It's not that I want to bend

I saw a group of people walking over with flushed faces and excited faces. There were men and women among them, and they looked like they were not natives of Kyoto.At first, a handsome man in white academic uniform shouted eagerly: "Stand owner, wait a minute!"

I fork!Wait for your sister!Woohoo~ The sense of emptiness in the hand deeply hurt my young heart.The stall owner was very obedient and really waited. I was too embarrassed to go forward to snatch it, so I slowly withdrew my outstretched hand, followed the crowd, and looked at the group of people.

The handsome man took a deep breath, nodded slightly towards us, and then said eagerly to the boss: "Staller, I have also finished answering these 99 lantern riddles. Here are the answers. Please have a look at them." .”

The surroundings exploded again, and immediately there was a more heated discussion.

"No way! There are actually two 'Lamp Kings' this year?! Will there be a third or a fourth?" No. [-] melon eater said excitedly.

"Wake up! Don't dream, you think the 'Lamp King' is the kind that you pick up casually on the street! In previous years, it was very difficult to even appear one, but now you are still thinking about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. !” No. [-], the melon eater, looked at No. [-] with disdain.

"How do these two people's heads grow, and how are they so smart!" said No. [-], the melon eater, enviously.

"I don't know how they grow, anyway, it's not like you, it grows on elm!" No. [-], the melon eater, looked at No. [-] and said with a smile.

"There's only one 'Lantern King', the two of them are going to fight, right?" No. [-], the melon eater, blushed with excitement, looked at us with shining eyes, and kept gearing up.

"Let's fight! I'm here to sit in the dealership, you guys fight!" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks lifted the hem of his clothes and opened the handicap on the spot.

"This kid is so good-looking! It can be regarded as an embarrassment for us men! Otherwise, if such a group of old men lost to a little girl, this person would be a big loser!" The very rough man said excitedly while clenching his fists.

"You are still losing now! Didn't you see that sister answered faster?" A little girl pouted and said indignantly.

"..."

The stall owner looked at the handsome man in shock, slowly put down the lantern in his hand, took his answer and checked it carefully.After a while, he said in amazement: "This is really true! I have been in charge of the Kao booth for so many years, and this is the first time that two 'Lamp Kings' have been born."

"That's right! Don't even look at who our brother Minghu is! How can the majestic number one genius in Huainan not be able to solve this mere lantern riddle!" A skinny young man in the group said proudly, Look at him like he has all the answers.

"However, there is only one 'Lantern King' here. This sister and brother Minghu both answered 99 lantern riddles correctly. Who should they give to?" A naive little girl in the group seemed distressed.

"I don't care, I don't care! Brother Minghu, I definitely want that 'Lantern King'! At worst, give them some more silver and ask them to give it to us!" A savage-looking girl in the group directly pulled the girl named Minghu. The sleeves of the man are coquettish.

"Okay, okay! Sister Rou'er, don't worry, I will definitely get you the 'Lantern King'!" The one named Minghu felt the swaying of Rou'er with a face of enjoyment, and couldn't help it. With a proud face, she agreed softly to Rou'er.

I bother!These two people sang so well, it's just the two of you here, you have the final say? !I haven't said anything yet!

It is tolerable or unbearable, "Su" can bear it, "Qing" can't bear it, the prince can bear it, and Xiao Zhong can't bear it!I saw Xiaozhong "swipe", grabbed the "Lantern King" and held it in his hand, and said angrily: "Hey, hey! What's the matter with you! There is always a first come, first served! My family Master, I can answer much faster than you! This 'Lantern King' should be ours!"

"You! You! Put the Lantern King down quickly! We...we...we just arrived late, so we will be slower than you! Besides, the stall owner didn't say to divide the speed at the beginning, answered You can get the 'Lantern King' when you're done!" The black skinny boy over there spoke again.

Hearing this, we all looked at the stall owner in unison, and the stall owner said awkwardly: "Hehe, it's really an old man's negligence, but the title of 'Lamp King' hasn't appeared more than one at the same time for a long time, so, I didn’t explain much. However, this ‘Lantern King’ is only made like this one every year, otherwise it will be given to each of the two.”

