When the King of Qi decided to come, the princess sent someone to notify Chen Lin. With Li Jingsui, the two of them felt relieved.

After all, the winter in the south is cold. Although the two of them wore a lot of clothes, they still felt cold.

The New Year is coming soon, and Chen Lin invites the two to Hangzhou, but Guo Hao feels that the Chen family is not that good, so he doesn't agree to him.

The two of them celebrated the New Year in the hut. Chen Lin sent someone to deliver a lot of good things. With these things, the two of them didn't have to worry about food.

"Qiu Nan, you try this crab. Although it's a little late and not the best time, this male crab is still very fat!"

Qiu Nan nodded with a smile, opened a crab, took out the meat, then dipped it in the sauce prepared by Guo Hao, and delivered it directly to Guo Hao's mouth.

"You eat it, drink some ginger water after eating. Crabs are cold food. I don't know what Chen Lin thought about when I send crabs in the middle of winter."

Qiu Nan smiled when he heard this, put the crab meat in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it, which was very enjoyable.

Guo Hao had eaten crabs in his previous life, so it was not very novel. However, Qiunan had never eaten anything good since he was a child. After coming to Jiangnan, he felt like he had come to heaven. He would accept everything delicious, and his little face was a little round.

While drinking, Guo Hao talked to Qiunan. Qiunan occasionally issued one or two syllables, and Guo Hao was very excited.

After the Chinese New Year, the two had nothing to do. They thought that although Journey to the West could last for a while, this story alone was a bit monotonous, so Guo Hao talked to Qiunan Road.

"Qiuan, I'll tell you a story, and then you write it down. You have heard of all the three heroes and five righteousness. I'll repeat it again when I have time, and you can write it out."

Qiunan was very happy to hear the storytelling. She liked to listen to stories the most since she was a child, and the story Guo Hao told this time was the Legend of the White Snake.

"That's right, in Hangzhou, there was a child. One day he went up the mountain to collect herbs and saved a little white snake..."

In the beginning of the Legend of White Snake, Bai Suzhen was a serious monster, but with the later interpretation, she changed from a snake demon to a snake fairy, and a story of killing monsters and eliminating demons also turned into a love story.

Guo Hao roughly talked about these two, and then asked Qiunan which one he liked. Qiunan chose a love story without hesitation.

In the next ten days, the two wrote out the legend of the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness and the White Snake. Next, they were waiting for the opening of Juxian Pavilion on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Chen Lin came to Jinling and Guo Hao went to greet him. As soon as he met, he began to mutter: "Look, you choose this day. I haven't had a good year. I can't stay at home on the Lantern Festival. I have to run out. The officials have three days off!"

Guo Hao patted his shoulder when he heard this and said with a smile: "Come on, we are businessmen, not officials. Shangyuan Node Light is a good time for us to open our business.

I decided to hold a riddle conference on the evening of the Lantern Festival, and in our Juxian Pavilion, people can guess riddles for free. If they guess correctly, they can get tea for us, which is just right for us to advertise."

"Hey, Brother Guo has a good idea. We can use the Spring Festival to attract customers. But will the preparation be a little hasty now? What is the advertisement? How to call it?"

"...Advertisement is to let people know that there are some lanterns in Juxian Pavilion. At this moment, you only need to buy ten lanterns. As for riddles, it doesn't have to be too difficult. We can just pack smaller tea bags and give them out to taste them!"

After Guo Hao said this, Chen Lin also thought that this idea was good. When he came out before the opening, it was considered a preheating. They had already sent out a lot of tea, and it was not bad.

"Since that's the case, we'd better prepare early, but will it seem stingy if only tea leaves are? After all, this is my Chen family's shop."

Guo Hao glanced at him and said, "I'm going to go back to the Chen family. Now the Chen family is divided, so it doesn't cost to give gifts!

Let’s do this, if you guess the most riddles, I can give him a poem. If the other party knows the goods, he will not think that the gift is light. If he doesn’t know the goods, let’s talk about it.”

When Chen Lin heard that Guo Hao was going to send a poem, he immediately became interested. He had a lot of social engagements during this period, and Guo Hao's poems did earn him a lot of face.

"Brother Guo has another masterpiece? Why not talk about it first?"

Guo Hao knew that he was an old problem and shook his head and said, "I haven't yet, I'll talk about it tomorrow night."

When Chen Lin heard Guo Hao say no, he had to give up. The group came to Juxian Pavilion. Qiunan had been waiting for a long time. Chen Lin asked someone to buy lanterns, while others stayed to think of riddles.

Lantern riddles are also called Wenhu, guessing lantern riddles, also known as fighting tigers, playing wall lamps, commercial lamps, shooting, solving, dismantling, etc., but people are accustomed to using the term "lantern riddles".

As early as the Xia Dynasty, a ballad used hints to describe something appeared. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this ballad developed and evolved into "thin words", also known as "hidden words".

At that time, due to disputes among the countries, many tourists often used "hidden words" to express their views when they made suggestions, so that the king could be inspired by it.

Lantern riddles are riddles written on colorful lanterns. The riddles are derived from Chinese folk riddles. Later, they were processed by literati and became riddles. They have a long history in China.

It became a written creation during the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Three Kingdoms period, riddles were prevalent, and riddles appeared in the Song Dynasty. People tied riddles to colorful lanterns for people to guess.

So inadvertently, Guo Hao opened another new river. He read Chen Linyin's Journey to the West. The quality is pretty good. One book costs one tael of silver, but the cost is less than two cents. Even so, it is cheaper than the books on the market.

Because the difficulty of lantern riddles is not high, Guo Hao quickly came up with several methods after explaining to everyone. In the next day, he came up with dozens of them, which should be enough.

But it’s simple, but there is still a missing person. Guo Hao thought about it for a long time and rarely played this kind of game, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. He has played this kind of game in history.

Suddenly, Guo Hao thought of someone, or a TV series he watched when he was a child, which tells the story of the Qing Dynasty, and there was a talented man named Ji Xiaolan.

"Black is not, white is not, red is not, and red is not; it seems like foxes, wolfs, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild animals.

There are also poems, lyrics, and in the Analects of Confucius, which are vague about east, west, south and north. Although it is a short work, it is a wonderful article.

This couplet, with one word on the upper and lower couplets, you can get my poems if you guess correctly, and you can also become a guest of Juxian Pavilion.”

Everyone looked at each other after hearing his riddle. Chen Lin secretly asked Guo Hao, but Guo Hao smiled without saying a word and kept him in a silence.

...

Guo Hao's singing and dancing are peaceful, and there is a peaceful scene, while Kaifeng, to the north, has ushered in another historical turning point.

Since Guo Hao left, Khitan has been in frequent activities.
