Chapter 69 Lamp City

Countdown to the end of the month, right? My dear, for the sake of me being so obedient to the code, don't keep the monthly pass I saved. Boom!

------Off topic------

"Let's go! I'm sleepy! We went back to sleep. Qin Zheng yawned, pulled her, and walked back to Laifulou.

Xie Fanghua was speechless.

"You woman is not very careful with me, if you give it to you, you may throw it away one day. It's better for me to keep it. Qin Zheng's words fell, and seeing that Xie Fanghua was dissatisfied, he said to her. Anyway, we are together every day, and it makes no difference if you take it and I keep it. If you want to see it, you can always ask me to see it. ”

"No way!" Xie Fanghua immediately retorted.

In the interval between her hesitation, Qin Zheng took both of them into his arms and said to her, "I want them all." ”

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Fanghua glared at him, and reached out to catch the clay man, not knowing whether to arrest himself or Qin Zheng. Her own one was pinched by Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng's one was pinched by her.

Qin Zheng hooked his lips, his smile spread, the curvature of his lips became larger and larger, and after half a ring, he simply laughed.

Qingge couldn't help but sigh out loud, and admired the two of them.

The two clay figures seemed to be alive in their hands.

Qin Zheng, who Xie Fanghua pinched, raised his lips and smiled, without losing his elegance and dignity in his frivolity.

Qin Zheng's pinched Xie Fanghua lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, light and gentle and soft.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been standing behind the two of them, seeing that the two of them were clay figurines who were now learning and selling, I would have thought that they were sold at all. What's more, it's even better than the stall owner who pinched the clay figures. Especially the look of the clay figure, the clay figure pinched out by the stall owner is all wooden and wooden, without expression, but these two clay figures are different.

Qingge suddenly approached the two, and his eyes widened when he saw the clay figure staying side by side in Qin Zheng's hands.

Xie Fanghua had no choice but to take it out of his arms and put it in Qin Zheng's hands. Qin Zheng also took out the clay figure he pinched at the same time, put it in his hand, and put it side by side with the clay figure pinched by Xie Fanghua.

"Swap and see!" Qin Zheng spread his hands and did not take them back.

Xie Fanghua was naturally curious, and looked at Qin Zheng for a long time before reaching out to him, "Take it!" ”

"I'll see if it's broken." Qin Zheng stretched out his hands to her reluctantly, and seeing that Xie Fanghua didn't plan to give it, he said, "Aren't you curious about what I made you look like?" ”

"Well, it's broken!" Xie Fanghua admitted happily.

"Knowingly asked." Qin Zheng looked at her, "Aren't you really broken?" So don't you dare to give it to me? ”

Xie Fanghua blushed, "What are you looking at?" ”

After walking far, Qin Zheng spread his hand to Xie Fanghua, "Take it, I'll take a look." ”

Qingge paid the bill, and Qin Zheng saw that Xie Fanghua wanted to go back, so he no longer insisted.

The stall owner was also curious, but seeing the looks of the two, he thought that he was afraid that he would be broken, so the two of them were embarrassed to take it out. After all, clay kneading is not something that can be learned overnight.

Qingge was very curious about what these two people were pinching, and after waiting for a while, he didn't look at any of them. You can only pay the bill.

Xie Fanghua coughed, turned back to the light song and said, "Pay the bill." Let's go back! ”

Qin Zheng only glanced at it, but he didn't see it clearly, and suddenly said, "What are you doing so quickly?" ”

Just as he looked at it, Xie Fanghua also pinched it, glanced at it, and put it directly into his arms.

After about two cups of tea, Qin Zheng pinched it, glanced at it, hooked his lips and smiled, and put it directly into his arms. Then go to see the clay figure pinched by Xie Fanghua next to him.

Qin Zheng smiled, lowered his head and began to pinch Xie Fanghua's appearance seriously, Xie Fanghua saw that Qin Zheng was extremely serious, and infected her so much that she couldn't be serious.

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Almost!" ”

After half a ring, Qin Zheng asked Xie Fanghua, "Are you optimistic?" Ready to start? ”

After the two discussed, Qin Zheng stared at the female boss's methods, and Xie Fanghua could only stare at the male boss's methods. Both of them have good memories and never forget them, so after watching them once or twice, they became familiar with the technique of kneading clay figures.

