Chapter 25 Brain teasers
"This game is actually very simple," Hu Yimeng looked at Mr. Wang with a smile and said, "It's called a 'brain teaser', that is, one person gives the mystery and the other person guesses. If he can't guess, he will be fined a glass of wine."
"What kind of game do I think I think is, but it's just a guessing? I can play such a simple game at the age of four or five. Do you still want to defeat me?" Mr. Wang shook his head carelessly and said.
"This 'brain teasers' can indeed be regarded as a kind of guessing riddles, but I have to make it clear to you first that this 'brain teasers' is different from ordinary guessing, and its answers are often beyond people's conventional thinking." Hu Yimeng continued to explain.
"It doesn't matter, I don't believe that I will lose to you with my wisdom!" Mr. Wang waved his hand and asked the maids around him to fill the three of wine.
"Well, since Mr. Wang said so, let's start playing this 'brain warp' game." Hu Yimeng smiled and said, "I'll ask the first question first. If Mr. Wang can't hit it, he will be punished for a glass of wine."
"Let's solve the question." Mr. Wang took out a folding fan and fanned himself. There was a disapproving light in his eyes.
"In that case, Mr. Wang, please listen to the topic. One day, Xiao Chen passed a bridge with a sign saying 'No crossing the bridge'. But he still passed by the bridge. Why is that?
"This little Chen Ding is a dignitary. May I ask if there is any other place in the world that dignitaries can't go?" Mr. Wang didn't want to blurt out directly.
"Ha ha, Mr. Wang, you answered this question wrong. Please have a drink." Hu Yimeng picked up the wine in front of Mr. Wang and handed it to his mouth and said.
"Wrong? So what's the answer?" Mr. Wang asked unrewishly.
"This little Chen Mingming saw a 'not allowed to cross the bridge' sign on the bridge and passed by. It should be because this bridge is called 'not allowed to cross'." Lianqin thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, the answer is that this bridge is called 'not allowed to pass'!" Hu Yimeng nodded to Lianqin.
"How can there be a bridge called 'No Crossing'?" Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and said.
"Prince Wang, as I said just now, the game we play is called 'brain teasers', and the answer is that we can't think in a conventional way. So if you are willing to bet and lose, you can drink this wine. Hu Yimeng said leisurely with a glass.
I can't help it. Hu Yimeng had already explained the rules of the game to Mr. Wang before the game began, but he still thought about this question in his usual way. Naturally, he couldn't think of the correct answer.
Although Mr. Wang was annoyed, he turned his eyes and came up with a question to embarrass Hu Yimeng and Lianqin, so he took the wine glass handed over by Hu Yimeng and drank all the wine in the glass in one breath.
Put down the cup, Mr. Wang immediately said, "Now it's my turn to answer the question."
"Faun, please answer the question." Lianqin and Hu Yimeng both smiled.
"There is a master who is good at martial arts. He went out without any rainproof equipment on rainy days. His whole body was wet, but his hair was not wet at all. Why?" Mr. Wang is a very smart and cunning person. After suffering a loss, he has understood that the test of this game is not how much knowledge he has, but whether his brain can turn around quickly. The questions do not need to be too difficult and profound, but he must break the conventional way of thinking.
After giving the riddle, Mr. Wang smiled with a frivolous smile at the corners of his mouth, waiting to see Hu Yimeng and Lianqin anxiously.
After listening to the riddle given by Mr. Wang, Hu Yimeng began to think, what would happen if a person did not bring any rain-proof equipment and his body was wet but his hair was dry? Isn't he wearing a wig? No, no, there is no such thing as a wig in this era.
Suddenly, there was a flash in her mind. For, if there was no hair, the hair would naturally not be wet!
"This man is a monk or bald. If he doesn't have hair, his hair will naturally not get wet by the rain." Hu Yimeng replied.
"Uh..." Hearing Hu Yimeng's answer, Mr. Wang was stunned. He didn't expect his problem to be solved by Hu Yimeng so easily.
"Prince Wang, is this answer correct?" Seeing the expression on Mr. Wang's face, Hu Yimeng knew that she had answered correctly. She asked Mr. Wang with a smile.
"You guessed it right." Mr. Wang didn't let Hu Yimeng urge him this time. He consciously picked up the glass in front of him and drank all the wine in the glass.
"Come again!" Mr. Wang patted the table and said.
"My son, this time I asked you to ask you to guess a question by changing Lianqin. Do you think it's okay?" Lianqin filled Mr. Wang's empty glass with wine and said softly.
"Okay, okay, Lianqin came up with a question, and I will definitely answer it correctly this time!" Mr. Wang was fascinated to touch the little hand of Lianqin.
Lianqin turned her wrist, picked up the red sandalwood chopsticks on the table, picked up a chopstick for Mr. Wang and put it on the plate in front of him, and gently persuaded him to eat vegetables.
Mr. Wang stretched out half of his hand and had to take it back, picked up the salted crispy pig's trotter that Lianqin put on his plate and ate it.
"Prince Wang, the puzzle of Lianqin is: three people are called 'Zhong', three wood is called 'Sen', three water is called 'Miao', and what are the three ghosts called?"
