Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginning Chapter 463 I cant guess riddles, but I can do couplets!
Chapter 463 I cant guess riddles, but I can do couplets!
"Okay! It's no problem to meet my brother, I can arrange it for you!"
The red lady secretly guessed that Mr. Baimei must have something to ask of her brother. However, she only arranged a meeting for him, and the decision-making power still rested with her brother, so after a little hesitation, she agreed.
She was sure to make a profit from this transaction.
Li Nuo smiled and bowed and said: "Then there is Miss Lao Hong. When the Lantern Festival is over, I ask Miss Hong to make arrangements as soon as possible."
The red lady nodded gently.
In the Plum Garden, lanterns whose riddles have been guessed are hung high on the branches, eaves, pavilions and other places, and the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival suddenly rises.
I don’t know when the flying snow has stopped. Under the setting sun at dusk, the snowy plum blossoms with silvery branches and frost flowers can be said to be a standout, standing proudly, overwhelming the entire winter and spring.
On the altar stove, blue smoke and birds were rising, and the sandalwood was half burned.
Li Nuo was still at ease, drinking tea while admiring the beautiful scenery after the wind and snow suddenly stopped.
When the red lady saw this, she became a little anxious: "Mr. Baimei, why don't you come on stage? There are only twenty lanterns left, and Zhao Mozhi's score is already ranked third!"
Every time a lantern riddle is guessed, a boy sings, and then the answer and score are recorded on the eucalyptus for everyone on the field to watch.
This move will naturally stimulate everyone on the field to use their brains harder to guess the riddles. In this way, the atmosphere in the field will become more and more lively.
After all, everyone wants to be the best and enhance their reputation among the scholars in Jiangnan.
And the name of the so-called gifted scholar slowly spread along with such literary meetings.
This is also the reason why everyone is keen to participate in cultural gatherings.
At this point, the score difference between the top ten players on the field is actually not that big, but no one has answered the two puzzles with the highest scores, so there is still a lot of suspense about who will win the championship in the end.
Li Nuo shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know how to guess riddles, so I won't go up and embarrass myself."
Hey, he is an "honest young man", how can he lie?
It's okay to ask him to recite a few eternal absolutes or recite some awesome poems. After all, he has a lot of memories of the most prosperous and splendid era in his mind.
But his involvement in lantern riddles is indeed somewhat sparse.
If you don’t, you just won’t. Just admit it openly. There is no need to pretend to be fat.
Seeing Li Nuo's frank look, the red lady opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.
Ah this...
Are you trusting someone else?
But how could Mr. Baimei remain calm and not panic at all? He made it seem like he was sure of victory.
Are you sure this is all an illusion?
Li Nuo was naturally magnanimous in his heart, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
Soon, the sandalwood burned to three-quarters, and the ranking also changed.
Zhao Mozhi thought hard, and when a blind cat encountered a dead mouse, he got a five-point puzzle right, and directly counterattacked to the first place!
He was immediately elated and his face was filled with pride.
The redness and swelling on the face have also subsided a lot. Although there is still occasional leakage from the mouth, the condition is obviously much better than before.
Seeing that the time was coming soon, and there were only two lantern riddles left on the field that had not been guessed, he knew that his chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger.
He now has a total of 19 points, ranking first. Followed by a young talent from the Lu family, with 17 points.
However, the third place is a bit surprising, it is actually a woman.
Who says women are inferior to men?
This is also a landscape that is eye-catching!
Although those who are lagging behind on the field are anxious, they are also holding back a lot of energy in their hearts!
After all, the scores of the last two lantern riddles are so tempting, they are both the most difficult ten points! If you just guess one of them, you can make a huge comeback.
Nangong Hubo was lucky enough to answer the simplest lantern riddle correctly and got a valuable point.
It's absolutely no problem for her to wield a sword and kill enemies on the battlefield. But if she puts down her sword to guess riddles, it's not because she's stupid...well, it's actually just stupid!
She was also very upset, but who said she didn't have much talent in literature?
And seeing Zhao Mo's expression of success as a villain, she was very angry!
"Sister Nangong, Xiaosheng asked himself the second place in a riddle, but no one dared to say he was first. Although this year's Spring Festival won't win the first place in one fell swoop, there should be a good chance of becoming a second-class Jinshi. If you marry into my Zhao family, Xiaosheng will definitely
I won’t treat you badly.”
Zhao Mo looked at Nangong Hubo up and down, and there was a fire in his heart, which suddenly jumped up.
Although Nangong Hubo wears an underskirt, her figure is far more arrogant than other women due to years of exercise. How can a mere underskirt cover it up?
As for her appearance, her eyes are full of spring, her eyebrows are like mountains, and there is a beauty mark dotted on the edge of her crimson lips. Even the Qingluan Courtesan of Qingluan Pavilion is a little inferior.
Zhao Mozhi thought that he could conquer this tiger girl with his talent, but he didn't know that what bothered Nangong Hubo the most was an aristocratic young man like him who was docile and had no power to restrain a chicken.
