385 Guess It

Gu Xiaowan has been observing carefully. From the beginning, Gu Ziwen looked at the mystery with confidence. The more he looked, the less confident Gu Ziwen became, and he began to panic. In the end, the hand that held the mystery was still a little trembling. When she saw the second picture, Gu Xiaowan seemed very nervous when she saw Gu Ziwen wipe her forehead with the back of her hand.

It seems that this Gu Ziwen encountered a problem.

The servant next to him kept seeing that Gu Ziwen didn't speak, and asked, "Young Master..." Seeing the sweat on Gu Ziwen's face, he realized that he didn't know how either!

Zhao Sheng stroked his beard and kept a faint smile on his face. If he could easily be guessed by this arrogant son, it would be a waste of time for them to set the stage every year.

These fifty taels of silver mean that this mystery has been out for five years, and they have been to all the big and small towns in the Qing Dynasty. It's just that every year they return without success, and the bonus has changed from 10 taels in the first year to 22 taels, 30 taels, 40 taels, and 50 taels. The prize money is getting higher and higher, and more and more people are guessing, but, as in the first year, no one can guess.

Then look at the girl next to her, with a calm expression on her face.

I saw Gu Xiaowan chuckling, took two steps forward, looked at the mystery, and showed a sly smile, she lived a thousand years longer than this Gu Ziwen, how could she be afraid of this kid. If he really lost to Gu Ziwen, wouldn't that be a shame to his ancestors?

Gu Xiaowan smiled confidently, pointed to the riddle in her hand and said, "The answer to this riddle is... a riddle!"

Ji Xiaolan, a politician and writer of the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, once used a couplet to come up with a riddle, which was in the hands of Gu Xiaowan. However, thinking that this time should be a long time away from the Qing Dynasty, could it be that this mystery has already existed, and Ji Xiaolan just embezzled and fooled Emperor Qianlong? But no matter whether Ji Xiaolan stole it or not, Gu Xiaowan guessed the answer.

Zhao Sheng was surprised, but he didn't dare to underestimate him this time. He stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Why did the girl come up with this solution?"

Seeing his surprised and shocked eyes, everyone guessed, could this little girl guess right?

Gu Xiaowan smiled and showed the mystery in her hand to the outside, and then said: "This mystery must have been seen by many people present, this is a couplet. The first couplet is 'Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not even more. , It's like the wolf cat and dog, it's neither a domestic animal nor a beast', it's not black, it's not white, it's not red and yellow, isn't that just a green character? Look at the other half of the sentence, it's like a wolf cat and dog. , Fox, cat and dog all have a dog, neither a domestic animal nor a beast, there is no dog word, so it is a "guess" word together!"

Gu Xiaowan then explained the second half of the couplet: "'There are also poems, there are also words, and there are also in the Analects of Confucius. It is vague about east, west, north and south. Although it is a sketch, it is also a wonderful essay'.

Everyone chewed it carefully. There are also poems, words, and the Analects of Confucius. Isn’t it just a word, and it’s vague about east, west, north, south, and south. Isn’t it just a lost word, and with the words next to it, isn’t it a riddle of a riddle.

Zhao Sheng saw Gu Xiaowan guessed it, and the explanation was reasonable, showing admiration, giving a thumbs up, and admiring his face: "Girl, you are really smart, yes, the answer to this mystery is guessing."

This mystery is put out every year, but no one has guessed it every year. This time, Zhao Sheng was very excited when he finally saw that someone had guessed it.

"Girl, there is another pair there, please..." Zhao Sheng didn't dare to underestimate, and personally led Gu Xiaowan to the second mystery.

Gu Ziwen couldn't figure it out, so he could only throw the riddle angrily, his face ashen.

Seeing Gu Ziwen's angry face, Gu Xiaowan felt relieved.

After taking over the second mystery, Gu Xiaowan just glanced at it and then gave the answer.

"The answer to this mystery is the word 'watt'!"

Zhao Sheng was overjoyed and asked excitedly, "Girl, why do you say this is a tile?"

Gu Xiaowan looked at the surrounding roofs. Some of the roofs were made of small black tiles. It seems that at this time, someone can already burn tiles, so it is not enough for someone to come up with such a mystery. Surprised.

Qin Yezhi and Xu Chengze also looked at the mystery, but they couldn't guess it at all. Seeing that Gu Xiaowan guessed it all at once, they all showed surprise.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to explain, Gu Xiaowan cleared her throat and said, "These four brothers have a baby, and they are talking about the first step in making tiles, that is, when they first started making tiles, they made a round follower. The shape of a bamboo tube is almost similar." At this time, people were afraid that they didn't know what a cylinder was. In order to avoid extraneous branches, it would be better to explain it in simple and easy-to-understand words. shaped like a cylinder.

"Separate since birth, this second sentence is the second step of making tiles. The embryo in the shape of a bamboo tube is divided into four pieces, and then dried. After drying, the third step is entered." Gu Xiaowan explained: " Building A, B, D, and Ding is on medium fire, put the air-dried tiles into the cave and burn it into tiles. The medium fire in this building means cave." Hearing this explanation, everyone nodded.

"This last sentence is easy to understand." Someone nearby shouted loudly: "Bing Yin Ding Wu went to the rooftop, doesn't it mean that the tile is ready, and it's time to build a house."

"Really! It's so simple, why didn't I think of it!" one of them said regretfully.

"Simple? Dude, if this girl hadn't explained the first three sentences just now, how would you know what the last sentence means." One of them teased.

"But buddy, don't be sad. This mystery has been out for many years. It's been put out every year on the New Year's Day, but no one can guess it. You can't guess it.

It's not something to be ashamed of. "

"Ugh……"

Everyone was in high spirits when they saw that Gu Xiaowan had easily guessed two riddles that had not been guessed for several years.

Zhao Sheng excitedly took the silver from the two trays, and put the one hundred taels of silver into the money bag and put it in Gu Xiaowan's hand in front of everyone's eyes. Mysteries that haven't been solved in years have been solved here. You're so smart!"
