Chapter 347: Lantern Festival (2)
In order to take the lead, Shen Feng didn't want to shout: "My young lady has an answer!" Anyway, no points will be deducted for answering wrongly, rushing to answer is the key, it's a big deal to lose some face if you answer wrong, it's no big deal.
Just as he was about to speak, the senior monk next to Song Xingling said: "Amitofu, this benefactor, your young lady's expression is still thinking, but you said that you have an answer, is it a little frivolous." This sentence seems fair, but in fact it is for Song Xingling, everyone here knows that the senior monk was brought by Song Xingling.
I didn't expect this old bald donkey's eyesight to be good, but Shen Feng's skillful and eloquent ability is not a blow, and he smiled: "My young lady does have an answer, but she hesitates to say it or not." β
Miss Xia turned her head to look at him, because there were a few people between the two, it was night at this time, and he was sticking to a fake beard, so he didn't recognize him for a while, but he just heard that there seemed to be something in his words, so he said, "If you have the answer, you might as well say it." β
It seems that Xia Cainu doesn't like handsome men to win, Shen Feng pondered the meaning of her words, and said with a smile: "My young lady's answer is - the furnace is out of flames, so be sure to keep the horse firmly bolted." β
As soon as these words came out, Xia Cainu suddenly burst out laughing, and the monk thought about it carefully, and knew that he had been insulted by him, and his beard was so angry that his beard was crooked: "You actually spoke evil words and insulted this monk!." β
Let you be embarrassed, don't scold you and scold anyone, Shen Fengle said: "Tell me, how I insulted you?"
The monk was angry for a while and said, "You-"
The ceremonial officer asked, "Is this your young lady's answer?"
Shen Feng nodded and said, "Not bad!"
The ceremonial officer said expressionlessly: "This is not the correct solution, others can have an answer." β
Day, this ceremonial official was also thinking about Brother Jun, Lao Tzu answered so wonderfully, he actually opened his eyes and said nonsense, it's okay, let Brother Jun answer in this game, Shen Feng said unhurriedly: "Oh, the answer is wrong, then the others guess." He deliberately said this to Song Xingling, if he didn't answer, he would fall behind by one question, but if he answered, he would lose some face in front of Xia Yanran.
Brother Jun's expression was faintly unhappy, but he still maintained an elegant and humble posture and said: "Since this is the case, the order is not welcome, the mystery is bald." β
Shen Feng immediately applauded vigorously and sighed: "The answer is correct, it turns out that the riddle is the bald donkey's baldness, but my young lady's answer is the bald donkey's donkey, what a pity!
Everyone instantly understood, it turned out that he had already guessed that the riddle was bald, but he deliberately had a lower link, which was also a mystery, the mystery was a donkey, which added up to just a bald donkey, which not only seemed to be quick-witted, but also indirectly satirized the monk, just this answer, it was above everyone.
Miss Tang reacted, and laughed heartlessly: "Haha, it's funny, it's so funny-"
The monk's face was pale, and he recited Amitabha Buddha a few times before calming down, Lin Kelan also smiled helplessly, he couldn't change his temperament anywhere, if he wanted him not to cause trouble everywhere, he could only pray that others would not provoke him.
The ceremonial officer deliberately favored Brother Jun just now, but his statement was also irrefutable, and he continued to read: "The third riddle was answered by Song Gongzi, and then the fourth riddle was answered: the blue peach and dew seed in the sky, the red apricot on the sun side leaned on the clouds, guess the name of a flower"
Brother Jun still maintained the demeanor of a gentleman, and said to Xia Yanran: "Miss Xia, you invite first,"
Here, Miss Tang was not to be outdone, as if she had entered an atmosphere of competition, she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and asked, "Shen Feng, what about this time, what to guess this time, let me shout once." β
Shen Feng smiled and groaned: "We won't answer this time, since he wants to play with demeanor, let's cooperate with him and let Xia Cainu answer first." β
Miss Tang's eyes showed a suspicious look, and she snorted lightly: "Did you fall in love with Miss Xia, so you deliberately asked her to answer." β
This little girl is so jealous, Shen Feng laughed and said: "Miss Xia hasn't taken a fancy to it yet, but she has already taken a fancy to a girl surnamed Tang." β
Miss Tang blushed and said, "Who is the girl surnamed Tang, it's not me anyway-okay, let's just let her have a question first, but the next question must be answered." β
"Soaring Flowers"
Here, Xia Cainu has already answered the riddle, and the other people are not as quick as the talents of several people, so they can only stand aside and stare dryly.
The ceremonial officer said: "Xia Cainu won another game, and the next fifth mystery is: the four brothers have a child, and they have been separated since birth. β
As soon as the fifth mystery came out, everyone was silent, everyone was in thought, even Xia Cainu was no exception, Miss Tang saw that everyone was silent, only the villain next to her smiled treacherously, so she asked in a low voice: "Bad guy, did you guess it?"
Shen Feng laughed, and then Lin Kelan said a word, and Lin Kelan was puzzled after hearing it: "How can it be this mystery?"
