He shook his head, quietly wiped the drool off his goatee, and announced loudly: "Today's riddle-guessing game consists of fifty questions in total. Each riddle is worth one point. The first person to answer the riddle correctly will receive one point, and the group with the most points at the end will win."

Listen carefully, everyone. The first riddle about flowers is: "This flower is eternally pure and virtuous, seeking neither fame nor fortune, only the mist and clouds."

The air fell silent for a moment after those words were spoken.

Liu Yuxian tugged at Wei Jianjia's sleeve, "Jianjia, where did the headmaster find this riddle? How can it be so complicated? Think about it quickly, what is the answer?"

Although her father hired many female tutors to teach her, she felt like she was being bitten by ants whenever she sat down on a stool.

He studied for two hours, spent one and a half hours playing, and the remaining half hour... he played and dozed off at the same time.

I didn't really learn much, except for playing the piano, which I did quite well.

Fortunately, Wei Jianjia was a famous talented woman in the capital, and she had no problem with poetry and prose.

Wei Jianjia's beautiful eyes flickered, and she was about to speak.

A clear, cold voice rang out from the east side of the Hundred Flowers Garden.

"It's an orchid."

Headmaster Ouyang looked at the girl with a shrimp in her left hand, a crab in her right, and a piece of saury in her mouth, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's an orchid. Congratulations, young lady!"

After saying that, he picked up a pen and drew a vertical line on the paper that read 'Su siblings'.

When everyone saw that dark, solid line, they couldn't contain themselves any longer.

"Wasn't Su Hua supposed to be a good-for-nothing? How did she learn the Flower Mystery Technique! And she's so fast at it!"

"Yeah, and I haven't even finished reading yet, and she's already given the answer. If she's still a fool, then what am I? What kind of fool? A stupid fool?"

"If an incompetent fool had such abilities, I, Zhou, would no longer be Zhou, but Su. Miss Su is clearly hiding her true strength."

"Damn it! I thought that as long as I beat the Su siblings, I wouldn't be last. But now that Miss Su is so amazing, who will be last?"

"No way, no way, I'm not doing it! Who wants to go around Qingshui County calling themselves a stupid pig! Ugh, if I'd known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to go out for a seafood feast. I don't want to end up losing face instead of winning anything..."

Qin Yingxian looked at Su Hua with shining eyes, "Sister Su, you are so amazing! Not only do you know medicine and cook delicious food, but you can even solve flower riddles so quickly. You are really amazing! You are the most amazing person I have ever met in my life!"

"Hua'er is truly amazing! A well-deserved talented woman!" Qin Yucheng gave her a thumbs up without hesitation, his gentle eyes burning with admiration.

Su Dahu was also surprised.

He knew that Hua'er had learned a lot after being guided by Meng Po, her 'master,' but he did not expect that she would truly be proficient in every aspect.

Su Hua blushed under his gaze, then smiled and pointed to the orchid beside her, "Graceful and chaste, it grows mostly in valleys, and this orchid is the most fitting. Actually, it's just a coincidence."

As the name suggests, the garden has hundreds of varieties of flowers.

It's late April now, and there are dozens of kinds of flowers blooming in competition. Among them, these orchids are particularly eye-catching.

Of course, most of the orchids here are Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium faberi, which are not as beautiful as the Cymbidium goeringii Lou Shang Hong that Xiao Jinhan gave her.

Thinking of Lou Shanhong, she couldn't help but wonder what that man was doing now.

Wei Jianjia's beautiful eyes flickered, then she smiled at Su Hua, "I didn't expect that Miss Su would have memorized the flower riddles in advance when she knew she was going to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the Hundred Flowers Garden to hear clearly.

Those who had previously begun to regret their actions immediately erupted in uproar upon hearing this.

"What?! It was actually memorized beforehand?!"

"I thought this Miss Su was hiding her true abilities, but it turns out she just remembered the flower riddle."

"No, no, this riddle-solving game is cheating! This won't do!"

"That's right, cheating doesn't count..."

Seeing this, Liu Yuxian added fuel to the fire, "A peddler is just a peddler, resorting to such underhanded tricks to cheat at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If word got out, people would laugh their heads off!"

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yingxian instantly forgot about eating the king crab. He slapped his shell and stood up, shouting, "You're talking nonsense! My sister Su is not that kind of person. She doesn't need to cheat at all. You're not allowed to slander me like this..."

"It's alright." Su Hua smiled at her and gently pulled her back to her chair. "Let them say what they want."

They completely disregarded Wei Jianjia and Liu Yuxian's provocations.

Upon seeing this, the latter assumed that Su Hua was feeling guilty, and raised her chin even higher.

Just then, Ouyang Shanzhang raised his hand and picked up the Xuan paper on the table. "These fifty flower riddles were all thought up by me last night. I am the only one in the world who knows these flower riddles. Therefore, the matter of Miss Wei remembering the answers to the riddles is not true."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxian's proud chin nearly fell off.

There was no such thing as memorizing the answer to the riddle, which means that Su Hua actually guessed the answer to the orchid riddle.

How is that possible?!

Didn't Wei Jianjia say that the Su siblings were all completely ignorant good-for-nothings?!

Wei Jianjia, standing to the side, looked at Ouyang Shanzhang with resentment, as if she had just swallowed something unidentified.

She deliberately used the favor he owed the Wei family to get him to host the Hundred Flowers Banquet this time.

The purpose was to ruin the reputation of the Su siblings at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, completely cut off Su Dahu's chance to go to Qingshan Academy, and prevent him from pursuing an official career, so that the Su family would remain small merchants for the rest of their lives.

But this Headmaster Ouyang showed her absolutely no respect.

She suddenly began to wonder if she should never have invited this old man in the first place.
