Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 82
Tan Peizhi snorted coldly, he had made that lantern riddle on purpose.Unexpectedly, this Qi Tianxiang was clever enough to let a maid break the original meaning.With a cold snort, Tan Peizhi said in a deep voice: "Miss Qi's maid has answered the riddle, so next, will Miss Qi teach me a lantern riddle for Ben Hou to guess?"

After a pause, Tan Peizhi didn't wait for Tianxiang's answer, and pressed on step by step: "If the Marquis answers your riddle, what will Miss Qi offer as a prize?"

Tianxiang was furious when she heard the words, this person is really shameless!To say so brazenly, thinking that she would take out something as a prize!Just wait, it will make you cry in a while and you won't be able to guess the answer!Originally, Tianxiang wanted to be an upright and honest gentleman, but the shameless person was too shameless, so she could only deal with him in the same way!
Fortunately, among the books left by my mother, there is a book dedicated to interesting lantern riddles!

"Mr. Tan Hou is so confident, then I'll show my shame!" Tianxiang raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said leisurely: "The crescent moon in the painting stays for thousands of years. The two parties are dating in the old Longxi. There is a lovely girl who caresses with her hands, heavy pink and thick fat Don't be shy!" After a pause, Tianxiang said with a half-smile: "Oh right, it's the same four-character guess!"

As soon as these words came out, Tan Peizhi's expression changed wildly.He made up that lantern riddle on purpose just now, because he wanted Tian Xiang, the unmarried daughter, to say those four words, which would definitely damage her boudoir's reputation in the future.It's just that she was clever enough to guess his intention and let a servant give the answer!

In this way, he not only answered the riddle, but also deciphered the meaning of the word by using the maid's name.He was undoubtedly fetching water from a bamboo basket in vain, and when he was angry in his heart, he thought that with his own talents and arrogance, it would not be difficult to get his lantern riddles!But what he didn't expect was that this Qi Tianxiang came up with such a difficult puzzle!

Looking at Qi Tianxiang coldly, Tan Peizhi said unwillingly: "Miss Qi, is there really a four-word puzzle in these four sentences?"

Qi Tianxiang originally thought that Tan Peizhi could almost guess these four words, but he is so conceited that he would never say it out to humiliate himself.Unexpectedly, he didn't guess it!Tianxiang was even more contemptuous in her heart, and said with a contemptuous smile on her face: "Naturally, it is a four-word answer, and it is commonly used. If Tan Houye admits defeat, I will announce the answer. However, Tan Houye's so-called lottery can be there is none left!"

As soon as Tianxiang said this, Tan Peizhi was stunned and speechless.

Tianxiang didn't pay attention to him any more, let him look depressed, turned to the peddler and said, "Boss, please excuse me, take down those lanterns." After finishing speaking, he handed over the two silver coins before, and added another ingot Gold ingot.

When the peddler saw it, he immediately went to get the lantern happily.It's rare that this girl gave enough money, so why not do it?

Tan Peizhi was unwilling, but in public, if he lost to Tianxiang, he would lose.So no matter how much he concealed it, he knew it would be useless.So he simply put on a self-righteous chic, fanned the wind, and said through gritted teeth: "Qi Tianxiang, you memorized it for Benhou, I will definitely think of the answer to this lantern riddle! Benhou won't lose like this! "

After finishing speaking, Tan Peizhi turned around and left angrily.Seeing this, all the onlookers spontaneously made way for this noble young master to leave.Otherwise, Tan Houye, who is becoming angry from embarrassment at this moment, will inevitably bring his anger on himself. He is a relative of the emperor, and ordinary people will not be able to bear his anger by then.

Seeing the back of Tan Peizhi going away, everyone couldn't help being speechless.It should be said that this young master Tan is also handsome, noble, and has real talents.It's just that it's not easy to get along with him, just because he is too conceited and self-confident.Therefore, even though he is one of the four young masters, he still acts alone.

On the contrary, the other three sons of the family are good friends, and they often go out and eat together.Therefore, this further shows the indifference and inhumanity of that young master Tan, especially his coffin face that has been stern all the year round, which is even more daunting.So his friends are very few.

Finally, Tan Peizhi's figure could no longer be seen clearly. While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they became excited again.

Tianxiang got her favorite lantern and immediately smiled.The lanterns reflect the delicate beauty of the beauty, highlighting the beauty's charming demeanor.This scene of the beauty smiling lightly at the lamp, everyone was careful not to break it with false words.Not only did the onlookers not disperse, but they all stopped and stared at Tianxiang non-stop.

Liunian and Liuying were excited because the lady defeated the annoying Tan Peizhi, and at the same time they saw that the lady got the lantern they loved, and they couldn't help being even more overjoyed. "Miss, I think that Mr. Tan Xiaohou pretended to be a man and pestered you! But he was defeated by the young lady, and he still held it in his heart. He always took the opportunity to target the young lady. Now the young lady has taught him a lesson. Let's see if he dares to fight in the future." Overconfident!"

"That's right! Miss, you are really amazing! You didn't see the look of the young master Tan who lost just now. He was really depressed and had nowhere to go. The servant girl was really excited! By the way, Miss, your four In a word, what is the answer to the mystery?" While the two were excited, they were also curious about the answer.

Tianxiang blushed when she heard the words, coughed dryly, and said dodgingly: "The answer to the mystery, how about it, I'll tell you when I get back."

"Okay!" The two said in unison, and the group of three continued to go shopping excitedly.

