Xu He and his group stopped and immediately attracted many people to watch.
The female relatives all had curtains and hats, and they were protected by a group of martial artists from Xu Mansion, so there was no risk that others would take advantage of them.
Although the boss's rouge and gouache were quite poor, the lantern riddles all hung on the colorful lanterns still looked very cute.
Xu He turned to the female relatives and said, "Every time you answer a question, I will ask my mother to give you a seal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was eager to give it a try.
Even Juan'er and Yatou, who were illiterate, raised their heads and looked at the small lanterns expectantly.
Xu He turned to Sister Gu and whispered: "Madam, please come first?"
When Sister Gu heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, but she said: "What nonsense are you talking about..."
Women are all animals that don't mean what they say. As she spoke, Sister Gu had already picked up a blue note under a lantern and read it.
The note said Cheng Menlixue, and the answer was two words.
Ma Yushu took a closer look and frowned: "This riddle is a bit difficult!"
The boss said proudly: "Of course, all the riddles here are asked by Qi Xiucai from Zhouzhuang. Qi Xiucai is the most talented scholar in Hailing County besides Xu Sanyuan!"
After the boss finished speaking, everyone in the Xu family looked at each other and looked at Xu He.
Xu He touched his nose, okay, now he has made a name for himself in Hailing.
Returning to the lantern riddle, Sister Gu wrinkled her cute nose. After thinking for a moment, she whispered to Xu He, "The answer to the riddle is [Meeting Masters]!"
Xu He smiled and told Sister Gu's answer to the riddle. The boss felt pain in his heart. He took out a small copper hairpin from the basket and handed it to Xu He and said, "Your wife is very powerful!"
Xu He smiled and handed the copper hairpin to Sister Gu. Sister Gu played with the worthless hairpin like a little girl and couldn't put it down.
Ma Yushu was so envious that he came closer and asked, "Meisheng, why is the answer to this riddle "Meeting Masters"?"
Sister Gu said: "You should know the story of Cheng Menlixue. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Shi and You Zuo studied under Cheng Shengren [Cheng Yi]. Once they went to see the teacher, Cheng Yi sat with his eyes closed, and the two of them Not daring to be alarmed, he stood outside the door and waited. It was snowing heavily, and when Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside the door was already more than a foot thick!"
This is a short story about respecting teachers. Obviously, Yang You and Yang You were standing outside in the snow waiting to meet the teacher. Isn't this "meeting teachers"?
When Ma Yushu heard this, he felt happy and envious at the same time. He clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "Meisheng, you are so awesome!"
Sister Gu was of course a little happy in her heart, but she kept pouting and pretending to be happy, which made Xu He almost burst into laughter when he saw it!
Unexpectedly, Sister Gu, who is as light as a chrysanthemum, has the vanity of a little woman.
At this time, the girl urged: "Sir, it's your turn, hurry up!"
Xu He smiled and stretched out his hand, and also chose a blue riddle. After turning it over, he found that it was [Teachable Children], and he still guessed the answer to the two-word riddle!
It turned out that the blue riddles were all idiom riddles. Sister Gu came over to look at the riddles and smiled: "Liangsheng, have you guessed it? Do you want my help?"
Xu He said with a smile: "I don't dare to work for the first time."
Xu He put his hands behind his hands and said to the boss: "The answer is [exaggeration]! Right? Uncle!"
When the boss heard this, the wrinkles on New Year's Day's face deepened a few times. He nodded with a sullen expression and said, "Young Master is also a scholar, right? You guessed it so quickly?"
The people watching around laughed loudly when they saw this.
It turns out that at this stall, if you guess a riddle, you will get a prize, but if you don't guess correctly, you will be given money.
And it’s still ten cents a time.
This boss came to set up a stall early in the morning and made a lot of money. This was the first time he was given two gifts in a row. Does that make him feel better?
At this time, the boss gritted his teeth and said: "I think the young master and his wife are both well-educated people. Would you like to try our red riddle!"
Xu He asked curiously: "Is there any difference in this pink mystery?"
The boss said: "Of course the difficulty is higher than the blue puzzle, but the objects you get are better than the blue puzzle!"
Xu He turned to look at everyone.
Juan'er and Yatou, the two masters who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, clapped their hands and said, "Sir, you give it a try!"
Well, if you try and die, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you can't answer it?
However, the eyes around her were all intense, and Sister Gu next to her was also eager to give it a try.
How could Xu He say at this time: "I can't do it?"
Men can't say they can't do it.
superior!
This time Xu He chose first: "[Children and daughters share the same towel], type one word!"
hiss……
It is indeed difficult!
Xu He is very familiar with Wang Bo's poem, but if he wants to guess the answer to the riddle, he has to work hard on the riddle. If he foolishly combines the whole poem to find the answer, he will fall into the boss's trap. .
After figuring it out, Xu He carefully pondered the mystery, but still couldn't figure it out.
The people around him all held their breath, waiting for this little brother to give the answer.
But after the boss saw Xu He's frown, a smile appeared on his face: "How about it? Master, how about changing it to another one?"
If you change the riddle, you have to pay ten cents.
Ten coins is a small matter, but Sister Gu is here, do you still need face?
At this time, Gu Hengbo also advised: "Liangsheng, this puzzle is so difficult, let's change it to another one!"
Xu He motioned her to calm down. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the boss with a smile: "Uncle, is the answer to this riddle the character [Yao]?"
quiet……
The boss's smile froze on his face, and the people around him stared at his half-open mouth, waiting for his answer.
The boss shook his head and took out a piece of paper, looked at Xu He, and then looked at the answer to the riddle on the paper.
Xu He smiled in an easy-going and calm manner, but in the eyes of his boss, it was extremely dazzling.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, and finally reluctantly took out a slightly delicate gouache box and handed it to Xu He.
Xu He handed it to Sister Gu.
Sister Gu was so happy about this, she took it in her hand and rubbed it, she couldn't put it down, which made the young ladies and young daughters-in-law who were watching around so jealous that they wished they could have such a powerful and loving husband in their place.
Xu He saw that Sister Gu liked it, so he asked again: "Meisheng, do you want to make another guess?"
When the boss heard what Xu He said, his face turned green.
Fortunately, Gu Hengbo said: "I can't guess such a difficult riddle. Let's let Sister Ma, Juan'er and Yatou try it!"
Gu Hengbo's words not only took care of Xu He's face, but also gave the other three people a sense of participation. The most important thing was that the boss heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing this.
Xu He knew what Sister Gu was thinking, smiled slightly at her, and stepped aside to let the girls guess.
Yatou and Juaner couldn't read, but they managed to guess a few simple words with Xu He's help. In the end, everyone guessed some small things, and the boss finally turned a profit.
Happy first day of the new year to all!
