Chapter 32: The Lantern Festival Puzzle
"Sister, I don't want to eat it, my mother said that eating too much sugar gourd will cause a toothache, you have to tell my mother, I have to listen to her!" Suddenly, Zhao Wenxi opened his mouth and said seriously.
Zhao Siyan lowered his head and glanced at him, Zhao Wenxi suddenly walked between the two, separating Gu Chenfeng and Zhao Siyin, and Zhao Wenxi also gave Zhao Siyan a warning look.
Zhao Siyan didn't seem to see his movements, and didn't pick up the sugar gourd in the hawker's hand, and the hawker was a little embarrassed.
"Why didn't Gu Gongzi stay with his eldest brother?" Zhao Siyan asked puzzled.
"There were too many people, I accidentally got separated from them, and I just happened to see you." Gu Chenfeng said with a smile.
Zhao Siyan nodded, reluctant to have more contact with him, and then said: "Let's go find the eldest brother and them, Gu Gongzi is separated, and the eldest brother must be very anxious." ”
"Don't worry, there are so many people in this market, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, the left and right have already said that they will meet at the street corner, and it will be difficult to get out, take Wen Xi to have a good stroll first, and then meet them when the time comes." Gu Chenfeng said gently, and as he spoke, he looked at Zhao Wenxi: "I heard that there is a trick in front of me, do you want to go and see it?" ”
Zhao Wenxi suddenly hesitated, he turned his head to look at his sister, and thought about the attraction of the trick again, before he made up his mind and said, "I, I listen to my sister!" ”
Zhao Wenxi obviously thought, it was difficult for him to come out of it, how could a child not like to play?
Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and said: "Then go to the front, I heard that the Sun family has prepared a lantern array this year, saying that it is different from previous years, it should be a little different, Gu Gongzi might as well try it?" ”
The Sun family is the richest man in Dengzhou, Sun Fugui.
Gu Chenfeng paused, glanced at Zhao Siyan meaningfully, and then nodded with a light smile: "Okay." ”
Such a lively, I think Zhao Wenyu and others will not miss it, go there, you will definitely meet Zhao Wenyu and others, it seems that Zhao Siyan is a little avoidant of him.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenfeng couldn't help but touch his nose, he seemed to be hated?
The most crowded place is the lantern array placed by the Sun family, I heard that there is a lantern array, Zhao Wenxi didn't want to see any tricks, and dragged Zhao Siyan to the front, Zhao Siyan held his hand tightly, and was worried that he would be lost.
Gu Chenfeng took a step forward and grabbed Zhao Wenxi's other hand, the bear child was very unconvinced, and wanted to shake him off.
"There are a lot of people, what if your sister can't hold you and gets lost?" Gu Chenfeng said with a straight face.
Zhao Siyan was a little hesitant when she heard this, thinking that even if she let the green lotus pull it, it would be better than Gu Chenfeng pulling Zhao Wenxun, but Gu Chenfeng had already held Zhao Wenxun's hand, and if she let go, it would be a little deliberate.
Yun Cui took a step forward at this time, "Miss, are you tired of pulling the young master?" Take him with you. ”
Yun Cui had a calm personality and handed over Zhao Wenxi to her, and Zhao Siyan was also relieved, so Zhao Wenxi was handed over to Yun Cui.
Zhao Wenxi: "??? "Who snatched his sister?
Gu Chenfeng: "......" He was sure that he was indeed hated.
A few people walked towards the Sun family's light array, and as soon as they walked nearby, they saw Zhao Wenyu and others, Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying looked annoyed, they didn't expect Gu Chenfeng to be separated from them, and they didn't have the heart to look at any light array, but Zhao Wenyu was very interested in this light array, so he still brought them over.
"Look, it's Brother Gu! I'll just say that Brother Gu will also be interested in the Lantern Array, and we will definitely meet him here! Zhao Wenyu said happily.
Although they found Gu Chenfeng, Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying were not happy at all, because they also saw Zhao Siyan beside Gu Chenfeng, how could the two of them come together? Especially looking at Gu Chenfeng still holding Zhao Wenxi's hand?
