Volume 1: The Storm Chapter 11: The Flower Market Lights Like Day
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the winter is expected to be cold, the street is full of people, and the crowd that follows stretches from the Dongzhi Gate to the four corridors, which is dozens of miles long. The capital of the Son of Heaven is naturally different from other places. Each shop has a different kind of famous lamps, which are exquisite, and the fire trees and silver flowers bloom in an instant, and they are constantly in front of the street.
In the Qing Dynasty, Tongnian Jin admired the lanterns along the street, there were already dense women on the bank of the Dongcheng River, each carrying the river lantern into the water, and the flowers and greenery on the night market and the water pavilion of the distant buildings reflected each other.
Qing Shi sat on the east bank, looking at the river lanterns flowing to the other bank, and couldn't help but put his hands together and made a wish: "May after the Yuan Dynasty, Gilgilli and everything will be good." Nian Jin was stunned on the side, and when he heard Qing Shi's words, he asked, "What is Gege talking about?" โ
Qing Shiyang smiled and quipped: "I said, I hope that the sky will open his eyes and give Nian Jin a good family as soon as possible." โ
"Gege is making fun of me again!" Nian Jin couldn't help but be angry, and whispered in Qing Shi's ear for a moment, "Where is Nian Jin's lifelong event important." โ
"You girl, you dare to laugh at me!" Qing Shi's face flushed, and he wanted to hit Nian Jin, Nian Jin caught Qing Shi's hand, and the two frolicked together.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs, and the sound of shouting came from the bridge, Nian Jin was curious to probe his head, but found nothing, noticed that Qing Shi was in a good mood, and asked tentatively: "Gege, it seems to be very lively over there." Let's take a look? โ
Qing Shi nodded, and walked to the bridge with Nian Jin. At this time, there were twice as many people on the streets of Dongcheng as before, Nian Jin grabbed Qing Shi's hand and squeezed into the crowd, wanting to see what was going on inside, and when a neat row of lanterns came into view, Nian Jin walked back with a little disappointment.
"All the passing guest officers have come to see, but where to hit the lantern riddle have a bonus (1) gift, if you hit more than ten, you can come to the little old man here to get three more riddles, if the three riddles can be two lanes, the little old man will take a time to make a marquee gift. Isn't Shangyuan Festival just a celebration? The stall owner pointed to the lamp hanging high above.
Looking in the direction he pointed, it was an agarwood carved horse lamp, with a hundred willow patterns on the six prisms, and the posture of the brocade cloth sergeant Yong riding a horse was lifelike, just like the reflection of the fish looming, and the shadow rode vertically and horizontally. The onlookers were amazed by the old man's superb skills, and even the craftsmen in the palace may not have such ability.
Qing Shi grabbed Nianjin: "Look how beautiful that lamp is." Let's go play a few too, shall we? Nian Jin had no choice but to enter with the Qing Dynasty, everyone was energetic for the agarwood carving lantern, and the Qing Dynasty seemed to have a speculative and literal groaning search, and there were also scratching ears and cheeks without a clue, and the scene of crowding was extremely lively.
After a while, Qing Shi hit ten lantern riddles one after another, and the stall owner took the bonus and handed it to her: "Girl Huihuang, little old man admires." โ
Qing Shi smiled and did not speak, and the paper was finished in due time, and the ten people who hit the last three questions were waiting for the last three questions, and the stall owner took out the puzzle written in red paper and black letters from the box, opened it and read: "Everyone, listen well: 'The bird falls on the mountain and does not see its feet, and there is water everywhere and there is nowhere to find it.'" 'Type. โ
"The riddle is an island word." It was the man wearing a crab green armor standing next to Qing Shi who hit him, and everyone cheered in unison. The stall owner smiled and nodded: "Childe answered exactly, everyone listen to the second question." โ
"The dry word is nineteen, only there is no coincidence; The second big kun is like a double stay. Typing. โ
The man looked at the mystery and turned sideways to the crowd and said, "This mystery is a bit strange. Qing Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be the word "soil"? The stall owner said, "Exactly." The man couldn't help but look at Qing Shi, and everyone also looked at Qing Shi, who had never seen such a scene, and his cheeks were a little red.
