Chapter 192 Mistress Sanhua Wants to Guess Lantern Riddles
This store is a brothel by the river, and the person reading the question is a delicate and well-dressed woman. At this moment, a middle-aged literati is guessing. Looking at the other people, most of them seem to be watching the fun.

"You……"

Song You rubbed the cat's head and walked over with her in his arms.

The lights here are particularly bright, and the well-dressed woman standing at the door is reflected by the light, her face is like a peach blossom, and she smiles sweetly.

I saw her holding a lantern and whispering:

"When the children under the steps face up, the Qingming makeup is the most suitable. When the hair is broken and weak, don't complain about parting to the east wind. Officials, this is the second way."

"As soon as Yousi is broken, don't complain about parting with Dongfeng..."

The middle-aged literati muttered in a low voice, without needing to scrutinize it carefully, he said with a smile, and said with a smile:
"But paper kites?"

"Exactly!"

As soon as the words fell, some people in the surrounding audience smiled, probably because I guessed it right in my heart.Some people suddenly realized, and then savored it carefully, and smiled.

Although Dayan has many student aid policies similar to Yizhuang and Xuetian, there are also many government-run schools and private villas, and the literacy rate is the highest in history, but after all, due to the time limit, there are still a large number of Changjing people present who have not read books or People who have not read many books can't understand the meaning.But it doesn't matter, there is still a servant standing next to him, explaining the meaning of the lantern riddle and its mysteries to everyone.

This can not only attract people to come, but also better highlight the literati's demeanor. When the literati are happy, they will come more.

Therefore, the servant not only had to explain, but also praised the literati who guessed the lantern riddles in a timely manner, so that everyone could know his demeanor and make the guests happy.

After these ordinary people understand it, they often smile and write it down secretly so that they can share it elsewhere.

"The official's literary thinking is quick, and Yan Yao admires it." The woman said with a smile, "Any more correct answer, and this tassel lantern will be given to the official."

"Please."

The middle-aged literati are very personable.

"Listen, officials." The woman in full makeup smiled slightly, held up another lantern, and read aloud, "There are layers of stones without mountains, a short journey can't be completed, rumbling thunder without rain, and heavy snow without feeling cold. "

"There are layers of stones that don't see mountains..."

The middle-aged literati still whispered, but gradually frowned.

The people watching around also began to think about it, some people figured it out, and some people couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that the literati who guessed the riddles were embarrassed, the woman smiled again, and reminded her generously:
"It's something common people use."

"..."

The middle-aged literati still frowned, unable to figure it out.

"Does the official know?"

"I don't know..."

"It must be that the officials are of noble background, and they rarely do this kind of work, so they don't know about it."

"Please teach me, my lady."

The middle-aged literati knew that she was defending himself, so he saluted quickly.

"There are not many lantern riddles prepared by the store, so I will leave this question to the next one." The woman smiled, "If the officials want to know the riddles, they only need to rest here for a while."

"Thank you..."

The middle-aged literati shook his head regretfully, so he had to step aside.

The woman looked at the crowd: "I wonder if there is any official who knows the answer to this question and wants to come up and guess it. As long as you answer three questions correctly, Yanyao will give you a lantern or a jug of fine wine from the store."

For a moment, everyone outside looked at each other in blank dismay.

Song You can almost see it——

Go up and guess the lantern riddles, and if you guess three correctly, you can get a lantern. If you guess wrong, there seems to be no other punishment.

This brothel is very smart.

Brothels have never been short of money, and their clients happen to be mainly literati.Guessing lantern riddles is very accurate for literati. Ordinary people can't guess it, and those who can guess it will lose face. In any case, their shop can't lose money because of it.Maybe business will be good tonight.

"Meow?"

"..."

Song You walked out with the cat in his arms.

Seeing that she was a Taoist, the woman in full makeup didn't neglect her in any way, and after seeing the Taoist holding a cat, her brows and eyes softened a little, and she bowed down to salute him.

"Sir, you are polite."

"Shanren from Yizhou, Song You, be polite."

"Is sir also here to guess lantern riddles?"

"Want to try."

"Let's take the question just now as the question." The woman said, "I don't know if sir has the answer?"

"But stone mill?"

"Exactly!"

The woman said with a smile.

"Stone mill!"

The middle-aged literati next to him was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, his eyes lit up, and he repeated it in a murmur, and then he cupped his hands and said to the Taoist: "It's so simple, I can't guess it, I'm really ashamed..."

"Don't dare dare." Song You also hurriedly replied, "It's just that you rarely touch the stone mill."

"This poem is very wonderful. I wonder if my lady can sell the lantern with this poem on it?"

"If the officials are willing to drink two jugs of wine, listen to a song, or enjoy a dance in the store, what's the point of the little girl giving it to the officials?" said the woman.

"it is good!"

The literati immediately called a friend and entered the shop.

Song You saluted the woman:

"I admire..."

"Sir, that's ridiculous." The woman in full makeup smiled immediately, as if to be praised by a Taoist priest was more gratifying than being praised by a literati who was often a customer of the shop, and then said, "Sir, did you do a good job?" Ready to answer the second question?"

"Please open your golden mouth with one step."

"..."