Chen Wanying's pretty face sank, and she looked at Zhao Siyan with cold eyes, and Zhao Siyin's face was also a little unsightly.
"In a blink of an eye, I didn't see Gu Gongzi, but I didn't expect Gu Gongzi to go to find the third sister." Zhao Siyinqiang said with a smile.
Gu Chenfeng said lightly: "I was separated from you, I originally wanted to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet the third young lady, so I came to look for you with her." ”
Gu Chenfeng's explanation, Chen Wanying's expression looked a lot better: "It turned out to be just a coincidence!" ”
She deliberately emphasized the word coincidence, and deliberately told Zhao Siyan not to think that Gu Chenfeng was looking for her on purpose, so as not to have other thoughts.
Zhao Siyan knew what she meant, so she just smiled bitterly and didn't say much, because Zhao Wenxi was already clamoring to see the lantern array.
Several people were gorgeously dressed, with extraordinary bearing, and there were maids and women by their side, and they were from rich and noble backgrounds at a glance, and ordinary people did not dare to come forward to crowd with them, so they gave way to make a way, and several people walked smoothly.
The Sun family is worthy of being the richest man, and this time the lamp array is extremely exquisite and luxurious, that is, Zhao Siyan nodded secretly when he saw it, and the Sun family has indeed made a lot of money.
A few lanterns as a color head are indeed exquisite, the largest color head lantern, the wick is actually made of night pearls, although it is only a small one, but it is also a night pearl, and it is also worth a lot.
Zhao Siyin took a fancy to it at a glance, and before she could speak, Chen Wanying said approvingly: "That lantern is so beautiful!" There was a hint of longing in his eyes.
Zhao Siyin also nodded: "It's really good-looking and exquisite," she said, she looked at Zhao Wenyu with a smile: "Big brother might as well go up and give it a try, Caitou is second, I heard that the topic prepared by the Sun family is not easy, and the eldest brother goes to solve the problem, which is also an elegant matter!" ”
Zhao Siyin said this, but she felt in her heart that it was impossible to win this lantern with Zhao Wenyu's literary talent, of course her idea was Gu Chenfeng, Zhao Wenyu wanted to go on stage, naturally he would not go, he would definitely invite Gu Chenfeng.
However, she is not as straightforward as Chen Wanying, and if she puts it tactfully, it can be regarded as the face of her girl's family.
I have to say that Zhao Qingru can't fight the Wang family, and Zhao Qingru's daughter is also crushed by the Wang family's daughter.
Zhao Wenyu was actually a little eager to try, and sure enough, he looked at Gu Chenfeng: "Chenfeng, why don't we try it together, it's not for winning or losing, it's all about trying our own talents?" ”
Gu Chenfeng originally wanted to refuse, he didn't like this kind of limelight, but when he saw Zhao Siyan's gaze also fall on the stage, he suddenly changed his mind.
He bowed slightly: "Since this is the case, I will accompany Wen Yu." ”
The two went on stage together, Gu Chenfeng misunderstood, he thought that Zhao Siyan also wanted the lantern, after all, the lantern was indeed beautiful and exquisite, and it was normal for the girl's family to like it, in fact, Zhao Siyan was just thinking about why his father and the prince hadn't appeared yet.
Zhao Tingshan said that he had not shown up since he returned home, and there must have been something important to stumble, and Zhao Siyan wanted to know what happened.
Gu Chenfeng and Zhao Wenyu attracted everyone's attention as soon as they came to the stage, Gu Chenfeng took care of Zhao Wenyu's face very much, and rarely answered questions, which made Zhao Wenyu out of the limelight, only occasionally when Zhao Wenyu was in trouble, he would open his mouth to remind, and the two answered smoothly to the end.
The lantern is worth a lot of money, and if you want to get it, it's not an ordinary puzzle.
"I heard that today's puzzle has a lot of origin, and the Sun family went to consult the prince, and the prince himself came up with it!" There are people around him who said.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise why do you think the Sun family would spend so much money and take out all the night pearls, isn't that to give face to the prince?"
When Zhao Siyan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately lost his laughter, he didn't expect it to be like this, this Li Junze really likes to beat the corner and beat the corner.
