Chapter 017: Lantern Riddles
17 lantern riddles
The light shone ambiguously on Qiao Shengping's face, and there was a lot of affection in his eyes, which was only the appearance of spring flowers, and the face of the smoked young grandmother was dyed with a touch of flying glow.
The young grandmother looked around, I guessed, the young grandmother was probably looking for the shadow of Meng Luo and Miss Xin, and seeing that the crowd was no different from Fang Cai, the young grandmother replied: "Let others guess first, Meng Luo hasn't come yet." โ
Of course Qiao Shengping knew what the young grandmother meant, this idea was still proposed by him, just wait, he beckoned to Liuzi, and quietly sent Liuzi to pick up Mengluo, I gloated in my purse, should! What do you want to do to save Zhao? How comfortable are the old men going straight and happy?
There are people in the lantern riddle array who have opened new riddles one after another, most of them are right, and there are six or seven that have been hung up and no one has cracked them, seeing that there are fewer and fewer lantern riddles, Qiao Shengping's heart is getting more and more anxious, he is anxious that Mengluo's girl is unreliable, and on the other hand, the remaining lantern riddles are getting more and more difficult, if he really can't guess any of them, how can he send a lamp to the young grandmother? To put it bluntly, he is still more selfish.
"Yimei, the sixth son is going to pick up Mengluo and Miss Xin, we can't wait like this, the eldest brother should be suspicious later!"
The young grandmother seemed to think that his words were reasonable, and carefully picked one in the lamp array, "No one has guessed the second one from the left in the third row, why don't you try your luck?" โ
I almost laughed out loud in my purse, young grandma, this is faithful Qiao Shengping has never guessed correctly in previous years, everyone can see the lantern riddle that has been turned on, if it is simple, someone has guessed it away, guess the new one may be able to meet a simple one by luck, Qiao Shengping, Qiao Shengping, your image is a little shorter!
The lantern riddle was opened, and Master Gao smiled first, "This riddle is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, it is about the harvest scene, the joy of the harvest, 'the five grains are full of honey', guess the food!" โ
I was confused for a while, what kind of food is this? I searched all the food I had seen for 8,000 years and had no clue, I looked up at Qiao Shengping, and Qiao Shengping also frowned.
Master Gao didn't urge, in fact, I listened to this for a long time, and I also heard some doorways, as long as the guessing of the riddle I don't say I can't guess, this question will never be guessed by others, even if someone knows it will not say much, at this time there are already seven unsolved questions in the riddle array, and there are five unopened lantern riddles, and there are very few people who dare to come forward to touch the five probability questions, at this time everyone's eyes are naturally all on Qiao Shengping, Qiao Shengping, who was originally at the end, has become the center, naturally, the happiest is me, Finally, I don't have to look at the backs of a lot of people to listen to the heavenly books.
I was staring at the lantern that the young grandmother picked out, Qiao Shengping slapped me violently, which shocked me, and then I saw Qiao Shengping smiling undignified, "Hahaha...... Hahaha...... Wonderful! That's wonderful! After saying two wonderful things in a row, Qiao Shengping waved his hand and faced Master Gao, "It's Lantern Festival!" The Lantern Festival is made of various grains and mixed with honey or sugar, so it is a Lantern Festival! โ
"Congratulations to this young master, this Shuangyan Liufang Palace Lantern is yours!"
Qiao Shengping took the palace lamp and turned around to hand it to the young grandmother, when he heard a cheer full of stars, "It's so beautiful!" Brother, did you win for me? โ
Meng Luo raised the lamp in front of his eyes, tilted his head to look at the double swallows on the six corners of the palace lamp, two on each corner, a total of twelve, because it is a pair of double swallows, so this lamp is called 'double swallows' instead of 'twelve swallows'.
Qiao Shengping withdrew the lamp from Mengluo's hand and threatened in a low voice, "Did you patronize and play along the way!" Go back and pack you! โ
Meng Luo drilled behind the young grandmother and stuck out her tongue at Qiao Shengping, and I read a sentence from Meng Luo's playful expression: "I have a sister-in-law to protect me!" "I looked at Qiao Shengping again, his dry eyes and temperless look were too funny, hahaha......
