Chapter 162: Meeting Two4,000 words

There were more than 30 people who broke into the first six level. After the difficulty of the riddle increased, these people were either stuck at level seven or defeated at level eight. Qin He was the only one who could successfully break to level ninth.

The people who failed to pass the level did not leave, and more and more people watched the fun. Everyone's eyes were on Qin He, and they encouraged him at the same time, each of them was even more excited than passing the level by themselves.

How can you not be excited? As long as Qin He successfully passes the barrier, he can win the reward of the Night Pearl in the Silver Tower. With the Night Pearl in his hand, even if his ancestors were poor peasants for 18 generations, they could turn into landlords and they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.

Although these people did not know Qin He, and Qin He won the Ye Mingzhu without their share, they could witness Qin He's talent and Yinlou's wealth, so that they could have more capital to brag about with relatives and friends after dinner.

Qin He focused on the riddle and ignored the words of the people around him.

The reason why the ninth level riddle is difficult is that there is no reminder on it. Whether the answer to the riddle is a word or something else depends on him to figure it out. There is only half a stick of incense, and there are only three chances to tell the answer to the riddle. More than three times or more than half a stick of incense means failure to pass the level, which forces him to be cautious.

Seeing that half of the incense was burning, Qin He still couldn't guess the answer to the riddle, and the people who watched the fun also raised it.

"No, no, no, the time is coming, and the third brother of the Night Pearl can't get it." Qin Shan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wishing he could know astronomy and geography at this moment, and help his brother guess the answer.

"It's okay if you can't get it. Anyway, my third brother won the bronze hairpin, silver hairpin, silver bracelet, gold bracelet, and this trip is not a loss." Lin Qiuniang was very open-minded. Even though she felt sorry for not getting Ye Mingzhu, she didn't care too much.

"Dad, Uncle San is already very powerful. They can't compare with Uncle San!" Qin Xiaoxiao pointed at a few people who had not reached the ninth level and was proud of his third uncle.

Jing Heng, who was beside him, turned dark and remembered the little girl in his heart: He was also one of the people who had not reached the ninth level!

"Oh, your third uncle is really amazing. If you can't get Ye Mingzhu, you can only blame Yinlou for not doing personnel and having such a difficult riddle!" Qin He wanted to ask his daughter if she could guess the answer to the riddle, but he remembered the old father's repeated instructions, but he didn't dare to ask, and complained to Yinlou.

"Well, Yinlou is not doing personnel affairs!" Qin Xiaoxiao agreed with his father's words. He looked at Uncle San, who had never put down his eyebrows, and hoped that Yinlou could do something human affairs so that Uncle San could guess the answer to the riddle.

Among the hundreds of people present, there were not one or two people like the father and daughter who thought about it. I don’t know who said loudly: “There are two or three hundred people who participated in guessing riddles, and only about thirty people who passed the sixth level. Only Mr. Qin was at the ninth level. The riddles set up by the silver building are really difficult!”

A word caused a thousand waves, and someone quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, maybe Yinlou doesn't want to use Night Pearl as a reward, and deliberately makes a difficult problem to stump everyone. In this way, Night Pearl will be saved and its fame will be exaggerated!"

"No, this silver building is not small in our capital. Can you do such a thing and smash your own signature?"

"What's wrong with merchants value profit? If Yinlou really wants to give up Ye Mingzhu, wouldn't it be enough to give it to Mr. Qin directly? Anyway, no one in the scene is better than Mr. Qin!"

After hearing this, most people were gradually convinced that Ye Mingzhu was a gimmick and that Yinlou could not be used as a reward. Otherwise, why not set the riddle so hard that it would stump Master Qin who had passed eight levels in a row?

The discussion was very loud, and it soon came to the ears of the Yinlou shopkeeper. The Yinlou shopkeeper secretly said that it was not good, knowing that these people were instructed to do this on purpose, in order to defeat the good reputation that their Yinlou had finally accumulated.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper of Yinlou could not sit still and stood up and whispered: "The capital is full of talents, but there is only one night pearl in Baoyue Pavilion. If everyone can guess this riddle, how should this night pearl be divided?"

The shopkeeper's words suppressed the criticism.

Yes, if the riddle is too simple and a large number of people successfully pass the ninth level, would it be that they would smash Ye Mingzhu to pieces each person? Is it still Ye Mingzhu? I am afraid that everyone's saliva can drown Baoyue Pavilion, which is irrelevant!

