Li Yi stopped abruptly, and the little maid wanted to catch up with him quickly, but she couldn't catch up with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I rubbed my chest in pain, and when I looked up, I found that my uncle turned his head and looked in the direction of the crowd.

"One hundred taels?"

The number that Li Yi muttered in his mouth, if he heard it correctly just now, the two people who were talking on the periphery of the crowd had just said these three words.

For the current Li Yi, anything related to money is a sensitive word, and from a distance of a few feet, it is impossible to escape his ears.

He didn't plan to watch the excitement, but immediately walked quickly towards the crowd.

"Dare to ask the two brothers, I don't know what happened here, why are you all gathered here?" Li Yi first gave a peer salute to the two who spoke just now, and then asked with a smile.

The two were chatting happily, and were interrupted by others, and they were naturally unhappy in their hearts, but when they turned their heads and saw that they seemed to be also reading people standing in front of them, the displeasure on their faces immediately disappeared, and one of them replied with a smile: "Brother Tai doesn't know, several poetry clubs in Qing'an Mansion today, in this drunken incense building, use poetry to discuss the superiority, and the winner can participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting held tomorrow...... I'm afraid that it won't be long before a good work will be circulated. ”

Li Yi's dress is like a scholar, no matter how you look at it, perhaps for this reason, the two men in Confucian shirts also have a very enthusiastic attitude towards him.

What kind of poetry club and poetry club, Li Yi is not interested at all, this benevolent brother talked for a long time, but still did not get to the point, Li Yi decided to remind him a little.

With a smile on his face, he pretended to ask casually, "The two brothers just said a hundred taels of silver......

"Oh, the one hundred taels of silver are the lottery heads of this competition, and they will be given to the winning poetry club at the end." The other was stunned for a moment, then explained.

For those of them who read, the focus should be on this poetry competition, money is something outside the body, and this hundred taels of silver is not the focus of their attention.

Scholars should regard money as dung.

However, as a pseudo-reader, this is the focus of Li Yi's attention.

One hundred taels of silver, if you win, you can take it away, so that the rent of the shop will not be settled soon?

This one hundred taels of silver is clearly tailor-made for himself.

"Thank you, brothers!" Li Yi smiled and arched his hand to the two, and then glanced at the little maid standing behind him: "Xiaohuan, let's go in!" “

Xiaohuan nodded, and followed behind Li Yi, looking like I would be where my uncle was.

"Brother Tai stays!"

Li Yigang took two steps, and suddenly a voice came from behind him.

He turned his head and looked at the young scholar just now suspiciously, "What else is going on with Brother Tai?" ”

"I wonder if there is an invitation card in Brother Tai?"

"Invitations?"

The expression on Li Yi's face froze, "What invitation?" ”

The young scholar explained: "The Zuixiang Building has been chartered today, and we can only enter with an invitation, so we will be turned away. ”

"So, we can't go in?" Li Yi said with a disappointed face.

It was as if he saw a hundred taels of silver in his hand, and it flew out of his bosom again.

"Not really." The scholar pointed ahead and said, "You can enter without an invitation, but you need to guess the riddle that came out of them." ”

Looking at the way this benevolent brother spoke slowly, Li Yi was a little depressed in his heart, his mother-in-law and mother are not like a man, if she has something to say, she will finish it quickly, and only say half a sentence at a time, it is easy for others to misunderstand......

"In that case, then guess the riddle and go in."

Guessing riddles is such a thing, Li Yike has played since he was a child, and he doesn't know how much more experience than these ancients, so he doesn't need to cheat at all.

The two of them glanced at each other, and said with a wry smile: "These riddles are all unsolved problems during last year's Shangyuan Festival, if it is so easy to guess, I will not wait outside the door." ”

"Guess it or not, just try it." Li Yi smiled and took Xiaohuan's hand and walked to the front.

At the front of the crowd, the crowd was arguing around several red lanterns, the bottom of which hung a white strip of cloth with a riddle written on it.

"The white snake crosses the river, and there is a red sun on his head."

Li Yi looked at the strip of cloth under the lantern, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he had already scolded in his heart.

What kind of puzzle is this, there are no hints, and it doesn't say it's an anagram or guessing something, how do people guess?

Isn't this deliberately embarrassing!

Some people on the side guessed that the riddle was "boat", and some people guessed "Dan", but the little guy standing on the side did not react, obviously they guessed not the correct riddle.

Li Yi originally wanted to guess the riddle with his ingenuity, but now he can't count on it, and honest cheating is the right way.

As soon as my mind moved, a thick encyclopedia of ancient and modern lantern riddles came to mind.

Li Yi still doesn't believe it, this book is as thick as an encyclopedic dictionary, and there will be no broken riddles.

Search according to the first word, "white", "snake" ......, "white snake crosses the river, a round of red sun on the head", found it!

It was only a dozen seconds of effort, and a smile appeared on Li Yi's face.

waved to the little guy, and when he came over, he smiled and said, "The white snake crosses the river, and there is a red sun on his head." The riddle of this lantern riddle is the "oil lamp". ”

The surrounding crowd was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became in an uproar.

"What kind of oil lamp, even if you are blind, you have to be blind."

"Yes, what does the White Snake, the Red Sun have to do with the oil lamp!"

"If you're blindsided, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"

------

------

A few people said very unkindly, and they racked their brains for so long and didn't guess correctly, what kind of fun are you a newcomer to make a fuss about.

"Childe Dacai, the answer to this lantern riddle is the oil lamp." The little guy was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he immediately bowed down and said.

"What!"

"I guessed it right!"

"Why oil lamps?"

"I see!"

"The wick is the white snake, the flame of the lamp...... Isn't that the red sun! ”

------

------

The riddle of this lantern riddle is actually very common, but because there is no hint, the range of guesses is too wide, if there is no inspiration, it is difficult to think of the oil lamp.

And when Li Yi said the riddle, someone soon figured it out, it turned out that the riddle was so simple, many people suddenly beat their chests, and sighed in their hearts that this scholar was lucky, but also very regretful, why didn't they think of this link just now.

The two scholars who were talking to Li Yi just now looked at this scene with some dumbfounded, it was hard to imagine that he really guessed it!

"Can I go in now?" Li Yi looked at the little guy and asked.

"Childe, please!"

The little guy hurriedly stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture.

Li Yi beckoned to the girl behind him: "Xiaohuan, let's go in." ”

The little maid nodded immediately, my uncle is so amazing, I even guessed the lantern riddles that so many people can't guess, Xiaohuan sees the oil lamp every night, and I don't think of it!

The lovely smile was on his face, and when he was about to follow Li Yi in, the little guy quickly chased after him, stopped in front of the two, and said with a difficult face: "Childe, you can only go in alone." ”

"Why?" Li Yi looked at him and frowned and asked.

When Xiaohuan heard this, he immediately tightened the corner of Li Yi's clothes with some worry...... Xiaohuan shouldn't be separated from his uncle.

"Because Childe only solved a lantern riddle, according to our rules, you can only go in alone." The little guy patiently explained.
