Dressed as Tang Bohu

Chapter 6 Guess the word puzzle

In a courtyard with willows standing in front of the court, Yang Yuanbin stood with his hands behind his back, listening to Yang De's report beside him, his face gradually darkened.

"...Only six people responded to the message sent yesterday, and the rest have not responded yet. The boy I sent to wait outside the Tang Ji restaurant just sent a message saying that the restaurant had hung up a banner early this morning. , Now some people have surrounded outside, and it seems that they have not been affected." Yang De hung his head and stood aside, a little more humble than before.

Yang Yuanbin didn't give him the slightest bit of spare time. After he finished speaking, he sneered and said: "It seems that these poor scholars are far away from the rivers and lakes and don't know the power of the temple. How dare they ignore my request."

"Most of Tang Yin's invitations were his friends on a daily basis, and few of them were officials in the court. But he invited a lot of pens and inks like Mr. Li, and now they are all hanging in the building." Yang De reported truthfully.

"Since that's the case, I'd like to see for myself who signed the signatures and see what tricks they can come up with!"

Yang Yuanbin's eyes became more stern, he turned around abruptly, and strode out the door. "Go, let Yang Yi prepare the horse for me!"

At the same time, Tang Kee Restaurant...

A group of people gathered around the entrance of the restaurant, among them was a scholar standing in front of him, all looking eagerly at the little bookboy standing at the entrance.The book boy held a blank sheet of paper, and read out the contents in a childish voice.

"One dark and one short, one short and one long, one day and one night, one hot and one cool. Please guess the word."

"This, this is an anagram!" The scholar was taken aback. The last couplet was the right couplet when he entered. Why did it become an anagram when he came here?

The scholar pondered hard and couldn't understand it, and the people watching were also talking about it.Then I saw a person's expression suddenly brightened, and he said loudly: "One is dark, one is short and one is long, one day and one night, one is hot and the other is cool... a day and a month, this is the word for 'bright'!"

The onlookers were in an uproar, "So that's the word!"

"Oh, why didn't I think of it sooner." Someone was annoyed.

The person who guessed correctly showed his face, and he cupped his hands around, and walked out of the crowd with his head held high.The little book boy smiled and made a gesture of invitation to him, "Congratulations, young master, please come inside."

Tang Ziwei leaned on the first pillar inside the door, saw the man come in, looked around, saw Tang Ziwei's eyes lit up, hurriedly came over and cupped his hands: "Your Excellency is Tang Yin, I have admired your name for a long time, I met you today , really handsome and handsome!"

Tang Ziwei also slightly raised his hand, but didn't answer, just said: "Please."

The man wisely didn't say any more, walked in, and was soon attracted by the calligraphy and paintings displayed in the building.Then a young man from the store came to lead him, found a table and put some food and wine on it.

Tang Ziwei retracted his gaze and continued to look outside.The school boy at the door fumbled from the backpack behind him, and took out another question to take the school exam again. Everyone in the audience was gearing up, and the atmosphere was lively.

"If you add two dots to the word "Mu", you don't need to guess the word Bei; if you owe two points to the word "Mu", you don't need to guess the word "Mu". The book boy read the question word by word, and before he could say what to guess, a voice answered first.

"This is the word 'He, Zi'." As the words fell, a young man stood up.

He was wearing a dark brown thin satin cloak, followed by two tall and thin attendants. He was not conspicuous in the crowd, and he stood out immediately and looked different.

"I've been watching it for a long time. Your anagrams and couplets are nothing but pediatrics. They are really boring. Little book boy, hurry up and let that crazy student Tang Yin come out, and let me see if he is as powerful as the rumors!"

"This is against the rules." The book boy stared with a bit of aggrieved voice.

The young man stepped on the stone steps in front of the door, and suddenly approached the little book boy, threatening: "If you can't call out Tang Yin, I will tell you all the answers to your crossword puzzles, so that you can't invite guests! "

"But, but this is against the rules!" The little book boy's mouth was constricted, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry.

