Chapter 109: Poetry riddles are right
Those talented people looked at the backs of Wei Qiao and the three of them, their faces were full of envy, and the coaxing just now was more or less afraid that the world would not be chaotic to see the lively mentality, but seeing that Wei Qiao easily guessed the riddle, they couldn't help but turn into admiration again.
Xiangling snorted with a snort, and almost wrote with a smug face: This time you know how powerful our young master is, right?
It was the first time for Wan'er to feel the 'literati outside', and although she was happy about Wei Qiao's victory, she only smiled lightly on her face.
- She's not a person who is good at expressing emotions.
"Young Master, let's continue to guess, shall we?" The little girl asked with a little face.
The little girl didn't know where to buy two masks, put them on her face, and almost covered her entire little head, which looked nondescript.
Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and said, "Don't guess for the time being, let's see the excitement first." ”
A simple brain teaser is no problem for him, but if he really meets someone who insists on comparing poetry riddles with him or something, it will inevitably make a fool of himself.
The two little girls naturally didn't guess their young master's thoughts, followed her, and didn't pursue it, looking at the various scenes around them, talking in a low voice, giggling constantly.
The lights are shining, the drums are rumbling, and there are endless performances along the way, and the original ancient style makes Wei Qiao almost unable to walk.
Fireworks, lights, lion dances, dragon dances, juggling, and all kinds of small traders and vendors fill the entire street.
"Look, it's Miss Yiyun......"
"That's right, it's really Miss Yiyun, quick, go over and have a look......"
"Let's ...... Walk"
Suddenly, there was a turmoil in front of the three of them, and the noisy crowd quickly surrounded a lantern in front.
Wei Qiao glanced up and suddenly smiled.
Last night, Fu Yang consulted him in his room for almost midnight chasing women**, Wei Qiao told him what he had experienced in books, from physiology to psychology, which made Fu Yang, who had always been ignorant of love, suddenly enlightened and suddenly realized.
was originally going to be with Wei Qiao, but now the two don't know where to hide and romance.
Wei Qiao also wanted to say hello to Yiyun, but seeing that she was surrounded by a circle left and a circle, the surname Suo also forgot about it, and turned around to walk towards the high platform, which seemed to be performing opera.
"This boy stays." Wei Qiao had just stepped on his feet, and a lukewarm voice suddenly sounded on the left.
Wei Qiao stopped and turned his head to look, but it was the son-in-law who asked him to remember his name just now who brought another person over.
- Parents are here.
This person is more than half a hundred years old, dressed in civilian clothes, with a cold and arrogant expression, blazing eyes, an elegant complexion, and a Confucian gentleman's demeanor in every move.
That Lu Tang looked at Wei Qiao with a sneer, raised his head at Wei Qiao with his mouth cocked, and looked cold and provocative.
Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and arched his hand: "This ......"
The 'old man', who was over half a hundred years old, looked at Wei Qiao critically, saw him wearing an ordinary green shirt, his eyes were silent, and saw that he was carrying two pretty maids by his side, and said in a cold voice, "I heard that Gongzi is good at guessing word puzzles, and the old man happens to have some skills." ”
Listening to this means that you have to follow if you don't accompany you, your face is indifferent, your tone is lukewarm, and half of your words are left behind, and you look like you are frowning from above.
Wei Qiao touched his nose, he didn't have much bad feelings about this 'old man' who felt good about himself and was aggressive, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, why he couldn't be at peace wherever he went.
Does it look like a bully?
The old man saw that Wei Qiao lowered his head and didn't speak, probably thinking that he was timid, his eyes flashed coldly, but his tone was a little softer, and he still said lightly: "You don't need more, just guess three." ”
Xiangling had a small face, and her small fists were clenched, as if she would rush up and beat people at any time. Wan'er is much quieter, she is a head shorter than Wei Qiao, and she can clearly see the wry smile on the corner of Wei Qiao's mouth. She was thoughtful, and she could roughly guess Wei Qiao's three points, so she was not in a hurry.
Wei Qiao raised his head, looked at this 'old man' with a smile, and said, "I'm not good at guessing riddles, or let's make a fist?" ”
Punching?
The 'old man', who had an indifferent expression, flashed with anger in his eyes when he heard this, and his face became even more cold. Because of Wei Qiao's words, in his opinion, it was completely an insult to the reader.
A scholar's competition on the street is not a poem or song, but a gambler in a casino or a guessing boxer played by children?
Then what kind of etiquette to talk about, what kind of self-cultivation to talk about, what rules to talk about! How to teach and educate people, how to write a book and a biography, and how to walk in the apricot forest!
If that's the case, we might as well die together!
That Lu Tang's face was also red, and his eyes were staring at Wei Qiao with fire. The 'old man' didn't speak, so he naturally didn't dare to interject without permission, so he could only stare at Wei Qiao with his eyes like arrows, eager to see him pierced his heart with ten thousand arrows.
