The heartthrob is obsessed with his brother
Chapter 14 Guessing the Riddle
"Hahaha, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that I just guessed in the lantern riddle, come and try it..." A young man said while holding the pastry and bringing it to the mouth of the man walking next to him.
When I heard "Osmanthus Crisp", I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart. Ruien En looked at the two people and couldn't help but remember: when he was in the palace, he was like this every time. While eating the sweet and delicious Osmanthus Crisp, he would give it to Mo Xuanquan next to him.
Seeing Ruien'en standing motionless and staring at the two people's backs, Mu Zixin shook the little hands he held: "Brother En'en also wants to eat osmanthus cake, right? Why don't we go to the front and guess lantern riddles too? Bar!"
On both sides of the street, colorful lanterns were hung in a long queue, and the end could not be seen at a glance. Each lantern has a small wooden sign hanging from it, with a number and a lantern riddle written on it.
If anyone sees it and knows it, he can take down the wooden sign, go to a high platform in front of a restaurant called Yue Feng not far away, and ask the waiter waiting there to tell the answer to the riddle. If the answer is correct, the waiter will register, and then another waiter next to him will present the corresponding prize.
Ruien En and Mu Zixin held hands all the way, running under the lamps and looking up at the puzzles on the wooden signs.
"..."
"..."
The two of them looked at the lanterns one by one, and there were no less than a hundred lanterns in succession. Their necks were sore from lifting them. As a result, you looked at me and I looked at you every time, speechless.
The two of them, who couldn't guess anything, were a little dejected.
In the previous life, Ruienen learned simple reading in an orphanage before he was eight years old. Later, when he grew older, he also learned some on the Internet using a computer, but he had not been exposed to a few poems and essays.
When we come to ‘Tianyan Star’, many things here are very similar to those on ancient Earth.
Before the age of three, he only learned the language. After the age of three, he attended classes and received education with many children in the palace.
From the moment he was born in this life, he had always planned to eat, drink, have fun, and live a relaxed life. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, and never studied seriously.
Although Mu Zixin is three years older than Ruien En, his cultural level is the same. When he was at home, he was only interested in two things: one was having fun and the other was martial arts.
Seeing another lantern riddle whose meaning he didn't understand, Ruien's yearning for the erudite, knowledgeable and talented Mo Xuanquan reached its peak.
From a distance, I saw an oversized lantern hanging on the high platform in front of Yuefeng Restaurant. According to passers-by, that is the Lantern King tonight. It is said that whoever can guess the puzzle of the Lantern King's pendant will get a bonus of ten taels of silver.
Under the high stage, there were many men and women dressed up as talented people and beautiful ladies, gathering together to watch the speculations. There were also some passers-by watching the excitement.
“Which one is more powerful, the white chicken or the black chicken? (Please give the correct reason)”
"What's the title of this?" The crowd under the Lantern King were talking about this big and beautiful lantern with its hanging wooden sign.
Some people say it is a white chicken; others say it is a black chicken! Some say it’s because white chickens grow bigger; others say it’s because black chickens are braver by nature…
There are different opinions and endless debates! But no one gave the correct answer and got the ten taels of silver bonus!
Ruien En and Mu Zixin stood by the crowd and listened for a long time. Mu Zixin was completely watching the fun, while Ruien En was in a daze:
Isn't this the brainteaser I saw online in my last life? I remember that during the Lantern Festival last year, I tried to use this to embarrass Mo Xuanquan! …
He turned his head excitedly and looked around. There were people everywhere, but he didn't see the familiar figure in his heart.
Smiling self-deprecatingly, he closed his eyes, abandoned his unrealistic fantasies, raised his head and pulled Mu Zixin up and walked towards the waiter in charge of registration.
"Go, go, go... two little beggars, go on your way... don't block other people here." The waiter in charge of the registration covered his nose and waved his hands, while scolding them in disgust.
Some people nearby who were watching the excitement also covered their noses and pointed at the two.
Mu Zixin frowned in displeasure and said angrily: "Who are you calling a little beggar?"
"Hey! You little beggar is quite fierce. If you don't get out of here, I'll be rude to you." The waiter stood up and raised his hands to the two of them, looking like he was going to beat them up.
When had Mu Zixin ever experienced such contempt and provocation? He was so angry that he wanted to step forward to take action, but Ruien's quick eyesight and quick hands pulled him back.
With eyes that comforted Mu Zixin, Ruienen didn't care much about the waiter's attitude, nor did he care about the dislike of others present. He asked loudly: "Do you have any rules about who can't answer questions?"
The waiter dismissed it and laughed softly: "There are no rules. Is it possible that you, a little beggar, can answer it?"
"How did you know I couldn't answer it?" Ruien replied. "I see that you, a mere little servant, are so arrogant and look down on others, so I have to worry that if I get the answer right, will you deliberately make things difficult for me and not redeem the prize for me?"
"Haha, you are a little brat who is not afraid of flashing your tongue when you talk big. There are so many people here today who can't answer the question. How come you, a little brat, want to get the bonus of ten taels of silver? Just dream!" The waiter said with excitement. It's contempt.
"Whether I can answer or not is my business. I don't believe you. Go and ask your supervisor to come out. I want to tell him face to face." Ruien grew up in the palace. Even though his clothes were ragged, his temperament could not be hidden. living.
The waiter wanted to say something else, but a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, raised his hands to Ruien En and said: "This young master, Liu Fu, is the steward here. If the young master can tell the answer and tell the truth, That’s right, this bonus will definitely go to the young master.”
Liu Fu has been observing them in the crowd since Ruien and En came to the waiter.
He found that although the two children were dirty and torn all over, upon closer inspection, he could faintly see that the material of their clothes was unusual.
Especially the shorter one, the materials and embroidery styles he wears are definitely not what ordinary people can see.
And from the general demeanor and the order of speech, he could be sure that these two children were definitely not real little beggars.
I just don’t know…?
Years of experience as a steward reminded him not to meddle in other people’s business!
Seeing that the steward who called himself Liu Fu had sincere eyes and a correct attitude, Ruien En walked to the table and picked up a pen to write down the answer seriously.
After writing it, he repeated it loudly: "The answer is black chicken! Because black chickens can lay white eggs, but white chickens cannot lay black eggs!"
The scene was silent...
"Hahaha...that's absolutely correct!" Liu Fu's hahaha broke the silence of the scene.
"Congratulations, young master, these ten taels of silver are now yours." Liu Fu smiled and handed over the silver he took from another young attendant.
The audience was all talking. Some people beat their chests and stamped their feet, shouting:
"Ah? The answer is so simple? Why didn't I think of it...?"
"Yeah...it's so simple, I didn't even think of it!"?
Ruien En calmly took the silver in the eyes of everyone, either envious or contemptuous, grabbed Mu Zixin, who was standing beside him, with stars shining in his purple eyes, and quickly ran into Yuefeng Restaurant...
