Chapter 444: Solving Mystery with Mystery
One is the son of a family, and the other is the son of the Mo family who is famous in Chang'an City, and the grievances between the two were quickly picked up by everyone one by one.
From the grain purchase in Mojia Village to the grievances of Guozijian, it quickly spread among the people.
All of a sudden, the two had a new hatred and an old hatred, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.
Wei Si'an's face was gloomy, in terms of status, the Mo family was not inferior to him at all, and in terms of financial resources, the two were even more worlds apart.
"Don't argue with the two, this pure gold jewelry, our store is not for sale, but is ready to give it away for free to today's final winner." The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou wiped his sweat and said,
Jin Yulou originally came here today to make a name for himself, and of course he would not simply sell the pure gold jewelry.
Although both of them are people who Jin Yulou can't afford to offend, if one of them is not handled well, it will cause trouble for Jin Yulou. But in the future, it was rumored that the Mo family and the Wei family's sister-in-law competed for pure gold jewelry, which must be the problem of the Mo family.
"The winner?" Wei Si'an frowned and said, "If Jin Yulou is a competition to write poems, then there is no need to compare, this son will turn his head and leave!" ”
Although Wei Si'an has the meaning of admitting this, no one laughs at him, after all, Mo Jiazi's poetry is recognized by the people of Chang'an City, even if it is a contemporary Confucian Wenzong, he is ashamed of himself in front of Mo Jiazi.
The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou secretly regretted in his heart, if he had known that he could meet Mo Jiazi today, how could he also set the competition to write poems.
"I don't know how to win this pure gold jewelry." In the crowd, a voice shouted.
The shopkeeper of Jinyulou said loudly: "Tonight is the night of the Lantern Festival, naturally guess the lantern riddle as a game, please see the fire tree in front of the store, there are fifteen lanterns, each lantern has a lantern riddle, whoever can take the lead in answering fifteen lantern riddles, you can get the pure gold jewelry presented by Jinyulou." ”
"Guess the lantern riddle?" Many people were in an uproar.
No one thought that Jin Yulou would use the method of guessing lantern riddles to give pure gold jewelry, and many people were suddenly excited.
Princess Changle was puzzled and asked: "How can there be such a good thing in the world, how can Jin Yulou be so kind and give away gold for nothing." ”
Morton bowed his head and explained: "Being able to answer fifteen questions in a row in a very short period of time, and as long as one of them is answered incorrectly, you will miss the opportunity, which seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. Even if Jin Yulou finally gives away pure gold jewelry, it will definitely be able to attract enough popularity, and Jin Yulou can just take the opportunity to make a name for himself and move Chang'an City, no matter how it is calculated.
Princess Changle suddenly looked at the shopkeeper of Jinyulou who seemed to be loyal and said hatefully: "What a profiteer." ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Merton, and Merton suddenly suffered an unwarranted disaster, obviously Jin Yulou was cunning, how could it be counted on his own head,
Merton naturally knew that arguing with a woman at this time would not end well, regardless of whether the woman was dressed as a man or not.
Wei Si'an's face softened slightly, he had been preparing for the Lantern Festival night for a long time, and he was naturally proficient in lantern riddles.
"Brother Mo, dare to go on stage to fight!" Wei Si'an said loudly, looking at Merton provocatively, he didn't believe that Mo Jiazi was even proficient in lantern riddles.
Merton sighed in his heart, he knew that there would be a quiz program in later generations, and it was not easy to answer twenty correct answers in a row.
But now that Princess Changle is watching from behind, Merton naturally can't admit it, and said loudly: "I don't dare to ask for it."
"Can I participate if I can?" Many people in the audience coaxed, although everyone knew that the two were talented, but the opportunity to be white and golden was in front of them, and everyone was naturally unwilling to let it go.
The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou nodded and said: "That's natural, anyone who has passed the assessment of the store and is proficient in lantern riddles can participate!" Of course, Wei Gongzi and Mo Hou Ye are talented sons of Guozijian, so they are naturally exempt from nuclear approval. ”
"As long as you pass the assessment of Jin Yulou, you can participate in the final competition with Mo Hou Ye and Wei Gongzi." The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Building pointed to more than a dozen offerings behind him and said.
