Fanning walked over and smiled: "There are still lantern riddles that you can't guess?" ”

Zhu Pei glared at him, "Of course Ben Yanai can guess, it's just that he needs a little messenger by his side to call you over!" ”

When Fan Ning saw the shack owner standing next to him, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he must have called the shack owner to Xing Chongchong, but he guessed wrong.

He looked up at the riddle, 'The first day of the first month, shoot a word.' ’

Fanning turned back to Liu Kang again, "Did you guess it?" ”

Liu Kang scratched his head, "I guess riddles have always been idiots!" ”

The shack owner waiting next to him was already a little impatient, and urged Zhu Pei: "Little official, you guessed twice and it was not right, and if you can't guess it, I'll go elsewhere!" ”

Zhu Pei was exposed, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "Who said I couldn't guess, I guessed it a long time ago, just to test them." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Fanning.

Fanning understood it, so he smiled and said, "I guess it's a Ken word." ”

Zhu Pei's eyes lit up, and he snorted and said to the owner of the shed: "Did you hear it, the first day of the first lunar month, it is the end of the month, and together it is the word Ken, I have already guessed it in this ya, and the brand is brought!" ”

The owner of the shed handed her a small bronze medal, which could be exchanged for ten cents, and the owner of the shed ripped off the riddle and left.

Zhu Pei said triumphantly: "Ten cents in hand, you two have to work hard!" ”

She turned around and went to another riddle, Liu Kang said in a low voice: "Such a rude little lady, how can you stand it at the same table with her?" ”

"Who wants to share a table with her? She wasn't there during this time, and I sat alone, so I wasn't too comfortable. ”

Liu Kang turned his head and snickered, he asked when people would go to school just now, and then he pretended not to care.

At this time, Juppey shouted again, "Dumb, I'll test you another riddle!" ”

This 'dumb' attracted the attention of the people around him, Fanning's face was hot, he stepped forward and gritted his teeth: "Don't call dumb anymore!" ”

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "Dumb is quite smooth, why don't you be stupid?" I'm afraid you're embarrassed! ”

Fanning didn't have a problem with her, so he had to ask, "Which riddle was stumped again?" ”

"What words! Will this yamen be stumped by lantern riddles? It's about testing you, this. ”

She pointed to the lantern riddle above her head, and Fanning looked up carefully, this lantern riddle was a bit interesting, similar to the lantern riddle just now.

"Go straight up to the clouds, shoot a word."

He was just about to say the answer to the riddle, and there was a humane behind him: "Xiao Qi Niang, this is a word!" ”

The mystery was right, but the person who uncovered the mystery made the faces of all three of them sink.

It turned out to be Xu Ji!

Liu Kang glared at him dissatisfiedly and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xu Ji glanced at him and said coldly: "This is your family's color shed?" Can't I come? ”

Liu Kang was speechless, and Xu Ji said to Zhu Pei again: "Xiao Qi Niang, your grandfather asked me to come to you, it's not too early, go back with me!" ”

"I'm not going back with you!"

Juppé took a step back and stood beside Fanning, she looked at Xu Ji with great dissatisfaction, she was having a good time, but this person came to make trouble, which made her very unhappy.

"Fanning, Xiao Qi Niang is young and ignorant, so you won't be ignorant!" Xu Ji turned the contradiction to Fanning.

Fan Ning smiled and said: "Ju Pei came out with us to see the lights, it was her grandfather who agreed, when it was time to go back, I will send her back, we can all understand the senior brother's concern for Zhu Pei, senior brother or please go back!" ”

Fanning's words were understated, but to the point, who was lying?

Xu Ji's face really couldn't hold up.

Rao is Xu Jicheng's deep mansion, but after all, he is only an eleven-year-old boy, and he also has an impulsive side.

He suddenly remembered his grandfather's words, and the other party was nothing more than the fisherman's son.

And what is your family background?

The evil anger in his chest was irrepressible, and he couldn't hold back any longer, pointing at Fan Ning and reprimanding: "People must be self-aware, what kind of family background is Xiao Qi Niang, what kind of family background are you, can you climb high?" Don't think that if you take the first exam, you can lift your tail to the sky, and you can act recklessly? You're so self-righteous! ”

"Kill you bastard!"

