A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 182: Guess the Riddles and Win a Lantern

The audience was cheering and excited at times.

After watching the acrobatics, everyone went to listen to storytelling.

After walking around the street, everyone was a little tired, hungry and thirsty.

Seeing the look on everyone's faces, especially Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, Father Zhang suggested, "Everyone is hungry now, why don't we go to Tianxianglou to eat and take a rest at the same time."

"Well, I should thank you, otherwise I would probably have even less energy in a while."

When everyone arrived at Tianxiang Tower, the first floor was already full of people.

Cao Shiyang was greeting guests on the first floor when he saw the Zhang family coming in.

He walked towards the crowd, clasped his fists from a distance, and said, "Grandpa, Madam, Miss Zhang, Happy New Year to everyone."

Grandpa Zhang: "Manager Cao, Tianxianglou is full of guests today."

"No, no, you guys are here to eat, right? There are no seats on the first floor right now. Let's go to the private room on the second floor."

After saying that, Cao Shiyang led the Zhang family to the second floor and led everyone to an empty box.

"Master, Madam, please come in."

Everyone sat down in the box.

Cao Shiyang: "Does anyone want to eat anything? There are names of various dishes in our restaurant on the wall."

Everyone looked at it and decided to let Zhang Yunyue order the dishes: "Manager Cao, please give us some of the restaurant's signature dishes, two or three vegetarian dishes, and a soup dish. It should be enough for us to eat. You decide."

Cao Shiyang nodded: "Okay, I'll go down and order some food for you. You guys take a rest in the box first, and I'll have someone serve you some tea."

After saying that, Cao Shiyang stepped back.

Simultaneously.

Xiao Qi, who was on the third floor, saw the Zhang family members entering the restaurant, and also saw her still in her red dress.

After Cao Shiyang left the box, the Zhang family members in the box also became casual.

Zhang Yunyue stood by the window, looking at the people walking on the street. Everyone's face was filled with joy, and there were many boys and girls walking together.

Zhang Xinghao also stood beside her and discussed with her the passers-by below, and the two laughed out loud from time to time.

While waiting for the meal, everyone talked about the wonderful moments of the acrobatics they had just watched. Although they had already seen it once before, it still felt thrilling when they talked about it now.

The food was served, there were about ten dishes.

Although the food at Tianxianglou is a bit expensive, it still tastes pretty good. Since I bought peppers from Zhang's workshop, the taste of the food has reached a new level.

My family had come here to eat before during the Lantern Festival, but this time, everyone still praised it, saying that it was worthy of being a big restaurant and the taste was really good.

After dinner, everyone went downstairs and talked about where to go next.

Xiao Qi, who was upstairs, heard their conversation and his mind turned.

After paying the bill, Mr. Zhang said goodbye to Cao Shiyang.

When I came out, it was already dark and all kinds of lanterns were lit on both sides of the street.

Grandpa Zhang saw his grandchildren who were still full of energy and said:

"Xiaoyun, Xiaohao, Yueyue, go and play by yourselves. You won't have much fun if you're with us. Just go back early after playing. When we get tired of shopping, we'll go back to Taoyuan Lane directly."

Zhang Yunyue thought so too. They were full of energy and enjoyed running and jumping all the time, so it was more suitable for grandpa and father to stroll around slowly.

"Well, Grandpa, we'll go back after we've walked around the streets for a while."

So Zhang Yunyue and the others separated from Grandpa Zhang and the others and went shopping on their own.

Zhang Yunyue and the others, who were away from Grandpa Zhang, spoke more casually.

Zhang Yunxue pointed to the mask stall in front and said, "Brother, second brother, sister, let's go buy some masks."

"Okay, let's go. We'll each wear a mask. But Xiaoxue, Xiaofeng, you have to walk next to us when you put on the masks."

"Yes, sister, I will hold your hand and walk with you in a moment."

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at the masks. I drew them all myself. Please feel free to take a look at them."

Zhang Yunyue and a few others looked at the stall. There were quite a lot of masks, in various animal styles. Zhang Yunyue chose a fox mask, Zhang Yunxue chose a rabbit mask, and Zhang Xingfeng chose a pig mask. As soon as they put them on, they burst into laughter.

Zhang Yunxue: "Third brother, you look so silly wearing this piggy mask, hahahaha."

However, Zhang Xingfeng disagreed: "There must be very few people wearing this mask. I am with my eldest brother and second brother, and they can see me at any time." After saying that, he shook his head proudly.

Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao also each chose one and put it on.

So he continued walking forward.

Zhang Yunyue walked in front holding Zhang Yunxue's hand, while Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao walked behind with Zhang Xingfeng in between.

Not long after the few people left, three more people came to the mask stall. One of them looked at the masks on the stall and picked out a fox-style mask and held it in his hand.

He then randomly picked up two masks and gave them to the two people behind him, asked them to pay, and then left wearing the masks.

One of them joked with the person next to him: "Hey, what's wrong with you today, young master? Not only did he buy a mask for himself, but he also bought masks for the two of us."

As he spoke, he put the mask on his face.

"You are such a taciturn person. You will die if you say anything."

The person next to him looked at the person who was speaking, said nothing, turned around and continued walking behind the young master.

"Guess the riddles and win a lantern. It only costs five cents. You can guess three riddles. If you win, you can pick a lantern at will. Anyone who wants a lantern can come and try. Guess the riddles and win a lantern. It only costs five cents..."

Zhang Xinghao was eager to try after hearing this: "Come on, Yueyue, brother, let's go and see if we can win two lanterns for Yueyue and Xiaoxue."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingyun also wanted to go: "Let's go and take a look."

“Miss, Sir, would you like to try guessing the riddles? It costs five cents to guess three times. As long as you guess correctly three times, you can choose any lantern on the scene to take away.” After saying that, he raised his hand and let everyone look at the lanterns hanging behind him.

"Okay, let's try it." After saying that, he took out five cents from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.

Then I drew the first riddle: A pair of bamboos on top, a bunch of hair on the bottom (guess an object)

Zhang Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "Brush."

The stall owner smiled and said, "Congratulations, young man, you got the first riddle right." Then he raised his hand and pointed to the table and said, "Please draw the second riddle."

Zhang Xingyun took out the second riddle and subconsciously read it out: "Fishing for the moon in the water is hard work."

After thinking about it for a while and still couldn't figure it out, he showed the riddle to a few people.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately said, "It's a lake."

"Oh, this young master is smart. He got the answer right. Please continue."

The third riddle: Qiu Shan recognizes his father.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately replied, "Yes, Yue."
