Chapter 577 Lantern Festival III

Cen Xiyan finished writing the answers to the puzzle quickly, and Sang Qingzhi still had about a quarter of the questions left to read. After Cen Xiyan finished answering the questions, he asked the clerk to hand the answers to the steward, then walked back and quietly

stood aside.

"What do Miss Cen Liu think of those puzzles?" Mo Junxuan turned his head and asked Cen Xiyan.

Cen Xiyan looked indifferent and only said two words, "It's okay."

"Uh..." That's it? No more? After hearing Cen Xiyan's two-word reply, Mo Junxuan suddenly didn't know how to answer the call.

After a while, Sang Qingzhi also finished writing the answer and came back.

At this time, it happened to be the time set by the shop owner to announce the results, so Mo Junxuan did not ask Sang Qingzhi how he answered.

When the results were announced, Cen Xiqin did not get many of the answers correct, and Cen Hongmian only got two-thirds of the answers correct. However, among those who participated in the lantern riddle quiz, Cen Hongmian's score was considered very good.

Sang Qingzhi's answer is 80% correct, and currently has the highest guessing rate among the published results.

Cen Xiyan also raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seems that Sang Qingzhi is not only a serious and rigid bookworm, but also has certain life experience and understands the lives of the people. Otherwise, he would not be able to answer those questions about hoes and shovels correctly.

But think about it, Sang Qing is the Minister of Household Affairs after all, so it’s not surprising that he understands these things.

The answers to Cen Xiyan's riddles were announced later. Except for two very unusual things that she couldn't guess, all the other questions were correct!

When Cen Xiyan went up to receive the prize for the little jade pig, everyone present was shocked! Unexpectedly, the person who answered the most puzzles correctly and won the biggest prize was such a young girl!

Mo Junxuan, Sang Qingzhi, Cen Hongmian and others were also stunned. They never expected that Cen Xiyan would give so many obscure answers!

Many of the answers to those riddles had never even been heard before! They didn't expect that she could actually answer them!

When he learned that the answers to some lantern riddles were common supplies and tools in people's lives, Cen Hongmian looked at Cen Xiyan with a complicated look, and felt a little sour in his heart. Liu Mei had been away from home for ten years, and she didn't know what she was doing.

In such a life, a noble girl who was supposed to be pampered and well-off would have known those things that look for people to work in ordinary people's homes if they had not lived in poverty these years...

Cen Xiyan got the little jade pig and gave it directly to Cen Xiqin, "Here you go."

"Thank you, Sixth Sister." Cen Xiqin held the little jade pig, smiling so hard that his eyes turned into crescents, and rubbed it gently, looking like he couldn't put it down.

Cen Xiqin knew Cen Xiyan better than Cen Hongmian, and was the only person in the Cen family who knew some of Cen Xiyan's secrets. Therefore, she did not feel that Cen Xiyan's previous life was poor and pitiful, but she felt more and more that this sixth sister was well-informed.

, unfathomable.

"Miss Cen Liu is really talented, it's amazing!" Mo Junxuan praised with a smile.

Cen Xiyan smiled faintly and said: "Actually, most of the lantern riddles here have nothing to do with talent and learning. As long as you have a flexible mind and understand the lives of the people, you can answer them."

"Oh? So, Miss Six is ​​someone who understands people's lives very well?" Mo Junxuan's words were somewhat meaningful.

"I dare not say that I know him very well, but Xiyan has lived the life of ordinary people for more than ten years." Cen Xiyan said without changing his expression.

"..." The corners of Mo Junxuan's mouth twitched and he was momentarily speechless.

He has not forgotten that the first time he met Cen Xiyan was on Bibo Lake in Qingyuan Town. Everything she ate and used was filled with low-key luxury, which was simply breathtaking!

Mo Junxuan has always felt that in the entire Cen family, Miss Six knows how to enjoy things best! The answers she answered to those riddles today also surprised him.

But what she said now made him feel like he couldn't laugh or cry.

At this time, the crowd was already talking:

"That little girl is amazing! She actually beat Mr. Sang!"

"Whose girl is she from? She is so talented!"

"I heard from the young masters around her that the young lady calls her Miss Cen Liu, and Mr. Sang also calls her cousin. Could it be that she is the young lady from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?"

"The sixth lady of the Cen family? The sixth lady who has been raised outside for ten years? Can she have such literary talent?"

"You don't know this, right? I heard that years ago, Miss Lin San from the Prime Minister's Office held a poetry gathering, and Miss Cen's Sixth Miss was also invited. At the poetry gathering, she really shined, and the literary

Everyone is shocked!"

"Really? There is such a thing? Please tell me, what is the specific situation?"

"..."

Because they saw that this group of people had a good status, the people around them were afraid of the nobles, so they didn't dare to come around and point fingers. However, the discussion was quite loud, and even people without martial arts would hear a lot of words.

Cen Xihan listened to those people talking about Cen Xiyan's literary talent and reputation, and couldn't help but feel jealous! She was obviously a famous and talented girl in Shengjing, but why should she be such a vulgar wild girl like Cen Xiyan?

She lowered her head slightly and lowered her eyes, concealing the unwillingness and jealousy in her eyes and preventing others from discovering her true emotions.

Cen Xifen couldn't help but snorted coldly and whispered, "She deserves to be called a talented woman!"

The voice of these words was very low, but many of the people present were skilled in martial arts and had good ears, so more than one or two people heard it.

Cen Hongyi and Cen Hongmian both felt that this eighth sister was too ignorant. They both glared at Cen Xifen with unabashed warning in their eyes.

Cen Xifen was startled by the cold and stern eyes of her two brothers, and quickly closed her mouth, feeling guilty and aggrieved.

Jin Fang and Cen Xiqin were very happy to hear other people's comments about Cen Xiyan, and they both looked proud.

Although there is a saying that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue", in fact, among high-ranking families, a woman's reputation and talent are a kind of capital.

Cen Xiyan won the first-class lottery, her expression was still calm and calm, and there was no particularly happy expression. However, her sharp eyes couldn't help but look at Sang Qingzhi, looking at the man who pulled her into the water, but she was

What was Mr. Sang's reaction when she won?

Sang Qingzhi's face was still serious and expressionless, with no embarrassment or disappointment. He didn't seem to find it difficult to accept losing to Cen Xiyan.

Seeing him like this, Cen Xiyan's impression of him changed slightly. At least, this man was not a conceited and complacent person who could not tolerate others.

Sang Qingzhi, Cen Hongmian, and Cen Xiqin each also won some small gadgets. The group of others took the winnings and left Dongshi.
