Princess Wencheng, Chapter 382
"Let's not argue during the New Year!"
Wei Shuyu brought Cui Shenji back.
"oh oh……"
Choi Shin-ki grinned and then handed over a roasted chestnut: "Do you want some of this big pot? I managed to snatch it from you."
Roasted chestnuts.
Wei Shuyu was about to take it when someone interrupted him.
"No, these aren't yours," the handsome young man coldly stopped him.
Wei Shuyu glanced at it casually.
Another woman disguised as a man.
Come to think of it...
Anyone who's ever been around in Chang'an knows Choi Sin-ki.
"Who said it wasn't mine?"
Choi Shin-ki glared fiercely: "What's in my hands is mine!"
"Can't you be reasonable?" the other person stomped their foot in anger.
"reason?"
Choi Shin-ki laughed heartily: "What Boss Shin-ki says is the truth!"
"You didn't even ask around about the area around Chang'an..."
*Smack*
Uncle Wei smacked him on the head with a backhand.
They're getting more and more unreliable.
After listening for a while, Wei Shuyu got the gist of it.
The two are guessing riddles!
"I wonder what the riddle is..." Wei Shuyu asked.
"Replying to Physician Wei."
The stall owner stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "The title is 'Slicing through Gorilla's Gorilla with a Swift Blade,' what word is it related to a court official's writing?"
What are you guessing?
Wei Shuyu looked at Cui Shenji.
"Your mom is my mom too!"
"..."
I don't know if you're numb or not, but I'm numb first.
"I didn't say anything wrong."
Choi Shin-ki retorted, sticking out his neck, "Wasn't he using terms for court officials? I'm a court official too."
Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.
That makes perfect sense.
but……
Why use your brain when money can solve the problem?
"How much are these chestnuts? We'll buy them." Wei Shuyu asked the stall owner.
"Don't buy it!"
The handsome young man interrupted again, saying, "This is a reward for solving riddles. What did you buy with money?"
"Yes, we can't buy it!"
Choi Shin-ki echoed, "I clearly answered correctly, why should I spend money?"
"..."
The stall owner was embarrassed.
The riddles were just one of the attractions.
My real goal is to make money, okay?
But Choi Shin-ki wouldn't allow it...
The stall owner wisely chose to remain silent.
"Has anyone guessed the riddle correctly?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"Of course...that person is me!" The handsome young man raised his head.
"A swift and decisive action, I suspect he's resourceful and quick-witted!"
Upon hearing this, the person who was deep in thought had a sudden realization.
If one speaks of good judgment.
Du Ruhui absolutely deserves the title.
"wrong."
The stall owner shook his head.
"What's wrong with it?"
The handsome young man immediately bristled: "Ask everyone here, what's wrong with my answer?"
Upon hearing this, many people mocked the stall owner for being dishonest.
"Being resourceful and decisive makes the word 'resourceful' redundant."
The stall owner explained, "Moreover, this question is about the words used by officials in the imperial court."
"This guess already identifies someone important."
"Furthermore, the Duke of Lai has already..."
The stall owner paused, then continued, "How could I dare to make a fuss about him?"
After the stall owner explained, everyone suddenly understood.
That seems to make sense.
If we remove the word "scheming," then all that's left is "decisiveness."
Moreover, the phrase "skillful judgment" was not written by Du Ruhui.
"Have some shame, don't just make wild guesses."
Upon hearing this, Choi Shin-ki immediately mocked the handsome young man, saying, "I am an official of the imperial court, and my answer is correct!"
"What are you so smug about, a mere ninth-rank official?" the handsome young man said angrily.
"What's wrong with a ninth-rank official?"
Choi Shin-ki snorted and replied arrogantly, "If you're so capable, why don't you make an idol yourself and let's see!"
The two started arguing again.
Wei Shuyu stopped the two of them...
"Stop arguing."
"What's the big deal about such a simple riddle!"
Simple?
Try guessing! It's simple.
The handsome young man glared angrily at Wei Shuyu.
