Shen Xitang was a little dissatisfied with the way he looked at Jiang Xun, and said coldly: "Exactly, why did you come back suddenly? How was your trip to the Western Regions?"
"Of course I came back with a full load." Qin Xufeng smiled.
Shen Xitang looked at Yan Shen, "Why is Prince Kang so interested in attending the treasure fighting party today?"
Yan Shen was dissatisfied with Shen Xitang because Shen Xitang snatched Jiang Xun from him that day. Later he learned that Shen Xitang had lied to him, and now he had a bad feeling, so his attitude was not friendly.
"Come and join in the fun."
"Prince Kang is not someone who likes to join in the fun."
"Some things were not the same in the past, but that doesn't mean they will always be the same in the future." Yan Shenruo stared at Jiang Xun thoughtfully.
Shen Xitang turned sideways, blocking his sight.
Other gentlemen from aristocratic families also gathered here.
"Xu Feng, you came to the Treasure Fighting Club just after you came back from Danmeiliu Kingdom. It seems that today's treasure is extraordinary."
"The treasure fighting event is held every three years, and the treasures produced there are not priceless..." Qin Xufeng relaxed his brows and smiled gracefully.
"There are only a handful of people in the entire Bianjing city who have been to the Danmeiliu Kingdom. Among us, you, Yan Dalang, are the most carefree and at ease."
"I'm not as good as you. I'm born to work hard. I can't rest all day long, so I have to walk around and look around." Qin Xufeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the land in Danmeiliu Country is barren and there is no millet or wheat. Where is the land? The people all eat fish and shrimp, boil the sea to make salt, brew sugarcane to make wine, and weave bamboo to make cloth.”
Seeing all the husbands talking around Qin Xufeng, Su Xun was a little curious, so he asked the people around him in a low voice, "Whose husband is that? Why have I never seen him before?"
Wei Mingyu looked at her and answered first: "That's the eldest son of the Qin family in Jiuru Lane. It's not surprising that you don't recognize him. He rarely attends gatherings in Beijing. He said he has been traveling to the small country of Fanyi in the past two years. , I just came back a few days ago.”
The Qin family is the natal family of the Queen Mother. The old man of the Qin family was the teacher of the late emperor. The grandfather of the current emperor assisted two emperors, so he was the most noble. Twenty years ago, the eldest son of the Qin family married the only daughter of the richest man in Zhejiang. Five years later, the two elders of the Qin family handed over all their wealth to their only daughter. Since then, the Qin family's business has grown bigger and bigger. In recent years, it has become second only to The Shen family is as famous as the Shen family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Especially this Qin Xu Feng, although he doesn't show up much, he is very famous. It is said that he can write poems at the age of seven. Traveling, I have been to many wild and barbaric places.
"I see, thank you Madam Wei for telling me." Su Xun thanked her in a low voice.
Wei Mingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, walked up to her intimately, took her hand, and complimented her on how well she dressed today.
Wei Mingyu has been locked up at home for several months since the last incident, and there have been frequent changes at home. Her arrogant and impulsive temperament has also been tempered much calmer, but her hatred for Jiang Xunde is getting deeper and deeper. , I just learned to hide my thoughts, and I am not as public as before. Now that the ban is finally lifted, I have tried my best to participate in this treasure fighting meeting. I just know that Shen Xitang will definitely come this time, and it is very possible. Jiang Xun will also come, and she also got news that Princess Qingjue is coming. .
She then made up her mind to take revenge for the previous fight.
When she saw Su Xun, a great plan was born in her mind.
…
"It's time, Manager Yang, should we start?" The person who spoke was Jiang Jiaerlang. His voice was full of joy and excitement, but no one thought he was too eager at this time. Everyone couldn't wait.