Xu Ji's humiliation angered Liu Kang, he roared and rushed up, but was hugged by Fan Ning, "Some people who are good people don't do it, they have to learn how to bark like a dog, you can't be guilty of this kind of person." ”

"You bastard!"

Xu Ji was so angry that he trembled, turned back to Zhu Pei and shouted, "You go back with me!" ”

"I don't!"

Zhu Pei's attitude was resolute, and she shouted, "Sister Jian! ”

Before Xu Ji could react, a long hand behind him grabbed the back of his neck and threw him out of the shed directly.

There was a burst of laughter in the shed.

Fan Ning smiled at Zhu Pei and Liu Kang again: "The prize money in this shed is too low, let's change the shed to play." ”

"Let's go to the couplet shed!" Juppé clapped his hands and laughed.

The three of them walked out of the couplet shed, but Xu Ji didn't leave, he stepped forward and said calmly to Fan Ning: "I'll compete with you, dare you follow!" ”

Fanning admired the thick-skinned nature of this man, and refused to leave after being humiliated like that.

He tilted his head and smiled, "What do I want to compare with you?" ”

"You-" Xu Ji was speechless for a moment.

Liu Kang said in a loud voice behind Fan Ning: "Daddy told me that since you have to beat the dog to death, and if you beat the dog thoroughly, he won't dare to provoke you." ”

Zhu Pei also thought so, "Some people are very shameless, you don't want to pay attention to him, he still thinks you are afraid, preach everywhere, dumb, fight with him!" ”

Fan Ning nodded, and smiled at Xu Ji: "I'm afraid that you will lose and be embarrassed, since you don't care, then draw a line!" ”

Xu Ji pretended not to hear their ridicule, and pointed to the colorful shed in the distance, "Let's go and cross the words of the Five Classics!" ”

Fanning smiled slightly, "Then please!" ”

．．．．．．．．

In the Great Xiangguo Temple, the nine-star color shed is the Five Classics crossword, which has an official name, called the Paste Sutra, which is one of the contents of the provincial imperial examination.

Because it is more interesting, it has become a widely circulated word game among literati, and many literary competitions between schools also use this method.

A paragraph of text without a head and tail, a few lines less in the middle, let you complete it, there are difficulties and eases, look at the dishes,

It is not like writing poems and lyrics, as long as the average reader is familiar with 300 Tang poems, how can he piece together a poem.

The crossword of the Five Classics must be familiar with reading and reciting various scriptures, which is a real skill.

If two people play and compare each other's chests to learn, it is called Doujing.

A large group of scholars heard that this pair of teenagers was going to fight the scriptures, and they followed them to the Five Classics Shed, and more and more people joined the crowd to see the excitement, and many people rushed to this side.

On a whim, Liu Kang instigated Fan Ning to fight the scriptures, but now he regretted it a little, so he said to Fan Ning: "If it doesn't work, let's slip away!" ”

Fanning smiled: "If you want to escape, he will flee first, it won't be our turn!" ”

Xu Ji kept greeting people he knew, smiling, and acting calmly, showing his extraordinary family cultivation, but the moment he looked at Fan Ning, a trace of bitter hatred flashed in his eyes, and then he was cleverly covered by his smile.

But the hatred in his eyes was captured by Zhu Pei, who remembered his grandfather's evaluation of Xu Ji, 'The face is kind and ruthless, and there is no room for others.' ’

This made her a little worried about Fanning.

A large group of people surrounded Fan Ning and Xu Ji to the Wujing crossword color shed, which was originally quite lively and already crowded with scholars, but when they heard that two teenagers were going to fight the scriptures, everyone gave way to the stage.

The host of the color shed is a middle-aged man with a square face and a long beard, he knows Xu Ji, and he can't help but feel a trace of interest in his heart.

Xu Ji is a famous prodigy in Wu County, three years ago when the boy test was selected, he did not participate because he was a little young, and he was ready to participate in this year's boy test.

Not only the host, but many people on both sides know Xu Ji, the grandson of the chief professor of Fuxue, his father is a Jinshi, and his family background is illustrious, so that everyone can't help but be full of interest in Fan Ning, who is this young man, who actually wants to fight with Xu Ji.