Qingge rolled his eyes behind the two, isn't he human? And isn't it someone he arranged to follow secretly?

"There will be no jokes!" Qin Zheng smiled and nodded.

Xie Fanghua looked at the soft sludge in his hand, struggled for a moment, and then said, "Okay!" I'm broken, and you're not allowed to laugh at me. ”

"How much fun, don't you want to try it yourself?" Qin Zheng tempted Xie Fanghua, "Anyway, it's just the two of us, and there is no one else." I won't laugh at you if you break it. ”

Xie Fanghua's face flushed, and she finally understood what Qin Zheng meant by pulling her here. She shook her head, "I don't want to pinch." ”

Qin Zheng took one ball himself, and stuffed the other ball into Xie Fanghua's hand, and said to her, "I'll pinch you, you pinch me." ”

The boss was immediately happy, "Okay, if you pinch it yourself, I'll count you as a pair of five or two." After the words fell, he handed the two balls of oil sludge to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng shook his head, "No." The words fell, and he pointed at Xie Fanghua, "She is my daughter-in-law, I just want to pinch her myself, I don't want to fake someone else's hands." ”

The boss was stunned, obviously he had never met such a guest, so he couldn't help but glance at Qin Zheng, and asked with a smile, "Childe, you can also pinch clay figures?" ”

"Can we pinch it ourselves?" Qin Zheng asked.

"Ten taels!" The boss said.

"You can't learn!" Qin Zheng saw a pair of men and women standing in front of the two of them leave with clay figurines and get out of the way, he said to the boss, "How many silver taels a pair?" ”

"It's better to be free! I won't pinch. Xie Fanghua shook his head.

Qin Zheng sighed, looked at the methods of the boss and the boss's wife, and looked carefully, "You should be able to try." ”

"You can pinch?" Xie Fanghua looked at Qin Zheng.

"We can pinch it ourselves." Qin Zheng saw her look at his face, understood what she was thinking, and said.

Xie Fanghua looked at Qin Zheng's appearance and shook his head. Both of them are now disguised, and the boss and the proprietress are also a pair of strangers.

"Let's pinch a pair too!" Qin Zheng turned his head to Xie Fanghua and said.

The boss is a couple in their thirties, the husband pinching the man's clay figurine, and the wife pinching the woman's clay figurine.

Qin Zheng took Xie Fanghua's hand and came closer, Xie Fanghua glanced left and right, and was surprised to find that the clay figures in the hands of these people were the same as their appearance and clothes, obviously pinched according to people. Lifelike and vivid. She didn't expect such a good craft. For folk handicrafts, whether she is in her previous life or in this life, it is indeed rare.

Halfway down the street, at the corner of a street, there was a stall of clay figurines. In front of the booth, several pairs of young men and women were surrounding the stall. Some people are holding a clay figurine in their hands, some are waiting, and some are paying two pieces of silver.

Qin Zheng walked forward with her.

Xie Fanghua also rose up with curiosity and nodded.

"I'll see you when I say there." Qin Zheng's voice changed, thinking that if he said the meaning, this woman was thin-skinned, and I was afraid that she would not go.

Because when he spoke, someone suddenly shouted, Xie Fanghua didn't hear clearly, and turned his head to ask him, "What did you say?" Say it again. ”

Qin Zheng sighed, "That's it...... Well...... You have me, I have you. ”

"Clay man?" Xie Fanghua was puzzled, "What's that?" ”

"Don't be so careful!" Qin Zheng rubbed her head and said with a smile, "How long have you been in a hurry to go back after just a while?" There's a lot more fun ahead. After a pause, he said, "Especially when we came out earlier, I remember that there was a clay figurine stall. It's fun, let's go pinch two clay figurines, right? ”

Xie Fanghua glanced at him, if he was not injured and his martial arts were unharmed, it naturally didn't matter much. But now he is powerless. She thought for a moment and said, "Shall we go back?" ”

"Cheng Ming has been with me for a long time, and you and I have never deliberately covered it up, so he recognized it. But even if he recognizes it, it doesn't matter. Qin Zheng said disapprerovingly.

