Countdown to Yin Yang Classics

Of the nine, three did not vote.

One is him, one is Gu Shi, and the other is Wang Luo, whose life and death are unknown on the playground.

Cheng Yu carefully recalled what Gu Shi had said to him.

The phrase 'Jia Yuanchun' was not referring to a character who was excluded like them, but a character that Gu Shi had always suspected.

"Teacher Hongmei, can you give me a few minutes to ask?" Cheng Yu motioned to Hongmei that he wanted to ask.

Even if he wants to exercise the power to change the vote, his rhetoric must convince everyone, otherwise it will be invalid.That's why Cheng Yu made such a request.

Hongmei looked at him and said, "Yes, three minutes."

"Okay, thank you." Cheng Yu thanked Hongmei for giving him this opportunity to ask questions.

There was only 3 minutes to ask questions. At this moment, Cheng Yu turned his target to the three ladies present.

Xu Yin, Xu Ting, and You Jia.

At that time, several of their men went to eat in classroom 555, while Xu Yin, Xu Ting and You Jia ate cakes in classroom 520.During this period, the palace lantern in classroom 555 where Cheng Yu and the others were located went out three times. Cheng Yu guessed that it was related to the tomato as the cooking ingredient and the person with tomato in the meal.

But now, he changed his original thinking.

He guessed: when the lantern in classroom 555 was off, in classroom 520, whether someone changed the character card role.

If so, then everything in classroom 555 was a deception, leading him in a different direction, thus making him ignore the remaining three ladies in classroom 520.

Grandma will naturally not disclose any classroom information to him.

But from the news he asked to inquire just now, he found that among the few people present, Xu Yin, You Jia, and Jin Ke were more or less nervous and uneasy.

These small actions and details caught Cheng Yu's eyes, which triggered his subsequent thinking.

For a long time, Cheng Yu found that he had overlooked a very important clue.That was two blind casts, code names and characters. He spent time and energy to check the numbers and guess everyone's code names and character card roles. There is nothing wrong with these.But it was this that caused him to fall into a misunderstanding all the time.

It was as if he was trapped in the story and couldn't get out.

It wasn't until just now that he figured out why.

In a story, people often focus on the characters and events, but ignore the most important point, which is the basis of storytelling.

That's the time.

time.

From ancient times to the present, time is indispensable in every story.

The timing of concubine Yuan's visiting relatives is itself a huge mystery, but he just ignored this most basic setting before.

Even Gu Shi, who had always been stern in front of him, gave a simple and clear answer when he asked him: because of concubine Yuan visiting relatives.

Visiting relatives, there is a problem with time itself!

That's right, the answer to the story is originally simple. It is the setting of the question and the way of thinking of the answerer that complicate a simple question.

Cheng Yu was like enlightened, at this moment, he figured out many things.

Whether it was the problem of finding the box after the first blind vote, or they were guided to classroom 555, or the extra-large birthday cake pushed up by grandma...

The connection of these things, in addition to misleading his thinking, is also an important reason, which is to cover up the 520 classroom where the character cards and roles were exchanged.

Thinking about it this way, Cheng Yu suddenly felt a little grateful to grandma, as if she should have given him a reminder, but he was ignored by him at the time.

For example, the cake, when I was about to sing the birthday song, I warned him to go to classroom 555 to be self-sufficient; for example, when Gu Shi mentioned that the box was not good-looking, she quickly agreed to change it.

Cheng Yu walked over, looked into the little girl's eyes, and asked the first question: "Xiao Ting, how old are you this year?"

Xu Ting glanced at Xu Yin, and said slowly: "Ten, twelve."

"Are you sure? Look into my eyes and say." Cheng Yu changed his attitude towards the little girl before, and fixed his eyes on Xu Ting, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

The sudden change of attitude and coercion made the little girl tremble in fright, and she looked at Xu Yin flickeringly, not daring to look at Cheng Yu again.

The big brother who used to be warm and heart-warming, at this moment, became very strange, and the strangeness made her afraid.

Cheng Yu looked at Xu Ting who was hiding in Xu Yin's arms, and suddenly let out a muffled laugh.

Xu Ting lied.

