Cheng Shaoshang probably also thought of Wang Yue's identity. If he found something wrong with her in the future, he would definitely be able to break off the marriage easily. Instead of being taken home by his father like Ge Shi, she might as well reveal her true nature. Let Wang Yue see, if he refuses this, there will be no reason to break up the marriage in the future.

In Cheng Shaoshang's view, it is better not to get it in the first place than to lose it again, and there is no need to be sad.

Wang Yue didn't know that such a young girl had such deep concerns. At this moment, he enthusiastically brought Cheng Shaoshang to the lantern riddles and said with great satisfaction, "If you like that lantern, just say , I will definitely help you get it."

Cheng Shaoshang was very happy when she heard what Wang Yue said. She decided to choose a good-looking one. However, she was not good at reading and didn't know that the question of good-looking lanterns was not too difficult, so she was a little confused for a while.

At this time, a little girl listened to Wang Yue's words and said sarcastically, "I know how to brag. Who doesn't know that among the four great princes in the capital, Yuan Shen is the first in terms of talent and learning, Lou Ben is the first in terms of being handsome and unrestrained. The good-looking one is General Ling, but the one who is greedy for money is you, General Wang!"

Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. He looked at the girl who was speaking and knew that she was General He's daughter, He Zhaojun. He had also fought with He Zhaojun's father and brother.

Therefore, He Zhaojun knew Wang Yue, and of course he knew Wang Yue's character, so he was not afraid of Wang Yue like others. Now hearing that Wang Yue was so attentive in front of other little girls, she subconsciously said came out.

Of course Wang Yue couldn't argue with this little girl. He said to Lou Yao who was next to He Zhaojun, "Ah Yao, when did the four young masters line up in the capital? Why didn't I know? Also, your fiancée is so venomous, so are you? Don’t care?”

Lou Yao is the nephew of Taifu Lou, and Lou Ben, one of the four sons, is the brother of Lou Yao's mother. In order to balance the aristocratic family and the poor family, the emperor deliberately limited the number of people from the aristocratic family who could serve as officials.

And Taifu Lou was a selfish person. He always wanted to take advantage of his own family, so of course he refused to recommend Lou Ben to serve as an official. Therefore, Lou Ben, who was very talented and learned, could not be reused for a long time. It was like a pearl in the dust. .

This means that as long as Taifu Lou is around, the second wife of the Lou family will not be able to get ahead. The wealthy families in Beijing are all aware of this, but no one cares about it. After all, it is rare for a foolish person in the Lou family to be willing to commit suicide. , the good positions left behind will naturally be filled by talented people from other families. They all wish that the Lou family would fight harder and strive for other aristocratic families to do the same.

Wang Yue and Lou Ben knew each other, and they met during an expedition. After the two talked in detail, they found out that he was a talent. He originally intended to recruit him, but after asking, he found out that he was from the Lou family. I could only feel very sorry, and discussed with Lou Ben that when there was an opportunity, I would definitely take Lou Ben with him to make meritorious deeds, so that Taifu Lou could no longer stop him from becoming an official.

Of course Lou Ben was very happy about this. During these years of traveling abroad, he had always been in contact with Wang Yue. The two of them were also very good pen pals. They exchanged as many bamboo slips as a car.

...

Of course Lou Yao knew about the relationship between his brother and Wang Yue. He also regarded Wang Yue as his eldest brother. Seeing Wang Yue being scolded by his fiancée, he bowed to Wang Yue with some shame and said respectfully. , "The ranking of these four young masters was spread out by good news when someone occasionally discussed it. The Wang family brother has been away from home, so it is not surprising that he has not heard about it."

Wang Yue did not expect that Lou Yao would be such a gentleman and would not say anything against his fiancée. He did not want to be that evil person. After all, He Zhaojun's unruly temper was the only one A Yao could bear, so he changed the topic and asked casually. He said, "Where is your brother Lou Ben? When will he return to Beijing?"

