idle king

Chapter 45
Of course, there are also people with a clear mind who have seen some clues.

At any rate, the Qin family sent a butler to give gifts, which was considered as a way to save face.On the other hand, Shen Ze just sent a servant to give gifts at will. It can be seen from the side that the attitude of Shen Fu towards Ye Chu is not that important.

I borrowed a few taels of silver from Xiaochan and handed it to someone from the Shen Mansion, treating it as money for the trip.Then after politely seeing them off, Ye You said again: "It's less than a quarter of an hour before the official opening. If you are interested, you can guess the lantern riddles. Those who guess correctly will get the corresponding lanterns. If you answer correctly in a row, you can guess the lantern riddles. For orders of ten or more, a single set meal will be provided free of charge.”

As soon as Ye Chu finished speaking, those who could read went back to the lantern stand and began to choose lantern riddles they thought were simple to solve.No matter what, if it's free, someone will take the bait.

"The peacock flies southeast?"

"When a bird falls from the top of the mountain, there is nowhere to find its feet, and there is nowhere to find water everywhere."

"Own."

"Let's say goodbye and let go of the past."

But what makes these people depressed is that they looked at several questions in a row, but they couldn't answer any of them. Especially when they saw many illiterate farmers joining in the fun nearby, looking at themselves and others eagerly, it made them a little confused. .Alas, the books I have read in the past few years have been in vain.

As the crowd gathered more and more, more and more people guessed lantern riddles.After a while, the shelf of the lantern riddles was completely surrounded.Those who can read are fine, but those who can't read, when they hear someone reading the lantern riddles, they also gather around and try their luck, maybe they can come out by themselves.

At this moment, a group of students dressed as scholars came out of the crowd.I saw that these people were dressed in expensive clothes, and they looked like young masters from wealthy families.After seeing these people, many people gave way one after another, with obsequious smiles on their faces.

"It turned out to be Young Master Liu from Tianxiang Tower. Why did he come? Hey, I heard that this Young Master Liu was going to forcibly occupy Zuixiao Tower before. But unexpectedly, he didn't succeed in the end."

"Look at the people around Young Master Liu, they seem to be some well-known talents in Jinling."

"Well, yes, I know one of them, and it's Li Muzhi."

"Hehe, it is said that colleagues are enemies, and there will be a good show in a while." Many people in the crowd discussed in low voices.

"Haha, I heard that brother Ye is opening today. As an elder brother, why don't you come to congratulate him in person." Liu Zheng walked up to Ye Chu with a smile on his face, and laughed loudly.

"Brother Liu is here today, I am very grateful. Hehe, please come inside." Anyone who can come is a guest, and he will not slap the smiling face. Although he knows that Liu Zheng's visit today is not just a simple congratulations, but Ye Yu Still greeted politely.

Hmph, I almost didn't ruin everything I arranged last night, and today I can come here to congratulate you as if I didn't do anything. Not only that, but I also came empty-handed. I'm afraid this person has some skills.

Similarly, Liu Zheng also looked at Ye Yu with admiration in his heart.What happened last night was indeed arranged by him. From his point of view, the other party has probably guessed that he did it, but he can still chat and laugh with him. This kind of forbearance is absolutely extraordinary.

"Brother Ye was joking, you see so many people are outside, why do you have the nerve to break the rules and go in first?" Liu Zheng said with a righteous look, pointing to a few students around him, and said, " To be honest, my friends are also very interested in those lantern riddles."

Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Ye Yu frowned secretly, but kept a smile on his face: "Oh, hehe, if that's the case, then please take care of yourself."

As he spoke, he glanced at a group of these people, and found a figure familiar to them.However, since the man was not facing him, he didn't recognize him.

He faintly felt that these people should be here to make trouble, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do.

Watching several friends go to guess the lantern riddles, Liu Zheng showed an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Hmph, isn't it free for ten guesses? Today I will let you know that you are not the only talented person in Jinling.

As those talented scholars walked over, soon, bursts of exclamation erupted from the crowd.After a while, someone took a lantern to find the person in charge of supervising lantern riddles.

One, two... just now no one could answer, and in less than a moment, twenty or so lanterns had already been taken away.

Ye Chu didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a while, when the one hundred ordinary lanterns in the first row were completely removed, he finally felt something was wrong.

These lantern riddles are all carefully selected by him. Although the first row is only anagrams, the difficulty is not great, but it is by no means that all of them can be guessed so quickly.

"Hehe, I underestimated the abilities of you people. However, the lantern riddles in the second row can't just be guessed." Ye Yu glanced at the corner of his mouth.

He has already seen that these people brought by Liu Zheng will not pick up the lanterns himself, but pretend to be uncertain and give the answer. Guessed it, but didn't take off the lantern with his own hands, and immediately realized what it was, so many people didn't care about thanking them, so they grabbed the lantern directly, and then went to find someone to solve the mystery.

However, because there were too many people robbing the lanterns, no one answered ten questions in a row.

"Brother Ye, it seems that the lantern riddles you came up with are a bit simple." On the side, Liu Zheng said with a hint of teasing at the corner of his mouth.

"Well, the first row was originally just for you to warm up. The real fun is yet to come. If Brother Liu is interested, you can also try it." Ye Yu replied lightly.

Hearing this, Liu Zheng snorted disdainfully, and said with a smirk: "Brother is better at pairing pairs. Let's forget about this kind of lantern riddle."

"That's such a coincidence, I just prepared some pairs, and we can play later." A smile flashed in Ye Chu's eyes.

"Hehe, brother Ye really knows how to joke, hehe..." Liu Zheng really wanted to slap himself, pretending to be nothing, what level he was, and didn't he have a B number in mind.

That's why they didn't talk speculatively for half a sentence. After the awkward chat between the two of them was over, they stopped talking.

Sure enough, as Ye Chu expected, when it came to the second row of lantern riddles, the speed of these people slowed down significantly.I saw everyone frowning tightly, pacing back and forth with a sad face.

"Mystery against mystery? This..."

"The difficulty is here, like this. 'Drawing time is round, writing time is square, winter time is short, summer time is long.' I have already guessed that the answer to the riddle is the day. But for a while, I can't think of how to use the same method. answer."

A student shook his head and sighed.
