Many people on the side looked at Tian Tian and Xu Daoyan with envy, and they all discussed: "The lantern riddle party organized by the Shilong Chamber of Commerce must be very rich."
"It's a pity that these two people came out halfway. Otherwise, if I had to think about these questions for a while, I would be able to answer them."
"The man who answered the question is so handsome and smart. He can answer the question in one go. How can you compare with others?"
"this¡¡"
"This is the last question. The riddle is non-characters, guessing chess terms." The man said again.
"Fei Zi means setting two and breaking three. In Go, one relies on strong momentum to encircle the air." Tian Tian answered almost instantly. Xu Daoyan was stunned. People from rich families were different. He couldn't even understand.
"Amazing! Amazing!" The man who asked the question was amazed and said: "These questions were all given by my young lady. She admired the young master's talent and learning very much and asked another question. If the young master can answer it correctly, This big prize will definitely satisfy the young master.¡±
"Please!" Tian Tian was very calm.
"Shi Nong Gong Shang, Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, there are four industries in the front, five tones in the back, Gong Gong is a homophone, the word "Shang" is repeated, please find the right one!" The man reminded.
"This is a strange couplet. It's too difficult to counter it!" There was a man, Mr. Tang from Shilong City, who was very knowledgeable. When he heard this, he was immediately shocked by this strange couplet.
"No, even Mr. Tang can't stand up to him, so how can others stand up to him?"
"It's indeed a strange combination, but it's not difficult to counter it." Tian Tian said surprisingly.
Xu Daoyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He was an illiterate soldier. He didn't understand anything and could only act as a foil.
"Oh? Then please take a look, sir!" Suddenly a woman's voice came from behind the stage. The voice was clear and pleasant.
Tian Tian pulled Xu Daoyan and asked in a low voice: "Do you think I can be right?"
"Is that okay?" Xu Daoyan paused and said.
"When you two come out, will you treat me to some jelly beans?" Tian Tian said.
"good."
"I want all your packets."
"OK!"
Tian Tian immediately looked at the man and said: "Cold, hot, warm and cool, gentle, courteous, thrifty and generous. There are four sleeps in the front and five virtues in the back. The word "warm" is repeated, and "good and cool" is a homophone. How about it?
"It's amazing. You came out against each other in such a short time. It seems that I really have little talent and learning. I'm ashamed" Mr. Tang, who was already in his fifties, said helplessly, turned around and left, with a lonely figure behind him. After living all his life, he was not as good as a young man. He was very ashamed.
A woman came out. She was dressed in white, with loose black hair reaching her waist. Her forehead was white and bright, her starry eyes were like pictures, and her face was covered with white gauze. There was a mysterious beauty in the haze, which many people present could see. transfixed.
"My lady is the daughter of the president of the Shilong General Chamber of Commerce. She is just twenty-eight years old during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th this year. The big prize today is the invitation from Feiyan Pavilion in Tianshi King City on August 15th. At that time, the lady will throw the hydrangea, and whoever can win the hydrangea will get married to the lady!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The Shilong General Chamber of Commerce cannot be said to be as rich as the enemy state, but the enemy state is still no problem, and it is even richer than Youzhou.
There is one prince in a state, and there are 3,600 cities in a state. Every 600 cities are ruled by a prince. Shilong City is one of the cities under the jurisdiction of Tianshi King City, and the president of Shilong Chamber of Commerce is in Tianshi King City. Very high status.
"Haha, Brother Xu, you have to thank me more this time!" Tian Tian looked at Xu Daoyan, patted his shoulder, smiled evilly, and said loudly: "I told you that you are rich in knowledge and knowledge. This kind of lantern riddle couplet is in For you, it¡¯s too simple. If you become the son-in-law of the president of the Shilong General Chamber of Commerce in the future, don¡¯t forget me!¡±
"What's going on?" The man who asked the question looked confused.
Xu Daoyan was about to explain, but Tian Tian giggled and said: "The thing is, his name is Xu Daoyan, he is the Shilong Guard of this Shilong City, he is both civil and military, and he and I are close friends. We were walking around today and passed by this place. He I originally wanted to go back, but I'm a busy person and want to guess lantern riddles, but I don't have much talent, so I had to drag him along. He told me the answers just now. "
"What, he is Xu Daoyan? He was beaten two thousand times by Li Chaofeng without dying and was elected by General Shi as the youngest Shilong Guard candidate." The man exclaimed, feeling a little unbelievable.
This matter has been spread by many people. Every year during the recruitment, interested people will ask who have become Stone Dragon Guards.
Today?It is very special. Xu Daoyan is young, and he has been tortured for hundreds of soldiers from the Fengqi Camp, which has been praised by many people.
Of course, there is also the element of Shi Yun's deliberate instigation, which is to give Li Chaofeng some color and make him lose all face. So now Xu Daoyan's name is like thunder in the entire Shilong City. No one knows it, and everyone knows it. You know Shilong City is located on the border, and the people are strong and strong. What they admire most are people who are bloody and responsible.
"Haha, that's right!" Tian Tian put her arm around Xu Daoyan's shoulder and laughed.
