Chapter 560 Sisters Flowers
This stall is placed on the edge of the river bridge, with big red lanterns hanging high, attracting attention.
Zhu Xu walked slowly over, and the surrounding imperial guards quietly gathered together. When there were too many people, it represented danger.
The stall owner stood in front of the stall, a 50-year-old man, who looked quite kind. There were four covered puzzles behind him. He smiled and looked at the crowd and said, "I have five puzzles here, and one has been guessed. Whoever guessed the last one, I will give him this screen!"
On the inside of the stall behind this stall owner, there is a very exquisite screen, which looks extraordinary.
"Hurry up, drive the second route, I can't wait." A young man shouted in the crowd, looking happy, looking determined.
There were men and women in the crowd, all of whom were teenagers and loved to join in the fun. Cao Dingjiao was standing on the side with his back facing Zhu Xu and others.
Zhu Xu walked over slowly and looked at the puzzle behind the old man in the head.
Seeing that there were enough people gathered, the old man smiled and said, "Okay, I will open the next question. This was a Jinshi from the Apocalypse period. No one has come up with it for many years. I've been optimistic!" As he said that, the old man tore open the second story.
Zhu Xu looked up and saw only one sentence above: Only a son-in-law can be like a son. Note: Buddha.
‘Is this a fight for Buddhism?’ Zhu Xu said secretly, and at the same time he thought about it.
The old man looked at the people around him with a smile, and waited quietly while touching his beard.
The same was true for Cao Dingjiao and other groups of people, lowering their heads and pondering.
After a long time, no one spoke. Zhu Xu couldn't figure it out, so he turned to look at Cao Huachun and whispered: "Can you guess it?"
Cao Huachun has excellent knowledge. If he had not entered the palace, it would have been easy to get a Jinshi.
Cao Huachun's face was slightly stiff and he whispered: "I can't guess."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the crowd. He couldn't guess that when it comes to studying, he was at most arbitrary. If he was placed among the people, he probably wouldn't even pass the exam for scholars.
"Old Cao, can you guess?" Wei Xuelian stood beside Cao Dingjiao and leaned over and whispered.
Cao Dingjiao pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and said, "I can't guess."
The others bowed their heads and looked at the riddles for a while, and they frowned, and they couldn't guess why.
"Ah, I guessed it, I guessed it!"
Suddenly, a little girl in the crowd shouted loudly, her tone quite excited.
Everyone looked over, and Zhu Xu looked up and saw a 15 or 16-year-old girl wearing a dark green shawl, with a pretty face as water as water, and was excited to be red.
A red scarf next to her, and the little girl who looked like her sister quickly grabbed her and whispered: "You really can't guess it?"
The little girl snorted and said to the stall owner with a confident look on her face: "Boy to be lucky, right?"
Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he secretly turned his head. As soon as the answer came out, everything became simple.
Recruiting the same son!
Everyone else suddenly realized that it was this "wealth-seeking boy"?
The old man was quite surprised and looked at the little girl and said, "I have heard that Miss Zhang is outstanding in talent. It turns out to be true when I see it today. It's not bad. The answer is 'Boy to attract wealth'."
The little girl raised her neck and looked proudly at her sister beside her, with a proud expression on her face.
The sister rolled her eyes quietly and ignored her.
"So it's Miss Second, no wonder, I'm not so proud of myself..."
"This 'Boy to Hunting Boy' guessed well, Miss Zhang is well-known!"
"It seems that this screen will be taken away by Miss Zhang today."
"The screen is paired with beauty, and it is well deserved..."
A group of young talents praised the two ladies, and Cao Dingjiao shook his head secretly, and couldn't help but change his eyes and look around. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed and his face suddenly changed.
He saw Cao Bianjiao behind a man, and looked alert.
He had seen this person from afar when he entered the palace to see Cao Bianjiao, standing in front of the Ganqing Palace to see the scenery!
Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Xu smiled and shook his head gently.
Cao Dingjiao suppressed his fear, turned around and raised his hand and said, "Cao Dingjiao has seen... Young Master."
Zhu Xu nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Wei Xuelian turned around, looked at Zhu Xu and the group of people, and smiled at Cao Dingjiao, "Old Cao, are you friends?"
How could Cao Dingjiao have thought that he would meet the emperor if he occasionally came out of the Political Court to let the wind go. He looked at Zhu Xu carefully and introduced to Wei Xuelian, "This is my eldest brother, this is... Mr. Zhu."
Wei Xuelian is not a fool. From Cao Dingjiao's attitude and his proper speech, Brother Cao Dingjiao can infer that this person has extraordinary identity!
He restrained his previous casual attitude, raised his hand to the two and smiled, "It turns out it is Brother Cao, Mr. Zhu, lucky to meet! I will study with Lao Cao in the Zhengyuan."
Zhu Xu naturally knew about Wei Xuelian, but he didn't say much. He pointed at the two ladies in the crowd and smiled and said, "What is the origin of this 'Er Miss Zhang'?"
