Today there is a Lantern Festival in the Imperial City, and there are also wealthy businessmen who bought fireworks to set off by the river in the city. Shen Ming did not enter the palace to attend the Lantern Festival banquet today because the two elders of the Shen family had to leave the Imperial City after the Lantern Festival, so He planned to show the two elders how lively the lantern festival in the Imperial City was before they left.
The Lantern Festival banquet in the palace is basically held every year, so it doesn't matter if he misses it once. But his parents left the imperial city this time, but they don't know when they will come, and they can't see the lantern festival in the imperial city every year. .
As soon as it got dark, Shen Ming took the two elders of the Shen family, Song Ziling and Hui'er out of the general's mansion. There were many people on the street today, so they didn't take the carriage and walked directly.
Qiu Ju also went out to enjoy the lantern festival, but she did not go with Shen Ming and the others, but with Qiao Mu.
There are many people on the street. Not only are the lanterns hung on both sides of the street, but there are also ropes between the buildings across the street, and the ropes are covered with beautiful lanterns.
On the street, people rub shoulders with each other. The street is full of stalls selling gadgets and food, and the sound of shouting and hawking is endless.
Mrs. Li held her grandson's hand and walked around for a while, but she was still dazzled.
"This Imperial City Lantern Festival is really lively." In their small Luoshui town, such a spectacular scene could not be seen.
Shen Yi nodded and said, "It's really lively." It's worthy of being at the feet of the Emperor.
Song Ziling said at a lantern riddle guessing stall: "Grandpa and grandma, there is a lantern riddle guessing stall in front of you. Let's go and guess the lantern riddles!"
Shen Yi nodded, and the group arrived at the lantern riddle guessing stall. There were many people surrounding the stall, and they managed to squeeze in.
There was a sign next to the stall, and Song Ziling looked at it
The words on the sign read: "Guess lantern riddles for twenty cents once. The first correct guess will earn ten cents, and the second correct guess will earn twenty cents. Bonuses can be accumulated. How long does it take to double the bonus amount?"
This was the first time Song Ziling had seen something like this. Generally, if you guess lantern riddles correctly, you will get the corresponding lantern, but this one will get money.
A young scholar with his hair tied up in a Confucian scarf is standing in front of the stall, thinking hard. He has already guessed three correctly, and now he is stuck on the fourth one. If he guesses the right one, he can get one hundred and fifty coins. Silver, but if he fails to guess correctly, not only will the seventy cents he guessed correctly be gone, but the twenty cents he paid will also be in vain.
"This scholar, can you guess it? If you can't guess it, leave quickly and let someone else guess it!" The stall owner looked at the scholar with a smile and said.
The scholar glared at the stall owner, shook his sleeves and walked away.
Shen Ming and the others watched for a while, then watched two people taking money to guess lantern riddles, and they understood what was going on.
This is a routine. Although you only need to pay twenty coins to guess the lantern riddles, and the bonus increases exponentially. However, the riddles the stall owner creates become more and more difficult as the riddles are solved. They basically cannot guess the third or fourth riddles. It’s out. If you guess correctly and give up the challenge, you can take the bonus. If you continue to challenge and fail, you won’t get a penny. Because everyone wants to get more bonuses, they will choose to continue the challenge after guessing correctly, but often they will If it fails, no one leaves with the prize money. The stall owner has captured this mentality of people, so he set up such a special lantern riddle guessing stall.
Shen Ming looked at his father and said, "Dad, let's go! There's really no fun in guessing lantern riddles like this." He didn't really like this way of guessing lantern riddles.
The stall owner happily accepted the money. When he heard what Shen Ming said, he immediately said with a straight face: "You are stupid and don't know how to guess lantern riddles, but you say that guessing lantern riddles like this is boring, but everyone thinks it is very interesting! "
His business is booming now! If this person said this, wouldn't he be ruining his business?
Is he stupid? Shen Ming's eyes widened. This was the first time in his life that someone said he was stupid.
"Pfft..." Shen Yi couldn't help but laugh, pointing at his son and saying, "There are times when you are called stupid."
"Dad..." Shen Ming's face was full of dark lines. Is this his biological father?
Li couldn't help but cover her lips and smile. Ever since Ming'er was born, everyone has praised him for his intelligence. Today, someone finally said that he was stupid.
Song Ziling suppressed a smile and said, "Uncle, he says you are stupid. I think you can teach him how to behave."
Hui'er stretched out her hand, folded her fingers, and said to Shen Ming: "Young master, give him some color to see."
Shen Ming's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, took out twenty copper coins from his purse, slapped them on the stall and said, "I want to guess lantern riddles."
