Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Chapter 82: Xiaoyanzi's Fantastic Ideas

The Huibin Building was still bustling with laughter and joy. The sun shone through the cracks in the windows onto the ground, forming bright rays of light, and the air was filled with the aroma of food and the mellow fragrance of wine.

Xiaoyanzi was sitting on a chair, her eyes rolling around. Suddenly she stood up, clapped her hands, and said excitedly: "Let's play a game!" Her eyes were shining and full of anticipation, and her body jumped unconsciously.

Yongqi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What game is it, Xiaoyanzi?" Yongqi leaned forward, staring at Xiaoyanzi, while one hand was playing with the wine glass on the table.

The little swallow smiled so that her eyes narrowed into slits and said, "Let's play a game of riddles. I'll give one first. The curved vines climb up the trellis, and strings of pearls grow on it." The little swallow spoke while making the shape of the trellis in the air with her hands.

Ziwei tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "I know this, it's grapes." Ziwei placed her hand lightly on her chin, her eyes revealing intelligence.

Little Swallow stamped her feet and said, "Ziwei, you are so smart. Let me give you another one. A small golden jar with golden dumplings in it. Eat the golden dumplings and spit out white beads." After Little Swallow finished speaking, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, she put her hands behind her back, and swayed her body from side to side.

Ertai touched his chin, thought for a while, and replied: "This is an orange. The orange peel is like a golden jar, the orange segments are like golden dumplings, and the orange seeds are white beads." After Ertai finished speaking, he smiled proudly and leaned back in his chair.

The little swallow puffed up her cheeks and said, "Ertai, you are also very good. Let me come up with another one. A curved tree, a curved vine, and crystal bells hanging on the vine." The little swallow jumped onto the stool, waving her hands, imitating the look of things hanging on the vine.

Princess Seya said loudly: "I know this one, it's grapes. The answer is the same as the first one." Princess Seya put her hands on her hips with a confident smile on her face.

The little swallow jumped down from the stool, shook his head and said, "This is not a grape. Let me give you another tip, this is a crooked tree, which is very common in the summer." The little swallow's eyes opened wide and he gestured the size with his hands in front of his chest.

Liu Qing scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said tentatively: "Is that a plum? The plum tree is also curved, and the plums hanging on the tree are like crystal bells." With uncertainty in his eyes, Liu Qing leaned forward slightly and looked at Xiaoyanzi.

Little Swallow shook her head again and said, "No. This thing is green on the outside and red on the inside, and tastes sweet." There was a cunning look in Little Swallow's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Liu Hong's eyes lit up and she said, "That must be a watermelon. The watermelon vine is curved, and the watermelon hangs on the vine like a crystal bell. The watermelon rind is green, the flesh is red, and it tastes sweet." Liu Hong's face was filled with excitement and she sat up straight.

Little Swallow clapped her hands and said, "Liu Hong, you are so clever. Let me come up with another one. A red lantern, fat and filled with gems." Little Swallow drew a big circle in the air with her hands, imitating the shape of a lantern.

Little Dengzi whispered at the side: "Princess, is this a pomegranate? The pomegranate skin is red like a red lantern, and the pomegranate seeds are like gems." There was a flattering smile in Little Dengzi's eyes, and his body was slightly bent.

Little Swallow smiled and said, "Little Dengzi, you are also very smart. Let me give you another one. Sit side by side in a curved boat, and take off the yellow robe when old." Little Swallow sat on the stool, dangling her legs from side to side, looking at everyone.

Mingyue thought for a while and said, "Is this a banana? Bananas are curved like boats, and the banana peel is yellow, just like a yellow robe." Mingyue's voice was crisp, and there was doubt in her eyes.

Little Swallow shook her head and said, "This is not a banana. When you peel it open it is in petals, and they are white." Little Swallow picked up the chopsticks on the table and gestured the petals in the air.

Caixia said: "Is this garlic? The garlic cloves are white and curved like small boats, and the garlic skin is like clothes." Caixia's eyes were full of anticipation, and her hands were clasped tightly together.

The little swallow jumped up and said, "Caixia, you're right. Let me give you another one. Green vines and leaves are crawling all over the ground, and big yellow flowers are in full bloom." The little swallow ran around on the ground, imitating the way vines spread.

Yongqi smiled and said, "I know this, it's a pumpkin. The pumpkin vine is green, the leaves are green, and the pumpkin flowers are yellow." Yongqi's eyes showed confidence and he sat upright.

The little swallow came up with another riddle: "The body is very long, the flowers are very yellow, the face is like the sun, and the seeds are very fragrant." The little swallow drew a circle next to its face with both hands, representing the face.

Erkang replied: "This is a sunflower. The sunflower has a long stem, the flower is yellow, the disk is like the sun, and the seeds are very fragrant." Erkang tapped the table lightly with his hands, his eyes calm.