Hearing Lianqin's gentle and gentle voice, Mr. Wang's body immediately became half crisp, and there was no intention to think about problems. For him, losing is just drinking a glass of wine. If you can't answer this question, you can't answer it.
"What's your name?" Mr. Wang stared at Lianqin and didn't have time to answer questions at all.
"Of course it's called help." Hu Yimeng covered her lips and smiled. She pointed to the cup in front of Mr. Wang and shouted in a delicate voice, "You should be punished for drinking~"
"Good, fine, fine wine." Mr. Wang picked up the glass and drank another glass of wine.
"This question is from Lianqin, but the prince drank Yimeng's wine. Lianqin doesn't follow it. The prince has to drink Lianqin." As Lianqin spoke, she filled the glass that Mr. Wang had just emptied.
"Haha, Lianqin is jealous. The old man drank the wine, haha..." When Mr. Wang saw that Lianqin poured wine for him an anger and was happy for Bo Meiren, he immediately picked up the glass and drank the wine in the glass.
Next, Hu Yimeng and Lianqin thought of a way to coax Mr. Wang to drink. Gradually, Mr. Wang's eyes became more and more blurred, with a big tongue, and they couldn't speak clearly.
At this time, the painting ship unconsciously drove near the broken love bridge with the best lotus flowers in the East Lake.
The Broken Love Bridge is built in the narrowest part of the East Lake. The bridge is 30 to 40 feet long and 2 to 3 feet wide, as if a jade belt is tied to the slender waist of the East Lake. Every summer, the wind and lotus on all sides are blowing, and the lotus flowers of a lake are compared to this place. Clear lotus leaves, pink lotus flowers. The cool breeze comes to my face with bursts of lotus fragrance.
This bridge was not originally called Broken Love Bridge, but East Lake Bridge. It is said that there is still an allusion about why the bridge was renamed Broken Love Bridge. It is said that there was a famous prostitute in the previous dynasty, countless princes and nobles, rich and giants were obsessed with it, but the famous prostitute fell in love with a poor scholar and took out all his savings for him to go to Beijing for the exam. Unexpectedly, the scholar married a princess after the top student in high school. The famous prostitute threw herself to the lake on the bridge in frustration. Countless literati Moke felt sorry for his poor life and hated the unrighteousness of scholars, so they named this bridge Broken Love Bridge.
At this time, Shen Qingxi accompanied Beichen Yeli and swam here on the painting.
Shen Qingxi excitedly told Beichen Yeli the origin of the name of the Broken Love Bridge.
Beichen Yeli stood in the bow of the boat and looked at the broken love bridge not far away, which was like a jade belt to communicate on both sides of the East Lake. There was a sarcastic smile on the corners of his mouth, and his handsome eyes narrowed slightly.
He did not sympathize with the experience of the famous prostitute of the former dynasty. In his opinion, if a person forgets his own character, it is naturally not far from death. The prostitute has been wandering in the wind and moon field for so many years but still can't see through a word of love. If he meets a bad person, he deserves it, and it is even more stupid to die. This story never mentions what happened to the scholar later. It can be seen that her death is even more insignificant to the scholar. Even if she died, she could not leave anything in the scholar's heart. It's really ridiculous.
"Master?" After telling the allusion of the origin of the name of the broken love bridge, Beichen Yeli looked like a smile, and Shen Qingxi's heart suddenly felt a little up and down. Naturally, the master's mind is not something that these slaves can speculate about, but if they don't know the master's thoughts at all, it is not far from being abandoned and executed.
Shen Qingxi is naturally not a fool. Although he doesn't know what Beichen Yeli is thinking at this moment, he can vaguely feel that it is related to the allusion he just said. He couldn't help but ooze layers of sweat behind him.
A breeze blew, sending bursts of coolness to eliminate the summer heat.
The green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers sticking out of the water gently sway with the breeze.
Beichen Yeli, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood quietly in the bow of the ship. His long black hair was only rolled up with a jade hairpin. The breeze blew his wide sleeves and hem, and in silence, it seemed that he was about to feather and ascend to immortality.
Hearing Shen Qingxi's voice calling for himself, Beichen Yeli waved his hand to signal him not to speak.
Shen Qingxi had to continue to accompany his master in a cold sweat and wait for dispatch at any time.
Beichenye saw the prosperity and geographical danger of Tianji City on this road, which also intensified his desire to weaken the power of the Wang family in Tianji City. He can no longer let them continue to be dominant here, otherwise it will not take long for Tianji City to form a power to compete with the imperial capital and his Beichen family. At that time, if the Wang family divides one side in this Tianji City to compete with the imperial capital, it will be extremely unfavorable to both the State of Yu and him.
Especially now, the people of the Wang family not only hold important positions in the court and the harem, but also use their authority to collect and collect money in transportation, taxation and other aspects, enriching his small treasury of the Wang family! And all this happened under the eyes of him, the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom. If he doesn't restrain the power of the Wang family, I'm afraid he will really be robbed of the dragon chair and the head that day.
