After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 223
On the way the two walked back, many merchants had already hung up the most exquisite lanterns in their stores and placed them at the door.Gein has the most pedestrians at this time, so it is only now.

The lanterns in every household are painstakingly made, from the materials to the shape, so they have attracted many passers-by to stop and watch them not long after they were hung up.

Xie Jie also glanced along, and then he said: "Since the fourth girl thinks that I have made a loss-making business, why don't you let me get back the money?"

Of course Yun Zhuo wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say that.Thinking of the scene of the noble Shoufu condescending to squeeze into the crowd in order to compensate her with a branch of white gardenia, she felt very guilty.

With the awe-inspiring righteousness that was almost like going to death bravely, she said: "You... tell me, what do you want?"

She was ready to bleed profusely.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jie just gestured to the lantern on the opposite side with his eyes, and said, "I want that."

Yun Zhuo followed his gaze and saw an exquisite lantern swaying in the evening wind, and the light of the lamp lightly rippled in a circle of flickering ripples.

"It's easy to handle, Mr. Xie, wait for me for a while, I will be back soon."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the dim sum shop opposite, lowered her head and took out the purse, while asking the shopkeeper, "How much is this lantern?"

The grey-bearded shopkeeper waved his hand: "Girl, this lamp is not for sale. If you guess the lantern riddles correctly, the lantern will be given to you for free."

Yunzhuo reached out to untie the note hanging under the lamp, and saw that it read: Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, and jackal cats and dogs are similar; there are words, poems, and the Analects of Confucius. North-east-south direction.

She sighed, hung up the note again, and said to the shopkeeper, "Can't I buy it? I'm really ignorant, so I can't figure it out."

She has been at odds with guessing riddles since she was a child, and she still had some interest in it when she was a child, but after failing to guess it several times, she never touched it again.

It's the same now, seeing the enigma, she feels dizzy and black-eyed, and just wants to sleep.Anyway, I can't figure it out if I think about it, so I might as well sleep.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "This puzzle is very simple. If you look again, little girl, you can guess it."

Yun Zhuo sighed, and whispered to him: "Have you ever seen that man standing across the street? To be honest, that is my elder brother. Don't look at him as a human being, but when he was young, he climbed a tree and broke it. I've lost my mind, and now I'm almost like a three-year-old child. We were planning to go home just now, but he saw your lantern and refused to leave. He tortured me for a quarter of an hour and insisted that I come to get it. You can do it, please. "

When the young men and women who were attracted by the lantern heard her touching words, they were all moved immediately, and they all said good things to her: "Shopkeeper, you can sell it to this girl. The lantern has a price, but friendship is priceless!"

"Yes, yes, it's rare to find such a good girl now, she doesn't dislike her stupid brother at all, she's really kind-hearted!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper was still silent, Yun Zhuo took out the money bag again and said, "This is the only tael I have on me. I am willing to use all of it to buy your lantern. I hope you, the shopkeeper, can make it easier for me." .”

First it was a drama of bitterness, and then there was money touching people's hearts. The shopkeeper finally became firm in the battle between heaven and man. He got up and took off the lantern hanging under the eaves with a hook, and gave it to the little girl in front of him, saying: "take it."

Yun Zhuo thanked him, and finally left with a lantern.

Although it was far away, Xie Jie could still vaguely see Yun Zhuo's movement of hanging the note up, and also saw that she had been talking to the shopkeeper, so when she came back, he took the lantern in her hand and asked with a smile: " Didn't guess it?"

Yun Zhuo complained bitterly: "It's not just that I can't guess it, I have no clue at all, do you know that I was stunned when I saw that mystery, is this true? Is there really such a long mystery? Kill me!"

"What mystery?"

Yun Zhuo thought about it for a while, and stammered: "Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, it is like jackals, cats and dogs... There are words, poems, and the Analects of Confucius, and the direction is missing." Said. After that, she still didn't forget to ask Xie Jie for confirmation, "It's really long, isn't it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Xie Jie was silent for a while, and said: "Like jackal cats and dogs, it is '犭', black, white, red and yellow, and there are dogs, that is 'green', which can be combined with the word 'guess'; It is found in the Analects of Confucius in poems, and that is "讠", and if you lose the direction of southeast, northwest, it is just a "mystery", which can become a "mystery".

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Zhuo helplessly, as if he was saying: You can't even guess such a simple puzzle?

Yun Zhuo was made even angrier by what he said, but when she thought of the conversation she had with the shopkeeper just now, she felt a little proud of winning back: "You know I didn't guess the lantern riddle, what did I say to the shopkeeper, he Are you willing to let me leave with the lantern?"

Xie Jie subconsciously felt that what Yun Zhuo wanted to say would not be what he wanted to hear.

Sure enough, Yun Zhuo didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "I said you are my elder brother, who broke his brain when he was young, and the shopkeeper made an exception."

Who knew that Xie Jie was not angry at all because of her words, but instead said calmly: "Then you call brother to listen?"

Yun Zhuo didn't cry, she was very frustrated by Xie Jie's indifference, she made a face, and trotted forward, leaving Xie Jie to follow slowly behind.

……

Lu Qingzhu had already been rescued by a woman who was familiar with water, and as soon as she got ashore, the maid wrapped her in a blouse, so as to hide her exquisite body stuck under her drenched dress.She got a pardon from her own girl before, and went shopping by herself.If she had known that this kind of thing would happen after she left, she would never leave her girl.

Lu Qingzhu leaned weakly on the maid, and thanked the soldiers and saviors who rushed over in time.

The soldiers of Wucheng Bingma Division enthusiastically said: "This is thanks to Miss Yun Si, otherwise we would not know about it."

"Miss Yun Si?" Lu Qingzhu asked doubtfully when he thought of the Xiangfei-colored figure he suddenly saw before falling into the water.

The soldier is an enthusiastic soldier. Of course, it may be that he has lived a leisurely life for too long. Now something happened, so his attitude is very enthusiastic: "Yes, you also know her?"

Lu Qingzhu lost his mind and nodded, "I... have heard of it."

She couldn't figure out why Yun Zhuo wanted to save her, she obviously hated her, didn't she?

The soldier didn't know Lu Qingzhu's identity, so naturally he didn't think that Lu Qingzhu would lie to him. He just scratched his head and said honestly: "Since I heard about it, I'll come to the door to thank you when I get back to health."

Lu Qingzhu choked up, but looking at the soldier's sincere eyes, she still nodded: "Okay."