When the little swallow was about to come up with another riddle, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Curious, the little swallow ran to the window, stood on tiptoe and looked out, her eyes wide open, and said, "Why are there so many people outside? It seems like they are fighting over something."

Yongqi also came over, stood behind Xiaoyanzi, stretched his neck to take a look, and said, "It looks like two vendors are arguing. I wonder what it's about." Yongqi frowned and put his hands on the windowsill.

The little swallow rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can help." After that, the little swallow ran to the door, her steps as light as a deer.

Ziwei quickly stood up and said, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be impulsive. Let's understand the situation first before we go to help." Ziwei said as she straightened her clothes and quickly followed Xiaoyanzi.

Everyone stood up and followed Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei outside.

When we got outside, we saw two vendors arguing with each other. One vendor had a basket of fruit in front of him, and the other had some trinkets in front of him.

Little Swallow walked forward, put her hands on her hips and said loudly: "Why are you arguing? It's such an important day and everyone is celebrating. It's not nice for you to be like this." Little Swallow's eyes swept across the faces of the two vendors.

The fruit vendor said, "I came to this position first, but he insisted on putting his things here and took up my space." The vendor pointed at the trinkets vendor with anger in his eyes.

The trinkets vendor was not to be outdone and said, "I only moved a little bit, and you're so stingy. Besides, you even took up my space yesterday." He folded his hands over his chest, leaned back, and looked unconvinced.

Xiaoyanzi thought for a while and said, "It's not a good idea for you to fight like this. How about this: you put all your things in front of Huibin Building. Huibin Building is opening today and there will be a lot of people. Your business will definitely be good." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of excitement. She felt that she had come up with a good idea.

The fruit vendor hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this okay? Won't it affect your business?" There was doubt in the vendor's eyes as he looked at Xiaoyanzi.

Liu Qing came over and said with a smile: "It's okay. Everyone is happy today and it's lively with more people. And your presence here can add some popularity to Huibin Building." Liu Qing patted the vendor's shoulder.

After hearing this, the trinkets vendor said happily, "Thank you so much." He quickly put his stuff at the entrance of the guest house.

The fruit vendors also brought their fruit baskets over.

Little Swallow looked at them and said with a smile, "Look, this is so good. If everyone helps each other, business will get better." Little Swallow waved her hands in the air.

At this time, a child ran over, stared at the apples in the fruit basket, and swallowed.

When the little swallow saw this, she squatted down and asked the child: "Little boy, do you want to eat an apple?" The little swallow's voice was very gentle and her eyes were full of kindness.

The child nodded a little shyly.

The little swallow took an apple from the fruit basket and handed it to the child, saying, "This apple is for you." The little swallow gently stroked the child's head.

The child took the apple and said happily, "Thank you, sister." Then he ran away.

The fruit vendor said anxiously: "Princess, how could you do this? I haven't paid for the apples yet." There was anxiety in the vendor's eyes as he looked at Xiaoyanzi.

Little Swallow smiled and said, "Today is a happy day. An apple is nothing. Just consider it as my treat to the kids." Little Swallow's eyes showed a carefree look.

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "Princess Xiaoyan is so kind."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was an old woman. The old woman came over slowly and said, "Gege's action reminded me of something in the past." The old woman's eyes were full of memories, and she was leaning on a cane.

The little swallow asked curiously, "Old lady, what's the past?" The little swallow walked to the old lady and stared at her face.

The old woman said, "I also had a daughter as kind as Gege. Once, we met a hungry beggar on the road, and my daughter gave all her dry food to the beggar." The old woman's voice trembled a little, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Ziwei walked over, gently supported the old woman, and said, "Old woman, your daughter must be a very kind person." Ziwei's eyes were full of sympathy.

The old woman nodded and said, "But later she fell seriously ill and left me." The old woman's tears flowed down and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Little Swallow's eyes also turned red, and she said, "Old lady, don't be too sad. Your daughter in heaven will be very happy to see you so healthy." Little Swallow held the old woman's hand and patted it gently.

The old woman said gratefully: "Thank you for your comfort. Seeing that Gege is so kind, I feel like I have seen my own daughter." A smile appeared on the old woman's face.

At this time, Yongqi said, "Old lady, the hotel is opening today. Please come in and have something to eat." Yongqi made a gesture of invitation with his hand.

The old woman quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no. I still have things to do." The old woman turned around and slowly left.

Little Swallow looked at the old woman's back and said, "This old woman is so pitiful." There was a hint of sadness in Little Swallow's eyes.

Ziwei said: "Yes, but we did some good things today, which can be regarded as adding a little warmth to the world." Ziwei put her hand on Xiaoyanzi's shoulder, comforting her.

Xiaoyanzi nodded and said, "Ziwei, you are right. Let's go back to Huibin Building and continue playing." Xiaoyanzi's mood became excited again. She took Ziwei's hand and walked towards Huibin Building.

