Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

"Pigs make fine wine and cats learn to walk. It's really interesting. My riddle happens to correspond to it. It's called: A monkey stretches out its broken arm and a dog bows! Hey, it's also a guess about an object in the hall."

The young men and ladies present were all startled, and some of the ladies who couldn't help but laugh burst out laughing, their bodies trembling and their faces flushed. Ji Hang first scolded someone for drinking, and was immediately mocked and bowed, which was a tit-for-tat.

After hearing this, everyone thought to themselves that this was amazing!

Zhu Wenlong knew that this young master surnamed Li had a quick wit and should not be underestimated!

Only Zhan Doudou looked calm and composed, as if she wasn't worried or surprised by Li Ang at all. The smile on her face was like a flower that was about to bloom.

The scene became a little cold for a moment.

Chapter 171 Lantern Festival .

At this time, Zhu Wenlong stood up. He did not mention what happened just now, but just smiled and said, "Don't start a fight over righteousness just because of joking. Let's have fun guessing riddles and watching lanterns tonight. Let's continue! There are already many riddles prepared for you in the lobby, divided into three levels of difficulty. The most difficult one is the one from one of the real masters. You can imagine how difficult it is. Don't miss it!"

Zhan Doudou asked curiously, "Who are these so-called real owners?"

Seeing that everyone in the hall was excited when they heard that the riddle was posed by the real master, they seemed to be unable to wait and want to try it first. Even Li An became curious.

Zhu Wenlong didn't say anything, but just smiled and said: "Once you guess it, you can know everything!"

Just when Zhan Doudou thought that the other party was a scholar or a person of other noble status, Zhu Wenlong explained the rules again: "In order to make the show go smoothly and make it more lively, whoever can't guess the answer will be fined a glass of wine. The difficulty increases from the bottom to the top. If anyone can guess the riddle left by the real master, the real master will invite the person who guessed it to drink when he returns!"

The crowd cheered loudly and became more and more excited, with eagerness in their eyes, which seemed very abnormal.

It seems that this real owner has some skills!

Before Li Ang and the others could refuse, the show began.

The easiest puzzles came out one after another, and when it came to Zhu Wenlong's puzzle, it was: There are other changes. Type a word.

Zhu Wenlong spread out the note and said with a smile: "It seems that I am lucky. I picked a simple one! This is a plus word!"

Li An nodded slightly. Although the difficulty of the puzzles increases from low to high, this lowest level puzzle is also interesting. It is not the kind of question that can be guessed without thinking. The word "又" has changed. The "口" on the top of it has moved to the side. Isn't it just a "加"?

Everyone applauded in unison, and the sounds of praise and flattery were endless.

Next, it was Ji Hang's turn who had just made a fool of himself. He hurriedly took the note handed over by the waiter and read: "Upper and lower parts as one?" He also typed one word.

This was a difficult question. Ji Hang was frowning for a long time but couldn't answer it. According to the agreement, he had to drink a glass of wine as a penalty.

Zhan Doudou beside him chuckled and said, "How stupid! Isn't this just a word 'card'?" After saying that, his eyes flashed as if asking Li An a question, making Li An sweat profusely and his eyes start to avoid.

When Li An heard what Dou Dou said, his body became stiff.

My goodness, it seems that my actual level is not much better than that monkey. After all, this thing is not about who has more knowledge to be good at it. What matters is quick thinking.

Although Zhan Doudou's mocking voice was small, it was heard by everyone in the room. Those who were not strong enough immediately gave up participating, fearing that they would make a fool of themselves. As for the puzzles set by the real master, let those who are capable compete for them!

Ji Hang blushed. What do these two mean? They keep mocking me. Is it amazing that I can answer them?

Ang Lee gave Zhan Doudou a thumbs up, intending to express admiration, but Zhan Doudou mistakenly thought it was a teasing from the 'master' and immediately blushed.

I thought to myself: Yes, compared to my lover, I am probably one of the "stupid" ones!

So I felt more and more embarrassed.

Soon, it was Zhan Doudou's turn to answer the question. After a little thought, she answered the riddle.

