Chapter 70 Ninety-nine Dispels Cold (4)

The thought flashed through, and the answer to the riddle appeared clearly in my mind.

Lin Yu thought to himself that the difficulty of this riddle is that there is no prompt, which makes people have no clue, but if you make a brain teaser...

"The first question stumped us. It is worthy of being the title of the Garden Poetry Appreciation Conference last year. I now think this Master is quite reasonable. How can there be no fish in the world in the rivers, lakes and seas? How can the flowers survive without branches? Could it be that this question is wrong?" Wu Dalang wondered,

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and the two brothers standing next to Wu Dalang showed embarrassment, reminding the elder brother that someone had written the answer just now.

The little guy who registered next to him looked disdainful and sneered in his heart. These people really couldn't pass the first level.

At this time, the waiter saw a handsome young man walking to Wu Dalang, lowered his head and said a few words. Wu Dalang's depressed mood was wiped out, he was happy on his face, and he raised his thumb and said, "Brother Yu Lin, you are really amazing, we admire you!"

When everyone heard Wu Dalang's shouting, they laughed even harder, thinking that this silly man was just here to make fun of it today. The waiter curled his lips and looked at Lin Yu with more sarcasm, but he was just bluffing.

Wu Dalang smiled silly and came to the waiter, picked up the brush beside him, waved his hand, and immediately appeared on the paper. After writing, he turned around and left.

The talented men looked puzzled. Could it be that this silly man really guessed the answer?

At this moment, everyone saw a young man coming to the registered waiter. The man took a brush, dipped it lightly ink, and wrote a few words on the paper.

I saw that the little guy glanced at him and saw the words written on the rice paper. His eyes immediately widened, and then turned to look at the answer written by the silly man. It turned out to be the same!

After a long time,

Lin Yu asked, "Are you right?"

The waiter said in surprise: "Yes!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Someone took advantage of the waiter's inattention and secretly stuck his head out to look at the answer on the rice paper.

"The water in the well has no fish, the fireflies have no smoke, the dead trees have no leaves, and the snowflakes have no branches."

...

...

If this is a riddle, Lin Yu wants to use "Brain Teaser" to call it more intimately.

Lin Yu had no idea at first, and in the riddle, the Master framed the conditions of the riddle from the beginning, water corresponds to rivers, lakes and seas, fire corresponds to firewood, grass, lights and candles... Most people would follow this idea and think about it. Fortunately, the word "brain" mentioned by Wu Dalang reminded him.

The riddles of "heaven killing" in previous lives can be said to be endless and speechless. For example, why did bear sleep so long when hibernating? Answer: Because no one dares to wake it up. This kind of question and answer that is reasonable and free from the real answer!

"Can we continue to guess riddles?" Lin Yu asked as he looked at the waiter.

"Yes, please!" The waiter quickly made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Yu turned around and left, and the three Wu brothers followed closely. Mr. Yu Lin was really amazing! He could guess such a difficult question. He said that he was good at riddles and did not lie to us.

Now even if Lin Yu said that he could not guess riddles, they would not believe it anymore. The three Wu brothers followed Lin Yu closely behind him. The three of them decided not to think and directly followed Lin Yu to win!

Lin Yu and the other two came under a lantern and happened to meet the first young master who solved the riddle. The young master was surprised when he saw Lin Yu and the others, then nodded and smiled, bowed to Lin Yu and the others, and then stopped talking, frowned, as if he had been bothered by the second riddle for a long time.

Lin Yu was puzzled, is this second lantern difficult?

He came under the lantern, looked at the topic, and said in surprise: "How simple." The young master next to him frowned when he heard Lin Yu's words, snorted, and turned his head to the side.

The riddle of the lantern is written.

"According to legend, a talented man was traveling to Jiangnan, he met an old birthday boy for his birthday, so he gave him a couplet.

The first couplet is: The sixtieth reopens, plus the age of 30 to 7 years.

The second couplet is: Two years old and two years old, one more spring and autumn.

When the old man saw it, he slapped and said, "How wonderful! How wonderful!"

Someone asked, "What's the wonder?"

The old man said, "Isn't this exactly my age?"

After everyone calculated, they suddenly realized.

Ask, the age of the old birthday boy.”

Lin Yu thought about it and walked directly to the waiter. Everyone was surprised. Could it be that this person guessed the answer again?

The young master next to him looked at Lin Yu involuntarily, and saw him splashing his pen and ink again and writing a few lines of large words.

The waiter looked down at the text on the rice paper.



The first couplet: Sixty years old, two sixty years old plus twenty-one years old is one hundred and forty-one years old.

The second couplet: The seventy years old is seventy years old, two years old plus one year old, which is exactly one hundred and forty-one years old.

Therefore, the age of the old birthday boy is 141 years old.



"Congratulations to young master, young master, great talent!" The waiter said in surprise, with no intention of despising the young man in front of him.

Through the waiter's reaction, everyone was surprised, but unexpectedly, the young man answered another question correctly.

