Ouyang Rong didn't leave.

At this time, the two happened to pass by a lakeside promenade filled with lanterns and many people lined up.

Ouyang Rong didn't know what he saw, and suddenly called out to Rong Zhen:

"Wait, come over here."

"What are you doing?"

Rong Zhen frowned, but still reluctantly followed.

She took a closer look and found that the promenade by the water was covered with lanterns. Each gauze lantern had a riddle attached to it. At the entrance of the promenade, there was a pair of chubby grandfather and grandson, setting up a stall and running a stall in front of them.

wooden sign.

The content on the wooden sign probably means:

Three taels of silver go through the lantern riddle corridor once. Anyone who correctly guesses ten lantern riddles on the corridor can take away a family heirloom jade hairpin and get three taels of silver in return. There is only one hairpin and it is only given to the destined person with wisdom.

.

On the counter in front of the chubby old man, there was a mandarin duck jade hairpin on display for everyone.

A little boy with a fat face, who seemed to be his grandson, collected money at the entrance of the corridor. Every time he collected three taels, he handed out a wooden pass. One person was let in at a time, and those with more people queued up.

Ouyang Rong turned around and took a look. He saw an emerald jade hairpin lying on a red cloth, with several lanterns hanging above his head. The light shone on the emerald jade body, making it dazzling for a moment and really beautiful... This boss knows how to light a show.

Especially the chubby old man, with a happy reminiscence expression on his face, stroking his beard, repeatedly told everyone that this was the thing his parents met back then, a gift of marriage, the red thread of Yue Lao.

Ouyang Rong found this kind of short composition very boring, but it didn't prevent him from borrowing it for use.

"What do you want to do?" Rong Zhen was confused.

"Don't you always want to exchange for this hairpin of mine? Come on, I'll get one for you. You don't have to exchange it with my mother's belongings..."

He patted his chest and said, then covered his mouth and coughed: "But, I didn't bring any money. Do you have any?"

Rong Zhen frowned and took out three liang.

Ouyang Rong took it and walked to line up.

There were many people queuing up in front, and a young man at the front was slowly looking around on the corridor, frowning and thinking, unable to guess the lantern riddle for a long time.

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but urged:

"Hey, brother, hurry up."

The female relatives and a group of beauties he brought with him were watching from below, and the young master's face suddenly turned red.

The lantern riddles here were originally the most difficult on this street and had a good reputation. In addition, the boy below was actually slightly more handsome than him with his fair face. The young man said angrily: "Why bother? Why don't you come?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Ouyang Rong jumped in line and stepped forward without saying a word.

"Hey, let's forget it..." Rong Zhen frowned slightly. She couldn't understand any of these lantern riddles. Judging from the performance of his son-in-law and scholar, it didn't look like a simple one. The most important thing was that Ouyang Rong was too pushy.

Ending... With everyone watching the show and the young master suppressing his blush, Ouyang Rong walked up the corridor and glanced at the mystery strip on the lamp.

【Candied coptis?】

"share weal and woe."

[I can vaguely hear the crow of apes outside the garden, and hear the whistle from the small bridge of stars and moon?]

"Lantern Festival."

[The body is white and fat, often hidden in the mud, covered with honeycombs, and can taste both raw and cooked.]

"Lotus root."

Ouyang Rong speaks very quickly, one after another. These lantern riddles were like child's play in his previous life, and his brain was so sharp.

He didn't even think about it and started speedrunning.

After half a cup of tea.

There were many female relatives outside the corridor, and the onlookers opened their mouths and looked sideways. Under the change of expression of the fat old man, Ouyang Rong walked down the corridor, bent down and opened the hands of the stunned children, easily took back three taels of silver, and then picked up the stick on the table.

The much-anticipated mandarin duck jade hairpin patted its butt and left.

On the street, Ouyang Rong waved the hairpin in his hand and handed it to Rong Zhen: "Here."

Rong Zhen raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, stared at his confident face for a while, stretched out both hands, and silently took the jade hairpin.

She slowly lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, then... I owe you another meal."

Ouyang Rong's smile disappeared.

But before he could refuse, Rong Zhen had already turned around and left, his steps seemed light, and he waved to him:

"Go back. I see that you are absent-minded. In fact, there is no need to apologize and make up for it, but I am... in a pretty good mood tonight."

