An Huai was anxious at that time and didn't care much. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Wait!"
The host heard the sound and looked over, and everyone in the hall also looked over.
An Huai said: "We are already writing, we will be ready soon!"
While An Huai was talking, Bai Yucheng hurriedly finished the remaining strokes. Although the writing was a bit ugly, he couldn't care less at this moment.
Bai Yucheng hurriedly ran to hand the written answer sheet to the gift man. The gift man did not pick it up, but still saw the content on the answer sheet. He said with a helpless expression and a regretful tone: "I'm very sorry. The third gong sounds."
Once it rings, it means that the specified time has come. Although you did get the answer right, you failed to hand in the answer sheet in time, so you are out anyway..."
Bai Yucheng stood in the audience holding the answer sheet. He was extremely anxious and couldn't help but said: "Can't you be accommodating? It's just so late..."
The gift man glanced at Bai Yucheng and said: "As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules! This is just the first prize, and you can keep up the good work later..."
After saying that, the host looked at Mr. An Huai.
Chai Yan was very surprised. He originally thought that the host would favor An Huai at the table, but he did not expect that he was upright and obeyed and refused to accommodate the other party.
Just as he was about to negotiate with Li Ren again, Mr. An Huai suddenly felt a cold gaze directed at him. He turned around and saw that it was his grandfather staring at him.
When Hanuo saw An Huai noticed his gaze, he slowly shook his head and signaled him not to say any more words.
An Huai had no choice but to call Bai Yucheng back with his eyes, and then sat down unwillingly.
Bai Yucheng apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, it's all my fault..."
An Huai was unwilling to accept it, but he still showed great magnanimity on his face and said disdainfully: "It's okay, it's just a worthless silver box. I gave it to him!"
At this time, many people in the hall began to urge the host to announce the answer to the riddle and verify whether Chai Yan's answer was correct.
The host signaled everyone to be calm, then turned around and took the answer sheets from Chai Yan's table, and walked to the stage to make a presentation to everyone.
Bai Yucheng suddenly felt lucky and whispered: "Master, they may not have the right answer. If so, we are just a tie and there is still a chance..."
Mr. An Huai thought that it was possible, and immediately stared at the paper in the gift's hand.
The host opened the white paper, raised his hand and showed it to everyone: "Everyone, the answer to the mystery is the word 'ya'! The first prize was won by Mr. Chai at the table!"
As soon as the answer to the riddle was announced, there was an outburst below, and many people started gesticulating and writing. After verification, it was found that, as stated on the riddle, the word "Ya" was exactly three times in a row, one horizontally and one vertically, and then again.
Three times in a row, one vertical and one horizontal.
Sang Mu wrote the word "ya" on the table with his finger, and then regretted: "The riddle has broken one stroke into several strokes, which is really unexpected..."
Hanuo nodded slightly, looked at Chai Yan's table from a distance, and thought to himself that this man is indeed very smart, no wonder he has such a status at such a young age!
During this interval, the young man on the stage delivered the silver box to Chai Yan's table.
Chai Yan briefly looked at the silver box, then pushed it in front of Yuan Yuan, and said: "How about it, I keep my word! I said I want to win it, so I must win it!"
At this time, the audience congratulated loudly on the stage: "Everyone, let us congratulate Mr. Chai on his victory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was some applause in the hall.
This scene surprised Chai Yan. He immediately stood up, raised his hands to the applauding crowd and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support!"
After thanking you several times, Chai Yan sat down happily and said to the three Yuan people: "Did you see it? This is the applause you have won for your own ability!"
After hearing this, Yuan Yuan immediately raised her fan to cover her mouth and nose. At a glance, she knew that she was snickering.
"Master Chai, how did you come up with the word "ya"?" Guan Maochun asked curiously.
Cheng Jiu also wanted to know the reason, and his eyes fell on Chai Yan's face without moving.
Chai Yan's upper body sank slightly, and he covered his mouth with his hand and said: "Actually, I happened to be reading a book these days. There was a handsome man in the book who was very talented in literature, Taoism and martial arts. This handsome man impressed me deeply, so I can think of it immediately, hehehe..."
"Ah, what a coincidence!" Guan Maochun was obviously very surprised.
Cheng Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth and turned away, thinking to himself that it was just good luck!
Chai Yan guessed what Cheng Jiu was thinking and immediately said: "Have you ever heard of a saying? Luck is also a part of strength!"
"Master Chai, what is Yashuai?" Guan Maochun asked Chai Yan.
Chai Yan curled his lips and said: "Idiot, he is the deputy commander!"
"oh......"
As he was speaking, there was movement on the stage.
Everyone looked up and saw that the second prize was displayed.
"Yo! This is... amethyst?"
Chai Yan was slightly surprised. It turned out that the second prize was a lavender crystal stone, about the size of a newborn baby's fist, crystal clear and translucent.
Yuan looked at the amethyst on the stage and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful..."
Chai Yan was happy when he heard this, thinking that women are women and they cannot resist the attraction of gems and other objects.
Guan Maochun asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, this thing must be very valuable, right?"
Cheng Jiu wasn't entirely sure, but he always found it very valuable and attractive, so he nodded and said, "It should be so!"
Chai Yan heard the conversation between the two and suddenly interjected: "If the purple is darker, it will be more valuable..."
"What do you know?" Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Chai Yan smiled and nodded slowly: "I'm sorry, I just know a little bit, not much, just a little bit..."
Before time travel, Chai Yan liked to watch various popular science programs. One of the episodes was dedicated to introducing gems of various colors, including purple gems!
Guan Maochun said hurriedly: "Sir, please stop showing off and tell me..."
Yuan Yuan and Cheng Jiu also looked at Chai Yan curiously, wanting to hear what he continued to say.
"Ahem..." Chai Yan cleared his throat and said like a scholar: "This amethyst can also be called amethyst. It is a mineral composed of silica. To put it simply, it is quartz. ......."
Guan Maochun was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Sir, I've only heard of turtle bastard, what kind of turtle is a slide turtle? And... why do you need to raise turtles?"
"It's not a turtle, it's silica! This, this... where's the silica... Hey, you can't understand even if I tell you... Anyway, remember
, it’s called silica!”
Chai Yan asked himself that his colleague Guan Maochun could not explain these contents, so he immediately chose to give up.
"But my lord..."
Guan Maochun was like a question baby, and Chai Yan had just finished speaking and wanted to ask questions again.
Chai Yan immediately raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Hey! Can you please stop interrupting me? Do you want me to finish my sentence?"
