The Dingguo Mansion is very large, far from being able to compare with Liu Jin's three-entry courtyard, not only a courtyard, but also a large garden, the garden is still built around a small lake, there is a small island in the center of the lake, and a pavilion is built on the side.

At this time, in this pavilion, a group of young men and women are talking and laughing and playing some riddles and singing the wind and the moon, all of whom are from the wealthy families in the capital.

Because these wealthy nobles are almost all married to each other, these people can basically be regarded as cousins, and they will not have too many constraints when they are together.

"Sister, it's up to you whether we can win them today."

Zhang Ying, the granddaughter of the British Gong Zhang Mao, put her arm around a woman and said.

"Sister, my fists are hard to beat with four hands, if you want to win them, you still have to rely on our sisters to work together, and their profits will be gold."

Xu Wan'er said with a smile to several women around her.

It turns out that in the pavilion at this time, men and women are naturally divided into two sides, and they can ask each other questions, guess riddles, or make pairs, and of course, they can also test poetry and songs.

The men's team is led by Zhang Lun, the grandson of the British Gong Zhang Mao, and Zhu Xizhong, the grandson of Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, and there are also some young talents invited by the two, who are also some well-known talents in the capital.

As for the women's team, the leaders are Xu Wan'er, the youngest granddaughter of Xu Yongning, the Duke of Dingguo, and Zhang Ying, the granddaughter of Zhang Mao, the British Gong, and a few other girlfriends invited by the two of them, all of whom are also women in the boudoirs of some princes and princes.

The children of ordinary people, not to mention girls, even boys rarely have the opportunity to learn and read, but for the children of these wealthy and noble families, women also have books to read, and most of them are taught by some famous teachers, so all levels are okay.

"Sister, you are erudite, intelligent, and very good at learning, and it is not trivial to win them."

Zhang Ying is only sixteen years old now, but she is already a big beauty, with a graceful figure, a delicate face with a pair of big eyes, looking eccentric, wearing a goose yellow skirt, which matches her temperament very well.

"How can I have a sister, you are eccentric, this task of the question, I think it will fall to your sister, you must stump them."

Xu Wan'er is seventeen years old, and it stands to reason that she should have married a long time ago, but she is the youngest granddaughter of Xu Yongning, the prince of Dingguo, the kind of pearl in her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth, so although there have been many people who have proposed to the Dingguo Mansion, Xu Yongning, the Duke of Dingguo, has never married her off.

This Xu Wan'er not only has the appearance of the country's natural fragrance, but also is ice and snow smart, talented and beautiful, and naturally has some pride in her heart, and she can't look down on the men of the ordinary princely family, especially the children and grandchildren of many princes and nobles are some gentlemen.

She is also the granddaughter of Dingguo Gong, Dingguo Gong is a wealthy family of the Ming Dynasty, and she does not need to consolidate her status and power through marriage or something, as for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, according to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, all the women in the harem of the Ming Emperor were children from ordinary gentry and landlords, and there were very few children of princes and nobles.

Therefore, Xu Yongning, the prince of Dingguo, also said that he asked Xu Wan'er to find a young talent who was worthy of her and wanted her to like, which dragged on until she was seventeen years old and did not marry.

"With Sister Wan'er and Sister Zhang Ying here, it's not difficult to win them, look at this anagram, they haven't guessed it for a long time."

Next to the two, a woman in a white dress who was also as beautiful as a flower followed and said, her name was Li Zhen, and she was the granddaughter of a squire in the court, and she was only sixteen years old.

"Sister Wan'er, what is this mystery, I can't think of an answer after thinking about it for a long time."

Zhang Ying looked at the other party who were meditating hard and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Sister Wan'er, this anagram is really difficult, I really can't think of it."

"Naturally, my sister's question is not so easy to come up with."

Several other women also followed suit, and just now Xu Wan'er gave a word puzzle to the other party, which stumped the men's team at once.

"It's the word of thought, the thought of thinking, it's actually very simple, you can definitely come up with it if you think about it more."

Xu Wan'er smiled and whispered.

"I see, ten mouths, one heart, why didn't I think of it."

