Chapter 131: Lantern Festival riddles
The bridge porch is full of colorful lanterns, the lake is also fluttering with all kinds of lanterns, the lake on the bridge is crowded with people, the people on the bridge chant poems and riddles, and the lake under the bridge floats past from time to time some boats or bamboo rafts that sit on the elegant people.
"On the first day of the first lunar month, type a word, girls, can any of you guess?" Old Madam Xing looked at the three young ladies beside her with a smile.
Looking at Mrs. Xing's smiling face, everyone knew that Mrs. Xing had already guessed the riddle, since there were accidents one after another at home, the old lady had not been so happy for a long time, and everyone naturally did not dare to sweep her Yaxing.
An Yixin pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had already guessed the answer, and looked at An Xinyue with some pride: "Eldest sister, cousin Xun, have you ever thought of the answer?" ”
Xun Xuan naturally had the answer in her heart, but she didn't want to say it so quickly, so as not to lose the interest of Old Madam Xing, so she turned her head and asked Xiang Anyue: "What about the eldest cousin?" What do you think? ”
An Xinyue sold a pass and said with a smile: "The two sisters are so talented and agile that they haven't come up with it yet, and I can't think of it." ”
Old Madam Xing laughed: "You three don't pretend, even my wife can guess this riddle, how can you not guess?" Tell us your answers! ”
An Yixin Xiupa hid her face and chuckled, and said: "This is the first day of the first lunar month, isn't it just the word 'Ken' that should be Ken?" ”
"Yes, the third girl is still smart!" Old Madam Xing nodded in praise, turned her head to look at Xun Xuan and An Xinyue, and said with a smile, "You two, you have to come on!" ”
A group of people continued to walk forward, and halfway through, An Yixin stopped again and stared at a lantern riddle with interest: "Straight up to the floating clouds." Typing a word, this lantern riddle is interesting, does grandmother have a clue? ”
Looking at An Yixin's posture, this is another guess of the answer.
Old Madam Xing stared at the lantern riddle for a moment, and finally shook her head: "It seems that Xin'er has thought of the answer again?" ”
An Yixin pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Xun Xuan and An Xinyue again: "Eldest sister, cousin Xun, what about you?" ”
An Xinyue really didn't have a clue this time, and looked at Xun Xuan on the side, but she didn't see any reaction.
An Xinyue shook her head and said with a smile: "The third sister will tell the answer directly." ”
An Yixin: "Straight up to the floating clouds, isn't this just a word that comes and goes freely?" ”
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she suddenly realized, and hurriedly praised with a smile: "Xin'er is really amazing!" ”
"Whose lady is this? So powerful? "There were people around who started to guess the puzzles, and it was very lively.
"This is the daughter of the family of the household department."
"I heard that this Anfu is a scholarly family, and Miss Fushang has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child!" The praise of the people around made Mrs. Xing quite faceless and even happier.
Taking advantage of Mrs. Xing's high spirits, An Yixin took a fancy to another lantern riddle: "Once the sea was difficult to water, I also typed a word." ”
This time, An Yixin did not ask Xun Xuan and An Xinyue, but asked Mrs. Xing directly: "Grandmother?" ”
Mrs. Xing felt that An Yixin was too popular, but let the other two daughters become foils, which inevitably wronged Xun Zhi and An Xinyue.
"Ah Zhi, Yue'er, think about it, what is this mystery?" Old Madam Xing deliberately gave the opportunity to Xun Xuan and An Xinyue.
An Yixin's eyes were slightly heavy, but her face did not show any abnormality, standing aside and looking at An Xinyue and Xun Xuan with a smile, she found someone to find the answers to these riddles early in the morning, in order to show her brilliance at the lantern festival, so that the entire Beijing division knew that An Mansion was not only An Xuehan and Xun Zhi, but also her An Yixin.
Although Anxinyue said that it was okay to write poetry, her thinking was not active, especially for lantern riddles, she was very bad at it, standing in place dryly, and she had no idea for a while.
Xun Xuan smiled: "I can't think of it, let's say it to my eldest cousin." ”
"Cousin......" An Xinyue looked at Xun Xuan in surprise.
While speaking, I saw Xun Xuan quietly holding An Xinyue's hand, and quickly wrote a word in An Xinyue's palm while everyone was not paying attention.
An Xinyue quickly understood, her nervous face relaxed a little at the same time, she raised her head and glanced at the curious eyes of the surrounding visitors, and said, "This is the beach word for a beach." ”
An Yixin squinted, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became stiff, but she didn't smile when she saw her: "The eldest cousin is really talented, and the younger sister is willing to bow down." ”
"A few daughters are so talented, I still have a few puzzles here, and they are a little more difficult, I don't know if you are interested in trying them?" The vendor who posted the riddle smiled and asked.
Mrs. Xing was in high spirits and pulled the three daughters: "Let's go, let's go quietly." ”
"The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep! Type a word! ”
The surrounding spectators were all trying their best to think, and Mrs. Xing and the three daughters were also in a pensive state.
