Chapter 55: Lantern Festival (Medium)


"Shut up and just laugh, well, the riddle of this lantern riddle is the word Ha laughing."

"There are two remnants of flowers by the pond in front of the hall, suggesting that the riddle is a solar term, that is, 'Xiaoman'" "I know that there are people behind me; Why did you go out to show you the way?

The mystery is the lantern. ” …… King Qi is really powerful, guessing the riddle while walking, and almost didn't guess it, Zhen Jian and Gai Tong were dumbfounded, Gai Tong originally wanted to participate in guessing the riddle, but now he feels that it is actually very good to watch King Qi guess the riddle.

King Qi seems to have changed a person when he guesses the riddle, his words and deeds have become comfortable and free, perhaps, this is who he used to be, although King Qi has not completely lost his memory, but his previous memory is very vague, looking at the high-spirited King Qi, Zhen Jian suddenly sighed, the former King of Qi, I don't know what it was like, looking at his radiant appearance when he guessed the riddle, I really want him to keep it all the time.

But Zhen Jian thought about it again, maybe the previous King Qi had a bad temper, like other powerful children, his eyes were on his head, so could he still get to know King Qi?

In fact, although King Qi did not have eyes on his head before, but his temper was really not good, that year his mother died of sudden illness, he was very sad in his heart, and then he fell and injured his head, although he escaped, but after waking up, he was confused, and it took half a year to recuperate before his speech was normal, and his memory of the previous part has been blurred, and his temper has changed greatly, as if he has changed a person.

Zhen Jian is studying medicine, he thinks that King Qi may suffer from selective amnesia plus concussion, selective amnesia is subconsciously because he wants to forget some sad things, and then due to some special experiences, such as a violent impact on the head, certain conditions are reached, and then some previous unhappy memories are forgotten, whether it is concussion or selective amnesia, it may affect a person's temperament and IQ, and King Qi's symptoms are very similar.

Just when Zhen Jian was secretly thinking about these things, a yin and yang weird laughter suddenly came: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you also guess the lantern riddle?"

” Zhen Jian felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan was followed by two servants, and the servants were holding a lot of chips in their hands, no less than King Qi's, it seems that this Qin Xuan is also a master of guessing lantern riddles.

Qin Xuan was angry about what King Qi had done to disgrace him before, although he didn't dare to offend King Qi, it was always okay to tease him a few words, besides, he also knew that although King Qi was the prince, he was favored at all, after all, the current King Qi was just an imbecile in the eyes of the ministers and the emperor.

After King Qi recovered from his injury, his IQ decreased greatly, his memory became very poor, he always couldn't remember his reading, and he always forgot the etiquette he taught before, and he was not comparable to other princes in terms of words and deeds.

King Qi glanced at Qin Xuan and asked worriedly, "Are you?"

” He couldn't remember Qin Xuan's identity for a while, he had seen Qin Xuan in the capital, and then he forgot about it, so when he went out to greet Zhen Jian today, he didn't recognize Qin Xuan, and when he was celebrating his birthday on the island before, Qin Xuan reported himself, and King Qi remembered it at that time, but now, he forgot it again.

Qin Xuan saw that King Qi couldn't remember him, he was angry in his heart, the biggest contempt for a person is to ignore it, this point, King Qi did a very good job, but King Qi did not deliberately ignore him, but his head now has a limited capacity, and he only remembers important people and things, for those passers-by at the A level, they will basically forget it after an hour or two, in the words of the twenty-first century, his head is now very small.

"Under Qin Xuan!"

Qin Xuan held back his anger and deliberately raised his voice.

"Oh, I remember."

King Qi suddenly patted his head, "You are that Qin ......

Qin ......

What is your father's official position?

” Qin Xuan's teeth itched with hatred when he heard this, not only could he not remember him, but he couldn't even remember his father, his father was a privy envoy, the ruler of Great Chu, and his power in the court was second only to the emperor's existence!

He doesn't remember!

"Father Qin Huan!"

Qin Xuan replied patiently, and kept saying to himself in his heart, "He is the prince, he is the prince, he is the prince......

"Oh."

King Qi nodded, and then said, "You still haven't told me what your father's official position is." ” Gai Tong on the side whispered: "Your Highness, you should call yourself this king." ” "Oh, yes."

King Qi repeated again, "You still haven't told this king what your father's official position is." ” Qin Xuan put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists tightly, this King Qi is really angry, relying on his status as a prince, teasing him like this, he still has to be patient to talk to him with a smiling face, no, he has to take revenge!

Qin Xuan's eyes rolled, and then he laughed dryly, and said: "Your Highness, my father's official position is not important, now is the Lantern Festival, I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Qi won the first place in the Lantern Festival in the capital when he was nine years old, and the scenery is infinite, even the emperor is full of praise, it seems that the rumors are indeed true." ” King Qi smiled lightly and waved his hand: "No, no, this king's head has been injured, and now he is no longer good."

"King Qi has no scheming, what do you have to say, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is private, and you can't say it to outsiders, but he said it very calmly.

Qin Xuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be humble, it just so happens that Qin is also good at guessing lantern riddles, why don't you have a discussion with His Royal Highness King Qi?"

” When King Qi heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be a fellow practitioner!"

” Zhen Jian and Gai Tong immediately frowned when they heard this, King Qi was simple-minded and didn't see anything, but the two of them could see that this Qin Xuan had bad intentions.

Sure enough, I saw Qin Xuan suddenly raise his voice and shouted: "Everyone, today King Qi wants to compete with Qin to guess the lantern riddle, Qin is willing to use 10,000 taels of silver as the prize, if Qin loses, he will give His Royal Highness King Qi 10,000 taels of silver." ” "Okay, good......"

