White Snake Demonstration Walk

Chapter 9
Passers-by on the street heard that someone was going to compete in guessing lantern riddles, and they immediately became interested and rushed over one after another.

In particular, I heard that the identities of the two parties in the competition are both unusual. One of them is Qiao Chen'an, who is known as a talented scholar and has been admitted as a student member of the famous official school Chongwen Academy, and the other is Lin Fei, the only son of Lin Dafu, the richest man in the area. , more curious.

People came one after another, it was very lively, and for a while, the whole street was almost blocked.

Qiao Chenan secretly clicked his tongue while watching such a battle, but actually it was normal when he thought about it, in this age when entertainment items were extremely scarce, the common people could only watch the excitement to pass the time.

Lin Fei saw more and more people around him, and the smile on his face became even bigger. This is what he wanted, and it would be a pleasure to humiliate Qiao Chen severely in front of all these people!
As the incense dust curled up, Qiao Chenan looked up and saw that the first lantern read "White Snake crossing the river with a red sun above his head". "The answer to this puzzle is the oil lamp!"

The stall owner was taken aback, and thought to himself that you guessed too fast. At this speed, the five lanterns can be guessed in a short while, and he yelled reluctantly with a dark face: "Young master!" Great talent, you guessed this question correctly!"

"Okay! As expected of Joe's great talent!"

The people around suddenly burst into cheers, secretly said that he is worthy of being a well-known talent, and he really has some real skills.

Almost as soon as Qiao Chenan's voice fell, Lin Fei on the other side shouted: "The answer to this question is the word '日'!"

The title of his question is exactly "Write square, draw circle, east time is short, summer time is long.".

Xu Xian was originally happy that Qiao Chenan guessed a question first, but when he saw this, his face turned bitter, and he said in surprise: "How could he be so fast..."

In this way, there are still three lanterns left.

Qiao Chen'an glanced at Lin Fei, thinking that although this man is arrogant, he has some abilities. He looked up at the lamp next to him, but saw the writing on it: "Oolong lying on the wall, wearing ten thousand gold stars.".

This lantern riddle and the previous lantern riddle can just make up a couplet, which is very interesting. Qiao Chenan has already made up his mind to let Lin Fei remember it, so naturally he will not let it go in the slightest, and he still said without hesitation: "The answer to this riddle It's a scale."

"right……"

The stall owner was powerless, and secretly calculated in his heart, but in an instant, he had already lost hundreds of Wen...

Lin Fei over there was thinking hard about the answer to the second question. Seeing that Qiao Chenan guessed the second question so quickly, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered. If this kid guesses another one, wouldn't he lose the game? ?

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.

"Young Master Qiao is really amazing!"

"The speed of guessing lantern riddles is too fast!"

Everyone was surprised, and they all looked at Qiao Chen'an in disbelief.

"Brother Lin, can you do it? Brother Qiao already guessed the second one. If you don't hurry up, you will lose!" Li Quan shouted on purpose.

"What's the noise!"

Lin Fei shouted, frowning, he could only hope that the last lantern riddle was more difficult, Qiao Chenan couldn't guess it for a while, but the result was destined to disappoint him.

After Qiao Chen'an guessed this question, he didn't stop for a moment. His eyes moved to the next lantern, and he saw the inscription "The fragrance of the sunset is lingering, so don't worry about it." He said calmly: "The answer to the third question is the word 'bald'! "

"Again..."

The stall owner almost squeezed these two words out between his teeth. He lost his fortune tonight. If he was the most unlucky person, he didn't know what he had done to offend these two people. god.

"Great, I won!"

After hearing the stall owner's words, Xu Xian and his group shouted excitedly. Qiao Chen'an had already guessed three of the five lantern riddles, and the result of the competition was self-evident.

Everyone's shouts fell into Lin Fei's ears, but they were like a little devil's hook. His vision went dark, and Qiao Chen'an had already guessed three. He had already lost this match!

"Hey! How did Mr. Qiao grow such a head? I, Niu Er, don't have such a head!" A young man in the crowd envied.

The people around him burst into laughter when they heard it, and one of them said, "Niu Er, you are good at chopping firewood and farming, but when it comes to reading, a hundred of you Niu Er can't compare to a talented Qiao." what!"

"Hey, that's, that's, Mr. Qiao is the one who is going to be the champion, I, Niu Er, admire him very much!" Niu Er rubbed his head and smiled innocently.

"Young Master Qiao is amazing! This guessing speed is too fast!"

"You don't even look at who Mr. Qiao is. He is the No. 1 child test in Qiantang County. Guessing lantern riddles is not a piece of cake!"

……

The onlookers shouted excitedly, faintly mixed with praises such as "you are worthy of being a child prodigy", "Young Master Qiao is the reincarnation of a Wenqu star", and some bold and hot girls kept winking at Qiao Chen'an, their eyes full of admiration color.

"you lose."

Qiao Chenan looked indifferent.

The cigarette curled up and steamed up, but only one-fifth of it was burned!

