What does this mean? I can't understand it? Zhu Siqian complained depressedly.

Qu Shiyu also snorted coldly angrily: "This Xun Zhi, there are so many ghost ideas, there is such an incomprehensible lantern riddle, I think she is obviously deliberately showing off in front of everyone!" ”

The two people over there were busy sneering, but everyone here was concentrating on thinking about the riddle of the lantern riddle.

A wooden box is placed under each lantern riddle, and everyone only needs to guess the answer into the wooden box under the riddle, and there will be a special maid to check the answer and score.

Since Xun Zhi's lantern riddle was posted, half of the tea has passed, but the wooden box under the puzzle is still empty.

"It seems that few of the people present today can solve my cousin's question." An Xinyue walked up to Xun Xuan and joked with a smile.

"This question was asked by my father during the Lantern Festival that year." Xun Xuan's smile was flat, but there was a slight bitterness in her heart.

She vaguely remembered that during the Lantern Festival that year before entering the palace, her father got a lotus lantern out of nowhere, and used it as a reward to let her and Xun Zhi play a game of guessing lantern riddles, but they didn't guess the answer, but let the eldest brother Xun Shen guess it.

After the eldest brother Xun got the lotus lantern, he led her and the little sister to the river to put the lantern together.

Later, she learned from her brother that her father's lantern riddle was an eternal problem and was deliberately used to tease their sisters.

At that time, they were still young, and they didn't know what it was like to be separated, and now when they go back to reminiscing, Xun Xuan only feels even more lonely.

Just when Xun Xuan was stunned, Xu Xie Tang on the side suddenly got up and threw a note into the wooden box under Xun Xuan's puzzle.

"Look! Someone actually guessed Xun Zhi's riddle! ”

"It's worthy of the ghost Xu Xie Tang, I didn't even understand the lantern riddle, he can guess the answer!"

After Xu Xie Tang put down the note, he glanced at Xun Xuan lightly, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and walked to the deck of the ship, as if he did not intend to continue guessing the riddle.

"Is this Xu Gongzi planning to abstain? He can even guess your question, and it must not be difficult to solve other riddles with his talents, so why give up suddenly? An Xinyue whispered in Xun Xuan's ear, with puzzlement on her face.

"Since he is a ghost, how can he look at it with common sense?" Xun Xuan smiled, with her understanding of Xu Xuetang, the other party didn't care about the false name of the winner of the lantern riddle at all.

Xu Xie Tang has always been arrogant, among these riddles, except for Xun Zhi's thousand-year-old problem, the rest of the riddles are afraid that they can't get into his eyes, so he only solved Xun Xuan's problem, but the rest of the riddles chose to give up.

After Xu Xie Tang, Duan Yanxi quickly went up to submit the answer, and the difference with Xu Xie Tang was that in addition to his own and Xu Xie Tang's questions, Duan Yanxi solved almost all the remaining riddles.

Duan Yanxi is a well-known talent, well-read, and many eternal problems will be recorded in some relatively remote books, so it is not surprising that the other party can solve them.

After Duan Yanxi finished submitting the answer, he also went to the deck.

Xun Xuan thought about it almost perfectly, and she also had answers to most of the riddles hanging in her heart, but she didn't have a clue what Xu Xie Tang came up with.

In this process, Gao Ruoya, the county lord of Qinghe, also went up to submit the answers, a total of twenty-one lantern riddles, and Gao Ruoya answered nineteen questions, which was not easy.

"She is worthy of being a talented woman who even the emperor looks at differently, and the talent of the county lord is not inferior to that of Duan Da Cai!"

"In my opinion! The county lord can be called a veritable talented woman in Jingshi! Qu Shiyu took advantage of the gap in slapping Gao Ruoya's sycophancy, and secretly squeezed Xun Xuan again.

"Isn't it? It's also thanks to this Xun Zhi's talent, and she made such a riddle that everyone couldn't understand, wasn't it cracked by the county lord in the end? Zhu Siqian also mocked when she saw the situation.

The voices of the two were not loud, but everyone present was busy thinking about the lantern riddles, and no one was noisy for a while, so the words of the two were heard clearly by everyone.

Gao Ruoya handed in the answer, and walked out of the cabin with a calm face, but the afterglow seemed to float on Xun Zhi's body not far away, vaguely showing off.

Xun Xuan still stared at Xu Xuetang's lantern riddle unchanged: "Morning glory smiled, and the car was shy." Hit an idiom. ”

She had never heard of this topic, Xun Xuan suspected that this question was made by Xu Xie Tang now, this person's mind has always been active, how could a normal person guess the answer to the riddle in such a short time?

Xun Xuan sat for a while, still clueless, and saw that everyone around her had submitted their answers, so she didn't plan to continue to consume them, and got up and handed over the answers one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The top three lantern riddle games this year have been ......"

While the host spoke, everyone subconsciously stopped talking, all curious about who would be the one who could stand out among the many talented and beautiful people.

