Lin Fengsheng stopped talking and began to look at the dazzling array of lanterns in the store, and the others also chose simpler lantern riddles. Lin Fengsheng saw that there was a lantern on the side, with ancient pine cranes painted on it, which looked very elegant, so he stepped forward to check the lantern riddle on it.

I saw that the words "Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum" were written on it, and there was a line of small characters next to it that read: play an idiom, I wish you good luck. Lin Fengsheng thought about it for a while, and he already had the answer to the mystery in his heart, and thought: "On the night of the festival, the moon is full, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom in autumn. There is a moon and a flower, a round and a good, but the flower is a good moon. ”

The shopkeeper saw him smiling and confident, so he took a pen and paper and said, "Has this boy already guessed the riddle?" Lin Fengsheng said: "Guess is guessed, but if it is guessed, whether it is right or not must be decided by the store." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Then please ask the son to write the riddle on paper, guess whether it is right or not, in black and white, you can know it at a glance." Lin Fengsheng picked up the pen and wrote the words "flower good moon" on the paper, the shopkeeper frowned slightly, and then gave a thumbs up and said: "Childe is quick to think, admire and admire, the answer to this puzzle is indeed a good flower and a full moon." He took off the lantern and handed it to Lin Fengsheng, and said: "This son has won the first place, and if anyone else guesses the riddle, please come up and write it." ”

I only heard a woman's voice say: "What's so difficult about this, this lamp girl is going to be decided." The person who spoke was Mei Ruoxue. I saw her writing a word crookedly on the paper with a pen, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh after reading it, and shook his head again and again to say that it was not right. Mei Ruoxue couldn't help but be a little stunned, and pouted: "It's obviously supposed to be like this, how can it be wrong?"

The shopkeeper said: "This girl has a vision, this is the best lantern in the store, this puzzle is naturally more difficult, and the price is needless to say." Since the girl guessed wrong, she still had to pay according to the price according to the agreement. The market price of this lamp is one tael of silver. Mei Ruoxue said: "One or two will be one or two, and I'll guess something else." The shopkeeper accepted the money and smiled and agreed.

Lin Fengsheng walked over and handed the lantern won by guessing the riddle to Mei Ruoxue and said, "Do you like that red lantern very much?" Mei Ruoxue nodded and said stupidly: "It's a pity that the lantern riddle on it is too difficult." Lin Fengsheng patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, let me guess." ”

I saw that the lamp was pasted by water-red silk, and there were long tassels hanging at the bottom, and the phoenix pattern was embroidered with gold thread on it, which was both festive and magnificent. Lin Fengsheng pondered for a moment, stretched out his index finger and wrote a few strokes in the air, but he felt that it was wrong, his fingers couldn't help but freeze, his sword eyebrows locked slightly, and he fell into contemplation again.

The shopkeeper touched the goatee on his chin and looked at it with a smile, saying that he would not have guessed it, and was a little triumphant. Mei Ruoxue said: "Cousin, if you really can't guess, then forget it." Let's go to another house and buy one. Lin Fengsheng waved his hand, signaling her not to disturb, Mei Ruoxue also hoped that he would guess the riddle correctly and win the red lantern for herself, so she stood aside obediently.

After another moment, Lin Fengsheng raised his eyebrows, and wrote the word "scale" on the paper. The shopkeeper couldn't help but change his face, and said, "Ah, it's bad, it's not good, I met Wenqu Xing today." It's a complete loss. Listening to the tone of his words, Lin Fengsheng's riddle was accurate.

Mei Ruoxue happily ran over and took off the red lantern, dangled it in her hand, and said, "Shop, then I'm welcome." The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I've given it to you." You just take it. He saw that Lin Fengsheng had solved two puzzles in a blink of an eye, and his quickness was really the only one in his life, if he was allowed to guess again, he was afraid that the lanterns in the store would become the color of his guessing puzzles, so he hoped that Mei Ruoxue would take him away soon after fulfilling his wish.

Mei Ruoxue didn't leave immediately, but said: "Cousin, can you guess a few more? You see that others can't guess correctly, and you didn't win the lantern." Let's win a few more and give them them. Lin Fengsheng was already warm-hearted, and when he heard his cousin say this, he couldn't help but feel very sympathetic to the rest of the visitors, so he said: "Okay, guessing the riddle is fun, then let's guess again." ”

Although the shopkeeper was extremely reluctant, he could only frown, shake his head and sigh when he said the words that had gone away, and he could only shake his head and sigh with a sad face.

At this time, a four- or five-year-old girl next to her shook Lin Fengsheng's sleeve and said angrily: "I want the lamp with a rabbit painted on it, big brother, can you help me guess?"

Lin Fengsheng saw that the girl was very cute, so he said, "Okay, brother will help you guess." If you guess wrong, my brother will buy it for you. The girl clapped her little hands and applauded.

