Chapter 63 For you(1/2)

 Following Li Miao's gaze and looking over, Zhe Xinyi said: "This is a game of estimating weight."

"A game of estimating weight?"

Li Miao looked at her, waiting for her explanation.

"Yeah."

Zhe Xinyi nodded slightly and explained: "The so-called weight estimation means literally. Before starting, the contestants will write down their guessed weight on the paper given by the boss. When it starts, the boss will light the weight.

Rope, let the empty wine jar fall to the ground and smash into pieces."

“Then the boss will pick out the largest piece of debris and weigh it. The contestant closest to the weight of this piece will get the first place, and so on...

.And the prize is mooncakes, and you will get different quantities of mooncakes according to different rankings."

After Zhe Xinyi's explanation, Li Miao also roughly understood its gameplay, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

"Come over and play?" Zhe Xinyi asked.

She saw Li Miao's intention.

Li Miao naturally nodded.

So, the two of them walked there.

Li Miao squeezed through the crowd in front, and the two of them came to the boss.

"Boss, two people."

Li Miao took out six copper coins from his body and gave them to the boss.

Seeing two more customers, the boss smiled happily and asked Li Miao and Zhe Xinyi to write down their estimated weights.

Before that, Zhe Xinyi asked the boss: "Boss, can you touch the wine jar?"

The boss said cheerfully: "This guest, I think he can do it."

So, Zhe Xinyi came under the wine jar, stood on tiptoes and touched it for a while, then came to the table and wrote down the weight she guessed.

Li Miao came over curiously, wanting to see how much weight she wrote down.

Unexpectedly, Zhe Xinyi turned slightly to the side, blocking his view.

She tilted her head and said with a chuckle: "You have to guess by yourself. That's the fun part of this game."

Li Miao was startled for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said: "Guess it for yourself, see if I don't get first place."

As he spoke, he bowed his waist slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he wrote down the weight he guessed: two kilograms and two taels.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly. The boss lit a long torch and then used the torch to light the rope hanging the wine jar.

In the eyes of everyone, the rope was quickly burned, and the wine jar fell heavily on the stone below, making a 'pop' sound, and the wine jar instantly shattered to the ground.

The boss picked out the largest piece of fragments, and then took out a scale to weigh it. The onlookers immediately rushed forward, and in their nervousness, the weight of the fragments came out.

"Three pounds and four ounces! Three pounds and four ounces!" the boss shouted loudly.

There was a lot of wailing, which was naturally caused by the contestants who guessed the weight with a larger deviation. The contestants whose guessed weight was closer to this weight had a look of surprise on their faces, and then urged the boss to announce the winner quickly.

Come out.

Li Miao looked a little depressed. The weight he guessed was two kilograms and two ounces. The gap between the weight and the three kilograms and four ounces was really big. It was impossible for him to be on the list of these winners.

Turning her head, she looked at Zhe Xinyi and asked, "What's the weight you guessed?"

Zhe Xinyi chuckled and said: "Three catties and four taels."

Li Miao exclaimed: "So accurate!"

Soon, the boss announced the list of winners. There was no doubt that Zhe Xinyi won the first place and took away three packages of mooncakes in the envious eyes of everyone.

The second place is three catties and three liang, and the third place is three catties and three liang...

Li Miao left with these three moon cakes and Zhe Xinyi, and unknowingly came to a stall selling lanterns. There was a riddle in front of each lantern.

"This young man, this young lady, would you like to guess a riddle? It only costs two cents. If you guess it correctly, you can take away a beautiful lantern."

Seeing the two people stopping in front of his stall, the boss quickly smiled and greeted them.

Zhe Xinyi thought about it and took a step forward.

Seeing this, Li Miao quickly took out two copper coins and gave them to the boss.

Zhe Xinyi came to a red lantern.

A white dragon lies in the Wujiang River. A red light rises from the rocks in the Wujiang River. The white dragon drinks all the water in the Wujiang River. When the light goes out and the water dries up, the white dragon dies.

