Lin Fu reported, after listening to the troublesome things that came in front of him, the people at this table in the elegant room were energetic, and today is the Lantern Festival, and it is enjoyable to have a lantern and a mystery, Liu Jiong made a joke, Xue Rui simply asked Lin Fu to fetch more than a dozen lanterns and write a question for him.

Liu Jiong is not a fool, he can see that the person who came to make trouble here has two brushes, it doesn't matter if he makes a question, he can't get a hard time when he asks a question, that is a loss of face, so he thinks of a way to pull this table of people into the water, and he doesn't lose face alone:

"What's the point of me writing the question alone, it's better like this, let's take a question and send it to the front, just to see who can control the field, how?"

The rest of the people had itchy hands and responded one after another, especially Feng Zhaomiao, who screamed the loudest, urging his subordinates to prepare paper and pencils, but there was only one different voice:

"It's not fun just like this, it's better for us to gamble on the lottery, win or lose to be interesting."

A group of men and women turned their heads to look at the county lord of Xiwen who was speaking, and asked, "What color head?"

Xi Wen tapped her fingers on her rounded chin, swept around the table, and said with a smile: "If anyone's riddle is answered by the person in front, it is a loss, if it stumps the person in front, it is a win, and the person who wins can choose one at any point at this table, if you want this person to do something, no matter what it is, you must agree."

Xie Miaoyun clapped her hands and agreed: "This is interesting."

Yu Shu's eyelids jumped, and for some reason, she always felt that these two girls were targeting her.

Everyone looked at each other, and moved their eyes to the Nine Emperor Princes and Xue Rui to see what they both thought.

The Nine Emperors said: "There is nothing else, only one, don't go too far."

Xue Rui nodded and said, "No matter if you win or lose, don't hurt your feelings."

Facing the advice of the two brothers, Xi Wen said obediently: "Brother Ninth Brother Rui, don't worry, we are measured."

Only then did people vacate the wine and food on the table, take the lanterns and pen and ink, Feng Zhaomiao couldn't wait, grabbed one first and wrote it Yu Shu looked sideways, and saw him write:

'A finch, fly to the table, pinch its tail, jump down the river—hit something. ,

After thinking about it, Yu Shu smiled, this is too simple, it's a spoon.

Feng Zhaomiao turned her head to see her, so she asked, "Guess?"

"I don't know what to do." Yu Shu shook her head and pretended to be stupid, not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, she turned her head to look at the young lady beside her, the one who was with Qi Mingxiu.

Only a few words were simply written on the lantern: 'Qi Liang Jiangshan - a person's name,.

This Yu Shu doesn't know, her historical studies are poor, she knows that she is a Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and she can't remember what period Qi Liang is, let alone guess people.

This young lady writes beautifully, this square hole bamboo colorful lantern is originally beautiful, and then lined with a good hand, a little wax and gold shine are more exquisite.

Xue Rui wrote a riddle, looked up at Yu Shudong, and asked her, "Why don't you write it?"

Yu Shu said embarrassedly: "My handwriting is unbearable, and this lantern is broken."

Xue Rui smiled slightly and hooked his hand at her: "Come and I'll help you write."

Yu Shu left his seat and came to him, took a lantern from Xiao Qing's hand and handed it to him.

Xue Rui dipped his pen in ink, turned his head sideways and asked, "What do you write?"

Yu Shu thought about it, bent down slightly, and said softly: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ninety—type."

Xue Rui raised his pen and paused, then wrote vertically on the lantern, and he was stunned by a single line.

"What should I do with this mystery?" Yu Shu asked, "Do you want to write it on the lantern too?"

Xue Rui lifted the lantern upside down and pointed to a groove at the lower end to show her: "Write it down on a piece of paper and hide it here, and then compare it after solving the problem."

Yu Shu looked at the hole, touched his chin, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and smiled at him: "I wrote the mystery myself."

Xue Rui gave her the lantern, Yu Shu took it to the small table on the side, tore the note and wrote the riddle, turned his head and beckoned to Lin Fu, called him over, covered his mouth and whispered a few words before handing over the lantern

At this time, everyone agreed to the question, Yu Shu's lantern was the most powerful and sent out, she returned to her seat, and listened to the opposite side ask:

"What did you write in Lianfang?"

Yu Shu looked up and saw that it was the county lord of Xiwen who asked, and said, "An anagram."

"Let's take a guess."

Yu Shu said honestly: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ninety."

When the people at the table heard it, they all guessed, and after a while, Xie Miaoyun smiled first, "It's a 'mouth, a word, right?'"

Feng Zhaomiao couldn't guess, so he asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

"It's so stupid," Xi Wenjiao said: "Aren't these numbers only missing eight, only eight missing, isn't it just the word 'mouth'."

Feng Zhaomiao suddenly realized, the rest of the people nodded one after another, Xi Wen held her chin with both hands, and said to Yu Shu regretfully: "It's too easy for you to come out of this, you have to lose, and you may be punished later."

