Chapter 192 The Three Flowers also want to guess riddles (please give me monthly votes)

This store is a brothel by the river. The one who is reading the title is a delicate woman with makeup. At this moment, a middle-aged literati was guessing that when they looked at the others next to them, most of them seemed to be watching the fun.

"You..."

Song You rubbed the cat's head and walked over with her in his arms.

The lights here are particularly bright. The woman with makeup standing at the door was reflected by the lights. She looked like a peach blossom and smiled gracefully.

I saw her holding the lantern and chanting in a low voice:

"When children on the steps are on their backs, Qingming decoration is the most suitable. Once the hairline is broken, you are powerless. Don't complain about separation in the east wind. Officials, this is the second way."

"As soon as the gossip thread is broken, don't complain about parting with the east wind..."

The middle-aged literati muttered in a low voice without savoring it. He said with a smile:

"But the kite?"

“That’s right!”

As soon as the words were finished, some people around the audience smiled, probably because they had guessed it correctly in their hearts. Some people suddenly realized it, then savored it carefully, and smiled.

Although Dayan had many policies to assist in the school, including official charity schools and private villas, and the literacy rate was the highest in history. However, due to the times, there were still a large number of people present who had never read or had not read many books, and they did not understand the meaning. But it doesn’t matter, there was a servant standing next to him, explaining the meaning of riddles and the mystery of them to everyone.

This can not only attract people, but also better highlight the style of literati. When literati are happy, more will come.

Therefore, this servant not only needs to explain, but also praise the literati who guesses riddles in time so that everyone can know his style and make the guests happy.

After these ordinary people understand, they often smile and secretly write it down to share it elsewhere.

"The official is quick-witted, Yan Yao admires it." The woman said with a smile, "Answer it again, and this tassel lantern will be given to the official."

"please."

Middle-aged literati are very graceful.

"Officials, please listen." The woman in the makeup smiled slightly, held up another lantern, and thought, "The layers of stones cannot be seen in the mountains, the short journey cannot be completed, the rumbling thunder cannot be seen in rain, the heavy snow cannot be seen in cold."

"There are no mountains of stones..."

The middle-aged literati was still chanting in a low voice, but gradually frowned.

The people around were also thinking, some people thought it out, while others couldn't.

Seeing the literati who was guessing the riddle, the woman smiled again and reminded her generously:

"It's something that ordinary people often use."

“…”

The middle-aged literati still frowned and couldn't think of it.

"Can the officials know?"

"I don't know..."

"It must be because the officials are of noble origin and rarely do such work, so they don't know."

"Please give me advice."

The middle-aged literati knew that she was protecting herself and quickly bowed.

"There are not many riddles prepared in the shop, so leave this question to the next one." The woman smiled sweetly, "If the official wants to know the puzzle, he only needs to take a break here for a while."

"Thank you..."

The middle-aged literati shook his head regretfully and had to retreat aside.

The woman looked at everyone: "I wonder if any official knew the answer to this question, and wanted to come up and guess. After answering the three questions correctly, Yan Yao gave him a lantern or a pot of wine in the store."

Everyone outside looked at each other.

Song You almost realized it—

Go up and guess the riddles, guess three correctly, and you can get a lantern. If you guess wrongly, there seems to be no other punishment.

This brothel is very smart.

Brothels have always been short of money, and the service objects are mainly literati. The activities of guessing riddles are accurate to literati. Ordinary people cannot guess it, and those who can guess it are shameful. No matter what, their store cannot lose money. Maybe the business will be very good tonight.

"Meow?"

“…”

Song You walked out with the cat in his arms.

The woman in Shengzhuang saw that she was a Taoist, and she did not neglect at all. After seeing the Taoist holding a cat, her eyebrows and eyes softened a little, and she bent down to salute him.

"Sir, I'm polite."

"Yizhou Shanren, Song You, are polite."

"Sir, are you here to guess riddles?"

"I want to give it a try."

"Simply take the topic just now." The woman said, "I wonder if sir has an answer?"

"But the stone mill?"

“That’s right!”

The woman said with a smile.

"Stone mill!"

The middle-aged literati next to him was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he murmured and repeated it, then bowed to the Taoist: "It's so simple, I can't guess it below. I'm so ashamed..."

"I dare not, don't dare." Song You also quickly replied, "It's just that there are few contacts with stone mills."

"This poem is very wonderful. I wonder if my wife can sell the lanterns written by this poem to her?"

"If the official is willing to drink two pots of wine, listen to a song, or enjoy a dance in the store, what's wrong with the little woman giving it to the official?" the woman said.

"good!"

The literati immediately called his friend and entered the store.

Song You saluted the woman:

"I admire you..."

"Sir, I'm sorry." The woman in the makeup immediately smiled, as if she was more pleased to get the boast of a Taoist than to get the boast of a literati who often serves as a customer in the store. Then she said, "Sir, are you ready to answer the second question?"

"Please open the golden mouth."

“…”

The woman smiled and picked a few of the lanterns sideways, picked a simple one, and whispered: "The leaves of autumn fall can bloom in February, cross the river, and go through thousands of feet of waves, and go into thousands of bamboos and poles."

When Song You heard this, he laughed.

This question is simple, so where do you need to think about it? Moreover, most of the time, Taoists stay away from the world and devote themselves to the mountains and rivers. They walked from Lingquan, Yizhou to Changjing, but they didn’t know how many wind and rain they had seen.

"wind."

"Congratulations, Mr., I have already met the second one." The woman smiled, "Although Mr. is an expert in the world, he is quite knowledgeable. I think the third one will not be difficult for Mr.."

"Thank you for your sake."

"How can a young woman deserve the word "Xie" by the sir?" The woman smiled, and she smiled beautifully, and her body exuded a subtle fragrance of rouge. No wonder such a woman can fascinate the literati.

"Please give a question."

"good……"

The woman picked up another lantern and then said, "All things are empty, and the mountains are hidden in the water, and the infinite drought seedlings are about to end, and the leisurely places are strange peaks."

As the words came to the ground, the literati around them also began to think.

The Taoist knew it with a little more rank.

"cloud."

When the literati around heard this, some of them lit up their eyes, while others showed an annoyance. It seemed that they were about to think of it immediately, but just the moment they thought it, they were told by this Taoist, and the pleasure of solving the puzzles themselves would naturally be weaker.

"Sir Wensi is really quick."

"I can't call it agility, but I was originally a monk in the mountains and loved to watch the clouds the most." The Taoist said, "I really should thank you for your care."

"Do you want a lantern? Or wine?"

"At the bottom is a Taoist, wearing a Taoist robe, and when you enter the noble land, you are afraid of being out of place, so you can ask for a lantern."

"Just choose the Taoist priest."

"Thank you..."

Song You hugged the cat and asked in a low voice: "Which lantern does Empress Sanhua like?"

Everyone heard it and felt strange.

However, I saw the cat looking around and looking back and forth on the numerous lanterns, as if he could really understand the words.
