Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 262 The Lantern Festival Is Captive (4)
Covered by the monkey mask, Qingli couldn't see Li Moxuan's expression, but could feel that he was excited. He had always been very knowledgeable, and when he was about to leave the house, his father prepared a few unusual lantern riddles for him to guess, and he hit every hit.

"Brother Xuanzi, Zixi wants a rabbit lantern, and Dongwa wants a monkey, so tell me not to forget it!"

Qingli took Li Moxuan to the front. Many stalls could guess lantern riddles. She wanted to find a stall with the most beautiful lanterns.

"Boss, how much is the mouse's lantern?"

A big man wearing a satin jacket stood in front of Qingli and the others, covering several lanterns on the booth. This man was not a scholar at first glance, but he should be from a wealthy family, so he spoke very boldly.

"Two taels of silver for one cup."

"Okay, I'll buy that mouse."

Qingli sighed in her heart, it's really expensive, even if you can afford it, the common people will not buy such a thing, it can't be eaten or worn, but there are many literati guessing crossword puzzles in front of the booth, some three times I haven't guessed it right yet, and for fear of losing face, I will spend money to continue guessing.

The answer to the riddle is not so easy to guess. Sure enough, Qingli thought it was very simple at first, and was worried that these merchants would lose money. It seems that no business is not cheating. A lantern can cost up to a hundred yuan, and it can be sold for a sky-high price of two taels.

"Third brother, Brother Xuanzi, the rabbit lamp over there is the most exquisite. How about his house?"

Qingli circled around the various stalls, one of which made the best animals, the boss was a kind-hearted middle-aged man, he smiled very elegantly, and he didn't solicit business, he would only say a few words when someone came to the door.

"Boss, let's guess the lantern riddles, let's guess the rabbit and the monkey!"

The third brother, Mo Zisong, squeezed to the front and gestured to the stall owner. Seeing that there were many Mo family members, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.The problem of this booth is the most difficult. Many people have been frustrated and left with a sigh.

"No problem, whoever guesses, take a step forward."

The boss smiled and untied a kit bag hanging from the monkey's lamp, and then opened the small note inside, waiting to solve the puzzle.

"I'll come first, if I can't, Xuanzi, you will succeed."

The third elder brother Mo Zisong is still a little humble at this time, but he boasted that Haikou will definitely win a lamp back. The monkey’s lamp is not as delicate as the rabbit’s. It stands to reason that the puzzle is not too difficult. skillful.

"Please listen to the question. There are five guests in a narrow room. Type three words."

After the boss told the lantern riddles, many people around fell into a state of thinking. Everyone touched their chins, thinking hard, and the third brother Mo Zisong also touched his head and made habitual movements.

"I see!"

Mo Zisong had a flash of inspiration, because he saw Qingli's feet move, and the people around him also raised their heads, urging, "Quickly tell me, what is the answer?"

"Wear small shoes, boss, don't you?"

Mo Zisong's expression was determined, just now it was thanks to his little sister, she must have done it unintentionally, she just read characters, not good enough to guess lantern riddles, he thought about it, but didn't take it to heart.

In fact, after the boss finished reading the lantern riddles, Qingli guessed them. She hadn't guessed these before, but she had just played brain teasers in modern times, and she was at a loss as to how she could guess them.

"Yes, congratulations, scholar, you have a bright future, and this monkey lamp is for you."

The boss took down the monkey's lamp from behind and handed it to Mo Zisong himself. The people around looked envious and immediately burst into praise.

"The bunny below is more difficult, and there are multiple answers to the riddle, do you still have to guess?"

After seeing Li Moxuan's firm nod, the boss slowly untied the bag on the rabbit lamp, "Ren Ding, (type two idioms)"

Originally, the question was not too simple, and there were many answers to the riddle. Many people simply gave up and looked at Li Moxuan who was thinking deeply. The answer appeared in Qingli's mind, which distracted her a bit. She should have never seen such a Book it, how did you know it again?

"The answer to the riddle is to fight hard. If you write it off, or if you say it, there is a lot to do!"

"Yes, tell me how you guessed it?"

This is basically a very difficult puzzle. The shopkeeper was very happy to see someone figured it out, and the people around him also waited for the answer with their ears open.

Using the derogation method, the answer is "a big fight, a write-off."Interpretation means that the word "打" is out of the hand to get "Ding", and the word "Da" is canceled to get "人" together to get the riddle of "Ren Ding".But if the supplementary method is used, the answer is "if you take a bite, you can do a lot."Interpretation: If the word "Yikou" appears on the riddle "Ren Ding", "Yi" and "Ren" form "Da", "Kou" and "Ding" become "Ke", that is, "Ren Ding" becomes "Day", which is closely related to the answer.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Many people around applauded and booed Li Moxuan to guess another one. He turned his head and asked Qingli, "Little sister, do you still have the lamp you like?"

"Brother Xuanzi, we have enough lanterns. We still have to watch the dragon lantern and lion dance. It's inconvenient to carry it. Let's guess the lantern riddles when we get back."

Li Moxuan felt that it made sense, so he declined the boss's kindness, thanked him politely, and then everyone went to the crowd in front.

The front is very lively, blowing and beating, there are a few giants on stilts, walking as steadily as on flat ground, and jumping a few times from time to time, making Qingli sweat.

"Look, look, the dragon lantern is here!"

"Mom, let's go watch the dragon lantern dance!"

"Dong dong dong, dong dong ding" a burst of rapid and enthusiastic gongs, drums and firecrackers sounded in front of the crowd, a group of people held thousands of scales and armor in their hands, their spirits were high, and the dragon lantern came from the street in a mighty manner. The giant dragon is chasing the red orb, soaring and jumping, sometimes towering, as if flying into the clouds, and then lowering, like breaking waves in the sea, winding and moving, it is really beautiful.

The dragon dance team changed styles as they walked, performing movements such as "two dragons playing with pearls", "two dragons out of water", "fire dragon soaring", "coiling dragons making trouble in the sea", etc. Pedestrians on the street flocked to watch the lanterns. Shi pulled the youngest Qingli and her cousin Mo Qingju, and asked them to follow closely so as not to be scattered by the crowd.

Many babies were riding on their father's necks, clapping their hands and laughing, and talking to their father intimately from time to time. There were applause from the crowd, which brought the atmosphere of the whole lantern festival to its climax.

Many people walked forward with the pace of the dragon dance team, followed by the lion dance team, one lion was two people, followed by several big lions, swaying to the rhythm of the drums, the two people cooperated tacitly, From time to time, you can roll on the ground, performing a lion rolling a hydrangea.