Then, the pressure came to Ang Lee

The phone was ready, but he still planned to try it himself first.

The question was already out, and it was the simplest puzzle, which made Ang Lee breathe a sigh of relief, as he could answer it: No barking of dogs at the entrance. It was also a one-word question.

Li An answered easily: "This is a 'question' word."

After all, his character was not ruined.

After several rounds of the game, they slowly came to the most difficult puzzle. During the process, Li An was able to get through the puzzle without any danger. He had to use his mobile phone to search for the puzzle once. It is said that people in this era are as ingenious as those in ancient China. I don't know who came up with these questions, but they are really interesting. Li An gradually enjoyed them.

"Ms. Wu, the next question is not easy, so you must be careful!"

Zhu Wenlong smiled slightly and spoke softly with concern, showing his graceful demeanor to the fullest.

Zhan Doudou looked at Li An beside him, full of confidence and without hesitation, and immediately asked the waiter to bring out the questions so that she could try.

Looking at Doudou who was eager to make a move and was full of confidence, Li An had a strange smile on his face and felt uneasy. "Big sister, you can solve the puzzle if you want, why are you looking at me?" It was really unsettling!

Zhu Wenlong was still feeling a bit stumped when he looked at Master Li beside him and said jokingly, "Miss Wu, you are very talented and I think this last riddle won't be difficult for you! If you really can't figure it out in the end, don't you still have me here? I can help you solve the riddle together."

Zhan Doudou's face changed after hearing this, and he was completely annoyed. Worried that Li An would think too much, he snorted coldly and looked displeased!

Zhu Wenlong thought to himself that this was not good. He was too proud of himself. His words were somewhat frivolous and teasing. He knew that he had made a big mistake and panicked. He hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, Miss Wu. I didn't mean that!"

Li An also looked unkind. In the end, can you still be with her? What is your relationship with her? It depends on you. This is teasing in front of me. If I swallow this breath, do I think I am a cuckold?

Li An stood up quickly and his posture changed. People who practiced martial arts could tell that he was ready to kill someone on the spot.

As the saying goes, you can't touch a tiger's butt, but this Zhu Wangba not only touched it, but also touched it several times!

Seeing that Li An was about to lose his temper, Zhan Doudou was not used to being so straightforward. Even if he wanted to deal with someone, he would do it behind the scenes, which was unspeakably painful. He immediately pulled Li An and signaled that he didn't need to do so, and that he would take care of it himself.

Li An snorted coldly: "Today is really boring, this small gathering is just like this. There is no need to waste time asking the women to answer questions. Let's release the most difficult question and I will solve it."

Although he was stopped, Li An also listened to Zhan Doudou's words and did not force it. But this last domineering speech still made Zhan Doudou feel sweet, and she immediately followed his words and sat on the stool, waiting for Li An's performance.

Zhu Wenlong was still explaining, hoping to make up for his mistake: "Ms. Wu, please don't misunderstand me! I was just concerned about you."

Li An stepped forward and stood in front of Zhan Doudou, blocking Zhu Wenlong's gaze. His face was expressionless, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Zhu Wenlong was already full of impatience, and he stopped playing the role of a gentleman. His face turned pale and he said in a serious tone, "What exactly do you want to do? Who are you to Miss Wu?"

He had already seen that the two were not husband and wife, and was just planning to take his time to deal with them. How could he allow others to ruin their relationship?

"In my opinion, you are some poor scholar who came to Beijing to participate in the Spring Imperial Examination! I don't know how you deceived Miss Wu with sweet words and thought that everything would be fine. I tell you, you should give up this idea!"

"How can a pheasant be compatible with a phoenix?"

In this era, what matters is whether the couple is well matched.

It's not that there haven't been rich ladies betrothed to poor talents, but most of them elope and end up in misery. In Zhu Wenlong's opinion, the two people in front of him are like this. And he is the one who saves Miss Wu from suffering!

At this moment, he is the embodiment of justice!

But he is not what others think, he is just an LSP who is attracted by beauty!

Chapter 172 Lantern Festival .

