"Go check it out. Novel" Ling Xiang agreed first.

Immersed in the food market, the owner of the small stall picked a palace lamp, and the big stall set up some square tables and stools, most of which pulled ropes between the trees by the river, and hung a row of red gauze lanterns on them.

The river is murmuring, the market is full of tourists, Sixi Lantern Festival vegetable and meat buns, mille-feuille oil cake, flowered steamed bread, shaved cold powder, radish shredded cake, chicken and duck blood soup, large and small wontons, five-kernel steamed buns, crystal buns, soft and flavorful dried silk; The Huangqiao baked cake with a rich aftertaste, the fragrant green tofu brain, and the beloved "Shise Dim Sum", each cage has ten pieces and five varieties, with both meat and vegetables, sweet and salty......

The surrounding houses of blue bricks, small tiles, and powdered walls are lined up one after another are fragrant and freshly eaten food stalls, and the lights are moving and smiling, and the folk mountains and seas are shouting and shouting, which makes the Qinhuai River full of vitality with the sound of oars in the shadow of the lights.

Ling Xiang wanted to eat tofu brain, Rong Xijue chose a place, and the secret guards quietly squeezed away the diners in front of them, filling the three tables in an instant.

The middle-aged couple immediately greeted them with a smile.

Rong Xijue waved his hand: "One bowl for one person." ”

The businessman who was born at the feet of the Son of Heaven had a different vision, knowing that there was a distinguished guest, he was more attentive, and the big bowl was full of spices, and he beat more than a dozen bowls in a blink of an eye.

The hot and slippery tofu brain, Ling Makeup ate it happily, and couldn't help pouting: "It's really right that I didn't eat in the palace tonight." ”

Ling Makeup rarely showed the cheerfulness of this true temperament, and Rong Xijue couldn't help but be a little strange: "Do you only like folk life?"

She put her hands on her cheeks, stretched her neck, lowered her voice, and replied that he could be beautiful for a long time: "As long as you are with Your Highness, you can like it every day." ”

Under the mask of the bewitching. He really hooked his lips, and actually laughed with rare dimples, thinking that this Jiangnan tofu brain was also delicious.

Wang Bao was clever and took two people to the stall next door to buy Lantern Festival and Shise Dim Sum, and put them on the master's table together, and applauded Ling Makeup again and again.

They don't go to the most lively places like the Temple of Literature. Finish eating. Walk to Copper Kettle Lane.

On both sides of this alley are blue brick houses, and every household is neatly organized, and it is said that it is a place where Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants live.

There are a lot of palace lamps in front of each gate. A circle of people surrounds the riddle, and every person who looks like a person in charge answers correctly, he will be offered a hanging of money or other rewards.

Tourists are also happy, and families are guessing in groups of three or five.

The first one at the mouth of the alley has a lantern riddle hanging in it. Pick up five parchment palace lamps, the first one is square in all directions. Each side is different to draw Yang Concubine out of the bath Xizi Huansha Zhaojun out of the sable cicada to worship the moon, the mystery is also very interesting, on the book "Six flowers fly in the sky, trickling water into the field." Hit a stationery"

The six flowers fly in the sky, and there should be snow on them. What is the second half of the sentence?

Ling Makeup was still racking his brains, Rong Xijue took a pen and paper under the lamp, and Long Feifeng Wu wrote the words "Xue Tao Notes". Reach out and ask for the jackpot.

At the gate, Lan Luo's straight mustache came over and presented a box, and said with a smile: "Childe is so handsome." Give the four treasures of the above room to add color. ”

Ling Makeup is staggering, this prince is the first in force, rarely has opponents, has grown up in the military camp to lead soldiers to fight since he was a child, he must not be proficient in poetry, and he is also a good hand if he doesn't want to dance and write.

The people around applauded, and the attendants naturally joined in, and their voices were obviously louder.

Rong Xijue was interested, but when he looked at the second lamp, it was a round Luoyang Palace lamp, painted with a picture of flowers and birds, and the book "Fly to the forest in February, and the purple shade of spring dawn." Hit a bird name"

Ling Xiang thought to herself that the original sentence of this poem was "In February, the yellow oriole flew into the forest, and the spring city was forbidden and the shade was shady." "The mystery is hidden, it should be Huang Li, if you have not read "All Tang Poems", you must be stumped.

I saw Rong Xijue pouting the corners of his mouth and shaking his head, as if mocking the riddle was too simple, and he waved his pen and dropped the word "Yellow Bird".

Ling Xiang was a little admired, the sentences in the whole Tang Dynasty poems were not very obscure, if he was a scholar, it would not be strange to answer easily, but he was a general who grew up externally, so he had to be impressive.

