Chapter 23: Guess the lantern riddle
"Please invite No. 1 Wang Xiaohong to come to the stage to guess the riddle!" A woman who looked five big and three thick came to the stage and gestured to the people in the audience.
"Wang Xiaohong, are you ready?" The host on stage asked.
"Ready!" Wang Xiaohong said in a rough voice, listening to the voice really like a man.
"Okay, please choose the lantern on the first floor!" The little guy on the side took out a bamboo pole and stood next to it, ready to pick up the lantern.
"Just pick that puppy!" Wang Xiaohong pointed to the puppy lantern in the middle of the first layer and said.
The little guy picked it up with a bamboo pole, and the lantern was brought over. The host took out the note in the lantern and read: "This is an anagram, the rising sun rises into the sky, type a word, Wang Xiaohong, please answer." β
Wang Xiaohong thought for a moment, "It's nine." β
"Congratulations! Please choose the lantern on the second floor. The host said.
"The lotus lantern in the middle." Wang Xiaohong said.
"This time it's an animal mystery, a hibiscus blooms on its head, and the colorful clothes don't need to be cut with scissors. Hit an animal. Please answer. β
"Rooster." Wang Xiaohong replied.
"Anagram, in order to protect the rice grain, the walls were put on both sides, and the water reached the root of the wall, and the rice grain was not damaged. Typing. β
"This" Wang Xiaohong thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with what kind of word it was, she didn't know a few big words, and guessed the previous one just from life experience. It's really no longer a problem now, Wang Xiaohong admits defeat, "I can't guess this." β
"It's a shame that this is the end of your level, you've done two levels so far, and your prize is a washboard! Applause encouragement! The people below applauded cooperatively. Wang Xiaohong took the washboard and got off the stage.
"Do any of you know what the mystery is?" The moderator asked.
"It's the word Yuan." A hearty voice stands out from the jumble of voices. When everyone heard the sound, they saw that it was a handsome scholar, dressed in a navy blue robe that was slightly white, but it did not affect the scholar's extraordinary spirit.
"This son answered correctly, the riddle is the word Yuan, but there is no reward for answering correctly!" The host quipped. "Alright, let's move on to the riddle!"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the scholar and blushed, and the maid Yaqin noticed the change in the young lady and quipped: "Didn't the young lady fall in love with the scholar?" β
"Go, you girl doesn't have a door to talk to, be careful that I tear your mouth!" Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be told what was on her mind, and pretended to be angry and scolded, the master and servant were fighting, and soon it was Shangguan Wan'er's turn
"Next, No. 15 Guan Bohan came to power." A stout man came to the stage.
"Listen to the anagram, two young children went to chop wood, but they couldn't cut it because they didn't have the strength, and they hid in the mountains and couldn't come out when they came home for fear of people's jokes. Type a word, please answer. β
"Well, two young children go to chop wood, they can't cut it if they don't have the strength, and they are afraid of people's jokes when they go home, and they hide in the mountains and don't come out, this is a ghost!" The man thought for a moment and said happily.
"Congratulations on your answer, please listen to the next riddle, this is an animal riddle, with a black belly and a long white tail, and a silver-white collar around the neck. Hit an animal, please answer. β
"I don't know." The man looked at the host and shook his head.
"It's a pity that you only made it through one level, and your prize is an embroidery needle! Congratulations! The host said. Next, No. 16 Shangguan Wan'er! β
"Miss, it's your turn, come on!" Yaqin said excitedly. "Well, I will."
As soon as Shangguan Wan'er stepped onto the stage, there was a burst of inhalation, "Beauty! "It's so beautiful!" "Look at this dress, I don't know it's the young lady of that family."
That scholar was no exception, looking at Shangguan Wan'er out of his mind, and muttered to himself: "There is a way that clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate, is such a wonderful person not a fairy descending to earth?" β
"Miss Shangguan is really a beautiful woman, I am reluctant to be admitted to Miss Shangguan, but I can't disobey the above meaning, Miss Shangguan, please pick a lantern!" The host said excitedly.
"Just the pink lotus lantern." Shangguan Wan'er pointed at the green jade, and the endocrine of the man present soared.
The host took the lantern, took out the note inside, and smiled, "Miss Shangguan's appearance is unparalleled, I wonder if Miss Shangguan's talent is also amazing?" Let's wait and see! The one chosen by the Shangguan girl is an anagram, month after month, and half of the two months; There are arable fields on the top, and flowing rivers below; There are six members in the family, and two of them are not reunited. Type a word, please answer. β
"The mystery is used." Shangguan Wan'er said confidently.
"Congratulations to Miss Shangguan for answering correctly, please pick the next lantern."
"King Yama goes to hell, play an idiom, please answer!"
"The mystery is to die as you deserve." Shangguan Wan'er easily answered the riddle.
After several levels in a row, Shangguan Wan'er became the first player to enter the semi-finals, "Shangguan girl is not only beautiful, but also not inferior to men, so I admire her." Let's congratulate Miss Shangguan on being the first to successfully advance to the semi-finals! β
The applause below was thunderous, enduring, and a woman with both talents and appearances was really rare, and it was the name of the above official Wan'er that was a sensation and a household name.
After a while, the other three were born, and Shangguan Wan'er looked at it, wasn't one of them the handsome scholar?
"The top four are finally born, who will compete in the end? Let's wait and see! The host said excitedly. Now ask the four contestants to stand behind the table, and I'll do the puzzle, and you write the answer on paper. Show them one by one, and see who persists to the end, who is the owner of this Taohe inkstone! β
After the four of them stood at the table, the host took out a note and read: "Eight horizontal and nine straight stones, adding up to three straight." Typing. β
After hearing this, everyone put down their pens, and after a while, they wrote down their answers, "Let's see if your answers are correct?" β
The four of them picked up the written answers, and a big η (chΓΉ) character appeared on the white rice paper, "Congratulations on your correct answers, please listen to the next question, Nezha does not make trouble in the sea, Wu Song is not good." Hit an idiom! β
This time, Shangguan Wan'er and the scholar finished writing first, and waited for the other two to finish writing a bright answer "living dragons and tigers".
"Congratulations on getting it right, please listen to the next question, this is to the fun question, a steamed bun is walking on the road, he is hungry, he goes to eat, and then what becomes?"
Shangguan Wan'er smiled after hearing this, and wrote the paper: Baozi. The scholar also wrote the answer after thinking about it, and the other two couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, so they had no choice but to abstain.