What she likes is a heroic figure like Lu Yihong.
After giving Zhao Mo a murderous look, Nangong Hubo ran to the pavilion angrily and said angrily: "Auntie, you must help me teach that Zhao Mozhi a lesson!"
The red lady looked embarrassed and asked: "Auntie is not good at guessing word puzzles either. How about you go up and give him a knife to vent your anger?"
Ah.
She is truly a hero among all the women in the world, and she will do anything if she disagrees with you!
Li Nuo cursed.
Nangong Hubo actually believed it and said happily: "Okay! Auntie, have you brought a knife? Cut him a few times to make him understand that toads should not eat swan meat. As for compensation, I have saved a lot over the years!"
The red lady couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey, good niece, you are serious. Why don't you come and beg this young master..."
"I've seen the hero Baimei!"
Nangong Hubo's eyes lit up, and he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Little girl Nangong Hubo, as long as you can help me get rid of this bad breath, how about I give you a hundred altars of [Immortal Drunk]?"
Li Nuo was speechless:...
Bribing me with my stuff?
This girl is really cute.
It would not be bad if he and Lu Yihong really came together.
"Don't worry, it's definitely not mixed with water, it's the original flavor!"
Nangong Amber also added.
"Okay, don't mix it with water!"
Li Nuo was also amused.
"That's for sure. My Nangong family cooperates with the Cao Gang, and all the [Immortal Drunk] we get is first-hand!"
Nangong Hubo vowed, then turned around and glanced at Sandalwood, and said hurriedly, "But Master Baimei, you have to hurry up, there is not much time left."
Li Nuo was playing with the tea cup in his hand. He really knows these last two lantern riddles...
Is this because God is also helping him?
He quietly revealed a trace of literary talent and said a few words to Nangong Hubo using the method of close-range sound transmission.
Nangong Hubo nodded frequently, with excitement on his face: "Is this enough?"
"The incense will burn out soon, why don't you go quickly?"
Li Nuo reminded me.
"Thank you!"
Nangong Hubo hurriedly ran to Mi Deng.
Seeing that there was not much time left, everyone on the field seemed to have accepted their fate, and began to congratulate Zhao Mo for coming.
Even Yao Guangzong stood up from his seat and walked towards the riddle table.
He is about to announce the results.
"Wait!"
A loud shout attracted everyone's attention.
Nangong Hubo strode forward and said, "The incense has not been burned yet. Since you don't know the last two mysteries, let me solve them!"
"Miss Nangong? You still don't show your face, hahaha..."
Everyone laughed good-naturedly.
After all, Nangong Hubo, who doesn't like red clothes and prefers armed weapons, is also very famous in Jiangnan.
Who doesn't know?
Nangong Hubo ignored it. She pointed to the lantern and said quickly: "I know the answer to this riddle."
"Nangong Amber, everyone who has read books for a few years knows this riddle. But the prerequisite must be told in the form of couplets. Otherwise, how do you think it can stump so many talented people?"
Seeing Nangong Hubo coming on stage, Princess Nanguo couldn't sit still and immediately stepped forward to make fun of her.
The most poisonous woman's heart.
She will definitely humiliate Nangong Huhu to death.
This lantern riddle is worth ten points, how can it be so easy?
On the lantern, there is a figure painted. He is heroic, guiding the country, and looks like an emperor of a generation. It is none other than Dayin's first emperor, Taizu Li Shiyuan!
On the side of the portrait of Taizu, there is a line of riddles written, which is exactly: "Reunion of sixty-year-olds adds thirty-seven years!"
One year is sixty years, and the reunion is one hundred and twenty. Thirty-seven years is twenty-one years, so the answer is "one hundred and forty-one years."
As we all know, during the Spring Festival, the sixteen-year-old Taizu raised an army and fought in the north and south for eighteen years. Finally, at the age of thirty-four, he ended the era of feudal separatism and established Dayin. However, he only reigned for five short years.
Years ago, he passed away due to a recurrence of his old illness.
It has been one hundred and seven years since the reign of Zuo of the Kingdom of Dayin.
The age of Taizu Li Shiyuan was exactly 141 years old!
Therefore, this lantern riddle is very clever!
Everyone knows the answer, but to match it... it requires a little skill, because it must be solved in the form of couplets.
The most important test of the couplet riddle is the quick wit of everyone present.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, no one on the field could give a suitable answer.
Nangong Hubo glanced at the Princess of Nanguo with disdain and snorted: "Huh, of course I know it. Do you still need to remind me? My answer is, 'The ancients are celebrating each other, and one more spring and autumn is coming!'"
One word comes out.
The whole place was silent.
After everyone thought about it for a moment, they suddenly became enlightened.
This is really...
So subtle!
Seventy years is rare in life.
The two celebrations of ancient times are one hundred and forty years!
One more spring and autumn, and it will be another year.
The answer to this mystery is truly amazing!
But...when did this Nangong Amber become so powerful?
Hasn’t she always liked martial arts and hated literature?
So, someone cast their eyes towards the pavilion.