When Lou Yao heard Wang Yue's question, he was very happy and said, "My brother traveled around and sent back travel notes from time to time. He once said that he would rush back before the Lantern Festival, but he didn't know what he encountered, so he was delayed. Already."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard that Wang Yue and Lou Yao were chatting so enthusiastically, she was very curious about the people Wang Yue knew. She asked with some doubts, "Is Lou Ben famous? Why is he one of the four young masters?"

Seeing Cheng Shaoshang's curiosity, Wang Yue wanted to explain, but Lou Yao's little eyes also looked at him with piercing eyes. It was obvious that he knew Wang Yue's evaluation of his brother. He thought of Taifu Lou's obstruction and was very sorry. He explained, "If Lou Ben becomes an official, he will be a capable minister."

When Lou Yao heard Wang Yue's evaluation of his brother, he happily said, "My brother will be proud if he hears General Wang's evaluation like this. He once told me that the world has misunderstood General Wang... .”

Before Lou Yao finished speaking, seeing that everyone was only talking and neglecting him, He Zhaojun was very unhappy and said, "How long do you want to flatter you? If you have the ability, just guess the lantern riddles. Ah Yao, why don't you try it yourself?" Try, what's the use of always talking about your brother?"

Wang Yue also figured it out. Lou Yao couldn't control his fiancee. He thought that the Lou family owed the He family a favor, which was owed by the Lou family as a whole. However, the second wife was engaged, and the second wife was left to deal with the He family alone. Zhaojun was so unruly that he felt that General He had spoiled his daughter, so he glanced at He Zhaojun coldly and said to Lou Yao displeased, "Do you want me to edit a letter and give it to General He?"

Lou Yao saw that Wang Yue was serious about what he said. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, it really didn't look like he was embarrassing his uncle because of this matter. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, it's because I'm not good enough. I've always been bad." If you can't do anything with literature or martial arts, you will let Zhaojun down."

When Wang Yue saw what Lou Yao said, he didn't say anything. Lou Yao was the opposite of his brother. He was actually very good at dancing with guns and sticks. When he was a child, he learned a lot from General He. But after General He went to war, the Lou family were all As a scholar, Taifu Lou refused to hire anyone, so there was no one to teach Lou Yao martial arts. He could only practice blindly based on his childhood memories, and there was no chance to practice, so his martial arts never made much progress.

Since Lou Yao didn't care, Wang Yue stopped talking. After all, He Zhaojun and Lou Yao were childhood sweethearts. Maybe this was the way they got along? So Wang Yue didn't talk to Lou Yao and turned around and said to Cheng Shaoshang. , “Which lantern do you want?”

When Cheng Shaoshang heard what Wang Yue said, he quickly pointed at a lantern and said happily, "They are all very beautiful. Since you know how to do it, let's start from the first one on the left?"

Wang Yue felt so at ease that he quickly signaled to the shopkeeper that he was ready to guess the riddle.

The shopkeeper glanced at Wang Yue and said immediately without hesitation, "The one on the left, if you look at it horizontally, you are the king, if you look vertically, you are the king. If the population is without him, it will perish. Guess the word."

Of course Wang Yue knew that. He didn't expect Tianjia Restaurant to be so good at doing business. After waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, he casually said, "It's the word Tian."

At the same time, just after Wang Yue finished speaking, someone was also upstairs in the Tianjia Restaurant, and they also said, "Tian!"

The shopkeeper of Tian's Restaurant looked at Wang Yue and the people upstairs with some embarrassment. He recognized Wang Yue and of course knew the people upstairs. He didn't want to offend these two people, so he said with some tangle, "We at Tian's Restaurant today

What a blessing it is that we have two young masters from the capital come to solve the puzzle together, but they both guessed the puzzle correctly at the same time, which makes the younger one very embarrassed, after all, there is only one lantern."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, everyone immediately became excited. Many little girls couldn't help but glance upstairs. They were very disappointed when they found that they couldn't see Yuan Shen, the leader of the four young masters, and quickly looked at Wang Yue.

Although Mr. Cai's reputation is not that good, who really doesn't love money? What's more, Wang Yue has a reputation for repaying kindness recently, so the word "cai" makes people less laughable.

