Smiling Proud Wanderer Chapter 97: Huahui(2)

In fact, there will be such a similar event every year in peony. However, most of the people who came here to participate in this peony event were foreigners like Yue Feng, so they were not very clear about the rules, so the old man specifically explained it.

After introducing the ten celebrities, the old man asked everyone: "The rules are roughly like this. Do you have anything to ask? If there are no more, then I will leave first. , Without disturbing everyone, the peony festival will officially begin."[]

As soon as the voice fell, someone asked, "I don't know if I can compose a poem at will, or if there are any restrictions."

"It must be limited. Today is the Peony Festival. Naturally, peony must be the theme. Whether it is a poem, a lyric, or a small tune, it must be the theme of peony. Moreover, the eyes of these ten gentlemen are all Very precise. If they are not satisfied, even if they write it, they will write it for nothing."

As soon as his words fell, many people couldn't help but feel frustrated. If you write a poem casually, it is very easy. However, since the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years of good words and sentences about peony have long been written, and it is really difficult to write a good sentence, not to mention that it still has to be criticized by everyone. If you write well, there is nothing wrong with it. If you don't write well, you will lose all the embarrassment. However, if you can use this peony fair to make a name for yourself, it would be a wonderful thing.

Immediately afterwards, another person asked: "You can get flowers if you guess the riddle, what if you guess it wrong."

"This little brother is good." The old man suddenly showed a malicious smile and said: "If you are right, there is a mistake. If you are right, the flowers can naturally be taken away. But if you guess wrong But I want to leave a piece of calligraphy in public, and write down my name, so that everyone can comment in public. When I leave later, I will naturally give a pot of middle-grade peonies as compensation. You know, even if it’s a mid-range product, it’s hard to find this home."

Hearing this, some face-saving people couldn't help but feel a little weaker in their desire to win flowers. If the answer is wrong, there is a real possibility of notoriety. Of course, there are also people who are determined to go up and try even if they leave others behind. It's a pity that you got the right answer, but it doesn't matter if you get it wrong, there will be more gains at that time.

Next, the old man answered several questions raised by everyone. Almost all of these people who asked questions came from other places, and were not very familiar with the rules of the Huahui.

After answering everyone's questions, the old man said: "That's the case, then this year's Luoyang Flower Fair will officially begin." As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of firecrackers rang. But the place where the firecrackers are made is not in front of the stage, but at the entrance of Zhangjiayuan. It was obvious that the peonies in the garden could not stand the ravages of firecrackers, so I did it deliberately.

Immediately afterwards, other places in Luoyang City suddenly thought of the sound of firecrackers. Soon, the sound of firecrackers came from the entire Luoyang city, whether in or out of the city. By this time, the color on the old man's face couldn't help but become more obvious.

When the sound of firecrackers stopped completely, the celebrities who had been sitting on the stage stepped forward. I saw them walking to the top-grade peonies and bending down. After a little groping in the flowerpot, he took out a bamboo tube. Then, they opened the stopper at one end of the bamboo tube, took out the paper rolled into a tube from the tube, and handed it to the young man who had been waiting under the table.

In the flowerpot that didn't have a word, a bamboo tube had already been hidden. In the bamboo tube, there are prepared crossword puzzles. In a short while, a piece of colored paper about one foot long and half a foot wide was hung up by the little servants holding bamboo poles and stood under the stage. On the note, the big characters are written with a large pen dipped in thick ink, which is exactly an anagram.

The old man even took out the bamboo tube from the best peony and hung the couplet inside. If people want top-grade peony, they can do the anagram directly in the audience. If you want to be the best, you need to write down the couplet yourself on stage. As for the exquisite products, it is even more important for the people to comment on it.

Soon, some people guessed the puzzle and took away a pot of peonies. In fact, although Luoyang has a large population, it is hundreds of thousands. But although Zhangjiayuan's Peony Festival is grand, not many people can be invited to participate. In the entire Zhangjiayuan, just over a thousand people were admitted. And the people gathered here to get peony flowers are only one-third of all the guests.

Moreover, nearly half of these people are martial arts people, and they don't have much real talents at all. Coming here is just to watch the excitement. Therefore, more than one hundred pots of peonies were evenly distributed, and no one touched them before three or four people. What's more, both puzzles and couplets are extremely tricky and difficult to guess. Therefore, every year these peonies cannot be sent out all, and eventually some very prestigious and natural ones are left, especially those pots of exquisite peonies.

In a short while, a young man in his twenties walked up to the stage and wrote a couplet with his pen. The couplet he was facing was very neat, so he took the lead in taking a pot of superb peonies from the old man.

Next, the top-quality and top-quality peonies will be given out one by one. As for the exquisite peonies, they never came out. It's not that no one wants to get it, but just as the poem was written, the ten celebrities on the stage gave him a **** head.