After all, Nangong Hubo ran into the pavilion just now, and then this unexpected change occurred.
Could it be that the master is in the pavilion?
Could it be him?
Everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Baimei, who had a calm expression and was quietly enjoying tea and admiring plum blossoms.
It should be him.
After all, he just made such a profound impression on people.
The phrase "no plum blossoms can be seen even after flying in" has already proved his talent!
But why didn't he end it in person instead of letting Nangong Hubo convey it on his behalf?
The prize for the top prize in guessing is a sword worth thousands of gold!
No man can refuse a BMW and a sword, just as a woman cannot refuse a beauty that lasts forever.
Bang bang bang.
Yao Guangzong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Miss Nangong for winning ten points. I wonder if you have answered the last riddle?"
"Hey, thank you, Chief Yao Shan. The second answer to the riddle is quite simple..."
Nangong Hubo's face showed a proud look.
It turns out that this feeling is so wonderful.
It's like a poor student who has never passed a test suddenly gets a perfect score!
Zhao Mozhi suddenly felt something bad.
Could this Nangong Amber make a comeback at the last moment?
He was just about to speak out to delay the time, but Nangong Hubo didn't give him a chance, and immediately said: "There are poems, lyrics, and the Analects of Confucius. Although it is a short article about the east, west, south, and north model lakes, it is a wonderful article!"
This question does not require the use of couplets to answer, but this...
Everyone was confused.
But Nangong Hubo kept her arrogant expression unchanged.
Hmm. Actually, she didn't know what it meant. She just repeated what Mr. Baimei taught her.
The incense quickly burned out in the wind...
Everyone looked at each other.
Zhao Mozhi's face was ashen.
He felt that his IQ seemed a little inadequate.
Yao Guangzong was in extremely complicated mood.
These two mysteries were both created by him, but he spent a lot of effort on them.
I thought that after this article meeting, these two mysteries would become his eternal masterpieces and make him famous far and wide, but unexpectedly, someone guessed them both.
"Miss Nangong, your couplet is neat, but can you explain what it means?"
someone asked.
Nangong Hubo didn't answer. According to Mr. Baimei, just keep her expression unchanged. Someone will naturally help her answer the question.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, Yao Guangzong explained it.
He sighed: "The answer to the riddle is 'black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, they are like foxes, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild beasts', and the answer is 'guess'..."
It's not black, white, red or yellow, so isn't it just "green"?
It looks like a fox, cat or dog, so isn’t it just a “horse”?
The combination is the word "guess", which coincides with the last sentence. It is neither a domestic animal nor a wild beast.
Everyone was greatly moved.
This mystery is really tricky.
Yao Guangzong paused and continued to explain: "But Miss Nangong did not give a direct answer. Instead, she gave, 'There are also poems, there are also lyrics, and there are also in the Analects of Confucius. Although it is a short article about the East, West, South, and North Model Lake, it is a short article, but it is a wonderful article.'
The answer to this riddle is 'riddle'. The two couplets match each other neatly, and the answer happens to form the word 'guess riddle', which is exactly what I want to ask. This is something I never expected..."
Poetry and the Analects of Confucius have it all, isn't it just "words"?
For the lakes in the southeast, northwest and northwest, it means that you have lost your way, so the word "mi" is used.
Put together, it is the word "mystery"!
Although the riddle is a short piece, it is also a wonderful piece of writing!
Hearing Yao Guangzong's explanation, everyone suddenly understood and praised him!
It was really eye-opening for them to be able to guess riddles in this way.
Of course, they were willing to accept the defeat and were convinced.
In this sentence, the loser is not unfair!
"Master Baimei, didn't you say you don't know how to guess riddles?"
The red lady stared into Li Nuo's eyes with great sadness.
Li Nuo replied: "It's true that I can't guess crossword puzzles, but couplets are my specialty. Li Zian even wants to worship me as his teacher."
Invisible pretense is the most deadly.
Li Nuo knows his way.
The red lady couldn't help but marvel.
But on the court, Princess Nanguo was not happy.
It doesn’t matter if others steal the limelight, but it’s definitely not the case for your arch-rival Nangong Amber!
She showed a vicious look in her eyes and shouted: "How could it be like this, how could it be like this! I don't believe you came up with this! Nangong Hubo, there is an expert behind you, you are cheating!"
Nangong Hubo said contemptuously: "I will tell the truth. This is what Master Baimei told me. What's wrong? Don't you accept it?"
"Then the score cannot be counted on you."
Princess Nanguo gritted her teeth.
"It's okay if you don't count. Two riddles, twenty points. Mr. Bai Mei just surpassed Zhao Mozhi and got the first place. Hehe, I'm convinced too."
Nangong Hubo gloated over his misfortune.
It doesn't matter who takes first place, but we can't let Zhao Mozhi take it.
"snort!"
Princess Nanguo could only snort and sulk. She didn't expect Nanguo Amber to admit it openly.
In this case, she can't use cheating as an excuse.
Li Nuo was quite speechless.
How could this Nangong surrender him?
Okay, now he's going to be in the limelight again...
