Chapter 394 Lantern Guessing Competition
Chapter 394 Lantern Guessing Competition
Shen Luming was so excited. Along the way, he saw candied haws, sugar figures, and his most amazing sister asked him to guess riddles.
Not to mention Shen Luming, even the little kids and the older sisters had bright smiles on their faces.
As Shen Youyou walked along the way, she saw the bright lights hanging high, stretching for dozens of miles, lighting up the entire street like daylight.
She was a little dazed, as if she had returned to the night scene of her past life full of lights and feasting.
Indeed, not to mention that this was their first time visiting the Shuntianfu Lantern Festival,
Even Wei Yichen, Xiao Zhe and Ning Yu who followed were shocked by the hazy light emitted by the colorful lanterns.
You know, they are authentic people from Shuntian Prefecture and live in the capital every year.
Xiao Zhe said with amazement: "Why do I feel that last year's performance was not as good-looking or lively as this year?"
Ning Yu nodded and said nothing, but he understood in his heart. There were floods and snowstorms the year before last, and everyone hasn't recovered from last year's Mid-Autumn Festival. It would be strange if it was lively at all.
Shen Youyou had no idea that there were three people following her. It wasn't because she wasn't perceptive enough, but because there were just too many people, with pedestrians everywhere.
Who would have nothing to do after eating and think that the three young men walking not far behind were following them?
She held Shen Luming with one hand, next to Shen Luming was Yuanbao, and on the other side of Yuanbao was Erya.
The four siblings were walking in the front, and there was a group of people noiseing behind them, so it was impossible for them to pay attention to what was behind them.
They just followed the flow of people, looked at the jugglers, squeezed over to see them spitting fire.
The exclamations of the older sisters and younger brothers rang out along with the cheers of the crowd.
The stone was shattered in his chest. Shen Yuanbao shouted to Shen Youyou: "Sister, does Grandpa Li know how to do this? I want to learn."
Shen Erya gave him a slap on the head: "Why learn that? Are you here to perform for money?"
Shen Luming was holding a candied haws in his mouth, grinning. He thought to himself, "Brother Yuanbao probably feels that he can withstand beatings after learning this skill. He is fine even if such a big rock is crushed. He is even finer if he is beaten by Fourth Uncle."
Shen Youyou looked down at her brother and said, "Don't laugh while you eat. It might get stuck in your throat. Do you remember the little boy who got stuck in his throat while fleeing from famine?"
Shen Luming nodded obediently, his little cheeks moving like a little hamster.
Seeing the shadow play, Shen Luming's eyes sparkled: "Sister, can you do that?"
Shen Youyou thought that she might not be able to do that, but she could still make a few plastic dolls with movable joints for her brother when she got home.
"This won't work, but I'll make you another toy that moves when I get back."
Shen Luming nodded his little head hurriedly, insisting that Shen Youyou squat down and kiss her with his little mouth covered in sugar.
There are so many traditional programs that I can’t keep up with them. There are also pot-throwing and ring-tossing performances at the end.
Shen Jinxing looked annoyed: "Why did we forget to set up the ring-tossing stall? What a loss! You know, this was invented by our Yoyo."
Ah Chi, who had just followed Fu Huaian and caught up with Wei Yichen, Xiao Zhe, and Ning Yu, heard this and shouted, "Shen Luming!"
Shen Youyou and Shen Luming turned their heads together.
Didn't you see anyone? Who called them? It seemed to be a man's voice.
Shen Daya also looked confused: "Could it be that our brothers have stopped setting up the stall and came here? Why did I hear the voice of calling Luming?"
Regarding this matter, Ah Chi also jumped and waved.
The sisters behind Shen Luming's team also turned their heads to look: "Isn't this that guy?"
"Yes, that guy!"
Ah Chi rolled his eyes: "That's how you greet each other, do you know who that is?"
At this time, Shen Youyou pulled Shen Luming and walked behind the crowd, and saw A Chi rolling his eyes at a glance.
"Brother Achi."
Shen Luming let go of Shen Youyou's hand and rushed towards A Chi. However, just as he was about to run in front of A Chi, he saw Fu Huaian following behind him and turned around.
"Little General brother."
Ah Chi stretched out his hands, intending to catch the small cannonball, but...
Shen Luming was wearing fine cotton clothes today. They were made smaller by Li Jingshu using Shen Youyou's old clothes. They were sky blue in color.
Fu Huaian has never liked children, but for some reason, he quite likes this child who is not afraid of people.
He did something that surprised his three friends, including A Chi, and actually caught Shen Luming and held him up.
He even shook his hand and said, "It's OK. I've gained a lot of weight."
Shen Luming pinched her face with her hands, her big eyes curved into crescents as she smiled: "Brother, we are making money now, so we can buy meat, and I am getting fat."
The smile in Fu Huaian's eyes became more obvious, and even Wei Yichen pinched Shen Luming's chubby face: "He is a lot fatter than when I first saw him. Little babies still look better when they are fat."
Xiao Zhe chuckled and pinched Wei Yichen's baby face: "Why do I feel like you are talking about yourself?"
Wei Yichen immediately turned hostile and pushed him away: "Go away."
Shen Youyou looked at the four young men in front of her and felt a toothache. Her aunt and sisters were all of the age to get married in ancient times.
Especially her three sisters, each one was prettier than the other, and she subconsciously wanted to take her sisters away from these four.
It’s not that she has a filter for the sisters, it’s that she has read too many novels. Aren’t most of them about rich men liking farm girls?
Unfortunately, there is another lantern festival today.
In this romantic atmosphere, sisters, don’t have any thoughts about the people in front of you, as that may ruin your life.
It is not popular to have three wives and four concubines nowadays. She has seen a lot of those young masters and rich second-generations doing that, not to mention this era when having three wives and four concubines is legal.
Don’t think too much. Maybe you are the heroine and you have the aura of the heroine. Maybe you will be noticed and you can be together for the rest of your life.
Then Shen Youyou just wanted to say: "Wake up, there is not much true love, it's just that the temptation is not enough."
But, Fu Huaian held his brother like that and didn't tell her to put him down. Even the smart Shen Youyou didn't know what to do for a moment.
Erya secretly tugged at Shen Youyou and signaled with her eyes: "We're just standing there like this without saying hello?"
But Taohua shook her head slightly, meaning: "It's not good for us to greet them directly on the street, they are all men."
Shen Youyou sighed. Well, the sisters now all look like girls. The key is that the sisters seem to be about the same age as the people in front of them.
Just do it yourself. At least at your age, you haven’t developed yet and you look like a tomboy.
She clasped her fists towards Fu Huaian: "General Fu, what a coincidence! Are you also visiting the Lantern Festival?"
Fu Huaian hugged Shen Luming and nodded gently: "Yes!"
Wei Yichen was even more direct: "We saw you guys at Guangyuanlou for dinner. I heard you say you swept the whole street guessing riddles, so I followed you to see how you did it."
This sentence made Shen Youyou frown so much that she really wanted to go back and swallow the words. Is it necessary to be so dramatic?
Seeing Shen Youyou didn't say anything, Wei Yichen said, "I heard that Jinyulou is holding a lantern riddle guessing contest today. It's the biggest event and the riddles are the most difficult.
I heard that not only can you take away any lantern you win, but the one who guesses the most riddles can get a golden headpiece."
