Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

Ang Lee has seen this kind of scenes many times, and he was not angry. He just raised his thumbs up and praised Zhan Doudou, meaning that his sister is so beautiful that she can't hide her brilliance no matter where she goes.

Look, while attracting bees and butterflies, aren’t all these little bees coming?

Zhan Doudou blushed and gave Li An a blank look. She ignored the young man and asked the servant, "Let's start guessing the next level!"

"Ah, this?" The servant turned to look at Zhu Wenlong, as if asking for his opinion. This little guy has his own way of survival. After being in the capital for so long, how could he not see that people on both sides are not easy to mess with?

Zhu Wenlong had bowed when he spoke just now, but now he was frozen in mid-air. He had an awkward smile on his face, but he was still attentive, his demeanor was still as impressive as ever. He filtered out the rude behavior of the lady in front of him, and his eyes became even more eager.

It's not that he is a masochist, the reason is simple, the beauty in front of him is too attractive, he is deeply moved!

Although Ang Lee didn't like the increasingly eager look in this guy's eyes, he also knew that it was because the girl was too eye-catching, so it was not surprising that people would have a favorable impression of her. After all, everyone loves beauty. It's impossible that this look would appear everywhere on the street, so he would beat up everyone on the street, right?

Zhu Wenlong hadn't said anything yet, but the people behind him were almost unable to hold back their excitement. Seeing that chaos was about to happen, he stopped his friend and said calmly, "Miss, if you are interested, then let's start the fourth level of guessing puzzles!"

After receiving the instructions, the servant continued to explain the riddle.

Zhan Doudou seemed to be in a bad mood, and didn't say much afterwards. It was as if she didn't even want this person to hear her own voice.

She pulled Li An's sleeve and whispered, "Little thief, I still want to hear you praise my good looks. It really makes me uncomfortable when others say that!"

Li An smiled gently, comforted the beauty in a soft voice, and no longer cared about the riddle.

This gave these young masters a chance to show off their talents!

Mr. Zhu was polite and courteous, tapping his palms with his fan and accepting the praise from everyone in the room. Although there was a smug look in his eyes, he was still very elegant and refined, which made everyone feel very good about him.

He just waved his hand and gave all the lanterns he won to many girls present. This action earned him a lot of cheers and applause.

So, he became even more arrogant!

After coughing twice and adjusting his slightly dry voice, he tried to strike up a conversation with Zhan Doudou again, saying, "Miss, do you want the Nine Lotus Treasure Lamp at the top? If you do, just ask and I will win it for you!"

He thought that after reaching the fourth level of the riddle, the difficulty of the questions asked by the servant suddenly increased. The man next to the girl didn't answer any of them. If he wanted the lamp at the top, he could only look at himself. If he wanted to rely on the man next to her, it would be nothing but a fool's dream!

Zhan Doudou was inexplicably angry. Seeing that Li An was unmoved, she couldn't help but get angry and ordered Li An in a tone that would not brook refusal: "Little Anzi, why don't you win the lamp for me as soon as possible?"

"As ordered!"

Ang Lee laughed. Seeing that his consolation had been fruitless, he thought that this was a turning point and could not help but become playful and cooperate with the performance.

Take out your phone, open the guessing app, and be careful not to get into trouble.

He gestured to the servant and said loudly, "Ask the questions!"

His hands were ready to type, and he could give the answer in seconds! This scene and this posture were indescribably domineering and funny?

Chapter 169 Lantern Festival .

The crowd applauded and cheered.

The servant had not expected to reach the last puzzle so quickly. According to the shopkeeper's estimate, it took less than half the time to get here. The reason for this scene was these two men and one woman!

If you guys are jealous, please stay out of here and don't make things difficult for me, okay?

The servant was secretly angry, but he was very confident about the last couplet of the riddle. How difficult was this couplet? If I had to describe it, it would be the last additional question in the college entrance examination mathematics exam! The servant regained his usual confidence in making jokes. He slowly opened the paper under the lantern and gave the riddle:

"It is neither black, nor white, nor red or yellow. It is like a fox, wolf, cat or dog. It is neither a domestic animal nor a wild beast."

this.

Everyone was confused. They rubbed their eyes and looked at the note carefully. They recognized all the words on the note, so why couldn't they understand them when they put them together?

"My boy, don't tell me you wrote this up randomly!"

