Chapter 20: The Impatiens (1)
Seeing that someone was the first to finish writing, the maid in Tsing Yi came over, and did not open the rice paper to look at it, but put it aside, and at the same time, the maid in blue who was observing the incense on the side said in a coquettish voice: "Fang Gongzi completed the flower riddle, and the time was one-tenth of the pillar of incense." ”
Hearing that Fang Ling thought about it so quickly, some people were surprised and some were suspicious, Ling Xiaoran sneered, in his opinion, Fang Ling must have been lucky to guess the riddle before coming in, and he actually constructed the flower riddle so quickly, I'm afraid it was for luck, thinking that if he wrote it on the wrong side, he would not be able to guess it, but when he finally revealed the riddle, he must have to write out the construction method by himself, if the construction method is not right, then it is not a real flower riddle, and it will naturally be regarded as a failure.
So Ling Xiaoran didn't take this little businessman's child in his eyes, and thought about it for a while, and only when he was three tenths of a pillar of incense did he construct the flower riddle, and at the same time, Duan Zixuan also constructed the flower riddle.
With the passage of time, some people began to hand in the flower riddle, two maids one to collect the volume, one to write down the time, until fifteen people handed over, a pillar of incense only seven tenths.
The two maids in Tsing Yi lit two sticks of incense and said to everyone: "Next, the two slaves and maids will solve the riddle for the sons." ”
After that, one person picked up a roll of rice paper and spread it flat in front of the table, and through the back of the rice paper, everyone could clearly distinguish the words written on it, and they all silently thought about the answer to the riddle.
The first two flower riddles to read were naturally the last two scholars to hand in the volume, and it took seven-tenths of a pillar of incense to complete, however, the second daughter carefully interpreted for a while, and then said the answer to the riddle, as soon as the mystery was said, the faces of the two scholars changed, and for a while they were a little embarrassed, because the other party only spent three-tenths of the time of the incense.
Although this riddle was thought up in a hurry, but it was also a proud work of painstaking effort, and the two scholars even thought that this riddle could be very amazing, but the result was like this, the two of them sighed in unison, and were even more embarrassed to stay here, and left the tower in a hurry.
One by one, the rice paper was opened, and one by one the mysteries were revealed, and the two maids showed amazing cracking ability, which surprised everyone present, even Fang Ling, couldn't help but praise secretly.
To learn knowledge, we must first keep it in mind, and the second and most important thing is to use it reasonably. What is needed to solve the riddle is the rational use of all kinds of knowledge, and if it is not for quick thinking, it will definitely not be able to solve the riddle constructed by everyone racking their brains in a short period of time.
As a leader, most of the scholars are arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and they have always looked down on others, but they would have expected that they would fall in front of the two maids, and they couldn't raise their heads like defeated roosters, and they were ashamed.
However, although the two maids are quite talented in solving puzzles, they are still quite inferior in talent in the face of the children of prestigious families like Ling Xiaoran and Duan Zixuan, so they did not solve it in a limited time, so that the two of them won smoothly.
After the two won, they told the answer to the riddle and the method of making the riddle in front of everyone, and they talked eloquently, quite smug.
