I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 683 A Word of Sadness

However, he was so presumptuous, so he stood firmly on the high platform.He is tall and tall, his clothes are flying, and his arrogant virtue falls on his pretty little face, which is not against harmony at all, and he doesn't want to be beaten at all, on the contrary, he is still very eye-catching!
The worry in Xia Ying's heart was put down, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

"As expected of my son! Brother Long, you've given the family face again today!"

She was happy, and the corresponding second young lady was unhappy. Even the prefect's wife frowned slightly, but she still didn't speak.

But the face of the prefect's second son became very exciting.

After a long time, he pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty. "Little Mr. Gu is really talented. No need, these ten questions are enough. You answered this question correctly. Now it's up to you to come up with a question for me."

"Okay, Mr. Mao dug a hole on purpose for my junior brother to drill!" The students of Bailu Academy down there immediately saw the clue.

They booed immediately.

You must know that if Gu Yuanlong hadn't uttered such big words, if he only answered three or two answers, and then the second son of the prefect threw out more answers, Gu Yuanlong would have lost!

He didn't say anything at first, and just let Gu Yuanlong answer in silence. This is exactly like digging a big hole in front of Gu Yuanlong without telling him, just waiting for him to fall into it by himself!
But thanks to Gu Yuanlong's quick response.With such an operation, he showed his dexterity even more.

The prefect's second son was booed, but his face remained unchanged.

"I only said to type one word, but I didn't say how many answers there are. And since Mr. Gu is a master at guessing riddles, wouldn't he miss such a small question? Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Yuanlong smiled slightly. "What Mr. Mao said is true. In this final round of competition, it should be tricky, otherwise it will not be interesting enough, and the game will be boring."

He looked like he was enjoying it.

Seeing this, the second son of the prefect, his eyes flickered slightly. "Now, please come up with a question!"

Gu Yuanlong nodded, and he opened his mouth and said: "There is a big hole in the middle of the new clothes, type one word. Mr. Mao, please answer."

"The simple answer is—"

Mr. Mao immediately thought of the answer, and he was about to answer, but the words were already on his lips, but his face suddenly changed, and then he yelled at Gu Yuanlong——

"What do you mean?"

Gu Yuanlong blinked, his face looked harmless to humans and animals.

"Mr. Mao, what's the matter with you? I just gave you a question. Are you thinking too much?"

He asked if you thought too much, then it proves that there is a mystery in this question!

The onlookers were also moved in their hearts. Someone had already guessed the answer, but seeing the reaction of these two people, they all began to think about the mystery.

The magistrate above had a gloomy expression at this moment.

He stood up suddenly. "Mao Jingxuan, since Mr. Gu asked you a question, you can just answer it. Now everyone is waiting for your answer."

Hearing his father's voice, the prefect's second son immediately shrank his shoulders, his mouth was muffled, and he couldn't speak.

Immediately, they began to whisper, and everyone's eyes kept scanning back and forth between Gu Yuanlong and the prefect's second son.

Xia Ying was also very puzzled.

She is not good at playing lantern riddles, so she can't think of the answer.

"Is there any problem with this lantern riddle?" She turned to ask Miss Zhifu.

Miss Zhifu shook her head.

Sister Fu's soft voice sounded: "The answer to this lantern riddle is——sorrow, sorrowful sorrow."

Sad sad?

It's a big festival, why did Gu Yuanlong come up with an anagram of mourning?Didn't he deliberately offend the public?

wrong!

Among her children, Gu Yuanlong is the smartest one, he wouldn't do such a thing!Therefore, since he asked this question, there must be a deep meaning in it!

Xia Ying thought about it for a while, and she almost understood——

Gu Yuanlong's mourning word was given to the prefect's second son!

He is feeling sad for the prefect's second son!

The prefect's second son also sensed his intentions, and that's why he got so angry!
Even magistrate Mao has already noticed the tricks in it!

Hey!
Xia Ying was unable to support her forehead.

These ancient people who have read books for many years, why can't they speak well?If there is something to be said for each one of them, they have to make nine twists and eighteen turns.When a person like her stood in front of them, it was just that she could recognize a few words with her eyes wide open, and she couldn't understand the deep meaning of the words at all!
Compared with these people, she felt like a big fool.

Hearing Sister Fu's interpretation, the people in the shed also fell into deep thought.Judging from their reactions, it was obvious that they also wanted to go with Xia Ying.

Looking at the high platform again, Zhifu Mao asked again and again, but the second son of the prefect became more and more hesitant and unable to utter an answer, so Zhifu Mao said: "Okay, the results of today's lantern riddle meeting have come out——Guji Furniture Co., Ltd." Young Master Gu won the first place!"

"Great!"

The students of White Deer Academy below immediately cheered and jumped up.

The common people were still a little confused in their minds. On the one hand, they wondered why the second son of the prefect lost?On the one hand, seeing Gu Yuanlong's wonderful performances from the beginning to the present, he also thought that the leader deserved his name, so everyone started to applaud along with him.

Seeing that everyone gave Gu Yuanlong their applause, the face of the prefect's second son gradually turned gray.

Gu Yuanlong hurriedly cupped his hands to thank the surroundings, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.Especially in the comparison with the second son of the prefect, this 15-year-old boy looks so high-spirited and outstanding.

When the public's enthusiasm passes, Mao Zhifu will hand over the lottery to Gu Yuanlong in public.Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanlong immediately bowed deeply to Zhifu Mao again: "Lord Zhifu, Wansheng has a heartless request, please allow it."

He is the leader, so of course he has the final say tonight.

Mao Zhifu nodded. "you say."

"To be honest, Wansheng just arrived in Jiangbian Province today, and he hasn't even gone home to visit his parents. Now Wansheng is parading and playing with his classmates, which is already unfilial. It just so happens that Wansheng's parents are on Lantern Street. Hand, invite Wansheng's parents over, and Wansheng kowtows to them in public to admit his mistake." After Gu Yuanlong finished speaking, he bent down again to salute.

"This little bastard!"

After hearing Gu Yuanlong's words, Xia Ying almost gritted her teeth!

It's not that he didn't see them with feelings!He had seen it a long time ago, but deliberately ignored them, and then took this opportunity to use Mao Zhifu to cover himself up, and played a filial son to make amends in public.

In front of almost all the people in the provincial capital, can they not forgive him?
This little thing has made the abacus crackle, even his parents have figured it out!
