After the luck of rebirth was taken away, the true and false daughters teamed up

Chapter 551 Flower Brew
Before Song Shiyun could react, he swayed and was pulled into Xie Rugu's arms.

Almost at the same moment, a figure rubbed the hem of her skirt and fell to the ground.

It was a young man with a flushed face and smelling of alcohol. When he fell, the mask on his face also fell off.

Looking at his confused look, he seemed to have drunk too much.

Li Hong looked at that person and was a little unhappy, "Why are there people running around after drinking too much?"

There was an elderly stall owner next to him, and he said, "It's like this every year. Not far ahead, there is a Baihua Brewing Party. There are drinks made from various flowers. Every year, many people get drunk."

Li Hong raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Can flowers and wine also make people drunk?"

The stall owner smiled and said: "If you drink one or two cups, you will definitely not get drunk, but no matter what kind of wine you drink, you will always get drunk if you drink too much."

Li Hong: "..."

There is some truth to this.

Li Hong didn't know what to say.

He focused his attention on Song Shiyun again and asked with concern: "Little junior sister, did I bump into you?"

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu stood together and shook their heads when they heard this, "No."

Just now Xie Ruzhi pulled her away in time, and she was fine.

only……

Song Shiyun looked at the man lying on the ground, his eyes darkening slightly.

Xie Rugu looked at the people on the ground expressionlessly, lowered his arms, held Song Shiyun's palm, and whispered: "Follow me."

Song Shiyun pursed his lips and nodded almost invisible.

Xie Rugu took Song Shiyun's hand and walked forward.

Perhaps it was because Xie Ru had a stinky face and looked like he was not easy to mess with, so the people around him consciously moved aside.

The shopkeeper next to him quickly helped the drunk man to the pavilion and asked him to sit down and rest.

"There are quite a lot of lanterns in this place." Li Hong could tell that Xie Rugu seemed to be in a bad mood, so he deliberately laughed, "Little junior sister, why don't you take a look and see if there is anything you like?"

When Song Shiyun heard this, he glanced at Xie Rugu, looked up at the lantern above, and pointed, "This lantern is pretty good."

Xie Rugu and Li Hong both looked over.

What Song Shiyun was pointing at was a white jade lantern with many flower patterns hollowly engraved on it.

But, it's not gaudy.

The slightly translucent texture of white jade, coupled with the original color patterns carved on the body, looks very beautiful.

Under the illumination of the light, different brilliance will be reflected from various angles, falling on the flowers, revealing a bit of subtle coquettishness.

This lantern placed there immediately made all the surrounding lanterns look unsightly.

Li Hong touched his chin and couldn't help but say, "Junior sister has a pretty good taste."

"However, this mystery seems a bit difficult."

Li Hong looked at the lantern riddle hanging below the lantern. The riddle read: The Emperor and Heaven are above.

Guess a flower.

Are there any flowers related to Emperor Tianshang?
When Li Hong was thinking about it, someone happened to be guessing next to him.

"Peony?"

"It's a peony, right? It's the most magnificent flower when it blooms in the capital, right?"

"If it's not a peony, then it's a plum blossom? Noblely hanging on the branches, very high?"

When the lampkeeper next to him heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

Apparently, none of them got it right.

Seeing this, Li Hong couldn't help but whisper: "This riddle looks simple, but it's hard to guess. It must be a hidden mystery."

Song Shiyun nodded in agreement, "However, if it were not difficult to guess, this lantern would have been taken away long ago."

When the lantern keeper heard this, he smiled and said, "What this girl is saying is that this lantern is made of fine mutton-fat white jade. It requires craftsmen to cut the jade into slices, which are as thin as transparent. But it does not affect the rigidity of the jade, and it has to be carved on it without damaging the jade, which requires a very demanding craftsman's craftsmanship and is not something that ordinary people can do."

"This lantern is the only one made by the best craftsmen in Xi City. It took three years to make it. It can be said that it is the only one in the entire Daqing Dynasty."

"So, naturally this lamp cannot be picked off easily."

"However, this mystery is actually quite simple. If you want to take away this lantern, you can give it a try."