Xie Fanghua didn't expect that Qin Zheng and her back could also be recognized by Cheng Ming, and frowned, in this case, if there were other people in secret, would they also be recognized?

Qin Tian, Zheng Yi, and Wang Wu came to the front, and when they heard the words, they also felt that Song Fang was reasonable. The group stopped thinking and walked forward.

"Yes!" The doubts in Cheng Ming's heart suddenly disappeared.

"It is said that Brother Qin Zheng and the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion were recuperating from their injuries in the Xie Salt Warehouse Pavilion on the mountain behind the Fafo Temple. How can you see here? It must be dazzling. Such days are not new to him. Even if the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong is fresh, she is just walking around Beijing. I definitely won't come to Pingyang City, which is three hundred miles away. Song Fangdao.

"Recognize the wrong person!" Cheng Ming was a little frustrated, "There are two people, and their backs are very similar to Brother Qin Zheng and Listening Girl." When I turned around, it wasn't. ”

"Cheng Ming, why did you run so fast, leave us, and shout and scream?" Song Fang came to Cheng Ming's side and asked puzzledly, "Who did you see?" ”

Cheng Ming stood in place, looking at the backs of the two, wondering, how could the back be so imaginary, he rubbed his forehead, could it be that he ate too much wine today?

Qingge took the sword pin and followed the two.

Qin Zheng nodded, pulled Xie Fanghua to turn around, and continued to walk forward.

What Cheng Ming saw at a glance was an unfamiliar face, it was really not Qin Zheng, and then he looked at the woman beside him, and naturally he was not listening. He was suddenly a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry for the interruption." I really recognized the wrong person. Also look at Haihan. ”

At this time, Qin Zheng slowly pulled Xie Fanghua to turn his head and looked at Cheng Ming with a cold face.

Cheng Ming was stunned, and looked at the backs of Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua blankly, "Did I recognize the wrong person?" ”

Qingge suddenly swung his sword to block Cheng Ming's hand, and pushed his hand away with a sword pin, his voice had a coldness that no one should approach, "This son, did you recognize the wrong person?" My son-in-law and young lady are not the people you call them. ”

"You and the listening girl actually came here secretly to enjoy the lanterns, why didn't you know that I was waiting for these brothers?" Cheng Ming came close and reached out to pat Qin Zheng on the shoulder.

"Hey, Brother Qin Zheng!" Cheng Ming shouted again and chased after him.

Xie Fanghua heard Cheng Ming's voice, turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, and saw that his footsteps did not stop, as if he didn't hear it.

"Brother Qin Zheng!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xie Fanghua glanced back at Qingge warningly, and Qingge immediately shrunk his neck.

Qingge gave him a look that was natural.

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I underestimate you." ”

Qingge puffed up his chest, "I have been strategizing since I was a child, and I don't know how to be tactful and affectionate like you, but the twists and turns in the middle of the court may not be able to win me." After a pause, he smiled smugly again, "Didn't the second son already promise to cover me?" Words don't count. After the words fell, he glanced at Xie Fanghua again, meaning something, "If you want to marry my master, you must always do something to the people around her." Otherwise, I'm afraid it's not so easy to marry. ”

Qin Zheng snorted with his nose, as if he was laughing at Qingge's stupidity, "Just like you, you still want to enter the court?" One of those old immortal wrists in the middle of the court can smash you down. ”

Qingge suddenly, "I see! ”

Xie Fanghua smiled and explained to Qingge, "Qingluan is a kind of bird, also called a phoenix. In the sky and on the ground, the wings fly, there is love in the world, and the sky can compare with the wings. Isn't that what we're talking about? ”

choked with a light song, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, accompanied the two of them to walk the street to protect, and was unceremoniously said by him to be an eyesore? He was so angry in his heart that if it wasn't for his master, he wouldn't bother to sort it out.

"It's an eyesore!" Qin Zheng spit out two words.

Qingge was furious when he heard this, "Second Prince Zheng, I didn't offend you. ”

Before Xie Fanghua could answer, Qin Zheng said to her, "This guard beside you is too stupid, don't you?" I'll pick a good one for you another day and put it next to you. ”

"Master, why is that lantern riddle a blue bird?" The light song is incomprehensible.

