Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 44: Listen to the mysterious array of Yulou front lights

The chubby boss smiled embarrassingly, but it was obviously an expression of disbelief: would a 13- or 4-year-old still be afraid of losing? In addition, the two in front of them look nothing like each other. Look at the pink carvings and jade carvings of Nangong Jing girls. They are cute and smart. The boss knows this: In this flourishing age, singing and dancing are up.

It ’s just a pity for the good girls in this capital. The handsome-looking sons have gone to Longyang ...

Qi Yan retracted her gaze, her amber eyes were quiet, she didn't care what the stranger thought.

Nangong Jingnv heard Qi Yanyi's self-proclaimed humming sound first, and then thought that nothing was wrong, he was four years older than himself.

Nangong Jingnu finally selected two of Linglang's masks, shook Qi Yan's arm, and shouted sweetly along Qi Yan's words: "Brother, I want these two."

Qi Yan turned her head and saw the clear words in the eyes of Nangong Jingnv—paying money.

My heart rose with an ominous premonition, smiled at the boss, and pulled Nangong Jingnu to walk aside, Nangong Jingnu exclaimed: "Brother, you haven't bought a mask yet!"

"Buy later, I have something to tell you."

The two came to the side, Qi Yan hesitantly asked, "Her Highness ... have you got any money?"

Nangong Jingnu lowered her voice and replied, "This palace never brings money!"

Hearing that, Qi Yan took a sigh of relief: "Chen has no money."

Nangong Jingnu widened her eyes and said incredibly, "Why not?"

Qi Yan showed embarrassment: "Chen has no money ..."

"Where's your uncle?"

Qi Yan replied innocently: "The Lulu of Captain Ma is only issued on the second day of February every year. The minister had some savings in the past, but after the trial, he set up a private house in the south of the city. All the people in the house have to pay for the money and chew their head Come out of me, and do not hide that Your Highness is stretched out. Just wait for the second silver to be issued on the second day of February, and return it to the private house.

Nangong Jingnu couldn't believe her ears! Dignified and elegant, how can the Ma Mawei of the Princess Palace be so poor?

Immediately like a discouraged ball: "What then, do you want to return home?"

Qi Yan squeezed Nangong Jingnu's palms and said with a smile: "Please, Your Highness, believe me, the Lantern Festival will also be fun without money."

"What does this mean?"

"The night market will last until Tianming. Your Highness, don't rush to buy things first, you can go shopping before you go back to the house?"

Nangong Jingnui pouted: What can I buy without the money for the mask? However, he nodded and did not refute.

Looking back at the mask stall that was going away, I was a little bit grieved: I think she was so numerous in the princess ’s treasure house, gold and silver jewellery piled up into mountains, and it was enough for ordinary people to live for a while, As a result, I couldn't even afford two masks when I visited the Yuanye Market for the first time!

So sad!

The two walked forward holding hands, unfortunately, there were snack stalls on both sides of the street. The fragrance was filled with hot white smoke, accompanied by the hawker's unique and long sip, which made people covet.

In order to be able to eat more folk snacks at the night market, Nangong Jingnu deliberately left her stomach for dinner and drank only a bowl of soup. She had been hungry for half an hour after leaving.

"Sweet sugar gourds ~ two pennies, one bunch of five copper plates and three bunches ~ Bingtang gourds, Bingtang gourds ~."

Nangong Jingnv could not help but stop, the street vendor's shoulders looked at the straw pillars, which were covered with red sugar candy gourds.

Can't help but lick his lips.

"Hurry up, let's start ..."

"Listen to the Lantern Riddle of Yulou!"

Qi Yan stopped a person and asked, "Dare to ask your Excellency, where are these people in a hurry?"

"Listening to Xiongtai is not a local, right? Every year, the owner of Yulou on the first yuan festival will put out hundreds of silver patterns to put down a lantern riddle. Only one copper plate is required to enter the competition. There is a generous bounty at the end!"

"Excuse me, where is the Yulou?"

"Dongsanjie! You can just follow the crowd."

"Thank you."

Nangong Jingnv asked excitedly: "Are you going to participate?"

Qi Yan nodded: "Maybe try it."

"What about the entry?"

Qi Yan smiled and took Nangong Jingnu to the candy cane gourd stall, where a seven- or eight-year-old boy stood, looking at the candy cane on the straw pillar with a clay figure in his hands.

Qi Yan squatted in front of the boy and asked softly, "This little brother wants to buy candy gourd?"

The boy nodded, spreading his clenched hands, and there was a copper plate: "I only have one penny left after buying the clay figurine, which is not enough."

Qi Yan patted the boy's shoulder: "Brother can invite you to eat two skewers."

The boy's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really?"

"But you need to do something for your brother."

"What is it !?"

Qi Yan whispered in the boy's ear, the other party hesitantly asked, "Can the big brother really win?"

Qi Yan replied with a smile: "Doucai dare not say, the money for a few bunches of candied fruit is still OK."

The boy gritted his teeth and handed a copper plate to Qi Yan's hand: "Here!"

Nangong Jingnu snorted softly and muttered, "Even the money of the children is coaxed."

