The ripples were like pebbles thrown into a lake; within a few breaths, the lake returned to calm.

The flower riddle guessing game continued in the Hundred Flowers Garden with great enthusiasm.

However, the atmosphere this time was noticeably less relaxed than before, and the young men and women were already tense.

His ears perked up, and his pupils contracted slightly.

They all looked like they wanted to be the first to answer.

Ouyang Shanchang smiled and glanced at the people in the garden, stroking his goatee: "The second riddle is: 'The fairy of the waves, with dusty socks, walks lightly on the water, like the moon.'"

The sound landed.

Their minds were already racing.

But as soon as they turned around, they heard the girl's clear and cold voice coming from the east side of the Hundred Flowers Garden.

"It's a daffodil!"

Ouyang Shanchang smiled and glanced at Su Hua, who was eating a crab leg, and nodded. "Congratulations, young lady, the answer is correct."

Before the young men and women could even think of anything, their mouths were already agape, ready to answer at any moment. Upon hearing the congratulations, their mouths opened even wider.

"Miss Su is such a talented woman."

"That's right! The moment Ouyang Shanzhang finished speaking, she had already figured out the answer. I'd say she's not just a talented woman, but an exceptionally intelligent one."

"People like that definitely wouldn't cheat, so there's no need for them at all!"

"That's why they say comparisons are odious. They have just as much to eat and drink as they do, and they even guessed the answer to the riddle quickly and accurately. But me, I'm practically drooling, and I still can't figure out why the answer to these two lines of poetry is daffodil."

"You're not alone. If you had known this would happen, you should have started learning from Fatty Wang and Lu Lao Er."

"You know perfectly well that these two have been inseparable since childhood, and they're always cunning and greedy. They probably already knew how formidable Miss Su was, so they simply didn't bother coming here to waste their time."

"What's the use of saying all this now! We'd better hurry up and think about how to win the riddle contest. I don't want to lose face throughout the entire Qingshui County..."

Lu Lao Er and Wang Pangzi, who were mentioned, paused their actions simultaneously, but then continued eating crabs as if nothing had happened.

They really didn't know that Su Hua could solve flower riddles.

All they knew was that Su Hua's homemade spicy hot pot was irresistible.

Looking at the calm and collected person beside them, Qin Yucheng and his sister secretly swallowed. The orchid earlier was said to be a coincidence, but this daffodil... could it also be a coincidence?

The daffodils in their garden haven't bloomed yet.

Not only was it not open, but it was also placed in a corner on the west side of the garden, so you can't see it at all from where you are.

While eating seafood, Su Dahu carefully wrote down the poem and the answer to the riddle.

Although he couldn't write many of the words in these poems, he had a good memory.

His memory seems to have improved, especially this month.

He could remember most of the characters the teacher taught in class after seeing them once, and after copying them again, he could remember them perfectly.

He could memorize the poems written by Ouyang Shanchang after reading them silently two or three times.

When we learn these words in the future, we can recite the poems from memory. If we encounter this situation again, Hua'er won't need to rush forward alone.

Liu Yuxian's bright face darkened, and she finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Jianjia, didn't you say that the Su siblings were just ordinary peddlers? Why are they so adept at solving flower riddles? It's not like something an ordinary peddler could do."

She originally thought that with her and Wei Jianjia, they would definitely win first place in these three competitions. Then, the headdress of Consort Shu would belong to her, which would be equivalent to making a good impression on her future mother-in-law in advance.

As for Zaozhuang, it fell to Wei Jianjia.

Zaozhuang was a gift from her father when she came of age. He gave her three villages in total, and Zaozhuang was the most remote and the smallest. In recent years, the harvest in Zaozhuang has become increasingly poor.

If it could be given to Wei Jianjia under the guise of a competition at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, that would be a wonderful thing.

But now, the two of them haven't scored a single point, while the Su siblings have already scored two points in a row.

This is not the trend she wants to see.

Even if the two of them don't get first place, Zaozhuang absolutely cannot be given to Su Hua!

Otherwise, she'd probably be vomiting to death for the rest of her life!

"No rush, let's wait and see." Wei Jianjia's face was calm, only her tightly clenched hands under her bright red sleeves betrayed her emotions.

At the very end of the seafood table, a man's jade-like fingers held a tiger prawn, turning it deftly with a flick of his wrist.

Separate the shrimp shells from the shrimp meat.

The man's ordinary face was reflected in the oil-soaked shrimp shell, and a smile slowly crept up the corner of his ordinary mouth.

I don't know if they're laughing at the shrimp or at the creature beside it.

With a smile, Ouyang Shan added another stroke to the paper behind the Su siblings, then cleared his throat.

"Listen up, everyone. The next riddle is about flowers: still snowflakes are as pure as snow, and fragrant lotus leaves are as clear as lotus leaves."

"Epiphyllum oxypetalum"

"People say that flowers don't stay red for ten days, but this flower is always in the spring breeze."

"Rose".

"If I were to compile a history of flowers in the future, I would list it as the most fragrant flower in the world."

"Jasmine."

"……………………"

"..."

"……………………"

"…………"

Each time, as soon as Ouyang Shanchang posed the riddle, the girl would immediately provide the ethereal answer.

The young men and women who were initially half-confident in solving the riddles were now mostly dejected.

If it weren't for the fact that Headmaster Ouyang's character has remained consistent over the decades, they would have seriously suspected that Su Hua and he were in cahoots, singing in unison.

The answer came out in the blink of an eye, without even having to think about it.

Is this even a normal person?!

I'm afraid it's not even human.

The siblings, Qin Yucheng and Qin Yucheng, both twitched at the same time as they looked at the relaxed Su Hua.

If they still believe that she guessed correctly by chance, then they're not just crazy, they're idiots.

Su Hua was not greedy.

Once she had scored 25 points and was certain of victory in this round, Su Hua obediently shut up and stopped participating.

After all, she always adhered to the principle of eating the meat herself and leaving the broth for the others.

Of course, Wei Jianjia and Liu Yuxian don't count.

One is a sleeping dragon, the other is a phoenix chick.

As soon as the two of them were about to open their mouths, she would reveal the answer first.

After three such attempts, Liu Yuxian's face darkened, her fox-like eyes glaring at Su Hua as if she could devour her whole. "Su Hua, are you doing this on purpose? Why are you deliberately going against me?!"
