My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 917

[Chapter 891 Chapter 902 Continuous Guessing (Second update please subscribe)]

At this time, the bald waiter came out.

“Does anyone else have a guess? If not, then get ready to start the Yuan Dynasty Poetry Club!”

“Me! Let me guess!”

The speaker was a man in his thirties, wearing a coarse cotton coat. He looked like something A servant of the family.

When everyone saw this, they laughed.

It seems that the temptation of fifty taels of silver is still huge. Even a servant came over to guess lantern riddles, but it was not clear whether he could read or not?

“You want to guess?”

“Guess.”

The man in cotton-padded clothes said in a deep voice.

“Okay, let’s hand over the money first.”

The bald waiter still went through the process, but he seemed to think that he couldn’t guess it and it was just a waste of time, so he called another waiter over.

The man in cotton-padded clothes handed over a tael of silver, and then took down the lantern riddle that both Chen Jiannan and Jing Zhe had guessed before but failed to guess.

Then, the man in cotton-padded clothes whispered to the waiter. The waiter was stunned and immediately called the bald waiter.

“What’s wrong?”

“He guessed it!”

“Huh?”

The bald waiter was also stunned.

But after hearing the answer from the man in cotton-padded clothes, I was convinced.

“Get him fifty taels of silver!”

After giving the instructions, the bald waiter announced: “You really can’t tell a person

by his appearance!” Because this lantern riddle was guessed, it was required to be announced for everyone to see. It is “the sun shines after a long rain”, which is a Chinese character.

Except for Jing Zhe and Chen Jiannan, no one guessed this lantern riddle before, because they thought they couldn’t guess it, and the others were also embarrassed, but they didn’t expect that such an inconspicuous man in cotton-padded clothes would guess it now.

But what is the beginning of sunshine after a long rain?

Because the time was short and everyone was thinking about it, the bald waiter announced: “The answer is the word “yesterday” for yesterday, and he guessed it right! Congratulations!” The

bald waiter was smiling but not smiling, obviously. Very dissatisfied with the loss of fifty taels of silver.

After everyone heard his answer, they were immediately relieved.

The word “yesterday” can be split into “Zha Ri”, which can be interpreted as “Zha Ri”, which is closely related to the meaning of “Long rain begins to clear”, so there is nothing wrong with this answer.

“It turns out it’s the word yesterday. It’s too simple!”

“Yeah, I guessed it as soon as he thought about

it just now!” “It’s a pity, it’s a pity, I might as well have guessed this just now!”

“No, I was too gullible to trust them two. He turned out to be such a useless guy!”

“…”

After the answer was announced in advance, everyone suddenly felt that the mystery was too simple, and then they began to despise Jing Zhe and Chen Jiannan, feeling that the level of the two people was too high. Too many times.

But the man in cotton-padded clothes was not idle at this time and continued to guess.

The second lantern riddle is still a crossword puzzle. The riddle is “A dragon and a phoenix are born from the same belly.” The twins are male and female, and male and female are children. Together they are “good”. The man in cotton clothes also guessed it.

Everyone was shocked.

But the man in cotton-padded clothes has already started the third lantern riddle. This time it is about guessing objects. The riddle is “five left hands, five left hands, take away ten, and there are ten left.” Guess an object that is used in daily life, then The man in the cotton coat wrote “gloves” without even thinking about it.

No doubt, right again!

At this time, no one dared to underestimate the man in cotton-padded clothes.

If the first one is fooled, and so is the second one, then if three consecutive guesses are correct, then it cannot be that he is fooled, right?

Especially when the man in cotton-padded clothes guessed these three, he almost didn’t even think about it and guessed right. This is his strength!

At this time, Zhou Ziqiong’s face turned a little pale.

Although the three lantern riddles cost seventy-five taels, it was not too much for Zhoujiabufang, but looking at his posture, it was more than just three guesses!

Sure enough, the man in cotton-padded clothes had already opened the fourth lantern riddle.

This time, the performance of the man in cotton-padded clothes was a bit more awkward than before. After opening the lantern riddle, he remained silent for a long time and his eyes were a little vacant. It didn’t look like he was thinking, but like he was reminiscing.

As time went by, there was more sweat on his head. What was strange was that the bald waiter didn’t know if he had forgotten this time, but he didn’t even want to start the countdown!

“Countdown!”

everyone reminded.

The bald waiter looked a little ugly, glared at the man in cotton-padded clothes, and then said: “Ten…nine…eight…”

Although the speed was very slow, the man in cotton-padded clothes became even more nervous.

Finally, he reached into his clothes and took out a piece of paper, took a look at it, and then put it back and said, “Share the joys and sorrows together!”

“That’s right!”

the bald waiter who stopped the countdown shouted excitedly.

It turns out that the lantern riddle this time is about guessing idioms. The answer is “candied coptis” and “share joys and sorrows” is the answer.

“…”

At this time, everyone was stunned, and then realized.

Their first impression was that the man in cotton-padded clothes didn’t look like a scholar, but rather like a servant. He had guessed the first few lantern riddles, but when it came to guessing the idioms, he couldn’t do it – or he forgot!

Because the way he took out the paper, took a look at it, and then said the answer immediately felt like cheating!

They seemed to smell a conspiracy!

Those who had just seen the man in cotton-padded clothes guess several lantern riddles in a row, thought it was too easy, and were still eager to try, gave up their thoughts at this moment.

I still sneered in my heart: How shameless! This man in cotton-padded clothes is obviously a stooge! Get the answers in advance, and then deliberately guess a few, just to trick them into continuing to guess!

Haha, you are such a shameless businessman!

…

And Zhou Ziqiong’s face turned even paler.

She also thought of what everyone thought of, but she knew that the man in cotton clothes was sent by Juxian Tower!

So she ran upstairs angrily, and rushed in without knocking on the door this time.

“Shopkeeper Hu, what do you mean?”

Zhou Ziqiong came in and started questioning.

“What’s wrong, Miss Zhou?”

“That person downstairs, don’t tell me that he has nothing to do with your Juxian Tower!”

“Yes, that person is my waiter.”

“…”

Zhou Ziqiong was momentarily stunned by Shopkeeper Hu’s honesty. I was speechless, not knowing what to say.

After calming down for a while, he said, “Shopkeeper Hu, are you being too unruly by doing this? Tell him all the riddles and then ask him to guess lantern riddles, are you deliberately trying to make us lose money?”

“No, no!”

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and waved his hand: “First of all, why don’t we follow the rules? Everything downstairs is done according to the rules! Besides, the waiter stopped working last night. As for the answer to this riddle, I suspect that he was peeping, but there is no evidence,

so he can only suffer a loss! Also, as long as he can guess it, we will also give him money, so Miss Zhou said that you should pay for it! This kind of talk is just nonsense! Could it be that we, Juxian Tower, can trick ourselves?”

After saying this, Shopkeeper Hu laughed.