Song Shiyun heard the words of the lantern keeper and focused his attention on the lantern again.

Many people around were guessing about this lantern, but for a while, they couldn't guess what kind of flower it was related to.

In terms of value, the best golden peony is naturally the most expensive and the most royal.

Some people have guessed, but they didn't get it right.

If we talk about taller branches, many people have guessed plum blossoms, begonias, etc.

But none of them guessed correctly.

For a moment, some people were wondering, was the lampkeeper deliberately teasing them?
Song Shiyun had a dispensable attitude toward lanterns.

Seeing that no one else had guessed it, she didn't pay much attention to it herself. She tugged Xie Ruji's hand and said half-heartedly, "Let's go, let's go see other places." Xie Ruji stared at the lantern and said: "Don't you want this lantern?"

Song Shiyun frowned, "This mystery is a bit difficult."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu turned his head to look at her.

Song Shiyun saw the light in his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Is it possible that you guessed it?"

Xie Ru curled his lips and said, "It's not difficult."

Song Shiyun was a little surprised.

When the lampkeeper on the side heard this, his expression did not change at all, and he just asked politely: "What do you think the answer to the mystery is?"

He has seen too many people like Xie Rugu, who seemed to have a good idea, but in the end, the answer to the mystery was far from the truth.

The lampkeeper didn't believe it at all. Xie Rugu had really guessed it.

Xie Rugu smiled when he heard the words, "The answer to this riddle is indeed simple, because the answer has been given straightforwardly."

When the lampkeeper heard this, the smile on his face faded, "Then the young master is very sure of his answer?"

Song Shiyun, Li Hong and others couldn't help but look at Xie Rugu.

Xie Rugu shook Song Shiyun's hand, nodded and said, "White jade flower."

The lampkeeper had a meal.

The people around him were also stunned.

"Bai Yuhua?"

"...Your Majesty, if you take apart the word "Emperor", wouldn't it be white jade flawless?"

"Yeah, that makes sense!"

"By the way, the lantern is made of white jade!"

"So it's really open to the public?"

Everyone was a little surprised.

Song Shiyun was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Indeed, judging from the information on the mystery and the surface, it is Bai Yuhua.

However, because the lanterns were made of white jade, no one thought about it at all.

This is really clear information...

The lantern keeper looked at Xie Rugu and smiled stiffly, "I didn't expect that Young Master guessed it right. The answer is indeed Bai Yuhua."

Xie Rugu smiled lightly, "So, should you give me this lantern?"

"Of course." The lantern keeper personally took down the lantern, "Although it is not easy to make this lantern, we have our word first. As long as the young master answers correctly, this lantern will naturally belong to the young master."

The lantern keeper handed the lantern to Xie Rugu, his eyes full of reluctance.

But here are the rules.

No one will be the one to break the rules.

Xie Ru took the lantern and handed it to Song Shiyun.

Song Shiyun looked at the lantern in front of him, paused, and used his free hand to reach out and take the lantern.

Under the surrounding lights of various colors, this lantern looks even more beautiful than when it is hanging in mid-air.

Song Shiyun suddenly said: "Thank you."

Xie Rugu chuckled: "What the second sister said, I didn't hear clearly."

Song Shiyun was silent for two seconds and looked at him, "It's nothing, just forget it if you didn't hear it."

The curve of Xie Rugu's lips became wider, and he was even happier than before.

"Let's go, let's continue shopping."

Song Shiyun nodded.

Xie Ru took Song Shiyun all the way forward.

Li Hong looked at their backs, touched his chin, and suddenly realized one thing, shouldn't he be here?
but……

Seeing Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun walking away, Li Hong still chased after them.

The group walked past the lanterns and then went to Baihua Nong.

Wutong Town and Xicheng are both rich in flowers.

However, the flower brews on both sides taste very different.

The flower wine in Wutong Town is on the softer side, mostly retaining the flavor of flowers and almost no alcohol flavor.

Xicheng's flower wine is strong, full of wine flavor, and the flavor of the flowers is also very hot.

Song Shiyun had no interest in such flower wine, so he drank a glass and put it down.