"That's right, what the hell is this? If you don't want to give away the treasure lantern on the top, don't do these gimmicks!"

"Ms. Tian, ​​it seems that I won't be able to win the lantern today. It's not that I can't answer, it's just that I have an unbearable stomachache. Look, my stomach hurts again!"

The most embarrassed person was Li Ang, his smile froze on his face.

This question is difficult. Just as Li An was about to search for the riddle and everyone was discussing it, the servant spoke next.

"Don't worry, gentlemen and ladies! This is only the first line of the riddle. There is also a second line! Guess one character for each line. The two characters together form a word, and it is related to the Lantern Festival. Please take a look!"

"It is neither a poem, nor a ci poem, nor the Analects of Confucius. It is vague about east, west, south, and north. Although it is a short piece, it is also a wonderful piece of writing!"

After reading it, everyone had some ideas, and they were thinking hard and eager to guess the riddles. Men, women, old and young all had sad faces and scratched their heads, as if they had racked their brains but still got nothing.

Mr. Zhu was also in deep thought, and his friends behind him were all aware of their own abilities and did not expect to be able to answer him. They just kept quiet and did not disturb Zhu Wenlong's thoughts.

And what about Li An? He is busy checking the APP!

I tried several answers but couldn’t find a similar question, so I opened the magical Baidu app in a hurry. In just a moment, the answer popped up.

It turns out that Ang Lee's smile did not disappear, it just moved to another place and now it is back on his face!

He looked at the people who were still thinking, and marveled at the convenience of mobile phones. At first, he tried to solve it himself, but reality taught him a hard lesson.

"Lee An, do you have an answer?"

Zhan Doudou thought for a moment, and she had to admit that she couldn't solve it. Seeing that everyone looked the same, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then placed all her hopes on Li Ang.

Li An nodded and looked at Zhu Wenlong.

"Mr. Zhu, can you come up with an answer?"

Seeing that he ignored her, she chuckled. In fact, it is possible that there were smart people who guessed the answer, but because of the son of the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, they dared not say it in person, after all, they did not want to steal his limelight.

From the difficulty of the fourth-level riddles, it can be seen that Zhu Wenlong is very talented and has some quick wits. If he is given enough time, he should be able to answer it.

But now that Ang Lee already knows the answer, he won't give him a chance!

"Then let me tell you the answer! The answer is actually: guess the riddle!"

Even if Li An gave the answer, everyone present was still confused and didn't understand. Only Zhu Wenlong suddenly raised his head and understood what Li An said.

"Xiao Anzi, explain quickly!"

Zhan Doudou began to doubt his own IQ.

Ang Lee explained the answer to Zhan Doudou and the people present: The character “guess” has “青” on the right, so it is neither black, white, red, nor yellow. The radical on the left is “犭”, which can be used to represent fox, wolf, cat, or dog, but it is nothing.

After Ang Lee’s explanation, the word “谜” in the second couplet becomes easy to understand.

Didn’t you see that Zhan Doudou was able to answer the questions quickly?

"Poems, lyrics, and the Analects all have the character '言' (words) on the radical. Although the riddle is short, it is full of mysteries. It can certainly be called a wonderful piece of writing! Xiao Anzi, do you think I solved it correctly?" Zhan Doudou's eyes lit up, waiting for someone's praise.

"Not bad!"

Li An was halfway through showing off his prowess in front of others when Doudou stole the limelight, and immediately he was full of sarcasm. Zhan Doudou was so angry that he bared his teeth.

After listening to the explanations of the two people, everyone suddenly realized the truth and couldn't help but praise the person who wrote the two couplets. At the same time, they were also curious about the handsome young man in front of them. He was so talented in writing, but his clothes were ordinary. I don't know why he hasn't become famous or achieved anything yet?

"Great!" Mr. Zhu smiled and did not mention his previous impoliteness. He was very attentive now. "Thank you for your courtesy, sir. May I know your name? I was not very good at judging you just now. I did not expect you to be so talented. Who is your teacher and where do you live?"

This is to find out my background!

Seeing that everyone's eyes towards Zhu Wenlong became kinder, Li An looked down on him in his heart. This literati's status was just high, and if he was a little more yielding and humble, he would win a lot of goodwill.

He smiled and responded, "I'll live in the capital. Please don't mention your surname, Li."

