Chapter 78 Riddles
The fortune teller said to the boys and girls in front of him: "Girl's life is very precious, but it's a pity that this little brother is not very lucky. If the two of you want to get married, I'm afraid..."

The girl was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Dade, if you dare to ask, is there any solution? The little girl doesn't want to be rich, but just wants to get married with Brother Xuan and grow old forever. Please help me..."

The young man on the side also said: "Xiao Yu..." There was a kind of determination in his eyes, and he said to the fortune teller: "Please help me, sir, A Xuan is willing to give it a try!"

The fortune teller showed a troubled expression, but his eyes fell on the white jade bracelet on the girl's right wrist.

The girl understood, and hurriedly returned the bracelet in her hand, and handed it to the fortune teller: "A small thank you is not a respect, I hope you will accept it!"

The fortune teller finally showed a smile, and his small eyes narrowed into slits: "It's not difficult, it's just a matter of chance. The two of you just need... that's all! In the future, the two of you will achieve a positive result, but it's not difficult." Don't forget your hard work! Haha!"

Yun Zhou didn't hear what he explained to the two young men, but Yun Zhou was sure in his heart that this man was a charlatan, cheating food, drinking and money. It's rare that there are still people who are willing to believe it!

The boy and the girl thanked each other repeatedly, then turned and left.

Yun Zhou didn't notice the surprised expression on Qiu Wanjie's face, but walked forward with the idea of ​​teasing the liar.

At this time, another aunt ran over and put a certain amount of money in front of the fortune teller.

"Great kindness, sir! You are truly a fortune teller. I followed the methods you taught me to seek a child, and within a month my daughter-in-law was finally pregnant! You must accept this money, and our family is very grateful!"

After speaking, the aunt knelt down and kowtowed. The fortune teller didn't refuse at all, but received three slaps from the aunt.

After the aunt left, Yun Zhou stepped forward. For some reason, she just saw that these charlatans were not pleasing to the eye, and she wanted to teach him a lesson. Who made her so boring these days, and finally came out today. Of course, she wanted to find something Pastime!
"God's fortune teller? You named this yourself?" Yun Zhou came to his hanging booth and asked.

When the gentleman heard it was a little girl's voice, and her tone was rather unkind. When he looked up, the little girl was wrapped in a spacious cloak, with white rabbit fur rolled around the edge of the cloak. His small face was faintly visible behind the rabbit fur, although he couldn't tell the face clearly, but the voice was so beautiful that he couldn't help but feel excited.

"It's just a nickname in the world! What does a girl care about? Marriage or fate?"

Yun Zhou chuckled: "It's all counted."

The fortune teller said: "Very well, please tell me the horoscope of your birthday." He pinched his fingers, as if he was going to do some calculations right away.

Yun Zhou sneered from the bottom of his heart, he really looked like a liar, nothing new at all.She turned her head to look at Chou Wanjie, and saw that he was standing there looking at her, showing no sign of impatience, but staring at him nervously, but she didn't intend to stop him.

"My master said that a girl can't just tell others her birth date!" After speaking, Yun Zhou looked at Qiu Wanjie, and he really laughed.

The gentleman who was about to do the calculation just now was a little dumb, speechless for a moment, and then said: "If that's the case, then I'll just look at the girl's palmistry and face, and I can do the same divination."

Yun Zhou replied again: "What a rude person, what kind of fortune teller is he, but you don't know that you can look at the girl's face and hands at will?"

The fortune teller's expression froze again. Normally, he would have driven away such troublemakers, but now, listening to the melodious voice like a silver bell, he couldn't get angry at all. Instead, he felt that she said It's very reasonable, and I secretly scolded myself for being cheap!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Zhou felt a little complacent, and said again: "Why, if you don't have a date of birth, and don't read your face and palm, you can't count it out? Is it just such a little skill?"

As soon as the fortune teller heard others question his ability, he stood up suddenly and said in a hurry, "I have more abilities than that. Since the girl said so, why don't I test the word for the girl? This word Girls can always write, right?"

Yun Zhou chuckled lightly and said, "Okay!"

The fortune teller prepared the pen and paper, and Yun Zhou stepped forward, picked up a pen and wrote the word 'calculate'.

The gentleman smiled after seeing it, and was about to figure out something, but his mind went blank!How could this be?Based on what he has learned in Xuanji Sect for many years, how could he not be able to detect even a word!
Taking a deep breath, the fortune teller concentrated again and calculated carefully...

hum!
A sharp pain drilled into his brain!Cold sweat came down!
Yun Zhou looked at his pale face, and suddenly asked: "What? Is it good or bad? Can't you figure it out?"

The fortune teller was very surprised and said, "Are you asking the girl to write a word?"

Yun Zhou hesitated for a while and wrote the word 'Bu'.

Sir, try again, but the headache is even worse!
"Please ask the girl to write another word!" The fortune teller trembled at the end, he had never encountered such a thing.

Yun Zhou sneered, thinking that this is really a liar, he can't even tell nonsense!Fortunately, I wrote the word 'cheat'!

After the fortune teller saw it, the white face turned red, and then turned white again, and it was frighteningly white!

