Chapter 7 Guess the lantern riddle

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, on this day, the Fang family had dinner together and prepared to put the river lantern together, and was about to go out of the courtyard gate, Steward Liu reported that Xu Zheng, the housekeeper of the Xu family, had something to ask to see.

There are three families in Gudu Town, Chen, Fang, and Xu, and the strength of the three families is the strongest in the Chen family, and the strength of the Xu family and the Fang family is almost the same, so the Xu family and the Fang family have formed a certain alliance against the Chen family in some things, after all, the truth of the cold lips and teeth is understood by both families.

Fang Yongxing said in his heart, today's Mid-Autumn Festival should be a day for family reunion, and this Steward Xu came here because of something urgent. So he said, "Hurry up, please!"

"My lord invites Master Fang to take a trip, and discuss something with Master Fang!"

"I don't know what, so urgent?"

Immediately, Steward Xu took out a small note from his arms, handed it to Fang Yongxing, and said, "My master said that you will know if you have seen it!"

Fang Yongxing opened the folded note, and the three words "Rong Lingshi" were written on the note.

In an instant, Fang Yongxing's face changed, and then he used the aura in his body to burn the note with a fire.

Immediately, he turned his head and said to Fang Qingzhuo and the others: "I have something urgent to discuss with Master Xu, you will go by yourself when you put on the lights today, Yue'er, you are responsible for protecting the safety of your mother and sister!"

And when they knew that it was an important matter, they did not complain, and went out of the gate.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gudu Town is very lively, and the moon rises slowly in the east, like a big jade plate hanging in the sky.

At night, Gudu Town is still crowded, with people selling moon cakes, candy sellers, and guessing lantern riddles.

Fang Qing played more and more, so he ran to the place where he guessed the lantern riddle and said to the person setting up the stall: "How are you playing this?"

The vendor who set up the stall said: "If you guess ten cents at a time, you will get a prize for guessing correctly! If you guess wrong, you will not be refunded!"

"What's the prize?"

"These are the prizes!" Pointing to the objects on the stall, Fang Qingyue saw that they were all elixirs for cultivation, but they were worth far more than ten cents, so he nodded, and suddenly, Fang Qingyue saw that next to the elixir, there was a small purple crystal, crystal clear, with purple light inside, so he picked it up and asked, "What is this?"

"I don't know, I picked it up when I went up the mountain to collect elixir two days ago. ”

"Wow, I don't know if you still take it out to set up a stall!"

"It's definitely worth more than ten cents, you don't play, don't play don't get in my way!" said the peddler impatiently.

Fang Qingyue was about to leave, Fang Yanfan came over and said, "What a beautiful stone, second brother, I want it!"

At this time, Fang Qingzhuo opened his mouth and said, "Okay, it's still early, let's guess the lantern riddle, how about it?" After that, looking at her mother, Mrs. Fang saw that they were in high spirits, so she nodded.

Immediately, Fang Qingyue took off a lamp, only to see that the lamp read: "Sometimes it falls on the mountainside, sometimes it hangs on the treetops, sometimes it looks like a round mirror, sometimes it looks like a sickle." Fang Qingyue thought to himself, isn't this mystery the moon, how can it be so simple. Then he said unconfidently, "Could it be the moon?" and then pointed to the full moon in the sky, and the peddler nodded awkwardly, and everyone was amused by the two men.

Fang Qingyue was also laughed at by this riddle, and felt that this riddle was too simple, so he said jokingly: "Boss, it's not me talking about you, just your riddle, you better collect the stall and go home, you can't lose money in this business!" The peddler stretched out his hand to block it, displeased Fang Qingyue and mocked himself, so he said: "I have changed my mind, I can only change this spar if I guess correctly, you can take the rest of the elixir, if you want to take this stone, you have to guess it again!"

"Eh, I said, why don't you be honest as a businessman?"

"Guess or not!" said the peddler, picking up the stone and kicking it in his arms.

"Guess, guess!" Fang Qingyue said, and picked up another lamp, which read: October 10 (guess the word). Fang Qingyue thought for a long time and didn't know what the word was, so he handed the lamp to Fang Qingzhuo, Fang Qingzhuo looked at it for a moment and then shook his head, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The peddler said: "What are you angry about, the first lantern riddle was written by me, it is really easy to guess, but the rest was written by Xiucai next door to our village, what did you just say?" The peddler saw that Fang Qing couldn't guess it, so he counted him down, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Fang Qingyue's face flushed, holding the lamp at a loss, at this time, Fang Yanfan suddenly said: "It's a dynasty character." When everyone thought about it, the word "chao" was opened, and sure enough, it was "October 10th". The peddler's smug face suddenly froze, he didn't expect this little girl to guess the riddle, Fang Qingzhuo said: "My sister is so smart, but I'm not as good as her as a big brother, and I hope that the boss can keep his promise and give amethyst to my sister." ”

"Take it, take it!" With that, he handed the amethyst to Fang Yanfan. Fang Qingyue suddenly had an idea, so he leaned over to his sister's ear and said a word, Fang Yanfan nodded happily. At this time, Fang Qingyue took out dozens of dollars and said to the boss: "Boss, we still have to play!"

So a funny picture appeared, I saw Fang Qingyue take off a lamp, and read out the riddle, and Fang Yanfan told the riddle without thinking,

"Climb the stairs (guess the idiom)"

"Step by step!"

"One point is one horizontal, one to the South Seas, there is a person in the South Seas, only one inch long (guess the word)"

"The house, the house of the Fang Mansion. ”

"A downwind boat, with a white plush and red bow, rowed two oars, and swam around on the lake. (Guess the animal)"

"Goose!"

"The general is wearing a mantle, the second general is wearing a yellow robe and a flower armor, the third general is fat and has a fat head, and the fourth general is thin and shaved. (Guess the animal)"

"Lions, tigers, bears, wolves. ”

“........”

Not long after, the riddles were all guessed by Fang Yanfan, and everyone looked at this scene in amazement, while Mrs. Fang and Fang Qingzhuo's eyes showed a little pride.

The most unlucky was the peddler, he had to give the elixir to Fang Qingyue, and then muttered: "What kind of world is this, a few years ago, I met a very unreasonable mother-in-law selling cloth in Tianyun City, and today I set up a stall to guess the lantern riddle and met this little ancestor, and I have to pack up and go home before the stall is set up, it's just that, I may really not be the material for doing business!"

Seeing this, Fang Qingzhuo took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the vendor, saying: "This boss, I'm really sorry, my little sister guessed all your lantern riddles, I know that the value of these elixirs is definitely more than a few dozen cents, this is two taels of silver, please take it, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

The peddler's face turned red suddenly, and he said, "It was indeed me who was a little more serious just now, and I hope this boy will not take it to heart." After that, he looked at Fang Qingyue, Fang Qingyue smiled, obviously not taking this matter to heart.

"I have never seen such a smart child, this is the blessing of your mansion!" After saying that, he looked at Fang Yanfan, who was playing with amethyst at this time.

"Thank you boss for your praise, then let's say goodbye!" Fang Qingzhuo said, and left with everyone.
