Chapter 198: Competition
Xu Huaiqing looked at Bai Jiujiu with a triumphant face, his lips and tongue moved slightly, the acid of hawthorn mixed with the sweetness of rock sugar, exploding between the taste buds,
The big palm covered the restless head, and Xu Huaiqing's deep voice came from above his head.
People guessed the answer almost at the same time, although the scholar came one step ahead, Xu Huaiqing said the answer a little earlier than him.
Just when the boss was about to hand the lantern to Xu Huaiqing, a hand stopped between them.
"No way!" The scholar shouted, "The lantern is obviously the first thing I took a fancy to, and if you want to give it to me, it's right to give it to me." ”
The boss glanced at Xu Huaiqing embarrassedly, "Childe, don't make it difficult for the old man, I have always been fair in business, just now this son's answer was the first to say, and this lantern is naturally his." ”
There was also a girl in white standing next to the scholar, he refused to lose face in front of the girl, so he stiffened his neck and said, "Boss, you are unreasonable, you come first and then come to understand it, obviously we guessed it together, you should give it to me." ”
Just when the boss was stunned, Xu Huaiqing reached out and took the lantern in his hand, not taking the scholar in his eyes at all.
was so despised by the other party, the scholar's angry neck turned red, and he glared at Xu Huaiqing viciously, trying to make the other party retreat.
The scorching gaze lingered on his face, Xu Huaiqing snorted lightly as if he didn't feel it, and stuffed the lantern into Bai Jiujiu's hand.
Originally, I wanted to sell something by guessing the riddle, but I didn't expect it to cause a dispute, and the boss suddenly lowered his face, and just when the situation was deadlocked, Bai Jiujiu suddenly said loudly, "Since everyone wants this lamp, then it's better to rely on strength." ”
"What kind of strength method?" The scholar was originally a little unconvinced, but when he heard Bai Jiujiu's words at this time, his tone couldn't help but be a little rushed, which made Xu Huaiqing frown quietly.
Bai Jiujiu hooked her lips and smiled, "You and my husband will compete again, and the boss will re-solve the problem, and the winner can take this lantern away, and he is not allowed to repay the account, how about it?" ”
The scholar thinks very highly of himself, and his grades in the academy are also good, so when he heard this, he raised his chin and said, "Compare is compare." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Huaiqing defiantly.
There was a hint of a smile in Bai Jiujiu's eyes, she was very confident in Xu Huaiqing, her husband was Huiyuan, and how could a few riddles be difficult to defeat him.
And Xu Huaiqing looked at Bai Jiujiu smiling like a cat that had stolen a fishy cat, and a burst of softness surged in his heart. Soft, doting rubbed her head, if she wants to play like this, then he will accompany her, in short, it won't make her embarrassed.
The boss soon came up with a second riddle.
This time, Xu Huaiqing almost just glanced at it and said the answer: "It's firecrackers." ”
The scholar was still thinking hard, and looked at Xu Huaiqing in disbelief when he heard the words, it was impossible, how could he say the answer so quickly, it must be wrong.
The boss's words completely made him die, "Childe is right, the answer is firecrackers, the lantern is yours, you take it." ”
The scholar's surprised eyes were about to fall out, and he felt that he had lost someone in front of his beloved, so he stopped Xu Huaiqing and Bai Jiujiu unconvinced, preventing them from leaving, and said in a weird manner, "What is a riddle, but it's just a fluke, which academy are you studying in, and which gentleman are you with?" ”
Xu Huaiqing glanced at him coldly and ignored him.
The scholar only felt that he was offended, his eyes suddenly fired, and he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Huaiqing's collar, "Talking to you, are you dumb?" ”
"What's the matter with you, you can't afford to lose, don't compare just now, where my husband is studying has a fart relationship with you." Before Xu Huaiqing could speak, Bai Jiujiu slapped the other party's hand away in displeasure.
"You, you, why are you so rude?" The scholar's eyes widened, his face flushed, he had always been obsessed with books, thinking that all the women in the world were smiling and subtle, and it was the first time he had seen Bai Jiujiu so pungent.
Bai Jiujiu rolled his eyes, put his hands around his chest, and looked the other party up and down mockingly, "To deal with people like you, you don't need to be self-contained." ”
Anyone can see her contempt from Bai Jiujiu's eyes, the scholar was angry, saw that there were many people around him, and he couldn't swallow this breath, and pointed his finger for a long time, before gritting his teeth and saying, "You husband and wife are really the same dog, today is considered to have been taught, like you, even if you are admitted to Xiucai, it is difficult to make progress in your career." ”
Scholar? Bai Jiujiu almost didn't laugh out loud, this scholar is really stupid and cute.
At this time, someone suddenly said up, "Isn't that the new Huiyuan Xu Huaiqing Xu Gongzi, who can actually see Xu Gongzi here!" ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, as soon as these words came out, there were other people in the crowd who recognized Xu Huaiqing, and they were all excited, and many women also came around, glancing at the man with a shy face.
As for the scholar, he had already been squeezed to the periphery, but at this moment, he didn't care about scolding, and the whole person froze in place because of what he had just heard.
But there are no scholars in Fenchuan County who don't know the name Xu Huaiqing, and Mr. often recites Xu Huaiqing to inspire them. Yes, although they had never met Xu Huaiqing, they had more or less heard his name.
And just now, he actually said that people can't get into the show!
The scholar's face was flushed, and the female companion around him had long since disappeared, and he didn't have the face to look for someone again, so he hid his face and left.
Here, Xu Huaiqing and Bai Jiujiu finally got out of the crowd, glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing.
"You didn't see his face, it's so funny, you actually said that you didn't do anything in your career, who gave him his face."
Xu Huaiqing bent the corners of his mouth, his eyes fell on Bai Jiujiu, and suddenly, his smile froze, "The white rabbit lantern is gone." ”
There were too many people just now, and they forgot to take it in a hurry. Bai Jiujiu patted her forehead in annoyance, it was Xu Huaiqing who guessed the riddle with great difficulty, and she actually fell behind.
"It's okay, let's go back and find out." Xu Huaiqing rubbed her hair, not wanting to see her lost eyes.
Bai Jiujiu bit her lip hesitantly, "Will it still be there, I forgot where to let go." ”
The two were talking, when suddenly a voice came from behind them, "Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi ......"
Looking back, the person chasing after him was not the owner of the stall, with the lantern they had won.
"You forgot to take your lanterns." The boss smiled innocently, a little restrained, this is the old man, he has never seen it in his life.
Xu Huaiqing stretched out his hand to take it and nodded politely, "Thank you boss for this trip." ”
