Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 63 Pretty Maid
The servant's explanation was very clear. The system of one person, one vote was implemented here. If Li Yi wanted to take Xiaohuan in, he had to guess another riddle.
The silver matter was important, so he naturally couldn't break other people's rules.
Li Yi walked back to the front of the lanterns. There seemed to be an invisible aura around him, and the people who were surrounding him made way.
"The black dragon climbed the wall, covered with thousands of golden stars."
Apart from this sentence, there was still no explanation. Everyone guessed for a long time, but they couldn't guess the answer.
At this time, almost everyone looked at Li Yi.
Of course, more people were in a mentality of watching a joke.
The first time might be a coincidence. Will he have the same good luck the second time?
After a moment, Li Yi spoke again: "The answer to this riddle is "beam balance."
With the ancient and modern riddles in hand, what riddles can't he guess?
"Congratulations, sir! Now you can take this girl in." The servant's next move proved that Li Yi gave the correct answer.
After Li Yi spoke, a few people showed confusion on their faces, and soon they realized it.
"So that's it!"
"Comparing the scale bar to a black dragon, the "scale star" is a thousand golden stars!"
"Ashamed, ashamed, I thought I was well-read, but I didn't even understand two small riddles, I'm so ashamed!"

In fact, guessing riddles, to a certain extent, has nothing to do with good writing skills or profound knowledge.
It just relies on a flash of quick wit, or a cheating device like Li Yi.
The guy who doesn't even set a range for guessing riddles, and only has a sentence there for people to guess blindly, is not a good guy, I'm afraid he intends to deliberately make things difficult for people.
At this time, the eyes of the people around him looking at Li Yi have changed in some way.
Guessing one may be a guess, but the second one can be guessed so easily, the possibility of a blind guess is not great.
It can only mean that the handsome scholar in front of them is probably quite capable...
Soon, Li Yi proved to them with his actions how correct these people's thoughts were.
He had been planning to take Xiao Huan in, but when he saw the two scholars who had just introduced him enthusiastically, he felt that it was a bit impolite to leave like this, so he walked over and said to them with a smile: "Brothers, why don't you go in together?"
The two men were stunned, and before they could come to their senses, Li Yi had already walked to the only two remaining lanterns, looked up, and read: "The bright moon is half under the clouds, and the withered flowers are falling in front of the horse's hooves... The answer to this lantern riddle... should be a "bear" character..."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with a look of looking at a monster. How could they tell that this was a "bear" character!
There is absolutely no connection!
Li Yi did not stop because of the crowd's uproar. His sight was already on the last lantern. Not long after, he spoke again: "Two rows of distant trees stand sideways on the mountain, a small boat floats horizontally... This is also a riddle, and the answer is "hui"."
No one was talking around, and the eyes looking at him showed a strange look.
It is undeniable that he guessed the first two riddles, but what did he guess about the last two?
The moon is half under the clouds, and the withered flowers fall in front of the horse's hooves------Does this poem have anything to do with the word "bear"?
Two rows of distant trees stand sideways on the mountain, and a small boat floats horizontally------How did he know that this was a "hui" word!
However, when everyone glanced at the boy standing there blankly, the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost, and their expressions gradually changed.
No way------he really guessed it right?
"Please... please!"
It was unknown how long it took before the servant came back to his senses. He swallowed his saliva involuntarily and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Li Yi and the other four.
He knew better than anyone that these riddles were just gimmicks made by those people to attract others. Without any hints, no one would guess them.
But the fact is...
These extremely difficult riddles were all swept away by the scholar in front of him.
It would be fine if he could only solve one riddle, but he had to solve all the riddles. This was clearly ruining the scene!
However, with so many people watching, he naturally couldn't say anything to regret. Even though he was shocked in his heart, he still respectfully invited Li Yi and others to come in.
At this time, those who had worked hard to guess the riddles for a long time could no longer describe what they felt in their hearts.
He actually guessed them all!
He only thought about each riddle for a few breaths?
In comparison, what did they do in such a long time just now!
Moreover, if it were an ordinary person, guessing one would be enough, and guessing two would be forgiven, but why did you guess so many, occupying all the places, and leaving no way for others to live!
Seeing the four scholars entering the restaurant, everyone looked at the lantern that had been taken down by the servant, which also meant that they would never have a chance to enter again, and they were immediately in tears...
At this time, Li Yi Xiaohuan and the two scholars who had not yet recovered had already entered the restaurant.
"Thank you, brother!"
After they came to their senses, they immediately clasped their fists to thank Li Yi.
In addition to the poetry societies participating in the competition, other people of the same kind were naturally invited to the restaurant today. After all, there has been no first place in literature since ancient times. If there were only people from the poetry societies, I'm afraid no one would admit defeat to anyone else, and there would be no debate tomorrow about who is better. These invited people will evaluate the poems and essays written today to determine the winner.
If it weren't for Li Yi, the two of them would not have been qualified to enter here at all.
These scholars always thanked each other, without any meaning. After Li Yi waved his hand, he began to look at the situation in front of him.
The space in this restaurant was much larger than he had imagined. There were about dozens of people in the lobby on the first floor alone. As for the upstairs, there were also people gathering. It was very spacious to accommodate so many people.
On the table next to it, there were some snacks such as fruits, vegetables and cakes, which looked quite exquisite and could be used as dessert after the meal.
Just when Li Yi was about to try a piece of fruit and vegetable first, a few steps away, a beautiful woman spread out the square towel in her hand and distributed the exquisite pastries on it to several women beside her. Li Yi sniffed, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked over following the fragrance.
"The service here is quite thoughtful. A maid is so beautiful... Hey, the pastries in her hand look delicious..." Li Yi sighed in surprise, and then walked over quickly.
There were only a few pieces of pastries. After being divided by those women, there were only two pieces left. Li Yi was afraid that if he went too late, even the last two pieces would be snatched away by others. He quickened his pace again, walked to the pretty maid, and stretched out his hand like those women.
Looking at the slender white palm that suddenly appeared in front of her, the expression on the pretty maid's pretty face was slightly startled, and she looked up at Li Yi with a look of confusion.
At the same time, the faces of the women around her also showed astonishment.
…
…
“That brother, did you recognize Miss Wan?”
Not far away, the two scholars brought in by Li Yi looked at each other and murmured.
