Princess is heartbroken

Chapter 295 Gu Yangyang

After Li Yue, Xia Qingtian, and Helian Shuyin chatted for a while, the three of them began to check the account books sent from various places in Xuancheng.

Time passed quickly, and at night, after the three of them had a little dinner, Xia Qingtian took Liyue and Helian Shuyin out of Qingyue Building and started to go shopping in the night market.

The night in Xuancheng is very lively, people come and go, it is very crowded.

Xia Qingtian led Liyue and Helian Shuyin to run around in the streets of Xuancheng, and ate a lot of snacks.

Of course, Xia Qingtian and Helian Shuyin ate most of it, while Li Yue ate very little.After all, Li Yue's health is not good and she can't eat much food.

After eating the snacks, Xia Qingtian led the two of them to continue shopping.

Walked to the lively place ahead and stopped.

Xia Qingtian pulled Li Yue and Helian Shuyin, squeezed through the crowd, and stood in front.

It turned out that ahead was an activity similar to a competition with prizes, such as guessing lantern riddles, antithetical couplets, composing poems and so on.

There are prizes for guessing the correct lantern riddles, and couplets are all eternal absolutes.

As for the prizes, there are silver coins, practical objects, and some unique treasures.

There is a rule that only women can participate in this event.

What is going on on the stage is guessing lantern riddles. The method is to answer quickly. All the onlookers, as long as they are women, can answer quickly. The one who answers the most questions wins.

Rows of lanterns were placed on the stage, a man took the puzzles from the lamps, and read aloud: "All things floating in the soul!"

The crowd of onlookers was clamoring, suddenly a woman raised her hand and said, "Fengyun!"

The man on the stage smiled slightly: "Congratulations girl! The answer is Fengyun!"

Please listen to the next question: "Taste the half-empty Dukang bottle! Name it!"

The crowd started talking again, but the woman raised her hand before, "Ditang!"

"Congratulations girl, you got the answer right! The answer is Ditang!"

Please listen to the next question: "..."

The man on the stage read a total of twenty lantern riddles, and the woman answered eighteen of them correctly, which is not bad.

The three of Li Yue admired each other, especially Li Yue, because she didn't guess any of them.

The woman came to the stage to accept the award, 500 taels of silver. The woman looked at the silver with bright eyes.

Li Yue is amused, this woman is probably a money addict.

Next came the couplets. Two beautiful women came up on the stage, each holding a rolled couplet in his hand. As soon as the man spoke, the two women swiped the couplets and unfolded them.

The couplet on the left reads: If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, it will be fishing;

The couplet on the right reads: The moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, year after year, twilight and morning, and the sun is seen at the end of the night.

The man faced the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is a couplet of two blessings written by my young master himself. The time limit is [-] minutes. The best one wins!"

The crowd below started to commotion, many women fell into deep thought, some of them couldn't tell their apology, they started scratching their heads, some even stomped their feet anxiously.

Behind the platform is a shed that has been set up.In the shed, several women were sitting, constantly looking out.

Opposite the woman, sat a man dressed in a white brocade robe. The man's face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like stars, and his gestures and feet were full of elegance.

The woman sitting in the middle looked at the man opposite, and asked aloud, "Mo'er, do you like any of those women?"

The man showed helplessness, and stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brows, "Mother, there are so many women, and they have never been in contact with each other before, so how do you know if you like it or not?"

The woman squinted at the man with displeasure on her face: "Mo'er, do you still want to shirk? You are already 23 years old, if you don't hurry up to get married, when will mother have a grandson?"

"Mother doesn't care, either you pick out the one you like from among those women, and Mother will ask someone to propose a marriage! Or, Mother will help you choose, and then someone will propose a marriage, you just marry!"

The man was helpless, and sighed, "Okay, mother, I'll take a closer look and try to pick out one that I'm satisfied with!"

"That's about the same!" The woman's face was full of smiles.

The man shook his head, turned his head, looked into the crowd, and saw a touch of light green inadvertently.

Squinting his eyes slightly, the woman's complexion came into view, stunningly beautiful.Wearing a light green skirt, there is only a green hairband on the head, and no other accessories.

The expression on the woman's face was always indifferent. The man beside her was him, Xia Qingtian.

A quarter of an hour later, the man on the stage knocked the gong, and then shouted to the audience: "Everyone, have you thought about it?"

Ladies, look at me and I look at you, the expressions on their faces are mostly annoyed.

The woman who guessed the most lantern riddles before raised her hand, then walked up to the stage, and said loudly: "The first couplet, the second couplet is, under the tree is the root, above the tree is the end, wood is wood, pines and cypresses are dense."

"Good!" Many people in the audience cheered and applauded, "That's right!"

"The second couplet, the second couplet is, flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool and cool, and spring comes after severe winter."

"Good! Good!" The cheers became more enthusiastic.

Several old scholars who were sitting on the side as the judges also nodded vigorously.

In the shed, the woman looked at the woman on the stage, her eyes flashed with satisfaction.He hurriedly turned his head to look at his son, and asked, "Mo'er, what do you think of that woman?"

"Very good!" the man said absent-mindedly.

"Mother thinks it's pretty good too!" Madam smiled from ear to ear, turned her head to greet the maid beside her, signaled her to come on stage, and managed to find out the woman's name.

The servant girl took the order and went to the stage, whispered a few words to the man hosting the stage, and then walked off the stage.

On the stage, the man walked up to the woman and asked, "The girl is talented! Dare to ask the girl's name?"

The woman smiled, "Little girl Gu Yangyang!"

The man pointed towards the direction of the shed, nodded his head slightly, then looked at the audience, and said loudly: "Gu Yangyang, Miss Gu, you have outstanding talents, and the two couplets are neat and ingenious. You won this round!"

"Reward 2000 taels of silver and a white jade hairpin!"

Gu Yangyang smiled and narrowed his eyes, revealing two small canine teeth, very cute.

Many people in the audience cheered, and many women looked at Gu Yangyang with jealous eyes.

Li Yue turned her head to look at Xia Qingtian, and said with some amusement, "Qing Tian, ​​this woman loves money very much!"

Xia Qingtian chuckled: "That's right! Just now she got 500 taels, her eyes are shining, but now, she can't even see!"

The man hosting the stage knocked the gong and said in a loud voice: "The third round is a competition to write a poem! With maple leaves as the theme, the best wins! The time limit is [-] minutes!"

After the man's voice fell, all the women in the audience began to commotion again, frowning in thought.

At this moment, a man in a white robe came out from the rear shed.
