Transmigration:A Genius Brother - Chapter 44
Of course, Luo Tianxiang just said that, but he was not willing to squeeze into the crowd. Thanks to Luo Qiuyun, he also said that he helped situ Hao speak as usual, so he misunderstood that he would rather play with situ Hao than find Luo Tianxiang.
The four people crossed the Wendou platform of the restaurant and came to a lantern riddle guessing stall in front of them. They saw many people competing for the first prize there. Luo Tianxiang was also attracted and encouraged to go on the stage by his young man situ Hao.
“Beautiful uncle, you go to guess, the first prize has fifty Liang silver,” Luo Tianxiang has always remembered that situ Hao was stolen because of his money, so he didn’t have any money to live in his own home, so he wanted to make some money for situ Hao.
However, he didn’t know that situ Hao was just making up an excuse to live in the Luo family. It was the biggest joke in the world to say that he had no money. However, to the child’s expectant eyes, situ Hao was on the challenge arena.
“Come on, beautiful uncle.” Luo Tianxiang learned this sentence from his mother Luo Qiuyun. Situ Hao was very excited to see him yell, and he was in a better mood.
Standing on the stage, he smiles at Luo Qiuyun and Luo Tianxiang. Then he takes up the first lantern riddle and reads it out:
hollow tree, with long leaves and a straight waist of one or two feet; old hair is white, with long ears but no grain. (guess a plant)
according to the regulations, situ Hao wrote the word “Reed” on the white paper, and the first level passed.
Then there is the second level. The lantern riddle says:
red screen, white mosquito net, and a black monk in the middle. (guess a fruit)
situ Hao wrote the word “litchi” with his pen. The stall owner nodded and counted him through.
Then to the third level, the riddle title is:
there are roots without mud, leaves without blossom, wandering around, never going home. (guess the name of a flower)
this time, situ Hao continued to write two words – “duckweed”, and he got it right again.
Three riddles in a row were guessed right at once, which naturally attracted many people’s attention. The stall owner also wanted situ Hao to win the first prize. Therefore, before he read the fourth question, he listed eight questions and handed them to him.
1、 Long life is not long. (guess plants)
2. It looks like a boat, with bones exposed, head and tail tilted, and tender meat hidden inside. (guess fruit)
3. Wear a green shirt all the year round, without long branches and natural leaves; its shape is like a pair of hands, and it is also extraordinary without training.
4、 Sijiqing, big palm, touch with hand, prick with hand.
5、 There is a bowl in the pond. It’s not enough when it rains.
6、 Brass bell, copper body, black iron core inside the bell.
7、 In winter, the Dragon lies on its plate, and in summer, it has many branches and leaves.
8、 Small trumpet, hang on the fence; look good, blow not sound.
According to the regulations, if situ Hao can solve all the eight questions, he will be qualified for the final, otherwise he will be eliminated.
Under the public attention, situ Hao wrote on the white paper in front of him: evergreen, water chestnut, cactus, cactus, lotus leaf, loquat and grape.
It doesn’t need to be said that we all know that’s the answer, but it’s too fast, right? The total time was less than a quarter of an hour. This time, people’s eyes to situ Hao became hot.
Sure enough, there is no lack of enthusiastic audience in every era! Nowadays, most of the people under the stage are shocked by situ haolu.
“Fierce, fierce, this little brother is sure to win the first prize!” One of the crowd stood up and praised situ Hao.
Some people started, naturally, there are many followers. The audience has already talked about it, and another voice said: “this little brother must have a good knowledge. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a lantern riddle in so many years. Compared with the person who won the top prize, it’s better for him.”
“Yes, such a wise man will win the first prize.”
“……”
After a while of discussion, situ Hao’s brilliant performance was the haze of the other candidates. The stall owner seemed to guess everyone’s thoughts, and without delay, he called the five people who were qualified for today’s final together.
“This year’s Lantern Festival is really full of talents. It’s these five contestants who are lucky to enter the final. Next, we’ll have the final round. I hope you can do your best!” The stall owner said in public, and then five people arched their hands.
There are three final questions that need to be answered by the candidates. It is stipulated that the winner of the evening will be the one who is the most right.
When the stall owner announced the rules of the game to the public, he read out the first topic:
the first topic: Mid Autumn Moon.
“Aboveboard and aboveboard,” situ Hao said an idiom while people pondered, and was told that it was the correct answer.
Second: dog bites dog.
“Gnawing at the bone.” One of the contestants answered that he was preempted by situ Hao because of the previous question. This time, he wanted to take the initiative.
Unfortunately, when the answer came out, the stall owner shook his head and told him, “it’s not right.”
Without waiting for the candidate to argue, another contestant gave his own answer, saying, “it’s my fault.””Wrong.” The stall owner still rejected it mercilessly.
This time, it was finally situ Hao’s turn to speak, and his answer was: “teeth crisscross.”