Seeing that the situation was controlled, the shopkeeper had just breathed a sigh of relief, and someone shouted loudly: "The only one who broke into the ninth level is Mr. Qin. You Baoyue Pavilion doesn't have to make things difficult for anyone to give Ye Mingzhu. What should you do to have such a difficult mystery and make things difficult for others?"

When the crowd who had just been persuaded by the shopkeeper heard this, they started to stir up again and questioned the shopkeeper with these words.

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained: "This riddle was prepared by someone early in the morning. No one knows how many people will break into the ninth level in advance!"

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth and bowed to Qin He who was still thinking hard: "Young Master Qin, the time is coming. You can choose two of the people present to help you guess!"

The shopkeeper's voice was quite loud, and everyone who was close to him heard it. They looked at each other and gradually believed that the huge lantern riddle guessing award Night Mingzhu was real, and instantly swallowed those doubts.

Qin He was focused on the riddle and did not pay attention to the various clever tricks between the shopkeeper and the people around him. He heard that he could ask for help from someone, so he almost thought that the shopkeeper was talking nonsense after drinking too much.

Until he was sure that what the shopkeeper said was true, although he didn't know why the shopkeeper did this, it was beneficial to his victory in the Night Pearl, so he bowed to the shopkeeper to express his gratitude.

Yinlou relaxed the conditions, and the onlookers were also very happy. Especially dozens of people who stopped at the seventh level and eighth level, they took the initiative to stand up and be Qin He's helper and guess the answer to the riddle with him.

Qin He thanked him one by one, politely refused. Just as those people were surprised and puzzled, he asked Jing Heng to guess the answer to the riddle with him.

"Brother Li, can you help Uncle San?" Seeing that Jing Heng was silent, Qin Xiaoxiao thought he didn't want to, so he slipped to the ground and shook Jing Heng's arm to act coquettishly.

"Hmph, I am not as good as your third uncle, so I can't help you!" Jing Heng was still angry that the little girl refused to accept his Ye Mingzhu, and also minded that she just praised Qin He for not praising him, so she didn't want to agree to her plea easily.

"No, Brother Li is amazing. Among the people who have just reached the sixth level, only Brother Li is a child." Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know Jing Heng's awkwardness and tried his best to flatter: "When Brother Li grows up, he will definitely be even better than my third uncle!"

This flattery successfully pleased Jing Heng. He knew that it would be good if the little girl could say a word to praise her. He was confident that he would become the most powerful person in the little girl's heart in the future.

He pressed the corner of his uncontrollable mouth and rubbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hair with his hands: "Single!"

"Hehe, it's not a flatterer, I'm telling the truth!" Qin Xiaoxiao saw the dimples faintly on Jing Heng's cheeks, and knew that she had coaxed the person and continued to shake Jing Heng's arm and acted coquettishly.

Jing Heng seemed to be unable to stand her entanglement, so he reluctantly agreed and asked Qin He for the riddle.

When he saw that "there are walls on three sides and one side is empty, the young skirt is in it, and he wanted to say something to her, but someone listened to it outside the wall", he had the same idea as the father and daughter of the Qin family: This Baoyue Pavilion does not do personnel!

Seeing that Jing Heng's face was not good-looking, Qin Xiaoxiao asked nervously: "Brother Li, isn't it very difficult?"

Jing Heng naturally would not admit that it was difficult. He rubbed the little girl's mind and started a low discussion with Qin He. He had no idea about the night pearl in Baoyue Pavilion, and just wanted to help Qin He get it to make the little girl happy.

But the two of them discussed for a while and said their respective ideas, but they still couldn't be sure whether the answer to the riddle was correct. Until the last moment, they would not waste these three opportunities.

As the two discussed it longer and longer, the onlookers became more and more curious about what the riddle was. Some even set up a bet, and five or ten people gathered together to bet, betting whether Jing Heng and Qin He could guess the answer to the riddle and get the Night Pearl.

Even the shopkeeper of Yinlou was very nervous, hoping that Jing Heng and Qin He could guess the answer to the riddle so that Baoyue Pavilion would be attacked by those villains again.

"Uncle San and Brother Li can't guess it. It would be great if there was another powerful person!" Qin Xiaoxiao was picked up by Qin Shan again. Seeing that the half incense stick in the incense burned only with a little finger, he wanted to pick out a helper for them.

The breeze was gentle, the green smoke was rising, and the half incense was getting shorter and shorter, and Jing Heng and Qin He's nerves gradually became tense. After discussing, they finally determined the answers to three riddles. Just as they were about to inform the shopkeeper one by one, a scattered voice suddenly inserted in: "Can you let me see this riddle?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's ears were pointed, and her attention was always on Jing Heng and Qin He. She suddenly heard this strange and nice voice. She subconsciously turned her head and saw clearly the man standing beside her father, with her eyes wide open and speechless.