"What sign does Xu Xiaoguan want to take?" The moderator asked with a smile.

Xu Ji said without hesitation: "Take the product sign!" ”

The surrounding scholars were in an uproar, and the crossword of the Five Classics was also divided into upper grade, middle grade and lower grade, and the content of the lower grade was mainly based on "Mencius" and "Analects", which was relatively simple, and the bonus was also low, and the students who chose the lower grade were generally the majority of the students.

The content of the middle grade includes the "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn" five parts, is the real Five Classics crossword, the vast majority of scholars have selected the product.

And there is no limit to the content of the top grade, there is everything, most of them are very secluded, and even the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" will appear.

Generally, few people will choose the best products, and it is okay to play in private, and everyone does not dare to take this risk easily in public.

Because of the difficulty, the prize is also high, and if you answer a question correctly, you will be awarded 500 words, and of course, there are more difficult ones, so it is not a word game played by ordinary people.

But today, Xu Ji came up and chose the top grade, so how could everyone not be amazed.

Xu Ji turned around and said coldly to Fan Ning: "It's too late for you to admit defeat now!" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "This sentence is also what I want to say to my senior brother, it's still too late for you to admit defeat now." ”

"Humph! Act recklessly. ”

Xu Ji turned back to the host and said, "I'll draw the first lot!" ”

The host took out a bamboo sticker and removed the cover on it, and the sticker was densely filled with inscriptions.

Xu Ji stretched out his hand to draw a sign and handed it to the host.

The title was rolled on the bamboo stick, and the host slowly opened the title and read: "Wei Wenhou said to Li Ke: Mr. tried to teach the widow [****], and now he is not a success, what is the second son?" ”

The host asked Xu Ji, "What are the ten words missing in the middle?"

Xu Ji said without hesitation: "If the family is poor, you will think of a good wife, and if the country is in turmoil, you will think of a good wife." ”

There was an exclamation all around, and many people applauded, apparently someone also knew about this question.

The host smiled: "Xu Xiaoguan answered correctly, this question is from the "Historical Records. Wei Shijia "

A hint of pride flashed in Xu Ji's eyes, and he glanced at Fan Ning.

Fanning also reached out and took an inscription tag and handed it to the host.

The host opened the question and smiled: "It's a poem title!" ”

He read aloud: "Don't be angry about the smoke of roasted tea, please say the next sentence." ”

There was silence in the crowd, this question was very cold, there was no record in the poem three hundred, everyone didn't know, and even Xu Ji's brows were furrowed.

Fanning glanced at Jupe, who muttered quietly, "Don't ask me, I don't know." ”

Fan Ning laughed secretly in her heart, this little girl was finally willing to admit that she didn't know.

He said unhurriedly: "But 'but you like to bask in the valley and the sky is sunny'?" ”

The host praised: "That's right, this poem is from the Tang Dynasty's "Mountain Family", you can look for it." ”

Applause all around, this young man is too powerful, he deserves to be Xu Ji's opponent, and he even knows this kind of cold poetry.

Xu Ji knew in his heart that if this lottery was drawn by himself, he would lose.

But after all, he was young, and he was already red-eyed at this time, and he couldn't wait to immediately trample Fanning under his feet, and a wave of spirit surged up, he slapped the table and shouted: "I'll draw five lots!" ”

The five-run lottery is just a common name, the real name is called the last lot, it is the most difficult question in the upper grade, if you can answer it, you can win the bonus of five money.

There was an exclamation all around, the crowd surged forward, and the people behind desperately stretched their necks, and someone actually wanted to draw five lots, which was too bullish.

Fanning was overjoyed, and there was such a good thing, he quietly asked Jupei, "Does the five-run lottery mean that the bonus is five?" ”

"It's a little bit of fun, okay!"

Zhu Pei glanced at him angrily, "The most difficult five-run sign is also called a broken intestine lot, and one sign can regret breaking your intestines." ”

The host took out a small sticker, and there were ten large golden sticks in it.

He smiled slightly: "Please draw lots for the two petty officials!" ”