“How do you know?” Before waiting for the stall owner to open his mouth, another player who couldn’t figure out the answer looked at situ Hao and asked.
“Guess.”
“Ha ha.” Seeing that situ Hao only used two words, they choked each other and couldn’t help laughing.
“The answer is correct.” When the stall owner said this, he gave a happy look to situ Hao. After all, the person who answered the two questions correctly was him. With the previous performance, it was enough to prove that situ Hao had real talent.
Then to the third question, which is also the last question of the lantern riddle, the stall owner only read three words: watershed.
“Self knowledge.” Situ Hao said.
One of them didn’t know that situ Hao’s three words were the answer. He misunderstood that he was laughing at himself for having self-knowledge. Don’t compete with him. He couldn’t help but stare at situ Hao. Then he asked in public: “who wants self-knowledge? I’m not sure I’ll be able to guess later. ”
“Poof.” Someone laughed on the spot.
Situ Hao didn’t have time to talk to him. He said, “you don’t have a chance.”
The man didn’t believe it and said, “do you mean no chance, Laozi…”
Of course, his words were not complete because the stall owner had already come forward to mediate.
“The answer to the watershed is self-knowledge. This young man is right in three ways. He is the leader of this year’s Lantern Festival.” As the stall owner said, he told the little two around him to take the prepared colored head and give it to situ Hao.
Thank you very much. I wish you a prosperous business Situ Hao took the lottery and said a lucky word. He didn’t stop for a long time. When he stepped down, he immediately went to find Luo Qiuyun and them.
After situ Hao left, the man knew that he had just made a joke and left with a disheartened face.
Seeing situ Hao coming back, Luo Tianxiang pounced on him, “beautiful uncle has won. Beautiful uncle is really powerful!” He said and danced to show his excitement.
“Congratulations, master situ.” Chen Jing took over the fifty-two colored heads he handed to Luo Qiuyun and said a congratulatory word with a smile.
Only Luo Qiuyun just smile, a pair of early guess will be such a result of the expression.
“Let’s go, Tianli. I’m afraid they are waiting for us.” Luo Qiuyun said.
Situ Hao nodded, holding Luo Tianxiang to keep up with Chen Jingdian. When they arrived at the appointed place, they found that Luo Tianli and Shen San had been waiting for them for a long time.
“Sister, where have you been? I can’t find you.” Luo Tianli goes to Luo Qiuyun on purpose to complain.
“To see people guess lantern riddles.”
“What’s good about guessing lantern riddles?” After listening to Luo Qiuyun’s words, Shen San doesn’t think so and inserts a sentence. As a result, he is despised by Luo Tianxiang.
“Uncle Shen didn’t see it. Of course, it’s not good-looking. Uncle beautiful won the first prize fifty-two in lantern riddles tonight. It’s amazing!”
“What, he won the first prize?” Shen San listened to Luo Tianxiang’s words and couldn’t help looking up and down at situ Hao. However, she couldn’t see that this man still had this ability.
Seeing his disbelief on his face, Chen Jing rarely stood up and said a fair word: “young master Shen, what young master said is true.”
“Hum, that’s because I’m not there. If I’m there, I’m sure I’m better than him.” As soon as Shen San’s temper came up, he sometimes turned stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
However, when he said this, everyone except Luo Tianxiang didn’t hear him.
“What? You don’t believe it? ” Shen San felt despised by everyone, and immediately yelled to compare with situ Hao.
Luo Qiuyun is speechless.
What’s more, she didn’t want to hear them quarrel at such a time. She could only interrupt and say, “I want to compare with you slowly. Now I’m going to see the river lantern. If I don’t want to go, go away quickly!”
Aware of the anger in Luo Qiuyun’s tone, Shen San immediately came back to her, lowered her posture and said, “go, of course, elder sister. We’ll go now. I know there’s a place where there are few people. It’s most suitable for us to enjoy the river lantern there.”
Although situ Hao didn’t speak, he nodded to Luo Qiuyun to show his position. At the beginning, he didn’t want to argue with a child, so he didn’t pay any attention to Shen San’s provocation.
Later, they came to the riverside together. Luo Qiuyun found that there were a lot of people playing lanterns tonight. Most of them were traveling in twos and threes. Some of them came to join the fun in groups. Of course, there were also some young men and girls who came out alone to make a wish by holding a lantern
Because the time to come is late, the position that we thought of before has been occupied. Luo Qiuyun and others walk along the river embankment.
In the hustle and bustle of people, while watching the various lanterns floating in the river slowly drifting away along the water, they are looking for a suitable location. They even want to learn from others and find a place to put the ice lanterns brought out today into the water for a try.Come to a relatively secluded place, just at one end of a stone arch bridge, Luo Qiuyun and others stand on the left side, in front of a small washing dock.
“Sister, there is no one over there. Shall we go down and play?” Asked Luo Tianli.
By the light of the lantern coming from the river, Luo Qiuyun shook his head, “no, it’s too dark here. Be careful to fall into the water.”
