Chapter 10: Nursery Rhymes and Riddles

Back in the large guest room, Wen Manman noticed that she was still holding a book in her hand, and she forgot to put it back in the bookshelf just now. The eyes casually look at the surface of the book cover.

It's a very thick hardcover book, with a leather cover, and it looks like it's still the first edition or something, anyway, there are instructions on the spine, and Wen Manman didn't look at it carefully.

She sat down on an empty chair opposite Qin Sen, which was just near the edge of the grand piano in the guest room, and she could touch the piano with a slight turn.

Tao Muqing beside her asked her, "What book?" ”

"Well..."Encyclopedia of Nursery Rhymes of Various Countries," replied Wen Manman.

Unexpectedly, the summer tomatoes on the other side suddenly leaned into Wen Manman's ear and said sourly: "How is it?" Did you get a head start? You're so daring! ”

"What do you say?!" Wen Manman immediately replied to her with a look of surprise. However, she quickly understood why Xia Tomato asked this, because the girl's face showed an expression of envy and jealousy.

Xia Tomato is usually not hypocritical, but she usually likes Yun Yeyao the most, but she is a fan but she didn't talk to her idol because she didn't have the courage to do so, so her heart naturally became sour.

Wen Manman was amused by her unhappy face, and said casually: "I'll help you get to know each other later, but then it's up to you!" The mind of a big star is not so elusive. ”

"Really? Thank you, please have dinner when you go back! Xia Tomato was very happy to see that Wen Manman, who was usually not smiling, responded to him so positively, and immediately said in a small whisper. There was a smile on his face.

These conversations were all listened to by Yun Yeyao, who was sitting at the table next to him, and the actor only smiled slightly wryly, and did not react otherwise, he was slightly cold because of the cold weather, and the warm coffee flowing into his throat made him very comfortable.

After taking two sips, Yun Yeyao suddenly felt that something was wrong, the coffee was still as hot as if it had just been brewed, and then looked at the cups in the hands of others, although they were in the air-conditioned room, they were no longer emitting white gas.

The doubts in his heart instantly turned into some speculations, Yun Ye looked at the people in a certain position at the same table, the good-looking eyebrows first wrinkled, and then stretched out in an instant, and finally actually avoided his gaze, picked up the coffee cup and poured a big sip.

Xiao Yaya on the side said kindly: "Mr. Yun, drink slowly, your coffee has just been reheated by the maid, so it is very hot." ”

"Ahh Thank you ......."

With some resentment and helplessness in his heart, Yun Yeyao hurriedly thanked him, and the brown coffee stains overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and were immediately wiped off by the paper towel in his hand.

At this time, the people at the opposite table were discussing the contents of the "Encyclopedia of Nursery Rhymes of Various Countries", and they seemed to have found some very famous nursery rhymes, and the discussion was very interested.

Everyone had a total of two tables in the living room, both of which were close to the door of the master room, so they couldn't be too loud, but the discussion still attracted the attention of all the people at Yun Yeyao's table.

Yao Muqing handed the book from her hand to Grandma Tang, who was closest to her, and said, "Grandma, if you are interested, take a look." ”

"Yes! I'm going to read it. After taking the book, Grandma Tang put on her reading glasses and began to read the contents of the page.

Grandma Tang's voice was not loud, but it was more deep and emotional than ordinary people, and everyone fell silent all of a sudden.

"Hmm... I see, it's all some very famous nursery rhymes. The name of the first song is 'Lu', and the author is unknown. ”

"Qianlicao, He Zhangqing; Qianlicao, He Qingqing; Ten days, no life. - This song must be a satire on the social situation at that time! I remember it was like a riddle, 'Thousand Miles' and 'Decamenia' each refer to one word, and they add up to a person's name in ancient times, so you can guess who it is? ”

Grandma Tang said with a sale, and immediately the young people began to discuss it.

Meng Qi'er spoke first, but a lot of what she said didn't match the answer at all, so she was very discouraged and gave up the right to speak to others. And Wen Manman said in one sentence to the first word: "The thousands of miles of 'Qianli Cao' add up to a 'heavy' word, plus the grass prefix, it is the word 'Dong', right?" ”

"Little girl, you've probably seen this nursery rhyme! Otherwise, how could it be answered so quickly? Grandma Tang asked.

"Yes, I've seen it online before, but that was years ago, and the next ......," Weinman generously admitted.

"Don't say it yet, don't say it yet, I'll guess," Liu Hang interrupted Wen Manman's words and hurriedly said: "The sum of the ten days and the sun can be the 'morning' of the morning, but what is the function of that divination?" ”

"Do you think about where you can put it in the morning?" Wen Manman reminded Liu Hang, but without his grandfather's strength, Liu Qiaopu said: "Stupid! I don't even know about this! ”

"Ah~ Then grandpa, you can talk about it..."Liu Hang looked at his grandfather with bright eyes, he wanted to give his grandfather a chance to show off, but he didn't expect the old man's face to turn red all of a sudden, and he almost squirted a mouthful of coffee on his face, and said angrily: "You guess for yourself!" ”

"Alas! It turns out that grandpa is not much better than me! Liu Hang deliberately teased, a very simple riddle was used by them like this, and the atmosphere was suddenly a lot more relaxed, and everyone laughed.

Liu Qiaopu glared at his grandson fiercely, ignored him and drank coffee by himself.

Grandma Tang saw that it was almost over, and said: "It's a 'Zhuo' character, so it says, 'Thousand miles of grass, ten days; 'On behalf of Dong Zhuo. ”

"Ahh I see! Among all the people, only Meng Qi'er exclaimed, and the others all had clear expressions, because the mystery of this nursery rhyme is indeed not difficult to guess, and anyone who knows a little bit about word splitting can imagine it.
