Chapter 90: A Copper Coin
Hearing his shout, countless eyes looked at him, but there was obvious contempt and disdain in his eyes, not believing that he had really guessed, in fact, many people just now swore so much that they thought they had guessed correctly, but the results turned out to be wrong.
Even Zhou Shimin thought so, and said in his heart that when he saw this young scholar who was good at guessing riddles, he was in a hurry, and he said casually, but he definitely didn't want to be blinded.
He looked at the young scholar who came over, and he was quite expectant in his heart, wondering if this good brother could guess this riddle. In his opinion, the most powerful guessing master tonight is not the Min Wei who occupies the limelight, but this benevolent brother, but this person is low-key and only makes a fortune in a muffled voice, so he is not known.
The young scholar came to the riddle lamp, glanced up at the puzzle on it, and then bowed his head and groaned.
Jiang Yun was really anxious at the moment, for fear that this person would take the lead and guess the riddle, so he immediately separated the crowd, walked quickly to the palace housekeeper under the riddle lamp, and arched his hand and said: "What is faith, I guess 'don't lose people, and don't lose words', I don't know if it's right!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone was thoughtful, and some of them were quick-witted, and they had already shown a sudden realization.
In this way, this answer is eight times out of ten, and nine times it is really true!
The people who came to their senses looked at Jiang Yun with all kinds of eyes, some were surprised and admired, some were envious and jealous, and some were still lucky, looking at the palace housekeeper with blank eyes, expecting to say something wrong from the other party's mouth.
The palace housekeeper smiled slightly and said, "This prince is right, and the answer is 'don't lose people, and don't lose words'!"
There was an uproar in the field, following the county order's lantern riddle was guessed, the lantern riddle of the king of the teachings was finally guessed, but unfortunately the person who guessed the lantern riddle was not himself.
At this moment, there is no doubt that Jiang Yun, who guessed the riddle, has become the focus of attention of the audience, everyone's eyes are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, everyone can guess that after the Lord Wang learned that his lantern riddle was guessed, most of them would also invite the person who guessed the riddle to see it, that is to say, Jiang Yun also had the opportunity to show his face in front of this Lord Wang, which was a great opportunity for everyone to envy.
The people of Qinghe Academy, who recognized Jiang Yun, were also very surprised, but they didn't expect that it would be Jiang Yun who guessed the mystery of Lord Wang in the end, that Zhou Shimin, who was also stunned at the moment, and couldn't believe this fact.
How is this possible, there are so many talented people present, they didn't guess this riddle, but this nerd guessed it, Zhou Shimin was really surprised, and said in his heart, yes, it must be a coincidence, and he walked the dog.
Just like that Min Wei, how can he be virtuous, he guessed the lantern riddles of Liu Xianling and Xiong Xiancheng one after another, isn't it just out of coincidence.
Zhou Shimin figured it out, but no matter what, Jiang Yun was able to guess it, he was still very happy, and he was already thinking in his heart, waiting for him to get the red envelope reward in the riddle lantern, he must invite him to drink to celebrate.
In front of everyone's eyes, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion then took out a red envelope from the riddle lantern and handed it to Jiang Yun's hand.
Jiang Yun stretched out his hand to take it with joy, but soon it felt a little wrong, the weight of the red envelope seemed to be lighter, it seemed that there were not many copper coins, but it could also be silver coins, gold beans?
Under the suspicion in his heart, he couldn't help but open the red envelope on the spot, open it and take a look, but under this look, he couldn't help but be stunned, full of joy and became cold, almost unbelievable.
I saw that there was nothing else in the red envelope, only a copper coin with a yellow and clear round square hole, lying there alone.
A copper coin, there is only one copper coin!
Jiang Yun couldn't believe it, raised his head, looked at the palace housekeeper, and wanted the other party to explain, but the palace housekeeper didn't want to explain anything at all, he still smiled, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.
Someone next to him also noticed that there was only one copper coin in the red envelope in Jiang Yun's hand, but after being stunned for a while, they didn't care anymore, guessing the riddles of these adults, the reward was insignificant, is there any difference between a penny and a hundred yuan, no, the important thing is to take this opportunity to get the appreciation of the adults, this is the most important thing.
Not to mention that there is a copper coin of the lottery, even if there is no one at all, it is also a big profit.
So although I saw that there was only one copper coin in the red envelope, everyone present didn't care, and felt that something was wrong, and they were still envious and jealous of someone.
They didn't care, they didn't think there was anything wrong, but Jiang Yun cared and felt that there was a big problem in it.
Could it be that this palace housekeeper is greedy for the red envelope reward? As soon as this thought flashed, he ruled it out, and he felt that the other party would not have such great courage, such low-level taste, and dare to be greedy for the red envelope reward of this lantern riddle.
