As soon as they hung up the lanterns, they quickly attracted a large crowd of people, including many young and talented students.
There was even one person who was so good that he passed six levels in a row, but failed to solve the seventh level. Sister Yuying smiled and gave him a lantern, a cup of hot milk tea, and a roast duck.
Zhaocai and Jinbao replaced the riddles they had answered and asked everyone to continue guessing.
Lin Wanwan prepared a lot of riddles, enough for them to guess until the lantern festival was over. She sat on the second floor, drinking milk tea and watching them guess the riddles.
There is a little girl who is also very clever and has guessed three riddles correctly.
Zhaocai read out loud: "The ugliness of a person's life is one ear and eight mouths, guess one word."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the little girl also covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hahaha! How ugly must this guy be!"
"Hahahaha, I dare not even think about it, it's scary!"
"That's right, this is too difficult. I can't think of it..."
The little girl pulled the man next to her, frowned and said, "Brother, think about it quickly! I can't think of it!"
Qin Yi also scratched his head and turned to look at Shen Li.
“Brother Shen, I can’t think of it either, think about it quickly!”
Chen Li looked up at Lin Wanwan by the window and did not answer.
Lin Wanwan also saw Chen Li in the crowd and waved to Nan Xi to come forward.
After a while, Nan Xi brought three cups of hot milk tea to them. When she handed the last one to Shen Li, she smiled and said, "Our shopkeeper said that Mr. Shen can answer as many questions as he wants. The first prize is ready for you!"
Shen Li took it and thanked him, then looked at Lin Wanwan with a smile.
Qin Yi also saw Lin Wanwan lying by the window, raised his glass and mouthed thanks.
His sister Qin Rongyue took the bamboo tube and smelled it. Her eyes lit up. She took a sip and was instantly conquered by the sweet and delicious milk tea. She followed her brother's gaze and found that the shopkeeper was a girl! Well, it would be nice to be her sister-in-law. She happily shook the bamboo tube towards Lin Wanwan.
Chen Li smiled and said to Zhao Cai: "The fourth level is the position of position, right?"
"That's right! It's a job! The fifth level, add a member to the family, and write a word."
Shen Li looked at the two of them, and seeing them scratching their heads, he continued, "It's Qi! The whole family is a household, and adding another mouth is Qi!"
"Haha, you got it right again! Level 6, rowing against the current, guess an idiom."
“Strive to be the best!”
He was also very capable and made it directly to the eighth level, causing people around him to applaud and cheer.
"Master Shen, this ninth level is a bit difficult. Two people fight to break through the sky, ten women work together to make half a field, the eight kings ask me how much land I have, there are a thousand fertile fields on the soil, each of them has a word!"
"Oh, why are there so many?"
"Isn't the shopkeeper trying to prevent us from winning the jackpot?"
"Yeah! It's so difficult!"
Chen Li looked at the handwriting on the lantern, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. It seemed to be Ah Mo's handwriting? He hadn't looked at it carefully just now, but now he saw that it wasn't his handwriting.
"Master Shen, can't you think of it?"
"The answers to these four riddles are about the bond between husband and wife."
"Master Shen, you are so amazing! There is only one level left! The tenth level, there is no end to the principles of destiny and human merit, it is hard to have merit without luck. Why is there so much chaos all day long? It is only because of the different yin and yang numbers. Hit an object."
Chen Li smiled at Qin Yi and shook his head, saying, "Brother Qin, you guys should come. I can't think of anything. I'll go upstairs and wait for your good news!"
"Hey! Brother Shen, don't leave! This is too difficult!"
Chen Li ignored the two siblings and went straight up to the second floor, sitting down opposite Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Brother Li, why don't you answer? I don't believe you can't figure it out."
He poured a cup of tea and drank it all.
"My mouth is a little dry, and I can't think any further. They are the brothers and sisters who want the first prize, so I won't get involved."
Seeing Lin Wanwan looking at him with a smile, Shen Li asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Lin Wanwan lay there and shook her head, "No, I was just thinking, Brother Li, don't you want the first prize?"
"When I was walking outside just now, I heard someone say that Master Yao, who makes lanterns, sent the three best lanterns to Wanfulou, Yunkelou and Baiweiju, but the first prize lantern you hung was ordinary. I'm afraid that the first prize went to Ah Mo, right?"
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she stood up and yelled, "I just picked one up and sent him away! Who knew it was the jackpot! He was messing up my place, I asked a question and he answered it, and you two have almost guessed all the riddles here!"
"Hahahaha! As soon as I saw the handwriting, it looked like it was written by Ah Mo. As expected, since he got the first prize accidentally, I'll save it for next year!"
Lin Wanwan happily sat down next to him and picked up the teapot to add tea for him.
"This year I finally figured out what the first prize lantern looks like, and I will definitely release it separately next year!"
Chen Li smiled and nodded, "There are people making iron flowers by the river this year, don't you want to go out and play for a while?"
"Wait a moment, let me see if Mr. Qin can answer it. After he finishes answering, we can go together, okay?"
"good."
Unfortunately, Qin Yi still didn't come up with an idea, and only got ordinary lanterns and food from Baiweiju. They put the things in the shop and went to walk around the street together.
The county town was brightly lit, and the government also sent people to intensify patrols. Soldiers with knives could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, patrolling all the way outside the county town.
Everyone had a smile on their face, happily strolling around the streets, eating and drinking. Some shopkeepers invited lion dancers and opera singers, but the most popular performance was the iron flower show. They built a high platform in an open area by the river, and everyone stayed away from that side. The three layers inside and outside were full of people.
"Snap!" There was a crisp sound and sparks scattered, lighting up the entire night sky. Scattered stars scattered all over the ground and then lit up again. It was truly a night full of fireworks.
