Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1188: Shangyuan Night!

? "Mountain Chang! Is there a lantern in the Academy tonight?"

At the end of the game, a note was added to Cheng Chumo's forehead. Taking advantage of the shuffle, Li Tai looked up and asked Li Zexuan.

"Of course there will be! Not only lanterns, but also lantern riddles! It's five quarters to the hour, the lantern riddle guessing officially begins!"

Li Zexuan nodded and turned back.

"Riddles? Is it to write a riddle on the lantern for people to guess?"

Li Tai was puzzled upon hearing this.

Although lanterns were popular in the Tang Dynasty, lantern riddles have not yet appeared.

Lantern riddles are riddles written on colored lanterns. The riddles originate from Chinese folk oral riddles, which were processed into riddles by the literati. It has a long history in China. In the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, "hidden words" or "ci" appeared. In the Qin and Han Dynasties it became a kind of written creation. During the Three Kingdoms period, riddles were popular, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that lantern riddles officially appeared. People tie the riddle to the colorful lantern for people to guess and shoot.

Li Zexuan nodded and applauded: "Yes! This lantern riddle is a riddle written on the lantern. Every time you guess a lantern correctly, you will get a small prize. After the lantern riddle activity is over, everyone can hold the lantern and go to your husband. We receive the prizes! In addition, the three students who guessed the most correct lantern riddles tonight will receive a special reward! That's it! The detailed rules, Mr. Ermo will tell you once!"

Since the gentlemen of the academy are "going to work" on the 16th day of the first lunar month, those who are far away will arrive at the academy ahead of schedule today. Otherwise, there is really no one to help organize such a grand riddle guessing activity.

"What special reward?"

Cheng Chumo asked with his eyes lit up.

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes, and said in a bad mood: "No matter what rewards, what does it have to do with you?"

He doesn't believe that this lantern riddle guessing can get the first place!

Feeling Li Zexuan's contempt for Hong Guoguo, Cheng Chu was unconvinced and said: "Damn! What do you mean, Shanchang? Although my grades in every subject are not good, but the riddle is definitely better than Qingque? This thing I grew up. I'm tired of playing after all the fun!"

I don’t know if this rammer is bragging. It’s strange that Li Tai didn’t refute it, but Li Zexuan must not believe in the evil of this product. He curled his lips and said, “Okay! You kid just blow it! Play, I'm going to find Mr. Mo!"

……………………………

At five o'clock in the unitary hour, the lantern riddle guessing contest started on time.

Five lantern squares have been set up in five different places in the college, which is equivalent to dividing the lantern riddle guessing activity tonight into five teams. Students can choose a team at will.

After all, there are still a lot of students in the college at this time. If they are all put together, it will be very crowded.

In every lantern phalanx, there are a dozen college gentlemen who are maintaining order and counting their results. Li Zexuan said that the top three with the best results have special rewards and it’s not bluffing, he is true Three special prizes are prepared for tonight!

"Two pictures are big and two are small, type one word!"

Li Tai stared at a note under the lantern and muttered.

In fact, guessing lantern riddles is really not his strong point, because this thing is a bit like a brain teaser, and it requires a lot of brain power! Last year, when Qiqu Pavilion was first opened, he just finished reading "Journey to the West" and eagerly wanted to subdue Li Zexuan and write it specifically for him.

At that time, Li Zexuan asked ten questions, claiming that if he could answer one of them correctly, he could go back with him and write for him for three years for free. But who knew that he didn’t answer any of the ten questions correctly, and he was abused. , Just because his brain is not big enough!

"Hey! This is a Qin character! Haha! Isn't this too simple?"

While Li Tai frowned and meditated, Cheng Chumo's voice suddenly came from his side. This wild laughter immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wang Ji in the crowd laughed and said:

"Yo~! Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect someone to guess a lantern riddle so quickly, and it was Cheng Chumo! Haha! You get a point!"

After all, he bowed his head and silently added a point to Cheng Chu on "Small Book".

Cheng Chu silently laughed and opened the next "level".

"There are noodles but no mouth, feet but hands, and good food and wine. Hit a piece of furniture!"

"Hey! I have it!"

Cheng Chumo is tonight if there is a divine help. Just after reading the next puzzle, he immediately shouted: "It's the table! Isn't it? Mr. Wang?"

Wang Ji was surprised. He said that Cheng Chumo's usual grades were not good. How to guess lantern riddles is like a child prodigy. The answer is to open his mouth, and the accuracy rate is extremely high!

"Yes! It's the table! Cheng Chumo gets one more point!"

The students were in an uproar and cast their surprised glances at Cheng Chu. At the same time, they sighed in their hearts that this lantern riddle is so fun, and it is much more fun than purely guessing the riddle!

"Ugly cow, how can you guess so accurate? When did you become so good?"

Sun Zifan couldn't help but grabbed Cheng Chumo's arm, wondering for a while.

Cheng Chu said silently: "Hey! What else can it be because of? Because I am a genius!"

Sun Zifan rolled his eyes and almost couldn't help vomiting out the overnight meal, "Damn! Don't blow it up, Chu Mo! You are a genius, and your exam results are not as high as me every time! If you are a genius, then What am I? Tell the truth, don't talk nonsense!"

Cheng Chumo looked at him for a while, he scratched his head and told the truth: "Uh, hehe! Actually, there are many puzzles in it. I have seen it before! At that time, my favorite thing to do was guessing, and I won with this. I paid a lot of money for the grandson!"

Chang Sun Chong, who was guessing a riddle in another lantern square, couldn't help but sneezed.

Cheng Chumo continued to "break through and cut the generals", and his score soared. Li Tai followed Cheng Chumo and saw more, but he also figured out some rules, and slowly solved more lantern riddles.

The rest of the students displayed their magical powers, displayed their own ingenuity, and wanted to win a few more prizes, and some people wanted to compete for the top three to get the so-called "special reward." The academy suddenly became a sea of ​​joy~IndoMTL.com~ The festive atmosphere does not even have to be bad in some places in Chang'an!

An hour later, Li Zexuan announced the end of the riddle activity.

The students, relying on the number of lanterns they guessed, received prizes from the gentlemen of the academy in turn. The prizes are not expensive, but some small animal wood carvings sold in the Strange Fun Pavilion. Compared to this, the students are even more curious about what special reward Li Zexuan said.

Under the attention of everyone, Li Zexuan finally said loudly:

"Let me announce the top three of this lantern riddle activity. The first place is Cheng Chumo; the second place is Li Yan; the third place is Changsun Chong! These three students will receive the "Mathematics" compiled by me. Fun Questions "One copy!"

"Puff! Click!"

This is the sound of vomiting blood and heartbreak...
