A few people from behind followed, Pei Nian and Zhu had also seen Luo Chen, a little surprised, and a little vigilant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"This is Miss Autumn Reed. Luo Zhao then introduced that she didn't know the other two.
"Autumn Reed Girl. Luo Chen was very polite, and smiled at the other two girls, they knew each other.
The faces of the two of them suddenly darkened, but they saw Dong Qinghe waving his hand gently, and then they relaxed.
Luo Zhao pulled Dong Qinghe to look at the lanterns here, they are all excellent lanterns, whether it is in terms of workmanship, materials, or portrayal and writing, they are not picky, what kind of things match what kind of literature, and I don't know how difficult these lantern riddles will be.
Luo Chen stood behind Luo Zhao very intimately, moving with her steps, this is a brother's way of protecting his sister.
The lantern riddles on this are not only limited to anagrams or even riddles, but also others, such as some requirements to be able to recite a certain prescription, some requirements to be able to recite a certain article, and some requirements for women to play on the spot, and some requirements to eat 25 steamed buns in one go.
All kinds of lantern riddles can be regarded as eye-opening for Dong Qinghe, and some of them are really interesting.
Luo Zhao took a fancy to a lantern that danced for nine days, in the middle, the wood was carved into the shape of a phoenix, surrounded by layers of lanterns, the inside was gauze paste, and on it was a portrait of a woman.
Luo Zhao is going to enter the palace in this year's draft, and she must hope that she will go as far as possible, and at this time, such a lantern of phoenix dancing for nine days is a blessing for her.
"It's pretty good. Dong Qinghe smiled and didn't say anything, she didn't want to be involved in this regard.
Luo Zhao nodded: "Yes, wait for me." She turned around and went to find the shopkeeper of Zhegui's study.
"Do you remember the old monk in Guangfu Temple in Minghan Mountain?"
Luo Chen suddenly spoke, everyone else was behind just now, Qiu Wei wanted a lotus lantern and was painting, the owner of the lantern wanted a vivid picture of the lotus flower opening, and Pei Nian and the two followed to protect her.
Frowning, Dong Qinghe remembered: "Unsign that monk, remember." ā
She was deeply impressed, the monk was very strange to unsign, and what he said was very unreasonable, no matter how she was, she would not go above 10,000 people.
"Later, I sent someone to go, and the monk was gone, and I found out yesterday that it was the Fuyuan monk. Luo Chen's tone was a little strange, in fact, he didn't blame her, even Dong Qinghe's face was a little ugly, there are many strange people in the world, such as the old man, who uses medicine like a god and makes poison out, and there are also people like Fuyuan Divine Monk.
Fuyuan monk is not actually a monk in the real sense, in the early years he was a Taoist, and later was jealous of the same door, and was saved by an old monk, the old monk liked his qualifications, before he died, he hoped that he would devote himself to Buddhism, promote Buddhism, and could not bear to disappoint the old monk, Fuyuan shaved on the spot.
As the saying goes, to be a monk for a day to hit the clock for a day, Fuyuan has since become a master of the two families of Taoism and Buddhism, proficient in the study of the two families, especially good at divination, made many predictions during the war, avoided a lot of killings, and then walked the world, every time he made a prediction, he would save a lot of lives, and the disaster and fortune in his mouth were praised by the emperor himself.
This is a real monk, people who have never seen him may think that he is a deception and stealing the world, but people like the Dong family and the Luo family naturally know that this is true, and it is precisely because he is true that it makes people feel even more terrifying.
Dong Qinghe pulled out a smile: "It turned out to be a divine monk, and it really looks like a fairy wind bone." ā
Eh, what is she talking about, isn't the fairy wind Dao bone a person in the martial arts?
Seeing her like this, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile: "Do you believe this, why worry if you don't believe it." ā
"That's right. Dong Qinghe smiled heartily, it was her who was in love.
Behind, the corners of Dong Qingdu's eyes twitched, what does this mean, he was originally worried about Luo Chen, but he didn't expect his premonition to come true.
Chu Han's eyes widened, he was not mistaken, that dress was Dong Qinghe, and the person next to him who looked at her with a bright smile seemed to be very familiar.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Chu Han glanced at Dong Qingdu, that person, it seems to be Luo Chen of the Luo family, so courageous.
Chu Lin touched his chin behind him, he didn't know, it turned out that Luo Chen was still a fellow practitioner.
Even he didn't dare to make a move, Luo Chen was so courageous.
"Brother Luo. ā
Dong Qinghe reacted first, mainly because the voice was too familiar, and Dong Qingdu came.