When grandma entered the information before, he could hear clearly, because he was the last one, so he remembered everyone's information very clearly.

Xu Ting is 13 years old, a junior high school student, and an orphan.

But just now she said in front of Cheng Yu that she was 12 years old.

Xu Ting lied.

A child will not lie to an adult for no reason, so the only reason for her to lie to herself is Xu Yin.

Xu Yin, what are you hiding.

Cheng Yu and Xu Yin looked at each other, Xu Yin remained silent, and comforted Xu Ting who was frightened by Cheng Yu with one hand.

The two just stared at each other in silence, and after a few seconds, Cheng Yu left with a sneer.

He remembered the information that Gu Shi told him. At that time, in order to get some news from Xu Ting, he asked Gu Shi to help him get Xu Yin away.Finally, Gu Shi told him that Xu Yin was Jia Yuanchun.

Thinking about it now, Jia Yuanchun is definitely not Xu Yin.

No one would easily expose their identity and role. You must know that these people are very unfamiliar with Gu Shi.Even with Cheng Yu's familiar character, when he asked Huang Tai, he had a lot of talk.

On the contrary, Old K, a martial arts coach who is a veteran, is the most open-minded person, answering whatever he asks.

Will Xu Ting be that Jia Yuanchun?

Not sure yet.

There is still one Yujia.

It seemed that she had expected Cheng Yu to come over and ask herself, but You Jia acted calmly instead.

"It seems that you have a question you want to ask me?" You Jia raised her eyes and met Cheng Yu's gaze.

Taking the initiative to attack, Cheng Yu praised him in his heart.

Compared with Youjia's current state, she is like two different people.

Especially after Wang Luo was taken away and she came back from outside.It's like a different person.

"Codename 'Baozi No Mantou Fragrance' is you?" Cheng Yu asked, looking into her eyes.

The originally quiet eyes flickered several times because of this question.You Jia also looked away from Cheng Yu.

Yujia said, "No."

Cheng Yu sneered: "It seems that Wang Luo is indeed sorry for you."

You Jia: "..."

Cheng Yu turned around and signaled to Hongmei that the question was over.

"Whose votes do you want to change?" Hongmei asked.

Cheng Yu said, "You Jia."

Youjia's vote went to Jia Baoyu.

Strictly speaking according to the logic of the story, the old age and the only male cannot convince him at all.The reason why he didn't propose to change the votes earlier is that he wanted to confirm everyone's intentions in the end.But now it seems that someone deliberately turned their attention to the two roles of Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu.

There were still three votes to go, Cheng Yu said: "There are nine of us, and I hope that the ticket change will be counted on Wang Luo. After all, he is also one of us in public."

Hongmei: "So what is your role in ticket change?"

"Jia Yuanchun." Cheng Yu looked at You Jia and said.

With two votes left, Cheng Yu showed his vote, and at the same time asked Hongmei to show the vote written before Gu Shi left.

Both of them are Jia Yuanchun.

"Please state your reasons." Hongmei said.

The number of votes and roles changed overwhelmingly, and the hearts of everyone present followed Cheng Yu and raised their voices.

Jia Yuanchun is the character that shouldn't exist in Cheng Yu's eyes.

why?

Cheng Yu turned around, looked at everyone and said: "We all know that visiting relatives is a custom from ancient times to the present, and it is also a kind of expectation for many married people to return to their natal homes, and it is also a kind of concern and longing that blood is thicker than water. Then I would like to ask everyone, who would not go back to her mother's house in broad daylight, but would go back to her mother's house at night. This kind of thing, even now, will be said to be against the rules. So let me ask, Jia Yuanchun has accepted it since he was a child. The young lady who was educated in the ancient etiquette system, the imperial concubine who is favored by the emperor, why dare to be disrespectful and visit relatives at night?"

"Is it because the emperor doesn't love her enough? Is it because people in Jia's house don't know the etiquette system? No, there is only one explanation. Jia Yuanchun was already dead at that time. It was just a wandering soul of hers who went home to visit her relatives."

