Volume 6 Song Ya 35, Candle Night in the Cave Room (I)
The crescent moon is like a beauty's eyebrows, a faint touch in the western sky, under the starry sky without silver, Jiankang City is like a bureau, Qinhuai River is like a belt, the Chen house on the riverside is brilliantly lit, the front yard is noisy, the backyard is quiet, the intersection of the east and west double corridor buildings, with catkins, because of the wind for the Xie Mansion servants and the short hoe, hairpin for the Lu Mansion servants are left and right, waiting quietly, seeing Chen Cao one step into the inner courtyard, they all stepped forward to give salutes, Lu Mansion said here: "Chen Langjun, please go to the West Building." The one from Xie Mansion said, "Chen Langjun, please go up to the East Building." "The voice is neat and crisp, and it seems to be well-trained.
Double marriage must be a little troublesome, although Chen Caozhi had expected the dilemma of the flower candle in the cave room tonight, but he did not think of any good solution in advance, this ambiguity only improvised, opportunistic action, he Chang'an, Yecheng have gotten, and maneuver calmly, this east and west double corridor building is not Longtan Tiger's Den, you can always find the best of both worlds
Chen Zongzhi, Chen Run'er and several other Chen children all stood behind Chen Caozhi to watch the excitement, Run'er's eyes smiled into crescent moons, and their expressions were full of interest. ”
Liu Wu was shrewd and said: "This is the courtesy of the servants to Lang Jun, and the lady has never heard of it." Liu Wu took this matter on his own head, and he couldn't let Daoyun Niangzi bear the reputation of competing for favor, anyway, on the night of the kiss, each was his master, and no one could blame them for these subordinates. The same is true for the short hoe.
Chen Caozhi said: "You each go upstairs and ask your lady, the groom is here, where to go, it is up to your lady to decide." ”
The catkins and the short hoes all laughed, and went upstairs separately to ask their own mothers, and soon came back, "The second maid's reply was almost the same: "My lady asks Lang Jun to make her own decisions, if you are willing to go east to the east, and if you want to go west, you will go west."
Chen Caozhi's forehead is sweating, the test, the harsh test, this marriage is really not something that ordinary people can bear, the two big gates, the two beautiful wives, to treat everyone equally, fair and fair, the best of both worlds, all happy, difficult, too difficult, it, you are reluctant!
Rao is Chen Caozhi is wise, and he keeps motivating himself in his heart, but he is still at a loss, at this time, his lovely niece gives him advice: "Uncle Ugly, you can ask two difficult questions for the two Ugly Uncle and Aunt to solve, and whoever answers correctly will go up to the first floor." ”
Liu Wu, because of the wind first agreed, Dao Yun Niangzi is arrogant in the world, how can Lu Xiaoniang be able to compete, try this, that Dao Yun Niangzi won one by one
Short hoes, hairpins they are not to be outdone, in their eyes, the little lady is beautiful, talented, afraid of who comes!
Chen Caozhi laughed, Run'er's method is not very proper, and he is a little disrespectful to Xuan Rui and Dao Yun, especially if he loses, he will be very aggrieved, and this method is obviously unfair to Wei Rui, Xuan Rui is not good at learning, just like flowers can't compare the weight with beautiful jade, but the method proposed by Run'er seems to be very feasible if it is reversed
Run'er obviously realized this, so she changed her words: "This method is a little inappropriate, you can change it to the ugly aunt in the face to make the question, let my ugly uncle answer, and if you answer correctly, you will go to the first floor and ten."
Chen Caozhi smiled, this kind of cave room candle night is very interesting and tasteful.
Liu Fu's mind turned quickly and asked, "What if Chen Langjun answers correctly?" ”
Run'er smiled and said, "Then ask the question again, there will always be a time when my ugly uncle can't answer." I thought: "The two ugly uncles must come out of the easiest question for the ugly uncle to answer, the ugly uncle is naturally the answer is fluent, and now the question is answered round after round, I don't know when to answer, what should I do when it is dawn?" This should be the biggest problem Uncle Ugly has encountered in his life, hehe, it's so fun, wait and see. ”
Seeing that Chen Caozhi recognized this method, the short hoe preemptively said: "Little maid, let's go and ask my little lady to ask the question for ten."
