Chapter 1808: On the Yonghe Bridge
The sky is full of stars, and the stars are like rain.
On the long street of Jinling, all kinds of fireworks flickered with colorful light, accompanied by crisp laughter has been spreading, drifting, in the cool night, reflecting the stars in the sky.
Although the temple fair in Jinling is not a grand festival, there is no official participation, but it is also lively and exciting, and countless people who usually do not go out of their homes have taken steps tonight.
"Young master, there are so many people." Xiangling held a firework in her hand, flashing with white and silver light, and her small hand was raised, waving a bright and shining arc in front of and behind her.
Wei Qiao smiled, crowded in the crowd, watched the men and women in all kinds of costumes hurrying away, and said with a smile: "Well, tonight is very lively, is there anything particularly fun?" ”
"Yes, yes" Xiangling's big eyes lit up, and she said, "Go to Yonghe Bridge, it's the most lively there." ”
Wei Qiao snatched one from her hand, handed it to Wan'er, ignored her protests, turned to Wan'er and smiled, "What's so fun?" ”
Wan'er's little hand waved the fireworks on her chest, and she smiled with a slightly red smile: "Young master, there are riddles, lanterns, fighting poems and singing songs, all the talented and beautiful people are over there." ”
Where there are people, there is a lively look, Wei Qiao waved his hand and said, "Then let's go." ”
Xiangling jumped up, erecting the fireworks high, and the crisp laughter sprinkled all the way.
Not long after the crowd was crowded, Xiangling pointed to a long bridge not far away and laughed loudly, "Young master, that's Yonghe Bridge, you see, good people." ”
Wei Qiao looked up and saw that the painting boats in the river under the bridge were brightly lit, and there were sometimes beautiful women sitting on the bow of the boat, plucking the strings and making songs, chanting and singing. The red lanterns on the bridge were hung high, stretching to illuminate the way, and talented men and women gathered in front of them, frowning and contemplating, laughing and laughing. The attics on both sides are also as bright as day, and there is a high platform that is higher than half a person directly opposite, and people come and go, and people look forward to it.
Wei Qiao took the two little girls and walked up slowly.
It wasn't until the bridge that Wei Qiao glanced at it, but he was also quite surprised. The lanterns on both sides of the road are hung high, the colorful flags are fluttering, the lion dance and drumming in the middle of the road are playing, and the firecrackers are rumbling, just like a grand carnival scene.
"Young master, it's so lively." After watching it for a while, even Wan'er spoke softly.
Xiangling's little face was flushed and nodded again and again, looking at the talented women who were frowning and leaving from time to time around the red lanterns, Xiangling pulled Wei Qiao's sleeve and said, "Young master, let's go and have a look, I heard that if you guess correctly, there will be a reward." ”
"What's the reward?" Wei Qiao said with a smile, but the person had already walked towards the lantern.
Xiangling was overjoyed and said with a smile, "For example, the poems and paintings of the questioners, handkerchiefs, jade pendants, anyway, as long as you get the riddle of others, most people will have prizes." ”
Wei Qiao sighed, 'his heart was quite novel, and when he approached a lantern, he saw a vertical bar on it, white and black, which read: Don't forget the past. Remarks type a book title.
Xiangling stared at the four words with her eyes, as if she had a grudge against it, and for a long time, she turned her gaze to Wei Qiao.
Wan'er also looked at it for a while, pursed her lips and shook her head. They have been maids since they were children, and they have very little time to read, and even now, they don't have much time to read.
Wei Qiao thought for a while, smiled, and said, "It should be "Historical Records". ”
As soon as Wei Qiao's voice fell, an old man in cloth clothes came out from behind the lantern, in good spirits, looking at Wei Qiao with a smile and a smile, "This son is extraordinary, quick-witted, yes, the answer to this mystery is "Historical Records". As he spoke, the old man uncovered the puzzle just now and replaced it with another one.
Wei Qiao smiled faintly, thinking that this was not very difficult, and his eyes fell on the puzzle he had just pasted. I didn't want the old man, but he immediately smiled and said, "I can't guess this for the time being, but Childe can guess the next one." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and knew that this was probably the rule, so he nodded with a smile and turned around and walked to the next one.
"Hmph, I guessed it right, and I won't give a prize." The little girl deliberately muttered in front of the old man.
The old man touched his beard and smiled without saying a word.
Wei Qiao walked to a lantern again, only to see two talented scholars shaking their heads and sighing, turning around to leave, and when they saw him coming, they stood aside and looked at him.
Wei Qiao looked at it and saw that it was written: Monk worship Buddha, type a word.
Wei Qiao looked at the note, didn't say anything for a long time, and just when the few people on the side were about to leave, Wei Qiao said: "It's a bit of a brain teaser." ”
The few people who were about to leave immediately paused, and looked at him with strange expressions, obviously unable to understand the meaning of his words.
The old man in cloth looked puzzled, and said with a smile: "Childe can answer." ”
Wei Qiao turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "It should be 'take'." ”
When Wan'er heard this, she smiled lightly, this is indeed a bit simple, but it is not easy to think of if you can't get around the corner.
