The young man who guarded the door had read a few years of books, but his knowledge was also limited, and he knew a few more words than the other people on the lookers, although he heard that Zhu Youzhen's casual pair was quite like that, but it was a little difficult for him to confirm whether he had cleared the customs, and when he saw the people around him reminding him, the young man took out the answer that Xu Ming'er had prepared for him in the afternoon, and rummaged through them one by one according to the number, until he found the number corresponding to the question in Zhu Youzhen's hand, the young man looked at the answer, and then said to Zhu Youzhen: " What is Childe right about? And again, please. ”

Zhu Youzhen had a chill, the guard of this lantern eaves corridor couldn't even recognize such a neat pair, and he still had the courage to guard the door here, and even if he got the answer, he still needed to read it again.

Zhu Youzhen was helpless, so he had to repeat again, "I'm right to 'have apricots and don't need plums.'" ’”

Only then did the young man say: "Childe is amazing, the right pair is exactly the same as this answer, congratulations to Childe for passing the test, Childe please come in." ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "Let's take another question." The young man hung back the first lantern that had no title, replaced it with another lantern, took down the note and handed it to Zhu Youzhen: "Childe, please answer the question." ”

Zhu Youzhen took the note and didn't open it directly, but said to Jinxiu first: "Xiu'er, the big drama over there is about to start, Miss Xu doesn't have to answer the question, let's go to watch the play with Miss Xu first." ”

Jinxiu shook his head and said: "No, Childe, Jinxiu likes to watch Childe chant poems against him, let Luo Zongqi go first, I will accompany Childe here." ”

Xu Ming'er, who was beside Jinxiu, listened to Jinxiu's words, and felt so bad that he wanted to talk to Zhu Youzhen like this, but the closest person around Zhu Youzhen was not her, she just felt that if she could do so, she would rather be a servant girl by Zhu Youzhen's side.

Xu Ming'er was thinking wildly there, and Jinxiu was reluctant to go in, but Luo Yangxing, who heard Jinxiu's words, was unwilling, he looked at Jinxiu and said: "How can a group of big men here have the reason to take the lead with women, Xiu'er, don't mention letting others be advanced, but when you mention me, you look down on my manhood?" ”

Jinxiu said dissatisfiedly: "I have said that you are not allowed to call me 'Xiu'er', twist and pinch, how can there be any manhood, if you don't go in, you won't go in, how can your mind be finer than a woman." ”

Luo Yangxing was used to being sarcastically ridiculed by Jinxiu, and it was completely inappropriate, so he just laughed and said: "Okay, it's good not to be called 'Xiu'er' in the future, but 'Fifth Sister-in-law' in the future." ”

Jinxiu finally remembered that she had never won a fight with Luo Yangxing, and then listening to Luo Yangxing's words, although she liked it very much, she was blushing in front of so many people. Jinxiu lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito fly: "What nonsense, what 'fifth sister-in-law'?" Oops, it's really embarrassing, now let's call someone 'Xiu'er'. ”

Luo Yangxing saw the appearance of Jinxiu, but he was in a good mood, it was very interesting to tease the little girl, once this Jinxiu really came to Zhu Youzhen one day, he wanted to tease her again, I am afraid that he would have to think about the consequences.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the two of them were messing around and had no clue, so he said to Jinxiu: "Let's go in first, there is a step away from the inside and outside of this door, and I want to look the same inside, and wait until we go in to watch this son show his might." ”

Jinxiu thought about it, but it was also, although there were two places inside and outside the door, but they were only two steps apart, so she took Xu Ming'er's hand and said, "Sister Ming'er, let's go in first and wait." ”

Xu Ming'er nodded, and entered the lantern eaves corridor with Jinxiu, and the two of them stood inside the door and looked outside.

After the two of them go in

, Zhu Youzhen opened the second note, looked at the title on it and said: "This is another couplet, and the upper couplet is 'Green water has no waves and wrinkled faces'." ”

As soon as she heard Zhu Youzhen finish reading the upper link, Xu Ming'er's face turned red, and she thought to herself, how could it be so coincidental, there were only a few pairs written by mind in a hundred questions that were drawn by this big brother Zhu in a row.

Zhu Youzhen kept talking about this coupling in his mouth, and he didn't have a clue for a while, so he couldn't help but say to the young man guarding the door: "I don't know which sentimental young lady came up with the question, but it was just to answer the question into a lantern corridor, and it was not a pair of relatives who answered the right answer to send the young lady, why bother to make such a difficult pair embarrassing." ”

Xu Ming'er listened to the absurdity of Zhu Youzhen's words inside the door, and couldn't help but take a sip and then said to Jinxiu: "Your son is so serious. ”

Jinxiu said with a little meaning: "It's because my son-in-law is sometimes so indecent that I like other young ladies." ”

"Isn't it? He didn't know how many girls he would have to upset in the future. Xu Ming'er blurted out inadvertently, and after the words came out, she regretted it a little, and hurriedly glanced at Jinxiu, seeing that she was just staring at Zhu Youzhen and didn't notice the meaning of her words, so she put her mind at ease, and then couldn't help but think: "If it's really right, send Miss, then it's good." ”

The young man glanced at Xu Ming'er, and said to Zhu Youzhen with a smile: "Childe said that he laughed, there are inevitably a few difficult questions in this hundred questions, and he was selected by Childe in the second way, but Childe can't answer?" ”

Zhu Youzhen stubbornly said: "Who said that this son can't answer? Let me think about it. ”

