Chapter 30: What's in the Bag

"Huh? What happened to Young Master Yang? ”

Yan Feixue said strangely.

"Yang Gongzi went to the other three flower boats just now, and guessed the mystery of the other three young ladies......"

Xiang'er stomped her foot, a little unhappy.

In her mind, Yang Xu's approach was no different from that of a man who was in the twilight of his life.

Yan Feixue raised her eyebrows: "So, he guessed the mystery of the four flower boats?" This Yang Xu is really getting more and more interesting......"

She suddenly smiled: "Xiang'er, guess, will Yang Xu do this because he wants to take away the silver given by the four of us at the same time?" ”

Xiang'er was stunned and muttered, "No......"

Yan Feixue said: "I think it's possible. You think, he comes from a place called Yangjiazhai, and most of the Dafan villages are remote and poor. It's normal for him to want to earn more silver......"

"But...... But...... How could he do this! ”

Xiang'er muttered under her breath.

In Xiang'er's imagination, literati should all have a strong and proud backbone, regard fame and fortune as floating clouds, and money as dung, but if Yang Xu is really as her own young lady said, she is purely here for silver, then she will be too disappointed.

She originally had a good impression of Yang Xu, hoping that the other party was a person with a noble character, not a mortal man with a copper smell, which was in line with the perfect image in her mind.

Therefore, she didn't want to believe her own lady's words, and silently prayed that Yang Xu was not a money-loving person, but she didn't really be right by her own miss.

Yan Feixue said with a smile: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way...... As long as Yang Xu can answer the questions of the four of us, and he is the best among them, then why not let him go with our silver? ”

She knew that her servant girl was sometimes too idealistic, so she smiled and said, "Xiang'er, don't think that people who read don't love money." In fact, if a reader wants to buy the four treasures of the study, all kinds of books, travel the world, and make friends, which one does not need to be expensed? Don't think too much of a scholar! ”

She has come into contact with too many scholars than Xiang'er, among whom there are only a very small number of people with high character, and the vast majority of them are more unbearable than ordinary people in terms of wealth, and the so-called pure and high are only on the surface.

So in her opinion, if Yang Xu can get the silver, it is also his ability to prove that his talent is higher than others.

And people who love money are not necessarily bad in character.

In this world, how many people can really do it if they really regard money as dung, from emperors to beggars?

If Yang Xu was here, he knew what Yan Feixue was thinking, he would definitely introduce him as a confidant, and then sighed with such emotion: "Lao Tzu likes white silver and beautiful women, but it doesn't mean that Lao Tzu is not a good person!" Lao Tzu is more humble and pure than the vast majority of people in this world! ”

At this time, Yang Xu, after answering the riddle of the four oirans, returned to the riverbank again and stood with Yang Fugui.

He was the only one who answered two questions on the four flower boats at the same time, so the eyes of everyone around him looked at him with admiration and envy, and there was also jealousy.

After Zhou Yi wrote the mystery on Yan Feixue's flower boat, he also returned to the shore, but his face was not very good-looking.

In the first question, although he took the lead, Yang Xu answered four questions in a row, completely overshadowing him.

This second question, he was one step behind and didn't say anything, Yang Xu answered four questions in a row, but after he went ashore, the eyes of the people around him just stared at Yang Xu, and seemed to ignore his existence Zhou Yi.

This makes Zhou Yi, who has the name of the four great talents on his head and has always had his eyes above the top, how can he swallow this breath?

However, Zhou Yi is not a fool, knowing that Yang Xu can answer all the questions of the four Oiran, and his talent and knowledge may be better than himself.

Therefore, in his heart, he has regarded Yang Xu as the biggest obstacle for him to enter Yan Fei's snowflake ship.

"Fugui, what are you laughing at?"

Seeing Yang Fugui grinning at him, Yang Xu couldn't help but ask.

Yang Fugui scratched his head, and his mouth grinned even wider: "I'm thinking...... Four hundred taels of silver will weigh it, and will the gentleman be able to carry it when the time comes! ”

Yang Xu laughed and patted Yang Fugui's shoulder: "I can't carry it, don't I still have you?" Let you come along, just be ready to work hard! ”

Yang Fugui straightened his chest: "Don't say four hundred taels of silver, even if it's more than half, I can also carry it!" ”

Zhou Yi, who was on the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the conversation between the two, thinking to himself that the meaning of these two guys' words was as if the four hundred taels of silver that the four Oiran were going to give away had become something in their pockets, which was really unreasonable!

Not long after, the four Oiran's personal maidservants announced the answers to the four puzzles, and two or three people answered each puzzle.

Among them, Yang Xu is undoubtedly the one that has attracted the most attention.

Many people thought about going on like this, maybe Yang Xu really had the hope of entering the four flower boats, drinking with the four oirans, and taking the silver they gave him when he left, thus becoming a legend in Jinyang City.

"Fifteen nights in the garden full of spring...... The mystery turned out to be 'flowers and full moons'. Spring is the time to spend flowers, and the fifteenth is the night of the full moon...... Such a simple puzzle, how could I not have thought of it? ”

"Nine out of ten knocks on the firewood are not opened...... The mystery is 'one side'. If you don't open it nine times out of ten, it means that you have opened it once and met each other, but is it the fate of one side? I'm so stupid! ”

"There is soil to grow crops, there is water to raise fish and shrimp, there are people who are not you and me, and there are horses that travel all over the world...... The answer to the puzzle turned out to be the word 'also'. The earth is the earth, the water is the pool, the man is him, and the horse is galloping...... Alas! It's a pity I didn't guess it at the time! ”

"Four mountain characters mountain backing mountain, four Sichuan characters Sichuan set Chuan, four words mouth-to-mouth, four crosses upside down...... The answer to Miss Yan's mystery is actually the word 'Tian'...... I just had a flash of inspiration in my head, and I almost didn't guess it! ”

Many literati on the riverbank couldn't help beating their chests and regretting after seeing the mystery revealed by the four maidservants.

After the second question, half of them were eliminated, and only seven or eight had the opportunity to enter the flower boat.

Among the seven or eight people, except for Yang Xu and Zhou Yi, the others were all high-spirited and proud, thinking that even if they couldn't enter the flower boat as they wished, they would drink with the four Oiran in the same room and leave a good story, and they would be regarded as being in the limelight in front of people, and they would not come in vain.

Zhou Yi looked at the people around him and found that they were all literati in the city, and they were not as good as himself in terms of talent and knowledge, so he didn't take it to heart.

And he was unfamiliar with it, and he felt that it was a threat to him, there was only one Yang Xu.

Next, let's take a look at what the third topic of the four Oiran is, if it is Zhou Yi's poetry Wenbin, who is good at, he is confident that he will finally set foot in Yan Feixue's flower boat.

In Zhou Yi's eyes, what couplets and puzzles are just small paths, only poetry and Wenbin can show his true skills!

In anticipation of everyone, Xiang'er and the other three maidservants on the flower boat once again walked out of the flower boat and stood on the deck.

"Miss Xiang'er, don't sell Guanzi anymore, let's talk about the third question! We all want to know today's results earlier, and see which four sons can be blessed to enter the flower boat of the four Oiran! ”

On the bank of the river, someone urged impatiently.

Xiang'er pursed her lips and smiled, saluted Yang Xu and Zhou Yi, and then said crisply: "Today is the Moon Festival, so this third question is to ask all the sons to compose a poem on the spot, and it must be related to the bright moon......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw that Yang Xu had already gotten on the flower boat, strode to the table on the deck, held the pen in her hand, dipped it in thick ink, and after a little thought, she was ready to write.