The old woman picked up the silver ticket, and her anger melted away, and she suddenly squinted and smiled. When Xie Fanghua heard Qin Zheng's words, he only felt that the lantern in his hand was hot. Blushing and glancing at him.

"My son-in-law and young lady have become your old auspicious words!" Qingge left the silver two behind and chased the two away.

The old woman was stunned.

"The old woman misunderstood! The silver I gave you is a thank you gift. Silver bounty on our wedding day. Qin Zheng took the lantern and led Xie Fanghua forward.

The old woman hurriedly pushed back, and at the same time glared angrily, "This young man doesn't believe that my wife is a person who believes in his word?" When I say that I don't take a penny, I mean I don't take a penny. You take two taels of silver, which is an insult to my rules. ”

Qingge nodded, took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed it to the old woman.

Qin Zheng took a pair of lanterns, one in his hand, and the other to Xie Fanghua. At the same time, he said to the light song behind him, "Give this mother-in-law a hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift." ”

The old woman opened it and saw two identical words written on two pages. Name: Qingluan. After she saw it, she smiled kindly at the two of them, "This mystery has been solved by the two of you for ten years." After the words fell, he waved his hand, "You two can take this pair of lanterns!" ”

The two turned their backs and wrote very formally. Then, at the same time, it was handed to the old woman.

The old woman nodded, and handed the pen and paper to the two of them.

"Then let's write it together and see if we can find out." Qin Zheng said to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, bring us a pen." ”

Xie Fanghua also smiled and nodded, "I just don't know, right?" ”

Qin Zheng suddenly smiled, turned his head and asked Xie Fanghua, "Did you guess it?" ”

Qingge stopped when he heard this.

"Young man! The answer to the riddle is in this pair of lanterns, even if the lantern riddle I come out of is not called a puzzle, but it is also my rule. The old woman has been putting lanterns in Pingyang City for decades. Everyone in Pingyang City knows my rules. The question is not the question, it is the question. The old woman said.

Qingge took a step forward, approached the two of them, and also saw the puzzle underneath. This question doesn't look like a puzzle, at a glance, it is very simple, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is all-encompassing, and the answer to the puzzle is really difficult to guess. He said to the old woman, "Are you deliberately making lantern riddles to make it difficult for others to earn silver taels?" It's not called a puzzle. ”

When the two of them saw the puzzle, their faces were full of contemplation.

On Qin Zheng's side there was a word "Heaven and Earth", and on Xie Fanghua's side there was a word "Flying with Wings".

The old woman smiled and nodded, flipped the lantern that Qin Zheng had taken a fancy to, handed one to Qin Zheng and the other to Xie Fanghua, and asked the two of them to look at the puzzle on the ground of the lantern. At the same time, he said, "Fight the same thing." Don't look at each other. If you have the same mind and answer correctly together, even if you pass the test. ”

"Naturally!" Qin Zheng said without hesitation.

"Not a single person can guess! The old woman said that this is the marriage lamp. Two people have to guess. Young man, is this little girl next to you your crush? If so, I can accompany you to guess. If not, you can't guess. The old woman looked at Xie Fanghua.

"That's good! I'll guess the old woman's riddle! Qin Zheng smiled.

"There are no rules, there are no rules. Although the old woman is making a living by weaving lamps, she is also in business. The old woman said.

"What a strange rule!" Qin Zheng smiled.

The old woman shook her head, "I make a living selling lamps, but I have a rule. If you want to guess the puzzle, if you guess correctly, you won't take a penny, if you don't guess correctly, not only will you not be able to take away the lantern, but you will also give me a hundred taels of silver. ”

Qin Zheng was surprised, and suddenly smiled, "The old woman doesn't make a living by selling lamps?" ”

The old woman glanced at the two of them, nodded, and said with a smile, "My lanterns are marriage lanterns, and they come in pairs." Only if you guess the puzzle, you can take it. Don't take a penny! ”

"Not for sale?" Qin Zheng looked at her.

"Young man, my lanterns are not for sale." An old woman shook her head at him lovingly.