Zhao Siyan secretly complained in his heart.
It is impossible for Li Junze to give the Sun family a set of questions, but the last finale question was given by Li Junze, and in addition to Gu Chenfeng and Zhao Wenyu, there are also a few other scholars who have also answered correctly, so it should be a few classmates who came out to play.
This last question was given by Li Junze, but the question from Li Junze has nothing to do with anagrams, but with horses.
This is a seemingly inexplicable question, there are two hundred mares, and two hundred foals, and the mother of the foal is among the two hundred mares, and the mare and the foal are mixed together, how can you tell the mother of the foal?
When this question was asked, everyone on the field looked embarrassed, and even Gu Chenfeng frowned.
Chen Wanying couldn't help but complain: "What kind of problem is this? How can you tell the difference? The prince is inevitably too strong. ”
Zhao Siyin also frowned and said, "This topic is indeed a bit difficult. ”
Zhao Siyan showed a thoughtful look, Chen Wanying turned her head to see her, and couldn't help but say: "Third sister, you have always been smart on weekdays, and even the master praised you, but you have a good idea?" ”
Chen Wanying didn't think that Zhao Siyan had thought of a way, but it was just a killing, if Zhao Siyan answered that there was no way, she would naturally lose face.
Zhao Siyin also looked at Zhao Siyan expectantly and said: "Yes, third sister, you have always been smart, even your grandfather and grandmother often praise you, do you have a way?" ”
Zhao Siyan glanced at the two of them, she was the best way, but she didn't want to be in the limelight, it was not cost-effective for a lamp, but this time it was obviously for Gu Chenfeng and Li Junze to set up a relationship, and to achieve this point, she was only one foot away, she felt a little pity.
Seeing that Zhao Siyan didn't speak, Chen Wanying said with an expression that you can't do like this: "Second sister, don't be embarrassed by the third sister, even Gu Gongzi and the eldest brother can't do anything, how can she have a way?" ”
Zhao Siyin also nodded approvingly.
Zhao Wenxi said with a displeased face: "The two of them can't answer, it's because they don't have enough knowledge, what does it have to do with my sister?" ”
Zhao Siyan glanced at Yun Cui and said in a deep voice: "You go and tell the eldest young master, just say that the love between mother and son is nature, and beasts also have the love of licking calves." ”
Yun Cui answered, and hurriedly went to the stage to pass the word.
Chen Wanying looked at Zhao Siyin: "Third sister, what do you mean?" With just such a sentence, can this problem be ended? What does it have to do with the nature of mother and child? ”
Zhao Siyin couldn't think of it, but fortunately, she knew the truth that if she didn't understand, she wouldn't say much, so she didn't speak.
Yun Cui came to the stage to talk to Zhao Wenyu, Zhao Wenyu didn't understand yet, Gu Chenfeng heard it, but he was thoughtful, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced in the direction of the audience.
He was already handsome, and the shallow smile he showed at this time made him even more gentlemanly, Chen Wanying and Zhao Siyin both blushed.
Zhao Siyan sighed, she asked Yun Cui to send a message to Zhao Wenyu, it is very likely that Zhao Wenyu will not understand, but Gu Chenfeng will definitely be able to understand her hint.
Sure enough, Gu Chenfeng had already taken a step forward, wrote down the method of solving the problem on a piece of paper, and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner took a look, couldn't help laughing, and looked at Gu Chenfeng approvingly: "Son, talent!" ”
Chen Wanying said happily: "Gu Gongzi answered!" Gu Gongzi answered! After a pause, she seemed to think that it was Gu Chenfeng who answered after Yuncui came to power, and her excitement eased slightly, "As long as you give him time, Gu Gongzi will definitely be able to answer!" ”
Zhao Siyan was noncommittal.
Zhao Siyin never mentioned the answer, but said with a smile: "This lantern is really good-looking, and it really didn't come out in vain this time." ”
Many people were stumped by the question, and they all shouted, "What's the answer?" ”
"yes, what's the answer?"
