Ye Mingming, who returned home in disappointment, returned home and saw that his father was in the living room, so he said in a complaining tone: "Dad, the child has already said that the kid won't appreciate it!" ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the side and put the folding fan on the table, revealing a gloomy face.

It was Ye Mengxin who was sitting in the middle of the hall, who was more than forty years old but was fat and round, and his face was full of red light, which was enough to show that this person had a deep understanding of health preservation.

After Ye Mengxin listened to his son's complaints, he was not annoyed by this, nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be so decisive, but this is also expected by my father!" ”

"If you expected it, why did you let the child touch this mold? I also asked the child to prepare two couplets to explore the wind, but now it's good, the praised couplets are not accepted, and the humiliating couplets not only failed to humiliate him in public, but your son is a commotion! ”

As soon as Ye Mingming thought of being humiliated in public, he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, this feeling of being turned against the army was really aggrieved.

Ye Meng's novice had a string of Buddha beads in his hand, twisted it gently, and sighed: "It's just that my father didn't expect that in two years, this son not only turned over, but this wit is surprising!" ”

When Ye Mingming went to congratulate him, he had already sent his servants to follow him, so he had already learned about it before Ye Mingming returned. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be so complacent.

"Dad, since that kid doesn't know how to lift, why should we be bored! Although he has turned over now, how can my Ye family be afraid of him? ”

"My Ye family deals in tea and porcelain, and I don't have anything to worry about if I don't walk with Ye Yu's kid! It's just that Zhi'er should know that your cousin is a person who will repay him, and now that he is growing in wings, he should not be underestimated, so it is better to be careful! ”

A reminder reminded Ye Mingming of the past, and suddenly felt that what his father said was quite reasonable.

Back then, because of a young woman, the two of them fought in the city 'Xianyunju' regardless of their brotherhood. It is precisely because of this incident that the two have many conflicts on weekdays.

However, Ye Mingming felt that his father was too worried, so he said: "Dad, you are too worried!" Although the child doesn't know why that kid can climb up to the two adults of Tongju and Zhizhou, he doesn't have to take that kid to heart! ”

"Maybe it's because I'm worried about my father, let's wait and see what happens!"

……

At this moment, Ye Yu didn't have the heart to pay attention to the thoughts of the father and son, and planned to return to Qingliu County as soon as possible, but it coincided with the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so he decided to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to go back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month. Night has just fallen, on the street, look around, only to see the lights outside the door of every house, dazzling, bright as day.

There is a constant flow of men and women in the streets. Seventy or eighty-year-old people with crutches in their hands, and seven or eight-year-old naughty children jumping around, all came to enjoy the lanterns.

There are thousands of kinds of lamps, and there are all kinds of people. Ye Yu has not seen such a lively scene for a long time, sitting in a wheelchair, accompanied by She Dongcheng and Su Yueyun, wandering around the lively street market.

Before they knew it, the three of them came to the most prosperous street in the city - Yongshu Street

Speaking of this street name, it has quite a history, when the writer Ouyang Xiu once served as the Taishou of Chuzhou, leaving a lot of scenic spots and historic sites that future generations talk about.

In addition to the Drunken Man Pavilion on Langya Mountain, people remember the "Drunkard Pavilion" that has been passed down through the ages, and the Yongshu Street in Chuzhou City is the nostalgia for Ouyang Xiu, because 'Yongshu' is Ouyang Xiu's word.

Yongshu Street was crowded with people, and the lanterns stretched far along the street, and Ye Yu couldn't see the edge when he was sitting in a wheelchair. Although Su Yueyun on the side was very happy and looking around, she was not like the women in the market who were laughing and laughing casually.

Ye Yu glanced at Su Yueyun, and then said with a smile: "Yueyun, if you like any lantern, you must tell me!" ”

"Hmm!"

"You, you, if Qiulan was here, she must have already cheered! Tell me, I like that lamp, I bought it for you! Ye Yu saw that Su Yueyun was still a little reserved, so he pretended to be displeased.

Su Yueyun was a little embarrassed when Ye Yu said this.

Besides, there is a comparison mentality in women's nature, and now that Ye Yu compares her with Qiulan, she puffs out her cheeks, points to the lotus lamp not far away, and says, "Then I want that lotus lamp!" ”

"Good! Let's go! Ye Yu looked in the direction Su Yueyun pointed, and sure enough, he saw a finely crafted lotus lamp hanging on the lamp shop not far away, so he motioned to She Dongcheng to push the wheelchair over.

When Ye Yu came to the near place, these lanterns not only came in different colors, but the most consistent thing was that there were notes on the lamps, on which many lantern riddles were written.

The lotus lantern that Su Yueyun wanted to buy had a total of eight petals, seven of which had seven limerick poems written on them in turn, but the last petal was blank.

The vendor of the lamp shop saw that Ye Yu and the others were interested in buying lamps, so he said earnestly: "If this son wants to buy lamps for beautiful women, this lotus lamp is the most suitable!" ”

Seeing Ye Yuduan looking at the poems on the lotus lantern, he continued: "Of course, if you guess this lantern riddle, my lotus lantern will be given to Gongzi!" ”

"Oh? Wouldn't you lose money? Ye Yu played with the lotus lantern in his hand, and then handed the lotus lantern to Su Yueyun.

