Chapter 243 The Daughter's Thoughts
Xi'er went for a quarter of an hour before returning. XsHuoTXt
She went empty-handed, but when she came back, she had a saucer with no teapot or bowl on it, only a teapot lid, and what seemed to be a very small thing underneath.
Under the guidance of the maid, she also stepped into the door, for fear of accidentally knocking over the saucer while walking.
From the look on her face, it is easy to guess that there is something valuable hidden inside.
In front of the piano table, Xi'er carefully put down the saucer, looked up at the people present, and her eyes were full of brilliance: "Ladies and gentlemen, the title of the slave family has been set, and it can be overthrown." ”
All eyes fell on the clasped teapot lid.
The teapot lid is very small, and the things that can be placed in it are not long, so it should be a small object, but this thing is not necessarily a personal thing for the daughter's family, because Xi'er is preparing it when she goes back to the room, and it may also be an item to decorate the room.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xi'er's face became even more emotional: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have said it in advance, there is only one chance." If you can't shoot, the slave will have to reveal the answer, and then you won't be invited to the room to talk about it. ”
Su Tong groaned slightly, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he looked at Shen Xi: "Brother Shen, are you still coming?" ”
Shen Xi said: "Brother Su is not afraid that all the limelight will be robbed by me today?" ”
Su Tong laughed and said: "If you can't do it, you can only sigh with admiration, if someone is jealous of Brother Shen because of this, you can only say that your strength is not enough." What do you think? ”
The scholars present were obviously very jealous in their hearts, but at this time they nodded to show their generosity.
Shen Xi began to calculate it decently, and at this moment, a scholar next to him hurriedly grabbed Bai, raised his hand and said, "I thought of it, Miss Xi'er, under this cover." Is it a box of rouge? ”
Xi'er frowned slightly, judging from this expression, it seemed that she had guessed correctly. But it's simply not right to think about it. The rouge box is small, but it also can't fit under the lid of the teapot.
Su Tong smiled and asked, "Could it be that Wu Gongzi also knows the art of being able to make a secret sky." Like Brother Shen, after a hexagram calculation, you got the result? ”
Wu Gongzi's old face was a little unbearable, and he lowered his head and said, "No, I'm guessing blindly." ”
Xi'er said at this time: "The topic set by the slave family, Wu Gongzi shot the wrong one. ”
Wu Gongzi sat down stupidly, and no one else spoke, the scope was too large. The chances are too small to be considered for a while. And Shen Xi had already raised his head, with a confident smile on his face, as if he had already guessed the final answer.
Xi'er was a little nervous after reading it: "If this kid really shoots, what if you want me to sweep the couch for a while?" After thinking about it again, "Fortunately, he didn't directly agree to the gambling contract just now, and he guessed that I would deny it, if he really dared to enter my room, I would give him some incense and let him sleep well." ”
The mind has been decided. She breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on her face: "Shen Gongzi is a bamboo in his chest, it seems that ...... The slave family is already in your pocket. ”
The look on his face was pitiful. And with a mouth-watering sense of beauty.
When the scholars present saw it, they couldn't help but move their index fingers.
Su Tong saw this situation and immediately said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you might as well shoot first, if you don't miss, how about letting Shen Gongzi come?" ”
Everyone thought so, even if they really didn't know what was inside, they could just guess first, and there was still a chance to shoot.
Start with Zheng Qian. In turn, they are all small objects of the usual daughter's house. Earrings, rings, sewing kits, etc., but none of them fit the ...... It's also these people who are stingy. Don't pave the way for others, just guess the object.
In the end, only Su Tong and Shen Xi were left, Su Tong was stunned, but he looked at Shen Xi and said: "Brother Shen, I won't shoot if I am a brother, and I will give you the opportunity." ”
Su Tong was worried about being able to enter Bixuan's room.
After all, Bi Xuan said "sweep the couch and wait", if Shen Xi also shoots this question, he can encourage Shen Xi to go to Xi'er's room, so that the two of them can "release their previous suspicions" and let Shen Xi leave the opportunity to enter Bi Xuan's room for him.
So even if he could guess correctly, he wouldn't guess.
At this time, everyone looked at Shen Xi and wanted to hear what Shen Xi had about his "high theory".
Xi'er looked at Shen Xi, her eyes were a little hot, but not enthusiastic. Her expression seemed to say, "You kid, if you dare to guess correctly, see how your aunt and grandmother clean you up." ”
Shen Xi smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I think this question is too simple, Miss Xi'er can only say too carelessly, expose the contents of the tea bowl, and see it at a glance without hexagrams." ”
Xi'er didn't even lower her head, and said confidently: "The slave family is tightly hidden, how can the object be exposed?" Shen Gongzi doesn't want to deceive the slave family. ”
Shen Xi was not sure just now, but from Xi'er's determined look, he was already convinced.
Xi'er was afraid of overturning when she entered the door, and after sitting down and putting it away, she was not afraid of revealing the filling, which can only be explained that the bottom of the teapot lid is empty, otherwise hearing what he said just now, with Xi'er's caution when she entered the door just now, it is impossible not to look down.
Shen Xi smiled: "Actually, this final answer can be seen by everyone. ”
Everyone was surprised, and Su Tong even stepped forward to check it out in person. The lid of the teapot was fastened very well, and there was no clue at all, and he didn't understand why Shen Xi said that everyone could see it.