But she believed in Qi Yan's promises. And, even if he accidentally guessed the riddles, he was able to compensate the boy himself.

Nangong Jingnv took the initiative to hand over at least a couple of hands and exquisitely crafted lotus lanterns to the boy: "Well, this lantern counts as a thank-you for that penny. You are waiting here, and we will be back in a little while.

The boy took the lantern and couldn't help it, and said joyously, "Thank you brother!"

Nangong Jingnu smiled and patted the boy's head: "Don't run around."

"Ok."

Qi Yan smiled and watched the scene in front of her, and proactively reached out to Nangong Jingnv, who naturally put her hand on the palm of the other side. The two looked at each other and smiled, as the group walked towards Tingyulou.

"His Royal Highness," Qi Yan whispered.

"This palace just doesn't want the boss who sells candied fruit to think that you are a liar to coax a child!"

In front of the Yulou, people are crowded.

The rules of this lantern riddle were written in detail on the Red List. Nangong Jingnu asked: "Can you see clearly?"

Qi Yan shook her head, and Nangong Jing girl Zhu Lip lightly opened and read the rules.

There are five levels of riddles this time. Participants only need to submit a copper plate to draw a riddle from the box at random. Each person can participate only once.

The first level of lantern riddles is for single-word fans, guessing the right person can get into the array of lights. There are two uses for the light sign: one is to exchange two bronze coins and retire.

The second is to enter the lantern riddle with a light sign, and each level has a corresponding reward. The right answerer can choose to exit with the bonus of this level or continue to break through the level.

If you successfully pass the last level, you will get one hundred and twenty silver, but it is worth noting that if you answer incorrectly, you will be eliminated directly, and you will lose all the rewards you have received.

Nangong Jingnu finished reading and said with a smile, "This rule is interesting."

Qi Yan agreed: "Listening to the house of Yulou is not easy." This lantern riddle test not only talent, but also courage and control of greed.

When the two came to the question box, the copper coin was thrown into the copper basin with a crisp sound.

The man asked: "Who are the two boys?"

Qi Yan glanced at Nangong Jingnu: "I'm here."

"Please ask your son to draw a question. The riddle riddle is a one-word riddle. If you get it right, you can get two pennies by yourself, or you can participate in the riddle riddle."

"The third brother smokes for me."

"Okay." Nangong Jingnu stretched her arms into the big wooden box and took out a purple purple triangle bag. The man took the ripped paper bag and said aloud, "The mystery of this question is: Chinese Yuan Festival."

As the voice fell, Qi Yan blurted out: "Fat."

Nangong Jingnv smiled and nodded: the Mid-Yuan Festival is also called July and a half, and the moon and a half are fat.

The man also nodded: "The answer is correct. Is the son to take two copper plates, or enter the battle?"

"Enter."

"My son's surname?"

"Free your surname."

The man picked up the gavel and rang the gong. "Qi Zizi enters the battlefield with a sign."

Then the gongs and drums sounded from time to time, but more people chose to ask for two pennies.

Under the guidance of his buddies, Qi Yan entered the lantern mystery array: five elevated platforms made of wood, the highest of which is less than one foot, and various lanterns hung on the wooden fence, beautiful.

A table and a chair are placed in the center of each table, and there are five old ladies sitting on the chairs, and the bonus corresponding to each level is placed on the table.

The bonus for the first level is a hoist, and hundreds of hoists are neatly arranged in the tray. The bonus for the second level is one or two for Wen Yin, and the remaining three bonuses are: twelve, fifty two, and one hundred two.

Nangong Jingnv said doubtfully, "Such a generous bonus, aren't you afraid that you can't afford to listen to Yulou?"

A middle-aged man next to him laughed and said, "The young man can rest assured that listening to Yulou is a century-old brand in Beijing, and his financial resources are unfathomable. And this lantern riddle is not easy to break. The lantern riddle just now is just to disperse. Hi Qianqian. I visit the Lantern Riddles every Yuan Festival every year, and it has been almost ten years since no one came to the end. Almost everyone in Beijing knows that listening to Yulou's Lantern Riddles is not good. You see, there is not enough to go on stage. A hundred people are mostly outsiders who don't know it. "

Nangong Jingnv looked up: Sure enough, there weren't many people in the battle. Roughly estimated there were dozens of people. Just guessing that there were hundreds of people who said less about lantern riddles, it is indeed rare in comparison.

The middle-aged man next to him continued: "It is said that the host who listens to Yulou is a gentleman and has a good business wrist. The rules are set by him, and once he answers incorrectly, he won't get any money. Look at them: wait for the fun People from other countries have seen the first question, and they will retreat with difficulty. I wonder if anyone can reach the summit this year ... "

Nangong Jingnv looked at Qi Yan, only to see him take over the charcoal pen and paper presented by his buddy, and stood in the line waiting for the question.

With a bang, the wide-faced gong in front of the lantern riddle was sounded, and the dark crowd was quiet.

The examiner in the first level stood up slowly, and found a stack of boxy papers from his arms, spread out slowly, and shook his hands.

"Mystery is out!"

A moment later, someone in the front row exclaimed: "A piece of white paper? There is no word on this paper!"

"White paper? What's the problem?"
