The more Ye Xiyan and Qin Ruyu chatted, the more speculative they became, and the more they liked each other, Qin Yiran kept looking at them with a smile and didn't talk much, but no one could ignore his existence, who called him too handsome, Ye Xiyan occasionally looked up, and could always see his gentle and smiling gaze, so he hurriedly avoided his gaze, and took a sip of the teacup uncomfortably.

I don't know how long it took, the originally noisy lobby suddenly quieted down, and the person at the next table whispered, "Boss Gongsun is here!" ”

Ye Xiyan and Qin Ruyu also stopped chatting, and looked up at the stairs, where a beautiful woman slowly walked down from the second floor, she was wearing a light blue brocade dress, with a piece of mutton fat jade hanging around her waist, her hair bun was pulled up obliquely, and only a plum blossom hosta was inserted, and her outfit was simple and chic.

Gongsun Yu bowed to everyone, and laughed loudly, "Little girl Gongsun Yu thank you for your support." According to the old rules, today's test is divided into four levels. They are Q&A, anagrams, poems, and songs. I don't know what you think? ”

The literati and writers present nodded in agreement, Ye Xiyan was also interested, Qin Yiran nodded with a smile, and his handsome face was a little appreciative.

Gongsun Yu said with a smile, "Now let's start the first level, please listen carefully." Once upon a time, there was a distant country where a group of prisoners were about to be executed. The emperors and ministers of that country often played murder games. Because there were too many people killed, this time the emperor wanted to kill these prisoners in a different way.

One of the ministers suggested that they should be allowed to choose a way to die, that is, let the prisoners say a word at will—if they say the truth, they will be hanged; If you say a lie, cut off your head.

The Emperor thought this suggestion was too amusementous and took the minister's advice. As a result, the prisoners were either hanged for telling the truth or beheaded for telling lies; or because he said something that could not be immediately verified as true or false, he was seen as telling a lie and was beheaded; Or they were hanged because they couldn't speak and were treated as telling the truth.

The Emperor was very happy to see the prisoners being executed one by one. Among the prisoners, there was a very clever man named Menla, who was very dissatisfied when he saw the emperor so bored with killing people for fun. So I thought about what method I could use to break the emperor's boredom and fight for the right to live. When it was his turn to make a choice, he said something so that the emperor could neither behead him nor hang him, and the ministers had no choice but to let him go. What did Menla say? For the sake of fairness, please write down your answers on a piece of paper with a pen and paper and sign your name and give it to the maid on the side. ”

The four maids stood in different positions, waiting for them to hand in their papers.

Ye Xiyan noticed that the other guests were all carrying the four treasures of the study, and it seemed that they all knew the rules of the Dao, so they only had nothing for themselves, and they couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Qin Yiran saw her embarrassment in his eyes, and glanced at the servant standing aside, who immediately went out, and after only a moment's effort, he held the four treasures of the study, put them in front of Ye Xiyan, and said in a low voice, "Miss Ye, this is what my son-in-law prepared for you." ”

Ye Xiyan smiled gratefully at Qin Yiran, "Thank you." ”

Qin Yiran smiled slightly, "You're welcome." ”

Looking around, some people have a look of confidence when they put pen to paper, while others hold the pen stagnantly, full of sadness.

Qin Ruyu also frowned, thinking about the answer, only Qin Yiran still smiled faintly, looking at the pen and ink on the table and not acting. Ye Xiyan leaned over and asked, "What's the matter, Gongzi Qin, do you have an answer?" ”

He chuckled lowly, "Isn't Miss Ye going to break through?" Why do you ask me? ”

She pouted, stingy, do you think I don't know the answer, I have done too much of this kind of intelligence question! She glared at him as she glare at him, holding her pen and wondering how to convert simplified to traditional.

After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed resignedly, looked up at Qin Ruyu, and said pitifully, "Ruyu, I can't write, can you help me write down the answer." ”

Qin Ruyu's eyes widened in surprise, even Qin Yiran raised her eyebrows, the second lady of the richest Ye family can't write? It's also astonishing.

Ye Xiyan coughed and said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not that I can't write, it's just that my words are too ugly to be ashamed." ”

"Oh, I see, it's okay, I'll write it for you." Qin Ruyu very considerately took her paper in front of her, attached her ear to her, and said in a low voice, "Xiyan, what is the answer, tell me." ”