The stall owner looked at Gu Chenfeng and said with a smile: "Please also ask the son to solve your doubts." ”
Gu Chenfeng didn't want to be in the limelight, but glanced at Zhao Wenyu and told him the method, and Zhao Wenyu stood up: "In fact, the answer is many simple, separate the wooden horse from the foal, and don't give any food and water, hungry for a day, the foal is still young, naturally can't stand it, wait until the second day and put them together, the foal will naturally go to find his mother." ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Zhao Siyin looked at Zhao Siyan, others didn't know, but what she heard was real, wasn't this exactly what Zhao Siyan asked Yun Cui to pass on just now?
Gu Chenfeng must have listened to Zhao Siyan's reminder, so he thought of this method.
The people praised Gu Chenfeng for his exquisite thinking before he could think of such a method, but Gu Chenfeng didn't have much pride, in fact, he didn't think of this method at first, and he only thought of it after listening to Yun Cui's reminder.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Siyan.
The man was obviously standing among the ten thousand people, but he still had a calm and gentle appearance, ignoring the noise next to him, and it seemed that for a moment, even the noise was much quieter.
The stall owner sent the lantern as promised, Zhao Wenyu took it, and the two walked off the stage together, but this answer was really wonderful, and many people were still talking.
Gu Chenfeng and Zhao Wenyu walked directly to the three sisters.
Chen Wanying's eyes were shining and she looked at Gu Chenfeng and said, "Gu Gongzi is so powerful, he won so beautifully!" ”
Zhao Siyin didn't open her mouth to compliment, a high-minded and arrogant man like Gu Chenfeng was reminded that it was a very shameless thing to be reminded by others, so she wouldn't deliberately say it to make Gu Chenfeng unhappy.
But Zhao Siyin was wrong this time.
Gu Chenfeng smiled gently: "Where is my strength?" It's clear that Miss San is very powerful, if she hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of an answer, no wonder I always heard people say that Miss San is smart, comparable to a man, it's true. ”
Chen Wanying's expression froze, and she looked at Zhao Siyan viciously.
Zhao Siyan felt that Gu Chenfeng was taking revenge.
Zhao Siyin smiled and said: "It's true that the third sister is smart, but if you change to a dull person, I am afraid it will be difficult to guess the deep meaning of the third sister, after all, it is Gu Gongzi who solves the mystery in the end." ”
Zhao Siyin is actually right to say this, and it can be regarded as praising Gu Chenfeng in disguise.
But Gu Chenfeng obviously didn't appreciate it very much, "I don't have a clue yet, the third miss has already ordered someone to remind me, and I came up with the answer earlier than me, I am indeed inferior to the third miss." ”
"How can Gu Gongzi be inferior to her?!" Chen Wanying blurted out.
Gu Chenfeng's face suddenly sank: "Third Miss did think of it first, why can't I be inferior to her?" ”
Chen Wanying's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and didn't speak.
Zhao Siyan had a headache.
Zhao Siyin hurriedly played a round: "This lantern is really good-looking, it is really a pearl of the night, and the Sun family is really rich." ”
Zhao Siyin naturally fell in love with this lantern, it turned out that she still had the luxury of hoping that Gu Chenfeng would win the lantern and give it to her, but now that she had broken this thought, her current idea was that she must not let Gu Chenfeng send this lantern to Zhao Siyan.
Gu Chenfeng said: "I'm a man, and I don't like these things, so it's better to ......."
"Also, Gu Gongzi naturally doesn't like this kind of woman's thing, so it's better to give it to the ancestral ......" Zhao Siyin hurriedly spoke.
Before Gu Chenfeng could finish speaking, Gu Chenfeng had already walked towards Zhao Siyan, and Zhao Siyin's face suddenly became ugly, and he didn't say what he wanted to give to his grandmother.
Gu Chenfeng walked in front of Zhao Siyin and handed the lantern in his hand to ...... Zhao Wenxi.
"I'm sending you away, I want to study hard like your sister." Gu Chenfeng said with a smile.
Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying's expressions sank, and they gave it to Zhao Wenxi, isn't that the same as giving it to Zhao Siyan?
Zhao Wenxi was hesitating how to refuse, when he suddenly heard a heroic and familiar voice.
"It turned out to be the morning wind, who am I who can solve the problem of the prince of the world!"