"What should I do? Don't you want to guess the riddle with Miss Wu? Let's play the last riddle. Let's play the same way downstairs just now. Let's see who can answer the riddle first. Let me think about whether you are qualified or not."

Zhu Wenlong seemed to be amused by the anger. He looked at the poor man in front of him who was still holding on, and snorted with disdain. However, he caught a glimpse of Miss Wu from the corner of his eye and saw that she was smiling peacefully and did not deny what the man surnamed Li had just said. This was an admission!

Who is Zhu Wenlong? The son of the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, and a student of the Shangjing Academy, he is well-known for his talent, how could he take the person in front of him seriously! But today, he was provoked in front of the woman he favored. How could he endure it and not be furious?

His face was already livid, and the booing from the people around him made him feel even more despised.

"Are you scared by the previous defeat?" Li An said provocatively, sneering repeatedly.

Damn, how dare you sit at the same table with me and compete for women? You must be tired of living. Doudou is such a person that no one can touch him except himself. Even if Jesus comes, it will be useless. I said it!

Zhu Wenlong snorted coldly: "You are a poor and broke person. Your status alone is far inferior to ours. What qualifications do you have to stand up for Miss Wu? Haha, this most difficult question was asked by that person. I gave him advice with good intentions, but I didn't expect to get a barking response. How ridiculous!"

"Haha——" The students from the Shangjing Academy who came with him laughed out loud at this moment. Some unmarried ladies were still restrained, but they also felt that this unknown little man was overestimating the son of the Minister. Looking at Li An's handsome appearance, they all shook their heads. He looked okay, but unfortunately he was stupid!

"After saying so much, you must be scared after all. In that case, Miss Zhan Wu, why don't we go to the next restaurant to satisfy our hunger?" After saying that, Li An planned to leave with Zhan Doudou. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, so it is not appropriate to kill any living beings. There is still a long way to go!

"How dare you!" Ji Hang's face changed, and he jumped up in anger, saying, "You ungrateful thing! This most difficult question was set by Princess Qing, the daughter of King Jing. How can anyone guess it if they want to?"

Ji Hang got so anxious that he revealed the identity of the person behind the scene.

Zhan Doudou was thoughtful. It turned out to be her.

This Jing Wang Zhan Bo is a relative of the royal family. Strictly speaking, he is the distant cousin of the late emperor Zhan Qingfeng. He was conferred the title Jing Wang in the second year after the founding of Northern Qi. The word Jing in this title is actually a miscellaneous title, far less noble than the prefixes of titles such as "Qin", "Jin", "Yan", etc., but it is still a prince's status after all.

His daughter, Zhan Xuqing, was also deeply loved by the Empress Dowager in the palace and often came to the palace to accompany her.

When this unknown princess was mentioned, Li An was startled and looked at Zhan Doudou, waiting for the next words. However, Zhan Doudou nodded indifferently, and Li An knew what was going on.

Everyone sneered. As expected, the poor scholar was at a loss when he heard the identity. He was even more proud. It made sense. What was the identity of this person? He might not even have heard of the name of Princess Qing!

Only Zhu Wenlong was confused and hesitant.

The reason was simple. Although the man surnamed Li was dressed in a blue cloth robe, he looked like he was not of high status, but he had fair skin and was obviously someone who had never suffered much. In addition, he stood straight and remained unmoved after hearing about Princess Qing's identity together with Miss Wu. It was hard not to think too much.

Maybe it wasn't that the identity of this Li was different, but that Miss Wu's identity was extraordinary. Either she was not afraid of Princess Qing's identity, or they were familiar with each other and were not afraid of offending each other. No matter which one it was, Zhu Wenlong's heart was warmed, and his eyes looking at Zhan Doudou became more and more anxious.

"If you keep looking at me like that, you'll forget about getting these two eyes!" Zhan Doudou suddenly spoke up, his tone unfriendly and with a hint of masculine rudeness, and it seemed that he was really angry.

Zhu Wenlong subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the gaze, but after a moment he felt something was wrong, so he turned to Li An and said hesitantly, as if to change the subject: "Since you are so courageous and want to compete, I will follow your wishes. To prevent malicious slander and accusations that I cheated and bullied you, here are three riddles, you can choose one yourself!"