As he said this, the girl in palace clothes in the distance took off the gold hairpin on her temples, quietly replaced it with this jade hairpin, and left with her head held high.

Ouyang Rong opened his mouth, then rubbed his face, glanced at the night, turned around and left quickly...

Outside the lantern riddle corridor, I saw the two figures disappearing like a couple of gods.

The child who returned the money and lost the ancestral jade hairpin had a chubby face and was very anxious:

"Aweng, what should I do? It was broken so quickly. Don't we have to close the stall?"

"Close the stall? What kind of stall are you closing? Don't you still have this one? There are a lot of goods. They are still open tonight. My dear grandson, continue to collect money. Hehe."

As he spoke, the chubby old man bent down, picked up one of the identical jade hairpins from the wooden box next to him, placed it on the stall again, and said to himself leisurely: "Three taels of silver from the Dongshi Jewelry Store."

Ten coins, alas, it is a bit expensive, but you have to remember, my dear grandson, that if you don’t let go of your children, you won’t be able to trap the wolf.”

He closed the door, cleared his throat, and continued selling, telling stories vividly.

The fat-faced kid couldn't help scratching his head: "Aweng is still smart!"

"Nonsense, just to guard against masters like this that pop up occasionally."

The chubby old man was very proud.

About an hour later.

Sure enough, there was still no new person who had passed the level. They were all idiots. The chubby old man smiled: "Let me tell you, there are only a few who are powerful. The guy just now was not an ordinary person at first glance. Now he can give me a tiger body."

There are not many young people who are shocked, and they have brought such a beautiful young lady with them. She must be a talented person and full of knowledge.

"Hey, there is also that little lady. She should have a cold face and a warm heart. It is difficult to get close to this kind of woman, but once she is captured, she is absolutely obsessed with loyalty, fiery and clingy. Look at her happy face after the boy gave him the hairpin.

Now I can’t help but be coaxed by that kid into having a tryst in the woods by the lake, and I even handed over my bellyband…”

The well-informed old man sighed and shook his head: "However, this can still be coaxed. Many men can't even touch the little hands of beauties. We need to create opportunities for them. In order to coax women, they need to express themselves in various ways.

, we are the ones who earn this money, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

At this moment, the old man paused with emotion and turned his head to look at the people lining up. His grandson also turned his head curiously.

I saw another pair of handsome and beautiful women walking in line. One of them was a familiar figure, but the figure of the young lady in red clothes next to him was unfamiliar. However, she had a dignified appearance and outstanding style. She was also beautiful and fragrant. Judging from her clothes, she looked like a lady.

Noble and elegant temperament.

The man's voice is familiar.

"Little junior sister, let's go shopping somewhere else. I'm so full from the bowl of dried rice balls you served, haha. How about we go for a walk by the lake to digest..." He suggested sincerely.

The beauty in red clothes said crisply: "Let's go this way. It's also a walk to eat. Senior brother, the lanterns here are so beautiful and there are many people. Hey, look at that hairpin. It's quite beautiful."

"Um, are you sure you want to go this way? Dalang, the little princess is still waiting for us over there at the theater..."

"Hmm, Dalang and the others are not in a hurry. Senior brother, there are many people queuing up here...Look, the words on this sign, hey, I didn't expect this hairpin to have such a touching love entanglement." Her tone was low.

A little sad.

"This...this love story seems to be a bit much."

"What do you mean? Have you seen it too?"

"No... no, I haven't seen it!"

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and the two of them stood there without leaving.

"Elder brother, look, this hairpin is so beautiful." She spoke again.

"..."

Under Xie Lingjiang's halting and smiling gaze, Ouyang Rong buried his head, took the three taels of silver that she thoughtfully handed over, and stepped forward to line up.

But this time, for some unknown reason, he kept a low profile, standing behind the team and fanning silently, not daring to rush the slow-moving people in front.

But at a certain moment, Ouyang Rong, who was keeping a low profile and bowed his head in the team, still looked into the eyes of the chubby old man who was looking straight at him.

"Ahem." Ouyang Rong looked away as if nothing had happened and folded his fan to cover his face.

Grandfather and grandson:......??
