Chapter 360: Guess the Lantern Riddle

The Fang family’s bowls are not small.

After eating half a bowl of rice, she was already 90% full.

The remaining one point will be given to Tanghulu.

"Come here, little kid, I'll give it to you first." As soon as he finished speaking, the old man handed over a string of candied haws.

There are eight on it.

Jiang Fubao felt it was heavy when he received it in his hand.

She licked it.

The sugar on the outside of the candied haws has frozen hard and tastes a bit sweet, but when you take a bite, the hawthorn tastes quite sour.

The balance of the two makes the dish taste doubly delicious.

The other children also got the candied haws one after another.

So they started walking forward again.

As we walked around, we reached the middle of the lantern festival and saw more and more people wearing masks.

It adds a sense of mystery to the lantern festival.

Some of these masks are half-face and some are full-face.

Most of them are made of wood.

There are various patterns drawn on it.

There are animals and gods.

There were also many people carrying lanterns.

Compared with the ordinary lanterns sold by small vendors, the rabbit lanterns carried by two women were particularly beautiful.

Jiang Fubao couldn't take his eyes off it.

Is this the rabbit lantern that my sister mentioned?

It’s so realistic.

"Brother, I want that lantern." Fang Wanru also took a fancy to it.

She started to act coquettishly towards her brother.

"If you can buy them, you wouldn't have come here and only seen two. You probably got them by guessing the lanterns. Come on, they should be in front. I'll get one for you."

Fang Changyi, who is well-educated, is eager to show off his skills and make his sisters admire him.

However, the group arrived at the place where the lantern riddle was guessed.

I was stunned.

The place was crowded with people, but the tall wooden racks were filled with lanterns, and no one could get them.

"You guessed wrong!" said the man guarding the lanterns.

There were sighs from the crowd.

"Why is this year's lantern puzzle so difficult?"

"Yeah, I've been standing there for 25 minutes, and I haven't seen anyone answer correctly."

"My wife wants that rabbit lantern, but unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge."

"These lanterns were made by craftsmen invited from the Imperial City and Jiangnan. Of course, they are not easy to come by, so the lantern riddle is more difficult than before. Until now, only two people have guessed correctly. There are still more than 20 lanterns here. I don't know who will guess it next."

The man who watched the longest gave them the answer.

At this time, Jiang Fubao was already dazzled.

Wow.

Why were the lanterns in ancient times so beautiful? There were lanterns in the shape of rabbits, fish, birds, lotus, shrimps, cranes and crabs.

No wonder those ladies who visit lantern festivals in novels.

They would fight over a lantern.

Who doesn't want it?

Jiang Fubao couldn't even walk.

Unfortunately, Fang Changyi squeezed in the innermost part and guessed twice in a row, but failed to guess correctly both times.

When he came out, he was extremely disappointed.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have brought my uncle here. My uncle is the smartest." Jiang Fubao sighed as he stood in the crowd.

"You kid, your grandpa is useless even if he comes. Just now, a scholar didn't guess it right. Could it be that your grandpa is a prostitute?"

A scholar who looked to be in his twenties and holding a folding fan mocked Jiang Fubao.

"Yes, my grandfather is a pervert." Jiang Fubao didn't hear it and thought the man was asking her sincerely.

"Uh." The man felt a little embarrassed. He opened his folding fan, fanned himself a bit, then felt cold again, so he simply turned around and left.

As soon as he left, the people around him also felt bored and left.

There is a vacant space.

Zhang Jinlan and Yunlan took them and took the opportunity to squeeze over.

"Auntie, please help us guess the lantern riddle." Jiang Fubao thought.

Among them, only Aunt Yunlan is smarter.

If she can't guess.

That's no hope.

"Okay, Auntie, guess what it is." Yun Lan also became interested.

She shouted to the person guarding the lantern.

The man came over.

Not many people guessed correctly, so in order not to waste time, he didn't say anything and just revealed the riddle.

"There is something that you can usually get with your left hand, but not with your right hand. Why is that?"

As soon as these words came out.

Jiang Fubao was confused.

Is this a lamp puzzle? Isn't this a brain teaser?

"I can reach it with my left hand, but not with my right? Could it be that... my right arm is missing?"

Yun Lan was also stunned.

This was the first time she had heard this lamp riddle.

"mistaken."

The man's expression never changed. After saying something wrong, he turned around and was about to go to the other side, where someone called him.

"There is something that you can usually get with your left hand, but you can't get with your right hand. What is it——"

The exact same words echoed over there.

"Because he is paralyzed!"

“Hahahahahaha, this is so funny—”

Many people who were watching the excitement laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

But when I think about it, it makes sense.

So countless pairs of eyes looked at the guard in front of them expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"mistaken!"

The guard still had a stern face. After he finished speaking coldly, he folded his hands over his chest.

Stand straight.

Stand in front of the lantern.

"I know, I know!"

Jiang Fubao raised his arms.

Jumping and skipping.

She is too short.

Although she has grown taller, no one would notice her unless she jumped up.

Sure enough, the man guarding the lantern searched for a long time before he found Jiang Fubao.

It’s the same old saying, say it out loud.

Everyone around was thinking.

Jiang Fubao did not hesitate for a second and said loudly: "Because this thing belongs to the right hand, the right hand can't reach the right hand!"

"Oh, so that's how it is, no wonder!"

"This kid looks to be only about 4 or 5 years old, how come he is so smart?"

"Is it really the right hand? I feel it is right, but also wrong."

"Excuse me, is this correct?"

Many people in the crowd exclaimed.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. You can choose any one of these lanterns." The guard was stunned for a moment, then smiled the next second.

Congratulations to Jiang Fubao.

Zhang Jinlan's eyes widened.

Her granddaughter is so smart?

Yunlan and several children also looked at her.

Fang Changyi guessed twice but failed, but five-year-old Jiang Fubao guessed it right the first time.

It's so embarrassing.

Fang Changyi's face flushed.

Yunlan is fine.

She looked at Jiang Fubao with admiration and surprise.

"Uncle, I want that rabbit lantern." Jiang Fubao said, pointing at the pink rabbit lantern hanging at the highest point.

She thinks this lantern is the most beautiful of all the rabbit lanterns.

"Okay." The guard took down the rabbit lantern and handed it to her.

But Jiang Fubao transferred it to Fang Wanru the next second.

"Sister Fubao, what is this? You, you don't have to give it to me, just take it and play with it, I'm fine." Fang Wanru didn't have the nerve to ask for it, so she refused.

"It's okay, it's okay. Since sister Wanru likes rabbits, I'll give you the first one and I'll guess next." Seeing her refuse, Jiang Fubao's domineering president took over.

Put it directly into her hand.