To tell you the truth, these poems are not great, but they are considered good, otherwise no one would dare to go up. But those celebrities didn't pay any attention to them, they just kept picking bones in their eggs. But the old man watched this scene with a smile, and didn't stop him at all. In this way, no one dared to go up again.

Seeing a pot of peony flowers were taken away, the atmosphere of the crowd became more heated. They couldn't wait to rush up immediately and take the peony flowers away, and even some small conflicts arose for this. Unfortunately, the questions on the stage are really difficult to answer. It didn't even take long before a few extremely difficult puzzles and one picture were definitely revealed.

There are still a few people who don’t believe in evil and want to try. In the end, he wrote a pair of words with a disgusting face, and walked down amidst the ridicule of the crowd. However, the old man did make a mistake, and soon gave them a pot of middle-grade peonies, which can be regarded as some comfort in front of him. And the peony corresponding to these problems is even the best in its class. Obviously, it has been prepared in advance, and I don't want people to take it away easily.

Huashan sent everyone to watch this scene, and everyone couldn't help it. Especially Yue Lingshan, who kept making a cry of surprise, seemed to want to go up and grab such a pot at any time. It's just that even though martial arts like them can be done, their knowledge is much worse. Of course, not everyone is like this.

"Brother, don't you try to answer the last question." At this moment, Ning Zhong suddenly spoke to Yue Buqun. In fact, seeing so many peony flowers made her a little moved. However, after all, she had been the wife of the head for so many years, so naturally she would not be as uncomfortable as Yue Lingshan. Only then did he speak to Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun's face couldn't help but a slight movement flashed, and he raised his head to look at the puzzle in front of him. Yue Buqun can be considered proficient in Confucianism, even without the so-called erudition. Although he is not good at writing poems against the pair, he has some skill in guessing puzzles. However, each of the above puzzles is difficult, and none of them are easy to deal with. In addition to studying knowledge, you must also be a bit quick-witted.

Suddenly, Yue Buqun's eyes lit up, and he finally found a problem. I saw a chapter on the pink paper with the words "Zhongni, Sun and Moon" written on it. Someone had already answered this question before, but it was a pity that he accidentally typed it wrong, and no one dared to go after that. At this moment, Yue Buqun happened to see a bargain.

Yue Buqun thought for a moment, and then thought of the source of this sentence. This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius? Zi Zhang", the original text is: "Uncle Sun Wushu destroys Zhongni. Zi Gong said: "You can't think of it! Zhongni can't be destroyed. The sages of others, the hills, are beyond. Also; Zhongni, the sun and the moon, there is nothing but beyond Yan. Although people want to extinct themselves, how can they be hurt by the sun and the moon? It is often seen that they do not know the amount.'"

It roughly means: Uncle Wushu slandered Confucius. Zi Gong said: "It's no use! Zhong Ni can't be slandered. Other people's virtues, like hills, can still be climbed. Zhong Ni, the sun and the moon, cannot be climbed. Even if you close the door, you can't climb it. Looking at the sun and the moon, then what harm is there for the sun and the moon? It just shows his own oversight."

Yue Buqun couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and suddenly waved to Linghu, motioned him to move forward, whispered a few places in his ear, and then asked him to go up.

Linghu Chong looked at the puzzle for a long time, his face still full of doubts, who had never liked reading. Looking at Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong's face couldn't help but a dilemma: when he went up and got the correct answer, the peony flower would definitely not fall into his hands. If he answered wrong, he would definitely suffer, and hesitated. Just about to think of a way to push it away, he saw that Yue Buqun's face showed a bit of sullen expression.

Although it showed that Zhiyue Buqun was doing something, Linghu Chong was still taken aback. Hastily squeezed up from the crowd and walked to the front of the stage. I saw him whisper a few words to the young man holding a lantern riddle. The little servant took off the Lantern Riddle with a smile, and at the same time handed Linghu Chong a pen. Linghu Chong wrote two mysteries next to the lantern riddles, one was "Kong Ming" and the other was "One Kong Zhi Jian", and then he took the peony flower.

It turns out that the answer to this lantern riddle is not fixed. If the answer is a person's name, then Zhong Ni is Confucius, which means the word "kong", the sun and the moon are Ming, and the result is Kong Ming. But if it is an idiom, it is necessary to be familiar with the Analects and analyze it from the meaning, but this sentence is also a bit uncommon in the Analects.

If the person who answered the question before is not knowledgeable enough, just guess it as the name of the person. Naturally, the guess is wrong. And if it is a person who is studying hard, guessing as a written word, it is also wrong. Yue Buqun saw a strangeness, so he asked Linghu Chong to write down the two mysteries at the same time.