The woman showed her face and smiled, turned sideways to pick out among the many lanterns, picked a simple one, held it in her hands and read in a low voice: "Three autumn leaves can be untied, February flowers can be bloomed, thousands of feet of waves across the river, ten thousand poles of bamboo can be slanted. "

When Song You heard this, he also laughed.

This question is simple, where do I need to think carefully?What's more, Taoists stay away from the world of mortals most of the time, and devote themselves to the mountains and rivers. From Yizhou Lingquan to Changjing, I don't know how many winds and rains I have seen.

"wind."

"Congratulations sir, you have already answered the second question." The woman smiled, "Although the master is an outsider, he is also quite knowledgeable. If you want to come to the third question, it will not be difficult for you."

"Thank you, sir."

"Mr. learned the knowledge and solved the problems by himself. How can a little girl be worthy of a thank you?" Fascinated the literati.

"Please ask questions."

"it is good……"

The woman picked it up again, then picked up another lantern, and read: "Thousands of shapes and phenomena are still empty, reflecting water and hidden mountains are repeated, infinite dry seedlings are dying, and leisurely places make strange peaks."

When the words fell to the ground, the literati who were watching around him also began to think.

The Taoist knows it after a little taste.

"cloud."

When the literati around heard the words, some eyes lit up, and some showed annoyance, as if they were about to think of it soon, but just a moment before thinking of it, they were said by this Taoist. The pleasure of the puzzle is naturally weakened by half.

"Mr. Vince is really quick."

"It can't be called agile, but Xiayuan is a monk in the mountains and loves to look at the clouds." The Taoist said, "I really should thank you for taking care of me."

"Sir, do you want a lantern? Or do you want wine?"

"I'm a Taoist, wearing a Taoist robe. I'm afraid that I won't fit in when I enter your place, so I just ask for a lantern."

"The Taoist leader just chooses."

"Thank you..."

Song You went forward with the cat in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Which lantern does Mistress Sanhua like?"

When everyone heard it, they felt novelty.

However, I saw the cat looking left and right, scanning back and forth on many lanterns, as if it really understood the words.

After a while, the cat couldn't take his eyes off the left side. He raised his little hand, stretched out a cat's paw wearing a clean white glove, pointed at the lantern, looked back at the Taoist, and then at the woman.

It was a horse lantern, very delicately made.

Everyone was even more amazed, as if they were watching a magic trick.

"I don't know this lantern..."

"Sir, good eyesight!"

The woman immediately untied the lantern and handed it to the Taoist with a smile.

"Thank you."

The Taoist took the lantern and saluted solemnly.

Speaking of which, the reason why this brothel is here to guess lantern riddles is just to attract scholars to enter the store for consumption, or to form a good relationship with them.As a Taoist, they are not their target customers, but they do not despise them at all.To say that the only difference was that I politely boasted at the beginning, and they picked out the simplest and best-answered lantern riddles for him.After answering correctly, this pony lantern held by a long pole was so delicately made, probably the most precious of all lanterns, yet he gave it as a gift without any hesitation.

"..."

The Taoist smiled, holding a lantern and holding it up to watch as he walked.

A long mahogany pole, two or three feet long, with a copper-clad top and decorated with cloud patterns, hanging from a canopy with tassels, and underneath is a pony with a mane and tail, and a saddle cushion.

If you want to buy this lantern, I'm afraid it will cost at least a thousand dollars.

I'm afraid it will be more expensive on the day of the Lantern Festival.

There are a few small characters written on the lantern:

"Changjing Qinghong Courtyard."

The Taoist looked back and saw that the pavilion was elegantly built, with carved railings and painted buildings, antique, and the beauty of the building was vividly and exquisitely reflected.At this moment, the light box is in front, and there are countless colored lights, which is even more beautiful like a painting.On the second floor, the sound of elegant music is constantly heard, and figures can be seen dancing gracefully on the window paper, shadowy and indistinct.

There is a plaque at the door with three words:
"Qinghong Courtyard."

Is this the best in Changjing, Qinghongyuan, Qinghongyuan in Lihuayuan?

The Taoist smiled and walked forward.

The cat next to him turned to look at him with sparkling eyes.

"Meow!"

"It's just a coincidence..."

"Meow……"

"I won this lantern by guessing lantern riddles. I bought it neither with my money nor with Empress Sanhua's. Naturally, Empress Sanhua can take it in the same way." The Taoist said Smiling while bowing his head to talk to the cat, walking on the road at the moment, it seems to be talking to himself, which is really strange, "It just so happens that I have heard of a lantern riddle before, so why not do it like this, as long as Mistress Sanhua can guess the riddle." A lantern riddle, this horse lantern belongs to Empress Sanhua."

"..."

Sanhuamao stared at him suspiciously.

After a long time, he meowed softly.

"Mistress Sanhua, please listen carefully."

"Well……"

"Looking at the mountains from a distance, listening to the silent water, the spring is gone, the flowers are still there, and the birds are not surprised when people come." The Taoist spoke slowly, afraid that she might not hear clearly, and then said, "I learned this poem when I was young. Coincidentally, Empress Sanhua is also young, so she read it to Empress Sanhua. Even if you can't guess it, it's good to learn."
