"Xiao...I'm a little nervous...Why don't I forget it..."
On the stage, Zhu Ningyun had been hiding behind Li Xiao, feeling a little restless.
After all, he has not left the house for many years and has not communicated with outsiders.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t nervous when I suddenly faced so many people.
Li Xiao held his hand tightly and could already feel the sweat on her palms.
But at this time, we must not be weak or retreat.
Once he shrinks back, I'm afraid Zhu Ningyun will be afraid when seeing many people in the future.
Fight him to the end.
As the saying goes, strong medicine is needed for severe cases.
After this battle,
Ningyun should be able to completely get out of the psychological shadow and no longer fear the eyes of others.
In addition, Li Xiao wants to stand firm in Ningyun's heart.
Li Xiao wants her to know——
As long as he, Li Xiao, is here, even if the sky falls, he will still hold up!
This is the sense of security that men bring to women!
Must stand up! !
He looked at Zhu Ningyun gently and said: "Ningyun, I'm here! If the sky falls, I'll hold you up! Don't worry, I'll do everything!"
Looking at Li Xiao's firm eyes, Zhu Ningyun felt a lot more at ease.
"Well, I'm not so scared anymore..."
The other side.
The shopkeeper of Jin Fengluan has already begun to announce the lantern riddles and their answers.
They arranged for people to write the lantern riddles on a large piece of paper for the people present to watch.
"Here is our lantern riddle, please take a look..."
"It's not black, it's not white, it's even less red and yellow. It's like a fox, wolf, cat or dog, neither a domestic animal nor a wild beast."
"There are also poems, lyrics, and the Analects of Confucius. It is vague about east, west, south, and north. Although it is a short piece, it is a wonderful article."
As soon as this question came up.
Everyone present saw it clearly and felt the difficulty of the questions.
The people on the periphery made secret guesses, but they couldn't figure it out.
"This question... is so difficult!"
"It's really difficult... Isn't it really a lantern riddle with no answer?"
"I have never seen such a difficult lantern riddle... This must be too difficult..."
Just as everyone was talking.
Shopkeeper Jin Fengluan announced the answer to the mystery again.
"Look, everyone, this is the answer to the mystery."
"Everyone asked, is this reasonable?"
The shopkeeper said loudly, pointing to the paper with the answer to the riddle on the side.
There were two big words written on the paper: Guessing.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
This question is really interesting. The question is the guessing itself.
The answer...is really a very reasonable answer!
This kind of topic is something that no one can think of even if they try hard to figure it out.
But only once the answer is revealed.
Everyone becomes an afterthought and suddenly realizes...
Damn it,
It turns out to be so simple, why didn’t you think of it just now?
It's like a layer of window paper. Once it's broken, there's no mystery.
"This is a wonderful question...the answer is the riddle itself."
"It's so simple, why didn't I think of it just now?"
"It's so simple, you only have the benefit of hindsight."
"There is no problem with this question. This is indeed the answer!"
"The two young men on the stage are amazing...they can guess such difficult questions..."
Not only the common people, but also the scholars agreed after seeing the answer to the riddle.
But at this time.
The scholar named Zhang Haoxuan was not so calm.
The face was slapped...
Scholars all have some good face.
Not to mention that he was Jieyuan in the provincial examination, so he was very embarrassed in front of thousands of people.
His eyes were glazed over, and he was already a little confused...
"How is it? Zhang Jieyuan. If there is any problem with our lantern riddles, everyone's eyes are sharp."
Shopkeeper Jin Fengluan looked at him with disdain: "Is it time to be convinced now?"
Zhang Haoxuan was completely speechless.
He felt that there were countless gazes around him, piercing him like swords, making him feel like a gleam on his back.
"no no...."
Suddenly his mind lit up and he thought of a way to defend himself.
He said loudly: "You are talking about the problem itself. We are not talking about this problem at all. What I am saying is that your organizer arranged for people to get the lottery by themselves, saving the lottery money. Yes...it is fraud!"
