Chapter 63: The One Who Asks for It
"I just said that I like all the lamps, and now that I go up, I naturally have to guess the lamps."
In Xie Ning's impression, this Miss Gu has always been gentle and soft-spoken, and when has she used such a cold tone.
Because of the veil, Xie Ning couldn't see the look on Gu Qingyun's face clearly, but just listening to this cold sentence, he could guess a little bit about her current state of mind.
The two were not familiar with each other, and in the face of Gu Qingyun, whose face suddenly turned gloomy, for a while, Xie Ning didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only look at Qin Feng for help.
"If you didn't want to go before, why go now?"
Qin Feng landed on the ground with a word, Gu Qingyun's footsteps paused slightly, but he finally walked forward without looking back.
Is there such a persuasion? Xie Ning was speechless, and looked at Shang Qin Feng's casual gaze, and silently smoothed the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"The second puzzle, the sunset and autumn lights are dim, play a flower name!"
The loud voice of reading the riddle came from the front, but after a moment, Wei Qingyang stroked his palm and smiled: "This question is simple. The words fell and looked at the three people on the table again, "Do you have a solution?" ”
Looking at the tacit smiles of the two people beside him, Xie Ning couldn't help but be a little deflated and shook his head gently.
"Since Gongzi Wei and Miss Wei have the answer, why not give it a try?"
Wei Qingyang glanced at his sister, and saw that she had a vague look of eagerness, so he stretched out his hand to help her up, then looked at Qin Feng, and asked politely, "Does the prince want to go along?" ”
"No," Qin Feng's voice was also extremely detached, "I'll accompany Miss Xie here." ”
was mentioned by him for no reason, Xie Ning looked over in surprise, "The little girl is just waiting here, Your Highness doesn't have to take care of it." ”
Wei Qingyang's eyes flashed and he retracted his steps.
Qin Feng took a sip of tea, waved his hand at the Wei brothers and sisters, and said, "Go ahead, it's hard for me to go out, it's better to watch the excitement and fun below." ”
This time the mystery was indeed simpler than the previous one, but after a moment's effort, many people left their seats and came over. Wei Qingyang didn't hesitate any longer, and after nodding his head, he escorted Wei Qingcheng forward.
In this way, only Xie Ning and Qin Feng were left on the table. Looking up at Qin Feng, who was sipping with his eyes down, Xie Ning directly persuaded him: "Watching the excitement in the audience, how can it be more interesting than guessing riddles in the past?" If I hadn't been negligent, I would have wanted to go up and win a lamp and come back. I appreciate Brother Ziyue's kindness, but it's hard for you to go out, so it's better to have fun with Brother Xiao and them. ”
"That's not what I meant," Qin Feng raised his head suddenly, the smile in his eyes was clear, and his voice also brought out pleasure, but the words suddenly changed, "Ah Ning, in your opinion, why did they come forward to guess the light?" ”
Xie Ning pursed his lips, and after thinking for a moment, he replied seriously: "You have to pay fifty taels of silver to guess a lamp in Yunzhilou, if you just want to have fun, the lamp market outside should be more popular." If you like this lantern style, it's not necessarily true. Presumably, there should be a lot of people who came to this Yunzhilou Yinuo. ”
"You're right," Qin Feng raised his hand and poured her a cup of tea, "Xiao Yan likes to have fun, and Miss Wei likes lanterns, but most of the people on this stage have different intentions from them. Yunzhilou Qixi lantern is sought after, but it is not only by this promise. You see these literati here, they are here for the sake of fame. Solve a tricky riddle to be worthy of the name of a genius. ”
Xie Ning held the tea handed by Qin Feng, looked at Qin Feng with unblinking eyes, and waited until he finished speaking, then nodded suddenly.
Qin Feng naturally didn't miss her movements, and when he noticed her focused gaze, his heart moved, and he said frankly: "It's not that I don't want nothing, but for me, instead of pinning my hopes on others, it's better to fight for it myself." So this Tanabata lantern is not of much use to me. ”
There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. Why ask people for what you can do on your own? Xie Ning agreed with Qin Feng's opinion, and the two chatted a few more words before continuing to look ahead.
After the group of people who guessed the lantern on the stage finished writing one by one, the guy standing aside shouted again: "The riddle of the second lamp is 'cloves', Miss Gu guessed it!" ”
Miss Gu? When Xie Ning heard the sound, he saw that after everyone on the stage avoided one after another, the red-clothed woman standing in the middle of the crowd, holding an octagonal palace lamp. Even from a distance, Shainin could identify her at a glance.
Gu Qingyun had taken off the veil on her face, and in front of her beautiful face, there was no shortage of exclamations and praises in the building, and there were even more people with sharp eyes, and she said her identity in one sentence - "It's the eldest lady in Gu Xiang's mansion!" ”
As soon as this sentence was shouted, the crowd became more and more restless. Gu Qingyun was unmoved, handed the lantern to the maid beside her, walked to the Wei brothers and sisters and stood up, waiting for the next game.
After her actions, although there was still discussion in the building, it gradually lowered down and stopped disturbing people.
Looking at the extremely eye-catching red shadow on the stage, Xie Ning couldn't help but recall Qin Feng's words, and secretly doubted in his heart: Yun Zhilou guessed the lamp, there are few people who have a true temperament, and there are many people who strive for fame and profit, so I don't know why this Miss Gu is?
"What are you thinking?"
His thoughts were interrupted by an inquiry from the person beside him, Xie Ning raised his head suddenly, and didn't know how to answer for a moment at Shang Qin Feng's concerned look. She was just thinking about Gu Qingyun's intention to guess the lamp. If you say it bluntly, you will inevitably have the suspicion of criticizing Gu Qingyun behind Qin Feng's back, but Qin Feng has always treated her frankly and secretly, which is inevitably a little unrighteous...... Xie Ning bit his lip and hesitated in his heart.
Looking at the wrinkled little faces of the people beside him, Qin Feng thoughtfully changed the topic, "At the current speed, this guessing light must be almost over." If you have any places you want to go, you might as well think about it in advance and let's go together. ”
Now I have guessed the fifth light, except for the first one that was taken away by Xiao Yan, the other four lights are all owned by Gu Qingyun. Even Shainin, who doesn't know anything, can see that she is really good at guessing riddles. After all, this guessing lamp must not only guess correctly, but also guess quickly.
Xie Ning has been in Beijing for a long time, but because of the curfew, he has never had the opportunity to travel to the capital at night, and it is easy to catch the Qixi Festival, but he was brought to this Yunzhilou by Wei Xiaomei, I thought that the desire for this night tour was in vain, but because Gu Qingyun suddenly went to guess the riddle and had a turnaround, I was happy in my heart at the moment, and said to Qin Fengle: "Although I am a newcomer to Beijing, I have heard that there is a famous restaurant in the west of the city, and I don't know if it will open tonight, Brother Ziyue is willing to go with me to find out?" ”
"But it's disrespectful." Qin Feng bowed.
While the two were talking, a person in the next seat suddenly turned back from the high platform. Xie Ning glanced at it casually, and was about to withdraw his gaze when a conversation between the two came from his ears.
"Didn't Brother Li swear before that he would guess these ten lanterns and come back?"
