And with better luck, there is a possibility of getting them all.
Suddenly!
Everyone in the hall was eager to try.
Zhou Xiaoan, who had never interacted with others, stood up, bowed his hands to everyone, and said, "In this case, the students will start by offering suggestions."
After that, he looked at Li Jiulang and Wei Jiu and bowed again.
Wei Jiu gently turned the joystick.
immediately
The origami fell down.
Zhou Xiaoan's eyes were as bright as fire, staring at the paper ball.
And everyone around them gathered together to take a look.
But unfortunately, what was written after opening was a lantern riddle instead of the unique word "big prize".
Zhou Xiaoan also sighed, but it didn't matter. He held the fan in front of his mouth and said, "Please ask the two adults for the question."
Li Jiulang looked at the question in his hand and said with a smile: "Why is it so difficult?"
After that, he looked at Zhou Xiaoan and read the title on the paper: "Two shapes and one body, four branches and eight heads. Four eight hundred and eight, flying spring flowing upward."
Upon hearing this question, everyone present, who were all quick thinkers, fell into deep thought.
Among them, Master Yao smiled immediately and knew the answer.
However, many people frowned as they couldn't think of what the word was.
Su Zifan asked his eldest brother and niece.
But as Su Zimu drew lightly with his hands, he suddenly realized something and whispered the answer to Su Zifan. Su Zifan was surprised.
Zhou Xiaoan smiled at this time: "But the word 'well' for well water."
As soon as these words came out, many people were immediately stunned.
Two-shaped one refers to the word "well" consisting of two horizontal and two vertical ones. Two horizontal and two vertical are like human "limbs". After crossing, eight heads appear, so it is called "four branches and eight heads". The sum of "4818" is 58, which is forty, and the word "well" is divided into four tens. "Feiquan Yangliu" refers to the situation of drawing water from a well and flowing from bottom to top.
"Wonderful." Someone couldn't help but sigh.
In Daxia, lantern riddles have actually only been around for a few decades, but I thought the riddle-making techniques were clever enough, but I never imagined that lantern riddles could be produced like this.
Li Jiulang took out another piece of paper from his hand, with the number twenty-one written on it. After handing it to Zhou Xiaoan, Li Jiulang said: "When today's poetry meeting is about to end, I will use this opportunity to draw a lottery, and what number will be drawn?" , which is the number on which the big prize was won, and so on."
Zhou Xiaoan took the paper, bowed and saluted, and then he was about to leave, but he looked at Li Jiulang: "Master Li, students dare to ask who created this lantern riddle."
Li Jiulang immediately said: "It was all written by the Queen, and we copied it."
When everyone heard this, they secretly marveled.
Zhou Xiaoan was even more surprised, and then he saluted again and turned to leave.
And everyone looked at Zhou Xiaoan's enchanting look. Although everyone was a little bit intolerable, the admiration in their eyes was unstinting.
The answer to such a lantern riddle is something that an extraordinary person can do.
but.
Thinking of this exquisite lantern riddle, everyone sighed again. It is really exquisite and powerful, and she is indeed worthy of being the Queen.
There are also lottery and other ways to play, which is novel!
I don’t know how the empress came up with this.
but
With the first person, there will naturally be a second person, not to mention the grand prize and the special prize are too tempting!
The second person to participate was Cao Shen, but the Minister of Rites was lucky enough to draw a simple lantern riddle called "Half True and Half False". He didn't need to think about it, and he directly answered the question with the word "worthy".
Then Old Master Yao also came on stage, but the lantern riddle he drew was not for guessing words, but for guessing the festival: "In early September, the shadows of the wild geese first fly, and their heads must be filled with chrysanthemums."
Naturally, Old Master Yao immediately thought of the Double Ninth Festival.
But because of this, Li Jiulang and Wei Jiu immediately told everyone that the Queen Empress wrote not only word guessing and lantern riddles, but also many other things.
Everyone became more and more interested and urged to start quickly.
Ever since.
all of a sudden
The atmosphere in the hall became active.
Those who guessed it would naturally get a number plate, while those who didn't guess had to stand at the back and queue up again.
