As soon as it was past noon, a urging voice came from time to time outside Xu Ming'er's boudoir in Xu Mansion, "Sister, are you okay?" Is it really that long to just change your clothes and dress up? If we delay like this, it will be dark. ”

This is the first time Xu Erjue has said outside the door that he doesn't know how many times, and finally not long after this urging, the door of Xu Ming'er's boudoir opened from the inside.

Xu Erjue looked at Xu Ming'er who walked out of the room, and couldn't help but praise: "Sister, it's so beautiful today." ”

Although she was her own brother at that time, Xu Ming'er was still happy when she heard someone praise her, but she was shy for a while, and then said dissatisfiedly to Xu Erjue: "I let me wait outside for a while, can you use half an hour to urge me once?" ”

Xu Erjue said aggrievedly: "Sister, people are called the first talented woman in Songjiang, but as a talented woman, do you really not know what a moment is?" ”

Xu Ming'er knew that she was at a loss, and whispered to Xu Erjue: "This is the first time I have gone to the temple fair, so naturally I have to dress up carefully, my sister is dressed up beautifully, doesn't this younger brother also have face?" ”

"Okay sister, let's go quickly, I heard that there are lion dancers and stilt walkers over there." , Xu Erjue pulled Xu Ming'er and left.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Xu Ming'er and Xu Erjue came all the way to the temple fair in Dongding, and got off in front of Niangniang Temple, although today is the last day of the temple fair, but they are not there yet, the temple fair is not a lot of people, usually the temple fair is the most lively time in the evening, and those performances to reward the gods are also after the unitary time before starting.

Seeing this situation, Xu Ming'er couldn't help but be a little disappointed in the temple fair of this Niangniang Temple, and she complained to Xu Erjue: "Erjue, keep urging, there is no one here now." ”

Xu Erjue said: "Sister, I heard that the temple fair here is the largest temple fair in the capital, and now there are fewer people, let's go around first, and then go to see the performance later." I heard that the Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple here is very effective, many people come here from all over the world to burn incense and pray for blessings, why don't we go to the temple to worship first. ”

Xu Ming'er nodded, and the two went to the square in front of the temple, looking at the strange incense and candle shops, Xu Ming'er and the others didn't know which kind of incense to buy to pray in the temple.

After asking all the incense and candle shops one by one, Xu Erjue was embarrassed, he really didn't want anything at his age, so Xu Erjue didn't care what kind of incense these shops were selling, and casually walked to a shop and bought one.

Xu Ming'er quietly walked to a shop, bought a handful of incense, and then secretly hid it as if she had done something bad.

When Xu Ming'er bought the incense candle and came out, Xu Erjue also walked over with the incense candle and said, "Sister, let's go in." ”

After passing the magnificent temple gate, the two worshipped in each hall one by one, and even the Wang Lingguan Palace, which guarded the mountain gate, did not fall.

In front of the main hall, a huge square tripod stands in front of the temple door, and there is a fire candle burning on the side of the square tripod for people to burn incense.

When Xu Erjue took out the incense and was about to get close to the candle to light the incense, Xu Ming'er noticed that the pattern on the incense in his hand was actually a picture of sending a child.

Xu Ming'er couldn't help but tease: "Is it appropriate for Er Jue to ask for a son at such a young age?" ”

Xu Erjue only then noticed a few white and chubby dolls painted on the pattern, and couldn't help blushing and said: "I, I, I just didn't notice and chose a random one, my daughter-in-law didn't marry anything, I came to the ball to be safe." As he spoke, Xu Erjue inserted the lit incense into Fang Ding, and then folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the hall: "Don't blame Niangniang, I don't ask for children, I just ask for the safety of my family, don't blame Niangniang, don't blame Niangniang." Xu Erjue kept muttering while worshipping

Grunted.

After Xu Erjue finished worshipping, he didn't see Xu Ming'er move, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, why don't you burn incense?" What about the incense candles? ”

As soon as she heard Xu Erjue mention the incense candles, Xu Ming'er's face was slightly red, and she said with a slight twist: "I'll go to the store to burn it." ”

Xu Er felt that Xu Ming'er's demeanor was different, and he couldn't help but look around her and said, "Sister's incense candle, isn't there something that I can't see for fear that I will see?" ”

Xu Ming'er feigned anger and said: "What nonsense, what is there in this temple?" Bah, bah, and I'm not afraid of the mother's blame. ”

Looking at Xu Ming'er's blushing face again, Xu Erjue suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, my sister won't be the marriage she wants." ”

As soon as he heard Xu Erjue shouting loudly, he hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth and said, "What is this guy talking nonsense?" ”

Xu Erjue dodged away from Xu Ming'er's hand, but still lowered his voice and said: "Sister, don't hide it, you know it like that, you don't have to listen to your heart, you know what you're thinking by looking at your expression." I still laugh at my sister because of it, but my sister should ask for marriage and ask for the old moon, why did she come to the Niangniang Temple? ”

Xu Ming'er said to Xu Erjue: "Don't guess, I'll go burn incense first, wait for me outside, don't follow up." ”

Xu Erjue was obedient, and sure enough, he didn't follow up, just wandered around outside and waited for Xu Ming'er to come out.