Zhang Ying heard the answer, thought about it, and suddenly said with a sense of enlightenment.

"Me too, I can't even think of it, but my sister is still amazing."

Li Zhen also said with a smile.

"Ten mouths, one heart, have you figured out the answer?"

Zhang Ying said to the people on the men's team.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're thinking about it, and we'll think about it soon."

Zhang Ying's brother Zhang Lun said with a frown.

"Let's think about it quickly, this is just the beginning, if we can't think of an answer to a random question from the other party, there will be no place to put this face."

"I can't think of it, I can't think of it, this Xu Wan'er is so talented, she really lives up to her reputation, and she can't stump a few of us with any debut questions."

"Otherwise, we will admit defeat in this question, as long as we can't answer the question, it will be considered a draw."

Around Zhang Lun, several people frowned one by one, meditating hard, but they couldn't come up with an answer.

"If you can't answer, you can just admit defeat."

Zhang Ying seemed to see that Zhang Lun, Zhu Xizhong and others couldn't think of an answer, and said proudly.

"How can we not answer, let's think again, think again."

Zhu Xizhong was naturally unwilling to admit defeat like this, so he also walked around and meditated hard.

At this moment, Xu Guangzuo walked over with Liu Jinyou talking and laughing, Zhang Lun saw Xu Guangzuo coming, and his eyes immediately lit up and said with a smile: "Haha, our reinforcements are here." ”

Hearing Zhang Lun's words, everyone also hurriedly looked over.

"Who's next to your brother?"

Zhang Ying's eyes naturally fell on Liu Jin's body at once, Liu Jinfeng was handsome, his eyes were like the vast starry sky, and he was talking and laughing with Xu Guangzuo while walking, although he looked young, he had a sense of maturity and stability.

"I don't know."

Xu Wan'er shook her head slightly, she also looked at Liu Jin carefully, and a light flashed in her eyes.

"He's quite handsome."

Li Zhen commented with a smile.

"It seems that our Li Da Mei is tempted."

Zhang Ying couldn't help but laugh at once.

"Why, I'm just saying that."

Li Zhen suddenly blushed and said weakly.

Soon, Xu Guangzuo and Liu Jin came to the pavilion in the center of the lake, and Xu Guangzuo introduced to everyone with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is Brother Liu Jin, the son of a master that everyone has always wanted to know." ”

Hearing Xu Guangzuo's introduction, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, Liu Jin's name was naturally already familiar to these people, Liu Jin's words in Wangyue Tower at the beginning, but also instantly became famous, not only the entire capital knew Liu Jin, and even spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"I've seen Brother Liu~"

Zhang Lun, Zhu Xizhong and others naturally greeted Liu Jin with smiles on their faces, but they knew that the Liu Jin in front of them, although he was young and about the same as himself and others, was dealing with their grandfather Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu and others, and had a great relationship with His Royal Highness the current Prince.

"I've seen Brother Zhu and Brother Zhang..."

Xu Guangzuo also smiled and introduced everyone present to Liu Jin one by one, and the man is naturally commensurate with brothers.

"Hello~"

As for Zhang Ying, Xu Wan'er, and Li Zhen, Liu Jin couldn't think of how to call them for a while, so he smiled and said in the way of greeting future generations.

"It's really interesting."

Zhang Ying saw that Liu Jin's way of greeting was very special, and she also smiled and said to Xu Wan'er, Li Zhen and others.

"Brother Xu, Brother Liu, you came just in time, and there was a problem for us on the other side, and we haven't come up with an answer yet, so you can help think about it."

came to help, Zhang Lun also hurriedly said the topic just now, and asked Xu Guangzuo and Liu Jin to help think about it.

"Ten mouths, one heart?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he thought silently in his heart, and immediately guessed that Liu Jin from later generations, in the Internet era of information explosion, sometimes in some chat groups, when everyone is idle and has nothing to do, they will play idiom solitaire, guess words, and pair games.

"I can't figure it out, Brother Liu, have you figured it out?"

Xu Guangzuo thought about it, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said.

