Chapter 37: Poetry Eating Conference (4)
Fortunately, if the guests on the second floor don't want to go down, they can also hand the written puzzle to the little guy and let the host solve the problem on his behalf. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info, since you don't have to show up, not to mention the mysterious prizes, Moxianglou's one-year free reward is still very attractive.
The first question is from Li Juyi: one is tasteless, two is formless, three is colorless, and it is everywhere. Guess the ordinary.
She immediately summoned the servant and handed out the answer.
The answer was announced, and the five ten-point leaders all answered correctly, and most of the rest guessed that it was air. She exhaled, and fortunately, she almost wrote the answer to make oxygen, and in time to think that there was no oxygen in ancient times, and rewrote it as air. Because of the large number of correct answers, Li Juyi's ten points were taken away, but it was not superimposed on everyone, and everyone only got two points.
Li Juyi was robbed of ten points, but his face was full of smiles. It seems that Lord Kui has a large amount of money, and since he has already received a one-year exemption from Moxianglou, he will give away his own tenth.
The second question is from the second place Lu Huai: thousands of lines, ten thousand lines, falling into the water and invisible. It's also an ordinary thing.
Again, she immediately called the little servant in the door and handed out the answer.
The answer was announced, and sure enough, many people answered correctly. The mystery is rain.
She also smiled when she saw that Lu Huai, and she didn't regret that she was taken away. There was something strange about her. Lu Huai is only the second place, and he is so generous?
Soon the third question was taken by Ying Zheng on the stage and read: "Two forms are one, four limbs and eight heads, four eight one eight, flying springs flow upstream." Guess the ordinary. ā
Guessing ordinary things again? She originally thought that these three poetry experts would always have to come up with some word guessing questions.
Yingzheng is indeed much more difficult. Regardless of the side, just this "four limbs and eight heads", she was confused at first glance. But after thinking about it, I guessed an object, but I didn't say that I guessed an animal. If it's really an animal, she shook her head and smiled, laughing at herself and scaring herself.
When Chen Zhu'er saw her smile, she immediately said happily: "Sister Zhen'er, have you guessed it again? Tell me, what is the riddle?"
"Not yet. Do you have any clue?" she unabashedly said that she had no answer yet, and asked Chen Zhu'er.
Chen Zhu'er immediately frowned, and while thinking hard, she pursed her lips and said, "I can't think of it, it's too difficult." ā
Oh, yes. Eight heads on all fours, eight heads on all fours......
The limbs are easy to find, what tables, chairs, beds, basin shelves...... A lot of things are four legs, which count as limbs. But these eight heads, she really can't figure it out.
She didn't get into the horns of the bull, she couldn't guess this sentence, so she went to find the answer from the other three sentences. Most obviously, in this last sentence, it is clear that this thing has something to do with water. The first thing that flashed through her mind was the basin shelf.
The basin shelf has four feet that fit. When people wash their faces, they wash their faces, and the splashes of water splash also reflect the sentence "flying springs flow upstream". Looking at the other two sentences, does "two forms become one" mean that the basin is placed on the basin stand, and the two things are originally combined? As for the "four-eight-one-eight" word, is it an onomatopoeia? When people make a splash when they wash their faces, they will indeed make a sound similar to slapping and teasing the surface of the water. The problem is still with those eight heads.
Wait, maybe some basin shelves have eight feet at the top to replace the circle wood to hold the basin?
"Sister Zhen'er, did you guess?" Chen Zhu'er was puzzled by herself, and quickly gave up, observing her face at all times, and seeing her flash of inspiration, she immediately asked.
She wasn't quite sure, so she asked Chen Zhu'er, "Do you know that some basin shelves have eight feet instead of circle wood?"
"Basin shelf?" Chen Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was looking for something tall to match the puzzle, and she never thought that it was this mundane thing that she used every day.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhu'er also suddenly opened her mouth and said happily: "Yes." Some wealthy families would make furniture to order, and I did hear of craftsmen carving brackets in the shape of dragon heads, spitting beads, or auspicious clouds, instead of ordinary circle wood. As for how many are carved in a circle, most of them are three or four. But it's not impossible to carve eight. ā
can't say it, although Chen Zhu'er seconded it, she always feels that there is something else in the mystery. She didn't have any other clues, she just thought, Chongyang Kingdom is still different from the ancient times in her memory, anyone can use something in the shape of a dragon?
At this time, a gong and drum downstairs reminded that most of the incense stick had been gone within the time limit, and she couldn't let her think about it anymore. She suspiciously called the little servant and handed over the answer to the mystery that Chen Zhuer was sure of: the basin stand.
This time, she was looking forward to the moment when the mystery was revealed.
The answer was revealed, and this time there were only two people who got it right. The mystery is: the well.
"Ahh Speaking of which, this question is really related to word guessing, hey, she should have thought of it a long time ago.
"How is it a well?" Chen Zhu'er was still not blessed, and kept shouting.
She explained to Chen Zhu'er that the so-called "two forms in one, four limbs and eight heads" in the puzzle all describe the glyph itself, not the shape of the well. Ying Zheng's prompt is a little cautious, she only prompts to guess things, and there is nothing wrong with it, but she should prompt guessing words in this question. But also, if Yingzheng directly prompts to guess the word, the difficulty of this question will be greatly reduced, and it will be a lot less interesting.
She didn't guess right. The two who answered correctly were Jing Jing and the other was the other guest in the private room. The tenth of the Ying Zheng was divided equally between the two.
When I went to see the Yingzheng again, I didn't pity to see her, but stared at the second floor with bright eyes. It is worth noting that the first few questions are so simple, but Jing Jing did not give an answer, not that he couldn't guess, obviously he had no intention of participating. At this time, he answered Yingzheng's question, and he didn't blame Yingzheng for being so happy. Kind of a response, right?
"Crunch!" This time the venue was quiet, and everyone was still reminiscing about the question of Yingzheng. She clearly heard the door of the private room next door open.
After a while, Yingzheng who was sitting downstairs in Moxianglou specially entertained the first, second and third class banquets suddenly got up. After getting up, she still froze in place, following her eyes that turned into a little bit of water and finally turned into a little bit of water, Jing Jing was standing at the top of the stairs. Jing Jing obviously went downstairs to find Yingzheng. When they got closer, neither of them went any further, just looking at each other from a few tables.
She couldn't see Jing Jing's expression, but she was also satisfied when she saw Yingzheng's expression. It's a couple of lovers again, it's time to finally become a family, right? The infatuation in Yingzheng's eyes is heartwarming, and she can't help but help her pray. After a while, Yingzheng and Jing Jing finally narrowed the last distance between each other, and the two of them were side by side, and soon disappeared from her field of vision. She saw Yingzheng's last tears not dry, but the smile on her face was like a spring flower, and she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
The quiz isn't over yet.
Now it's the turn of the fourth questioner, that is, the guest officer on the second floor who just answered the tic-tac-toe puzzle correctly except Jing Jing, and the host also made the question on his behalf: "Mandarin ducks are both playing in the water, and butterflies are in love with flowers." I have thousands of tenderness, who can I be with in this life. Red beans were originally acacia, and they were planted in my heart in my previous life. Waiting for the fate to meet, enjoy spring, summer and autumn and winter. Guess the eight words. ā
This time, I don't want Chen Zhuer to solve the mystery in one sentence: "It's 'love for a long time'!"
She looked at Chen Zhu'er with some surprise. So fast? The other end had just finished speaking.
Chen Zhu'er sneered and said: "This question was guessed as early as the year before last, it is a lantern riddle." ā
