Therefore, Xiao Hechuan had to find someone he liked and then compete for her with him.
In the south and east of the city, pearls have always been as valuable as dirt and gold as precious as iron. In order to compete with each other, the prizes offered by the various restaurants are naturally not ordinary things.
Xiao Hechuan fell in love with it at first sight. It was the prize of Yuelai Restaurant, a lace hairpin with a golden phoenix, which looked like it was worth at least ten taels of gold. It was quite a large sum of money.
However, the prize is high and the puzzle is not easy, so many people are stumped.
Xiao Hechuan pulled Jiang Sui into the crowd and kept his arm around her to prevent her from coming into contact with others. He was very considerate.
Wow, Xiao Hechuan really understands Jiang Sui. As soon as this girl saw the glittering golden lace golden phoenix hairpin on the exhibition stand, she couldn't take her eyes away.
Who can resist gold?
What are you saying? Gold is tacky. Gold is obviously the most fashionable and secure thing in the world!
"Wow, what a beautiful hairpin!"
Now, her appeal is finally back on track.
"Want it?" he asked.
Jiang Sui nodded his head rapidly, looking at him expectantly. Xiao Hechuan was no longer sleepy at this moment, and immediately perked up his attention to look at the puzzle:
The riddle is: The spring lights are bright and the night is new with drizzle, the restaurants and flower markets are full of spring, the gentle breeze is about to move the moon in thousands of doors, and people from all directions are drunk! ----Guess a food!
At first glance, this poem seems quite meaningful, so the people trying to solve the riddle mentioned all those elegant and rare foods, but in the end no one guessed the riddle correctly.
Even when Xiao Hechuan saw this riddle, he was stunned for a moment. He thought about it for a while, and then gave an answer that no one expected, but his tone was a little doubtful.
"Could it be a crab?"
When everyone heard this, they all sighed, and some even laughed:
"How could the answer to such an elegant and meaningful riddle be crab? I'm afraid you guessed wrong!"
"That's right, how could it be a crab? Absolutely impossible!"
Facing everyone's doubts, Xiao Hechuan remained calm, but Jiang Sui felt that it was not impossible, and sometimes the results were unexpected.
The shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant was in charge of the situation. When he heard Xiao Hechuan's answer, he just smiled faintly and stroked his beard. Everyone was talking among themselves, and many people were waiting to hear the shopkeeper's decision.
"Shopkeeper, please tell me quickly, is this young master's guess correct?"
In fact, no one had any hope and urged him to speak quickly just to make it easier for others to continue guessing. Each person only had three chances, and many people had already used up their chances, but they also wanted to know who would win the beautiful lace golden phoenix step-shake.
The shopkeeper finally stopped keeping the secret and turned around to pick up the lace golden phoenix hairpin from the box and walked in front of Xiao Hechuan and Jiang Sui:
"Congratulations, young master. This lace golden phoenix hairpin is yours. A golden hairpin goes well with a beautiful woman. This hairpin is a perfect match for your wife!"
In Daqing, except for the dragon totem, the phoenix and peacock can be used without committing the crime of disrespect. However, there is one thing: only the principal wife is eligible to wear clothes and jewelry with the phoenix totem.
Jiang Sui was his original wife, so naturally she was a good match for him.
The shopkeeper's action caused an uproar among the crowd. They didn't expect that the answer to the riddle was really crab?
I never expected this!
Those who didn't guess correctly all regretted it very much. They would have done the opposite if they had known earlier.
Xiao Hechuan handed the hairpin to Jiang Sui with both hands. Jiang Sui smiled so sweetly. He wanted to put it on her directly, but her outfit today did not match the hairpin, so he simply asked the shopkeeper to bring a box to put it in.
Jiang Sui is not used to wearing such a flashy golden hairpin when walking around the city. Wealth should not be shown to others. Although Jeju is an economic and transportation fortress, it is not as good as Kyoto, the capital under the feet of the emperor, and there are still many villains there.
Someone couldn't help but be curious and asked Xiao Hechuan how he knew it was a crab. Xiao Hechuan just smiled and said nothing. Everything was said without words.
Now that he had everything, he couldn't stay here any longer, so he wanted to take Jiang Sui to look for the next target. But then the restaurant owner said:
"We happen to have fresh crabs tonight at Yuelai Restaurant, the kind with roe. If there are any guests interested, please take a seat inside. There are not many fat crabs, so first come, first served!"
Oh, it’s really a business, it’s all linked together, what a great marketing method!
Jiang Sui couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this gimmick was really well done.
What season is it now? It is said that August and September are the best seasons for eating crabs, which are delicious and plump. But they can still get crabs with roe in this season. The price must be expensive, right?
They are really good at making trouble. Jiang Sui couldn't help but want to go in and find out what's going on.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked:
"Boss, please don't lie to us. Where can we get crab roe at this time of year? If we go there and don't get the roe, I won't pay you."
"Of course. Today is New Year's Eve and everyone is celebrating. There will be no cheating. If there is even one crab without roe, the whole table will be free of charge. That's what I say!" The shopkeeper made the bold statement very confidently.
Since he said so, Jiang Sui couldn't sit still anymore. She was determined to join in the fun today.
"It's limited. Let's go too. Since we're here, let's join in the fun before we leave!"
Jiang Sui didn't say anything, took Xiao Hechuan's hand and walked inside while talking, looking very excited.
In fact, she thought that it was so easy to take such a big golden hairpin, so she should at least take care of the business. Besides, she had never eaten crabs since she came here, so she was really greedy.
Hearing this, Xiao Hechuan just smiled dotingly and let her pull him into Yuelai Restaurant. After entering, he looked around for a seat, fearing that he would be late and miss out on the crabs.
At this moment, many people came for the crabs and they all squeezed in. He silently blocked her from contact with others from behind and protected her tightly.
Little did they know that when the two of them appeared in front of Yuelai Restaurant, Ye Shu, who was sitting in a private room upstairs and quietly watching the lively lantern festival below, had her eyes red with jealousy.
Today is Jeju's five-yearly Lantern Festival, and she came out to join in the fun. Although she felt that the excitement had nothing to do with her, she still came.
She couldn't wander around like these people, so she could only find a place with a wide view to sit down. Unexpectedly, she met Xiao Hechuan and his wife.
The loving look between them hurt her eyes, and her damn paranoia was aroused again. Coupled with her extreme hatred for Jiang Sui, she followed Jiang Sui with a resentful look, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.
She regarded Jiang Sui as a thorn in her side, and felt from the bottom of her heart that she was the obstacle between her and Xiao Hechuan.
Tonight, with such a good opportunity, it’s time to take revenge!
