Chapter 124: Lantern Festival 5
Flowing water falls and flowers go in spring
Good birds have no intention of falling in love with the old forest, eating insects and singing in the wind, eight thousand miles of road casually, partridges fly to the Ten Mile Pavilion
As soon as the swan goes, the bird does not return, the original affection is in the heart, the previous efforts are abandoned, the tears are drooping, and the moon and stars are in the shade of the willows
Don't draw fairy eyebrows, but paint cherry blooms
After going around, the two returned to the original point, Huangfu Jiayi tightened her eyebrows, and unconsciously looked up at Yun Jinghua, wanting to see if she had guessed it.
It's a pity that Yun Jinghua is wearing a hat, and she can't see Yun Jinghua's expression, so she can only turn her mind while nervous, trying to think about what these four pictures are talking about, whether they are separate or related.
Yun Jinghua stared at the picture with the inscription "Don't draw fairy eyebrows, but turn cherries into cherry blooms", outlining a graceful man painting a thrush for a bewitching woman, and a light flashed in his phoenix eyes.
Then she fell back and stood in front of the picture embroidered with peach blossoms flying, and many petals falling to the surface of the stream and going away with the waves, and her eyebrows moved.
She continued to walk, walked through the birds out of the forest, the insects were happy, and finally the birds wandered in the picture of the Ten Mile Pavilion, and then walked through a man leaning against the window and looking, the swans flew away, the moon stars were sparse and the weeping willows fluttered in the painting, and the phoenix eyes exploded.
At the beginning of summer, Luan Feng and Ming, I would like to give you a little lip!
She stood there, a little shocked in her heart, if this is really someone in order to find the person you like to hold a lantern riddle guessing activity, then this rich man behind the scenes has a special mind, maybe it is really a person with deep affection, just to find "her" in a dream and wait here every year.
After a while, the clear light in her phoenix eyes slowly calmed down.
It's a pity that no matter what, the "she" this person is looking for will never be her. She guessed the answer to the riddle, Feng Mingqin would take it, as for the rest, it had nothing to do with her!
Turning around, she came to the scholar who had already held the pamphlet and could write the answer just waiting for her and Huangfu Jiayi to come up with the riddle, and took the booklet and quickly wrote down the answer to the riddle.
The scholar took the booklet and swept it lightly, and after a moment of silence, he looked up and smiled at her. "The girl is so smart."
She ignored these polite words and asked bluntly: "How, but the answer set by your master?" ”
The same puzzle often has different answers, and what she gives is just one of the answers, and then it is just a series of connections, yes and no, all in the words of these people.
"Yes, girl, wait a minute, go and take Feng Mingqin out here."
"Wait!" The scholar was about to turn around, but a cold voice suddenly intervened between the two, and his tone was quite domineering. "You read our answer first!"
Yun Jinghua turned his head and looked at the person who was walking with a straight face, and his phoenix eyes sank. "This son, don't you know that Lu Dao will come first and then come? I'm a long step ahead of you. ”
Gong Mingye calmly met the very cold eyes under the veil, and said righteously: "I only know that the signboard says that everyone can participate, and it does not say that those who arrive late cannot compete with those who arrive first."
Fengmingqin is an ancient famous qin, all those who know the qin, none of them want to take it for themselves, now the world has been hidden for a hundred years and suddenly appeared, how can I miss this opportunity?
If I can't guess these riddles, you have already taken Feng Mingqin, but unfortunately I can guess it, and Feng Mingqin is still there, so I can only fight with the girl. ”
Yun Jinghua's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes stared at the palace night coldly, and after a while, she squeezed out words from between her teeth: "It's hard for the son to be reasonable, even so, this girl will accompany you once!" ”
In addition to being inferior to him in kung fu, she still doesn't believe that she will definitely lose in the competition!
"Thank you, girl." Gong Mingye said it as a matter of course, and handed the booklet in his hand to the side domineeringly.
The scholar saw that the undercurrent between the two of them was turbulent, and he already knew in his heart that there was a festival between the two.
He remembered the above explanation clearly in his heart, and he remembered the purpose of this lantern riddle guessing activity even more, but now that he suddenly killed an arrogant and powerful person, he could only act at the opportunity, after all, the person who did not write on the display card could not compete for Feng Mingqin.
"What this son said is that the rules are clearly written on the signboard, anyone can participate, and there is no limit to how short a time must be used to guess all the lantern riddles, and there is no limit to the first person who must guess a hundred lantern riddles to be eligible to win the Feng Mingqin, so as long as Childe can guess all the lantern riddles correctly, Childe now also has a chance."