Shen Feng is leisurely, not afraid of others to answer first: "This riddle is actually a process of making tiles, in the past, our village was to make tiles by themselves, and the tiles were a cylinder at the beginning, and after the soil was dry, the cylinder was divided into four pieces, that is, tiles, after drying, enter the third step, put the dried tiles into the cave and burn them into tiles, which can be used to build houses, the cave is a metaphor for the fire in the building, and the last sentence is also a metaphor, the people pass each tile up to the roof when building the house. β
Miss Tang showed a sudden smile and said, "How do you know, have you built a house before?"
Shen Feng nodded and said: "These rural areas can be seen, if you look at some ordinary people in the back, it is estimated that some of them have already guessed it." "As long as it is a person who has made a tile, he can guess it, but most of these people who guess the riddle are students who are powerless, where will they make tiles, as for Song Xingling and Xia Yanran, they are of noble birth, let alone tiles.
Miss Tang hurriedly raised her hand and shouted, "Here-here--our young lady has the answer, and the answer is tile." She learned from Shen Feng to call Lin Kelan Miss, which means that the two of them are just Lin Kelan's maids and housekeepers.
The ceremonial officer glanced at Brother Jun and said loudly: "The mystery is the tile!"
The surrounding crowd was immediately surprised, and they were all curious about where this Miss Lin family was, and she could even be equal to Xia Cainu, Song Xingling looked puzzled, he had been paying attention to Shen Feng's side just now, and found that the person who guessed was not the so-called Miss Lin family, but he guessed it, and the ordinary boy and his young lady looked intimate, not like a subordinate at all.
The ceremonial officer continued: "The last lantern riddle: the drizzle is as good as silk, and it is timely, and it is a title." "This lantern riddle is much simpler than the previous ones, I don't know if the etiquette official intentionally asked Brother Jun to answer it, because now Xia Cainu and Shen Feng each answered two questions, only he is still one question, if you want to enter the last round, you can only answer one more question.
Miss Tang thought for a moment and whispered: "This topic is so simple, even I know it, isn't it just under and small." β
Shen Feng said with a smile: "That official is deliberately partial, so let him answer this question." β
Lin Kelan laughed in her heart, the answer to this puzzle is in Xia and Xiao, and the person who answers it may not be happy, this guy is really bad, and he deliberately left a coptis for others to eat.
Sure enough, Brother Jun's face turned cold and he snorted, but he still said the answer.
The first round of the final link was only Xia Cainu, Song Gongzi and Lin Kelan were promoted, and then the emperor himself came up with the puzzle, a few people waited for a while, and then saw the emperor standing on the Qiuxian platform and inspecting for a while, until his eyes stayed on an old man, and then turned to whisper a few words to a civil official next to him.
After the ear mentioned the face, the civil official walked down to ask Sendai, and everyone knew that he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites came to several people, and said loudly: "The saint of Fang Cai made a temporary idea and came up with an interesting puzzle, this puzzle is a little different, it is to say the answer to the puzzle first and then let the two of you have their own riddles, and these two riddles must be connected up and down, and the battle is neat.
Everyone was in an uproar, the question that the emperor personally came up with was really difficult and interesting, Song Xingling took a step forward and said humbly and politely: "Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, what kind of puzzle did the saint come up with this time?"
Lord Shangshu shook his head and smiled: "The saint refuses to say it, and I can't say it, the saint only said one sentence: A hundred years of wind and rain are different, who is the same age as the country tonight." β
Xia Cainu smiled and said: "The little woman dares to speculate about the will of heaven, but the Holy One asked us to find an old man of the same age as Dahua from the surroundings, and then make a New Year's couplet with the old man's age." β
Lord Shang Shu showed a gentle smile, and said with sincerity: "Xia Cainu is really talented and quick-witted, and she can know the emperor's thoughts in an instant. β
Xia Cainu Rulan smiled and said, "The little woman is just guessing wildly. β
"It turns out that the mystery is an age, Shen Feng-" Miss Tang secretly listened to what was said over there like a little spy, and then turned her head back to look, but there was no longer his figure around, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Lin, what about the others?"
"He just asked me how many years after the founding of Dahua, and he said that he was looking for someone in the crowd behind-" Lin Kelan turned around to look for that person, and saw that he had already returned, and he was still holding an old woman who was stumbling in his hand: "Look, he's back." β
At this time, Xia Cainu was also quietly paying attention to this side, and seeing that he had found an old man at some point, a smile suddenly flashed in her starry eyes, and she looked at him with interest.
"Grandma, slow down, you're the protagonist of tonight. Shen Feng carefully supported the old man, and after coming to the two women, he asked, "Has anyone answered?"
"No one has answeredβ" Miss Tang said with a puzzled face, "What are you going to do? Why did you bring the old lady?"
Shen Feng helped the old lady forward and said with a smile: "Of course I'm looking for the answer to the mystery, come, grandma, tell Master Shangshu how old you are this year." β
