Yun'er was holding a writing brush and 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 sweetly: "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, which made Yun'er laugh so hard that Shen Lie also laughed innocently.
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 come up with 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 so many things to pay attention to in couplets, which require neat and tidy contrasts, coordinated levels, and strict rules for every word and sound.
Compared with the people of this era, Shen Lie couldn't help but scratch his head. With the little culture in his belly, isn't this a big deal in front of Guan Gong?
But unable to resist Yun'er's coquettishness, Shen Lie had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, let me think about it."
Think for a moment.
Yes.
So Shen Lie pondered and came up with a couplet that would be loved by later generations: "This first couplet is, spring is everywhere."
In an instant, the room became quiet.
Yun'er was stunned, and quickly curled her lips and said in disappointment: "Master, your couple is really... too average."
Seeing the disappointment on Yun'er's face, Shen Lie couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. Yun'er still cared about his face, so she put it more tactfully.
This couplet is not only ordinary, it is simply unsightly. This is something that is placed on the street, and no one wants two for a penny.
In front of the little maid, Shen Lie felt that he couldn't keep it on his face, so he hurriedly thought about it, and finally came to his senses 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 looked at her with a shocked look on her face, and felt a little proud in his heart, so he pretended to be profound and muttered: "What am I going to do with this couplet... I bow my head and am willing to be a ruthless cow."
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 words 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 flashing in her bright eyes, as if she was really shocked.
After another long time, Yun'er said softly: "Young Master is mighty."
Looking at this famous pair, Yun'er felt that the image of the young master in her mind was getting bigger and bigger, and those big shining eyes were full of little stars.
Shen Lie felt proud in his heart and couldn't help but smile: "Hehe."
People are stupid!
This is a famous pair that has dominated an entire era.
Never seen it!
Thank you Mr. Lu Xun.
As Yun'er was shocked and fell into deep thought, the small side room fell into a long silence.
The Lantern Festival arrived in a blink of an eye. On this day, Shen Lie and Yun'er left the stall early and set up their items at the old place at the entrance of the alley.
Then the lanterns with riddles written on them were hung up one by one.
Join in the fun.
As the sky gets darker, the lanterns begin to light up.
Red lanterns were lit up in front of each store, and in an instant, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with people as if by magic.
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 boaters, her little face smiled like a flower.
Shen Lie's eyes were also 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.
The prosperous Ming Dynasty, if we count it from the eighth year 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 huge secret deep in his heart, 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.
