Chapter 18: The Name of a Talented Woman (2)

I don't know how long I walked, the street scene in front of me changed, suddenly there was a four-storey tower, although the tower is not high, but it landed on the high place in the city, surrounded by trees, very elegant and quiet, and the tower was built very exquisitely, each floor has and magnificent carvings and paintings, standing under the tower and looking at it from afar, you can see that the spire seems to be next to the stars in the sky, and on the plaque of that layer of the tower, there are three big characters: the star picking tower.

What made Fang Ling even more interested was that the rope that originally hung the flower riddle paper had been broken under the tower, but there seemed to be a flower riddle area in the tower, and the people around there were all scholars shaking their heads and holding paper fans.

Seeing the curiosity on Fang Ling's face, Meng Zhiyuan explained, "That's the flower riddle set up by Miss Mo herself. ”

"Miss Mo Family?" Fang Ling said in surprise.

Meng Zhiyuan replied: "Miss Mo's name is Mo Xiang, she just turned 18 this year, but she has long been a well-known talented woman, it is said that she has amazing knowledge and a wide range of world, even the contemporary Hongru is not as good as everyone, just the year before last, Wang Wei, a member of the Cabinet University, made a special trip here, and only stayed in the Mo family for half a day, when he left the state, someone asked him whether Miss Mo was worthy of his name, he only sighed, there is such a talented woman in the north, Wang Wei is ashamed of himself, so everyone called Miss Mo the first talented woman in the north. ”

"Oh, even a scholar Wang can be so impressed?" Fang Ling couldn't help but be interested, he was deep in the palace, so he naturally knew Wang Wei's name, this person was a well-educated person among the cabinet scholars, and he was a well-known arrogant person, if he could convince such a person, then this talented woman of the Mo family was probably not simple.

Meng Zhiyuan said again: "Miss Mo is not only amazingly knowledgeable, it is said that she is also a national beauty and a beautiful person, and she has the posture of captivating the country and the city." It's just that she has always lived in the boudoir, except for the Hongru family who is qualified to talk to her, ordinary people can't see her at all. This star-picking building is made by the craftsmen of the Mo family, and I heard that it is also one of the industries of the Mo family, although the Mo family is not a prestigious family, but it is also quite famous for its good craftsmanship. Since the age of 13, every year during the Lantern Festival, Miss Mo will set up a flower riddle downstairs, and anyone who can uncover the mystery can enter the tower to break through the three puzzles she has set, and it is said that as long as you can pass the third level, you can meet her and talk about the scriptures. ”

Fang Ling listened to the deeper meaning of these words, and said in surprise: "Listening to the meaning of this, it seems that in the past five years, no one has been able to break through to the third level?"

Meng Zhiyuan said: "That's right, and every year, talented people from other provinces come from far away, and many of them are well-known young men in the local area, but they all return without exception." ”

Song Ying'er was also surprised when she heard it: "Speaking of which, this Miss Mo is really powerful, and it's no wonder that so many scholars are gathered downstairs, it turns out that it is to seek a beautiful side." ”

Meng Zhiyuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Although I haven't met Miss Mo, I can guarantee that no matter how beautiful she is, how can she be as beautiful as one thousandth of Miss Song? ”
