Chapter 4467: Rescue
Over there, the gameplay has begun.
Perform the drinking orders, write lyrics, guess charades, compose poems...
According to the order, one by one, starting with the drinking orders.
Fine wines were served one jar after another, and delicacies were placed on the small table in front of everyone. The pretty twenty-eight-year-old girl came to serve every invited guest in person.
Next to Yang Ruoqing, there was naturally one.
"Sir, my servant will pick up the dishes and pour the wine for you!" the girl said softly, with unmistakable admiration in her eyes.
If it weren’t for the two mustaches, Yang Ruoqing would still be very confident in her appearance. But as soon as the two mustaches were put on, Yang Ruoqing felt that she suddenly looked a bit like Shen Gongbao, with every beard showing through. Even though she is so vulgar, do you still admire this girl? The taste is not light.
"Girl, no need." Yang Ruoqing waved her hands hurriedly.
The girl was puzzled and refused to leave.
Yang Ruoqing blinked at the girl and said in a low voice: "Then sit farther away from me. There is a tigress at home, you know."
The girl suddenly understood and sat back knowingly. some distance.
In front, the drinking party reached its climax, and the cheers continued.
Yang Ruoqing was sipping her wine while her eyes were as sharp as a hunter's as she scanned the people in front of her, as if they were all prey.
After the drinking order, the quiz session started.
There are endless puzzles for guessing words, guessing objects, and all kinds of tricky puzzles.
All the students were gearing up and eager to give it a try. The prize was really tempting. It was a bluestone inkstone from Jinan County and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study Room.
Yang Ruoqing noticed that the scholar in white did not participate in the drinking orders and lyrics. When it came time to guess the riddles, he showed some interest.
This interest was immediately noticed by the scholar in purple, who took the initiative to send a pair of bamboo sticks to the scholar in white: "Brother Bai, I have heard for a long time that you guessed at the Lantern Festival when you were ten years old. The lantern riddles won the first prize. Tonight happens to be the riddle guessing project. Can Brother Bai have any chance? Show your interest to me and open your eyes?"
The scholar in white glanced at the scholar in purple and smiled disdainfully, "Guessing a riddle? I haven't played this game for several years. It's rare for me to get up tonight. It doesn’t hurt to have a handful!”
Mr. Ziyi's face was filled with joy, and he hurriedly turned around and ordered the book boy behind him to serve him with pen and ink.
The boy spread the paper in front of the scholar in white and prepared the pen and ink.
Here, the scholar in purple brought the bamboo tube with bamboo sticks to the scholar in white, shook it slightly, and made a 'please' gesture with a smile.
The scholar in white casually took one out.
"Brother Bai, please give me a face and let me read the questions?" The scholar in purple said with a smile.
The scholar in white raised his eyebrows and handed the bamboo stick to the scholar in purple.
The scholar in purple raised the bamboo stick and read aloud: "A man is lying in the grass with a bow, please type a word."
Everyone below was thinking, and Yang Ruoqing was also holding it. His chin began to ponder.
Um...
Sorry, she has no talent in this area.
The scholar in white had already picked up the brush, brushed a few strokes on the paper in front of him, and then put down the brush again.
The scholar in purple curiously picked up the piece of paper with the answer to the riddle and read out: "荑!"
Underneath, everyone nodded.
Yang Ruoqing also raised her head to look at the word, eh, not to mention, if you break the word apart, it really does mean that someone has the prefix of bow and grass, which is very appropriate!
"Brother Bai is great. Three rounds are not completed, please draw more questions." The scholar in purple said with a smile, and then sent the bamboo tube to the scholar in white.
Although he smiled enthusiastically and his words were complimentary, Yang Ruoqing never felt that the purple-clothed scholar did not come from his heart. Behind this bright and enthusiastic smile, there were hidden thoughts called 'lifting him up and stepping on him'.
Not a good bird!
Yang Ruoqing shook her head secretly. Over there, the scholar in white seemed very confident in guessing riddles, and he casually picked up another bamboo stick and handed it to the scholar in purple.
“The sun sets in the west and the moon hangs in the east.”
As soon as the scholar in purple finished reading, the scholar in white took up his pen and wrote a big word "明" on the paper.
Underneath, everyone cheered again.
Next, the third question.
"It's not ventilated on all sides, and it's bitingly cold inside. Brother Bai, please write your answer." The purple-clothed scholar said.
This round, the scholar in white was slightly hesitant.
There were also whispers below, and the literati had different expressions and were thinking in various ways.
This time, Yang Ruoqing blinked her eyes. She had heard this puzzle before.
During the Lantern Festival, she, Daan and Mu Zichuan had dinner and drinks together, and they played this.
"Brother Bai, why didn't you write the answer to the riddle? We are still waiting for you to reveal the answer for us!"
The scholar in purple said politely.
The scholar in white frowned slightly.
An imperceptible smile flashed across the lips of the purple-clothed scholar, and he turned to face the others: "Brother Bai is stingy with teachings. I wonder if anyone here can reveal the answer to the mystery? Double the winnings!"
Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Many people raised their hands to respond, but unfortunately, no one answered correctly.
Looking back to the scholar in white, the scholar in purple said: "Brother Bai, this has come full circle, and no one has been able to solve the mystery. If Brother Bai knows the answer, please help us solve it. !”
The scholar in white looked up at the scholar in purple who was smiling but not smiling, and then realized that he seemed to have jumped into the pit dug by the scholar in purple.
Just give up and admit defeat?
It’s such a shame.
Looking for foreign aid?
The scholar in white glanced around. This group of self-righteous literati, to put it bluntly, are all mediocre people who follow the crowd...
"Brother Bai."
A clear voice came.
In an inconspicuous corner diagonally opposite, I saw a young scholar wearing blue clothes, with a fair face, a handsome face, and two distinctive eyebrows, stood up, and was looking at me with a smile.
"Brother Bai, you used this riddle to test me last time when we were having a drink. I couldn't answer it at the time. After I went back, I pondered hard for several days before I figured out the word. Could it be that you are reluctant to announce the mystery today because you are afraid that if I hear it, I will use it to fulfill my bet and ask you to buy me a drink?" the scholar in Tsing Yi asked with a slight smile.
The scholar in white was stunned.
The scholar in Tsing Yi in front of me looks very unfamiliar, and I don’t even remember that I had made a bet, had a drink, or solved puzzles with this person.
But while this person was speaking, he quietly blinked in his direction. Was it his own illusion? Is there a bit of cunning in this person's eyes?
However, his eyes were bright and clear, with good intentions, as if he had come to rescue him.
Brother Bai, the scholar, had an inexplicable impulse and planned to take a gamble.
"Why do you need to expose my thoughts? If you see through it without telling me, you are still a good friend." The scholar in white also smiled lightly, and raised the wine cup in front of him and raised it to the scholar in green.
The scholar in green smiled brightly, turned to the scholar in purple, raised his hands and performed a standard literati salute.
"Mr. Hang, this question is about a bet between me and Brother Bai last time. I wonder if I can tell you my answer today so that Brother Bai can verify it. I can also ask all the talented people here to testify for me. , lest Brother Bai cheat and not give me the wine, okay?" The scholar in Tsing Yi smiled and asked the scholar in purple for advice.