This is simply unreasonable, Jiang Yun was angry in his heart, you said that the teachings of a county are dignified, not to mention the strange lantern riddles, and the final reward is only one penny of copper coins, isn't this deliberately playing tricks on the cold people, such a stingy and stingy is really rare, even the Liu County Order, there are still a hundred pennies!
The more Jiang Yun thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and even the originally appreciative smile of the palace steward in front of him became very hateful in his eyes, and he was clearly laughing.
Now he was really angry, he worked hard to guess a lantern riddle, is it easy for him, there is only one copper coin in this red envelope? What can a penny copper coin be used for, can you buy three buns, no, you can only buy two, or vegetarian stuffing.
In the shed on the other side, a middle-aged scribe wearing a high crown, a stone blue robe, and a white fish-scale gold belt tied around his waist was sitting on the main seat, and this person was Wang Xuan, the prefect of the county. Next to him, accompanied by some people in gorgeous brocade robes, they were all some celebrities and gentry in the county.
Opposite these people, there stood a handsome student with a square scarf on his head, wearing a white shirt, and a respectful expression, who was none other than Min Wei, who was summoned by the Sect King.
"You are the one who guessed the riddles of Lord Liu and Lord Xiong one after another? I heard that you are a student of Qinghe Academy?" Wang Xuan put his short beard under his chin and looked at Min Wei opposite him with a look of appreciation.
Min Wei looked calm, and replied: "Student Min Wei is a student of Qinghe Academy, and it was pure luck that he guessed the riddle of the two adults this time. ”
Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, Qinghe Academy is really talented, and what is even more rare is that it is talented and not arrogant, not bad, not bad." ”
In the academy, Min Wei has always been a conceited and arrogant person, but of course he knows the severity, and at this moment, he has won the praise of the other party, his expression is more and more respectful and low-key, and he is modest, and said something "I am not talented enough to learn, and I still need to continue to study diligently".
At that moment, Wang Xuan asked him some questions about his family history, and Min Wei answered them one by one, gentle and polite, and orderly, and Wang Xuan was even more satisfied.
As he was talking here, he saw a servant hurriedly walk in from outside, walked quickly to Wang Xuan, who was sitting on the main seat, and whispered a few words in the other party's ear.
When Wang Xuan heard this, he immediately smiled, and turned his head to the people in the room: "The county is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and Wang's lantern riddle has been guessed." ”
When the people in the audience heard this, they praised and praised again.
Wang Xuan groaned slightly, and instructed the servant: "You go and call the person who guessed my riddle, and say that I will see him." ”
The servant said yes and hurried out of the house.
Min Wei stood there, hearing this, and couldn't help but be curious, I don't know who guessed the person who guessed Lord Wang's lantern riddle, and what was the riddle?
At this time, Wang Xuan picked up the teacup on the coffee table next to him, took a sip, Min Wei saw this, and immediately said goodbye to Zhiji, this time I saw Lord Wang, and won the praise of the other party, and the goal has been achieved.
Wang Xuan didn't leave him either, nodded and let him go.
On the platform outside, a large group of people were still gathered under the riddle lamp of Lord Wang, refusing to disperse for a long time, and Jiang Yun undoubtedly became the lucky one who was the focus of attention of the audience at this moment, everyone knew that Lord Wang Xuan was likely to send someone to summon Jiang Yun next, and he was envious of this.
And at this moment, someone who is envious in everyone's eyes is dumb in his heart, and he can't say anything about his suffering, and he just wants to scold his mother.
Zhou Shimin was also a little depressed at the moment, originally he planned that Jiang Yun would get the red envelope reward from Lord Wang's lantern riddle, and then go to eat and drink to celebrate, but he didn't expect that Lord Wang made a prank, and only put a copper coin in the lantern, which was really speechless.
It seems that the matter of eating and drinking is in vain, but he also thinks that Lord Wang's prank is harmless, the important thing is that Jiang Yun actually guessed Lord Wang's riddle, which is a good thing, and Lord Wang should meet him next.
He was also envious of this in his heart, seeing Jiang Yun with a calm face and not saying a word, he thought that the other party was happy, or he was nervous about the next meeting with Lord Wang, so he immediately mentioned: "Pingchuan, don't be too nervous, wait for Lord Wang to meet you, you just have to behave well, show your talents, and make a good impression on Lord Wang." ”
Jiang Yun naturally didn't hear his words at all.
"Whoever has solved Lord Wang's riddle, come with me, Lord Wang invites you to talk about it!" At this time, the official who had been ordered by Wang Xuan walked quickly towards the riddle lantern, shouting loudly as he walked.
Sure enough, Lord Wang summoned him! The crowd automatically separated a way, and the eyes that looked at Jiang Yun were even more envious.
"Who, who solved the riddle of Lord Wang?" the official walked into the crowd, came to the riddle lamp, turned his head and asked loudly, but no one answered him for a while. It's not that you don't mean not to answer, it's just that the main owner is here, and you don't want to take the lead.
But Jiang Yun stood there, but he didn't squeak for a long time, which was unexpected.