Master Zhu let out a long "oh", as if he had admired her for a long time, and then turned the topic to Zhan Doudou and said, "I see, my name is Zhu Wenlong, it's an honor to meet you. I wonder what about this young lady? She is so beautiful, like a fairy from the Moon Palace who has fallen into the mortal world. I wonder where she is from?"

Even when praised for her appearance in person, Zhan Doudou remained indifferent. She was thinking, at the first court meeting after the new year, she should find a reason to dismiss her father, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice!

Would they say that because he stepped into the hall with his left foot first, this was disrespectful to him, and so he was dismissed from his post or transferred to a distant place?

Inappropriate or inappropriate.

Well, this Zhu Wenlong is at least two orders of magnitude thicker than me! Li An snorted lightly, and held Zhan Doudou's hand unnoticeably, with a smile on his face, and said calmly: "This is my wife."

Zhan Doudou was shocked!

Bitch, Bitch? You can't say "Madam", right?

Wait! The lady is wrong too!

In short, Zhan Doudou plans to use the reason he just thought of on Li Ang!

Although he suffered a loss, Zhan Doudou did not refute anything and acquiesced. However, Li An's palms were already bruised.

Sure enough, after the beauty acquiesced, Mr. Zhu's enthusiasm disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just thinking about Li An's literary talent, he invited him: "I wonder if you two are interested in going into the restaurant with me. Now this restaurant has been booked by my companions. I originally planned to have a small gathering with friends from the academy, so we agreed to come here tonight to enjoy the lanterns. First, to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, and second, to guess some lantern riddles to kill time."

Li An took the Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern from the servant and gave it to Zhan Doudou. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Zhan Doudou say, "Okay, I'm a little hungry!"

Li An looked at Zhan Doudou. Although he didn't know why she wanted to go into the building, since she wanted to go, he would naturally accompany her. He just asked one more question: "Are you all students of Shangjing Academy?

"Not bad!"

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way!"

"Please come upstairs and enjoy the lanterns together!"

Zhu Wenlong's eyes sparkled with light, and his smile became more genuine and brilliant. He said hello to the servant who was cleaning up nearby, and then took the lead to walk towards the lobby of the restaurant.

Chapter 170 Lantern Festival .

Zhu Wenlong led the two of them upstairs, turning back from time to time to talk to them. He spoke for a long time and seemed polite and somewhat humorous. In terms of eloquence, he was quite outstanding.

Going up to the third floor, there were several private rooms filled with noise, laughter and cheers.

Li An looked up and observed the environment in the restaurant. These were all subconscious actions, and he was cautious because of many unexpected things. He saw that the interior layout was very grand and simple, with lanterns of various colors and shapes hanging everywhere, which looked brightly lit and very elegant. There were many round tables and stools in the lobby, and many people were sitting around the tables, with the four treasures of the study placed on them. Some were writing, and some were playing the piano. It was so lively!

Seeing Zhu Wenlong coming, two people came forward to greet him.

The few of them must be very familiar with each other. They clasped their fists and bowed, then said, "Brother Zhu, why are you here just now? You are late and you will have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty!"

Zhu Wenlong smiled and bowed in response, "I was delayed by some trivial matters just now, so I came late, but by chance I met two interesting people."

The two followed Zhu Wenlong's gaze and looked at Zhan Doudou and the other person beside him. Their drunken minds suddenly cleared up and they said in surprise, "Brother Zhu, which family did you find this young lady from? She's so beautiful!"

Zhu Wenlong nodded slightly: "These two are both from Shangjing City. Not only are they handsome, but they are also talented and knowledgeable. I admire them very much, so I invited you to come together." This Mr. Zhu was playing a trick. There were many people at this time, and most of them were students from Shangjing College, with extraordinary family backgrounds. If he asked the other party's name at this time, the other party would surely not be able to refuse, so he smiled and asked Zhan Doudou: "I know Mr. Li, but I haven't asked this lady's name yet?"

Zhu Wenlong had such good eyesight that he didn't know whether the girl in front of him was a virgin or not. As someone who frequented the entertainment industry, he could tell from her eyes and eyebrows at a glance. As for the nonsense that the man surnamed Li had said before, Zhu Wenlong didn't take it to heart.

