Chapter 331 The speech is amazing

(I have been participating in a large-scale event of an image festival these days. I am responsible for the rehearsal process and programs with the group. I go out early and come back late, so the novel is updated a bit slowly. It will finally come to the closing ceremony tomorrow morning. The two or three chapters that will be completed from Monday to Wednesday, and the update will be suspended for two or three days. I am really sorry.

After Luo Zhaoyun finished the topic and wrote three puzzles, it was not difficult for him, because in his junior high school, he read a lot of this knowledge, which was similar to brain teasers, and was not a profound thing, but in ancient times, it was different. There were very few people who could read and read, and the literature was slow to explore and guess riddles. This was something that only knowledgeable people could talk about in banquets by literati.

Niu Hong, King Cai, Yu Shinan, Fang Yanqian and others were all paying attention to the six riddles and secretly guessing.

Many people directly read Luo Zhaoyun’s puzzles and wanted to know at the first time how difficult the questions he asked were, and whether he had talent.

Several maids stood up, each holding a piece of paper with the contents of the riddles written on it.

"Okay, both sides have finished setting the questions. You can exchange positions and guess riddles. Within the specified time, the one who guessed the most will win." Yu Shinan said.

Xue Zhiqing was also excited when she looked at Luo Zhaoyun's title, her eyes were as clear as water. She looked at the three riddles, which were all puzzles that she had never heard of before. She was very competitive and wanted to solve them.

I was not interested in the topics of the other scholars, because one was guessed by me a few days ago, and the other was told to a certain student that I had spread it, but for her, there was no newness.

Luo Zhaoyun and several scholars all came out and were about to guess each other, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

Ning Muhe asked Xiao Yiyi beside her: "Sister Yiyi, how many can you guess?"

"It's difficult to guess those scholars for the time being. The first one is a little bit surprised."

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun came to the first paper, pondered for a moment, and wrote the word "imitation" under the first riddle.

Then he stood in front of the second paper, stopped for a while, thought about it, and wrote the word "bear".

The third one was a little cold. He pondered for a moment and wrote the word "earth".

The answers to all three riddles were written, and the speed was amazing, which surprised many scholars in the field and sighed that they were not as good as those of them, because some of them guessed one, some of them didn’t, and some of them had already guessed two of them, but they were definitely not as quick as Luo Zhaoyun.

"General Luo won!" Changsun Wuji clapped happily.

Ning Muhe, Xiao Yiyi, Princess Ruyi and others also laughed excitedly, and they were very happy to see the man they liked with their own eyes shining.

At this time, Yu Jingzhi and three other scholars were still trying to figure out the riddle, and they could not guess it in a short period of time.

When the three of them saw that the puzzle they wrote was solved, but none of them guessed Luo Zhaoyun's riddles. They all looked pale and suddenly became ashamed.

"General Luo's talent is indeed well-deserved!" Someone took the lead in admiring and applauding, and suddenly many people in the venue were admired by Luo Zhaoyun's intelligence and knowledge.

Princess Ruyi finally came out once and attended the Lantern Festival literati banquet. Seeing Luo Zhaoyun's charm, she was overjoyed and chuckled from time to time, and her eyes almost melted.

"Look, I'm so happy that I've even looked straight and didn't blink!" Princess Nanyang teased the emperor's sister.

"Sister Huang, can you guess Zhaoyun's riddle?"

The Nanyang Princess shook her head: "This, not yet."

"So too, I didn't think of the corresponding words, so it was hard to guess. Although I thought of a few similar ones, it couldn't explain the riddle." Princess Ruyi frowned.

Not only them, many scholars on the scene were confused, and for a moment, they could not think of the answer.

This is not surprising, because the difference between ancient and modern characters is quite different. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, many traditional characters were used, while in modern times, 80% of traditional characters were removed, but some were also preserved. After several reforms, the characters were different from those in ancient times.

However, the answer to the puzzle by Luo Zhaoyun did not change much, but the explanation of the puzzle may make everyone confused.

Many literary masters present also frowned, some guessed one, but most of them shook their heads in confusion.

"Miss Xue, how many do you guess?"

When Xue Zhiqing thought deeply, her temperament became even more charming, like a beautiful person who reads poetry and books, like a beautiful woman who walks out of landscape paintings.

"Guess two, but I don't know whether it's right or wrong!"

"Which two?" Luo Zhaoyun asked.

Xue Zhiqing replied: "The first one, I guess it is 'Lin', the third one, I guess it is the word 'Use'!

Yu Shinan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Luo Zhaoyun meaningfully, and sighed, "I wonder how many Miss Xue guessed correctly?"

"One, the third one is right!" Luo Zhaoyun said simply.

"What is the first mystery?"

"William, wisdom of wisdom!" Luo Zhaoyun said the answer.

"Hui?" Many people in the venue said this word in absent voice.

"Ah, so that's it!" Xue Zhiqing understood in an instant, but the others could not understand it at all.

Niu Hong, Fang Yanqian and other literary masters chewed for a while and gradually realized it.

"The two plum blossoms represent the woods, and the middle is the mountain, and the heart symbolizes the horizontal flow of a small boat." Luo Zhaoyun explained that many scholars woke up.

"Then what is the answer to the second one?" Xue Zhiqing couldn't help asking.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly and said calmly: "Woman's wife!"

"One person, one falls into the mountain, but it can reach half of the sky. What does it mean?" Xue Zhiqing asked in confusion.

Luo Zhaoyun was stunned and thought to himself, "Damn, I forgot this. In ancient times, women had a low status and were sent like goods. Three wives and four concubines, and women could hold half of the sky. That was the slogan after the founding of New China, and it was unreasonable in ancient times.

However, Luo Zhaoyun had a sudden inspiration and said, "When the late emperor was in power, there was a saying among the people that there were two saints. Emperor Wen and Empress Dugu were respected by all the people, so women could also stand half of the sky! Moreover, the status of women was improving. I think there will always be one day when women can also enter school, become officials, work in various industries, like men, enjoy professional respect, economic independence, and their status at home can be improved, and they can have equal dialogue."

"What? How is this possible?" At most, the talents were all surprised by his remarks. (To be continued.)
