1191: Chapter 1191: Guess the Lantern Riddles 1191: Chapter 1191: Guess the Lantern Riddles “Miss, if you guess the riddles, you win the lanterns,” Du Man said with excitent.
Her nature had always been lively, it’s just that her later experiences forced her to act with more reserve.
But in the days since she had followed Yang Ruxin, as their lives had improved and she saw that her parents were slowly recovering, her heart settled down and her personality gradually returned to its forr state.
Even though they experienced sothing so terrifying today, with the young mistress and the young master here, there was no problem at all.
Yang Ruxin had originally been disinterested in these things and, considering the chaos that began this evening, was actually quite tired by now, but seeing the maidservant so thrilled, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse, “If you like it, we can take a look.
Since we’re here, let’s appreciate the beauty of these lanterns.”
There was already a crowd gathered around the lantern stands, and it took so effort for them to squeeze in.
Soone had already pointed at a lantern and tried to guess, but after several attempts failed to get it right, they beca discouraged.
People around joined in the clamor, yet none could guess correctly.
Yang Ruxin took a glance; the riddle read: “Born in the mountains, dies in a pot, reveals itself in a cup.” The answer was an object.
In truth, it wasn’t difficult, but in this era, not every household could afford tea leaves.
After all, Baihua County wasn’t surrounded by large tea gardens, so it wasn’t surprising that no one could guess.
Just as she was about to speak, soone suddenly said, “Tea leaves.”
The middle-aged man laughed at once, “This young master has the right answer.” Then he took down the Palace Lantern and handed it over.
The crowd couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, naturally discussing how handso this person was and that he was filled with knowledge, having guessed correctly on his first attempt.
The reason no one had comnted on Gu Qingheng before was because he had always stood in the shadows, and people around him couldn’t see his face clearly if they didn’t look closely, so naturally, they weren’t surprised.
Yang Ruxin watched as the young master took the Palace Lantern and frowned slightly.
“Miss Yang, this is for you,” Song San said, handing her the Palace Lantern with a smile capable of captivating all those around him.
“Gentlen do not take what others hold dear.” Yang Ruxin hadn’t spoken yet, but Gu Qingheng stepped forward, embracing her in his arms, with an equally enchanting smile, “If my wife likes it, I will win it for her.”
Yang Ruxin imdiately smiled.
Her man was undaunted by anyone.
Even though she thought that vying over a lantern was a bit childish, she felt incredibly validated.
Song San narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly.
When he first t this man, although he was in a wheelchair, he knew he was extraordinary.
Now that he had stood up, his presence was indeed even more formidable.
Gu Qingheng, however, didn’t bother with him anymore and turned to look at the lantern stand, “Wife, which one do you like?”
Yang Ruxin pointed to the rooster lantern at the very top, “Mimi and Xiaofeng were born in the year of the Rooster, so that one.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly revealed the riddle, which was: “Zi, Chou,” guess an idiom.
Gu Qingheng didn’t even have to think before he answered, “Second to none (born one, born two).”
“This young master is amazing too,” the middle-aged man quickly took down the lantern and passed it over.
Gu Qingheng glanced at Song San and then, without pause, guessed more than a dozen riddles in one go, getting every single one correct.
He simply looked at the riddle and imdiately spoke the answer, like lightning speed.
The crowd that was watching the excitent imdiately stirred into an excited applause.