If the answer to the first question just now was a random guess, what about the second question? Everyone was curious and couldn't help but go to watch the second question. After a while, they shook their heads and sighed.

Lin Yu frowned at first, not understanding why everyone thought this question was difficult. Isn’t this a simple addition question? Then, after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized it.

In this world, dynasties change and power changes. After you finish your singing, the rulers gradually pursue the imperial examination system that is mainly similar to the eight-legged essay.

Therefore, the content about mathematics began to be greatly reduced in the imperial examination. Although everyone did not hate mathematics, to a certain extent, society formed a trend that made people feel that mathematics had no status, and only literature, politics, military tactics, etc. were the main ones, which made the mathematics in this world begin to show a trend of a comprehensive decline.

Lin Yu received higher education in his previous life. In his opinion, this kind of mathematical problem with seemingly large numerical values ​​is a simple addition and subtraction problem.

But for those talented men who have read poetry and books all day long, it is indeed a bit difficult to answer them in a short time.

Before the waiter could finish his words, Lin Yu came to the third lantern and looked up at the riddle above the lantern.



Once upon a time, an old man from Jiang County left a suicide note before his death, which he handed to his five-year-old child and son-in-law.

The suicide note says: The sixty-year-old child has a son and is not a matter of my son's family property and the countryside is all over the countryside and no disputes with his son-in-law.

Several years later, his son became an adult and wanted to split up with his brother-in-law. The two of them had to go to the yamen to sue.

The son-in-law defended and said, "The father-in-law's suicide note reads: "A son of sixty has a son, but he is not my son! All the property and countryside are paid

No disputes with your son-in-law." The county magistrate accepted the suicide note and ordered to temporarily withdraw from the court and terminate again tomorrow.

As soon as he was promoted to the court the next day, the county magistrate said: "The inheritance should be inherited by his son!" After that, he returned the two punctuated suicide notes to the old man's son and son-in-law.

When the son-in-law saw it, he was speechless and had to obey his orders.

Ask, how does the county magistrate write the suicide note?”

Lin Yu was puzzled. According to the meaning of the riddle, he wanted to guess what the county magistrate wrote in the suicide note, but the question was about writing...

Just as Lin Yu was considering the answer to the question, he began to gather around him, all the scholars and talented men who were originally preparing to leave in the first or second level.

When they looked at Lin Yu, their eyes were a little complicated, some doubts, some expectations, and some admiration. If Lin Yu guessed the first question, but the second question was calculated by himself. Many people are still stuck in the second question and cannot figure it out.

This young man with simple clothes and pretty faces should not be underestimated. He is indeed a very powerful person.

"Do you two understand this question?" Wu Dalang turned his head and asked his brother.

The two shook their heads, and Wu Dalang said depressedly: "I can't understand it either. Who gave this question? Isn't it going to make things difficult for others? It's not that the question is random, the difficulty is different, how difficult is it in three consecutive ways? It's so tormenting. I don't know if Brother Yu Lin can answer it this time." The three of them looked at Lin Yu with anticipation and lowered their heads to think about Lin Yu.

How to write?

It’s not about asking what to write, so it starts with the structure of the sentence.

Lin Yu picked up a branch from the side and thought of some possibility, so he wrote a suicide note left by the old man on the ground: The old man with sixty years old gave birth to a son-in-law and his family property was not allowed to argue with his son-in-law.

Then he drew a few more words: The sixty-year-old child gave birth to a son/the person said that he was wrong/the family property and the countryside were all given to him/the son-in-law outsiders/no disputes.

I read the sentence I drew and my eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly came to the waiter. Without waiting for him to pick up the brush himself, the waiter squeezed out a smile and took the initiative to hand the ink-dip pen into Lin Yu's hands.

Lin Yu took it and quickly wrote on rice paper: "A sixty-year-old child gave birth to a son, but people said that he was my son! He gave all his family property and countryside, and his son-in-law and outsiders should not argue!"

Lin Yu looked at the waiter with a smile and asked, "Are you right?"

The waiter swallowed and replied, "Correct. Please!"

Everyone gathered quickly, and after reading the content written on the rice paper, they immediately understood and applauded! At this time, everyone's eyes when they looked at Lin Yu had changed drastically.

I guessed three riddles in a row, and the difficulty was higher than the other. This young man’s future is unlimited!

The three brothers of the Wu family are the happiest of all! It’s done, it’s done! With the help of Mr. Yu Lin, we will definitely see Fairy Zi Su in a few days!

The waiter's heart was different from everyone else, and he knew the difficulty of these riddles. In order to attract popularity, Tianxian Restaurant specially selected the remaining topics from the garden poetry appreciation conference in the past few years, but some of these topics were later and very difficult.

Now a young man has answered three times in a row!

Just when everyone was still immersed in surprise, Lin Yu turned around and walked towards the fourth lantern, followed by the fifth, sixth, and seventh...

At this time, everyone looked at Lin Yu, as if they had seen a ghost!
Chapter completed!
