Chapter 59: The Golden Chamber Auspicious Cloud Hairpin

When I got the paper, it felt a little rough to the touch. I guess it was rice paper of inferior quality. She slowly unfolded the rice paper and Su Lan murmured:

"The clear sky and bright moon hang over the border, this is..."

After thinking for a moment, Su Lan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "I know, it's Lang."

The shop owner took down the note with the answer on the lantern. Su Lan stepped forward and took a look, but it was written with the character "lang" in it. She immediately glanced at Xiao Yueming who was standing next to her. She had obviously regarded him as her mortal enemy and thought to herself:

"Hmph, this girl can't be troubled by just lantern riddles. When I get the last mysterious prize, I will make you look good."

Although Su Lan was wearing a mask, Xiao Yueming still felt the provocation and couldn't help but find it a bit funny. He congratulated him immediately: "Brother Su is indeed very talented. I only glanced at this profound lantern riddle a few times."

That’s all, I successfully gave the answer. I really admire you.”

For some reason, Xiao Yueming always wanted to tease this "Brother Su" who had lost his beloved wife and was pretending to be a man. Looking at her deflated appearance, he felt very happy.

Seeing such compliments from her nemesis, Su Lan was also very pleased. She walked boldly to the second lantern and confidently picked up the note. However, after a while, her brows furrowed.

Time passed. Xiao Yueming looked at Su Lan, who was standing still and had been thinking for a long time, and asked: "Brother Su, do you have an answer?"

"Of course. After thinking about it for a while, I can confirm whether the answer is accurate or not."

Although Su Lan had a tough talk at this time, her mind was always empty. After thinking about it for a long time, she still had no clue and couldn't get the point. Holding the note in her hand, Su Lan couldn't help but feel a little anxious:

"Why is this lantern riddle so difficult to solve? I think the boss doesn't want anyone to solve it. He's really evil-minded. What should I do now? I can't show weakness to this dead man. If he knows, I will solve the second riddle."

If you get stuck, you might use some vicious words to ridicule me."

The onlookers around could not wait any longer and were urging him impatiently.

Su Lan seemed to be solving the problem seriously, but in fact, his mind was already racing, thinking about how to deal with it. After a while, Su Lan's eyes under the mask flashed, and a plan came into his mind.

After coughing twice, Su Lan spoke calmly.

He said calmly: "Brother Xiao, since the two of us participate in this guessing game, it is always inappropriate for me to answer it alone. How about this, how about you and I doing the remaining questions together?"

Holding the rabbit mask that was about to fall off his face and straightening it, Xiao Yueming then said: "Of course. Since Brother Su has solved a question before, it is natural for me to answer this question."

Xiao Yueming naturally knew about Su Lan's little thoughts, and then he went with the flow and gave her a step down.

Touching the fake beard around her mouth, Su Lan handed the note in her hand to Xiao Yueming, feeling relieved.

Taking the note, Xiao Yueming glanced at the content written on the note, and the answer was ready to come out. Then he showed the note in front of everyone and explained:

"Everyone, please look at this riddle. I don't know where the human face is. The peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. Duan Ran can't solve it just by looking at these two sentences and using the usual method of splitting characters. If you want to solve this riddle, you need to start from this."

Let’s talk about the allusions of the poet’s author.”

Looking at everyone's confused looks, Xiao Yueming continued:

"This poem was written by Cui Hu, a poet from the previous dynasty. Cui Hu came from a scholarly family and had an aloof personality. He usually walked alone. One day during the Qingming Festival, after finishing the exam, he went to the southern suburbs of the city for fun. On the way, he felt thirsty.

Wanting to find a house to ask for some water, he walked around and saw a thatched house among the peach blossoms. Cui Hu went to look for it, but he saw a beautiful girl walking towards Cui Hu. After asking, he got the girl's name.

Jiang Niang, the two of them are in their youth, and they are both talented and beautiful, so naturally they have mutual feelings for each other."

"Cui Hu left until the next year. Looking at the peach blossoms in bloom, Cui Hu couldn't help but be moved by the scene. He hurried to the southern suburbs of the city. The scenery was still the same, but there was no trace of the beauty. When he returned home, Jiang Niang's figure was always there.

Surrounded by Cui Hu's mind, he couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness. Cui Hu returned to the thatched cottage in the peach forest, only to see a white-haired old man crying and sad. After questioning, he found out that this old man was Jiang Niang's father.

It turns out that after Cui Hu left, Jiang Niang thought about her day and night, and she became lovesick."

"Answering with a poem, I met Jiangniang in the first year and fell in love with her. But in the second year, the peach blossoms were still there, but Jiangniang was nowhere to be seen, so the word "婩" is used to symbolize the death of the beautiful lady."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent, secretly lamenting the sad love between Cui Hu and Jiang Niang. Some women in the crowd were already

The pear blossoms are raining, and I feel sad secretly.

Su Lan's eyes under the tiger-faced mask were already wet. It seemed that the touching story of Cui Hu and Jiang Niang, and Xiao Yueming as the narrator, seemed much more pleasing to the eye. I wonder who among the world would not want to meet.

An epic love? Although Su Lan now disguises herself as a man and travels around the world, she is just a 16-year-old young girl. She naturally has many fantasies and expectations for love.

"Okay, okay, this rabbit-faced young master is really knowledgeable. This allusion between Cui Hu and Jiang Niang is not a secret. The scholars and scholars who came here in the past naturally know it. But like the young master,

Those who combine allusions to solve crossword puzzles only have one hand."

The shop owner couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and stood up to salute Xiao Yueming.

Xiao Yueming also returned the favor: "It's just that I read more allusions and miscellaneous stories. I am really lucky to be able to solve the word puzzle."

What Xiao Yueming said is indeed true. I have been on Black Maple Island for many years. In addition to practicing martial arts, I usually read books. It can be said that medical books and miscellaneous articles are all available to everyone. The more you read, the more you will understand.

Under the tiger-faced mask, Su Lan rolled her beautiful eyes. Although she felt a little better for Xiao Yueming, she couldn't help but secretly said:

"Really, how can this dead man steal the show wherever he goes? He does it at the White Moon Party, he does it when he guesses lantern riddles, it's really abominable."

Xiao Yueming naturally didn't know what Su Lan was thinking, so the two continued to guess riddles. Fortunately, the next word puzzles were not difficult, and the two quickly solved the seventh word puzzle. However, Xiao Yueming was unable to solve the eighth word puzzle no matter what.

I can't think of an answer either.

Looking at the word puzzle in his hand, Xiao Yueming shook his head secretly and chose to give up. He also admired the boss in his heart: "It is impossible to solve all ten puzzles. If I want to solve this puzzle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve the puzzle in literature, martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

You have to dabble in everything. It seems that in this world, even these trivial things cannot be looked down upon in the slightest."

Xiao Yueming and Su Lan solved the seventh word puzzle and naturally got a prize. The store owner took out a wooden box from the container. Xiao Yueming reached out to catch it and opened the wooden box. There was a quiet sound on the red velvet cloth.

Lying there was an exquisite hairpin, it was the golden-chamber auspicious cloud hairpin.
