A lantern riddle guessing session is also arranged, with a variety of prizes, which is sure to attract a lot of people.
In the afternoon, she originally wanted to ask Shen Li to help write riddles, but he was picked up by his friends early. Seeing that Shen Mo was at home, she brought him to the shop to help.
But it was also thanks to Shen Mo that she copied a lot of riddles and poems. If it were someone else, they would definitely be suspicious.
But Shen Mo already knew it, so Lin Wanwan simply gave him the copybook and asked him to write it down.
Shen Mo didn't ask any more questions, he just flipped through it and looked at it, then said, "Your handwriting is really ugly."
Lin Wanwan was so angry that she turned around and left, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Seeing this, Shen Mo hurriedly grabbed her. Lin Wanwan thought he wanted to apologize, but he said, "I don't know what this word is. What is it?"
Lin Wanwan suddenly became even more angry and said, "You can go by yourself if you want to!"
Shen Mo sighed and had to study it carefully.
By the time all the lanterns were finished, the sky was gradually getting dark.
Lin Huzi ran over to find Shen Mo, took him to meet up with Shi Tou and the others, and went for a walk.
"Where are Yusheng and Shitou?"
"They are guessing lantern riddles at Wanfulou and asked me to come and call you. This year's lantern riddles are a bit difficult."
Shen Mo nodded, looked at the lanterns on the ground, and called Lin Wanwan.
"I want to try to guess, too."
She remembered that there was no answer in the notebook, so she said, "On the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, guess one word."
Shen Mo thought for a while and said, "It's Yue!"
"Spring is all over the garden on the fifteenth night. Guess an idiom!"
"The flowers are in full bloom."
"Eating Zongzi during the Mid-Autumn Festival, guess an idiom."
"Different?"
"The most difficult meal to cook is an idiom."
"You can't cook without rice."
"Two, four, six, eight, ten, guess an idiom."
“It’s not unique.”
"Half farming, half reading, and half typing."
"Let me think...speak?"
"Eighty-eight, guess an idiom!"
This was a little hard to think about, and Lin Wanwan felt that she had finally stumped him.
Unexpectedly, he said slowly: "It penetrates deeply into the wood!"
Lin Wanwan exclaimed: "How did you guess that?"
"Ru is equivalent to eight, Mu is equivalent to eighteen, and eighty-eight is equivalent to dividing Ru and Mu into three parts."
Seeing his smug look, Lin Wanwan stuffed a lantern into his hand and dismissed him, "Alright, alright, go play somewhere else and save some money for me!"
Seeing this, Hu Zi at the side stammered, "Give him something else. This lantern can't... um..."
Shen Mo pulled him over and said to Lin Wanwan, "Okay, let's go somewhere else."
"Ugh! What! You are not doing this!"
Lin Huzi covered his mouth and kept sticking out his tongue. It took him a long time to recover.
"Shen Mo! Why did you suddenly pull me? I'm biting my tongue!"
Shen Mo held him and walked a long way away.
Hu Zi couldn't help but said, "Shen Mo, why don't you explain it clearly to Lin Wan! How can you give this lantern girl away so easily!"
Shen Mo glanced at him and said calmly, "This is the prize I won, it doesn't count as a gift from her."
"Oh, no, no, you didn't participate in the lantern riddle guessing, so it's not a prize."
"She asked me to guess, and I got it right, so why doesn't it count?"
"Hey!"
Hu Zi found that he couldn't refute anything and stared at him.
"Okay, give this to me and go and guess a few more!"
Hu Zi raised his hand to grab the lantern from his hand, but Shen Mo dodged it easily.
"If you want, guess it yourself. This is my bet."
Hu Zi still stared at him and said quietly: "Shen Mo, when did you become so stingy? Didn't you take the initiative to share with us before? Tell me the truth! Did you also..."
He suddenly stopped, clenched his fists, and looked into Shen Mo's eyes as dark as the deep pool. The two of them just looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Hu Zi slowly loosened his blue hands and smiled at himself.
"That's right. Lin Wan is so good, how could you not be tempted? We can't compare to your brother, let alone you, but Lin Wan only has eyes for your brother. Have you thought about it?"
Shen Mo turned around, looked at the small figure in the distance, and murmured: "Let's talk about the future later..."
"Hmph, then we'll just watch how you fight your brother. However, if it's you, we'll definitely stand on your side."
Shen Mo clenched the lantern in his hand and said to him, "Let's go and find Yu Sheng and the others."
"I will have a good talk with them when I see them later! The three of us will take care of you together later!"
"what ever."
Not long after they left, Li Yuying pulled Lin Wanwan over and asked hurriedly, "Where's the first prize lantern? Why can't I find it?"
Lin Wanwan fiddled with the lanterns on the table and asked in confusion, "They are all here, what's the difference?"
"Oh my, of course it's different. It was made by the best chef in the county! He only makes three a year! I asked Zhaocai to send a lot of cakes to place the order! Isn't there a love poem written by Shen Mo on it? Look for it quickly!"
"Ah?" Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered that the lantern she had casually handed to Shen Mo seemed to have a poem on it...
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I think I just gave the lantern to Shen Mo..."
Li Yuying was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
"Wanwan, aren't you interested in Shen Li? Why are you sending a lantern to Shen Mo?"
Lin Wanwan wondered, "Yeah, what does it have to do with what lanterns are given? Is there something particular about the lanterns?"
"Oh!" Li Yuying slapped her head and said in annoyance, "Of course there are rules! During the Lantern Festival here, men will give lanterns to women they like. If the woman likes it, she will accept it. If she doesn't like it, she won't accept it. The same is true in reverse! Women will also give lanterns to men they admire! This first-rate lantern is even more particular, it can be used as a token of love! Oh, you silly girl, why did you give it away so foolishly!"
Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and consoled her, "It's okay, sister-in-law. He guessed the hardest riddles correctly, so I just picked up a lantern and sent him away. It doesn't count as a gift from me, and we didn't even know which lantern was the first prize!"
"Alas... this is the only way. Don't go out and say anything. I'll just find someone else."
Lin Wanwan also sighed. What a mess! Who knew there were so many things to consider? If she had known, she would have given the first prize to Brother Li! Shen Mo got it for nothing. Who knows which girl he will give it to?