It was also at this time that He Zhaojun realized that Wang Yue actually had some knowledge. She thought that Lou Yao also knew Wang Yue's identity, so she said to Lou Yao angrily, "Since you know General Wang, how can he learn from you?"

known long time ago?"

Lou Yao was criticized by his fiancée, but he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he said very dissatisfied, "I know, I know, but General Wang already has his heart."

He Zhaojun's face was slightly red, but he was a little angry. How could Lou Yao think of him like this? There are many young girls in the capital who don't admire the four young masters, but who actually got married, and they got married immediately before they reached the age.

!

Not to mention the discord between the unmarried couple, Cheng Shaoshang's face turned even redder now. You must know that many young ladies were looking at her with scrutinizing eyes, which made her very uncomfortable.

You know, she had to develop a thick skin in order to survive, but she was still a little uncomfortable with the scrutinizing eyes of these little girls.

Wang Yue seemed to notice Cheng Shaoshang's unnaturalness, so he took the initiative to use his tall body to block Cheng Shaoshang in front, blocking many jealous eyes.

Cheng Shaoshang raised his little head and glanced at Wang Yue who was calm and composed, and secretly admired him in his heart. He still didn't feel any discomfort under so many burning eyes.

Just when the atmosphere between the two fell into ambiguity, the shopkeeper broke the atmosphere.

It turned out that a waiter came down and said something unknown to the shopkeeper's ear. The shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up. After hearing this, the shopkeeper of Tianjia Restaurant immediately saluted Wang Yue.

Then he quickly said, "Master Yuan said that originally this lantern was dispensable, but now it is the first time that the four princes in Kyoto are fighting. He has no way to retreat, so he also asked General Wang Haihan."

Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. How could he care about such a bad title? He felt that Yuan Shen was really not a generous person, but he forgot that he himself was not very broad-minded.

Although Wang Yue didn't care, he couldn't show his timidity in front of Cheng Shaoshang. It seemed that there would be another storm today. Looking at the shopkeeper who was slowly becoming a little embarrassed under the comment in his eyes, Wang Yue said coldly

,"so what?"

Forced by Wang Yue's momentum, the shopkeeper wiped his cold sweat and said hastily, "Master Yuan wants to compete with you. The following puzzles are in order. He and you will take turns guessing to see who guesses the most correctly in the end.

, whoever wins."

Wang Yue glanced at the restaurant and wondered why Yuan Shen was having trouble with him. Is it really just because Wang Yue was also one of the four young masters?

In fact, how did Wang Yue know that the four young masters were not in Kyoto in the past, and Yuan Shen was very bored with the lively lantern festival. When he suddenly saw Wang Yue coming, he was very happy.

In fact, Yuan Shen's mood can be expressed in another sentence, that is, he is full and too bored.

Wang Yue didn't know this. He felt that no matter what happened today, he couldn't wait and see what happened. He had to respond. He nodded without fear and said, "It doesn't matter. Since Mr. Yuan wants to compete, of course I am willing to accompany you. It's just that I

I think the first lantern belongs to me, how about starting with the second lantern?"

This time, there was no need for the shopkeeper to reply. Yuan Shen from upstairs took the initiative to come out and reply, "Okay! Since I am the one who starts the game, let our Mr. Cai guess first."

Wang Yue wanted to scold his mother, what a wealthy man, shouldn't the story of how he repays his kindness be told now? How come he has to be righteous and unyielding? Is it okay to show justice and spread wealth? Is it possible that they haven't thought of a new title yet?

Wang Yue could only think this way. He took the lantern from the shopkeeper and handed it to Cheng Shaoshang under the envious eyes of everyone. Then he said calmly, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Shopkeeper, we

let's start."

Cheng Shaoshang once again became the focus of everyone. She felt that the lantern in her hand was moving forward, carrying the jealousy of the little girls around her.

After hearing what Wang Yue said, the shopkeeper stopped writing and immediately began to read, "Second from the left, guests come to the east, sing and walk, do not enter through the door, cross my wall, play in the courtyard, go up to the hall, and attack them

Pat, the dead fight, fight to death, the owner is not hurt, guess something."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, this puzzle is really boring, guess this in the winter, he didn't hesitate when the shopkeeper's voice was behind him, and immediately gave the answer

,"mosquito!"

