Chapter 241: Eager to Win
At this time, Shen Xi became the focus of attention on the scene, because he guessed the handkerchief hidden by Bi Xuan without much effort in the first round, and even Bi Xuan and Xi'er and other daughters were paying attention, wondering if he really had "magical powers".
Shen Xi groaned slightly, and said with a slight smile: "Inside is a thimble." ”
Su Tong's eyes widened: "What is a thimble?" ”
The so-called thimble is worn on the hand by women when they are doing embroidery, and it is used to use the thimble tail so as not to hurt their fingers.
Normally, as long as a woman can sew, she will use a thimble, but Su Tong, a person who never cares about female popularity, has never even heard of it.
Shen Xi didn't explain, and someone next to him had already explained the role of this thing to Su Tong.
Su Tong nodded and looked at Bi Xuan.
Bi Xuan's face turned red again, and she lifted the bowl she was holding: "That's right." ”
The words were concise and to the point, and surprised those present.
Shen Xi shot Bi Xuan twice in a row, the question can no longer be explained by coincidence, just now many people noticed that Shen Xi did not turn his head to peek, they naturally did not believe that Shen Xi guessed the answer through his intelligence, in their opinion, it must be Bi Xuan who was afraid of losing, so he discussed it with Shen Xi in advance.
Bi Xuan walked over with a thimble, respectfully handed it forward and said, "Small objects, it's not worth much, and I hope Shen Gongzi won't be surprised." ”
Shen Xi took it, nodded with a smile, and didn't talk to Bi Xuan. But even so, many of the scholars present were already looking at Shen Xi with slightly vicious eyes.
Cheating is still so proud, this pair of dogs and men and women......
Su Tong seemed very generous, waved his hand and said, "Come, let's punish ourselves first, and this time we will change people to set the question." It's up to Miss Xi'er to play, how about it? ”
Of course the crowd would be happy.
was shot by Shen Xi twice in a row, and they all felt that Bi Xuan had colluded with Shen Xi, so this time they didn't even ask how Shen Xi shot the question, so they hurriedly urged to come to the next one.
Bi Xuan came out from behind the piano table and did not come to refill the wine, but sat on the side. It seems quiet and peaceful. Xi'er got up, and after Lianbu arrived at the piano table, she had a wise smile on her face: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing else on the slave family. This is the topic to be set, don't dislike it. ”
Su Tong said with a smile: "Miss Xi'er is too worried, as long as it is your personal thing, I think everyone here will gladly accept it." Please set a question. So saying, he told the people to turn around.
Half an hour later. Xi'er said: "The topic is set." ”
Everyone turned around and came back, and this time Xi'er didn't use the bowl to buckle it, but hid her title in a wooden box, so that people felt that it should be a "big guy" at a glance.
Everyone's eyes first fell on Xi'er's appearance and clothing, and only after realizing that what she exposed was not different from before, did she begin to frown and ponder.
If it is not an external decoration, then it must be a "personal thing"......
Su Tong didn't need others to come first this time, so he took the lead in speaking: "Throw bricks and lead jade...... This question is Miss Xi'er's sachet, right? ”
Some of the people next to him were already muttering in their hearts.
The personal things of the daughter's family are handkerchiefs and sachets. The scope is very narrow, this time Su Tong didn't ask about the five elements of yin and yang, but went directly to shoot specific objects, and he didn't want to pave the way for others.
However, this kind of topic does not necessarily have to be foreshadowed by anyone.
Xi'er looked at Su Tong with an innocent face: "Young Master Su, how could you not answer correctly?" The slave family originally thought that Su Gongzi was the one who knew Xi'er's mind the most, but it turned out that ...... Xi'er felt so sad in her heart. ”
Su Tong listened to it and his bones were almost crispy, this Xi'er's charm is indeed very strong, beating snakes and hitting seven inches, Xi'er has a good grasp of men's psychology. This can only be said that Yu Niang is well trained on weekdays.
Su Tong didn't guess right, Zheng Qian immediately jumped out second, he also didn't plan to sacrifice himself for others, and said directly: "Here." But a handkerchief? ”
Xi'er shook her head with a Chu Chu gaze, which made Zheng Qian, who was originally quite interested, immediately droop his head: "How can it be wrong?" ”
A scholar surnamed Yu next to him smiled and said: "Brother Su, Brother Zheng, you see that Miss Xi'er especially wants to change into a wooden box to hold this thing, you should know that the object is very large, how can it be a sachet and a handkerchief?" I guess. It must be Miss Xi'er's dirty clothes inside, I don't know if you can guess it right? ”
Rao is Xi'er wants to show her softness in front of people, but she is actually very rude in her heart, and her face shows a slight anger when she hears this. In the end, she still suppressed the anger in her heart, lowered her head aggrievedly, and said: "This son is so abrupt, how could Xi'er take out such an indecent thing and put it inside?" ”
Su Tong also frowned and said, "Young Master Yu, who are you to be a Xi'er girl?" You said that there were profane clothes inside, it doesn't mean that when we turned our backs, Miss Xi'er put the profane clothes on our bodies in front of so many people...... Untie it down and put it in? ”
His words sounded like blaming Yu Gongzi, but he was actually teasing Xi'er. Xi'er's face was embarrassed: "Su Gongzi is a good student and can bully people." ”
The first three didn't hit the question, and the chances of the back were much greater, but after guessing up and down, none of them shot right. In the end, everyone looked at Shen Xi again, and Su Daodao: "Brother Shen, it's up to you again." Don't teach me to be disappointed. ”
Shen Xi didn't guess this time, and directly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "I'll punish myself with a cup." ”
Some people thought indignantly: "Stinky boy, let you secretly communicate with Bixuan, and now that you have changed Xi'er, you have no way, right?" ”
After the first round, no one guessed correctly, Xi'er had the right to choose whether to reveal the answer or go to the second round, she seemed to be very confident in the questions she set, and the first round of everyone was a clueless guess, so she naturally extended the question to the second round.
