"Hey, boss, we will too, we will too." Suddenly several young people in the crowd shouted loudly.

The chubby boss listened to what they said, and said with a smile, "Then you guys keep coming, you keep talking."

It is said that the Nian beast has a big head and a small body. Its body is more than ten feet long. Its eyes are like copper bells, and it comes and goes like the wind.Over time, people gradually discovered that the Nian Beast was afraid of three things, namely red, fire and loud noises; so later on when the Nian Beast was coming, people would gather together and stick red paper (later changed to sticking peach charms). or paste red couplets), hang red lanterns, set off firecrackers, etc., the purpose is to drive away the Nian beast.After the beast was driven away, people would always happily say to each other: "It's been another year."

"Not bad, not bad, your story is not bad, here is this for you." The boss gave the young boy a lantern with a smile, and as the children told the story, many children also started eager to try, and ran to compete for the story story.

"Cousin Ruoruo, I'll give you this rabbit lantern." Mu Duo'er ran over with a smile, and gave the lantern in her hand to Xi Ruo.

"Okay, thank you, Duo'er." Xi Ruo took the lantern in her hand with some amusement.

Afterwards, the two held hands and continued to stroll down the street. Fu Junmu, who had been quietly following them not far away, looked a little displeased, but for the safety of his little wife, he did not ignore them on purpose. He just followed them not far or near.

"Young Madam?" Zero's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Huh? Sister Ling, why are you here? Are you going to guess lantern riddles with us?" Mu Duoer asked with a smile.

"Miss Hui Mu, Master asked me to come here." Ling said respectfully.

"Oh, let's go shopping together." Xi Ruo said casually, looking at the rabbit lantern in her hand.

"Okay, young lady."

Then the group of three walked on the street at an unhurried pace. Mu Duo'er was the most curious person who couldn't stay, she just wanted to run out, and kept looking at the street. Some little gadgets next to it, but I can't put it down.

"Don't miss it when you pass by!" 
"Everyone, look over here, don't miss it when you pass by!"

"Attention! Attention! Attention!"

The sound from a distance attracted the curiosity of Mu Duoer and Xi Ruo, they looked over at the same time and saw a little boy dressed as a rich man who kept selling.

"Little friend, why are you here alone?" Xi Ruo asked curiously.

".No, how did you find out that I'm a kid? I'm already nineteen. If I were in ancient times, I would be able to start a family." The little boy looked at Xi Ruo with some dissatisfaction and said.

"Ah? Then why do you look so small, and why are you here alone?" Xi Ruo became more and more interested in seeing this little boy, not because he looks better, but because of this boy No matter how you look at it, you feel that the temperament on your body is very unusual.

"Hey! Auntie! Do you want to guess the lantern riddles? If you don't, just give way. There are still people behind." The boy said impatiently, rolling his eyes.

Xi Ruo couldn't help not being angry when she heard him calling her aunt, on the contrary she thought it was a little funny, but Mu Duo'er didn't allow anyone to say that about her cousin Ruoruo at all.

"Hey, you little rascal, how do you talk, can you talk?" Mu Duoer yelled at the boy with his hands on his hips.

"You—you—this shrew, what did you call me just now, ruffian, does the young master look like a ruffian?" The young man Xu was so angry that he spoke in a confusing manner, and was speechless for a while.

"What's the matter, Miss Ben is a shrew, what can you do to me?" Mu Duo'er deliberately took a few steps forward, leaned against the boy, and whispered into his ear.

"You—you—" The boyish face turned red, but he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Duo'er, come back, let's take a look at his lantern riddle." Xi Ruo looked at the two people as if they were fighting cocks with some amusement, staring at each other.

"Hmph! Miss Ben doesn't care about you." Mu Duo'er flicked her sleeves and stood beside Xi Ruo.

"Cut, I don't care about you, after all, it's hard to raise a villain and a woman!" The boy rolled his eyes and said.

"Pfft——" Xi Ruo couldn't bear it anymore, she held Ling's shoulders and kept laughing, and said intermittently while laughing, "You—why are you two so funny? It’s ancient Chinese, huh?”

"Cousin Ruoruo~" When Mu Duoer heard that Xi Ruo was laughing at her, she acted coquettishly at Xi Ruo in embarrassment.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, come on, let's take a look at this lantern riddle." Xi Ruo said casually pointing to a piece of paper above her head.

The two looked at the paper above their heads. There were many riddles written on it, but there were simple ones and some difficult ones.

"Duo'er, how many times my cousin asked you, can you answer them?" Xi Ruo asked curiously.

"Sure, cousin, you can ask me." Mu Duoer said confidently, patting her chest.

