Chapter 15: The Oiran Contest (5)
This third competition is a poetry guessing fan, within the specified time, the three beauties, who guesses correctly, who wins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info title was prepared a long time ago, put it in a tray, brought it up, and was read out in public by Jin Shicheng, one of the four sons of Yangzhou.
Jin Shicheng opened the blank paper with the title written on it, and recited it aloud: "Come downstairs, the money will fall; Ask the sky, where are the people? hated the king and grandson, and went all the way; Wrongdoers, there is no return. I regret that at the beginning, I missed my mouth, and I handed it in but did not hand it in. Why ask? Don't use a knife to separate, don't rely on the enemy from now on, and a thousand kinds of lovesickness will be wiped off. After reading it, he ordered someone to light a stick of incense.
Li Lingyu and Yang Huijuan frowned and thought hard, when a stick of incense burned halfway, their brows stretched out, and they wrote their answers on a blank piece of paper, but Li Lizhen couldn't guess until all the incense was burned, so she was naturally eliminated!
Jin Shicheng ordered people to write two pieces of paper with answers, presented, unfolded and looked, with a happy face, the answer was publicized to everyone, two blank papers, are written: "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten" ten numbers, but it is the mystery of this poem riddle.
Lin Yi was greatly impressed, Sister Yang and Li Lingyu of the group of Fanglou are really a generation of talented women, with quick thinking, such a difficult anagram, she is like reading a book from heaven, but the two beauties only used half a stick of incense to guess it, it is really amazing!
was admiring himself, only to see Jin Shicheng and the other three sons, whispering a few words, Jin Shicheng turned around and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, took a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote a poem, and ordered someone to hold it high and show it to everyone present, but this is another poem riddle: "The towering ancient temple is in the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many monks there are in the temple." Three hundred and sixty-four bowls, see if you are exhausted, three people eat a bowl of rice, four people eat a bowl of soup, please ask Mr. Calculation, count how many monks in the temple. ”
No way! This is an interesting arithmetic problem, which tests the arithmetic ability of the beauties, and immediately Yang Huijuan and Li Lingyu frowned, thought about it carefully, and watched the lit incense go down little by little, but the two of them did not move their pen for a long time. The literati in the pavilion also frowned one by one and thought hard. The ancients were good at poetry and light on arithmetic, but this problem was not something that could be done in a while!
Ha! This question is a piece of cake for us, just list an equation and solve it immediately. We are people who have scored high in mathematics in the college entrance examination, like this kind of pediatric thing, but with mental arithmetic, you can also know the answer! Lin Yi thought slightly in his heart, he had already calculated the answer, his face showed joy, he raised his eyes and saw that Sister Yang, who he liked, was still looking down and thinking, and secretly thought in his heart: "If Sister Yang loses again in this competition, I am afraid that she will be carried by Li Sima to pick up guests, after all, she is kind to me, whether she is willing to let me redeem her after the game or not, I can help her!" turned around and gently called Qiu Ju over, and gently told her the answer in her ear, Qiu Ju's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, took a cup of tea and stepped forward, put it beside her own lady, and then immediately retreated.
To be able to calculate the answer in a very short time was simply unthinkable to the ancients. As soon as Jin Shicheng finished reading the question here, Qiu Ju took the tea and left quickly, so no one doubted this matter. At the moment before a stick of incense was about to burn, Yang Huijuan calmly picked up the pen, wrote down a few numbers, and handed them in. But Li Lingyu picked up the pen and hesitated, gritted her teeth and wrote a few numbers on the white paper and presented them.
Jin Shicheng opened the answers of the two separately and looked at them, smiled, glanced at Lin Yi casually, and loudly announced that the answer was six hundred and twenty-four monks, Yang Huijuan of Yihong Academy!
This contest was won! The score is finally tied! The girls here in Yihong Courtyard were immediately jubilant, laughing and jumping around Yang Huijuan, and several sisters with fragile feelings cried out softly excitedly! Yang Huijuan also had a smile on her face, and secretly threw a grateful look at Lin Yi.
The eight referees bumped into each other and discussed privately, and then Li Zhifu loudly announced that this year's Yangzhou Mansion Oiran Competition was officially over, with Li Lingyu and Yang Huijuan tied for the first place, and Li Lizhen was the second place. Everyone congratulated the two Yang Huijuan and Li Lingyu!
Lin Yi smiled and quietly left the competition venue, this year's Oiran competition is finally over, Sister Yang also got her wish and won the first place, naturally there is no need to worry about being carried by Li Sima to pick up guests? Let's hurry up and greet the lottery outside the park and earn our money! In the future, we will mix in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we will count on the money earned from the lottery issuance! Sister Yang, I can't bless you, forgive your sins! Forgiveness! Lin Yi thought as he hurriedly ran outside.
