In a few words, Xu Ming'er had already written out five questions, and the young man and a group of onlookers couldn't help but marvel.

The onlookers couldn't help but sigh, this girl is not only good-looking, but also knowledgeable, how good it would be if she could be my son's daughter-in-law.

At the beginning, Xu Ming'er wrote very fast, but after fifty questions, the speed began to slow down, the poem title is the easiest to write, but the answer is the most time-consuming, and from ancient times to the present, the poem question back and forth is just a few, so Xu Ming'er to the poem to do the question is not a lot, as for the riddle, Xu Ming'er just played some during the New Year's holiday, can come up with a good question, there are more than 20, the rest are all pairs, the above joint into the question, This is easy for Xu Ming'er.

Until all the hundred questions were written, Xu Ming'er took less than half an hour.

Xu Ming'er put down the pen and said to the young man: "All the hundred sheets have been written, you can take them and hang them." ”

The young man scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I still want to trouble Miss Xu, this question is out, but the corresponding answer has to be written by Miss Xu and me, otherwise whether the person who comes to answer the question is correct or not, we don't know if it's not." ”

When Xu Ming'er heard this, she was a little embarrassed and said: "The answer to this riddle is easy to say, but the answer to the couplet and the poem is not the only one, I can't give you everything I can think of, right?" ”

"It's embarrassing, and when Mr. is not here today, no one can examine right or wrong." The young man shook his head in frustration.

Suddenly, the young man raised his head and looked at Xu Ming'er and said, "I wonder if Miss Xu can help us go to investigate the people who answer the questions?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Ming'er to answer, Xu Erjue on the side hurriedly refused: "Don't even think about it, my sister and I are here to visit the temple fair, but not to help you guard the door, we have written a hundred questions for you is already benevolent and righteous, you don't have to inch in, with my sister's talent, even if he doesn't help you with the question, we can also rely on our own ability to enter your lantern corridor to watch the play." ”

As soon as the young man heard Xu Erjue say this, he had no choice for a while, such a request was indeed excessive, but he didn't have a better way.

Xu Ming'er couldn't bear to see the young man so embarrassed, so she said: "I'll help you write out the mystery first, as for the couplet, I can also give you a lower couplet for each couplet, basically it's eight or nine not far from ten, as for the poetry, I have no way at all, but when the time comes, there will be a lot of people who can enter the relationship in the lantern corridor, and it will be an interesting thing to ask everyone to judge it once in a while, so you can have your heart." ”

The young man listened to Xu Ming'er's suggestion, and solved a problem, and he said to Xu Ming'er from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you so much Miss Xu, Miss Xu is not only knowledgeable, but also a beautiful person." ”

Xu Ming'er only smiled at the young man's words of praise and did not answer. She picked up her pen again and wrote down the answers to the puzzles and couplets, and then labeled each question with a number corresponding to the answer.

Xu Ming'er wrote the answer and handed it to the young man, watched the man step on the ladder and hang the questions on the lantern one by one, and then left with Xu Erjue.

After Xu Ming'er and her brother arrived here, they first worshiped Niangniang Temple, and then delayed a lot of time for the lantern topic, and the number of people who came to the temple fair gradually increased. The two left the square in front of the temple and entered the temple street, looking at the vendors on both sides of the street, every place was very lively.

Xu Ming'er has also visited Liuli Lane in the west of the city, although it is much more prosperous there, but it is less local than here.

On both sides of the main street of Dongba, merchants and vendors gather, department stores and miscellaneous items, there are farm tools used for farming in the countryside, game from Orion Mountain, animal skins, bamboo shoots, ginseng, etc., and even many people use wheat straw straw to weave straw hats or wicker, flower branches woven flower crowns, flower baskets, etc.

These things are difficult to see in Liuli Alley, although these are not worth a few dollars, Xu Ming'er can see them with relish. Whenever he saw something new, he would always touch it with his own hands, if it weren't for the fact that she could only carry a flower crown on her head, Xu Ming'er would want to buy everything from those things.

didn't go shopping for long, Xu Ming'er was empty-handed except for the flower crown she was wearing on her head, and Xu Erjue's pockets were already stuffed.

Xu Erjue looked at Xu Ming'er's appearance as if he liked the new things on it every time he passed a stall, but he only bought a flower crown, and he was quite puzzled: "Sister, since you like so many things, why don't you buy them, it's not expensive anyway." ”

Xu Ming'er pointed to Xu Erjue's arms and said, "And then is it like you?" ”

Xu Erjue smiled and said: "Sister, if you are embarrassed, I will buy it and help you hold it, although I look at a lot of things here, I can still fit so many more." ”

Xu Ming'er shook her head and said: "Some things are full of joy just by looking at them, if you really get it, you will have a lot less thoughts, and you will no longer cherish it after a long time, if all the things you like in the world are in your hands, then there will be nothing worth liking outside the body, what kind of sadness should it be." ”

Xu Ming'er said: "Sister, what you say is always in the clouds, which makes people not understand, and I feel as if what you said is very reasonable." Is this the consequence of reading too many books? If you don't even want to have something you like, isn't that more sad than sad? ”

Xu Ming'er didn't expect her younger brother to be able to say this, so she smiled and said, "Maybe, but my sister's personality is like this, and many things I like are just to look at." ”

Xu Erjue said: "My sister has an elegant temperament, I am a layman, my sister continues to look at Huanxi, and I continue to buy what I like." After saying that, he ran forward.