After Cheng Yu finished speaking and looked at everyone's reactions, only Huang Tai kept up with his rhythm, and then he said: "I remember reading a saying a long time ago, which is closer to yours. The soul is looking for a way to return. The palace compound is too lonely, and the warmth and coldness of people are all driven by it. Jia Yuanchun was pushed out by the Jia family to obtain a bargaining chip for the ancient power. She is well-known and well-known, and she is loved by the emperor. One reason, and then there are so many concubines in the palace, the reason is that only the newcomers laugh, and a few people look back at the old ones crying. Perhaps the lonely and unattended days in the palace have swallowed up Jia Yuanchun's vitality. There are many pens and inks, and Jia Yuanchun's words also have a sense of complaint."

"Yes. I thought about the plot of the story carefully. Going home to visit relatives should have been a happy and joyful event, but looking at Jia Yuanchun, standing in her position, with a noble status, visiting relatives has further separated her from Jia's family. The distance between everyone and the shackles of feudal etiquette are like a curse hanging over her head. Home is not like home, and the so-called family relationship has become extravagant."

Cheng Yu paused, and continued: "Back to our question this time, who is the character that should not exist? Or the person who should not exist in the story? I have stated some of my views just now, and Huang Tai also Added some. Finally, let’s talk about the issue of timing. You must know that in ancient times, timing was a very important node, especially in the families of emperors and officials.”

"Xuchu almost got up and set off, and returned to the palace at three o'clock in Chouzheng. That is to say, he set off at about seven o'clock in the evening. After arriving at Jia's mansion, he left at around one o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the morning. Just ask a normal person, even if you get married When you go back to your natal home, will you set off at seven in the evening and leave at one or two in the middle of the night? Ancient people paid more attention to the right time, place and people, especially the emperor's house, which paid more attention to it. But we didn't pay attention to such a noble concubine Jia Yuanchun. See. What we see is the cold etiquette and the bondage and isolation of family affection."

"Finally, I would like to add that the Lantern Festival saves relatives. The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in our country, and the meaning it represents is self-evident. And in such a major festival, Jia Yuanchun, who is a noble concubine, does not accompany her in the palace compound The emperor's husband came back to visit his relatives, and he had to leave after only a few hours. Because of the constraints of the etiquette system and the loneliness in the deep palace compound, there must be at most a sliver of comfort when visiting relatives back home."

"Therefore, I believe that Concubine Yuan's visit to relatives is the soul's return to her hometown, the last trace of obsession before death. Therefore, in the whole story, Jia Yuanchun is the character who should not exist, the person who should not exist. Yujia in the back right."

"what?!!"

Everyone was surprised.

Cheng Yu directly pointed out that You Jia's character is Jia Yuanchun.

Youjia looked at Cheng Yu calmly. Regarding the matter of him revealing her character card, her attitude was very quiet, like an outsider watching a play.

"It seems that you don't want to deny what I said?" Cheng Yu said.

Youjia stood up with a slight smile: "If I deny it, will you let me go? What makes me curious is, how did you guess that I was Jia Yuanchun?" She put her character into a role light up.

On the palm-sized paper card, the words 'Jia Yuanchun' were written in black and white.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that Hongmei didn't object, Cheng Yu said:

"Start with everyone's code names. Through two rounds of blind voting and some things that happened in between, I basically determined everyone's code names and a few characters. Until the end of the second round of blind voting, Wang Luo was voted out with the highest number of votes." , I just confirmed the last few character card roles. It was not long ago that I confirmed the ownership of the last two code names. "It's so annoying" and "Steamed buns don't smell like steamed buns". What kind of a person would come up with a code name like 'Steamed buns without steamed buns'. Until I understood Jia Yuanchun's experience, I figured it out a little bit."

"When people are suffering from hunger and cold, steamed buns and steamed buns are both temptations and gifts. However, compared with those who have a choice, steamed buns with flavor seem to be more attractive, while ordinary steamed buns can only be leftovers. In the same way, a noble concubine like Jia Yuanchun doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but deep down in her heart, I think she would prefer the buns in Jia's mansion when she was a child Steamed bun."

"'Steamed buns are not fragrant' is Jia Yuanchun's memories of the past, and it is also a farewell. As for the code name 'I'm bored to death', I almost guessed wrong at the beginning. Now that I think about it, there is only one explanation, Wang Luo's. The code name, you gave it to him, right?"