Liu Fu and the two maids looked at each other, did not move, and thought to themselves, let Lu Xiaoniang solve the question first, she is Mrs. Zuo, we pay attention to the post-production one by one
The short hoe gasped and went up to the second floor of the Xishuang Corridor Building, and the little girls asked her one by one: "Sister Short hoe, has Chen Langjun come to our side?" ”
The short hoe didn't have time to answer them, and entered Lu Weirui's wedding room, but seeing the red candle with a high fever, and the layout was gorgeous, Lu Weirui sat motionless in front of the small case as before, and listened to the words of the short hoe, Lu Weirui said a sentence on the corner of her lips, smiled silently, and said in her heart: "It's really embarrassing for Chen Lang, or I'll take a step back." "Thinking that Chunyue and Chen Lang were in this west building and in this room last year, naked and lingering, upside down with Lang, leaning over and enjoying themselves......
Lu Weirui reached out and stroked her right ankle, the red silk acacia knot was tied at the twist above the ankle bone, and the red mole was faintly tattooed one by one
Seeing that the little lady was shy and pondering, the short hoe thought that she wanted to come up with a question, and reminded: "Little lady, come up with an easy question, just ask, 'Guan Guan Suidove, in the river island, what is the reason, how?' ”
Lu Weirui came back to her senses from the charming past, her heart was fluttering, she almost laughed out loud when she heard the proposal of the short hoe, and said coquettishly: "You should be a three-year-old child Chen Langjun, and you will make the people of Xie Mansion laugh at us with such a question." ”
The short hoe doesn't like to read, and since he was a child, he only likes to follow Lu Weirui to play with flowers and plants, and he was surprised when he heard the words; "Then come up with a slightly difficult question, Chen Langjun is talented, and he will definitely be able to answer it." added another sentence: "Don't be too difficult, it's not good if Chen Langjun can't answer!" ”
Lu Weirui smiled slightly, but did not answer, today is her twenty-first birthday, and it is an auspicious time for the newlywed, of course she really wants Chen Caozhi to spend a good night with her, but since she wants to serve a husband with Sister Daoyun, of course, she must try to think about Chen Lang as much as possible, and tonight will fulfill Chen Lang and Sister Daoyun.
Lu Weirui thought about it, ordered the short hoe to open the box and take out the gilt nine links, and said: "Short hoe, take the Yi nine links to Chen Langjun to untie, and you can untie them within a moment." "Ahh The short hoe was taken aback, this kind of nine-link is a puzzle game for the pastime of the woman in the boudoir, it is extremely complicated, how can it be solved at a moment, isn't this embarrassing Chen Langjun! Lu Weirui hesitated with a giant hoe, and then said: "It's okay, go ahead, Chen Langjun knows my mind." ”
Seeing that Lu Weirui was so determined, the short hoe thought: "The little lady is determined." Dao Chen Langjun is good at solving the nine chains, which is why this problem comes out, so he is embarrassed to come up with an easy question on the Xie family's side, maybe it will stump Chen Langjun. Immediately, Lezizi went downstairs.
Chen Caozhi was stunned when he saw the exquisitely made gilt nine rings, this kind of nine links people who don't know the solution can't solve it for a few days, even if they know the solution, every order can't be wrong, if you make a mistake, you have to start again, it is said that there are hundreds of steps, where is it enough in a quarter of an hour!
