Chapter 175: Complete the Flower Riddle
Seeing that someone was the first to finish writing, the maid in Tsing Yi came over, and did not open the rice paper to look at it, but put it aside, and at the same time, the maid in blue who was observing the incense on the side said in a coquettish voice: "Fang Gongzi completed the flower riddle, and the time was one-tenth of the pillar of incense." ”
Hearing that Fang Ling thought about it so quickly, some people were surprised and some people were suspicious, Ling Xiaoran sneered, in his opinion, Fang Ling must have been lucky to guess the riddle before he came in, and he actually constructed the flower riddle so quickly, I am afraid that it was for luck, thinking that others would not be able to guess it if he wrote it "randomly", but when he finally revealed the riddle, he must have to write out the construction method by himself, if the construction method is not right, then it is not a real flower riddle, and it will naturally be a failure.
So Ling Xiaoran didn't take this little businessman's child in his eyes, and thought about it for a while, and only when he was three tenths of a pillar of incense did he construct the flower riddle, and at the same time, Duan Zixuan also constructed the flower riddle.
With the passage of time, some people began to hand in the flower riddle, two maids one to collect the volume, one to write down the time, until fifteen people handed over, a pillar of incense only seven tenths.
The two maids in Tsing Yi lit two sticks of incense and said to everyone: "Next, the two slaves and maids will solve the riddle for the sons." ”
After that, one person picked up a roll of rice paper and spread it flat in front of the table, and through the back of the rice paper, everyone could clearly distinguish the words written on it, and they all silently thought about the answer to the riddle.
The first two flower riddles to read were naturally the last two scholars to hand in the volume, and it took seven-tenths of a pillar of incense to construct and complete, however, the two girls carefully interpreted for a while, and then told the riddle, as soon as the mystery was said, the faces of the two scholars changed completely, and for a while they were a little embarrassed, because the other party only spent three-tenths of the time of the incense.
Although this riddle was thought up in a hurry, but it was also a proud work of painstaking effort, and the two scholars even thought that this riddle could be very amazing, but the result was like this, the two of them sighed in unison, and were even more embarrassed to stay here, and left the tower in a hurry.
One by one, the rice paper was opened, and one by one the mysteries were revealed, and the two maids showed amazing cracking ability, which surprised everyone present, even Fang Ling, couldn't help but praise secretly.
To learn knowledge, we must first keep it in mind, and the second and most important thing is to use it reasonably. What is needed to solve the riddle is the rational use of all kinds of knowledge, and if it is not for quick thinking, it will definitely not be able to solve the riddle constructed by everyone racking their brains in a short period of time.
As a leader, most of the scholars are arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and they have always looked down on others, but they would have expected that they would fall in front of the two maids, and they couldn't raise their heads like defeated roosters, and they were ashamed.
However, although the two maids are quite talented in solving puzzles, they are still inferior in talent in the face of children of prestigious families like Ling Xiaoran and Duan Zixuan, so they did not solve it in a limited time, so that the two won smoothly.
After the two won, they told the answer to the riddle and the method of making the riddle in front of everyone, and they talked eloquently, quite smug.
In addition to Ling Xiaoran and the others, there were two other talents who also won, and there were four people in total.
And in the end, it was Fang Ling's turn, after the maid in green clothes opened the rice paper, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the maid in blue saw her strange expression, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that what was written on the rice paper turned out to be the same thing as a smooth mouth: planted sesame seeds, long peach trees, open peonies, and olives.
Seeing the words written on it through the back of the paper, Ling Xiaoran and the others all shook their heads, their faces disdainful.
You know, the difficult flower riddle is to hide the characteristics of the flower, or simply give up the features, and use the name of the flower to construct the riddle, and in order to make the riddle good-looking, the talents are racking their brains, even if it is not in the form of poetry, then it is also an extremely good-looking paragraph.
However, this riddle of Fang Ling can only be described as simple as possible, without using any riddles, but in the form of a nursery rhyme to write the characteristics of the flower into a sentence, it is also very easy to decipher, the seeds of this plant are as small as sesame seeds, and the tree that grows after planting is very similar to a peach tree, and the words that bloom are like peonies, and the fruits that bear are like olives.
It's just that after everyone deciphers this mystery, they can't help but be stunned, the characteristics of this flower are there, but where is this kind of thing in the world?
The seeds are like sesame seeds, the trees are like peach trees, the flowers are like peonies, and the fruits are like olives.
The second daughter frowned slightly, and thought about it seriously, after all, Fang Ling's time was only two-tenths of a pillar of incense.
Ling Xiaoran thought for a while, didn't have any clue, then folded his arms and sneered: "I want to see what this mystery is, it's really strange that there can be flowers that look like this." ”
Duan Zixuan laughed and said: "Brother Ling, you really exalt him, he just made up 'chaos', thinking that he could get through the tricks, how capable can a child of a small businessman be? ”
Although the other two scholars were not as arrogant as Ling Xiaoran and the others, they were not very optimistic about this mystery, and they thought about all the familiar flowers in their heads, but none of them were suitable.
