Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 104 104. A Pair

  Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​hurriedly saluted Xu Guannan. This is a famous figure in the academy, and he would never see them if he wanted to. Now he took the initiative to say hello to them, and he was really flattered.

That day when Chu Qingzhi was answering the perverted question at the gate, it happened that Xu Guannan also saw it, so he kept Chu Qingzhi in his heart and admired him very much. Say hello.

   Xu Guannan was followed by several students. It seemed that they should be good friends, and everyone greeted them one by one.

  Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly, "You came here for those questions, right?"

   "Exactly." Xu Guannan said politely, "Miss Chu's problem solving and verses opened my eyes. This time, I would like to ask the girl to enlighten me."

  Chu Qingzhi spoke modestly, "Don't dare."

  As a man of influence, there are many people in the county who know Xu Guannan, especially the students who regard him as an idol. When they saw him coming, they all gave way to him and worshiped him.

  Xu Guannan raised his hand and said modestly, "Miss Qingzhi, please."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded slightly, "Please."

  Chu Qingzhi and Xu Guannan were surrounded by everyone and walked to the gate of Hongyan Restaurant.

  Three oval red lanterns were hung there, each of which had an examination question written on it. The red lanterns were lit, and the bright light clearly reflected the words on the lanterns.

   What is written on the first lantern is an upper couplet.

  The requirement for the couplet is that it should be on the theme of the Dragon Boat Festival, otherwise it will not count as a couplet.

  Xu Guannan slightly raised his head and looked at the first lantern, "The first couplet is 'Hemerocallis soothes eyebrows and green in front of the hall', Miss Qingzhi, please enlighten me."

  In this era, there are few people who are serious about learning, and most of them are seeking officialdom. Poems and songs have been abandoned, let alone couplets.

  Everyone looked at Chu Qingzhi, what a beautiful and charming girl, but reading has been a man's business since ancient times, and they couldn't get it right, let a woman do it, can they get it right?

  Chu Qingzhi hooked her lips into a smile, and opened her lips, "The pomegranate flowers on the stone are dazzling red."

  Tang Jinghong stared at Chu Qingzhi. At this time, the sun was already close to the horizon, and the sunlight became fiery red, reflecting on Chu Qingzhi's face, giving her a warm beauty like a pomegranate flower.

  Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration. The fifth sister is so powerful, even more powerful than the master in the academy. They are sure that the master will not be able to forgive her.

  Xu Guannan thought for a moment, showing admiration, "On the stone in front of the hall, daylilies and durian flowers are contrasted, green eyebrows, dazzling red, the confrontation is neat, good right good right."

   A burst of applause erupted from the crowd, and seeing Chu Qingzhi's eyes full of admiration, a girl could match her match so quickly.

  Chu Qingzhi withdrew her gaze and looked at Xu Guannan who was dressed in white, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Xu."

  Xu Guannan smiled slightly and said, "The girl in the couplet just now has already matched a good sentence, if I get it right again, it will be a dog's end. Why don't you make a couplet?"

  Chu Qingzhi looked at Xu Guannan, this person is very confident in her knowledge, in this case, she is not polite, "Then I will make a couplet..."

  Her eyes fell on the handful of wormwood on the door, and after a while, "Green moxa hanging from the door, lacquer algae color."

  Xu Guannan remained calm. He glanced at Qingzhi, and his eyes also fell on the handful of wormwood.

  When the onlookers saw him thinking, they couldn't help but quiet down. The money shopkeeper in the room heard that there was no movement, and almost thought that everyone had left, so he hurried out to see in fright.

  Outside the crowd, someone discussed, "Can you match it?"

   "If I had that ability, I would have gone to worship the dean as a teacher right now."

   "Then do you think Xu Guannan can match it?"

   "Xu Guannan's knowledge is well-known throughout Shuiyun County, so he should be able to tell."

   While everyone was watching, Xu Guannan spoke. He looked at the calamus next to the wormwood, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "The green calamus is more fragrant when injected with wine."

  Chu Qingzhi laughed, "That's right, Mr. Xu is indeed a student of Yunfei Academy."

  Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​happily applauded, "Brother Xu is amazing."

   "Miss Qingzhi has won the prize." Xu Guannan looked elegant, and he raised his finger to point at the riddle, "Miss Qingzhi, guess the riddle?"

  Chu Qingzhi looked at the riddle on the lantern, "Before and after the ridge, from left to right, mang up and down, fragrant night and day. Guess a word."

   I can barely think about the first pair, but this anagram is really too embarrassing, with no direction at all and no boundaries.

  At this time, Shopkeeper Qian came out. When he saw Chu Qingzhi, he immediately raised a warm smile, "Miss Qingzhi is here?"

  Chu Qingzhi nodded to Shopkeeper Qian, "We are guessing crossword puzzles."

  Treasurer Qian tentatively asked, "Miss Qingzhi, do you have a clue?"

  Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Yes."

  Everyone immediately turned their attention to Chu Qingzhi, is she so powerful? Just glanced at it, did you notice it?

  Even Xu Guannan couldn't help being surprised. Chu Qingzhi looked at how young he was, how could he have such a profound cultural heritage, and he didn't even have a clue about this anagram.

   Shopkeeper Qian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then please give me your advice, Miss Qingzhi."

  Chu Qingzhi didn't answer what Shopkeeper Qian said immediately, she turned to look at Xu Guannan, "Mr. Xu, do you have any ideas?"

  Xu Guannan looked well-cultivated, and said with a slight smile, "I'm really not as quick-witted as Miss Qingzhi, and I don't have any ideas yet."

  Chu Qing Zhi Qingling smiled, like a camellia in full bloom, "The answer to the riddle is 'flower'."

   Shopkeeper Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Chu Qingzhi in disbelief. The person who gave the answer told him that the answer was very difficult, and very few people could guess it.

  But the girl in front of him guessed it easily, but seeing the look of embarrassment on the other person's face, if it weren't for this, he would have suspected that the other party lied to him.

  Chu Qingzhi explained, "Before and after the ridge, in front of the ridge is the word dragon, and behind the dragon is seven. This is the first sentence."

   "From the left and the right, from the left and the right are people. This sentence explains the character 人, and people can also be used as radicals, "亻"."

   "In the third sentence, Mang's upper and lower sides are all "她"."

   "These three sentences can be combined to solve a "flower" character, and the last sentence "Xiang Ye Zhe" is just right for the question."

  The crowd shouted loudly, and then there was applause, "Okay—"

  Tang Jinghong smiled, Qingzhi really looked like a night pearl shining in the dark, always so attractive.

  The Chu family looked at Chu Qingzhi in surprise and admiration. They knew that Chu Qingzhi was very powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, beyond their imagination.

   Shopkeeper Qian looked at Chu Qingzhi in surprise, what did this girl grow up on, and how could she know everything?

  Xu Guannan cupped his hands at Chu Qingzhi, "I admire you." He sincerely admired that Chu Qingzhi was smarter than he imagined.

  Chu Qingzhi smiled lightly, "Let's look at the last question."
