Chapter 523: The Gentleman's Banquet of Hibiscus (16)

When he first heard about Xue Rui's marriage, Yu Shu was in no mood to hold grudges for the time being, so he sent away Rui Zizhu, a little peach blossom, with two sentences, and walked on the bridge with his heart in mind.

At this time, there were people standing everywhere on the corridor, Xin Liu and the others grabbed a good position with an excellent view, and when they saw Yu Shu, they beckoned her to come over.

The lanterns on the lake were not as bright as at the beginning, but the figures on the lake were still clearly illuminated, and there were about a dozen rafts floating sideways on the water.

If you look closely, some of the rafts are empty, and in the distant lake, there seem to be a few unlucky people who have fallen into the water, swimming to the shore.

The first thing Yu Shu saw was not Xue Rui, but Jing Chen, who was dressed in white and swept by the water.

Seeing the man holding the raft waving a pole to stop him, he was dodged by his dashing dodge, which caused a group of girls on the bridge to scream, and then they chattered, and now there were a few more admirers.

Yu Shu's gaze paused on the white shadow for a moment, then moved away, and then found Xue Rui and the others.

I almost didn't laugh out loud.

On this lake, everyone else is working hard to hold a pole and paddle the water, stop and walk and bend down to pick up the lanterns to check, he is good, find a coolie to paddle in front, he sits leisurely on his knees behind the water-green raft, there are seven or eight inspected lanterns parked beside him, and one hand also holds a lamp that has just been fished out of the water.

The beautiful and wandering look doesn't look like he's here to grab something, but like a gentleman who has come to swim in the lake.

"Look, Cousin Xue is there." Xin Liu pointed in the direction of Xue Rui and pulled Yu Shu's sleeve.

"Hmm. I see it. ”

Just when the female guests were performing their skills, the men on the lake also went through a competition, more than 30 male guests, those who fell into the water and retreated, all gave up, and there are only seven or eight people who are still looking for the red gold wick.

"Lianfang, who do you think will find that lamp first?" Situ Qinglan suddenly turned her head and asked Yu Shu.

"Brother Xue." Yu Shu said without thinking.

Clinker she is in the limelight tonight, and the girls next to her are always paying attention to her and listening to her so determined. Someone timidly asked:

"Is the rest of the operator out of it?"

Yu Shu turned his head and glanced at the little girl who was talking. He smiled and shook his head: "I guess." ”

"Then I hope you guessed correctly, otherwise Xue Rui will be a villain tonight."

A cool word floated into Yu Shu's ears, and several women turned around. I saw a Xuanyi. Liu Yi with a golden forehead in the head cage. Standing just a few steps away from them, a pair of slightly cloudy eyes stared directly at Yu Shu.

The man also came out of nowhere, and saw that his clothes were clean. At first glance, it looks like it has never been in the water.

"Eleventh Prince."

The women hurriedly saluted, and Yu Shu also bowed hastily, trying to ignore Liu Yi's uncomfortable eyes.

But she wanted to ignore Liu Yi, but Liu Yi didn't want to ignore her, stared at Yu Shu loudly for a while, and suddenly smiled:

"You've cleaned up, but you're still a little bit good."

Yu Shu frowned, listening to this kid's words, he was obviously teasing her.

Yu Shu heard it right, Liu Yi was teasing her, as early as during the Shuangyang Meeting, when he broke into the guest room and tried to defile her, he had crooked thoughts about her.

Later, he learned from Ji Xingxuan that Yu Shu did not have a Daomen immortal master as a background, so he was more annoyed, so he deliberately found a trick that looked like Yu Shu, and he was tired of playing, so he rested for a while.

Seeing Yu Shu's unusual cold appearance tonight, evil thoughts rose again, and he didn't stay outside the water pavilion to watch the excitement, and missed a wonderful show, but he didn't know that Yu Shu won the golden jade hibiscus with "Death Breaking Thaumaturgy".

Otherwise, no matter how itchy his heart is at this time, he will have to restrain a little.

Liu Yi teased Yu Shu, and when he saw that she didn't answer with a cold face, he was a little displeased, took a step forward, walked to Yu Shu's side, looked at the lake and said:

"This group of people searched for half a night and didn't find anything, it's really useless."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yu Shu, but still ignored him.

Liu Yi stared at her slender figure, rolled his eyes, and said: "I see that you are very confident in your eldest brother, so do you want to make a bet with Xiao Wang, if Xue Rui doesn't find that lamp after the last, Xiao Wang wants something on you, if Xue Rui finds that lamp, you can ask Xiao Wang." ”

Yu Shu didn't want to deal with Liu Yi, but when he saw him come up shamelessly, his heart was itching, and he wanted to clean up this dog beast wearing the prince's vest.

So his eyes flashed, and he said: "I can't afford the things on His Highness, it's better to change it, if my eldest brother finds the hibiscus lantern with a real gold wick after the last, you will listen to my orders, how about it?" ”

Liu Yi hesitated, he still remembered being beaten by Yu Shu at the Shuangyang Meeting, but he was afraid that she would deliberately make things difficult.

"If you're afraid of losing, forget it."

Liu Yi loves face alone, how can he admit that he is afraid, so he said stiffly: "What am I afraid of, but you, don't regret it later." ”

Hmph, if she wins, let her take off the belly pocket she wears to him!