Chen Caozhi once read Zhuo Wenjun's "Poems of Resentful Lang": "The seven-stringed piano is played unintentionally, the eight-line book cannot be passed on, the nine links are broken from it, and the ten-mile long pavilion wants to wear it" knows that the nine links have been circulated in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is a game that aristocratic women like, but he has never seen the nine links before, and has only seen the five links played by Run'er in the early years
Run'er on the side is also the boss with her eyes wide open, she never thought that Uncle Ugly's Aunt Lu would come up with such a difficult question, and there is no solution within a moment, does Uncle Ugly have a way? Chen Caozhi understood what Wei Rui meant, which clearly meant that he was going to push him to the East Corridor Dao Yun. All the women watched quietly.
Chen Caozhi carefully looked at the gilded nine rings in his hand, his hand shook slightly, and the nine rings on the ruyi-shaped frame "jingled", which was very crisp
Chen Caozhi shook the nine chains and listened to the sound, and those servants of the Lu Mansion were anxious for him, and they wanted to remind him to hurry up and untie the chains, but Chen Caozhi shook and played for a while and said, "I can't solve it." "Ahh The short hoe, hairpin and others were suddenly dumbfounded, and their faces became sad.
Liu Wu and Yin Feng glanced at each other, forcibly hiding their joy, Liu Wu said: "Chen Langjun, then it's time for my lady to solve the problem." Chen Caozhi nodded, and said in his heart: "Let's solve the problem, come up with the problem, and embarrass me as much as you like."
Liu Fu went up to the east building, and said to Xie Daoyun diligently that Chen Caozhi couldn't solve the matter of the nine links, and now as long as Daoyun Niangzi comes up with a slightly easier question, Chen Langjun answers, then it can be with Daoyun Niangzi's cave room one by one
Xie Daoyun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then her cheeks were blurred, she knew that Lu Weirui was deliberately letting her, but how could this kind of thing be easy to let go, how could she bear it! Xie Daoyun fell into deep thought......
At the entrance of the inner courtyard, the short hoe, hairpin and others refused to disperse, Chen Caozhi did not answer Lu Weirui's question, but it was on behalf of Lu Weirui's failure, which really made the short hoe depressed and unwilling, they wanted to see what question the lady of the Xie family came up with, if it was easy, they would definitely laugh and get angry
After a while, Liu Wu came, presented Chen Cao with a piece of rattan horn paper, saying that this was the question of Dao Yun's lady, Chen Caozhi looked at the lantern light, it was Dao Yun's beautiful handwriting, and wrote: "I don't know how many things are there today, the remaining two of the three or three numbers, the remaining three of the five or five numbers, and the remaining two of the seven and seven numbers, ask the geometry of the things?" Liu Wu added: "The lady said, there must be a clear solution, just say one answer is not enough." ”
Chen Caozhi shook his head again and again, he had expected that the arrogant Dao Yun was unwilling to accept Wei Rui's concession, Dao Yun's problem, if you don't want to solve the steps, then you can solve it by stupid methods, but to solve it step by step, this seems to be the remaining theorem of higher mathematics in later generations, although Chen Caozhi is talented and works hard to learn, but after all, he is not an omniscient all-rounder, so he can't solve Xie Daoyun's problem! At this moment, the servants of Lu and Xie who were present were all dumbfounded, and the groom in the two cave rooms couldn't enter!
Chen Caozhi looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "That's it, that's it, I'll go back to my small building to sleep." Turning around and leaving, he had a small library building in the south of the East Garden, with a study and a bedroom
Run'er didn't look good, Uncle Ugly's cave room was going to break up unhappily on the night of candles, and hurriedly went back to the "Water Pavilion" with her brother Chen Caozhi to report this to her mother, Ding Youwei heard it, and she was also anxious, she was worried that Xiaolang's matter would not be handled well, so she hurried to the east and west corridors to coordinate one by one-
In order to write Chen Caozhi's wedding, the trail is to shake the spirit, with a pen, but also thick and colorful, twists and turns, if you look at it in one go, it is very wonderful and refreshing, but the trail is slow, as you can see, the code is so bothersome with words, so, please encourage a lot, don't blame the trail for slow updates, thank you.!