"Okay! It's still the old rule, rush to answer first, then fight. In this rush to answer, the first to answer wins. There are fifteen questions in the rush to answer, and only those who succeed in answering can advance to the next round. And in this fight,
'One person poses a question and the other answers, and points are scored for correct answers. Otherwise, points will be deducted for wrong answers or incorrect answers. The time limit is one hour, and the one with the most points is today's winner. "Shopkeeper Yang said it in detail, and all the smart people present understood it immediately.
The rules of this riddle are very clever. The first round of answering questions is very efficient to select up to fifteen winners. The second round allows the contestants to fight among themselves, which is more difficult. Moreover, the first round saves time, the second round saves effort, and Qibao Society saves the trouble of setting questions.
"In that case, let's ask Manager Yang to come up with the question." Qin Xufeng smiled gracefully.
Manager Yang bowed and said seriously: "Then Mr. Yang will start to ask questions."
Since it was a question-and-answer session, everyone was fully alert and waiting wholeheartedly for Manager Yang to pose the question.
Manager Yang took out a one-inch-tall statue of Xi Shi carved from beautiful jade and said with a smile, "This is the mystery."
Everyone stared at the statue for a long time, and someone whispered: "These three treasures are really not easy to get. The first question is so difficult."
Jiang Xun relaxed a little. In her opinion, guessing riddles is not difficult at all. She used to like to read some books on cryptic puzzles, and she has always been interested in solving riddles. She is not only good at guessing riddles, but also likes to formulate puzzles. Making up strange riddles to stump others is a trivial matter to her.
Jiang Xun said calmly: "The answer to the riddle is one word, win."
"Correct answer." Manager Yang was a little surprised. This first question was deliberately difficult. I thought it would take some time. Unexpectedly, someone came up with the answer in less than a cup of tea, and it was a stunningly beautiful woman. woman.
"Take it?" Some people were puzzled.
"So that's it. This statue is only one inch tall. Xishi is a beautiful woman. An inch beautiful girl is not just a word for winning."
Several men had also thought of the answer, but Jiang Xun said it first, and they couldn't help but pay more attention to her.
"I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so good at riddles." Yan Cong played with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile.
"Fourth Prince deserves the award." Jiang Xun said calmly.
Yan Cong's smile deepened and he glanced at Shen Xitang, who had a calm expression.
"Hmph, even a small skill is worth being proud of." Princess Qingjue snorted coldly, with an ugly look on her face, "Let me see how good you are and how many questions you can guess correctly. Since the first question already has the answer, Let’s ask the next question quickly.”
Manager Yang nodded in agreement, and then started to ask the second question, "Two shapes and two bodies, four branches and eight heads, four eight hundred and eighty, flying spring flowing upward. Type one word."
As soon as the mystery was revealed, someone revealed the answer in the blink of an eye.
"The answer is a tic-tac-toe." Shen Xitang said calmly.
This pace is too fast. It seems that we will really rush to answer next, everyone said.
The most relaxed person present was Manager Yang who came up with the question. While everyone was waiting with bated breath, he read out another puzzle, "The first line is the reopening of the sixties, plus the thirty-seventh year, and the second line is the ancient and rare double celebrations, and there are many One spring and autumn, guess the age of an old man."
This puzzle is different from the previous word puzzle. It tests arithmetic. Whoever can count faster will win.
"The answer is one hundred and forty-one years old. Sixty years is sixty years. Two sixties plus thirty-seven and twenty-one years old is one hundred and forty-one years old. Second line: An ancient seventy years is seventy years old. Two ancient seventies plus one year old, also Exactly one hundred and forty-one years old." This time it was Qin Xufeng who answered first.
The competition went on for a long time, and many people didn't even get a single question. They were all beaten by Jiang Xun, Shen Xitang, Qin Xufeng and Yan Cong. Especially Jiang Xun stood out among the many noble ladies, completely unsatisfied. He is inferior to the great talents present, which makes people marvel.
In the second round of the riddle, the rules changed to a melee. The answerer got one point for the correct answer and deducted one point for the wrong answer. In addition, if the questioner asks a question that no one can answer, the questioner will get fifteen points. If someone answers the question incorrectly, the questioner will get one point, and the person who answered the question correctly will deduct one point. There is a limit of one hour, and the one with the most points wins.
