Chapter Ninety-Six: The Humiliation of the Lantern Festival

Song Yuanbao quickly locked a ring, pointed to a white jade lantern and said, "Mother, I want this lantern, can you win it for me?" ”

"Stinky boy, if it's so difficult to choose, aren't you afraid that your mother will be embarrassed?" Gently patting Song Yuanbao on the back of the head, Song Yao looked at Song Zhiyuan and said, "Since you are here, you can also participate, you can pass a few levels, and you can get some remuneration." ”

"I'll forget it, this kind of show up is not for me." The corners of Song Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, and he reached out to support the half of the mask on his face, as if he was afraid that someone would recognize him.

"Knowing that you can't see the light, Mrs. Ben is not reluctant." glanced at Song Zhiyuan and saved him some face outside, Song Yao didn't say anything too ugly, but said to Red Sleeves: "You also play together, accompany me as a companion, there is not a woman on the stage." ”

"It's rare that Mrs. is interested, and the red sleeves should accompany her." The red sleeves smiled lightly, but they were fearless.

"Mr. Song, why don't you go and sign up for Mrs. and Sister Redsleeve, can't you do this thing?" Qinghai looked down on Song Zhiyuan in all kinds, who let Song Zhiyuan win a lot of money from him during this period of time.

However, Qinghai will never admit that he can't afford to lose, he has to look at the potential rival for his master, Song Zhiyuan took advantage of Helian Sheng's absence and dared to give Song Yao a gift, which is really suspicious.

Song Yao has never cared about Qinghai's little temperament, in her opinion, the people under her have a better personality, and the same servility will make her uncomfortable and life will be a lot less fun.

As for Song Zhiyuan, he chose to pretend to be stupid and mixed with her side, and it would be good to have someone teach her a lesson.

Although Song Zhiyuan muttered something, he didn't dare to say it out loud, he was afraid of Qinghai's fist, and he would give him an over-the-shoulder throw if he didn't agree with him, it was not a joke.

After Song Zhiyuan signed up for Song Yao and Red Sleeves, he returned to his own team, but he was very afraid of being scattered by the crowd, and it was not good for a weak scholar to be stolen from his money bag.

Besides, if you follow the big stream, you don't have to pick your own pocket, which is an important reason why Song Zhi is far from having to follow the big team.

"Everyone, there are two special contestants today, our Lantern Festival is full of talents, but women are rare, and now we invite Song Niangzi and the red-sleeved girl." The principal stood in the ring and shouted loudly.

"Why are there still women on stage? How much ink can be left in a woman's house? Before the contestants on the stage could speak, the people watching the excitement below began to heckle.

"That is, women should go home to take care of their children, come out to steal the limelight, shouldn't it be a disobedience?"

The more the words in the audience were spoken, the more unpleasant they became, and the red sleeves couldn't help but be a little angry, and wanted to step forward to theorize, but Song Yao patted the back of his hand to stop him.

"What the eldest brother said just now makes sense, since ancient times, women have taken it as their responsibility to teach their husbands and children. The little woman is not talented, but her son wants this lantern, so she can only come up and offer her ugliness. Song Yao owed, and said in a gentle tone: "You are all talents, and your talent will not be below the little woman, but as the saying goes, 'a woman is a mother is strong', and the little woman knows that she is invincible and has to give it a try, I just hope to set a good example for my son, so that he can understand that he must work hard and forge ahead in case of trouble, as long as he works hard, even if he loses, he will have no regrets." ”

"This lady is very right." A man dressed as a scholar arched his hand towards Song Yao and said, "But with Madame's way of life, if you want to come to Ling Lang, you will have an unlimited future, Madame, please." ”

Perhaps because there were women in the ring, it soon attracted a lot of onlookers, especially some women cheered for Song Yao's master and servant.

I don't know if it's Song Yao's luck, the riddles in the first few levels are closely related to life, and those young masters who are raised in the rich mansion can't answer, and the red sleeves also follow the test with a guess.

"Question 6, there are thousands of brothers, the bedrooms are close together, specializing in making sweet wine, selling it for a good price, and beating an animal." The steward read aloud.

Song Yao smiled knowingly and immediately wrote down the answer, and after thinking for a while, Red Sleeves also smiled and wrote down the answer - bees.

At this time, there are six men on the stage in the competition, one of them is dressed in coarse cloth clothes, at first glance is a poor student, three people are dressed ordinarily, should be born in a well-off family, and the remaining two are dressed in gorgeous clothes.

To Song Yao's surprise this time, it turned out to be two men from well-off families who were eliminated, probably only reading sage books, so they didn't know much about these wild things.

"Question 7, if there is no news, type a word." The steward said.

No one has eliminated this level, and the answer is the word 'check'.

"Question eighth, there was ambition, type." The mystery is the monk's word, and everyone still passes the level.

"Question 9, red lanterns, green lanterns, can only be eaten without lighting, adults sweat when they eat it, and children cry the most pain when they eat it, hit a food."

The answer to this question is chili, but the people who answered it, except for Song Yao's master and servant, were only poor students.

"Now there is one last question left, please sit down and have a cup of tea and rest for a while, and the old man will go to get the question." The steward made a gesture of invitation to the three of them.

The three of them sat down in turn, and Song Yao saw that cold sweat was coming out of the forehead of the student in cold clothes, obviously very nervous, and there was a thick worry in his eyes, so he asked: "Excuse me, Childe, do you want this lamp, or do you want a colorful head?" ”

"Don't hide it from Madame, although this lamp is very beautiful, it is impossible for me to collect." The poor student politely said: "The old mother in the family is seriously ill, but I can only rely on copying letters to earn a little money, and I can't extend the medical treatment for my mother." Therefore, you can only be cheeky to win some color. ”

There are many rich people in Yunzhou City, and the lottery head waiting for the meeting is even bigger, but in addition to the first name, he can't get a penny.

Hearing this, Song Yao smiled and said: "Since this is the case, it is better for us to make a gentleman's agreement, no matter who wins in the end, the color head will belong to the son, and the white jade lantern will belong to me." In this way, whoever wins or loses will take what they need. ”

The student in cold clothes was stunned, got up and thanked Song Yao, "Madame is generous, but how can Xiaosheng receive it without merit?" Although this white jade lantern is beautiful, the texture is ordinary, and it is not comparable to the thousand taels of silver of the color head. ”

"It's hard to buy a good heart, my son just took a fancy to this lamp, if the son refuses to cut his love, I also have a headache where to buy one for him." Song Yao chuckled and said, "Look at the son, he is not the kind of pedantic person, why not be the beauty of an adult?" ”

The student in winter clothes gave his hand again and said very sincerely: "Thank you Madame for your kindness, he will definitely repay him if he has the opportunity to repay it one day!" ”
