The surroundings were originally filled with the whispers of the servants. After Lei Ao announced the start of the arena competition, there was silence for a moment. Everyone on the second floor also paid close attention to the situation under the stage.
Ding Xilan signaled Xiaocao to retreat to the back of the stage, and glanced at the seats behind her: the kind and kind smiles on the faces of Lei Lie and Grandma Lei, as well as the concern in the eyes of Yunxiu and Xiangxiu, made her feel warmer.
Looking back and catching a glimpse of Lei Shaoyang's confident smile, Ding Xilan thought to herself: Don't be complacent yet, we still don't know who will win.
At this time, I heard Lei Shaoyang slowly say: "Miss Ding, are you ready?"
Ding Xilan nodded slightly. This guy was quite good at pretending in front of others. He called her "Miss Ding", which made her really "flattered".
However, this is better than calling her "Sister Xilan".
However, she didn't know that Lei Shaoyang had to put a lot of effort into remembering such a "title". You know, they were fighting in the ring today for a lifelong event. Although Lei Lie already recognized Ding Xilan as his granddaughter, Lei Shaoyang felt that
, it’s awkward to call her “sister” on the ring. How can a brother fight with a sister in the ring? But you can’t call her “wild girl” in public, right? That would be disrespectful to her status, and besides, she might even be criticized by her father.
He was scolded for a while. After much thought, he finally felt that calling her "Miss Ding" was most appropriate.
Seeing this, Lei Shaoyang waved his folding fan and said: "In this first round, the test is your wit. Wit is the most important thing. No matter how familiar you are with the books of sages and you are full of knowledge, if you don't know how to adapt and use them flexibly, you will be a nerd at best.
one……"
Ding Xilan listened to him talk a lot, but never mentioned the test questions, and she couldn't help but feel bored. Sensing the strangeness in her mood, Ding Xilan immediately wring her fingers with a handkerchief and thought to herself: Ding Xilan, how could you
If you are upset because of a small thing, if you don't have reason and calmness, how will you behave in the future?
She has always been strict with herself. No matter what she faces or at any time, she requires herself to stay as calm as possible.
With great difficulty, Lei Shaoyang finally finished his "long speech" and only heard him say: "Next, I will tell you a story, Miss Ding, you must listen carefully. Some distant friends came to the house of a certain member of the family, and it happened that
The member didn't know how to drink, and there happened to be a man in his residence who was good at drinking. So the member asked him to accompany him. After drinking tea, a friend pointed at the man and asked the member who he was. The member held out a small
Pointing his finger, he said: "He? It's this one." My friend thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. The clerk gave some suggestions, and then he suddenly realized it. I don't know, can Miss Ding guess what that person's last name is and what he does?
?"
When Ding Xilan heard this, she was immediately at a loss and couldn't help but start to ponder every word he said.
When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but be confused. Only Lei Lie stroked his beard and sighed softly: "This kid is very tricky."
Hearing this, Grandma Lei said: "Old man, do you know what the person Shaoyang mentioned does?"
"Why don't you know?" Lei Lie said, "The story Shaoyang told me was something I told him twelve years ago. The member of the Communist Party of China in the story is an old friend of mine. But I didn't expect that after so many years,
It's been so long, but he still hasn't forgotten. This time, Xilan may have to worry a lot."
At this moment, Lei Shaoyang smiled again and said: "Miss Ding, please think carefully, you only have half a cup of tea."
Ding Xilan ignored him and concentrated on trying to find some clues from what he just said. However, this question was really clever, and she still had no clue until now.
"What should we do?" Grandma Lei became even more anxious when she saw that Lei Shaoyang had told him the time limit, while Lei Yunxiu and Lei Xiangxiu on the side couldn't help but worry about Ding Xilan.
"Old man, you know, just give me a hint. Otherwise, Xilan will be confused and it will be difficult to find a clue." Grandma Lei urged.