Ling at the peony flower in his hand, Linghu Chong couldn't help but smile all at once. He was a bit handsome in appearance, and he attracted the attention of many people as soon as he got up. At this time, the question was answered correctly, and the whole person was even more energetic, and invisibly ushered in a small mixed movement in the field. But he didn't pay any attention to these, and just left when he got the peony flower.

In a short while, Ling Hu Chong walked back with peony flowers and returned to the Huashan faction crowd. As soon as Fang came back, everyone's minds gathered on the peony flowers and let out an exclamation. I saw that this pot of peonies bloomed very beautifully, and the big pink flowers were very dazzling against the turquoise leaves. It seems that it is definitely not inferior to those top-quality peonies. The only regret even though there is a small hole in a leaf somehow. But it was this small flaw that caused this pot of peony to fall for more than one level, and it was reduced from the best of the best to the top. No wonder the person who came up with the riddle is reluctant to let this pot of peonies go, and has to do some tricks on the riddle.

Actually, although this pot of peonies is excellent, you can definitely buy it with a little money. Even the best peony, you can do it if you want to buy it. And that little money is by no means a big deal for the Huashan School. But after so many guesses, the peony became extremely precious.

Soon, the peony flower was passed back to Ning Zhongze. After all, the flowers were obtained by Yue Buqun for Ning Zhong's guessing. The Huashan School disciples were most concerned about respecting the teacher, and even Yue Lingshan, who had always been naughty, didn't grab it.

Looking at Yue Lingshan looking envious, Ning Zhong once again brought his attention to Yue Buqun, and said: "Brother, why don't you guess a question again."

Yue Buqun couldn't help showing an embarrassment after hearing it. After looking at the front for a long time, after all, I couldn't find a question that I could answer. He also shook his hand and said, "No, I can't answer any more. Let the disciples try."

As soon as Yue Buqun's words fell, everyone couldn't help showing downcast expressions. Suddenly, Yue Lingshan murmured: "It would be fine if Junior Brother Lin was here, but it's a pity that he stayed at her grandpa's house."

Everyone couldn't help but agree with what he said. Although most of the disciples of Huashan are not pleasing to Lin Pingzhi, I have to admit that Lin Pingzhi's literary talent is indeed good. Compared with the people who only knew martial arts in the Huashan school since childhood, Lin Pingzhi, who had been a monk halfway through, had more advantages than the others in terms of literary talent and other than martial arts. If he were there, there was indeed the possibility of winning one or two pots of peonies for everyone.

However, after Lin Pingzhi returned to Luoyang, he stayed at Wang's house. Although the peony fair in Zhangjiayuan was extremely lively this time, he did not come out because of it. The reason is that the Wang family, as the largest martial arts family in Luoyang, also held a small flower fair in their own home. As the grandson of Wang Yuanba, Lin Pingzhi also wanted to help pick up guests.

Listening to Yue Lingshan's words, Yue Feng felt unconvinced in his heart for some reason.

The slight change in him was noticed by Ning Zhong. Ning Zhong couldn't help but smile, and said, "Feng'er, if you are not convinced, go up and guess." Ning Zhong couldn't help but feel shocked.

In her mind, Yue Feng was a genius when she was a child. This kind of genius is not only in learning martial arts, but also in other aspects. I remember that when he was three years old, Yue Feng learned all the words in the book in less than a month, but it did cause quite a stir.

But later, all his talent for learning was completely concealed by the brilliance of martial arts, and since then, no trace of it has been revealed. Given the opportunity this time, why not give it a try, Ning Zhong couldn't help but moved some thoughts.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhong hurriedly continued to speak: "Feng'er, if you can, why not go up and guess the question. Lingshan, please come and persuade your brother so that he can win you too. Pot of peonies."

After Yue Feng heard this, he immediately decided to refuse, but Yue Lingshan immediately grabbed his arm. Just listen to Yue Lingshan smiling and saying: "Brother, you should try it soon. Daddy can do it, and you must do it. You will not be worse than his old man."

Listening to Yue Feng, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. In fact, as soon as the best ten pots of exquisite peonies came out, Yue Feng's calm and calm mind couldn't help but make waves. After all, no matter who came across such a good peony flower, no one could be completely calm.

But the guessing is the right pair, he is determined to do it. As for writing poems, he was even further behind. But even though he can't do it, he can still recite poems. Although the memories of the previous life have faded a little after such a long time, there are still some poems about peony remaining in Yue Feng's mind. Although most of these poems were before the Ming Dynasty, there were also such a few from the Ming Dynasty and after.

After hesitating, Yue Feng's face suddenly showed a little confidence, and he put Shu Qi, who had been in his arms, on the ground, and walked forward alone.