"Mr. Xu, here is the invitation!" The man handed the invitation to Xu Daoyan.
Xu Daoyan could only accept it. For a while, she was helpless. The woman in white glanced at Xu Daoyan and then at Tian Tian. Without saying anything, she turned and left.
The lantern riddle party is over and people are beginning to disperse.
Xu Daoyan and Tian Tian were walking on the street. She smiled at Xu Daoyan and said, "Bring it here."
Xu Daoyan handed the invitation to Tian Tian and said, "I know that you guys from wealthy families are afraid of getting a bad name and asking me to take my place."
"Who wants this invitation? I want jelly beans!" Tian Tian glared at Xu Daoyan.
"Okay, stop pretending, there's no one around now!" Xu Daoyan said scornfully.
"I want jelly beans! You can keep the invitation and go have some fun then. I have already been married to someone else. If my father knows about this, why won't he break my legs?" "Tian Tian said seriously.
Xu Daoyan was speechless for a while, looking at the invitation in his hand. It was made of platinum. It was magnificent and engraved with exquisite patterns. The cost of making the invitation alone was a large expense.
Tian Tian kept staring at him, and in desperation, he could only give her a bag of jelly beans.
When the two of them were approaching the General's Mansion, suddenly a ten-year-old boy trotted up to Xu Daoyan and said, "Little brother, someone asked me to hand this box to you, saying it was a Lantern Festival gift for you. "
Xu Daoyan was stunned for a moment, took the box, and the young man left.
Looking at the box in his arms, Xu Daoyan was about to open it, but Tian Tian suddenly said: "Wait, put it on the ground."
Xu Daoyan didn¡¯t know what he meant, so he could only do it.
The two people retreated ten feet away. Tian Tian popped out a stone in his hand, opened the lid of the box, and boom!
A burst of black poisonous smoke spurted out from the box. If Xu Daoyan had opened it, he would have died a violent death at this moment.
"Life-killing poison smoke, this is the poison of Tiangui Sect. It seems that you have to be careful. Someone is targeting you. He dare not take action in Shilong City, so he can only use this method. Once you are caught, your death will be in vain. Death can't be traced at all," Tian Tian said cautiously.
"How do you know there is poisonous smoke in it?" Xu Daoyan took a breath and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Tian Tian, ??confused.
"Secret, let's go, you shouldn't stay here for a long time." Tian Tian looked enigmatic, and finally both of them entered the general's mansion.
In secret, a voice came out: "Messengers, the person around Xu Daoyan is not easy. On the same day, he just blown the flute, and he could make me feel a layer of frost and snow."
"Oh? Is it "White Snow"? Most people can't master such a famous song. It should be impossible. Let's see again. There are many opportunities to kill him." The Tiangui Sect envoy smiled coldly. This was just an appetizer.
In the General¡¯s Mansion.
Tian Tian and Xu Daoyan returned to the palace.
She threw a book to Xu Daoyan and said: "From today on, I will teach you how to read and write. You will have certain homework every day. You are not allowed to practice until you finish reading."
Xu Daoyan took a book and looked at the "Three Character Classic" written on it. He was stunned for a moment. He could still understand some simple words: "What's the meaning of this?"
"As the saying goes, the war lasts for three months, and a letter home is worth ten thousand dollars. You have been out for so long, but have you ever sent a letter home to your mother? Do you want to join the battlefield in the future, and even the letter home will have to be written for you by someone else?" Tian Sweet's words were sharp and to the point, leaving him speechless.
"Okay, you win!" Xu Daoyan thought about it.
"To put it bluntly, being my guard, if you don't know Chinese characters, will only embarrass me, so be more serious." Tian Tian asked Xu Daoyan to sit down, and she stood aside and opened the "Three Character Classic".
"I will only teach you this once, remember it well!"
Xu Daoyan nodded, helpless, does it mean that there are so many rules if you want to be the guard of Mengchangjun's son?
"At the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart"
Tian Tian explained the learning method concisely and concisely in a few words.Xu Daoyan also learned it quickly, because cultivators have excellent memory and learning abilities.
Even so, it took Xu Daoyan an hour.
Then he started to let Zhang Chao, Qin Han, Bai Shi and others come out to practice together.
Xu Daoyan was very surprised. Ever since he was attacked, Tian Tian had not left home, not even the gate of the General's Mansion.
At this stage, she also taught Xu Daoyan "The Thousand-Character Essay", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Disciple Rules" and "The Analects of Confucius"
It was only then that Xu Daoyan knew which surnames belonged to the big clans, such as Fu, Yan, Huang, Xia, Kong, Meng, Sun, Mo, etc. They were all great, even the surname Xu was.
In the past three months, apart from practicing, Xu Daoyan has also been reading. He doesn¡¯t know what the use of reading is, but it is always beneficial to study more.
In addition to these, Tian Tian also asked Xu Daoyan to read the "Tao Te Ching". There were many things that Xu Daoyan didn't understand very well. I can only memorize the entire Tao Te Ching.
In addition, there are "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs" that Xu Daoyan is not very interested in, but he listens to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji" and "Lieyizhuan" with great interest.
