"Inkstone, inkstone, why didn't I think of it......" Zhou Shimin looked enviously at the young scholar who took a lot of reward money and left, and was annoyed in his heart.

"Let's go, hurry up and see the next lantern, maybe there's still a chance. Jiang Yun didn't care about being annoyed, and was about to run to another mystery lamp that was still lit nearby, when he heard a loud shout from the other side of the platform.

When the two of them heard the sound, they looked up, only to see the crowd on the platform commotion, and then they saw that a lantern hanging above was extinguished.

"It's the riddle lantern of Lord Xiong in the county, I don't know which lucky brother solved the riddle of Lord Xiong's lantern riddle......" Zhou Shimin looked at the side of the platform, with a look of envy, and couldn't help but move his mind to the platform.

"Otherwise, we should hurry up and guess the riddle on stage, if it's too late, I'm afraid that others will guess it." He said anxiously.

Jiang Yun was speechless for a while, the lantern riddles on the platform are undoubtedly more difficult to guess, and there are many masters there, with their level, how can they compete with so many people, it is better to try their luck below.

"Shimin, you and I are not masters of guessing puzzles, so it's better to try our luck below. He didn't care about damaging the other party's morale, and said directly.

Zhou Shimin thought about it, and finally dispelled the idea of going to the stage, and the two of them were wandering around again.

It's a pity that their luck is obviously not very good today, although there are many lanterns in these places, but the two of them either can't guess it, or they are the first to guess the lantern riddle, and the two of them wandered around for a while, but they found nothing.

"The executioner's face -- guess the name of an official. ”

The two of them stood under a riddle lamp again, and at this moment, the riddle lights were extinguishing one after another, which made people's minds more anxious, and they couldn't guess again, this time they really wanted to go home empty-handed, Zhou Shimin, who wanted to make a small profit, was certainly anxious, Jiang Yun was no exception, and now he was empty-handed, penniless, waiting to solve the riddle of the lantern, and took the reward money to solve the current urgent need.

But it's useless to be anxious, there are too many people guessing riddles here, and there are many masters, and only a few people can quickly guess and grab the red envelope.

Seeing this riddle, both of them lowered their heads and groaned, Jiang Yun thought for a while, his heart moved, he had a faint clue, and was about to open his mouth to report the answer, when he heard someone next to him already reply loudly: "I guess it's the prime minister!"

As soon as this voice came out, everyone around the lantern suddenly realized that the executioner's face was not the prime minister, Jiang Yun was annoyed, just because he had just figured out the mystery of the prime minister, but he was one step slower, and he was guessed first, but it was only a little slower.

He was annoyed here, only to see that Zhou Shimin next to him was also sighing and annoyed, and when he asked, it turned out that the other party had just thought of the mystery of the prime minister, but he didn't think that he was still preemptively said.

The two of them turned around together, wanting to see who this person who broke their "good deeds", and at a glance, they found that this person turned out to be an "old acquaintance", it was the young scholar who guessed the inkstone before, in the impression of the two, they had seen this young scholar many times tonight, this person was undoubtedly a big winner tonight, and he had guessed a lot of puzzles and won a lot of red envelopes.

Zhou Shimin glared angrily at the young scholar, gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to go up and eat the other party alive, even Jiang Yun was not much better.

The young scholar couldn't see the eyes of envy or jealousy next to him, so he stepped forward with a smile and received the red envelope reward in the riddle lantern.

The young scholar took the copper coin and quickly walked away again, looking for his next "battlefield".

"Is this person here to make trouble......" Looking at the back of this person leaving, Zhou Shimin gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Although Jiang Yun also hated it, he had to accept it, he was quick-witted, he was able to guess so many riddles and get so much reward, which was also due to his talent, and it was too much to say that he was here to make trouble.

Looking at the enigma lights that had become more and more sparse around, the two of them who had found nothing so far were a little excited, and then Jiang Yun looked at the stage, and then proposed: "Let's go, we might as well go to the stage and have a look." ”

Zhou Shimin naturally has no objection to this, he has long thought so, now on the platform, there are still a lot of riddle lights on, although there are many talented people on the platform, but the puzzles on this platform are also a lot more difficult, stumped a lot of people, they go now, maybe they can try their luck, hit one or two.

The two immediately ran to the stage and came to the stage, but found that if they wanted to go on stage, they still needed to pay a small amount of money, which was also to prevent some people from being overwhelmed, and there were too many people on the stage leading to overcrowding.

However, this small amount of money is indeed not much, one person only needs to pay 20 yuan to go to power, Zhou Shimin gritted his teeth, took out 20 yuan, and got a bamboo stick voucher to go to the stage, Jiang Yun also wanted to go to the stage, but unfortunately he was penniless, and the 20 yuan of the power fee could not be paid.

Zhou Shimin didn't know at first that he had to pay a sum of money on this stage, but at this moment he glanced back at Jiang Yun, and said in his heart that the other party was going to the stage, and it was just for a lively time, and he was studying with the prince, could he still guess the above puzzle, in this case, it was better to save this money.

