Scholars unparalleled

Hearing this, Qiongyue pointed to the lantern riddle in front of her immediately, with a little excitement in her eyes, "Husband, this lantern is so beautiful, as long as you guess the lantern riddle correctly, you can take it away."

Lu Chensheng looked up when he heard the words, and saw the word "Man in the Mirror" written on the crossword riddle beside him, and immediately smiled knowingly.

"Husband, have you guessed the answer?"

Chu Wu heard the words from the side, and immediately turned to look over.

"Shopkeeper, is the answer to this riddle written in words?"

Lu Chensheng asked loudly, and the shopkeeper nodded immediately upon hearing the words.

"Young master is so powerful, you can guess the answer at a glance. This lantern belongs to you."

With that said, he took off the lantern and handed it to Lu Chensheng.

After Lu Chensheng took over, he handed it over to Qiongyue.

Seeing this, Qiongyue's eyebrows were filled with joy, and she was full of joy after receiving the lantern.

"You two, do you have a favorite lantern?"

Lu Chensheng turned his head and glanced at the two women beside him.

Both Shouyue and Chuwu shook their heads, it seemed that they didn't like the remaining lanterns very much.

Lu Chensheng took a look, and found that the lanterns here seemed to be better looking than the ones in Qiongyue's hands, and the rest were really not that good.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng didn't say anything more.

The group then walked forward, admiring the surrounding lanterns.

After a while, the somewhat riotous crowd in front of them attracted Chu Wu to look over frequently.

But then, when he saw a high-hanging lantern in front of him, which looked rather delicate and small, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"My lord, I want that lantern on the fifth day of the lunar new year!"

Chuwu hurriedly pulled Lu Chensheng aside, and Cong pointed to the lantern in front of him and said something immediately.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng took a look, and seeing that the lantern was indeed small and extremely beautiful, he nodded slightly.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

There was some commotion in the crowd ahead, but they didn't know what was going on.

After Lu Chensheng came forward, it was discovered that several scholars had taken a fancy to the lantern in front of them, and there was a slight smell of gunpowder between them.

Beside the scholars, there were also a few women wearing masks. Although they couldn't see the faces of the women, but from the eyebrows exposed by the other party, it might be possible to guess that the women should have some beauty.

I'm afraid it's a few guys, in order to show off in front of women, and don't want to lose their reputation, that's why they are so gunpowder-like.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chensheng smiled immediately, but guessed it in his heart.

Turning his head to look at the lantern riddles on the side, he saw a series of riddles written on it.

"Sitting is also sitting, standing is also sitting, walking is also sitting, lying is also sitting.

Sitting is also standing, standing is also standing, walking is also standing, lying is also standing.

Sitting is also walking, standing is also walking, walking is also walking, lying down is also walking.

Sitting is also lying down, standing is also lying down, walking is also lying down, lying down is also lying down, hitting four living things. "

It was really difficult, Lu Chensheng's mouth curled up slightly, but the answer came back to his mind.

"Brother Wu, you are welcome to leave this lantern, it must be ordered."

The scholar wearing a lun scarf looked at his friend at the side at this moment, but his tone was somewhat tit-for-tat.

The scholar on the side smiled lightly when he heard the words, as if everything was under control, "Oh, how many have you guessed, Brother Wang?"

"Although I don't know how many two brothers have guessed, but I have already guessed two. This lantern is going to be disrespectful."

While chatting with each other, the scholars did not take their eyes off the crossword puzzle on it, they were probably thinking of solving the crossword puzzle as soon as possible so that they could take down the lantern.

The women on the side all looked at each other, then looked up at the crossword puzzle, and Liu Mei frowned slightly.

This riddle is really troublesome, and it is also extremely difficult to guess.

They have been watching for a long time, but they have no clue.

"My lord, this crossword puzzle looks so difficult."

Chu Wu also took a look at the crossword puzzle at this moment, and then said with a bitter face.

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard the words, "It's indeed a bit difficult, but your son has already solved it."

Solved?

As soon as these words came out, the scholars on the side and the passers-by were all shocked, and then they all looked over.

At this moment, several scholars looked at Lu Chensheng suspiciously.

Judging from the other party's appearance, he should have just arrived, right? Can you solve everything just now?Isn't this talking big!

"Brother, don't talk big, how can this riddle be solved so easily!"

The scholar wearing a scarf turned his head to look at Lu Chensheng and said intently.

Lu Chensheng smiled and didn't respond when he heard the words, but just pointed to the crossword puzzle on it and said.

"Shopkeeper, does the riddle above correspond to frogs, horses, snakes, and fish?"

After Lu Chensheng's words fell, the shopkeepers on the side were taken aback. This riddle was actually solved?

You know, this lantern cost a lot of money, so someone had to write it, and it has not been long since it was hung up, and it was untied so lightly, the shopkeeper suddenly looked bitter.

"This young man guessed right."

Although the store owner felt bitter, he still took down the lantern and handed it to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng passed it to Chu Wu who was beside him.

The people on the side finally realized at this moment what the riddle meant.

No matter what the frog is sitting, no matter what the horse is standing, no matter how the snake is walking, no matter what the fish is lying down, it is simply wonderful!

Immediately, some passers-by looked at Lu Chensheng with a little admiration.

The scholar on the side reacted, and was extremely annoyed at once, secretly hating himself for not guessing it, and looking at the lantern in Lu Chensheng's hand, he was still a little unwilling.