Suddenly, many people rushed away, just like Wei Si'an thought, guessing the lantern riddle is extremely out of the way, and there are not many people who are good at it, if they can win with their real skills, no one has anything to say.
Sure enough, as Merton guessed, the assessment of Jin Yu Lou is also a continuous answer to twenty riddles, which seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, there are many people who go to participate in the assessment, and in the end there are only four people who can really pass the assessment of Jin Yu Lou, plus Mo Dun and Wei Si'an, there are only six people.
Obviously, the four of them are all puzzle masters, and they don't admit defeat to each other and look at each other, even in the face of Wei Si'an's power and Merton's fame, none of them are willing to give up.
"Okay, please have the first lantern!" The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou stretched out his hand, and a guy took down a lantern at the bottom and handed it over.
The shopkeeper of Jinyulou took out the riddle and shouted loudly, the first riddle was sparse and ordinary, and the six people quickly answered.
However, the second anagram suddenly increased in difficulty, and one person was eliminated directly.
Soon the second and third people were eliminated, until the twelfth question came, a middle-aged scribe was defeated with a wry smile, and soon only Merton and Wei Si'an were left on the stage.
Wei Si'an looked at Merton and couldn't help but snort coldly, he didn't expect that Merton was so proficient in lantern riddles, he had been prepared, and he didn't expect that he would still be able to draw with Mo Jiazi.
The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou showed a hint of pride, no matter how tonight's ending is, the biggest winner must be Jin Yulou.
At that moment, the treasurer of the Golden Jade Building did not hesitate to take down the thirteenth lantern and sang the mystery in a loud voice: "Chinese New Year's Eve is the end of the year!" ”
Merton suddenly frowned, this sentence seems meaningless, Chinese New Year's Eve is not the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is indeed the end of the year, but guessing the lantern riddle naturally cannot be counted like this.
Merton's expression moved, and when he saw the word year, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the bottom of the year was not the eve, and the Chinese New Year's Eve was also the eve character.
Merton suddenly realized, picked up a pen and wrote more than one word on the paper and handed it over, and at the same time, Wei Si'an also handed in the answer.
"Congratulations, you answered! The answer to this riddle is multiple words. The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou said.
The two were tied again.
The surrounding crowd was stunned, to be honest, this riddle is quite difficult, ordinary people are still thinking about it, and both of them have blurted out the answer.
When the fourteenth lantern arrived, everyone immediately held their breath, waiting for another fierce confrontation.
"The time of drawing is round, the time of writing is square, the winter time is short, and the summer time is long." When the shopkeeper of Jin Yulou broke out the mystery again, the audience immediately frowned.
What is it that can have both the length and the short of the four states at the same time, and they all looked at the shopkeeper of Jin Yulou incredulously, wondering if he was wrong.
When the shopkeeper of Jin Yulou must say it again, the audience was in an uproar.
Wei Si'an also frowned, when the timekeeping funnel was about to run out, Wei Si'an subconsciously looked up at the sky, and suddenly realized that he was writing down the mystery.
Wei Si'an proudly handed over his riddle and said to the shopkeeper of Jinyulou: "This time, I want to listen to Brother Mo's riddle first." ”
The shopkeeper of Jin Yulou turned his head to look at Merton, only to see Morton nodding indifferently, only then did he open the mystery of Merton, and his eyes lit up and he read aloud.
"There is a fish in the East China Sea, without a head and a tail, and if you remove the backbone, it is your mystery."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect that Merton's riddle turned out to be a mystery, and they couldn't help but look at Merton in surprise.
The middle-aged scribe who had been defeated before lit up his eyes when he heard this, and said: "This is a riddle to solve the riddle, if it is not bad as expected, this riddle should be a Japanese word." ”
"Solve the mystery with the mystery." Everyone was suddenly amazed, and Merton's riddle was an anagram, the easiest to solve, and everyone easily thought of Japanese characters.
At this time, everyone suddenly drew the meaning of the time circle, the time square, the winter time is short, and the summer time is long.
Wei Si'an couldn't help but hate in his heart, but when he saw the moon in the sky, he had a flash of inspiration, and he didn't expect Mo Jiazi to be ingenious and steal the limelight with a mystery.
