Chapter 15 Playing Lantern Riddles

Yun'er was holding a writing brush, lying on the bed with her little butt stuck out, looking at this simple puzzle, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Giggle."

Yun'er's body trembled with laughter.

Although this riddle is simple, it is very humorous and makes people laugh. Yun'er quickly wrote this word, and the handwriting turned out to be very beautiful and regular.

Then, Yun'er raised her little head and asked curiously: "Master, what's the answer to the riddle?"

Shen Lie smiled and said: "The riddle is one word, and the answers are one after another."

Yun'er suddenly realized it and couldn't help but smile: "It makes sense!"

Then, Shen Lie came up with a few more word puzzles, which he usually saw on the Internet. They were all very fun word puzzles, and they were usually used to amuse Menzi.

Seeing Yun'er's face beaming with smiles, Shen Lie smiled slightly and muttered another word puzzle: "Extending in all directions."

Yun'er thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she excitedly urged: "Where's the answer to the riddle? Here's the answer to the riddle."

Shen Lie said fondly: "It extends in all directions, so the answer to the mystery is of course... it's clear and logical."

"The bottom of the pond is clear, and the answer is one word... sweat."

A series of humorous and interesting word puzzles came out of Shen Lie's mouth, making Yun'er laugh quickly, and Shen Lie also laughed naively.

It’s Chinese New Year.

It’s a lively picture.

When the tradition of playing lantern riddles originated, it was invented by good-hearted people just to show off, and was specifically used to make things difficult for others.

Later, playing lantern riddles gradually became popular and became a custom.

Now in the Wanli period, the custom of playing lantern riddles has already become a means for some businesses and vendors to attract customers.

As Yun'er wrote the riddles one by one on the red paper and hung them on the red lantern, she started to smile happily.

Arranging the lantern riddles with her soft little hands, Yun'er said in a tired voice: "Master, this lantern riddle...hehe, I'm sure it will stump a lot of people."

Shen Lie couldn't help but smile slightly.

Yun'er looked at him with a smile. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Then she said in a tired voice: "Master, why don't you make another couplet?"

Couplets are also a type of crossword puzzle, and are one level more difficult than crossword puzzles.

Shen Lie's face darkened, and he felt a little embarrassed. With his academic background from a martial arts school, he could get by with a few word puzzles, but he couldn't get past the couplets.

There are too many couplets, requiring to work together, coordinate with flat, each word, each word has strict rules.

Compared with the people of this era, Shen Lie couldn't help but touch his head, so he relying on this culture in his stomach. Isn't this a big knife in front of Guan Gong?

But she couldn't hold Yun Er Jiao, and Shen Lie had to hold his head hard: "Okay, think about it."

Think for a moment.

Yes.

So Shen Lie groaned and came up with a couplet that was happy to hear later: "This couplet is, all five lakes and four seas are spring."

In an instant, the room became quiet.

Yun Er was stunned, and quickly skimmed his mouth, disappointed: "Master, your pair is really ... too ordinary."

Looking at the loss of Yun'er's small face, Shen Lie couldn't help but even more embarrassing. Yun'er still worried about his face and said more euphemistic.

This pair is more than ordinary, it is simply unbearable. This is the color that is placed on the street. There are no people who want a piece of money.

In front of the little girl, Shen Lie felt that her face couldn't hang on her face. She hurriedly dug her thoughts and thought about it. Finally, she was in a hurry.

Shen Lie thought of a famous couplet through the ages.

"Yes!"

Looking at Yun'er's disappointed little face, Shen Lie muttered: "My first couplet is... a cold eyebrow pointing at a thousand people."

Shen Lie didn't know many couplets, but any couplets that even he, an 18th-tier actor with a technical secondary school education, knew, would definitely be famous throughout the ages.

After all, Yun'er was born in the county grandpa's family, and had learned a lot of culture from a young age. When she heard this couplet, she was stunned.

The little maid couldn't help but widen her bright eyes and looked at Shen Lie in surprise. She was immediately shocked by the aura of this couplet.

Just looking at this first couplet, you can see how strong and domineering it is!

Yun'er tasted the first couplet and was stunned. She opened her bright eyes wide and pondered in admiration. She was quickly impressed by the proud character of the first couplet.

What a spirit!

After a long time, the little maid excitedly urged: "Master, Master, where is the second couplet?"

Shen Lie saw the shock on her face, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, so he pretended to be profound and muttered: "Am I going to lower my head to be a tyrant?"

In an instant, Yun'er was stunned again. If the first couplet was proud and proud, then the second couplet was sincere and upright.

Although the confrontation is not very neat, the magnanimity and heroism contained in the lines make the confrontation seem unimportant.

In an instant, the image of a wise man who cared about the country and the people, was upright and had a breeze on his sleeves, appeared on the paper, which was really memorable.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

In silence, Yun'er savored the couplet carefully, and couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise. She stared blankly at the young master, with a hazy mist in her bright eyes, as if she was really shocked.

After another long time, Yun'er said softly: "Young master is mighty."

Looking at these eternal names, Yuner felt that the image of the young master in her mind was getting taller and taller. In the shiny big eyes, there were little stars.

Shen Lie's heart was proud and couldn't help smiling slightly: "Hey."

People are stupid!

This is the eternal name of the entire era.

Never seen it!

Thank you Mr. Lu Xun.

With Yun'er's shock, he fell into contemplation, and the small room was in a long silence.

In a blink of an eye, it arrived at the Lantern Festival. On this day, Shen Lie took Yun'er out of the stall early, and placed something in the old position in the alley.

Then the lanterns with lantern riddles were hung up one by one.

Join in the fun.

As the sky gets darker, the lanterns begin to light up.

There was a red lantern in front of a shop door. In the moment, the streets and alleys of the whole Beijing were like a change of drama, and suddenly people were crowded.

People of all kinds, running land boats and walking on stilts, passed by from time to time.

So lively, so prosperous and beautiful.

The small stall at the entrance of the alley was also very lively at the moment. Yun'er was soliciting customers with a smile on her face. While looking at the team of land boat runners, her little face turned into a flower with a smile.

Shen Lie also had his eyes opened. He bent over and looked at the actors in various costumes while picking up the wicker hoops one by one, but his mind was far away.

This prosperity is bright, if it starts from the eight years of Wanli.

Some years later...

Shen Lie sighed quietly.

"Why."

In less than thirty to fifty years, the world will be in chaos. Perhaps as a time traveler, Shen Lie feels that he can do something for the Ming Dynasty and all living beings in this world.

But he can't do anything now.

Just take it one step at a time.

Burying this big secret deep in his stomach, Shen Lie began to solicit customers: "Take a look, take a look, don't miss it if you pass by, it's a fun and interesting trap trick!"

So amidst the loud sound of gongs and drums, because Shen Lie's lantern riddles were so unique, their stall also attracted many people who played lantern riddles.

As several scholars in green shirts passed by the stalls, they stopped involuntarily and began to guess hard.

"One...oh, hehe."

This is impossible to guess.

So the scholars couldn't help but touch their noses and let out a few silly laughs to hide their embarrassment.
