Chapter 40 Riddles

Chapter 40 Lantern Riddles

During this time, Liu Qingqing just stood quietly behind Lu Heng, letting her uncle hold her hand. She lowered her head, and a touch of pink appeared on her temples. The hand held by Lu Heng was a little light.

She was trembling slightly. It could be seen that she was a little nervous.

It wasn't until Lu Heng used some nonsensical words to get rid of the scholar who came to chat with her that Liu Qingqing quietly broke away from Lu Heng's hand. She raised her head and glanced at him with a smile. Then she moved forward lightly.

Go.

Judging from her pursed lips and snickering, she must be very happy.

Lu Heng smiled slightly and followed.

After entering, Lu Heng realized why this small lantern stall attracted so many students to watch. It turned out that it was all because of the lantern riddles.

This lantern riddle is not as easy to guess as those at other stalls. The lantern riddles hanging here are a bit difficult. Moreover, those lanterns also have a unique mood. Except for some lotus lanterns and chrysanthemum lanterns, they are all history.

The character. An old man, happily sitting on a small bench looking at more and more tourists in front of him.

Whenever he saw someone coming over, he would stare at the riddle and think hard for a long time, and then nervously write down his guessed answer to the riddle. There would be a proud smile on the old man's face, and then he would shake his head ruthlessly.

The old man felt even more proud when he looked at the cardboard next to him that was full of writing and the students who were thinking hard but couldn't figure it out.

He smoothed his fluttering beard, raised his head, glanced at the students around him, and snorted: "I heard that the talents in Jiangnan are unparalleled in the country, so I took this opportunity to come over and check it out. Alas, when I saw it today, it turned out to be true.

It's better to be famous than to meet him!" The old man shook his head with a look of regret on his face.

Ha, it turned out to be from the north. Lu Heng, who was standing in the crowd watching the excitement, felt happy after hearing these words.

No matter what the old man's plans were, or whether he was a northern talent or not. Just based on today's riddles and the crowd of Jiangnan talents watching his defeat, he was considered famous tonight.

Just look at the faces of the talented people around you, and you can almost guess it.

Sure enough, the students around him glared angrily when they heard the old man's blatant provocation.

The old man still had a dead face, and seemed not to notice the angry looks of the talented people around him at all. He was still weaving the lanterns leisurely.

"Hmph, if Mr. Yishan and Xiao Zhiyuan were here, how could he let this old man be so arrogant?"

"Even Su Fuyin's eldest son, Su Zhengwen can make him go back to the north in despair!"

"Tsk, he's just a playboy, where did he get his talent?

"Well, not to mention other people, if Wang Jiangong were here, how could she be allowed to be so rampant?"

Some talented people in the crowd began to send out signals of dissatisfaction with the old man's attitude. Lu Heng had also heard of these people they were talking about, and he had also had contact with one of them.

Su Zhengwen? Ha!

After hearing someone in the crowd talking about Su Zhengwen, someone immediately refuted it. Lu Heng touched his chin and smiled inwardly when he looked at the scholar who looked disdainful when Su Zhengwen's name was mentioned to others.

As for Wang Jiangong, Lu Heng knows it. He is the eldest son of the palace. He is the eldest brother in Wang Tingzhi's mouth yesterday. This man has a lot of talent in Jiangning. He is also considered low-key. With Xiao Zhiyuan, he became

Two hermits.

However, I heard that this person was not in Jiangning this year, but went to Tokyo. It is said that he was Mr. Wang's disciple at that time, and found an opportunity for him, saying that he might serve as a county official.

As for Xiao Zhiyuan, he only had a few encounters with him, and nothing else.

"How about it? Talented men, can anyone guess it? Haha, if anyone can guess any of the riddles, he can choose the lanterns here?" The old man looked provocatively at Jiang Nan, who was lowering his head and not daring to look at him.

