76 Riddles



76 Riddles

"Children should stay out of adult matters!"

Leave a sentence and leave in style!

Liu Yuhua, with her messy hair, stood there dumbfounded!

Xiao Tingyun followed Xiao Hezhou back to the Song family.

At an open-air tea stall, Song was drinking tea and chatting with Xiao Huanshan.

Seeing Xiao Hezhou and his daughter coming, Song quickly pulled her daughter over and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you hot?"

Xiao Tingyun shook his head and said with a smile, "The weather is nice today. I think the gods in heaven also know to give us a day off so that lovers can finally get married."

"You are the only one who talks nonsense." Song scolded with a smile.

No one cared about Xiao Hezhou, so he could only sigh, "Alas... In my mother's eyes, there is only Ayun, and no longer a son like me."

"You are certainly not comparable to Ayun." These are heartbreaking words from my own father.

Xiao Hezhou held his forehead and smiled bitterly, and Song chuckled, "Stop pretending here, don't you see your sister is enjoying the show!"

Song pouted in Xiao Tingyun's direction, and Xiao Hezhou raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Tingyun paused while drinking his tea and watching the show, pretending to be innocent, "I didn't hear anything."

Naturally, Xiao Hezhou would not have any prejudice against his own sister.

He patted her head with amusement and dug a hole for her, "Third brother is gone, you stay with father and mother, remember to tell mother about your great achievements in throwing pots."

Song and Xiao Huanshan looked at Xiao Tingyun in confusion, "Tou Hu?"

Xiao Hezhou said meaningfully, "Just ask Ah Yun and you'll know. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Tingyun nodded and said seriously, "Third brother, go ahead."

After thinking for a while, he said, "I hope that Third Brother can find Third Sister-in-law today, which will be worthy of the beautiful scenery of Qixi Festival."

Xiao Hezhou paused as he stood up and forced a smile, "You..."

Xiao Tingyun blinked and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ? ?

As expected, Song recited a few words about choosing a wife for him after he passed the imperial examination in autumn.

Xiao Hezhou felt a headache after hearing this, so he had to beg for mercy, saying that a classmate had invited him.

He left in a hurry, and before leaving, he did not forget to give Xiao Tingyun a resentful look.

Xiao Tingyun gave him a sweet smile in return.

Song naturally understood her daughter's thoughts and asked with a smile, "What a joke! Why are you teasing your third brother?"

Xiao Tingyun's eyes rolled around, "It's just a courtesy."

"It seems like you've caused a lot of trouble for people in Jiangnan." Xiao Huanshan leaned close to his daughter and complained in a low voice.

Xiao Tingyun also approached his father, "I'm obviously very well behaved, father, please don't wrongly accuse me!"

Two heads, one big and one small, came close together, thinking they were whispering, but in fact they were both in front of Song.

Song stared at the two men, speechless.

The husband appears calm and reliable outside, but when he is with his daughter, he suddenly becomes very childish.

He still has a childlike innocence!

If Song knew how her grandfather Xiao Qu looked in front of Xiao Tingyun, she would probably be even more shocked.

Xiao Tingyun sat with his parents for a long time, and it was already late.

The evening is the most lively part and also the highlight of Chinese Valentine's Day.

After dinner, the group started to visit the night market and guess riddles. Xiao Huanshan reminded them to be careful. After agreeing on a time, they dispersed and went their separate ways.

Xiao Tingqi took a fancy to a lantern with a carp jumping over a door and ran over excitedly to buy it.

Unfortunately, the boss said that he only wanted to guess the riddles and would not sell the lanterns. If you guessed correctly, you could take the lanterns away.

"Well, you come up with the questions."

The boss said, "There is a fish in the East China Sea, it has no head and no tail. Remove the spine and that is your riddle! Please guess it, girl."

Although Xiao Tingqi was not very knowledgeable, he thought about the answer to the riddle for a while and said happily, "I know! It's the day!"

"鱼" has no head or tail, and becomes the character "田". If you remove the spine, it becomes "日"!

