Chapter 677
A group of six people quietly left the East Palace, all dressed as people from well-to-do families.So it didn't attract much attention.

They were strolling towards Zhuque Street, where all kinds of lanterns were placed everywhere, all the way bright and colorful, very beautiful.

"So beautiful!"

Li Lizhi sighed in admiration, she stayed in the deep palace all year round and could not go out of the palace gate.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian took her out of the palace today. She looked around the outside world, full of curiosity, and felt that everything was new.

"Brother, I want that lantern. It looks so good!"

Li Lizhi pointed at a fish lantern, unable to move her footsteps.

But Cheng Chumo volunteered and said: "It's easy to handle, it's up to me."

After that, I will go to get that lantern for Li Lizhi.

But before he could make a move, he was stopped.

"My little brother, if you want to get the lantern, you have to guess the lantern riddle first, and then hand in ten papers, and the lantern will belong to you!"

Everyone took a look, and it turned out to be a middle-aged boss.

He pointed to the crossword puzzle under the lantern and said.

"It's not that difficult, I'll give you a hundred coins, how about taking this lantern?"

Isn't it just a matter of money?

"Sorry brother, this has to be done according to the rules. Even a thousand dollars will not work!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, the boss is still a bit pursuing in business.Everything must be done according to the rules.

Then it's not about money.

"Is there another one like this? Why don't I do it! My literary talent is worse than yours."

Fang Yizhi was one step ahead.

Cheng Chumo was unhappy and said: "Old Fang, I will do it first, let me guess first."

It's quite a look of wanting to express.

Li Chengqian just looked at them quietly, thinking, would Du Gou and Yuchi Baolin also want to join?

Sure enough, the other two joined in.

It made him shake his head involuntarily.

I can't compare to a girl?
You sexless fellows.

At the same time, she glanced at Li Lizhi again, her eyes were full of urgency.

It seems that she really wants that lantern.

And the four of them were in a hurry to express themselves, causing Li Chengqian to shake his head all the time.

Cheng Chumo stepped forward, pulled the note, and said softly: "Set wine and kill chickens to welcome the guests! Guess the word."

If he hadn't learned several months of books from Li Chengqian, he might not even understand these words.

But even though he knew all these words, he couldn't guess them.

But he saw his ears turn red.

Thinking hard, anxious and anxious.

Seeing this, Fang Yi pulled him away.

"Let me do it, you go!"

But when he looked at the note.

At the same time, he fell into deep thought.

"You are so weak, let me do it!"

Unexpectedly, after Du Gou saw it, his face froze instantly.

It seems that he can't do it either.

Yuchi Baolin also wanted to show off, but he was uneducated, he was good at beating people, but how could he guess the anagrams?

He could only look at the note and fall into deep thought.

This made Li Lizhi on the side very anxious.

"Brother, I want that lantern!"

Seeing the urgency in Li Lizhi's eyes, Li Chengqian's heart softened.

"Okay, okay, let big brother get it down for you."

But the shop owner said: "Brothers, I think you can guess other ones, which will be less difficult. This is too difficult for you!"

The owner is kind enough to remind.

"No, let's just guess this!"

But Li Chengqian said.

When he came forward, the Fourth Young Master of the capital was dumbfounded and dared not say anything.

Originally, he wanted to show off in front of Li Lizhi, but now it seems unnecessary.

"Set up wine and kill chickens to welcome guests."

Li Chengqian looked at the crossword puzzle written on the note.

smiled.

"You guys can't guess such a simple crossword puzzle? How can I teach you in vain?!"

The owner of the store asked, "So, little brother, do you understand what it means?"

"That's right, this character is for 'Bin'! Can it be deciphered?"

The owner of the store must be sure, and then said: "That's right, how did you know the word 'Bin'?"

Their voices quickly attracted many passers-by.

They stopped, on the one hand because they were attracted by Li Lizhi, and on the other hand they wanted to see Li Chengqian's crossword puzzle.

Some people also see from beginning to end.

What Li Chengqian said just now surprised the shop owner.

"You must know that no one has been able to solve this crossword puzzle for two days. I didn't expect you to solve it. Excuse me, how did you solve it?"

His words once again attracted people's attention.

No one has solved it for two days?

The flow of people here is very large, if there are not a thousand people, there are a hundred or eight people, and there is no answer?

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's very simple. The chicken and the earthly branch "you" are intertwined. After the "wine" kills the "chicken", the remaining "jiu" is left; the "ke" and "guest" are synonymously intertwined; Words. I don’t know, am I right?”

The owner clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! This lantern belongs to you."

After finishing, the shopkeeper passed the lantern to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi was so happy that she was about to jump up.

The face of the Fourth Young Master in Beijing was dull.But who let them not understand?This is still to blame for my lack of culture.

"Shopkeeper, here is ten Wen, please take it."

The shopkeeper took the money.

Then suddenly someone called out.

"Young master, can you solve a riddle for me?"

It turned out that among the crowd was a young boy, holding a lantern in his hands, and a little girl was following him.

"Oh? Why?"

"My younger sister likes this lotus lantern very much, but I don't read much, so I can't figure it out..."

The boy said so.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but Li Lizhi said: "My elder brother is amazing, he will help you solve it!"

Li Chengqian:  …

I've heard of cheating fathers, but I haven't heard of cheating brothers.I made a living for myself.

That's okay, just help him solve it.

"Bring it!"

After finishing, the boy gave the note to Li Chengqian.

I saw the three words written on this note.

"99"

Everyone also heard it, 99?

Guess a word?
What word is that?

All of a sudden it stumped everyone.

The people present said there were at least five or sixty people, and everyone scratched their heads and scratched their backs, but couldn't think of what the word was.

This is too refined, right?Still a number, how to solve it?
Everyone is also thinking hard, but their brains are not enough.

The boss was watching Li Chengqian, wondering what he was thinking.

But Li Chengqian said: "This word is very simple."

Simple?
Everyone is puzzled.

Someone asked: "What word is that!"

"White! White white!"

"Why?"

Why is it white?

What is the relationship between Bai and 99?

Everyone was very puzzled, but the shop owner smiled and nodded.

It seemed that Li Chengqian was right again.

The little sister took the boy's hand and asked:
"Brother, is he right?"

"Yes!"

"Great! I have lanterns."

Seeing that the little girl was very happy, and the boy's posture was very low, he asked, "Brother, can you explain?"

He is also very curious. Like him, the people around him are even more eager. They also want to know why?