Most of the onlookers couldn't see someone bullying a child like this, and immediately booed.The boy didn't seem to care at all, he just urged the little book boy to go in and find someone.

In the restaurant, Tang Shen was busy walking around, but he still paid attention to the movement here.Some wondered why no one came in after so long, and hurriedly came over, but was stopped by Tang Ziwei's hand in the horizontal direction.

"Go and do the things inside, I'll come here."

Tang Ziwei got up from the pillar, walked slowly to the door, lowered his eyes to meet the gaze of the young man, and saw the young man suddenly smiled.

"You are Tang Yin?"

"Yes."

"Then you can come up with a question! If you can stop me, I will give you a request. If you can't...then you, the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, have a vain title, but you can't keep it."

Tang Ziwei looked at the young man's high spirits, but he didn't ask why, but nodded his head, fascinated by what he said casually: "Two shapes and one body, four branches and eight heads, four eight one eight, flying springs and flowing upwards. You Guess what word it is?"

The boy listened carefully, and repeated the words in his mouth several times.Everyone in the audience was interested, and they were not in a hurry to boo him at this time, and they all started thinking together.

After thinking about it, the boy squatted down on the ground and wrote and drew with his fingers on the ground, but he couldn't make up a word.

After tossing for a while, he stood up from the ground, looked at Tang Ziwei with sparkling eyes, and asked without much loss, "I can't guess, what is the answer to this mystery?"

"Four eight and one eight, together it is five eight, five eight, and forty. Forty is 'well', and the answer to this question is the well's well."

The boy seemed a little stunned at this moment, "Arithmetic?"

"That's right." Tang Ziwei smiled at him, turned and walked into the restaurant.

The boy subconsciously took a step forward, but when he reached the door, he saw the little book boy standing in the middle with a straight face.He paused, and before he could speak, he saw the little book boy raised his hand and stepped aside.

"You answered one of my crossword riddles. According to the rules, you can go in." The little book boy was speaking, his soft voice was full of reluctance, and his face was wrinkled.

The young man thought it was interesting, but he had no time to look for him, so he hurried into the restaurant to look for Tang Yin, but what he found was a dazzling array of calligraphy and paintings, literati and drinkers, and he couldn't find that thin figure no matter what.

At this time, Tang Ziwei went to the second floor in the morning, Zhu Zhishan and other friends gathered here, and the round of wine was over.

Seeing Tang Ziwei approaching, Zhang Ling quickly pulled a chair for him, and praised: "Brother Ziwei, your idea of ​​solving riddles and getting inside is really powerful. Now the restaurant is so lively, this trick is the best!"

"This is not my trick, I got it from Su Niang." Tang Ziwei said.

Hearing what he said, Zhu Zhishan immediately became interested, "Oh? It's interesting that a girl has such thoughts. Which girl is on the flower boat?"

"Brother Xizhe is interested? It's a pity. After seeing Brother Ziwei, Su Niang probably already has her own heart." Zhang Ling said carelessly, and suddenly slapped him on the forehead.

"The kid is talking nonsense, am I that kind of person?" Zhu Zhishan's face was serious, but the little beard on his chin was raised and raised, which looked a little funny.

Everyone at the same table couldn't help laughing out loud, only Wen Huiming slowly took a sip from his teacup without saying a word.

Tang Ziwei picked up the jug and filled himself a glass.Then he raised his glass and said: "Everyone came here today, Ziwei is very grateful. I will trouble everyone to move downstairs in a while. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been prepared. Don't show your timidity when you make a poem with a cup of tea."

All the people present here are celebrities, and when they heard what he said, they all raised their glasses, "We have all come to accompany the great talent of Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to show cowardice."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was at its most harmonious, only to hear the long hissing sound of horseshoes.

Accompanied by screams and the sound of things being overturned, they broke into the building.