There are a lot of people around, and when they hear about it, they applaud one after another, and there is a lively scene to watch.

King Qi was stunned when he heard this, he reacted at this time, what Qin Xuan said was actually a competition to guess lantern riddles, instead of communicating and learning from each other, he frowned suddenly, he was self-aware, with his current ability, if he wanted to guess the Lantern King, it was estimated that it was a little hanging, but he didn't know what Qin Xuan's strength was.

But since Qin Xuan has drawn out the Dao, as a prince, how can he fall behind, so he also said: "Then the king will also give 10,000 taels to make a lottery." ” "Good!"

Qin Xuan said happily, "If one of us guesses the riddle of the Lantern King, even if we win, if we can't guess either of us, we will wait until sunrise to see who has the most chips to win, how about it?"

” "Yes."

King Qi nodded, there was no objection, he didn't have a block, and he didn't care about winning or losing, just 10,000 taels of silver, and if he lost, he would lose.

Zhen Jian thought that he was very sure in his heart, if he knew that he had this idea, he would probably scold him for being a loser.

After making a bet, the two sides went their separate ways, trying to guess the lantern riddle and scraping together 300 chips to guess the lantern king.

The riddle is divided into four levels, inferior, medium, superior, and there is the king of lights, the inferior riddle is one point, that is, a chip, the medium riddle is two chips, the upper class is three chips, and the king of lights is five hundred chips, so the king of lights is the main event.

The bigger the lamp, the higher the difficulty of the riddles, since the game is set, King Qi has to work hard to win, Zhen Jian and Gai Tong specially help him find a relatively large lamp, and King Qi is responsible for guessing the riddle, gradually, King Qi can't guess some of the riddles, Gai Tong sighed secretly, and quietly said to Zhen Jian: "King Qi used to guess these lantern riddles as if they were playing, but now their skills are really not as good as before." ” Zhen Jian nodded, didn't say anything, while feeling sorry for King Qi, he also felt that Qin Xuan was disgusting, compared with a person with a serious head injury, was it glorious to win?

Not only did he think so, but Gai Tong also thought so.

After working for an hour and a half, Zhen Jian felt that the soles of his feet were about to grind out blisters, and his calves were sore, so he finally scraped together enough chips of three hundred, and the three of them hurried from the water pavilion to the island in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, there were many people around the place where the island used to celebrate his birthday, and I saw two huge lanterns hanging in front of the gate of Yanshou Pavilion at some point, these two lanterns were enough to be one person high, and I didn't need to think about it to know that these two lanterns were the king of lights of tonight's lantern festival.

There was a table and a Taishi chair on the steps, Prince Yun was sitting at the table drinking tea boredly, while Qin Xuan was already standing in front of the two lanterns and meditating, he had already begun to guess the lantern king puzzle.

King Qi walked up to Prince Yun and said, "Uncle Wang, I have gathered enough three hundred chips, and I will also guess the King of Lights." ” "Okay."

Prince Yun nodded and smiled, "I heard that Li Er is very good at guessing lantern riddles, so let Uncle Huang open his eyes today."

"King Qi's name is Chu Li, and Prince Yun is his uncle, so he is called Li Er.

Although Prince Yun is his uncle, the royal rule of Great Chu is that the emperor is the greatest, and any other prince, even if it is the emperor's eldest brother, the prince can only be called the emperor's uncle or uncle, not the emperor's uncle.

"Yes."

King Qi nodded in response, walked down the steps, stood still in the field, and looked up at the two lamp kings.

I saw that the riddle of the two lantern kings was actually a couplet, and the upper couplet was: "Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; and foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, as if they were neither domestic animals nor wild animals.

"The next couplet is" There are poems, words, and history books; The east, west, north and south are blurred, although it is a short product, it is also a wonderful article. ” The hardest thing is that this Lantern King puzzle doesn't give any hints.

Lantern riddles seem to be very difficult, in fact, there are certain methods, such as puzzles related to words, there are: spelling, word solving, clutch words, etc., these are relatively simple methods, after knowing the method, plus hints, it is easier to guess the riddle, and this lantern puzzle actually does not have any hints, this difficulty is not ordinary.

When King Qi Chu Li saw this Lantern King riddle, he was stunned for a while, and immediately raised his hand and scratched his head, thinking hard and meditating, Qin Xuan didn't seem to be able to guess it, frowning there, and occasionally discussing possible answers with the entourage beside him.

But when Zhen Jian saw this riddle, his eyes lit up, it was really a coincidence, he happened to have seen this riddle in his previous life, and he saw it in a TV series, and the person who solved the riddle was the protagonist of the TV series, Ji Xiaolan.

Zhen Jian was secretly happy, and the county lord of Yunrou had already come to Zhen Jian's side and asked, "Can you guess this lantern riddle?"

” Zhen Jian was stunned when he heard this, but did not answer, while Gai Tong asked the county lord: "Why does the county lord think that Zhen Jian will guess?"

” Lord Yunrou said: "I just asked, I didn't say that he would definitely be able to guess." ” Gai Tong said: "Then why didn't the county lord ask me?"

” I have to admit that Gai Tong has a talent for stirring, Zhen Jian hurriedly helped the county lord of Yunrou to break the siege, and said, "Because I seem to be more talented than you." ” "Blow you."

Gai Tong rolled his eyes and said, "I've definitely read more books than you." ” Zhen Jian suddenly grinned, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What's the use of reading more, let me tell you the truth, I really guessed this lantern riddle." ” "What!"

Gai Tong and the county lord of Yunrou exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.
