Chapter 19: Guessing the Flower Puzzle (1)

Seeing that there was plenty of time, his eyes fell on the pieces of paper hanging on the rope, and the scholars and scholars present all looked up at the pieces of paper, some meditating alone, and some were talking to each other, helping each other, and the two twin maids did not seem to be interested in the situation off the field, but quietly stood on both sides of the tower.

Fang Ling walked to a corner where there were fewer people, and his eyes fell on the piece of paper on the rope, on which a line of small characters was written in Juanxiu's penmanship: The leaves are like new Pu Green, and the body is like a messy brocade. Let you peel off thousands of degrees, and your spirit will soar to the sky.

As soon as Fang Ling saw this text, he couldn't help but secretly praise it.

The flower riddle is a kind of lantern riddle, and the lantern riddle is also a hidden language. That is, through the characteristics of the thing itself to imply things, the history of the riddle has a long history, if you want to guess the riddle there are also many methods, such as the word splitting method, the separation method, the addition method, the derogation method, the half-face method and so on dozens of kinds, which also makes the riddle complex and changeable, if you can't grasp the trick, or drill the tip of the horns, or find the wrong way, it is likely to be at a loss.

However, any kind of lantern riddle has the same characteristic, that is, there is a mystery first, and then there is a riddle. In other words, the author works backwards from the puzzle and then reverses the puzzle according to a certain method of solving the puzzle.

But if you want the riddle to form a poem, and you can make the riddle impossible to figure out, it is enough to see the foundation.

However, for Fang Ling, who is familiar with the characteristics of various flowers and plants, he can quickly capture what is hidden between the lines, so after thinking about it for a while, he guessed that the mystery is a palm tree flower.

Palm tree is a plant that grows in the remote areas of the south, palm tree flowers are its flowers, palm trees are not as familiar to people in the north as peonies, moon seasons and the like, not to mention that many people do not know that palm trees can still bloom, and to connect this mystery with it, it is more difficult, if it is not a knowledgeable, quick thinking person, I am afraid it is really difficult to guess for a while.

This mystery alone made Fang Ling feel that this Miss Mo family was really quite talented, and this was only the first level to get started, and there were three major levels after entering the tower, and it must be better than one level.

After learning the answer to the riddle, Fang Ling took down the piece of paper, but he didn't hand it over, but walked under the rope, solving other puzzles with great interest, and the more he solved, the more he felt that this Mo family's young lady's talent was amazing.

Using the riddle to reverse the riddle, of course, is very simple, but to be like Miss Mojia, not only the characteristics of the flower are hidden in the riddle, but also difficult to start, and can form beautiful and graceful verses, which is really rare, and every poem here is close to the flower environment as the mystery, which is both like telling the story and as if it is easy to do.

Seeing Fang Ling walking by the rope, Ling Xiaoran sneered disdainfully, he didn't believe that such a silk merchant's son still had the ability to solve this flower mystery.

The long incense is getting shorter and shorter, and many scholars have handed in the mystery, and some scholars really can't think of it, so they think of one casually and write it on it to try their luck.

Only then did Fang Ling walk to the table in front of the tower, take a pen, write the mystery and his name on the back of the piece of paper, and hand it to one of the maidservants.
