"Let's go, we'll go too." Seeing Li Chen and his daughter walk towards the lantern stall, Li Er followed along with Princess Jin Yang, Princess Lan Ling, and Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Chen's daughter wanted colorful lights, and so did his two princesses. Girls were always immune to these beautiful things.
Moreover, he was also somewhat influenced by Li Chen and vaguely wanted to compare.
Hmm, it seemed like he wanted to see who doted on his daughter more…
When he arrived at the lantern stall, Li Chen saw a note hanging on the tassel of each lantern. That's right, this should be the lantern riddle.
Previously, he had been very interested in lantern riddles for a period of time, so he had read a lot of books on this topic. Now that he saw ancient lantern riddles, he could not help but stop and read with interest.
Lantern riddles were riddles written on colored lights. They originated from folk riddles and were also called "lantern tigers". Therefore, this lantern riddles was also called "lantern tigers".
Guessing riddles by watching lanterns. During the Three Kingdoms period, riddles were popular. The scale of lantern riddles could be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. This was a traditional cultural custom that both refined and vulgar people enjoyed.
A lantern riddle was composed of a riddle, a riddle, and a riddle. One could guess the answer through the riddle (puzzle) and the riddle (hint). Once they guessed it correctly, they could get a gift (usually a lantern).
According to Li Chen's understanding, there were many ways to solve riddles, including the word separation method, the separation method, the addition method, the reduction method, and the half-face method.
As for the bud on Li Chen's back, she didn't think too much about it. She quietly lay on Li Chen's back and looked at the dazzling colorful lights. She was extremely happy.
"I want a lantern. Mother, quickly guess a lantern for me.”
"This lantern riddle is really too difficult. I'm afraid only the top scorer on the Golden Roll can write such a riddle.”
"Slow down, don't run too fast. We still have to go to Dragon Cry Temple later.”
“......”
The sounds of people coming and going were very noisy. Yaya looked excitedly at the colorful lights one after another. Sometimes, she would point at the lights she liked to show Li Chen.
The pomegranate lamp, cherry lamp, and watermelon lamp made people think of delicious fruits. Horse lanterns, wild goose lanterns, and carp lanterns made people love the wonderful animal world. There were also some lanterns related to folk stories, which were quite interesting.
Li Chen also looked at the patterns on the lanterns with interest. Each of them was vivid and lifelike, showing the ingenuity of the creator.
He looked at it for a long time.
"Yaya, which lantern do you want? Tell Daddy and Daddy will win it for you.”He turned around and asked Yaya, who was on his back.
"Yaya wants it too." Yaya patted Li Chen's shoulder and clapped her hands happily.
"Yaya, these lanterns belong to everyone. There are still many people who want to solve riddles. Many children like you love lanterns. If you take all of them, the others won't have anything to play with.”Li Chen said earnestly.
"Alright then, Yaya will take three cups.”"Sister Si Zi also needs three cups, and Sister Shu 'er also needs three cups."”
"Okay, I promise you. You can choose the lantern now.”Li Chen said happily.
Li Chen had thought that it would take at least 15 minutes to pick out a lantern. He didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Yaya said without hesitation,"
"I want that lantern with cherries, that lantern with watermelons, and the last one with peaches.”
Li Chen laughed and called out to the shop assistant,""Please bring me the riddles for the cherry lamp, watermelon lamp, and peach lamp.”
"Sir, our stall is the most difficult stall in the entire lantern riddle street. It's not easy to solve three lantern riddles at the same time.”The shop assistant was kind and tried to persuade him, because once he took out the colored lights, he would have to pay if he didn't guess correctly.
"Daddy, will Yaya's lantern be snatched away?”Yaya asked worriedly.
"I won't." Li Chen gently patted Yaya's hand on his shoulder and comforted her.
"Take whatever you want." Li Chen waved his hand and said boldly.
"Alright." The shop assistant responded and quickly took out the answers to the three lamps.
In an instant, many tourists gathered around Li Chen. Most of them were dressed in green robes and had a scarf on their heads. They looked like scholars.
Without exception, the reason why they had stopped here before was because they were thinking hard about the riddle. Seeing that someone was going to solve three riddles at the same time, all of them became interested.
Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other and smiled. They could understand what the other wanted to say.
"Mr. Li Chen is a genius, but now he's here to solve lantern riddles. It's really interesting.”Zhangsun Wuji said in a low voice.
"It's all because of his precious Yaya. Whatever lantern Yaya wants, he'll solve it.”"I'd like to see if he's good at everything." Li Er smiled.”
At the same time, Li Chen held the three riddles in his hand. He didn't even look at them. He picked up the brush pen in front of the stall, dipped it in ink, and aimed it at the note in his hand.
"You didn't even think about it or look at it. Did you get an answer so quickly?”
"What are you doing? Even if he wanted to cause trouble, he couldn't cause trouble like this, right?”
"Who can solve the puzzle so quickly? Is this a joke?"
“......”
The people who were watching the show discussed animatedly and treated Li Chen as a troublemaker.
As for Li Chen, why would he care about these strange sounds? Just the time when he held the pen and wrote, he had read all the riddles. Coincidentally, he had seen these three riddles before.
Let bygones be bygones? (Type one word)
He started writing "modesty".
A thousand on the left was not enough, but ten thousand on the right? (Type one word)
He wrote "imitation".
A moustache? (Type one word)
He started writing "only".
The three small words were written in regular script like flowing clouds and flowing water. There was really no need to think at all, and the onlookers were even more amazed.
"Take a look." Li Chen handed the written answer to the waiter.
The waiter took out the answer to the riddle and was instantly stunned.
"How is it? Is that right?" The others asked curiously.
"All…correct." The waiter looked at it for a long time before he raised his head and said in surprise,"Congratulations, sir. These three colored lights are all yours.”
"Yay!" Yaya clapped excitedly.
