"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?
Seeing that he was in trouble, Su Jingyao smiled even more happily.
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 my first time playing a guessing game like this, let me give it a try."
Su Jingyao immediately raised her eyes, looked around, and started asking questions.
"My riddle is 'water', please guess it, my dear."
The rules of this game are that the person who asks the riddle has an answer in mind. For example, in the case of Su Jingyao, the answer in her mind is the word "jade," but she says the word "water." These two characters are taken from the poem "Jade holds stone, and the mountain shines; water holds pearls, and the river flows gracefully."
If the person guesses the answer "玉", he must say another word from a poem 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 glass.
Maybe jade?
Jun Zechen speculated secretly in his heart, but he was not sure.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke the answer: "Pearl."
Jade is in the mountains and the plants 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 was difficult was that both parties needed to have sufficient tacit understanding and sufficient knowledge and culture.
If the person who sets the question does not know the poem he is trying to guess, he may guess correctly but get a negative answer from the person who sets the question.
But it is also possible that by accident, the two people may get a positive answer even though what they said is clearly inconsistent.
Su Jingyao widened her eyes, her look showing surprise.
She looked at Jun Zechen in disbelief. Could it be that he not only guessed it, but also guessed 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 the answer 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.
Their eyes met and they smiled at each other, their smiles full of warmth and tacit understanding. Then, they raised their glasses together and drank the strong wine 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 he 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 two people 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 teasing in her tone.
They had just raised their glasses to drink, and there were many poems and verses related to wine, so she naturally thought of the answer easily.
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 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 "Pei".
"Throw away the scholar's pen once, and wear the envoy's talisman three times." This is not easy to guess.
Jun Zechen raised the corner of his mouth into a half-smile, staring at her as she lowered her eyes in thought.
Su Jingyao thought quickly of various poems in her mind. Although there were many poems with the word "pen", many of them could be excluded because they had to be linked to things in the palace.
The pearls in “Pearls from the pen but nowhere to sell”?
Or is it the flower that "the spring breeze floats under the pen, and the 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.
Previously, Jun Zechen felt that the scent of the orchid was most similar to her body, so the Palace of Heavenly Purity often displayed orchids.
She thought for a long time, and finally said, "Xiang."
As the saying goes, "The flowers are so fragrant in spring, who is wearing such a beautiful piece of jewelry that makes his body full of fragrance?" If the answer to the riddle is really "flowers", then you win.
Jun Zechen, who was originally enjoying the show, saw her suddenly enlightened 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 instantly brightened.
She also raised her glass, and even leaned forward to gently touch Jun Zechen's glass, making a crisp sound.
You really guessed it right!
"The orchid flower is so beautiful, people in the world wear it as a pendant. I want to sew it into a pendant." It's not that there is no word "penetrate". The two of them are really in tune with each other. They can guess his implicit expression.
Jun Zechen thought to himself.
