Chapter 267 Cheating?

Chapter 267 Cheating?

Since they wanted to compete for the first place, those few people were faster. Shu Ji Xun had the most red tickets. This was the result of him and Shen Yuyu.

Shen Xingwang, a country man, couldn't do anything except guessing one of the riddles whose answer was corn.

Ji Feng should not be underestimated. Although he has not entered the school, Ji Xun has been teaching in person. He can guess a lot of words, idioms and so on.

There were also many scholars in the crowd, and soon the red sticks under hundreds of lanterns were almost finished.

After that, several people happily ran over to count. The sign was folded in half and glued together. They told the secret first, then opened the sign and wrote the secret inside. Those who guessed wrong or revealed the secret will not be counted.

Shen Yuyu had a total of ninety-eight pictures in a row, and not a single one of them was wrong.

The ranking is unknown at the moment and we will have to wait until the results of everyone else come out. But it goes without saying that the number is ninety-eight, so the top three are stable.

Several people were standing in front of the stage waiting to receive their awards. Master Li appeared on the stage and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Dear tourists and fellow villagers, today's lantern festival is carefully organized by our new magistrate Sun of Wantian County. I would like to ask Magistrate Sun to say a few words to you.

The scene immediately fell silent. Magistrate Sun appeared for the first time after taking office. Everyone was a little curious about what kind of person this official was.

In full view of everyone, Magistrate Sun, dressed in official uniform, climbed onto the stage step by step along the ladder with his skirt in hand.

Shen Yuhu, Ji Xun and others all turned their attention to him, and Ji Xun recalled in his mind what Zhang Neng had said about Sun Deming before.

Sun Deming, this year's new Jinshi, is a thirty-five-year-old official from Lingzhou. His first time as an official should not be too bad.

He is of medium height and slightly fat, and looks quite kind-hearted.

Zhang Neng should have greeted him early in the morning, but now his eyes fell directly on Ji Xun, Shen Yue and others, and he nodded slightly to Ji Xun.

Then he scanned the crowd and said loudly: "Visitors and neighbors, this is the first Shangyuan Festival that I have put a lot of effort into preparing. It is my honor to gather everyone here from all over the world.

After talking on the stage, the votes were tallied, and Mr. Li took a list and handed it to Magistrate Sun.

Magistrate Sun smiled and read loudly: "The sixth place winner in this year's Lantern Festival lantern guessing activity is Liu Houxue, a student from Huayang Academy. Mr. Liu is invited to come up to the stage to receive the prize. The prize is a set of four treasures of the study, a set of white jade paperweights." "

As soon as Magistrate Sun finished speaking, an honest young man wearing the uniform of Huayang Academy came onto the stage.

Magistrate Sun glanced at the young man with a smile, and then said: "The person who will present the prize to the sixth place is Boss Liu of Wenbaoxuan. Boss Liu has invited me." Magistrate Sun made a gesture of invitation and stepped aside.

A short, fat, bald, middle-aged man led several waiters and walked onto the stage holding prizes and smiling.

Before awarding the prizes, Boss Liu began to introduce the prizes nonstop.

"My "Four Treasures of the Study" of "Wenbaoxuan", the pen is a high-quality langhao pen, and the material of the inkstone is "red silk inkstone" from "the four famous inkstones". Look at this texture? This style of writing? This color? They are all top-grade among the top-grade.

Shen Yuyu couldn't help laughing in the audience. He didn't expect that ancient advertisements were so brilliant. They were just like modern ones. The business acumen of the ancients was also very good, so don't underestimate them!

It takes a long time to distribute the prizes. The prizes awarded for each ranking are provided by sponsors. These merchants have spent money, but they can't really tout their products on the stage?

If it weren't for the greed for those generous prizes, Shen Yuhu and the others wouldn't be able to bear it and would have to leave.

When the third place was awarded, Ji Feng fell asleep in Shen Xingwang's arms. Fortunately, they had shown their faces several times in Wantian County. Everyone knew that they had a close relationship with the inspector. Master Li immediately called Someone brought stools for them and they continued to sit down and wait.

The winners of the 34th, 56th and 6th places are all students from Huayang Academy, and the second place is Dean Yao of Qinglin Academy.

Dean Yao is a thin old man over fifty years old with gray hair and a goatee. As soon as he came on stage, he wrote a flattering poem praising the success of this lantern festival. After flattering Magistrate Sun, he did not forget to give it to himself. The academy ran a wave of advertisements.

After Dean Yao stepped down from the stage after receiving the prizes, Magistrate Sun solemnly announced the first place winner in the Lantern Festival Lantern Guessing Activity.

"Our first place winner is, is. It is from, from" County Magistrate Sun looked at the note with wide eyes in disbelief, and after a long while he read out, "It is from Fengming Tower at the end of Wanhua Street." 'Ji Xun, Shen Yue and his wife'

As soon as these words were said, the scene immediately exploded. Fengming House, Wanhua Street, and the couple..., well, a couple who runs a brothel have their own personalities!

But at the same time of ridicule, the words 'Fengming Building on Wanhua Street' were firmly remembered in everyone's mind.

Sun Juling could not hide his surprise and looked at Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu: "Ji Xun and his wife are invited to come to the stage to receive the award." Ji Xun took Shen Yuyu's hand and walked up to the stage.

"Dear neighbors and tourists, please be quiet. My husband has a few words to say." Shen Yue smiled and looked at Ji Xun.

Everyone laughed for a while and became quiet, wanting to hear what this man who opened a brothel with his wife had to say.

Ji Xun cleared his voice and said loudly in a crisp, pleasant and calm voice: "Today I am here to announce that the Fengming Restaurant at the end of Wanhua Street has officially been renamed Fengming Restaurant and will open on time in six days. Go to Fengming Restaurant then. 'The first ten guests at the table will receive a 40% discount, and the first one hundred guests will receive a plate of delicious spicy cabbage."

"Oh~~ It turns out that they bought a brothel and turned it into a restaurant. This advertisement is wonderful!" Someone suddenly realized it.

"Fengming Restaurant, remember, my wife will have nothing to do with me if I go to Wanhua Street in the future. We are going to Fengming Restaurant to eat, hehe!!'

Everyone laughed and talked, "The name Fengming Restaurant' spread like this. Shen Yue and Ji Xun looked at each other with satisfaction. It was so worth it for the free advertising.

"Now, I invite Mr. Zhao Mo, the owner of Zuixian Tower, to come up to the stage to present the award." As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, Zhao Mo strode onto the stage with a half-smile, but behind him there was no one holding the prize.

"Master Zhao, where is the prize? Sun Juling looked at him strangely."

"Prizes? Do they also deserve prizes?" Zhao Mo looked scornful and taunted loudly, "A country hunter and an illiterate peasant woman actually won the first place in this lantern guessing fan event. Everyone said it was ridiculous. Laughing? People say they deserve this prize or not?'

As soon as these words came out, the situation exploded again.

"So these two people are of this origin? Orions? Peasant women? Did they cheat?'

"He must have cheated. The dean of Qinglin Academy only guessed more than seventy puzzles. He is a Jinshi.

"Isn't it? There are so many students from Huayang Academy, are they not as good as this country couple?"

"A thorough investigation must be carried out! Such cheating is simply shameless!"
