085 Boundless Falling Wood
The moon has not risen, and the sky is full of stars.
After Su You sent Lai Yanbei home, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly sat back in the carriage.
The carriage stopped again, and Su You, accompanied by Xiao Jiu, walked towards the door of Taibai Building. He hadn't been to this Taibai Mansion for a long time to drink, and perhaps the last one could be traced back to the first snow last winter, when he returned drunk that night and met Hou Junji on the way.
At this moment, Su You entered the door of Taibai Building, and when he saw "Will Enter the Wine" on the huge shadow wall, he couldn't help but sigh a little.
What is the pride of life? When can I have fun?
Half a year ago, Su You was the shopkeeper here, and he had the final say, at that time he had no intention of career, he just wanted to be drunk and dream of death. But Yang Er naturally pushed him to the imperial court, and when he had the heart to change the world with his own invention, he became the emperor's celebrity.
"When you can't have it, the only thing you have to do is make sure you don't forget it." ββFor the days of Taibai Building, Su You remembered it vividly; But Taibai Lou is for him, he may just be a passer-by, or a passerby.
"Mr. Su, are you here? His Royal Highness is in Fengluxuan. A young man in the hall obviously knew Su You, and when he saw Su You coming in, he hurriedly bent down and nodded his head to be courteous.
"Okay, thanks, I'll go over myself." Su You nodded, and hurried towards Feng Luxuan, and Xiao Jiu also followed quickly; The young man nodded, he always felt that Su You's politeness was a little unreasonable, but every time he heard others say thank you, he still inevitably felt fluttering, at least he felt that his efforts had won the respect of others.
This is destined to be a late appointment, King Qi's post is really a bit urgent, but it's better to be late than never. After Su You sent Yanbei home, he got an invitation letter from the King of Qi, but the moment he received the letter, he already had a premonition that there was no good feast, and the theme of today's banquet was nothing more than to part, just to part.
How hard are you going? The feast is over!
"Yokoba, come into the table, you're finally late for once." Yang Er, who was sitting in the chief, saw Su You open the curtain and enter, and hurriedly raised his hand to greet him, the position under him was obviously reserved for Su You, and for the contribution made to the newspaper, Su You sat in that position is also expected.
"Su You delayed a little time for mundane things, but I didn't expect that there would be a traffic jam on Dingding Street so late." Su You hurriedly raised his hand to apologize, like all latecomers in later generations, he immediately thought of the most lame excuse such as traffic jams.
"Since Hengbo is late, he should be punished with three glasses of wine, well, drunk and dreaming of death." Zu Junyan was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he casually coaxed.
"yes, Yokoba should drink and apologize." Several people also echoed one after another, and Su You had no choice but to drink three cups in a row on an empty stomach, and toasted Yang Er with another glass.
"Where did our liquor order go? Why don't we play two more rounds? Yang Er responded to Su You's toast, and although he was a little tired, he still tried to maintain the demeanor of a chairman.
"Ah......" Su You heard that they were carrying out the wine order, and the pastries he was eating almost choked him, every time he encountered a banquet of literati, he always used other methods to preemptively nip the wine order in the bud to avoid embarrassment, but this time it was obviously not possible, is this the punishment for being late? Isn't it possible for you to be late in the future?
When Su You was about to escape this drinking order on the grounds that he was too tired, he heard Liu Shanjing say, "Hengbo came in just now, and it was my turn, so now it's up to me to embarrass the latecomer." My riddle is: 'Draw the time is round, write the time square, the winter time is short, and the summer time is long.' 'Or type. β
"Charades?" Su You listened to Liu Shanjing's words, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this charade is better than doing instant poems or something, in fact, he has already searched in his mind for those poems about the starry night.
"yes, charade, you still have two drums to spare." When everyone heard Su You's question, they hurriedly reminded him, but this was obviously too exaggerated, and what Su You heard was only that Liu Shanjing, the mystery solver, was tapping the wine cup with his halberd.
"This riddle, Liu Shanjing is deliberately making a simple help for me?" After Su You confirmed that it was a charade, he asked Liu Shanjing to say the question again, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, and he also knew Liu Shanjing's intentions.
However, although Su You has always been introverted and low-key, he is high-profile and domineering when he does things.
"Stop! I already have it. Su You first shouted to stop Liu Shanjing's light knocking, paused, and finally shook his head and chanted Wang Bo's famous sentence, "'Boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiao, endless Yangtze River rolling', my answer is in this previous poem." β
"Brother Liu's answer is day." Zu Junyan was not used to Su You's grandiose appearance, and directly pointed out Liu Shanjing's answer. In fact, everyone present basically guessed Liu Shanjing's simple riddle, but in view of the fact that Su You had just entered the table, it was reasonable for the riddle to be so simple.