"It's the word of longing."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"yes, I didn't think of that."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Lun couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, he looks very similar to Zhang Mao, but he didn't inherit Lao Zhang's intelligence, but his sister Zhang Ying inherited Zhang Mao's wisdom, and the whole person is eccentric.

"I see, admire, admire, Brother Liu is amazing, and he deserves to be a son of a master."

Zhu Xizhong also said.

"Everyone has won the prize, and I just happen to know this title."

Liu Jin said modestly.

"You're fine, we've already figured out the answer, it's the word of missing."

Zhang Lun occupied the middle and said the answer.

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to guess it, but it's taken too long."

Zhang Ying also stood up and replied.

"It's been a long time, but we've answered it anyway."

Zhang Lun looked at his sister and said with a smile.

"Okay, if you get it right, you're ready to ask."

Zhang Ying pouted.

"Everyone, when we come up with the question, everyone hurriedly thinks of a difficult one, and talks about them to give them a difficult place to live."

Zhang Lun returned to the men's team and said to everyone.

"I'll come up with the question this time~"

Zhu Xizhong was the first to stand up, looking very confident and said: "This is what I saw in a book, it is very difficult, I don't believe they can guess it." ”

After speaking, Zhu Xizhong also stood in the middle of the pavilion and said to Zhang Ying, Xu Wan'er, Li Zhen and others: "Listen." ”

"Red on one side, green on the other, afraid of wind on the other, and rain on the other."

"If you can guess it, you're amazing."

After speaking, Zhu Xizhong also came back confidently, as for Xu Wan'er, Li Zhen, Zhang Ying and others, they frowned one by one, and also began to think hard.

"Sister, this topic is a bit difficult, this should be two words to form a word, this side is afraid of rain, most of them are fire words, fire words are red, the other side is afraid of wind, or green, I can't think of it."

Zhang Ying thought for a long time, and shook her head slightly and said.

"I can't think of a word that is green and afraid of the wind, what is it?"

Li Zhen also said.

"This question is not difficult, but sister, you are mistaken, this fire word is guessed correctly, but fire corresponds not to rain, but to wind, wind can also blow to extinguish fire, this rain corresponds to another word, and this word is the word He."

Xu Wan'er Bingxue was smart, and she quickly came up with an answer just after thinking about it.

"The word He plus the word fire, that's the autumn word in autumn, right?"

When Xu Wan'er heard this, her big eyes lit up, and she said with a smile.

"It's the autumn word."

Xu Wan'er said.

"We've already figured out the answer, it's the autumn word for autumn, right?"

Zhang Yingqian said very confidently.

"How did you figure it out so quickly?"

When Zhu Xizhong heard this, he immediately said with some discouragement, he thought that this question could stump the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to come up with it quickly.

Liu Jin on the side didn't speak, he guessed this question at once, of course, because he had read this question, the difficulty of this question was still average, and it was not easy for ordinary people to answer it.

The other party was able to answer in such a short time, which still made Liu Jin couldn't help but be impressed, it seems that these women are not only beautiful, but also very smart.

"It's on our side~"

"Let's think about it quickly, and give them a difficult question that they can't answer."

Zhang Ying returned to the women's team and said with a smile.

"Sister Wan'er, if you don't come up with a question, your question will definitely be able to stump the other party at once."

Li Zhen said with a smile.

"Let's do it first, everyone will come up with the questions, so that it will be more fun."

Xu Wan'er said with a smile.

"Then I'll come up with the question this time, isn't that Liu Jin a son of a master, this time I'll make a special question for him to guess to see if he has real talent and learning."

When Li Zhen heard this, she immediately volunteered.

"Haha, I said that I wasn't tempted, so I said sister, you are tempted, and I specially asked Liu Jin, it seems that it is rippling."

When Zhang Ying heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What's the matter, I'm just curious, how powerful this son of a master is."

When Li Zhen heard this, her face turned red, and she couldn't help but lower her head and say.

"Then you have to come up with a difficult question, the other party is a son of a master, I heard that he is still a showman, and he will not add the autumn exam until August."

Xu Wan'er said with a smile.