The shopkeeper was very professional, and a waiter diligently took out a writing brush and drew a horizontal line on the side where Wang Yue's name was written on a huge wooden board hanging on the wall.

After the waiter finished all this, the shopkeeper continued to read, "Third from the left, a thousand people loan money, the monthly interest is 30, and the return is nine days, how much profit will be made?"

Yuan Shen didn't expect this kind of question. Thinking that it was a question asked by the restaurant owner, he understood it. He did a little calculation and immediately answered, "Six cents, seven cents and five cents."

The waiter cleverly drew a cross under Yuan Shen's name and waited expectantly for the shopkeeper to continue.

At this time, the shopkeeper was also looking at everyone expectantly, and continued to the next puzzle. He was heard reading loudly, "Twin brothers sit across from each other, they look the same and wear the same clothes. Unfortunately, one of them can speak and the other is mute. Why?"

Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed in his heart. It was indeed boring. He quickly gave the answer, "Look in the mirror."

After repeating this cycle several times, Wang Yue and Yuan Shen guessed all the lanterns hanging upstairs. They still tied in a tie, which attracted constant cheers from the people around them.

At this time, the shopkeeper also began to feel embarrassed. After all, although they had gained a reputation today, they did not allow the two young masters to enjoy themselves, which was really a pity.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Yuan Shen laughed heartily upstairs for a while, and then said loudly, "Since the shopkeeper has no more riddles, how about Mr. Wang and I give each other questions later?"

Wang Yue rolled his eyes at this man. He could tell that unless he asked questions that did not exist in this world, he would not be able to trouble him at all. Yuan Shen was indeed well-deserved.

It’s just that Wang Yue felt that he was losing fans by being so mean, and that he was too weak to win. He rolled his eyes, glanced at Cheng Shaoshang, who was still very interested in eating melon for a long time, and immediately retorted, "You and I set questions for each other, and what's the point?"

I don’t know how long the fight will last. Don’t think of anything else to do today. Why don’t you ask questions and I’ll find someone to answer them. I’ll ask questions and you’ll find someone to answer them. What do you think, Mr. Yuan?”

Yuan Shen was stunned for a moment. He could tell that Wang Yue felt that the two of them were equally matched, and that it would be unsightly if they continued to fight. He would gain a good reputation by giving up while the situation was good. He was not the kind of person who would get entangled, so he immediately followed Wang Yue's lead.

Yue said, "Young Master Wang's suggestion is very much to my liking, so I will propose the question first."

Wang Yue saw that Yuan Shen knew how to advance and retreat, so he bowed his hands and said in a deep voice, "Master Yuan, please!"

Yuan Shen walked back and forth for a few steps, and while hesitating, he saw Principle's well. He called the shopkeeper over and asked for a few words, and then said in a deep voice, "There is a well next to Tianjia Restaurant, with a diameter of two and a half feet."

How deep is the well? How deep is this well from the water surface?"

Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Yuan Shen. He still didn't want to lose. He even asked such a question. Look, I won't kill you in a while. He thought of the secret report from his subordinates. Cheng Shaoshang was good at carpentry and seemed to be very skilled in workmanship. He was the one who could do this.

strengths.

Wang Yue saw that it was rare for Cheng Shaoshang to remain calm even under such great pressure. He thought he could give Cheng Shaoshang a chance to show his face, so he smiled and said, "Shaoshang, you answer this question."

Cheng Shaoshang was actually attracted by Wang Yue's demeanor at this time, and she was almost protected by Wang Yue's arms. She didn't feel scared at all. She was in a nymphomaniac, and she didn't expect that Wang Yue suddenly asked her to answer questions.

.

Cheng Shaoshang just hesitated for a moment and immediately thought about why Wang Yue thought she could do it. Could it be that Wang Yue was spying on her? Although she was a little unhappy, she did not answer the question. Instead, she pretended to be curious and asked,
