"Little Hou Ye, are you so sure you can win?"

Xie Lingyun's pupils shrank and he was taken aback.

He hasn't even come up with the question yet, and Xiao Duhou thinks that they will lose the silver? No matter how loud the tone is, you have to come up with the title of the lantern riddle first!

Chu Tianxiu thought for a while and said, "It's too troublesome to come one by one." Otherwise, you just go together. I'll make a riddle, and each of you will make a riddle! I'm going to take on a bunch of you alone! You have solved my riddle, and I will lose ten taels to each of you. I guessed your riddle correctly, each of you loses ten taels of silver. ”

This is equivalent to solving all the riddles as long as one person solves his riddles.

"Little Hou Ye has such a big breath!"

"In that case, we are willing to accompany you!"

"Come on, let's write lantern riddles together!"

The scholars and scholars in front of the restaurant were immediately angry when they heard Xiao Duhou's tone so loud.

Guessing lantern riddles, the most commonly used all kinds of tricky and cold knowledge points!

They're at least thirty or forty people here.

If you want to say that the breadth of reading and the richness of knowledge, it is more than ten times that of Xiao Duhou. It's a joke that you can't fight Xiao Duhou.

There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the tavern, and the gentlemen began to rack their brains on the spot, making up lantern riddles from all kinds of strange angles.

Lantern riddles, the scope involved is too wide.

You can split words, you can leave with you, you can hide your head, you can show your tail, you can wind and snow, you can go down to the Riba people, you can be serious, and you can talk about people.

It can be exaggerated, metaphorical, shooting, it can be couplet, it can be idioms, it can be poetry, it can be hitting objects, guessing characters, stories... Everything, everything.

The scholars and scholars quickly wrote a riddle for each of them.

Even, some daughters also joined in the fun, wrote some interesting lantern riddles of their daughter's house and the joy of the boudoir, and also came to let the little dusk marquis guess.

"I'll wait for the riddle to be written, please start it!"

Xie Lingyun said confidently.

All the scholars have stopped writing.

Chu Tianxiu picked up his pen at this time, and wrote down a pair of first lantern riddles through the ages on a lantern riddle with an indifferent expression: "Please use trigonometric functions to induce formula formulas and solve puzzles, 'odd and even unchanged'." ”

...

Restaurant.

There was silence.

The scholars stared, looking at the riddle written by Chu Tianxiu, looking at each other, and their hearts were empty.

This, what kind of riddle is this?

Dong Xianliang fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.

Jia Yu and Gongsun Hong looked sluggish, they had read countless books of sages, but they had never heard of the mystery of "strange changes and unchanging couples".

"Brother Chao, what kind of puzzle is this? What does this trigonometric function mean? ”

Some scholars were confused and asked the wizard Chao Fangzheng in a low voice.

"'Triangle', a little bit below. This is the realm of arithmetic, and the Book of Arithmetic covers a total of sixty-eight questions.

In "Zhou Li", etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Among the numbers, there are 246 questions in the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", of which the ninth chapter, 'Pythagoreanism', is the triangle.

In "Zhou Ji Sutra", Zhou Gong asked Shang Gao how to calculate. Shang Gao said, 'The method of counting comes from the circle. The circle is out of the square, the square is out of the moment, and the moment is out of the ninety-nine eighty-one. Therefore, it is thought that the hook is wide three, the stock repair is four, and the diameter is even five', which can be described as a triangle. ”

Chao Fangzheng pondered and explained.

"Brother Chao... Knowledgeable and knowledgeable, the world's top talents! ”

The scholar was dumbfounded and amazed.

is worthy of the famous genius Chao Fangzheng.

However, he still didn't understand, "That... Little Dusk Hou this lantern riddle, what is the solution? ”

"I know a little about trigonometry, but it's a 'function-induced formula'... It's too profound. 'Odd and even unchanged', Xiao Duhou's research on triangle has entered a field that I have never set foot in. ”

Chao Fangzheng sighed.

All the scholars were at a loss, and even Chao Fangzheng, a genius, couldn't solve this riddle. How do they hack?

In the end, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Dong Xianliang was still seriously pondering.

Could it be that he understands?

The scholars couldn't help but hurriedly ask him for advice.

"All my life, I only read Confucian books, and I did not dabble in trigonometric arithmetic.

However, I always feel that 'odd and even unchanged' contains the simple principle of yin and yang!

You see. The odd number changes and the even number does not change, isn't this a single double, a movement and a static, a yin and a yang, including the number of Zhouyi gossip, the avenue of heaven and earth?

If I can comprehend the truth here and understand it thoroughly, this Confucian road will definitely be able to reach a higher level! ”

Dong Xianliang shook his head and said happily.

He felt as if he had touched a little bit of the gate of the Sage's Avenue, and when he opened this door, there was a vast world.

"Brother Dong... You think slowly! ”

When all the men heard this, they wept.

We are solving the triangular puzzle of arithmetic, not studying the yin and yang techniques of Taoism and Confucianism.

If they don't solve this riddle, they are afraid that many people will have to pay these ten taels of silver.

...

Chu Tianxiu drank a glass of water and wine lightly.

This lantern riddle is the first very clear and definite "traverser" joint signal that he traveled through two thousand years and left in the Great Chu Dynasty.

If so, there will be later "traversers".

Please receive this signal!

At the moment, it seems that no one can receive this signal.

...

Just when the scholars were racking their brains and pondering the mystery.

Chu Tianxiu was already quickly cracking the riddles of the scholars.

As the most knowledgeable man in Da Chu, even if he can't solve all the riddles, it's still no problem to crack a small part.

cracked a riddle of the other party, and he charged ten taels of silver. The other party's riddle that was not solved, because the opponent also failed to crack his riddle, it was a tie.

No matter how cool it is, he doesn't lose.

He came to Xie Lingyun.

But I saw that Xie Lingyun's lantern riddle was, "An uncrackable lantern riddle, please answer the idiom." ”

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but smile, "The mystery is 'puzzled'?" Take the money! ”

Xie Lingyun was directly stunned.

Chu Tianxiu came to another scholar again, "Jiangdong is vast, guess the name of one person." ... Oh, Jiangdong was called 'Wu' in ancient times, vast and wide, and the mystery 'Wu Guang' is! Zu'er, take him ten taels of silver! ”

"It's my uncle!"

Zuer is happy.

"Fifteenth, guess the word? .... Fifteen is half a month, and the mystery is 'fat'? Don't keep making it so simple, I'm embarrassed to take money. ”

Chu Tianxiu solved the problem, and Zu'er followed him to collect the cashier.

came to play lantern riddles, and collected more than 100 taels of silver.

It's a lucrative business!

"It's a hundred taels of silver, it seems that this Lantern Festival will save a lot of silver. Let's go shopping! ”

Chu Tianxiu took Li Yu, Zu'er and Di'er, and the four of them happily left the restaurant.

The four of them left the restaurant, and the scholars were still struggling to figure out how to solve the puzzle.

...

"Lady, this hundred taels of silver will be given to you, and I will buy some rouge gouache or something on the street shop. I'll take Zu'er, take ten taels of silver, and go buy something to eat! ”

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

"Okay, Dill and I went to visit the rouge shop over there. Husband and Zu'er, go buy something to eat! ”

Li Yu's beautiful eyes were like a crescent moon, and she nodded with a smile.

She didn't stop it, she just winked at Zu'er and admonished, "This Qinhuai River is crowded with people. Zuer... Don't get separated! ”

Zu'er immediately nodded vigorously, and everything was wrapped around her.

With her following, my uncle shouldn't think of any crooked thoughts.
