Chapter 167 Lantern Festival .

Li Ang's robe was also tightened, and he slowly lowered his head. Zhan Doudou's hands almost tore the robe into pieces!
"Don't pull it, I picked it up, didn't I?"

I was thinking of guessing a few lantern riddles, but now I have them. It seems I have to buy some first. Didn't you see that everyone else has one or two lanterns in their hands, but Zhan Doudou has nothing in his hands?

Helplessly, he turned around and asked the seller, "How much is the largest lamp on the second floor?"

"Fifty taels!"

A certain unscrupulous businessman raised the price.

Someone gritted his teeth and bought it.

Zhan Doudou took the lamp with a blushing face, her face full of shyness, but she still covered her mouth and said teasingly: "My Mr. Li, you are also one of the richest people in the world today, why do you still feel sorry for these fifty taels?"

"I don't feel sorry for this profiteer." Li Ang couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He did make a lot of money, and it was easy for him. But he never lived a wasteful life. He saved all the money he earned for lottery draws. I never saw him spend it.

The main reason is that in the previous life, I didn’t have the habit of spending money lavishly. This is the trouble of the poor. Even if I have money, I don’t know how to spend it.
Li An sighed softly, then became cheerful again: "Which one do you like? I'll buy you another one."

"No." Zhan Doudou shook her head and said, "We still have to guess lantern riddles later. If there are more than two of us, we won't be able to solve them all." Obviously, she has confidence in herself and Li An. To be more precise, she has full confidence in Li An.

Li An said with a smile: "Those are for putting in your hands, but there is also a kind of writing wishes and putting them in the sky, are you sure you don't want it?"

Zhan Doudou did not answer, but turned her head away proudly, her meaning was self-evident.

Li An bought another lantern similar to the Kongming lantern, and took the ink pen handed over by the vendor. He gently pulled the girl and said, "Come on, what are you waiting for? There will be a lotus-shaped one later. Let's go and put it in the river."

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she snorted coldly, "This is what you want to buy, not what I want!"

"Yes, yes, it's all I wanted."

Zhan Doudou blushed, walked to the square table in front of the stall, and began to write. On it was the poem that Fan Xian recited at the Southern Dynasty banquet: I wish to be a pair of wings in the sky.

After carefully blowing it dry, she handed the brush to Li Ang.

Understand in seconds!

The master-level calligraphy combined with Doudou's beautiful handwriting wrote: We will be forever tied together on the ground.

The candle was lit, hot steam rose, and the light burned for a while. Then, the "Kongming Lantern" slowly rose into the sky with the good wishes of the two people. One after another, many colorful lanterns were flying in the sky.

When a vendor nearby saw Zhan Doudou's expression and the luxurious clothes made of unusual fabrics on her body, and then looked at Li An who was wearing ordinary clothes, he had already imagined a series of scenes in his mind about a lady from a noble family falling in love with a poor scholar.

His eyes rolled, and he realized that the opportunity was not to be missed. He grabbed a red rope and wrapped it around Zhan Doudou and Li An's feet, acting as the matchmaker.

Under the shell of defense and camouflage that Zhan Doudou had worn for many years, there was a soft heart that was intoxicated by the lanterns filled with starry sky. The peddler's behavior undoubtedly made her heart pound. She secretly glanced at Li Ang, then quickly turned her head away, her heart filled with excitement and happiness.

After tying up the girl, the peddler stared at Li An with his small eyes. This was a big customer. Don't look at his gnashing teeth when he paid the fifty taels just now. As long as he caught this lady and put in the effort, he would have no worries about the money!

Well, you are awesome!
Li An was willing at this time, secretly said good assist, and asked: "How much silver?"

"What, silver?" The vendor responded, "Yes, yes, silver, five taels of silver is a good deal!" Well, I did something stupid. I usually spend less money, but I always spend money with silver, which caused a misunderstanding today. This red string didn't cost much silver, it was just a lucky money from the vendor. When I asked how much silver it was, I was ripped off again.

Li An paid the bill. Seeing Zhan Doudou's surprised expression, he could not help but gently scratch her waist with his hand. Her waist twisted restlessly. He whispered in her ear, "How dare you make fun of your husband? This is a small punishment. Let the vendor be proud first, and then he will take all the lanterns when you guess the riddle!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" Zhan Doudou couldn't bear it anymore. Her legs were weak. She was afraid that others would notice something was wrong. She couldn't break free and quickly begged Li An, "Can you please stop scratching me?"

Seeing the mist in the girl's eyes, Li An couldn't help but feel a little funny. He had never seen an emperor like this before. He quickly took out his phone and took a few photos of Zhan Doudou. After that, the two of them leaned against each other and took a few selfies together. Zhan Doudou let go of her hand that was teasing her waist. As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she was attracted by the black chip in front of her.

"What is this? Why are our faces so clear!!"

It was as if her soul had been taken away by Li An and locked in that chip. Zhan Doudou thought so. Then she realized that this must be what her mother had told her about the temple in private when no one was around. She looked at Li An. Was he really closely related to the temple?

"This is a record. You can think of it as a painting. It will record this moment forever!"

"really?"

"Really, more real than real gold!"

Zhan Doudou was inexplicably happy. She could record the beauty and scene forever. It was worthy of being a temple item! She looked at the screen of her mobile phone carefully, wondering if her face was so red.

Became shy again.

I will never forget the feeling I have today. I feel like I am happier than in the past 19 years.

She had forgotten all the important affairs of the court and the fairyland palace.

At this moment, she was slack.

"Gentlemen, look this way!" a vendor shouted.

"The lanterns on the first and second floors are almost all sold out. The next step is to guess lantern riddles!"

"Let's start solving the puzzle from the bottom up, first come first served!"

His words attracted everyone's attention, even some young ladies looked over with excitement. Seeing this, some young men and scholars who were interested in her were also ready to do their best to get the beauty they wanted!

"Let's get started!"

"Let me see what tricks you have."

"You, you always come up with something new!"

"Ms. Tian, ​​I will win the top lantern for you!"

The whole place was excited. Seeing that the place was already heated, the vendor smiled smugly, thinking that the riddle was not simple, but the shopkeeper had inquired about it from many sources and used it as a gimmick. How could you really win? You know, the lanterns on the top cannot be compared with the lanterns on the lower two floors in terms of workmanship or materials. Although the lanterns below are also expensive, if all the ones on the top are given away, it will be a loss for the grandma's family, not to mention the huge Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern on the top.

I couldn't help but admire the shopkeeper's foresight.

What if the other person is the shopkeeper while you are still a waiter?
high! It’s really high!