The surroundings are applauded again, there are obviously more people in the market on this side of Tonghu Lane, and people with about the status have gone to Taipingfang, Chaoyangfang and even Zhuyifang, Liuhefang and other places.

The two of them are like fairies, even if they cover half of their faces, they are also extremely handsome, the blue Luo mustache picked up the reward money in a big copper cymbal, embarrassed to give it, thought about it and put it down, opened the top drawer of a dark wooden cabinet behind him, took out a silver mandarin duck and swept the sideburns and said: "It's not a very valuable thing, give it to the little lady to play with." ”

Wang Bao hurriedly stepped forward to take it, Rong Xijue raised his chin at Ling Makeup, and his smug expression overflowed on his face.

When Ling Makeup was bored in the boudoir, he often played with others, but he was never as cheerful as he was today.

Rong Xijue obviously hadn't played lantern riddles, and she was very involved, and actually put the winning silver mandarin duck sideburns on the side of her hair, looked left and right, and said: "The bright moon is bright, and it looks better than the golden jade." ”

Ling Ying bowed, and said with a straight face, "Thank you for your reward." He stood up straight and laughed out loud.

Hurriedly pulled Rong Xijue to see the third lamp.

This modest rosewood refined, stained glass filament landscape painting is the largest among the five palace lamps.

The blue straight mustache arched his hand and said, "Childe, this is the most difficult one, you can guess from the back two." ”

Rong Xijue glanced at him lightly, took the pen and wrote a couplet.

Ling Makeup hadn't seen the title clearly, and he was almost stunned when he saw his next link.

Together, the upper link is a mystery "pearl curtain hanging silver shuttle." ”

Rong Xijue wrote: "Dancing Chanjuan in the white jade plate".

Wang Bao and the others are coarse and literate, so they naturally can't understand it, but Ling Makeup is real, but he smiles, but it is also shallow, but he really can't imagine that the prince is so civil and military all-rounder.

The upper link refers to the new moon, and the lower link implicitly holds the full moon.

The main family was also putting up a lantern to make a celebration, and hurriedly sent the white cloud double-linked jade buckle, and arched his hand: "The son is only eight buckets high, and he will be able to win the Toad Palace." ”

Raising the white jade buckle high, shaking it a few times at Ling Makeup, and throwing it to Wang Bao, Rong Xijue laughed.

The slaves and the guards understood, and they were all speechless.

"Toad Palace Wins Laurel"! What a big ambition!

The crown prince swept half the street, and not a single riddle could stump him.

Ling Makeup is also smart, there are still a lot of riddles that can't be guessed, and he can only sigh how unfair it is for God to create people.

The Jade Rabbit slanted westward, Rong Xijue also had a good time, and the dark guard held a lot of bits and pieces in his hands, and even gave Wang Bao a look.

The flow of people on the street has been sparse, and a bone-flowered bamboo silk warm sedan chair is raised behind the head.

The Lantern Festival market is clogged, and it is difficult for cars and horses to pass, but it is not as light as this bamboo sedan chair, and the guards walk steadily, and it will not be bumpy.

Ling Xiang shook his head: "Let's step on the moon and return?"

Rong Xijue's interest was still unfinished, so he naturally said yes, and the two of them walked slowly on the long street side by side.

It is still full of street lamp market, the light is strange, the bright moon is clear and bright, the Milky Way is moving to the stars, the sound of firecrackers is becoming more and more sparse and scattered, it seems that the night is getting deeper, the two hold hands, walk on the bluestone ground, Ling makeup but feel peaceful and warm in the heart, the years are quiet, so white-headed and old, it is really the happiest thing in the world.

Stepping on a stone crack under her feet, she stumbled, and was already supported by the tall body beside her, seeing that his eyes showed reproach, she smiled mischievously, wrapped her hands around his neck, and said, "I can't walk." ”

Rong Xijue didn't call the soft sedan chair, gently picked her up, walked and ran, and the attendants behind were panting, only to hear the master's hearty and bright laughter in the cold wind.

There are still many people on the street, looking at the shocking couple, and they are still talking about it for a long time.

The secret guard had already rushed to the front over the inner attendant, Wei Jin supported his knees with his hands and panted, and grinned at Wang Bao: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness has shown his majesty in the court, otherwise our Liangdi Niangniang will be crowned with the title of demon concubine by the officials!"

Wang Bao nodded in agreement, this good lady looked at Wen Wan and knew the etiquette, but how could she be spoiled by the prince in a short period of time? )>
