Chapter 181 Brain teasers!
Lu Zheng kept reminding himself to hold on, no matter what, he must hold on, and never be timid, but he never thought about others.
He can hold on, but others can't hold on.
Before the young man in white came to Yangzhou, she first went to Anqing Prefecture to show great power, throwing Zhao Muquan into the water and almost drowned. In Changzhou Prefecture, people below even beat Ruan Shaolin into a pig's head, which had a huge impact on Shilin, Changzhou.
Since Zhao Muquan and Ruan Shaolin first saw the boy in white, they couldn't help but tremble their legs. Lu Zheng's integrity in studying had long been completely discarded on them.
They were all cowardly, and Lu Zheng was left alone, and the scene seemed to be weak. The boy in white seemed to have the upper hand again. He carried his hands on his back and walked slowly to Lu Zheng, and said lightly:
"Lu Zheng, what if you are like them now and immediately apologize to me, and all your grudges and grudges have been written off before, what if you and me have been removed?"
Lu Zheng sneered in his heart. If he had not been a human being for two lifetimes and had extremely rich social experience, he would have been following the other party's words. He was a fool. Lu Zheng believed his words and saw a ghost!
The boy in white said this to give Lu Zheng an illusion that he had a step in front of him. Once Lu Zheng showed his timidity, he would immediately turn against him. The subsequent methods emerged one after another. Lu Zheng would even take off even if he didn't die!
Who is Lu Zheng? He could tell these things about them, and he knew very well. Now for him, there was no other choice except to go to the dark side. He immediately smiled and said, "The nobles in the North are indeed powerful. They are more talented than talent, and they are more powerful than power. However, you can suppress them, but you can't suppress me."
Lu Zheng paused and said, "I studied Mencius when I was young. The emperor highly praised the most by the Emperor of Dakang. The emperor once said in person that scholars should remember the words of the saint who said, "Wealth and honor cannot be lust, poverty and humbleness cannot be moved, and mighty and force cannot be betrayed." I, Lu Zheng, was upright, sat steadily, did not do bad things, and were not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
You said I teased women, and I was a scholar, and I was originally talking about the style, the graceful lady, the kindness of gentlemen, and the common sense of human nature. If the young master really wanted to respect himself, today the court examination gave him a banquet, what were you doing in this occasion?"
Lu Zheng said something wildly and carried out the old man of the emperor. The feedback he gave to the boy in white was just four words: "Don't be too hard!"
The boy in white hated Lu Zheng and gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing. He immediately turned his eyes to Zhao Muquan and others and said, "Are you all eating a good meal? Let's do this today. If anyone among you can compare with Lu Zheng in talent studies, I will have a lot of rewards!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Zheng, do you really think your talent can be the best in the world? I just don't agree with you. Today is the banquet for the college entrance examination. The talents from the three palaces are here. Let's compete with you together and share the same level!"
The boy in white is hard to get rid of the tiger now, Lu Zheng is not afraid, and the boy in white cannot use strong power, so he can't be afraid first. His status is noble and face is the most important. If he is timid, isn't that a joke?
If you can't be afraid, you can only face the difficulties and challenge Lu Zheng immediately.
But what are you competing? Couplet riddles seem to be Lu Zheng’s strengths, poetry, songs and essays. Lu Zheng has previously written "About Wine", "Dragon Boat" and "Ode to Plum Blossoms", which are all first-class masterpieces, and there are probably no one who can compete with him on the spot.
Could it be compared to calligraphy, painting, playing the piano, playing chess? Or even riding horses and archery in the Six Arts? The young man in white was unsure for a while!
Lu Zheng's thoughts on the boy in white were like watching the fire, and his mind immediately turned on. After having an idea, he immediately smiled and said:
"Okay, since Brother Guiren said this, no matter how humble I am, it's boring! Today, the talents from my three palaces gathered together, and the opportunity was rare. In addition, Brother Guiren came to support him, which made Yangzhou's plants shine.
Since it is a banquet comparison, it is just for fun. Although it is exciting to compare couplet riddles, it is too regular, which makes everyone reluctant to do so. Besides, Brother Guiren lost before and lost to couplet riddles. It would be a bit unreasonable to compare this!"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "In addition to couplets and riddles, poetry, songs, haha, this is not very similar. Let's do this, I have a game played by a boy with five or six years old. This game is called 'Brain Teasers', which is interesting and simple. A noble man from the North, are you interested in playing it?"
The boy in white was stunned and furious, saying, "Okay, Lu Zheng, he actually competed with me with the game of a boy with five or six years old. You bullied me too much."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't be angry, the noble son, although it is a game for boys of five or six years old, but boys of seven or eight years old can also play, and boys of nine or ten years old may not be able to answer correctly.
