Chapter 10: The King of Kings I
At the beginning of the lanterns, the moon is full of branches.
Bianjing City under the cover of night is particularly lively, especially to catch up with the Roselle Festival, every household puts up lanterns, each lantern must be attached to a simple lantern riddle, neighbors guess each other's lantern riddles, exchange a dowry between each other, so lively.
Miaogelou was already full of friends at this time, and the people who worked hard for the day were pushing glasses and changing lamps on the table, and the shopkeeper was shuttling between the wine tables, and he was very busy. Only an old wooden round table near the window on the second floor was still vacant, but it was already full of good wine and food.
Those who are familiar with this place know that this is a private seat reserved for the most distinguished guests, and it has already been booked by large households. However, people don't care which nobleman is so bold, in Bianjing, there are many high-ranking and powerful people like ants. Listening to Wang Daxian's jokes, isn't it much more comfortable than spending this leisure?
Wang Daxian still looks like a river and lake, telling anecdotes about the rivers and lakes that he heard from nowhere. In fact, Wang Daxian was also messing around, his eyes glancing at the Eight Immortals table by the window from time to time, a little absent-minded. The people sitting in that seat were naturally Tang An and Cheng nerds.
Wang Daxian couldn't figure it out, this kid obviously didn't know Cheng Nerd just now, why did the two of them talk so speculatively like long-lost brothers in a short period of time?
"Therefore, the word lantern riddle is mysterious. As long as Childe speculates carefully, there is an answer between the lines. Tang An looked like everyone, and said leisurely to Cheng Nerd, who looked like a primary school student on the other side, "If I don't come up with another question, Childe guesses: Draw the time round, write the time square, the winter time is short, and the summer time is long, what is this word?" ”
After listening to Tang An's theory, the nerd threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that he admired. This can't be said that Cheng Gongzi is stupid, it's just that Tang An is too familiar with guessing riddles. In his previous life, he was a salesman, and he was torn between all kinds of people, so he naturally had to do what he liked all kinds of guests, and this guessing puzzle was an icebreaker whether it was a wine field or a girl chasing beauty, so Tang An really worked hard in this regard.
Cheng Gongzi frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I'm stupid, I still can't think of it." ”
Tang An smiled and said, "This is the word 'day'. ”
It's round when it's drawn, and it's square when it's written, the days are short in winter and long in summer, so what is it if it's not a Japanese character? Cheng Gongzi patted his leg and said, "Wonderful! Brother Tang is really a master, good day, good day! ”
Good two words, why do these words come out of this fat man's mouth, and there is always a ** smell?
"In fact, everything is the same, and once you master the trick, the puzzles will become easier." Tang An looked out the window and frowned, "Why hasn't this rotten bamboo come yet?" It's not a word at all. ”
"Brother Tang, don't worry, let's prepare more, so that he can suffer a dumb loss." That Cheng Gongzi took a sip of tea and said, "But looking at this day, it's almost time to arrive." ”
Looking at the gaze in Cheng Gongzi's eyes that only idiots have, Tang An secretly scolded himself: Waste my lips and tongue for half a day, and I can't guess such an idiot's puzzle. If you hadn't touched me, you would have been doomed to lose for another three days and three nights according to your IQ.
"Tianzi on the second floor, Cheng Gongzi has arrived!"
As he was muttering, the shopkeeper sang loudly and slowly led the group up to the second floor. Walking in the front, isn't it Lan Qingzhu who humiliated Tang An during the day?
Lan Qingzhu changed into a dark red robe at this time, his face was like a crown of jade, and his bearing was extraordinary, if he didn't know his character, it would be easy to be impressed by his appearance, but he didn't know that this person was golden and jade, and he was ruined. In addition to him, there were five other people, except for the slave called Liuzi during the day, Tang An didn't know any of the others.
Seeing Lan Qingzhu appear, Cheng Caihe's face stiffened, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist, for fear of falling into his majesty, obviously quite nervous.
He turned his head and saw Tang An's suspicious face, and pointed to those people and introduced them one by one: "The one who walked in front was Lan Qingzhu, the tall and thin person behind him was called Li Ziyou, who was his dog-headed military advisor, and the two people behind him were called Duan Chun and Zhang Xu, all of whom were his dogs, and Chang Zijing, the one at the back!" This bastard actually dealt with me with Wang Balan! In vain, Lao Tzu treats him well on weekdays! ”
Tang An couldn't help but want to snicker, with the means of you idiot, you still want to buy people's hearts? But this ancient person really can't be underestimated, he knows undercover and anti-undercover at a young age.
As soon as Lan Qingzhu and his party went up to the second floor, they immediately became the focus of everyone, and even Wang Daxian was silent. Many of the diners knew this little overlord and knew his bad deeds, so they couldn't help but get up and stand up and sneak downstairs.
As soon as a few tables of people left, the second floor instantly became deserted, and even the rest of the people deliberately lowered their voices when they talked, no longer the excitement just now.
