Chapter 180 Guessing Lantern Riddles
The next day at chen time.
As the sky turned blue, two horse-drawn carriages quietly drove out of Linjia Village.
The ones driving the carriage were Lin Dadan and Lin Chun, while Lin Jiaojiao brought Tongfu and Zhao Xiaotong with her family of five, while Zhao Yang and the others stayed behind to guard the house.
The carriage that Lin Jiaojiao was riding in was driven by Lin Dadan, and she and her three husbands were sitting inside. Lin's father and others went to the carriage driven by Lin Chun at the back.
When they arrived at the entrance of Nanshan City, they met up with Fu's mother's carriage and followed it towards Qingzhou.
Considering that there were two pregnant men in the car, the car was not driving very fast. It stopped and started along the way. When we arrived in Qingzhou, it was already the evening before.
Lin Yizhi lifted the car curtain and looked at the brightly lit streets outside. It was so lively. People coming and going were holding lanterns of various shapes, and some even wore masks on their faces.
"My dear wife, it's so lively here. Shall we go out for a walk later?"
She looked at his excited face, which was in stark contrast to the other two, especially Lin Yiyan who was holding his stomach with a tired look on his face, while Fu Qi had already fallen asleep on her legs.
She also yawned, "Okay, I'll come out with you later."
When the group arrived at the inn, they did not follow Fu's mother to stay at Jiang Mansion. After all, Lin Dadan and the others were out for fun, and they didn't dare to have a good time at Jiang Mansion.
Lin Jiaojiao and the others also repeatedly declined Fu's mother's kindness, and just said that they would come to visit in person tomorrow morning.
And this inn happened to be Qiu Xilan's Qiulai Inn. When Qiu Xilan returned and learned that they were going to Qingzhou, she specially sent someone to reserve a room for them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to book a room now.
The waiter took the carriage to the stable behind the inn and parked it. Lin Dadan and Zhou Xiaofeng looked at the inn in front of them with emotion.
"Qiu Diaoyi has such a big family business, but he doesn't want to inherit it, and comes to our farm to work?"
"Jia Jia is the same. His husband follows me around every day and he doesn't even mind the dirtiness when I feed the chickens."
After they entered, they felt the enthusiasm of the store staff. They took all their luggage to the room and even quickly prepared hot water for the bathtub.
Later, Lin Dadan went to the toilet and found that the design of the toilet was exactly the same as that of the farm, so she hurried to find Lin Jiaojiao to explain.
"Boss, Dispatcher Qiu is indeed a commercial spy. She even moved our toilet here."
Lin Jiaojiao was drinking tea in the lobby, waiting for Lin Yizhi to come down and go to the night market together, so it was not surprising to hear her say this.
"She told me, and I agreed. Don't you find that these shop assistants are very active and enthusiastic?"
Lin Dadan had not stayed in an inn many times, and shook his head embarrassedly. Lin Jiaojiao explained directly.
"She also used our attendance system and welfare system. You can go and see there is a mailbox outside the door."
She hurried to the gate and saw a small envelope box with "Suggestion Box" written on it.
I didn't look carefully when I came in before. I just noticed this three-story building with red lanterns hanging all over it. Wow, even the anonymous suggestion box outside her office door was moved here.
"Boss, this, this!"
Lin Jiaojiao waved her hand to calm her down. "It's nothing. Our farm is not closed. Sooner or later, others will follow suit."
Seeing that Lin Dadan was listening attentively, she continued, "Besides, Qiu Xilan and her husband both work hard on our farm, and she asked me and I agreed to it, so don't worry, there will be more people who will follow our example in the future, so we just need to do our own business well."
At this time, Lin Yizhi came down from upstairs, followed by Zhou Xiaofeng and the others. Lin's father and the other two pregnant men were already tired, so they did not come down to visit the night market together.
"My dear wife, does this dress look good on me?"
"It looks good, let's go."
After saying that, she took his hand and went out together. They did not go out with Lin Dadan's family, but acted separately. After all, they also wanted to live in their own world.
He was a little nervous along the way and kept his head down, not daring to look around. After all, this was the first time they had such close contact on a busy street.
"It's okay, you see they are holding hands too."
He looked in the direction of her finger and indeed saw several couples strolling around holding hands with smiles on their faces, so he gradually let go.
"Wife, I want to eat that."
She followed him to a vendor selling candied haws and bought two strings for fifty cents. They each had one string while walking.
Many women who passed by them looked at them strangely. After all, this thing was eaten by men and children. They didn't expect that this woman also ate it with gusto. Could she be a man dressed as a woman?
This was her first time to eat candied haws from this world, and it was pretty good. It would be even better if there were candied flat hawthorns, candied yam beans, and candied strawberries. These three were her favorites.
But after the Chinese New Year, I can go back and get flat hawthorns to eat and sell, which is great and a major business opportunity.
Lin Jiaojiao felt that her eating was too conspicuous, so she took Lin Yizhi to buy a mask and wear it.
She chose one with a butterfly pattern. She thought he would choose one with a rabbit pattern, but he chose a simple little white flower. She immediately understood his intention. If there weren't so many people around, she really wanted to kiss him.
The two had just finished eating the candied haws in their hands when they were attracted by the chance to guess riddles and win prizes. After all, it was free and there were many people around, so they immediately went to join in the fun.
There are ten levels in total. If you guess one correctly, you can get the corresponding prize. The levels become more difficult as you go along. However, there is only one prize for the last three levels, and if someone else guesses correctly, you lose it.
Lin Yizhi immediately set his eyes on the prize for the last level, which was two lifelike rabbit lanterns. Compared with the other lanterns, this one was extremely exquisite. It was just right for him and his wife to get one each.
He never thought that she would not be able to get it if she guessed it wrong.
Lin Jiaojiao led Lin Yizhi to guess riddles one by one. When they guessed correctly at the eighth level, they found out that the prize was gone. Even the ninth level was gone. At the tenth level, there were a lot of people standing by to watch.
"Who is this man? He is wearing a mask, so he should be unmarried."
"You can tell she's a beauty just by looking at her figure..."
"I don't know which young master he is..."
"Hey? Someone else is coming to the tenth level so soon?"
"Is this puzzle so simple now? Why can't I guess the fifth one correctly?"
Everyone saw that the person coming was a woman wearing a mask, and she was leading a man who was also wearing a mask.
Lin Jiaojiao saw that there was a man wearing a green cloak with a fur collar and a mask with the same butterfly pattern on his face standing in front of the puzzle. However, his mask covered his entire face, while hers only covered the upper half of her face, after all, she had to show her mouth to eat.
But she just glanced at it and then concentrated on the questions. After all, this person must have been here for a while, and she had to race against time to avoid missing out on the prize again.
The masked man looked over when the woman came here, and he was slightly stunned when he saw her mask.
However, he soon figured out something from the woman's figure and the mask that revealed her. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then when he saw the man behind her, his doubts were answered.