Yu Shu smiled noncommittally: "If you lose, you lose."

Xi Wen ignored her anymore, turned her head and asked what others had written, and after asking around, except for Xue Rui, the Nine Emperor Princes, and her, the rest were broken by the people on the table, and even Feng Zhaomiao's "spoon" was guessed, which made him very depressed.

The lanterns were sent over there, and there was no news for a while, so they chatted and drank, and guessed some lantern riddles to pass the time.

Let's say that the two guests who Lin Fuyu reported to make trouble were none other than Xia Jiangmin and Ji Xingxuan's two daughters.

In the private room on the second floor, the two tables inside and outside are full of all kinds of dishes, full of aroma, some of them have long been cold, and some are still steaming, and they haven't moved a few bites.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the lanterns were hung on, Xia Jiangmin held a pair of ivory chopsticks, plucked twice in a dish in front of him, took out a piece of green onion, put it in his mouth and chewed it, picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked up and smiled at Lin Fu who was standing at the door and smiled:

"Shopkeeper, don't stand here, we'll naturally leave when we're full, we've just had an appetizer, what are you anxious about."

Lin Fu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, smiled, and silently recited a hundred times in his heart, "Harmony makes money." ”

Ji Xingxuan gently pulled her sleeve, looked at the dazzling dishes on the table, and persuaded in a low voice: "Minmin, it's okay, we should go back."

"Sister, don't worry, didn't we just change the table of dishes, we haven't settled the bill yet," Xia Jiangmin patted her hand and said to Lin Fu: "Trouble the shopkeeper to bring some more lanterns, I guess this, and then bring your most expensive dishes to the table."

Lin Fu waited for her to say a word, and hurriedly asked Gui Liu and Gui Qi, who were carrying lanterns outside, to come in and deliver them to the two of them.

Xia Jiangmin took one first, looked at it a few times, and said, "This is a spoon."

She said and took a pen to write, handed it over, Guiliu reached out and touched the mystery underneath, opened a comparison, and hit.

Then he guessed two more, and when he encountered a difficult one, he showed it to Ji Xingxuan: "Look..." Qi Liang Jiangshan, what kind of character is this?"

Ji Xingxuan thought for a while and said, "It's Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan."

Xia Jiangmin didn't ask her how to solve it, so she asked the guy to take out the riddle and compare, and when she saw it, she hit it again, and said happily: "Sister is so smart."

Ji Xingxuan listened to her praise, but she was not very happy, smiled helplessly, and wanted to persuade her to go back again, but Xia Jiangmin turned her head to look at the lantern riddle again.

"Huh? This is interesting, hehe, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, type, sister, what do you say this is?"

̈ is a 'mouth, a word.'

Xia Jiangmin nodded: "I said yes, let's get to the bottom."

It was dark, and a group of men and women in the private room behind the building were waiting a little impatiently, and as soon as the door opened, Lin Fu walked in from outside sweating profusely.

Feng Zhaomiao hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you stumped them?"

Lin Fu nodded vigorously and grinned: "There are three questions that have not been answered, and it just so happens that those dishes are extremely expensive, and those two people are worried that they have no money to settle the bill, so they can't order any more."

"Ha Lu Ha"

The people at the table laughed loudly, and Liu Jiong squeezed his eyes at Xue Rui and said, "Look, I still gave you the idea that made you lose a fortune, how do you thank me?"

"What are you happy about, it's not necessarily your question" Xue Rui cooled him, turned his head and asked Lin Fu: "Who didn't answer?"

Lin Fu nodded, and said with a red face: "There is one of the Nine Highnesses first."

Liu Jiong stroked his palm, "This is yes, we didn't answer his question just now." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were modest: "It's just a little detoured, it's not worth anything," and asked Lin Fu curiously: "What about the two other questions?"

Lin Fu bowed to him, "It's the county lord's." ”

Liu Jiong said: "This is also available, Xi Wen, what is your mystery, tell me quickly."

"It's just an idiom," Xi Wen put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and slowly circled everyone, and finally fell on Xue Rui: "Just said that there is a lottery if you win, right?"

Everyone replied yes, Yu Shu's eyelids jumped again, and he heard Xi Wenjiao say: "I don't have anything else, it's just that this afternoon I saw Brother Rui's joy of blocking wine for others, and I didn't toast a few glasses, so let him toast at this time - come on, bring the ten-year-old flower carvings to an altar, and let Brother Rui give it to the girl in the lotus room to drink."

Yu Shu's face changed slightly, this ordinary Huadiao wine is not high, but the ten-year-old wine is fast, a whole jar is enough to knock her down, and after drinking for a while, she can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and she is still talking nonsense, embarrassing, this little girl is bad

Xue Rui also frowned, looking at Xi Wen, I don't know what she was making trouble today.

