The man in Xuanyi was intoxicated, walked to the stone steps of the Xuanting Pavilion and looked at the person who was playing the qin, and did not say anything to disturb, just quietly waiting to listen.

When the sound of the piano finally stopped, he said, "Gu Cheng has seen Master Chen. ”

The people in the pavilion stood up, it was actually a woman, she bowed, and said: "The master of the horse is here, and he has not been far away to greet him, but it is rude." ”

At this time, the bright winter sun shone into the pavilion, sprinkled on the white scribe robe of the woman in the pavilion, and suddenly, the man in the dark clothes actually felt a light in his eyes, as if he saw the most beautiful epiphany blooming suddenly, and involuntarily revealed a stunning color.

The women in the pavilion are in their early teens, three thousand green silk are coiled into a bun, pressed under a top of the head of a sara scribe, the head of the head slightly exposes the romantic sideburns on both sides, the eyebrows above the delicate eyebrows are like spring, the eyes are like water, the nose is small and high, the cherry lips are not dotted and red, it is really clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving, and there is a scholarly and beautiful atmosphere in the light and light.

Without waiting for the man in Xuanyi to speak, the woman in white smiled lightly and asked loudly: "Doesn't the master of the horse think that I have a good scenery in this small building, and I will come to visit whenever I have free time?" I was panicking below. ”

It is not difficult to hear the ridicule of the woman in white, the man in the dark clothes is slightly red, but he is a person with a face as thick as a wall, and he quickly returned to normal, laughing and said: "Bachelor Chen is in charge of the Guozijian student examination school, and he is busy with affairs and many official affairs, how dare he disturb this idle horse more?" This time, I asked the bachelor to take a long time, because the riddle of the lantern that the bachelor came out of last time has already been solved. ”

The woman in white smiled indifferently, raised her hand and signaled, "Since this is the case, then please let the master of the horse inside." ”

The man in the dark clothes was not polite, and hurriedly walked in, came to the woman in white to face the case, and knelt on the straw mat.

The woman in white did not speak, and personally picked up the teaspoon and poured a cup of Mengding spring tea for the man in Xuanyi in the teapot on the stove on the desk.

The man in Xuanyi picked up the hot tea and looked at it, the tea cup soup was green and clear, the bottom of the leaves was tender and bright, and he took a sip, only to feel that the aroma between his teeth was rich and sweet, and the taste was fresh and mellow, and he couldn't help but show a comfortable look.

The woman in white said with a faint smile: "A few days ago, the master of the horse came to ask for a riddle in the next place, and he deliberately let you know the difficulty and retreat, so there was a rather difficult riddle to solve, I didn't expect you to be able to solve it in just a few days, but it was quite surprising to be in the next." ”

"Haha, Master Chen, you don't know anything." The man in Xuanyi laughed loudly, and slowly explained the method of solving the puzzle he had thought, and in the end, there was an uncontrollable look of pride on his face.

The woman in white raised her eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but smile: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the trick of the lonely horse is a little admirable, but if you think about this riddle yourself, it is much easier, and it is even more difficult to let others who don't know the inside story come to think." ”

The man in Xuanyi was confused and asked, "Why is it easy to decrypt under the next?" Please also tell the bachelor. ”

The woman in white smiled and said, "Do you remember the situation when I gave you lanterns that day?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." The man in Xuanyi nodded, recalled and replied truthfully: "That day, the bachelor instructed me to wait outside for a while, and after about a cup of tea, he asked the maid to bring me a carp lantern, saying that the lantern riddle was on the lantern, and at that time I was holding it and looking at it carefully, and it was written exactly the five words 'windless lotus leaf movement'." ”

"Yes, how did the lone colt feel at that time?"

"I just think that the riddle has no head and no tail, and there is no hint, I wanted to ask you but I was worried that you didn't like it, so I had to leave."

The woman in white sighed lightly and said meaningfully, "Who said I didn't give you a hint?" Isn't it the best hint that you walk away with that carp lantern? ”

Hearing this, the expression on the face of the man in Xuanyi suddenly froze, and then he suddenly patted the case: "Walking away with a carp lantern?" Oh, isn't this the mystery that there must be big fish? Why didn't I think of it at the time? It turns out that the carp lantern is also one of the lantern riddles! ”

The woman in white laughed and said, "I'm afraid that at that time, the lonely horse's mind was full of windless lotus leaves, how could he pay attention to that carp lantern?" But ......" said this, with a slight smile, and said solemnly: "The person who guessed the answer to the riddle did not see the carp lantern, and guessed it completely by strength, which is a little surprising." ”

"There's something even more surprising." The man in Xuanyi smiled mysteriously and said softly, "The person who guessed the mystery of the bachelor is Cui Wenqing, and he is the husband of Zhezhao. ”

"What, it's Ah Zhao's husband?" The white-clothed woman's eyebrows rose slightly, revealing a look of surprise for the first time.

"Yes, and Cui Wenqing also made a lantern riddle on the spot, if you want me to transfer it to the bachelor, please guess it too."

"Interesting!" The woman in white smiled suddenly, "Where is the lantern riddle?" Please take a look. ”

The man in Xuanyi nodded, and hurriedly took a folded piece of rice paper from his arms.

The woman in white took it and slowly opened it, and as soon as she glanced at it, her brows were already furrowed in surprise: "There is a thing in time, you can hold it with your left hand, but you can't hold it with your right hand, what is it?" ”

"Yes, this is the lantern riddle that Cui Wenqing came up with."

"Any hints?"

"Nope."

Hearing this, the woman in white frowned even deeper.

Since she was a child, she has been known as a prodigy, with the ability to never forget, learn and think.

When she grew up, she was even more knowledgeable and talented, and at the age of sixteen, she was awarded the title of Jixian Hall Scholar by the official family, becoming the first female bachelor since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.

It stands to reason that the riddle should be difficult for her, and it can be easily solved in a moment, but I didn't expect to see this riddle today, but it made the woman in white hesitate.

Seeing the woman in white muttering, the man in Xuanyi couldn't help laughing and said: "Cui Wenqing has a word, if Bachelor Chen can solve this riddle, then his eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver don't want it, if Bachelor Chen has not solved it, then please don't pretend to be high and despise the world's scholars in the future." ”

As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the woman in white, her pretty face was slightly flushed, and her snort was slightly rapid, obviously a little angry.

After thinking about it for a while, the woman in white still didn't have a clue, and said lightly: "Okay, let me think about it for a day and answer tomorrow." ”

The man in Xuanyi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for Master Chen's answer in the Eldest Princess's Mansion." With that, he took his leave as a courtesy.