Mengluo was playful, but fortunately, he didn't delay the business, and finally brought Miss Xin before the riddle ended.
At this time, someone in front of him guessed the lantern riddle, and guessed that he didn't guess at the beginning, "one person divination, two small guesses", and I heard the man say: "I am also inspired by Young Master Qiao, if there is no 'Lantern Festival' in front, I am afraid I still can't guess this riddle 'Shangyuan'." โ
Qiao Shengping heard someone say that he looked back at the past, and saw a person who was taking a lantern from the guy in the Wenqu study, smiled at Qiao Shengping and hurriedly ran away, this person knew Qiao Shengping, but I don't know if Qiao Shengping had an impression of the other party, I haven't seen that person, but the voice was the student who was anxious and shy at the beginning, saying that he couldn't guess the riddle, I chased him to look at the figure that ran away, he handed the lantern to a girl dressed as a girl, the girl took the lantern and ran, leaving a silly boy scratching his ears stupidly.
"Brother, you are so powerful! I want lanterns too......" Monroe ran into the lantern riddle array, the lanterns in the high places were as bright as stars, and the lanterns tied to the riddles in the lower places had been picked, and Monroe stood next to the lantern with the auspicious Year of the Rabbit painted on it, pointing to the jade rabbit on it, "...... I want this one with a bunny! โ
Qiao Shengping's face froze, and I listened to him swallow and spit, "I can't necessarily guess it, if I can't guess it, you are not allowed to make trouble!" โ
Meng Luo happily let people solve the riddle, and Master Gao took the riddle from the man's hand and read: "'Shuangqiu Lian is not a chest, and it is not ten horizontal', guess the word." โ
What a mystery this is! Can Qiao Shengping guess what this word is? I felt that Monro's rabbit lamp was a little hanging, Qiao Shengping meditated, and before he knew it, he had already taken a few steps forward, and at this time the crowd began to talk about it.
"The more difficult the riddle becomes, the more difficult it is, I can't figure out how this riddle is, which one can it be if it's not these two words?"
"Yes! I can't figure it out either......"
"Those are those two words, right?"
"Didn't you hear what you just said about guessing a word? Isn't the two words a mystery? โ
About two quarters of an hour later, Qiao Shengping still hadn't solved it, I saw Mengluo moving towards Qiao Shengping's side, and pulled Qiao Shengping's sleeve, "Brother, don't guess?" I don't want the lights. โ
Qiao Shengping also came to the moment and gave Meng Luo a finger, "You don't want it, don't want it?" Your brother still wants face! After saying that, he looked at the young grandmother, and Monro also glanced at it, and then quietly moved to the young grandmother's side.
They're all making it difficult for a lantern riddle, oh no, there's a person who actually wants to save face, and I guess I'm the easiest in the audience, anyway, I can't speak in public, I'm not as comfortable as watching the night view.
I see that Liuzi and Gao Zhicong also seem to want to be fascinated, the two of them stood behind Qiao Shengping, muttering a few words from time to time, and shaking their heads after a while, I swept around to them, where is Brother Bo'an? These two bastards! How many words can you know two long-term workers? What's going on? Brother Bo'an's legs and feet are not good, there are many people, but you should leave someone to guard!
I was in a hurry to tell Qiao Shengping about the situation of Liuzi and Gao Zhicong, when I heard the sound of a wheelchair turning behind me, and the sound stopped on Qiao Shengping's left side, I squinted and looked, it's okay! OK! Fortunately, Miss Xin doesn't like to join in the fun like them, and she knows to stay by Brother Bo'an's side.
"It's a '้พท' character, a 'yellow' prefix, two vertical and two horizontal '้พท', Wen Qian can ask Gao Fuzi if it is a '้พท' word." Brother Bo'an is really timely rain, I can't guess that Qiao Shengping's hair is going to be bald!
Qiao Shengping suddenly realized, he even forgot to salute, and shouted at Gao Fuzi: "But is it a '้พท' word? โ
Master Gao's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked Qiao Shengping, "What's the solution?" โ
"Uh......?"
