Chapter 26: Xuan Ce Comes to Chang'an
How can there be such a good thing? It's just a riddle, a couplet, or a couplet. As soon as the words fell, the crowd was in an uproar. The number of onlookers suddenly increased.
"Big brother, go quickly, this is a good opportunity to become an official in the court."
"San Lang, you have studied hard for ten years, go over and have a look."
"Grandpa, I'm going to guess riddles, I'm going to be the manager."
"I've wanted to enter Tiantang Primary School for a long time, and this time I have a chance."
"Lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so talented, he is not much older than you. You hurry up, if only you could see His Royal Highness the Prince. You will also be a steward, and you will be able to see him often. Save you unrequited love. Although the maid's voice was not loud, there were a few people who heard what the little girl said, but they didn't care, most of them smiled and shook their heads.
"The sixth year of junior high school, don't talk nonsense, you're getting more and more disagreeable. How can you arrange the master like this? Su Yueqing's face was flushed, and she scolded in a low voice, wanting to leave, but she was unwilling.
"The slave knows that she is wrong, and she says this just to make the lady happy." Chu Liu hurriedly whispered, and then heard a low laughter, and immediately turned his head and glared angrily. Not far behind him, Li Chengqian and the three of them stood together, all serious, frowning, shaking their heads, or being indifferent. Chu Liu thought to himself, it must be these three obscene guys, who just finished laughing at themselves and their masters, and now they are pretending again.
"It must be you three disciples who have been sneaky and followed us, and now they are laughing at us." The maid couldn't take care of it, and ran directly to Li Chengqian and the others.
"Young and frivolous, unlearned, insulting. And - in short, the bad guys. After thinking about it for a long time, I searched out a few words and phrases that I usually heard, and I didn't know what to say in the sixth year of junior high school.
"This little lady, we didn't do anything, we didn't say anything, we have no grievances with you, what are you doing to embarrass us?" Du He rolled his eyes and said.
"On the sixth day of junior high school, don't argue with others. Come back, I've figured out the answer. Su Yuezhen looked at Du He, then at her maid, and said lightly.
"Hmph, it's still my lady who is amazing, and I don't know a few of you who don't learn and don't know anything."
At this moment, the young man had already looked up and replied, "Doctor, I guess this riddle is the [oil lamp], I don't know if it's correct. "Lang Jun answered correctly, but he has already made the next couplet?" The guy hurriedly replied.
The crowd "whooped", guessed in such a short time? It's amazing. Thinking about the mystery, I was full of disappointment, why couldn't I think of it? "The next link is, the oolong hangs on the wall, wearing 10,000 gold stars. (Hit a day's items)"
The guy glanced at Li Chengqian, who nodded at him. shouted loudly: "Congratulations to this Langjun, I will go to see His Highness with the little one later." ”
"Lang Jun is slow, my little master also knows the answer, and he can also make the next link, but you are just one step ahead." Looking at the maid's red little face at the beginning of the sixth year, listening to her dissatisfied tone, the crowd roared and laughed. Guess the riddle, whoever guesses it first, even if whoever wins, what is the reason why this little girl is in a hurry?
"Little lady, you might as well make another link, yes, we admit that you guessed it first." Someone in the crowd shouted. "Yes, you have another one, count it as yours." The crowd echoed in unison. Su Yuezhen was also flushed, at a loss, and secretly regretted it in her heart.
Looking at the guy's inquiring look, Li Chengqian nodded slightly. The man exclaimed, "Since everyone has said so, if you can make another link, you are right." ”
"Lady, what are you afraid of?" After the sixth day of the first month, I plucked it. Su Yuezhen looked at the anticipation in the eyes of everyone around her, finally clenched her fists, and stepped forward: "Qinglong Trail, waist is tied with gossip Xuanwen." (Hit a day's items)"
"Sizzle" Everyone took a breath, it was really right, it was really different, and it was really a riddle. Even the young man looked sideways with a solemn expression.
The guy who got Li Chengqian's hint said with a smile: "Congratulations to this little lady, you can go to see Your Highness with the little one later." This riddle has been revealed, congratulations to both of you. ”
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, and someone shouted, "Walk slowly, tell us the mystery, and let us understand." "Hey, you two are fine, it's okay when you're done, let's eat melons and watch the show stupidly?
Li Chengqian whispered a few words in Du He's ear, and Du He was overjoyed. rushed to the front, raised two little arms, and said loudly, "Don't underestimate the world, I'll tell you the answer and see if it's right." The answer to this mystery is: the ruler measures the world, and the scale is in the hearts of the people. but a wooden ruler and a rod scale. ”
"Wow, that's amazing, my Datang is really full of talents." There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and even the young man couldn't stop nodding.
"There is no ink on the chest, stinky and beautiful, why did you go earlier?" Chu Liu looked at Du He's departing figure and took a sip, and said fiercely. "Come with me, both of you." The guy quickly took off the lamp and came over to say hello.
"Ah, here it is!" The two little girls followed the young man and the boy to a house very close to the back. The sixth year of junior high school, who was suffering from gains and losses, quietly asked his master, "They can't be bad people, right?" ”
"When it is peaceful today, the government is responsible, the security of Chang'an City is so good, and today is the Shangyuan Festival, it shouldn't be." Su Yuezhen was also unsure, and replied weakly.
"The front is, a few people, please come in, His Highness is already waiting in the courtyard, and the little one will retire." The man's voice fell, and he immediately led them into the gate, only to find that in the middle of the large courtyard, three delinquent teenagers were looking at them with a smile on their faces.
looked at the sixth junior high with his mouth wide open, the young man with a surprised face, and Su Yuezhen who was staring wide-eyed. The eldest grandson shouted fiercely: "Bold, when you see His Royal Highness the Prince, you dare to be so rude, and come over to meet you quickly." ”
"Don't scare them, they've already met." Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and then bowed his hand to the young man, "Li Chengqian is polite." I don't know your high surname and name, how old is it? ”
"I don't dare to be a big gift for His Royal Highness, a certain surname is named Xuance, the word Qiming, a native of Luoyang, was born in the seventh year of Daye (611). Seeing the prince today is a blessing for three lives. ”
What did you say? Are you Wang Xuance? You came to Chang'an to see the lanterns? Are you bored playing lantern riddles? God, you're kidding, right? Li Chengqian's body shook, he stumbled, and almost didn't fall, this time it was his turn to make a fool of himself.
I also sent someone to inquire in the Luoyang area, but fortunately, people came to Chang'an. stabilized his mind for a while, and smiled awkwardly: "Qiming is talented, I don't know if you are willing to go to the court to be an official, or are you willing to come to my prince's mansion and be responsible for the property under my name for me?" ”
"A certain age is still young, and I hope to follow His Highness, study for a while, and then make plans." Wang Xuance said in his heart, he is so young, now that he is an official, the emperor is not willing, at most he will enter the national prison, you are the prince, don't think about saying some empty words to fool me.
