Chapter 103: Wisdom Breaks Through the First Pass
"Uncle, in order to avoid missing the auspicious time of picking up relatives, each level is limited to one stick of incense, if my uncle really can't answer, then you can directly admit defeat. The update is the fastest and most stable, the eye > fast, a large number of novels are free to read. Xue'er looked at Li Yuntian with a smile, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
The people gathered around looked at Li Yuntian curiously when they heard this, waiting for his reply with great interest, and many of them couldn't help but laugh.
Li Yuntian was depressed when he saw this, he was sure that this would definitely not be Zhou Yuting's idea, Zhou Yuting was hearty by nature, if he wanted the power of his concubine, he would ask him directly, instead of making a comparison, it seems that this matter was done by others.
"Since this is what Miss meant, then I'm willing to give it a try." After a deep groan, Li Yuntian said to Xue'er happily, if he didn't compete, wouldn't he be underestimated by those people of the Zhou family, but he wanted to see what three levels of Wenbi those people had prepared.
Seeing that Li Yuntian agreed, Xue'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Uncle, one of the two roads on your left and right leads to the courtyard where my young lady lives."
Then, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the left and right sides of the road that crossed in front of the front yard gate, and said with a smile, "I can give you a hint, one of the two people behind me is telling the truth and the other is telling lies, can you find out which road leads to my young lady's yard in the time of a stick of incense." β
Li Yuntian looked behind Xue'er, and on the left and right stood a girl in blue clothes, standing there with her hands down.
According to Xue'er, one girl tells the truth and the other girl tells lies, if he chooses those two girls to ask for directions, then there is half a chance to choose the right path.
Originally, things should be like this, but Li Yuntian felt that Xue'er looked like he was winning, and immediately realized that things would not be as simple as he thought, maybe those two roads could lead to Zhou Yuting's residence.
In other words, there is no fixed answer to Xue'er's question, Li Yuntian has no way, Xue'er will say that he chose the wrong way, and then lead him to Zhou Yuting's yard from another way.
"Come on, light the incense!" Xue'er shouted at the subordinate on the side, and a servant brought a small incense burner, lit a stick of incense on it, and rose white smoke.
Xue'er looked at Li Yuntian with a sly face, wanting to see how he chose, and the people at the scene were buzzing and discussing, speculating about which door Li Yuntian should go through.
At the same time, Zhou Yuting's boudoir. The update is the fastest and most stable
Zhou Yuting, dressed in a red wedding dress, wearing a phoenix crown, and wearing a xia veil, sat on the edge of the **, surrounded by a group of young female dependents, chattering there.
"It's started, my uncle is already through the first level!" Suddenly, a maid ran into the house in a hurry and said in a coquettish voice.
"Sister-in-law, this is not good, will he lose face in front of everyone." When Zhou Yuting heard this, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and looked at a pretty young woman in her twenties in front of her.
As Li Yuntian expected, it was not Zhou Yuting's idea to break through the three levels, but the pretty young woman who came up with it, and this pretty young woman was Lu Sujuan, the wife of her eldest brother Zhou Yang.
"It's to kill his prestige and let him know that the young lady of our Houye's Mansion is not easy to bully." Lu Sujuan's willow eyebrows raised slightly, and she snorted coldly and said, "He has only been in Hukou County for more than a year, and he has accepted three concubines in succession, and he doesn't have you in the main room in his eyes, and in the long run, you won't be overshadowed by those little goblins in the back house!" β
"Sister-in-law, in fact, he is very good to me, and the green calyx is also very good to me, the last time he accepted Wanrou as a concubine, he still passed my consent, I think these three levels will be withdrawn!" Zhou Yuting knew that Lu Sujuan was for her good, but she didn't want Li Yuntian to be embarrassed, so she grabbed Lu Sujuan's hand and said coquettishly while shaking it.
"Alas, the woman didn't stay, and she spoke to him so quickly." Lu Sujuan laughed when she saw this, it was the first time she saw Zhou Yuting showing the shy demeanor of her little daughter, and couldn't help but reach out and gently poke her forehead, "It's too late to stop now, it's already started over there, maybe he has already begged for mercy." β
"Sister-in-law, you don't know this, although he usually looks very soft, but there is a sense of arrogance in his bones, and he has never admitted defeat." Zhou Yuting touched the poked part of her forehead, flashed her long eyelashes a few times, and said to Lu Sujuan with a smile, "He's so smart, I'm afraid your question can't help him." β
"Yuting, what kind of yankuai medicine did he give you, and you actually helped him talk like this." Lu Sujuan looked at Zhou Yuting with some surprise, she could see that Zhou Yuting was now full of trust in Li Yuntian.
"What I said is true, sister-in-law, do you want us to make a bet to see if he can pass this hurdle." Zhou Yuting's cheeks suddenly turned red and said with a smile.
"Okay, sister-in-law bets with you, if sister-in-law wins, you give the sword that your father gave you to sister-in-law, if sister-in-law loses, let Xue'er withdraw the next two levels." Lu Sujuan saw that Zhou Yuting was full of confidence, so she laughed, looked at Zhou Yuting with interest and said, "Do you dare to bet with your sister-in-law?" β
The sword in her mouth is the one that Zhou Yuting usually wears, it is Zhou Yuting's beloved thing, it can be said that she can't put it down, Lu Sujuan wants to see if Zhou Yuting is reluctant to bet with that sword.
