Naturally, there are talented people who can guess a lantern riddle. At this time, Shen Lie will say a few compliments and give a carefully prepared small gift.
This is called a lucky draw, and it is also the rule for playing lantern riddles, so everyone is happy.
Seek good luck.
But this couplet published by Shen Lie...
It's true that no one can match it.
Shen Lie didn't care either. He remembered that a few couplets were of no use. He was a small character who set up a stall to make hard money, so what was the use of being literary?
Scholars, forget about taking the exams. Besides, he is just a peddler running a stall and doing small business. What does he need to be strong and strong?
However, with these word puzzles and this unique first couplet, it really attracted a lot of literati and poets to watch.
So in the hustle and bustle, Shen Lie's ring trap stall was doing a very prosperous business, and he kept stuffing yellow copper coins into his purse, making Shen Lie smile from ear to ear.
The bustling business lasted until late at night, and the noisy crowds on the street gradually dispersed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
The noisy crowd gradually dispersed, and it was a busy night.
Shen Lie patted his sore waist, looked around, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, close the stall."
Yun'er clutched the bulging money bag tightly and responded excitedly: "Hey!"
This one night's income was equivalent to three days' worth of work. With one tael of silver in hand, the master and servant were in a good mood and began to pack up the stall.
The lights were dim at this time.
But not far away, there were several handsome young men chatting and laughing, walking slowly under the protection of their servants. The laughter reached his ears, and Shen Lie couldn't help but feel a movement in his heart and was slightly startled.
Turn around.
Looking back at dusk.
Then under the dim lights, he saw a familiar and pretty face, a tall and tall beauty dressed in men's clothing, slowly walking over accompanied by several Confucian scholars.
Looking at the beauty dressed in men's clothing, with her familiar pretty face, and her slender figure that could not be concealed by the wide Confucian clothes, Shen Lie was stunned, and his mind went blank for a moment.
"is her……"
Stunned.
Shen Lie stared blankly at the group of people approaching slowly, and his whole body seemed to have been transformed into a wooden man as if his acupuncture points had been tapped.
Although she changed out of women's clothes and put on men's clothes and wore a fur hat, Shen Lie still recognized her at a glance.
Looking back again, the beauty was actually in a dimly lit place.
A few feet away, the stunning beauty disguised as a man also saw Shen Lie.
The beauty stopped involuntarily and opened her beautiful eyes wide, with a surprised look on her face, as if she had seen something incredible.
At this moment, the two people looked at each other, as if they had stopped, until...
A Confucian scholar next to the stunning woman let out a cry of surprise: "Hey, this stall is quite interesting."
During the conversation.
As the stunning beauty and several Confucian scholars walked slowly over, Shen Lie's heart beat uncontrollably, and his mouth went dry for a while.
Shen Lie suppressed the excitement in his heart, pinched his thigh lightly, forced himself to wake up, and hurriedly bowed.
"You gentlemen, be polite."
Several Confucian scholars responded, then looked at the ingenious word puzzle and began to study it under the dim light, letting out a few chuckles from time to time.
"Interesting, one..."
Sure enough, this word stumped several Confucian scholars. Several young Confucian scholars pondered and thought about it, but they could not come to terms with it, so they had no choice but to bow to the beauty dressed in men's clothing.
"I have to ask Brother Jingxiu to solve this puzzle."
"Of course, Brother Jingxiu is smarter and smarter than us. Come and kill this store owner!"
There was a burst of cheers and compliments, and the beauty in men's clothing looked at Shen Lie and nodded. Shen Lie hurriedly returned the favor, and his heart skipped a beat again.
And silently recited in his heart: "Quiet, quiet..."
You know what they call it.
Retreat.
Good name.
But I saw that the beauty in men's clothing pondered for a moment, then slapped the folding fan in her hand, and the corners of her rosy mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.
The familiar, sweet and crisp voice sounded in Shen Lie's ears: "One... one after two, two after three, one after another."
Everyone was stunned and cheered.
"good!"
Shen Lie hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, and said softly: "Young Master is wise."
With that said, he picked up a naive porcelain doll and handed it over as a lottery ticket.
The beautiful woman stretched out her emerald green hands, took the porcelain doll, and winked at Shen Lie playfully.
"Thank you, store owner."
This smile was alluring, and there was something delicate and charming about a girl in her elegance. Such charm made Shen Lie's heart tremble, and he almost even pulled out his soul.
The heart beat uncontrollably again.
Then, several young men encouraged the quick-thinking beauty in men's clothing to solve the puzzles hanging on Shen Lie's stall.
Not long after.
There was a pile of porcelain dolls and Maitreya Buddha in the woman's hands. There was a bit of pride in her eyebrows, as if she was deliberately going against Shen Lie, and she was very playful.
"The store owner... Xiaosheng is offended."
Shen Lie was stunned: "Huh?"
Seeing the corner of the woman's mouth raised slightly, revealing a playful smile, Shen Lie quickly raised his arm in amusement, wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and acted cooperatively as if he was dripping with sweat.
After all, he is an actor.
Extraordinary acting skills.
Seeing how witty he was, all the Confucian scholars burst out laughing.
"hehe."
"Hahaha."
There was a burst of laughter in front of the stall: "This shopkeeper is quite an interesting person... Huh?"
As several young Confucian scholars turned their attention to the couplet, the laughter gradually subsided. The word puzzle was just a riddle, but the couplet was somewhat learned.
"A cold brow pointed at a thousand men...
His eyes were fixed at this moment, time was frozen at this moment, and the already dimly lit streets suddenly became quiet.
a long time.
Only then did a Confucian scholar take a breath of cold air and praised: "This... is so courageous!"
After a while, the pairs of eyes reluctantly moved away from the first couplet and fell on Shen Lie, even though these Confucian scholars had always been arrogant.
He couldn't help but look at Shen Lie in a different light.
But Shen Lie's attention was all on the beauty. Her bright eyes lit up, and her surprised look was so touching.
Silence is better than sound at this moment.
After another long time, a Confucian scholar looked at Shen Lie intently and said curiously: "May I ask the store owner, is this couplet really made by you?"
Shen Lie smiled humbly, but said nothing.
Several Confucian scholars then exclaimed: "Good!"
"My emperor, Ming, is really prosperous in his writing style. Even though he is a trafficker and a pawn, he can still write poems and write poems!"
So after some admiration, this couplet really stumped several Confucian scholars, and they looked expectantly at the beauty in men's clothing.
At this time, the beauty in men's clothing was also stunned.
The beautiful woman pondered for a long time, then said helplessly: "I'm sorry."
The bright eyes turned to look at Shen Lie again, and said softly: "Dare you ask me, brother..."
Seeing her looking at him with surprise, Shen Lie couldn't help feeling a little proud, so he picked up the second line he had already written and handed it over, then showed an honest and honest smile.
