The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 108 Guessing the Riddle
The city of lights is lively.

Chai Feng was a little angry and embarrassed.

Lu Mengzheng was a little dazed, he never thought that the person he kept calling Brother Chai turned out to be a woman.He really wanted to say something to Chai Feng, as a woman, how could she do such nonsense?

But when he saw Chai Feng's bright eyes with three parts of anger and three parts, he suddenly couldn't say those words. He suddenly felt that a woman like Chai Feng should be cherished by others of.

The atmosphere was a bit dignified. When Li Hang realized this, he suddenly regretted it. He really didn't have any malicious intentions. He just felt that since Chai Feng was a woman, he just confessed it openly. Why should he hide like this? ?He is not as rigid as Lu Mengzheng, he does not object to women disguised as men, he just thinks Chai Feng's identity should be known.

But when he saw Chai Feng's warm and angry eyes, he really wanted to slap his ears. How could a woman like Chai Feng suffer such grievances?He, Li Hang, is really not a human being, but at this moment, he realized that he actually liked this woman disguised as a man so much in his heart.

Princess Ruyi is a smart person, and only she can break this situation. Therefore, when Li Hang was deeply remorseful and Lu Meng was in a daze, Princess Ruyi suddenly took Chai Feng's arm: "Sister Feng'er, where are you?" There are lantern riddles guessers, how about we go play, I heard there are prizes to be won.”

The identities of Chai Feng and Princess Ruyi certainly wouldn’t covet those prizes, but Princess Ruyi’s proposal was to break the embarrassment, and guessing lantern riddles was really fun. Chai Feng laughed in a blink of an eye. , the long eyelashes blinked, making people want to know how amazing it was under those bright eyes.

"Okay, let's go play guessing lantern riddles, I will definitely win a lot of prizes."

The two women walked to the place next to the lantern riddle guessing place, and now the place was full of people who guessed the lantern riddles. The people who guessed it were full of joy, and either got a lantern or something hand-carved. Those who couldn't come out were a little frustrated, and they were still thinking hard.

On Liu Wei's side, he smiled lightly: "How about we go and have fun too?"

Li Hang glanced at Lu Mengzheng, Lu Mengzheng glanced at Li Hang, and then the two nodded in unison, they just offended Chai Feng, and now they want to find a chance to make up for it, and Liu Wei just saw them Only then did he say what he just said.

Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang are both talented people, and the lantern riddles can't help them. If they can perform well, Chai Feng may be happy, and in Liu Wei's opinion, Chai Feng may not really be able to give birth to these two. Scholars and wits.

The three came to the front, and an old man was holding a lantern and reading the riddles on it: the riddles didn't contain a single word.

After the old man finished reading, he looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "This riddle is a reminder for everyone. Guess the name of the medicine. Whoever can guess it will get this lantern."

The old man said with a faint smile, and the people in front kept chanting this lantern riddle repeatedly, and at this moment, Chai Feng suddenly laughed and said: "I know, I know, it's Baizhi, Baizhi white paper, There is no word on the riddle, isn't it just blank paper!"

The old man laughed and said, "Miss, you answered correctly, this lantern is yours now."

A lantern is not worth much, but Chai Feng is very happy, because it is like winning a lottery, this kind of thing can make people inexplicably excited.

While Chai Feng was laughing with the lantern, the old man brought out another lantern and said with a smile, "This time the gift is a wooden carved sparrow, and the lantern riddle is that Qi, Chu, Yan, and Zhao all surrendered."

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't say any more, presumably he was going to make it difficult for those who guessed these riddles.

Chai Feng won a game just now, and she wanted to win again, but she repeated the riddle of Qi, Chu, Yan, and Zhao over and over again, but she didn't think of the answer. Just as she was about to ask the old man to give a hint, a voice suddenly came from behind her. A voice: "Shikoku Shunzhi."

Chai Feng turned her head and saw that it was Lu Mengzheng, she couldn't help being taken aback, but thinking about the answer to the riddle that Lu Mengzheng said, it was just so. She, Chai Feng, was also knowledgeable, so she naturally understood the origin of Siguo Shunzhi. "Qi Xi asked for a sentence from Uncle Xiang. The original sentence is that if you feel virtuous, the four countries obey it;

The lantern riddles were guessed from ancient books, if one is not really talented, it would be impossible to guess it, Chai Feng saw that Lu Meng was able to guess it, she was extremely happy in her heart, and shouted again and again that it was wonderful.

Seeing Chai Feng like this, Lu Meng couldn't help but feel hot, thinking that such a woman should be pitied, how can she be wronged?
After hearing Lu Mengzheng's answer, the old man smiled slightly: "It's Shiguo Shunzhi, and this wooden sparrow is for you." Then, he went to fetch another lantern, and read out the next lantern riddle: Mo Zhongmei's trick.

