Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1895 Women's Struggle 03

Xie Fu said loudly: "Twice, I admit it!" Then he smiled and said: "It's not like you haven't been beaten before, but you girls who haven't been beaten before are in trouble, don't cover your face with shame later."

Wang Yuwo sneered: "You'll be beaten to pieces soon, let's see where this uncle's dignity is."

Chen Linglong was a little nervous. She didn't want to be criticized in front of others, no matter who the person was, even if he was her uncle.

Since we met, she has always called me uncle and has never used any other title. It is almost impossible to change this.

I secretly made up my mind that I would just talk less for a while.

Everyone sat down, and in order to avoid making mistakes, they spoke very sparingly.

Xie Fu's original intention was to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease, not to be restrained by their status, and to make everyone equal regardless of their status. He never thought that the punishment was too harsh and caused everyone to become cautious.

This was not his intention. Just as he was thinking about how to lighten the atmosphere, he heard Su Qianqian ask, "Master Xie, when I first came here, I heard you talking about good things and rewards. It was so lively. What were you guys playing?"

Su Qianqian had been brewing this sentence in her mind for a long time, and it would naturally not be wrong to say it out loud. It was not her intention for the atmosphere to become so depressing, so naturally she needed to make an effort to diffuse it.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "It's like this. We are guessing lantern riddles. If we can't guess them, we have to perform. Yuwo's ​​piano music just now was really beautiful. I said I would reward her with a cup of tea."

Su Qianqian said "oh" and looked very interested: "Then continue."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Okay." He was just wondering how to liven up the atmosphere again.

But Wang Yuwo said, “Qianqian, I advise you not to, Uncle…” Wang Yuwo stopped himself in time, it is really easy to call someone wrong when you are used to it.

Xie Fu was excited: "What?"

Wang Yuwo smiled softly: "The riddles given by this guy with a thick neck and a big head are both weird and outlandish. It's okay if you can't guess them. If you do, you will be embarrassed to death."

Xie Fu laughed and said, "I don't know who first came up with these weird and vulgar riddles, which are both cover-ups and nose-burning. I followed suit and learned from someone."

Su Qianqian was curious: "What do you mean by 'covering up' or 'burning the nose'? What's so weird about this riddle, and what's so vulgar about it?"

Wang Yuwo said to Xie Fu, "Okay, stop talking."

Everyone has a shy side. Wang Yuwo is usually lively and coquettish, but that is only in front of people she looks down upon. She is in a superior position psychologically, so naturally she doesn't care what these people think. But in this situation today, she still attaches great importance to her image.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "If you want me to not say anything, Yuwo, you should say something nice first."

Wang Yuwo's ​​eyes rolled around and she looked at Xie Fu with a sweet smile. Suddenly, she called "goose, goose, goose" three times in a row, each time getting louder.

Xie Fu was stunned at first, but then he burst into laughter after he realized what was happening.

Chen Linglong, who was as cold as frost, blushed quietly in her ears. Wang Yuwo was so bold that she actually talked about that secret between close friends in front of others. Others could not understand, but she was influenced by it all. At that time, her uncle praised Wang Yuwo for her charming voice.

But her uncle said she was a mute and she would not scream out, no matter how painful it was or how fast it hurt, even if she bit off her tongue, it would be useless!

Su Qianqian was puzzled: "Xie Fu, what are you laughing at?"

Xie Fu stopped laughing and was about to speak when he couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Su Xianren, who was standing by, was proud of his intelligence and explained to Su Qianqian: "Aunt, this is a poem, often sung as a children's song, and it sounds good when I sing it."

Then he cleared his throat and said, "Geese, geese, geese, they sing with their necks bent toward the sky. Their white feathers float on the green water, and their red feet stir the clear waves."

The poem itself had rhyme, and when it was made into a nursery rhyme, it had changes in tune, so it sounded pleasant to Su Xianren's ears when he sang it.

