The moment Yuwen Yao appeared, the young women around him were overjoyed, their faces flushed with happiness and their bodies trembling with delight. Not to mention the women, even the men stared at him in a daze.
“Our master is really popular. Look, he hasn’t even made a move yet, but he’s already showing up and his presence is already impressive.”
"Indeed, our master is one in a million."
"No, it's hard to find on the ground."
"right."
"..."
Listening to the wind and listening to the rain muttered softly, every word filled with joy.
"Really? Your master is so popular?"
Nan Lingqin's voice suddenly rang out at the opportune moment. Tingfeng and Tingyu immediately shut their mouths, simultaneously glancing at Nan Lingqin. Their eyelids twitched, and their voices softened, "Madam..."
Is it popular?
The lady asked again leisurely.
"No, I won't accept it..."
Tingfeng and Tingyu immediately shook their heads under Nan Lingqin's seemingly gentle but actually threatening gaze.
Of course, Yuwen Yao had no idea that, in his eyes, among all the people and women, there was no one else but his mother and Nan Lingqin.
The couplets and riddles were solved one by one, but then Yuwen Yao stood in front of the last riddle and didn't move.
Those around who had thought they were doomed to lose suddenly seemed to have their hopes rekindled, and they hurriedly sped up their pace. But in the end, only five or six people persisted until they reached the riddle after completing ten couplets. Now, there was only one man left who wanted to solve the last riddle. Seeing that Yuwen Yao hadn't moved for a long time, he was quite nervous. "Young master, do you not know how?"
Because it's a rotating system, if someone is ahead of you and the other person hasn't conceded defeat, and your time hasn't run out, then the person behind you can't overtake the person in front of you; they can only wait.
Yuwen Yao glanced at the man but remained motionless.
The night was as white as silver, and the surrounding light made his snow-white features appear even more profound.
The man suddenly became somewhat frustrated and stepped forward, saying, "Young master, if you can't do it, please step aside."
"no?"
Damn, Nan Lingqin's hearing is amazing. She was unhappy as soon as she heard those two words. She gritted her teeth and immediately waved and shouted, "Go, husband! Be strong, husband! You're the best, husband! You're the most capable!"
This sudden shout stunned the crowd of onlookers, who all turned to look at Nan Lingqin and then took a half step back, as if to make room for her in the best position to support her.
Nan Lingqin was completely unaware and even tried to jump up, but was stopped by Tingfeng and Tingyu.
Yuwen Yao looked at Nan Lingqin, feeling both amused and helpless. The reason he hadn't solved the last riddle wasn't because he didn't know how, but because he vaguely sensed that the answer to these couplets and riddles might not be as good as he imagined, and he didn't want to cause trouble...
Fine, if Qin'er likes it, then... let's rise up!
"Yes, Prime Minister is working hard."
Yuwen Yao turned and smiled at Nan Lingqin, then picked up his brush and wrote, his elegant and powerful characters landing steadily on the Xuan paper. The man beside him watched, his heart sinking to the bottom.
They were just one step away from success, and then they fell behind.
"Young master is impressive."
The man had the appearance of a scholar. He took a step back, his face clearly not in a good mood. It's never good for anyone to be kicked out at the last minute.
"The rules don't say that once the person in front has finished answering, the next person can't continue. You can guess again."
Yuwen Yao looked at the man, his voice calm and composed.
The man glanced at Yuwen Yao, then turned his head away after a moment, saying, "No need. A loss is a loss. Even half a step is a loss, let alone a single step."
After saying that, the man turned and left with a sullen face.
Nan Lingqin ran over excitedly and gave Yuwen Yao a big hug in front of everyone, saying, "Well done, little guy."
"mock up?"
Yuwen Yao shook his head and smiled wryly. Since becoming pregnant, his Qin'er has been using more and more new words every day.
"Yes, if there were ten mansions, we could sit side by side."
“Why would anyone live in so many? My flower field is quite nice, I’m too lazy to move it. I’ll sell it all and get half of the money, half for Yuwen Danling to get married, and the other half for us to live a carefree life.”
Nan Lingqin spoke with such seriousness, her eyes seemingly gleaming with the light of silver.
Yuwen Yao put his arm around Nan Lingqin and said, "Danling is rich, she can marry him herself. We need to save some for the child."
"No, no, no, the child will earn it himself."
Yuwen Yao......
Unable to understand Qin'er's seemingly divine logic, Suo Xing nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Congratulations, young master, on answering all the questions correctly." At this moment, a round-faced man dressed as a butler walked over and bowed to Yuwen Yao to congratulate him.
"Oh, what's the prize this time?"
Nan Lingqin asked, her eyes shining.
If it weren't ten mansions, but twenty, she would be rich again and could even help Danling replenish the national treasury.
Not to mention Yuwen Yao, even Tingfeng and Tingyu, who came forward, were stunned and lost in thought.
My lady, you are not short of money. You have a master above you, a younger brother below you, the Southern Qi on your left, the Northern Rong on your right, and even the Western Xia tries to get close to you from time to time. You really are not short of money.
But no one dared to say it.
"Please, young master... and madam, come with me."
The butler didn't answer; instead, he gestured forward, indicating that the two should follow him.
...
“I will give you twenty mansions.”
As soon as Nan Lingqin and Yuwen Yao followed the steward into the mansion, a middle-aged man walked in with great speed. His face was so bright and excited that Nan Lingqin almost thought she had encountered a fool.
Twenty seats!
Just ten couplets, ten riddles, and twenty mansions?
