Manager Ye nodded, "The answer is correct, but if you don't ring the bell first, you will rush to answer, it will be invalid, and the peach blossoms of this question will be given to seventeen groups." ”

In the next few times, there were still people who didn't like to ring the bell, but after a few invalid times, it didn't appear again, the scene was very intense, and almost before the question of Manager Ye was finished, someone rang the bell.

After reading the ten questions, Mr. Ye continued to take the paper questions and said with a smile, "The following ten questions are life questions, in the market, how much silver is a bucket of rice?" ”

After Mr. Ye finished reading, a bell rang, and Mr. Ye asked him to answer, and the man blushed with embarrassment, "Shake, shake wrong." ”

When answering the question, the maid was not around, these ladies were beautiful, when did the young master of the prince care about the price of food on the street, everyone kept silent, Emperor Wenyuan frowned, even he knew the price of food in the market, they didn't know?

The other young masters don't know but they are a little ashamed, the fourth prince and several other princes saw the emperor frowning, and they were terrified, they are princes, and their father asked them to care about the people's livelihood, but now they can't even answer this, after a while, there is a table that rings the bell, it is Ye Guiyue's table, Liu Changsheng got up and replied, "Ten cents." ”

After he answered, a lady over there rang the bell, "Eleven cents, four days ago, the price of rice in the market rose by one penny." ”

Manager Ye praised, "That's right, the price of grain rose four days ago, add a peach blossom, and the king of Yuejun will buckle one at this table." ”

Duchess Li Guo looked at the girl and nodded, this girl is delicate, she is afraid to help the housekeeper at home, and she is not small, she is the first girl to ring the bell.

Manager Ye continued to ask, "What are the three festivals?" ”

Ten life questions, the time spent is more than ten times the time spent on receiving poems, fortunately, the answer is finished, and many groups have deducted peach blossoms in this game.

After half an hour's effort, the thirteen groups where the four princes belonged had more than forty peach blossoms, and the eighteen groups where Ye Guiyue belonged only had sixteen. In the other groups, there are more than 20 flowers, and there are only 5 or 6 flowers in the few.

At this time, there were still two volumes on the table.

Chu Pei looked at Ye Guiyue, "There are only twenty questions." Our group didn't dare to answer the questions tightly, and we couldn't even get into the top four. ”

Yuan Ran lowered her head in shame, just now she wanted to take the bell, but when she met Liu Changsheng reaching out, she was embarrassed to take her hand back, those questions were not difficult, she could answer them, but she missed it like this, in fact, it was not only their group, but also other groups. There is only one bell, and it is powerful, it is inevitable that everyone will reach out and be humble to each other, and the young master of the prince and everyone touch each other's beautiful hands. What kind of questions are you answering, it's good if you don't stomp your feet.

The group of the four princes was opposite Ye Guiyue, Ye Xuan's eyes were smiling, but they didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, but looked at Ye Guiyue with a hint of provocation, "There are not many questions left, what do you want to beat me?" ”

Ye Guiyue played the jade fan leisurely. "I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry?"

After speaking, he instructed Chu Peidao, "You will be responsible for ringing the bell for a while." ”

Chu Pei took the bell in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm in charge of rattling." But I'm not responsible for answering the questions. ”

Manager Ye didn't care about the interaction between them, took the paper question, and said with a smile, "The next ten questions are word guessing questions, and the first question is ......." ”

Jingle bells!

Chu Pei rang the bell violently. Manager Ye looked at the paper questions in his hand, and then looked at the peach blossoms on their tables, his heart was less, and it was so wasteful, these questions were not the previous word guessing questions, they were much more difficult.

After Chu Pei finished shaking, Manager Ye smiled and said, "The first question is the second girl, guess a word, please answer the question in eighteen groups." ”

After shaking the bell, you have to answer the question, Chu Pei pulled the corners of her mouth, how can the second girl guess the word, or guess one, fortunately, he said that he was only responsible for ringing the bell, Chu Pei's eyes swept over the remaining seven people, Hou Qingmiao, Yuan Ran and the others all lowered their heads, and bit their lips in a low voice, "I can't guess." ”

Qin Zhizhang also shook his head, and as soon as the hour passed, the maid came to take away a peach blossom, Chu Pei said distressedly, "Originally, there were fewer peach blossoms, I shook the bell, you won't, I can't shake it yet?" ”

The four princes they won't either, but they don't ring the bell, don't rush to answer, at least they won't lose, unlike them upside down, this time, no one rushed to answer, and when the time comes, I heard the manager say, the second girl, is the second daughter, the two words are put together is a posture, everyone stared at the round eyes, guess the word can still be like this?