He said that it made more sense and continued: "Since it is an internal agent, no matter how strange the riddle is, it doesn't matter if the internal agent knows the answer to the riddle in advance!"
"You are slandering! We have no acquaintance with the people in our store and on the stage."
Shopkeeper Jin Fengluan's temper also rose. He didn't bother to waste any more words and just waved his hand: "Come here, take this troublemaker out of the way and remove him from the competition!"
The words fell.
The guys from Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop gathered around.
Prepare to take out this troublesome young man.
After all, if this continues, the store's reputation will be ruined.
After spending so much money on the lantern festival, wouldn’t a good thing turn into a bad thing?
Zhang Haoxuan became a little anxious when he saw this scene.
Jieyuan, who had passed the provincial examination with great dignity, was thrown out in public.
If word gets out about this, how will you continue to mess around in the future?
That’s really embarrassing!
"Who dares to touch me!"
Zhang Haoxuan said angrily: "My father is the magistrate of Dong'an County, and I, Zhang Haoxuan, am a registered scholar and have a good reputation!"
"You can't punish a doctor! According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, even a subordinate can't arrest me without reason!"
"You bunch of evil slaves dare to bully others. Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Those guys who were originally aggressive stopped.
If they were ordinary people, they would naturally have no scruples.
But this guy does have a reputation!
My father is still the magistrate of Dong'an County...
The shopkeeper was slightly startled. He only knew that he was Jieyuan from the provincial examination, and it turned out that he had some minor background.
But... when it comes to this, the shopkeeper is not willing to give in.
After all, there is still a big backer behind Jin Fengluan.
Of course, the shopkeeper softened his attitude and said:
"Since you are the son of Zhang Zhixian, you should know that our century-old Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop will not do such disgraceful things."
"Sir, you'd better please come back. I'll see you off."
Originally it was considered a small step down.
After all, just now I was planning to have people forked out, and now I am sending people out.
Face-wise, it's also much better.
If this Zhang Haoxuan could bear his anger for a while, this matter would be over.
But these words fell on Zhang Haoxuan's ears, and they immediately made him unhappy.
He even mentioned his father's name.
Why, you still have to leave?
Although it wasn't forked out, what's the difference?
With so many classmates, classmates, and friends present watching, would I still have the face to say hello to them in the future?
"Okay! Okay! Your Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop is bullying others!"
"I have a great reputation, but you, a merchant, dare to let me out. Come and see, what kind of world is this!"
Zhang Haoxuan was completely crazy. He pointed at Li Xiao and Li Xiao on the stage and shouted:
"I see that you are in a hurry to drive me out because you are afraid of exposing the truth."
"The two people on the stand were arranged by you, Jin Fengluan."
"The woman wore a bamboo hat and covered her face with white gauze, so as not to show her true face."
"I noticed just now that the man never guessed the riddle. It was the woman who always guessed the riddle."
"I'm afraid that hidden inside her bamboo hat is the answer to the lantern riddle, which was provided by you, Jin Fengluan."
The more he spoke, the more excited he became:
"If you have a clear conscience, let the woman take off the hat and let everyone see if there are any cheat sheets inside, otherwise I, Zhang Haoxuan, will be the first to refuse!"
Zhang Haoxuan's remarks pointed the finger at Zhu Ningyun on the stage.
Ask her to take off her veil in public...
The words fell.
The onlookers all looked towards the stage.
Zhu Ningyun felt these gazes and backed away behind Li Xiao in fear.
Asking Zhu Ningyun to take off her veil in public was even more uncomfortable than killing her.
The wind suddenly became louder.
The entire venue suddenly became silent.
The storm is coming!
Anger, like a roaring dragon, is constantly accumulating, accumulating strength, and finally explodes!
"court death!"
Li Xiao is angry, Zhu Gaoxu is angry, Zhu Di is angry!
Three roars came from different places at the same time!
