Chapter 51 Guess the Riddle

At this moment, the gifted scholars and beauties in the hall gathered together in groups of three or four, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

It seemed that Lu Fujing and Chen Qiaoxi seldom attended this kind of gatherings, because no one even greeted them when they entered this building.

Before the poetry meeting started, the four of them randomly found a table and sat down, out of tune with the noise around them, and seemed a little deserted.

But Zhang Twelve likes this way, sitting there, with a pair of thief eyes wandering around, looking at the pretty girls in the building, but muttering "too much, too much".

"Oh, isn't this the bookboy!"

Hearing the voice of the male duck behind him, Zhang Twelve really couldn't laugh or cry, why did this bastard linger on with him?
"It turned out to be the son of a bastard, disrespect and disrespect!"

While talking, he bowed to Wang Ba, if people don't know, they would think how good the relationship between these two is.

Wang Ba snorted, obviously not wanting to have a relationship with him, and said with a smirk: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, you can stroll around the building by yourself, and the backyard poetry meeting, you can't even think about it." Don't think about it!"

"Oh?"

What is this saying?Zhang Twelve looked at Chen Qiaoxi next to him with a puzzled expression.

"This prince is telling the truth. Drunken Spring Building stipulates that each family can bring one person in with an invitation letter, but it is only limited to the building. Poetry clubs are not allowed to enter, unless..."

Chen Qiaoxi whispered this into his ear, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Wang Ba.

"Haha, you just want to enter the poetry club as a book boy, it's just wishful thinking!"

Zhang Twelve squinted his eyes and looked at the poetic-looking scholar behind Wang Ba, thinking that Wang Ba had no ink, and he would not dare to come to the poetry meeting by himself, so the scholar behind him must be He invited it again, since he can go in, he himself, hehe...

"Dare to ask, Mr. Wang, the brother behind you wants to attend the poetry meeting with you?"

"That's natural!" Wang Ba said with a look of disdain: "I specially invited Mr. Chen, and he is very talented. How can a plagiarist like you compare?"

Well, until now, Wang Ba thought he was a plagiarist. Such a stubborn fool is indeed rare!

"You only have an invitation letter, even if you invited me, then Mr. Chen can't go in?"

"Mr. Chen is so talented that he can answer a lantern riddle casually. Why can't he enter?"

Chen Qiaoxi came over and whispered something to Zhang Twelve before he understood.

It turns out that the lanterns with the word "mystery" written on them in the hall are lantern riddles or couplets. If the servants brought in by the master want to enter the backyard poetry meeting, they need to pull down a lantern at random and answer the riddles or a pair correctly. pass.

Because the servants who came in didn't read much, the lantern riddles and pairs were quite difficult for them, so it was basically a decoration, but few people could answer it.

But what about Zhang Twelve?Hehe, what's so difficult about it?

Zhang Twelve walked over, took off a lantern casually, and took out a white cloth strip inside. It turned out to be a lantern riddle, and the riddle was as follows:
"Love each other before and after, less contact in between."

Seeing this riddle, Zhang Twelve frowned, but he was thinking in his heart, what is it?
Seeing Zhang Twelve frowning, Wang Ba thought he couldn't figure it out, so he was so happy, thinking to himself, I'll call him a plagiarist!Immediately greeted Mr. Chen beside him and said: "Hehe, don't try to show off if you don't know anything! Mr. Chen, tell him the answer to this mystery!"

"This……"

Mr. Chen went over to glance at the mystery face, and then sweated.

He has some small talents, otherwise he wouldn't be taken into Zuichun Tower by Wang Ba, but these talents are all talents in poetry, guessing lantern riddles-the concubine really can't do it!

The movement here has already attracted the attention of some people, and they have already gathered here, looking at Zhang Twelve and Mr. Chen with great interest.

People who look at themselves don't say a word, Wang Ba is so angry, he lost the chain at a critical moment, why are you so stupid?So he reminded impatiently: "Mr. Chen, you should hurry up!"

Seeing Mr. Chen sweating on his face and his whole body tensed up, everyone around looked at the riddle, thinking why lantern riddles are so difficult, but when they saw it, they all cursed away in their hearts.

What kind of riddle is this? There is no hint, nor is it an anagram or a guess. How can people guess?
Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for people!
But they won't say that, anyway, it's not their answer, it's none of your business, just hang up, just look at these two people with a smile, that expression is like we all know but you two don't!
Looking at Mr. Chen's appearance, Zhang Twelve probably made him want to blow his head and couldn't figure it out. Then he waved to the boy who was watching the lantern riddles at the side. After he came over, he smiled and said, "Love each other before and after." , less contact in between. The answer to this lantern riddle is the word "Shou", right?"

Are you kidding me, my brother answered lantern riddles for the purpose of entering the poetry meeting, not pretending to be [forceful], besides, using such a childish lantern riddle to pretend to be [forceful], it is really out of character!

As soon as he finished speaking, before the boy could respond, Wang Ba on the side shouted, "What's the matter? You've got a good impression, okay?"

"My lord, the answer to this lantern riddle is the word "Shou"."

The young man was stunned for a while, then was interrupted by Wang Ba, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he immediately bowed and said.

"What? That's the right answer? Did you make a mistake?"

Wang Ba spread his hands in dissatisfaction.

"I know!" Mr. Chen, who had a miserable face just now, suddenly realized: "Love each other before and after, and there is little contact in the middle, isn't it because the word "love" has gone to the heart in the middle, isn't it just a word for "shou"!"

When the people around heard it, they all understood, and they paid more attention to Zhang Twelve.

On the contrary, Wang Ba snorted coldly. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Zhang Twelve or Mr. Chen.

In fact, the riddle of this lantern riddle is very common, why can't these people figure it out?

Apart from the absence of any hints, the range of guesses is too wide, and everyone does not know whether the answer to the riddle is a word or a thing, and it is mainly related to the current style of writing.

Today's literati all prefer poetry, how many of them will study Chinese characters specially?

Zhang Twelve, who was confirmed by the servant, deliberately took a look at Wang Ba, which meant to see if the young master could go in, and who was showing off!

"Then am I eligible to enter the backyard to participate in the poetry meeting?"

"Yes, of course there is, you are a great talent, so you can naturally enter the poetry club."

That little servant has been in Zuichun Tower on weekdays, and now he has recognized that this is Mr. Zhang who wrote poems for Miss Zimo a few days ago. Today, Miss Zimo specially asked him to let him see Mr. Zhang When the time came, I immediately went to tell her, so I became extra courteous.
