Chapter twelve

When the crowd got there, they saw a long corridor with lantern riddles hanging on the top of the corridor. There were about four or five hundred of them, all numbered. You can go to the book office next door and report the lantern riddle number and the answer. If it’s correct,

If so, a voucher will be given on the spot.

The lantern riddles outside are relatively simple and attract many people.

The lantern riddles inside were difficult, and there were not many people around, so most people gave up. There was a book office standing in the middle, smiling at the few people who insisted on guessing the riddles.

"Open like a wheel, converge like a tree, cut paper and mix glue to protect Hsinchu, and build a shadow pavilion in the middle of the day. In the rain, the sound of banana trees is solemn. On a sunny day, it is cloudy and then sunny. The difference between sunny and cloudy is clear. I have a big handle in my hand, go.

Travelers who travel east, west, north and south."

The young lady read the riddle once, and then said, "This is simple! The riddle is well written, but the answer is very simple. It's an umbrella!"

The clerk replied with a smile: "Yes, this young lady guessed it right!"

The rest of the people gathered around and looked at the riddles, and felt very regretful. Everyone was focusing on a few difficult riddles and ignored this, allowing this pretty little lady to take advantage.

The maid also shouted excitedly next to her: "Madam, please help me recite the riddle, and let us also guess."

"The white snake crosses the river, with a red sun above its head. The black dragon climbs up the wall, covered with thousands of gold stars. It hits two things."

The maid listened to the young lady read the riddle once, and pretended to think hard. After thinking for a while, she gave up.

The strong woman also gave up, and so did the rest of the people around her. Then everyone looked at the little lady, and many people were thinking, this time you won't be so lucky.

"These two objects are the oil lamp and the weighing rod respectively," the young lady said slowly.

"Guess it!" the clerk said excitedly.

The maid clapped her hands and laughed, and looked at the scholars and scholars around her very proudly.

Zhao Si and Ming Zhaoxia were also attracted, standing in the crowd and continuing to watch.

Someone pointed at a lantern riddle and shouted, "Young lady is very smart, guess this lantern riddle. I heard it was created by a government official. It's very difficult. Many people didn't guess it right."

The maid led the way, and a crowd of people gathered around the young lady and came to the lantern riddle.

"Black is not the same, white is not, red and yellow are not the same; they are like foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild beasts. There are also poems, lyrics, and the Analects of Confucius. It is vague about east, west, south, and north. Although it is a short article, it is also a wonderful article.

.”

After reading it once and thinking about it in her mind, the young lady knew it well. She was not in a hurry to tell the answer, but glanced at the people around her.

Some of them looked up at the lantern riddles and thought hard; some stared at themselves, hoping to give an answer that they had been thinking about for a long time.

The young lady's eyes swept across Zhao Si's burly and majestic figure, and stopped at Ming Zhaoxia next to her.

How could he have such a handsome and heroic son?

The young lady's face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Madam, you guessed it, right?"

Seeing that her wife had not spoken for a long time, and the eyes of the people around her became a little disdainful, the maid said anxiously.

The young lady was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses from her random thoughts, "Ah, I guessed it."

The maid couldn't wait to announce, "Hmph, my wife has already guessed it."

The people around were in an uproar.

"Have you guessed it? Then tell me quickly."

"Yes, tell me quickly!"

"You can't tell! Did you not guess it at all? You're just pretending to be mysterious!"

The maid became anxious, pulled the little lady's sleeves, and urged: "Madam, please tell me quickly to dampen the arrogance of these scholars."

The young lady's eyes were still glued to Ming Zhaoxia. She looked quietly and saw Ming Zhaoxia and Zhao Si beside her talking in a low voice. After just saying a few words, she smiled.

That smile was like a red sun leaping out of the clouds thousands of miles away from the top of Mount Tai, emitting billions of golden glows. This golden glow was like an arrow, hitting the little lady's heart and pricking it with holes.

After Ming Zhaoxia said a few words to Zhao Si, she turned around and stared at the young lady, as if she was looking forward to her answer.

Facing Ming Zhaoxia's gaze, the little lady's heart was beating wildly, like dozens of deer jumping back and forth.

She took a few deep breaths, finally stopped her heart from beating so fast, and said calmly: "The answer to this mystery is the word guessing."

The surrounding crowd was in a roar.

When it comes to guessing riddles, often you just need to break through the layer of window paper and everything will become clear. There are many smart people present, but they are just wandering around the edge, just a little bit behind.

Everyone held their hands in submission and said, "You are such a talented lady, we admire her."

