"Chief Shan! Are there lanterns in the academy tonight?"
At the end of the game, there was a note on Cheng Chumo's forehead. Taking advantage of the break in shuffling the cards, Li Tai raised his head, looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
"Of course there will be! Not only will there be lanterns, but there will also be lantern riddles! At five o'clock in the hour, the lantern riddle guessing officially begins!"
Li Zexuan nodded and replied.
"Lantern riddles? Are you writing a riddle on the lantern for people to guess?"
Li Tai was confused when he heard this.
Although lanterns were popular in the Tang Dynasty, lantern riddles had not yet appeared.
Lantern riddles are riddles written on colored lanterns. Riddles originated from Chinese folk oral riddles and were later processed into riddles by scholars. It has a long history in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "argot" or "obscure words" appeared. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it became a kind of written creation. During the Three Kingdoms era, riddles were popular, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that lantern riddles officially appeared. People tie puzzle strips to colorful lanterns for people to guess.
Li Zexuan nodded in approval and said: "Yes! This lantern riddle is a riddle written on the lanterns. Every time you guess a lantern correctly, you will get a small prize. After the lantern riddle activity is over, everyone can take the lanterns and go to the gentlemen to collect the prizes. Product! In addition, the three students who guess the most lantern riddles correctly tonight will also receive a special reward! Okay, okay! Mr. Mo will tell you the detailed rules later!"
Since the gentlemen of the academy "go to work" on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, those who are far away arrived at the academy in advance today. Otherwise, there would be no one to help organize such a grand lantern riddle guessing activity.
"What special reward?"
Cheng Chumo asked with gleaming eyes.
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "No matter what reward you get, what does it have to do with you?"
He didn't believe that this talented guy could take first place in guessing lantern riddles!
Feeling Li Zexuan's Hong Guoguo's contempt, Cheng Chumo said unconvinced: "Fuck! Chief Shan, what do you mean? Although my grades in every subject are not good, I am definitely better at riddles than Qingque, right? I've been playing with this since I was a child. Big, I’m tired of playing!”
I don’t know if this guy is bragging. The strange thing is that Li Tai didn’t refute, but Li Zexuan definitely didn’t believe this guy was evil. He curled his lips and said: "Okay! Just brag, you kid! You guys keep playing, I Go find Mr. Mo!"
………………………
At five o'clock in the morning, the lantern riddle guessing contest started on time.
There are five lantern squares set up in five different places in the academy, which is equivalent to dividing tonight's lantern riddle guessing activity into five teams. Students can choose a team at will for the lantern riddle guessing activity.
After all, there are still quite a lot of students in the academy at this time. If they were all put together, it would look very crowded.
In every lantern formation, there are more than a dozen gentlemen from the academy maintaining order and tallying the results. Li Zexuan’s previous statement that the top three with the best results will receive special rewards is not a lie. He really means that tonight Three special prizes are prepared!
"Two big pictures, two small pictures, type one word!"
Li Tai stared at a note under the lantern and murmured.
In fact, guessing lantern riddles is really not his strong point, because this thing is a bit similar to brain teasers, which requires a lot of imagination! Last year, when the Qiqu Pavilion first opened, he had just finished reading "Journey to the West" and excitedly wanted to conquer Li Zexuan and write it specifically for him.
At that time, Li Zexuan asked ten questions and claimed that if he could answer one of them correctly, he could go back with him and write for him for free for three years. But who knew that he failed to answer even one of the ten questions correctly, and was tortured to the point of being completely injured? His imagination is not big enough!
"Hey! This is the word Qin! Haha! Isn't this too simple?"
While Li Tai was frowning and thinking, Cheng Chumo's voice suddenly came from beside him, and his arrogant laughter immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wang Ji in the crowd laughed and said:
"Yo~! Not bad! I didn't expect someone to guess a lantern riddle correctly so quickly, and it was Cheng Chumo! Haha! One point for you!"
After that, he lowered his head and added one point to Cheng Chumo on the "little notebook".
Cheng Chumo laughed proudly and opened the next "level".
"You have face but no mouth, you have feet but no hands, you have food and wine. Beat a piece of furniture!"
"Hey! I got it!"
Cheng Chumo felt like a god was helping him tonight. As soon as he read the question of the next puzzle, he immediately shouted: "It's a table! Right? Mr. Wang?"
Wang Ji was surprised for a while, thinking that Cheng Chumo's grades were not very good, but how could he guess the lantern riddles like a child prodigy? The answer came by opening his mouth, and his accuracy was extremely high!
"That's right! It's the table! Cheng Chumo adds one more point!"
The students were in an uproar and cast surprised glances at Cheng Chumo. At the same time, they also sighed in their hearts that guessing lantern riddles was so interesting, much more interesting than simply guessing riddles!
"Ugly Cow, how can you guess so accurately? When did you become so powerful?"
Sun Zifan couldn't help but tugged on Cheng Chumo's arm and wondered for a while.
Cheng Chumo murmured, "Hey! Why else? Because I'm a genius!"
Sun Zifan rolled his eyes and almost vomited out his overnight meal, "Damn! Chu Mo, please stop bragging! You are the only genius, and your test scores are lower than mine every time! If you are a genius, then who am I? ? Tell the truth quickly, stop talking nonsense!"
Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed for a while. He scratched his head and told the truth: "Uh-huh! Actually, there are many puzzles here that I have seen before! My favorite thing to do at that time was guessing puzzles, and I even beat Changsun Chong with this. It’s a lot of money!”
Changsun Chong, who was guessing lantern riddles in another lantern square, couldn't help but sneeze.
Cheng Chumo continued to "break through" and his score soared. Li Tai followed Cheng Chumo and saw more. He also figured out some rules and solved more lantern riddles.
The rest of the students showed off their talents and talents, hoping to win more prizes. Some even wanted to compete for the top three to get the so-called "special rewards." The academy suddenly became a sea of joy, and the festive atmosphere was not even as bad as some places in Chang'an City!
An hour later, Li Zexuan announced that the lantern riddle activity was over.
Based on the number of lanterns they guessed, the students received prizes from the gentlemen of the academy one by one. The prizes were not anything valuable, they were just some wood carvings of small animals sold in the Wonder Pavilion. Compared with this, the students were more curious about what the special reward Li Zexuan was talking about.
Under the attention of everyone, Li Zexuan finally said loudly:
"Now let me announce the top three in this lantern riddle activity. The first place is Cheng Chumo; the second place is Li Yan; and the third place is Changsun Chong! These three students will receive the "Collection of Interesting Mathematical Problems" compiled by me personally. "One copy!"
"Pfft! Click~!"
This is the sound of vomiting blood and heartbreak...