"Brother Dong, I've seen two princes. ā
"No courtesy, Brother Luo is polite. Chu Lin smiled, it was better for him to go farther, he liked to watch the play, not to enter the play.
"Qinghe, didn't you say that you should take care of Qiu Wei and them. Dong Qingdu asked his sister first.
"Qiu Wei was painting and wanted the lotus lantern, so I asked Zhu Yi and them to follow Luo Zhao's sister to ask the shopkeeper for the biggest lantern. Dong Qinghe raised his chin and gestured to the phoenix dance nine-day lantern.
"Brother Dong is also here, which one do you like, it's better to take a look, a few here are very good. Luo Chen spoke up, anyway, this is also aimed at him.
"No need, but as an elder brother, I don't know which one Qinghe likes, I want to get it for her. ā
Unlike you, my sister has to get the lantern by herself, and I don't know how this brother behaves.
Chu Han came up: "Didn't you give what I gave you to Miss Dong." ā
The two of them turned their heads together, and Chu Lin pulled him back, making a lot of fun at this time.
"I want that. ā
Dong Qinghe suddenly spoke, dispersing the urgency of the scene, and following her gaze, everyone looked at a lantern not far away.
It's not very pretty, it's a red lantern, decorated with carved flowers on the outside, hazy, although it is beautiful, but inside these lanterns it is not rare.
Dong Qingdu just said that he wanted to help her get the lantern, and now that he is here, seeing her smiling, it doesn't seem like he did it on purpose.
"What's wrong. "Luo Zhao came over, Dong Qingdu, why did they come over.
"What are the conditions for that lantern?" Dong Qinghe asked her.
Speaking of this, Luo Zhao's face darkened.
"He asked for money. ā
What, everyone present is a little incredible, asking for money?
The lanterns here are all good, and the natural provenance is also excellent, either from a large local family or a famous shop.
How can it, uh, the pursuit of money, this Zhegui study itself is also a famous study, this kind of fun with the people, how can it not ask for money.
"How much?"
Luo Chen opened his mouth, Luo Zhao went out as a girl, and it was possible that he didn't bring much money.
"Well, I talked to him for a long time, and in the end, eight hundred taels. ā
Dong Qinghe didn't feel anything about this sentence, she was used to spending money lavishly, the Dong family never restricted her silver, and the richest businessman in the world took what she wanted, so she didn't spend too much.
Everyone else turned their heads and looked at the lantern, a maid, or even a big maid from an ordinary family, only two taels of silver a month, although this money was not too much for the Luo family, who was in power to the military.
What's more, as Miss Luo's family, at this time, others should not take the initiative to send it and be afraid that she will not.
Luo Chen didn't say much, he paid directly, he had seen Dong Qinghe spend money, and he didn't want his sister to be wronged.
Very good, Luo Zhao left with a few silver tickets, Dong Qinghe was a little puzzled, frowned and glanced at this lantern, this phoenix dance nine days lantern, it seemed a little strange.
Dong Qingdu walked over to ask about the Hundred Flowers Lantern, but Dong Qinghe didn't move, standing in place.
"What's wrong?" Luo Chen asked her.
"No, if you really want money, you can ask for more. ā
Luo Zhao is about to enter the palace, so her identity is different, what she wants now, no matter how much money she wants, it will be no problem.
"You can see it. Luo Chen smiled, "That's a talented man, he is He Xianshu's admirer, and when there are more people, something unexpected may happen." ā
"There's something wrong with the lantern, well, it might be a little troublesome in the future. ā
Eight hundred taels is an excuse, and the shopkeeper doesn't know some things, the Luo family found out, this lantern is hung out, and it stands to reason that it will be sold when the conditions are reached, in order not to arouse suspicion and lose his reputation, he finally compromised.
Dong Qinghe smiled and said, "It's actually pretty good-looking." ā
Raising his legs and walking to the other side, Dong Qingdu and Chu Han were looking at the Hundred Flower Lantern with great interest.
"How?"
Dong Qinghe walked over, this lantern is a craftsman's, he did a good job of making lanterns, this time he asked a relative who was a good painter to help paint, and a lantern was originally used to make a name for himself.
That is, in these places where there are many high-quality lanterns, they are taken out for others to see, and they are accompanied by the signboard of the shop that is about to open.
It's not that he doesn't want to sell, this person is simple, so he wants a good painting to pay back the relative.
knew that it was the Dong family who wanted it, so this person didn't want to say anything, only said that he wanted to give it away directly.
only said that the old man had received the favor of Mrs. Dong, if it wasn't for the team that saved them back then, he wouldn't have been able to save it, let alone the current situation of their family.