Liu Yi's eyes flashed with obscenity, and he stretched out his hand to Yu Shu and said, "Come, you and I will high-five." ”

Yu Shu smiled and said, "No need, so many people testify, I don't think His Highness will be able to speak." ”

"Xiao Wang is full of words." Liu Yi put down his hand stupidly.

When everyone saw the agreement between the two, they all quietly discussed.

Xin Liu leaned into Yu Shu's ear and whispered, "Are you really sure that Cousin Xue can grab it?" I see that the eleventh prince is uneasy and kind, and he will definitely embarrass you later. ”

Yu Shu patted her brain, "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Staring fixedly at the figure sitting on the bamboo raft on the lake, she didn't know where she got her confidence, but she was very sure that the other golden jade hibiscus tonight would definitely be his!

"Lord Xue, did you find it?"

Xue Rui put a lantern back in his hand, heard the call behind him, and turned his head to see Zhu Qingjue rowing from the pole. Shaking his head, he scooped up another lantern and looked at it.

Zhu Qingjue glanced at the scattered lanterns around him. The fox said suspiciously: "What are you doing with so many lamps?" ”

Xue Rui smiled and said, "Wait until I bring it to the shore for my sister, my daughter's family likes such delicate things." ”

Zhu Qingjue snorted and said, "Lord Xue really pities the person who cherishes the jade, and he is worthy of the name of romance." ”

Xue Rui glanced at him thoughtfully, then put his attention back on the lantern in his hand, first looked at the ordinary wick covered with oiled paper, and then reached to the base of the lantern with his hand, groping without a trace.

Zhu Qingjue propped up the bamboo pole and rowed to the other side, missing the flash of joy on Xue Rui's face.

When he was far away, Xue Rui turned over the lantern in his hand. It's on that round pedestal. I can vaguely see a shallow font, which is embroidered with needles and threads, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't distinguish it.

6,000 lanterns on the lake. Not every one of them is embroidered with words. Not every embroidered word is the same. Xue Guifei set up a set to attract people's attention with a limited number of rafts, allowing them to focus on finding the real gold wick. But ignore the ordinary lanterns.

Only Xue Rui was as careful as a hair, and he figured out Xue Guifei's mind from the beginning, he was not fooled, and like everyone else, he mistakenly regarded this intellectual competition as a competition of luck.

"Deep." Xue Rui read the words above softly, swept to the eleven lanterns placed beside him, and took them to his eyes one by one, piecing them together.

Fixed, wave, seeking, seeing, and, difficult, finding, true, heart, stepping, deep.

"It's hard to find all over the fixed waves, but it's true and deepest."

It is difficult to find all over the fixed wave, and it is sincere and deepest!

Twelve words seem to point out the direction where the lamp is hidden.

Xue Rui's eyes lit up suddenly, he put down the lantern in his hand, stood up from the bamboo raft, looked around, and soon found the place he was looking for.

"Brother, go over there." He pointed to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake seven or eight feet away, and said to the unlucky young man who was his coolie.

The man gestured resignedly in the direction of his finger.

As soon as Xue Rui moved, many people noticed that not only the lake was floating, but also the bridge was lively.

Yu Shu saw that Xue Rui suddenly stood up, and the raft under his feet went quickly in one direction, regardless of the scattered lanterns on both sides, and asked in his heart:

Where is he going?

Zhu Qingjue turned his head and saw Xue Rui's action, and without saying a word, he turned the direction of the raft and chased after him.

The other people who were wandering around the lake, seeing them running one after the other, also sensed that something was wrong, and cleverly followed behind.

After a while, the four or five people who were still on the lake were hanging behind Xue Rui.

Jingchen saw that everyone was going over there, and hesitated to follow him to have a look, and at this moment, Xue Rui's raft stopped at the side of the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Xue Rui stood on the raft and looked around, strange to say, there was not a single lantern in the distance around this pavilion.

"It's hard to find all over the fixed waves, but it's true and deepest." He silently recited the twelve words again, slowly lowered his head, and looked at the dark and bottomless lake at his feet.

Dingbo Lake, ten zhang deep.

His water-based, average.

After a while, Zhu Qingjue caught up, stopped next to Xue Rui, and looked around and didn't see anything special, but Xue Rui stared at the lake, so he teased:

"What is Lord Xue doing here, didn't the lantern fall into the lake?"

Who knew that Xue Rui raised his head, glanced at him with a smile, and said, "It turns out that you also have brains." ”

“”

"I said, that lantern is hidden under this pavilion, do you believe it?"

"Under the lake? Are you kidding?

"You have a brain, but you're still a little less guts."

Xue Rui shook his head at Zhu Qingjue, showing a look of pity, and then regardless of his eyes, he arched his hand to the young man who had been helping him with the pole: "Brother Tai, I will take care of you the most." ”

"W-What?"

"You count two hundred, and you don't see me come up, so call someone to save me."

Dropping a sentence, Xue Rui threw down the fan in his hand, tied up the hem of his clothes, and plunged into the water with a fierce man forward!

"Poof!"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Qingjue was stunned, the people who followed behind were also stunned, and the people watching the excitement on the bridge were all stunned.

Yu Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned out against the fence. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
