Chapter 149: The Woman in White

In Taiyuan City, Cui Wenqing and Zhe Zhao started a new busy.

Although it is not yet known how long it will take for the imperial court to arrive in Taiyuan, as the Zhenwu Army and the Hedong Road Yamen, the things that should be prepared should still be prepared.

As an institution that issues military bonds and treasury bonds, Hedong Bank is the top priority, especially the round-trip accounts and the inventory of the silver taels, which is so busy that Cui Wenqing's whole person is like a spinning top.

Fortunately, Vice President Lu Huiqing is still a good helper, after all, according to the history of Cui Wenqing's previous world, this person will become the second person in Wang Anshi's reform, and in the end, he will also be the prime minister, and his natural ability is super strong.

On this day, Cui Wenqing was busy with official business, and as soon as he returned to the yamen, he heard that the head of the guard Yu Youpenglou was waiting in the hall.

Cui Wenqing knew that the riddle must have a result, smiled and walked towards the main hall, just entered, saw a woman in a green dress standing in the hall admiring the surrounding decorations, it was the green bamboo that presided over the lantern festival that night.

"Hey, how could it be that the green bamboo girl came in person, could it be that you are the head of Youpenglou?" Cui Wenqing stepped over the threshold, already surprised and asked with a smile.

Lu Zhu turned around and saluted, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Cui Gongzi, the little woman is the head of Youpenglou." ”

"Oh, you look like you're only in your twenties, and you're in charge of such a big liquor store? It's unexpected. ”

"Hehe, Cui Gongzi doesn't know, our owner is an unruly person, and he likes to appoint our young women the most, so there are thirty-seven Youpeng buildings all over Daqi, all of which are young women in charge."

"Unruly? I think it's lewd ~ uninhibited. Cui Wenqing secretly slandered, and he was surprised, but he was a little envious in his heart.

Lu Zhu smiled and said, "Actually, the slave maid came here today for two things. ”

"Yes, girl, but it doesn't hurt." Cui Wenqing hurriedly raised his hand to signal.

"The first thing is to send the eight hundred and eighty-eight taels to Cui Gongzi."

"Oh? Sending money? So, the man couldn't guess the answer to my riddle? Hearing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help laughing.

He was not happy to get eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver, but he greatly killed the man's arrogant majesty, which really made him feel very excited.

Lu Zhu chuckled and said: "Cui Gongzi's riddle is very difficult to guess, so that person also failed to guess, our owner is the first time to defeat the person who is lost, and he is also very happy, and immediately ordered the slave maid to send silver taels, and said that if he comes to Luoyang in the future, please go to Luoyang to have a talk." ”

Cui Wenqing bowed his head and said: "That's natural, speaking of which, I'm also very curious about your owner who spends a lot of money, hehe, it's good to get to know each other." ”

Luzhu nodded, and then said: "Another thing, please ask the son to tell the mystery why, so that our owner can be more profitable." ”

"Well, in fact, this mystery is very simple, it's just a brain teaser." After finishing speaking, Cui Wenqing smiled and said, "Miss Green Bamboo, please stretch out your two hands first." ”

"Okay." Lu Zhu didn't hesitate for a moment, and stretched out his jade palm according to his words.

Cui Wenqing said with a faint smile: "Please girl, use your left hand to grab your right hand first." ”

Luzhu nodded, stretched out his left hand and grabbed his right hand very easily.

"It's easy, isn't it?" Cui Wenqing smiled and asked rhetorically: "I've reminded me so clearly, haven't you figured it out yet?" ”

Lu Zhu looked stunned, looked at his hand in a daze, suddenly reacted, and said with a surprised smile: "Cui Gongzi, I understand, the answer to your lantern riddle is the right hand." ”

"Clever." Cui Wenqing nodded and smiled, "Your left hand can easily grasp your right hand, but your right hand can never grasp your right hand, so the mystery is the right hand." ”

Lu Zhu shook his head and sighed, quite unexpectedly, and said softly: "Childe's way of fascinating is indeed very novel, by the way, you say this is called a brain teaser, right?" ”

"Yes, it's called a brain teaser." Cui Wenqing nodded.

Lu Zhu smiled: "If you can, can you ask the son to make another brain teaser, our owner still wants to take the test for that friend." ”

"Okay," Cui Wenqing smiled, "But if that person still can't guess, I don't know if your host will reward me?" ”

"Yes." Lu Zhu smiled and said, "As long as that person can't guess, our owner will pay Cui Gongzi a thousand taels of silver to you, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hearing that it was so easy to earn a thousand taels of silver, Cui Wenqing really couldn't believe his good luck, and secretly sighed: "Sure enough, people are stupid and have a lot of money, and this kind of money is not earned in vain." ”

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing thought about it for a while, and then said a brain teaser, in order to prevent trouble, this time he simply told Luzhu the answer directly, so that their owner could easily take the exam, so as not to ask back and forth.

Green bamboo got the riddle and immediately smiled and thanked him, and then left.

When Zhi Zhao came back and heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rippled with a smile, and he teased: "It's very easy for the husband to earn a thousand taels." ”

"Of course." Cui Wenqing smiled, "This kind of silver that can be obtained is naturally earned in vain." ”

Hearing this, Zhi Zhao finally couldn't help laughing, she shook her head and sighed quite emotionally, glanced at Cui Wenqing meaningfully, and then turned around and left.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing was confused, and waited until Zhezhao's back was getting farther away, then he came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but laugh and said to himself: "Rub!" What kind of eyes did this chick look at me just now? There was still a hint of sympathy, she was dizzy, right? After finishing speaking, he shook his head and smiled, not taking Zhizhao's faint reminder to heart at all.

It is still Luoyang City, which is covered by wind and snow, it is still the Guozijian connected to the buildings, it is still the elegant and chic courtyard, and it is still the pair of men and women who are drinking tea.

"Haha, Master Chen, you can't think of it, right?" The voice of the man in Xuanyi was indescribably proud, "The answer is actually his right hand, indeed, his left hand can hold it, and what his right hand can't grasp, only his right hand is his right hand!" ”

Listening to his words like a tongue twister, the woman in white was still calm and light, and she didn't seem to be affected by anything, and said lightly: "The way this riddle is solved is too strange, unlike other lantern riddles, I really can't guess it." ”

The man in the dark clothes heard the woman in white admit defeat for the first time, and for a moment he couldn't help but believe his ears, and said with a laugh: "Master Chen, you don't have to be discouraged, it is said that this kind of riddle is called brain teaser, I believe you haven't heard of it either, right?" ”