Ang Lee pointed casually without any concern, and immediately a waiter brought the note and prepared to read it out in public.

Zhu Wenlong looked at Zhan Doudou with reluctance, gritted his teeth and said, "The one who gets it right first wins, and the loser should be more self-aware! Of course, these questions have always been in the hands of the waiter, so you don't have to worry about me cheating and reading the questions first!"

This was actually explained to Zhan Doudou, but Li An still nodded in agreement.

With my phone in hand, I want to make ten calls!

Seeing Zhu Wenlong's nervous expression, Li An smiled heartily, thinking that it would be very interesting if Fan Xian was present. He said loudly, "That's right, let's get started!"

Zhan Doudou was a little worried at first, and even had a little sweat on his hands, but when he saw Li Ang's hearty smile, he put his mind at ease.

This is Mr. Sijue!

No one expected that things would develop beyond their expectations. This kid actually wanted to challenge Master Zhu with Princess Qing's riddle. Everyone was nervous but also found it very interesting. It was really exciting!

The waiter spread out the paper and read aloud: "In front of the flowers and beside the willows!" It was just one word.

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, Zhu Wenlong lowered his head and began to think, his brows furrowed, and he could not come up with any result.

It seems that he really didn't read the questions in advance.

Li An was certain in his heart, and he had found the answer after searching with his hands. He immediately took out the pen and paper on the table and wrote down the word "节"!

"Mr. Zhu, have you guessed the answer? If not, then I will tell you my answer first!"

Zhu Wenlong's forehead was already slightly sweaty. Maybe normally, he still had a chance to solve it, but now he was eager to show off, and he fell behind. Li An didn't care, because Zhu Wenlong's opponent had always been the cold and ruthless mobile phone search!

Seeing that Zhu Wenlong did not answer and his lackeys were also closing their eyes in deep thought, Li An asked the waiter, "Is the answer a word?"

The waiter had no choice but to answer truthfully: "What a word!"

When Zhu Wenlong heard this, he fell into his chair in despair and didn't say anything for a long time.

I thought it would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect it to end so abruptly. It was really disappointing.

"Take care of yourself!"

Li An shook his head, but unexpectedly Ji Hang jumped out again: "Mr. Zhu has been distracted, this time it doesn't count!"

"Yes, this Li is so despicable!"

"If Master Zhu had not been disturbed before the competition, he would have answered it long ago!"

Ji Hang's words drew a chorus of agreement, which made Zhu Wenlong's eyes brighten again.

Li An smiled and clapped his hands, as if praising the shamelessness of others, and shrugged indifferently: "Okay, there is still a puzzle, so let's continue?"

If I don't knock you down and make you never recover, there's no need for me to take out my cell phone!

Zhu Wenlong regained his spirits and cheered up. Li An asked, "Are you calm now? Don't use this excuse again when you lose!"

Everyone was about to say something else, but when they saw Zhu Wenlong's face turn unhappy, they immediately stopped talking.

"Yes!" Zhu Wenlong was too lazy to pay attention to Li An. He stared intently at the note in the waiter's hand, being frugal with his words.

Well, go ahead.

Chapter 173 Lantern Festival .

Zhu Wenlong didn't expect that this Li guy was so quick-witted. His purpose at this moment had already shifted away from Zhan Doudou. He wanted to prove himself again and prove that his talent and literary reputation were not in vain!

Although his face looked calm, he was actually more panicked in his heart. He said hastily, "Read out the second question quickly!"

The waiter's heart was still with the group of young men. He quickly opened the note and read: "The man in the mirror!"

Zhu Wenlong was stunned when he heard the question.

This... that's all? Can you give me some hints? He was so anxious that he shook his head and muttered something like a spell, or a set of formulas? In the cold weather of the first month of the lunar year, he was sweating profusely. Li An smiled contemptuously, and thought, with this kind of mentality, you still want to fight me?

There is no need to look up the phone for this question, because Ang Lee already has the answer in his mind.
