Chapter 7: Where is the fate
This puzzle is cleverly solved, it is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say.
The scroll was unfolded little by little, and the riddle became more and more complete, Jiang Yimu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't guess some simple riddles before, but she knew what the riddle was after listening to the shopkeeper.
"White old man, rejuvenation. Guess two things. ”
It can be said that people who are not familiar with this thing have never heard of it at all.
Xue Fu racked his brains and couldn't think of a reason.
"Half the time, but anyone's guess?"
Jiang Yiman was so anxious that he pinched Xuefu with his hand, "Give me a quick idea, if you can't answer, you won't get today's prize." ”
Xuefu was pinched so painfully that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his mind was blank, and he couldn't solve it at all.
The shop rings the gong to announce the end of the time. "I'm sorry, you can't take the prize with you today. ”
Jiang Yiman had long taken a fancy to a delicate rabbit lamp and held it in his hand as a prize in advance, how could it be possible to let her go now?
The rabbit lamp is so cute, Jiang Yiman is reluctant to give up, she is willing to ask the store to send a rabbit lamp. "I've answered so many questions correctly, can't you even give me a lamp?"
"No, you can't. ”
Jiang Yiman proposed a compromise, "I don't need you to send it to me, can I pay for it?"
"No, you can't. ”
Jiang Yiman's temperament is soft and hard, and the store does not accept it to make her feel that she is being rejected.
"I suspect you're playing tricks on people with puzzles that they can't solve, and no one can take the prizes. ”
Seeing her so nonsense, the shopkeeper told the truth, "If it is indeed you who came up with the answer alone, I can send it to you myself." But just now I saw that it was your maid who said the answer, and it was not you who came up with it. ”
Jiang Yiman was annoyed and angry when he was exposed, "You are talking nonsense, obviously you are stingy and don't want to give it to me, so you made up such a lie to slander me." ”
But in the blink of an eye, "I didn't." Jiang Yiman was very aggrieved, with tears in his eyes.
Everyone thought that the Lantern Festival was lively and lively, and they all wanted to be happy, and there was no need to make a big deal out, so everyone persuaded the shopkeeper to make a big thing a small thing and a small thing. Give the lantern to Jiang Yiman and sell it to her.
The shopkeeper was unmoved, "The rules are the rules, and it's the same when the king of heaven comes." I hate people who cheat the most in my life. ”
If you don't even give it to me, I'll destroy it.
With a snap, the lantern was thrown to the ground by Jiang Yiman, and then the cute lantern was smashed with one foot.
Su Ying knew that something was going on here, so she hurried over to mediate and gave the shopkeeper a silver ticket, "The shopkeeper can't help it, my daughter is not sensible, and this silver ticket is considered as my apology to you." ”
The shopkeeper returned the money, "I don't want your money, it's just a pity for my lanterns." ”
I don't want such a big ticket, it's really stupid, and I feel bored when I watch the excitement, so I scatter.
The distressed shopkeeper silently picked up the filthy lampstand.
"Mu'er, Man'er, come and put the sky lantern. In order to make her daughters forget the unpleasantness just now, Su Ying asked them to put out the sky lanterns by themselves.
The indispensable part of the Shangyuan Festival is to put the sky lantern, men, women and children write down their blessings by hand, symbolizing the success of the harvest and happiness every year.
happened to meet the girl of the Wu family, Jiang Yiman went to talk to her.
"Sister Yun, I didn't expect to meet you here, and you also came to put lanterns?"
"Girl, choose a lantern to pray for yourself or your family. An old woman approached Jiang Yimu, holding a sky lantern in her hand.
Jiang Yimu saw that the pattern on the lamp was very unique, so he asked for a lamp.
She held the lamp and let the fire burn for a while, so that it was filled with heat, and the body of the lamp began to expand, and in a moment the whole lamp would fly into the air.
Yuehong was still obsessed with the previous riddle, and she couldn't let go of it for a long time because she couldn't solve it, so she asked Jiang Yimu for advice.
