Chapter 135 Guessing Lantern Riddles

"Would you like to guess riddles?" the stall owner greeted enthusiastically.

There were a lot of people guessing riddles, and many of them just came to join in the fun.

"Stall owner, how do you guess this riddle?"

"There are many lanterns here, and the number of riddles required to guess each lantern is different." The stall owner explained with a smile.

Su Mu looked at the lanterns, each of which was very exquisite. "How many riddles does this one need?" She pointed to one of the lanterns.

"Oh, this lady has good taste. There are ten pieces of paper hanging under the lantern. You need to guess ten riddles to win the lantern."

The lantern is a modified version of the octagonal palace lantern, with ribbons and bead chains hanging on the top. Below the lantern is a lotus lantern, below the lotus is a short lotus root, and at the bottom of the lotus root is a cord and tassel.

"Mumu, do you want to guess?" Ji Shiyan asked.

"want!"

"Well, this lady is very brave!" Many people gave up when they heard that they needed ten riddles to win the lantern.

“Then don’t remind others.” The stall owner warned everyone.

"Row!"

Those who were watching the fun nearby agreed without hesitation, without thinking it was a big deal.

"Then please listen carefully to the first question, miss."

"Say, when you draw it's round, when you write it's square, when you're in winter it's short, when you're in summer it's long, what's the word for that?" The stall owner was keeping time nearby.

While others were still thinking, Su Mu blurted out, "Fuck!"

"Miss, you are awesome!" the stall owner praised.

"I wonder if you can guess the second one, how can a fire without smoke hit an insect?"

Su Mu thought they were all word puzzles, but he didn't expect there were also some puzzles about insects.

"firefly!"

"Miss is really smart!"

"Good!" The onlookers nearby also cheered.

"Then what about the third one?"

The fourth, fifth, sixth...nine questions Su Mu guessed them one by one.

Ji Shiyan looked at Su Mu with great pride, as if he had guessed it himself.

"Awesome little sister!" the three brothers cheered and encouraged.

"I didn't expect that Su girl is so good at guessing lantern riddles!"

"Miss, this is the last question. If you guess it right, the lantern will be yours." The stall owner introduced with a smile.

"Come on, little girl!"

When the onlookers saw that the little girl had really guessed the last day, they all cheered for her.

"The last question is to guess the name of the medicinal herb."

"Stall owner, you are making things difficult for me." If not a doctor, who would know the names of those herbs?

Everyone looked regretful, as the poor little girl had already guessed the last question.

"I opened the letter and found nothing. What kind of medicinal herbs are these?"

"Bai Zhi!" Su Mu answered quickly.

She may not recognize other Chinese medicinal herbs, but she is very familiar with Angelica dahurica. She always puts two slices in it when she stews mutton soup.

"Miss! You are so smart! Then this lantern belongs to you."

The stall owner was not reluctant to let go. The little girl's answering of questions brought him many customers. It was just a lantern.

Su Mu smiled as he held the lantern. He had won it by guessing the riddle. It was a different feeling.

"Mumu is so smart." Ji Shiyan praised Su Mu in his ear.

"Shopkeeper Su is awesome!" Some people recognized Su Mu and shouted.

Su Mu felt embarrassed when being recognized, and said to the person next to him, "Let's go."

"it is good."

"Why did Shopkeeper Su leave?" The diners shouted jokingly from behind.

"Hahahahahahaha" the air is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

As they walked to the bridge, a large group of people from the other side came over and said, "The lion dance team is coming! Watch your step!"

The family was about to be separated. "If we are separated, we can just go shopping separately. No need to come looking for us!"

"Be careful, and seek help from the city defense forces if you have any problems." Ji Shiyan also shouted and reminded them.

"Okay, we got it."

A group of people were rushed in twos and threes, and Su Mu's hand was held tightly by Ji Shiyan to prevent the two of them from being rushed away.

The lion dance team came over, and the majestic lions leaped up, flipped left and right, and some of their moves were so jaw-dropping that they received constant applause.

This was also the first time that Sumu saw a lion dance team in person. The awe-inspiring power was simply beyond words.

Just like a real lion being awakened, it drives away evil and brings good fortune.

"Mumu, let's go."

The lion dance team had already walked away, and Su Mu was still immersed in the shock just now. At this time, Ji Shiyan had quietly loosened his hand.

“The lion dance is so stunning!”

"Does Mumu like to watch it?"

"like!"

"Is there any dragon dance team over there that we want to go see?"

"it is good!"

A dragon lantern made of a bamboo frame, colorful cloth and decorated with scales, with the dragon head rising and falling and tumbling.

The dragon heads and bodies were held high by countless people, dancing in perfect coordination with each other.

Occasionally there were fireworks, which were extremely gorgeous, and there were also iron flower fireworks at the side, and the whole sky was filled with golden stars flying.

The cheers of the people and the laughter of the children combined into an extremely harmonious and beautiful picture.

The dancing dragon makes people inexplicably moved and touched, as if there is moisture in their eyes.

"These dragon and lion dance teams are present during every festival to pray for peace and good fortune, and to ward off disasters and bring blessings."

"It's also a kind of belief of the people." Ji Shiyan stood silently beside Su Mu. Looking at the scene over there, his whole temperament changed, and an unreadable light flashed in his eyes.

"so good."

"Yeah, that's great." The two of them quietly felt the touching scene.

"Come on, I'll take you to see some new and interesting lanterns."

"Let's go!" Su Mu was infected by the atmosphere and became very excited.

"This is the Aoshan Lantern." Ji Shiyan took Su Mu to a rockery.

"Have the mountains here always been there?" Su Mu touched them curiously.

"No, it's made of Taihu stones brought by craftsmen. The lights that embellish the mountain were also designed by many craftsmen." Ji Shiyan led Su Mu to view them one by one.

He did a lot of homework, and figured out which places were interesting and lively and how to have fun one day in advance. He was also responsible for supervising some of the lantern landscape construction.

“The theme is Fairy Mountain.”

The Aoshan Lanterns are four or five stories high and low, covered with pine and cypress paper strips, set against rockery and lake water, and embellished with various lanterns and figures. It is truly worthy of being a fairy mountain.

"It has wheels underneath, so you can push it."

"Really?" Su Mu looked down and saw that such a big mountain could actually be pushed!

"Yes, shall we continue walking forward?"

They came here very early, so it's not particularly crowded now, but there will be a lot of people here soon.

"Okay." Su Mu was particularly looking forward to seeing what lanterns he would see next.

The two came to a place where many people were looking at the wooden frame in front of them excitedly.

What are these people looking at? Isn’t there just a very tall wooden shelf in front of them?

"Mumu, the lights in front are about to be lit."

"What kind of lamp is this?"

"Box light."