Cao Dingjiao was not very interested in this kind of talented man and beauties. However, Wei Xuelian was quite enthusiastic. He smiled and said, "These two Miss Zhang are the side branches of the British Duke Zhang family. They are a pair of sisters. They are talented and rarely show up in Beijing. They didn't expect to meet them here today, which is really lucky."
Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian didn't care about this, and just thought Zhu Xu was curious.
But Zhu Xu and the other two all looked slightly moved, and Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao all looked at Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at the "Miss Two" in the crowd. The old concubine was always arranging the choice of concubines. This Miss Zhang family was the one she most liked.
However, Zhu Xu never cared about this, and he didn't know whether the old concubine was interested in her sister or sister.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xu was suddenly stunned, turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Don't you know them?"
Cao Huachun approached and whispered: "It's winter. Every time I enter the palace, I wear cotton clothes and hats. I have not seen my true face."
Zhu Xu said "Oh" and continued to look at the Miss "Er Zhang".
The younger sister is obviously more lively, the older sister looks quiet, and the two look similar, both have good looks and body shapes.
"Okay, question three!"
The old man from the stall owner said for a while and tear open the third riddle.
I saw that it was still a line of poems, which was relatively simple: I passed the palace of gods and immortals in the upper realm.
"Travel through the Gods and Immortal Palace in the Upper Realm? Is this an idiom?"
A group of people bow their heads and ponder, the more difficult it is to answer simple puzzles.
Zhu Xu was also thinking about it. Just as he was about to speak, the sister of "Miss Er Zhang" looked at the old man and smiled and said, "It's earth-shaking."
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, it's really earth-shaking. Miss Zhang is indeed smart and agile."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. He had just finished his calculations and had no clue at all, so he guessed it.
I looked up at the 'sister' and glanced at the surroundings again. Sure enough, I saw many people smiling with great thoughts, obviously I had a curse.
Zhu Xu twitched his lips secretly, thinking that he would take more time to read when he went back.
The old man looked around and smiled and said, "This fourth way was from a senior citizen in the previous dynasty. If someone could answer and wanted to go to the master for advice, he would definitely succeed."
This was more attractive than the screen, and the group of people suddenly started to clamor.
"Seriously, who is the Grand Secretary?"
"Can you still be in the court now? Or in the capital?"
"Come out of the riddle quickly, guess it first."
Even the "Miss Er Zhang" who didn't care much about "apprenticeship and seeking advice" was quite curious and looked at the fourth puzzle.
Zhu Xu glanced at Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, guess, I want to see which Grand Secretary it is." Then he turned to Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Huachun said, "I guess there is a prize."
Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao both bowed slightly, without saying much.
Cao Dingjiao glanced at Zhu Xu quietly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Xuelian didn't have so much scruples. He heard this and was eager to try it. He approached Cao Dingjiao and whispered: "Old Cao, if you guessed it, would you like to become a disciple? There is a Grand Secretary who entered the court and became an official, but it would not be smooth..."
Cao Dingjiao felt his scalp numb and hurriedly said, "Guess first, don't disturb my thoughts."
Wei Xuelian smiled and turned to look at the fourth puzzle that the old man had torn off.
"Sweep the sea and the soldiers are all in the sea. What kind of puzzle is this? Is it an idiom?"
"This is a puzzle created by the Grand Secretary. It must be profound in meaning. If you don't understand, don't speak."
"Yes, this must be related to his mood at that time. Unfortunately, I don't know who it was, and I don't know what problems he encountered at that time..."
The group of people discussed it, but they were confused.
"Miss Two" both lowered their heads and frowned. This puzzle should not be guessed randomly, otherwise it would become a joke.
Wei Xuelian and Cao Dingjiao were both in deep thought. Such a great scholar has always been meticulous in his questions. Without citing classics and scrutinizing them for many years, he could not find any thoughts.
They all disassembled the words one by one, scraped their hearts and wanted to find a suitable sentence.
Cao Bianjiao didn't read much, he was even worse than Zhu Xu. He thought about it for a while and then gave up.
However, Cao Huachun seemed to think about something and looked dazed from time to time, but he couldn't guess it thoroughly, but he had a little understanding.
However, Zhu Xu's heart moved slightly, and he nodded immediately, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
He did not think about the riddle, but directly guessed the answer. The government and officials during the Tianqi period were nothing more than those, and they could be trapped.
The old man stood in front of the stall and looked around the crowd with a smile. When he saw Zhu Xu, his eyes lit up and said, "Young Master, I saw you calmly, did you guess it?"
Zhu Xu was slightly stunned. He was just watching the fun.
As the old man finished speaking, the group of people looked at Zhu Xu with disbelief and suspicion.
But the "Miss Er Zhang" looked at Zhu Xu with a little curiosity, as if she wanted to know the answer.
Zhu Xu noticed the expression of "Miss Er Zhang" and seemed to not know him either.
‘It was indeed the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker…’
Zhu Xu complained in his heart, and smiled and said to the old man: "Private fraud."
The old man's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhu Xu seriously.
Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian still frowned, even if they knew the answer, they would not match it.
This is especially true for others, and the answer to this riddle seems to have nothing to do with the riddle.
"Brother, this is wrong?"