Lan Qingzhu looked around, recognized the fat-headed and big-eared Cheng Caihe at a glance, and said with a smile: "Cheng nerd, have you waited for a long time?" Let's say okay, a lantern riddle is ten taels of silver, but don't even lose my pants. ”
"Phew, it's up to you? If you want to win Lao Tzu, you don't have to weigh how many pounds and taels you have! Cheng Cai and the urn scolded, completely losing the "elegant" appearance that he had deliberately created just now.
Lan Qingzhu didn't care, laughed twice, and just wanted to say a few more sarcastic words, but saw that there was still a person sitting next to Cheng Caihe. If you look closely, who is the beggar who scolded himself as a dog during the day?
"It's you Hanako again!" As soon as he saw him, Lan Qingzhu was angry, "This kind of place can also be used by people like you?" ”
"Lan Qingzhu, don't use your young master's shelf to oppress people, could it be that this Miaoge Building is opened by your family, only you can come, and others can't come? Others are afraid of you 'little overlord', but I'm not afraid of Cheng Caihe! Cheng Nerd opened his voice and said, pointing to Tang An next to him, "Brother Tang is my guest, it's best to speak politely!" ”
Tang An glanced at Cheng Caihe in surprise, he didn't expect this fat man to be quite righteous!
"Brother Lan, did you have a holiday with this person?" The dog-headed military advisor named Li Ziyou behind him asked.
"It's a small thing, it's not worth mentioning." Lan Qingzhu's face sank, as if he remembered the unpleasant experience during the day, sneered, and said: "It's really people who gather like and things who are grouped, this beggar and the nerd seem to be a natural pair." ”
"Haha, Brother Lan has witty words, and the description is indeed appropriate!" A bunch of doglegs laughed like they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Laugh ass!" Cheng Caihe slapped the table, pointed to a few people opposite and said angrily: "Lan Qingzhu, let me ask you, let's guess the lantern riddle between the two of us, what do you mean by bringing so many people?" And you - Chang Zijing, you know what Lao Tzu is doing to you, drink wine and eat meat to find some knowledge, and spend a lot of money on Lao Tzu, you can do it well, turn around and deal with Lao Tzu with the surname Lan, do you still have a conscience? ”
Tang An couldn't help but want to snicker, but fortunately, Cheng Cai and the precipice reined in and didn't say "fun". It seems that this nerd is not so stupid.
When Chang Zijing was said by him, he bowed his head slightly, obviously weak-hearted. Lan Qingzhu waved his hand and said, "Cheng nerd, your Cheng family is so majestic, and Brother Chang is not someone from you, do you have to report to you if you make friends with someone?" Besides, I only said to guess riddles with you, but I didn't say that I can't bring my friends to watch, is it possible that you are afraid of being laughed at if you lose? ”
"Fart! Put your Lan family's dog stinky fart! Cheng Cai's face was red, but he didn't know how to refute it, although the two made a bet, they really didn't say that they couldn't find a helper.
"Brother Cheng, don't be angry, what if you are angry and stupid?" Seeing that he was angry, Lan Qingzhu said with a smile, and pointed at Tang An again, "What's more, didn't you also find a 'helper'?" ”
Everyone followed his fingers, but saw that his "helper" was in rags, with a yellow face and thin muscles, knowing that this was satirizing Cheng Caihe, they couldn't help laughing, and Cheng Caihe would only say "fart" with all his strength.
was ridiculed by a group of people, but Tang An, who was at the core of the storm, was leisurely, didn't even look at everyone, and said slowly: "Brother Cheng, don't be angry, isn't it a loss of grace to deal with some 'three no' villains?" ”
Lan Qingzhu's face was cold, although he didn't know what the "three noes" were, but he also knew that what came out of his mouth would not be anything good. But I was curious, and I couldn't help asking: "What are the 'three noes'?" ”
"Solving riddles and suspicions is a good thing, but some people have ulterior motives and have to gamble on it, which is not elegant; Originally, the two made an appointment, but for fear of losing face and momentum, they had to find someone to take a short shot, and they had to use some shady means to destroy the balance of the game, which was unfair; Cheating is not counted, but also verbal stimulation, in a vain attempt to make the other party angry and lose his inch, which is not confident. Tang An said with a smile, turned his head to look at Cheng Caihe, and said, "Brother Cheng, what are you afraid of such an unelegant, unjust, and unconfident person?" ”
Cheng Caihe regained face and was overjoyed, the more he looked at Tang An, the more pleasing he became. This kid's kung fu is really powerful, and he hurts people to see blood, but why does Young Master Ben like it so much!
"Exactly, Lan Qingzhu, is it not elegant, unfair, or something like you?"
"Not confident." Tang An said for him.
"Oh yes, a villain who is not confident, how can he be a rival with Ben Shao?" Cheng Caihe said arrogantly, "It's better to go home and wash and sleep, don't come out and be embarrassed." ”
Lan Qingzhu snorted coldly, and glanced at Tang An resentfully, but he knew that this person was very good at his words, and he couldn't get cheap if he continued to talk about it, so he said loudly: "Don't just move your mouth, let's see the real chapter under your hands." I'd like to see if I don't see you in a few days, and you idiot can still become a king. ”
Cheng Caihe snorted, and said arrogantly: "That's what I mean!" ”
