Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 71: Riddles (Part )

But Da Xia and Er Xia still chose a wooden hairpin each, since they could use them when they grow up.

After paying the money and thanking the busy stall owner, the girls left happily.

Looking at the light golden sunset, Lai Di urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, take the time to go shopping, we have to go back soon."

Daya said, "It's okay. Just for our hair, I am very satisfied with the Lantern Festival today."

"Me too." Xiaoxiang shook her head slightly and said happily.

Others also agreed that with such a beautiful bun, they felt it was worth it even if they didn't go to the Lantern Festival.

Only Song Yuan was waiting in boredom, and even secretly regretted that he should have followed his brother Song Tian.

The sky gradually darkened and some lanterns lit up. Everyone was even happier. They didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

Lai Di pointed at a lit lantern and said cheerfully, "Hey, I wanted to see the lantern light up, and it's lit up now!"

The girls became even more excited and watched the lit lanterns one by one.

Daya suddenly thought of something and said, "I heard that Jin Man Lou had the most and most unique lanterns last year. Let's go and take a look."

"What are we waiting for? Let's run!" Lai Di became even more excited and pulled Daya towards Jin Manlou.

"Hey, let me go, I haven't held my brother's hand yet! Song Yuan! Song Yuan!" Daya turned back anxiously.

Lai Di slowed down and shouted, "Little vegetable gardener, hurry up and catch up."

Song Yuan ran forward, grabbed Daya's hand, and complained, "Sister Lai Di, do you want to abandon me?"

Lai Di made a face at him.

The girls laughed and ran along, not being cautious for the first time in the city.

After turning a corner, you can see the entrance of Jinmanlou from afar. There is a tall platform standing on the ground, and the wooden racks on both sides are hung with lighted lanterns.

"As expected of a jewellery businessman, you are so wealthy that you have lit up all the lanterns so early!"

There were not many people in front of the platform at this time. Daya saw two familiar faces at a glance, Yuan Qing from Wutong Village and his sister Yuan Shan. Yuan Shan was holding a cute jade rabbit lantern in her hand.

Not only her, but others also saw it.

"Hey, isn't this Yuan Qing, the student from Wutong Village who is very good at studying?" Zhao Xiaocui was the first to speak out in surprise.

Hearing his name, Yuan Qing turned around and said with a smile, "It's you."

In fact, he didn't recognize the girls in Xinghua Village very well, but he knew Daya, Lai Di and Xiaoxiang, so he naturally guessed the identities of the others.

"Wow, your hair buns are so beautiful!" His sister Yuan Shan was immediately attracted by Daya and the others' beautiful hair buns.

Lai Di shook her head and said proudly, "Hey, a sister selling wooden hairpins over there helped us comb our hair. We only need to buy a hairpin."

As she spoke, she pointed to the Ruyi wooden hairpin in her hair and said, "It only costs 10 coins. Isn't it a good deal?"

"Yeah!" Yuan Shan nodded desperately and asked anxiously, "Where exactly is it? I'll go find her to help me comb my hair."

After saying this, he turned to look at his brother, anxiously and expectantly: "Brother, do you have 10 cents?"

Yuan Qing pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes."

Yuan Shan smiled and turned to look at Lai Di and the others again, waiting for them to tell her the specific location of the wooden hairpin stall.

Daya said regretfully, "It might be too late for you to go there now. Many girls are waiting, and it's dark now. You can't see them, so I guess you won't be able to comb many of them."

Yuan Shan's face fell, she was very disappointed, "We should have walked that street just now."

Yuan Qing comforted her: "When we go back later, we will ask the stall owner when she will set up her stall next time. I will bring you there then."

Yuan Shan became excited again.

This made other girls very envious, especially those who have older brothers at home.

Zhao Xiaocui was always direct, and she immediately said to Yuan Shan: "Your brother is so good to you."

The disappointment of not being able to comb her hair into a beautiful bun was swept away. Yuan Shan raised her head and said proudly: "Of course, my brother is the best brother in the world!"

Erni also looked envious: "When I was little, I wanted to come to the Lantern Festival and asked my brother to bring me along, but he refused, saying he didn't want to bring a little girl along."

Hearing this, Yuan Shan felt very sympathetic. "My grandmother and her family also favor boys over girls, but my brother loves me. Every morning, he would secretly share half of the eggs with me. My brother has money, so he would also secretly buy me delicious food."

Daya and others were even more envious, thinking what a great brother he was.

Yuan Qing felt a little embarrassed to be praised by the girls, and quickly changed the subject, "Aren't we here to visit the Lantern Festival? Hurry up and take a look. We have to go back soon."

The girls then suppressed their envy and regret deep in their hearts and hurried to enjoy the lanterns.

The Qinhuai lanterns shaped like lotus flowers, the fish lanterns symbolizing abundance every year, the cute rabbit lanterns, the simple and plain oil paper lanterns, the exquisite hexagonal lanterns decorated with tassels...

At first glance, there were all kinds of lanterns, which made Daya dazzled. She stopped in front of a hexagonal lantern with tassels on both sides and a painting of a galloping horse on the lamp surface, and looked at it carefully.

A friendly waiter came over and asked cheerfully, "Little girl, do you want to guess the lantern riddles?"

"I don't know how to guess riddles." Daya waved her hands quickly.

At this time, Yuan Qing came over and said, "If you like this lamp, I can try it."

Daya's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately: "I like it!"

This lamp is very beautifully made. The light gray-blue lamp surface is cut from silk, making the light hazy and dreamy.

Yuan Qing took out the slip of paper from under the lamp and opened it. On it were written: Go and come back in the wind, geese fly in a slanting formation in front of the peak, hit a flower.

"Remove the inside of the word 风 and combine it with the word 又, and you get the word 凤. The word 峰 is preceded by 山, and the line of geese often forms a human shape, and the human shape is tilted to form a single person. Put them together and you get 仙. The answer is 凤红花!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and praised repeatedly, "Young master, you have a quick mind."

Yuan Qing said modestly: "There are many famous scholars and talented people today. I don't dare to say that I have a quick mind with my limited knowledge."

The waiter smiled and said, "Young master, you are too modest. Many people have liked this lamp. Several people have tried to guess it just now, but none of them guessed it correctly at the first try. Young master, you are so young, you must be very smart."

Yuan Shan, who was showing off the rabbit lantern to Da Xia and Er Xia, ran over like the wind, hugged Yuan Qing's arm, and said proudly: "Of course, my brother's academic performance has always been top in the school."

"Xiaoshan." Yuan Qing gently stopped her, took out the exquisite revolving lantern and handed it to Daya.

Seeing Daya taking the lantern, Song Yuan quickly grabbed the corner of Yuan Qing's sleeve and said hastily, "Brother Yuan Qing, I want one too! I want one too!"

Yuan Qing bent down slightly and asked with a smile: "Which one do you want?"

Song Yuan turned his head and looked around, and made a quick decision: "Well, let's go with the koi lantern!"

As he said that, he wanted to pull Yuan Qing over.

With the comparison, Yuan Shan suddenly felt that her Jade Rabbit Lantern was not so cute. She immediately pulled Yuan Qing and pointed at the lantern in Daya's hand and said, "Brother, I want this lantern too."