He stretched out his hand to take the booklet in Gong Mingye's hand and handed it to the people at the table, asking those people to quickly check the answers, while he stood in the middle of several people to adjust the atmosphere.
"However, one thing must be made clear, because no one has guessed all the riddles in the past few years, so there has never been a similar situation, and the rules of this last level have not been explained."
"The first hundred riddles can be guessed by several people, just like the two sons and the two girls who accompany them, they can be helped by the two sons, but this is the most difficult competition, for the sake of fairness, but it can only be brought forward by the girls who are accompanied by the two sons, and the two sons are not allowed to interfere, I don't know if the two sons can accept it? If they can't accept it, the two sons can give up now, and Feng Mingqin will be owned by this girl. ”
"I accept!" Gong Mingye said immediately, and his eyes immediately fell on the masked Huangfu Shenghua.
Huangfu Shenghua calmly met his gaze, and for a moment, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he replied warmly: "I have no opinion." ”
Mu Jinxiu looked at Yun Jinghua and then at Huangfu Jiayi wearing Chang'e mask, thinking about her name as a talented girl in Beijing, she couldn't help straightening her waist and looking at the two with a smile.
Huangfu Jiayi glanced at her lightly, looked away disdainfully, and continued to guess the riddle.
When she was far away in Daliang, Huangfu Jiayi had heard that Gong Mingye had dissolved the marriage contract with Mu Bangqing for more than ten years, and according to Huangfu Shenghua's spies, Gong Mingye and Mu Jinxiu, the second lady of Mu Mansion, were very close, and Huangfu Jiayi guessed her identity.
What is there to be afraid of a woman who robs even her own sister's man? Even if she is famous as a talented woman in Tiansheng, she, the princess of Daliang, will not take her seriously!
Thinking in her heart, Huangfu Jiayi couldn't help but look at Yun Jinghua, this person is so calm and calm, and she looks indifferent that she will not lose if she is in her chest, she is really a little taboo.
The so-called hiding but not revealing, she thinks it is a person like Yun Jinghua.
A few people here are waiting, and the people who compare the results over there don't dare to slack off in the slightest, and the speed of the check is fast.
After the other people who guessed the lantern riddle received gifts such as brushes and porcelain bowls, they all left the stage contentedly, but they did not leave for the time being, but waited for the battle of several people to be staged.
When the booklet reached the last page and was hurriedly scanned, the person in charge of the comparison couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
It's the first time in years that it's been so busy, and it's the first time three people have guessed all the riddles at the same time.
The scholar's gaze swept to the table, the person over there nodded, the scholar immediately understood, turned his head to look at Mu Jinxiu and said, "Miss can guess the riddle on the lotus lamp." ”
Since Mu Jinxiu can mix the name of a talented girl in Kyoto, she is naturally not useless.
With so many people watching, Fang Cai's 100 questions have already helped her in the palace night, and this is the most embarrassing, she also wants to reveal the answer with her own strength, which is impressive.
She stepped forward and came to Huangfu Jiayi's side, and when Huangfu Jiayi saw her coming, she immediately distanced herself from her, as if she was a poisonous snake and scorpion.
She swept away, only when Huangfu Jiayi walked away after reading it, she didn't pay attention to it, and started to guess the riddle by herself.
These riddles are actually very simple compared to the last part of the first hundred riddles, and after some scrutiny, Huangfu Jiayi also guessed the riddles on the lotus lantern at the back, wrote down the answers and handed them to the scholars.
The scholar nodded at her after reading it. "The girl guessed right, and next, the girl can compete with this girl."
After speaking, the scholar came to the front of the booth and stood still, and said to the people below: "Relatives and friends, today, someone finally guessed the answer to all the riddles, but because there is more than one person who guessed, I need everyone's help now." ”
The scholar stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of a few people, "Later, those young ladies over there will have a talent competition to determine the winner, and you will be the judges, and I hope that you will uphold the principle of fairness to choose the winner and send Feng Mingqin, who has been waiting for the master for several years." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience responded boldly: "It's easy to say." ”
The so-called cannibalistic mouth is soft and people are short-handed, they have already taken many free gifts, not to mention the mouth and hands, even the heart is soft.
The scholar bowed to the audience, "I would like to thank you first." ”
When the scholar returned to Fang Cai's position, Mu Jinxiu had already guessed the answer and came to him with a smile on his face. "The answer is the beginning of summer, Luan Feng and Ming, I would like to pin my lips for Qing?"
