"True." Shen Haoxuan opened his fan, also stuck his head out, and leaned beside Shang Zhiqing. Shang Zhiqing looked at him in disgust, but she did not push him away.

"It would be hard for Qingfeng to keep me here."

Shang Zhiqing was startled, she thought for a moment, then answered: "Flower can meditate and drink."

The voice of the lady on the stone platform sounded out. "This round of guessing will be decided by this little girl." This little girl is untalented, I hope that everyone can give me some pointers. " With that, she let out a charming smile, causing the bodies of everyone present to go soft.

In a split-second, three white scrolls of silk were hung from the center of the stone platform, each with three puzzles written on it.

The first white satin said: "Three or nine years."

The second white satin said, "He knows his place."

The third white satin line read: "North of the Middle Stream is the Horizon."

Ye Qianqiu stood coquettishly on the stage, smiling without a word. "Miss Ye has some knowledge on medicine, so she was only able to come up with three riddles regarding Chinese herbal medicine. If anyone were to answer her, they would have to write down the riddle under the silk cloth."

The entire audience was in an uproar. Everyone was a scholar who was familiar with the Four Books and Five Scriptures, and the young masters of aristocratic families had all six types of skills.

However, there were very few people who studied the art of medicine. After all, it was very boring to learn, so one needed to be familiar with the Hundred Herbs. What's more, a doctor's heart was like that of his parents. If he was not careful and misdiagnosed, it would become a stain on his heart for the rest of his life. Thus, very few people would choose to study medicine.

Therefore, when the topic was revealed, the entire hall was in an uproar. However, no one dared to question Ye Qianqiu. After all, he was just a mere scholar, but Ye Qianqiu was a famous medical saint.

Several rooms on the second floor, a servant standing by the door had long since written down the riddles and presented them to the guests inside.

Su Yanluo held the riddle, frowned, pouted her lips, and then acted like a spoiled child towards Ye Jiaze: "Brother Jia Ze, do you know the answer to the riddle?"

Ye Jiaze did not answer her. Instead, he propped his chin up, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Yanluo sneaked a glance at Ye Jiaze, her heart thumping hard. She had liked brother Jiazhi a long time ago. This time, she had begged him for a long time to be able to come out with her brother.

She originally wanted to show off her skills in front of brother Jiazhi, but she didn't expect that one of the guests would actually show off her skills in front of everyone. Even Master Xu praised her. And that person was so pretty.

A trace of malicious intent flashed past Su Yanluo's eyes.

However, Ye Ningyu could see Su Yanluo's expression. She had never liked the daughter of the Rites Department's Patriarch, who had an empty identity. Besides, how could she be worthy of her big brother? What a joke.

Ye Ningyu suppressed the disdain in her heart, and revealed a gentle smile, pretending to be extremely intimate, she held onto Su Yanluo's hand and said softly: "Little sister Yoluo, this is a pharmacology question, ordinary people would not be able to answer it. However, I feel that the girl just now has some knowledge. I wonder if she can guess the answer to this riddle. "

Sure enough, after Su Yanluo heard her words, she exploded. Her eyes turned red, and her angry voice contained a trace of disdain: "Hmph, with her? To be able to guess the answer to such a riddle, what a joke. "

Su Yixiu looked at Su Yanluo with displeasure. He knew that his little sister wasn't particularly intelligent, but to fall into Ye Ningyu's trap so easily, how was she not intelligent?

His face was cold, but he did not stop her. He hoped that she would be able to clearly see his abilities after this experience. Otherwise, she would always be ignorant of the limits of heaven and earth, and wouldn't be played to death when she entered someone else's door.

Ye Jiaze also lightly glanced at Su Yanluo, and when Su Yanluo saw the look in her eyes, she immediately became excited. Pulling open the curtain, he shouted towards Shang Zhiqing's private room: "merchant girl, I heard that you are so intelligent, I believe you have already answered such a simple question, right?"

This was a blatant provocation. Shang Zhiqing also pulled open the curtain, and looked at the woman who was causing trouble.

The heavens had given her a good appearance, but unfortunately, they had not given her a good brain. Shang Zhiqing secretly sighed in her heart, then said with a loud voice: "I naturally know the answer, and you probably know the answer as well. After all, to you, this question can be considered to be extremely simple."

Damn it, Su Yanluo cursed in her heart. How could she know the answer? This person was obviously doing it on purpose, Su Yanluo thought as his eyes turned red, glistening teardrops appearing in his eyes.

His pitiful appearance caused the hearts of everyone present to ache. One of the scholars stood out and said, "merchant girl, why don't you write out your answer for everyone to see."

Shang Zhiqing curled her lips in disdain. As expected, delicate women were able to please men, and she did not plan to make things difficult for Su Yanluo.

Step by step, she walked down the spiral staircase, walked to the center of the stone platform, picked up a brush, and wrote down the answers she had guessed at on the three scrolls of silk. After writing everything, he smiled at Su Yanluo, causing Su Yanluo to be angered to the point that she did not dare to say it.

Just as Shang Zhiqing was about to turn around and leave, Master Xu Hongru stopped her. Smiling, he asked, "Miss Shang, can you tell me how you came to this conclusion?"

Shang Zhiqing turned her head, raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said: "Master Xu, are my few riddles correct?"

"Exactly."

"As long as it's correct." Shang Zhiqing laughed, her beautiful face was filled with confidence, and everyone was stunned. She said, "The third and ninth seasons probably refer to the third and ninth days after the Winter Solstice. The corresponding herbal medicine should be the 'Heavenly Winter', and the 'Heavenly Winter' should be called the 'Heavenly Door' Heavenly Winter '.
