"Principal Lin is so polite. It's fate that we work together, so naturally we have to help each other." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
In fact, Lin Yuanwen was just talking. They all knew Zhang Zhong's role in the visiting delegation. Although he held the title of deputy delegation, he had no management rights. In the past, he mainly served as a facade for the visiting delegation.
However, Zhang Zhong was a little surprised that Lin Xiang could join the group.
Although this time it was very large, with dozens of people, not all cats and dogs could get in.
Even if Lin Xiang is Lin Yuanwen's son, he can't just get in. Even if he goes through the back door, he can't go too far. After all, this delegation is attracting a lot of attention. If there is any scandal, Yang Fengxia will be embarrassed, and Lin Yuanwen will not be able to escape the involvement.
Judging from the way they cherish their feathers, Lin Xiang must have something.
Lin Xiang, who was next to his father, was indeed a good boy. When the adults were talking, he never interrupted or showed any signs of impatience. He always listened patiently and occasionally made some appropriate responses.
When Lin Yuanwen asked Zhang Chong to take care of him, he also smiled and nodded at Zhang Chong.
Seeing his son's behavior, Lin Yuanwen frowned and said, "You are just a submissive person, don't you know how to call someone?"
"Mr. Zhang." After being scolded by his father, Lin Xiang shouted obediently.
Yu Dongyu smiled and changed the topic, "Seeing that it will take a while after dinner, why don't we play a game."
Liu Yuan asked with great interest, "What game?"
"Guess the riddle."
"What kind of guessing method?" Fang Yingwu asked with a smile, although he added, "It can't be a brain teaser."
"This game we play doesn't make turns, it goes straight." Yu Dongyu waved his arm, "The rules are very simple. One person makes a question, and the others guess. The question requires you to find something in the yard, and then say something like this
Allusions or sentences related to things, others will guess it and then say a word related to this thing."
Zhuang Yu thought for a while and said with a smile, "After all, isn't this just shooting?"
Yu Dongyu nodded and said, "It can also be said to be Shefu."
Shefu is a game often played by literati in ancient times. There are many types of games, some are Shefu and some are Poems.
The earliest one is Shefu.
In the past, literati were more interested in divination, which was the general name for early occultism and astronomy.
When playing shoot-and-cover, the question maker covers an object, and then others use divination to guess what is inside.
I'm afraid not many of you here play divination, and probably not many of you have studied the Book of Changes, so naturally you can't play this kind of divination.
Most people should know the drinking order of Shefu from "A Dream of Red Mansions". In Chapter 62, at the birthday party of Zhong Baoyu and four people, Ping'er drew a drink, which is Shefu.
To cover is to guess the riddle, and to shoot is to guess the answer.
However, the ancient Shefu generally cannot be used as a drinking order, because there is no prompt and the chance of guessing is very low.
As for the drinking order in the Red Mansion, although there are prompts, it is too difficult and annoying, making it difficult for ordinary people to play.
Yu Dongyu proposed that this game should be simplified, and it is almost the same as ordinary word guessing puzzles.
At this time, Liu Yuan expressed his position and said, "I think it can be played. What do you think?"
Others also nodded.
When Yu Dongyu saw everyone else nodding, he smiled and said: "Then let me give the question first, and then Liu Yuan will guess it after I finish it."
Liu Yuan simply said, "Okay, let's see if you can do something good."
Then Yu Dongyu looked around the yard.
Others also followed his gaze, wanting to see what he was looking at. It would be easier to guess later.
In fact, Yu Dongyu had already spotted something and was waiting for the question. The reason why he turned around to look at it now was to mislead others.
He also took a special look at the flower garden in the corner.
Then he said, "Chicken."
"chicken?"
"Well, it's the chicken we usually eat." Yu Dongyu said.
Liu Yuan frowned and his head began to spin, looking for things related to chickens in the yard.
Although this riddle is similar to an ordinary guessing riddle, it is also difficult because there is only one word for chicken, which is too broad, and there are many allusions related to chicken.
After searching for a long time, Liu Yuan had no clue, so he said to Yu Dongyu, "The chicken is too broad, please give it another try."
Yu Dongyu smiled and said, "Two covers and one shot will reduce the difficulty. If you lose, the punishment will be doubled."
"What, there's still punishment?"
"There is no punishment this time, let's show off first."
"Okay, you go ahead."
"Then let me say one more thing." Yu Dongyu thought for a while and said, "Zheng Ren, Zheng is Guan Er Zheng."
"Zheng people?" Liu Yuan then thought of the allusion of Zheng people buying shoes. The word "shoot" should be shoes, but how does this relate to the "chicken" just now?
"Hurry up, hurry up." Yu Dongyu urged.
Liu Yuan couldn't figure out the connection between the two words, so he could only shoot "shoes".
"cut."
When Yu Dongyu heard the word "qie", he thought about it and said, "You are right."
He used the allusion of cutting feet to fit shoes.
Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "That's right? But what is the allusion to the first chicken?"
Yu Dongyu pointed to Fang Yingwu's shoes and said, "Look at Lao Fang's shoes."
Liu Yuan looked, and everyone also looked.
Fang Yingwu wore cloth shoes with two gray birds embroidered on them.
After Liu Yuan reacted, he rolled his eyes at Yu Dongyu, "What's the difference between this and a brain teaser?"
"Let's just do it, as long as you get what you want. I'm not punishing you? Come on, let's practice a few more rounds. We can use it when we eat later." Yu Dongyu said.
The reason why Yu Dongyu proposed to play this game now was because he wanted everyone to have a drinking experience while drinking.
At this time, many people are not familiar with this game, and they have difficulty playing it. However, after a few rounds, everyone has figured out the rules and essentials, and gradually the atmosphere has increased.
After playing for a while, Wang Kewang greeted people for dinner inside. Everyone got up one after another. Yu Dongyu followed everyone inside, still saying, "Let's continue right away."
"Continue what?" Wang Meng came out of the back room and asked when he heard Yu Dongyu calling.
Yu Dongyu told Wang Meng what they had just played about shooting. After hearing this, the old man was very interested and said with a smile, "This is good, I will be your judge later."
"This is a good thing."
There were many people today, so two tables were set up, one for the young people and one for the older ones.
Of course there are exceptions. Depending on your age, Zhang Zhong should be at the young people's table.
The table was not big, so it was a bit crowded with more than a dozen people sitting there, but no one cared.
After sitting down, Wang Meng said, "I hope you pour the wine, Ke. Let's play the game first. I'll take roll call. Zhuang Yu, you ask the question first, and Zhang Chong will answer it. If Zhang Chong's answer is wrong, go back from Zhang Zhong's left hand side."