The scholar knew that these people were all extraordinary, and he smiled and bowed his head. "Exactly, since the three girls have guessed correctly, then the next three girls will decide for themselves what talents they want to compete, and after the three of them decide the winner, they will serve Feng Mingqin next."
Mu Jinxiu had seen Yun Jinghua's chess skills, so naturally he would not try to play against her.
Gao Gao's gaze swept over, thinking about the various rumors about Bai Mulan that had spread in Beijing half a month ago, and she also shrewdly ruled out the competition.
Although she has heard of Bai Mulan's piano skills, she has not really seen them, and she is very confident in her piano skills that have been praised by everyone, so she chooses to compare piano skills.
"I choose the piano, what do you choose?" She raised her chin and was as proud as a peacock.
Huangfu Jiayi saw that she looked overconfident, and the disdain in her heart was even greater. Raising his lips and smiling, a provocative voice floated out, "In this case, I also choose the piano." ”
The best way to crush her enemies is to defeat her with her vaunted strengths!
The two of them had already chosen the piano, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but sweep to Yun Jinghua, curious about what she would choose.
Xiu Mei, who was hidden behind the veil, raised his eyebrows quietly, the corners of his mouth hooked, and Yun Jinghua spit out a word: "Qin." ”
Since she wants to be fair, then she will use the same talent to suppress these two people! In the past, she would tell everyone in the world everything that Mu Bangqing would do!
Eyes swept over Mu Jinxiu, Yun Jinghua finally smiled faintly, she would let her know what it was like to lose and what it was to be self-conscious, she would tear off all the scenery on her face!
Mu Jinxiu's brows furrowed, and displeasure flashed in her heart. Does this Bai Mulan still think she can beat her? She thinks too highly of herself, right?
Someone brought a chair, and Huangfu Shenghua sat down with a chic robe and looked at a few people with a smile. "You all choose the piano, so which of you will come first? This is not a flattering thing. ”
The melodious voice of the deep and deep mountain stream dingdong stream, and the leisurely posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the people on and off the stage couldn't help but look at him with momentary doubts.
Is he going to watch a good show? Isn't that man his sister? He concluded that his sister would win?
The dark eyes of the palace night narrowed, and deep meaning flashed in the eyes of the masked face.
With a flick of his sleeves, he also sat down on another chair, his gaze gently sweeping over Yun Jinghua and Huangfu Jiayi. "Jinxiu, you come first."
He knows Mu Jinxiu's piano skills, and it is indeed a rare and far-reaching attainment, as for Yun Jinghua's piano skills, he has also heard about her amazing skills in Yunshang Pavilion, but he firmly believes that it cannot surpass the Mu Jinxiu he is familiar with.
Seeing that the palace had already spoken, Mu Jinxiu was even more confident, and said uncomprehensibly: "I'll go first!" I also asked this son to borrow the piano to use. ”
The group came empty-handed, no one brought the qin, this is a competition, naturally they can only borrow the Fengming qin as a gift.
As soon as the scholar waved his hand, someone immediately went down to move the piano stand and stools, and some people successively moved chairs, coffee tables and tea to be placed on the table for a few guests from extraordinary backgrounds to rest.
Yun Jinghua glanced at Mu Jinxiu, sat down elegantly, picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely, regardless of whether others were drinking or not, whether they were also thirsty.
Huangfu Jiayi glanced at her, sat down next to her, and followed her example, picked up the teacup and tasted tea with low eyebrows, leaving behind those who were so proud that they couldn't tolerate anything, and letting her sing and act by herself there.
Everything was arranged, Mu Jinxiu's eyes swept towards Gong Mingye with affection, it seemed that all her thoughts and thousands of words were contained in that glance, and she hoped that Gong Mingye could understand what she meant.
Gong Mingye received her eyes, his face was unwavering, and his heart did not move, and he caught a glimpse of Yun Jinghua, who was drinking tea very freely, and he felt as if he was also thirsty, and picked up the tea made from the inferior tea leaves that he never drunk.
Mu Jinxiu's heart flashed with loss, but she quickly sorted out her mood, and after gently plucking the strings and trying the timbre, her fingertips moved flexibly, and a song of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", which she was very proficient in, flowed out from under her fingertips.
The pure timbre and the deep lingering tune came, and the people in the audience were quiet, feeling comfortable and happy.
Huangfu Shenghua raised her eyebrows, and secretly said in her heart that her piano skills were not bad, her skills were skilled, and she also played out the deep meaning of this song, but it seemed that she was too eager to express the feelings in her heart, and she lost the original meaning of this song.
In a word, it's a little worse, and it's almost impossible to win.