"The answer to the cross wave is also the day." Sun Shan also shook his head, and raised a drink to Su You to celebrate, and Xue Daoheng also raised a glass to Su You, obviously everyone present was the most talented and agile in terms of the two of them.
"Oh, that's interesting." Yang Er nodded, not knowing what he meant by this nod.
"The poem Hengbo itself is very meaningful, and it is even more clever to use it as a riddle, but if you master the keyword, the mystery will be clear at a glance." Xue Daoheng saw Yang Er nodding, and immediately began to explain, seeing that everyone was still confused, he continued, "Everyone may have been led astray by the word 'Xiao Xiao' in Hengbo's verses, in fact, this Xiao Xiao can also refer to the surnames of two successive dynasties. β
"The Qi and Liang in the Southern Dynasty Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen are both Xiao Dynasty, so 'Xiao Xiaoxia' is naturally the Chen Dynasty." Sun Shan smiled and took Xue Daoheng's words.
"Boundless falling wood, that is, to remove the word Chen, to the wood, there is only one word left 'day', wonderful!" Yang Er was also overjoyed to hear Sun Shan's explanation, and he spoke out to annotate Su You's answer and toasted to the latter again.
"Wonderful! Hengbo is really called an anagram, and tonight it will not be in vain. Everyone listened to King Qi's admiration, and they were all fascinated by Su You's answer for a while, and they all raised their glasses to celebrate.
"I also have an anagram, and I have to be embarrassed." Wang Zhen looked at Su You in the limelight for a while, and of course he had to throw out the anagram that he had already thought of in a timely manner, but since he had Su You's excellent performance, everyone was embarrassed by Su You and only smiled lightly, and this kind of fake and false began to win the encouragement and support of everyone present.
"Xiaoyi dares to embarrass Su You, isn't he afraid of Su You's retaliation?" This kind of fake and real scene made Su You quickly get used to it, and hurriedly responded. He originally had such an awareness, this kind of gentleman's verbal action, it can't be stopped, it's better to be sparse than to block it.
"Listen to the horizontal waves, my riddle is: 'Fireflies fall into spring water, and the sunset falls. Acacia heart words into ashes. The sound of horses' hooves is frenzied, and the autumn colors are red. Wang Zhen chanted the riddle word by word, and everyone fell into contemplation for a while, or immersed in the artistic conception of these four different verses, or tried to think about the riddle.
"Xiaoyi's riddle is a bit difficult, and I can't even solve the first sentence if it's obscure." Du Ruhui shook his head first, obviously because he was upset by Su You.
"In fact, the first sentence is difficult to understand, and after solving the first sentence, the answer is about to come out." Wang Zhen nodded and stroked her beard.
"Is the first sentence a 'grass' word?" When Su You heard him say this, he suddenly realized.
"Day? Grass? Yang Er shook his head, looking a little incredulous at Su You's answer to the first problem; Wang Zhen listened to Su You's question, but couldn't help but nodded, obviously Su You's answer was correct.
"Legend has it that the firefly is transformed by grass, so the word firefly can be used as the word "flower", and the word "spring water" is the word "flower" disappears, and there is only one word "grass" left." Su You half replied to Yang Erban to ask Wang Zhen, and after the latter nodded, he continued, "Three or four sentences are not difficult," the sunset word takes out the oblique point, the word thinks to go to the heart, and the horse's hoof takes the hoof, which can form the word fish; The autumn color is red and does not return, so naturally it is to go to the fire and leave 'He', so well, the mystery is Su You's Su character, it seems that Xiaoyi really planned it in order to embarrass Su You. β
"Wang Zhen has admired you since then." Wang Zhen heard Su You solve his riddles one by one, stood up and drank a cup first, but he did not deny Su You's last sentence of depression.
"Transverse waves, rippling! Heng wave, mighty! Everyone listened to Su You's wonderful explanation, and at this time, not only shouted in their mouths, but also clasped wine cups in their hands. Su You was very happy, fortunately, he had seen the allusion about "grass turning into fireflies" before, and it seemed that playing this riddle was more tiring than chanting poetry; The riddle is a two-player battle, and the bard is just a struggle with one's own memory.
"Haha, thank you, but, Xiaoyi, I haven't said to let you go yet." Su You half-jokingly responded to everyone's compliments, and he already had an anagram in his heart.
"This ...... Then please ask the cross-wave question. Wang Zhen first cried and pretended to be in trouble, and then her face finally changed to look like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Su You saw that he looked at death as home, and after struggling in his heart for a fraction of a second, he still decisively told his riddle.