"Brother, I really like this lantern, I wonder if I can part with it?"

The scholar wearing a scarf walked up to Lu Chensheng, cupped his hands and said.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand upon hearing this, "I'm sorry, but I really like this lantern, but I can't give it away."

The fifth day of the lunar new year has already received the lantern, and at the moment I like it very much, and I am looking up and down with the lantern.

And Lu Chensheng has no plans to give up.

The Lunjin scholar was a little disappointed when he saw this, but instead of mentioning the lantern, he cupped his hands and said.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. I just figured out a lantern riddle. Seeing that my brother is so quick-witted, I don't know if you dare to guess it?"

Chapter 171 Solving Puzzles With Puzzles

At the Lantern Festival, sometimes some scholars and talents thought of lantern riddles, and they would tell their friends to match them.

It is actually very normal for this scholar to behave like this on such an occasion.

Hearing the words, Lu Chensheng didn't mean to delay, he cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, brother."

"The time of drawing is round, the time of writing is square, the time of winter is short, and the time of summer is long, please guess the word."

Lunjin Scholar spoke with a smile on his lips. The crossword puzzle he just thought of was still a bit difficult.

After the words fell, the passers-by on the side all frowned bitterly, thinking about what the word was.

Lu Chensheng smiled and said, "So I'll tell a mystery to help the fun."

Speaking of this, Lu Chensheng continued after a slight pause, "There is a fish in the East China Sea, which has no head and no tail. If you remove the backbone, it will be your mystery."

The rest of the scholars were still thinking about what the other party's riddle was, but after hearing what Lu Chensheng said, they were all stunned.

According to the meaning in Lu Chensheng's words, the other party seems to have guessed it?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the scholar Lunjin.

Lunjin Scholar was also stunned at this moment, his face changed slightly after thinking about it carefully, "Brother is so good at guessing it so easily."

"It's just that I know a lot about crossword puzzles, it's nothing to boast about."

Lu Chensheng was humbled when he heard the words.

The Lunjin scholar didn't take it seriously when he heard the words, he was able to directly guess the anagrams he was talking about in such a short period of time, this level of ingenuity is extremely quick.

The people on the side listened to the words of the two, and they were all stunned, looking at the two in bewilderment.

At this moment, they looked at the two of them as if they were laymen looking at an expert fighting. They only saw the two of them bragging constantly, but no one could guess what they meant.

Standing aside on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he looked at his young master with great admiration.

It's still my young master who is very good, and the crossword puzzles provided by others, the young master directly matches the crossword puzzles given by the other party.

But at this time, the store on the side took out a new lantern and prepared to hang it.

Chu Wu glanced at it, and his face immediately became happy, "Young master, this lantern is also very beautiful!"

Lu Chensheng also turned his head to look when he heard the words, and was a little surprised when he saw the lantern. He didn't expect that the store had such a beautiful lantern in his hand.

"Hey, this lantern riddle seems to be quite simple."

Lu Chensheng glanced at the lantern riddle above and said something.

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard the sound, and his palms couldn't help shaking, "Young master, you have already taken such a good lantern, please show mercy!"

Looking at Lu Chensheng's appearance, it was obvious that he had guessed it. How could the shopkeeper not be surprised when he saw it.

Adding the mystery that was born in this book just now, Lu Chensheng also answered it easily.

If the other party didn't guess the riddle of the lantern in his hand, he didn't believe it at all.

It's just that this lantern, which he was going to use as the treasure of the town store, was pointed out before it was hung up, what should I do?

Lu Chensheng saw that the shopkeeper looked at him helplessly, looked at the fifth day beside him, and saw that he already had a lantern in his hand, so he nodded.

"Forget it, let's just guess about this lantern."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but then an idea popped up in his heart.

"My lord, I wonder if I can ask you to come up with a crossword puzzle?"

The storekeeper looked at Lu Chensheng and felt that if he asked the other party to solve a crossword puzzle for him, it would be difficult to guess the lantern.

After all, the other party is a master at solving puzzles, and the crossword puzzle that the other party came up with can definitely overwhelm the crowd, so that others can't guess it.

Hearing these words, Lu Chensheng saw the shopkeeper looking at him pleadingly.

"As long as you are willing, except for this lantern in my hand, you can choose one of the other lanterns. How about treating it as a reward from me?"

The shopkeeper watched Lu Chensheng carefully.

Lu Chensheng listened with a smile, this store does know how to do business.

"Do you have a favorite lantern?"

Lu Chensheng turned his head and looked at the Chuwu people beside him.

Chu Wu looked at the lanterns and shook her head. She already liked one of the lanterns very much, but she didn't like the others.

At this moment, Shouyue stepped forward and randomly took a lantern, "Just this one."

Shouyue held the lantern and said to Lu Chensheng, she didn't really like this lantern, but she was just curious about what kind of mystery Lu Chensheng would make up, and put it here.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng nodded, "Shopkeeper, do you have any blank paper?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper immediately lifted his spirits, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I'll give it to you!"

As he said that, he brought a blank piece of paper, and when he was about to take pen and ink, Lu Chensheng waved his hand.

"There is no need for pen and ink."

After Lu Chensheng finished speaking, he pasted the paper directly on the lantern, "This is the mystery I came up with."

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he saw this, and had no idea what Lu Chensheng meant.
