Chapter 52: The Old Man

Sanniang pulled her back: "Why can't I know?" Mama Shen often goes outside, and she told me that in the past few days, there are lantern riddles and fireworks by the Jian'an River, which is even more lively than here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Really?" Wang Qilian likes to join in the fun, and when she heard Sanniang say that it was more lively than here, she immediately became interested.

"It must be true, that's why I want to sneak out and have a look."

She is telling the truth, it is true that the Jian'an River is lively, Wangchun Tower is on the opposite side of the Jian'an River, and Sanniang always likes to watch the excitement upstairs in the past.

Wang Qilian can only sneak out occasionally, and she doesn't know where to go, of course, she doesn't know where it's fun and lively.

This time, Chang Sanniang pulled her: "Let's go, let's go over." ”

"Do you still know the way?" Wang Qilian was quite surprised.

Sanniang was busy denying: "Of course I don't know, you look at the whereabouts of the crowd, since it is the most lively place, there must be many people going." Let's follow the crowd, and if it doesn't work, we'll find someone to ask. ”

Wang Qilian nodded reluctantly: "That's okay, if you really can't find it, let's go back here." ”

Sanniang couldn't find the way, just make up a panic to coax her.

Jian'an River is also on West Street, they are on the street at this time, but they are at the end of the street over there. The two came along the crowd, and Sanniang chatted with Wang Qilian along the way to divert her attention and take her to the Jian'an River.

"It's almost there" Sanniang pointed to the fireworks lit on the river bank in front of her, rising straight into the sky, and finally scattering into stars in the night sky, and then gradually disappearing.

"Wow!" Wang Qilian's eyes widened and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful......"

At this time, there was a commotion on the bank of the river, and someone struck the gong and shouted: "Tingting who spends the Spring Festival with her, dots the branches and shallow Yijiao, and Du Liniang, the new leader of Wangchun Building, invites the scribes to compete, and chooses the winner to spend the night together......"

The man kept repeating the words, causing everyone on the side of the road to look at each other.

Someone coaxed: "Wangchun Tower is not righteous!" No one will let it out to see, in case it is the imitation of Dong Shi, we will not be blessed. ”

"That's it! Get people out and see ......"

The shouting man stood on top of a painting boat in the middle of the river, and then said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the beauty must be a real beauty, if you don't cover it up first, how boring would it be to show your face directly?" ”

The crowd of onlookers on the shore laughed again: "How can that beauty show her face?" ”

"I'll give me a question, and if someone can answer it correctly, the beauty will come out of the boat. If no one can answer, then I am afraid I will not see you tonight. ”

"Come on, you should hurry up and get the question out." Said the man who was heathing on the shore.

Among this group of people, there are not necessarily a few who really have the heart to spend the Spring Festival with the Oiran, and most of them are lively.

Wang Qilian had never heard of this and had never seen it, and shouted: "Let's go, let's go ...... too"

Sanniang was a little embarrassed: "That's not what the girl should mix, let's just take a look." ”

Where is she willing to listen, she rushed straight into the crowd, and Sanniang could only follow.

When I got closer, I saw the scene in the river, the boat was surrounded by river lamps floating from the upstream, and there were no wooden windows in the cabin, and a wisp of tulle was used instead. As soon as the wind blows, the light veil floats up, and I can vaguely see that there is indeed a woman sitting inside, and I don't know what the person inside is wearing, anyway, Sanniang feels cold when she looks at it.

The person who just sounded the gong and shouted looked at him as a boy who was no more than a double ten, and there were many of them in the flower building, and his family was sold to be a turtle slave in it, and sometimes he earned more than the subordinates in the big family.

"Everyone, please listen to the question" The turtle slave stood in front of the painting boat, and saw that it aroused the interest of everyone on the shore, so he said: "The puzzle is 'slush traces', and the riddle is two lines of poetry, please answer." ”

Everyone on the shore instantly fell silent, asking each other one after another, discussing the mystery.

No one answered for a long time, and a man who looked weak said: "It has been snowing in the capital for ten days, and the court has been prosperous!" After he finished speaking, he stared at the turtle slave's expression, expecting to answer.

The turtle slave shook his head: "No, this boy should carefully understand the meaning of the puzzle. ”

The weak boy was deflated, and someone on the shore replied: "The plum is like snow, and the whole body is still full." ”

"No, the little one said when he came up with the question, the riddle is two lines of poetry, not words." The turtle slave responded.

The crowd fell into deep thought again, and for a long time no one answered.

"The mountain loop can't turn around, and there is a place for horses to travel in the snow." Such a voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, which made Sanniang feel familiar, and if you look closely, who is it not the amorous Su Qinyu?

He is wearing a red brocade robe today, which is a little more noble than the appearance of the dust half a month ago.

Su Qinyu's appearance here is not unusual at all, but the person who was traveling next to him really surprised Sanniang, could it be that Lu Yiyang also has such an interest?

The turtle slave on the boat didn't say anything wrong with the team, and asked: "This boy might as well talk about your thoughts, and if you don't understand, you can't count." ”

This is a bit of a trick, but Su Qinyu doesn't think so: "'Slush traces' refers to the footprints of wild geese left on the dirt road after the snow, describing the traces left by the past. And the mystery I gave is roughly the same as the meaning of the word, and there may be a better answer, but I will only think of this one in the next one. ”

"Childe answered very well, and the little one gave this riddle exactly the answer." The turtle slave said politely, turned to the painting boat and whispered: "Girl, come out......"

At this time, everyone couldn't hold it back, and squeezed forward one by one, looking towards the painting boat.

Sanniang and the others were squeezed by this group of people and had no room for movement, but Wang Qilian didn't care, and followed everyone to watch.

The woman in the boat lifted the curtain with her jade hand and slowly walked out of it.

Someone in the crowd sighed: "This Wangchun Tower is worthy of being the first floor of the capital, and the capital is a veritable beauty every year." ”

Sanniang also stood on tiptoe to look, but she was stunned at this look, the woman was wearing a dark red brocade robe, with a fallen horse bun on her head, her sideburns were adorned with beaded flowers, and her hair bun was wearing a tassel and a step. It's not necessarily that she was shocked, but that delicate face made Sanniang's heart mixed.

She never knew that Lishu was also the leader of Wangchun Tower, let alone that she had sold her body at this time. This so-called leader is not an oiran, but in fact he is the best of many Qingqi, as for today's Wen Biao, it is actually to choose someone to open her face, of course, the selected person cannot be penniless.

"Li Niang thanked all the sons and lords for coming here," she said, and saluted Su Qinyu's blessing: "Son, answer the first question, if you answer the next question correctly, you will be a distinguished guest in the little girl's boat." ”

It is said that it is the guest in the boat, and the benefactor in the room is, how can this work!

Su Qinyu is a cunning image, obviously a son of a jade tree in the wind, but Sanniang just thinks that he has bad intentions when he laughs.
