Zhu Youzhen saw that Xu Ming'er's momentum was so fierce at this time, and he thought to himself, I feel that this Miss Xu is very demure and gentle on weekdays, why is the contrast so big now?

Seeing that he was really confused, Zhu Youzhen had to say vaguely: "If you want to say that the rhythm of poetry and music is the same, the level below is really commonplace, compared with Miss Xu, it is even more heaven and earth, not to mention advice, as for the first few times Miss Xu is far away, there are indeed some things delayed, and I hope Miss Xu will not be surprised, if you don't believe it, you can ask our family if this is the case?" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen pulled Jinxiu between him and Xu Ming'er to separate the two.

The young man guarding the door of the lantern eaves corridor seemed to be a little nervous when he saw that Miss Xu and the boy who answered the question, although he was waiting for the boy to answer the question, but he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything at all.

However, Luo Yangxing on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled the splendid embroidery between the two of them aside, and said: "The performance of this big theater is about to start, it seems that the fifth brother has no time to answer the question, I think Xiu'er is the same if you come to answer the question." ”

The shield in front of him was pulled away, Zhu Youzhen glared at Luo Yangxing dissatisfied, and then had to look at Xu Ming'er and said: "Since Miss Xu is so studious, then I won't hide my secrets, Miss Xu has anything to ask me for, just say it, and you should know everything and say everything." ”

Xu Ming'er invited Zhu Youzhen to come to the house, the poetry and rhythm are just an excuse, it is true to find a reason to speak, which Cheng wants to be asked by Zhu Youzhen in this court, which makes Xu Ming'er stunned for a while, and she doesn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Youzhen is a human being in two lifetimes, so he naturally knows Xu Ming'er's thoughts, but he believes that Xu Ming'er can't say it at this time, so he is so direct.

Just when Xu Ming'er was stunned, Jinxiu over there had already taken another note and started answering the question, only to hear Jinxiu's exclamation of "ah", it was actually another poetry question.

Jinxiu whispered: "Write a poem with the theme of spring flowers." After reading, she looked at Luo Yangxing with some help, this poem is really not very good for her, and her own son is busy dealing with Miss Xu, she can only ask Luo Yangxing for help.

Luo Yangxing said helplessly: "What do you think I do?" Do you think I look like a poet? ”

Jinxiu said: "What should I do then?" Just give up? ”

"I remember that day in the garden, the fifth brother not only made you a poem, but also a poem about flowers and grass?"

As soon as Luo Yang's reminder was given, Jinxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he read to the young man guarding the door: "Walk down the court steps by the water, and Liu Wu will lead the wind and believe in the hand." Fold a rhododendron, and the hosta is horizontally splendid hairpin. We've got it again. ”

Xu Ming'er looked at Zhu Youzhen, although she didn't pay attention to Jinxiu's answer, but she also listened to the poem of Jinxiu's chant really, and happened to be asked by Zhu Youzhen without an idea, after hearing this poem, Xu Ming'er had a statement, she raised her head and looked at Zhu Youzhen and said: "Is this poem also written by Brother Zhu and Sister Jinxiu?" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't twist either, and generously admitted: "That's right, I did it for our family Xiu'er." ”

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's mouthful of "our show", Xu Ming'er said with a taste in her heart: "Brother Zhu is famous as a poem, and he is very elegant and romantic. Since Brother Zhu thinks that it is appropriate to teach Ming'er here, Ming'er borrowed Brother Zhu's poem to ask shamelessly in front of everyone. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that this Xu Ming'er would really ask him for advice in public, but the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to regret it, so he could only stubbornly say: "Miss Xu, please!" ”

Xu Ming'er will be splendid and chant that

One sentence in the poem was taken out separately and read again: "Fold a rhododendron, what is the allusion to this poem?" ”

As soon as everyone heard that Xu Ming'er had really fought against Zhu Youzhen, they all gathered around, and even Jinxiu, who answered the poem question, didn't care about the young man guarding the door, and hurriedly walked over here.

Xu Erjue pulled Xu Ming'er's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, what are you doing?" Why should you be embarrassed by Brother Zhu? ”

Xu Ming'er shook off Xu Erjue's hand and said aggressively to Zhu Youzhen: "Please also ask Brother Zhu to teach." ”

Jinxiu saw that Xu Ming'er was going to take the school entrance examination for her own son-in-law, and her son-in-law obviously did not offend her, but she was embarrassed by her son-in-law again and again. Originally, she was quite sympathetic to Xu Ming'er, but Jinxiu was also a little annoyed by this repeatedly, so she said to Xu Ming'er: "Miss Xu's question is fresh, just picked a rhododendron casually, what is the allusion not allusion?" Jinxiu once said when listening to the master's lecture in the temple, there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, illness, death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, can't ask for, can't let go, I think Miss Xu should go to listen to the master's lecture, when to understand what is not wanted, what is not to let go, that is probably not to come to find my son-in-law trouble. ”

Jinxiu's "Miss Xu" for a while, and "Sister Ming'er" for a while, provoked Xu Ming'er to feel that she was negligent, near and far, cold and hot, at this time she seemed to be the target of everyone, and everyone felt that she was making trouble unreasonably, especially Jinxiu's ridicule of "can't ask for it, can't let it go", which made her feel resentful because she couldn't ask for it.

