Chapter 126: Lantern Riddle Contest (Add more for Yayalhc)
Sun Xun smiled at the vendor: "Since you can't find it, you don't have to look for it, you can make her laugh, and the rest is your reward." After saying this, he raised his feet and left, leaving only the peddler with the broken silver and smirking in place, and it was indeed a good day, and he met a nobleman.
Liu Xuan walked all the way and ate all the way, a street has not come to an end, but her stomach has long been unable to fit, at this moment the sky has become dark, Li Che saw her like this and said to her: "Let's go back and enjoy the lanterns." ”
Liu Xuan touched her round belly and nodded, Liu Zhiqing sighed behind her: "Fortunately, you don't eat it, if you eat like this again, I'm about to vomit." ”
Liu Xuan turned around and glared at him: "People say that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, although you are not the prime minister, you are the first talent in the world, even if you can't take a boat, you should be able to hold the next barrel and the like, but I see that you can't even fit a few kinds of food, is it possible that the world's first talent who is rich and rich is a person who sells his reputation and reputation?" ”
"Strong words!" Liu Zhiqing rolled his eyes at her and quarreled with her: "If you really say so, isn't every prime minister a pot-bellied person?" That's not the case when I'm looking to the left. ”
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "The left phase is not, then the right phase must be." In other words, I have only heard of Wu Zuoxiang, but I don't know who the right minister is, how I have never heard of it. ”
Hearing that she mentioned the right minister, Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun immediately glanced at Li Che and then immediately withdrew their gaze, Liu Zhiqing said to Liu Xuan: "What are you doing so much, anyway, the prime minister is not as pot-bellied as you say, the lantern is already on, do you want to take a look?" ”
"Go. Of course you have to go. Liu Xuan turned around and walked back, muttering as she went: "I'm just asking casually, so fierce." ”
Liu Zhiqing rolled her eyes helplessly behind her when she heard this, and Cao Ying, who was beside her, said with a smile: "My sister has not been in the capital for a long time, there are some things you may not know, the right minister was corrupt and bribed, and was beheaded by the noon gate a few years ago. Although the people have forgotten. But the name of the right minister is no longer mentioned. ”
Liu Xuan heard that she answered lightly and said that she knew, and then she didn't ask again, but her brows furrowed slightly, four years ago? Decapitation at noon?
She snorted softly in her heart. What a coincidence.
Men and women were prostitutes. No wonder he hid his identity.
I remembered the repentance he said that day. Liu Xuan pulled the corners of her lips slightly, the means are so ruthless, he deserves to regret it!
Li Che seemed to know what she was thinking. Holding her hand and shaking it hard, Liu Xuan looked up and saw the gaze cast by his deep eyes, and she silently rolled her eyes at him.
Li Che took her white eyes into the bottom of her eyes, pursed her lips, and finally didn't say anything, only led her forward.
Everyone returned to Chang'an Street, the street was already full of all kinds of lanterns, and there were vendors on both sides of the street who began to sell lanterns.
Cao Ying said with a smile: "These lanterns are not worth mentioning, there is a teahouse on this Chang'an Street is a century-old brand, the teahouse is not lively on weekdays, but the owner of the teahouse is the main lantern craftsman, every Shangyuan Festival, the teahouse will always hold a lantern riddle conference, the first person of the conference can get a lantern made by the owner of the teahouse." ”
Liu Xuan became interested when she heard it: "Is the lantern made by the owner of the teahouse so good?" Can you get everyone to compete for it? ”
Cao Ying smiled at her: "Sister will know if you go and take a look." ”
Liu Xuan nodded and turned around and said to Liu Zhiqing: "The number one talent in the world, I will count on you with this lantern today." ”
Liu Zhiqing smiled at her, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will get it for you for my brother if you fancy any lantern today." ”
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows at him and said a big word, and then asked Cao Ying to take her towards the teahouse.
The teahouse is not big, only two floors, look at it is very quaint and can be seen for some years, when Liu Xuan and his party arrived at the teahouse, the teahouse can already be described as a sea of people, there are a few lanterns hanging outside the teahouse, and there are lantern riddles hanging on the lanterns, and many people are shaking their heads and guessing.
Liu Xuan wanted to guess, but Cao Ying told her with a smile that these lanterns outside are just the secondary, and the riddles are also the simplest, there are good lanterns inside, and the lanterns on the second floor are boutiques, and the lanterns on the second floor are getting more and more difficult, the best lanterns are the ones made by the owner of the teahouse, which are placed in the center of the second floor, and naturally the lantern riddles are also the most difficult, and it is said that no one has guessed them for two years.
After hearing this, Liu Xuan blinked and said with a smile: "Since some people are ashamed to say that I can choose, then let's go directly to the second floor to get the best lantern." ”
Cao Ying smiled and nodded with her eyes bent: "Exactly, with Liu Gongzi here, I can also pick a few favorites." ”
Liu Zhiqing saw that the two of them were smiling, and sighed at the moment: "Women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." If I regret it at this moment, can I still be in a hurry? ”
"Naturally, it's too late." Sun Xun on the side also quipped: "Let's go, the number one talent in the world." ”
Everyone talked and laughed and walked towards the teahouse, and Liu Zhiqing followed silently with a bitter face.
