Jinxiu quipped in a voice that only she and Xu Ming'er could hear: "Among those who say that women are pleasing to themselves, Miss Xu is so carefully dressed, but which son is she going to meet by chance?" ”

Xu Ming'er peeked at Zhu Youzhen and said: "Sister Jinxiu also teased me like this, Ming'er is for the sake of pleasing herself, so who is Sister Jinxiu dressed up for?" ”

Jinxiu saw Xu Ming'er's eyes looking at Zhu Youzhen when she spoke, and confirmed in her heart that this Miss Xu was in love with her own son-in-law, Xu Ming'er had been handing posts to Zhu's mansion before, because she had not really had much contact with Zhu Youzhen, so she still had some doubts in her heart, thinking that maybe it was really to ask her son-in-law for poetry and rhythm.

So Jinxiu said generously: "There is no such good person as our son-in-law in this world, I am not happy with anyone except our son-in-law, and I have to accompany our son-in-law to serve all my life, our son-in-law has long been accustomed to my usual dress, if you dress up carefully, let alone please him, I am afraid it will scare him." ”

Xu Ming'er listened to Jinxiu's words, and couldn't help but feel envious, thinking that after delivering posts a few times in so many days, Zhu Youzhen always excused herself from being there, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At this time, Xu Er, who was threatened by Xu Ming'er and didn't dare to speak, felt that the two women were muttering endlessly, as if there were endless whispers, and a group of people were waiting there, so he couldn't help but said: "If the two sisters have anything to say, let's go inside and say it, the performance in the big theater is about to start, and if you don't go, you will miss it." ”

The two of them remembered that a group of people were waiting for them, and Xu Ming'er said a little embarrassedly: "Let Brother Zhu and you wait for a long time, let's go in." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, he saw the two women whispering there before, but he also paid attention to some gentlemanly demeanor, so he didn't interrupt, just waited quietly on the side, and when he heard Xu Ming'er's words, Zhu Youzhen beckoned everyone to go to the main street of Dongba.

Entering the main street, a group of people is not as free to walk as they are outside, and it is quite difficult for the crowd to walk faster.

Although Zhu Youzhen's previous words about being afraid that Jinxiu would be squeezed out or abducted by the flow of people were just a joke, but at this time, those Zhu Mansion Guards who followed Zhu Youzhen, that is, the former Jinyi Guard, knew that this Jinxiu girl had a different relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and seeing that the crowd on the main street was so crowded, they spontaneously surrounded Jinxiu and Xu Ming'er in the middle, and left some distance between them and these two girls, so as not to take advantage of the two girls by passers-by on the street.

Although these people didn't know the relationship between this Miss Xu and His Royal Highness the Prince, the two girls were holding hands at this time, and this group of Zhu Mansion Guards had no choice but to surround both of them.

When Jinxiu and Xu Ming'er first entered the main street, they did have some dislike for the crowd that was crowded around, but at this moment, when they saw that this group of rough-looking men had such delicate thoughts, they couldn't help but be full of gratitude.

Zhu Youzhen didn't ask these people to let them do this, but seeing what these people did, Zhu Youzhen was relieved in his heart, if these people were still the old men of those brocade guards, they would never do such a thing.

Xu Ming'er came early, and she didn't feel how crowded she did when she first came, so she had already visited the vendors on both sides of the main street, but the splendid was square, and she hadn't seen some novel things yet, although she felt novel, but she didn't want to squeeze around in the crowd.

Xu Ming'er saw Jinxiu's curious look, so she told Jinxiu what she had seen earlier.

It's okay not to listen to it, but after hearing this, Jinxiu felt even more curious and wanted to take a look.

Although Zhu Youzhen had no one around him, he was guarded by Gao Sheng, Gao Han and Yu Dachuan, ordinary

People generally can't get close.

Zhu Youzhen is not familiar with the temple fair, but it is rare to have Xu Erjue and Xu Ming'er, two familiar people to lead, Xu Erjue still has a lot of treasures in his arms, at this time he is naturally less interested in those street stalls, he showed off to Zhu Youzhen: "Brother Zhu, I will take you to a good place, except there, there is no better place to watch the performance of the gods in the big theater." It was a place that my sister had spent an afternoon of hard work to get, and you would be satisfied with it. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't ask what place it was, and let Xu Erjue lead the way towards Niangniang Temple.

Far away, Zhu Youzhen saw that the square in front of Niangniang Temple was crowded, but only the stone fence in front of the square was empty and there were few people.

Xu Erjue pointed to the big theater opposite the Niangniang Temple and said, "Brother Zhu, look, that is the place where the gods perform tonight." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked there, and saw that the big theater occupied a large area, but the tea house under the stage was already full of people, and even the aisle next to the tea house was crowded with people, and the people who were ready to watch the play had already filled the entire temple street from the tea house, and the people in the square in front of the Niangniang Temple were also standing on it and facing the opposite side to watch the play, but no one went to the best place in the stone fence.

Zhu Youzhen asked Xu Erjue quite puzzled: "Little Brother Xu, this place is full of people watching the show, why is no one going to that place?" Zhu Youzhen pointed to the stone fence.