This is the riddle of the red lantern.

Li Miao could tell what the answer was at a glance, but he didn't say it. He just looked at Zhe Xinyi who was meditating quietly.

The red light reflected on her face. Because of the riddle, her slightly heroic eyebrows frowned slightly. She subconsciously raised her left hand, slightly curled her fist and put it on her chin.

For some reason, Li Miao remembered what Zheliu said to him in the kitchen not long ago, which seemed pretty good...

Suddenly, Lin Daier, dressed in white, jumped out with a long sword and a murderous look on her face.

Li Miao shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and focused his attention on Zhe Xinyi again.

I saw that Zhe Xinyi had given up the red lantern and came to a yellow lantern. The riddle on the yellow lantern was: a little girl was born in the middle of the water, wearing a pink shirt, sitting on a green boat.

This time, Zhe Xinyi figured out the answer after just thinking for a while, and said to the boss: "This is a lotus flower."

"This lady is correct, congratulations!"

The boss happily took off the yellow lantern and handed it to Zhe Xinyi.

Zhe Xinyi turned her head and said to Li Miao: "Let's go."

Li Miao asked: "Would you like to stop guessing?"

Zhe Xinyi smiled and said: "Only one lantern is enough."

"Wait a moment."

After saying these words, Li Miao took out two more copper coins from his body and handed them to the boss. Then he came to the red lantern that Zhe Xinyi had originally and said to the boss: "This is an oil lamp."<

/p>

After thinking for a moment, Zhe Xinyi showed an expression of sudden realization.

Riddles are like this. Before you know the answer, it seems difficult and there is no clue. But once you know the answer, it becomes relatively simple and clear.

The boss flashed a hint of surprise. This riddle was one of the more difficult among his lanterns. Many people took a fancy to the red lanterns and dared to try it, but none of them were like the young lady just now.

Generally, they return home in vain.

"Master, congratulations, you answered correctly."

After saying congratulations, the boss smiled and took off the red lantern and gave it to Li Miao. He was losing money on these two transactions, but he didn't care much.

After all...he had already made a lot of money before this.

"Give it to you."

Li Miao gave the red lantern in her hand to Zhe Xinyi.

"Thank you."

After Zhe Xinyi paused for a moment, she took it.

Not far away, Ji Gang and Zhang Feng, a pair of good friends, saw this scene and stopped trying to say hello.

Ji Gang touched Zhang Feng's shoulder and asked, "Is that lady from that family? Why does she look familiar?"

Zhang Feng said: "Haven't you seen it yet? The one from Zhe Mansion."

The two of them went to Zhe Mansion several times to look for Li Miao, and on one of them they met Zhe Xinyi.

"Oh... I mean, why does he look familiar? He changed his clothes and almost couldn't tell."

Ji Gang suddenly realized it, and then laughed mischievously: "I wonder why Brother Sanshui has been unwilling to move out of Zhe's house. It turns out that this is the reason!"

The two wandered around the streets for a while, and after seeing that it was not too early, they set off back to Zhefu.

The bun-faced maid brought a small stool and sat down not far from the gate of Zhe Mansion. She supported her round chin with her hands and stared straight at the gate with her big eyes, even if she had her hands to support her.

While sitting, his little head was still tapping from time to time, attracting the attention of the guard from time to time.

When Li Miao and Zhe Xinyi entered the gate of Zhe Mansion, they saw such a scene.

What is this stupid maid doing?

Zhe Xinyi asked in astonishment: "Myolie, what are you doing sitting here?"

The bun-faced maid opened her slightly confused eyes. After seeing the situation clearly, she jumped up from the stool and looked very surprised.

"Miss, Mr. Li, you two are finally back!"

Then, she pouted her lips slightly and said a little aggrievedly: "Miss, you and Mr. Li went out to play, Xiuhe and the others were not here either. The master and his wife didn't know they were talking about something, and I was the only one..."<
