I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 276 The lantern market is like daylight, Young Master Wushuang

Luo Qianhuai glanced at Yan Shu and Yan Ning, who were holding hands behind him, and saw the latter staring longingly at a rabbit lantern with colorful spikes hanging from the corners, so he raised his head and looked at the lantern riddle:

[Hearing the wind in the boudoir of the back village. Type a word]

This riddle is quite simple. Luo Qianhuai smiled slightly and went to pull the bamboo slip with the riddle written on it. Someone on the side told her the answer before her: "It's a seal."

The stall owner was a round-faced man with a smile on his face. Hearing this, he reached out and took down the rabbit lantern and handed it over: "Young Master is very quick in thinking. This is a bonus."

Tao Qi took the lamp and handed it to Luo Qianhuai: "Ms. Luo, this lamp is for you."

Luo Qianhuai took it generously and handed it to Yan Ning: "Go and thank you, Brother Tao."

Tao Qi is now sixteen years old, only eight years older than Yan Ning, so it is appropriate to call him brother.

After Luo Qianhuai's careful care these days, the little girl is no longer as pale and thin as before. Her face gradually becomes plumper, and her hair gradually becomes shiny. Now wearing a new pink and white dress, she looks Like a pretty little dumpling.

She gave him a blessing gift seriously and said softly: "Thank you, Brother Tao."

Even though the gift he had worked so hard to get was not favored by the beautiful lady, Tao Qi would not be angry with such a cute little girl.

"Ms. Luo, which one do you still like? Let me guess for you." He decided to keep trying.

"That's not necessary." Luo Qianhuai preferred the pleasure of guessing riddles.

Out of various selfish motives, Xingjiu couldn't stand any interaction between Luo Qianhuai and Tao Qi:

"Ms. Luo, look at that lantern." She pointed to an octagonal revolving lantern of a beauty stepping on the moon hanging above another stall not far away: "It's so beautiful. Let's go take a look, shall we?"

The lamp is indeed very exquisitely made. The eight beauties on the lamp are all slender and fit together, with colorful silks flying around their bodies, and they look like gods as they spin.

The crowd of people watching in front of this stall was several times larger than that of the previous one. Everyone pointed at the revolving lantern, but no one guessed the riddle.

When Luo Qianhuai and others squeezed in to take a look, they saw that the mystery was quite long:

[Come downstairs, the money will drop. Ask the sky where the person is.

I hated Wang Sun and kept going. It is difficult to stay with an enemy.

I regret that I made the mistake of speaking out. There is handing over, but there is no handing over.

Why do you need to ask? You don't need a knife to separate. From now on, don’t rely on your enemies. The longing for you will disappear in just one breath. 】

The puzzle doesn't specify what the puzzle is about, but it could be words, objects, place names, etc. Because of this, the light is still there until now.

"I guessed it!" A man dressed as a scholar shouted loudly: "The answer is a resentful woman!"

The stall owner smiled and shook his head: "No, no. Master, please think again."

"Boss, your puzzle is too difficult. Why don't you clarify the direction with us and tell us what the answer is?" said one of the onlookers.

"Yes. Boss, could it be that you are reluctant to part with this lamp and have come up with such an unsolvable mystery just to fool me?"

The boss waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't misunderstand me. To be honest, this riddle was created by a master specially invited by the shop. If you can guess the riddle, you will not only get this lamp, but also I have to meet that noble scholar. It’s just a rare opportunity, and it won’t happen unless you are an extremely talented person, so I ask you to continue working hard.”

Tao Qi looked at the riddle and was not sure at all, "Madam Luo, this riddle is too difficult. The boss must be trying to create a gimmick to attract people's attention. He doesn't really want to give away the lantern. Why don't we go first?" elsewhere"

Luo Qianhuai didn't hear him at all. She always did this when she was concentrating on her thoughts. She had seen countless mysteries in her previous life, and they were of all kinds. She had countless more experiences than people of this era, and she quickly found her direction.

For such a complicated riddle, if you just guess a place name, the possibility of finding an item is very low, so the most likely possibility is an anagram, and it's not just a word. It's like finding the source of the zipper. Just pull it gently and it will be solved.

When Tao Qi saw her standing there, contemplating, a smile gradually appeared on the corners of her lips. The light in her eyes was brighter than that of Shangyuan Ye in Xijing, and seemed to shine directly into his heart.

"I know the answer!" Two voices sounded at the same time, one of them was Luo Qianhuai, and the other came from the outside of the crowd.

The sound is as cold and sweet as gold and jade clashing, and the person is like the snow on the branches of jade, and the purple walls are slightly purple in the dark night. Even if he is in the midst of thousands of lights, he is as independent from the world as a banished immortal, and his graceful and beautiful face is difficult to describe and paint.

Luo Qianhuai's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a beat at this moment, and then it started to beat quickly after being aware of it.

The lantern market was as bright as day, covering up the bright clouds flying across her eyes.

The stall owner smiled and rubbed his hands: "Since the young lady and the young master have the answer at the same time, I wonder which one should tell it first?"

"Let's go together." Mr. Mo stepped forward with extremely graceful steps. The purple cloak with black mink collar was very luxurious, and the black jade crown on his head was also gleaming.

Wherever he passed, the crowd automatically retreated and made way for a passage.

"Excuse me for being stupid, little old man. I wonder what the young master means by what he said?" the stall owner asked in a dilemma.

"The two of us will write down the answers separately and ask the boss to read them." Mr. Mo walked to Luo Qianhuai's side, and without moving, he squeezed Tao Qi behind him and stood side by side with Luo Qianhuai.

"I wonder what Madam Luo wants?" He lowered his eyes and his voice sounded softly on Luo Qianhuai's head.

"Good idea." Luo Qianhuai quickly agreed while hating that beauty could mislead others.

Mr. Mo stretched out his hand, took two pens and silk, and handed one to Luo Qianhuai.

Among the crowd, Wei Ying, a caring subordinate who could do anything at any time, silently retracted his hand and hid his name deeply.

The stall owner is the owner of an antique shop in Xijing, so he naturally has a very good eye. The young master in front of me not only looks noble, but his status is probably not low at all. Otherwise, no one would carry around this precious fine silk and purple bamboo and mink brush just to write the answer to a lantern riddle - you know what he is like The riddle contains a lot of words, and it was just written on a piece of fine linen.

However, there are many powerful people in Xijing. Not only are they just writing answers on silk, but they are also using more expensive Qiluobao trees to pave the ground.

The stall owner shook his head and let the two of them turn their backs to write the answers. He didn't think they could guess it, so when he saw the two identical correct answers, he was so surprised that his beard stood up.

"Congratulations to both of you for guessing correctly!" The stall owner turned over the answer and showed it to the onlookers: "The answer is exactly the ten numbers from one to ten."

Before it is revealed, the mystery is complicated and confusing, but once it is revealed, it becomes much simpler. At that moment, everyone suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

"Come downstairs, the fortune fortune has fallen. Now the word has disappeared. It is exactly one word. Ask the sky, where is the person? The sky has gone and the person is gone. Isn't it the same as two words?"

"Yes, yes, we thought it was too complicated before, but actually it's not difficult to separate them one by one, right?"

"This young master and this young lady are so talented that they can solve the mystery and clear up the clouds."

"Speaking of which, this young man and the young lady stand together, they are truly a match made in heaven."

The stall owner had already personally taken off the octagonal revolving lantern of Beauty Stepping on the Moon, and said somewhat awkwardly: "There are two people, but there is only one lantern. How about you guys discuss it and decide who owns this lantern?"
