Chapter 333: Lantern Riddle Conference (3)_1
It took a great deal of effort for him to shift his affectionate gaze away from her and to greet Mu Zhongqing.
When Mu Zhongqing saw him, he was initially taken aback, then he broke into a radiant laugh and started talking with him.
Huo Yuan desired to make the beautiful woman his own, and naturally he had to establish a good relationship with his future father-in-law. He had traveled extensively and was good at socializing. Thus, when he chatted with Mu Zhongqing, he deliberately chose topics that Mu Zhongqing enjoyed, making their conversation very enjoyable!
While they were talking, a sudden shout from Cai Wei startled them: "I’ve got it!"
Her loud shout startled them, and Mu Zhongqing reprimanded, "Wei’er, it’s rude to yell! Didn’t you notice Young Master Huo is still here? You must learn to behave properly."
Huo Yuan said with a smile, "No worries, Wei’er must have thought of something that she was struggling to figure out."
Cai Wei nodded and said, "Exactly, I just figured out the answer to the lantern riddle!"
Mu Zhongqing asked incredulously, "How did you come up with it? What is the answer? Quickly tell me, my girl."
The crowd around who were also trying to solve the riddle overheard Cai Wei and gathered eagerly to listen.
They clamored, "Miss, please share with us so we can learn too!"
Cai Wei smiled and explained, "The riddle uses single button glyphs. Embed the ’one’ character inside the ’west’ character to form the character ’yǒu’; the character ’water’ is ingeniously inserted into the middle of the ’chuan’ character to form ’zhou’. Combine ’yǒu’ and ’zhou’, and the answer emerges: ’chou’."
