After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

160 The Lantern Festival 2
"Master, where are we going now?"

Gu Wanning withdrew her thoughts and looked forward, "Go along the street, let's go watch a sideshow."

Her voice was a little loud, there was no way, the street was too noisy, so she couldn't hear her clearly.

Many businesses on the side of the road have lantern riddles guessing activities, and the business in the restaurant is very good, and the customers are constantly coming.

When Gu Wanning saw snacks, she would buy some. If there were jugglers, she would give some silver coins. There were also lion dancers and dragon lanterns. Watching them was a lot of fun.

"Outside the door of Qi's house, there is another lamp grab. If you want to participate, hurry up. Those who grab the glazed lamp will not only get ten taels of silver, but also enjoy a free meal in Qi's restaurant for free. "

"Qi's Restaurant really gives our people benefits every year. That's ten taels of silver, and there is a big meal. I want to try it too!"

Hongmei said: "Master, let's go and have a look."

Gu Wanning gave her an appreciative look, if there is excitement, it's not for nothing, Hongmei really won the heart of her master!

"Okay, it's up to you, hurry up and lead the way."

Hongmei nodded knowingly, and then she and Chunlan walked forward by Gu Wanning's side.

Soon, they found the door of Qi's house, which was mentioned by passers-by. Outside the gate was a wooden frame as high as three to four feet. Colorful ribbons and various small lanterns were tied on the wooden frame. At the top was a huge Red gilded lanterns.

If you want to climb to the top, it doesn't matter if you have fast speed and agility, you also need to untie the fans on the lanterns. Of course, this can be done together.

The person who climbs the shelf tells the lantern riddles after grabbing the lanterns. As long as his friends and even passers-by give the correct answers, he can continue to climb until he gets nine correct lantern riddles.

I have to say that being able to climb to the top is also a large part of luck.

If the lantern riddles are too difficult, or if your friends are too weak to solve the lantern riddles, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Gu Wanning encouraged Hongmei, "Don't you want to try it? At least I will give you back ten taels of silver."

Hongmei was unmoved at all: "The task of the servant is to protect the safety of the master, and the servant is not short of money.

Also, before leaving the palace, the Lord specially called the slaves over and told them not to leave the master for half a step. As long as he protects you and goes back safely, he will reward you a lot. "

In fact, she doesn't need Ye Hanyu to ask her to protect her master, because this is her job. The reason why Hongmei said this so plainly is to let the master know that the prince still cares about the master, well, it's that simple.

A lady in front shouted: "Ah Hong, you can sign up later. I heard that those who get the glazed lantern will have a happy marriage. This lady wants that glazed lantern."

"It's Miss."

Gu Wanning glanced to the front right, because the female voice sounded familiar, and then, she really saw a familiar beautiful face.

It's Miss Qi Qi Xi'er.

The light shone on her head, and it shone brightly. She was afraid that others would not see her. The pearls on her head almost blinded her eyes.

The tall and burly man named A Hong looked like he should be the guard of Duke Cheng'en's mansion.

Qi Xi'er may have sensed that someone was looking at her, and she also looked in Gu Wanning's direction, but what she saw were a few masks, she could only turn her head and look at the shelf in front again.

The light-grabbing game started soon. There were at least 80 people participating in the competition. Under the shelf, people from three floors inside and three floors outside were surrounded. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, those people started fighting below, and soon a sensitive figure stood out. After a tight siege, he rushed to the first lantern, and that person was Qi Xi'er's entourage, the guard named A Hong.

Ah Hong is already reading lantern riddles: Second Miss.

Qi Xi'er waved her hands excitedly, "It's Zi, it's Zi. The second lady is the second daughter, and the second daughter is Zi."

Ah Hong shouted: "It's Zi."

The host of the Qi family shouted: "The answer is correct."

Ah Hong continued to climb up. Everyone had to answer nine lantern riddles to get the glazed lantern, but there were no more than 30 lanterns on the big flower stand. The limited lanterns are robbed by others, if there are less than nine, it is useless even if you run to the top.

Ah Hong had just picked up the second lantern, and several people below grabbed the first lantern. Qi Xier, the bedridden lady, guessed lantern riddles without any pressure, and soon Ah Hong picked it up. The eighth lantern: the river in front of the window is full of spring (type the name of a Chinese medicine)
Qi Xi'er stood under the shelf and thought about it for a while, but she couldn't figure it out. She thought she had heard it wrong, so she asked Ah Hong to read it again. All the lanterns had been taken away, and he couldn't even change a lantern.

Fortunately, Qi Xi'er had been bedridden for such a long time and had some understanding of medicinal materials and finally thought of the answer: "It's Kongqing."

Following Ah Hong's answer to Shang Kongqing, the other three also reached out to the ninth lamp, but there was only one lamp left, so the four of them grabbed it on the shelf.

The spectators below started booing, it is really nothing serious to watch the excitement, even the big girls and daughters-in-law shouted, and there was a lot of excitement around.

There is no weak person who can stand out from the crowd. Now the four people on the lampstand are all talented. The four people were grabbing a piece of wood and suddenly they were kicked to pieces. The crowd watching the excitement shouted Let the person on the shelf be careful.

Ahong took the opportunity to take two steps up, and saw that one hand had already touched the lantern, but his arm was pulled back. When he pulled his arm back forcefully, the whole shelf suddenly shook, and the people on the shelf were caught. Everyone was so frightened that they hugged the wood tightly, for fear that they would fall from the height, but at this moment a big hand stretched out suddenly, and the ninth lantern was taken away.

Moreover, the other party did not read out the lantern riddle, but directly reported the answer, "The answer is close to the water."

The lantern riddle on the lamp is Wangjiang Pavilion.

The head of the Qi family didn't know what expression to give to the person who grabbed the ninth lantern, "This strong man, you got the answer right, come down quickly, safety first."

The servants of Qi's family had already surrounded the frame, fearing that the people on it would fall off, and the other three saw that there was nothing to argue about, so they all got off the frame carefully.

All the spectators breathed a sigh of relief, and they also sweated for the people who snatched the lanterns. If they fell from a height of three or four feet, wouldn't they break their arms and legs?

Luck almost lost his life.

The man who successfully snatched the last lantern got a reward of ten taels of silver when he landed. In addition, all the nine lanterns and glazed lanterns he solved the mystery belonged to him, and he had a good meal for nothing. the table!
