Everyone shouted in unison, wanting to impress Mr. Xie with these two words. They thought about how high-spirited we were on that night of the seventh day of July, like brothers who share the same passion!
Xie Fuhehe: "We are all literati, don't talk about it."
——Yangzhou Talent, you were the first to mention dry orchid.
Damn it, I got shit thrown at me.
Lan Ning turned around suddenly, looked at Xie Fu coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "These two words are what you said!"
New grudges and old grudges! Xie Fu hurriedly explained: "Dry orchid is what we grow..."
Before Xie Fu could finish his words, a hand came out from behind and covered his mouth.
A man came out to confront Lan Ning: "Yes, dry orchid! It was said by our talented Yangzhou people."
Damn it! I am from Yangzhou and you are from Suzhou. What are we? You are adding fuel to the fire. You want to push me into the pit of fire.
Lan Ning smiled coldly: "Very good, guess, you'll get what you want." This sentence is equivalent to putting Xie Fu on the opposite side.
——Yangzhou Talent, we are cheering for you outside every night, can you hear us?
Xie Fu responded: "No, I didn't go to see Mrs. Lan Ning at all." Xie Fu wished he could clear up the relationship.
——You really sold the handkerchief. Why didn’t you refuse when I offered you a hundred taels?
Xie Fu thought to himself, Brother, please stop wiping shit. Didn't you see that Lan Ning hates me so much? After a while, you just slap your butts and leave. I can run away, but a monk can't run away from the temple.
——It seems that even Lan Ning has trouble catching your eye, and he is willing to exchange it for money.
Okay, Xie Fu was already covered in shit and said calmly: "Everyone, let's guess the riddles. Time is running out."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the burning incense. After such tossing and turning, only about a third of the half stick of incense remained.
But he was also calm, his eyes fell on Xie Fu, and he placed his hope on him.
Xie Fu simply lowered his eyes, it was none of his business anyway.
Everyone thought Fu Xie was deep in thought and did not dare to disturb him.
The two people on the left and right saw that Xie Fu had not said a word for a while, and they immediately fanned Xie Fu with the fans in their hands to prevent him from getting too hot and blocking his thinking.
Watching the burning incense slowly getting shorter, someone finally couldn't help but said: "Have you not thought of any of the talented people in Yangzhou?"
Xie Fu said: "Guess, how can I solve such a difficult puzzle? It's not like you don't know that Mrs. Lan Ning is very talented."
Mrs. Lan Ning, I complimented you. But Lan Ning doesn’t seem to appreciate it at all.
——What! We all depend on you! Otherwise, everyone will walk out of here naked in a while.
Juan'er stabbed the ground hard with the pole in her hand, making a loud noise, and said to Xie Fu: "Haha, I'm going to let you get spanked naked in a while!"
A picture immediately emerged in Xie Fu's mind, where a white chicken was being beaten on a chopping board.
He suddenly opened his eyes, like a tiger descending from the mountain, raised his hand to grab a folding fan, and gently fanned himself, looking indescribably elegant.
"The answer to the secret of returning to Cambodia is thorn red."
"The answer to the mystery of the year is the four seasons."
"Lian Jin is lying alone in bed and is in a state of confusion. The answer is that he will leave."
"The embroidered shoes are approaching the courtyard, and the lotus steps are hesitating. The answer is the red duck."
"Listen closely and knock on the jade in the west chamber. The answer is golden osmanthus."
"When you are in the boudoir, take a bath and apply makeup, and dress and look after yourself. The answer is Fuli."
"Outside of the house, if you forget to do your hair and have your hair messed up, it's like a woman. The answer is that she's old and charming."
"I lean on the fence and look at the yellow grass. The answer is peonies."
Seeing the answers to the riddles being solved one by one, these literati also became excited and excited. Although Qianlan had no chance with them, they were here to feel proud today, and it was the same for Yangzhou talents to do it as representatives.
Hum, mistaking our humility for incompetence.
In contrast, Lan Ning's face became increasingly ugly, her red lips under the veil were biting lightly, looking a little nervous.
The stakes are too high, including reputation, dignity, and even innocence.
Someone counted: "I guessed eight more, only two are missing."
"Yangzhou talented people are so talented, and dried orchids are just around the corner!"
Xie Fu held up his hand and said, "I praise you so much, I will inherit your power." Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the eyes of the three women.
Juaner is angry!
Qinglian is angry!
Lan Ning is resentful!
Xie Fu thought to himself, I am really not a human being inside and out today.
If I guess the last two, Mrs. Lan Ning's reputation will be ruined and her face will be lost.
If I can't guess it, all the good brothers will walk out naked.
We are all good brothers and sisters, why is there such a quarrel?
Although Ms. Lan Ning is more aggressive and fierce, she looks like a group of men bullying her, a little girl.
Looking at Lan Ning again, I felt that her watery eyes were filled with grievances.
We are beasts! We are beasts!
Xie Fu made a decision at that moment. Males are proud of being naked. Today, he would be naked for once, which would be considered a return to nature and his original nature.
Seeing that the talented man from Yangzhou didn't say a word for a long time, everyone was anxious as time passed, but they didn't dare to disturb him.
Finally, someone couldn't help shouting: "The incense is almost burned out."
Xie Fu responded casually: "The answer to the riddle of September 30th is butterbur."
He said excitedly: "Okay! Another guess!"
——How could it be coltsfoot?
Xie Fu explained: "On September 30th, when we kowtow to winter, if we kowtow the same style, wouldn't it be called coltsfoot?"
Everyone was surprised that this riddle was so difficult. This synonymous change of words was already the most difficult of the riddles and required extensive knowledge of general meanings. However, this riddle was actually solved first and then changed again.
If only a few people came today, Lan Ning would really kill them on the spot.
Fortunately, the Yangzhou talented man was dragged into the water, otherwise his buttocks would have been exposed.
Although everyone behaved wildly and talked about passion and impulsiveness, in fact everyone was very treacherous. Lao Liang and others who had just left first were probably already preparing their clothes at the entrance to Yingyuan.
Lan Ning looked at Xie Fu who answered the question coolly. The last two questions were the most difficult. It seemed like there was nothing to answer. In fact, it required three changes. It required quick thinking and a lot of changes. Most people would not be able to guess it.
These are also Lan Ning's last two life-saving charms.
Although I was extremely reluctant in my heart, I couldn't help but praise him, what a talented man from Yangzhou.
I just don’t know why, but the hatred in my eyes is even stronger. Why are you treating me like this?
——The talented scholar from Yangzhou is the last one left!
Lan Ning's heart trembled when he heard the sound: "He couldn't even guess the one he was betting on."
"Hate can't act independently...the answer..."
Xie Fu looked at Lan Ning, met her gaze, moved his lips slightly, as if he was about to speak, and then paused several times.
Lan Ning saw this moving and stopping movement, but it stirred her heartstrings. It was the first time that someone manipulated her body and mind like this. If he wanted her to be depressed, he would be depressed, and if he wanted her to be happy, he would be happy.
Finally, Lan Ning looked away and turned around proudly.
As the needle dropped, Juan'er's excited voice sounded: "The incense has burned out, it's time!"
Xie Fu felt a sense of relief in his heart. He tried his best, deserved the support of his brothers, and did not hurt Mrs. Lan Ning.
Juan'er's words were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads, and a ball of sadness filled her heart. Just like the moment she was sentenced to death, a clear line between luck and reality was finally drawn.
