Chapter 24 Guessing the Riddle
Fengdu City deserves to be the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River. Its prosperity need not be repeated. Although it is not comparable to the modern cities of later generations, it also has a simple and simple folk style.

On Qianhu Street, there is a dazzling array of beautiful things in sight, and the lights are brilliant.

Lu Yao is impatient and can't bear to go shopping slowly like taking a walk after a meal, let alone they haven't finished their meal yet!The aroma of food on this street can be smelled from far away, and he couldn't wait for it.

Bright and expectant eyes swept over the little friends behind him, everyone looked up to the sky and the ground deliberately did not meet him, there was an expression of grievance on that tender face, seeing the flood of maternal love, Shu He was the first to lose Come: "I will accompany you."

"Hey! Shuhe is the best, she is beautiful and kind! Let's go!"

The lively and cheerful back went away, and the three people who stayed in the same place looked at each other. Jiang Lingxu's face was peaceful, but he was rarely relaxed. He looked sideways at Chu Liandong: "Little sister, do you want anything?"

Chu Lian's ears turned slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed: "No, no. Let's go shopping first!"

On the street, there were crowds of people, and the sound of hawking continued.The three of them unknowingly walked to a booth that draws ropes and guessing puzzles. The stall owner is trying his best to attract customers. There is a shelf behind him. There are many lanterns of different shapes on the shelf, which looks very beautiful. .

Many female relatives gathered in front of the booth, all of them were guessing the riddles with great interest. Chu Lian looked curious and couldn't help but ask the people around her: "I know there will be lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival, but I haven't seen this kind of riddles yet." Brother, do you want to give it a try?"

She kept her eyes on the booth, and after waiting for a long time, no one responded, she felt strange, looked sideways, and saw that the person beside her was wearing a long jade-colored gown, and her hair was tied with a white ribbon. What a handsome and handsome scholar.

Well, Chu Lian was startled and made a sound.

Song Jibai tilted his head slightly, and looked at her sideways, with a smile that was not a smile, with a playful look in his eyes: "Brother?"

Chu Lian's face turned red and she hurriedly looked away, trying to cover up Jiang Lingxu's figure everywhere, only to see that her cheap brother had already walked a long way without knowing that the people around him hadn't followed him. Chu Liandong could even watch all the stalls he was interested in.

My silly brother, have you forgotten the wild sister by the Daming Lake?

Both of them have good looks, and their aura is eye-catching. The young servants who joined the fun noticed the two when they walked near the quiz booth. Hearing their conversation, they thought they were a pair of brother and sister. I sighed in my heart, I don't know which family's young master or young lady this is.

He said out of good intentions: "Miss, the stall owner's ancestors made lanterns, and the business has been handed down to his generation, and the business has become more and more difficult to do. Some time ago, this kid didn't know that he was taught by that expert. I came up with a way of guessing riddles and giving lanterns, and the business will be fine after a while. But this riddle is so difficult that few people can guess it. Miss, if you want to guess the riddle, you can try it, but if you fancy a lantern, I will give it a try. I advise you to buy it directly!"

The servant's words rescued Chu Liandong from the embarrassing atmosphere, and her heart moved: "Is that riddle really so difficult?"

The boy nodded seriously: "It's difficult! Since that kid set up a stall to guess the riddle, only three people have answered it correctly. But that kid still has a little conscience, and if he draws the rope five times, he will give a lantern. "

Chu Liandong secretly complained, what kind of conscience, this is called sustainable development, if the riddle has always been so difficult, then everyone will just give up after a while, but guessing five times to give lanterns is different.

For one thing, although those who want to have fun can't guess the riddle, with this gimmick in front, most of them will choose to guess five times.

Secondly, those who have guessed many times, even if they don't guess it, will not return empty-handed.

This ingenuity is very eye-catching.

The young man looked at Chu Liandong's very interested expression, and couldn't help but encourage him: "Miss, you can ask your brother to guess it. Your brother must be very knowledgeable and talented, so maybe you can just guess." come out?"

Song Jibai gathered his large sleeve robe, glanced at the young servant thoughtfully, and saw Chu Lian's neck twitching in guilt, with a happy smile on her lips: "Which lantern does my sister want?" , I will win it for you for my brother."

Chu Lian really wanted to smoke when she moved. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I want that boat."

After finishing speaking, I felt that I was so condescending and shameless. Holding my breath and wanting to win back, I gritted my teeth and mocked lightly: "It doesn't matter if my brother can't guess it, my sister will buy it out of her own pocket, and tell everyone when I get back." Yes, brother, brother, if you win by guessing the lantern riddles, you will definitely not let your brother lose face! After all, this big brother has already said that it is very difficult!"

After finishing speaking, she glared at him fiercely.

Song Jibai raised his hand and clenched his fist and coughed lightly, hiding the smile on his lips. The ripples in his eyes shook people's minds. He didn't answer but walked towards the stall owner, and asked gently and politely: "Boss, can you Let me try? My little sister wants that boat-shaped lantern behind you."

Seeing the business coming, the stall owner smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Of course, young master, just give it a try. If you can't guess it after five guesses, then the lantern will be given to Lingmei!"

The female relatives around the booth suddenly saw such a handsome young man, their faces were flushed with excitement, and they were in twos and threes, chatting quietly with their handkerchiefs, and glanced at Chu Lian from time to time. Envy can't be concealed at all.

Chu Lian moved expressionlessly, thank you, but there is no need to be envious.

The temperature of the ears that had been so hard to drop became hot again. The man really didn't have a good thing, and he refused to eat at a loss.

The slender fingertips twisted a red string, and with a light pull, a square piece of bamboo was pulled out, with only one word on it: Huang
The stall owner took the bamboo slices with a smile, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, type an idiom, please answer, my lord!"

Chu Lian furrowed her brows and pondered, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind. This form of riddles is basically no different from lantern riddles. Generally speaking, guessing idioms with single characters needs to be disassembled, which is actually not that difficult.

With the answer in her heart, she squeezed her hands a little excitedly. If Song Jibai couldn't answer, she would go to the rescue and come out to save the fox. It would be best to let him know who is the king and the king!
It's a pity that Song Jibai was destined to disappoint her, only to see that pair of cold eyes blinking slightly, and he was sure of winning: "Bai Yu is flawless."

The people around were in an uproar, chattering and discussing, the stall owner's eyes widened, and he guessed it: "Congratulations, young man, you got the answer right! Hold your lantern!"

"You guessed right! This young man guessed right!"

I don't know who yelled such a sentence, but everyone's eyes on Song Jibai changed instantly.

　Emperor, to use an idiom, it means flawless white jade.Take it apart and see, Huang = Bai + Wang, and if there is a little less jade, it is the king, so it means that there are no flaws.Ha ha ha ha!
　　At this time, Jiang Lingxu was still serious about shopping. It was clearly a world of three people, but he lived as one.
