Supernatural Rebirth: Farming and Raising a Husband

Chapter 208 The Lantern Festival

Gu Yao pulled Yi Ranchen's sleeve, her voice was full of surprise, "This year's Lantern Festival is so lively and spectacular, it's much better than last year's!"

"Maybe there are more wealthy businessmen this year." Yi Ranchen said with a smile.

That's right, although the annual Lantern Festival is held by the county government, the money is donated by everyone in the county. Of course, the main people it faces are the wealthy businessmen in the county.

"Then did you donate?" Anyway, she donated 100 taels of silver.

Yi Ranchen smiled, and said, "I donated it, not much, only 300 taels."

After the two lion dancers performed a vivid performance, they rolled and jumped, and at the same time hung red couplets from their mouths, and the golden dragon jumped up in the air. style.

"It's so beautiful!" Gu Yao couldn't help sighing while watching the performance ahead.

Yi Ranchen's gaze fell on Gu Yao, smiled, and said, "It's really pretty." Under such a scene, his Yao'er is still so eye-catching!

"Let's go, let's go to the main street." Saying that, Gu Yao grabbed Yi Ranchen's hand and walked to the main street.

In the sky, the fireworks are still being set off, and this time the fireworks have changed again, some are green, some are red, some are blue, some are orange, and some are purple.

The fireworks were set off in the sky, like celestial maidens scattering flowers, and like stars, twinkling in the sky, illuminating the whole sky.

The sound was crackling and deafening.

On the main street, all kinds of lanterns caught the eyes of Gu Yao and Yi Ranchen, with various postures, including pagodas, fish lanterns, eagle lanterns... and they are all colorful and radiant.

"Yi Ranchen, look, look, that lantern is so beautiful!" Suddenly, Gu Yao's eyes fell on the lantern that had just been hung on a small stall.

It was an octagonal glazed lantern. Unlike other lanterns, this lantern was more delicate in workmanship and could be stored for a longer period of time.

Obviously, the people around saw the lantern and all walked towards the stall.

Seeing that Gu Yao liked it, Yi Ranchen hurriedly pulled her over and managed to squeeze in the front while carefully protecting Gu Yao.

"Shopkeeper, is this lantern of yours also a charade?"

"Yes, yes, this lantern is so beautiful!"

"Mother, lantern, lantern, beautiful, beautiful."

"It's really beautiful!"

……

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This lantern is also used for crossword puzzles, but the way of guessing crossword puzzles for this lantern is different from other ways."

"Why is it different?" Yi Ranchen asked.

The shopkeeper still smiled and said, "You just need to guess one word correctly for the rest, but for me, you have to answer all the ten crossword puzzles in my hand correctly."

"Of course, this is just one of the conditions. There is another condition, that is, the lantern guesser must write a crossword puzzle for those who come and go to guess."

"Of course, not everyone can guess. Only those who have passed the puzzle on my side can guess. The number of people is ten. If ten people in a row fail to guess, it is a success and they can take me away. the lanterns."

"If someone can guess the crossword puzzle, similarly, they have to solve another crossword puzzle. In the end, whoever can persist until none of the ten people can guess can successfully take away my lantern. Everyone, what do you think?"

Gu Yao's eyes flickered. Isn't this the same as choosing a ring master first, and then defending the ring? She smiled and said, "Charade guessing, yes, shopkeeper, can I participate?"

The storekeeper said with a smile: "Yes, we can have four people participate at a time. I wonder if anyone else is willing to participate?" After speaking, three more people stood up.

Gu Yao looked at the other people, then asked the shopkeeper, "What if all four of us succeed?" After all, there is only one lantern!

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, please don't worry. If you all succeed, I will announce the rules for the second round. Please don't worry, you four."

The implication is that if there is only one person or no one succeeds, then there is no need for the second round.

Gu Yao nodded, thinking that this was pretty good, so she waited for the store to start.

The shopkeeper gave the four people a piece of paper, a set of pens and ink, and said: "You can find a place to write. I will tell you the anagrams one by one later, and you can just write them on the paper."

This booth is big enough for four people to find a seat to write, and when everything is ready, the store will start.

"Question [-]: Wholeheartedly obey the job change."

"Second question: Bad intentions."

"The third question: Ugly and strong."

"Question [-]: Immaculate white jade."

……

As the store reported the topic, the people around were also guessing in their hearts, because it was a competition, no one said it.

"Okay, I've finished my question. How are you doing? If you have any doubts about the question, you can ask me." He said, looking at the four of them.

"Okay." The four of them got up together and came to the shopkeeper. Speaking of which, only Gu Yao was a woman among the four. When answering the question just now, many people's eyes fell on Gu Yao.

To be honest, these questions were not difficult for Gu Yao, she answered them quickly.

