After dinner, everyone went back to take a rest.

When night fell, everyone set off again, because it was the Lantern Festival, so the road was not quiet, and everyone walked on the road in groups of three and four.There is a folk saying that if you walk around the Lantern Festival, you will not get sick for a year.

"There is a Lantern Festival in the Old Man's Town God's Temple, should we go and see it?" Yan Wu walked beside Old Man Yan and asked respectfully.

"Do you want to go?" Old Master Yan looked at Qi Yuanyuan and the others.

"Go!" Qi Yuanyuan answered without thinking.She has seen many introductions about ancient people visiting lantern festivals and guessing lantern riddles, and she is very interested in this, so how could she miss such an opportunity.

When everyone arrived at the Town God's Temple, there were already quite a few people in the square, old and young, men and women, people dressed as scholars in long gowns, ordinary people in coarse cloth and short clothes, and some frowning and frowning people. Miao, an elegant and generous lady from a rich family, and of course a small businessman with sharp movements and a loud voice.

Qi Yuanyuan and others walked into the crowd, walked along the edge of the square, looked at the stalls one by one, and bought some if they were interested, and everyone came to have a taste. Filled with her.

"Little sister, there are opera singers over there, let's go and have a look." Qi Hairui pointed to a stage in front of the stage and said, at this time there were several martial arts students standing in the center singing sonorously, attracting onlookers from time to time People applauded and applauded, and some people directly paid for it.

"Second brother, you go, I want to go over there to see the lanterns." Qi Yuanyuan said, pointing to a row of double-layered wooden shelves not far away.In her impression, Lantern Festival lanterns should be hung all over the street, but she didn't want to just hang them on a two-meter-high and 50-meter-long two-story wooden shelf.Although it was not as beautiful as imagined, it did not affect Qi Yuanyuan's good mood.

"Yan Wu, take Hai Rui and the others to see it, let's go there for a walk!" Old Master Yan ordered.

"Yes." Yan Wu bowed and led Qi Hairui and the others towards the stage. The only ones left were Old Master Yan, Imperial Physician Hu, Hu Hao and Qi Yuanyuan.Qi Haicheng actually wanted to go and have a look, but he couldn't worry about his younger brothers, so he had to go along.

There are dozens of exquisite lanterns hanging on the shelf, including revolving horse lanterns, dice lanterns, round lanterns, knife-off lanterns, rabbit lanterns... Qi Yuanyuan walked towards one of them without even thinking about it. piggy.

"Miss, do you like this lantern?" A young scholar dressed in a blue shirt and dressed as a scholar asked softly with a smile on his lips.

"Well, it's pretty." Qi Yuanyuan nodded slightly.

"It's simple. Miss just needs to guess the lantern riddles above, and she can also take away the money in the red envelope." The young scholar introduced with a smile.

It was only then that Qi Yuanyuan noticed that there were a few words written on the lantern. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it at all. It was just the pattern that came with the lantern.

"After the Lantern Festival, willow sprouts (play an idiom)." Qi Yuanyuan softly read the riddle on the lantern, and fell into deep thought after reading.

After a long silence, Hu Hao spoke first, "This is so difficult, Master, have you guessed it?"

"Master doesn't dare to be interested in this children's game." Imperial Physician Hu stroked the beard on his chin and said with his head held high.

"You are a barefoot doctor, it's not shameful if you can't guess it." Old Mrs. Yan deliberately exposed it.

"I figured it out." Doctor Hu was about to refute, when Qi Yuanyuan finished her contemplation and said.

"Miss, please speak." The young scholar's attitude was very respectful.

"Big problems, right?" Qi Yuanyuan said with a smile, her eyes shining brightly.

"Yes, yes! Miss is really smart, I'll take off the lantern for you right now." The young scholar nodded repeatedly, quickly took off the little pig lantern on the wooden stand, handed both hands to Qi Yuanyuan, and then Handed her a small purse.

"Thank you, brother." Qi Yuanyuan thanked with a smile, and continued to walk forward, reading the riddles written on the lanterns while walking.

"Girl, don't you guess?" Old Master Yan asked.

"No hurry, let's see first." Qi Yuanyuan replied, she felt that the lantern riddles here were still a bit difficult, so she wanted to find those who liked to guess.

"Sister, I want that little rabbit." When Qi Yuanyuan hadn't made up his mind, Guoguo trotted over and said anxiously.

"Which one?" Qi Yuanyuan asked while holding the lantern in one hand and holding Guoguo in the other.

"It's over there! Sister, hurry up, someone else will snatch her away." Guoguo pulled Qi Yuanyuan and walked back.

"Sister is this!" Guoguo pointed to a rabbit lamp and said.

"Guoguo, don't worry, sister come and take a look." Qi Yuanyuan handed the piggy lantern in his hand to Qi Haicheng who was beside him, and walked closer to carefully read the words written on the rabbit lantern.

"Miss, I can't see clearly. I can read it to you." A familiar voice came, and Qi Yuanyuan looked up and saw that it was the young scholar from before. She was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face, and just smiled at him. , Said: "Then trouble brother."

"Listen up, miss. This riddle is very simple. There is only one word, 'Huang', the emperor of the crown. The answer to the riddle is a four-character idiom." After making it clear, the voices of discussion suddenly came to mind.

It coincided with the year of the county examination, and many scholars were studying hard at home. Therefore, compared with the theater and juggling performances, there were not many people around the lantern stand.

Qi Yuanyuan spent a little longer thinking about it this time than last time, just when everyone thought she couldn't guess the answer, she opened her mouth and said crisply: "Bai Yu Wu Xia, little brother, are you right this time? "

"Yes, miss, wait a moment, I'll get a stool." Xiao Er walked towards the back of the shelf after speaking, and came back with a stool after a while.

"Miss, please keep this!" The young scholar respectfully handed over the lantern and red envelope.

Qi Yuanyuan took the lantern and handed it to Guoguo, then looked up at the young scholar and asked, "Brother, all the lanterns here belong to your family?"

"It was organized by our academy." The young scholar replied.

"Academy? What academy?" Qi Yuanyuan asked in confusion.

"It's Boya Academy. Our academy is responsible for the annual lantern activities in the town." The young scholar replied in a deep voice. His academy has organized lantern riddles here for several consecutive years and gave rich rewards, but the lantern riddles that are solved every year But there are only a few.That's why he paid extra attention to Qi Yuanyuan who solved the lantern riddles.

"Brother, can I ask you something?" Qi Yuanyuan asked with a smile

"Miss, please tell me." The young scholar said politely.

"When will your college start recruiting new students, and what are the age requirements?" Qi Yuanyuan asked softly.