Qin Zheng also stopped, and asked an old woman who was setting up a stall, "How many silver taels are these pair of lanterns?" ”

After walking for a while, there were two lanterns of winged birds that were very exquisite, Xie Fanghua saw the novelty and couldn't help but stop.

Xie Fanghua saw that he was selling Guanzi, pursed his lips and didn't ask anymore.

"Secret! Go back and sue you. Qin Zheng said to her mysteriously.

After walking far, Xie Fanghua asked Qin Zheng in a low voice that he didn't understand very well, "Why do you have to buy that pair of hairpins?" Prince Ying's Mansion has always been indispensable for good things. Since it's a defective product, do you want it too? ”

Qin Zheng pulled Xie Fanghua and continued to walk forward.

Qingge rolled his eyes, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, handed them to the old man, and put the hairpin in his pocket.

Qin Zheng glanced back at Qingge, who was following him and Xie Fanghua, and instructed him, "Pay the bill!" ”

After a long time, the old man gritted his teeth, "Here you go!" ”

Xie Fanghua only paid careful attention to this pair of hairpins at this time, and also looked at Qin Zheng with admiration, he didn't think that he even knew this.

Qin Zheng waited for his reply.

The old man's mouth was wide open, and he didn't speak.

Qin Zheng smiled gently at him, "I'll pay a thousand taels, and I'll already be able to double your earnings." Do you give it or not? If I don't give it, I don't think there will be any more people who know the goods. Otherwise, your hairpin would have been bought a long time ago. After a pause, he casually glanced at the hairpins on his stall, "An ordinary pair of hairpins is only ten taels or eight taels of silver." You're already sky-high. ”

After hearing this, the old man looked at Qin Zheng with wide eyes.

Qin Zheng smiled, "The jade quality of this hairpin is not superior, and the workmanship is excellent when placed between ordinary hairpins, because they come from the hands of Mu Huai, the world's most skilled craftsman." Compared with what Mu Huai made in the past, this pair of hairpins is just a defective product made by his subordinates. It is said that he was thrown away casually, and his servant took it out and sold it, and sold it for five hundred taels of silver at that time. ”

"Childe, look at this jade, and then look at this workmanship, this is not comparable to ordinary hairpins! You have a good eye, and you can see it at a glance. You're a knowledgeable person, so be it! The little old man gave you ten taels of profit, and it couldn't be less. The old man said.

"So expensive?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The old man said, "Two thousand taels!" ”

Qin Zheng took it in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and asked casually, "How many silver taels?" ”

"Childe, have you taken a fancy to this pair of hairpins?" An old man was very discerning and handed the pair of Zhu Hai and hairpin to Qin Zheng.

"See!" Xie Fanghua nodded, the jade quality of this pair of vermilion hairpins and hairpins is not the best, but the carving is exquisite. However, such a thing is nothing to the two of them who are used to seeing better things in the Ying Prince's Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion.

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to hold her, stopped, and said to her, "Have you seen that pair of hairpins?" ”

Xie Fanghua glanced at it, ignored it, and walked forward.

After walking a short distance, there are all kinds of hairpins and hairpins in front of a stall, among which there is a pair of hairpins and hairpins that are placed in a group of hairpins, which is the most eye-catching.

Xie Fanghua nodded, and the two continued to walk forward.

"It's just coming into the street, and there are all kinds of lanterns. There's a lot ahead! Qin Zheng said.

Xie Fanghua smiled, "It's just looking at the novelty!" There are even jade lanterns. ”

"Like?" Qin Zheng glanced at her gaze and raised his eyebrows and asked.

Walking in front of a booth of jade lanterns, Xie Fanghua glanced at a lantern twice.

Qin Zheng pulled Xie Fanghua and walked casually on the street. Although both of them are disguised and dressed, the nobility in their natural bones is not something that clothes and disguises can hide. What's more, the two didn't deliberately hide it. Therefore, pedestrians passing by the two of them can't help but take a few more looks.

Although it was already the middle of the night, the streets of Binh Duong City were still brightly lit and bright as day. All kinds of lanterns, colorful. There are still many people playing on the streets, and the flow of people is indeed much less than before, but it is also bustling.
