PFC Chapter 177 Lantern Festival
Chapter 177 Lantern Festival
Song Yu was really happy and went shopping after watching the fun.
Although they were just small gadgets from small stalls, she didn't dislike them at all.
"This sachet is beautiful." Song Yu said as she picked up a blue sachet embroidered with peach blossoms. She put it to her nose and sniffed it. It was just ordinary spices.
There are mugwort leaves; angelica dahurica; cloves; honeysuckle; mint; calamus; perilla leaves; patchouli
"Girl, buy one. This sachet can repel mosquitoes and insects." Seeing that business was coming, the boss hurriedly greeted her warmly.
Song Yu asked, "Are all these sachets made of the same material?"
The boss picked up another one and said, "It's different. This one is for refreshing and relieving stress."
Song Yu took it and smelled it, and it had the scent of Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes macrocephala.
"Anything else?" Song Yu asked.
The boss took a few more and introduced them one by one.
Song Yu was about to buy a few and looked around: "Do you want any?"
Qingluo looked disgusted: "What kind of rubbish is this?"
Ji Qiuyue took it, smelled it and said, "I want one."
Song Yu looked back at Qingque and Hongyu and said to the boss, "We want four."
Then he picked and chose, took four, and handed two to Qingque and Hongyu behind him.
"Thank you, young lady." The two of them smiled happily when they found out that there was also a share for them.
Just as Song Yu was about to pay, the sachet in his hand was snatched away.
"Since you want to give it to me, I'll reluctantly take it," Qingluo said, hooking the sachet strap with one finger.
Song Yu was stunned. Qingluo had already left, and turned around to urge him: "What are you dawdling for?"
Song Yu came back to his senses, took another sachet, and said to the boss, "I want these five."
"Okay, that's two cents in total. Thank you for your patronage." The boss held out his hand to take the money.
Qingluo is extremely beautiful, Ji Qiuyue is a pretty lady, and Song Yu is bright and charming. Any one of these three people would be famous in a certain area.
Now, the three of them gathered together, wearing purple shirts, white clothes, and red skirts. Wherever they went, passers-by looked up and down.
"They're guessing riddles over there." Song Yu raised his hand and pointed at a stall not far ahead.
"Let's go and take a look." After saying that, he squeezed into the crowd.
Unexpectedly, her arm was grabbed. She turned around and saw that it was Ji Qiuyue.
When Ji Qiuyue saw her turn around, she immediately let go of her hand and said only three words: "Too many people."
Song Yu was about to thank him, but before she could finish her words, her other arm was grabbed. She turned her head and saw it was Qingluo.
She grabbed Song Yu's arm, but her eyes were looking at Ji Qiuyue, and she said with a sarcastic smile: "So what if there are many people."
After he finished speaking, he blasted out a palm wind, and the crowd in front of Song Yu fell to both sides, creating a clear path.
Ji Qiuyue's face changed drastically when she saw this. She raised her finger and pointed at Qingluo, saying angrily, "This is a busy city. Do you know that if you do this, it will cause a riot? If people get trampled and die, can you bear the responsibility?"
Seeing this, Qingluo just sneered and said indifferently, "What does their life or death have to do with me?"
"You, witch!" Ji Qiuyue was furious.
Song Yu also thought of this problem and said, "Is this unsafe? Or should we..."
Before he could finish his words, Qingluo glared at him: "You actually spoke for her?"
"I'm not speaking for her. I'm just stating the facts. This is indeed...unsafe." Song Yu's voice was almost inaudible when he said the last three words.
Faced with Qingluo's questioning, she felt inexplicably guilty, but why should she feel guilty? She had done nothing wrong.
Before she could retort, Qingluo had already dragged her towards the riddle stall.
The people who had already stood up around them automatically scattered to both sides in order to avoid the situation.
Seeing this, Ji Qiuyue stomped her feet in anger and hurriedly followed.
The stall, which was originally bustling with activity, became empty due to the arrival of the three people.
The shopkeeper looked at the three people, especially the two women on the left and right, although they were beautiful.
But it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with, but now that he was right in front of me, I couldn't afford to provoke him, nor could I chase him away.
I can only put on a smile and receive them as usual.
"Do you girls want to guess riddles?" the boss asked with a smile.
Qingluo said unhappily, "Nonsense."
Song Yu quickly responded: "Boss, what is this rule?"
The boss saw that Song Yu had the kindest face among the three, and he felt less timid when speaking to her.
"If you guess ten riddles in a row, you can get a lantern for free," said the boss.
Song Yu said, "We want to play."
The boss pointed to the riddle paper on the stall and said, "Young lady, please."
Song Yu picked up a piece of paper with words and numbers on it.
"There is no trace of immortals at the broken bridge. Guess a word." Song Yu read the riddle on the paper.
"It's the word Jiao! A small and high mountain is called Cen; a sharp and high mountain is called Jiao." Ji Qiuyue said from the side.
Song Yu's eyes lit up and he went to see the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "That's right."
Song Yu didn't expect to pass the first one so quickly. He picked up another card and said, "Today, we are so happy to say goodbye. Guess a flower."
"Smiling!" Ji Qiuyue gave the answer first again.
Boss: “That’s right.”
Song Yu then took down a piece: "It has a face but no mouth, it has feet but no hands, and although it has four legs, it cannot walk. Guess what it is."
This time Ji Qiuyue didn't answer the question off the top of his head, so Song Yu had to analyze the riddle himself. Just as he had an idea in his mind, before he could open his mouth, someone else spoke first.
"It's the table." This time it was Qingluo who spoke.
"This girl got it right," the boss said immediately.
Song Yu looked at Qingluo with admiration.
However, Qingluo ignored Song Yu and looked at Ji Qiuyue with a provocative look.
The two of them were disgusted with each other.
Song Yu noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly said, "Continue, continue, there are seven more questions."
She picked and chose from the stalls and saw one that suited her: "Looking down and thinking of my hometown, guess the name of a herb."
Song Yu looked around. It seemed that neither Ji Qiuyue nor Qingluo had guessed the answer. She said to the boss, "Boss, the answer is Huai Shudi."
The boss looked through the test book and said, "The girl got the answer right."
Song Yu was beaming with joy, thinking of Rehmannia glutinosa, which has the effects of nourishing blood, replenishing yin, and replenishing essence and marrow.
Next, none of the six riddles that Song Yu found could be used by her. Before she could guess the answer, the two "military advisors" beside her had already answered it.
Finally they were qualified to choose the lights.
Song Yu chose a lotus lantern with a lotus-shaped lamp stand, pink petals, and yellow lotus core, which was very beautiful.
"Come again," Qingluo pulled Song Yu, as if she would not give up until she had a clear winner with Ji Qiuyue.
Song Yu said: "If you don't come, I have to go somewhere else."
When Qingluo heard this, she snatched the lamp from her hand and said, "This is mine. You have to go and win it yourself."
"Hey, I'm..."
"Whatever you have is yours. If you want to guess riddles, I guessed the most. This lantern should belong to me." Ji Qiuyue also got the lantern.
Song Yu was caught between the two and was in a dilemma.
Suddenly her body leaned back as if someone was pulling her, and she took a few steps back due to inertia.
She fell into Qingling's arms, and Qingling put his arm around her waist and said, "Ayu, pick another one. Don't argue with them. I'll buy it for you."
Song Yu looked up at Qing Ling.