"Who wants to be like them!" Narou'er said something.Hey, I didn't even open my mouth, you said it first, but it just so happens that I don't like to take the same things as you idiots!

"We don't want to be like you!" Xiao Zhong is worthy of being my gold medal boy, and he really looks like the roundworm in my stomach.Uh, no, it seems that I have compared Su Yue so much before, but I can't compare the two as the same. Su Yue's status in my heart is much higher.That Xiaozhong is... like a bug in my head?Yes, it's a bug!

"Rou'er! Don't be rude, and don't make fooling around." That Minghu looked at Rou'er pretending to be stern, but even a blind man could see the doting in his eyes.Then he smiled towards us and said: "My friend, can you give us this 'Lantern King'? I am willing to give you a large sum of money as compensation."

I bother!Who is your friend!Xiaozhong looked aggrieved and wanted to interrupt, but seeing that the kid was asking me, he couldn't get past my master and interrupted, so he could only stare at them bitterly.Hey, this kid is interesting, Su Yue is the one who answered the question, why are you asking me with a smirk!

I pondered for a while, pretending to look at Minghu with emotion and said, "Then, how much money are you going to give me?" Pretend?Who wouldn't, let me show you a big one this time!

Hearing this, the group of people all showed contemptuous and proud expressions, and the surrounding melon-eating crowd also showed a look of understanding but regret.That Minghu raised his chin very loftily, and said proudly: "I'll give you 100 taels, oh no, it's 200 taels of silver!"

"How about it, you are making a lot of money now, you can buy a few of these lanterns for 200 taels, why don't you hurry up and leave with the money." The dark and thin boy echoed with a proud face, flattering Looking at Minghu.

I curled my lips, thinking it was a big money, but it turned out that I don't know where it came from!I also said that I can buy several such lanterns, you are an idiot, I think it is enough to buy one or two!Could it be that I look so worthless? I couldn't help but lower my head and inspect our clothes, wondering if we were dressed too low-key when we came out.This action fell into the eyes of the group, and they felt ashamed for no reason, so they became even more proud.

I pretended to be very distressed and said: "Well, there are quite a lot! I don't even have this face value on me."

"That's right! Do you think that everyone is as generous as our brother Minghu, with so many openings? If it were me, I would give up to 50 taels!" Another white-faced scholar-like person in the group interjected proudly.I bother!You thought you were in a side dish business!

I nodded, pretending to agree, and then said: "Well, it's quite generous. Since you are so generous, it's not easy for us to steal your limelight." Then I met their more and more proud eyes , I changed the subject and said to Xiaozhong: "Xiaozhong! What is the smallest denomination of our bank note?"

"Return to the master! The smallest denominations on us are 1000 taels and 1 taels. There will be no more smaller ones." Xiao Zhong said in an unusually clever interface, pretending to be indifferent, and he didn't even bother to look at it. The guy took a look.Okay!Xiaozhong, you have a bright future!When I was about to go out, I clearly saw that you brought a lot of small bank notes!This time, I didn't lose face, and I will be rewarded a lot when I go back!

I made a look of embarrassment, and said dejectedly: "Oh, there really isn't a hundred." Only now did the group understand the meaning of what I just said, and they were all stunned, still standing in disbelief. .

I shook my head helplessly, and said lightly: "Forget it, Xiao Zhong, we won't take the same as others, so you can take the 1000 taels, oh no, take the 1 taels of silver notes and distribute them to those present. Everyone, getting together is a fate, let's share this joy together!"

"Yes, master!" Xiao Zhong quickly took out a 1 tael bank note from his bosom upon hearing this, and was about to move when I stopped him again. The expression on the face is "it really is like this".

I said lightly: "By the way, those friends are so generous, they must be disdainful to share the joy of us Kyoto people, so don't go up and make a fool of yourself, just share it with others."

