58 pairs

A few people walked as they talked, and soon walked to the side of the stage.

On both sides of the stage, there are already three layers inside and three layers outside, and they can't squeeze in at all.

Qiu Ci didn't want to crowd with others, so he found a shady tree at the bottom of a little farther away, and stood under the tree to watch the people on the stage.

Fortunately, the stage is high enough that you can see clearly even if you stand farther away.

sang "The Legend of Yingying" on the stage, saying that Cui Yingying met a scholar in an ancient temple, and the scholar hit it off at first sight and attracted each other, but Cui Yingying's parents strongly opposed this family business, because the scholar was poor and talented, and the family had no power and power.

Later, Cui Yingying's family was besieged in the temple by the thieves, and Cui's mother promised that if anyone could repel the thieves, Yingying would be married to him.

After the scholar learned about it, he asked his friends to help him and finally repelled the thief, but Cui's mother later repented and asked the scholar to gain fame before she was willing to marry her daughter to him.

In the end, the scholar finally won the top prize, and he and Cui Yingying had a lover and finally became a family.

I am afraid that such a story is also popular with the public.

This play is now singing to the ** time, and it is about Cui Yingying asking the matchmaker to send a letter to the scholar.

"Under the west chamber of the moon, the windward door is half-open. The shadow of the flowers on the wall moved, and it was suspected that the jade man was coming. ”

This poem was originally a dumb riddle, and the meaning of the poem was only known to Cui Yingying herself, but the scholar misunderstood it and went over the wall in the middle of the night.

When he climbed over the wall, Cui Yingying was startled, and she hugged her little heart and exclaimed, "Who is it?" ”

This process was extremely funny, causing everyone in the audience to laugh, and even Qiu Ci couldn't help but laugh.

The sunlight casts a golden shadow through the dappled shadows of the trees, and the girls look at the stage in the distance with a smile, and the sporadic sunlight falls on them, such a scene attracts the sideways eyes of passers-by.

Zhuxi is not big, such a group of young and good-looking girls, their manners are generous and decent, they are rare.

It can also be seen that this is not an ordinary peasant child.

Among a group of girls, one of the pink is particularly conspicuous.

The skin like a white jade fat ball, the three thousand green silks were smooth and soft, and the breeze blew, and she gently brushed the hair around her ears, revealing the delicate pearl earrings in her ears.

Whose lady is it?

Passers-by cast envious glances.

When the brother stood next to him, he looked proud.

This is their young lady, although my father said that the young lady is here to recuperate, but he looks, how does the young lady seem to be sick? I'm afraid it's much healthier than him.

He had heard Ping'er say that the young lady could run in the peach forest for two hours without panting, and ordinary girls would never be able to do this.

But they can.

Everyone was attracted by this play, and stared at the stage in the distance for a moment, but Qiu Ci noticed that there was another small stall not far from the stage.

There are a lot of people around, but at first glance, there are some literati, unlike the people around the stage, there are all kinds of people.

"What is it doing there?" Qiu Ci asked when the brother.

"Oh." When the brother glanced in that direction, he said with some envy, "I heard that it was a couplet from the Yunxiang Academy in Beijing, and the color head was 1,000 taels of silver, but after three days, no one could match it." ”

A thousand taels of silver?

For Qiu Ci, this is a huge amount of money.

Three thousand taels can buy a good house in the capital, what is a thousand taels of money is not a huge amount of money?

Yunxiang Academy, Qiu Ci is known.

It is the academy under the name of the Jiguo Mansion, which is opened by Yun Ming's family, and a thousand taels of silver is indeed not much for them.

With this calculation, Akiji walked in that direction.

The maids were happy to watch the play, and Qiu Ci didn't call them, only Huanxi saw that Qiu Ci wanted to go, so Qiu Ci took her over.

Qiu Ci told Brother Dang'er not to follow, anyway, the stall was not far from the stage, and it could be seen under this tree.

There was a long list of cases in front of the stall, and there were already many people leaning in front of them, but no one dared to approach.

When Qiu Ci walked there, there was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old who was also standing in front of several cases, she was wearing a blue emerald cigarette shirt, with a pleated skirt of scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a light purple belt around her waist, which made her waist light and slender.

The long black hair is loosely hairpinned, and only a golden step is inserted, which is both precious and elegant.

Such a girl stands in the crowd and has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Akiji noticed her right away.

At this time, the girl pursed her lips and looked at the couplet placed in the middle of several cases.

"People have passed the Great Buddha Temple, and the Temple Buddha has been bigger than people."

It looks simple, but when you read it closely, there is something special about it.

The latter sentence turned out to be a backward reading of the previous sentence, but no matter how you read it, this sentence is still so smooth, and the meaning is reasonable, adding more charm.

It is no wonder that this couplet stumped so many literati, and in three days, no one could win a thousand taels of silver.

The stall keeper was also a student from Yunxiang Academy, who had been guarding here for three days, and was now a little impatient.

There were many onlookers, and he just glanced lazily at the crowd, and then lowered his head to look at the book in his hand.

In a small place like Zhuxi, what capable person can come up with this couplet?

Qiu Ci also stood in front of the long case, looking at the couplet carefully.

"Ah, this is the young lady of the Bai family! Someone in the crowd suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Which one?" Someone asked again.

"The one standing at the front is Miss Bai."

"Miss Bai is here too?"

"The lady of the merchant's house, what can she do?" Someone said disdainfully.

"Miss Bai to one, Miss Bai!" There was a heckling.

Qiu Ci saw that the girl's face just now suddenly turned red, she lowered her head, tightly clutched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and looked extremely embarrassed, but she didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, but straightened her waist and stood there more firmly looking at the couplet.

This girl is the concubine of the Bai family, Bai Rixi.

The young master of the Bai family is a fool, since he learned about this matter, the girls of the Bai family have taken on a heavy responsibility, and they will be in charge of the Bai family's industry in the future.

The maid behind Bai Rixiao was a little unbearable, why did the young lady come here so well? What couplet? This is something that only literati do, as long as their young ladies can read and write, can they settle accounts? Why come here to be embarrassed?

The maid gently tugged at the corner of Bai Rixi's clothes, "Miss, let's go......"

Bai Rixi didn't want to go, she was curious, and at the same time she was very strong, she wanted to know what this couplet that no one could make for three days was like.

She wants to win a good reputation for the Bai family, the girls in the merchant family are not only in charge of the accounts, they are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are also good at pairs.

But the maids were very anxious, they had run away secretly, and now they were recognized, if the lord and lady knew, they would inevitably have to discipline the young lady again.

Miss has been very strict with her family since she was a child, and the Bai family can't let her do such a humiliating thing.
