Chapter 238 Guessing Lantern Riddles

All the women on the street were attracted to it at once, wanting to see if anyone would buy this luxurious lantern and if they could answer the lantern riddles correctly.

If you don’t guess correctly, it won’t be a big loss if you just take the huge dragon boat incense rice dumpling lantern.

　　Where have the Dalang brothers and sisters who have always lived in the countryside seen colorful and sparkling lanterns?

Having just finished eating, her energy has been replenished, and she looks at Qin Yao eagerly, "Auntie, let's go take a look too?!"

Qin Yao nodded, and the four brothers and sister happily let out a "Woo!" and raised their legs to run.

But the two older ones did not forget to hold the younger one each.

Dalang and Erlang also wanted to hug him, but when they looked back at Dad, who looked miserable, he shook his head and chose to squeeze to the front of the crowd.

 Liu Ji helplessly rubbed his daughter's little head, "Okay, daddy will guess first."

 【Neither firewood, rice, oil nor salt】

 Seeing this mystery, the family of six was confused.

The colors of various lamp types are also different, and they are dotted with exquisite lanterns such as osmanthus lanterns, lotus lanterns, and beauty palace lanterns. When lit together, they are very beautiful.

As he said that, he smiled at the four brothers and sisters, as if his father would definitely be more generous than his mother if he was rich.

The lantern is made of a dragon boat, which is almost one-to-one in size. There are various kinds of rice dumplings stacked on the boat, including square, pillow-shaped, triangular, and rhombus-shaped rice dumplings. This is it.

 “Dad, you guess first.” Siniang said expectantly.

Si Niang couldn't wait to unfold her riddle, and immediately sighed "Alas" and started another word puzzle.

  【Remember half, forget half】

 “Hahaha, idiot, you can’t even guess this!” Liu Ji laughed hahaha! Danger, danger, let's stop.

The store owner smiled and was about to get it. Erlang quickly asked: "How much does a plum blossom cost?"

Si Niang said very generously: "Second brother, use my money to buy one for my mother-in-law. I want the plum blossom one. It will look really good on my mother-in-law."

Liu Ji frowned suspiciously, what do you mean? You won’t buy four lanterns?

"Daddy!" Erlang tugged on his daddy's sleeve, but he accidentally pulled too hard. Liu Ji felt a stinging pain on his arm, and immediately took a breath, gritted his teeth and asked, "Fuck! What! What!" !”

 Siniang’s big eyes blinked, she was already stunned.

Dalang and Erlang took the ten-cent lanterns, and they guessed correctly one after another. Sanlang chose the twenty-cent lantern, but was unlucky and failed to guess the word.

The little girl looked at Liu Ji with a look of anticipation: "Dad, please choose another one."

 Luxury headlights are just for fun, but small lights are for fun.

 The store owner laughed and said, "Wrong, it's a taboo."

“Twenty cents.” The shopkeeper said with a smile, “It’s not expensive. If you guess the lantern riddle, you can also choose rouge and wooden hairpins.”

She also needs to save more money to buy rouge and jewelry for her grandma. Ten cents for her dad is already a lot!

The shopkeeper saw that she was so cute, so he happily chose two lanterns for her and handed them to her without caring about the little girl's changes.

Si Niang was happy and asked her second brother to deduct fifty cents for her.

 Liu Ji: Wow, oh, that little cotton-padded jacket is so considerate.

When Si Niang saw the store owner shaking his head, she said anxiously: "Daddy, you idiot, it's a butterfly!"

Under the curious gazes of the father and son, Qin Yao took out the puzzle and said to herself, "Guess the word."

So, under Liu Ji's envious and jealous eyes, the four brothers and sisters held hands and surrounded Qin Yao to a nearby shop with a small number of people. Each of them bought a lantern and prepared to guess lantern riddles.

 The adults were following behind and watching, not worried about getting lost.

 “Pfft~” Qin Yao laughed unceremoniously.

Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao dissatisfied, "Madam, don't just laugh at me, look at what your lantern riddle is?"

My own little cotton jacket, even if it is hot, I have to wear it!

  Mother and son all looked over, and Liu Ji took out the puzzle from the bamboo tube.

They have pocket money every month, fifty cash per person, and they have some left over every month. Now each of them has saved almost a hundred cash.

Qin Yao withdrew her sword eyes and looked at the four Dalang brothers and sisters gently, "Come here."

Liu Ji weakly came forward and said, "Xiao Si Niang, can you buy one for my father? It's the rose one."

Qin Yao made a random guess. The shopkeeper shook his head and told her that the correct answer was the word "sin".

 As a result, Erlang patted his chest and whispered: "Aniang gave us the money a long time ago."

 One is crescent-shaped. It cannot be said to be simple, but it can only be said to be very perfunctory.

Being short, Sanlang and Siniang couldn't really see anything. They were anxious to look around, looking for a wooden stake or a stone pier or something to stand on.

Si Niang was so frightened that she waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, then I don't want it, I just want one worth ten cents."

With a little help from Qin Yao, a family of six successfully arrived at the front and saw the full view of the dragon boat fragrant rice dumpling lanterns.

 Liu Ji was excited. He knew the answer - it was the word "taboo".

Siniang agreed immediately, "Okay."

 The best is the cheapest. The little girl's big eyes flickered as she looked at him. Liu Ji thought, well, something is better than nothing, so he said, "Then I also want a plum blossom one, just like the lady."

Seeing the longing expressions on the faces of the four brothers and sisters, Liu Ji coughed twice, successfully attracting the attention of his wife, and stretched out his hand without fear of death, "Um, the children finally came here, it's not too much for each person to guess one lamp, right?" ?”

Si Niang said anxiously: "Uncle of the store, please give me the cheapest one, just a plum blossom one."

There were not many people there just now, but now a family of six has gathered there, and many more people have come to watch the fun.

 Liu Ji and his son also briefly forgot the unpleasantness that had just happened in the dark alley and were immersed in this unique classical romance.

On the contrary, the riddles for the ten-penny lanterns are relatively simple, and they involve guessing a lot of things.

 Qin Yao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, making Liu Ji sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly explained: "I have no money, otherwise I will definitely provide the money for the children to play."

 One is plum blossom, and the workmanship is more exquisite.

The more expensive the lantern, the more expensive the prize, and the more difficult the puzzle.

In the end, Qin Yao picked one up in one hand, and then the dragon and phoenix twins saw the ultra-luxury dragon boat fragrant rice dumpling lantern in front of them.

Qin Yao looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Siniang asked the shopkeeper how much the rose lanterns cost, and the shopkeeper said, "Thirty cents."

“It’s so big!” Sanlang looked up in surprise at the three-meter-high dragon boat fragrant rice dumpling lantern, feeling like he could sit on it.

"Two hairs on the head, wearing a colorful robe, flying among the flowers, happy and carefree." Liu Ji thought for a moment and looked at the store uncertainly, "Is it a bee?"

She and her mother had the same plum blossom lantern, and she handed her father, who couldn’t laugh, a moon lantern.

Unfortunately, the father and daughter did not have telepathy. The old father's eyes almost twitched. The little fourth lady scratched her head and suddenly said: "Chicken?"

 Siniang and Dad looked at each other and sighed.

However, Dalang and Erlang guessed correctly. Each of them could choose a prize, so it didn't mean that the whole army was wiped out.