"What? Still can't figure it out? A charlatan like you can't even make up nonsense, it's really boring! Be careful next time, if you come out to cheat people out of money again, be careful that once I see you, I will smash you once!" After finishing speaking , Yunzhou took the white jade bracelet and the piece of silver that had not been put away from his stall, and said to him: "I will donate the money to those poor people for you, do you not accept it?"

The fortune teller was pale and silent, he was shocked and didn't listen to what Yun Zhou was saying.Although he is only a last-class disciple in the Xuanji Sect, he also knows that there are only two kinds of people who cannot be fortune-told, one is 'celestial beings', and the other is...

When he came back to his senses, Yun Zhou had already walked a few steps, Qiu Wanjie stepped forward to hold her hand, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the fortune teller.

"Girl, stop! May I ask, do you have... Shuanghuazhu on your body?"

Yun Zhou stopped in his tracks, Qiu Wanjie turned his head, his eyes were cold, but he didn't speak.Yun Zhou wanted to say something, but was held by Qiu Wanjie and left there.

"Master, how did he know that I have the Shuanghua Pearl?" Yun Zhou asked in confusion.

Qiu Wanjie looked ahead, and said calmly: "Xuanji Sect! That person is not a charlatan, but a member of Xuanji Sect. It seems that he should be just a low-level disciple. Now that the Xuanji Sect is in chaos, he should have taken the opportunity to escape. He can't calculate your fate, so he will naturally think of Shuanghuazhu."

Yun Zhou was stunned and said, "So that's how it is."

There were two beggars on the street begging on the side of the road, and Yun Zhou gave them the white jade bracelet and silver.

The two beggars kowtowed to them gratefully, Qiu Wanjie didn't say much, and led her to continue walking.

Yun Zhou asked again: "If I had known, I wouldn't have messed with this matter. I just wanted to tease the liar, but I didn't expect to meet someone from the Xuanji Sect. Now that he knows that I have the Shuanghua Pearl, does it matter?"

Under the lights, Qiu Wanjie made a gesture, and then a black shadow flashed across the crowd, heading straight for the fortune-telling booth just now!

Qiu Wanjie smiled: "It's just a traitor from the Xuanji Sect. Since someone has cleaned up the sect, he won't show up again from now on. You can rest assured."

Yun Zhou understood it, so he didn't think too much about it.Tonight, just to watch the lanterns.

There are various themes of the lanterns, but there are more than a dozen kinds of exchanges, the dragon and the phoenix present auspiciousness, the God of Wealth announces good news, Guanyin gives birth to a child, and carp jumps over the dragon gate...

"Which one do you like? I'll buy it for you as a gift." Qiu Wanjie took her hand and looked up at the sky. There was no moon tonight.

Yun Zhou said: "There's nothing I particularly like, I just like to join in the fun. Do you think it will snow soon?"

"I don't know, depending on the weather, maybe it will."

"It's snowing, I like to see the snow is white." Yun Zhou's hand was held by him, his palm was very warm, it's good, now he is no longer cold...

Walking to a street in front of Wushuang Pavilion, there are suddenly more people.

"Master, you can guess lantern riddles here. If you guess correctly, the lantern will be given to you. If you don't guess correctly, you will be given a penny." Yunzhou seemed to be in a sudden mood, and pulled Qiu Wanjie to a street vendor.

Qiu Wanjie raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a rule?"

"Well, you never go out for shopping, of course I don't know. I think it's much more interesting this way. Look how lively this street is!"

Qiu Wanjie nodded: "That's right, it's interesting. Then let's guess."

Yun Zhou pointed to a Guanyin lamp and read: "Buildings are connected to each other, one layer after another, with white gas coming out from above, and water blooming below. Use daily utensils."

Qiu Wanjie frowned, and said, "What kind of lantern riddle is this, why have I never heard of it?"

The stall owner looked at the well-dressed two people in front of him, and quickly explained: "Young master must think that the mystery is superficial, but in fact, the stall of the villain is aimed at ordinary people, and it is too difficult, so no one patronizes it." Yes. You must have never seen this kind of riddle before."

Qiu Wanjie nodded slightly, he really couldn't figure out what the answer was.

"Do you know?" Qiu Wanjie looked at Yun Zhou.

Yun Zhou said: "Of course I know, I'm not like you, so non-human! This is a steamer, a steamer for steaming steamed buns!"

The stall owner smiled and said, "The girl is so smart, she guessed it right away." He took off the lamp and handed it to Yun Zhou.

Yunzhou took it, and continued walking forward holding Qiu Wanjie's hand.

"I really didn't expect it to be a steamer. I really haven't seen it before."

"You'll know if you go to the kitchen a few more times, let's go to the front, it's so lively there!"

On the high platform in front of the gate of Wushuang Pavilion, there was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes who was talking about something, Yun Zhou pulled Qiu Wanjie and pushed forward, she liked any lively place.

The middle-aged man clasped his fists on the stage and said with a smile on his face: "Dear folks and elders, I am the shopkeeper of this Wushuang Pavilion. Our Wushuang Pavilion has always been an elegant place where literati and refined scholars gather. Today, through this lantern festival, we specially hold a The Poetry Contest! I hope everyone will actively participate, the top three scholars will be honored as guests of the Wushuang Pavilion, and they will attend together with Dr. Jin and Dr. Wu of the Imperial Academy, as well as other literati and guests, to spend this Lantern Festival together!"