"By the way, miss, you obviously won, why did you spend money to buy lanterns?" Liuying looked puzzled, and asked again: "Also, you clearly saw this lantern at first sight, but why did you buy other lanterns?" What about the two lanterns?"

Fleeting Nian heard the words and said in agreement: "Miss bought three lamps at once, it was really expensive, but the reason why miss gave the peddler money is mainly because he is a small business after all, and I can't help a gifted man like miss. , just to let Tan Xiaohou have no way out, and find no reason to embarrass the peddler."

Tianxiang said with satisfaction: "The fleeting time is right. But the reason why I bought three lamps, one for myself, and the other two are for the two of you! You have always served me wholeheartedly, but today is the Duanyang Festival. Take it as my holiday gift to you!"

"Miss!" The two were moved with red eyes.

"Thank you, miss, for the gift!"

"Miss, I knew you were the best for us!"

Tianxiang waved her hand and said, "Okay, just know that I treat you well." After speaking, she led the two of them towards the restaurant.After shopping all morning, she was already tired.He was hungry, thirsty and tired at the moment, and looking for a place to satisfy his stomach, Tianxiang decided to continue to take a walk in the afternoon.

Ke Lai Xiang is the largest restaurant in Kyoto, located in the center of the downtown area.It's rare for Tianxiang to come out for a stroll, so she naturally wants to come here to taste the food.

Liuying came to the restaurant, pointed to it and said excitedly: "Miss, look, this is it!"

Tianxiang raised her eyes and saw that the three characters on the door plaque of the restaurant were vigorous and powerful, and exuded a sense of arrogance.It seems that the person who wrote this book must have a sense of pride and is also a master of calligraphy.This guest Laixiang was able to get the brush and ink of that calligraphy master, which shows that the decoration in this restaurant must be more unique and luxurious.

The three of them had just walked downstairs when a waiter immediately greeted them and said enthusiastically, "Hello, guest officer, are you having dinner?"

Tianxiang nodded slightly, Liuying stepped forward first, and said to Xiao Er: "We only have dinner, please find a private room for Xiao Er brother, our lady does not like to be disturbed when eating, and likes to be quiet."

"Okay—" The waiter was also winking, and it was clear at a glance that the three people were dressed well, and they must be masters and servants of wealthy families.Immediately, he graciously led the three people up to the second floor, opened a private room and said: "Guest officer, please take a seat, here are the names of the meals, and they are only for ordering meals."

"En." After Tianxiang sat down, she responded softly.Then he opened the meal order list and handed it to Liu Nian.After taking a look at it, Liu Nian ordered a few of Tian Xiang's favorite dishes, and asked Xiao Er to go down to prepare the meal.Liuying took up the round fan and slowly fanned the wind for Tianxiang.

While fanning the wind, Liu Ying said with a smile: "Miss, we are very lucky today! I heard that there is usually a queue for customers to dine at Xiang Restaurant, and you have to book in advance if you want a private room. Unexpectedly, today we Not only did I get a seat, but I also got a private room, it must be that the heavens favored you, miss!"

Tianxiang was surprised when he heard the words, usually it is very difficult to get a reservation for this guest.What's more, today is such a grand festival, and now I am really sitting in the private room, a little lucky and surprised.

At this moment, there seemed to be a quarrel outside.

"What's the matter? We came more than half an hour earlier than them, but they have a private room to eat, but we have been queuing up, and there is no private room. What's going on?" An exasperated voice, shouted.

Tian Xiang frowned slightly, looked at Liu Nian and said: "Liu Nian, go out and take a look, what's going on, so noisy?"

"Yes, Miss!" Fleeting Nian immediately got up and walked out.

Fleeting Nian left the private room, stopped outside and listened for a while, and then came back to report: "Miss, this servant understands. It seems that other guest officials came before us, and they waited in line for more than half an hour, but no one came. Private room. But as soon as we came in, we were able to sit in the private room and eat, and they started to make noise when they were not convinced."

Tianxiang frowned again, this is not a good sign, something is not right.She remembered clearly that she had never eaten at this Ke Lai Xiang restaurant, so the waiter and shopkeeper would definitely not know her identity.Not to mention that he would not predict in advance and leave a private room for her.So in this situation, there must be something inside that she doesn't know.

"Well, I got it." Tianxiang ordered: "Go out again and call that Xiaoer here."

"Hey! I'm going now, servant girl!" Liu Nian immediately went out and called Xiao Er.

After a while, the little girl came in with Fleeting Years.Seeing Tianxiang, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully and said, "Miss, you called the little one over, but do you have any orders? Just ask if you need anything, and the little one will definitely do my best." Do it for you!"

Tianxiang lowered her eyes habitually, and took a sip of tea.It was only after entering the mouth that I realized that this tea was not the average high-grade tea, but the top-quality tea! "Well, you can explain to me that Miss Ben has a private room when she comes late. But the person who waited for so long before this lady doesn't have a private room? As the largest restaurant in Kyoto, the restaurant should not say anything Unbelievable thing, right?"

Tianxiang's tone was indifferent, but revealed a majesty that no one dared to question.Hearing that, the second child's scalp tingled and his heart trembled with fear.After a long time, I managed to force a smile, and flatteringly said: "Miss's words are too unbelievable, sorry for my lack of talent and learning, I don't quite understand, miss, I dare you to explain clearly!"

"Hmph! What a ignorant one!" Tianxiang stared at the little girl coldly with a straight face, making him uneasy, and suddenly asked directly: "Then tell me when the time comes, who told you to reserve it for this lady?" This private room? Who asked you to wait outside the restaurant? Also, who taught you to know the three masters and servants of Miss Ben?"
