Chapter 38 Riddles
Wang Tong'er stood aside obediently and watched. She saw that Xie Yuheng had shot three arrows before, and she must have figured out how to use the bow and arrow accurately. This time, the short arrows were placed on the bow, and all five were fired at once.
With a sound, the five arrows hit the target in unison, hitting the red heart!
"Wow!" Sure enough, it hit.
Wang Tong'er couldn't help but clapped her hands: "That's amazing!"
Wang Tong'er stared at the handsome Xie Yuheng holding a bow and arrow with great interest, her mouth opened in an 'o' shape.
Damn you, this is so majestic...
Xie Yuheng picked up the remaining five arrows, and he was even more confident that the arrows were all fired!
Ten arrows hit the target firmly!
The people around him were also shocked. The people who didn't think highly of him just now started applauding after a moment.
"This young master is very capable!"
"Young Master is so awesome! He actually hit the target!"
"What a great archery skill!"
Xiao Mo, who was following closely behind, saw that the prince had been shot and had already taken out the copper coins to pay the stall owner.
Xie Yuheng was calm and composed, pointing to the little rabbit lantern: "Here, take off the rabbit lantern."
Xiao Mo and the others were so surprised that they suspected that tonight was a fake prince!
When did their calm and indifferent, handsome prince become so down-to-earth and condescending to show off his skills in public at this stall?
It was Miss Tong'er who had such a big face that she dragged her informal master into the world of mortals.
The stall owner went to get the lantern with a sad face. Xie Yuheng took the lantern, took Wang Tong'er's little hand and left immediately.
As soon as the remaining people saw that someone could actually hit the target, they immediately became more excited. Many people watching began to ask the stall owner for bows and arrows, which made the stall owner grinning with joy!
I thought it was a credit just now, but I didn’t expect that the young master was doing free publicity for me.
I imagined in my mind that the money was flying into my pocket...
After waiting out of the crowd, Xie Yuheng handed the lantern in his hand to Wang Tong'er. He lowered his head and happened to bump into those big eyes that were brighter than the stars. Wang Tong'er's almond-shaped eyes were bright, full of admiration: "The prince is so amazing.
······!”
If this were a martial arts movie, there would be no need for a stand-in!
Xie Yuheng felt even more relieved than receiving the emperor's praise, and pursed her lips: "Take it."
Wang Tong'er couldn't help but took the lantern carefully and smiled, "Thank you, Prince." She held the lantern and touched it again and again. She couldn't put it down. The craftsmanship of the ancient craftsmen was so exquisite!
The two of them followed the flow of people and walked forward. There was a lantern riddle guessing shop. The person who guessed the last lantern riddle correctly could win a plum blossom hairpin.
That plum blossom hairpin is quite exquisite, worth dozens of taels of silver at least!
In ancient times, guessing lantern riddles was a relatively elegant thing. The people around were just watching the fun, mainly a group of literati.
Because of the plum blossom hairpin, the business of this jewelry shop is particularly attractive and prosperous, and there are many circles of people inside and outside.
In fact, most wealthy literati and scholars do not necessarily do it just for this plum blossom hairpin, which is worth dozens of taels of silver. They mainly want to show off. If they win this plum blossom hairpin, they will be able to win it in front of their classmates, close friends, and little girls.
It’s more face-saving, isn’t it?
Furthermore, it is a joy in life to be able to show that one is superior to others and give the plum blossom hairpin that one wins to the little girl that he loves!
Wang Tong'er couldn't help but take a look at the plum blossom hairpin. The workmanship was really fine.
They are all hand polished and carefully carved. If it were modern, I don’t know how much the handwork would be worth!
Xie Yuheng noticed her expression and asked her: "Like it?"
She quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just think it looks good."
Xie Yuheng saw that the little girl was embarrassed to speak. Since she liked it, he went to win it for her.
So Wang Tong'er held the lantern and was led into the crowd by him. He carefully protected her in his arms and prevented others from touching her. Wang Tong'er saw too many people and was afraid that people would accidentally hit her and hurt her, so she snuggled up to Xie Yuheng docilely.
's chest.
Once inside, these people are all very knowledgeable, they speak in a coherent manner, and they quote scriptures at will.
She saw a riddle on a lamp: "Meeting on the Plateau and telling the local accent." Her big almond-shaped eyes blinked and she said in a low voice: "Xingxiang."
Xie Yuheng lowered his head and asked suspiciously: "Do you know the words on this?"
He just heard the little girl leaning on his chest say the correct answer.
Unexpectedly, the little girl was really obedient. I told her to study and practice calligraphy when she had nothing to do. She was very obedient and kept what she said in her heart.
Before he could write the answer on the small piece of paper with the riddle attached to it under the lantern, the young scholar in green clothes and brocade robes in front of him jumped in first and wrote the answer on it.
Wang Tong'er was not as quick as others in reading the riddles. She had to first understand the traditional Chinese characters and then guess the riddles.
Followed by another word: Once upon a time, it was difficult to change the situation.
She was worried that the answer would be snatched away by others, so she shouted excitedly: "It's Tan, Tan!"
Her loud voice immediately caused everyone around her to look back at her.
"Huh? She's a little girl!"
"Tsk, tsk, it's not easy, she really guessed it."
Wang Tong'er's little face raised up proudly, "Humph! I don't have any ability in archery. I am also a dignified college student. Can't you guess a little lantern riddle?"
Sure enough, she guessed four or five lantern riddles in a row.
Xie Yuheng didn't compete with her to guess lantern riddles. He was happy to see the little girl outperform those scholars who boasted about their literary talents.
At the same time, he watched with cold eyes, wondering whether she was the one who had just taught her literacy a few years ago.
No matter how smart she is, she can't guess riddles so easily?
Could it be that she was also reborn?
Even if she was reborn, she was only sixteen years old before her death and was detained in the back house, so she would not have access to this knowledge!
Considering that idiot Xie Yuhuai, he can't teach her to read, let alone guess lantern riddles.
Is the little girl really talented and smart?
Tsk!
My little girl is still a treasure, and I will wait for my son to slowly dig it out in the future.
Until a lantern riddle about playing an animal puzzled everyone.
Wang Tong'er took a look at the mystery: the plum blossoms were blooming in the mountains and forests, and he was so good if he didn't learn how to rope. He watched the horse racing with a thunder, and he was still rich in the mountains.
Huh!
Haven't they heard of sika deer?
Wang Tong'er replied in a clear voice: "It's a sika deer."
"What kind of animal is a sika deer?"
"What animal is a sika deer?"
Um?
What question is this asking? I keep asking it again and again.
Is it possible that there was no sika deer in the Zhou Dynasty?
If there were no sika deer, where did this merchant find the mystery?
I guess sika deer exist, but only a few people know that they have seen them.
Wang Tong'er held a pen in her little hand and carefully drew the sika deer on the white paper.