"What's the answer to the mystery just now? Miss, do you know what? The store doesn't announce the answer, I really want to know. ”
"Pulsatilla and old and young are two flavors of medicinal herbs, and it is not surprising that you don't know. ”
I see, Yuehong gave a thumbs up. "Miss is so smart, no one has guessed the answer to this riddle. ”
"How can I be so powerful, I just happened to read a medical book and recognized a few medicinal materials. Jiang Yimu smiled shyly.
Jiang Yimu is frail and sickly, he has been raised in the deep boudoir for a long time and does not see the daylight, his skin is cold and white, and the pale yellow halo of the lantern softens the person's face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is as delicate as the first snow melting.
This scene happened to be seen by people, and his face was cold, but the smile on his lips was as gentle and beautiful as a flower bud blooming.
A few sons looked straight, this woman was very raw, I don't know which lady is beautiful, and I am hesitating to come forward to get acquainted.
Jiang Yiman saw this scene, gritted his teeth and said: "What a sassy hoof, just seduce men at this time." ”
Wu Yun said: "I didn't expect her methods to be quite clever! ”
"It's a shame for me to have such a sister, who is still in the junior class at a young age, and the spiritual power of three-year-old children is stronger than her. is such a waste material, her existence is really a shame for the family, and the trial must not pass. ”
Wu Yun said with a smile: "Your family has a big business, even if she can't pass the trial, her future life will not be bad,"
"I'm not going to let her get hold of it so easily. "These people are people who don't know her, and if they know her name, who would dare to approach her.
Jiang Yiman walked towards where Jiang Yimu was, and he almost bumped into his son-in-law who wanted to get close to Jiang Yimu.
Jiang Yiman took the initiative to talk: "This son wants to talk to my sister." ”
Li Jun took a look, isn't this the Miss Jiang family that he only met a few days ago? Seeing that she is an open-minded person and a sister of this young lady, she is worried about how to introduce herself to the beauty, and it is much more natural for her to introduce her.
Li Jun bowed his hand, "Under Li Jun, Miss Jiang Er is polite, can you introduce this young lady to me." Li Jun was very respectful.
Jiang Yiman's jaw raised slightly in the direction of Jiang Yimu, "She, she is the person I often hang on my lips! How can you not recognize her, her name is a household name, and it will scare you when she says it." ”
"Miss Jiang, don't sell it. Li Jun had never heard Jiang Yiman mention such a lovely person.
Jiang Yiman's tone was full of pity, "This is my sister Jiang Yimu, she is not in good health, so she doesn't come out to play often, and it's normal that everyone doesn't know her." ”
Everyone was amazed, it turned out that this was Jiang Yimu, the third lady of the Jiang family, who was born with no spiritual power, and a crippled body that had been hanging on to her life for many years. Some people say that she has a strange temperament, staying in the boudoir every day without seeing the sky, people are like skeletons, skinny like a white bone spirit.
"Jiang Yimu, why is she, what face does she have? I want to have such a daughter, it's really a shame for my ancestors. "The old woman is not soft-mouthed when it comes to people.
"What is such a waste doing alive, it's useless at all. ”
"Grandma, why are you talking about this sister. The little boy didn't understand what made everyone speak ill of his sister.
"You don't want to follow her, she's just because of ...... Because...... You don't need to practice, so you must get ahead, don't be such a useless person as her. "The old woman seized the opportunity to educate.
Children don't seem to understand.
Jiang Yimu smiled bitterly, he had long thought that everyone would react like this, and his existence was a monster.
She put the arranged lanterns into the river. Watching the sky lantern slowly rise, I don't know what kind of distance it will fly to, and I don't know how long it will fall down. Thinking of myself again, is it possible that I have been looked down upon like this all my life? Fate is also a flower that floats on its own.
"Sister, the banquet is about to start, I'll go first. Jiang Yimu ignored it, didn't look at those suspicious and malicious eyes, Jiang Yimu looked ahead and walked straight forward. The others naturally made way for her, and she walked smoothly on what was supposed to be a busy and crowded road.
