At this time, Qin Ke had already solved the fifteenth lantern riddle, the third pot of wine had been served on the table, and there were not many lanterns hanging on the table.

Everyone in the audience didn't dare to underestimate Qin Ke anymore, and even many people sat down to invite him to drink, calling him brother and brother.

Qin Ke couldn't cry or laugh, in fact, he didn't feel that he had much knowledge, but he was a little at a loss for this kind of respect, so he could only clink glasses with others, drink, and his face was ruddy.

Of course, if Gao Yishui was here, he would probably have to mock Qin Ke unconsciously.

Most of the people in this wine fairy residence are the children of middle-class officials and eunuchs, and the so-called fame of these people is, in the final analysis, just relying on the reputation of their fathers, so that some people are willing to praise them.

With their growth environment with a golden key in their mouths, how many of them can calm down and study? Scholars from poor families can study hard for ten years, day and night, but if it were them, I am afraid that it will not be long before they yawn for days.

In comparison, Qin Ke was taught by Zhuge Wolong when he was young, and then studied in Taixue Hall after Jingwu, even if his knowledge may not be comparable to those real talents in the world, but in comparison, most of the so-called "talents" in this wine fairy house are just empty straw bales.

After a few glasses of wine, that Chen Gongzi had already answered twenty-eight questions, and a few scholars who had been calm also began to answer the questions, and the atmosphere in the entire Jiuxian Juli became more and more hot, and it seemed that everyone was competing for something, maybe it was the first jar of wine, or maybe it was a name that could stand out?

At least from this point, it can be seen that Jiuxianju is very able to grasp the psychology of these people, and through the gimmick of guessing riddles, these people are attracted here, and for the title of "top prize", the scholars are constantly vying, which also creates this scene full of guests.

I don't know who the boss of this wine fairy house is, who can be so smart.

When the lanterns were almost all taken off, the juniors in the Jiuxian Ju finally had a new move, and they began to hang different colors of lanterns in the building one by one again, but this time the puzzles above were much more difficult than at the beginning, not only the Chen Gongzi who had always been unstoppable, but even some of the scholars who gradually showed their prominence in the follow-up puzzles also frowned rarely, and they were all thinking about it.

"The gentleman doesn't use his mouth, do you type?" Qin Ke smiled slightly bitterly, most of the previous puzzles were spelling, even he could answer a lot, but now the difficulty of this lantern riddle has suddenly increased so much, he feels that he can't answer it.

And at this time, a clear voice came from upstairs: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, the riddle is "literacy", and it is dismantled into "only words". ”

Xiao Er's face remained unchanged, but after the name that had never been answered, he drew the first horizontal, and then said loudly: "Cai Yan Cai Gongzi, solve a puzzle!"

Qin Ke was stunned, he didn't expect that the puzzle he was looking at would be solved in an instant, and the person who solved it seemed to be involved halfway like himself, so he could only smile bitterly, thinking that there was always no shortage of learned talents in this world.

However, he didn't want to take the lead, he just wanted to delay the time, and he was idle and bored to get involved, so he didn't care much, his eyes turned slightly, and he continued to look towards the next one.

"From the early winter to the front, play a solar term. Qin Ke frowned, compared to the previous guess of the word, this guess of the solar term made him even more confused.

However, the clear voice upstairs sounded again, and the confidence in that voice could be said to be confident: "From the beginning of winter to the front, it is naturally the summer solstice." ”

The voice replied very quickly, and it could even be said that without thinking, just when most of the people downstairs were still pondering, that voice was constantly answering the riddle, just Qin Ke's kung fu of drinking a glass of wine, this Cai Yan's name had already appeared in Xiao Er's mouth five times, and at this time, the others added up to only two.

Although the lantern riddle is far from the Avenue of Poetry and Literature, it is possible to easily answer these difficult questions, which shows that this Cai Yan has real talent and learning, and there is such a master in the Jiuxian Residence, which makes everyone talk about it.

I don't know which family this scholar is, or is he a scholar from a poor family like Qin Ke?

Compared with Jing Wu, in fact, the court of the Tang State is more clear, after all, although the Tang State is also full of scholars, but the government has always been in the hands of the Li family, even if the township and county recommendation system is weakening year by year, it has never been broken, and there are still many poor students who are willing to study hard, after all, as long as they can be officials, it is always a matter of honoring their ancestors.

"Brother Chen, you have seen a lot of people, I don't know if you can hear anything from this voice......?"

The scholar's face changed as soon as his face changed, and he immediately said, "Impossible." There are only two men in Cai Zhu's country, and He has heard of a son named 'Cai Yan'. ”

"That's weird. Could it be that he is a poor scholar?"

"I don't know. Chen Yi looked at the stairs, but he wanted to go up and see it with his own eyes, but he felt that he couldn't pull this face, if he was curious and went to see, wouldn't it prove that he was not as good as others?

Although it is not ashamed to enter the temple to burn incense and worship the mountain gate, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to make a friend who has met people, but this is not a college of letters, and in normal times, he is a big deal to toast, maybe the two of them can still have a good time.

But today, this is not a big temple to accommodate scholars, but a Shura field that competes with each other. He was also watched by a group of official ladies, and he was not surrounded by ordinary people's children, if he was soft at this time, how would he have face?

And most of the other scholars had the same plan with him, listening to that Cai Yan had already answered two more lantern riddles, they were all anxious, looking at the lanterns above their heads one by one, frowning and pondering.

However, Qin Ke didn't have the kind of face that he couldn't let go, he didn't come in to come out on top, let alone show off in front of these women, and even his purpose at the beginning was not to guess the riddle, just to see the reaction of the person who was following him.

At the moment, he also drank two pots of wine, but in terms of his cultivator's physique, two pots of wine could not even make him feel a little drowsy, but after the wine seeped into the blood, it traveled all over the body, and finally turned into heat emitted, making Qin Ke feel warm on his body.

The pickled radish and phoenix feet had also been eaten, so he simply stood up and walked upstairs in full view of everyone.

Anyway, it's fun to come out, and he happens to be a little curious about how this "Cai Yan" son is outstanding, so it's good to take a look.

As soon as he went up the stairs, a woman walked down the stairs quickly from the upstairs and collided with him, in a panic, Qin Ke used a slight force to support his body in one step, so he didn't roll down from the upstairs with the woman on the spot.

He helped the woman up hard, and recognized that this was the woman called Sister Yu, but looking at her peach blossom face, it didn't look like she was drunk.

"Are you okay?" Qin Ke rarely looked at a woman like this, but fortunately, the smell of wine on his face covered his blush.

"Thank you, childe. Sister Yu didn't seem to be thinking about Qin Ke at all, and ran downstairs regardless of it, Qin Ke tilted her head slightly, and saw a table of women waiting for Sister Yu, the "spy", to come down, and she seemed a little impatient.

And Sister Yu's eyes were fluttering, with a little flattery, and her eyebrows fluttered and said: "Yingying, you are wrong this time, this Cai Yan Gongzi is not a child of a poor family, looking at the quality of the clothes on his body, I am afraid that it is the fabric of Wutong Cloth Village, and one horse will cost a hundred taels of silver, where is this that those poor literati can afford to wear? By the way, the jade pendant on his waist, just talking about the quality, I am afraid that even the jade Ruyi that my father often plays with can't compare to it." ”

All the women laughed, and Yingying said a little unconvinced: "How is this possible? The Cai family in Ding'an City, only Cai Zhuguo is still powerful, where did this Cai Yan come from?"