Princess Liuhua smiled and asked the county lord of Jining, who came up with this topic, and the county lord of Jining said that it was Zhiwan, and the Duchess of Liguo looked at Zhiwan in surprise, "How did you come up with such a question?" ”

Zhiwan blinked his face lightly before replying, "Some time ago, I lived in the Reclining Buddha Temple for a while, and I saw that the Taoist priest told fortunes to people, all of them asked people to write a word, and there was a lady who wrote a gesture, and the Taoist priest calculated that she was second in the family, I think it is novel, and it will be counted as a topic for everyone to guess." ”

Indeed, the Taoist priest will break the word to tell fortunes, I didn't expect that she would count the word as a topic, and let everyone guess the word upside down, no wonder everyone can't guess it.

Manager Ye continued to ask, "The four of them carry a big tree, and they also guess a word." ”

Before Mr. Ye's voice fell, the bell rang again, and the person who rang the bell this time surprised everyone, it turned out to be the king of Yuejun.

Ye Guiyue answered the word lightly, which made Zhiwan a little surprised, this guy's head turned too fast, Mr. Ye continued to read the question.

"The students are gone, and they are coming back."

"Straight."

"The Emperor's New Clothes."

"Attack."

"Extraordinarily generous."

"Back."

"One in a thousand, one in a hundred."

"Uncle."

"One side is red, one side is rainy, one side is happy with the wind, and the other side is happy with the rain."

"Autumn."

He replied almost without thinking, making everyone present wide-eyed, and the prince frowned and said, "King Yuejun has close contact with the fourth girl in private, didn't he secretly tell him the answer?" ”

Everyone looked at Zhiwan, Zhiwan's face was flushed, and he shook his head again and again, "I didn't tell him, there are several questions from the county lord, and even I don't know." ”

The county lord of Ji Ning nodded again and again, "The emperor's new clothes are from me." ”

Zhiwan may leak the answer, but the county lord of Ji Ning shouldn't, so why did he answer so numbly?

Until Emperor Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Wuyuan is good at fortune-telling, and he has studied with Master Wuyuan for a few days." ”

Everyone knows about this, it is said that the king of Yuejun has a good memory, and he finished reading the book of the master without a chance in a few days, and he also ran to grab the work of the master without a chance, which angered the master without a chance. Bombed back.

Isn't this question for him?! Xiangwang Shizi's eyes were a little cold when he saw Zhiwan, poor Zhiwan didn't know that it would be such a coincidence, that day on the street, King Yuejun was very casual to Master Wuyuan. It can even be said that it is a little presumptuous, who would have thought that he would learn from a master who has no chance? He also knows fortune telling?

Except for the first question, the remaining nine questions were all answered, and the eighteen groups had twenty-four peach blossoms, currently ranking sixth.

There are only ten questions left, will they be able to make it to the top four groups?

Mr. Ye picked up the last volume of questions and said with a smile, "This is the last volume of questions, a bit miscellaneous, but thought-provoking." Everyone must be active and strong, otherwise there will be no chance, the first is an arithmetic problem, a snail fell into a 100-meter pit, and climbed five meters during the day. Falling four meters up and down, how many days did it take for it to climb out of the pit? ”

"Ninety-nine days!" Someone rang the bell to answer, Manager Ye was right, if you don't grab it, you will lose, if you win it, maybe you will have a chance to enter the next round of the competition, and you will be out.

"Wrong!"

"One hundred days!"

"Wrong!"

"Ninety-eight days!"

"Wrong!"

“…… Why not. The snail climbs five meters during the day and drops four meters at night, and can only climb one meter or a hundred meters a day, isn't it exactly a hundred days? ”

Zhiwan was speechless, this is a primary school math problem, okay? You are all eighteen years old, okay, these three young masters grabbed it too fast, so that those who had just calculated the ninety-six days had no chance to rob it, and said in the air, "The snail will be able to climb ashore during the day." Will it go underground? ”

"I'm more curious about whose snail will fall into a hundred-meter pit and still be alive," Chu Pei asked with a smile.

"That's right, whose pit is 100 meters?"

"......." ”

Isn't this the point, this group of young masters of the family, pampered and pampered, what kind of effort to drill into a dead end?

Mr. Ye continued to read the second question, "Nine fruits, of different sizes, are divided among thirteen friends, how is it the fairest?" ”

Nine fruits, divided among thirteen friends, who will do that? Not enough fruit, ordinary people would rather not take the good one, never suffer from widowhood and unevenness, do not suffer from poverty and suffer from anxiety, the battle between concubines and concubines, the reason is not the word injustice, nine fruits are distributed to thirteen friends, isn't it the scene when the big family divides the property, some people have, some people don't, some people get more, some people have less, and there are natural contradictions.

Such a topic that seems to be extremely simple in Zhiwan's eyes has made everyone's hearts turn a thousand times.

"According to the difference between relatives and relatives?" There are ladies who rattle the bell.