The old man nodded and smiled, took off the note, and said with a smile: "Childe can try the next one." ”
Wei Qiao also became a little interested, and walked to the next one, Xiangling muttered another word in front of the old man, but was pulled away by Wan'er.
Wei Qiao walked to the next lantern again, only to see that it was written: Lovesickness in two places, guess a word.
The handwriting is beautiful, and the pen is lingering.
There were already six or seven people around him, all staring at him, but they were also secretly thinking about the answer.
Wan'er and Xiangling also looked expectant, their eyes shining.
Wei Qiao pondered it carefully and said with a smile: "The word 'gui'." ”
"Yes, Acacia can't be seen, it is indeed five eyes, the two places are soil, and it is a 'gui' word."
"It's such a combination, no wonder I can't figure it out......"
"That's true, this brother is really talented, better than us."
"No, if you master the method, it's actually not difficult, this brother just happened to ......"
"Nonsense, if it happens, why can't I wait to meet ......"
"Hmph, that's your bad luck......"
The people behind Wei Qiao saw that he guessed it, and they all whispered about it. In the end, they quarreled and flocked to the next one.
"Childe try the next one." The old man tore off the anagram, replaced it with another one, and smiled at Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao didn't mean to be in the limelight, he shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, the anagram is due to interest, and there is no need to force it anymore." ”
The old man smiled, nodded and took out a jade plaque from his arms, and said: "Childe can see it, this jade plaque is a thing of the former Sui, and it can't be exchanged for much silver, but it is the best to decorate the courtyard." ”
Wei Qiao knew that there was such a rule, and the former Sui was only less than two hundred years away from here, and it was not a precious thing, Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, then took it, and said with a smile: "That junior is disrespectful." ”
The old man seemed to be very satisfied with Wei Qiao's attitude, smiled, turned away, and continued to tear up the guessed anagram and replace it with a new one.
Wei Qiao glanced down, and he couldn't feel good or bad when he touched his thumb, so he handed it to Xiangling casually and praised it, "Good performance, this reward is for you." ”
In fact, he was also curious about what the reward would be, but it was difficult to speak.
Xiangling immediately took it, lowered her head, and put it in her arms, her little face full of happiness. But obviously it wasn't because he was happy with Yu Pei, but because of Wei Qiao's praise.
Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled strangely.
"Fortune teller, according to the guess just now, it's the word 'servant', right, I just said, as long as you find a way, anyone can guess it!"
"Nonsense, this kind of guessing is also the first thing that others think of, picking up people's teeth and wisdom, so shameless!"
"Hmph, I picked up people's teeth, but I don't know he's not!"
"Why do you say he is!"
"Then why do you say he's not!"
Just now, a group of people around Wei Qiao had a violent argument in front of Wei Qiao's lantern, and the center of the argument was inexplicably Wei Qiao.
Those few people argued, naturally they couldn't come to a conclusion, so they went to the next lantern, some people wanted to prove that Wei Qiao was not picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and some people wanted to face Wei Qiao is coincidental and luck.
Wei Qiao and the three of them were blocked in the way, and they happened to watch the play with a smile.
"Meet Langjun in the cave."
"Okay, guess, you can guess according to the method just now!"
The few people standing on Wei Qiao's side immediately said with a smug face when they saw the anagram.
The person who was triumphant just now and didn't care about picking people's teeth turned red at this moment, staring at the anagram.
This time, no matter what the imagination and action were, I couldn't guess what the word was, my eyes flickered, and I just saw Wei Qiao and the three of them looking at them with a smile, and immediately their faces flashed with embarrassment, and they stepped forward to Wei Qiao and said: "As long as you guess this riddle, I will admit that you are quick and talented!" ”
This man was young, dressed in clothes that were not gorgeous but ordinary people could not wear, his face was slightly proud, and his chin was raised lightly when he spoke.
The others immediately gathered around, some with excitement on their faces, some with cynicism.
Wei Qiao ignored it completely, smiled indifferently, and said, "This brother, it seems that my talent doesn't need you to admit it, right?" ”
This son's face rose, and then a cold color flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, I think you are the one who picks up people's teeth, as long as you are right, I will turn around and leave, I am too lazy to talk to you!" ”
"Childe, you just have one more person, you must not let this kind of villain succeed!"
"Yes, this kind of narrow-minded person must be taught a lesson!"
"Childe, come out, let everyone take a look!"
The young man listened to the sound of almost a crusade around him, and his face suddenly darkened by three points, and his eyes flashed gloomily.
Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, knowing that he couldn't leave if he didn't estimate it, so he thought about it and said, "It's the word 'peep'." ”
Peep?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to their senses, and said loudly, "That's right, when you meet Langjun in the cave, you see your husband in the cave, and it's the word 'peep'!" ”
"The word 'peep', that's right! Look what you have to say! ”
"Hmph, it's really hateful to pick up people's teeth and wisdom to show off and slander others!"
"It's extremely hateful, this kind of person should teach him a lesson, so that he can know what is outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!"
The young man's face turned red, his chest rose and fell, he glanced at the crowd of accusing him, looked at Wei Qiao with a sneer, and said coldly: "My name is Lu Tang, you remember!" With that, he strode towards an attic not far away.
Wei Qiao shook his head and smiled, raised his feet and continued to walk forward. For that Lu Tang's words, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
