After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

This little girl is the busiest person in the family. Even though she has studied all day during the day, she is still full of energy, as if studying in the academy and watching the lanterns are two different things.

The shops really put a lot of thought into this day. After all, everyone has lights hanging all over the street, especially on the busiest main street. Everything is brightly lit, and if there is one shop with nothing on, it would be too conspicuous.

Not only are lights hung outside shops, but there are even tall light towers of all kinds.

The shouts of the street vendors were also a bit more festive than usual.

"Selling Yuanxiao, a happy family reunion!"

"A bowl of wontons will warm you up, and both adults and children will be delighted after eating it!"

The family felt the hustle and bustle as soon as they entered the city, but they had to go to Juxianglou first to settle down there for the night and park the ox cart there.

Although Wu Dongjia asked the shopkeeper to reserve a room for them, Fang Tong felt that they still had to settle the bill and pay for the room.

After putting all their things away, they came out of the restaurant and focused on shopping.

"Don't just look at the stalls. Look at the people coming and going. Many of them are holding lanterns. If you see a shop selling lanterns, choose one."

Fang Nanzhi shook his head: "But Dad, I heard that you can win lanterns by guessing lantern riddles today. Why don't we just go and guess the lantern riddles? Maybe we don't have to buy them."

Fang Tong didn't think he could count on him for activities like guessing lantern riddles. However, this year, with his son and daughter around, he thought he might be able to get a lantern for free, so he immediately took his family to the lantern tower.

There are more lanterns on the bottom floor of this lantern tower, and fewer as you go up. The riddles also become more difficult. If you guess correctly, you can take the lantern away.

Fang Nanzhi had seen lantern riddles in a book. When she heard about it, she guessed a few with her teacher and found it very interesting. She didn't expect to see the real thing so soon. She was so excited that she stood at the front of the crowd and stared at the riddles on the lanterns.

Almost all the riddles on the lanterns were made by local scholars. Many of them were written to show off their talents, and some were even professional riddle masters. The purpose was to attract a lot of people, and the more difficult the better.

The simpler ones will be placed at the bottom row, and there will be no repeated riddles.

"Do you have any lanterns you want? I guess I can give them to you!"

Qin Yan sat aside and guessed the answers to several riddles at a glance, but it was useless for him to have so many lanterns, so he just watched his sister play quietly.

If she wanted to guess which lantern it was but couldn't, he would just guess again then.

Fang Yin pointed at a carp lantern and said, "I want that one!"

The lanterns in the bottom row were of the simplest styles. The carp-shaped ones were difficult to make, so Fang Nanzhi could only look up, almost in the middle of the lighthouse.

"Two paintings are big and two paintings are small."

The little girl tilted her head and saw "Guess a word" written on the back.

She stared blankly, many words flashed through her mind, and after a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Carp lantern, carp lantern, I guessed the answer!"

The young man next to the lighthouse heard her shout and looked over with a smile. It turned out to be a little girl. He still asked seriously, "Young lady, can you tell me?"

Fang Nanzhi said in a crisp voice: "Two strokes are big and two are small, two horizontal strokes make a big character, one stroke and one horizontal stroke make a small character, it's 'Qin'!"

The young man laughed and said loudly, "Two large and two small, the answer is the character 'Qin'. Congratulations to this young lady for winning the carp lantern!"

He lifted the lamp with a pole with a hook on the front and handed it to Fang Nanzhi.

This was the first time she guessed the riddle by herself. She was so excited that she handed the lantern back to her second uncle.

Fang Yin was also very happy.

Hey, he has a light, it’s sparkling!

For the little girl, guessing lantern riddles was so addictive that she immediately set her eyes on a lotus-shaped lantern, which was placed in two rows above and below the carp lantern.

The following puzzle is: Don’t say it sooner, don’t say it later.

Also type one word.

"If you don't say it earlier or later, then when will you say it?" the little girl muttered to herself.

Fang Tong added, "Why not say it at this very moment?"

The little girl almost couldn't hold it in: "Dad, can you please do this? If you don't tell me earlier or later, then tell me at noon."

She quickly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Big Brother! I figured out the lotus lantern, too!"

When the other people who were guessing the riddle heard the little girl's movement again, they all looked over curiously, and the young man was also surprised.

"It's a 'Xu'!"

This time she guessed right again, full of confidence, and asked everyone what else they wanted, but Fang Tong and Qin Yan didn't want any. After she gave the lotus lantern to her mother, she thought, let's guess another one.

After looking around, I found that there was a rabbit lamp, but this time the puzzle written on it was much longer.

"It has a face but no mouth, it has feet but no hands, it listens to people and drinks with them."

There is no written word at the end, so you can guess the word or something else.

Fang Nanzhi thought for a moment and decided that this didn't sound like a living thing, so it must be a utensil. There were only a few things in the house that had legs, either a table or a chair, but was it a table or a chair?

What's the difference between a stool and a table? Don't they both have a top and four legs?

While she was daydreaming, she was in a daze and saw the guests looking out from the small building behind her. They were leaning on the windowsill, and there was a railing outside.

The little girl suddenly clapped her hands: "It's the table!"

Sure enough, this time she got the lantern again, and the family finally managed to get out of the crowd.

Qin Yan suddenly asked her, "In the last puzzle, why did you say table? And not chair?"

Fang Nanzhi figured out the puzzle himself and felt very happy.

"Because there are all kinds of chairs. On the surface, some chairs have legs but no arms, but the chairs used by the professors in the academy and Mr. Zhou both have arms. The armrests are also arms!"

She was so happy holding the rabbit lantern. It was different from the one she bought. She won it herself and couldn't let it go.

The family continued shopping and bought some food on the way.

When we reached the center of the main street, we saw a lantern tower prepared by the county government nearby.

This is the largest and tallest lighthouse in the entire county, with six floors!

Fang Nanzhi was still curious. Even without the light, she loved guessing riddles.

Qin Yan looked up at the highest point and saw a phoenix lantern. He fell in love with it at first sight and wanted to give it to his sister.

"Zhizhi, do you like the lantern at the top?"

Fang Nanzhi also looked towards the highest point: "Is that a phoenix?"

"Yes, if you like it, I guess it's a gift for you."

Fang Nanzhi immediately shouted, "I want it! I want the Phoenix one!"

Neither the brother nor the sister noticed that Liu Mingce and several of his friends were among the crowd guessing riddles in front of them.
