Excellent word for dismantling one hand
The examiner glanced at it and said the first sentence: "The time limit is ten breaths, and the answer cannot be modified."
Nangong Jingnu looked at the blank piece of paper in the examiner's hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed! The answer to the mystery turned out to be the name of the maid next to the second sister, who blindly used traditional Chinese medicine: Baizhi.
When the words fell, a small number of people wrote down their answers on paper, and most of them were still thinking hard.
Nangong Jingnu nervously looked at Qi Yan, who was calm but had not yet started writing, and could not wait to rush to the stage to write the answer for her.
After three breaths, half of the people wrote down their answers.
After five breaths, most of the people took their pens and wrote down their answers. Qi Yan glanced at the audience, as if searching for something.
After eight breaths, even the clueless person wrote down his answer, and Qi Yan moved his pen.
"Time is up! The answer is a Chinese herbal medicine: Angelica dahurica. It is easy to miscalculate if you have the same pronunciation and different words. Please step down and fight again next year."
The crowd suddenly realized that some people praised the wonderfulness of this lantern riddle, and some people thought it was nonsense.
Half of the dozens of people left with hatred, and the arena suddenly became empty.
Nangong Jingnv smiled happily when she saw that Qi Yan had answered correctly.
The examiner lifted the red silk covering the tray, and there were neatly hanging copper coins on it.
"Congratulations, you can take the bonus from the first level and leave, and you can continue to pass the level. The reward for the next level is one tael of silver."
Half of the remaining forty people walked to the table, each took a coin and left the ring.
Through this blank piece of paper, they have already experienced the profound heritage of Tingyulou. The first level is just a small test, and the level after that is not difficult to imagine. Although it is not much money, it is enough to eat at roadside stalls.
Moreover, it was exchanged for a penny, so leaving is a wise choice.
In a blink of an eye, there were only more than 20 people left in the arena. A few people saw so many people leaving, so they slowly moved out of the team, went to the table and took the bounty and left.
The middle-aged man beside Nangong Jingnv said again, "You see, young master? This is the first level, and there are more people on the stage than in previous years."
The examiner's gaze swept across the twenty-one people on the stage, and said loudly, "Is there anyone else who will take the bounty, gentlemen?"
No one is listed.
The old man raised his right hand: "Please go to the next time."
Twenty-one people climbed the steps and came to the second level.
The guy handed out charcoal and paper again. The examiner in the second round opened the long box on the table in person. The two guys took out two scrolls from it, raised them above their heads, and released their hands.
The scroll unfolded, and the words "Long Fei Feng Wu" came into view, which was actually a couplet.
The first couplet is: black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; like jackals, cats and dogs, they are neither domestic animals nor wild animals.
The second couplet is: there are also poems, there are also words, and there are also in the Analects of Confucius; it is vague about east, west, north and south, although it is short, it is also a wonderful text.
The examiner stood with his hands up and said, "Fifteen breaths in the time limit, let's start."
There was a commotion under the stage: "This is too difficult? Not even giving the range?"
"If you don't give the scope, you should explain that it is the answer to a few words, right?"
"Who wrote this letter? It's a masterpiece!"
And those who got off the ring with copper coins saw this pair of lantern riddles, and they all rejoiced at their decision.
Tingyulou really lives up to its reputation! This is only the second level!
This time, even Nangong Jingnu was stumped. The two pairs were neither split, nor flattened, and the examiner didn't even give any clues, even if the answer was a few words...
After ten breaths, only one person picked up the pen, but it wasn't Qi Yan.
A scholar of the same age as Qi Yan, saw that he confidently wrote the answer on the paper and then stood with his hands behind his back, smiling and confident.
Nangong Jingnu bit her lip and looked at Qi Yan nervously.
When the examiner started the countdown, Qi Yan started writing...
"Time's up! The answer is the word 'guessing'. It is easy to make mistakes with different words with the same pronunciation. Please get off the stage if you answer wrong."
All the spectators in the audience suddenly realized, isn't it just 'guessing'
Black is not, white is not, and red and yellow are not; like jackals, cats and dogs, they are neither domestic animals nor wild beasts, and plausibility is guesswork.
There are also poems, words, and the Analects of Confucius; it is vague about east, west, north and south, although it is a short article, it is also a wonderful prose, and it is a mystery everywhere!
"How wonderful!"
"It's too difficult, isn't it?"
"What are you yelling for? You can't answer it, aren't there four more people on stage?"
The examiner checked the answers of the four and nodded: "Congratulations, the four guest officers can take the bonus from this level and leave, or they can continue to pass the level. The reward for the next level is 12 taels of silver."
As soon as the words fell, two of them quickly walked to the table, took the bounty, bowed their hands to the examiner, and walked off the ring.
At the end of the second stage, only the scholar Qi Yan and Shicai were left on the stage.
The man bowed his hands to Qiyan: "Brother, good knowledge, in Xiagufeng, Jizhou people, Xiaozi Chunshu."
Qi Yan's heart moved: Gu Feng? Could it be the third place in Jizhou Prefecture in the Autumn Township Test
"Brother Haruki is wrong."
Gu Feng was displeased, and he took the initiative to report his name, but the other party did not respond, clearly looking down on himself!
Immediately snorted coldly and raised his hand: "This brother is invited."
Qi Yan also raised her hand: "Brother Chunshu, please first."
Gu Feng was not polite, walked in front of Qi Yan, and the two of them got into the third fight.