"They are the chess saint Duan Yanxi Duan Gongzi, the Qinghe County Lord Miss Gao Ruoya, and the Anfu Cousin Miss Xun Zhi!" The host deliberately read Xun Zhi's name at the end, probably because the first two people had a better reputation.

"Duan Yanxi's son scored eighteen points, and Qinghe County Lord Gao Ruoya scored eighteen points," the host announced the results unhurriedly, until he thought of Xun Zhi's score, the host's face couldn't help but flash a trace of consternation, and then glanced at Xun Zhi with a little apprehension, and opened his mouth to announce, "Miss Xun Zhi, score nineteen points!" ”

"What? Was this host bribed? How could Xun Zhi win over the talented girl Qinghe County Lord? Qu Shiyu shouted in a rather unkind tone.

"It's not just the county lord of Qinghe, but even the talented Duan Yanxi lost to her, there is definitely something greasy in this!" Zhu Siqian also didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, she wished that Xun Xuan would be found out immediately to be doing something at the Lantern Festival, and then be thrown off the boat by the Chamber of Commerce.

"That's it! Xun Zhi must have bought the people on the ship! The rest of the ladies present also coaxed, and no one was willing to lose to a person with a humble status like Xun Zhi.

The women who can get on the boat today are either talented people, or noble ladies, they are all famous nobles in Beijing, and Xun Zhi is just emerging with the help of the Chongyang Poetry Club, what qualifications do such people have to compete with them for the limelight?

"What's all the noise?" While everyone was in an uproar, a young man with extraordinary equipment walked out of the cabin, dressed in brocade clothes, and looked very rich.

"President Tan!" The people on and off the ship saluted the man and called respectfully.

When everyone saw Tan Baiyu come out, they all quieted down, and then they heard Gao Ruoya, the county lord of Qinghe, say indifferently: "President Tan came just in time, everyone suspects that someone is cheating at the lantern riddle meeting, and they are arguing, since the president is also here, it is better to give you a reasonable explanation here." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Tan Baiyu frowned, and then looked at the host on the side, "What's the matter?" ”

"They suspect that the small one has done something to the scoring results, but the small one is also businesslike, and he does not take sides, and I don't know where this cheating theory comes from!" The host explained with some grievances.

When Tan Baiyu heard this, his face relaxed a little, and then he chuckled: "What a big deal should I be, take all the answers written by the three of them, and compare them one by one, and there will be a conclusion?" ”

"I wonder if the three of you have any opinions?" Tan Baiyu looked at Xun Xuan and the three gently, asking for their opinions.

Duan Yanxi didn't care much about the ranking results, so naturally she didn't have any opinions, Gao Ruoya was determined that she would not lose to Xun Zhi, according to the calculation in her heart, except for Xu Xie Tang and her own questions, she answered the rest, she should have scored nineteen points, but now she has one point less, except for someone cheating, she can't think of anything else.

Xun Xuan has no opinion, someone wants to slander her for cheating, so she took this opportunity to clear her suspicion.

What she hasn't done will never bear this stigma in vain.

"Duan Gongzi answered a total of 19 questions, and the answers to the 19 questions are all correct, but more than five people answered the questions you came up with, so one point will be deducted, just 18 points, can Duan Gongzi have any objections?" The host first said to Duan Yanxi.

Duan Yanxi was slightly stunned, straightened it for a moment, and then smiled freely: "Understood." Originally, he was still curious about where his missing points went, but it turned out that because his questions were too simple, he was answered correctly by too many people, so he was deducted one point.

Duan Yanxi is kind to others, and when he participates in the gathering of talented people on weekdays, he is all out of interest, and he has never had the heart to compete for fame, so the topic is simpler, and he does not intend to embarrass others.

Seeing Duan Yanxi's talkative attitude, the host couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said: "As for the three points that the county lord lost, it is because you have two questions that you have not answered, and one question has been answered incorrectly!" ”

"What? Wrong answer? Gao Ruoya's face sank, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, "How can this be?" Are you reading it wrong? ”

"I will confirm again and again, you will never be mistaken, the question you answered incorrectly is the question of Miss Xun Zhi, 'Wenjun is in the river, Ziya Linxi'!" The host explained bitterly, and at the same time cold sweat flowed on his forehead, if he offended the county lord because of this, it would be really bad luck.

Hearing this, the county lord of Qinghe hurriedly snatched the answer from the host's hand: "Isn't the answer to this question 'the one who wishes to take the bait'?" ”

"Of course, the answer to this question is not 'those who wish to take the bait'," Xu Xie Tang suddenly spoke up and said to Gao Ruoya with a mocking face, "County Lord, you lost this game. ”

"Impossible! How could it be wrong? Gao Ruoya's face turned pale, and she only felt ashamed for a while.

answered the wrong question in front of so many people, but she didn't know it, not because she was cheating, but because she still claimed to be a talented woman, she was even more shameless.
