"Master Tao, why are you so nervous?"
Yan Qixiao looked at Tao An and said, "The so-called bet is just for fun, for everyone to watch and have fun."
"Stop pouring ecstasy soup on me."
Tao An knew that Yan Qi was secretive, so he asked nervously: "How do you want to bet first?"
"The rules are simple."
Yan Qidao: "My eldest young master and Mr. Tao are guessing a lantern riddle together. If one guesses it right, he or she will win. If both of them guess it right, whoever guesses it first will win. What do you think? Everyone, do you think it is fair and just? ?”
"The rules are simple and fair."
"It's very reasonable. In a word, the one who knows how to do it wins, and the one who knows how to do it quickly wins."
"Let's get started, we can't wait any longer."
…
Yan Qi shook his head: "Are you in a hurry? Hey, my eldest young master wants to start quickly, but you can see that Mr. Tao is still hesitant. Haha, he is probably timid and is afraid of my eldest young master's talent."
"Am I afraid? You, a little servant, really dare to speak arrogantly and ruin my reputation. I'll bet on you. There's nothing I dare not bet on."
Tao An is still thinking about whether there is something fishy about it.
But thinking about it, there is nothing inappropriate.
Being pushed away by Yan Qi, everyone started making noises, even if Tao An refused to agree.
Yan Qi snapped her fingers: "Master Tao agreed, that's great. Next, let's talk about how much gambling money we will give."
Tao An casually took out five hundred taels of silver notes.
Over there, Yan Qi stretched out his hand and took out two thousand taels of silver notes.
"Mr. Tao, you took out five hundred taels for one game? Who is my eldest young master? He is a well-known rich man. Five hundred taels is considered money in the eyes of my eldest young master? Who are you trying to make fun of?" What’s the matter, your house is out of oil for cooking?”
day!
Tao An is so angry.
Is five hundred taels too little? Isn't it just a lantern riddle?
But everyone saw in their eyes that he could not weaken Yan Qi's limelight, so he had no choice but to make up for it to two thousand taels.
Yan Qi nodded: "Very good, let's start guessing the lantern riddles."
"Wait!"
Tao An said: "I have a request. In order to prevent cheating, Yan Qi and Lin Ruoshan, neither of you can touch the lantern riddles, and neither can I."
"this is a good idea!"
Yan Qi waved to Xiaocui on the side: "Miss Xiaocui, how about you be the dealer and help us get the lantern riddles? If my eldest young master wins, you will definitely get the jackpot."
"It is Xiaocui's honor to be the dealer for Mr. Lin and Mr. Tao."
Xiaocui took the bamboo pole, picked up a lantern, and took out the riddle.
Tao An was extremely nervous and raised his ears, fearing that he could not hear clearly.
Xiaocui held the riddle and read out clearly: "It's round when you draw it, and it's square when you write it. It's warm when you're doing it, but it's cold when you're not. Type a word!"
Tao An winked at the few friends around him, asking them to help him think, and he himself fell into deep thought.
Everyone was also talking about it.
"When you draw, it's round, when you write, it's square. What the hell is this?"
"It's warm but not cold? I don't understand."
"Everyone, please stop guessing. With our IQ and knowledge, how can we guess the lantern riddles in Chenxiang Pavilion? Let's just watch the fun."
Lin Ruoshan didn't even think about it and winked at Yan Qi: "Brother Yan, what's the answer to the mystery? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
Depend on!
This young master is just a freeloader, so why don't you pretend to make a guess?
I'm convinced too!
Yan Qi walked over and secretly wrote a word on Lin Ruoshan's back.
"I see!"
Lin Ruoshan was overjoyed: "Brother Yan, how did your head grow? It's different from mine. How can you solve such a difficult mystery without even thinking about it?"
Yan Qi said, "This has been a long time."
Lin Ruoshan was very angry: "You talk like this, you have no friends."
Yan Qi laughed.
Guessing riddles tests your wits and life experience.
As the chief strategic think tank of the China Alliance, guessing a lantern riddle is not overkill. It is as simple as using a supercomputer to calculate how much one plus one equals.
Lin Ruoshan said that he did not recognize Yan Qi as a friend, but he was happy in his heart.
With Yan Qi, I am not afraid of anyone.
He held his chest high, his head high, and he opened his mouth to tell the answer to the riddle.
I thought beautifully in my heart: I can be awesome once.
"Young master, please bear with me for now!"
Yan Qi shook his head, with a bad smile on his face: "Don't tell the answer in such a hurry. At least give Tao An a little fantasy, so that he can take a long-term view and catch big fish. If he tells it in a hurry, it will become a one-shot deal. ”
"rational!"
Lin Ruoshan held back his energy, with a mischievous smile on his face, and stared at Tao An, who was frowning in deep thought: "You are paralyzed, think slowly, I will give you a chance."
Tao An also has some real talents and learning.
However, the answer to this mystery was indeed somewhat difficult, and I had no idea for a while.
After holding in his breath for half a stick of incense, Tao An suddenly had an idea and burst into laughter.
"Yes, yes, I have figured out the answer to the riddle."
Tao An laughed and danced: "The answer is..."
"day!"
Lin Ruoshan blurted out and yelled out the answer before Tao An could.
Guessing lantern riddles is like this. When trying to guess, it is as difficult as trying to break your head. As soon as you say it, you suddenly realize: is it that simple?
ah?
Lin Ruoshan danced and was about to say the word "日", but unexpectedly, Lin Ruoshan cut her off.
He was twisting his waist and swaying his tail, playing the guitar with great energy.
Suddenly hearing the word '日', my body tilted and I almost doubled over.
Paralyzed, if you don't play with people like this, you're a little faster than me.
Tao An almost cried.
Xiao Cui announced in a sweet voice: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, for guessing the answer to the riddle first. Mr. Tao, you are only a little late, which is a pity."
Tao An was very upset: Why are you so numb, why are you so late than Lin Ruoshan? Infuriating.
Everyone applauded Lin Ruoshan.
"Young Master Lin is so powerful. He deserves to be the son of Lin Yixuan, a great scholar. I admire his talent."
"It seems that Mr. Lin is better than Mr. Tao."
"That is, in terms of talent and learning, Mr. Tao is still not as good as Mr. Lin."
Tao An was very depressed after hearing this.
The opportunity that was clearly available to me just slipped away.
Yan Qi 'consoled' Tao An on the side: "Master Tao, you are also very good. You guessed the answer to the riddle, but it is a pity that you are a little slower than my young master. However, this also shows that my young master has the upper hand over you." of."
The man was still flapping the banknotes back and forth in his hand, listening to the clattering sound of the banknotes, and said with a smile: "The young master is still very good. Just guess the lantern riddle and you will get two thousand taels of silver. Mr. Tao, thank you for your silver." ticket."
This is not to comfort Tao An, he is clearly looking for trouble.
Tao An was very dissatisfied, his face turned red and he said loudly: "I'm not convinced, Lin Ruoshan, I want to compete with you again."
"You want to compete with my eldest young master?"
Yan Qi said: "Have you thought about what you will do if you lose again?"
"I have plenty of money, why are I afraid of losing?"
Tao An took the risk and threw out five thousand taels of silver notes: "This time the bet is increased, it's five thousand taels. Lin Ruoshan, do you dare?"
Yan Qi and Lin Ruoshan looked at each other and smiled, holding back an unspeakable evil feeling.
"Hehe, Tao An really took the bait..."
