Chapter 198 Chapter 198 : Shangyuan Lantern Festival
Sure enough, when the stall owner saw her pointing out the best and most expensive lamp in his stall as soon as she came up, he couldn't help but take a second look at it.
Of course, he couldn't see much even though the person was wearing a curtain. Just by looking at her clothes, he could tell that this girl must be from a good family.
If you don’t guess correctly, it doesn’t hurt to buy it.
Then he took off the lamp with a smile, took off the paper tube strung on the lamp, and unfolded it.
All I saw was written on the paper: There is no half-tile of tiles on the top, no place for standing cones on the bottom, and a gourd hanging on the waist, knowing the energy of yin and yang.
The stall owner said: "Type one word."
Xu Yinyin laughed after reading it. This is so simple. She once read a book of riddles from the past to the present, and this was included in it.
Immediately he responded without hesitation: "Bu."
The stall owner was shocked. He guessed it right? He didn’t even think about it?
He looked at Xu Yinyin in surprise. If he hadn't hung up the riddles himself, he would have thought that the girl had read the answers to the riddles in advance.
Although he was surprised, he did not hesitate and handed the lamp over generously, "Congratulations to this girl, you got the answer right."
Zhang Daya and others were shocked. When they realized what they were doing, they all clapped their hands and said, "Siya, you guessed it right! You are so awesome!"
"Lucky luck." Xu Yinyin responded and handed the lantern to Xixin to hold first. Then she continued to point to the Pisces lantern that Xu Wuya was interested in.
"The moonlight in the lotus pond gives me the name of a Chinese medicine."
"Silver Pond."
Next one.
"Small in stature, a thousand taels of gold is priceless. He likes to put rouge on his face. He often sits in front of flowers and under the moonlight, picking up some study utensils."
"print."
Another one.
"Playing chess in secret, playing an idiom."
"There is no distinction between black and white."
Next one...
Xu Yinyin outputted the message without stopping. In less than a quarter of an hour, the girls behind her each had a lamp, and they all got the lamp they liked.
Half of the lights on the lantern riddle stall were missing, but the stall owner didn't get any money, but he was not annoyed at all. Seeing Xu Yinyin was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "Girl, since you have started, why don't you start and end and guess all the lights here?"
Come on, I can go home earlier."
Xu Yinyin: ...So why on earth did you set the rule of giving money if you fail to guess?
How about leaving some lights for you so you can make some money?
Are you trying to make her guess?
Xu Yinyin couldn't figure it out. At the stall next to her, Xu Sanlang, who hadn't guessed a single thing for a while, quickly rushed over and said, "Siya, keep guessing! Let them guess!"
He really couldn't guess right, but these brothers were trying to hold him back.
There was no other way, Xu Yinyin had no choice but to continue guessing.
The remaining lantern riddles were very simple. Within a quarter of an hour, the lantern riddle stall was empty and there was not a single lamp left.
The boys and girls who carried the lanterns grinned, and the stall owner who closed the stall slowly and leisurely also had a smile on his face, not looking angry at all.
He even told Xu Yinyin to take good care of the octagonal lamp, but it took him three months to make it.
Xu Yinyin felt strange in her heart. She couldn't help but stare at the lantern again and again. There was only one thought in her mind, couldn't this lantern be made of human skin?
I can't help it. I've read too many novels, and my brain is out of control and wants to think more.
The group of people walked to the back to watch Xu Dajun guess lantern riddles. He was not as fast as Xu Yinyin, but he could guess several.
Seeing Xu Yinyin coming over, she wanted to ask her to guess together, but Xu Yinyin was obsessed with whether the lantern in her hand was made of human skin and had no intention of paying attention to him.
Thinking about it, Xu Yinyin couldn't help but look back, only to see that the stall was empty and the stall owner had disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Standing next to her was an aunt who was watching the fun just now. She looked like she was from the city. Xu Yinyin couldn't help but talk to her, "Did that person come to set up a lantern riddle stall during the Lantern Festival in previous years?"
The aunt had been listening and watching her guessing lantern riddles just now. She admired the little girl for being so good. She was very happy to see her talking to her and replied: "Are you talking about the past years? There were so many people every year, I also remember
I don't know who is who, but I haven't heard of this kind of stall where people give away money if they can't guess the lantern riddles in the past years.
You don’t know that before you, many people went to his stall because they saw the beautiful lanterns there, but when they heard that they had to give money if they failed to guess, they all turned around and left. They never thought that you, a little girl, was smart and gave them all.
He guessed it right and didn’t even give me a penny, which is really amazing!”
Xu Yinyin smiled and thanked her humbly for the compliment. She had already filled up her mind with hundreds of short stories. The lanterns she was holding, as well as those of Xu Wuya and others beside her, were all from this stall.
Lantern, I just feel uncomfortable all over.
Should I just throw it away?
But she was a little reluctant to part with it. After all, this lamp was so beautiful. It would be a pity to lose it. If she was overthinking, losing it would be more than worth the loss.
So I still carried it first.
At this time, Xu Dajun also finished guessing the lantern riddles. Everyone had a lantern, and no one was left behind.
Everyone carried lanterns and continued to move forward, preparing to return to the teahouse to drink water and rest.
When I arrived at the door of the teahouse, I happened to bump into Dong Shuangqi and Fang Zhou, who came out to find Xu Dajun.
"Dajun, you are here! We have been looking for you for a long time! Come on, come on, I've booked a private room at Wenxin Teahouse, let's go there and play Werewolf!" Dong Shuangqi came over and grabbed Xu Dajun.
The ark next to him also pulled him.
This lantern festival happens every year, and just like that, they have long been tired of watching it. Werewolf killing is still fun and enjoyable!
Xu Dajun also wanted to play, so he asked Xu Sanlang and the others to go upstairs alone.
Dong Shuangqi looked at Xu Yinyin who was wearing a curtain, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Xu, let's go together, Tsinghua University and the others have also booked a box there, and asked me to call you with a message."
Zhang Daya and the others just let Xu Yinyin go and don't worry about them. They got the lanterns and were already very happy tonight. They just went upstairs to watch the sideshow.
At that moment, Xu Yinyin followed Xu Dajun with Xixin.
Wenxin Teahouse is also on Nanmen Street, not far ahead, and it didn't take long to walk there.
Several people entered the teahouse, and the private rooms they reserved happened to be next to each other.
Fang Zi'an's private room was the first one up the stairs. Dong Shuangqi and Dong Shuangqi opened the door and went in. Everyone inside looked out.
Xu Yinyin walked by and accidentally glanced inside, and happened to see Fang Congyun looking out from inside.
The two people's eyes were separated by a curtain, so they should be facing each other.
She wore a curtain and could see Fang Congyun's expression.
But Fang Congyun couldn't see her. He only saw that she was wearing a plain brocade and silver-patterned coat with rabbit fur on the edges, a moon-white embroidered dark plum horse-face skirt on the lower body, and a pair of milky-white embroidered shoes with orchids on her feet.
Slender and graceful.
I couldn't help but want to take a second look, but Xu Dajun stood across the door, blocking his view, and Xu Yinyin only paused for a moment before walking past.
"You wretched boys, where are you looking?"
Peng Ruiyuan smiled with a mean look on his face, "That's your sister? Although you can't see her appearance, but looking at her figure, you know that what Dong Shuangqi and Fang Zian said is true!"