This teahouse is not something that can be entered casually, you need to pay a certain amount of silver taels before entering the teahouse, Liu Xuan, who is doing business, understands this, Sun Xu handed over the silver, and Liu Xuan and others entered the teahouse.
Liu Xuan and others entered the teahouse and went directly to the second floor, as soon as they went up to the second floor, they saw a giant lantern hanging in the center, the lantern was as tall as a person, it was very conspicuous in the hall, it was difficult not to attract people's attention, although the lantern was huge, but it was very exquisite, the sixteen lamps were all story paintings, and what was even more surprising was that the sixteen lamps were still slowly rotating.
Liu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw that the paintings on the sixteen lamps were connected to a story, which was about a bunch of young men and women who met by chance on the Shangyuan Festival and then tied the knot. After reading the story, I saw a riddle hanging on the lantern, the riddle was a little long, and I saw that it was written: Why is there no fish in the water? Where is there no stone in the mountain? What tree has no branches? What son has no father? Who has no husband? Where is there no city?
Liu Xuan was looking at the mystery when Liu Zhiqing and others also came to her side to look, Liu Xuan thought for a long time and had no clue and simply gave up, she said to Liu Zhiqing who was frowning and thinking beside her: "My good brother-in-law, this matter can be handed over to you, what you said, as long as I look at you, I will take it for me." ”
Liu Zhiqing smiled slightly bitterly when he heard this: "For my brother, I can only say that I will do my best." ”
At this moment, Liu Zhiqing saw this mystery, and no longer had the confidence he had before, Liu Xuan knew that this mystery was very difficult, otherwise no one would have come out for two years, so he nodded immediately: "Just do your best, who said that the world's first talent must be omnipotent." ”
She was looking for Liu Zhiqing to go down the stairs, and Liu Zhiqing smiled at her, which was regarded as receiving her love.
Liu Zhiqing thought about the lantern riddle before the lantern, Liu Xuan wanted to look elsewhere, Cao Ying has been gentle and polite to her for a long time, but he didn't talk to her much, Liu Xuan took the initiative to slap her hand with some apologies and said: "Sister Ying and I will go to see the other lanterns, if Liu Zhiqing can't guess this lantern riddle, let's take some other back." ”
Liu Xuan took the initiative to get close to Cao Ying, Cao Ying was a little flattered, she glanced at Li Che, and saw that he was not annoyed, so she smiled and said to Liu Xuan: "Okay, let's pick too." ”
Liu Xuan nodded, and then greeted Li Che and Sun Xun, she smiled and said to Li Che: "I and Sister Ying, you and Sun Xun, before Liu Zhiqing guesses the lantern riddle or gives up, let's compete to see who gets more lanterns, so that you can see if women are inferior to men." ”
Li Che naturally responded to such a provocation immediately: "Okay, what if you lose." ”
Liu Xuan had never thought about the bet of winning or losing, and the previous competition was just a whim, but now when he heard Li Che say this, he began to think about it immediately.
Li Che raised the corners of his lips slightly: "If Sun Xun and I win, you and I will get married after January, okay?" ”
Liu Xuan shook her head immediately when she heard this, and after shaking it, she saw Li Che's slightly green face, she coughed lightly and explained: "I haven't thought about it yet, and besides, a month is too hasty, and I haven't prepared the wedding dress yet." ”
Liu Xuan is completely making excuses, where is the princess's wedding dress embroidered by herself, Li Che didn't pierce her when she heard this, she only nodded with a blue face and reluctantly agreed with her statement: "Since you want to embroider the wedding dress yourself, I won't stop you, Ming'er will start embroidering, I will let Sun Xun give you the style of the wedding dress." ”
Liu Xuan nodded to indicate that she knew, lamenting in her heart that she really had nothing to do, but she was also relieved, to be honest, when it came to marrying Li Che, her first reaction was to refuse, she was a little puzzled, she had already thought about it, didn't she?
Li Che didn't speak when he saw her nodding, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, took two steps forward, bowed his head and whispered in Liu Xuan's ear: "If you lose, you will go to the prince's mansion every day for a month to serve the palace and sleep." When he had finished speaking, he straightened up again, and looked at her with deep eyes with a slight smile on his face.
Liu Xuan's face turned red when she heard his whispered words, she had already rejected Li Che once, this time she really couldn't say no more, Liu Xuan bit her lower lip and nodded almost invisibly, as calm as Li Che, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips when she nodded.
Liu Xuan saw him laughing, and asked in annoyance, "What if you lose?" ”
Li Che raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I will lose?" ”
"There are no absolutes." Liu Xuan raised her neck and said, "Sister Ying and I are not talentless, you just have to say what if you lose?" ”
Li Che snorted lightly: "If I lose, the wedding date is up to you." (To be continued......)