Qin Xiaoxiao, who is almost five years old, has already developed her own aesthetics. This can be seen from the fact that she is not as focused on wearing red and beautiful headbands like before.

She can also distinguish between beauty and ugliness and knows that she and Jing Heng belong to the beautiful category. In her limited memory, she has never seen someone as beautiful as before. She can never forget her after seeing her.

Qin Huai seemed to feel something, frowned slightly, thinking that it was a bold woman peeping like before. When he found out that the person peeping at him was a girl of four or five years old. The girl's eyes were rounder than cat's eyes, and she couldn't help but chuckled softly.

Qin Xiaoxiao was so dizzy that she was like aged wine. If she had read the book, she would have known that the "beauty smiles, the mountains and rivers are lost" in the book is not an exaggeration. There are beauties in this world that coexist with beauty and temperament.

Qin Shan and others were also attracted by Qin Huai's voice, but they had never seen Qin Huai before, so naturally they didn't know that he was Qin Zhichen's father who had a conflict with Qin Xiaoxiao in the morning.

However, Jing Heng knew that the "Jade-faced King of Hell" who was famous in the court, and saw that he asked for the riddle, he threw the riddle into a ball without saying a word.

Qin He stared at Qin Huai with outstanding looks in a daze. He always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Seeing the scene of Jing Heng throwing the riddle, the onlookers asked others about Qin Huai's identity. Unfortunately, even if someone in the family was an official in the court, he had never seen Qin Huai himself. Even if he had doubts about his appearance, he did not dare to express this doubt.

"Brother Li, do you know this beautiful uncle?" Qin Xiaoxiao poked out his upper body and leaned into Jing Heng's ear and asked softly, his big, sharp eyes kept glancing at Qin Huai.

Uncle Beauty? Jing Heng almost choked by his saliva. Seeing the little girl who was unknown, she wanted to pry her little head open and see how many strange things were inside. She actually called this Jade-faced Yan Luo the beauty uncle!

He suppressed his smile and whispered: "You should not call him a beauty uncle, it is impolite."

Qin Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "This is praising the beauty uncle, why are you rude?" She often praised her mother for being good-looking, her grandma for being good-looking, and her second aunt for being good-looking, and they were all happy!

"There is no reason, just remember what I said." I couldn't explain it clearly to the little girl with one or two sentences. Jing Heng was afraid that Qin Huai would hear her. He deliberately raised his face and warned her fiercely.

"If you don't shout, don't shout, I won't shout!" Qin Xiaoxiao knew that Jing Heng would not let her shout, it was for her good. She hurriedly agreed and stopped asking the bottom line.

Qin Huai, who was holding the riddle, did not hear the conversation between the two little guys. After a little thought, he guessed the answer to the riddle that stumped Jing Heng and Qin He. He took the tray raised by the guy and lifted the pen like a dragon and a striking snake, writing a vigorous and powerful word "Yan".

"Yes, it's Yan, it's Yan!" Qin He was enlightened, and he knew where the word "Yan" came from without Qin Huai's explanation: "There are walls on three sides and one side is empty, and it's half a frame; the young skirt is a woman; he was willing to speak, saying, "In addition, there is a person outside the wall, and it's just like the word "Yan"!"

After hearing Qin He's explanation, the onlookers finally knew what the riddle was. Seeing Qin Huai's answer in just a few breaths, he became more and more curious about Qin Huai's identity. Seeing that he looked young, he thought he was a student who went to Beijing to take the exam.

There were many students present, most of them participated in guessing riddles, and only a few of them reached the sixth level. They had experienced Qin He's talent and had already developed the idea of ​​making friends. Seeing Qin Huai's talent and knowledge were even higher than Qin He, they saw everyone's demeanor in every move, and they became more and more willing to make friends and squeezed towards this side.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qin, and congratulations to Mr. Qin!" The shopkeeper came over with a tray with a laugh. Under the hot gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he raised his hand and lifted the red silk covered in the tray, revealing the bright night pearl.

The people around him were instantly attracted by Ye Mingzhu. Seeing that Yinlou really took out Ye Mingzhu, he began to envy Qin He again:

"Hiss--it can still transmit light under the light and moonlight, this night pearl is really top-notch!"

"It's a pity that there is only one night pearl, so I don't know how to distinguish these three people."

"It's a discount, how else can I divide it? It's impossible to really break up one piece of each person."