"It should be on a first-come, first-served basis," the Third Prince said.

"Why don't you give it at all?" There is a son of the world.

Chu Pei said blindly, "Instead of harming friends who are suspicious of each other, why don't you give it to me, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" ”

"Replace the fruit with a knife, and I'll give it all to you," Yuan Hao laughed.

Manager Ye was busy stabilizing the scene that suddenly became noisy, and sneered, "It's actually very simple, just squeeze it into juice." ”

Everyone," ....... ”

"Next, which method of death is preferred by all death row inmates?"

"Poison, see blood seal the throat."

"Die in a dream, I don't know the pain."

"One arrow through the heart!"

The scene went crazy all at once.

Zhiwan sat there, frowning, really daring, in front of the emperor, the four princes also dared to incite a group of young masters of the family to rob the three opportunities, as long as the question was answered three times, even if you know that the answer is useless, Ye Guiyue's group is currently ranked sixth, if you want to enter the top four, you must answer at least three questions correctly, they are taking the opportunity to tie up the four princes?

And the top four don't rush to answer at all.

Chu Pei frowned, "Manager Ye, what is the answer?" ”

"Old death."

Chu Pei's face was full of black lines, this is really a thought-provoking answer, "What should I do, there are still three questions left to enter the top four, who can answer such a question?" ”

Mr. Ye continued, "Here's a couplet, and the one who works neatly wins. ”

Mr. Ye read out the couplet, and someone rushed to answer, this time the answer was the fifth, and then the seventh, and when the two finished answering, Qin Zhizhang rang the bell violently, for fear that he would be disturbed by someone one step too late, but it was Liu Changsheng who got up to answer the question, and only listened to him, "Shanglian: Listen to the frog embankment, listen to the frog cry, listen to the frog cry on the frog embankment, the frog embankment is 100 miles, the frog is 100 miles, the frog is 100 miles, I am on the lower couplet: Smell the bird forest, smell the bird song, smell the bird song in the bird forest, hear the bird forest and hear the bird song, the bird forest is a piece of bird song." ”

Emperor Wen Yuan clapped his hands and applauded, "The right neatness, the artistic conception is also consistent, who is in the house?" ”

Liu Changsheng hurriedly replied respectfully, "Caomin, a native of Tongzhou, is the nephew of Liu Shiyuan, a bachelor of Hanlin, and studied in Qianshan Academy. ”

Emperor Wenyuan nodded his head and praised Liu Changsheng's talent, Emperor Wenyuan noticed him earlier, after all, he was the first person to answer the price of grain, although the answer was wrong, but now he knows that it is excusable, studying in Qianshan Academy, he can only go down the mountain once in ten days, he doesn't know that the price of food has changed, Emperor Wenyuan glanced at Princess Liuhua, and said with a smile, "The hibiscus banquet invites talented people from Kyoto, and it is true, even the scholars of the poor family have been found by you." ”

Princess Liuhua still wondered when to invite this person, she had never heard of it before, and when she heard the emperor say this, she really couldn't say no, but he could be praised by the emperor, whether it was in Qianshan Academy or next year's spring, it would be of great benefit.

After adding one peach blossom, Ye Guiyue's group only had two fewer peach blossoms than the fourth group.

The manager continued to come up with the question, this question is a seven-step poem, there are three questions, for three groups to answer, and the best poem wins.

The manager reported the topic, the maid was there to count the steps, seven steps later, no one rushed to answer, the manager continued to read the second topic, it was the lotus, Qin Zhizhang quickly rang the bell, this time it was all fast, today's hibiscus banquet, about the lotus, many people have feelings in their hearts, not to mention seven steps into poetry, three steps are enough.

After Qin Zhizhang made a poem "Step by Step Lotus", Emperor Wenyuan also praised a few words, and heard that he was the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and when he was the brother of Zhiwan, Emperor Wenyuan's eyebrows were lightly raised, and he smiled lightly.

The next topic is Chaoyang, after the maid walked seven steps, no one rushed to answer, then this game was Ye Guiyue's group to win.

The manager continued to read the question, but when he saw the question, his face changed, and he didn't read it for a long time, Princess Liuhua frowned, "Why don't you read it?" ”

The chief manager hurriedly handed over the topic, Princess Liuhua glanced at it twice, and looked at the eyes of the county lord of Jining with blame, how could such a topic come up, the hibiscus banquet is just for fun, not to talk about the court, let alone talk about the emperor, "This question will be stopped, the following three questions will be stopped, and the seventh question will be read directly." ”

Emperor Wenyuan frowned, "Why do you want to give up on a good topic, take it with me." ”

Princess Liuhua personally sent it to the emperor to help Jining County to play the round, the children are not aware of the government, they just want to have fun, Emperor Wenyuan saw the topic, he was not angry but laughed, "This topic is very good, read it!" ”
