The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 507: Lantern Festival

Today's Central Plains has not been bound by extreme feudal ethics. Although men and women are different, the atmosphere is relatively open.

During the Lantern Festival, it is not uncommon for men and women to dress up in costumes and swim with the person they like.

Xu Qing took Xiao Ruxue's hand and walked around the lantern festival, while the shadow guards who followed behind him in casual clothes were terrified.

Even the prince's favorite little princess dared to cheat, and the commander's move can no longer be simply described as "ruthless"!

If the prince finds out about this, why don't you take the army from Chu to Zhao?

Wei Xiong looked at the people around him, coughed and said, "You didn't see anything just now, do you understand?"

All the shadow guards suddenly showed doubts: "What did you see? The subordinates didn't see anything."

Wei Xiong nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, let's go."

These shadow guards were very clear about what they could say and what they couldn't say when they reported their duties to the prince.

It's like whether the commander has come to the camp recently, whether he treats them well, whether the requirements are strict or not, whether he loves the soldiers as he loves himself, all these can be said.

But like this... right, after dating the prince's daughter, holding the prince's daughter's hand, maybe they will stay in the same room at night...

It is absolutely impossible to say something similar to this!

wrong! They didn't see it!

Having said this, it is not as simple as dismissing the commander. At that time, the old life of the commander may be hanging...

They remembered how kind the commander was to them. Since the commander came, the food for the three guards had become the best among the shadow guards!

The commander also drew up a meal list, such as meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits, with various combinations.

Not only has the food improved, but they will also distribute a pile of supplies from the National Chamber of Commerce every ten days, and there will be other silver rewards for winning the competition with the four guards and five guards.

Where can I find such a good leader?

Of course it must be protected!

Protect as much as you can!

The prince can't change it even if he wants to!

...

Xiao Ruxue held Xu Qing's hand and walked beside him.

They had just watched a juggler, Xiao Ruxue, who could spit out fire with a sip of wine, was even more amazed, but she couldn't do that.

Because she can't drink alcohol, she gets drunk when she drinks, Xu Qing said that when she is drunk, she will mess around...

While Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue were shopping to watch the lanterns, a woman who looked like a beggar walked by her side. The woman was dressed in ragged clothes, her face was dirty, she was hunchbacked, and beside her was a boy about four or five years old. Dressed in shabby clothes, but the boy had a silly look on his face.

The beggar held a broken bowl in his hand, but there was not even a copper coin in it, but everyone avoided to provoke him, and finally came to the side of Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue.

The beggar woman said in a pleading voice: "Young master and madam, please do me a favor, we haven't eaten for two days, please take pity on our wives..."

Before Xu Qing could react, Xiao Ruxue had already taken out a piece of broken silver and put it in the beggar's bowl: "Take it and buy something to eat."

The beggar woman saw such a large ingot of silver suddenly appearing in the bowl, she immediately expressed her gratitude: "Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am, thank you son."

A happy smile appeared on Xiao Ruxue's face, and she said, "Okay, okay, let's go buy some food."

The beggar woman took the child and left after thanking her repeatedly.

Xu Qing looked down at Xiao Ruxue at the side slightly, and said with a smile, "I've never seen you be so generous to brother Xiao." Xiao Ye is much more pitiful! Xiao Ye is not worthy of pity."

At this moment, Xiao Ruxue saw a booth, took Xu Qing's hand, and said, "Xu Qing Xu Qing, there are lantern riddles over there, shall we go over and guess the lantern riddles?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay."

A crowd of people gathered in front of the lantern riddle booth, trying to guess the riddles one after another. If they guess correctly, they will get a lottery prize!

At this moment, the chubby stall owner looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue who were walking hand in hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Madam, do you want to guess the lantern riddle?"

Xiao Ruxue nodded and said, "Guess, guess!"

The stall owner said: "The lady and the young master take a look at it slowly, and if they guess correctly, tell the villain, and the villain will take the lottery for the lady."

Xiao Ruxue nodded, and began to hang numerous lanterns in the sky with the crowd watching.

There is a flower rope under the lantern, and a piece of paper is worn on the flower rope. Lantern riddles are written on the paper piece. A small box is hung on the bottom of the flower rope. Obviously, what is contained in the small box is the lottery head.

Xu Qing just prayed that he wouldn't issue another full discount coupon like last time.

When Xu Qing guessed the lantern riddles for the first time, she was a little curious. If she guessed correctly, she would give them a free gift. How could they be so kind?

After guessing once, I found out that it is still true, no profiteering, no business!

It turned out that it was to promote the own restaurant under the banner of guessing lantern riddles.

From Xu Qing's point of view, the lantern riddles this time are probably not that simple. How could someone trade at a loss?

Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Have you chosen which one to guess?"

Xiao Ruxue pointed to one of the bunch of lanterns, and said, "That one looks like a Lotus flower, that lantern looks pretty."

Holding Xiao Ruxue with his right hand, Xu Qing stretched out his left hand and pulled the riddle on the flower rope towards him, looking at the lantern riddle above, it was a guessing lantern riddle:

The body is round when young, flat when old, straight when idle, and curved when busy.

The gifted scholar and beautiful woman who was also reading the lantern riddles saw the lantern riddles but smiled and said: "Why did Mrs. Sister-in-law choose the hardest one for Xiongtai? This lantern is beautiful, and the lantern riddles hanging below are also the most difficult to solve. I can't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time." clue."

The rest of the geniuses also nodded one after another:

"That's right, I've guessed all the lantern riddles and never seen such a difficult riddle."

"It's the same below."

"..."

Xiao Ruxue was stunned when she heard the words of the people around her, looked at Xu Qing who was thinking, and couldn't help but said: "Is it so difficult? Why don't I change it, let's not guess about it."

Xu Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing difficult. The answer to this lantern riddle is a pole. The pole is made of bamboo. When I was young, my body was round. When I grew up, I made it into a pole and it would naturally become flat. When it's not in use, it's straight. Picking up heavy objects and starting to work is naturally bending."

The stall owner was surprised and said: "Young master is so clever, he actually hit the nail on the head. The answer to this riddle is the shoulder pole."

Even if Xu Qing mentioned the shoulder pole, there are still many people around him who are still thinking about what the pole is...

Xiao Ruxue guessed the answer when she saw Xu Qing's two or three guesses, and said with a giggle, "You are amazing! They couldn't guess it, but you figured it out right away!"

Xu Qing said with a smile: "It's not that these brothers can't figure it out, but they have never seen it before. The shoulder poles are used by servants and farmers for work. If you don't understand the characteristics of the poles, you will have no clue. Maybe even if you have seen it in the mansion. Even if people use it, they can’t name it, let’s not talk about them, Xue’er, do you know what a shoulder pole looks like?”

"Ah?" Xiao Ruxue blinked her eyes: "What the hell is a shoulder pole?"