A few people looked up, and saw Zhao Tingshan walking over with a handsome young man in his arms, who was it not Li Junze?
Li Junze went out on patrol in micro-clothes, except for Zhao Tingshan, he only brought one Jiang Yi with him, but Jiang Yi is strong in martial arts, and with him, he will be ten ordinary guards.
Everyone stepped forward to say hello, but Zhao Tingshan did not say Li Junze's identity, but only called it Li Gongzi to outsiders, and several people also tacitly understood it.
Li Junze's gaze fell on Gu Chenfeng's face, his eyes flashed, he opened the folding fan with a snap, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to solve the puzzle is a young talent!" ”
He wore a white brocade robe today, holding a folding fan, holding a gentleman and square, a noble and compelling body, and a slight smile at this time, but he was handsome.
Chen Wanying and Zhao Siyin both looked at Li Junze with some contradictions, the Ruyi Langjun they originally belonged to was naturally like Li Junze, handsome and noble, but then Gu Chenfeng appeared, discussed it with his mother, and felt that it was more likely to marry Gu Chenfeng than the prince, so he shifted the target.
But with Li Junze's appearance and demeanor, he is the most popular among women, and now that the two of them see Li Junze again, their original rested thoughts can't help but ripple, and then look at Gu Chenfeng, and feel that Gu Chenfeng is also a good candidate, and it is a little difficult to choose for a while.
Gu Chenfeng arched his hand, but said politely: "Li Gongzi has a good reputation, Li Gongzi's riddle is very wonderful, and he has no clue in the next moment, thanks to Miss Zhao San's prompt, he came up with the answer in the next person, and he really doesn't dare to be greedy for merit." ”
Gu Chenfeng said this, in fact, it can be regarded as frank, after all, it is indeed not the answer he came up with alone, Zhao Siyan is Zhao Tingshan's daughter, the truth of the matter must not be hidden from Zhao Tingshan, if Zhao Tingshan thinks that he takes the credit of his daughter, I am afraid that he will be displeased, and when the time comes, I will tell Li Junze, I am afraid that he will be disadvantaged.
Moreover, he is a man, and he really disdains to take advantage of women's credit, he didn't come up with it alone, and he didn't want to take advantage of it.
Li Junze looked at Zhao Siyan unexpectedly, and said meaningfully: "It turned out to be Miss Zhao San, so it is!" ”
Although it was only four words, everyone could hear the appreciation in his words.
Gu Chenfeng didn't know why, he actually had an uncomfortable feeling.
Li Junze's eyes fell on the lantern in Zhao Siyan's hand, he glanced at Gu Chenfeng, and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Zhao San's hint is really important, so Gu Gongzi can't wait to return the favor when he gets the prize?" ”
Some things can not be given blindly, such as women's handkerchiefs, purses, these are close things, and lanterns are also one of them, at the lantern party, the talented man won the lantern with a full stomach and gave it to his favorite beauty, which fulfilled a good story, but it will not be said to be a private gift.
Many beautiful encounters begin at the Lantern Festival.
Li Junze's words do have a deep meaning.
Gu Chenfeng did not reject this misunderstanding, and even had some joy to hear it.
However, Zhao Siyan didn't give him a chance, she directly stuffed the lantern into Zhao Wenxi's hand: "You have to take the things that others give you, otherwise you won't live up to the good intentions of others?" ”
is really looking for opportunities to educate his younger brother all the time.
Zhao Wenxi took it and took it obediently.
The face of a certain prince immediately became visibly better, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little warm.
Zhao Wenyu felt that it was rare to meet Li Junze, so he said with a smile: "I'm tired of shopping, I just ordered someone to go to Zuixianlou to order a table of food, why don't we go there to rest, set a position by the window, and watch the lantern show for a while, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" ”
Zhao Tingshan nodded and praised it: "It's still Wen Yu's thoughtfulness, son, you see ......"
"Then let's go." Li Junze said.
Drunken Immortal Building is the largest restaurant in Dengzhou City, a few people went upstairs into the private room, although men and women are guarded, but fortunately, there is Zhao Tingshan, an elder, and Zhao Wenyu is also there, but there is no need to be too particular.
