Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Last Chance
Jiang Yun and Zhou Shimin did not follow the trend to squeeze the lantern of Lord Wang, Zhou Shimin was already interested and couldn't raise his interest, Jiang Yun was looking for the reward in the riddle lantern, the lantern of Lord Wang seemed to be bright, but not to mention the fierce competition, it was not necessarily how much reward there was.
So Jiang Yun didn't go to squeeze with everyone, but came to another lantern that was still on, and the big word "Chen" on the side of the lantern indicated that this was a lantern funded by the Chen family, the leading scholarly family in the county.
"The high platform reflects the moon clearly - type a word", this is the riddle on the riddle lamp.
After the two of them saw it, they lowered their heads and pondered and compared.
After a while, Zhou Shimin's face showed joy and shouted: "Is it an alliance?"
Under the riddle light, the housekeeper of the Chen family shook his head, indicating that he guessed wrong.
"Is it the budding sprout?" When Zhou Shimin was deflated for a while, Jiang Yun also replied tentatively.
The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion still shook his head, indicating that he guessed wrong.
The two of them then blinded a few words, but they were not right, and the other people next to them saw it, and they all looked sideways, whether this was a riddle or a riddle.
In the end, the two were completely out of line, and Zhou Shimin was even more angry that he almost grabbed the collar of the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, forcing the other party to tell the answer.
Let's go, it seems that there is no hope for this question. The two returned home with a feather in the feather.
Lingering on the platform for a while, the two finally found nothing, turned around, and came to the lantern of the Li family before, and the two were surprised to find that the lantern had been extinguished, and it seemed that the riddle had been solved.
The two remembered the puzzle, the word 'Hui', and typed an idiom, so far the two of them had no clue, but they didn't expect someone to be able to guess it.
Curious, I found a person next to me to ask, and the person told the two of them the answer, which was "dizzy".
Hearing this answer, the two pondered for a while, and suddenly realized that the dizzy head is the sun, and moving the sun to the side is not just the word "Hui", isn't it "dizzy".
After this riddle came out, the meaning was very clear, but before I knew the riddle, it was really difficult for someone to guess it, and people had to admire the person who guessed the riddle.
"I don't know who guessed this puzzle. Zhou Shimin asked curiously, his expression full of admiration and admiration.
The bystander stretched out his hand and pointed to a figure who had not yet gone far, and said, "That's the one." ”
Jiang Yun and Zhou Shimin followed his fingers and saw a familiar figure, it turned out to be him!
The person who guessed this puzzle was the lucky young scholar who had harvested a lot of red envelopes and rewards in the audience, which made the two of them resentful for a while.
"This kid really has a hand at guessing riddles, and he made a lot of money tonight. Zhou Shimin made no secret of his envy and jealousy.
"Yes, I've made at least a few taels of silver tonight. Jiang Yun also had to admit that this was a bull.
"Let's go, let's see what the lantern riddle of Lord Wang is. At this time, Zhou Shimin aroused a little fighting spirit, and walked quickly towards the most crowded lantern on the stage at the moment.
Seeing the people on the third floor inside and the three layers outside, Jiang Yun was also very curious, what kind of problem happened to that Lord Wang, so many people at the scene were helpless, and no one guessed it so far, so he immediately walked over there.
Outside the crowd under the lantern, the two looked at the puzzle on the lantern, and saw that the puzzle was clearly written on it: What is faith--type the words of a saint.
Seeing this puzzle, Zhou Shimin's expression moved, and he said to himself: "It seems that this puzzle is not too difficult." ”
Jiang Yun also felt that this was the case, in the words of the sage, there was a lot of discussion about faith, and this question should not be difficult to answer, but then I thought about it, it was precisely because there were many discussions, but there was only one answer to this riddle, maybe this puzzle is difficult here, I don't know which sentence is in line with the king's mind.
Someone next to him heard Zhou Shimin's words and chuckled: "Isn't it difficult? It's not difficult that so many people will stand here for a long time, and no one can guess it." ”
Zhou Shimin did not believe in evil, and after a little thought, he said loudly: "I guess 'those who believe in heaven are also the way of heaven, and those who think about believers are also the way of man!'"
After that, a middle-aged man in a green robe who looked at the lantern with anticipation should be the housekeeper of Lord Wang's mansion.
Before the palace housekeeper could express his position, someone next to him already sneered: "Someone has already guessed this, it's not right." ”
Zhou Shimin thought about it, this answer was too obvious, and it was not strange that it was wrong, otherwise it would have been guessed a long time ago.
He hurriedly pondered again, thought of another sentence, and blurted out: "I guess again, 'don't deceive yourself inside, don't deceive others outside'!"
"No, no, someone has already guessed. Someone next to him shook his head.
Zhou Shimin wrinkled his brows, thought about it again, and said, "I guess again, 'People don't have faith, I don't know what they can do!'"
