Chapter 141 Can this question be the finale?(1/2)
"Well!"
"Xiao Langjun, wait a moment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher revealed the third puzzle on the lantern.
"The ancient moon shines on the water, and the water flows forever, and the water accompanies the ancient moon through the spring and autumn. The water left behind shines on the ancient moon, and you can go boating in the deep blue waves."
The mystery was revealed, and everyone who saw the mystery began to speculate again.
…
"Master Prefect, the moon is really round!"
The county master looked at the moon hanging in the sky and said to Wang Mingyang.
"Si Zhi, you and I are still so polite!"
"Just call me Shouren!"
"Master Magistrate, you are too far-sighted!"
Wang Mingyang shook his head at the county master and corrected the county master.
"Then, Si Zhi will call you Shouren!"
"Shouren, do you think someone can solve the riddles we left today and go upstairs to have a drink with you and me?"
The county master smiled and said to Wang Mingyang.
"You, you!"
"After so many years, there is still no change!"
"That lantern riddle was created by you and me over the years!"
"Even my father won't be able to figure it out for a while."
Wang Mingyang smiled and said to the county master Chen Sizhi.
You must know that Wang Mingyang's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Jinling.
The Dasheng Dynasty was divided into the Yanjing Court and the Jinling Small Court. Generally speaking, anyone the emperor disliked would be thrown into Jinling City.
The small imperial court in Jinling City had no real power, but the Minister of Civil Affairs still had some power.
As for Wang Mingyang’s father, he was born as a scholar.
Even the top scholar couldn't solve this riddle for a while. You can imagine how difficult this riddle is.
"Shouren, the first two lantern riddles are easy to guess, but the latter ones are a little more difficult!"
"If you make up something that can guess everything, Shouren, you can't shirk it!"
The county master said to Wang Mingyang.
He knew that Wang Mingyang's temperament did not like contact with outsiders.
But today Wang Mingyang finally came to Ruian County, and the county master had to give the scholars of Ruian County a chance no matter what.
The opportunity has been given, and it depends on the scholars whether they can seize it or not.
If this thing can be accomplished, it will inevitably lead to a good story.
In the prosperous dynasty, the evaluation of officials was related to their reputation among scholars.
The county master's ability and background are not as good as Wang Mingyang's, so he can only make some fuss about his reputation.
So that I can get greater promotion in the future.
Wang Mingyang took a breath. For his old friend, he also saw through it without saying anything.
"Thinking about it, my father told me that there is a vacancy in Fujian..."
"The imperial court will select a capable person to go to Fujian to serve as general judge..."
Until the point was made, Wang Mingyang didn't say anything more on this topic, "But Si Zhi is right. If someone can guess all the lantern riddles today."
"That is definitely a smart person, it doesn't matter if you meet him!"
Wang Mingyang has always disliked meeting scholars. It's not that Wang Mingyang is noble, it's just that he doesn't want to deal with those complicated things.
What's more, the court currently recruits scholars based on articles, and most of the scholars who have not undergone practical training are just rhetoric.
They have nothing in common with me, so if they ask me how to write an article.
How did Wang Mingyang answer?
He hated the eight-legged method of recruiting soldiers.
After finally escaping from the misery of recruiting scholars with stereotyped writing, why bother making yourself uncomfortable?
I don’t know that the prime minister can make complete changes in the imperial examination and selection of scholars.
However, the prosperous dynasty had serious problems and was only competing for profits with those landlords.
The prime minister is already under too much pressure.
"Why are you thinking so much?" Wang Mingyang took a sip of wine and forced himself not to think about these things.
After all, if even the powerful prime minister cannot solve the problem, what can he, a small prefect, do?
You can only do your best.
Just when the prefect Wang Mingyang's thoughts were far away, bursts of noise came from outside.
"It turns out to be the character for lake. This young gentleman is really a wizard, a wizard!"
"Who says it's not the case? It's only been a while, but Huang Xiaolangjun has already solved three puzzles in a row!"
"Such a problem-solving speed is really shameful!"
Perhaps the commotion here in Zuixiang Pavilion was too loud, and people of all ages in the city gathered here.
Everyone was staring at the lantern riddle, waiting for the riddle to be revealed.
Waiting for Huang Tinghui to solve the puzzle without thinking.
This feeling is like watching those TV shows in later generations. The general public is even more excited than the people involved.
You also need to have a sense of involvement.
Circle after circle, one after another, the crowd surrounded Zuixiang Pavilion.
There are not many entertainment activities in this era, and it coincides with the festive season.
It's time to have some free time.
Everyone heard that someone near Zuixiang Pavilion had defeated the county magistrate and the magistrate and asked them to tell lantern riddles.
Naturally, they gathered here extremely excitedly.
"This young man is really handsome. Pan An was nothing more than this in his lifetime!"
"You are so smart and quick, you can see that you have the seed of reading!"
"It's the sixth level, it's the sixth level. It's really amazing. He is more than just a scholar. This young gentleman is simply a genius!"
"Is it possible that Qing'er is in love with love? After we're done, go and ask the young man if we can get married?"
"Didn't you see that there was a woman beside him? The woman looked at him lovingly, as if the young man was the only one in the whole world. As for the young man's hand, he was holding the woman tightly, not even for a moment.
Let go, the young master and the young lady are so infatuated with each other, I have no chance!"
"It's true that in public, he can still hold on to that woman's hand and not let go. The woman still has spots on her neck. Such a man is so infatuated!"
At this time, Ruian County was buzzing with people, and everyone focused on Huang Tinghui.
Some people even stood in the restaurant near Zuixiang Pavilion and looked down, just to see a scholar who had solved several puzzles in a row.
"Huang Xiaolangjun, the seventh path, the riddle is: the door of the lantern riddle before you enter!"
Just saying these five words, everyone onlookers instantly became confused.
What kind of perverted lantern riddle is this?
Just these six words?
Haven’t entered the door of lantern riddles yet?
Is this solving a lantern riddle, or is it humiliating people?
When everyone listened to these six words, they only felt that they were mocking them for not being able to enter the threshold of lantern riddles.
It’s still the county master or the prefect who knows how to play!
Such lantern riddles can be produced!
Contrary to everyone's inner speculation, Chen Laoxiucai became excited at this time.
He didn't believe that Huang Tinghui could guess just these six words.
It seems that there is no need to be embarrassed today.
What a blessing from God!
