"Yamachō! Will there be lanterns at the Academy tonight? "
After the game, a piece of paper appeared on Cheng Chumo's forehead. While the cards were being shuffled, Li Tai raised his head and asked Li Zexuan.
"Of course! Not only will there be lanterns, but there will also be riddles! The riddles will begin at 5: 45 pm! "
Li Zexuan nodded.
"Riddles? Are they going to write riddles on the lanterns for people to guess? "
Li Tai was puzzled.
Although lanterns were popular in the Tang Dynasty, riddles had not appeared yet.
Riddles were riddles written on lanterns. They originated from China's folk and were later turned into riddles by scholars. They had a long history in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were riddles. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, riddles were written creations. During the Three Kingdoms Period, riddles were popular. However, it was not until the Song Dynasty that riddles officially appeared. People tied riddles to colorful lanterns for people to guess.
Li Zexuan nodded and praised, "That's right! The riddles are riddles written on lanterns. Every time you guess a lantern correctly, you will receive a small prize. After the riddles are over, you can take the lanterns and go to the teachers to receive your prize! In addition, the three students who correctly guess the most riddles will receive a special prize! Alright, alright! As for the detailed rules, Mr. Mo will tell you next time! "
Since the teachers at the Academy were "working" on the 16th of the first month, those who lived far away had arrived at the Academy earlier today. Otherwise, they would not be able to find anyone to help organize such a grand riddle-guessing event.
"What special prize?"
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up as he asked.
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "No matter what the prize is, what does it have to do with you?"
He did not believe that this idiot could get first place in the riddles!
Feeling Li Zexuan's contempt, Cheng Chumo said unhappily, "F * ck! Yamachō, what do you mean by this? Although I'm not good at all subjects, I'm definitely better at guessing riddles than Qing Que, okay? I've been playing with this since I was a child, and I'm tired of it! "
He didn't know if this idiot was bragging or not, but strangely, Li Tai didn't refute him. However, Li Zexuan definitely didn't believe this idiot. He curled his lips and said, "Enough! Brat, keep bragging! You guys continue playing, I'm going to look for Mr. Mo! "
…
At 5: 45 pm, the riddle-guessing competition began on time.
There were five lantern matrices set up in five different places in the Academy, which meant that tonight's riddle-guessing activity was divided into five teams. The students could choose any team to participate in the riddle-guessing activity.
After all, there were quite a number of students in the academy at this time. If they were all placed together, it would seem very crowded.
In every square array of lanterns, there were more than ten teachers from the academy maintaining order and tallying the results. Li Zexuan was not bluffing when he said that the top three students with the best results would receive special rewards. He really had prepared three special rewards for tonight!
"Two big ones and two small ones. Type a word!"
Li Tai stared at a piece of paper under the lantern and murmured.
In fact, guessing riddles was not his strong point. This was because it was similar to brain teasers, which required a lot of imagination! Last year, when the Strange Taste Pavilion first opened, he, who had just finished reading "Journey to the West", wanted to recruit Li Zexuan and write novels for him.
At that time, Li Zexuan had set ten questions and claimed that if he could answer one correctly, he could go back with him and write novels for him for free for three years. But who would have thought that he couldn't answer a single question correctly out of the ten questions and was beaten black and blue. It was all because his imagination wasn't big enough!
"Hey! It's a Qin word! Haha! Isn't this too easy? "
As Li Tai frowned and pondered, Cheng Chumo's voice suddenly came from beside him. This guy's arrogant laughter immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wang Ji, who was in the crowd, laughed and said,
"Yo! Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect someone to guess a lantern riddle right so quickly. And it's Cheng Chumo! Haha! I'll give you one point! "
After that, he lowered his head and added one point to Cheng Chumo in his "little notebook".
Cheng Chumo laughed proudly and opened the next "level".
"Noodles but no mouth, feet but no hands. You can eat rice and drink wine. Make a family of furniture! "
"Hehe! I've got it! "
Cheng Chumo seemed to have the help of God tonight. As soon as he finished reading the next riddle, he immediately shouted, "It's the table! Is it? Mr. Wang? "
Wang Ji was surprised. He thought that Cheng Chumo's usual grades were not good. Why was he like a child prodigy when he guessed the riddle? The answer came out of his mouth easily, and his accuracy was surprisingly high!
"That's right! It's the table! Cheng Chumo, add another point! "
The students were in an uproar. They all looked at Cheng Chumo in surprise. At the same time, they also sighed in their hearts that this riddle was very interesting. It was much more interesting than just guessing riddles!
"Chou Niu, how can you guess so accurately? When did you become so good? "
Sun Zifan could not help but tug at Cheng Chumo's arm and wonder.
Cheng Chumo said proudly, "Hehe! What else could it be? It's because I'm a prodigy! "
Sun Zifan rolled his eyes and almost spat out last night's meal. "F * ck! Stop bragging, Chumo! You call yourself a prodigy? Your grades are not even as high as mine in every exam! If you're a prodigy, then what am I? Tell me the truth, don't talk nonsense! "
Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed. He scratched his head and said the truth, "Hehe! Actually, there are many riddles here that I've seen before! At that time, my favorite thing to do was to guess riddles. I used this to win a lot of money from Zhangsun Chong! "
Zhangsun Chong, who was guessing the riddles in another square of lanterns, could not help but sneeze.
Cheng Chumo continued to "break through all the obstacles", and his score continued to soar. Li Tai, who followed behind Cheng Chumo, had seen more and more of the lantern riddles. He also began to understand some of the rules, and the riddles he solved slowly increased.
The rest of the students showed their magical powers and displayed their intelligence. They wanted to get more prizes. Some people even wanted to fight for the top three places to get the so-called "special prize". The Academy suddenly became a sea of joy. The festive atmosphere was not worse than some places in Chang 'an City!
After two hours, Li Zexuan announced the end of the lantern riddles.
The students received their prizes from the teachers of the Academy according to the number of lanterns they guessed. The prizes were not expensive. They were just some small wooden animal carvings sold in the Wonderful Taste Pavilion. Compared to that, the students were more curious about the special prize Li Zexuan mentioned.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Zexuan finally said loudly,
"Next, I'll announce the top three of this lantern riddles. First place, Cheng Chumo; second place, Li Yan; third place, Zhangsun Chong! These three students will receive a copy of the "Interesting Mathematical Questions Collection" compiled by me! "
"Pfft! Crack ~! "
This was the sound of vomiting blood and heartbreak …
