I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 677 Lantern Riddles Guessing Contest

The more Xia Ying thought about it, the happier she became.

"As long as everyone's rejection of bamboo rats is minimized, the bamboo rats in Songji Restaurant will be more popular, so the industry of raising bamboo rats in Gujia Village will also flourish. In this way, in addition to raising rabbits, the villagers also With one more job to earn money, everyone’s life will be better and better in the future!”

"That's right! There is your family in Gu's Village, but they are all well-known!" Guan Shi nodded.

She was a little jealous of the villagers of Gujia Village!

She loves to hear these words!

Xia Ying immediately smiled even more happily.

Just when Xia Ying was smiling, Gu Tuo quietly came back with his daughter in his arms.

"Yingniang, I researched the place where the oil lamp is placed inside the bamboo mouse, and the lamp oil inside can burn for a whole night!" He whispered to Xia Ying to offer his treasure.

The corner of Xia Ying's mouth twitched slightly. "Really? Then you are really good."

"By the way, I also made some small bamboo mouse lanterns for you. We will hang them up when we go home later, and our family will celebrate the Lantern Festival together!" Gu Tuo said again, "This is the lantern I gave to you." Do you like the surprise you prepared?"

Seeing his cautious appearance, Xia Ying was speechless for a while.

"Am I so fierce that I scare you like this?"

"No!" Gu Tuo waved his hands quickly.

No wonder!
Xia Ying twitched the corner of her mouth.

However, seeing that his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite correct, and because he had something to offer as an apology, Xia Ying decided not to bother with him too much.

She took Sister Bao from him, and began to teach her daughter to call her grandma.

Fortunately, after teaching it dozens of times, Sister Bao could finally call grandma vaguely, and Xia Ying was completely satisfied.

Guan Shi and Miss Zhifu saw this scene in their eyes, and they both shook their heads and sighed at the same time.

This wayward little woman!

Just looking at her wayward behavior in front of Gu Tuo, why are they all so envious?After all, she relied on the fact that Gu Tuo had her in his heart and was willing to indulge her, that's why she was able to become like this!

A woman can be content with a man like this in her lifetime.

It's a pity that Guan's life is hopeless.At first, Miss Zhifu still held some hope, but because of the hunt in the twelfth lunar month, she now only wants to go to the capital to find the killer. Hold on to hope!
Here, each of them has different thoughts, and the appearance of the huge bamboo rat lantern outside has already caused a sensation among the common people.

When the mood in the crowd calmed down a bit, Zhifu Mao announced in public——

"Since we have lanterns, we need to play some games. Therefore, the government has specially prepared some lantern riddles, which are hidden on these lotus petals outside. Everyone can come and look for them. If you find the correct answer, all of them There will be prizes! Moreover, all those who answer correctly can come and continue to guess the lantern riddles on the bamboo rat, and finally a winner will be selected, and the government will reward him with 100 taels of silver!"

coax!
100 taels of silver!
Such a large sum of money immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm for guessing lantern riddles.

In an instant, almost everyone flocked towards the lantern, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely hot.

Even a lot of people went out from the nearby sheds, and they all vowed to win the first place!

Guan Shi and the others saw this scene in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel excited all over their bodies.

"Why don't we send a few people over there to try?" Guan suggested in a low voice, "Sister Yingniang, how about your husband-in-law and brother Hao?"

"Let's forget about them! These two guys are not good at reading and making fusses. Guessing lantern riddles is like reading heavenly books to them. I dare not have any hope for them!" Xia Ying He waved his hand without hesitation.

As for Gu Tuo and Gu Yuanhao, father and son who were so belittled by her...

They looked calm, and the two of them planted their feet firmly on the ground, and they didn't intend to go forward to join in the fun at all.They fully proved Xia Ying's rhetoric with practical actions.

However, the young masters of the magistrate's mansion were very excited when they heard the words, and they immediately rolled up their sleeves.

"I'm going to try it!"

Then, a few people all passed away with a whimper.

The wife of the magistrate, as well as the young wives and children in the house of several married princes of the magistrate all stretched their necks to see their performance.

But in fact……

At the beginning, there were quite a lot of riddles hidden in the lotus, and many people were fascinated by the 100 taels of silver lottery, so countless people were moved by the wind, and directly crowded the huge high platform.

Thanks to the magistrate Mao's preparations, he had arranged for people to guide them from the beginning, so that there was no trouble in the flow of people.

But in this way, the situation at the beginning was a group of demons dancing wildly and making noise everywhere. Even if their shed was just opposite to the bamboo mouse lantern, they couldn't see anything at all!
"It's just an audition right now! The fun will really start when we pick out the best riddle guessers from this group of people, and then we all go up to the high platform and start playing the lantern riddles hidden on the bamboo rat lantern. So for now, let's It's better to take it easy first, gather your strength and wait for a while to applaud!" Xia Ying said, and she sat back again.

Miss Zhifu and Guan Shi saw this, and they also sat back.

Xia Ying beckoned to Gu Yuanhao again, and she stuffed some money into his hand. "You take a few little ones out for a stroll, and buy whatever you want to eat and play. I will give you a stick of incense time, and you must come back within the stick of incense."

"okay!"

Gu Yuanhao hurriedly agreed, and he turned around and waved to Fu, Xiaoqi and the others. "Let's go, let's go to the street to play!"

A group of little babies immediately followed, and sister Ling and sister Hui who were beside Guan also raised their heels to follow.

Seeing these little fellows follow Gu Yuanhao out of the shed like this, Madam Zhifu is still worried!
"Mrs. Gu, why do you let such a group of children go out without sending a few people to watch? There are so many people on the street, what should we do if something goes wrong?"

"Mother, don't worry, Sister Yingniang has a sense of propriety." The magistrate immediately spoke up for Xia Ying, "The Lantern Festival last year, when we went out to enjoy the lanterns together, she had already done this, and a group of children showed that It was very good. Then there was chaos on the street, and the older ones took good care of the younger ones, and brought them back safe and sound! Later they stood up to help maintain order! You know that. "

Two years have passed since that incident, and now these children are only more capable than they were two years ago.

Their children must be fine!