"Yes, master!" This time, Xiao Zhong replied very loudly, and even glanced at them in relief, then ignored them.Everyone in that group was choked and speechless, and their faces were so bruised and purple that they were so ugly.Su Yue gave me a funny look, but didn't speak, and let me mess around.

"Which one of you has a small-denomination bank note. One hundred is fine, and I will exchange it for a good share for everyone, let us enjoy the joy of this Lantern Festival together!" Xiao Zhong shouted loudly, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"I have! I have!"

When everyone heard it, they were really rich!They began to exchange for Xiaozhong one after another, and after a while, the 1 taels of silver bills were astigmatized.As a result, more people gathered around to watch the fun. After taking the money, they still couldn't believe it was true, and some even pinched their faces hard.Everyone didn't go back immediately with the bank tickets, but gathered around and watched more vigorously, for fear that such a scene would happen again later, but if they missed it, they would regret it!More and more people got the news on the street, and more and more people came to wait and see. This place suddenly became the focus of the whole street.

"You! You are so hateful! How can you deceive others with money like this! Is that how you people in Kyoto treat guests?" The one named Rou'er pouted and said angrily.That coquettish appearance is a bit worth seeing, but.Compared with Su Yue, she is simply weak!

"Oh? I remember that you guys talked about money first, right? Could it be that I remembered it wrong? Even if I remembered it wrong, would there be so many ears around me who misheard it? Tell me, who said money first? ?” I asked pretending to be puzzled.

"It's them!" This time, the melon-eaters became extremely forceful and answered in unison.Sure enough, take others' hands softly!Money can turn ghosts around!Look at how dedicated this group of extras are, they are still working so hard even after receiving the box lunch.

"Oh, that's it, that's right, you guys said it first. We people in Kyoto are very hospitable to our guests, and we compare ourselves to what the guests say, even if I don't have the face value, I'll bite the bullet. Well, alas, how can we deceive others with money, we only like to share this joy, and if we disagree, we will give away money, come to Xiaozhong, and let everyone have fun." I said in a tone, almost tossed I'm disgusted myself.

Hearing this, Xiaozhong agreed, and happily threw out another handful of banknotes.I took a sneak peek, and luckily, this time I don’t pay [-] yuan, but a small amount of one hundred or ten taels, otherwise it will be enough for my heartache later.

"You! You..." Rou'er almost burst into tears, but she just couldn't think of words to refute me.

"Rou'er, don't be as knowledgeable as they are. We are here to guess lantern riddles, not to compare money. Anyway, we have answered 99 lantern riddles correctly, and we will not let the "Lantern King"!" A little clever, seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly turned around, no longer entangled with the money, and kept biting the lantern riddle, pretending to be a high-spirited scribe, and spoke righteously.

I fork!Boy, if you weren't trying to challenge me, I really want to give you a thumbs up for your acting skills and shameless spirit.

The scene has returned to the stalemate at the beginning, the two sides are at war, and there is a tendency to start fighting if there is any disagreement.The stall owner came out to mediate in a hurry. I said, old man, don’t think that the one I just took with the money is your favorite. Don’t take the money and do nothing. Be careful of retribution!

"Since both of you love this 'Lantern King' so much, you don't want to let it go. Then, please come up with the [-]th lantern riddle of this Lantern Festival. Whoever guesses it first will be the 'Lantern King'!" You are so talented, shouldn’t you have any objections?” The stall owner said with a smile.

"Wow! There really is the [-]th lantern riddle!" The melon-eaters were amazed.

"No opinion!" The two groups agreed with this approach one after another.

"Then, please listen carefully, the first couplet is: Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; it is like jackals, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild animals. The second couplet is: There are also poems, and there are also words, It is also found in the Analects of Confucius, which is vague about east, west, north, and south. Although it is short, it is a wonderful essay. Guess one word each in the upper and lower couplets. Please start, both of you." The stall owner respectfully took out a small box from the back of the booth, and gently opened it He took out the lantern riddle inside and read seriously.

