Chapter 139 Guessing the Riddle
After Qiao Zhi left, Jiang Sheng thought about not keeping Qiao Shu and Qiao Zhi waiting too long, so he answered faster.

Pei Luoshu and Li Ziyu were also very fast.

After a while, they all arrived in front of No.40's six lanterns, and there were very few people flocking beside them, making the surrounding area seem wider.

Jiang Sheng took the note from the hand of the maid, and was stunned for a while.

Compared with the riddles with at least five words and a few dozen more words just now, the paper in her hand now looks very clean.

The riddle is just one word - "Good"

The answer to the riddle is idioms.

Jiang Sheng guessed wildly: "Smart and cute? Cute and cute? Naive? Innocent? Innocent?"

The series of four-character words she typed made the palace maid stunned.The palace maid quietly glanced at the answer, and then said, "Neither of them."

what is that?
Jiang Sheng stared at the paper, and there were too few clues.

But guessing that there were not many people here, the maid did not urge her, she had more time to think.

Jiang Sheng was not in a hurry anymore.

During the time of thinking, Pei Luoshu and Li Ziyu went from one cup behind her to one cup ahead of her.Jiang Yan was still in front of No.40 six, and seemed to be stuck.

Someone overtook them from behind, including acquaintances of Pei Luoshu and Li Ziyu, who called them out loudly.

Li Ziyu pushed Pei Luoshu: "Brother Yang is catching up."

Jiang Sheng, who was thinking hard, looked along the voice.

Yang Chengchen was finishing answering the No.40 four lantern riddles and walking towards the previous one. He was about to finish answering quickly so that he could join Pei Luoshu and Li Ziyu when he suddenly froze.

Jiang Sheng was wearing a satin fox-legged cloak, and the cloak was trimmed with a circle of heavy fur, which made her face smaller. Reflected by the lantern, her face was glowing with luster.

Yang Chengchen uttered, with a hint of bitterness, "...Ms. Jiang."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "Young Master Yang."

Li Ziyu in front said loudly: "Meet an acquaintance again? Don't greet Yang brother, take the lantern riddle!"

"Oh." Only then did Yang Chengchen come to his senses, took the paper, and began to think about the answer, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Sheng from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Sheng frowned slightly, puzzled, he hesitated whether to go over and ask, but before he could make up his mind, he saw someone walking by beside him.

It was Jiang Yan, and Yang Chengchen's pupils shrank.

In fact, he still blamed Jiang Yan a little in his heart.If he hadn't been threatened by Jiang Yan that day, he wouldn't have given up so quickly when he was told by his mother that the Marquis of Jiangping had no intention of marrying their family.

Mother also said that Jiang Sheng's background is not very good, and the Hou family has no intentions, so don't force it.But she can get here, even faster than herself... It can be seen that the Jiangping Hou Mansion has indeed raised this daughter well.

What does it matter whether it is an adopted daughter or a biological daughter?
Yang Chengchen regretted it a bit, he should stick to it.

There was a chair next to the forty lamp stand, Jiang Sheng couldn't figure it out, so he rested on the chair.

Seeing that Jiang Yan was also sitting on the chair next to him, Jiang Sheng asked, "You don't know it either?"

Jiang Yan said "um", sincerely: "It's too difficult."

Jiang Sheng leaned forward to look, Jiang Yan turned the paper towards her

——"The head is like a knife, the tail is like a hook, the center is horizontal and wide, four corners and six axes, the right side has two negative blades, and the left side is double ox" (type one character)
Jiang Sheng blinked.

Let her guess this, she will definitely not be able to guess it, but it is a coincidence that she has seen it.

Jiang Sheng raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yan: "It's turtle characters."

Simplified characters were also used in this dynasty, so Jiang Sheng has been here for so long, so he can be considered illiterate for the time being.

"Can you write the traditional Chinese characters for 'turtle'?"

Jiang Yan wrote "Turtle" on the back of the paper.

Jiang Sheng stared for a moment and shook his head: "It's not this."

Jiang Yan wrote "" again.

"Yes!" Jiang Sheng smiled, "The answer to the riddle is this word."

Seeing that Jiang Yan wrote without hesitation, she felt guilty again.If she wanted to explain why it was this word, she wouldn't - but she had seen it so she remembered it.

But what if I get it wrong?

Jiang Yan walked over to hand in the note, but Jiang Sheng felt a little uneasy.It's like discussing a topic in middle school, teaching a classmate an answer that she is not very sure about, and waiting for the teacher to correct her mood.

After Jiang Yan came over, she asked, "Is that right?"

After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, she breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Jiang Yan ask again: "Where's yours?"

"good."

Jiang Sheng showed him his note.

Jiang Yan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and realized when he touched the handwriting on the paper, his mind turned slightly, and he just said: "'Guai' and 'Cheng' are very similar."

"What?" Jiang Sheng seemed to have caught a little thought, "Which city?"

"The 'multiply' of an opportunity."

Jiang Sheng's eyes moved slightly, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he stood up from the chair: "I see!"

She couldn't think of the answer, and suddenly she was a little excited, and her voice was inevitably louder, which attracted several people around to look over.

Jiang Sheng blushed, and then remembered that it wasn't just him and the back desk classroom during the lunch break.

"What is it?" Jiang Yan asked.

He took a step, just blocking the sight of others.Jiang Sheng wrote down the answer and showed it to him, his joy was beyond words.

——"Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness"

Jiang Yan seemed to suddenly realize: "Oh, it should be this."

Jiang Sheng jumped over to hand in the paper, happily picked up the No. 40 seven lantern riddles, and answered them, then went to answer the next one, and soon caught up with Pei Luoshu and the others.

When Jiang Yan saw the enigma under the two lamps, his eyes moved slightly.

Finally waited.

He took his note and walked to Jiang Sheng's side, with a faint smile in his voice: "I won't."

He spoke so frankly that Jiang Sheng paused for a moment before leaning over to read the riddle on the paper

Very simple four words - "gold and tinsel everywhere"

"The answer to the mystery is the name of the herb?"

"That's right." Jiang Yan looked innocent, "Ginseng? Lily? Plantain? I only remember these few."

"Yes..." Jiang Sheng scratched the paper, "Dihuang."

Fresh Rehmannia glutinosa, a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Radix Rehmanniae, cold in nature; sweet and bitter in taste; Guixin, liver and kidney channels; clearing heat and cooling blood, nourishing yin and promoting body fluid.

Li Ziyu, who was meditating on the three lantern riddles, asked: "This girl also memorizes the names of herbs."

Pei Luoshu knew her after seeing her in Shanrentang.

"Brother Yang." Li Ziyu patted Yang Chengchen with a smile, "Don't think too hard, go and ask for advice."

I don't know the taste of herbs, and I can't think of them.

Yang Chengchen felt a little uncomfortable: "I..."

He felt a little embarrassed at first, what if the answer to the mystery was simple, didn't he appear to be clueless...

But Yang Chengchen thought about it, isn't this a ready-made excuse?Then he summoned up his courage and said: "Miss Jiang, the answer to my riddle is also the name of the herbal medicine. I wonder if you can help me find it."

Yang Chengchen approached, wanting to show Jiang Sheng his note.

Jiang Yan suddenly took a step forward, pulled Jiang Sheng away calmly, and said with a smile: "There is only one lantern, Mr. Yang's behavior, I'm afraid it's not very good?"

 "The head is like a knife, the tail is like a hook, the center is wide and wide, four corners and six axes, the right side has two negative blades, and the left side is double ox."
