Datang romantic little landlord

The beauty boss naturally knew that this was Empress Changsun joking with him, covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Of course I have no objection, but you have to ask Wangyou for the answer, I don't know."

Empress Changsun turned her head to look at Li Wangyou, waiting for his answer.

Li Wangyou rubbed his nose with a sneer, what else could he say, he naturally replied with a smile: "Auntie, 'pillow side' can be understood as the side of the word 'pillow', take '冘'. 'Wu Geng' is Maoshi , take '卧'. And 'chao Guo Wu Geng' is interpreted as the word 'chao' passes 'wumao', leaving 'ear'. Therefore, the answer to the riddle is the word 'dan'."

Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction, smiled and took the answer to the doctor's place. Sure enough, she got back a small wooden sign, which was the certificate for entering the restaurant today.

Li Er was not in a hurry, he walked around looking for lantern riddles with his hands behind his back, wanting to solve them by himself.

Li Wangyou didn't want to disturb him, he was also looking for lantern riddles.Now that there are more people going into the restaurant, he needs to guess more...

641 Peacock

For Li Wangyou, these lantern riddles are actually not difficult.

Most of the lantern riddles in the Tang Dynasty were charades, which actually had rules to follow.At least compared to the confusing brain teasers of later generations, lantern riddles are much simpler for those who have studied them.

Later generations even summed up [-] rules for guessing lantern riddles, such as positive deduction, reverse deduction, increasing characters, and degrading characters, etc., and so on.

Li Wangyou strolled to the next lantern, looked up, and the riddle hanging under the lantern was "Flying Swallow Flying in the Sky, Hitting a Character from the Qin Dynasty."

After thinking for a while, he immediately tore down the riddle, but he was not in a hurry to find a doctor to verify it, but continued to wander among the lanterns to guess the riddle.For all the lantern riddles for which he had guessed the answer, he gently pulled the riddles off the lanterns and held them in his hands, planning to go to the restaurant doctor to check the answers together later.

But his behavior, in the eyes of others, is very strange.

The few Confucian scholars who spoke out before saw Li Wangyou taking down those lantern riddles almost without thinking, and they became more and more dissatisfied.

Someone couldn't help but said: "Young gentleman, if you haven't guessed the answer to the riddle, don't take away the lantern riddle like this. How can I guess the riddle if you're messing around like this?"

"That's right, if everyone is like you, regardless of whether they guessed correctly or not, they tear up the lantern riddles like this, how can others guess?"

"Xiao Lang-jun's nonsense, isn't it a disappointment to the good intentions of the owner of this restaurant?"

Facing the accusations of several Confucian scholars, Li Wangyou couldn't help being stunned.Guessing my own lantern riddles, it's none of these people's business?Is the sense of justice overwhelmed to this extent?Why don't you go save the planet?

When he looked around and saw a lot of beautiful young ladies covering their mouths and chuckling, and pointing at them, he immediately understood.

Emotions are the brains of the sperm. This is like when the male peacock is in estrus, he needs to show his "feathers" in front of the female peahen.

And unfortunately, I became a prop for these "male peacocks" who tried to show off their feathers...

Li Wangyou couldn't help laughing, very happily: "Everyone, how do you know I'm fooling around? Why can't I already guess the answers to these lantern riddles?"

What he said made those Confucian scholars sneer again and again: "Are you kidding? How can you, a young man, guess these lantern riddles? As far as I know, these lantern riddles are all from the owner of this restaurant. He paid a lot of money to invite the current generation Great Confucianism wrote it for it, in order to have fun with people on Shangyuan Festival today. If you don’t follow the rules, don’t you live up to the heart of the master?”

"That's right. Look at your young gentleman's attire. You are also a scholar. How can you be so insulting? You are also traveling with your female relatives. Don't act recklessly like this. You will lose face as a scholar in the Tang Dynasty."

"Hmph, ignorant and incompetent! Do you think this lantern riddle is just a game for fun?"

These few people saw that many people around them were looking at them, and their voices became more and more louder, which seemed to be defending the integrity of scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er, Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, and the beautiful boss naturally noticed the movement on Li Wangyou's side, but after they understood the words of those Confucian scholars, they all smiled at the corners of their eyes, looking like they were ready to watch a good show. appearance.

Even Niu Yong and Niu Wu wanted to scold these Confucian scholars who didn't know their dignity, but Li Er stopped him with his eyes.

There are still Confucian scholars who dare to reprimand Li Wangyou for being ignorant. In Li Er's view, this is really interesting.

Now that Li Wangyou is among the scholars in Chang'an City, his reputation can become even louder.Not to mention the poems sung by the prostitutes in Pingkangfang, even the few articles in "The Inscription of the Humble Room" are enough to make them famous forever.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Wangyou was really young and hadn't reached the top yet, I'm afraid he would really be respected as a great Confucian in the literary world.

