Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Lantern Festival

After dealing with the affairs of Jiafang Division, Ouyang Shuo returned to the study and went offline on time.

In reality, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Spring Festival holiday is about to end, and office workers have begun to work as early as the eighth day of the new year. Starting tomorrow, schools will also open one after another. Throughout the winter vacation, Bing'er had to sleep lazily every day, eating and drinking well, and her little face became fatter and cute.

Yesterday, Sun Xiaoyue called and said that she would return to Jiaozhou today and spend the Lantern Festival with them. Ouyang Shuo specially bought a lot of vegetables from the supermarket and prepared to cook a big meal in the evening.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Xiaoyue arrived home on time and brought a lot of hometown specialties. I haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally it's another pleasantry. Bing'er, the girl, is extremely attached to Sun Xiaoyue, and she gave the gift she bought at the last temple fair as if she were offering treasures, and then introduced her new playmate Xue'er to Sister Xiaoyue.

Sun Xiaoyue was very surprised when she saw Xue'er, she knew this artificial intelligence pet, and naturally knew that it was worth a lot. She turned around and glanced at Ouyang Shuo, she didn't expect this brother to be so generous. Quietly, buy such an extravagant gift.

She is becoming more and more unable to see through Ouyang Shuo, this man who does not do his job all day and knows how to play games all day long, seems to be covered with a veil of mystery, which makes people unable to see through.

When she went home this time, her grandfather, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a well-known ship design expert in the Federation, quietly mentioned the game "Earth Online" to her. When she told her grandfather what she had learned, her grandfather encouraged her to play this game, just like Ouyang Shuo. When she returned to Jiaozhou this time, she had already booked the game cabin from the Internet and would send it over tomorrow.

"Sister, why don't you ignore Bing'er?" Bing'er on the side pouted and said aggrievedly.

Sun Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, she was stunned just now, put Bing'er aside, and hurriedly coaxed: "Ah, haha, my sister was speechless in surprise when she saw Xue'er so cute." ”

"yes, hehe, Bing'er thinks the same way, it's as cute as Bing'er."

"I don't know how to praise myself like this."

"Sister~~~" The little girl immediately disagreed, threw herself into Sun Xiaoyue's arms, and twisted around.

Ouyang Shuo watched them frolicking in the living room, and thought of Song Jia for no reason. Since the class reunion on the fourth day of junior high school, he and Song Jia have still kept in touch, talking on the phone once or twice from time to time. I can't grasp Song Jia's feelings, classmates, friends or confidants? It's a mess.

After dinner, Sun Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Hey, I will also play "Earth Online" from tomorrow, is there anything you want to advise?" ”

Ouyang Shuo was taken aback, "Why did you suddenly open your mind?" Wasn't it quite resolute before! ”

"Hmph, who knows, you are all mysterious, and my grandfather suggested that I play."

"Your grandfather?"

"Yes, he is a ship design expert in the Federation, and he doesn't know where he got the news, and he didn't explain it to me, he just let me play this game, and the money for the purchase of the game cabin this time was funded by his old man." Sun Xiaoyue said with a big grin.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, so to speak, the truth behind the game has gradually infiltrated from the big forces to the medium forces. Soon, the game will welcome a large number of new players. "I told you before that this game is divided into lord mode and adventure mode, which one are you going to choose?"

Sun Xiaoyue didn't even think about it, "Of course it's the adventure mode, I can't play the lord mode you said." ”

"In the case of adventure mode, it is also divided into combat profession and life profession, do you want me to introduce it?" Regarding Sun Xiaoyue's choice, Ouyang Shuo did not interfere.

"No, I've already checked it on the forums. I don't like to fight and kill, and I'm ready to choose a career in life. But even if it's a life occupation, there are so many types that I don't know which one to choose. ”

Ouyang Shuo's heart moved, and he said quietly: "As for the life profession, I think that architects are very suitable for you, and they are also very suitable for your current major. You don't know, this game is very realistic, and the later architects will have a lot of room to play, and you can just show what you have learned. ”

"Ah, why didn't I think of it, okay, just listen to you, choose the architect. By the way, tell me your ID, and I'll contact you when I enter the game. "Sun Xiaoyue is as good as a stream.

Ouyang Shuo's face was embarrassed, and he knew that she would ask this, "Ahem, I don't know how to explain it to you now." Anyway, my ID can't tell you yet. If you trust me, set the place of birth in Dali Mansion. Anyway, now one of us is an adventure player and the other is a lord player, so there will be no intersection for the time being. When the time is right, I will give you a convincing explanation. ”

It's not that Ouyang Shuo doesn't trust Sun Xiaoyue, it's that his identity is too sensitive and he has to be cautious. In case Sun Xiaoyue inadvertently leaks his mouth, it will be a big trouble, not only him, but even Bing'er will be implicated, this is not what he wants to see.

Sun Xiaoyue's mouth pursed, and she said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't say it, don't say it, what's it, it's mysterious." ”

Ouyang Shuo was speechless, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"By the way, you don't have to worry about Bing'er, I'm not like you game freak, I won't log in to the game so early every day." Before returning to the room, Sun Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, turned around and went back to the room to log in to the game.

In the afternoon, all kinds of lanterns have been hung in the streets and alleys of Shanhai Town. The business-minded shops have launched promotional activities, hanging lanterns in front of the store, as long as the riddle is answered correctly, there will be rewards.

