Chapter 37: Poetry Eating Conference (6)

As if he could read minds, the saint thoughtfully introduced: "This is your second brother," pointing to the domineering prince, "This is your third brother," pointing to the dark prince, and finally did not point to it, but said, "You always know your fourth brother, I heard that you met a while ago."

Although she was the daughter of a courtier, since the saint was so unintroduced, she called sweetly one by one, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother." "This stack of voices calls people, and it is natural to listen to the saint, and it is awkward to listen to the self-calling, and it is awkward to say it.

Only the third prince replied to her most cordially, "Sister Zhen'er." ”

The other two princes only nodded slightly. The fourth prince didn't say it, it was not difficult to see that the second prince couldn't see her ugly, and he showed his disgust on his face quite obviously.

The rumor "Jing Jing and the second prince are not clear" flashed in her mind in an instant. I'm afraid not to talk about Jing Jing, most of the second prince's love for Jing Jing is really face-looking. Gee!

There was no dissatisfaction on her face, but since the two of them didn't want to see her, she continued to smile and only look at the third prince. She was also a little curious, why didn't the eldest prince come?

The ranking of the princes and princesses of the royal family of Chongyang Kingdom is calculated separately, among which the queen is the longest regardless of her age, and then she is ranked according to her age. When the prince and the princess meet, in addition to the eldest son and eldest daughter of the emperor, the others will also be called brother and sister according to their age. The same is true for civilians.

Take the General's Mansion as an example, she is the only concubine, so she is the eldest lady. Above her age, she was ranked below her, with a son and a daughter from Erniang, and Chen Jiaoer as the second miss; two years later, Chen Yi was born, and then the other two aunts were named Chen Li and Chen Cai as the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master. These four people are actually older than her, and when they see her, they want to call her Miss. There are a total of six young ladies in the house, Chen Zhu'er is ranked as the fifth lady and there are two sisters, Chen Zhu'er is one year old and half a year old, and there is a sister who is the youngest child in the house, only eight years old;

Ask her to say that this intricate order is messy enough. But the customs of Chongyang Country are like this, and she can only follow the rules.

It's like the General's Mansion. In fact, the eldest prince born to the queen is the fourth child of the royal family according to his age. The eldest princess is indeed the first child in the royal family, not to mention, the eldest prince was born after the second prince and the third prince, and since then the two people who were originally named the eldest prince and the second prince have been demoted to the second prince and the third prince. As for the fourth prince, I heard that he is the same age as the eldest son of the emperor. She felt that all three of them were quite aggrieved.

"Zhen'er, I called you here to ask you, do you have any hints for this question?" the saint asked bluntly.

She was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was in a hurry to go to the toilet and hastily asked the question, and forgot to give a hint. This is indeed her negligence, and hurriedly replied: "Zhen'er is negligent, ......guess the answer to this problem" No, she came up with an arithmetic problem, and the whole problem is like this, there is no need to give any more hints, right?

She had no other choice, so she had to repeat the question: "There are three people who stay in a hotel overnight, and one person costs ten yuan a night, and three people pay a total of thirty yuan." The next day, the boss had a happy event at home, and wrapped a five-yuan red envelope for his younger brother to return to the three people, which was auspicious. Who knew that the younger brother was greedy, so he secretly kept two coins, and only returned three coins to three people, and one person got one money back. In this way, the three of them stayed for one night for nine yuan each, a total of twenty-seven yuan. plus the two coins stolen by his younger brother, a total of twenty-nine coins. But the three of them paid thirty dollars at first. Q: Where is the other money?"

After pondering for a long time, the saint had already memorized this question, nodded after listening to her repeat, and asked, "So, the riddle of this question is to guess where the one yuan returns?"

"Uh......" she opened her mouth, embarrassed.

She was a little cautious when she asked the question. The prize for this guessing contest is tempting, and the other four who got ten points first have already given away their ten points, so as long as she keeps her ten points, she is sure to win. Therefore, she was in a hurry and just came up with this typical concept question in her previous life. Anyway, no one should know the mystery in this life, so she cheekily regarded it as her own doing, and just wanted a steady victory.

The answer to this question is actually asking someone to point out that this is a mistake. The ancients were cautious, and the questioner should make sure that the answer is safe before asking the question. She just insisted that no one would suspect her of making a fuss about this. How can she give hints on this?

But the person who asked her to prompt was still the saint today. But after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with not giving hints for arithmetic problems, and the saint secretly found her, and he wanted to ask for additional hints alone, right? Maybe it doesn't matter whether she wins or loses, but she just can't wait to know the answer.

She gritted her teeth, and said with a clever smile: "Master, this is an arithmetic problem, and Zhen'er has no way to give a hint." If you want to know the answer, the time of a stick of incense is almost over, and I will solve my doubts. ”

"Huh. The saint smiled, and didn't mind, he really endured it.

At this moment, there was three knocks on the door. The knife matcher behind the saint went to open the door, and it was Jing Jing who came back with Yingzheng together. As soon as the two entered the house, they knelt directly on the ground, did not look up, and kowtowed in unison: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

There was something strange about her.

The saint was a little reproachful: "After saying that everything is simple when you go out this time, why don't you get up quickly?"

The two of them stood up, the master and servant were different, and the position of Jing Jing was not seen on the table, so they also stood beside the saint. At this time, the two looked up and saw that there was one more of her in the house, and after a closer look, she was still the fat lady who had a relationship with each other. Just as she also looked at the two, Jing Jing had no expression, Yingzheng grinned and nodded at her.

The saint said: "Have you listened to Zhen'er's question? There is still time for a small half pillar of incense, if the two of you answer, I will personally officiate for you in the future, and I will also give you the dowry and dowry." ”

Ahh The reason why Jing Jing and Yingzheng knelt when they entered the house was because the earlier congratulatory puzzle was made by the saint, which was not only a congratulation, but also a will, a marriage. Because the two of them had already gone out before the question was asked, they just found out, so they hurried back to receive the decree and thanksgiving.

Hearing what the saint said, the two naturally thanked her first, and then Yingzheng asked her, "Can you ask Miss Zhen'er to repeat the topic again?"

"Sister Zheng looks older than me, just call me Zhen'er. She liked Yingzheng and said affectionately, and then talked about the topic again.

After listening to the question, Yingzheng and Jing Jingju were stunned. Jing Jing looked at her carefully, the meaning in the cold phoenix eyes was unclear, but seeing him nodding at her, the corners of his mouth were almost imperceptibly slightly curved, and the subtle expression appeared on his face, and the whole person was much kinder, and it was very good-looking. Jing Jing smiled at her, and she was a little flattered. But at the same time, she chuckled in her heart, and lamented in her heart: it seemed that she was very unsafe.