The stall owner took down the third question and read it eloquently: "The light peach blossom flows by water, and the name of the medicine of the two things is played." โ
But then, the man laughed heartily. The crowd was at a loss, and Qing Shi asked curiously: "I only know that this mystery should be incense, presumably Gongzi knows the mystery?" โ
The man ignored Qing Shi's question, and said to himself: "The girl knows: 'The crushing flower Ruyi pillow crown is light, and the phoenix shoe bow is called Wan Ting. What does that mean? It's just right to describe the girl at the moment. โ
"You ......" Qing Shi listened to his scoundrel words, his originally crimson face deepened, and he pulled Nian Jin with a blank face and walked out, "Let's go, don't want this lamp." โ
Although Qing Shi left, he repeatedly recited his sixteen words all the way, grinding flowers Ruyi, Ruyi flowers, flowers flowing by water, isn't it? Qing Shi suddenly felt that he had the wrong meaning, and said with annoyance: "I really shouldn't go, the good lantern will be gone." โ
Nian Jin said angrily: "Why shouldn't you go, Gege, you see that person is a scoundrel, he just wants to belittle you." โ
Qing Shi turned around Dongcheng Street, just happened to bump into the person just now, the man was holding the marquee in his hand, Qing Shi turned his head to leave, the man hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I was presumptuous just now, and I was going to return this to the girl." โ
Nian Jin stopped him and said, "What do you want to pay back, Deng's disciple." Qing Shi was puzzled and asked: "I didn't hit the two questions, how can I pay it back?" โ
"The stall owner said that he would get two questions, and the girl had already answered the two questions, so it would naturally belong to the girl." The man said that, bowed down and handed it to Qing Shi. Seeing that Qing Shi was indifferent, the man said, "In the next courteous greetings, the girl should not make it difficult for me." โ
Qing Shi took the lantern, and the man smiled: "In the lower Song Yanzhi, I saw that the girl had a talent for singing, and I wanted to ask the girl for advice." โ
Song Yanzhi recited it silently in his heart in the Qing Dynasty, and pretended to be calm and said: "I have been taught by the Four Books of Women, I have heard all kinds of literati things, and I see that the son is also a gentleman, how can I say such frivolous words?" โ
Song Yanzhi played with the taste: "The girl is famous, how dare she be abrupt." It's just ......" looked at Qing Shi and continued, "Jiaci once heard that the abbot of Ci'en Temple was broken: Shangyuan met a beautiful woman, and promoted marriage." I am fortunate to meet a girl today, isn't it what the abbot said? And I don't know that in the bushes now, it is either a rotten Confucian, or a prodigal son, not boasting about Haikou, if the girl wants to find a lover, who else will I be? โกโ
"Isn't Childe a talented and beautiful man, can he be true with such a joke? I only thought that my son was light, but I didn't want to be so brazen. Qing Shi heard this, returned the marquee to him, and hurriedly turned his head and left.
Song Yanzhi was shameless, and stepped forward to ask, "I don't know the girl's surname?" โ
Just when Long Keduo happened to bump into this scene when he passed through Dongshi, he couldn't help but say that he stepped forward with two punches, kicking Song Yanzhi to the ground.
"Who are you, and why do you beat people for no reason?" Song Yanzhi covered his face and said in pain. Long Keduo glared at him and said, "You don't care who I am, I'm teaching Dengzi a lesson, not for no reason." After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, and Qing Shi stepped forward to stop, "Third brother, leave him alone, let's go." โ
Long Keduo scolded him: "Don't let me bump into you in the future, otherwise you will look good." After that, Long Keduo took away the marquee on the side before stopping.