Su Yue pondered for a while, then raised her head and stood quietly like that, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. She was the fairy who strayed into the busy city of the world, holy and unstained.No way, Su Yue, you have figured out the answer, but you still haven't figured it out, don't say anything!Don't let that kid really win later, his tail can't be up to the sky!

With a feeling of apprehension, I looked at the calm Su Yue, and at Minghu who seemed to be still thinking hard.After waiting for quite a while, Minghu's expression brightened suddenly, and he was about to speak out.As soon as I saw it, I immediately sighed in my heart, it's over, it's over, God has failed, and that kid actually has an answer.Just wanted to do some damage, who knows a voice faster than me.

"Staller, I think of the answer. The first couplet is the word 'guess', and the second couplet is the word 'mystery'. Add up the word 'guessing', right?" Su Yue said lightly, the timing was just right, like It's the same.

Hearing the words, Minghu suddenly turned pale. The joy that had just risen was replaced by great disappointment before it could dissipate. The answer stuck in his throat, before he could say it, turned into a sigh .

"The girl is really talented! I admire you! The answer is indeed 'guessing'! Then this 'Lantern King' is yours!" The stall owner respectfully handed the "Lantern King" into our hands with a smile on his face.

I looked at the "Lantern King" with a smile on my face, and laughed proudly.This feeling is so sour!

There was a sour voice in the slanting thorn, and he said with an unconvinced tone: "What kind of ability is relying on a woman, this is really a man who eats soft food!"

I bah, who is this, this is!Who did I provoke!I'm going to eat soft food, what can you do with me!I can't get enough of Su Yue's soft rice!As soon as I turned around, I saw that Rou'er, looking angrily at the "Lantern King" in my hand, with a sour look on his face.The one named Minghu even tugged on her sleeve pretendingly, telling her to stop talking, but the anger in his eyes and the revived pride in his eyes almost dazzled me.

I gritted my teeth, pretended to be distressed, and said helplessly: "Is that so? Is this just eating soft rice? But my wife's soft rice is really delicious, and I can't bear it if I don't eat it! This Kind of soft rice is not something everyone can eat! What do you think, Brother Minghu?"

Minghu's face turned green and red when I asked him, and he didn't bother to talk to me.He wanted to leave, but because there were too many people eating melons around him, there was no way out, so he had to stand there in embarrassment without speaking.

The stall owner brought the Four Treasures of the Study, handed them to Su Yue, and said with a smile: "Now, let's invite this year's 'Lamp King' to leave calligraphy for everyone."

Su Yue took the brush with a faint smile, and wrote a line of ethereal and light words on the paper - Yelang is arrogant!Then she left behind her own name—Princess Anle, Su Yue.

After Su Yue finished writing, facing the stunned expression of the stall owner, she walked away with me under Li Dao's invincible road-opening skills.After a while, everyone gathered around and saw Mo Bao's true face, and sighed belatedly.

"Wow! That's... that's the daughter of Taifu Su, the current Princess Anle, Su Yue herself?" A young man with a nympho look on his face couldn't believe it.

"Who is Princess Anle, Su Yue?" A middle-aged man asked with a confused face.

"Brother, I heard that you are from another place. Who in Kyoto doesn't know Princess Anle? She is the famous 'No. [-] Beautiful and Talented Woman in Kyoto'!" Another middle-aged man thought he knew a lot, with a smug expression on his face. Said.

"'Kyoto's most beautiful and talented girl', no wonder she is so beautiful, like a fairy, to see her in person, even if I die now, it is worth it!" A man who looked like a pig brother said with a hada .

"I made it! I made it! I actually saw Princess Anle today! The one next to her just now is King Anle! So handsome, no wonder everyone says that the prince favors the princess and is willing to say in front of others that he likes to eat the soft food of the princess." Oh, how spoiled it is!" said a man with a goatee, the old god said.

"What kind of talented man from other places dares to challenge the prince and concubine, and doesn't weigh himself. He really is arrogant!" A man with the appearance of a knight said angrily.

"Isn't it? What a shame!" Everyone echoed.

"..."