This Oiran competition, produced two tied for the first place of the Oiran, the lottery venue outside the gate of the park is also a jubilation, the second round of lottery first prize winner also produced, but it is an old talent in his fifties, he will be a person alone to win 5,000 yuan, the old man excited immediately fell on the podium, hands and feet twitched, foaming at the mouth, but fainted! In a panic, Lin Yi and Master Wang waited for a group of people, pinching people, pouring cold water, and a lot of busy work before rescuing him. In order to prevent the old man from fainting again, and in order to prevent someone from getting rich and robbing him halfway, Lin Yi sent four officials to send Lao Xiucai back to his house with the lottery money.
Damn it! Scared the baby to death! issued a lottery ticket, and almost caused us to get into a life lawsuit? What if the old man really died? Aren't we doing the harm? Lin Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stroked his hearty liver that was pounding and beating, and tried his best to calm his mood. was standing on the stage with Master Wang gossiping, but saw Li Zhifu and the other seven referees walking towards him together.
Lin Yi hurriedly got off the stage with Master Wang, grabbed a few steps, and reported the good news to Governor Li: "My lord! The lottery was issued very smoothly and the lottery was successfully concluded! There was a hint of joy in his tone.
Governor Li looked at him with his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Wang Shi, you did a good job this time, you will come to the back hall of the mansion later, and the mansion will fulfill the promise made to you at the beginning!" ”
Ha! I can finally get paid for our lottery tickets! It's not in vain that we run around! Lin Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and thanked Governor Li.
The four sons of Yangzhou glanced at each other, pushed a bright smile on their faces, rushed forward together, surrounded Lin Yi in the middle, Bian Zhenshan reached out and hugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "This Oiran competition, our four sons of Yangzhou are the happiest, I can't imagine that I have a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in Yangzhou City, and I don't hide a young talent like you, from now on, you will be our brother!" We are the five sons of Yangzhou Mansion! Brothers work together to make a name for our Yangzhou City! ”
Jin Shicheng said loudly: "Fifth brother! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, even if you tell our four eldest brothers, the four of us are all meritorious people, can't we cover you? Today's brothers in the Oiran competition, the poetry is right, the writing is brilliant, especially the last interesting arithmetic problem, it took our four eldest brothers three days to figure it out, and you only frowned, you can figure out the answer, this talent, is really amazing! As he spoke, he gave him a thumbs up and complimented him!
Lin Yi looked around nervously, and saw that Li Sima was not in front of him, so he was relieved. No way! This big brother Kim! Do you dare to say this kind of cheating in public? But if you really have you, aren't you afraid of extraneous branches? And when did I agree to be your fifth brother? And call me the fifth son of Yangzhou? Are we a little turtle slave who does chores in Yihong Courtyard? So dare to climb you? But hey, hey! I, Lin Yi, have just come to Chadao, and I need someone to support me, and with your help, it is estimated that it will be easier to make a living in this Yangzhou city in the future. At the moment, Lin Yi did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Since the four eldest brothers don't dislike it, please take care of it in the future!" ”
Jin Shicheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and laughed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" In the future, if there is a difficulty, even if you come to the house to find us. Li Minwen and the other three also looked very happy. Just as he was saying that he was happy, he saw Liu Wubian and Li Xuebing walking side by side in front of Lin Yi, Liu Wubian smiled and said: "Little brother, Miss Xuebing and I will go back to the capital tomorrow, and on the fifth day of April next year, the annual Oiran Contest will also be held in the capital. ”
What! There is also an Oiran contest in the capital, but I'm afraid that there will be more beauties at that time, so we're too willing to go! It's just that what if we and Sister Yang become husband and wife? With a wife in charge, it will be a little inappropriate to appreciate beautiful women in the open, right? Lin Yi was still thinking, but the four princes on the side were all happy, Jin Shicheng patted his chest and said: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, our five sons in Yangzhou will definitely go on time!" ”
Ha! What four good big brothers! Even you take care of my wife's affairs, aren't you afraid that your five brothers and sisters won't give you a good face in the future? Lin Yi had a smile on his face, wanting to excuse himself, but he couldn't say anything.
Li Xuebing smiled beside him, and said softly: "My sister is also waiting in the capital, if you go to the capital, you can come to Lanzhuyuan to find me!" Speaking of this, he took a string of red agate bracelets from his wrist and gently placed them in Lin Yi's palm, but looked at him with his eyes, and said softly: "You show my bracelet to the gatekeeper, and they will take you to find your sister?" You must come! With that, he threw a wink at him, and turned around with Liu Wuchang to leave. walked more than 20 steps, but suddenly turned around, looked at Lin Yi with those beautiful big eyes, saw that he was looking at himself stupidly, smiled on his face, turned his head, and went all the way!
Wow! The beauty gave me such a valuable thing, could it be that she saw me and took the opportunity to give me a token of love? Lin Yi was holding a string of agate bracelets in his hand, and he began to think about it for a while.