"Tch!" Suddenly the boy snorted with some disdain.

"Why, don't you believe it? Then Bibi, do you dare?" Mu Duo'er grabbed the boy's sleeve and asked.

"Okay, come as soon as you come, what should you do if you win?" The young man looked at Mu Duo'er provocatively.

"Win, if you win, I will - I will give you this pendant of mine." Mu Duo'er looked at the things on her body and said with some disdain.

"Okay, it's a deal." The young man looked at her pendant, feeling certain that he would get it.

"Wait, what if I win and you lose?" Mu Duo'er stared at the young man and asked.

"Me? How could I lose?" the boy said with a smile on his face.

"That's not necessarily the case. Why, you dare not, or are you inferior?" Mu Duo'er asked more and more provocatively.

"Why don't I dare, come here, if I lose, then I-I-" The boy thought for a while but couldn't think of any better way.

"Why, can't you make a bet?" Mu Duo'er asked with raised eyebrows, looking at his hesitation.

"No, I don't have anything, tell me, I lost, what do you want me to do?" the boy said speechlessly.

"Me? Are you sure?" Mu Duo'er looked at him with a funny face and asked.

"Yes, you said, what do you want me to do, as long as it's not murder and arson, I will definitely do it." The boy said plausibly.

"Okay, let's talk about it after you lose, let's start first." Mu Duo'er said with a strange smile.

"Wait, you two little ones just made up your mind? I haven't said anything yet?" Xi Ruo said while looking at the two in confusion.

"Cousin Ruoruo, don't worry, Duo'er will definitely win, so you can tell us the title." Mu Duo'er looked at Xi Ruo as if you believed in me.

"Okay." Xi Ruo responded speechlessly, rolling her eyes and thinking, are all the kids these days so bold, and dare to come out and bet with others at such an age.

"Come on, the first question, iron rooster, type an idiom." Xi Ruo looked at the note on it and read.

"Me!" Mu Duo'er hurriedly raised her hand, for fear of being robbed.

"Iron cock." But the boy answered directly.

"." Xi Ruo looked at the two brats and felt a little speechless.

"Cousin Ruoruo, he's playing tricks, he obviously started by raising his hand." Mu Duo'er pointed at the boy angrily and said.

"What? Do you know that there is a saying that strikes first, you are hypocritical, you can just say no, why do you have to raise your hand." The boy said with some disgust.

"What? Do you understand the rules?" Mu Duo'er was so angry that she almost jumped up and fought with the boy.

"Okay, okay, let's forget about this game, let's start again, that's okay, don't you have this button in your hand, whoever presses it first will answer, how about it?" Xi Ruo said softly Asked and adopted their opinions.

"Okay, cousin Ruoruo, I'll listen to you." Mu Duo'er said delicately.

"Okay, auntie, I agree." The boy looked at Xi Ruo and said casually.

"Shut up, who allowed you to call me cousin sister-in-law, I'm still your uncle." Mu Duo'er was so angry when she heard this, she stood up immediately, and was about to beat up the boy.

"Stop, stop, Duo'er, come and sit down, the aunt is the aunt, you have never seen such a beautiful aunt, have you, it's okay, come and let's continue guessing the lantern riddles." Xi Ruo calmed down between the two of them like an old man with.

Before Mu Duo'er could speak, Xi Ruo said, "Come on, come on, this question is about climbing the stairs, type an idiom."

"Pickup—" Muduoer's button rang first.

"Okay, Duo Er, you answer, your button rings fast." Xi Ruo stood up, looked at the two of them and said.

"Okay, Cousin Ruoruo, the answer is step by step." Mu Duo'er looked at the boy provocatively and said.

"Okay, Duo'er got the answer right, plus one point. Let's listen to the next question, north and south are safe, tilt left and right, and type an idiom." Xi Ruo asked with a note in her hand.

"Huba—" This time it was the boy's button that rang.

"Come on, you answer." Xi Ruo said while looking at him with a smile on her face.

"The answer is staggering." The boy said it without hesitation.

"Okay, your answer is also correct, you add one point, please listen to the next question. Junshi is new to change his official position, and beat a historian." Xi Ruo looked at the question with some amusement, and asked casually.

"Huba—"

Unsurprisingly, this time it was the boy who rang the button again, "The answer is Sima Qian."

"Okay, the answer is correct, one more point." Xi Ruo said with a suppressed smile.

"." Mu Duo'er looked angrily at the young man who was a little taller than her, a little inexplicably aggrieved, and said in her heart: Don't think that you can answer everything right just because you wear an ancient costume!
