No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

"Master, do you know how to guess riddles?" Lin Mingyan pulled the Fourth Master towards the direction where the voice came from, and she couldn't wait to join in.

The Fourth Master protected her from behind to prevent her from being touched by others, but he inevitably had to compete with everyone.

Lin Mingyan boasted unconsciously, "I love guessing lantern riddles the most. There's nothing I can't guess."

She does like to guess riddles in modern times, and she likes to search the Internet for some difficult riddles from ancient times, looking at the world from the shoulders of her predecessors.

Ahem, although it’s not good to cheat people with a lantern in ancient times.

But, she is not such a moral person, hahaha~

If he was really the Emperor of Morality, he would have been dead by the time he traveled through time to become someone's concubine.

Not to mention that she indirectly killed Madam Yun. If she were the Virgin Mary, wouldn't she be blaming herself to death?

Seeing her like a proud little peacock, the Fourth Master teased her, "Go ahead and guess. If you guess right, I'll grant you a wish."

Is there such a good thing? !

Lin Mingyan was extremely excited and squeezed forward desperately.

Hard work pays off, or perhaps it could be said that the Fourth Master, being tall and strong, had some abilities, and he protected her and brought her to the front.

There was a young couple participating. The woman was pointing at a rabbit lantern, her eyes full of stars.

Her husband, who was probably a scholar, pointed to the rabbit lantern and said calmly, "Please, boss, get me the lantern riddle."

The person in charge was a middle-aged man with a small mustache. He took the riddle and explained to him: "This rabbit lantern is worth ten taels of silver. If you can answer the riddle, you can buy it for five taels of silver."

"If you can't answer it, you have to spend ten taels of silver to buy it~"

This rabbit lantern is unusually gorgeous, but ten taels of silver is indeed beyond its market value.

Lin Mingyan just glanced over and knew that it would be about the same price at the market.

The scholar couple was probably not very wealthy, so they were a little hesitant about this way of playing.

Lin Mingyan turned around and whispered in the Fourth Master's ear, "Master, isn't this just gambling in disguise?"

If you win the bet, you win three taels of silver, and if you lose, you lose two taels.

But for merchants, even if they sell it for five taels, they still make a profit, and the only ones who lose money are the customers.

It's really true that all businessmen are dishonest~

The Fourth Master's ears were tickled by her breath. He reached out and hugged her closer, then said, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. You can't blame others."

There are many people selling lanterns nearby, with all kinds of colors and styles, and you can buy one for eight taels of silver.

Sure enough, as soon as the Fourth Master finished speaking, the scholar agreed and challenged him to guess the riddles.

Lin Mingyan watched with great interest as the man with a small mustache took a hanging sign from under the rabbit lamp.

The riddle above was read out: "If you don't say it sooner or later, guess one word."

Why not say it earlier or later?

Lin Mingyan immediately thought of the answer and smiled with confidence.

Turning around, he whispered to the Fourth Master, "Yes, Xu. It's so simple!"

"Cha Cha is amazing," the Fourth Master smiled, as if praising a child.

Lin Mingyan snorted and looked towards the field again.

I don’t know if this scholar has become stupid because of reading too much. He is scratching his head while thinking about such a simple riddle.

The man with the mustache impatiently tapped the table with his fingers and urged, "Hurry up, customer, or I'll buy it for ten taels of silver. There are others who want to guess."

The woman's face looked a little ugly, and she reached out and pulled the scholar's sleeve.

The people around him were also worried about him. After all, ten taels of silver was an ordinary family's annual living expenses.

If even the educated ones can't answer it, then there's no hope for others.

The scholar really couldn't figure it out and was about to give up when he heard someone nearby greeting him: "Brother Zhang, Brother Xu, long time no see, Happy New Year."

He suddenly realized and quickly answered, "It's Xu! The answer is Xu! If you don't say it in the morning and don't say it in the evening, then it must be said at noon!"

As soon as he gave the answer, those who were worried about him breathed a sigh of relief and then applauded him.

The woman was even more delighted, clapping her hands vigorously and saying, "My husband is the best."

The man with the mustache looked worried, and when the scholar went to get the lamp, he held it a little further away.

The scholar was puzzled: "Boss, but my answer is wrong?"

"That's right," the mustache-faced man snorted coldly, "but it wasn't your guess, so it doesn't count!"

The scholar was stunned and frowned, "Why isn't it my own guess?"

Although he remembered it only after hearing someone greet him, it was not someone who reminded him on purpose.

If given a little more time, he would be able to guess it.

"Everyone heard someone greeting you just now. Maybe someone deliberately revealed the answer to you like this!" The man with a mustache was so angry that his beard stood up.

The scholar was also furious, his face red and his neck thick: "You are so unreasonable, I don't even know them, what do you mean by revealing the answer to the riddle to me?"

This is equivalent to suspecting him of cheating and insulting his character!

The spectators on the side were also divided into two groups. One group believed that a reminder was just a reminder, and the scholar's victory was unfair.

The other group thought that since the answer came from the scholar, the shopkeeper should accept the defeat.

The two sides started arguing and almost had a real fight.

Finally, the mustache man drove the man away: "Go away, either buy the lantern at full price or get out!"

The scholar and his wife blushed and turned pale, but in the end they did not dare to confront the shop owner head-on, so they could only swallow their anger and step aside.

Lin Mingyan was a little speechless, and wanted to leave with the Fourth Master: "Master, let's go to another store. This one must be a small store, we can't afford to lose so much."

A rabbit lantern can be sold for five taels of silver, which is still a profit. Who cares about arguing about it?

The Fourth Master did not comment. He came out just to make Cha Cha have fun, so naturally she could go wherever she wanted.

Lin Mingyan said proudly, "Don't worry, sir. After we leave this shabby little shop, I will definitely win you the biggest lantern at the Lantern Festival!"

"Okay," the Fourth Master agreed casually, just to join in the fun.

She didn't soften her voice. There were so many people on the street, who would stare at her?

But she didn't expect that the man with a small mustache had already seen her, and thought that it would be very attractive to have such a beautiful woman guessing riddles.

Seeing that she not only wanted to leave but also spoke so shamelessly, he directly retorted: "Foolish woman, the largest and most expensive lanterns at this Lantern Festival belong to our Treasure House."

"It's hanging on the lantern tower in front of you. It's the most gorgeous one at the top."

"You still say my house is a small shop, I guess you don't dare to guess!"

His tone was part contempt, but more of it was provocation.

Is Lin Mingyan the kind of person who can be won over by provocation?

The Fourth Master shook his head:...She really is!

That’s right, usually when she couldn’t bear it anymore, as long as he said, “Cha Cha, are you feeling worse?”, she could hold on for another quarter of an hour.

At this moment, Lin Mingyan snorted coldly and stood up: "Who doesn't dare to guess? Take out the biggest and most expensive riddle."

"I'm going to let you know who's the best at guessing the riddle!"
