Chapter 118: Li Shanchang and "Notes on the Book of Water"

Looking at the rows of colorful lanterns in front of her, Xiao Mingyue looked at them excitedly one by one, "Seven fairies marry one and guess an idiom." This is simple, it's 'six gods without masters'!"

Then he looked at the next one and said, "The lonely goose is not flying, guess the bird." Well, it's supposed to be a fowl!"

"If you want to follow Cheng Men Lixue, guess a poem. It's 'learn and learn!'"

…………

The boy who sold the lantern riddles looked at Xiao Mingyue one after another and was about to guess all the lantern riddles, and praised again and again: "The girl is really smart, I'm afraid the lantern riddles here are difficult to stop the girl, if the girl is interested, I have the last one here, it was originally my husband in order to guard against a smart person like the girl, if the girl can guess it, you will be lucky enough to meet my husband!"

"Who is your husband? Is it such a trick, could it be a charlatan?" When Yu Wendi said this, his eyes glanced at Chen Xian.

"Since you're afraid, Mingyue and I will go to see you in a while, you don't have to go!" Chen Xian said to Yu Wendi.

"I'll be afraid? I'm just worried about Mingyue, how can I be missing if I want to go!" Yu Wendi said.

"Some rich boys should stay here safer!"

"Your identity is much more noble than mine, I think it's better for you not to go with me for a while!"

"Don't go!"

"It's you who don't want to go with you!"

The two of you argue like seven or eight-year-old children.

"That's it! Don't be noisy! What are you? I'm not afraid of being known for jokes!" Xiao Mingyue looked at the two of them and said with disgust.

The two men listened, looked at each other, and turned their heads to be silent.

"They're not arguing, let's get the last riddle out!" Xiao Mingyue said to Xiao Tong.

Then, the little boy bent down and took out a golden lantern with three carps painted on it from the big wooden box on the ground, and said to Xiao Mingyue: "Girl, look at it, this is it!"

Xiao Mingyue took it with both hands, and then looked at the lantern that read: Black is not, white is not, red, yellow, blue and purple are not; It is as if it is a fox, a wolf, a cat or a dog, neither a domestic animal nor a beast; Poetry is not, words are not, and the Four Books and Five Classics are not; The east, west, north and south are blurred, although it is a short product, it is also a wonderful article.

Xiao Mingyue read it carefully from beginning to end, and was a little confused for a while, and asked the two people behind her who were like a pair of enemies: "Look at it, can you guess it!"

The two of them passed it on to each other and watched it once, and they were also confused.

"I don't know, it's hard to guess!" Chen Xian shook his head and said.

"I'm the best at guessing! If you count on me, you won't be able to guess until dawn!" Yu Wendi also frowned and said.

Seeing that the two of them really couldn't count on it, Xiao Mingyue chanted again from beginning to end, "Black, white, red, yellow, blue, purple...... Neither? and foxes, wolves, cats and dogs seem to be ......; Not poetry, not the Four Books and Five Classics? "

"What kind of riddle is so hard to guess, I said that your husband should not be funny!" Yu Wendi said to Xiao Tong.

"Guess the lantern riddle, there are easy ones, but there will naturally be difficult ones!" Chen Xian said.

"What do you say? Guess...... Enigma? Xiao Mingyue listened to the words of the two, and suddenly lost her inspiration.

"We didn't say anything!" Yu Wendi said.

"Did you think of something?" Chen Xiandao.

Xiao Mingyue then smiled proudly at Xiao Tong: "I know what the mystery is!" It's the word 'guess the riddle'!"

Xiao Tong listened, smiled and nodded and said to Xiao Mingyue: "The girl is really smart, originally my husband thought that no one guessed tonight's puzzle, so he left me alone." I didn't expect to meet such a wise person as the girl. Come with me, girl!"

The three of them followed the boy together, left the night market, turned left and right, and came to a simple courtyard not far from the market.

"This is it!" Xiao Tong said.

Chen Xian and Yu Wendi had a tacit understanding at this moment, walked to the front of Xiao Mingyue from behind, and said to Xiao Tong: "Continue to lead the way in front!"

Xiao Mingyue looked at the two, "What are you doing here?" "

"There's no guarantee that there won't be any pitfalls here, so let's go ahead!" Chen Xian said.

"yes, it's safer for you to walk behind us!" Yu Wendi said.

Xiao Tong listened, and quickly explained: "I think the two sons must have misunderstood, there is only my husband in this house, not what the two of them think!"

After speaking, he sighed lightly and shook his head to lead the way.

"Master, I'm back, and a girl guessed the last lantern riddle!" Xiao Tong said excitedly as he pushed the door open.

"Ahem, ahem! Come on in!" From inside came a middle-aged man's coughing and hoarse voice.

When several people heard the sound, they saw a man with a vicissitudes of life and a beige coarse cloth shirt, standing in front of a picture and observing.

"Sir, this girl is the one who guessed the lantern riddle!" Xiao Tong said.

