Chapter 397 What a big melon!
Xiao Zhe immediately turned his gaze away and pretended that he hadn't seen it, and so did Fu Huaian and Ning Yu.
But Wei Yichen didn't say that. He directly said, "These days, no matter what it is, they dare to act under the banner of the Bo Mansion, and your legitimate son hasn't said a word yet."
Shen Youyou guessed that this should be a bastard's son, or maybe one of Tang Yanli's brothers-in-law.
But there is also a legitimate son here? Which one? The one with the baby face?
But the tone doesn't sound like that, it sounds more like he's standing up for someone.
The main thing is that Shen Youyou doesn’t know the identities of the other people except Fu Huaian.
But she didn't have to guess for a while, because Xiao Ji, the eldest son of the concubine, came over. He didn't greet his brothers first, but said in a flattering manner: "Master Fu and Young Master Ning are here too!"
As a result, the two people who were named didn't even bother to look at him. Wow, there must be something big going on here.
Seeing that Fu Huaian and Ning Yu ignored him, Xiao Jicai greeted Wei Yichen, who rolled his eyes at him.
Xiao Ji had an embarrassed look on his face. After all, there were so many people present. Moreover, since he had just revealed the identities of several people, many citizens of the capital, as well as the young men and women who had come to join in the fun today, were also talking about it.
"It's Prince Fu."
"And Master Ning, the four of them have always been inseparable."
"Will Master Fu be able to guess lantern riddles soon? I guess no one else will get the first prize tonight."
Shen Youyou silently led her sisters a little further away from Fu Huaian and the others. No, the exposure would be too great. Fortunately, there were enough people around.
For the time being, they can still be invisible in the crowd.
At this time, Xiao Ji said to Xiao Zhe: "My younger brother is here too. I thought he went to the palace banquet with my father and mother."
The two women behind him, the third young lady and another very bright-looking woman, also saluted Fu Huaian and the others.
Ning Yu was a modest gentleman, and he still gave face and said lightly: "You're welcome."
Fu Huaian was just like Shopkeeper Qian, who looked very good. He looked forward without moving his eyes.
This time Shen Youyou knew who was who. Although she didn't know the identities of the other two, she at least knew who was Tang Yanli's biological brother-in-law.
But Tang Yanli's legitimate brother-in-law and his illegitimate brother-in-law didn't seem to have a good relationship, so he just replied: "I hope you, illegitimate brother, pay attention to the image of the Bo's Mansion when you go out, and live up to my father's special regard for you."
Oh my god, this is really true. Shen Youyou made a rough guess. The uncle must be very fickle, and he favors his concubine over his wife, and values his illegitimate son more than his legitimate son.
Tsk tsk tsk, did you see that? A word of "cousin brother!"
The bastard has started to clench his fists and clench his cheeks. It seems that he has not yet reached the level of cultivation.
The shopkeeper of Jinyulou had an even more rosy face at this moment. He didn't expect that these two young masters would come today. How could he not be excited?
However, he did not think that these people would go on stage to guess riddles. After all, given their status, they would not look down on this set of jewelry.
But he was already very happy to be able to come. After all, in the capital, whose reputation could compare with that of these two, one a scholar and one a warrior?
Well, their Jinyulou will be talked about by the people for another ten days or half a month.
So when the shopkeeper spoke again, he was full of energy.
He said, "Everyone, our store is holding a lantern riddle guessing contest during the Lantern Festival. Anyone who can answer 15 lantern riddles first will receive a Golden Osmanthus Reflecting the Moon headpiece."
The people around were all shocked: "It's such a good thing, and we only need to answer fifteen questions?"
Someone later explained: "Didn't you understand what I meant? It's about answering quickly, which means you have to answer in a very short time, and you have to answer 15 questions in a row correctly. And the questions must be very difficult, so it seems easy to get, but it's actually very difficult."