After the old man read this sentence, everyone thought deeply, Li Hang frowned deeply, he was the one who made Chai Feng unhappy just now, now he must show something, and seeing how she treated Lu Mengzheng just now Joy, even more unpleasant in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit of comparison.

"Abstain from sex!"

Standing in the crowd, Li Hang spoke out the answer anxiously.

"If you don't want to be tricked by a beauty, you should guard against sex. The words of caution come from "The Analects of Confucius Ji Shi": When you are young, your blood is uncertain, and you should guard against sex." After Li Han said this, he secretly looked at Chai Feng. At a glance, Chai Feng seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now, and seemed to be thinking about the riddle and whether the answers of the riddles corresponded. Later, she seemed to have figured it out, and nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, it is sex."

Seeing Chai Feng's smile, Li Hang finally felt at ease.

Afterwards, the old man kept asking questions, and Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang gave out puzzles one after another, and everyone stared straight at them.

"walk out!"

"If you are not in your position, the words come from "The Analects of Confucius Tabor": Confucius said: If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern yourself."

"Return to Luoyang!"

"Return to the old capital, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty with the words "The List of Teachers", and return to the old capital."

"……………………"

"……………………"

"The former Liu Lang is here again!"

When the old man uttered this riddle, Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Those puzzles just now were all sentences from ancient books, but now this is a sentence from Tang Liu Yuxi's poem, which is a bit difficult for them .

The two stood in the crowd thinking hard, their brows wrinkled involuntarily.

Liu Wei stood aside, but she didn't intend to answer, Princess Ruyi tugged at Liu Wei's sleeve, just now Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang answered several riddles one after another, but his son-in-law didn't answer any of them. She still feels very shameless, her son-in-law is a talented man in the capital, how can she be baffled by a puzzle?
But Liu Wei just stood in the crowd and smiled, as if he had no intention of answering.

The old man seemed to see that few people could answer it, so he said with a smile: "Who can guess this riddle, I will give you a handmade flute." As he spoke, the old man brought a flute from behind, and the flute was verdant and verdant. , the workmanship is very exquisite, it is the kind of thing that people will fall in love with after seeing it.

Princess Ruyi is quite familiar with the rhythm, and seeing that the flute is still green in color even though it has been formed, but it is indeed made of bamboo, so she knows that it is a rare ten thousand year green bamboo, and she likes ten thousand year green bamboo the most, and has always wanted to make a flute Gen to make a flute, but never had the opportunity, seeing an old man take out a flute made of ten thousand-year-old green bamboo as a bargaining chip tonight, I couldn't help but be tempted.

"The flute made of ten-thousand-year-old green bamboo has a very good sound, and the son-in-law will help me win it back."

Princess Ruyi pulled Liu Wei's sleeves, her voice was very low, but her coquettish appearance made people love and pity her, which made Liu Wei, who didn't want to steal the limelight, shrug helplessly.

"Three visits to the thatched cottage!"

When Liu Wei said this, everyone suddenly came to their senses. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang. Isn’t it the same as the former Liu Lang who is here again today?

The old man didn't seem to expect someone to answer, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but soon became happy again: "This young man is really talented, yes, he is indeed visiting thatched cottage three times, and now this flute is yours."

After the old man handed the flute to Liu Wei, he tidied up the stall and left. Liu Wei took the flute in his hand and looked at the back of the old man leaving, a little curious. What is the picture?Is it because you have nothing to do and find it fun to pass the loneliness?

If not, it really doesn't make sense, people don't benefit, so there is such a thing?
The figure of the old man quickly disappeared into the crowd. Liu Wei handed the flute to Princess Ruyi, and said to Lu Mengzheng and the others, "How about we go over there again?"

"Okay, I heard that there is a dragon lantern dance over there. It's so beautiful, we don't want to miss it."

The few people were about to leave while talking, when a thin man suddenly came to them and said in a low voice: "Looking at the lantern riddles you guessed just now, you know that some of you are very talented, and you must be taking part in the imperial examination this year." It’s just that the imperial examination has always been subject to many variables. It would be a pity if some of them landed because of the variables. To be honest, I have the questions for this year’s imperial examination. I’ll give you all the [-] coins A hundred guan is enough to be named on the gold list, should you think about it?"

The man said with a slight smile. He was very confident in his words. The scholar who came to take the imperial examination didn't want to be named on the gold list, otherwise he would have to wait another three years. Who can afford it?

Therefore, as long as it is related to exams, these scholars will jump in stupidly.

And he was very sure that these people were candidates, because that was what the old man who had just left told him. The old man used the excuse of guessing lantern riddles to attract scholars to come to guess lantern riddles, and then he would sell the questions of the imperial examination.

That's why the old man's questions are all related to the bibliography related to the exam. Only scholars will read the bibliography needed for the imperial examination.

When the man was laughing, he seemed to have seen a hundred guan coins.