The clerk next to me also smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Madam, I got another brand, please keep it in my collection. It is said that this riddle came from an official family, but Madam can guess it, she is really a woman like no other."

.”

The young lady had a smile on her face and kept speaking modestly, but her attention was not far away.

She saw Ming Zhaoxia coming this way, but Zhao Si beside her seemed unwilling. The two argued for a while, and finally Zhao Si followed Ming Zhaoxia helplessly and walked over together.

He - walked towards me! Will he talk to me? What will he ask me? How will I answer? What if I am rude? Will he ask me my maiden name?

Of course, it is not easy to tell outsiders the maiden name of a girl who has not yet left the court. But if he wants to ask...should I answer truthfully? Or should I answer truthfully?

Oh, my heart is beating so fast. He is getting closer and closer. I can't be so flustered! If I am so flustered, I won't be able to answer his questions, and I will make a fool of myself.

Stay calm and don't panic!

The little lady tried her best to cheer herself up in her heart, and finally waited until Ming Zhaoxia came forward.

"My lady, please forgive me for being rude!" Ming Zhaoxia bowed her hands and sang a rude song.

"I admire the lady's ability to guess riddles like a divine help. I admire her very much. I would like to accompany her and try to guess the next few lantern riddles." Ming Zhaoxia invited her.

The young lady's face was as red as the red lotus lantern not far away.

The maid put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly: "This gentleman is very rude. Do you know who is in my house?"

"Oh, yes, which family does the lady belong to?"

"My Alang is a senior official in the Department of Merit and Virtue of the Ministry of Rites."

"The Du Si of the Merit Department of the Ministry of Etiquette..."

Ming Zhaoxia didn't say anything, but Zhao Si next to her disagreed, "My name is Li Gefei. Last year, he went to Northern Liao as an envoy to the Ministry of Rites and Deputy Envoy, and made some achievements..."

Seeing Zhao Si's understatement and even calling his senior officials by their first names, the maids and healthy women were very angry, and the young lady also looked unhappy.

He is such a arrogant and arrogant son of aristocratic family, why does Xiao Langjun associate with such people? However, with this vulgar person as a foil, Xiao Langjun is even more outstanding.

Ming Zhaoxia coughed and glared at Zhao Si.

You are used to being an official, and you treat everyone with disdain. Remember, we are doing a private visit incognito and fishing! Don't expose your identity.

Zhao Si received Ming Zhaoxia's reminder, smiled and said, "I call your officials by their names. It's rude and disrespectful. Please forgive me."

The maids and the strong women snorted, which was regarded as forgiveness.

The young lady smiled faintly and returned the gift, but she liked Ming Zhaoxia even more in her heart.

The young man is still a man who knows the rules and is courteous, and knows how to speak uprightly. The big man next to him looks even more vulgar and rude, especially the smile he just confessed to was so hypocritical that he really wanted to punch him.

The few people continued to walk forward. The young lady wanted to get close to Ming Zhaoxia, but the maid, who had a mission, stepped forward and got in the middle, ruining this good thing.

"Why do you throw a fruit car to hit a person in this dynasty?" The young lady turned to Ming Zhaoxia and said shyly, "Please take a guess, young man."

"Pan Mei." Ming Zhaoxia immediately told the answer to the riddle, then pointed to another lantern riddle and asked, "The Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed, and a person of this dynasty was killed. Please give me a guess."

"Sima Guang." The young lady replied without hesitation.

Ming Zhaoxia touched her palms and sighed, "My wife is smart. What do you think of these two lantern riddles?"

After speaking, she glanced at Zhao Si beside her.

Zhao Si also waited expectantly for the young lady's answer, with a smug look on his lips.

"Vulgar and superficial. The answer to the riddle is superficial and without any cleverness. It is extremely rude to use the names of Pan Wuhui Gong and Sima Wen Gong as the answer to the riddle."

The young lady's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Zhao Si's expectant heart until blood dripped with blood.

Ming Zhaoxia laughed loudly, stared at Zhao Si with teasing eyes, and said proudly: "It's vulgar and superficial, my lady really judged it very appropriately."

Zhao Si's face was dark. He tried his best to come up with these two lantern riddles. The queen and his wife agreed, and you, Ming Zhaoxia, also praised him without words at the time. Now he has fallen out of favor, and he actually agreed with that sharp-toothed riddle.

The gibberish of a little bitch.

Vulgar and shallow!?

How could such an easy-to-understand, fun-filled lantern riddle be vulgar and superficial?!

Zhao seemed very upset.