Xu Erjue had already walked out of the temple gate to the square and came back, but he didn't see Xu Ming'er come out, so he entered the temple and looked for Xu Ming'er.

As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw Xu Ming'er getting up and walking outside, Xu Erjue greeted him with a smile and said: "Sister, I don't know which family's son, such a good blessing makes my sister have so many words to tell her mother." ”

Xu Ming'er heard her brother's words and warned: "Erjue, don't tell your father and grandfather when you go home, otherwise they won't fight." ”

"I know, I know, they will protect me, because I have not been beaten less." , Xu Erjue pouted, and after complaining, Xu Erjue immediately said excitedly: "Sister, I just went outside to take a turn when I was praying for blessings, and someone was writing something in the square, let's hurry up and take a look, I heard that if the writing is good, you can go to Shilan to watch the performance, and my sister's style will definitely help us win two positions." ”

Xu Ming'er asked puzzledly, "What do you want to write?" ”

Xu Erjue also said ambiguously: "It seems to say that today they have a serious illness and can't come, and no one writes a note about the lanterns in the stone fence~ So I specially invite people who have learned to help, in short, I just write some riddles, poems, couplets, etc., anyway, these are difficult." However, I heard from them that this temple fair was very crowded when there were many people, and those literati were reluctant to come, so no one helped them write one until now. The man who hung the lamp was dying. ”

Xu Ming'er asked, "What is the purpose of writing all that?" Rush them like this? ”

Xu Erjue explained to Xu Ming'er as he walked out: "When we came, there was a stone fence at the end of the square, and I heard that many lanterns would be hung at night for people to guess riddles, pair pairs, and compose poems. ”

Xu Ming'er was puzzled: "Why do people who come here have to guess riddles and go there to watch the show?" I don't think there are a lot of empty teahouses in that big theater? Wouldn't it be better to see there? ”

Xu Erjue rolled his eyes and glanced at the sister beside him who didn't know the suffering of the world and said: "Sister, the tea house in the big theater has been sold out a few days ago, and now many people can't buy it if they want to buy a lot of silver tickets, there is such a good place to watch, who would want to go to Temple Street to squeeze and watch, does my sister want to go to Temple Street and squeeze around with people?" ”

Xu Ming'er listened

I was going to go to the street to crowd with people, so I couldn't help but shudder, and then urged Xu Erjue: "Then let's go quickly, lest such a good errand be preempted." ”

When Xu Ming'er's sister and brother went out of the temple gate and returned to the square, they saw that the lanterns next to the stone fence had been hung one by one, but there was no ~ on the lanterns as Xu Erjue said.

By the lantern-enclosed verandah, a young man set up a table, on which were neatly placed many palm-sized strips of paper, and beside the notes were pen and ink, inkstones, paperweights, and pen holders.

There were already a lot of people around the table, but seeing that the young man behind the table was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, none of the onlookers stepped forward.

At this moment, everyone heard someone shouting behind them, "Get out of the way, someone is here to write." ”

Everyone turned around and saw that it was a small boy who was talking, and there was a little girl next to him, so they thought that the young man was playing around, and they didn't mean to get out of the way, only the young man behind the table seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and said to the onlookers: "Let go, let the two young ladies come in." ”

Everyone listened to the young man's words, and then they made a way, and Xu Erjue walked to the table first.

The young man asked, "Is the little boy coming to the question?" ”

Xu Erjue replied, "No." ”

The onlookers around were suddenly whispered in kindness, and sure enough, as they thought, such a young child could know what to chant poetry against.

The people around here are ordinary people in the neighborhood, and it is not a problem for them to wield a hoe to make some crop handles, but it is not a problem to write with a pen.

But the young man didn't think that these two young ladies were here to have fun, and at first glance, they were dressed like young masters and young masters from a scholarly family, and it was enough to read and write at this age.

Then the young man asked, "Is that the young lady?" ”

Xu Erjue said proudly: "It's my sister." It's as if he's the one who is about to be in the limelight.

The young man asked, "I don't know the surnames of the two young ladies of the child?" ”

Xu Ming'er said: "Don't have your surname Xu." ”

"Then trouble Miss Xu, please!" , The young man gave up his position and said to Xu Ming'er.

At this time, Xu Erjue opened his mouth and confirmed: "Wait, let me ask first, is it that after my sister finishes writing, we can go there to watch the performance?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "This is natural, otherwise, with Miss Xu's own riddle and connection, even if we don't invite you in, Miss Xu won't be easy to guess her own riddle for her own pair?" ”

Xu Erjue thought about it, but he was right, but he wasted two mysteries.

Xu Ming'er took out a red note and pressed it under the paperweight, and asked the young man as she wrote, "I don't know how many questions the son needs to write?" ”

The young man said a little embarrassedly: "There are a hundred lanterns here that need to be hung with strips~, that is, a hundred questions are needed." ”

Xu Erjue was surprised when he heard this: "A hundred? So much? He suddenly had the feeling that he had dug a hole for his sister.

The young man also felt that it was too much to ask a little girl from a family to write a hundred questions, so he said, "Anyway, there are not so many people who can guess it, or write fifty." ”

Xu Erjue said: "Although, a hundred is indeed a bit much, but with my sister's ability, that is, the kung fu of a cup of tea, there is no need to halve." ”