After finishing the song, Su Xianren said proudly, "Master, my singing is not worse than hers, who do you think is better?"

Xie Fu was stunned and couldn't laugh for a moment. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Yuwo chuckled and covered his mouth to hold back his laughter: "This is impossible to compare. Your master needs to give you on-the-spot instructions before you can tell which is better." He sneered and said: "I'm afraid it will turn into a wolf howling and a ghost howling."

Su Xianren scolded: "What did you say? My voice is sweet and will never turn into the howling of a wolf or a ghost."

Wang Yuwo was about to reply when Xie Fu interrupted him: "Wang Yuwo, stop it!"

Su Qianqian also pulled Su Xianren's sleeve and signaled Su Xianren to shut up with her eyes. She was not really stupid and could totally tell that they were playing dumb and saying something she could not understand.

Xie Fu's expression changed quickly, and he said with a chuckle: "I originally wanted you to call me Lang Jun."

Su Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. This kind of teasing would make her angry on the spot, but it could even result in death. She still remembered that when the four of them followed Li Xiaosha to Shenwu Peak, they met a scoundrel who teased the eldest sister on the way. The eldest sister was furious, and the second brother was even more vicious. He took out a whip on the spot and whipped the scoundrel in the abdomen, beating the evil creature until he was bloody and died in pain.

He immediately began to rebuke her lightly: "Xie Fu, you are so shameless. Whenever you meet a beautiful young lady, you want to be her husband." He turned Xie Fu's words into a joke and praised Wang Yuwo in disguise.

Wang Yuwo smiled and said, "Qianqian, is this guy a repeat offender?"

Su Qianqian smiled and nodded: "It's a habitual offender."

Xie Fu sighed, "Qianqian..." He stopped and swallowed the word "sister" and changed his words: "Ms. Qianqian, you said I am a habitual offender, then give me an example."

"Then let me tell you, in case you deny it, what did you say when you first met the four of us?"

"What to say?"

"You are pretending to be stupid, right? I know it clearly. When you saw the four of us, you pointed at us and started counting. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight big buns."

Su Xianren listened in confusion: "Aunt, isn't it four people? How did you count to eight?"

Su Qianqian said bluntly: "Two per person, that's eight."

"Two?" Su Xianren suddenly realized, and with an "oh", he glanced at his aunt's chest, which was indeed worthy of the word "big steamed buns".

Xie Fu laughed: "I am indeed counting the buns."

"Then why count to eight?"

"I have exactly eight in my bag, not seven or nine."

Su Qianqian said: "Okay, let's get this out of the way. I will never get tired of eating you a thousand times, and the feeling of eating you is like March. What's with this sentence?"

Chen Linglong's heart was moved, and the image of Xie Fu, who was as well-behaved and quiet as a child, immediately emerged in her mind. At that time, she just felt so happy. At this moment, the scene replayed in her mind, and her face seemed to be smoked by heat.

Xie Fu laughed: "You rich girls don't know the pain of being hungry. When you are extremely hungry, if you have a steamed bun in your hand, you will never get tired of eating it a thousand times. Eating you feels like March."

"Su Qianqian, I remember you were very hungry at that time. Think carefully about how it felt to eat the steamed buns at that time."

Su Qianqian recalled and suddenly reached out to hit Xie Fu: "You're so annoying."

Su Xianren opened his eyes and said, "What happened at that time!"

Xie Fu was puzzled: "Hate it, Su Qianqian, please speak more clearly."

"Hao, you were deceived by those two steamed buns." When the four of us, including the eldest sister, gathered together and talked about this matter, we all said that we were deceived by his few steamed buns.

Xie Fu was like a frivolous young man: "Su Qianqian, you only have two steamed buns, but I don't have any."

"I mean the two buns in your bag."

"What's in my bag aren't considered steamed buns. They're just two nuts at most." These were the words that the ladies in the brothel had used to tease him, and Xie Fu was just using them for reference.