The boss said with relief, "Miss, you guessed right. This lantern is yours."

Xiao Tingqi happily took the lantern, turned it around and around, wanting to give it to Xiao Tingxue.

She remembered that she had a carp lantern before, but it was accidentally broken. This one was very similar to the previous one, and the person disappeared when she turned around.

His joy suddenly dropped by five points, and he frowned and cursed, "How come he disappeared all of a sudden!!"

Meixiang tried to smooth things over, "I guess Miss Four wants to see other things, so she left first."

Xiao Tingqi snorted coldly, threw the lamp in his hand to the maid, and then turned to look at other lamps.

This time, Xiao Tingyun was followed only by the three-member group from Shuyu Tower.

The evening was particularly lively, with many young men and women holding a lot of flowers in their hands.

Xiao Tingyun also bought an unopened lotus with water droplets on it.

When you smell it up close, you can smell a faint fragrance.

"Miss! There are so many people here, I can hardly keep up with them all!" Lanzhi opened her eyes wide and looked around excitedly.

Xiao Tingyun nodded, "Buy whatever you want, I'll pay you today!"

"Ahhhhhh...Miss, you are so nice!!!" Lanzhi became even more excited. As soon as she finished speaking, she shouted to the man selling candied haws, "Give me five strings of candied haws!!"

Xiao Tingyun: ...Can't you have some pursuit? ?

"Don't be polite, both of you. Your young lady has money, so don't worry!" Xiao Tingyun said domineeringly.

Luzhi and Caixing nodded immediately, because they knew that their young lady was rich! I definitely won’t save her any money!

Cai Xing directly said to Xiao Tingyun, "Miss, I want to build a set of personal weapons for self-defense!"

He also brought out the picture he had drawn and showed it to Xiao Tingyun.

Xiao Tingyun was very interested in it. He took it and looked at it carefully. He thought it was very interesting. "Your painting is very good! Especially this sleeve needle, it feels very delicate!"

Cai Xing suddenly felt like she had found a confidant. Ever since she lost to Li Ming last time, she felt that it was the other party's constraints that led to her defeat!

If this kind of situation happens again in the future, then protecting the young lady will become empty talk, right? !

So she started from other places and designed this set of pictures.

"Miss, do you think it's good? You can also carry this set of sleeve needles with you, just in case!"

Xiao Tingyun's eyes lit up, "Not bad! I will definitely support you on this."

Then he thought that it might be hard to find a master who could make this hidden weapon. "Do you know who can make this thing?"

Caixing asked about it when she was free, and it turned out that it was indeed not something that an ordinary master could accomplish. She was really confused for a while.

"It's okay. There's no rush. We can slowly find a master to make it for us when we get back."

Xiao Tingyun asked her to keep the map away, but Caixing said she would give it to her, after all, Caixing herself had no idea.

Xiao Tingyun thought about it and didn't refuse. He asked Luzhi if she wanted to buy anything.

At this time, Lanzhi ran back, holding five strings of candied haws in her hand, looking at Xiao Tingyun with bright eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

Xiao Tingyun nodded helplessly, "How much silver?"

Lanzhi immediately said, "Thirty cents!"

Xiao Tingyun took out a golden melon seed from his purse and said, "Here you go!"

“Ahhh…” Lanzhi jumped up and down with joy, and the candied haws swayed back and forth.

Seeing Xiao Tingyun tremble with fear, Lanzhi carefully took back the golden melon seeds and asked Xiao Tingyun, "Miss, do you want to eat it? It's delicious!"

Xiao Tingyun shook his head, "You eat it."

"Then I won't be polite!" Lanzhi bit off a hawthorn in one bite, and her eyes narrowed with delight.

Completely forgetting the green branches and stars around me.

Luzhi and Caixing had long been accustomed to Lanzhi, the little foodie, and were not surprised at all.

Luzhi only said that she wanted to buy a lantern, and Xiao Tingyun easily fulfilled her wish.

As a result, just after I finished the purchase, I ran into a young man.
