Chapter 65: Guess the lantern riddle
In his previous life, Chaoli liked acacia flowers, not because he meant it, it was because Gu Hanzhang would love the house and Wu.
In fact, Chaoli's favorite is the mandala flower.
Although folk rumors say that this flower is not very good, and even poisonous, she finds it very intoxicating.
Fortunately, those who know a little about Buddhism know that the mandala is known as a spiritual holy object of Buddhism, and it is said that only the lucky ones who are born have the opportunity to see it, and seeing it can bring endless happiness to people.
Because Buddhism cultivates a pure mind and views the world, there is little desire to walk in the red dust, there is nothing in the hands, and everything is empty.
So a long, long time ago, this white flower without stamens was regarded as the embodiment of God, symbolizing hollowness, heartlessness and peace of mind.
Of course, this is a Buddhist glorified mandala, and in fact it is not so exaggerated.
However, Chaoli felt that it would be better to look at the mandala from a Buddhist standpoint than from a folk perspective.
"Yes, Ah Li, let's go for a walk and see what kind of lanterns you want. After getting the lanterns, let's buy a few more river lanterns, go to the long river to put them on the side, and make three wishes. Song Ling's face was full of excitement.
I don't have to go home so early today, Song Lingxin is very happy in his heart.
What's more, you can also play with Chaoli.
"Okay, I'll accompany you today." Chaoli smiled gently.
In her previous life, she came to see the lanterns, only Tsing Yi was by her side, and Tsing Yi always felt that she had to take care of the identity of the master and servant outside, so she couldn't let go.
Today is good, with Song Lingxin's maid by her side, Tsing Yi can feel a lot more comfortable.
"Seriously, the two of us come out together for the Lantern Festival every year, and I hope that we can still be together in the future Lantern Festival. It's just that now that you're married, I also want to talk about marriage, and I don't know if I have a chance in the future. Song Ling felt a little uncomfortable.
Chao Li smiled slightly, "It's okay, whether we are married or not, we can come and see the lanterns together." Let's go, let's go to the busiest one, I guess it must have my favorite. ”
As we all know, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is both the Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival.
Generally, the high-ranking officials and family members of the capital will go to the palace banquet at noon, and they will still come to participate in the Lantern Festival at night, so there are a lot of people.
The streets are lit up with traditional illuminations, and visitors can experience the fun of the lantern festival by viewing lanterns, quizzes, and playing with lanterns.
The largest lantern vendor is in the center of the city.
However, because the venue is the largest, there are many lanterns, and it is also the most lively.
There are more than a dozen rows of lanterns hanging in this house, all kinds of them, dazzling, lonely lights are bright, Ambilight, and it is even more dazzling.
Several people came to the center of the street, and the scenes of the past life appeared in front of Chaoli's eyes, and finally coincided again.
Only this time, she wasn't alone anymore.
After arriving, Song Lingxin was immediately attracted by the lanterns in his eyes, and the whole person was very excited.
"Ah Li, look, there are peonies, peonies, begonias, and orchids, I really like it." Song Lingxin dragged Chao Li and walked forward.
The lanterns are hung on a wall made of wire on three sides, and in front of it is a small stall filled with small wooden signs on which to guess the lantern riddles.
Only if you guess the correct answer, the lantern can be taken away.
But the truth is not so simple, and there is also a requirement for guessing lantern riddles.
Sanwen Qian guesses the riddle once, and the riddle that you guess correctly can be stacked.
Guess five correctly to get a lantern on the wire wall on the left, ten correctly to get the lantern on the right wall, and fifteen to get the lantern on the middle wall.
As for the three lanterns in the middle, you need to guess 20 riddles correctly to get them.
The mandala lantern that Chao Li looked at was one of the three Kuishou lanterns.
In her previous life, Chaoli accidentally sprained her foot, so she went to the hospital, so she was delayed, and when she came back, the lantern had disappeared.
She bought a river lantern and went to the Changhe River to put it, but she saw Gu Hanzhang and Shen Lianyi together.
In Shen Lianyi's hand, it was the mandala lantern.
Later, I heard that the lantern in Shen Lianyi's hand was won by Gu Hanzhang for her, and Chao Li's heart was very uncomfortable at that time, but he still pretended that nothing had happened, and silently pressed the bitterness in his heart.
Now that she thinks about it, Chao Li chuckles, she is really an idiot.
"Ling Xin, you see which one you like, or I'll fight for it." Chao Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, Song Ling's heart was overjoyed.
"Then I'm welcome, I want the wisteria lantern, but if you want to guess the fifteen lantern riddles correctly, Ah Li will do his best. However, I believe that Ah Li will succeed, so that Tsing Yi and Purple Kite can also get lanterns. Song Lingxin said with a smile.
There's no way, she's not good at lantern riddles, and she almost hasn't guessed it, every year it's Chaoli who wins the lantern for her, and she just said that she is fighting for Chaoli, but she plans to spend money to buy it.
The lanterns couldn't be kept for long, but Song Lingxin still took good care of the lanterns sent by Chao Li.
Even if it was damaged, she was reluctant to throw it away.
"Okay, Tsing Yi went over to pay, I'll guess." Chaoli responded with a smile.
After paying the money, Chaoli took Song Lingxin and the two maids to the wooden sign stall of the lantern riddle.
The boss looks honest, and his face is full of smiles.
"Little lady, miss, tell the little one directly, the answer is behind the wooden card. You give the small answer, and the small one turns it over and looks at it, and you will know whether the guess is right or not. The owner explained.
Because Chao Li is the woman's bun, and Song Lingxin is the girl's maid's bun, so he calls the two of them like this.
"Okay, okay, we all know, it's not the first time we've come to the Lantern Festival." Song Lingxin waved his hand.
Chao Li chuckled and raised his eyes to sweep the wooden cards on the table.
One of the wooden signs reads: Lantern Festival Pray for Peace (type).
Just thinking about it slightly, Chaoli got the answer to the mystery.
Song Ling was overjoyed, "Ah Li, did you just come out?" ”
"Ningzi."
When the boss heard this, he turned over the wooden card, and sure enough, it was the word 'Ning'.
"The little lady is really amazing."
Of course, polite words are all said like this, as long as someone guesses a word, the boss has to praise it.
For his own lanterns, the boss still believes very much, and it is still difficult to guess twenty.
Even if you guess it, it doesn't matter, you won't lose money anyway.
Chao Li smiled, and his eyes were on another wooden card: the high platform reflects the moon clearly, (type).
"Epiphany."
The boss picked it up and saw that it was indeed a 'tan' word.
"Keep going." Song Lingxin rubbed his hands and looked at the wooden sign in Chao Li's eyes, "People will come after the Lantern Festival, (type), Ah Li, what is this?" ”
Suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind him.
"It's a pretty word."
