Just as Gu Yunqiao was celebrating that he had guessed the riddle, Xiang Man next to him pouted disapprerovingly: "Isn't it the simplest anagram, what's there to be happy about?" What's more, with your brother by the side, it can't be completely guessed by yourself. ”

It was unpleasant before, and Gu Yunqiao didn't bother to give her face anymore at this time, so she immediately raised her chin not to be outdone: "So what?" Anyway, we guessed it, but as for which of us guessed it, can you care? If you have the ability, you can guess one? ”

Seeing Gu Yunqiao's smug look, Xiang Man's face turned red with anger: "Just guess, who's afraid of whom?" Not only do I have to guess, but I also have to guess something that is harder than you! ”

As he spoke, Xiang Man casually selected a lantern in the second row, which read: Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and play an idiom.

Idiom puzzles are different from anagrams, and anagrams can still disassemble and analyze the riddles one by one and spell them into words. Adult puzzles are willing, and they can only find the idiom that best describes the picture according to the picture described by the riddle, which is more difficult than the anagram.

As soon as he saw the riddle, Xiang Man was in a difficult position, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out which idiom the poem "A Thousand Miles of Warblers Cry Green and Reflect Red", and he was unwilling to lose face on this short Gu Yunqiao, so he touched Xiang Liqun with his elbow, and lowered his voice and urged: "What is the idiom, big brother, help me think about it!" ”

Xiang Liqun thought carefully for a while, and then looked at the shopkeeper: "'Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and reflect red', green and red are colors, and warblers cry are sounds, and the mystery should be - sound and color?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is impressive, congratulations to the two of you for guessing correctly." ”

Although he guessed correctly, after all, it was guessed by Xiang Liqun, and it had nothing to do with Xiang Man himself. Seeing Gu Yunqiao's expression of "you are embarrassed to say me", Xiang Man's eyes flashed weakly, and he said stiffly: "Although my brother guessed it, our idiom riddle is more difficult than your anagram, and it is barely a draw, let's do it again!" ”

Gu Yunqiao raised her eyebrows, and was willing to play with her: "Okay, come again, come again, I have to convince you today." ”

Immediately afterwards, the two of them picked out the two lanterns in the third row, but the lanterns in this row were more difficult than the first two rows, and the two of them didn't come up with them for a long time. In the end, Cheng Yan and Xiang Liqun guessed it, and they said it almost at the same time, and there was not much difference in speed.

In this way, there was still no winner or loser, and the two looked at the fourth row of lanterns in unison.

The fourth row has the least number of lanterns, only four in total, which are the four divine beasts of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the xuanwu, and now the green dragon and the white tiger have been selected to go, and only the vermilion bird and xuanwu are left.

Xuanwu is a tortoise, and its appearance is not as cute and pleasing as other animals, and the lantern is not like it, it looks strange, and even a little ugly. Girls love beauty, so they naturally prefer Vermilion Bird lanterns.

Xiang Man's eyes were quick, and he grabbed in front of Gu Yunqiao and said, "Big brother, I want the top Vermilion Bird, you help me take it down!" ”

Gu Yunqiao was aroused at this time, and he was not willing to lag behind for a while, so he also pulled Cheng Yan's sleeve: "Brother, I also want that Vermilion Bird!" ”

Even though I saw Gu Yunqiao call Gu Yunji brother many times, I still felt very different when I heard her call herself like this.

The moment he heard the girl's crisp "brother", Cheng Yan's body stiffened, his throat rolled subconsciously, and he stiffened his body and said, "Okay." ”

Gu Yunqiao didn't notice Cheng Yan's abnormality, and at the moment all his attention was on the Vermilion Bird Lantern, and he made up his mind to compete with Xiang Man. Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, the shopkeeper hurriedly took down the lantern and gave a compromise solution: "Let's do it, the four of you guess the riddle of this lantern together, whoever guesses it first, the lantern and the banquet reward will belong to whom, how about it?" ”

The four of them were all okay with the proposal, nodded in agreement, and then went together to look at the riddles on the lanterns.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, play a clutch word......" Gu Yunqiao was a little incomprehensible, and looked at the shopkeeper on the side, "Shopkeeper, what is a clutch word?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "The clutch word is a kind of riddle, the riddle is composed of the word "child" and the word "mother", the word "son" and "mother" are spelled together, and a new word "son and mother" can be formed, and these three words must be closely related to the riddle. For example, the riddle of good land is that the soil is not bad, and the soil and not put together can form a bad word, and the three words together mean that the land is not bad, that is, good land. ”

"Oh - I see." Gu Yunqiao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "But what kind of clutch can this Zhumen wine and meat stink be?" Could it be that this shell is greedy? Although the meaning is close, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Bei and the mystery today? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't think of what the clutch word was for a while, and they fell silent.

