, but they were far away and couldn't see it very really. Only those who stand in front of them are lucky enough to have a glimpse of it, and after seeing it, they all praise it.
The guy carefully came to Xiao Yulin with a step in his hand, and said: "There are many rare treasures in Lord Rui's mansion, and the ability of the small shop is limited, so this is the best prize prepared by the small shop." Lord Rui won the first prize in the lantern riddle today, and this prize will naturally belong to Lord Rui. It's just that I don't know what Lord Rui means......"
Xiao Yulin said with a smile: "Since it is the first prize, it is also quite valuable when you think about it." This king looks at this step shake is very good-looking, just right, this king also wants to win the first prize to give to the guests, look at this prize is also very suitable, then this king will accept it! β