It's just that Xu Ming'er at this time is like being fascinated, no matter what others say about her or how they look at her, she is not moved at all, and still says persistently: "Please also ask Brother Zhu for advice." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Xu Ming'er, and didn't understand why such a young girl was so persistent, at this time he could no longer avoid it, so he said: "Since Miss Xu wants to know, I will tell you the allusion to this azalea." Legend has it that there is an emperor named Du Yu in the ancient Shu country, this Du Yu and his queen are very affectionate, and then the ancient Shu country had a flood, Du Yu sent the prime minister Wushan to control the water, Wushan cured the flood and relied on the water control merit to seize the throne of the emperor Du Yu with treacherous schemes, and occupied the queen, and also Du Yu drove into the West Mountain, Du Yu missed the queen in the West Mountain, and soon died miserably due to illness, his soul after death turned into a cuckoo bird, flew into the queen's garden every day crying and wailing, The blood of the cuckoo bird stained the beautiful flowers in the Queen's Garden red, so people called him the azalea, which is the allusion to the cuckoo's blood. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen glanced at Xu Ming'er, who was a little confused, and continued: "Since Miss Xu is so eager to learn, I might as well give Miss Xu another allusion." Since Du Yu turned into a cuckoo bird and cried red rhododendrons all over the garden, the queen heard the cuckoo bird crying in the garden every day, and then saw the red blood, she understood that this cuckoo bird was her husband Du Yu incarnated, under the sadness, the queen called day and night 'Zi Gui, Zi Gui', because she couldn't ask for it, the queen also died depressed, after her death her soul turned into a fiery red rhododendron blooming all over the mountains, day and night with the cuckoo bird to live together, so this rhododendron is also called Yingshan Hong, and the previous allusion is the cuckoo crying blood, The allusion to the wailing of the son. ”

Xu Ming'er listened to Zhu Youzhen's first allusion to the cuckoo's blood, and thought it was Zhu Youzhen's fabrication, according to Xu Ming'er's heard, Du Yu's cry after turning into a cuckoo bird was "the people's noble, the people's noble", in order to remind the prime minister that the turtle spirit is precious to the people.

But after listening to Zhu Youzhen's allusion to Zigui's mourning, Xu Ming'er felt that she was probably lonely and unheard, the cuckoo cried blood, Zigui wailed, what a poignant love story

Things, is there really such an emotion in the world that stays with each other and never leaves?

Xu Ming'er saluted Zhu Youzhen, and then said: "Brother Zhu is very knowledgeable, Ming'er admires him so much, and he has been taught today." After speaking, she looked at Jinxiu with envy in her eyes and smiled knowingly: "Sister Jinxiu, Ming'er understands, does my sister understand?" A good sentence 'fold a rhododendron flower, hosta horizontal splendid hairpin.' Brother Zhu has a heart. ”

Xu Ming'er was originally an indisputable character, even if she encountered something she liked, she didn't want to keep it for herself, but why was she completely confused when she met this person, just to see that he was better to others, he had to be jealous, let alone indisputable.

Just now Xu Ming'er saw a little after listening to the allusions of the cuckoo's cry of blood and the mourning of Zigui, and at this time she was sincerely happy for Jinxiu.

After talking to Jinxiu, Xu Ming'er turned to Xu Erjue and said, "The performance in the big theater is about to start, haven't you been clamoring to see it?" Let's go in now. After speaking, Xu Ming'er walked straight into the lantern eaves corridor and no longer paid attention to the things outside the door.

When Xu Ming'er entered the lantern eaves corridor, Jinxiu was still there in a daze, listening to the poignant story of Zhu Youzhen's cuckoo crying blood and Zigui's mourning, coupled with Xu Ming'er's reminder, Jinxiu suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Zhu Youzhen saw Jinxiu there in a daze, pressed her head with his hand, and said, "What do you want?" ”

Jinxiu suddenly came back to her senses and stammered: "No, no, I didn't think about anything." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't notice the change in Jinxiu, and he said to the young man guarding the door: "Continue to answer the question." ”

After watching the play for a long time on the side, the young man who guarded the door listened to the story and listened to the aftertaste, and at this time, when he saw Zhu Youzhen greeting, he hurriedly took a note and handed it to Zhu Youzhen.

At this time, there is not much time left for the performance in the big theater, Zhu Youzhen doesn't care, he hasn't seen any kind of performance in his previous life, but this time he brought so many people out to visit the temple fair, and finally delayed here, even if others don't say it, he will not be able to get over it in his heart.

Zhu Youzhen didn't look at them one by one at this time, and simply opened all five slips of paper, with three guessing puzzles and two couplet questions.

Zhu Youzhen quickly handed the five notes to the young man in turn: "The first one, guess the puzzle 'don't stop until you understand it (guess an animal)' - I know; The second one, guess the puzzle, 'There is a short general with a knife on his body, hair on the outside of the scabbard, and a baby hidden inside. (Guess a plant)' – soybean; The third, 'The Man in the Mirror (Guess a Word)' - In; The fourth, the wind sends the bell to the flowers, and it is loud and fragrant. The fifth, the upper couplet, "Behind the back, the blind girl village Weng talks nonsense", and I say to the lower couplet, "The eyes are lively, and the talented man of Xie Yuan has a few pennies". The five questions came out in a blink of an eye, and the young man didn't have time to answer them, so he only heard Zhu Youzhen say again: "Hurry up and get it again." ”

After some twists and turns before, the young man who guarded the door was listening to poems and stories on the side, he had already seen the power of this son, although at this time he also felt that this son's answer would not be wrong, but out of responsibility, he still had to do it again, so he said to Zhu You a little apologetically: "Childe later, when I find out the answers to these questions, I will take the question for Childe." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Wait for you to be right one by one, the performances over there should be over, you are right, we will take the question by ourselves." ”

The young man thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's going to be troublesome." ”

Zhu Youzhen instructed Gao Sheng to take twenty slips of paper in a row, plus the eight questions he had answered before, which was enough for a group of them to enter.