Su Yueyun took the lotus lantern, played with the lantern very curiously, saw that there was a poem on each lamp leaf, and then turned the lantern around, and after she finished reading these seven poems, she was still happy and suddenly became a little shy.

The lotus lantern has eight petals, but only one petal is left blank, which is obviously intentional by the questioner, because the final mystery should be written on the empty lotus petals.

"Mandarin ducks play in pairs in the water, butterflies fly and love flowers. I have thousands of tenderness, who can I be with in this life. Waiting for the fate to meet, enjoy spring, summer and autumn and winter. The memories of past lives remain in my heart......"

The seven lines of the poem are easy to read, leaving the last sentence unwritten, Ye Yufang felt that this riddle was quite interesting after reading it.

The vendor smiled and responded: "The shop naturally won't do loss-making business, but if you choose to guess the lantern riddle, don't guess the lantern riddle, if you can't guess it, you have to buy the lantern double!" ”

"Oh, I see, that's a good idea!"

"Does that boy buy a lamp, or guess a lantern riddle?"

Ye Yu smiled heartily: "Since you just said that you will give a beautiful woman, wouldn't it be valuable if you bought it?" ”

When she heard that Ye Yu was going to guess the lantern riddle, Su Yueyun's eyebrows were full of joy. Although this riddle is a little difficult to solve, Su Yueyun is also a woman who reads poetry and books, and she guessed the answer to the riddle after pondering for a while.

On the surface, each sentence is affectionate, but each sentence is embedded with a word, so if the seven lines of poetry are attributed to seven words, the string is not only the last line of the poem, but also the answer to this riddle.

Taking the lantern handed back by Su Yueyun, Ye Yu picked up the brush on the side and wrote a poem on the blank petals of the lotus lamp: "Love is long-lasting!" ”

Mandarin ducks playing in the water are for love; Butterflies fly double for casting; Tenderness is for the sake of meaning; With whom to commune is to be one; Waiting for fate to meet is for the sky; Spring, summer, autumn and winter, is for long; The memory of the past life is for a long time!

Seven words in one sentence is: love and affection for a long time.

When Ye Yu handed over the lantern to Su Yueyun, he didn't care too much about it, and continued to move forward in a wheelchair.

For Ye Yu, because he was too busy in the past two years, he didn't give anything to the woman in front of him, and he inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart. Now that the lantern season is in season, since the beautiful woman is interested in this lantern, how can he not achieve what she wants?

Ye Yu didn't pay attention, but it didn't mean that Su Yueyun wouldn't care. This affectionate lotus lantern makes her heart full of honey at the moment. Following behind Ye Yu, he couldn't help but smile sweetly while carrying his beloved lotus lantern.

At this time, the crowd was slow and orderly, and the market suddenly had a rapid chaos. Ye Yu watched the people wandering around him running in one direction, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. After inquiry, I learned that a lantern contest had been held in the middle of the street.

"Yueyun, why don't we go and take a look at this Lantern Conference?"

Ye Yu suddenly became interested in this lantern competition, he had only heard of the lantern viewing conference for a long time, and it was all some literati and scholars who danced and guessed lantern riddles. Nowadays, this conference is more than a lamp rather than a literary style, but it makes people feel ingenious.

Su Yueyun was overjoyed at first, but then she was disappointed and said: "It's a pity that we didn't prepare the lanterns in advance, otherwise we could have participated in it!" ”

"Let's go! Let's see what's so special about the lanterns in this competition......"

A few people followed the crowd to the middle of the street, and when Ye Yu and the others came, there was already a sea of people around, a hundred times more lively than the place they passed, and hundreds of lanterns illuminated this place as if it were daytime.

Ye Yu raised his eyes and saw a high platform in the middle of the street, and it was Zhizhou Yue Lin who was sitting in the middle, and there were four judges sitting side by side around him. Ye Yu looked at this formation, and immediately understood, it seems that Lord Zhizhou wants to have fun with the people.

The whole lantern comparison process is divided into three levels, the first level of screening, is to select the characteristic lanterns; In the second stage of screening, those who are different from the crowd can be shortlisted, and the last stage is judged by four people on the stage.

Although Ye Yu was standing on the periphery, his position was much higher than elsewhere, so he could roughly see the situation in the field.

After two rounds of screening, there were only five people who entered the final level, and one of them, Ye Yu, knew Ye Mingming, who was outside the door of the dyeing workshop that day, giving couplets.

Ye Mingming is mentioning a 'four-hoof wind flying horse lantern' at the moment, the whole lamp shape is like a horse running, and under the foil of the lamp, it looks like a living thing.

There is also a woman who mentioned 'phoenix wearing peony lamp', and the peony looks extremely charming under the light of the lamp.

The other three are: Monkey Tree Lantern, Hundred Flower Lantern, and Fushou Lantern, although they are quite distinctive but have no new ideas.
