Lin An Trace Chapter 36 Guess the lantern riddle
As the three of them turned, their swords were sheathed.
At this moment, the eighth-equal parts of black ironwood only landed.
It all happened so fast that before everyone could be surprised, the wood was split open.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Shen Xingliu clapped his palms and woke up everyone who was still surprised.
Although I don't understand, why only three swords were swung, but eight pieces of wood fell, if you want to ask, it is still the other party is too fast.
And then there were constantly beautiful words all around, like a tide.
Lin Shiyu, who put the sword into the sheath, lost his momentum and returned to his pitiful appearance.
Hearing these compliments, I saw that her face was flushed, and even the roots of her ears were hot.
Shen Xingliu smiled helplessly, beckoned the old bustard, and asked, "Can they go in?" β
"WhenγOf course you can... Four please! β
The old bustard stepped out of the way, and when he invited them in, he looked the four of them up and down.
Although I don't understand why there are still three women going in, but the black man has spoken, so let them in.
"Thank you! See you in then. Zhou Tong arched his hand and led the three of them in.
After entering, the turtle man took a few people to the table.
"Senior brother... How do I feel weird? β
Lin Shiyu grabbed the sleeve of her senior brother and asked in a low voice: "That fat woman just now, why do you look at us like that, are we recognized?" β
"Roar, what do you think? How many people does the bustard have to see in a day, and it is not easy to recognize you? β
Zhou Tong and the others followed Gui Gong to the second floor, and in the center of the first floor, a gorgeous stage had already been erected.
......
"Hero, aren't you going in?" The bustard asked softly.
Shen Xingliu waved his hand, "Oh, I'll go in later, you can get busy first." β
casually sent away the bustard, and he went to find Tang Xuanxuan and the others, as for the big man, he followed a thug in frustration and obediently went to the backyard to sign the deed of sale.
At this time, the people in front of the Hongyun Building were divided into two groups, one group of literati went to see the lanterns in front of the wooden frame, and the other group of warriors went to split black iron and wood.
But what is surprising is that no one side dares to act rashly, after all, there is a lesson from the past.
"Aunt Hui, you said that this lantern riddle guessing, should there be rules?" Among them, a young man who came to Hongyun Tower for the first time asked weakly.
was ridiculed by the "veteran" on the side: "Haha, you can guess with confidence, Hui Niangzi really didn't cheat us scholars in this matter." β
There is also an old Xiucai in his forties next to him, Ying He said:
"Yes, but the students who can enter every year are only a few hands, just because these riddles are too difficult, and many of them are from the hands of Qionghua Academy..."
The young man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Oh, how should I guess this..."
Aunt Hui is also the old bustard just now, I saw her swaying her waist and walking to the stage, covering her mouth with a fan and smiling, and said:
"Don't worry, this year's lantern riddles have changed the number of paths, and only ten are written by everyone, and the rest are written by the girls in my Hongyun Building."
"Please give it a try."
With that, she bowed generously.
The students were all gearing up, and some of them had no desire to enter the building, and the reason why they came here was to join in the fun.
After the commotion just now, the sky was already slightly dark at this time, Aunt Hui waved her hand and shouted: "It's dark, come here, light the lamp!" β
In a few moments, all the lanterns were lit.
"Now the slave family will read the lantern riddle for you, how about it?"
Not to mention, although Aunt Hui is a little fat, this voice is really pleasant, and it has a bit of charm under the lights.
It is said that ten years ago, she was still one of the best beauties in Lin'an City, but unfortunately after being lost by a prodigal, she began to overeat and became what she is now.
"Oh, oh, oh..."
"Then there is Lao Hui's wife."
βΒ·Β·Β·β
The voice is like a spring breeze in the ears, and the applause is continuous for a while, and there is no one who should not.
Shen Xingliu also wanted to respond, but the tender meat on his waist was held, so he could only cough twice and put down his arms.
"Then start the first question, 'Eight thousand miles of mountains and mountains, thirty years of hometown care', guess two words!"
After that, Aunt Hui playfully stretched out two fingers and reminded.
But Rao is like this, and everyone is still scratching their ears and cheeks.
"Huh? How could there be such a strange word? "The boy has grown his mouth, and it is difficult to guess a word, but there are two words, how can he guess?
Lao Xiucai slapped his head and shouted excitedly: "Wowhaha, I know, I know!" β
"Oh? Please also ask this talented minister to teach him. Aunt Hui raised her eyebrows.
"Ahem, don't dare to be, don't dare to be,"
Xiucai stroked his beard, took a few steps forward, opened the folding fan and shook it:
"The peaks and mountains, the mountains, the mountains are horizontal, and then they are combined with the words eight and thousand, that is the word 'Bing'."
"Oh~~~"
Everyone nodded, "I see, you can still look at it like this." β
"Hey, I said, it's hard to say, aren't you? Why did you answer the first question now? β
Xiucai was a little embarrassed, and made a gesture again and again, and apologized: "Hehe, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke." β
"Don't be complacent, there's another word, unless you just want to go in half of your body, Hui Niangzi has started sharpening her knife, hahaha..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I also know the second word..."