Twenty dollars is a small amount, but it can't be wasted. He wanted to wait for the other party to take the initiative to give up, but unfortunately Jiang Yun was not as he wished, so he didn't speak for a long time, just looked straight at him. was a little uncomfortable by the other party, so he had to take out another twenty yuan from the money bag in his arms, pay the money for the other party, and said: "Pingchuan, you can also come up, with your talent, it is very likely to guess one or two." ”

Of course, Jiang Yun would not refuse, and said: "This twenty yuan should be regarded as if I borrowed Brother Zhou." ”

Zhou Shimin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Pingchuan doesn't need to be polite, it's just a few pennies." ”

Jiang Yun didn't say anything more, took the bamboo stick voucher, and the two went on stage.

The platform is very large, but there are also a lot of people, at this moment there are almost two or three hundred people, the two of them rushed forward in the crowd for a while, and soon came to the bottom of a riddle lamp, and hurriedly looked up at the riddle of the riddle lantern.

On the front of the riddle lamp, there is only a big "Hui" word, and there is nothing else, and there is a line of small characters written below, typing an idiom.

After reading the puzzle, the two began to bow their heads and ponder, but for a while, what is the clue, just such a Hui word, to guess an idiom, this is too tricky and weird, it makes people feel like a dog biting a hedgehog, and there is nowhere to eat.

Not only were the two of them stumped, but also the other people around, otherwise this riddle lantern would not have been hanging here for so long, and there were so many people passing by, but no one could guess it so far.

After seeing the riddle, many people think for a moment to no avail, so they wisely leave and go to see the riddle lanterns elsewhere.

"This Li family's lantern riddle is too tricky and weird, is it because he is reluctant to give up the red envelope reward inside, and deliberately makes people unable to guess it?"

Zhou Shimin complained stupidly, the other three sides of this riddle lamp have a big "Li" character written on them, obviously this riddle is a puzzle funded by the Li family, a scholarly family in the city.

Jiang Yun was also quite slanderous, and after stopping here to think for a while, he decisively left to see another riddle lamp.

Zhou Shimin pulled him directly and said, "Let's go, don't care, let's go and see the riddle of the county magistrate first!"

He wants to see the riddle lantern of the county magistrate first, the intention is self-evident, there is no doubt that the riddle lantern on this stage, not to mention the red envelope reward inside, the most valuable is undoubtedly the riddle lantern of the county magistrate, if you can guess it and leave the name, at least you can leave a few impressions in the heart of the county magistrate, and it is always good for the next county test.

Jiang Yun was pulled by him, and followed him to a riddle lamp in the middle of the platform, where the number of people gathered was undoubtedly the largest, and there was a big "Liu" character written on the side of the riddle lamp, which was the riddle lantern set up by Liu Chaozong in this county.

Under the riddle lamp, some people looked forward to watching the puzzle, some people lowered their heads in contemplation, scratched their ears and cheeks, and the two finally squeezed under the riddle lamp, and hurriedly looked up at the puzzle on the riddle lamp.

"The precept is fighting - fighting a predecessor's verse. "This is the lantern riddle ordered by Liu County in this county.

Seeing this riddle, the two of them gasped, this puzzle is not easy to guess, compared to the previous one-word puzzle of the Li family, it is not much better, it seems that these old guys do not have fuel-efficient lamps, and they are intent on making it difficult for these candidates to take the exam.

The two pondered under the riddle lamp for a while, still at a loss, raised their heads and looked at each other, shook their heads, and were about to walk away, when a yin and yang strange voice came from the side and said: "Look, no wonder there are so many people crowded on this stage, it turns out that even some cats and dogs have come to make up the numbers, and they don't weigh themselves, is this material." ”

Listening to this voice, it was still a little familiar, the two looked back, only to see a person standing next to them, looking at them with a look of disdain, they recognized this person, who was Min Wei, a classmate of the academy, next to him, the two of them also saw several other outstanding talents in the academy, Lu Wenpeng, Li Yuanchun and others.

It is not surprising to meet these people here, the lantern riddle will be such a lively event, the key is the opportunity to make a name for themselves in front of these adults in the county, and these conceited talents of the academy will certainly not miss it.

"What cats and dogs, who are you talking about? Zhou Shimin was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but scolded back.

"That's you. Min Wei said slowly.

"You, you are simply too deceitful!" Zhou Shimin glared at the other party angrily and scolded, "You are a cat and a dog, I don't know what lantern riddle you guessed, if not, you are the cat and dog you said in your own mouth!"

As soon as he heard this, Min Wei laughed instead, and the people next to him also smiled.

Zhou Shimin said: "Why, don't you dare to speak!"

Next to him, Li Yuanchun said: "Shimin doesn't know, the lantern riddle of Lord Xiong before was guessed by Brother Min." ”
