Chapter 46: 46th

Along the way, Li Jin took Qin Muwen and bought a sugar blower, a feather mask and a small rabbit carved out of wood.
Actually, the stall owner didn't intend to sell this rabbit woodcarving, but he knew Li Jin.
It rained heavily in the first half of the year, and his youngest had a fever because of wearing less clothes. Thanks to Dr. Li's wonderful rejuvenation, Yao'er was saved.
The stall owner had originally planned to go to Xinglin Hall to thank Doctor Li, but this time, by chance, he directly gave the wood carving to Li Jin.
"It's not a valuable gadget anyway, Doctor Li, don't refuse."
Li Jin had no choice but to accept it.
In his previous life as a doctor, he was used to not accepting any thanks from patients, but it was different in ancient times. Of course, he did not need to come to thank you for healing minor illnesses, but if he saved the elderly or children in the family, the family must come to thank him solemnly.
This is an unwritten rule. The last time Li Jin gave the treasurer Song's daughter-in-law with a pair of decoctions, he also received a thank you gift.
The main street was not long, and Li Jin quickly took Qin Muwen to the end and saw the sparkling river.
The riverside is much noisier than the main street, and vendors selling lanterns and snacks can't help but shout, and there are even jugglers performing fire breathing.
It's not lively.
Li Jin even saw a high platform erected on the other side of the river with bamboo poles, with painted lanterns hung on it, and the crowd was rushing there.
Li Jin caught the people around him, saying that the girls in Piaoxiangyuan would dance there.
He frowned slightly, although he was not afraid of the shadow slanting, he was clean with that card.
But the previous two years left the teenager too much injury, and he did not want to reopen the scar.
Li Jin saw that the boy was still looking at the juggling child, but he didn't hear this.
Therefore, lead the teenager to avoid the crowd and walk towards the less crowded place by the river.
Qin Muwen only heard that there were lanterns and snacks at the temple fair. How could he have thought it would be so lively?
This is just a small town, if it were really put in the capital, it would be so prosperous.
Qin Muwen was very well-behaved. Although he still wanted to watch juggling, Li Jin took him away and he followed obediently.
Anyway, with A Jin by his side, whatever he thinks is good.
Li Jin took him to a place with few people.
He didn't rush to buy lanterns, as all the lanterns were sold on the road. He had to find a place where he could put the lanterns by the river.
It just so happened that there was a stall selling lanterns beside a large, flat rock beside the river. It was so festive to see that there were many styles.
Li Jin asked Qin Muwen to pick a lamp he liked. The young man was full of joy, but looking at these lights were all beautiful and dazzled.
However, he also knew that since A Jin let himself make up his mind, then such trivial matters shouldn't bother A Jin.
Finally, he held the rabbit woodcarving in his hand and also chose a river lantern with a jade rabbit painted on it.
It's not that the stall owner has never seen the newlyweds come to light the river lanterns, but the husbands rarely see them.
The boy with a mole on his eyebrows smiled purely, and the boy standing beside him had a pure and noble temperament. Although he didn't smile, his eyes kept falling on him.
The stall owner noticed that this man was wearing a robe, and he looked like a scholar.
The stall owner said: "We can still guess lantern riddles, we can guess all three lanterns, we can guess all of them, and there is a big prize!"
Qin Muwen looked at Li Jin with bright eyes full of expectation.
Li Jin shook his head helplessly. Although he was good at endorsement, he was a layman in the pastime of ancient scholars such as pairing, guessing, and composing poems.
Although these are the most basic qualities of ancient literati, Meng children in their teens can chant poems and guess lantern riddles, but they also have to be cultivated since childhood.
Li Jin is a thorough modern medical student. He also studied science in high school, and he has not been nurtured at all.
But looking at the look of the youth's expectation, Li Jin didn't want to pour cold water on him.
Isn't it just guessing lantern riddles? He has memorized so long books, as long as they are allusions in the book, he can know it.
Li Jin thought, even if he couldn't guess all of them, it might be okay for the three to earn a lantern for the young man.
