Chapter 58 A master at guessing lantern riddles
The lantern festival is held on the two largest streets in the county. In Xichun, I only saw lanterns of various colors hanging on both sides of the street. There were also many vendors hanging exquisite lanterns. They were crowded with tourists. It had not been so lively in many years.

"Wow, is this a lantern festival? It's so beautiful. These lanterns are so beautiful. They must be expensive, right?" Even though Taozi is a boy, he also likes these various lanterns. If he buys one, he will definitely be welcomed by his friends. .

"These lanterns can be obtained in two ways, one is to buy them with money, and the other is to guess the lantern riddles correctly. The more lantern riddles you guess correctly, the more rewards you will get." Fu Changfeng already knew about the lantern festival. In this way, I have long thought about showing off my skills so that Xi Chun can know how smart he is.

"It can still be like this, then let's go see if we can get the lantern." Xichun was also playful and cheerful.

However, a few people encountered difficulties when they arrived at a stall. Because Qiangzi was illiterate, Xichun finally recognized all the traditional Chinese characters. Unfortunately, these were all complicated poems, which made people confused.

"What does this mean? I don't even know the words. It seems that I can't get the lantern today." Taozi looked left and right, but he couldn't understand what was written on it.

"Bamboos were used as railings and wood as walls, and only the pigs were kept, not the sheep. Three boys came to catch the pigs, and the pigs were so frightened that they bumped into each other." After Xichun finished reading all the words, his eyes lit up and he was about to express his guess.

"I know what it is, Miss Chen, do you want to know?" Fu Changfeng saw her staring at the lantern riddle and stepped forward and said.

"I also know what it is, so let's talk about it together and see if the answers are the same?" what.

"It's an abacus." The two of them said at the same time, but Taozi didn't have an expression of sudden realization. After all, he had never been exposed to this thing himself and didn't even know how to use it.

"Miss Chen, you are really good. Storekeeper, we have guessed this. Is there any reward?" Fu Changfeng thought that Xichun liked this lantern.

"You have to guess at least three lantern riddles before you can choose one here." The store owner also said with a smile.

"What if you want the big one?" Xichun asked, pointing to the big lantern behind him.

"You need to answer twenty lantern riddles correctly to get this. If you can't answer it, you can only buy it for fifty cents." As long as they are willing to answer, they can increase their popularity. If they can't answer it, they might just buy it. Got this lantern.

"Miss Chen, don't worry, I'll guess." Fu Changfeng was eager to give it a try, thinking about the lantern riddle in front of him, and soon gave the answer.

Many people gathered around when they heard the scene here, and many people couldn't figure it out after looking at the riddle, but they suddenly understood after hearing Fu Changfeng's answer.

Xichun watched him reveal the answers to the riddles that he had not guessed for a long time, and he admired him in his heart.

"Wow, it's nineteen, young master. If you guess one more, you can get the lantern." Zhu Nian looked at his young master like stars.

"Yes, that's great. Storekeeper, if we guess it correctly later, your lantern will be ours." Xichun also said happily.

"Okay, okay, okay, I didn't expect you guys to be so good. Oops, you made a mistake." The boss has actually made a lot of money, because many of the people Fu Changfeng and the others have attracted are children. Children, when they see you, Not everyone is as powerful as this young master.

"The answer to the last one is fresh, fresh fish and sheep." As soon as Fu Changfeng finished speaking, everyone around him clapped.

"So that's it. What I said is hairy on one side and light on the other."

"Okay, okay, little old man, my biggest lantern today has been taken away by a few people. Come on, take it." Fortunately, the boss kept his promise and handed the lantern to Fu Changfeng, but Fu Changfeng gave it to Xi Chun. "You guessed it yourself. Just take it. It's too valuable. I'll go to other places and guess it later." Xichun shook his head and did not accept it.

"This is what I gave to Miss Chen. It doesn't cost anything anyway, so just take it. I don't like these things." Fu Changfeng insisted on giving it to her.

On the street, Xichun couldn't keep pushing it around, so she just took it and went to another store to guess riddles. The shopkeeper just now took out a beautiful lantern from under the stall after waiting for the people to leave.

"Taozi, your brother isn't going to propose marriage tomorrow. I think it's better to get him a lantern too. These styles look pretty good." Xichun said to Taozi who was already carrying a new lantern. This was Xichun's help in guessing the riddle. owned.

"Okay, my future sister-in-law will definitely like it." Taozi was already very playful, and Fu Changfeng also accompanied the two of them. They didn't stop until each of them had several lanterns in their hands.

"Miss Chen, Tao Zi, you guys come and play too, there are so many lanterns, you are so awesome." An Wuji and Guo Xuewei were setting up a stall nearby. There were still a lot of people at this time, and their business was also good.

"Yes, you should hurry up and get busy. We will go back in a while, so you should go back early." Xichun saw that they were busy and did not continue to disturb them.

The four of them took the lanterns and returned to the stall. At this time, there were still people coming to buy fried chicken. Xichun also washed his hands and continued working.

"Miss Chen, let's go back first. You can keep these lanterns for your own use." Fu Changfeng took Zhu Nian and prepared to go back.

"Thank you, Master Fu. This is some food. You can also take it back and try it as a snack." This is the special pepper-flavored crispy pork for Xichun.

"OK, then we'll go first."

Aunt Zhang heard that one of the lanterns was left for Qiangzi to give to the woman, and she happily thanked Xichun.

"Changfeng, I heard that you stole the show at the lantern festival today, or did you go out with a girl?" Fu Changfeng had just returned home, and his eldest brother was sitting in the front hall.

"Brother, did you go too? Why didn't I see you?" Fu Changfeng didn't want his family to know about Xichun, so he thought about changing the topic.

"Don't interrupt me. Which family does that girl belong to? You need to know your identity. Don't find someone who doesn't belong to the right family. You will suffer in the future." Apparently, Fu Changfeng's eldest brother had inquired about him. of.

"Brother, what does it mean to have a poor family? Our family only has a little more land than ordinary families. I think it is suitable. Don't do that to me. I don't like it."

"But you don't want to think about whether you can pass the test with your grandfather. Our family is a commoner and we are not valued in the family. That's why dad brought us here to live. The whole family is looking forward to you getting a good name and becoming famous in the future. You must remember not to spoil your parents’ wishes because of their love for their children.”

"Brother, I don't care about fame. You are also studying, and you can do well in it. Your parents should put their hope in you."

"Hey, anyway, you should think about it carefully. If your parents know about it, they will definitely stop you." Of course Fu Changjin knows what kind of bad temper his brother has. At the moment, he is just trying to persuade him. In fact, he hopes more than anyone else that he can protect his family. , let my brother grow up so carefree.