Xu Erjue said proudly: "That is the best place I told Brother Zhu to go, although the place is good, but not everyone can enter there." ”

Zhu Youzhen said suspiciously: "Oh? Could it be that there is no way to say it? ”

Xu Erjue said: "Brother Zhu is really right, only me and my sister can enter casually, if others want to enter, it will be difficult, but Brother Zhu rest assured, there is no problem with me and my sister to bring you in." ”

Zhu Youzhen asked, "I don't know how to get in?" ”

"This Brother Zhu will find out in a while, my sister only had this opportunity to go there to watch the play after helping them all afternoon."

Soon, Xu Erjue led a group of people up the stone steps to the square in front of the Niangniang Temple, and it was the young man who was guarding the entrance of the lantern eaves corridor in the afternoon.

Xu Erjue said hello to the young man guarding the door, and wanted to lead the person inside.

As a result, Xu Erjue was let in, but Zhu Youzhen and his party were stopped.

When Xu Erjue saw this, he said to the man guarding the door: "These are my friends. ”

The man guarding the door was a little embarrassed and said, "Young Master Xu, I can only let you and Miss Xu in, and the others still have to follow our rules." ”

Xu Erjue had blown off the cowhide with Zhu Youzhen before, and this was the case at this time, which made him very embarrassed. Xu Erjue couldn't help but angrily said to the young man: "My sister and I spent so long in the afternoon, and helped you so much, can't you even bring a few friends in?" ”

The young man was also a little embarrassed, he was embarrassed by the favor of his family but was embarrassed here, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

The young man said apologetically: "Xu Gongzi is really sorry, I don't want to be embarrassed with Xu Gongzi and Miss Xu, I should have put the two friends in, but the people around here are watching, if it is just one person or two, I will also put it in, but nearly thirty people, if all of them are put in, the rules of the lantern eaves corridor here will be broken, and the annual Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple temple fair in the future, this lantern eaves corridor will no longer exist." ”

Xu Erjue still wants to say it again, Zhu

You Jian stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "What this brother said is very true, since the rules are set, then they must be obeyed, if the rules are broken because of privileges, then this lantern eaves corridor really has no meaning to exist." Since we can't get in, we won't go in, just take a look outside. ”

When the young man guarding the door saw that this person no longer insisted on entering, he was also relieved, so he said to Zhu Youzhen: "The rules are to be followed, but it does not mean that you must not be allowed to enter. ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that he had misunderstood when he heard it at this time, and it turned out that he was not completely forbidden to enter, so he asked, "I don't know what to say about going in?" ”

The young man pointed to the lantern hanging on the eaves of the lantern and said: "It's easy to say, Childe only needs to answer a question under this lantern correctly to enter, but this matter is difficult to say, and it takes some talent to answer these questions correctly." And everyone has no chance to answer incorrectly, if they answer incorrectly, or can't answer, they can't answer the question again, if Childe can do a good job, even if all these people are brought in. ”

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he immediately became interested, it turned out that this was the case, he and Xu Ming'er were here, so it was not easy for these people to go in all of them, so he said to the young man guarding the door: "Then take a question and I'll try it." ”

When the man saw that Zhu Youzhen was about to answer the question, he took a bamboo pole with a hook on the head of a pole next to him, picked out a lantern, and then took off the note with the inscription on the lantern and handed it to Zhu Youzhen: "Son, please." ”。

The people gathered in the square also want to answer the question but have a weak heart, just their little learning, can know a few more big words is already amazing, at this time when I heard someone want to answer the question, they are all interested in the surrounding to watch.

Zhu Youzhen took the note and opened it, only to see that this question was a pair, and the upper link was "lotus root due to lotus".

Seeing this question, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, and said to the young man: "Today is the temple fair of Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple on the seventh day of the fifth month, and this question is like the Qixi Festival on the seventh day of the seventh month of July." After speaking, Zhu Youzhen read the couplet, "Because of the lotus, the lotus root, the ingenuity of this couplet, is a homophonic couplet, presumably it is a woman who came out of this couplet, right?" ”

When the young man heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he was a little surprised, it turned out that this person didn't know that this couplet was from Miss Xu's hand, but since Miss Xu didn't say it, he naturally wouldn't say it, but just asked: "Childe may be right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a moment, and muttered a few words to himself, "The word 'lotus' is connected to 'he', and the word 'lotus' is connected to 'even', why is it even married, this is a naked courtship, not only the homophony must be matched, but the meaning cannot be too bad." ”

The onlookers saw that Zhu Youzhen was muttering there alone, but he didn't answer the question, and couldn't help but coax: "Is the little boy wrong?" If you can't do it, you don't have to be embarrassed, give up, we can't come out, it's so embarrassing. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the noisy person and said with a smile: "I don't need plum for apricots, the word 'apricot' is 'lucky', and the word 'plum' is 'medium', so right, so right, haha." After speaking, Zhu Youzhen said loudly to the ridiculous person: "My son has come out, how is it?" ”

The man saw that this little boy was really right, but he still said stiffly: "We don't understand, and we don't dare to ask, whether the little boy is really right or casually said that this young man wants this young man to say it." After speaking, the man said to the young man guarding the door: "Little brother, tell me, can this little boy pass the test?" ”