Suddenly, Cheng Yan's heart was clear, he had a plan in his chest, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Shopkeeper, the mystery is - the meat rot of the house?" ”

"Zhumen is the vermilion lacquer gate of the princely and aristocratic mansions, which generally refers to the rich and noble; The mansion has the meaning of the official office, and can also be used as the residence of the dignitaries, which just corresponds to the Zhumen. Coupled with the meat words in the puzzle itself, the combination of top and bottom is exactly a rotten word. The smell of wine and meat in Zhumen is not the unpleasant smell emitted by the rotting wine and meat in the house? ”

"Not bad! The mystery is the meat curd! The shopkeeper immediately clasped his palms together and exclaimed, "Lord Cheng is worthy of being the champion of the new department, and he actually guessed it so quickly, so this Vermilion Bird lantern and banquet reward will return to Lord Cheng and Sister Ling." ”

Xiang Liqun thought about it, so he bowed his hand to Cheng Yan: "Cheng Daren is quick to think, and he is ashamed of himself." ”

Cheng Yan returned the salute gently: "It's just a fluke to win, and I will give a prize to the adult." ”

The victory and defeat have been divided, Xiang Liqun naturally has no reason to stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to the two, he left with Xiang Man, who was not very convinced.

The shopkeeper handed them the four lanterns that the two had won before, and handed them four vouchers: "When the two of you are free another day, you can use this as a voucher to exchange for dish rewards at my Bawei Xuan, which will be valid until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year." ”

Gu Yunqiao stuffed the slip into Cheng Yan's hand: "Today's riddles are basically guessed by Cheng Gongzi, so the reward for this dish should naturally also go to Cheng Gongzi." As for these lanterns, can they ...... Give me this bunny lamp? The rest is yours. ”

Seeing Gu Yunqiao struggling among a few lanterns for a long time, looking like he was reluctant to cut his love, Cheng Yan couldn't help but laugh and pushed everything back:

"The lanterns belong to you, the dishes belong to you, I don't want anything. The lanterns take up space, and it's useless for me to take them back, and as for this feast, I'm alone in my family, so I can't come to eat alone, right? It is still Miss Gu who holds it in order to play the greatest role. ”

Gu Yunqiao was puzzled: "How can this be done, Cheng Gongzi has contributed the most, how can he not want anything?" If this banquet is really inconvenient for you, I will call my brother and them, and when everyone is free, they will go to eat together, which can be regarded as a shared reward, how about it? ”

Cheng Yan knew that if he didn't accept anything, Gu Yunqiao might not be able to feel at ease, so he agreed with kindness: "Okay." ”

However, Gu Yunqiao couldn't bear to see Cheng Yan empty-handed after all, and after thinking about it, he gave him a pack of osmanthus cakes he bought before: "And this, Cheng Gongzi also took it, so it was a thank you gift for Cheng Gongzi to accompany me to guess the lantern riddle." ”

As if afraid of Cheng Yan's refusal, Gu Yunqiao added: "This family's osmanthus cake is very delicious, sweet and glutinous, although it is not worth anything, but it is also a piece of my heart, Cheng Gongzi accept it." ”

Cheng Yan's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Miss Gu likes sweets very much?" ”

Gu Yunqiao opened a pair of clear big eyes, nodded and said seriously: "Of course, eating sweets can make people's mood better, so I like to eat sweets the most, if Cheng Gongzi doesn't believe it, you can try it." ”

Cheng Yan smiled: "I believe that I also like sweets." ”

In fact, Cheng Yan does not have any preferences in eating, his family was poor when he was a child, and he has always had what to eat, so naturally it is not his turn to pick and choose. However, at this moment, looking at Gu Yunqiao's bright eyes, he suddenly felt that sweets were indeed good.

"Qiaoqiao! Why are you here, are you alright? ”

At this time, Gu Yunji and his wife, who were anxious, arrived, looked Gu Yunqiao up and down, and found that she was safe and sound, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Soon after Gu Yunji and Gu Yunqiao separated, they encountered a large crowd of people, and it was almost difficult to move, so they could only be anxious. Although he saw Gu Yunqiao now, he was still afraid.

Gu Yunji's hands trembled so much that he couldn't stop it, and he rarely got angry at his sister: "Do you know how long we've been looking for you?" You won't be allowed to run around anymore, do you know? ”

Seeing that Gu Yunji was really anxious, Gu Yunqiao didn't dare to refute, and obediently responded: "Knowing my brother, I will never do it again." ”

After teaching his sister a lesson, Gu Yunji noticed Cheng Yan on the side: "Cheng Yan, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Yan said with a smile: "I happened to meet it when I was visiting the Lantern Festival, thinking that there are several rows of lanterns here, and the location is more obvious, so I will wait for you here." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yunqiao couldn't help but show off the lantern he just won to Gu Yunji: "Brother, look, Cheng Gongzi guessed the lantern riddle to help me win!" ”

"Guess the lantern riddle?" Gu Yunji glanced at Cheng Yan unexpectedly, and then fell back to Gu Yunqiao, "Cheng Yan helped you win?" ”

Cheng Yan answered with a smile: "In the process of waiting for you, by the way, I guessed a few lantern riddles to pass the time, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Gu Yunji nodded and didn't say anything more.

With the previous incident, Gu Yunji didn't have much to do to continue looking at the lanterns at this time, and after chatting with Cheng Yan casually, he was ready to leave with Gu Yunqiao.

"Goodbye Cheng Gongzi!"

"Goodbye, Miss Gu."

Cheng Yan looked at Gu Yunqiao with a lively smiling face, waved his hand to him quite hard, and then turned around, his figure gradually blurred under the illumination of the brilliant lights, and finally completely disappeared into the crowd.

After a long time, Cheng Yan slowly came back to his senses, took out a piece of osmanthus cake given by Gu Yunqiao and put it in his mouth, feeling its soft taste melt and spread in his mouth little by little.

Unconsciously, Cheng Yan hooked the corners of his lips: It was really sweet.