Just when everyone thought Wei Shuyu would reveal the answer...
"Qiqi, tell them the answer to the mystery."
Go to hell.
They talk so righteously, but they still can't do it!
Okay.
Qiqi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled: "Actually, most people don't know this riddle."
"Even ordinary scholars might not be able to do it."
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up.
Even scholars couldn't guess it; is it really that difficult?
"A swift and decisive approach, I guess, will solve the problem easily."
With her hands behind her back, Wu Qiqi walked around a few times like a little adult and guessed.
"Congratulations, young lady, you answered correctly."
As he spoke, the stall owner handed the chestnuts to Wu Qiqi.
"etc."
The handsome young man stepped forward again to stop them, saying, "What do you mean by 'easily solved'? I've never heard of that."
"And which court official is this related to?"
Everyone looked on with puzzled expressions.
"Well..."
Wu Qiqi kept everyone in suspense: "Actually, the ministers in the court do not refer to any particular minister, but rather to a historical record that was jointly revised by all the ministers... the Book of Jin."
The Book of Jin, Biography of Du Yu, states: "Now that our military might has been established, it is like splitting bamboo; after a few sections, everything will be easily resolved."
"If I had to name a minister, this book was compiled under the leadership of Duke Liang (Fang Xuanling)!"
Upon hearing Wu Qiqi's explanation, everyone was both surprised and secretly cursed the stall owner for his lack of sportsmanship.
If you suggest typing "a phrase from the Book of Jin", then it will be easier for us to guess, right?
What the hell... if you type "the term 'officials in the court'", who can guess it?
"Everyone, we're just here to have some fun..."
The stall owner said with a forced smile, "What's the point if everything is easy to guess?"
You're the stall owner, so whatever you say is right.
Since it was free, no one felt it would be right to complain.
After solving a few more riddles, Wei Shuyu left again.
But then, the woman caught up with them...
"Hey, why are you still following us?" Choi Shin-ki asked, turning his head.
"Who said I followed you?"
The handsome young man seemed a little guilty, but still stubbornly replied, "This road isn't yours, can't I walk on it?"
"Stop following me, or I'll beat you up." Choi Shin-ki clenched his fist.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
"Stop fighting all the time, she's a girl."
girl?
Choi Shin-ki immediately showed a look of shock.
My thoughts immediately drifted far away.
It's been a long time since I've seen Princess Qinghe.
"How...how did you know?" the handsome young man asked, pointing at Wei Shuyu.
"I was just guessing."
Wei Shuyu said casually.
"..."
"Oh, it's your younger sister."
Wu Qiqi stepped forward and handed over a piece of white sugar: "Here you go, it's very sweet."
"this……"
The handsome young man hesitated.
"My name is Wu Qiqi, what's your name?"
Wu Qiqi forced the candy into the other person's hand.
“I…I am Li Xueyan.”
The handsome young man hesitated for a moment before replying.
Li Xueyan?
Wei Shuyu, who was leading the way, paused and turned around to ask, "Are you a member of the royal family?"
"no."
Li Xueyan shook her head.
oh.
That's alright.
Wei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
After the incident involving Princess Hailing, Wei Shuyu developed an inexplicable aversion to women in the royal family.
“I am a member of the royal family.”
Wei Shuyu stumbled and almost fell.
Is this any different from royalty?
"Wow……"
Wu Qiqi asked in shock, "Are you the county princess?"
Before the Tang Dynasty, only the daughters of the crown prince could be called princesses of the county, while the daughters of princes could only be called princesses of the county.
"Mm." Li Xueyan nodded.
Choi Shin-ki shrank his neck.
Offending men is nothing for the powerful Godbase.
If you offend a woman, she...she'll complain!
"Then which prince's daughter are you?" Wu Qiqi asked again.
"My father is the Prince of Rencheng!"
Prince Rencheng, Li Daozong?
Wei Shuyu, who was walking in front, paused again and looked back at Li Xueyan.
Could this girl be Princess Wencheng?