At this time, Shen Zhiqiu and his friends had also sold out their goods. Whether it was hairpins or shoe soles that they prepared today, they were all very suitable for the occasion and sold very well.
When they arrived, the shopkeeper was also telling the fifteen riddles.
Shen Zhiqiu and his group of people protected the elderly and women as they squeezed into the crowd, and naturally surrounded Shen Youyou and the others, providing great protection.
Shen Zhiqiu said, "Manager Qian is very calculating. This event can not only attract enough popularity, but also make the Jinyulou famous."
Shen Youyou turned around and said, "Dad."
The girls from the nine tribes also called out in a low voice.
Old Lady Hua: "Oh, are you really giving me gold jewelry?"
The others were also shocked by Manager Qian's generosity.
Shen Luming saw his father coming and said with a smile: "Sister said she wanted to win the title."
Only then did Shen Zhiqiu notice in whose arms his son was, and he quickly took his son and thanked Fu Huaian.
Fu Huaian said aloud: "It's okay, Lu Ming is well-behaved and cute."
In fact, what this guy was thinking about was that his soft and fat kid was taken away by his biological father, and he felt a little lost.
"Okay, now let's light the first lantern."
At this moment, Qian, the shopkeeper of Jinyulou, waved to a waiter to take down the bottom one on the row of lanterns.
He took out the riddle and read it out loud: "A chat by the pillow past the fifth watch?! Guess a word!"
Almost before he finished writing the word, Shen Youyou shouted, "Delay!"
Shopkeeper Qian was startled and suddenly turned his head to look at the source of the voice, and saw Shen Youyou smiling at him. He had been to Tangjia Village once in person, so he had seen Shen Youyou before, but he didn't recognize her at first. She looked familiar, but when he saw Old Lady Hua next to him,
He sighed, "The Shen family boy is really quick to react. He got the first question right."
Shen Youyou didn't expect that the shopkeeper would directly call out her name. She was a little depressed, but fortunately, she had Big Brain Tiger by her side this time, and she could just take advantage of the tiger's power.
Fu Huaian, the brain tiger, and the other three young masters were also surprised: "Are you too fast? How did your brain react?"
Shen Youyou deliberately hid behind his father. If she hadn't been rushing to answer, if she hadn't been unsure of the level of Fu Huaian and the other four, she would have definitely let his father answer first.
She can just tell her father the answer herself, but the key is, I’m not sure when she will tell her father, so no one else will be able to answer it!
However, Shen Youyou didn't say a word for the next few questions. She planned to wait and see until someone answered half of the questions before speaking.
The next few questions were not that difficult, they were all word puzzles. Except for Fu Huaian, who didn't know the answer, the other three, including the bastard, and others, did guess a few of them correctly.
Fu Huaian and the other three would occasionally glance at the figure hiding behind Shen Zhiqiu.
Seeing that Shen Youyou hadn't caught up for a long time, Wei Yichen couldn't help but say, "Why don't you answer the questions? I've answered five correctly. You don't know the answer to the first one, do you?"
At this time, Shopkeeper Qian recited another sentence: "New Year's Eve is the end of the year. Guess a word."
Wei Yichen: "What is this? Isn't New Year's Eve the end of the year? What kind of riddle is this?"
Shen Youyou said in a very low voice: "More words, Dad."
Shen Zhiqiu said: "More words."
Shopkeeper Qian immediately said, "Boss Shen is right."
Shen Youyou saw that the questions were getting harder and harder, and the time everyone spent thinking about it should be enough for her to tell her father.
She would avoid seeking attention if she could, especially in front of that baby-faced young man. She didn't want to defeat him and get herself into trouble.
But it couldn't be hidden from Fu Huaian, who was highly skilled in martial arts. This guy just moved his expression but didn't show anything.
The following questions became increasingly difficult, and there were still only thirteen lanterns hanging.
The one who answered the most questions correctly was not the baby-faced one, but Ning Yu, who had answered eleven questions correctly.
