Chapter 212: Guess the lantern riddle

Further ahead is the highlight of this lantern festival, guessing the lantern riddles.

Although the elegance of the riddle is not comparable to poetry, it is simpler than poetry and lyrics, as long as you use your brain, anyone can participate in it.

During the autumn equinox, bringing your sweetheart to the Lantern Festival is naturally a wonderful process, and the streets are full of one-on-one couples, of course, there are very few people like Ye Liancheng who take two women at once.

It's a pity that there is no river in Chaofeng City, otherwise there will be a lantern riddle problem folded into a small paper boat, put down from the upstream of the river, if the downstream people pick up the lantern riddle, guess the answer and then go upstream and the person who made the question, guess it is not tight, and then put it back into the river after folding.

"Childe, let's go guess the lantern riddle. Bai Shui was holding a large number of special snacks, and she said to Ye Liancheng vaguely while she was still eating in her mouth.

Guess the lantern riddle, Ye Liancheng grinned at the corner of his mouth, this is his own traverser's forte, and if he doesn't guess the lantern riddle later, what is the meaning, so Ye Liancheng readily agreed.

There are also some things involved, and what is a little strange is that even if Hongying has read Ye Liancheng's memory, she still doesn't know those poems from Ye Liancheng's previous life.

Otherwise, it is estimated that she will scold Ye Liancheng for being a negative man, after all, she was willing to stay in his heart and travel with him because of a poem by Ye Liancheng.

Ye Liancheng once thought about this problem, he even thought that this was his golden finger for a while, but after thinking about it, some Confucian scholars in this world have the ability to speak and follow the law, what does this mean?

This shows that words have power in this world. Although the masterpieces of the previous life could not bring any substantial benefits to Ye Liancheng, the literary brilliance in the poems was indelible, perhaps because the power of these words could not be carried by a ghost, so Hongying would not know the existence of those poems.

Ye Liancheng can also be compared to an invasive species, and the things he carries are natural to him, but if this kind of thing is spread to a new place, then it may bring a devastating blow.

Although this metaphor is not so elegant, it is the most reasonable explanation that Ye Liancheng can think of.

Ahem, this means that he can still continue to plagiarize those eternal articles from his previous life~ Ye Liancheng smiled beautifully, attracting the strange eyes of the people around him.

The merchants in the city had set up their shops long before dark, and today's lantern festival was a special day, and the officials would not bother with these makeshift shops.

When Ye Liancheng and the three of them arrived, it was already full of people, all of whom wanted to come here to guess the lantern riddles.

Ye Liancheng stretched his neck to look inside, and finally saw the appearance of the lantern riddle shop.

There is a shop similar to the commissary in the previous life, the merchant sits in the shop, and all kinds of gifts are placed in front of him, and as long as he guesses the riddle in the lantern hanging in the air, he can take the gifts.

Of course, you will be allowed to guess for free, and you will have to pay a silver before you can check the wooden sign with the lantern riddle written on it in the lantern.

Just as Ye Liancheng was thinking about it, the red tassels and white water holding each other's little hands disappeared, and a bad thought rose in Ye Liancheng's heart.

Sure enough, when Ye Liancheng looked around, he actually saw Bai Shui waving to him on the outside of the store, which was also the innermost part of the crowd.

"Ahem, let me go. Ye Liancheng had to smile awkwardly at the people around him, and began to use his hands to break through the crowd and start this trick of cutting in line.

Everyone has been waiting for so long, how could they be willing to let Ye Liancheng cut in line as they wished, but Ye Liancheng's strength was too great, they could only look at each other angrily, and escorted Ye Liancheng to the innermost layer with their eyes all the way.

Ye Liancheng stared at him with a little panic in his heart, and he came to the two women with a strong pretense of calmness, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come in, don't you have to queue up?"

Bai Shui pointed to a man beside him who was rubbing his hands and smirking, and said, "This strange Shu said that he could bring us in without queuing, so we followed him in." ”

I see, Ye Liancheng nodded, he had met a scalper, and he knew that he would not say that he would spend himself tonight to reimburse him, this is not a question of money or not, it is a matter of dignity.

The scalper came to Ye Liancheng and said, "Childe, they said you would pay the bill." It was a tael of silver. ”

The scalper rubbed his hands together and smiled.

Hey, a tael of silver, this money is enough to buy sugar gourds to feed the white water.

Ye Liancheng pretended to take out a tael of silver from his cuffs with a dark face, handed it to the scalper, pointed to the rioting crowd behind him and said, "You guys do this, don't you help the guests deal with these things?"

After receiving the silver, the smile on the scalper's face became even brighter, and after looking back at the people who scolded and scolded the ** team, he turned his head to Ye Liancheng and said, "Childe, you can guess the lantern riddle with peace of mind, I will help you scold them!"

This... Ye Liancheng was stunned for a moment, and the words of the scalpers who were able to make things difficult actually involved the hidden services of the scalpers.

I saw that the scalper who turned his back rolled up his sleeves, crossed his waist with both hands, and began to fight with those people in the ** team with his big voice, and the so-called tongue war group Confucianism is not an exaggeration, and after a while, those people were scolded by the scalper alone and had nothing to say, one by one lowered their heads, and no longer shouted.

Ye Liancheng was stunned on the side, good guy, he had never heard the scolding words in the mouth of the scalper, and today is considered a long experience.

Then he said to Bai Shui: "Think about the lantern riddle Ang, don't let me learn badly." ”

Bai Shui sighed, and came to the merchant with the red tassel in his hand.

There were three guests dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the merchant had a smile on his face, generally this kind of person is stupid and has a lot of money, and he can't guess one, and he continues to guess as if he is angry, until he makes a lot of money.

Ye Liancheng looked at the so-called prizes, all of which were also pleasing objects, such as walnuts, bronze mirrors, gestures, etc., most of which were objects that women liked.

"Boss, what's the price?"

The merchant smiled and said, "If you guess correctly, you don't need money, you can pick out an item from this and bring it back, if you guess wrong or can't guess within half a pillar of incense, you will have to pay three copper coins." ”

After glancing at the gifts that had been full for so long, Ye Liancheng knew that the difficulty of the lantern riddle would definitely not be very simple, and he then asked, "Is there a limit to the number of times?"

"Of course not, Childe can guess as many as he wants. The merchant laughed, it seems that he has met another wronged man tonight.

"I'm asking if there's a limit to the number of times I can win?"

Hey, the businessman was stunned, so arrogant, seeing that he didn't teach you a lesson today, "Naturally, no." ”