The old man has always been thinking about it, saying that there is no way to repay the great kindness, and he is a son, which is also as it should be.
When Dong Qinghe came, the two sides were pulling, one wanted to give it away for nothing, and the other refused to ask for it.
Later, Chu Lin and Luo Chen also followed, both of them were the children of Zhilan Yushu or beautiful and moving women.
Chu Lin smiled: "If it's an anagram, I still don't want to do it, maybe I can try the rest." ā
Chu Han laughed: "You are quite self-aware, but ah, Qingdu is not busy and can't meet the conditions, but refuses to ask for nothing." ā
In this way, the three of them understood what was wrong, Dong Qinghe was also a little confused, she didn't want to take advantage of it like this.
touched Dong Qingdu with his elbow: "Why?"
"What is this?" the uncle asked, with a faint answer in his mind.
"It's my sister. Dong Qingdu smiled and was very personable.
"Miss Dong, it turned out that you wanted it, so you can't ask for anything, my daughter-in-law is a believer. ā
"What are you doing at home?" Dong Qinghe was about to adopt a roundabout tactic.
"The lantern maker is going to open a small shop in a few days. "This is a sincere craftsman, I didn't expect that one day I would be able to talk to Dong Qinghe, and my daughter-in-law would definitely be very happy to go back.
"Then brother, you can inscribe a word for him and make a plaque for the shop. Dong Qinghe suggested that this is better for not wanting money.
"No, no. ā
The uncle immediately waved his hand, he really didn't need it, he didn't want to take advantage.
"It's really not very good, not everyone has that level to see the quality of the words. Chu Lin said in the back.
So what to do, Dong Qinghe usually deals with money, and other than that, he doesn't know what to do.
Dong Qinghe picked up the lantern and thought it was very good-looking, this material was really good.
"Sister Qinghe. ā
Luo Zhao had already come over, carrying a lantern in his hand, and at this time, Qiu Wei and the others also came, carrying a lotus lantern and a lantern sent by Chu Han in their hands.
In addition, Qiu Wei also has a painting in her hand.
"I'll see. Dong Qinghe unfolded the picture scroll, it was a lotus picture, beautiful, as if a lotus flower was standing in the water, in a semi-open state.
"Didn't you say that the master wanted this painting?"
Sister Qiu Wei instructed him to change his own paintings, so he didn't want this anymore and preferred his own. ā
"Not as well. At this time, the uncle who was surrounded in the middle spoke: "Give me this painting, the painting outside my lantern was also given by someone else, and I will give it to him." ā
"Okay. Qiu Wei nodded, this is a good deal.
Dong Qinghe did not refuse, and said that he would see the outside.
At this time, suddenly many people in the Zhegui study became noisy, as if something big had happened.
"I heard that the lantern festival at Mochizuki Restaurant has begun. ā
"Really, go ahead. ā
"What's going on?" Dong Qinghe turned her head, if she remembered correctly, Mochizuki Restaurant seemed to be the place where Dong Chengshuo had made an appointment with them.
"Every year, in order to show that the people are having fun, the court will prepare some lanterns, as for where it is, it is time to see where there are few people, after all, this is the matter of the court, it cannot be destroyed, and it will generally change the place temporarily, and there are too many people or people who have no identity around to suppress it. ā
Dong Qinghe suddenly understood that if there are too many people, all kinds of things are likely to happen, and once someone has bad intentions and hurts innocent people, it is a good intention to do bad things.
The things of the imperial court, it is naturally not easy to get them, and when they take them out, no one can pass them, which is also quite embarrassing.
"Then we'll go too. Luo Zhao spoke, she was in a good mood now, and she was willing to join in the fun.
"Mochizuki Restaurant seems to be Qingdu's family. Chu Lin suddenly spoke: "Let's go, let's go together, and then we can count on Qingdu." ā
Following the footsteps of many people around, I arrived at Mochizuki Restaurant after a while.
From a distance, I saw several large lanterns on the Mochizuki Restaurant, and red silk was pulled, and several people wearing vermilion official uniforms were upstairs.
Finally squeezed through everyone, and when I arrived at the door of the Mochizuki Restaurant, there was a vacant piece of land at the door, on which there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and someone was quickly setting up a wooden platform in the open space.
Many people from the government and Mochizuki Restaurant around stopped the people, Dong Qingdu stretched out his hand and beckoned a small guy to come over, naturally no one dared to stop them, and the group went directly to the top floor.