Just when Li Jin was about to guess the lantern riddle, a person who came to buy the lantern asked: "You made this lantern riddle?"
The stall owner smiled and waved his hand: "That's not the case. The lanterns of our river channel are in charge of a shopkeeper, and they also make lantern riddles. There are three points on this river channel to guess lantern riddles, and I am just one of them.
I was surrounded by a lot of people just now, but the platform on the other side of the river was about to be erected, and they all ran over. "
The man asked again: "Then if I read the riddles in the other two places and come to you to guess again, won't I be able to guess everything right soon?"
The stall owner replied: "No, we have different riddles in the three places. If the customer can guess all the riddles at any point, they can get the big prize."
The man asked the stall owner to take out a lantern riddle to see. The stall owner pointed to the fifteen lanterns in the row above his head.
"The lantern riddle is written on the lamp, and the guest guesses which one, just write it down."
Maybe I know that there are not many scholars in the town. Even if someone sees lantern riddles and goes back to ask a capable person, they probably won’t be able to answer all lantern riddles in one go.
Therefore, the stall owner was too lazy to cover up, and directly hung up a row of lantern riddles.
As he said, he pointed to the burred paper and pen and ink at the front of the stall.
"You can do it yourself, if you don't want to guess the lantern riddle, you can also buy the lantern inscription for yourself."
Li Jin thought that the person who asked the question would pick up a pen and paper to write, but he didn't expect that after the question, he picked a lotus lantern and paid directly to leave.
"I'm looking at you. Lantern riddles are too difficult. Go elsewhere to guess."
The stall owner smiled: "Please feel free."
Then he turned to Li Jin, "Do you want to try?"
Li Jin said: "It's a show of ugliness."
He looked at the first lantern, and only four words "Yefeiye" were written on it.
No wonder the person just said that riddles are difficult.
Li Jin's complexion was as usual, he thought, these four words have no source or clue, so naturally they have to think in a clever direction.
Yefeiye, homophonic "Yefeiye".
Li Jin remembered that there was a sentence in the "Analects of Confucius" that he recited, "Qi Jinggong asked about Confucius...", so he wrote three words on the rough, rough-edged paper.
Father is not father.
The stall owner was already holding his hands. He didn't think anyone in the town could answer these puzzles. After all, the final prize was...rich.
But Li Jin's answer to the first puzzle is too fast.
The point is, he got it right.
The stall owner kept quiet, took the first piece of Li Jin's paper, and then said, "Can you continue to guess the riddle?"

Li Jin said: "Naturally."
This is the first guess. The idea of ​​lantern riddles by the ancients is not as active as modern ones, and most of these lantern riddles have their origins.
Li Jin thought, after so long memorizing the book, I can finally check the effect.
If this idea is known to Mr. Song, I'm afraid he will beat him up.
Is the purpose of endorsement to guess lantern riddles?
The stall owner said: "If this is the case, then I have to follow the rules and wait for you to guess before giving the result."
Li Jin responded calmly: "It should be so."
Qin Muwen had already walked to Li Jin with the rabbit lantern at this time. Although he knew a little bit of lantern riddles, he didn't play much.
He looked at the riddles, and he probably had some ideas, but he didn't know how to solve them.
On the contrary, seeing Li Jin's writing, it suddenly became clear to my heart that the answer was like this.
The stall owner was very surprised. He looked at people with good eyes and looked at the look of this brother, but he seemed to be literate.
There are few literate daughters in town, let alone brothers. No wonder being so spoiled by her husband.
Li Jin quickly wrote five answers, and the stall owner's eyelids jumped, feeling that tonight's prize was going to fall on his slightly more off-site stall.
The stall owner saw that Li Jin had solved five mysteries, but his speed of solving puzzles was not slow at all, on the contrary, there was a trend of faster and faster.
I really feel my heart is bleeding...
But he changed his mind to think about it, anyway, the prize was given by the big shopkeeper behind it, not by him, so he should encourage the guest.
Li Jin also happened to be here. The ancient riddles liked to quote the classics, and he just finished these books by chance.