The man turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingyue carefully, then at Chen Xian and Yu Wendi, and then said with a smile: "No wonder, no wonder, this girl is a smart person in ice and snow at first glance, and the two sons are also good-looking, but it's a pity that they didn't guess!"

Xiao Mingyue looked at the fact that although this person's room was simple, the table was full of books, and the bookshelves behind him were also full of books, so she knew that this person must be a person who read poetry and books.

"I don't know what Mr. is called? My surname is Xiao, and these two are my friends!" Xiao Mingyue said.

The man followed Xiao Mingyue's words and looked at Yu Wendi and Chen Xian next to him, and said, "My surname is Li, and people call me Li Shanchang!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Li, and I am fortunate to meet him. Mr. lantern riddle out of the ingenious very ingenious!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Li Shanchang listened, smiled and said, "Sit down!" It's only been three years, and the girl is the first to guess. "

After speaking, he asked the boy next to him to pour tea.

Then he said: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, I don't have anything of value here for the girl, and besides, I see that the girl and the two sons are all dressed in fine clothes and are extravagant, so it won't be for treasure hunting if you can come here!"

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said, "I just want to see Mr., as Mingyue thinks, Mr. should be a talented person!"

Li Shanchang laughed twice when he heard this, and then said: "Girl, look at me here, it can be said that I am a disciple of the four walls, if I am really high, I will not fall to this!"

Xiao Mingyue took the tea handed over by Xiao Tong and said, "Maxima didn't know that he was Maxima before he met Bole!"

Li Shanchang listened, was stunned for a moment, and then said with hope in his eyes: "I know that I will never be poor and unappreciated all my life. Although the girl is young, she has a good eye!"

Yu Wendi almost squirted out a mouthful of tea when he heard it, "I said that the surname is Li, you are so good at sycophancy, you should have taken the merit test to become an official earlier!" "

Li Shanchang sighed softly, and then said: "It's not a secret, Li once served as a small official in Yingzhou, but he didn't want to be dismissed and exiled by his superiors for the crime of 'violent and perverse, fierce and cruel' because of his upright personality and lack of attachment to the powerful, for eleven years!" "

"So, do you want us to help you rehabilitate your charges and continue to be an official?" Yu Wendi asked.

Li Shanchang shook his head and said, "Li Mou once swore a poisonous oath before his ancestor ranked, and he is no longer an official in this life!"

"And how do you want us to help you?" Chen Xian said.

Li Shanchang listened and hurriedly walked to the dilapidated table, found a few crumpled manuscripts from a pair of messy manuscripts, brought them to the three of them, and said: "This is the terrain, mountains, rivers, customs, myths, flowers and trees, etc., which Li has experienced in the past few years by selling his ancestral property, painting and writing for people to travel around in his spare time, please take a look!"

Xiao Mingyue, Chen Xian, and Yu Wendi each held a copy and looked at it.

Yu Wendi flipped through a few pages, and then said: "It turns out that you are a book writer, but what you write makes people feel very bored to read. Let me tell you, if you want to make money, you can't write this, you should write some books like "Hou Han Shu Art and Literature Chronicles" and "Rong Cheng **", and I will keep you making money every day!"

Li Shanchang frowned and said: "Childe, don't make fun of Li, that kind of indiscriminate, unsightly book Li will never write!"

Yu Wendi let out a long sigh and said, "Hey! It's a pity, it's a pity! It's a pity to see how well you picture and draw in the book!"

When he turned his head, he saw Xiao Mingyue and Chen Xian stunned, looking at him with strange looks in their eyes, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't think nonsense!" In fact...... Haven't you ever eaten pork and seen a pig run? "

"Yuwen Gongzi is really well-read and well-informed!" Chen Xian said.

Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Li Shanchang: "Do you want us to help you promote these books of yours?" "

Li Shanchang listened, as if he had been in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw the sun, "The girl is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she must know that the words recorded in Li's book are quite beneficial to Jiangshan Sheji, but Li has always been poor, his body is not enough, and he has a square eye on the whole world, and the place he goes to is just a small place, and the content recorded and depicted is also limited. Li's greatest wish in his life is to be able to travel the world and write this "Water Classic Note" thoroughly!"

Xiao Mingyue thought for a moment, and then said, "So, Mr. Li hopes that we will fund you to visit the world so that this book can be completed?!"

Li Shanchang nodded and said: "The girl Bingxue is smart, Li is bold, please ask the girl for help!"

"You're doing a good job! Take the money to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and write your own book casually! But you can wait for Bole, the three of us, the last thing we lack is silver!" Yu Wendi said with a smile.

"That's the two of you, and I only have my own money every month!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Then he looked at Li Shanchang and smiled: "Your wish is handed over to me!" I'll give you the money, but I'll only give you three years, and after three years, I want a complete and detailed copy of the "Water Scripture Note"!"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he almost knelt down excitedly, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, girl!" The girl's kindness, Li is grateful!"