In the second round, everyone seemed to be much more united.
Start with the five elements of yin and yang, determine that it belongs to "water", and then narrow it down to "things commonly used by my daughter's family", "Bixuan will also bring it on her body", "worthless", and after a circle, there is still not too much clue.
Soon, it was Shen Xi's turn in the second round.
Su Daodao: "Brother Shen, you shot at Miss Bixuan twice before, but now you don't shoot, which will inevitably lead to reverie." Anyway, you should have shot this question. ”
Only then did Shen Xi nod: "Then I'll shoot, inside is a hair of Miss Xi'er." ”
"Haha."
Some of the scholars present couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The smugness and charm on Xi'er's face quickly disappeared, replaced by an unbelievable consternation. After she subconsciously shouted, everyone turned their heads to look at her: "Miss Xi'er, right?" ”
Xi'er's face was full of reluctance: "Yes...... That's right. ”
As she spoke, she opened the wooden box, and it looked empty, but she reached inside, fumbled for it, and pulled out a hair, but even with their eyes wide open, they could see nothing.
The laughing scholar was a little unconvinced: "This hair, it is said that Bixuan will have it, and it is not worth any silver, but it can be said to be a round thing, and it is still water, how to explain it?" Shen Gongzi, didn't you hook up with the girls here before, and sincerely entertain me, right? ”
Su Tong hurriedly said and said: "Young Master Yu, you can't wronged Brother Shen just because you lost a few battles, today is a pastime, not a loss of house and land, and a sip of wine if you lose, how comfortable is it for everyone to talk and laugh together?" But Brother Shen, Brother Wei is also a little curious, how did you come up with this answer through the previous question? ”
Not only Yu Gongzi was angry, but even the Gongzi brother next to him was also discussing, feeling that Shen Xi's cheating was too obvious, and the final answer did not match what they asked before.
Shen Xi said: "This hair seems to be a long thing, but has Yu Gongzi noticed that the horizontal surface of the hair is round?" ”
"This ......"
Yu Gongzi was originally angry, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, hair can indeed be said to be a round thing, "Even if it makes sense, hair is like grass mustard, it should belong to the five elements of wood, how can it belong to water?" ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "Your Excellency, have you ever heard that your daughter's temperament is like water, gentle like water, all related to this water word, and some people even say, 'Daughter is flesh and blood made of water', so how can the hair of the daughter's family not belong to water?" ”
In a word, it aroused the reverie of those present.
"The daughter is the flesh and blood of the water", although it is not a poem, but it sounds beautiful, this is from Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" written hundreds of years later, how can people today have heard such philosophical and poetic witty words? Even the women present, including Xi'er and Bixuan, were also savoring the artistic conception of this sentence.
Su Tong looked at Xi'er and said, "Miss Xi'er thinks the same way?" ”
Xi'er's face turned red, but she didn't hide it: "I'm ...... I just couldn't think of which line of the five elements this hair belonged to, so I said it casually, but I never thought that Shen Gongzi would say it so movingly, I admitted defeat. ”
As she spoke, she got up, took her hair, walked up to Shen Xi and said, "Young Master Su, this thing belongs to you." ”
Shen Xi didn't reach out to take it, he took a handkerchief, or a thimble, which has a certain collection value, what is the matter with one of Xi'er's hair?
Su Tong laughed: "It seems that Brother Shen doesn't appreciate it, Miss Xi'er, you are ...... Is it too light, if you want to send it, you should also send more. ”
Xi'er was a little distressed on her face, but she seemed to be ruthless, and suddenly grabbed a few of her hairs and dragged them down together, each with a hair root: "It's always okay like this, right?" ”
Su Tong saw that Shen Xi had a look of avoidance on his face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "If Brother Shen doesn't accept it, it will be a bit of a loss of face for Miss Xi'er." ”
Shen Xi had no choice but to take the hair handed over by Xi'er and put it in his arms casually, as for whether it was lost or what, he didn't really want to pay attention to it.
After Xi'er found out, her face was a little embarrassed, but she didn't have a seizure on the spot, but came over to toast Su Tong and Shen Xi with tea.
Because Shen Xi was too "demonic" in shooting, in the next few rounds, other girls came out to set questions, but Shen Xi deliberately avoided answering.
And the questions set by these girls are many usual, and they were guessed before they passed the first round, which is equivalent to calming the mentality of the scholars present.
