Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

"Waiter, how much is the first and second floor?"

"Miss, look at that lamp, how beautiful it is!" This was the voice of a maid. After she said this, she glanced at Li An from time to time with the eyes of a lady.

The twisting range of the waist is getting bigger and bigger!

"Hiss! Be gentle!"

In response to Li Ang, he turned around and snorted coldly, feeling unwelcome.

There are so many people, this scene is really exciting! Our Mr. Li An likes it very much! The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!

At this time, other vendors shouted loudly: "Ladies, do you want to buy a lantern? Buy a lantern during the Lantern Festival and give it to your sweetheart. I guarantee that your wishes will come true!" The shouting of several vendors made many unmarried women on the street excited and they became restless.

Many people bought a few without hesitation after asking the price.

After a while, almost everyone had one or two lanterns. After asking around, I found out that the lanterns on the bottom layer cost ten taels of silver each, while those on the second layer cost twenty taels of silver each!

I consider myself a dishonest businessman. I calculate the reward based on my mood, and there is no market price or anything like that. But I didn't expect that you are even more dishonest than me!

What shape is this lantern? Is it made of silver? How dare you sell it at such a high price? However, many wealthy ladies present were very happy to buy it and fell into beautiful fantasies.

It’s still easier to make money from women!

"Is this a Pisces lamp? And this one, this one, looks like a mandarin duck!" A woman exclaimed with a look of joy on her face, obviously she liked it very much.

How could the vendor not hear the echo of money? He immediately replied: "These mandarin duck and double fish shapes were made by the master lamp maker at our small building. There are only a few left. They are inspired by the story of mutual support. Buying them as gifts for your loved ones is a sure win! Thirty taels!"

Why don't you go rob people! You're selling a wooden frame covered with colored paper for such a high price?

Then I saw the woman happily paying the bill.

Got it!

I underestimated the purchasing power of women in Beijing!

I’m not very good at writing about love stories, so please bear with me and subscribe to support me!

Chapter 167 Lantern Festival .

Li Ang's robe was also tightened, and he slowly lowered his head. Zhan Doudou's hands almost tore the robe into pieces!

"Don't pull it, I picked it up, didn't I?"

I was thinking of guessing a few lantern riddles, but now I have them. It seems I have to buy some first. Didn't you see that everyone else has one or two lanterns in their hands, but Zhan Doudou has nothing in his hands?

Helplessly, he turned around and asked the seller, "How much is the largest lamp on the second floor?"

"Fifty taels!"

A certain unscrupulous businessman raised the price.

Someone gritted his teeth and bought it.

Zhan Doudou took the lamp with a blushing face, her face full of shyness, but she still covered her mouth and said teasingly: "My Mr. Li, you are also one of the richest people in the world today, why do you still feel sorry for these fifty taels?"

"I don't feel sorry for this profiteer." Li Ang couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He did make a lot of money, and it was easy for him. But he never lived a wasteful life. He saved all the money he earned for lottery draws. I never saw him spend it.

The main reason is that in the previous life, I didn’t have the habit of spending money lavishly. This is the trouble of the poor. Even if I have money, I don’t know how to spend it.

Li An sighed softly, then became cheerful again: "Which one do you like? I'll buy you another one."

"No." Zhan Doudou shook her head and said, "We still have to guess lantern riddles later. If there are more than two of us, we won't be able to solve them all." Obviously, she has confidence in herself and Li An. To be more precise, she has full confidence in Li An.

Li An said with a smile: "Those are for putting in your hands, but there is also a kind of writing wishes and putting them in the sky, are you sure you don't want it?"

Zhan Doudou did not answer, but turned her head away proudly, her meaning was self-evident.

Li An bought another lantern similar to the Kongming lantern, and took the ink pen handed over by the vendor. He gently pulled the girl and said, "Come on, what are you waiting for? There will be a lotus-shaped one later. Let's go and put it in the river."

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she snorted coldly, "This is what you want to buy, not what I want!"

"Yes, yes, it's all I wanted."

Zhan Doudou blushed, walked to the square table in front of the stall, and began to write. On it was the poem that Fan Xian recited at the Southern Dynasty banquet: I wish to be a pair of wings in the sky.