A few people think they are knowledgeable, and in order to meet Miss Shangmo, they naturally work on flowers, if they can't even think of it, it must be something written nonsense.
When the incense was two-tenths of the way, the second daughter still didn't come up with it, so the maid in Tsing Yi asked: "The time has come, the slave and maid lost, and I ask the son to solve the mystery for us." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "This mystery is the impatiens. ”
As soon as he heard this riddle, Duan Zixuan burst out laughing, and said arrogantly: "Young Master Fang, are you all fools when we are?" Young Master Ben is familiar with the flower spectrum, but he has never heard of any impatiens. "The starters
Although Ling Xiaoran didn't speak, the mockery on his face was full of ridicule, and he looked at the joke with his hands.
Fang Ling was neither angry nor impatient, and said calmly: "If I guessed correctly, the flower book that Duan Gongzi read is the one written by Zhu Fangzheng, a scholar of the previous dynasty?"
"So what?" Duan Zixuan said coldly.
Fang Ling smiled lightly: "Then Duan Gongzi doesn't know that impatiens are of course, this product is produced in the deep mountains of the border between our country and Yueguo, planted like sesame, long like a peach tree, blooming like a peony, the result is like an olive, the local people because of its "color" changeable, the flowers are mashed and smeared on the nails, and the nails can be dyed into various colors, which is quite popular, but it is not known to the Chinese people. Many years ago, when the dynasty scholar Jia brought this impatiens to the palace, deeply liked by the concubines, so it was included in the list of tributes, planted and cultivated in the palace, although there has been development in recent years, but the number is not much, few people know, of course, it will not be recorded in the flower spectrum of the previous dynasty. "Fastest update on PC:/
As soon as Fang Ling said this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize that the flower scores that everyone read were indeed the versions of the previous dynasty, and there was no new flower spectrum promulgated in this dynasty, so it was really natural to not know. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)
Duan Zixuan couldn't pull his face, and snorted heavily: "You said that there is, but the ghost knows if you made up the story yourself?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly, arched his hand towards the sky, and said, "This matter involves the royal family, and making a bad statement can attract the disaster of the Nine Clans, doesn't Duan Gongzi think that I will take such a big risk to make up a story to sensationalize?"
Duan Zixuan was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he had to give up.
Everyone also felt that what Fang Ling said was not unreasonable, but Ling Xiaoran sneered on the side: "Young Master Fang is really good at tricks, it is really clever to set up a mystery with this new flower species that no one knows." ”
"Passing the award, compared to Ling Gongzi's riddle, it is far behind. Fang Ling replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
At this time, the maid in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "The matter of the impatiens really made the slave and maid grow up, so Fang Gongzi also successfully passed the test, please let the five sons who passed the test move to the second floor with the two slaves and maids." ”
Everyone followed the two maids in Tsing Yi to the upper floor, and there were five tables and chairs on the second floor, and on the table were not the four treasures of the study, but a pair of Tang chess.
Tang chess, originated from the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, the Tang Dynasty is a country that has rarely unified the earth in the history of the earth, prosperous and prosperous, deterring the Quartet, in order to remember the merits, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty invited the cabinet scholars to discuss, and finally invented a chess method, that is, the name Tang Qi.
Tang chess is divided into red and white on the board, with the log as the chess piece, and the general, phase, rook, horse, cannon, etc. as the chess name.
Because the Tang chess game is changeable, it quickly became popular in the land, even though the Tang Dynasty declined, perished, and fell apart in the end, this Tang chess has been passed down forever with the glory of the Tang Kingdom, and has become a must-learn thing for students of all generations in addition to the classics.
Chu is also extremely popular Tang chess, whether it is the common people or dignitaries, they all like to play chess, taste tea and talk about Taoism, scholars and students naturally attach great importance to Tang chess, whether it is a private school, there are special Tang chess lessons.
Seeing this Tang chess, Fang Ling felt something, his Tang chess was taught by his mother, at that time, the two were still living in the cold palace, cold and desolate day and night, no one cared about it, and after reading the classics, it was with his mother, and it was a pastime.
After the five of them were seated, the maid in Tsing Yi took out a bamboo tube and said with a smile: "The second level is for the five young ladies to play chess, and please draw lots before the chess." ”
Ling Xiaoran was the first to draw lots, and when he opened it, his brows couldn't help frowning, and then he thought deeply.
Seeing Ling Xiaoran's expression, the other people were suspicious, and when they drew lots one by one, their faces became slightly solemn, and Fang Ling was the last to draw lots, only to see four words written on the lots: Seven Stars Gathering.
He immediately understood the reason why everyone was so cautious, it seemed that Miss Mo wanted to have an endgame with everyone.
