In other words, he personally picked out the skirt she was wearing. He really had good taste and she liked it very much. However, the tone in which he said this was really ambiguous, so Su Wan replied in a natural manner:
"I like it very much, thanks!"
After saying that, she held up the hem of her skirt and caught up with her mother. Jiang Yu chuckled and raised his heels to follow.
The Zhengdan Lantern Festival has officially begun. The streets are decorated with lanterns and more people are beginning to gather. Rows of small lanterns are connected between the buildings on both sides of the street. Many vendors have begun to set up stalls to sell lanterns.
There is also a part of guessing lantern riddles to win lanterns, and there are all kinds of local snacks, jewelry, and beaded handkerchiefs.
Yueman Xilou also had a lucky draw this year. It was a fine langhao pen and a piece of Hui ink, worth a hundred taels.
Every year at the Zhengdan Lantern Festival, the puzzles in Yuemanxilou are the most difficult, but his family’s lottery is also the best. As soon as the puzzle is hung up, many people have gathered around.
They are all literati who come here for the Yue Man Xi Lou lottery, because if the Yue Man Xi Lou lottery can be converted into silver coins, it is not a small amount, and everyone comes here for the silver.
But there are also those who come for the things themselves, such as Su Jing. After seeing the Langhao brush and Hui ink up close, he realized that the brush and ink he had used before could not be compared with them.
He is also a scholar, so he is naturally interested in the Four Treasures of the Study, so he also joined the guessing team.
Su Wan and the others were watching the fun, and also helped solve the puzzle. Yue Manxilou posted the riddle on the red paper, with black writing on it, and the riddle was:
People with destiny have endless merits and principles, and it is rare to have merits but no luck. Why is there so much chaos in the city? Just because the numbers of yin and yang are different!
------Hit an object (The riddle is quoted from Baidu. The author still doesn't have such literary talent. It's funny, it's funny!)
At first glance, it was impossible to tell what kind of object this riddle was, but soon many people began to answer the questions. They guessed almost everything that could be guessed, such as Go, brushes, and chopsticks, but no one guessed it. arrive.
In the entire Su family, Su Jing is the most educated. The others can only read and calculate at most, but their knowledge is far inferior to that of Su Jing.
Although Su Wan is a college student, she is also very good at solving riddles. If you want her to play homophonic jokes, she is better at it.
Su Jing was deep in thought, frowning, and everyone was waiting for his answer and nervous for him.
On the contrary, Jiang Yu, who was standing next to Su Wan, looked calm and composed, as if he had already analyzed the answer. There was no other way, he was the one who asked the question, and he was still looking forward to Su Jing's answer.
Amidst the noise of a group of people, Su Jing's brows gradually loosened:
"The answer is, abacus?"
As soon as he spoke, the crowd next to him silently looked at him in tacit agreement. Seeing that he was a handsome young man, everyone looked at the shopkeeper above him.
Shopkeeper Luo smiled heartily and looked at Su Jing:
"I didn't expect that this year's riddle was solved so quickly. Young Master is very quick in thinking. The answer to this year's riddle is indeed abacus!"
As soon as the correct answer was announced, some people were happy and some were worried. Su Wan excitedly transformed into Su Jing's little fan girl, pulling his sleeves, and was so happy:
"Brother, you are so smart!"
The Su family was very excited because they actually won a lottery worth a hundred taels of silver. They were very lucky!
But those who came here for the good fortune lamented over and over again in defeat, blaming themselves for being so slow to react.
With helpless eyes, he watched Shopkeeper Luo hand over this year's prize to Su Jing.
"Congratulations, Mr. Su!"
Su Jing liked the Langhao brush and Hui ink very much, so she took it with both hands:
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Luo!"
The people in the West Tower gradually dispersed and went to other places to win lottery tickets. Any well-established merchants in the state capital would offer lottery tickets.
Everyone in the Su family followed the flow of people and walked forward. The children saw everything fresh. Su Yun walked at the front. He was wearing a light blue robe, with his sleeves tied up and a high ponytail. He was a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old who was full of high spirits.
Su Yi is wearing a dark blue robe, just like his temperament, calm, gentle, and not revealing.
The third brother, Su Chen, was wearing black. When Jiang Yu chose clothes for him, he really didn't know what color suited him, so he chose this black suit later.
Su Chen has a very low-key character. He doesn't like liveliness and always follows behind quietly. Colors that are too ostentatious are not suitable for him. On the contrary, black is the most suitable.
There is a pot-throwing game on the street. If you hit three arrows in a row, you can choose a bead flower you like, but every arrow you throw costs one penny.
Many people are eager to try it, but the results are not satisfactory. The young men all want to choose the bead flowers they like for the girls they like, but they don't have the skills.
Su Chen helped Su Yun work and saved ten taels of wages. He bought fifty arrows at once and started throwing pots to win the pearl flowers for Su Wan.
He pulled Su Wan to the stall, pointed at the dazzling array of beads and flowers on the tray, and said boldly:
"Wan Wan, if you like that one, tell Third Brother, and Third Brother will win it for you!"
Su Wan liked it so much that a boss like Third Brother spoke, so she nodded vigorously. After all, Third Brother was a martial arts master, so this kind of game was too much for him.
The price of each of those beaded flowers ranges from a dozen to several dozen renminbi. Some of the styles are quite elegant and beautiful, and some are very suitable for Su Mu.
Su Wan observed three seconds of silence for his boss, and then waited for the third brother to clear the place.
Su Chen made hundreds of hits, and every stick hit the middle pot, which attracted cheers from the people around him. Su Wan's hand was soon filled with pearl flowers. If he couldn't hold any more, he asked Su's mother to pick them.
The boss's face became increasingly ugly. If Su Chen was allowed to continue, he would die. So when Su Chen was about to add another fifty arrows, he called a stop in time:
"Master, our upper limit here is fifty arrows, do you think?"
It was obvious what she meant. Su Chen looked at Su Wan and asked her what she meant. Su Wan smiled and nodded. She had won so much anyway, so she might as well leave some pants for others and keep a thin line in her life. Good to see you in the future!
The brother and sister gave up throwing pot and ran away with the spoils. The boss even broke into a sweat in the middle of winter.
The other brothers were all guessing riddles in other places to win lanterns. They planned to win a lantern each, and then take it to the lake and put it in the lake to make wishes.
Su Mu walked towards him, holding an exquisite rabbit lantern in his hand, and brought it directly to Su Wan:
"for you!"
This rabbit lantern is for ornamental purposes, and the thing placed in the water is a lotus lantern. After a while, Su Yun also ran over holding a lotus lantern, humming:
"Su Wan, look, do you like the lotus lantern I won for you?"