Xiucai immediately understood the meaning of the words, and laughed: "As for the second word, it's a little difficult, just take thirty and 'stand' the word, the hometown is the hometown, and together it is the child..."
"But what about a heart?" Hui Niang asked with a frown.
Xiucai smiled slightly, "Put your heart upright, and it will become the word 'longing', I seem to see someone's homesickness from this anagram, dare to ask Hui Niangzi whose hand is this?" β
When he saw Aunt Hui in tears, there was no point in asking this question again.
"Sir, please come upstairs." Aunt Hui knew that she was a little out of shape, wiped away her tears, and asked sideways.
Xiucai bowed and returned the salute, sighed, and slowly walked towards the building with a fan.
"Let's laugh at it, let's move on,"
After adjusting her mood, Aunt Hui recited a few riddles again, but no one could answer, I have to say that the girl from Hongyunlou is still quite good at this.
"These are too difficult, Hui Niang, please change a few easier ones..."
Aunt Hui covered her mouth and smiled, "Giggles, the slave family will give you some simple ones, everyone, please look at this question, 'It is said that there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, a total of eighteen, fifty-two feet, ask the chickens and rabbits how much they are?" Which son knows? β
The crowd in front of the wooden frame exclaimed in surprise.
"Didn't you say okay, it's a charade? Why did you ask about arithmetic again? β
"yes, I wasn't prepared..."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Hui smiled slyly, "Hmm, who said that lantern riddles can't be arithmetic?" Which son knows the answer to this question, please come to the stage. β
Just as everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks, a dull voice sounded, "I can answer." β
Looking closely, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi, shaking a fan and walking out, Tang Xuanxuan came to the front of the person and bowed.
Now not only her appearance has changed, but even her voice has changed.
"Oh, this son, please answer." Aunt Hui stood in a higher position, and when she saw this person walking out of the black man, she must have come together.
Tang Xuanxuan bowed her head slightly, played with the fan, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "This question is very interesting and very simple, assuming that we let all the rabbits stand up and stand on two feet." β
caused everyone to laugh, "Poof, little brother, who do you think you are, you let the rabbit stand, and it stands?" β
"Don't waste time if you don't know, come down..."
"Hehe, you haven't tried it, how do you know you can't do it,"
Tang Xuanxuan's eyes rolled, "That's why I said this question is interesting, and I'm talking about what if, if eighteen are all chickens..."
These words made everyone stunned and nodded one after another, thinking that it was very reasonable.
Seeing this, Tang Xuanxuan continued: "In this way, we can conclude that there are thirty-six in the cage, and then fifty-two will be reduced by thirty-six." β
Someone in the audience patted their heads and praised: "Wow, it's really wonderful!" I didn't think of that..."
"It seems that some of you have also thought of it, yes, the 'sixteen' that will be obtained, in addition to the rabbit's erect feet, we can get that there are eight rabbits and ten chickens."
Aunt Hui was shocked in her heart, and was actually answered by this person, it seems that the people around Heixia should not be underestimated.
Immediately, she announced: "This son's answer is very good, the son can enter the building, but there is still a question here in the slave family, I don't know if I can give advice?" β
Tang Xuanxuan raised her eyebrows, "Let's hear it." β
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Hui pointed to the tallest lantern with a fan and said in a loud voice:
"The question is, 'There are things now, and I don't know how many them.'" Three or three count, two left; Five or five count, three left; Seven or seven counts, two left, ask the geometry of things? ββ
Everyone in the audience, who heard it in the clouds, shouted:
"How can there be such a strange number?"
"What the hell is this?"
Aunt Hui rolled her eyes, "It's me who made the question, you asked me?" And, I want to be what it is, and I want you to take care of it! β
"Hahaha, it's me who is lonely and unheard..." Everyone was embarrassed.
"Please also ask Childe to answer."
Aunt Hui saw her eyes rolling around, and she couldn't help but ask him for this question, but Tang Xuanxuan didn't say anything, but bowed down and said, "I know a person, I must know the answer to this question..."
Everyone still wanted to ask who this person was, but they saw Tang Xuanxuan beckoning and shouting: "Rugongzi, come quickly!" β
Shui Ruyi is in a daze, she can come here, she has already mustered up a lot of courage, how dare she go on stage?
At this time, I saw that Sister Xuanxuan was calling for herself, and she just wanted to retreat, but her body was light, and she flew directly to the stage.
When she looked back, it turned out to be a good thing done by Brother Shen!
For a while, I panicked in my heart, and thought: Woo woo, why does Brother Shen like to watch other people's jokes so much?
Everyone was still exclaiming who it was, and they were instantly attracted by this person's delicate face, such a beautiful young man is really rare in the world.
At this time, Shui Ruyi nervously shrunk into a ball, feeling like a rabbit in a cage, allowing others to comment.
Tang Xuanxuan stepped forward and whispered comforting: "Rugongzi, don't be afraid, show your usual state." β
