It took a lot of effort for him to move his affectionate eyes away from her and walk up to Mu Zhongqing to greet him.

When Mu Zhongqing saw him, he was surprised at first, and then started chatting with him with a cheerful laugh.

If Huo Yuan wanted to win over a beautiful woman, he naturally had to have a good relationship with his future father-in-law. He was traveling all year round, was well-informed, and was a sociable person. Therefore, when Mu Zhongqing was chatting, he deliberately picked up some things he liked. As for the topic, the two soon had a great conversation!

As he was talking, he suddenly heard Caiwei on the side shout: "Yes!"

The shout was so loud that it startled the two of them. Mu Zhongqing scolded: "Weier, don't be so rude by shouting. Didn't you see Mr. Huo is still there? How can you be so ignorant of the rules."

Huo Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Wei'er must have thought of something unimaginable, so that's why she is like this."

Caiwei nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I have thought of the answer to this lantern riddle!"

Mu Zhongqing was surprised and said: "How did you think of it? What is the answer to the riddle? Come and tell me."

When the guessers on the side heard Caiwei's words, they also gathered around, looking like they were asking for advice humbly.

"Girl, please tell everyone, let us learn a lot!"

"Yes, girl, tell me now!"

Caiwei smiled slightly and said: "The lantern riddle has a unique glyph shape. The riddle first puts the word '一' into the word '西', and becomes '酉'. The word 'ru' is clever and does not reveal any trace; In addition, the word "水" is listed in the word "Chuan", and it becomes "zhou". The word "ping" is smart and chemical, and the word "you" is combined with "zhou", and the bottom text comes out, which is "pay". Character."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood and praised Caiwei for her intelligence. They also urged Caiwei to quickly write down the answer to the riddle and send the boy to send it in for the person who came up with the riddle to see.

Mu Zhongqing was very proud to see his daughter with such a long face, but he kept humbly saying to everyone: "Thank you, thank you..."

While Caiwei wrote down the answer to the riddle, she sincerely praised: "This riddle does not use surprising strokes or gorgeous words. Once you understand it, it naturally becomes a rhyme. If you savor it carefully, you can see that every word has its place and is thoughtful." , A famous hand makes a riddle, but he has no time to write and ink. I just don’t know who did it? "

Huo Yuan said with a smile: "Weier is so complimentary. Huo is really ashamed that his stupid work can win Weier's favor!"

Caiwei was shocked: "It's you who came up with the lantern riddle!"

Huo Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly!"

As soon as these words came out, the people watching the excitement all cast their eyes in admiration. Everyone thought that this profound mystery was done by an old scholar who had experienced the world and experienced vicissitudes of life. Who would have thought that it was actually the work of such a person? The young master's hand, which was so elegant and graceful, couldn't help but praise him.

"Young master is so ingenious and clever!"

"I wonder if the young master has any fame now? If he takes part in this year's imperial examination, he will definitely win the title of number one scholar..."

Huo Yuan smiled humbly and said continuously: "You are all so grateful. I am too embarrassed to deserve it..."

He was personable, modest and courteous. Mu Zhongqing was a man who read poetry and books, so he should like humble and courteous young people the most, he thought.

After Caiwei knew that Mu Zhongqing had come up with the mystery, she couldn't help but look at him with admiration, praised him a few times, and said with a smile: "I remember Uncle Cao said that Brother Huo's lottery is a big deal. I just don't know what it is. What can it do?" If you tell me, I will be happy in advance!"

Huo Yuan said with a smile: "I also remember Wei'er once said, I'm afraid that the lottery I set is not what you like, so why not take this opportunity and let you pick one by yourself, no matter what it is, no matter how much it is worth, as long as Wei'er says , Huo will give it to you!"