Qiao Shengping turned his head to look at Brother Bo'an, what is the explanation? This mystery was solved by Brother Bo'an, how does he know how to solve it?
When Master Gao asked the word "what is the solution", everyone knew that the riddle must be good, and Qiao Shengping's sight was not concealed at all, so at this time, everyone's eyes also fell on Brother Bo'an, and naturally there was also Master Gao from the lantern riddle array.
"The mystery was solved by this talented man next to Young Master Qiao?"
Brother Bo'an never leaves the house, so no one recognizes his identity, when I see the wheelchair under Brother Bo'an's body, everyone's eyes began to be unclear, I swept to the crowd of people who were talking to each other, and looked at the young grandmother walking on the other side of Brother Bo'an, I know that the things that Qiao Shengping and the young grandmother are worried about have come!
The young grandmother put her hand on the back of Brother Bo'an's hand grasping the wheelchair, "Big brother, it is my happiest thing that you promised to come out of the mansion...... I can hide behind my eldest brother and escape my father's board like I did when I was a kid......"
Brother Bo'an's other hand gently covered the young grandmother's, and at the moment when Brother Bo'an raised his head towards Master Gao, I suddenly found that even if life falls to the bottom, as long as you dare to look up at the sky, you can actually get the sun!
Brother Bo'an's voice is like Gu Taoxun who has soaked in old wine, "'Qiu' can be a mountain, but it is actually a mountain of earth, so 'Shuangqiu' is actually 'Shuangtu', and the stretch of Shuangtu is naturally 'Gong'; โ
"Good! Well solved! Gao Fuzi asked people to take off the lantern for Mengluo, and then said: "This question was left by a friend of mine last year, I guessed for a year and didn't guess it, so it is, '้พท' is both a word and not a word, but such a solution is reasonable, I said beforehand, anyone who solves the ten questions can go to the Wenqu study to take a classic, I don't know if you are interested in solving a few questions?" โ
"This question is also a mistake, just a few days ago I turned over the "Han Dian", the word '้พท' has sound and shape but no real meaning, I really can't use it on weekdays, and then I am afraid that I will not have such good luck to solve a new question."
We can all see that Brother Bo'an is reluctant to be in the limelight, otherwise he would not tell Qiao Shengping the answer to the riddle and let Qiao Shengping answer, and he had to come forward only if he missed the step of solving the problem, and on the other hand, the reason was that it was on the young grandmother, and the lantern festival was to fulfill Qiao Shengping's mind to the young grandmother, and he also tried to show up in front of people. The young grandmother's words that she wanted to hide behind her brother seemed to be nostalgic for her childhood, but she really admired it.
Brother Bo'an, who seems to be in a beautiful situation, has actually been living with a magic barrier in his heart, I think, Qiao Shengping and the young grandmother Brother Bo'an went out of the house, not just with Miss Xin!
To say that among so many people, the most heartless is probably Mengluo, as soon as she heard that Master Gao invited Brother Bo'an to solve the riddle, there was probably only a clever lantern left in her mind.
Meng Luo's bright eyes looked at Master Gao, "Isn't that going to win a lot of beautiful lanterns?" โ
Gao Fuzi half-teased and half-lost Ammonluo, "Huh...... Then you have to solve the mystery right with your brother! โ
Hearing Gao Fuzi's shameless tone, I realized that Gao Fuzi was actually an old naughty boy, and yes, if you don't like to play, how can you make such a big battle of lantern riddles?
"The master just said that it is okay to guess the ten questions correctly, but he doesn't say that no one is allowed to help, right?"
