The scholar gave his name, then quickly wrote a few words and showed them to the waiter.

The waiter nodded.

“White Egret Academy, Tang Rong, has successfully entered the customs.”

Tang Rong laughed.

“It’s really a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. I’m afraid that many people outside will be caught in one fell swoop~”

After saying that, he straightened his spine and walked in.

The people outside were a little confused.

That’s the answer! ?

A scholar gritted his teeth.

“I go!”

He also walked towards the waiter, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to give his name, but just wrote down the answer.

result,

“Entry failed!”

The waiter sang loudly.

Chapter 633 Li Qingcha, you are going too far!

The New Year is approaching, and restaurants like Fanlou, which are among the best in the capital, should be bustling with activity.

But now it’s unusually quiet.

It was unusually quiet both inside and outside the building.

The talented people looked at each other in bewilderment.

“How did you fail to enter the customs?”

They looked at the puzzle again:

What is three inches long, with hair on one end and bald on the other? Guess an object.

Emmm…

Isn’t the answer very clear?

Could it be that the person who answered the question just now did not dare to answer it correctly?

Finally, someone couldn’t help it anymore and raised his voice to ask the shopkeeper, “Since Mr. Siwei is judging the poems, today’s literary gathering is the home ground of Bailu Academy. Could it be that your Fanlou provided convenience for this?”

The shopkeeper didn’t say anything, but the people at the Egret Academy were already upset.

“What’s this word!?”

“We at Bailu Academy are upright and honest, and we have never bothered to play those little tricks.”

“Hmph! Don’t judge others by your own standards.”

……

In an instant, the two sides started arguing.

The young men were full of energy and their arguments were loud. Before long, their faces were red and a physical conflict was about to break out.

At this time, another gong sounded from the second floor platform.

boom–

Only then did the talented people stop pushing and shoving.

The shopkeeper said, “I know you may have some doubts, but don’t worry, when the literary competition begins and the guessing time ends, Fanlou will show the answers to all those who have successfully entered the customs.”

exhibit!?

Everyone thought of the riddle and couldn’t help but wonder,

This guy is going to die…

They fell silent.

The shopkeeper continued, “It seems that no one objects. In this case, I will add a new rule: you are not allowed to quarrel or fight, otherwise you will lose your right to guess the riddle. I hope everyone will muster up the courage to try.”

The phrase “muster your courage” is very interesting.

The people present looked at each other,

at last,

“I come!”

“I want to try it!”

……

The crowd was eager to try.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

Fanlou, three floors.

Luo Weiyang held the jujube flower crisp and ate it in small bites, like a cute hamster.

Jujube flower pastry is a traditional pastry made from butter, powdered sugar and other ingredients.

It is stuffed with jujubes and shaped like blooming jujube flowers, with each flower blooming into eight petals. Because of its excellent shape and taste and its classic style, it is also a regular item in the imperial kitchen of the palace.

The cooking skills of the chef at Fan Lou are comparable to those of the imperial chef.

Luo Weiyang sighed with satisfaction.

“Delicious~”

Li Qingcha couldn’t help laughing and pointed at the corner of his mouth.

The girl understood and wiped the corners of her mouth, which resulted in her palms being greasy.

She secretly reached out and touched the hem of Li Qingcha’s gown, leaving a small oil mark.

Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜

“Is this also hugging thighs?”

Luo Weiyang made faces,

“Hey~”

I am becoming more and more skilled at getting by with cute tricks.

Li Qingcha pinched the girl’s cheek with a doting look on his face.

The two of them were constantly making small movements, playing like kindergarten kids.

at this time,

“Cough cough…”

There was a sound of clearing throat.

Following the sound, I saw that the Second Prince had already taken a seat behind a low table nearby. On the left of the Second Prince was an old man with white beard and beard, who looked like a well-educated man.

The second prince smiled and introduced: “My Lord, this is Mr. Cheng Yi from the Cheng family of Yichuan.”

Li Qingcha was very calm.

Well, I don’t know.

But recently I heard Wei Xian mention Mr. Yichuan in the stele forest on the back mountain of Bailu Academy, and I think he is the ancestor of the Cheng family.

Li Qingcha bowed to the old man.

“Hello, Mr. Cheng.”

Master Cheng nodded reluctantly to indicate that he had heard it.

tsk…

It’s a bit aggressive.

Li Qingcha raised his eyebrows.

The Second Prince seemed to have noticed something as well, and quickly changed the subject, saying, “The Marquis’s puzzle is really difficult. So far, only about 20 people have successfully passed the test. Among the students of the White Egret Academy…”

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yi snorted coldly.

“Humph! It’s just a trick to take advantage of other people’s shame. It’s really not worth showing it to the public.”

This is true.

Li Qingcha really took advantage of others’ sense of shame.

So she didn’t argue.

Seeing her silence, Cheng Yi further said: “This is so disgraceful and despicable.”

He was quite sure that the whole guessing process was a trap.

First, the banner was not long enough, so the riddles written on it were very small. In addition, the deliberately dimmed lights created an atmosphere as if something was deliberately hidden.

This led the guessers to misjudge the situation, thinking that the shopkeeper was too embarrassed to reveal the question.

As for the reason for feeling ashamed…

Of course the answer is too dirty.

Secondly, guessing riddles also provide psychological hints.

Have the guesser show the answer to the waiter instead of reading it out loud.

This method will naturally mislead the guesser, making him believe that the answer is inconvenient to say and the purpose of writing it on paper is to save the guesser’s face.

The worst thing is that there is no possibility of stringing together answers.

Those who failed to pass the test would be ashamed to tell others their answers, because they were worried that they would be used as a topic of conversation and become the subject of laughter after dinner.

This will create a situation where everyone works for themselves.

This design is progressive, playing with people’s hearts at its fingertips.

Li Qingcha smiled.

“Today’s New Year’s Eve literary gathering is unprecedentedly grand, with so many talented people waiting outside. If we don’t screen them quickly, I’m afraid the literary gathering won’t be able to start.”

Cheng Yi twirled his beard.

“Strong words.”

Even a clay Buddha has some earthy qualities, let alone Li Qingcha.

After being challenged three times in a row, she was a little angry. She brushed the corner of her green shirt with her fingers and said, “So it seems that Master Cheng thinks he has completely figured out the reason why I asked the question?”

Cheng Yi smiled contemptuously.

“It’s nothing but a small skill.”

“If it’s a trivial skill, why are so many people stumped by this question?”

“They must have guessed…”

“What did they guess?”

“You! @#*￥%…”

Cheng Yi’s face turned black.

Li Qingcha laughed and said, “It seems that Master Cheng doesn’t quite understand what they are guessing. The accusation just now is nothing but groundless.”

Cheng Yi took several deep breaths to calm his heartbeat.

He didn’t expect that the other party would use the same method to play tricks on him.

“It’s impossible that I didn’t know what Marquis Wu Ding did.”

“Oh, this is a really useful saying. If you can say that, can I say that too? It’s impossible that I don’t know what Master Cheng did.”

“Ugh…”