Even so, scholars in Chang'an City often rush to the Li Mansion in Dingzhou Village, Hu County, and want to submit their own poems and articles, and ask Li Wangyou for advice.

For these "fans" who came to his door, Li Wangyou respectfully thanked them and ignored them.

What a joke, he just plagiarized some poems and articles, it's okay to pretend to be aggressive, but giving pointers or something, that's purely self-inflicted humiliation.

Although Li Wangyou was forced by his grandfather to learn ancient Chinese poetry since he was a child, I am afraid that scholars like Datang who have been immersed in essays, poems, policy theory, laws, scriptures, and ink meanings since childhood can be easily killed. over him.

How could Li Wangyou humiliate himself and point out some poems and articles? Isn't that self-exposing his shortcomings?

Many people have been rejected, and now there are rumors in Chang'an City that Li Ziyou, the uncle of Hu County, is unkind and quite aloof... Li Wangyou can only smile wryly and shake his head. Is this a sequela of being a Wenchaogong?

In short, including Li Er, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty sincerely admired Li Wangyou's talents.Even the aristocratic families with five surnames and seven surnames have to admit this while pinching their noses.

That's why Wang Renyou and Zheng Yuanshou heard that Li Wangyou said the couplet in the Tai Chi Palace today, so they couldn't wait to show off and hit him by the way.But I didn't expect that even a small way of playing with words like couplets would be completely embarrassed by Li Wangyou's blow, which was very embarrassing.

Naturally, Li Wangyou did not disappoint Li Er. After hearing the words of those Confucian scholars, he directly raised the thick stack of lantern riddles in his hand: "Hehe, since everyone thinks that XX is messing around, let's see what XX is. Guess right, right?"

After he finished speaking, he walked to the doctor at the door of the restaurant, picked up a lantern riddle in his hand and handed it over: "Excuse me, I want to guess the lantern riddle. The answer to this riddle is that when you wake up naturally, you can type a word. It's very simple, 'star' and The combination of '配' is the word 'awake', so the answer to the riddle is naturally the word 'star', I wonder if it is correct?"

The doctor took the lantern riddle, looked it up in the book in his hand, and then nodded with a smile: "That's right, congratulations sir, you got the answer right."

Seeing that Li Wangyou had guessed correctly, those Confucian scholars couldn't help but look a little ugly.

One of them snorted coldly: "Hmph, maybe he guessed it right by chance. I don't believe it. He has taken so many lantern riddles and guessed all of them."

"That's it. It's just that the blind cat met a dead mouse, but it only guessed one lantern riddle correctly. It's not like I didn't guess it. I also guessed two lantern riddles just now. It's nothing unusual."

There were four or five Confucian scholars in this group, and they only guessed two lantern riddles, which was not enough, so they kept guessing lantern riddles outside the restaurant.

The doctor handed Li Wangyou a small wooden sign as proof of answering the lantern riddles.

Li Wangyou waved his hand: "Don't worry, we will calculate together later, I still have a lot of lantern riddles to guess."

He picked up another lantern riddle: "If you put white on it, it turns black. Type a character. If you put 'white' on the character 'seven', it becomes the character 'soap'. 'Soap' means black, so the answer to this riddle is ' Seven'. Doctor, is that correct?"

"Congratulations sir, you won again."

The doctor's words made those Confucian scholars' faces suddenly become ugly, and they looked at each other a few times, all of them were surprised and uncertain.Could it be that this young man really guessed out the thick stack of lantern riddles in his hand?

642 Give the old man an explanation

As the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten.

The few Confucian scholars at the entrance of the restaurant feel this way now.Originally, I wanted to make use of the topic to show off my "feathers" in front of a few ladies who had never met before, but I didn't expect that it was me and others who showed timidity instead.

Who would have imagined that the young man in front of him would be so terrifying. He took out lantern riddles one after another in his hand, and said the answers one by one from his mouth, and all of them were correct.

These Confucian scholars were startled, annoyed, and ashamed, feeling that their age had already lived in the belly of a dog?These lantern riddles, which seemed extremely difficult to them, were as easy and simple as child's play to this young man.

And poor them, it took a long time to think, but they only guessed two lantern riddles. Comparing the two, they were beaten naked.

Those few Confucian scholars didn't dare to say any more, knowing that they and others were stunned today.Several people looked at each other, retreated secretly, squeezed into the crowd of night tourists, and disappeared.

Li Wangyou cast a glance at those Confucian scholars out of the corner of his eye, and didn't bother to say anything.With his current status, he naturally wouldn't care too much about these people.

What he did just now was just because these people spoke too badly, so he gave them a small lesson.