Chen Linglong wanted to cover her ears. Why was it her uncle who said such things? Otherwise, she could just kill him with a sword and clear her ears and eyes.

Su Qianqian said angrily: "I'm not talking about your spring..."

Su Qianqian braked in time, but Su Xianren was so excited that he held his breath, his heart pounding. Her aunt also knew about this.

Xie Fu blinked: "Chun what?"

Su Qianqian said sternly: "Can you please be more sensible? Xianren, this virgin girl, is still here?"

Xie Fu looked at Su Xianren and said, "Xianren, go down first. It's not convenient for you, a child, to listen to the adults' conversation."

Su Xianren was furious when he heard that. He held his head high and said, "I'm not! How can I be like a child? I have everything you have."

Xie Fu said calmly: "I think it's okay to let her sit in on the class, so that she won't be ignorant of anything and won't know when she gets cheated by a man."

You must be kidding. A willful and capricious young lady like Su Xianren would not understand. As far as he knew, some young ladies from wealthy families would tease and play with the male servants in the mansion when they reached the age of 15. This could be seen from the fact that Su Xianren had that kind of unclean poison in her body.

"Who said anything about me..." Su Xianren paused and changed his words: "Yes, I have to stay and listen, so that you won't be deceived by men in the future."

Su Qianqian said: "Let's get back to the topic and guess the lantern riddles."

Xie Fu said: "Okay, since you are so interested, I will tell you a riddle proposed by a decent person, so that some people won't always say that the riddles I propose are weird and vulgar."

Su Qianqian was very interested: "Come out quickly."

On weekdays, the four of them also guessed riddles. The eldest sister was the most knowledgeable and good at guessing. The fourth sister was also good, but the second sister knew nothing at all. In fact, she was not bad either, but she was always overshadowed by the eldest and fourth sister. Now that the two of them are no longer there, the limelight must be hers.

"Please listen. The riddle is: There are three thousand beauties in the harem. Guess an idiom."

Chen Linglong cried out in her heart, and just then Wang Yuwo looked at her with a malicious smile, his eyes seemed to say, do you think your uncle will let you go? Don't be naive.

Chen Linglong simply turned slightly sideways.

The funny thing is that Xie Fu didn't even look at Chen Linglong, as if it had nothing to do with her at the moment.

Su Xianren usually had no interest in guessing riddles, but today he was very interested in this atmosphere. He hoped to perform well in front of his master, so he thought hard, but he was not good at it and had no idea at all.

Su Qianqian thought for a moment and smiled, "There is a passage in the Wei Shu·Biography of Kou Zhi: He is afraid of powerful families, and he is unable to hold on to anything. The answer to the riddle is "He is afraid of powerful families, and he is unable to hold on to anything."

The reason why I mentioned this source is that, firstly, it conforms to the literal meaning of the idiom, and secondly, it fits the original meaning of the idiom to follow and cater to.

Xie Fu exclaimed, and looked at Su Qianqian with admiration. He was a little uncomfortable with the silly Qianqian becoming so intelligent and refined: "I can't tell, Su Qianqian."

Su Qianqian's true nature was revealed, and she said happily: "You guessed it, didn't you? Don't think that your sister Qianqian is stupid and illiterate." She poked Xie Fu's face with her finger and said delicately: "I am willing to let you deceive me, and you can deceive me."

Xie Fu changed the subject: "No!"

Su Qianqian was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Wrong is wrong. You can't guess the lantern riddles just by being knowledgeable. In addition to being flexible and clever, the most important thing is to guess the riddle maker's mind."

Su Qianqian was dissatisfied: "I don't know who the riddle is, how can I guess his thoughts?"

Xie Fu asked with a smile: "Where did these three thousand beauties in the harem come from?"

"The Song of Everlasting Regret."

"Since it is from the Song of Everlasting Sorrow, please read the whole poem aloud."