I saw the puzzle on the lamp and said: "Borrow the rice in the east of the lamp, cook the short-tailed sheep, invite you to the courtesy, and the three continue the article", the following notes that the riddle is an idiom, Lin Fengsheng pondered a little and understood its meaning, and was about to write it out, the shopkeeper coughed and said: "This problem can be regarded as the most difficult of many puzzles, Gongzi is so talented, it is not difficult to solve the riddle, but others are inevitably a little confused, and I hope that Gongzi will explain in detail to solve everyone's doubts." There was a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

Lin Fengsheng didn't shirk either, and said: "That's okay, that night will be ugly." The finger puzzle said: "This puzzle has four sentences, and each sentence corresponds to a word, so the puzzle is a four-character idiom." At first glance, the phrase 'borrowing rice to the east of it' may seem a bit elusive, but the point is only the word 'borrowing rice', and if this alone still seems to be incomprehensible, then you might as well think about it the other way around. If you borrow something from someone else, then you owe something to someone else, and if you have rice from the husk of grain, you can get rice by borrowing grain. In this way, 'borrowing rice' becomes 'owe grain', and putting together is the word 'desire'. When everyone heard him tell the story, they suddenly felt empowered, and they clapped their hands together.

Lin Fengsheng pointed to the next sentence and said: "It is not difficult to know that the gist of cracking this sentence lies in the word 'cooking' and the word 'sheep'. In the sentence, it is said that this sheep is a short-tailed sheep, do you know what is the word for the sheep without a tail?" Everyone shook their heads and didn't know it, Mei Ruoxue wondered: "Is there such a word? I don't know the word." ”

Lin Fengsheng smiled slightly and said: "There is no such word originally, but no matter whether there is such a word or not, in short, the word sheep is the most unobtrusive." Now we have to consider how to cook this short-tailed sheep, if it is with fire, it seems that it will not work, and with water, although it can be written, it is not suitable. Adding some water to the short-tailed sheep is a 'lamb' word, and it is difficult to form an idiom with the word 'desire' anyway, since there is no suitable cooking method, then the short-tailed sheep has to be put up with utensils first, as for whether to fry or boil, use fire or water when cooking, the owner can think about it in the long run. The short-tailed sheep is a 'cover' word, both broken the first two sentences, the third and fourth sentences do not need to guess, there is only one idiom that begins with desire and cover, that is, 'want to cover Mi Zhang'. Everyone saw that he was smart, funny and witty, and couldn't help but admire and get close to him.

The shopkeeper's face was very ugly at first, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, impressed by Lin Fengsheng's talent, and said loudly at the moment: "Everyone, today's lantern riddle is something that can't help this master. The ** crowd was overjoyed, and they chose their favorite lanterns, and they scattered cleanly in a moment, and some didn't even say a word of thanks.

Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue were also unexpectedly surprised by the shopkeeper's move, and hurriedly apologized together, saying that it was really wrong to spoil the store's business on a whim.

The shopkeeper said calmly: "Don't hide it from the two of you, selling lanterns in the next guess is actually opportunistic, but there are very few people in the city who are as smart and knowledgeable as Gongzi, and they can make a profit from it." I didn't know that when the market opened, I bumped into Wenqu Xing, which can be regarded as a small punishment for me. In his next life, he admires knowledgeable people the most, and a few lanterns are nothing. ”

Lin Fengsheng saw that he talked well, and he was blunt about his behavior, and couldn't help but feel close, and said: "It's really unacceptable to break the store's business today, so I ask you to make a price out, and I will compensate you in full." ”

The shopkeeper didn't even say no, and said, "I'm really happy to meet someone as handsome as Childe today." If Childe is willing to admire his face, how about a few drinks at the house?"

Lin Fengsheng wanted to agree, but Mei Ruoxue said: "Thank you for the store's kindness, my brother and sister still have something to do, and they will come to bother me another day." Lian Envoy's eyes signaled that Lin Fengsheng could not agree. Lin Fengsheng had to say a few words on the scene and turned down the invitation of the owner of the lantern shop.

The two of them walked out of the Mysterious Lantern Shop and walked towards the city gate, Lin Fengsheng said: "People are kind to invite each other, why don't we go? Isn't this too disrespectful to treat others as friends." ”

Mei Ruoxue said: "It's a shame that you are still a scholar, haven't you heard of the saying 'Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief'? Besides, we don't know that person, so what is there to go." ”

Lin Fengsheng was helpless, shook his head and said: "You are suspicious and suspicious, people just want to ask me to drink and talk, what can you do." is the so-called cooking wine about heroes, quite a predecessor's will, why not beautiful?"

Mei Ruoxue couldn't tell him, so she had to say: "Don't you just want to drink, I'll drink with you when you go home." I've already asked Satsuki to sell the best new wine. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "It's good, I'm afraid I have nothing to talk about with you." Mei Ruoxue said: "Why not, on martial arts." Of course, heroes and heroes are talking about martial arts, but can't they talk about sour poetry and songs?"

Lin Fengsheng knew that she didn't read much, and she only liked to learn martial arts and practice swords since she was a child, and she didn't care about her at the moment. Mei Ruoxue said again: "How did you guess correctly that 'in the middle of the year, there is no shortage of fish and rice'?"

Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "Isn't that simple, since there is no shortage of fish and rice, there must be fish and rice, and the end of the year is naturally Chinese New Year's Eve, and then take the middle part of the word 'year' and put it together is not exactly a 'scale' character?" Mei Ruoxue clapped her hands when she heard it, and said happily: "You guessed that it was really meticulous, not bad at all." I thought it was the word 'Su'. Cousin, you can teach me more about this riddle skill. ”