As for the remaining small skills, they are nothing more than homophonic and split words. As long as the thinking is more flexible, you can quickly guess it.
Li Jin handed the last mystery to the stall owner and said, "I should have guessed at least three, right?"
Vendor: "What a stop! You guessed it all!"
Li Jinle is now, he did not expect that he still has the talent for guessing lantern riddles.
The stall owner said: "Wait a minute, this guest, you have guessed all the riddles, this rabbit lamp will be given to you.
As for the final prize, I have to send someone to report it to the shopkeeper before it can be honored. "
Li Jin stopped him and said, "The big prize is unnecessary. I just want to win a lantern for my wife. This is enough."
Qin Muwen was not a greedy person either. He held the rabbit lamp in his arms and was completely reluctant to let go.
Li Jin squeezed his face and said, "Do you have any wishes? I will write them."
Qin Muwen whispered: "A Jin, can I write it myself?"
Li Jin handed him the pen full of ink.
Holding the lamp, Qin Muwen turned his back to Li Jin, and carefully wrote two lines, trying to block it with his body, hiding his careful thoughts.
Li Jin definitely wouldn't do something like peeking, but he could also guess the little guy's shy thoughts.
Thinking about it this way, Li Jin felt that he had committed a crime. He was only seventeen, and he was still underage in modern times.
When Li Jin waited for the young man to finish writing, he took him to the riverside to light a lamp and make a wish.
The running water carried a bright rabbit lamp away, and there were two lines of jerky but affectionate wishes on it.
It wasn't until Li Jin and the boy couldn't see the lantern anymore, they walked back.
As for the stall owner, even though Li Jin said he didn't want a big prize, it was just a rabbit lamp.
But after all, he was not the last person to make the decision, and he reported the matter to the treasurer who covered the next river.
After listening to his description, the shopkeeper smiled: "Do you know who that person is?"
The stall owner shook his head: "I don't know."
"That is Li Jin, the little genius doctor of Xinglintang."
The shopkeeper said, "Since it is him, then don't force him to give him a big prize. Anyway, he is not rare."
The stall owner didn't understand at all, the big prize was... the Mid-Autumn Festival night of the Piaoxiangyuan Oiran, it could be described as "not rare".
Moreover, judging from the tone of the shopkeeper, he seems to know that Doctor Li is the same.
The shopkeeper said: "Although Doctor Li is not uncommon, he still has to spread all the riddles he guessed correctly, and the province was said to be stingy by someone with a heart.
As for the final prize, it goes without saying. "
Fortunately, only the shopkeeper, the three stall owners and Ling Mei knew what the awards were, so there was no need to pass them out to Piaoxiangyuan as a shame.
Li Jin was carrying a basket on his back that night, pulling Fu Lang, wearing a star and wearing a moon, and walked back with the villagers.
I don't know all this at all.
Early the next morning, the well-informed Mr. Song seemed to have forgotten what he had done to the pair yesterday, and he was in a good mood to praise Li Jin's ability to guess lantern riddles.
Mr. Song said: "The riddles are broken well, and they will be broken even if you go to test talents and write eight-part essays."
Li Jin thought, this is really serious nonsense.
However, since Mr. Song is not a person who likes to joke, he believed this sentence for the time being.
At the same time, in Piaoxiangyuan, Ling Mei dropped her favorite hairpin, and there were many rouge gouache wrecks on the ground.
Her voice was trembling: "Li Jin...refused?"
The maids had not had time to reply, and the maids who usually took care of them pushed in directly.
"Not only refused, but he also said that guessing the riddle is only to win a lantern for Fu Lang."
The mother had a calm tone, but her words stuck in Ling Mei's heart like a knife.
"In the end, he only took the lantern."
The author has something to say: 　　 [The answer to the mystery ‘father or not’ comes from the following sentence. Because there are too many words, they are not included in the text. 】
Qi Jinggong asked about Confucius.
Confucius replied: "The emperor, the minister, the father and the son."
The public said: "Goodness! Faith is like a king but not a king, a minister is not a minister, a father is not a father, a son is not a son, although there are millets, I can eat everything?"
