[Chapter 895 Chapter 906: The brave man spares his life (Second update please subscribe)]

Downstairs, the bald waiter had already collected Jing Zhe’s two thousand taels of silver notes and secretly winked at Jing Zhe.

Jing Zhe naturally “understood” and responded with the same look, as if to say, “Don’t worry, when I guess all of them correctly, you will be indispensable”!

The bald waiter nodded, but sneered in his heart: I’m afraid you won’t even have a place to cry later! But why does this silly boy have so much money? He has only been here for one day, and Juxian Tower has already received more than 2,200 taels of silver!

Hey, it would be nice to have more foreigners like this!

At this time, Jing Zhe, regardless of everyone’s dissuasion, looked at the two hundred lanterns, but still felt a little unfinished.

“Shopkeeper Hu, I only have two thousand taels of silver to guess 200 lantern riddles, which is a bit too little. Don’t you have any other lantern riddles in your Juxian Building? If there are, take them out and let me guess them all at once. It’s done, don’t worry, I’m not short of money, just pay for the lights!”

“…”

This guy is so stupid!

Two hundred is not enough compensation? Do you want to continue adding?

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned, then immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

“I haven’t seen such a cheerful and talented young master for a long time! Since the young master strongly demands it, I will definitely meet your conditions!”

Then he said seriously: “Although this lantern riddle guessing is done by our Juxian Tower and the Zhou family It is jointly organized by the Cloth Workshop, and both the profit and the money are the same, but these more than two hundred lantern riddles were created by Miss Zhou alone. This is unfair to our Juxian Tower.

It just so happens that I have also prepared it !

There are three hundred lantern riddles, and I am the only one who knows the answers. If you dare to guess, you don’t have to worry about others saying you’re cheating! I thought it wouldn’t be useful this time, but since you want to guess, I’ll give it to you, okay?

” Okay, that’s great!”

Jing Zhe clapped his hands and said excitedly.

“However, if we add three hundred lantern riddles, the lighting fee will not be three hundred taels, but five hundred taels!”

Shopkeeper Hu thought for a while and said.

My heart was full of joy: Since you want to pay, let me pay it all at once, and there will be no chance of recovery!

“No, sir! If you pay me another five hundred taels… we won’t even have the money to go back!”

“Women with long hair and short knowledge!”

Jing Zhe shook off Zhang Xiaoyu’s hand and said dissatisfied: “Five hundred lantern riddles You guessed it right, do you know how much money we can make? It will be enough to pay for going abroad every day!”

Jing Zhe took out a few more banknotes. , After scraping together, he finally collected five hundred taels. When everyone saw this, they knew that he had indeed taken out all his money, and they couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts: What is the difference between this and those gamblers who lose their money?

After paying 2,700 taels to turn on the lights, the proud Jing Zhe was ready to start guessing lantern riddles!

…

The people in Juxian Tower also have slightly different attitudes towards this matter.

First of all, there are the idle people around. Adhering to the principle of “it’s no big deal to watch the excitement”, they are relatively calm. If Jing Zhe guesses all of them correctly, they will shout “Wow!” “Tsk, tsk”, just eating melon!

The people in the box upstairs and Shopkeeper Hu were more excited.

What Shopkeeper Hu saw was a steady stream of money flowing into his pocket.

What the owner of Qujiazhuang saw was that Zhoujia Bufang was about to collapse, and their Qujia Buzhuang would take its place!

What Magistrate Liu saw was that the stupid boy was recruited into the Liu family after losing everything, and his girl Piaopiao’s life-long matter was solved, and he had nothing to worry about anymore!

What Prince Yu saw was that two beautiful beauties were soon to be his…

As for Zhou Ziqiong herself, although she felt that Jing Zhe was the one to blame for reaching this stage, she felt worried in her heart. At this time, she Then he went to see Zhang Xiaoyu and others.

I originally thought that they were more worried than me, but I never thought, why are they calm now and seem to have a smile on their lips?

Zhou Ziqiong’s mind became even more confused.

At this time, Liu Piaopiao, who weighed nearly 200 kilograms, came down from upstairs and walked to the opposite side of Jing Zhe. She looked at him happily, as if looking at the food on the plate. It seemed that as long as someone ordered, she could eat Jing Zhe in one bite. Going in…

Jing Zhe was secretly happy at first, but when she saw him like this, he immediately broke into a cold sweat!

Strong man, spare your life!

…

“Okay, let’s get started!”

At this time, Jing Zhe reached out and took down the note under a lantern. He only glanced at it and said one word in the bald waiter’s ear.

According to the rules of Juxian Tower, when guessing lantern riddles, you must whisper to the bald waiter that if you guess wrong, the riddle will be put back again. If you guess right, it will be announced.

After hearing what he said, the bald waiter’s eyes widened with disbelief.

The people around them were paying close attention to the two people’s movements, and naturally noticed the change in the bald waiter’s expression. Their eyes lit up: There seems to be something going on!

“Brother, are you right about this?”

“Yes… yes, the young master is amazing!”

“Okay, let’s read it again!”

So Jing Zhe gave the note to Chen Jiannan.

“The mystery is that three rivers overwhelm the mountain, and there is a Chinese character.”

Chen Jiannan closed the note and said with a smile: “Our young master’s answer is the word “dang”. Above the word “dang” is exactly three points of water, which corresponds to the “three waters” on the riddle, and below the three waters is a “mountain” crossing over. The word “overwhelming mountain” on the riddle is the answer! Master, the riddle is right!”

Chen Jiannan flattered him a little.

When everyone heard this, they all started talking.

“This lantern riddle is wonderful and right!”

“Well, but this lantern riddle is too simple!”

“Yeah, I was unlucky just now, why didn’t I choose this one?”

“…”

Whether it’s a lantern riddle or something else. No matter what the problem is, when you read the question against the answer, you will always have the illusion that “this question is really easy”, and even make you read it again compared with the answer, but once you are given a blank paper, it should not be Still not.

So Jing Zhe didn’t pay any attention to these guys showing off their superiority, but started the second course.

The second question was also a question about guessing Chinese characters. The riddle was “bite off the tail of an ox in one bite.” Jing Zhe guessed the word “gao”, which was exactly the answer.

This kind of question is indeed simpler than looking at the answer and then looking at the riddle. A group of people beat their chests and shouted, “This question is easy, I guess I am right.” Little did they know that among the people who shouted this, it happened that the person who just guessed this was The person who failed to guess the question!

When Jing Zhe guessed the first question, shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment. Then after hearing everyone’s analysis, he felt that the question was too simple and anyone could guess it right. It didn’t matter.

When Jing Zhe guessed another question, he continued to comfort himself. This question was also very simple. There were only two questions. He still made money…