The spectators in the audience said excitedly: "This year, two people have reached the third fight! Maybe they can win a hundred taels of silver!"
"I think it's possible."
"Not necessarily? Everyone in the capital knows how difficult the last two rounds of Tingyulou are!"
"That is to say, didn't some people make it to the third team last year, and didn't they lose in the end?"
…
The examiner saw that two people broke into him this year, and stroked his beard: "You two young masters are very knowledgeable."
Qi Yan bowed and saluted: "The old gentleman is too honorable."
Gu Feng also cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to do it."
The examiner said again: "This third round not only has to come up with the answer, but also how to solve the problem. Do the two young masters understand?"
The two said in unison, "Understood."
The examiner clapped their hands, and the two guys joined forces to hold a long box and unfold the scroll inside. After a brief silence, the crowd stirred up a commotion again.
"This is… "
"what is this?"
"My God, it's just a lantern riddle array. Does Tingyulou want such a big battle?"
Nangong Jingnu looked at the scroll in the man's hand, her pupils shrank, and she murmured, "The Monument of Dutiful Daughter Cao'e? Tubing..."
The middle-aged man on the side asked curiously, "Young master knows this post?"
Nangong Jingnu nodded and said, "I'm fortunate enough to have seen it once." More than that? The real work is in the Palace of Princess Zhen Zhen!
This rubbing is titled: "The Stele of Dutiful Daughter Cao E". According to legend, there was a filial daughter named Cao E during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because of her filial piety, the local people wrote articles for her monument. When Cai Yong traveled in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he heard the story of Cao E and was deeply moved.
This sticker, written by Cai Yong, is hidden in the palace. She remembered that when she was ten years old, her father had a long-term cough. She saw in a miscellaneous book that boiled pears had the effect of relieving cough, so she picked the pears in Weiyang. Gong set up a small stove, and with the help of Chuntao and Qiuju boiled a bowl of pear pulp and brought it to the father.
Although it is not surprising that the rubbing of "The Monument of Filial Daughter Cao'e" appears in the folk, Nangong Jingnu really can't think of any mystery hidden in it.
The examiner pondered for a moment and said, "This old man dared to make an exception today, and the answer is hidden in this post. The answer is four words... One stick of incense for a limited time."
Who knows, Gu Feng took a step forward as soon as the voice fell: "No need, the student has the answer." After speaking, he turned to look at Qi Yan.
Nangong Jingnu's heart tightened and she stared at Qi Yan intently. I saw the latter lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "The students also have the answer."
After this, the audience was completely fried, and there were discussions.
I don't know who made a "shh", and the crowd fell silent. Looking at the two on stage with full of doubts and expectations...
Gu Feng hooked the corners of his mouth: "If that's the case, let me tell you the answer, this brother. How about it?"
Facing the opponent's provocative gaze, Qi Yan smiled lightly: "Quan listens to the arrangement of the old gentleman."
The examiner nodded: "If you want to get an answer to this question, you must break the question. If the two young masters have no objection, it is not impossible."
Gu Feng chuckled lightly, stepped forward and said loudly, "Excellent speech."
The examiner sighed in admiration: "Young master's answer is good."
The spectators below the stage let out a burst of exclamation, and then turned their attention to Qi Yan, wanting to hear how this mystery was derived.
Gu Feng made a gesture of invitation: "This brother, please."
Qi Yan nodded, first bowed respectfully to the examiner, and then turned around and bowed to the audience below the stage.
The two on stage were of the same age, and together they reached the third level and got the answer at the same time.
But compared to Gu Feng's sharp-edgedness, Qi Yan, who is gentle and courteous, can make people feel more favorable. Even Nangong Jingnu couldn't help but raised her chin proudly, thinking to herself: Even if you are arrogant and arrogant, it is understandable, but those who are full of knowledge and self-restraint are the most valuable! What's so great about Gu Feng? Qi Yan is still "two yuan and one flower"!
Humph.
Qi Yan explained: "Students are not talented, and I was fortunate enough to see this monument when I was traveling. The name of this monument is: "Cao E monument", Cao E was a filial daughter in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cai Yong, a master in the later Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote this monument. down, and named it "The Monument of Dutiful Daughter Cao E". Mr. Cai Yong left a note of "young silk young woman, grandson Jiujiu". And the answer to this question is hidden in these eight characters, which is a wonderful demolition of the characters. lantern riddles."
The examiner stroked his beard: "Not bad."
The audience shouted: "What kind of mystery is hidden in these eight characters, sir, please explain it!"
"The young lady of yellow silk, the grandson Jiujiu. How did you break it down into 'excellent good speech', sir, can you tell me?"
"That's right."
"We are all ears!"
Qi Yan turned her head to look at the examiner, and when she saw the other person nodding in agreement, she bowed her hands to the audience: "In this case, the students will take the courage to remove one or two."
"Yellow silk is a kind of colored silk. It takes the radical of the word 'silk' and combines with 'color' to form the word "jue". A "young woman" is a 'girl', and the combination is the word "miao". The grandson As the son of a woman, the combination of 'women' is the word for "good". "彑" is mashed ginger and garlic, and "Jujiu" is a container for smashing ginger and garlic, and it is also a "vessel of receiving Xin". The words are combined into one word for 'ci'. Therefore, the yellow silk young woman, grandson Jiujiu, the eight characters are divided into: wonderful and good speech."