Seeing Xue Rui's face, Xi Wen blinked innocently: "It's just a jar of wine, it's not too much, I don't think the amount of alcohol in the lotus room girl is not so shallow, it's a big deal to go down and rest when you're drunk."

"You-"

"Isn't there another one, what is the county lord anxious about?" Yu Shu saw that Xue Rui was about to speak, interrupted him first, turned half a body, and asked Lin Fu, who was wiping his sweat:

"Whose other one is it?"

Lin Fu cautiously looked at the grandparents and grandparents present, and squeezed out a smile:

"Yes, it's our Miss Yu."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table was surprised, and they all turned their heads to look at Yu Shu, and Xue Rui raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Why, her question is very simple, how can she not solve it?" Xi Wen questioned loudly, frowned delicately, looked at Lin Fu, and said coldly: "Don't fool us just to please your master."

Lin Fu hurriedly lowered his head: "County Lord Mingjian, how dare the little ones, it is indeed that they have misanswered the riddle of our Yu girl."

Liu Jiong was full of playfulness: "This is strange, I don't think the person outside is not incompetent, otherwise he would not even be able to solve Brother Rui's mystery, and he can't answer this easy question."

Xie Miaoyun patted Xi Wen's hand under the table, told her to calm down, turned her head and asked Lin Fudao, "Is it the one, two, three, four, and five questions, what did they answer?"

"It's the mystery they wrote." Lin Fu said as he took out a paper ball from his sleeve, and everyone saw that the paper was clearly a "mouth".

"Since it's a mouth, isn't that right?" Xiwen said angrily.

Lin Fuhan said with relish: "But, but the answer to the girl's riddle is not 'mouth', it is, it's a 'turtle, a turtle, a turtle."

This makes people wonder, after thinking about it, the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ninety, and one has nothing to do with the turtle character.

Xue Rui glanced at Yu Shu thoughtfully, and when he saw the corner of her mouth smiling, he suddenly realized how this was a "turtle".

Seeing that the situation suddenly changed, Xi Wen's tone was not good, and said to Yu Shu: "You can explain clearly, how is this a turtle, if you can't make sense, I don't rely on you."

"I didn't say that this was a 'mouth' at all, it was the county lord who guessed it himself just now," Yu Shu stood up with a smile, and gestured in the air with one hand: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ninety, only one is missing, that's right, that's what I forgot to write, it's not eight less, it's eight forgetful, eight kings, eight kings, isn't it just a turtle?"

"Ha Lu Ha" laughed loudly, Feng Zhaomiao got lost for a while and turned over the stool, sat on the ground with a "poof" sound, still slapped his thigh and laughed, and kept saying in his mouth:

"Wang Ba, Wang Ba, is a turtle"

The Nine Emperors and the girl beside him also bent the corners of their mouths, and the former looked at Yu Shu for the first time, nodded and said, "So right, let."

For a while, everyone at this table was smiling, and only Xi Wen was alone with a straight face, sullen.

"Ahem, okay, let's be serious," Xue Rui cleared his throat and said, "Now she has also won a game, Xi Wen, this punishment can always be waived."

Everyone looked at Xi Wen, but they heard her snort softly, and said: "That's not what I said, winning is winning, losing is losing, I win is mine, she wins is hers, how can it be mixed up."

Xue Rui also gave her a step down, but she was stubborn, looked at Liu Jiong, and gave him a look, Liu Jiong understood, and was about to persuade his stubborn sister, but he heard Yu Shu on the other side say loudly:

"The county lord is right, how can winning and losing be mixed, you punish that jar of wine, I admit it."

Yu Shu got up and left the table, walked in front of Xue Rui, stretched out his hands, and smiled well-behaved: "Big brother, give me a jar of wine."

Xue Rui didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she hesitantly picked up the wine jar on the table and handed it to her.

The next scene made the people at the table dumbfounded, Yu Shu, such a little girl, held the jar of wine, raised her head and cooed, drank it non-stop, and then came back to her senses, she had wiped her mouth boldly, and carried the empty jar for everyone to see.

Xue Rui was angry with her reckless behavior and smiled, and was about to talk about her, when he saw Yu Shu burp and muttered "It's my turn", he put down the empty jar drunken and hazy, picked a full jar of wine on the table, turned around and walked to the opposite side of the table, stopped in front of Xi Wen, tilted his neck, "hiccuped", handed it out, squinted his eyes and said:

"County Lord, it's your turn, just drink a jar of wine, don't overdo it."

The crowd was silent.

Reading her meaning, Xi Wen's face darkened, and this woman dared to embarrass her

Yu Shu, who was drunk and awake, sneered in her heart: Stinky girl, if your aunt doesn't teach you a lesson today, her name will be written backwards, the county lord is a fart, and she annoyed her, so don't think about it.

Xue Rui held his forehead with one hand, if he wanted to say that he was not to be provoked, he was afraid that no one could compare to him as a "sister".
