I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 682 Presumptuous to the extreme
His method...

What a novelty!

But it also tests the true ability of the individual!
Mao Zhifu and the others were all brightened when they heard this.

"Okay! This is a good idea!" Mao Zhifu immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

The people below were also discussing who was better!Some people say that Gu Yuanlong's success at a young age is the number one; but others say that the second son of the magistrate is calm and restrained. At the beginning, he hid his clumsiness to take care of others' face. He is the real No.1!Everyone insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly, and neither side was willing to compromise.

In this way, no matter who wins the lottery in the end, they will not be able to fully convince the crowd.

But as soon as Gu Yuanlong made this request, everyone was completely satisfied!

That's right, it's nothing to be able to answer questions, but to be able to pass the other party's test by asking questions, this is a real skill!
The magistrate's wife here also nodded when she heard Gu Yuanlong's words. "This kid is smart."

The Second Young Madam smiled. "That's right, she's so scheming at such a young age, she really deserves to be the one who can seize the opportunity to write a melody for the emperor. The future of this little doll is sure to be limitless!"

No matter how she listened to her words, she was ironic.Judging by what she meant, she was clearly mocking Gu Yuanlong for being a villain in the future!

The corners of Xia Ying's lips tugged lightly. "My son is so precocious, otherwise, how could he have won the favor of Tang Shan, the head of White Deer Academy, and even the young master who has abandoned so many poems and etiquettes, but accepted him as a closed disciple?"

If you have the ability, you say that Tang Shanchang is a villain who wants to flatter horses, try it?

The second young lady dared not speak.

The four major academies in the world have always been in contact with each other, and the deans of the four academies have a good relationship.If she dared to scold Tang Shanzhang, the other three Shanzhangs would know about it later, and her son would not be expected to enter any of these four academies!She will not be so stupid as to ruin the future of her children and grandchildren.

Seeing her reaction, Xia Ying snorted softly.

See, people are bullying.Did Tang Shan do less ridiculous things when he was young?But now that he is famous and powerful, others ignore his previous affairs and just keep praising his achievements in the literary world.However, if you really want to study it carefully, who in the world has no little flaws in character?

People, you still have to be strong enough, so that others can only flatter you desperately, and help you cover up the stupid things you have done, that is the real success.

So they still have a long way to go!
"Brother Long, I've changed my mind—you must win this time and get the first place!" Xia Ying clenched her fists, and she said gently and word by word.

The second young lady heard it, and she twitched the corner of her mouth with a look of disdain.

The prefect's wife saw the open and secret struggle between the two of them, she just shook her head and sighed softly, then turned her head and continued to look at the high platform.

Over there, after Gu Yuanlong's proposal was uttered, it was no surprise that everyone agreed.The second son of the magistrate also nodded happily: "I think you, Mr. Gu, have a very good idea! If that's the case, then let's do it this way!"

"Okay, let's do it like this!" The master of ceremonies also nodded excitedly.

I really didn't expect that today's riddle guessing meeting would be played with so many tricks.As a personal participant, he feels honored!

"So, who should start first? How about drawing lots!" He immediately suggested.

Although Gu Yuanlong is young, he is not one who is willing to be humbled.Just now the prefect's second son offered to give him the first place, but he refused without hesitation, so of course the master of ceremonies did not consider this aspect, and directly chose the most fair and just way.

Gu Yuanlong and the prefect's second son both nodded in agreement.

So, the ball of paper with their two names written on it was put into a narrow mouth bottle, and then the bottle was presented to the magistrate Mao.Mao Zhifu took a pair of slender chopsticks and twisted one out, opened it to see——

"Second Master Mao, come first!"

"Little Mr. Gu, I will have the audacity to come up with the question first." The second son of the magistrate Shi Shiran immediately bowed to Gu Yuanlong, and he said, "You can hear my puzzle clearly-remove the words on the top, remove the words on the bottom Characters. Remove the middle to get a character, and remove the top and bottom to get a character. Type a character.”

When he said the riddle, someone immediately shouted: "I know, it's a three-character! One, two, three, three!"

"No, no, it's Shen, Shen Shi's Shen! After removing the bottom three, it's not two. The horizontal line in the middle is too short!"

Then a few people also gave different answers, and then everyone refused to give in, and they were arguing red-faced.

When Xia Ying and the others heard this riddle, they also thought about it, and suddenly felt that what these people said seemed to make sense?
"Then which one is the answer?" The magistrate's wife couldn't help but frowned, "The second boy's question is too tricky!"

The second young lady covered her lips and smiled. "Mum, it's not that you don't know that Xianggong has always liked to play lantern riddles, and none of his friends can beat him. Now is the critical moment to compete for the lottery. Of course he has to take out the bottom of the box! Now, it's up to Xiao Gu How did Xianggong answer!"

Seeing that her husband's topic caused such a big commotion as soon as it was thrown out, she was so proud that her whole face was shining.

She looked eagerly at Gu Yuanlong on the high platform, just waiting for him to spit out the answer!

Xia Ying also held her breath.She also wanted to know what kind of answer Gu Yuanlong would give?
Although she believed in Gu Yuanlong in her heart, she was still somewhat sweating for this child when she saw that her face was already flushed with arguing in all aspects.

There are many people who hold expectations like her.

The second son of the magistrate also urged Gu Yuanlong: "Little Mr. Gu, many people below are answering the questions for you. Who do you think is right?"

"They are all right." Gu Yuanlong said.

Xia Ying was taken aback for a moment, and Mao Zhifu also lowered his face.

"However, they haven't finished talking yet." Gu Yuanlong added.

I heard him say: "There is more than one answer to this lantern riddle. Apart from the few words spoken by everyone in the audience, I know a lot more. Now I need pen and paper."

"There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones, right here!" The master of ceremonies responded quickly.He called for someone to bring over what Gu Yuanlong wanted.

Gu Yuanlong was also polite, he picked up the brush and dipped it in thick ink, and began to answer with a brush.

Every time he wrote a word, the master of ceremonies would read a word aloud——

"Shen! Zhang! Really! Beast..."

After writing ten in a row, Gu Yuanlong put down his pen. He looked at the second son of the magistrate with a smile on his face: "Here are ten answers. If Mr. Mao thinks it is not enough, I can write ten more. Otherwise, there are still ten. You Write as much as you want, why don't you report the number first?"

What he said...

It's really presumptuous to the extreme!