Not long after, Xu Erjue ran back again, he took Xu Ming'er's hand and said, "Sister, come with me to the front to see if I lied last time." ”

Xu Ming'er was pulled forward by Xu Erjue for some reason, and couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?" What is not lying. ”

didn't run far, Xu Erjue stopped panting, and pointed to a dozing man on the side of the road: "When we first came to the capital, I said that an old fairy told me a fortune and said that our family had a catastrophe that should happen to you, and that person was the one." ”

Xu Ming'er looked at the Taoist priest who was dozing off the willow tree and said to Xu Erjue: "You still say that the old immortals? You said that he is so godly and godly, has there been a catastrophe for me in the past few months? Isn't my sister still okay now? ”

Xu Erjue always felt that his family didn't trust him when he met an old fairy, and they all said that he had been cheated out of all his money, so he always wanted to prove that he was not lying, but he never thought that he was really deceived.

At this time, after Xu Ming'er reminded her, Xu Erjue looked at how the old fairy looked like an old liar.

This dozing Taoist priest is none other than Hong Xinghe.

At this time, someone happened to come to the Taoist hexagram stall to wake up the dozing Taoist priest, the two said a few words, and the man stretched out his right hand towards the Taoist priest, looking like he was looking at palmistry.

Seeing this scene, Xu Erjue hurriedly walked a few steps to the Taoist priest's hexagram stall, and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "You old liar actually came here to deceive people." ”

As soon as he heard that this Taoist priest was a liar, the person who originally read palmistry hurriedly withdrew his hand, and then glanced at Hong Xinghe with complicated eyes, didn't say much, turned around and left.

Seeing that the guests were scared away, Hong Xinghe said to Xu Erjue dissatisfiedly: "Where did the little doll come from?" Disturbed the poor people's livelihood in vain, you said I was an old liar, how did I lie to you? ”

"Do you remember that at the beginning of the year, at a tea stall, you told my fortune and said that there was a catastrophe in my family, and this catastrophe would be on my sister in less than three months, but she has nothing to do now, and said that you are not talking nonsense."

But it happened that Hong Xinghe relied on a pair of eyes and a mouth to tell people divination, the eyes are used to investigate, the mouth is used to say that the black is white, and the dead are alive, and rarely sometimes he will really use his strength to show people's appearance, but this time Hong Xinghe did not cheat.

At the tea stall that day, Hong Xinghe chatted speculatively with this kid, so he decided to really make a hexagram for him, and only received ten taels of silver, but the result was that there was a catastrophe in the family, and it should be on his sister within three months.

Hong Xinghe looked at the woman next to Xu Erjue, and then said, "Is this your sister?" ”

Xu Erjue said: "Of course, what else do you have to say?" ”

Hong Xinghe looked at Xu Ming'er carefully, only to see that his face was red and bright, like a peach blossom, and he couldn't help but say to Xu Erjue: "Your sister's calamity has already been answered." ”

Xu Er felt that his sister was standing here, and Taoist Hong Xinghe was still talking nonsense, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "You old liar still dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, the master smashed your stall and burned your signboard?" ”

Xu Ming'er on the side heard Xu Erjue calling himself a master, and reprimanded: "Where did you learn this, there are no rules in martial arts, if grandpa and father hear it, I'm afraid you will be beaten again." ”

Xu Erjue said: "If my sister doesn't go in front of them, just say no, I'm also angry, but this old liar deceives people too much, so I said it for a while." ”

Hong Xinghe said: "The old liar's name is not bad, the poor road is not wrong, I don't believe it, let me ask your sister a few words." ”

Xu Er felt that what Hong Xinghe said was in a good way, and it didn't seem to be fake, he said with some suspicion: "You ask, if you can't give me a satisfactory statement after asking, I will still smash your stall and burn your signboard." ”

Hong Xinghe smiled and asked Xu Ming'er, "Poor Dao takes the liberty of asking, has Miss Xu met her sweetheart?" ”

When Xu Ming'er heard that this Taoist priest would ask such a question, her face immediately turned red with shame, she naturally wouldn't answer this kind of thing, but Hong Xinghe's brother Xu Ming'er's face had already seen it.

Xu Erjue, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a "bah": "This is my sister's private matter, what does it have to do with you." ”

Hong Xinghe didn't pay attention to Xu Erjue's words, and then said to Xu Ming'er: "Poor Dao really has no intention of offending, although Miss is reluctant to answer, but Poor Dao can see that Miss is concerned about that person." When Miss first met that person, was it within the March period that Poor Dao and Brother Xu said? ”

Xu Ming'er still didn't make any reply, but couldn't help but think in her heart, in this way, the first encounter with that person was indeed within three months, or even a few days, when Xu Erjue mentioned the matter of the old immortal.

Hong Xinghe glanced at Xu Ming'er, and then said as if talking to himself: "That's right." ”

Xu Er didn't know what he meant, and asked, "What's right?" ”

Hong Xinghe stroked his beard and smiled: "In the end, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, which is also a gift and a disaster." Whether my hexagram is right or wrong, Brother Xu will know if you ask your sister. ”
