Chapter 168 Lantern Festival .
Li An and Zhan Doudou looked up at the lotus lantern on the top, standing quietly, looking at each other tacitly amid the noise of the crowd, and smiled softly after a moment.
"Come on, Master Li. Remember to do something not too excessive if you lose, okay?"
"Haha, this is natural!"
Win and cry!
The young man saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and prepared, so he did not dare to delay and revealed the first riddle.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This first riddle is not difficult. It is the beginning. Please listen carefully: a small jar filled with dumplings. Eat the dumplings and spit out the beads."
"Hit a fruit!"
This riddle was simple. Li An was not in a hurry. He just teased Zhan Doudou, "Why, can you guess it?"
Zhan Doudou was still thinking, and after a while he had the answer. Seeing Li An's smiling face, he thought that he was really quick-witted and that he was still a little slow. The two of them said the answer to Orange at the same time, and the servant handed over a beautiful lantern with a smile. This was a good start.
Afterwards, he used this to stir up the emotions of the whole audience, making everyone even more excited.
"This sentence is considered a draw."
"Hmph, I will definitely be faster than you next time!" Zhan Doudou said unconvincedly, which was considered a way out.
The boy then gave the second riddle: It is hard to fly with two wings, and it is both a garment and a house. It is better to let the water blow it into the sea than let the sun dry the house.
This time it’s guess an animal.
While everyone was still pondering, Li An blurted out: "Clam!"
"What stick?" Zhan Doudou had just asked when he saw the servant replying with a smile on his face.
"Young master is very smart, the answer is really clam! Here, please take it, it's just that good things come in pairs!" After that, the second lantern fell into Li An's hands.
When everyone in the field saw that the two lanterns in front were obtained by this person, they couldn't help but become anxious.
"I'm telling you, can you do it, you little dog? With your talent, you still want to woo me?"
"No, I, this, hey!"
"Master Zhang, try harder, look how fast the other masters are!"
"Hey! Miss Wang, what you said is wrong. How can a man be so fast? It's not right! It's not right!"
"Mr. Huang, I want that lamp!"
"Xiao'e, I had a stomachache just now, so I'm not doing well. Just wait and see what happens next!"
Li An's face was full of black lines, still thinking about how a man could be so quick and even want to kill someone!
Am I fast? Am I fast?
Don’t talk nonsense if you haven’t tried it, or you’ll cry slowly!
When Zhan Doudou saw Li Ang’s unhappy expression, he thought of something and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Li An reminded: "I'm ahead!"
Zhan Doudou then regained his composure and prepared himself for battle.
Next, the servant asked riddles one after another, and Li An and Zhan Doudou gave the answers one after another. The lanterns in front of them were almost full.
The boy still had a smile on his face, but now it was just a bitter smile. It's over, it's over. The shopkeeper is as scary as the editor. I'm afraid he will kill me this time!
He had no choice but to muster up his energy and continue asking questions, but the situation did not improve. Instead, the two men's spoils increased and piled up like a mountain.
The third layer is almost done, and the next is the fourth layer and the highest lantern!
Everyone looked at the two with different expressions, some excited, some admiring, some envious, and some angry.
While everyone was hesitating, a young man in fancy clothes stepped out, followed by several friends of the same status and several followers. The young man, who was the leader, was very handsome and unrestrained. When he saw Zhan Doudou's appearance, his eyes lit up. He clapped his folding fan, smiled in his most handsome way and said, "This girl has an extraordinary face, beautiful and gorgeous. She is not only heroic and graceful, but also talented and extraordinary! I wonder if you can tell me her name?"
He had completely ignored Li Ang standing beside him.
It's not that he is rude and arrogant, it's just that he has the confidence to do so. His name is Zhu Wenlong, the only son of the Minister of Justice in the court, and the identities of several of his friends behind him are similar, all of them are sons of ministers in the court, and the playboys of the yamen in the capital.
He naturally has the ability to ignore others.
Besides, there are no people of status wandering around the streets today; most of them have entered the palace to attend the imperial banquet.
Ang Lee has seen this kind of scenes many times, and he was not angry. He just raised his thumbs up and praised Zhan Doudou, meaning that his sister is so beautiful that she can't hide her brilliance no matter where she goes.
Look, while attracting bees and butterflies, aren’t all these little bees coming?
Zhan Doudou blushed and gave Li An a blank look. She ignored the young man and asked the servant, "Let's start guessing the next level!"
"Ah, this?" The servant turned to look at Zhu Wenlong, as if asking for his opinion. This little guy has his own way of survival. After being in the capital for so long, how could he not see that people on both sides are not easy to mess with?
Zhu Wenlong had bowed when he spoke just now, but now he was frozen in mid-air. He had an awkward smile on his face, but he was still attentive, his demeanor was still as impressive as ever. He filtered out the rude behavior of the lady in front of him, and his eyes became even more eager.
It's not that he is a masochist, the reason is simple, the beauty in front of him is too attractive, he is deeply moved!
Although Ang Lee didn't like the increasingly eager look in this guy's eyes, he also knew that it was because the girl was too eye-catching, so it was not surprising that people would have a favorable impression of her. After all, everyone loves beauty. It's impossible that this look would appear everywhere on the street, so he would beat up everyone on the street, right?
Zhu Wenlong hadn't said anything yet, but the people behind him were almost unable to hold back their excitement. Seeing that chaos was about to happen, he stopped his friend and said calmly, "Miss, if you are interested, then let's start the fourth level of guessing puzzles!"
After receiving the instructions, the servant continued to explain the riddle.
Zhan Doudou seemed to be in a bad mood, and didn't say much afterwards. It was as if she didn't even want this person to hear her own voice.
She pulled Li An's sleeve and whispered, "Little thief, I still want to hear you praise my good looks. It really makes me uncomfortable when others say that!"
Li An smiled gently, comforted the beauty in a soft voice, and no longer cared about the riddle.
This gave these young masters a chance to show off their talents!
Mr. Zhu was polite and courteous, tapping his palms with his fan and accepting the praise from everyone in the room. Although there was a smug look in his eyes, he was still very elegant and refined, which made everyone feel very good about him.
He just waved his hand and gave all the lanterns he won to many girls present. This action earned him a lot of cheers and applause.
So, he became even more arrogant!
After coughing twice and adjusting his slightly dry voice, he tried to strike up a conversation with Zhan Doudou again, saying, "Miss, do you want the Nine Lotus Treasure Lamp at the top? If you do, just ask and I will win it for you!"
He thought that after reaching the fourth level of the riddle, the difficulty of the questions asked by the servant suddenly increased. The man next to the girl didn't answer any of them. If he wanted the lamp at the top, he could only look at himself. If he wanted to rely on the man next to her, it would be nothing but a fool's dream!
Zhan Doudou was inexplicably angry. Seeing that Li An was unmoved, she couldn't help but get angry and ordered Li An in a tone that would not brook refusal: "Little Anzi, why don't you win the lamp for me as soon as possible?"
"As ordered!"
Ang Lee laughed. Seeing that his consolation had been fruitless, he thought that this was a turning point and could not help but become playful and cooperate with the performance.
Take out your phone, open the guessing app, and be careful not to get into trouble.
He gestured to the servant and said loudly, "Ask the questions!"
His hands were ready to type, and he could give the answer in seconds! This scene and this posture were indescribably domineering and funny?