Yujia sat down.

But when Hongmei filled in the final votes for Jia Yuanchun, she rushed to the front of the classroom, smashed open the front door, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Grandma and Cheng Yu immediately chased after seeing this.

"Is that door so easy to hit?" Cheng Yu looked back at the door behind his eyes and asked his grandma.

"She's not Yujia." Grandma said, "Maybe she was replaced at a certain time."

Cheng Yu stopped in his tracks: "What? How is this possible?" He recalled the scenes that everyone experienced together. Apart from eating cakes, there were several times when he was separated from everyone.

One time against the 'Bone Demon', one time to go up to the fifth floor again, and the last possible one was to go up to the fifth floor again.

The accident in the corridor caused him to stay for a while. Except for Gu Shi, everyone lost contact during that time.

"Grandma, can I ask you something?" Cheng Yu said, he wanted to confirm some things, even though he was still a little uncertain.

Grandma slowed down and turned around: "Ask. It depends on your mood. It involves classroom tests, so I have no comment."

"I know. I'm asking about something else. After taking Wang Luo out that time, I remember that Youjia also went out later..."

"She wanted to go to Wang Luo, but I stopped her." Grandma said.

"She wanted to go to Wang Luo, but you stopped her?" Cheng Yu seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned and ran back to the classroom.

"and many more--"

When Hongmei was about to wipe off Jia Yuanchun and "Steamed buns don't smell like steamed buns", Cheng Yu broke in and knocked off the blackboard eraser in her hand.

Grandma came in after him, "What's wrong?"

"Youjia is not Jia Yuanchun. If she were Jia Yuanchun, she wouldn't think of looking for Wang Luo. At most, there is something wrong with their relationship, and it's not enough for Youjia to put him in danger just for a test."

Grandma: "Then what do you mean?"

Standing on the podium, Cheng Yu scanned the people sitting below again, and his eyes finally fell on Xu Yin.It was because he ignored a problem, thinking that he could find Jia Yuanchun as long as he found the loophole in time and the correspondence between the code name and the role.However, the fact is that he forgot that the palace lantern went out three times.

If everything in classroom 555 was a cover, then the three times the palace lantern went off should correspond to the character cards in classroom 520 being switched.

After three swaps, before he guessed that You Jia was Jia Yuanchun's identity, Xu Yin, who was most likely Jia Yuanchun, was excluded by him.Because Xu Yin confessed his identity to Gu Shi at the beginning, Cheng Yu felt that she could not be Jia Yuanchun.

But just now, when he broke in, Xu Yin and Xu Ting obviously had a strange look on their faces.They seem to be afraid of their own return, afraid of their sudden appearance.

"The real Jia Yuanchun is still in this classroom, and Youjia is not Concubine Jia. The truth is that someone used her to change the role of the character card, and then changed back. It misled my previous inference."

Huang Tai asked directly: "Then who is Jia Yuanchun?"

Everything back to the beginning, back to the origin.Cheng Yu walked down, walked to Xu Yin's side, and said, "Mr. Xu, show your character card."

Xu Yin smiled, and took out his character card, with the words Jia Tanchun written on it.

Cheng Yu picked it up, took a photo, walked up to old K, and said, "Brother K, use the lighter."

Old K naturally took it out of his pocket and gave it to him.

This method of hiding information with special paper requires a specific fire to reveal it. It actually existed in ancient times. Cheng Yu lit a lighter, and the character card was roasted by fire. After a while, Jia Tanchun, who was written in black and white on it, Disappeared, and finally a red font of Jia Yuanchun slowly emerged.

"It was written in human blood." Old K stared at the red lettering on it and said.

Cheng Yu: "Huh?"

Old K: "I have been a soldier, and I can still distinguish between human blood and paint."

Cheng Yu was so frightened that he threw away the character card in his hand.

How unlucky!

The author has something to say:

Big rough chapter, at this point, the story of the Red Mansion Chapter has already begun to end.Finally, I will explain the situation of Gu Shi, and then I can look forward to the Journey to the West chapter. o(*￣︶￣*)o