After dinner, Qing'er, the girl, was going to take Ouyang Shuo to enjoy the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles.

Ouyang Shuo knew that he had a few catties and taels, and guessing lantern riddles was a difficult job. In order not to make a fool of himself, he simply pulled Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing, Xu Shuda, Su Ze and Zhou Haichen as scribes.

Good lantern riddles are concentrated on the commercial street. With that simple lantern riddle, Ouyang Shuo can guess one or two. For example, what is "half of the spring and autumn, type a word", half of the spring and autumn are each taken, of course, it is a Qin character. "Half ploughing and half reading, typing a word", taking half of each of ploughing and reading, is a speaking word.

The difficulty is a little greater, like "the wind goes and comes, the geese in front of the peak are oblique, and the name of the two-word flower is played", the wind removes the remaining few, and then goes in to become a phoenix; In front of the peak is the mountain, the geese walk pictographic herringbone, the herringbone obliquely becomes a single person, and the geese in front of the peak obliquely becomes the fairy word. Therefore, the mystery is "impatiens".

"Big brother, what's the mystery?" Qing'er asked, pointing to a lantern riddle.

Ouyang Shuo looked up: splitting rocks and moving mountains, building fields and planting willows, and making a flower name. He knocked Qing'er on the head and said with a smile: "I can't guess it so simple." Split the rock up and down and remove the mountain character to leave the stone character, and the pond planting willow indicates that a field character is added under the willow, and the slight deformation is the pomegranate word, and the riddle is not the pomegranate call. ”

Qing'er realized her little head and said pitifully: "People just can't guess!" Reluctantly, he pointed to another riddle and said, "What about this?" The branches are dotted with the shadow of the waning moon, and a word is typed. ”

This is a bit difficult, Ouyang Shuo had an idea, and said with a smile: "There are no rules, how can I guess it alone, this riddle will be handed over to Mr. Su Ze." ”

Su Ze said with a smile: "The head of the branch is wood, and the dots add two dots to the head of the wooden word into a rice word, and the waning moon means that the part of the moon word is skimmed off into a bow word, and the shadow means that the bow is a double, and the combination becomes a porridge word." ”

When passing by the grocery store, a lantern riddle hanging in front of the store attracted a large number of tourists, and there was a lot of discussion, but no one guessed the riddle. At this moment, even Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing were interested.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo and his entourage, everyone consciously got out of the way, only to see the riddle written: yellow silk, young woman, grandson, mortar, play an idiom.

With Ouyang Shuo's level, it was completely foggy. On the contrary, Fan Zhongyan and Xu Shuda looked at each other and smiled, obviously having guessed the answer.

"Why don't you two write the mystery together and see if it's consistent?" Ouyang Shuo quipped.

The two nodded, took the pen and paper from the grocery store, and quickly wrote down the answer. When you look at it, both sides write "wonderful words".

Xu Shuda smiled and said, "Let me explain." Yellow silk, refers to colored silk fabrics, synthesized words, young women are girls, guess the wonderful words; The grandson, the son of his daughter, is good at guessing the words; The tabulus, that is, the utensils that hold and grind seasonings such as ginger, garlic, and leeks, receives spicy things every day, so it is a resignation. So the answer to the puzzle is a brilliant word. ”

After listening to the explanation, the surrounding tourists suddenly realized and applauded. The grocery store brought a prize in a playful way, which was a delicate shadow gauze lamp, covered with various colors of linen yarn, painted with flowers, birds, insects and fish, mountains and rivers, and decorated with golden moire decorations and various colored tassels.

Fan Xu and the others naturally did not carry a lantern to wander around the street, and finally fell into the hands of Qing'er.

When walking through the martial arts hall, Tian Wenjing also playfully guessed a lantern riddle: the two of them looked up and couldn't see the sky, and the ten women skillfully planted half an acre of land. The Eight Kings asked me how much Tian there was? There are a thousand in the earth. Hit an idiom.

Qing'er couldn't guess the lantern riddle, but she was very active in asking questions, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yangon, how to solve this riddle?" ”

Tian Wenjing said with a smile: "The two of them look up and don't see the sky is the word husband, ten women skillfully planting half an acre of land is a wife word, the eight kings asked me how much the field is a righteous word, and the last sentence has a thousand words on the soil and a field." Husband and wife are righteous, I hope that every family in the world can be like this. ”

One of the most difficult lantern riddles was prepared by Xu Shuda himself, and it was hung on the square in front of the lord's mansion: the beautiful woman pretended to be drunk and asked for help, revealing the white snow skin on her chest. Walking into the embroidery and not finding it, let him be full of wind and rain.

In the end, Fan Zhongyan guessed it, and said with a smile: "In the first sentence, the beautiful woman pretends to be drunk and asks people to help people to use homophonic derivation as a false pour, and then homophonic as Jia Island; The second sentence exposes the white snow skin on the chest and derives it into rib white, and then homophonizes it as Li Bai; The third sentence is not found in the embroidery, and the embroidery is similar to the Luo account, so the derivation is Luo Yin; The last four sentences, let him be full of wind and rain and the meaning of the rivers and lakes is to climb the waves, and then make the homophonic Pan Lang. Li Bai, Jia Dao, Luo Yin, and Pan Lang were all famous poets of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After appreciating the lanterns and guessing the lantern riddles, it was eight o'clock at night, and Ouyang Shuo hurriedly went offline.