Everyone followed him back to the Huibin Building.

After returning to the Huibin Building, Xiaoyanzi started to make riddles again.

The little swallow said, "The tree is purple, and it blooms purple flowers. The purple flowers bloom and bear purple melons, and the purple melons are filled with sesame seeds." There was mischief in the little swallow's eyes. She sat on the stool, leaning forward.

Ertai thought for a while and said, "This must be an eggplant. Eggplant is purple and shaped like a melon, with seeds inside like sesame seeds." Ertai had a smug smile on his face and his hands tapped lightly on the table.

Little Swallow came up with another one: "Red pocket, green pocket, some people are afraid, some people love it." Little Swallow's eyes scanned everyone's faces, with her hands on her knees.

Princess Seya said loudly: "I know this, it's chili pepper. Chili peppers come in red and green varieties. People who are afraid of spicy food are afraid of it, while people who like spicy food love it." Princess Seya put her hands on her hips with a confident smile on her face.

The little swallow went on to say, "A hemp house, a red tent, and a fat white man living inside." As the little swallow spoke, she gestured with her hands to illustrate the shapes of the house, the tent, and the fat man.

Liu Hong smiled and said, "This is peanut. The peanut shell is the hemp house, the peanut skin is the red tent, and the peanut is the white fat man." Liu Hong's eyes were filled with excitement, and her body was shaking slightly.

The little swallow asked a more difficult question: "It has a head but no neck, its body is cold, it has wings but cannot fly, and it can walk without feet." The little swallow stared at everyone and sat up straight.

Yongqi thought for a long time and then said, "Is this a fish? Fish have a head but no neck, their bodies are cold, their fins are like wings but they cannot fly, and they have no feet but can swim." There was uncertainty in Yongqi's eyes as he looked at Xiaoyanzi.

Xiaoyanzi clapped her hands and said, "Yongqi, you're right. Let me give you another one. Seven or eight brothers sit around a pillar. When they separate, their clothes get torn." Xiaoyanzi drew a circle on the table to represent a pillar.

Erkang replied: "This is garlic. The garlic cloves are like brothers surrounding the garlic stem. When you peel it, the garlic skin will be torn like clothes." Erkang touched his chin with his hand, his eyes calm.

When the little swallow was about to give another riddle, she suddenly heard a melodious flute sound. She stood up curiously and said, "Where does the flute sound come from? It sounds so beautiful." The little swallow looked around and walked towards the direction of the flute sound unconsciously.

Yongqi also stood up, followed Xiaoyanzi and said, "Let's go and take a look." Yongqi put his hand on the sword at his waist, his eyes alert.

Everyone stood up and followed Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi towards the direction of the flute sound.

They walked into a small courtyard and saw a young man playing the flute. The sound of the man's flute was melodious and beautiful, as if it could bring people into a beautiful world.

Little Swallow walked up and said softly, "You play the flute so beautifully." Little Swallow's eyes were filled with envy. She put her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly.

The young man put down the flute, smiled and said, "Thank you. I was just playing it casually." The man's voice was very gentle, and there was a hint of shyness in his eyes.

Ziwei said, "You play so well, you must have put a lot of effort into it." Admiration was in Ziwei's eyes, and her hand was gently placed on her chest.

The young man said, "I just like playing the flute and I practice for a while every day." The man's hand gently stroked the flute, with love in his eyes.

Ertai said, "Can you play another tune? Your flute sounds really beautiful." There was anticipation in Ertai's eyes, and he leaned forward a little.

The young man nodded, picked up the flute and started playing again. This time the music was more melodious, as if telling a touching story.

Everyone was immersed in the sound of the flute, with intoxicated expressions on their faces.

When the flute playing ended, Xiaoyanzi said, "You played very well. Have you ever thought about playing it in Huibinlou? Huibinlou is opening today. If you play the flute there, it will definitely attract a lot of people." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were full of excitement and her hands were waving in the air.

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I go?" There was uncertainty in the man's eyes as he looked at Xiaoyanzi.

Liu Qing said: "Of course. We welcome you to play the flute in Huibin Building." Liu Qing made a welcoming gesture with his hand.

The young man said happily: "Thank you so much." An excited smile appeared on his face.

So, everyone took the young man back to the Huibin Building.

After returning to the guest house, the young man began to play the flute. His flute attracted many guests, and everyone gathered around to listen, making the atmosphere in the guest house even more lively.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the lively scene and said with a smile, "Today is so much fun." Xiaoyanzi's eyes were filled with happiness and she patted Yongqi's shoulder.

Yongqi also smiled and said, "Yes, a lot of interesting things happened today." Yongqi held Xiaoyanzi's hand, his eyes full of love.

Ziwei looked at them and said with a smile, "I hope we can be this happy every day in the future." There was longing in Ziwei's eyes.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The guest house was filled with laughter and everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere.