After carefully blowing it dry, she handed the brush to Li Ang.

Understand in seconds!

The master-level calligraphy combined with Doudou's beautiful handwriting wrote: We will be forever tied together on the ground.

The candle was lit, hot steam rose, and the light burned for a while. Then, the "Kongming Lantern" slowly rose into the sky with the good wishes of the two people. One after another, many colorful lanterns were flying in the sky.

When a vendor nearby saw Zhan Doudou's expression and the luxurious clothes made of unusual fabrics on her body, and then looked at Li An who was wearing ordinary clothes, he had already imagined a series of scenes in his mind about a lady from a noble family falling in love with a poor scholar.

His eyes rolled, and he realized that the opportunity was not to be missed. He grabbed a red rope and wrapped it around Zhan Doudou and Li An's feet, acting as the matchmaker.

Under the shell of defense and camouflage that Zhan Doudou had worn for many years, there was a soft heart that was intoxicated by the lanterns filled with starry sky. The peddler's behavior undoubtedly made her heart pound. She secretly glanced at Li Ang, then quickly turned her head away, her heart filled with excitement and happiness.

After tying up the girl, the peddler stared at Li An with his small eyes. This was a big customer. Don't look at his gnashing teeth when he paid the fifty taels just now. As long as he caught this lady and put in the effort, he would have no worries about the money!

Well, you are awesome!

Li An was willing at this time, secretly said good assist, and asked: "How much silver?"

"What, silver?" The vendor responded, "Yes, yes, silver. Five taels of silver is a great deal!"

Well, I did something stupid. I usually spend less money, but I always spend money, which led to the misunderstanding today. This red string doesn't cost much money, it's just the lucky money that the vendor asked for. When I asked how much money it was, I was ripped off again.

Li An paid the bill. Seeing Zhan Doudou's surprised expression, he could not help but gently scratch her waist with his hand. Her waist twisted restlessly. He whispered in her ear, "How dare you make fun of your husband? This is a small punishment. Let the vendor be proud first, and then he will take all the lanterns when you guess the riddle!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" Zhan Doudou couldn't bear it anymore. Her legs were weak. She was afraid that others would notice something was wrong. She couldn't break free and quickly begged Li An, "Can you please stop scratching me?"

Seeing the mist in the girl's eyes, Li An couldn't help but feel a little funny. He had never seen an emperor like this before. He quickly took out his phone and took a few photos of Zhan Doudou. After that, the two of them leaned against each other and took a few selfies together. Zhan Doudou let go of her hand that was teasing her waist. As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she was attracted by the black chip in front of her.

"What is this? Why are our faces so clear!!"

It was as if her soul had been taken away by Li An and locked in that chip. Zhan Doudou thought so. Then she realized that this must be what her mother had told her about the temple in private when no one was around. She looked at Li An. Was he really closely related to the temple?

"This is a record. You can think of it as a painting. It will record this moment forever!"

"really?"

"Really, more real than real gold!"

Zhan Doudou was inexplicably happy. She could record the beauty and scene forever. It was worthy of being a temple item! She looked at the screen of her mobile phone carefully, wondering if her face was so red.

Became shy again.

I will never forget the feeling I have today. I feel like I am happier than in the past 19 years.

She had forgotten all the important affairs of the court and the fairyland palace.

At this moment, she was slack.

"Gentlemen, look this way!" a vendor shouted.

"The lanterns on the first and second floors are almost all sold out. The next step is to guess lantern riddles!"

"Let's start solving the puzzle from the bottom up, first come first served!"

His words attracted everyone's attention, even some young ladies looked over with excitement. Seeing this, some young men and scholars who were interested in her were also ready to do their best to get the beauty they wanted!

"Let's get started!"

"Let me see what tricks you have."

"You, you always come up with something new!"

"Ms. Tian, ​​I will win the top lantern for you!"

The whole place was excited. Seeing that the place was already heated, the vendor smiled smugly, thinking that the riddle was not simple, but the shopkeeper had inquired about it from many sources and used it as a gimmick. How could you really win? You know, the lanterns on the top cannot be compared with the lanterns on the lower two floors in terms of workmanship or materials. Although the lanterns below are also expensive, if all the ones on the top are given away, it will be a loss for the grandma's family, not to mention the huge Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern on the top.