The crowd watching the excitement spoke again, and said: "The little boy can't answer it at a young age, it's already great to be able to answer a question, but don't be so young because of answering a question that gray hair." ”

Hearing the man's words, Zhu Youzhen said with joy: "Yes, the green water has no wrinkles due to the wind, and I am not old and white-headed for Qingshanyuan." ”

This time, there was no need for others to ask, the young man had already prepared the answer, he looked down and said, "Congratulations to the son for answering correctly again, please enter one more." ”

Zhu Youzhen said to a few maids beside him: "Let's go in one by one first." ”

After another woman entered the door, Zhu Youzhen arched his hand towards the onlookers and said, "This question is answered thanks to Your Excellency's prompt." ”

The man didn't squirm, and said with a laugh: "The old man doesn't know a few words, but he can help the little boy to make a pair, if the old man has the opportunity to read a few more books, maybe he will be able to get a champion." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly." Then he said to the young man: "Take it again, take a few more this time, this son will answer together, and it is too troublesome to take them one by one." ”

The young man took a lantern again, took off the note and handed it over, kept in his hand, and took five in a row according to Zhu Youzhen's words.

Zhu Youzhen took the first note and opened it, only to see that it was another couplet, and Zhu Youzhen read it to everyone: "This is still a couplet question, and the upper link is 'Sycamore Branches and Twin Phoenixes'." After reading, Zhu Youzhen said to the young scholar: "It's not for me to criticize, I won't go to the academy to find a master, where is this to find a young lady from Sichun, who actually has such a pair of love and love." ”

The young scholar listened to Zhu Youzhen's words, thinking that Miss Xu who asked the question was next to him, and he couldn't say the wrong thing, so he had to keep silent.

Zhu Youzhen continued: "But this pair is not difficult, what I am right is 'standing and mandarin ducks between the flowers'." I guess this lady has read a lot, but it's just a little bit hot? ”

The young man rummaged for the answer and asked, "Why did Childe say this?" I think the young lady who came up with this question is very knowledgeable. ”

Zhu Youzhen guided the young man and said, "Yes, is the title that this young lady wants to express the love between men and women?" ”

The young man nodded, "That seems to mean the title." ”

Zhu Youzhen said again: "Then think about it again, this phoenix is the king of birds, the phoenix refers to the male bird, the phoenix refers to the female bird, and the two phoenixes perched on the sycamore branch, doesn't it mean that there are two male birds sleeping together on the sycamore branch?" ”

When Xu Ming'er inside the door heard Zhu Youzhen's crooked reasoning, she immediately scolded and said, "Phew, shameless." ”

Jinxiu saw Xu Ming'er's face flushed and scolding, and then thought about what Xu Erjue said before that the sister and brother had helped the young man a lot in the afternoon, and immediately thought of something, she looked at Xu Ming'er and smiled: "Isn't it that these 100 questions are all made by Ming'er's sister?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Ming'er to answer, Xu Erjue behind him poked his head sneakily and said, "Someone can see it, look at Brother Zhu over there is still confused." ”

Although the young man was guided into the trap by Zhu Youzhen, he always felt that Miss Xu was still very powerful.

Zhu Youzhen said to everyone again: "Listen to my next link again, it will be even more powerful, the mandarin duck is standing and the mandarin duck is standing among the flowers, this mandarin duck everyone knows, it is the water duck, it just so happens that this 'mandarin duck' also refers to the male bird, and the 'duck' refers to the female bird, my two male birds are not very suitable for the two male birds of that young lady?" ”

Just when Zhu Youzhen was talking proudly, the young man splashed a basin of cold water and said; "I'm sorry, Childe answered this question incorrectly, you can't enter."

Zhu Youzhen said incredulously: "What? Did I answer incorrectly? ”

The young man picked up the answer to the corresponding number of this question and said, "The lower link written on this answer is 'Qingyang Qirui Tao Li Tong'." ”

Zhu Youzhen snatched the note in the young man's hand and looked at it: "What kind of messy lower link is this, I just said that the young lady who came out of the question not only loves Sichun, but also has a very ordinary knowledge. It's just heaven and earth? As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen turned his head to the onlookers and asked, "Did you say that what I said was right?" ”

The group shook their heads and said they didn't understand it at all.

The young man recognized the answer, and Zhu Youzhen said helplessly: "I said that they are too dogmatic, right?" ”

The young man scratched his head and said, "What do you mean by dogmatism?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "It's just to read the book according to the book, only know one and don't know the other, brainless, and don't know how to be flexible." ”

The young man heard that Zhu Youzhen was scolding him for being dull and pedantic, and he didn't refute it, but he just recognized the answer.

Zhu Youzhen pulled the young man and then pointed at Xu Ming'er and said: "If you don't believe it, ask that Miss Xu, that Miss Xu is a famous first talented woman in Songjiang, ask her which is better?" ”

The young man only knew that Xu Ming'er didn't tell Zhu Youzhen that she was the one who asked the question, and at this time he was pulled by Zhu Youzhen and interrogated, he looked at Xu Ming'er "This, this ......" for a long time, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Jinxiu, who was beside Xu Ming'er, looked at Zhu Youzhen with a gloating smile, but she didn't make a sound to remind her.

Zhu Youzhen said to Xu Ming'er: "Miss Xu will comment on the theory, which is better, my next link or this answer?" If I fall on this question, then I will have to rely on Miss Xu's help, and I believe that with Miss Xu's talent, it should not be a problem. ”
