"Cheng Mu, is that you?" Yun Yun shouted to the person walking towards her.

The man didn't answer, he conjured up a lotus lantern like a magic trick, and handed the lamp pole to Yun Yun.

The lotus lantern is surrounded by pink lotus leaves, and the heart-shaped candle in the middle is burning, and the light makes the lotus lantern look brighter.

Yun Yun took the lotus lantern, carried the lamp pole, and put on Zhong Kui's mask.

Cheng Mu saw Yun Yun immersed in playing monkeys just now, and saw a lotus lantern seller not far away, so he hurried over to pick out the best-looking one, and when he came back, Yun Yun was standing on the stairs waiting for him.

Follow the crowd and continue to move forward. Only when you reach a fixed position by the river can you place lotus lanterns.

It has returned to spring, and the ice has already melted a few days ago, and a group of girls are happily lying by the river.

"A Yun, go over there." Cheng Mu protected Yun Yun and walked forward, stopping only when there were few people.

"I don't put lanterns anymore. If they are just floating in the river, they will sink in the water one day. When I bring them back, I can put them there to watch when the candles are extinguished."

As for the lanterns, Cheng Mu felt that it didn't matter, so the two of them planned to go shopping without putting the lanterns on. They walked to a restaurant and saw dozens of banners from the top of the building.

"Come on, let's take a look. As long as you can guess the lantern riddles correctly, you will win a reward. What is written at the bottom of each banner is the reward."

There are many scholars gathered under the restaurant, Yun Yun saw Yun Wu standing in the front at a glance.

Cheng Mu looked at the banner, "This reward is not bad. The higher you go, the more difficult it is. The one at the top is the reward, and there is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study."

Yun Yun looked up, and he was attracted by the Four Treasures of the Study. If he could get a set, he could practice calligraphy at home to pass the time.

"Uncover the bottom one first, and whoever knows it should say it loudly. The first one who is right will receive a reward." After the boy finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the first lantern riddle appeared on the stage.

"The answer to the riddle is a crooked signature and stuttering speech, and the answer is a common saying."

Yun Yun thought for a while and came up with an idea, but he didn't dare to show off and waited for others.

"I know, it's not right!" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy replied.

"Yang Xiubo, great job!" A few teenagers next to him praised, and the man named Yang Xiubo was not polite, showing his complacency on his face.

The servant brought up the reward, which was a small hibiscus lantern, and handed it to the person who answered correctly just now.

"Next to the second question, the mystery is that the beauty is lost and the village is chaotic."

"What's the answer to the riddle?" Yang Xiubo asked.

The little servant smiled and said, "Little brother, I didn't give you the answer this time, so you can figure it out for yourself."

Cheng Mu saw that the second question was much more difficult than the first one, and Yun Yun stood beside him with a confident look.He seems to underestimate Yun Yun, maybe he is more talented than he imagined. "You might as well tell me if you have the answer."

Yun Yun took Cheng Mu's hand and wrote two words on his palm.

The few scholars below thought about it for a long time, and some made up a few of them without getting the right answer.

"The beauty is gone, and the village is in chaos. Could it be that they are going to be displaced?" Yang Xiubo scratched his head and said.

"This is a lantern riddle, so it has nothing to do with the superficial meaning, so think about it carefully."

After a while, no one answered. Seeing that the riddle was about to be invalidated, Cheng Mu stepped forward, picked up the paper on the table and wrote two words.The boy took a look and showed the paper to the people below.

"How could the answer to this mystery be Li Feng?"

The boy explained, "All the beauties are gone, so Gui is the only one left. After the village is disrupted, being with Zi next to the wooden characters, and being with Gui is not a seal."

Everyone suddenly realized that there was still such a way to play.

"This time the reward is half a roast duck from the restaurant."

Cheng Mu came to the stage to take the wrapped roast duck, squeezed out of the crowd and stood with Yun Yun on the outside.

When Yun Wu saw Cheng Mu come on stage, he turned around and saw Yun Yun not far away. Both of them could answer the lantern riddles correctly!Cheng Mu is a rough guy, and Yun Yun hasn't been to school in the past two years, so many students in the school didn't answer the questions, he didn't even get angry when he thought about it.The roast duck in Zuixianlou is in short supply, usually you have to make a reservation first, and there are so many big families in the town who have to queue up, today it is considered cheap for them.

Yun Yun took the roast duck, and could smell the aroma through the butter paper outside.

"Want to eat, or should we find a place to eat now?"

Yun Yun shook her head, "I haven't finished guessing this lantern riddle yet, so I have to wait until the end anyway."

"The next mystery is the lake, water, moon, and birds singing."

Yun Yun looked at it and immediately had the answer in her heart. This time it was the same as before. The lake is ancient without the water and the moon. When the birds fly away, there is only one mouth left. The answer is goo.

With the first experience, it is easy to guess this time, the reward is a piece of pastry, and the next few are some simple ones, let everyone take the reward.

"The last one is tonight's grand prize. The riddle is Wenjun as a loon, Ziya Linxi, and the answer is an idiom."

The place was cold for a long time, and even Cheng Mu didn't guess what it meant, "A Yun, do you have an idea?"

Yun Yun knew the allusion of Zhuo Wenjun and Jiang Ziya, he was not sure whether the answer he thought was correct, after all the answer to the riddle did not exactly match the face of the riddle, it was a bit of a coincidence.

It was almost time, the boy said, "If no one can answer this question tonight, then no one will be able to take away the Four Treasures of the Study."

The people below all shook their heads. They really didn't know what this riddle meant. Some even gave up and went back.

The boy has already closed the stall, Yun Yun is still not sure, why don't she go for it.He stuffed the roast duck to Cheng Mu, stepped forward and said, "Is it just for fame?"

The servant was stunned, and said to the following, "This young master is right, the Four Treasures of the Study are his!"

Zhuo Wenjun sells wine, Jiang Ziya fishes, and Gu means to sell. Diaoyu is a homonym for fishing, so Yunyun came up with this idiom.

The four treasures of the study were placed in a box, and the servant handed the box to him and said, "Young Master, you can't achieve anything now, and in two or three years, I'm afraid no one can compare."

Yun Yun said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, it's just a momentary brainwashing."

Holding the box and leaving the stage, the people standing next to him all looked envious. The scholar has a good set of four treasures of the study, which can make a lot of face, and the reward of the Zuixian Tower will not be too bad.

Yun Wu had already left, but just after taking a few steps, he was led back by the cheers from behind. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yun Yun bent over to take the Four Treasures of the Study, and the anger accumulated in his heart, why could he get it!

Yang Xiubo saw a strange face on the stage to receive the award, he ran over happily and said, "I am Yang Xiubo, a scholar from Nanlin Academy, may I ask who you are?"

Yun Yun was intimidated by such an enthusiastic person. He also saw Yang Xiubo's answer to the riddle just now, and he was considered a talented person. "My name is Yunyun."

"You are not from the school, I think you are a freshman."

"No."

Yang Xiubo was very frustrated when he heard that, he originally thought that if he was in the school, he could ask for advice in the future.

"Xiubo, hurry back!"

Yang Xiubo came back, bid farewell to Yun Yun and ran over.