"Definitely! But there are many selfish villains in this world, everyone wants to keep things for themselves, if you have the ability to let someone help you, it is okay if you answer correctly! โ
Mengluo ran under the lantern again, tiptoeing to look at the unsolved lantern riddles, "'The warm sun and wind in the spring mountain, the clouds and rain add to the waves, the sun in the lonely village is gone, and the corner is drawn', guess the medicinal herbs, Sister Yiyi, brother, is this a good guess?" โ
"If you guess the lantern, hasn't someone taken it? Your brother and I can't guess. โ
Mengluo looked at Brother Bo'an again, she didn't dare to make a mistake with Brother Bo'an, so she just looked at it with expectation, and the young grandmother had to ask for her, "Can Big Brother guess?" โ
"It is the white back root, "Lingnan Herbal Medicine" records, the white back root can treat the middle ear pus, the treatment of double single throat moth, the white back root is also known as the white film root, and the white root is also made white root. The four sentences in the question are from Tianjingsha. The first sentence of the four songs of spring, summer, autumn and winter was written by Bai Pu, one of the four masters of Yuanqu, and it should be a white back root. โ
"Is that right?" Mengluo asked Gao Fuzi, Gao Fuzi smiled and said nothing, and ordered the man to take down the lantern with the painting 'Ruixue Jichun' to Mengluo, and Mengluo happily shouted to Brother Bo'an: "That's right! That's right! โ
The next six riddles were still Monro's questions, and everyone helped her solve them.
"'The east wind blows into the spring of the western mountains, and the ten new scenery is covered with greenery; In front of the hall, Yan diligently cut the mud, and sprinkled the roof of the shed with a 'guess word. โ
With the first two questions in front, this time everyone looked at Brother Bo'an, and Brother Bo'an had to answer again: "It's 'north', the direction is north, the poem describes the spring scenery of the West Mountain, the mountain is covered with green around the West Lake, and the mountain shadow in the water is naturally emerald as new, the swallow pecks the mud to build a nest with a beak and water, the word 'swallow' is less 'mouth' and 'water', and a thatch is falling on the top, isn't this exactly the word 'north'." โ
Mengluo received another lantern, and the next question, Brother Bo'an, didn't answer it, but Miss Xin answered it.
"'The fisherman's sister is busy with fisherman, and the love weaves the dome to give the fisherman', the most precious and the most important is the word 'love', and the fishing with this big love net is to net all over the world, and it is to 'encompass the four seas'."
When it comes to the word 'love', I am afraid that only the delicate daughter's family can experience it, and Miss Xin's solution is also the solution of all the people in the world.
Next is a half-solved riddle, because no prompt has been written and no one has solved it so far, the riddle is "food to the valley first, green and yellow at ease, the heart leans on the mirror platform, hypocrisy is outside", at present, someone has solved the word "and", the word "Yi", but there is still no correct riddle.
Then it was the young grandmother who was clever, "I guess it's tea." โ
Everyone is puzzled, looking at the topic, it should also be related to food, how can it be tea!
"'Food takes the grain first' is a 'he' word, 'Qinghuang An's freedom' is a 'quiet' word, 'heart leans on the mirror platform' is a 'Yi' word, and 'hypocrisy is outside the world' is a 'true' word, these four words summarize the spirit of the tea ceremony that has not changed in my Chinese millennium, that is, the four noble truths of the tea ceremony. The soul is 'harmony', the heart of tea is 'quiet', the body and mind are 'pleasant', and life is 'true'. โ
Young grandmother's thoroughness of the tea ceremony is unmatched, this solution is the tea ceremony of 'tea is like life, life is like tea', listening to my mirror heart seems to be about to open up, I sincerely hope that I can also spend a life like tea, I rubbed Qiao Shengping in my purse, and my plan to pinch my face and become a person all depends on Qiao Shengping.
At this time, there was only one lantern riddle left that had been opened, but Mengluo was still five away from ten lantern riddles, so she discussed with Master Gao, "Can the two questions that my brother guessed at the beginning also count as mine?" โ
In fact, only one of the two questions was solved by Qiao Shengping, and the other was Brother Bo'an, Master Gao stroked his beard, "Then you have to ask your two elder brothers." โ
Qiao Shengping and Brother Bo'an naturally have no opinions, so there are still three questions left.
"I'll tear down a new one, I'll leave this question until the end to guess."
The newly dismantled is an ink lantern with a full moon in the sky, and the puzzle is "Red Sun Night Sign, Ice Wheel Dream"
In the eyes of each of us, Brother Bo'an should be so glorious,
