It is precisely because of the mystery that more and more people want to guess this lantern riddle.
"Ning'er, how about we guess this lamp?"
Chu Shaobai happily pulled Shen Ning to the four-screen lamp to read the lantern riddles on it.
"Hey, this is a couplet question," he read word by word: "The first couplet is: white is not, black is not, red and yellow are not, they are like jackals, cats and dogs, neither domestic animals nor wild beasts. "
After a pause, he continued to recite the second couplet: "There are also poems, lyrics, and books of rites. It is vague about east, west, north, and south. Although it is a short article, it is a wonderful article. Each of the upper and lower couplets has a word."
After reading it, he couldn't help but frown like the people around him.
He originally thought that with his intelligence, he could guess the riddle easily and win the mysterious gift for her. However, he did not expect that the riddle turned out to be more difficult than he expected.
He even guessed several words in his mind, but felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but become frustrated.
When he raised his eyes, he met her slightly smiling eyes.
"Ning'er, could you have guessed it?"
Shen Ning smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess."
Several literati around her suddenly took a breath of air and stared at her with wide eyes.
"I mean, little girl, you may not be very young, but your tone of voice is quite impressive. So many of us haven't guessed it yet, but you say it's not difficult?"
"Hmph, it doesn't hurt to stand and talk. Since you said this lantern riddle is not difficult, what do you think the answer is?"
Several people were very unconvinced and ridiculed Shen Ning.
Chu Shaobai's eyes suddenly showed anger, and he said coldly: "You sour scholars, you have no ability, how do you know that others don't have the ability? You only know how to be jealous, no wonder you have a big beard and are still wearing white clothes and can't wear purple robes!" "
The people who said the weird things were indeed quite young, and they were wearing the white clothes of a scholar. They were originally complacent about their status, but they were severely slapped in the face by Chu Shaobai's words.
Several people became angry and pointed at Chu Shaobai and said: "You bastard, don't protect that girl. She dares to brag. Then let her tell the answer to the riddle, so that we, the sour scholars, can see the talent of this little girl." Talent!”
Shen Ning flattened her mouth and said disapprovingly: "It's just guessing a lantern riddle. It's not a big skill. Even if you give me the top prize, I won't care."
She didn't have a good impression of these old scholars either. They spoke in sour voices, were narrow-minded, and had no tolerance for others. No wonder they failed in every test. If she were the examiner, she would never admit such students. .
Hearing this, everyone around looked at her and their jaws dropped.
This little girl's tone is really getting crazier as she talks!
A waiter smiled and said to Shen Ning: "Girl, if you guess the answer to this lantern riddle, please write it on this piece of paper and let the villain take it to the owner of this lantern to see. If If you guessed correctly, congratulations to the girl."
His expression clearly showed that he didn't believe that Shen Ning could guess the lantern riddles correctly.
Shen Ning smiled and nodded, wrote two words on a piece of paper and handed it to the guy.
The guy held the writing paper and quickly squeezed out of the crowd, went up to the high platform, said something to an old man who looked like an outsider on the high platform, and then handed Shen Ning the answer to the riddle.
Shen Ning stood under the stage and looked up, and saw that the old man was dressed in rich clothes. He must be the owner of this lantern riddle contest.