Let's try it first, okay? No, should I say, do you dare?"
Although the boy in white is dressed as a young man, he is actually a girl. Princess Qian is already abrupt and cannot bear it. Lu Zheng actually treats her as a boy of five or six years old. He also asked her if she dares to challenge her, and where can she stand it? She immediately said:
"Okay, let's talk about it, let me see what's so great 'brain teasers', you can talk about the rules!"
Lu Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Okay, listen well, Wang Er's father has three sons, the eldest son is called Dabao, the second son is called Erbao, and what is the third son's name? Brother Guiren, can you answer it?"
The boy in white raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Do you still need to ask such a simple question? The third son is naturally called Sanbao!"
"Wrong!" Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Look, I just said that although it is a game for boys with five or six years old, it can still stump boys with seven or eight years old?"
The boy in white blushed and said, "Lu Zheng, you are cheating, then what do you say you don't call the Three Treasures?"
Lu Zheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Muquan who was trembling on the side, and said, "Brother Zhao, do you know what you are called?"
Zhao Muquan said: "I think it is also called Sanbao. I support Mr. Qin!"
The boy in white said "Ha" and pointed at Lu Zheng with his finger and said, "Did you see it? He also thinks so, I want to see how you make a sophistry!"
Lu Zheng smiled again and looked around and said, "So many talented people and so many people, doesn't anyone know the answer to this question?"
There was a noise in the audience, and everyone whispered and whispered. Most of them agreed with the answer of the boy in white. For a moment, many fingers pointed at Lu Zheng and asked Lu Zheng to give an explanation.
Just at this moment, someone in the crowd whispered: "The third son should be called 'Wang Er'!"
The voice was very low, but as soon as this was said, the audience was silent. Many people suddenly came to their senses and couldn't speak.
The young man in white raised his eyebrows and said, "No, how could he call Wang..." He said halfway through the words, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at Lu Zheng. After two breaths, he said, "You... you are cheating! You... you... come again, come again... Humph, I didn't pay attention just now, I was not careful, it would be impossible for you to come again!"
Lu Zheng said: "I said this is the game that boy Wuliuling played. Look, the beginning of the question is about Wang Er's father's three sons, but he couldn't answer it even when he turned around. Isn't that very interesting?"
The banquet suddenly became chaotic and everyone whispered. I have to say that Lu Zheng’s questions were really simple, but they were difficult to answer. The answers were all on the blind spots of ordinary people’s thinking.
Where did the people present encounter such problems? They felt very novel and interesting for a while. Su Qing was particularly interested and said, "Brain teasers? It's quite appropriate, interesting and interesting!"
Lu Zheng said again: "You are good at listening to it. The second question is that there are seven monkeys on the tree and one monkey under the tree. I shot one monkey with a bow and arrow to death, and how many monkeys are left?"
The boy in white was slightly stunned and blurted out: "There are seven monkeys left!"
"Wrong! There is still a monkey left!"
Before Lu Zheng could ask the boy in white, he immediately said, "The monkey is the smartest. One monkey was shot to death, and the other monkeys had already escaped. Naturally, only the monkey was shot to death, so there was still one monkey left!"
"Uh..." The boy in white had a green face. She opened her mouth wide, her lips tilted, and her breathing was very rapid, but she couldn't say a word.
The noise around was even louder, and everyone was attracted by Lu Zheng's novel and strange problems. They all seemed to have discovered a new world, feeling very novel!
"Come again, come again, I won't believe it!" The young man in white didn't believe it anymore.
Lu Zheng said again: "When Wang Er wrote one word, why do everyone say he wrote a typo?"
"Do you still need to ask this question? Wang Er didn't care about his studies, so he wrote it wrong!"
"Wrong, the word Wang Er wrote is the word 'wrong'! Brother Guiren, how about it? Is it a game that Wuliu Lingtong plays?"
The boy in white was eating with red ears, and was so angry that he shivered all over. Lu Zheng's questions were clearly traps, but they were clearly very simple. He just answered the problem wrongly.
This situation is the most annoying. It is obviously simple but it is wrong. I don’t know how Lu Zheng came up with these questions. It’s really hateful.
"Come again, come again, I won't believe it today! Continue, I can definitely answer!" The boy in white had red eyes and turned into a gambler who had lost his eyes. Today, he and Lu Zheng were forced to do so.
Lu Zheng said again: "It's still Wang Er's problem. Wang Er's stomach is obviously bloated, why is he still old..."
“…
"Wrong..."
“Come again, come again…
“…”
"I'm wrong again..."
Lu Zheng asked a question like a bamboo tube pouring beans, but the young man in white couldn't answer a question. Judging from his appearance, his face turned red, but he just refused to admit defeat. If his eyes could kill people, Lu Zheng would probably have died a hundred times!
