Chapter 42 Mo Xiang Ling
"Miss Yuan Er is too modest!" Miss Fang and others said with a smile!
There were many lanterns of various kinds hanging in front of Yanxiangzhai's shop. Before the shop owner announced the start of the event, everyone gathered in front of the shop, looking at the riddles or couplets on the lanterns, secretly thinking about the answers.
More and more people gathered around. Seeing that the crowd was almost full, the shopkeeper of Yanxiangzhai came out with a smile and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Hu, and I am the shopkeeper of Yanxiangzhai. This year, in order to cheer you up during the Lantern Festival, we have specially organized this Moxiang Order."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Hu pointed to the various lanterns in front of the shop and said with a smile, "There are a hundred lanterns here, each with a riddle or a couplet. Whoever can guess the answer or write the couplet will receive a prize from Yanxiangzhai!"
"Shopkeeper Hu, you don't know what the prize is?" After hearing what Shopkeeper Hu said, someone in the crowd asked with a smile.
"Yes, what is the prize?" someone continued. "If it's something needlework, we don't want it!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone started laughing!
Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said, "Since we at Yanxiangzhai have issued this Moxiang Order, we will naturally not be stingy. Let me show you the prizes first."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Hu clapped his hands!
Then two waiters came out, each carrying a large tray covered with red silk cloth.
Shopkeeper Hu lifted the silk cloth on one of the trays, revealing the contents of the tray!
There was only a stack of rice paper and a few ordinary inkstones on the tray.
Seeing these things, someone asked: "Is this the prize? It's not attractive enough!"
"Of course not all of them!" Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile, "As you can see, among the lanterns in our Yanxiangzhai, there are three beauty lanterns. If anyone guesses the other lanterns correctly, they can choose one from this tray, either a piece of rice paper or an inkstone. Of course, the one who guesses first gets to choose first."
"What if you guess the beauty lamp correctly?"
"If you guess the beauty lamp correctly, the prize will naturally be more valuable!" Shopkeeper Hu said, and took down the silk cloth on the tray on the other side!
As soon as the contents of the tray were revealed, everyone exclaimed in surprise!
There was an inkstone, an ink stick and a brush on the tray.
The most important thing is that the inkstone is actually a Duan inkstone, and the ink stick is Hui ink with gold outlines. As for the brush, it is actually a purple-haired Hu brush!
Such prizes can definitely be called valuable. No matter which of these three things is taken out individually, they are all worth a lot of money.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you guys are spending a lot of money on this!" someone in the crowd laughed.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Hu smiled and said, "To be honest, we at Yanxiangzhai can't afford these three prizes. Naturally, we have a noble person helping us. As for who that noble person is, I'm sorry I can't tell you. All we know is that if you can guess the riddle or the couplet on the beauty lantern, you can take the prize away!"
"really?"
"nature!"
After receiving the affirmation from Shopkeeper Hu, everyone became excited. Some who were proud of their talents and learning gathered around the Beauty Lantern, nodding their heads and muttering in deep thought. However, more people, after looking at the Beauty Lantern and pondering for a while, sighed and went to look at other lanterns!
For a moment, the entire Yanxiangzhai shop was bustling with people.
"Second Miss Yuan!" Miss Fang said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile, "The riddle and couplet on the beauty lantern are both extremely ingenious. We've been looking at them for a long time but still have no clue. I wonder if Second Miss Yuan has the answer?"
"These riddles and couplets are really ingenious!" Yuan Ziyu glanced at Yuan Zitong, who was pretending to look at the lanterns and think, and said to the other girl with a smile!
"That's right!" Miss Liu Qi also said with a smile: "Miss Yuan Da said that Miss Yuan Er is both talented and beautiful, so she is not lying. Although Miss Yuan Er is young, her appearance is indeed outstanding. I think her talent is not inferior to her appearance!"
"I just returned to the capital, and my eldest sister wanted me to get to know everyone as soon as possible, so she naturally praised me!" Yuan Ziyu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just that I'm not very talented and knowledgeable, so I'm afraid I'll disappoint the girls!"
"We all know Miss Yuan Da. She's very gentle and kind, so she wouldn't lie. Miss Yuan Er, there's no need to be so modest!" Miss Chen San continued with a smile, "Let's think of the answer quickly, otherwise the prize will be taken by someone else."
Yuan Ziyu smiled without saying anything, turned her head and looked at the three beauty lamps. She naturally knew the answer long ago!
At this time, in a room opposite Yanxiangzhai, Ji Huaixuan and Xuan Shaoqing were standing by the window, looking at the increasing number of people in front of Yanxiangzhai.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at what you brought out, how attractive!" Ji Huaixuan exclaimed in amazement: "It is true that money can move people's hearts!"
"It's just human nature!" Xuan Shaoqing said lightly!
"Hey, Prince Xuan, since you've taken out such a valuable item, why don't you let others know?" Ji Huaixuan looked at Xuan Shaoqing teasingly, "Are you afraid that Prince Su will find out and beat you up?"
"Why, are you curious?" Xuan Shaoqing glanced at Ji Huaixuan.
Ji Huaixuan snorted, "How can I not be curious? You're a dignified prince of the Su family, yet you've given up on a bright future and chosen to do business? You're throwing money away like snowflakes. If I were the Su prince, I'd beat you up eight times a day."
"You can do business, but I can't?"
"How are you and I the same?" Ji Huaixuan opened his eyes wide. "I have my elder brother and my second brother, but you are the only one in the Prince Su's Mansion. The Prince Su's Mansion will depend on you in the future! You should pull your mind back."
When Ji Huaixuan saw no response from Xuan Shaoqing after he finished speaking, he said, "My eldest son, I've been so worried about you. You said you're already twenty-one and you won't marry or enter the court... Hey, what are you looking at?"
Ji Huaixuan found that Xuan Shaoqing didn't seem to be listening to him, so he followed his gaze and looked over curiously!
What caught his eye was a bustling crowd, which made Ji Huaixuan confused. He didn't know what had caught Xuan Shaoqing's attention.
"Hey, I say, you..." Ji Huaixuan couldn't help but ask!
"Let's go to Yanxiangzhai!" Xuan Shaoqing said, turned around and walked out of the room!
He didn't expect to see Yuan Ziyu again. Watching her carefully studying the three beauty lamps, Xuan Shaoqing felt a little moved and wanted to know if she could come up with an answer.
"Hey, what happened to your master?" Xuan Shaoqing grabbed Yinfeng who was about to follow him out and asked.
Yinfeng shook his head at Ji Huaixuan, then hurriedly followed Xuan Shaoqing out!
Ji Huaixuan couldn't help stamping his feet: "As expected, like master, like servant. How come all of them are so cold!"
Seeing this, Ji Huaixuan's servant Ba Jiao hurriedly asked, "Sir, why don't we follow them?"
"Follow, why not?" Ji Huaixuan snorted, "How could I become friends with such an iceberg!"