After a while, An Yixin spoke up again: "This question is not difficult, I already have the answer." ”
Old Madam Xing looked at An Yixin in surprise, and said happily: "The third girl has an answer again?" I can't imagine that Xin'er is still a good hand at guessing lantern riddles! ”
"This is a store that is ready to go!" An Yixin said firmly.
"Really! This young lady is so amazing! Applause erupted.
"Could it be that this is the Xun Zhi girl who won five first prizes at the poetry meeting?" Someone asked curiously.
As soon as An Yixin heard that someone mistook her for Xun Zhi, her face suddenly sank a little, this hindering Xun Zhi, really any good thing can fall on Xun Zhi's head, it is obvious that she An Yixin has a good reputation by means, how could she give it to Xun Zhi so freely.
I saw An Yixin give a look to the magpie on the side, the magpie got a signal, and immediately explained to the person who spoke: "I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person, this is the third lady in our house An Yixin, and the Xun Zhi girl you said is the lady in our house, standing there!" ”
"Is it her? Is she Xun Zhi? But I couldn't guess a mystery when I saw her, and she didn't look like a talented girl! ”
"yes, not even her third cousin!"
Everyone looked skeptical.
"Cousin Xun, don't hide it, I know your level best, how can a mere riddle stump you?" An Yixin smiled with a bit of sarcasm.
Xun Xuan twisted her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it good for the third cousin to guess alone?" Ah Zhi interjected, and it was inevitable that she would ruin the third cousin's Yaxing! ”
Now that there is no suppression of the second lady An Xuehan, An Yixin finally has the opportunity to take the lead, and naturally she will try her best to be in the limelight and spread her talent and fame in Beijing.
Xun Xuan didn't want to disturb the atmosphere today because of Mrs. Xing, so as not to spoil her grandmother's interest, but An Yixin always provoked openly and secretly, how could she Xun Xuan be bullied?
Just one sentence, Xun Xuan's tone was a little tough, hinting to An Yixin, don't provoke her again, if the other party wants to raise her reputation by stepping on her, then Xun Xuan doesn't mind letting her be discredited.
An Yixin opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she was afraid of ruining Old Madam Xing's interest, so that she would lose more than she gained.
But Xun Zhi's tone of wanting to suppress her at this moment really made An Yixin grit her teeth with hatred.
What is there to be proud of, if it weren't for An Lingqing taking away her place in the poetry club, now she An Yixin would have been famous as a Beijing teacher.
"Shiyu is not drunk. Guess the Tang poems. "After solving one question, another question comes.
An Yixin looked at Xun Xuan with a smile, and a hint of sinister flashed in her eyes: "My cousin is known as a talented woman, and she must have memorized the poetry collection backwards, so this question will be answered by Cousin Xun Zhi!" ”
There are hundreds of poems in the collection, if you don't really memorize them backwards, how many people can quickly come up with the answer to the mystery in a moment? This question is obviously difficult, not only requires the solver to be very familiar with the title of the poem, but also needs to calmly analyze the inner meaning of the hints given in the question.
An Yixin has already mastered the answer, so naturally she will not worry that she will not be able to answer, she originally prepared this question for herself.
Xun Xuan couldn't answer, but An Yixin could answer, the first talented girl in Beijing was compared to her third cousin, this topic must be very fresh, and many people must be interested.
"What does Cousin Xun think?" An Yixin waited to see Xun Xuan make a fool of herself, but saw Xun Xuan's brows frowning slightly, and she did not have a trace of panic and crampedness, but thought calmly.
An Yixin looked at Xun Xuan's posture, worried that this question would really be solved by the other party, so she couldn't wait: "Since Cousin Xun can't think of it, then I'll answer it for my cousin." ”
An Yixin was about to tell the answer to the riddle, but saw Xun Xuan raise her hand and make a stop action: "Don't bother my cousin to help me solve this question, Ah Zhi already has the answer." ”
"The answer to the mystery is a long walk."
As soon as Xun Xuan's mystery came out, everyone was amazed, and Shiyu was not drunk, and he traveled for a long time!
Sure enough, it makes sense!
"I was able to find the answer from hundreds of poems in such a short period of time, and I deserved to be the first talented woman in Beijing!"
"Today, the Tianxia Business Alliance also held a lantern riddle meeting on the ship, I heard that many talented and beautiful people have boarded the ship, and the ship will soon dock under our bridge, Miss Xun Zhi, as the first talented woman in Beijing, how can she be absent from such an elegant party?" Someone in the crowd suggested.
"The World Business Alliance?" As soon as Xun Xuan heard this name, her heart suddenly became interested, recently she has been thinking about taking the ship of the World Business Alliance, if she can let Miao Shengtang join the World Business Alliance and become a member of the Business Alliance, the pharmacy will be able to gain a foothold in Jingshi, and she will not end up being bullied.
"However, if you want to go to the ship of the Tianxia Business Alliance, you must guess the lantern riddle made by the other party, and the one who guesses can enter." Someone explained.
"Yes, the difficulty of the lantern riddle is much more difficult than ours, many people who are famous in Beijing have been blocked from the boat, Miss Xun Zhi has to be completely sure if she wants to get on the boat."
"If you are turned away from the ship, it will be a shame."
