Chapter 237 In the Teahouse

(Oh my god, my god, I finished uploading last night, and I actually forgot to click on the scheduled release. I’m so sorry, friends, I’ve been so busy recently, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I will never do it again, my God, this mistake is too scary up!)
They were also complaining about the heavy workload of the college and the strictness of the teacher, and then they whispered about how charming the girl in that flower building was, and let out a few ambiguous laughter.At this time, I saw a young boy with a handsome face standing on the stage, wearing a stone-blue shorts, clean and neat, smiling and bowing, and asked them to explain their confusion, and my vanity was soaring. All of them raised their chests, shook their heads, and put on the airs of literati. Among them, a table of scholars near the table, because they finally pulled a talented student out of the school to play.Therefore, if you have a problem, someone will help you to answer it, so you shouted, "Boy, if you have something to say, we will answer it for you. If even our Honghu Academy can't answer it, there are few people in this world who can answer it." .”

What he said was actually a bit too exaggerated, but most of the people around were scholars from the academy, and no one could jump out of the name of belittling their own academy, and the rest of them may not really think that these scholars have such knowledge, but Out of respect for the scholars, they all listened with smiles.

The learned scholar who was forced to come here frowned, looked at the smiling Qingfeng in the stands, politely cupped his hands, and said, "I think this little brother's question is not too simple, Although we have studied hard for many years, we can spend our whole life learning the word learning, and if we can't answer it, I hope my little brother will not be disappointed."

He said this politely, but it also hinted like Qingfeng and everyone in the teahouse that there is no limit to learning, and if they can't answer this question, they can't blame them too much for their lack of study.

Qingfeng hurriedly bowed his hands again, and said with a smile, "Oh, gentlemen, you are so polite. The younger one is not asking about some studies, but just an interesting little story, a small question. While everyone understands it, I will explain it to the younger one. Just be confused."

One of the scholar's deskmates was a fat scholar, obviously his family background was the best among his deskmates, so he was unavoidably arrogant. He felt that the scholar's polite words just now had disgraced them, and he felt a little displeased. , Wei Dai waved his hand impatiently, "That kid, speak quickly, don't delay our discussion of homework."

Qingfeng also felt that the groundwork was almost done, so he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, boy, let me tell you this little story, to relieve the boredom of gentlemen and viewers. It is said that there is a five-year-old child named Yixiu, because His mother passed away just after he was born, so he grew up in a monastery. He likes to read and practice calligraphy on weekdays. Halfway through, the general thought of an idea to test him, so he pointed to a picture of a tiger descending the mountain on the wall next to him and said, "Yixiu, can you catch the tiger in that picture?" Let me make things difficult for Yixiu, who can catch the tiger in the painting. However, Yixiu only took one look at the painting, and said without hesitation, "Yes". So he got up and asked someone to prepare the tools. The problem is, Yixiu How did you resolve this difficulty?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone in the teahouse fell into deep thought. This is really a strange story in the world. How can the tiger in the painting be caught? Even the gods don't have the means.

Qingfeng's eyes flashed a little ridicule after the child's successful prank.With the precedent of those scholars who came to force their wives to be concubines earlier, everyone in the mansion really didn't have a good impression of these scholars who seemed to be full of talent and learning, but were actually idiots.Don't look at them shaking their heads, as if they are the ones who write all the articles in the world, but in fact, they are not necessarily as good as their own young masters when they are serious about picking up pens and writing to settle accounts.Back then, everyone in his house helped the young masters and ladies guess this little story for three full days, and even the most knowledgeable Steward Guo couldn't guess it, so he didn't believe that these idiots could guess it on the spot.

With such contempt in his heart, there was an extremely warm smile on his face, and his eyes slowly filled with curiosity, and he asked, "Gentlemen, you are all learned people, this little story, how can you tell the little story?" It's embarrassing, but it's a small question for you gentlemen, I don't know which gentleman can tell me what the answer is?"

The scholar below was looked at by him like this, and when he said it, his already tangled mind became even more confused.The fat scholar who responded at first lowered his head in embarrassment, pulled his classmates together and murmured, "How about it, did you guess it?" Several scholars shook their heads, and one of them said slightly annoyed, "What kind of story is this kid telling? I've never heard of it before?" Another echoed, "I haven't heard of it either, but it's very interesting."