Manager Yang explained the scoring rules and then asked: "Who is willing to be the first question maker?"
According to such rules, you can only win by asking strange questions. If the question is too simple, the person who asked the question will keep deducting points.
Princess Qingjue said, "Since you are so good, why don't you be the one to pose the question? I'm just waiting to see if your riddle can stump us."
Everyone looked at Jiang Xun, waiting for her answer. Everyone thought she would refuse to agree, but unexpectedly she smiled and seemed very happy, "Okay, I'll give the question, but..."
Princess Qingjue sneered, thinking she was going to pretend to agree and then put forward conditions, "But what?"
"But ordinary puzzle solving is not fun. If you want to play, let's play puzzle against puzzle. If someone can solve my puzzle, I will deduct three points. If no one can solve my puzzle, I will still get fifteen points. What do you think? "Jiang Xun's eyebrows are picturesque, and his energetic appearance is particularly moving.
Everyone looked surprised, is she so confident
"You think too highly of yourself. Are you so sure that no one can solve the riddle you came up with? You can't regret it when you lose." Princess Qingjue felt that Jiang Xun was just trying to be limelight and attract attention, so her The tone was mocking.
"It's difficult to play riddle against riddle, but if we can't answer it, you have to tell us the answer to the riddle, otherwise you'll be considered a loser." Yan Cong said with a smile.
Jiang Xun, however, said indifferently: "Is there any objection?"
Although Jiang Xun's request increased the difficulty a lot, if someone answered the riddle, he would get three points, and Jiang Xun could deduct three points. On the other hand, if no one could answer the riddle, Jiang Xun would only get fifteen points. What's the point? Instead of
And everyone also wants to see what kind of problems she can come up with so that no one can think of the right riddle.
"Then let's come up with a question." Qin Xufeng said with great interest.
"Yes, since you are sure, come up with a question and see." Everyone agreed.
Jiang Xun said softly: "Lu Banxiu of the Yellow Crane Ancient Tower, Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass were stolen. Let him go by riding a dragon and a crane. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea and took their own rest. Type a word."
As soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.
A full quarter of an hour passed. Except for Shen Xitang who showed a faint smile, everyone else was still thinking hard.
"Within half a quarter of an hour, if no one can answer the question, Miss Jiang will score." Manager Yang said.
After a while, there was still no one speaking. Manager Yang said to Jiang Xun, "Young lady is really powerful. Since no one can solve this mystery, please tell me the answer."
"The puzzle is: not on top, but on bottom, at both ends, stuck in the middle."
"The answer is the word '一'?" Qin Xufeng asked.
"Yes, exactly." Jiang Xun was not proud, but nodded lightly.
"Please ask the next question." Qin Xufeng also stopped talking and laughing and became serious.
Jiang Xun secretly laughed in his heart, and asked several more difficult questions one after another, but still stumped everyone. Jiang Xun thought to himself, this is the most tricky question I have ever seen in an isolated book of miscellaneous talks in modern times. Now it is used in This couldn't be a better place.
Jiang Xun scored many points in a row, and when her match point was about to reach, Princess Qingjue suddenly said, "I'm not coming, I'm not coming, I'm going to take a rest first. I've been talking for so long without even a glass of water, Qibao." Did the company charge you like this?"
Everyone could see that she deliberately made trouble for the king, but as a princess, no one could say anything. Even the princes and princes could only talk about her in private, and it was not easy to shame her in front of so many people.
She said she wanted to drink tea, so Manager Yang took everyone to the flower hall next door to have tea and snacks.
After resting for about two quarters of an hour, Manager Yang came over to greet everyone to continue the riddle game. Unexpectedly, as soon as Princess Qingjue stood up, she suddenly laughed loudly, shouted and made noise, and even made many indecent moves. , everyone was shocked and looked at her in astonishment.
