Chapter 305: Lantern Riddles
Originally, since I kindly helped her get back the purse, she should have invited herself a cup of tea.
Reciprocity.
However, this princess is really too poor, a few pieces of silver, thirty copper coins, the teahouse nearby is the most famous teahouse in the whole capital!
Notoriously expensive!
A serious high-consumption place.
With Li Mingyue's little money, it is unknown whether it will be enough for a refreshment.
Really, as long as he changed to a richer princess, he would go too.
After all, she is also a princess of a country. Why is this Princess Mingyue so poor?
Look at Xiao Ruxue back then, who threw three hundred taels of silver on the table with a "slap", and then look at Princess Mingyue, alas, there is no harm without comparison!
Therefore, Xu Qing could only find a reason to politely reject Princess Mingyue, so that Princess Mingyue would not have to spend so much money.
Princess Mingyue's little money should be saved for her own dowry.
ah? What? You said Xu Qing is a warm guy?
of course not!
What is Xu Qing thinking about?
In case he really went with Li Mingyue unceremoniously, and a meal of refreshments cost more than ten taels of silver, who would pay for the rest if Li Mingyue didn't have enough money?
Isn't he Xu Qing?
If you are kind enough to help, you may lose some money in the end?
He doesn't know Li Mingyue well, so he won't do business at a loss!
Although Xu Qing admits that Li Mingyue is really good-looking and seductive, and she looks so weak that she can't wait for people to hold her in her arms and take pity on her.
But then again, it looks good and can't be eaten as a meal! Silver talent!
Li Mingyue looked at Xu Qing's back as he walked away, then looked at the moon-white kit in his hand, and clenched it tightly. Just as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice.
After the cough stopped, Li Mingyue put the kit in her hand close to her body, took a bite of the snowball, then turned around and walked towards Honglu Temple's residence.
It turns out that besides her elder brother, there are people in the world who help her without expecting anything in return, which is great.
...
Xu Qing was walking above the lantern festival when suddenly a pair of small cold hands stretched out from behind and covered Xu Qing's eyes.
Xu Qing held the snowball bag in one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled the two little cold hands covering his eyes: "Xue'er, it's the sixteenth time this month, isn't there anything new?"
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the snowball in her hand disappeared, and her eyes lit up, as the pair of little cold hands just now had disappeared.
Xiao Ruxue jumped in front of Su Qian with the bag in her hand and said, "Hee hee, Sister Su, we have snacks to eat!"
Xu Qing shook his hand that was still holding the snowball just now, what was it that swished past just now?
Well, this new idea is really sudden, and suddenly it just snowballed and disappeared.
When she turned around, Xu Qing saw her wife and Xiao Ruxue holding a snowball, happily eating.
Xu Qing walked up to the two of them in two steps, and his throat moved: "Damn, I bought it."
Xiao Ruxue took out one from the bag, and held it out in front of Xu Qing: "Hey! I'll give you one! Hee hee!"
After that, it became three people, one person and one person, snowballing happily.
After eating the snowball in her hand, Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and asked with concern, "What happened to the envoy of Zhou's dust-cleaning feast?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "There are indeed some changes."
Su Qian worried: "Husband is in trouble?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "No, I just made a thousand taels."
Hearing this, Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue were slightly taken aback. How could a banquet earn a thousand taels?
Is he that good at making money?
However, Su Qian soon smiled and said: "It's fine if there is no trouble. The lantern festival tonight is really good. It is far more prosperous than Yongzhou City. Why don't I accompany my husband?"
Xu Qing also smiled and said, "Okay."
Xiao Ruxue pulled Xu Qing's sleeve and said, "Sister Su and I were guessing lantern riddles in front of us just now. If we guess correctly, we will get gifts! But we went a little late, and others guessed the easy ones. The only thing left is the difficulty, neither Sister Su nor I can guess. You are so smart, how about guessing a few?"
Xu Qing was pulled by Xiao Ruxue's sleeve, and then Xu Qing grabbed Su Qian with one hand, and the three of them walked towards the lantern riddle together.
The three of them came to a booth together. Under the lantern was a sign with a red thread on it, and there was a puzzle. Hanging under the puzzle was a small delicate box. It seemed that there was something good inside.
The chubby man who runs the lantern riddle stall saw the two beauties, one big and one small, beside Xu Qing, and immediately showed a kind smile, but with this smile, the flesh on his face wrinkled into a ball: "This The young master is really lucky, do you want to guess a lantern riddle? The villain promises that there are gifts in these boxes, and he will never let the young master return empty-handed. Moreover, the more difficult the puzzle, the more expensive the gift will be. "
Xiao Ruxue pointed to a lantern riddle under a lantern and said, "Xu Qing Xu Qing, guess this, there must be something good in the gift box below!"
Xu Qing nodded and looked at the puzzle: "The white-clothed bird dances lightly, but it cannot survive if it falls into the water."
This riddle is about one thing in the world.
Xiao Ruxue rubbed her head, but she didn't have a clue. Su Qian, who was beside her, was also thinking hard, but she couldn't do anything.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Snow."
Xiao Ruxue raised her head and said, "Ah? Why did you call me?"
Xu Qing shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm talking about the answer to this question, which is snow. Snow is white and floats down from the air, and then it will melt when it falls into the water."
The lantern riddle stand owner smiled and said, "Young master is really smart. The gift hanging under this lantern riddle belongs to you."
As he said, he took the thing off and handed it to Xu Qing. As soon as Xu Qing took it, he suddenly felt something was wrong, it was so light, did there really be something inside?
Xiao Ruxue said impatiently from the side: "Open it quickly and see what's inside."
Xu Qing opened the box, and immediately, two heads popped up beside Xu Qing
I saw a piece of paper floating out of the box: Ramadan Building, twenty taels minus eight taels.
Xu Qing picked up the paper and flipped through it to see, after thinking for a long time, it was actually a discount coupon?
The lantern riddle stall owner immediately smiled and said, "This young master is really lucky! You can immediately save eight taels of silver in a famous restaurant in central Beijing!"
Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, when did Ramadan Tower, a famous restaurant in Beijing, become famous in the capital? Why have I never heard of this name?"
The stall owner scratched his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, guest officer, it will open tomorrow, and it will be famous in half a year."
Xu Qing looked at the stall owner with a blank expression on his face: "Don't tell me, you opened the Ramadan building."
The stall owner was suddenly surprised and said: "Oh, the guest officer is really good at predicting things! The villain admires it, and I will invite the guest officer to join us tomorrow!"
Xu Qing pulled Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue away, grandma, he said how could this stall owner be so idle, guessing lantern riddles and getting gifts without spending a penny, being a good person and good deed? !
It turned out that his family's restaurant was about to open, and they advertised his family's restaurant on the pretext of guessing lantern riddles in this capital? !
The voice of the stall owner continued to come from behind: "Guest officer, we will open tomorrow at Chenshi! Guest officer!"