Su Qianqian sang out loud: "The Emperor of Han was obsessed with beauty and wanted to conquer the country, but he could not get it after ruling for many years... The maidservant helped her up, weak and feeble, and it was the beginning of her new grace. With her hair like clouds and her face like flowers, she wore a golden hairpin, and spent the night in the warm hibiscus tent."

When he got to this point, he slowly stopped and became thoughtful.

Xie Fu laughed and said, "This poem is about what you cannot ask for, being weak and helpless, a time of grace, a golden step-shaking ornament, and a night of spring. If you say Cheng Yanhouse, wouldn't that spoil the mood? You have to study the riddler's mind to guess the correct answer."

Chen Linglong blurted out: "Nonsense!"

Chen Linglong has always been very cool and quiet, but her sudden words really made a splash.

Su Qianqian looked at Chen Linglong in confusion, not understanding why she was so excited.

Chen Linglong said slowly: "Mrs. Li, don't listen to his nonsense."

Su Qianqian felt that Chen Linglong was a little angry, so she smiled and asked softly, "Linglong, what do you mean?"

"Because I came up with this riddle. It's not what my uncle said at all."

Xie Fu whispered to Wang Yuwo: "This is the second time. Did you remember it?"

Wang Yuwo rolled his eyes and ignored him. The uncle didn't know Chen Linglong's personality very well. In private, she was tolerant without any bottom line, which was already her limit. If she was pushed to the limit in front of others, she would really leave.

Su Qianqian said in surprise: "So this riddle was asked by you, Linglong. I'll have to guess it carefully then."

Chen Linglong said coldly: "Mrs. Li, stop guessing."

Su Qianqian asked curiously: "Linglong, what's wrong?"

Chen Linglong, however, remained silent and looked cold. Xie Fu was not worried about it. Since it was just a hodgepodge, any accidents could happen.

Su Qianqian noticed something was wrong, so she decided to quit and said with a smile, "Since this riddle is a bit difficult, Linglong is afraid that I won't be able to guess it and make a fool of myself, so I will accept Linglong's kindness and stop guessing."

When Chen Linglong heard this, although her face was cold, her eyes showed friendliness and gratitude.

Originally, the matter was just over, but Xie Fu kept bringing it up: "Linglong, you just did it three times. According to the agreement, you have to be slapped three times."

Chen Linglong felt a groan in her heart and froze in place, unable to admit it or not. Her face looked grim and she felt more miserable than death.

Su Qianqian looked at Chen Linglong's cool and fairy-like image, and felt that treating her like this was simply unjust: "This... this..." But she couldn't find a reason to free Chen Linglong for a moment, and she was very anxious.

Xie Fu looked calm and smiled at Chen Linglong, waiting for her response. It was very tiring for a person to be reserved all the time.

Under Xie Fu's gaze, Chen Linglong returned to her usual coldness and said calmly, "Today we will cede five cities, tomorrow we will cede ten cities, and then we can sleep peacefully for one night. When we get up and look around, the Qin army is here again."

After saying all this inexplicably, he smiled faintly and said: "Don't mention three slaps, even if it's a hundred slaps, I'll accept it." Although his words were light, they were full of the spirit of a king who died for his country.

Su Qianqian walked to Chen Linglong and glared at Xie Fu: "Today we will cede five cities, tomorrow we will cede ten cities, and then we can sleep peacefully for one night. When we get up and look around, the Qin army is here again."

Although Wang Yuwo often teased Chen Linglong, she always regarded Chen Linglong as an old sister in her heart. She walked to Chen Linglong's side, looked at Xie Fu and said, "Today we will cede five cities, tomorrow we will cede ten cities, and then we can sleep well for one night. When we get up, we will see that the Qin army has arrived again."

Chen Linglong felt warm in her heart.

Xie Fu smiled in his heart, this was the advantage of the hodgepodge, it made the three of them united in their hatred of the enemy. If he was to be the bad guy, then it would be fine for him to be the bad guy. He smiled and said, "So, I am the Qin soldier."
