Lin Quqi was a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, so Lin Feimo could naturally recognize him at a glance.
As a Jiangnan scholar, I am proud to be mixed up with a playboy like Qin Feng. I have completely lost the face of a Jiangnan scholar!
Facing Lin Feimo's sarcasm, Lin Quqi remained as humble as ever. He cupped his hand and said lightly, "Brother Qin has always been a great talent. Lin and Brother Qin hit it off right away. Why is there such a shame?"
Hearing this, Lin Feimo's eyes became even more contemptuous: "Great talent? Haha! If Qin Feng is really a great talent, how can this little lantern riddle trouble him? What does it mean when shrimps are playing in the water of mountains and streams on all sides? If Qin Feng answers If he doesn’t come out, it’s okay for you to answer for him. I’m afraid that people of the same species flock together and things are divided into groups, and they are all just people who are seeking fame and reputation.”
A flash of discomfort flashed across Lin Quqi's face.
He really couldn't answer this lantern riddle for a while, so he couldn't help but look at Qin Feng, who was making jokes with the three ladies.
The attention of everyone at the scene was naturally focused on Qin Feng.
There is no doubt about Qin Feng's poetic attainments.
But poetry and lantern riddles are very different.
Moreover, the lantern viewing party is an annual event. As a dandy in the capital, Qin Feng cannot be absent, and therefore makes many jokes.
Because of Qin Feng's past "great achievements" and because the riddle was too difficult, all the guests present were not optimistic about Qin Feng.
Several disciples who had admired Liu Hongyan and Shen Qingci for a long time began to ridicule Qin Feng loudly in order to attract the attention of the two girls.
"Qin Feng, can you do it? If you can't, just admit defeat quickly and don't waste everyone's time!"
"Hehehe, Master Qin, I advise you to stop struggling. There is no shame in losing to Mr. Lin!"
Seeing that Qin Feng was only focused on flattering his three sisters and seemed to have forgotten about the competition, Princess Qiyang immediately urged him impatiently: "Qin Feng, don't delay! Otherwise, I will directly sentence you to lose!"
Just when people at the scene kept urging, directly judging Qin Feng to lose, and rushing to the next competition, Qin Feng finally settled the three sisters in the position with the best view, and then swayed onto the deck and watched The puzzle surrounded by lights on the boat opposite smiled slightly.
"Surrounded by mountains and rivers, shrimps are playing in the water? Isn't it too simple? I thought, you have been preparing for so long, how difficult the questions will be. It seems that I overestimated you..."
Simple?
These words instantly offended everyone present!
If you can't even answer such a simple riddle, aren't everyone here stupid?
Under the gaze of countless disdainful eyes, Qin Feng clasped his hands behind his back, imitating Lin Quqi's literati style, shook his head and said: "This question is about guessing words!"
"Simianshanxi Shrimp is playing in the water. You need to take it apart and look at it. Simianshanxi refers to the word 'field', and the shape of the shrimp is like a lying hook. Playing in the water means the three points of water next to the lying hook."
"So, the answer is the word 'thinking'!"
The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
The eyes of everyone looking at Qin Feng changed again and again. What was shocking was not that Qin Feng guessed the answer to the riddle, but that he guessed too easily!
The answer that they were scratching their heads and couldn't figure out was easily guessed by a famous playboy?
The literati present began to think about it.
The whole boat echoed with various whispers.
"Surrounded by mountains and streams, shrimps are playing in the water, which corresponds to the word 'thinking'. Don't tell me...it's really like that!"
"Strange! Qin Feng participated in the previous lantern appreciation festivals and couldn't even guess the simplest lantern riddles. Why is he so smart now?"
"Guessing lantern riddles requires not only a flexible mind, but also extensive experience. And... the answer range is so wide, how does Qin Feng know that it is a guess and not something else?"
Everyone was puzzled.
As everyone knows, for Qin Feng, this lantern riddle is at the level of a primary school student at best.
The types of lantern riddles are nothing more than "characters, objects, animals, plants, place names, people's names" and so on.
In ancient times, lantern riddles mainly focused on guessing "characters".
And according to the rules of lantern riddles, since "mountains and streams on all sides" and "shrimp" appear in the title, the answer cannot be related to aquatic animals or place names, and the scope of the answer can be further narrowed.
In addition, the ancients' knowledge of animals, plants and objects was extremely limited. Qin Feng searched through what he knew and found that there was nothing suitable, so naturally only the words were left.
And the word "thinking" happens to be the optimal solution!
Qin Feng looked at Lin Feimo with a smile: "Master Lin, if the lantern riddles you prepared are of this level, I don't mind giving you a few to prevent you from losing too ugly, in case there is a 7 to 0 result. As a result, how will you mess around when you return to Jiangnan in the future?"
Lin Feimo's face turned red and white.
He never dreamed that Qin Feng could solve the lantern riddle he carefully prepared so easily.
Seeing Qin Feng's crazy face, Lin Feimo's chest felt tight, but there was nothing he could do about him.
Lin Feimo gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Don't be happy too early!"
Princess Qiyang looked at Qin Feng with a complicated expression, but after all, it was only the first question, and the outcome was not yet known, so she pretended to be calm and said: "Qin Feng won the first question, please prepare the second question. "
Qin Feng, who had read countless brain teasers and riddles, took the pen and paper, brushed it a few times, and threw the question to Mr. Turtle without even thinking about it.
Just as Huafang was preparing for the second question, four people stood on a tower a few hundred feet away from Mingyue Lake.
Wearing a yellow gown and disguise, Emperor Liang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the banner on the lake with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "A lantern riddle of this difficulty is not difficult for Qin Feng'er at all. Surrounded by mountains and streams, shrimps are playing in the water. It refers to the word 'thinking'."
As soon as he said this, Ning Guogong Xie Bi, who was waiting next to him, lowered his head and thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Isn't it just the word 'thinking'? He is indeed a saint. A small riddle can be solved with a snap of the fingers."
Xie Bi was anything but flattery.
After all, as a martial artist, Xie Bi was really not good at literati stuff like guessing lantern riddles.
Li Zhan, with a smile on his face, spared no effort to praise: "Even the Beidi War, which has troubled Daliang for several generations, has been solved due to the wise and powerful decisions of the saints. How can this little riddle be related to the great events of the country? Compare?"
While Xie Bi and Li Zhan continued to flatter Emperor Liang, Xie Yun'er, who was accompanying them, looked towards Mingyue Lake and fell into deep thought.
Today, Qin Feng's beating of Lin Feimo has spread in Kyoto.
Some good people, fearing that the world will not be in chaos, will add fuel to the flames and claim that the feud between the Qin and Lin families has rekindled!
What's more, he said that Qin Feng was so arrogant that he didn't even look down on the current imperial concubine.
Such remarks will inevitably make those enemies dormant in the dark wait for the opportunity to act, and may even form an alliance to deal with the Qin family together.
The peaceful days of the Qin family are all just an illusion!
The undercurrent is surging, and waves have arisen!
As long as the war in Beidi is settled, the Qin family will be attacked in groups!
The Qin and Xie families have been married, how will the Xie family deal with themselves then?
Xie Yun'er secretly sighed in his heart: "Qin Feng, Qin Feng, will you die if you just calm down for a while? It's not good to offend anyone in the world, but you will offend the Lin family!"