But at this time, Xi'er was already a little nervous...... This tension seems inexplicable, but it actually confirms that Shen Xi's inference is correct.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Shen Xi said, "Can't you see that what is hidden under the lid of this bowl is a wooden saucer?" ”
"Huh?"
Everyone is shocked, think about it carefully, is this really the case? The lid of the teapot is fastened there, and the saucer is buttoned right under the bowl.
It makes perfect sense to say that saucer is a mystery.
Su Tong exclaimed: "Brother Shen, you are thoughtful, but if there is something hidden under this lid, you will be wrong." ”
Xi'er was also nervous at this time, she originally wanted to be opportunistic and teach Shen Xi a good lesson.
Aren't you going to pinch your fingers? I'll give you an empty one, see how you calculate, and I'll say that this saucer is the answer, so that you can get out of your embarrassment. But she never thought that Shen Xi would still be able to give the answer in one bite.
Xi'er was a little anxious at this time, she secretly thought: "No, if I want to open the lid and he sees that there is nothing underneath, I am embarrassed, see me take the opportunity to throw something in." ”
She asked herself if she was quick enough to throw things in without anyone noticing. It's like magic. The idea was good, but she didn't have anything right at hand, so she put her hand in her arms. I happened to touch a small piece of loose silver, and I was happy. When you board, you must prepare to open the cup with one hand and throw the silver into it with the other.
But he didn't want Shen Xi to press on the teapot lid first, and lifted the teapot lid.
Xi'er was caught off guard, and the broken silver in her hand was also thrown out.
“…… You see, is it as it says below? ”
Shen Xi lifted the lid of the teapot, and it was really empty underneath, but when he heard a "ding", the broken silver hit the teapot lid and fell to the ground, "Miss Xi'er." Your money is gone. ”
Xi'er was a thief, and her face flushed: "That...... That's not my money. ”
Shen Xi picked up the silver with a smile and put it in his arms: "That must have been dropped by the previous guest, I calculated before I went out today, there would be a small fortune, but I didn't expect it to be so accurate." ”
Xi'er didn't mention how embarrassed she was, she originally wanted to play a clever trick to treat Shen Xi and this group of sour Confucians, but she never thought that she would be tricked by Shen Xi when she turned around, and let her lose a few coins of silver, stealing chickens and rice. It made her feel ashamed.
Su Tong praised and said: "Brother Shen is really a god, and he admires my brother very much, it seems that Brother Shen today not only has financial luck." There are two more erotic encounters in front of me, but I don't know ...... Well, Brother Shen is going to go to Miss Xi'er's room to ask for flowers, or ...... What about going to Bixuan's room to ask the moon? ”
Shen Xi glanced at Xi'er, who was glaring at him unconvinced.
Shen Xi said: "It's almost time to go to the last watch, it's almost time to go back, otherwise you won't be able to leave after the curfew." ”
Su Tong smiled: "What if you can't go?" It's a big deal to spend the night here, drink and have fun, or maybe you can be accompanied by beautiful people. Brother Shen, you are even more sittingly beautiful, haha. Brother Shen. It's okay, you and Miss Xi'er had some misunderstandings before......"
Shen Xi didn't wait for Su Tong to continue. said directly: "Since I have a little time, I am willing to go to Miss Bixuan's room for a cup of tea before leaving." ”
Su Tong's face was slightly embarrassed, but he was not a stingy person, and nodded: "It's okay." ”
But I was thinking in my heart: "You went to Miss Bixuan's room, at most you had a cup of tea, and after I went in, it would be a good thing." However, entering Xi'er's room is not a happy thing. ”
He was about to say, but Xi'er glared at Shen Xi viciously: "The slave family is so unwelcome, sweeping the bed for Shen Gongzi, and Shen Gongzi refuses to move?" ”
Xi'er was originally worried that Shen Xi was going to enter her room, but now Shen Xi chose Bixuan instead of her, which made her extremely embarrassed, her daughter's family played a little temper, where to care about 3721, even her mind was very strange, she obviously didn't want to, but she was not chosen, and she was unwilling.
Shen Xi shook his head: "Just like Brother Su said, there is some misunderstanding with Miss Xi'er in Xia, and I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to enter the girl's room." ”
Xi'er stood up and flicked her sleeves: "You have the ability not to come for the rest of your life, see you again, I have to ...... you"
She wanted to say, "I'll dismantle you", but realized that this was not what a Fengyue woman should say, so she stopped talking and threw her sleeves away.
Su Tong took the opportunity to say, "Brother Shen, it seems that you should go and comfort Miss Xi'er, it is better than you go to Bixuan's room." ”
Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Brother Su, do you think I can come out of her room now?" ”
Su Tong smiled: "It's better than it." ”
Shen Xi's face showed a look of jealousy: "Don't touch the mold, I went to Miss Bixuan to ask for a cup of tea, and when I come back, I will leave here with Su Gongzi, it shouldn't take too much time." ”
Su Tong felt sorry in his heart, in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to say it too clearly. But Shen Xi is still a child, how can he know about this kind of thing if he doesn't tell the truth?
But he didn't know that Shen Xi didn't understand, he just didn't want to give Su Tong a chance.
Although there will be nothing between him and Bi Xuan, he can't let Su Tong harm the reputation of a girl's family.
Shen Xi also knew that since Bi Xuan had fallen into the dust, many things were inevitable, but she always needed time to adapt, and he could help Bi Xuan, that's all.
