Because the three of them had a competition agreement, the host specially brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for them to write.
Xiao Yang thought about it and told Lan Jiaoye a word. Lan Jiaoye was originally racking her brains, but after hearing Xiao Yang's voice, her eyes lit up and her expression became excited. So it was this simple. He had thought for so long.
"I know, I know, I'll write it."
Lan Jiaoye happily took the brush and paper from the host and secretly wrote a word.
Gu Qianqian was still puzzled. Seeing that Xiao Yang had already told Lan Jiaoye the answer, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She pouted and looked at Xiao Yang with hidden bitterness.
"Brother Xiao Yang, I also want to know."
She puffed up her cheeks and shook Xiao Yang's hand. That look was really cute.
This made the gentle young master and scholarly young master feel pity for her. They immediately said, "Ladies, we already know. But, how about I tell you?"
"Tch."
Gu Qianqian directly showed her disdain, as if she looked down on their talent. This made the two young masters unable to bear it. They immediately said to the host, "Give me a brush and paper, I'll show you my power."
He secretly wrote a word, and so did the other young master.
After the three of them submitted, the host glanced at the crowd and said, "Who else wants to participate? If not, then let's start. "
"Let's start with this young master. This young master wrote 'Gao'. I'm sorry, it's wrong. "The host said to the scholarly young master. This made the scholarly young master feel depressed.
"How could it be wrong? It really is. Did you make a mistake?" The scholarly young master was very dissatisfied and questioned.
The gentle young master comforted him and said, "Okay, brother, look at mine."
The scholarly young master finally calmed down. The host grabbed another piece of paper and announced, "This young master wrote 'Gao'. I'm sorry, it's still wrong."
This made the gentle young master angry as well. He said with dissatisfaction, "This is also wrong? It can't be right. "
The scholarly young master finally calmed down a little and comforted him, "Brother, don't be impatient. This riddle is too difficult. I don't think anyone can give the answer."
Only then did the gentle young master feel a little better.
The host said loudly, "A total of three guesses. Now, two of the answers are wrong, so there's only one answer left."
"Look, it's Sue. That's right. Congratulations, Miss. You got it right. Try to think about it. If the tail of the word 'Ox' is bitten off, isn't it Sue?"
The host explained to the crowd with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they were all enlightened.
"Hoyer, cousin, I got it right. That's great."
Lan Jiaoye was so excited that she almost jumped three feet high. It was obvious how excited she was.
On the contrary, the scholarly young master and the gentle young master had a mournful expression. They originally thought that they could defeat Xiao Yang with their talent, but they didn't expect that they would be defeated by Xiao Yang instead.
This made them very unhappy and depressed, as if they were being suppressed and wronged.
"Congratulations miss, your prize is a rose."
The host took out a fresh rose from the flower pot and gave it to Lan Jiaoye.
"Wow, this flower is so beautiful. I like it."
Lan Jiaoye happily shouted. She even sniffed it a few times. Her heart was full of joy. The host saw this and also smiled. Guessing riddles, the most important thing was to make people happy.
The rest of the audience also looked at Xiao Yang with envy. Many people looked at Xiao Yang with amazement.
Because they all saw that the reason why Lan Jiaoye knew the answer was because Xiao Yang told her. They really didn't expect Xiao Yang to be so good at guessing riddles. This showed that his knowledge was also quite high.
On the contrary, the two young masters who were proficient in poetry and songs both failed. It could be seen that these two young masters' knowledge couldn't be compared to Xiao Yang.
Lan Jiaoye glanced at the scholarly young master and the gentle young master with dissatisfaction. She curled her lips and said, "Hey, if you admit defeat, you have to admit defeat. Why aren't you taking out your money?"
Lan Jiaoye didn't wait for them to refuse. She directly reached out her hand and took two bags of gold from their hands.
This made her even happier.
"Hmph, what's so great about him? He must have hit the jackpot."
"Yes, in the end, he's just a poor scholar. If you have the ability, let's continue. How about it?"
The scholarly young master and the gentle young master couldn't afford to lose. They directly stared at Xiao Yang, hoping that Xiao Yang would bet with them again. They lost to Xiao Yang in front of everyone. Of course, they couldn't throw away their face. They relied on their face to make a living.
Naturally, they wanted to take revenge and wash away their previous shame.
Xiao Yang didn't want to be meddlesome and was too lazy to argue with them. However, when he saw Gu Qianqian looking at him, Xiao Yang couldn't refuse.
He couldn't be biased and give it to Lan Jiaoye and not give it to her.
Gu Qianqian said with hidden bitterness, "I don't care. Big brother Xiao Yang, I want it too."
Xiao Yang could only agree. He said to the host, "Then let's continue with the next guess."
The scholarly young master and the gentle young master's eyes couldn't help but light up. They immediately said, "This scholarly young master has guts. How about we double the bet?"
As they spoke, they had the errand boy behind them take out two hundred taels of gold.
They planned to win back all the taels they lost before.
Xiao Yang still ignored them. He pointed at the lantern at the top of the shelf and said, "That one."
The host looked at Xiao Yang's finger and nodded. Then, he picked up the bamboo pole, took down the lantern, and handed it to Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang reached out and took a small piece of paper from the lantern. Then, he handed the paper to the host.
After the host glanced at the paper, he immediately announced, "Sanshui Pangqian, play a Chinese character."
When these words came out, whether it was the contestants or the onlookers, they all fell into deep thought. They even repeatedly thought about the meaning of this sentence.
The onlookers felt that it was difficult and couldn't figure it out for a long time.
Among the three contestants, the gentle young master and the scholarly young master were also frowning. They didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiao Yang shook his head and whispered in Gu Qianqian's ear, "This is a trick. You go and write it."
"Okay."
Gu Qianqian suddenly became happy. She happily took the pen and paper from the host and began to write.
On the contrary, the scholarly young master and the gentle young master were still thinking hard. They didn't know if they could figure it out. They felt that this riddle was very difficult to solve and it was not easy to find the answer.
However, when they saw that Gu Qianqian had already started to write, they were shocked.