Zhan Doudou's heart moved, and she also became interested in seeing what the sons and daughters of the officials in the court were like. Born in the royal family, she was not afraid of the stage, so she nodded and said, "My surname is Wu, and I am from Shangjing. Today I followed Master Zhu to see him. I apologize for disturbing you."

She didn't say her last name was Zhan. After all, there was only one family in Shangjing City with that last name - that was the royal family.

The word "Wu" can be split into "Zhi Ge" (stop the war), which is the opposite of the word "Zhan" (zhan), which means "take the lead".

Zhu Wenlong said, "Miss Wu, why do you have to be so polite? You and Mr. Li are both talented and knowledgeable people. It is only right for you to attend this meeting. How can it be presumptuous?" After that, he told everyone about what had just happened. The conversation between several people also attracted the attention of people around them. Everyone who heard it praised them, while Zhan Doudou accepted it indifferently.

Li An held the treasure lantern and looked around. After seeing the layout of the upper floor for a long time, he could only come to the conclusion that it was elegant. He was a little disappointed and didn't know if there would be any program later. It seemed that today's lantern date would end in vain. It was obvious that Zhan Doudou's occupational disease had recurred. She came upstairs for a purpose, and it was not as simple as being hungry and wanting to eat.

After asking a waiter to deposit the treasured lantern in the restaurant, Li An went to the window and looked out. He saw the moonlight like water, the crowds of people, and the atmosphere of fireworks.

Zhu Wenlong very attentively introduced all the young men and women of Shangjing College to Zhan Doudou one by one. Zhan Doudou smiled and nodded from time to time, and matched their fathers one by one in her mind.

"You are all well-educated, talented, and handsome. So you are all sons of famous families in the court? You are all descendants of famous families. I am the one who didn't recognize you!"

Everyone hurriedly said modestly, and Zhu Wenlong was even more anxious: "Miss Wu, you are joking. My father has repeatedly taught me to be a humble and friendly person, and not to bully the weak. Wenlong has always acted in accordance with my father's wishes. He is usually humble and low-key!"

Li An was keeping his eyes and ears open, and this sentence did not escape his eyes and ears. He could not help but chuckle. The competitive Mr. Zhu downstairs just now seemed to be really low-key.

Zhan Doudou ignored Zhu Wenlong's slightly smug smile. Instead, she glanced at Li Anlai, who was in a bad mood because his date was interrupted.

Zhu Wenlong was inexplicably annoyed when he saw this scene. He gave a look to the others at the table. Everyone saw this and immediately a man named Ji Hang stood up. His eyes flickered and a plan came to his mind. He tapped the table twice to attract everyone's attention and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival. Since the two masters have not returned from the palace banquet, how about we find something to do and have some fun?"

"I am not very talented, but I have found a riddle here to start your discussion. You may try to guess it!"

"The pig is drinking fine wine and the cat is imitating its steps. I guess it is something in this lobby." After saying that, he deliberately looked towards Li An by the window. He was indeed a man who was attentive to words and expressions.

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room was overjoyed. The reason was simple: wasn't thirsty Li An raising his glass to drink? Ji Hang used this as a topic to mock Zhu Wenlong and save face.

Who made Ang Lee act so aloof and unsociable, retreating to the window to drink by himself and not wanting to talk to anyone?

The answer to this riddle was very simple, and everyone knew it was the word "monkey". They also guessed Ji Hang's intention to humiliate Li An, and they all praised him.

Ji Hang stroked his long sleeves, creating a gust of wind. He smiled proudly and clasped his fists to the people around him, saying, "Thank you for the compliment. Thank you for the compliment!" He was skinny and not very tall, but his clothes were loose. With this action, he looked like a real monkey bowing, which made people laugh.

Zhan Doudou looked at Ji Hang, anger flashed across his eyes, but he remembered the names of several people in his heart.

Ang Lee was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be the one to suffer the consequences of watching a show and eating melons. He should have thought of it earlier. Isn't this the case because his female companion is too beautiful?

"Interesting, I also have a riddle here, I wonder if Master Ji can guess it?"

Li An laughed loudly and walked over with a wine glass.

Ji Hang smiled contemptuously. He didn't take Zhu Wenlong's words about the two people's extraordinary literary talent to heart. If there were any famous people in Shangjing, he couldn't be unfamiliar with them. At the very least, he had heard of their names. But the person in front of him didn't even match their name.

"That's funny, tell me about it!" Ji Hang was very confident.