Yan Shu, Zuo Shaoweng and his group are not all here today.
People like Liu Xuan, Liu Sanbai, Wei Zijian and others have never come, mainly because they did not receive invitations.
And Yan Shu and Zuo Shaoweng were able to come because of their relationship with the top three.
As for Levi being here, it's because of his father.
but.
Yan Shu was lucky. The lantern riddle he picked was not difficult and he answered it casually.
Zuo Shaoweng had a little more difficulty, but he answered it.
But Li Wei couldn't do it. It was an idiom riddle. He didn't expect it. Not to mention him, Yan Shu and others didn't expect it, so they could only wait in line again.
But there were twenty or thirty people, but the special prize slip didn’t come out, so Li Wei thought he could win the special prize!
Gu Chiyu walked to Yan Shu's side.
Yan Shu saw that Gu Chiyu didn't have a number plate in his hand and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to participate?"
Gu Chiyu shook his head: "I work with Mr. Li and the others, so I can't participate, otherwise it will be talked about and give the empress a bad reputation."
Yan Shu nodded.
Then he looked down at his sign with the word 'sixty' and handed it to Gu Chiyu: "Then take this. I don't know if I can get it."
Gu Chiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Shu with a smile: "Just give me this?"
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss. He was really not good at things between men and women, so he turned to Zuo Shaoweng for help.
Little did he know that Zuo Shaoweng had already left voluntarily when Gu Chiyu came over.
Gu Chiyu smiled softly when he saw Yan Shu's panic.
But just speak.
Just listen to Mu Xu's voice coming from the screen at the door: "Oh, what are you doing here with so many people around!"
Everyone turned to look over and saw Mu Xu with his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face, followed by Xun Kuang, and then...
Ok?
When everyone saw the person walking with Ji Shuying, they were all startled, because this person was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil, and Ji Shuying looked very respectful, and Xun Siye also looked respectful. .
The figure is also graceful, and she is a woman.
Thinking like this, a few people stood up silently.
It doesn't matter whether you are the empress or not. What is important is to prepare yourself for the ceremony to avoid being rude.
Seeing everyone looking at them like this, Mu Xu couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at? Many of you here have seen my junior sister Pei Nanzhi, haven't you?"
As soon as these words came out.
The woman wearing a bamboo hat took off her hat and then saluted everyone.
Some people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought she was the Queen!
but.
Not the Queen, this is scary enough!
Pei Nanzhi, the second person on the poetry list.
And in terms of knowledge, he is not inferior to the masters in the Imperial College. He was as famous as Mr. Shuiyun back then, but now, because the two walk differently, they cannot be compared.
He has great fame and is still the number one scholar in his year.
It was just that she didn't want to be an official, so after resigning, she went to Changyang to escape the world and study. The late empress personally rewarded her with a residence in Changyang. From then on, she rarely came out, but her poems will always appear in the market. , and in a recent poem, I heard that a wealthy businessman spent more than 1,300 taels of silver to buy it!
This is still the cheapest!
Mu Xu looked at Ji Shuying: "Take your teacher to sit down."
Ji Shuying nodded.
Pei Nanzhi looked curiously at the lantern spinning notes in the hall, and then at the number plates in everyone's hands.
While looking at it like this, Pei Nanzhi stretched out his hand to gently brush his hair, and then his bracelet was exposed from his clothes.
But, I don’t know if it’s a bracelet.
Because it is made up of seven or eight small dice strung together.
A man of letters and a famous scholar, wearing such a bracelet on his hand is a bit confusing.
On the other hand, Mu Xu looked at his worried junior sister, shook his head and said, "So what are you doing? What is that?"
Mu Xu also noticed the lantern carousel and was a little curious.
But I haven’t left yet.
However, Mu Xu saw that everyone in the hall stood up and looked at him, and immediately said: "So you just started looking at me again, like this and that, I, the Imperial Academy, offer wine, Is it so weird to be here? You people, it’s true!”
When Mu Xu finished these words.
Mu Xu heard a familiar voice.
"Master Jijiu, why are you standing here if you don't go in?"
Besides this voice, there is another one.
"Mu Xu, don't block the road."