"I've been told for a long time, so I'm waiting for you to come. Another man shouted.
Only then did Zhou Shimin know that this question seemed easy and simple, but in fact it was not so easy to guess, but he was unwilling, thought about it again, and said: "I'll guess again, 'words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful'!"
"I guess ......"
He said several words in a row, but unfortunately he didn't repeat what someone had said, or he said it wrong, which made the people next to him look sideways, whether this person was here to guess the riddle or to cover the question.
Of course, guessing riddles, riddles are to be guessed, he has to guess so many by himself, and no one cares about him.
"I said Zhou Shimin, don't you be embarrassed here, it doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, don't lose the face of the academy. ”
Someone next to him finally couldn't look at it, and the person who spoke sarcastically and spoke was the one who is now in the limelight and the undoubted biggest winner tonight, Min Wei.
Zhou Shimin turned his head and saw him, he was angry in his heart, and sneered at each other: "I guess the riddle is your, aren't you Min Wei very powerful, why can't you guess this, I see that the first two you guessed, but it happened to be in the blindfold, if you guess this again, it is the real ability!"
Min Wei snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, thought for a while, and then his expression moved, and he arched his hand towards the palace housekeeper and said: "I guess 'faith is close to righteousness, and words can be repeated'!"
Hearing him speak, everyone looked moved, it seems that this Min Wei is really ambitious, this is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, the posture of the three degrees of success, not only guessed the riddle of the county order Lord Liu, the county Cheng Xiong, but now hit the idea on the body of the Sect King, if he really guessed it, even in the middle of the three yuan, then he can be red and purple, in contrast, this many candidates present suddenly looked overshadowed, and their faces were shameless.
Everyone's eyes looked at the palace steward, waiting for his reply, in the minds of everyone, they expected that Min Wei's answer was wrong, and they didn't want the other party to take up the limelight again, and they lost this almost last chance.
In the concerned eyes of everyone, the palace steward smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Master Min guessed wrong. ”
When Min Wei heard this, a touch of disappointment appeared on his face, and the other people around him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, they didn't guess, then they still have a chance.
"Anyway, you didn't get caught in it, but you know that your talent is nothing more than that, you just happened to be blinded by you just now!" Zhou Shimin caught the other party's sore foot this time, and lost no time in hitting it.
Min Wei snorted coldly, but he ignored it and disdained to argue with the other party.
"Is Min Wei Min Gongzi, who guessed the riddle of Lord Liu and Lord Xiong, here!" At this moment, they heard a few shouts from outside the crowd, and everyone looked back and saw a person dressed as a servant, walking towards the four and asking loudly.
Min Wei's expression moved, and he immediately separated the crowd, walked to the side of the officer, and bowed: "It's Min Wei below, I don't know what the official is looking for me?"
When the official saw him, he looked at him a few times, and asked confirmatively, "You are the son of Min Wei Min who guessed the riddle of Lord Liu and Lord Xiong?"
Min Wei said: "Yes, in the next fluke, it is the person who guessed the two adult lantern riddles." ”
The official smiled, bowed and said, "Lord Sect King is here, I heard about Master Min, and invited Master Min to talk about it." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd, and all kinds of surprise, envy, jealousy, etc., all fell on Min Wei in the field.
When Min Wei heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to the officer: "Please also ask the messenger to lead the way, and go to see Lord Wang in the next place!"
The official nodded, and immediately led the other party to a pergola temporarily erected by the platform. I faintly saw that there were a few people in Confucian costumes drinking tea and chatting in the shed, which should be the Lord of the Teachings and some celebrities and gentry in the city who accompanied them.
Xu was stimulated by this incident, and after Min Wei left with the servants, the crowd under the riddle began a new wave of guessing craze.
"I guess 'the people can't stand without faith'!"
"I guess 'if you don't know how to be sincere, you can't move people'"
"I guess 'a promise will be a promise!'"
"I guess 'treating people with the truth, not only benefiting people, but also benefiting people'!"
......
Everyone was gossiping and shouting, but unfortunately the palace steward standing under the riddle lamp kept shaking his head, and these answers were not correct.
Seeing this, everyone was gone, some people were still unwilling, and continued to search for dry intestines there, Jiang Yun was also there to think about it, but he didn't have a clue for a while.
At this time, Zhou Shimin next to him gently pushed him with his elbow, he raised his head, followed the other party's gaze, and saw a person walking briskly towards this side, isn't it who is the young scholar who has harvested countless red envelopes and made a small fortune tonight.
Is this person coming to grab the red envelope again? Seeing this person, Jiang Yun's heart was anxious for no reason, and this urgency actually made him have a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly thought of a sentence, and couldn't help but blurt out: "I guessed, I guessed the riddle!"