The talent glanced at it, and then sighed with a sigh on his face: "Oh, it seems there is no one left. Unfortunately, I am planning to give away three lanterns for free today! There is not even one in Jiangning in such a big place!"

Those students who had a little bit of backbone lowered their heads in shame and anger. But most of the students who were watching sneaked away without others paying attention.

Out of sight is out of mind. If you stay here, you really can't afford to lose that person.

As the crowd dispersed, the excitement also disappeared. Lu Heng, who was looking forward to the development of things, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after seeing this result. He shook his head with a smile and prepared to take Liu Qingqing away.

"Uncle!" Liu Qingqing, who had been standing in front of a lotus lantern, frowning and looking at the mysterious face above, turned around and asked Lu Heng abruptly.

"Uh, ah? What's the matter? Have you guessed it?" Lu Heng came back to his senses, turned his head, looked at Liu Qingqing and asked.

"No way!" Liu Qingqing's pretty face turned red and she glared at Lu Heng angrily, as if she was blaming him and making fun of herself for not knowing how to guess riddles.

"The ice wheel is moving, heading west. It's not like this. What kind of lantern riddle is this? Does uncle know the answer?" Liu Qingqing seemed to like this pink lantern very much. She stood there, with her slender white fingers, gently

Stroking the lantern, he turned his head, bit his lip, and asked softly.

This is a crossword puzzle, which is actually not too difficult. Well, the main reason is that Lu Heng has seen it before.

Lu Heng touched his chin, recalled it, and said with a smile: "It's a crossword puzzle. The answer should be that word!"

Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up and she thought about it carefully, her face full of joy. She turned her head and faced the old man sitting on the ground, who was looking at Lu Heng in disbelief, and asked: "Old sir, are we

Is your guess correct?"

Just after Lu Heng secretly told Liu Qingqing the answer to the riddle, the old man's face changed slightly as he listened with his ears perked up. He looked at Lu Heng suspiciously, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Old sir, what's the answer to the riddle?" Liu Qingqing had a smile on her lips, and her soft voice made her whole body feel comfortable.

Even the unhappy old man couldn't help but blush a little when he saw Liu Qingqing's beautiful appearance. The spring-breathing smile gently blew away the little Jiujiu in his heart.

The old man smiled coquettishly, nodded, and said with cupped hands: "The girl is right, the answer to the riddle is indeed that word!"

He felt a little uncomfortable giving away the lanterns he bought at a high price. The old man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Girl, why don't you guess one? If you can guess it, I will give you two a mandarin duck lantern.

How about it?" the old man said, pointing to a beautiful mandarin duck lantern hanging beside him.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qingqing let out a soft sigh, and her charming face turned pink with embarrassment. However, she was a little anxious in her heart and wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know how to say it.

She turned her head and glared at Lu Heng, thinking to herself, let Lu Heng explain.

However, Lu Heng was standing aside, looking at the old man with a smile, without any intention of explaining.

"How?; this young master?" The old man cast his eyes on Lu Heng again and asked with a sly smile.

Seeing that Lu Heng was still looking at him with a smile and not answering, the old man deliberately provoked him and said, "Is it possible that the young master just heard the answer to the riddle somewhere, or maybe he got it right?"

The surrounding students gathered together again. Seeing that Lu Heng had guessed a riddle, they all cheered. Of course, some people curled their lips and thought to themselves, who is this person? How can he guess it if he has never seen it before?

If you can't figure out the lantern riddles yourself, you must be fooling yourself or something like that.

At this time, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

"Hey, isn't this the boy from the Lu family? Hey, boy from the Lu family, guess one more and let us keep quiet, haha!"

Hearing this, Lu Heng turned his head slightly and saw Su Zhengwen standing in the crowd, wearing a white gown, looking at him with a look of gloating on his misfortune.

Lu Heng's eyes were cold for a moment, then returned to his indifferent expression.

However, he turned his attention to the second lantern.

After looking at the puzzle, he looked around with a smile and said softly: "That's fine!"
