Chapter 144: Coming from Behind (Second Update)

Cui Wenqing paced and thought while thinking, and inadvertently walked to the window lattice, looking at the lively scene below for a long time.

At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the lively atmosphere of the Midyear Festival has also reached a high point.

It can be seen that the lights on the long street are connected, lively, many people holding lanterns are endless, and the lanterns are just like the stars above the nine heavens.

Seeing that his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his expression was solemn, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and persuaded softly: "Husband, if you really can't figure it out, then just give up." ”

Cui Wenqing smiled back and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a huge lantern suddenly appear at the corner of the street, and the whole person was stunned as if he was concentrated by lightning, and he was stunned in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhi Zhao was very surprised and followed his line of sight.

It can be seen that a very huge carp lantern appeared at the entrance of the street, about five or six zhang long, and was being carried by dozens of people, swimming towards the long street.

Throughout the ages, people believe that carp is a spiritual fish, which has auspicious symbolic meaning in the folk, and the picture of the doll holding the carp in the New Year's painting is a must-have for almost every family.

I think that today is the last day of the New Year, so the people of Taiyuan City have woven such a huge carp, which means that there are fish every year.

Just like this, the contemplative look on Cui Wenqing's face disappeared, and a clear smile rippled at the corner of his mouth.

He turned around and walked to the peacock lantern that said "Windless lotus leaves move", and when he was about to speak, Wen Hegui suddenly saw him, and couldn't help but sneer at him: "What, Cui nerd, did you think of the answer?" ”

Pang Hui sneered: "Young Master Wen doesn't know, this Cui nerd is penniless and destitute, seeing that he has such an opportunity to earn a huge amount of money, whether it is right or wrong, he has to give it a try, maybe he can be right, hahahaha......" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

Faced with bursts of laughter, Cui Wenqing was calm, he smiled at Luzhu and said, "Luzhu girl, I have already guessed the riddle." ”

Lu Zhu bowed slightly, but her expression was not half excited, but the cloud was light and light, speaking of which, she didn't believe that this person could guess the answer to this riddle that could be described as a rare riddle.

Wen Hegui said with a surprised smile: "Really guessed? Oh, if you really want to rely on Meng, don't say it and be embarrassed. ”

Pang Hui smiled happily: "It's okay, Gongzi Wen, let's listen to his answer, but you can say it in advance, if you answer wrong, you have to lose the competition, how about it?" ”

Cui Wenqing smiled leisurely: "That's it." ”

After that, he restrained his smile and said solemnly: "If my thinking is correct, this 'windless lotus leaf movement' is a charade, and the answer is the word 'balance' for weighing." ”

The words fell, and the surrounding guests all showed deep thoughts.

Wen Gongzi thought for a long time, and then snorted coldly: "Hengzi? What is the relationship between windless lotus leaf movement and Hengzi? Aren't you guessing? ”

Lu Zhu also smiled and said: "This son, no matter how we think about it, the movement of windless lotus leaves should have nothing to do with Hengzi." ”

Cui Wenqing said: "Indeed, from a literal point of view, the windless lotus leaf movement has nothing to do with the word Hengzi, and it can't be hit with eight poles, but if it is divergent thinking, it is related." ”

"Divergent thinking?" Everyone was puzzled, obviously not understanding what this sentence meant.

Zhe Zhao had long been accustomed to the fresh words that Cui Wenqing came out of from time to time, frowning and asking, "Husband, I don't know what this divergent thinking means?" ”

Cui Wenqing explained with a smile: "Let's put it this way, Lao Tzu, one of the sages in ancient times, wrote a book called "Tao Te Ching", and there is a sentence in the book that Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. It is said that nothing in the world exists independently, but influences and extends each other. ”

"Take the lantern riddle of windless lotus leaf movement, if you keep thinking about these five words on the literal word, you can't guess the answer at all, but you have to extend your thoughts to think about why there is no wind lotus leaf movement."

"Why?" Someone immediately asked.

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "The lotus leaf is born alone in the water, and generally only the breeze can make it sway, but this sentence has already said that there was no majesty at that time, but there is another situation, if there is a big fish swimming under the water, it will also make the lotus leaf shake more than once, so I think this mystery should be related to the 'fish'." ”

"However, even if I thought about it just now, I couldn't think of what the mystery was, after all, the mystery couldn't just be a fish."

"Then I thought again, the fish must swim in the water, so the corresponding to the windless lotus leaf movement should be the big fish swimming in the water."

After listening to Cui Wenqing's dismantling, many people nodded suddenly.

Luzhu frowned and asked, "But what does the big fish have to do with the word Heng in the water?" ”

Speaking of this, Cui Wenqing showed a hint of luck on his face, and pointed to the carp lantern that was passing by on the street outside the window and said: "It's really wrong for the big fish to swim in the water, so I haven't been able to figure it out, but then I saw the carp lantern outside the window, and I understood." ”

Lu Zhu was confused and asked, "What is the relationship between the two?" ”

Cui Wenqing laughed lightly and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, where there are carp swimming in the water, but all the carp lanterns that follow the passers-by, so this sentence should be 'no wind lotus leaves move, there must be big fish', the big fish together, isn't it a balance word!" ”

When the words fell, everyone felt that a light suddenly flashed in their hearts, and all the links they couldn't understand were completely unraveled at this moment.

If there is no wind and lotus leaves moving, there will be big fish?

Once Cui Wenqing's dismantling explanation, isn't the answer obvious?

Luzhu suddenly came to his senses, thought about it, and not only praised it with a look of surprise: "It turns out that the riddle of this lantern riddle is a balance word, and the son is so powerful, he can even guess such a difficult lantern riddle, he is really talented." ”

Cui Wenqing shook his hand and smiled: "If you are not a high talent, if you are not lucky to see the carp lantern walking below, I can't figure it out." ”

Luzhu nodded excitedly and said: "No matter what, you did guess it, Childe, the little woman immediately told the owner in Luoyang and offered the promised silver and two hands." ”

Hearing this, everyone was envious and admired, and Wen Hegui's whole face turned the color of pig liver, which was both a little embarrassed and a little ashamed.

Pang Hui's forehead was even more dripping with fine sweat.

Wasn't this Cui nerd stupid before? Why is it that now it seems to be a different person, and even such an intriguing lantern riddle can be guessed.

In this case, don't we have to apologize to him?