The storekeeper looked at the four people standing in front of him, smiled and told the answers to each question, and in the end, only Gu Yao answered all the questions correctly.

As for the other three people, some made one mistake, and some made two mistakes, and in the end they could only end up regretfully.

"Congratulations to this young lady for getting all the answers right." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Next, let the young lady come up with a question. If ten people pass the test successfully, then this lantern will belong to the young lady."

"Okay." Gu Yao laid out the paper, then picked up the writing brush on the side, and after thinking about it, finally wrote the title, "The spring rain is endless and people will go."

As soon as this topic came up, the people around were stunned.

"What word is this?"

"This is the first time I've seen this lantern riddle!"

"Does any of you know what the answer to this mystery is!"

Yi Ranchen frowned looking at the lantern riddle, what is the answer to the riddle?

"Okay, if anyone is willing, you can come to my side to guess the crossword puzzle. If you successfully guess ten questions, you can go to that lady's side."

Immediately, many people started to go to the store. Gu Yao sat on the stool Yi Ranchen found, eating the shortbread from the stall next door, smiling with satisfaction on her face!
On the other side, Qin Shufang and the others left after eating the Lantern Festival, leaving Xiao Xu alone to watch in the shop. Originally, Ding Gui stayed, but Xiao Xu asked to stay, so Ding Gui accompanied him. Zhu Yizhen went out for a walk.

As for Zhuo Qin and You Jin, the two held hands under their wide sleeves and walked towards the main street. Ever since Zhuo Qin revealed her thoughts to You Jin, the happiness index has been increasing every day rise!

"Miss, please slow down, the slaves can't keep up." Bi Tao said, looking worriedly at Liu Yueqing who was a few steps away.

Liu Yueqing stopped, and then said to Bitao, "Oh, Bitao, hurry up, I heard from Yanni that there is an octagonal glazed lantern on their booth this year, it's so beautiful."

"It was already late enough when I went out, and I didn't expect to get that lantern, but anyway, it's enjoyable for me to look at it a few times!"

Bitao sighed when she heard the words, and said, "But Miss, Miss Chen also said that those lanterns are very hard to get. It seems that the time has just been taken out, so we can take it easy."

If the young lady has any good or bad, her ass will suffer.

Liu Yueqing said 'Oh', then stomped her feet, grabbed Bitao's arm, and walked towards the Chen family's stall.

"Miss, image, image!" Bi Tao shouted hard.

Liu Yueqing simply sniffed and didn't listen, and just walked towards the booth of Chen's family. Now there is nothing more important in her heart than that lantern.

At the Chen family's booth, Gu Yao looked at the person in front of her, and said with a smile: "You are the tenth, if you can't guess, this lantern is mine."

The young man looked at Gu Yao with a flushed face, then glanced at the figure in the crowd, took a deep breath, and said, "I guess it's three."

Gu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations." Then she took out the piece of paper on which she wrote the answer, and it was impressively written that it was a three.

The boy smiled happily, and then wrote down his own puzzle, waiting for the next person to guess the question.

"Yao'er." Yi Ranchen was a little worried about Gu Yao, after all they were just a little bit close to taking down the lantern.

Gu Yao smiled, and said to Yi Ranchen, "Maybe I have no fate with that lantern." Saying that, she finally glanced at the lantern with a little regret, and then pulled Yi Ranchen out of the booth.

After the Lantern Festival, everyone started to get busy.

On this day, Yunshui Pavilion ushered in a heavyweight guest, Chen Yanni's mother, Xuanyuan Hui, the daughter of Huangshang Xuanyuan's family.

"Mrs. Chen, welcome, welcome!" After hearing that Xuanyuan Hui had arrived, Yi Ranchen hurriedly came down from the downstairs and greeted her with a smile.

After taking over Yunshui Pavilion for so long, he has already got to know all the rich ladies and wives in the county, and he is afraid of accidentally offending someone or losing an important guest.

"Are you the boss of Yunshui Pavilion?" Xuanyuan Hui asked with a puzzled face, "Didn't you say that the boss here is a little girl?" Could it be that the boss of Yunshui Pavilion changed when she went to the capital?
Yi Ranchen said with a smile: "Ma'am is right, the former boss is indeed not me, but we do not belong to Yunshui Pavilion alone."

"So that's the case!" Xuanyuan Hui smiled and nodded.

Yi Ranchen said: "Is Mrs. Chen here today to buy jewelry or to order jewelry, or is there something else?"

Xuanyuan Hui took a look at the situation in the store, and then said with a smile: "My girl ordered a set of jewelry for me in your shop last year. I think it looks good, so come and have a look."

"I see." Yi Ranchen smiled and pointed to the stairs not far away, and said, "How about, Mrs. Chen, let's talk upstairs, there are private rooms upstairs."

"Okay!"