"Hmmm! Bet. Zhou Yuting pondered for a moment, then nodded at Lu Sujuan, smiled, and said in high spirits, "However, if my sister-in-law loses the last two levels, she doesn't have to withdraw, I believe he can break through!" β
"Yuting, he is doomed, no matter which path he chooses, Xue'er will say that he chose the wrong one." Lu Sujuan giggled when she heard this, and revealed the mystery to Zhou Yuting with some pride.
Zhou Yuting couldn't help but be taken aback, she never expected Lu Sujuan to cheat, her face suddenly showed worry, and she bit her lip, hoping that Li Yuntian could see this trap.
The news that Li Yuntian was going to break through the three levels also spread to Zhou Zheng and other elders of the Zhou family, and everyone felt strange when they heard that Zhou Yuting had set up a three-level Wenbi for Li Yuntian.
If the ordinary bride does this, she will definitely attract a lot of criticism, thinking that if she loses the etiquette of being a wife, how can she make it difficult for the groom in receiving kisses.
However, Zhou Yuting's status is noble, not only the daughter of the Hou Ye Mansion, but also the Yingrui County Lord personally appointed by Emperor Yongle, which can be called a golden branch and jade leaf, and there is nothing wrong with her setting up rules for Li Yuntian, it seems logical.
Zhou Zheng sat there and sipped the tea slowly, in fact, the idea of setting up three levels was his idea, otherwise, how could Lu Sujuan, a woman's family, embarrass the future Jinshi aunt of the Zhou family?
He did this with good intentions, originally he thought that Li Yuntian was a nerd, and when the time came, the Li family would definitely have the final say on Zhou Yuting.
But later, after learning about Li Yuntian's affairs in Hukou County, Zhou Zheng realized that he had mistaken Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian was not as unbearable as he imagined, otherwise how could he make such a big move.
What's especially bad is that from the letter Xue'er wrote to the Marquis Mansion in the capital, he found that Zhou Yuting had nothing to do with Li Yuntian, and every time she quarreled, she was half killed by Li Yuntian, and it was obvious that she was not Li Yuntian's opponent.
In addition, Li Yuntian accepted a three-room concubine in Hukou County in one go, Zhou Zheng naturally has to worry about Zhou Yuting in the future, he is alive now It's okay to say, once he dies, then who can protect Zhou Yuting, who is simple by nature and kind at heart? Therefore, he wants to give Li Yuntian a dismount and establish Zhou Yuting's prestige in the Li family.
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Li Yuntian's brows frowned slightly, and then his eyebrows widened, and he quietly walked to the green-clothed girl ring standing on the right behind Xue'er.
Seeing this, the discussion at the scene suddenly quieted down, and people looked over in unison, wondering if Li Yuntian would choose this way.
"If I asked her which way leads to your lady's yard, how would she answer me?" Coming to the Yahuan on the right, Li Yuntian glanced at the Yahuan on the left and asked quietly.
"The road on her side leads to my young lady's yard." The girl on the right heard the words and replied in an orderly manner.
Lu Sujuan had already confessed, no matter which of the two maid rings Li Yuntian asked, he would say that the road on his side led to Zhou Yuting's residence.
"This road leads to your young lady's yard!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, pointed to the road behind Yahuan on the right and said to Xue'er.
"Uncle, you guessed wrong, she is telling the truth, and the road over there is the road that leads to my young lady's yard." Xue'er smiled, shook her head at Li Yuntian, and pointed to the road behind Yahuan on the left and said, her eyes full of cunning.
The people around couldn't help but sigh when they heard this, they didn't expect Li Yuntian to choose the wrong path, wouldn't he lose, and the power to take concubines in the future would be in Zhou Yuting's hands?
"Xue'er, you sue Aunt SΓΉ, if she says the truth, then does the other one tell the truth or not?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly and looked at Xue'er unhurriedly.
"Of course that's a lie......" Cher replied without thinking, and then she seemed to realize something, and she couldn't help but froze there.
Li Yuntian did not directly ask the two Yahuan for directions, but asked one of them about the choice of the road, and since the answers of the two Yahuans were true and false, no matter which of the two Yahuan Li Yuntian asked, the answer he got was false.
Therefore, if he chooses the opposite path to the answer, then it must be the right path, which makes Cher unable to rely on it.
Wow!
The people at the scene finally understood at this time, and Li Yuntian used exquisite reasoning to break the trap set by Xue'er, so they applauded one after another.
Li Yuntian smiled and arched his hand to the people around him, his face was filled with a hint of smugness, this kind of problem is simply pediatrics, he can solve it without much effort, and if he wants to fight with him, the instructive behind the scenes is still a little too tender.
"Uncle, please!" Xue'er saw that Li Yuntian had exposed her lies, her cheeks couldn't help but turn crimson, she bit her lip and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yuntian, leading Li Yuntian to the right side of the road.
In fact, whether it is the road on the left or the right, it can lead to the courtyard where Zhou Yuting is located, this situation is not exquisite, but it is a pity that when he met Li Yuntian, he was resolved in a moment. One
