"Do you understand, my husband?"
Jun Zechen frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He clearly understood the rule, but could he really guess it?
Su Jingyao smiled even more happily when she saw that he was in trouble.
Jun Zechen doesn't often get into trouble.
"Don't worry, my husband. The characters I'm going to use are all common things in the palace. They won't be difficult."
Jun Zechen chuckled.
"Well, this is the first time I play such a guessing game, let's give it a try."
Su Jingyao immediately raised her eyes, looked around, and started asking a question.
"My riddle is 'water', please guess it, my husband."
The rule of this game is that the person who asks the question has an answer in mind. For example, in the case of Su Jingyao, the answer in her mind is "jade", but she says "water". These two words are taken from the poem "jade contains stone and the mountain shines, water contains pearls and the river is charming."
If the person guesses the answer, "玉", then he has to say a word from another poem that is related to "玉".
Jun Zechen's expression was full of thought.
His eyes slowly scanned the hall, because the answer was inside the hall, which indeed reduced the complexity of the game to a certain extent. Otherwise, if he let his thoughts run wild, then this game would be extremely difficult.
Unless you really have a tacit understanding, it will be difficult to proceed.
His eyes fell on the vase filled with water. There were many kinds of vases in the hall, including porcelain, jade, and colored glaze.
Maybe jade?
Jun Zechen speculated secretly in his heart, but he was not sure.
After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said the answer: "Pearl."
Jade is in the mountains and the plants and trees are moist; pearls are born in the deep and the cliffs are not dry.
He used the word "pearl" to associate with "jade". If her answer was "jade", then he won.
But the reason why Jun Zechen said this game is difficult is that both parties need to have enough tacit understanding and sufficient knowledge and culture.
If the person who asked the question did not know the poem he was referring to, he might guess correctly but get a negative answer from the person who asked the question.
But it is also possible that the two people may get a positive answer even though what they said are clearly inconsistent.
Su Jingyao widened her eyes, her look revealing surprise.
She looked at Jun Zechen in disbelief. Could it be that he not only guessed it, but was also able to guess the poem she was thinking of?
After all, her poem also contains the word "pearl".
However, the rule of the game is that even if you guess correctly, you cannot tell the answer. Instead, you must understand each other and share the answer. If you think the answer is correct, you can drink a glass together.
At this time, Su Jingyao raised her jade hand and picked up the wine cup that had been prepared long ago.
Jun Zechen smiled knowingly when he saw her pick up the wine glass.
The two men looked at each other and smiled, their smiles full of warmth and tacit understanding. Then, they raised their glasses together and drank the strong liquor in one gulp.
The wine brought a burning sensation into their throats, but it seemed to bring their hearts closer.
After playing it once, Jun Zechen felt it was novel and realized the unique fun of this game.
Whether you guess correctly or not is actually not that important. What really makes people feel interesting is the wonderful feeling of trying to figure out each other's thoughts while playing the game.
"How about I ask a question, Jiaojiao, and let me guess it?"
"Okay." Su Jingyao responded happily.
Her eyes were sparkling and she was eager to try.
"cup."
Jun Zechen uttered a word.
Su Jingyao frowned slightly.
"Husband, this is too simple." There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
They had just raised their glasses to drink, and there were many poems and verses related to wine, so she naturally easily thought of the answer.
It was the first time that Jun Zechen was teased for asking a simple question. He saw Su Jingyao's eyes fall on the wine cup, and he knew in his heart that she must have guessed it right.
His answer was indeed wine.
Never mind, change another one.
This woman is really smart.
"Jiaojiao, the question I'm asking now is not simple. The riddle is 'pen'."
Jun Zechen's eyes turned slightly, and he happened to see the jade pendants hanging on the clothes hanger, and an idea came to his mind.
The answer to his riddle is the word "佩".
"One throw of the scholar's pen, three wears of the envoy's talisman." This is not easy to guess.
Jun Zechen raised the corner of his mouth in an arc that seemed like a smile, and stared at her, watching her lower her eyes in thought.
Su Jingyao thought quickly about various poems in her mind. Although there were many poems with the word "pen", many of them could be ruled out because they had to be linked to things in the palace.
The pearls in “the pen with pearls that can’t be sold anywhere”?
Or is it the flower that "The spring breeze floats under the pen, and the light of flowers and mountain shadows reflect the clear stream."?
Su Jingyao's gaze swept across the hall and finally landed on the orchid flowers placed not far away.
Before, Jun Zechen felt that the scent of the orchid was most similar to her body, so the Qianqing Palace often displayed orchids.
She thought for a long time, and finally said, "Xiang."
As the saying goes, "The secluded flowers are so shy of spring, and who is wearing such a beautiful piece of jewelry that is full of fragrance?" If the answer to the riddle is really the word "flower", then you win.
Jun Zechen, who was originally enjoying the show, saw her suddenly understand and firmly say the word "fragrance". At this moment, as the person who was judging the question, he was a little troubled.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and then hesitantly raised his glass.
Su Jingyao's face brightened instantly.
She also raised her glass, and leaned forward to gently touch Jun Zechen's glass, making a crisp sound.
You really guessed it right!
"The orchid is so beautiful, it is worn as a pendant in the world. I want to sew it into a pendant." It's not that the word "peg" was not included in the sentence. The two of them are so in tune with each other that they can guess what he meant by such an obscure expression.
Jun Zechen thought to himself.