I couldn't help but admire the shopkeeper's foresight.

What if the other person is the shopkeeper while you are still a waiter?

high! It’s really high!

Chapter 168 Lantern Festival .

Li An and Zhan Doudou looked up at the lotus lantern on the top, standing quietly, looking at each other tacitly amid the noise of the crowd, and smiled softly after a moment.

"Come on, Master Li. Remember to do something not too excessive if you lose, okay?"

"Haha, this is natural!"

Win and cry!

The young man saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and prepared, so he did not dare to delay and revealed the first riddle.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This first riddle is not difficult. It is the beginning. Please listen carefully: a small jar filled with dumplings. Eat the dumplings and spit out the beads."

"Hit a fruit!"

This riddle was simple. Li An was not in a hurry. He just teased Zhan Doudou, "Why, can you guess it?"

Zhan Doudou was still thinking, and after a while he had the answer. Seeing Li An's smiling face, he thought that he was really quick-witted and that he was still a little slow. The two of them said the answer to Orange at the same time, and the servant handed over a beautiful lantern with a smile. This was a good start.

Afterwards, he used this to stir up the emotions of the whole audience, making everyone even more excited.

"This sentence is considered a draw."

"Hmph, I will definitely be faster than you next time!" Zhan Doudou said unconvincedly, which was considered a way out.

The boy then gave the second riddle: It is hard to fly with two wings, and it is both a garment and a house. It is better to let the water blow it into the sea than let the sun dry the house.

This time it’s guess an animal.

While everyone was still pondering, Li An blurted out: "Clam!"

"What stick?" Zhan Doudou had just asked when he saw the servant replying with a smile on his face.

"Young master is very smart, the answer is really clam! Here, please take it, it's just that good things come in pairs!" After that, the second lantern fell into Li An's hands.

When everyone in the field saw that the two lanterns in front were obtained by this person, they couldn't help but become anxious.

"I'm telling you, can you do it, you little dog? With your talent, you still want to woo me?"

"No, I, this, hey!"

"Master Zhang, try harder, look how fast the other masters are!"

"Hey! Miss Wang, what you said is wrong. How can a man be so fast? It's not right! It's not right!"

"Mr. Huang, I want that lamp!"

"Xiao'e, I had a stomachache just now, so I'm not doing well. Just wait and see what happens next!"

Li An's face was full of black lines, still thinking about how a man could be so quick and even want to kill someone!

Am I fast? Am I fast?

Don’t talk nonsense if you haven’t tried it, or you’ll cry slowly!

When Zhan Doudou saw Li Ang’s unhappy expression, he thought of something and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Li An reminded: "I'm ahead!"

Zhan Doudou then regained his composure and prepared himself for battle.

Next, the servant asked riddles one after another, and Li An and Zhan Doudou gave the answers one after another. The lanterns in front of them were almost full.

Although the boy still had a smile on his face, now it was just a bitter smile.

It’s over, it’s over. The shopkeeper is as scary as the editor. I’m afraid he’s going to kill me this time!

He had no choice but to muster up his energy and continue asking questions, but the situation did not improve. Instead, the two men's spoils increased and piled up like a mountain.

The third layer is almost done, and the next is the fourth layer and the highest lantern!

Everyone looked at the two with different expressions, some excited, some admiring, some envious, and some angry.

While everyone was hesitating, a young man in fancy clothes stepped out, followed by several friends of the same status and several followers. The young man, who was the leader, was very handsome and unrestrained. When he saw Zhan Doudou's appearance, his eyes lit up. He clapped his folding fan, smiled in his most handsome way and said, "This girl has an extraordinary face, beautiful and gorgeous. She is not only heroic and graceful, but also talented and extraordinary! I wonder if you can tell me her name?"

He had completely ignored Li Ang standing beside him.

It's not that he is rude and arrogant, it's just that he has the confidence to do so. His name is Zhu Wenlong, the only son of the Minister of Justice in the court, and the identities of several of his friends behind him are similar, all of them are sons of ministers in the court, and the playboys of the yamen in the capital.

He naturally has the ability to ignore others.

Besides, there are no people of status wandering around the streets today; most of them have entered the palace to attend the imperial banquet.