The fat scholar glared and reprimanded, "Is this the time to talk about fun? If we can't figure it out, wouldn't it make him look down on us scholars?" A classmate with real talents said, "Wei Caizi, don't hide it today, just say it when you guess it, and save face for us all?"

The scholar called Wei Caizi thought and thought, looked around at the people who were discussing and guessing with each other, stood up, and said very politely, "My little brother, this story is really interesting, and it is very similar to our usual story. I heard those big differences, I don’t know where I heard it from?”

Qingfeng had expected that they would ask such a question, so he replied with a smile, "To be honest with this gentleman, this story comes from our master's hometown, which is a very far away place. Our master also told it to us on a whim." Listen, let's guess and play. It's okay if we can't guess, but if we guess it, we can get a unique lottery in the world. We Manchu people are holding back each other, and we can't figure it out even if we think about it, little I just happened to pass by here today, and seeing all the gentlemen drinking tea here, I couldn't help but come in and tell the gentlemen and the spectators. The lottery goes to the gentlemen."

The fat scholar's eyes lit up when he heard about the unique lottery in the world, and he asked aloud, "Hey, boy, what kind of lottery did your master give you? How dare you boast that you are unique in the world?"

Qingfeng smiled mysteriously, "Our master said that this summer is hot, and her lottery is the most delicious ice bowl in the world, and I guarantee that this ice bowl has never been tasted by our lord. Gentlemen think, this Whoever eats the ice bowl will be No.1 in our Hundred Blossoms."

Scholars at first heard that it was an ice bowl's lottery, and they were a little disdainful, but they were first forced by Qingfeng's erudition one by one, then they were the most delicious in the world, and finally they were knocked down by the No.1 title of Baihua.Let alone whether this ice bowl is delicious or not, just hearing the name is enough to make people proud.

Wei Caizi is obviously sober, and he wanted to make excuses to get past it, but Qingfeng is not stupid, seeing that everyone turned their attention to Caitouer, he quickly pretended to be discouraged and regretful, and sighed With a sigh of relief, he spoke fiercely, "It seems that I was wrong today. I thought that Honghu Academy, the pride of our Huawang City, has been established for a hundred years and is a place where talents are born. The government and everyone will go through the details together, and maybe you will come up with it." These words are not poisonous, although they did not explicitly say that the Honghu Academy is so unworthy of the name, on the contrary, they even praised the Honghu Academy, but this praise is not tasteful , especially the last sentence, what's the matter, a group of servants are actually better than many talents in the academy, which is simply too insulting.

All the scholars in the teahouse blushed, angry and embarrassed, and Wei Cai couldn't help but say, "This little brother's words are wrong, we can't answer the question, it's because we are usually lazy and not knowledgeable enough, but with Our academy has nothing to do with it."

Qingfeng knew that the fire was getting serious, so he quickly smiled and bowed, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry, it's the little one who can't talk, and I don't have the slightest disrespect for our college in my heart. But, I thought, if what The gentleman can answer the question, and get the most delicious ice bowl in the world for the teacher to taste, what a great thing it should be."

Wei Caizi remembered that his teacher who taught him was old and couldn't bear the heat these days, and his spirit had been a little tired. If this ice bowl is really delicious, and he got it with his knowledge, he will be very happy. I couldn't help but hesitate in my heart.All the scholars below were like boiling water. In just a few words, this incident rose to the level of defending the reputation of the academy, which made them pay more attention to it.

Qingfeng finally said, "I'm going back today. If I tell my master that his story has been answered by many gentlemen, the master will be happy. Three days later, the young one will definitely come here with a lot of money to wait for the answers from all the gentlemen. I don't know." In this scorching summer, which gentleman's mentor or which old mother of a visitor's family can eat the most delicious ice bowl in the world."

After speaking, he bowed to the surroundings again, and then got off the stage with a smile.

Shopkeeper Wu’s eyes shone brightly, he took a deep look at Qingfeng who was walking towards this side, and then said to Dayu, “Brother Ouyang, you are a formidable servant. I am more and more curious, old man. Which family is it, even a servant has such abilities."

Dayu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Wu, you are being polite. Please forgive me for being a snob. When I come back in three days, you will know."

Shopkeeper Wu laughed loudly, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, then I'll just wait for my little brother to come and have another cup of tea."

Dayu got up and bid farewell to the old shopkeeper, leaving behind the scholars and spectators who were full of discussions, and went out with a breeze.