The short three words were like a sledgehammer hitting Lin Fei's mind hard, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot. He never thought that he would lose to Qiao Chen'an!
He has never liked poetry and poetry, but he prefers miscellaneous nonsense, especially in riddle guessing. There is absolutely no reason to lose, but he did not expect to be completely defeated by Qiao Chen'an in a short time. This is something he has never done before. thought about it!
The reason why he will have such a lantern riddle competition with Qiao Chenan tonight is that besides wanting to kill Qiao Chenan in front of Jiao Na, there is another more important reason.

His father, Lin Dafu, earned such a large family business in just a few years, and he is a real "upstart" in the eyes of outsiders. Naturally, he was inevitably labeled as a nouveau riche, a local rich man. big hat.

In the background of the "scholar, farmer, business" industry in this era, what he hates the most are those scholars who claim to be noble, especially Qiao Chen'an, who is the leader among them, is the object of his special hatred.

Tonight's guessing contest can be said to be a vent for his depression, but...

He guessed the beginning correctly, but missed the ending.

The figure in front of him was shaking, and Qiao Chen'an's figure had already appeared in front of him. Lin Fei held back the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a cold voice, "Brother Qiao is a great talent, I admire you."

After saying that, he wanted to turn around and leave.

But Qiao Chenan smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I wonder who won the lantern riddle guessing competition tonight?"

Lin Fei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, coughed unnaturally, and said with a dry smile: "Of course Brother Qiao won!"

But Qiao Chen'an suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Brother Lin, you probably forgot the rules you and I made before the game, right? What will happen if you lose?"

After speaking, he deliberately made an expression of 'I forgot'.

Lin Fei said with a dark face: "Of course I haven't forgotten..."

With so many people watching around, it was difficult for him to slip away, and his heart was full of anger, but he suppressed it, lowered his head and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "As long as you let me go, I will leave tomorrow." Send you 100 taels of silver!"

The smile in Qiao Chen'an's eyes was even bigger, and he thought to himself that this guy deserved to have a good father, and that 100 taels of silver was thrown out so casually, maybe someone else would really compromise.

Unfortunately, his answer was destined to disappoint Lin Fei.

Qiao Chen'an pretended to be surprised and said, "Brother Lin, who do you think I am, Qiao! A gentleman pays a thousand dollars for a promise, if I accepted your 100 taels of silver today, wouldn't I become a villain who broke my promise! You are You are hurting me!"

When he said this, he deliberately amplified his voice, and almost all the onlookers heard it. They all looked at the ugly Lin Fei. They had known the bet between the two for a long time, but they never thought that Lin Fei would actually think about it when things were about to come. to renege on...

Lin Fei was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. The contemptuous gazes of everyone on the street were like thousands of steel needles piercing him. Head, this kid definitely did it on purpose just now, otherwise why would he be so loud, just to make him look ugly in front of everyone.

Although the meaning in the words seems to be saying that what he did was to make him a villain, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Qiao Chenan secretly scolded him for being the real shameless villain. He had made a bet before, but now he wants to settle the matter with 100 taels of silver, isn't it just the behavior of a ready-made villain! ?
Lin Fei was furious in his heart, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he gritted his teeth and said, "What a talented Qiao, what do you do?"

The smile on Qiao Chen'an's face disappeared, and he said lightly: "Brother Lin, there is an old saying in our hometown called 'If you can't afford to lose, don't play'. There are many neighbors who testify. Brother Lin probably wants to go back on his word, right?"

"Why are these words so familiar?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Hey, isn't that what Mr. Lin said before the game!"

Only then did everyone remember what Lin Fei had just said before the match, but within a short time, the plot was completely reversed, and the group burst into laughter.

The group of people behind Lin Fei who were not so powerful before almost dropped their heads to the ground at this time, wishing they could disappear immediately.

Almost no one noticed the loopholes in Qiao Chen'an's words, only Jiao Na's expression moved slightly.

Lin Fei's face was so dark that it was the bottom of the pot. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Fly met the teacher!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed respectfully, and then walked towards the distance without saying a word, and the people behind hurriedly followed, this person is considered a big loser tonight, he doesn't want to stay here any longer !

"Happy! This Lin Fei is used to being arrogant, but today he fell into Mr. Qiao's hands!"

"He doesn't even look at who is challenging, Mr. Qiao is a genius, and he is comparable to him!"

Seeing the dingy look of Lin Fei and others, all the onlookers burst out laughing.

Lin Fei and his group were far away, and he seemed to be able to hear everyone's ridicule in his ears. When he reached the dark alley, he slammed his fist against the wall beside him, and said viciously, "I haven't been hurt since I was born." You have been bullied like this, Qiao Chenan, right, just wait for me!"

The people traveling with him saw that his eyes were about to burst, and he looked like he was going to eat people, and they knew that he was in a fit of anger, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

After a while, Lin Fei covered his hand that was beating the wall and cried out in pain...