Xiangling was naturally not surprised by her young master, raised her chin, looked at the 'old man' with a cold snort, and her little face was full of disdain.
The 'old man' looked at Wei Qiao with cold eyes, his eyes moved, and he hummed: "The separation of the stream and the ravine, the red dust game, what's really interesting?" Fame and fortune are still in vain, and it will be difficult to continue in the future. ”
The 'old man' only left half of his face for Wei Qiao, his brows were slightly furrowed, cold and solemn, and he seemed to dislike it.
Wei Qiao was a little depressed, the look of this 'old man' was eight points similar to that of Zhao Yuankui. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart, 'I'm so annoying? ’
"Young master......" After a long time, Xiangling saw that Wei Qiao did not move, gently pulled his clothes, and said in a low voice.
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the little girl, and then at Wan'er, who was also a little inexplicably worried, smiled, and said, "It's okay." ”
He looked up at the 'old man', his heart turned, and he smiled indifferently: "Beat you for me, beat me for you, break your belly, and shed my blood." ”
The 'old man' raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "The white snake crosses the river, and there is a bright moon above his head; Oolong is lying on the wall, covered with thousands of miles of Venus. ”
Wei Qiao's expression moved slightly, the riddle of the first sentence of the 'old man' was obviously a monkey, and what he replied was a buzzing mosquito, but the old man's sentence was a lamp and a scale, and the meaning was naturally self-evident, directly from the tips of his hair to the big toes.
A few people on the side, that Lu Tang had a bitter face, maybe he could guess something, but his face was quite tangled, and he frowned, obviously unable to understand everything.
Wan'er pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and thought with a pretty face.
Xiangling didn't think about it, her eyes widened, and her small ears were straight, as if she wanted to listen to the conversation between the two word for word.
And people who happened to pass by, many people were interested in stopping and watching, standing a little farther away, for fear of affecting the two of them, or worried that it would not be lively.
Wei Qiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a light smile: "Make it in the south, face it in the north." Like sorrow and sorrow, like joy and joy. ”
The answer to Wei Qiao's riddle is a mirror, and the answer is very simple, that is, you should look in the mirror and look at your old face.
The 'old man's eyes flashed with surprise, his two poetry riddles are not difficult, but he can guess the answer in a blink of an eye and oppose it again.
The 'old man' looked at Wei Qiao, his eyes flashed, and he said: "When the children under the stairs are on their backs, Qingming makeup is the most appropriate." The gossamer was broken and weak, and Mo complained to the east wind. ”
As soon as the words of the 'old man' fell, the surroundings were full of people, but they were all quiet, without a single sound. Everyone pondered for a long time, and then looked up at Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao frowned slightly, then nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "There are two vastness in the sky, and you should be careful when Lang Ji is over." Luan Yin Hexin must stare at it, so that he can answer the sigh to the sky. ”
"This boy is also very talented!"
"Yes, it's not difficult to guess the riddle, it's just as difficult as the riddle!"
"Yes, I don't have many riddles in Daqi's poems, but I met two masters today."
That Lu Tang clenched his fists, looked at Wei Qiao with resentment in his eyes, furrowed his brows, his face twitched, and his face was eager.
The 'old man' was surprised and flashed again, restrained the contempt just now, and no longer disliked the young man's 'vain and restless, so vain', looked at the folding fan in the hand of a young man behind Wei Qiao, and said: "A white cloud in the hand, the five dragons shake to lead the breeze, the golden chrysanthemum is cleaned up when it opens, and the jade lotus hair meets again." ”
Wei Qiao turned his head to look at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"It's a fan."
"Hey, isn't this Bachelor Chen of the Gong Academy?"
"Yes, yes, it's Bachelor Chen, I saw him in the exam the year before last, and it's indeed Bachelor Chen!"
"It turned out to be Master Chen, he used to be a ...... of Hanlin"
"Yes, he is now in the Gongyuan, presiding over the scientific expedition......"
There was a sudden whisper of surprise among the crowd, and finally it grew up, obviously quite excited.
Wei Qiao listened to the surrounding discussions, looked at the 'old man', his eyes flashed in surprise, and he immediately lowered his head and thought about it.
The 'old man' saw that Wei Qiao was only slightly stunned, so he solemnly lowered his head and pondered, without the slightest intention of courtesy, frowned slightly, and immediately let go.
Wei Qiao bowed his head, accustomed to stepping forward.
One-step.
Two steps.
As soon as the three steps fell, Wei Qiao's face smiled with relief, looked up at the 'old man', and said, "Not on the plum side, but on the willow side, who will pick up the painting Chanjuan." Reunion Mo Yi Chunxiang arrived, and it was another year to say goodbye to the west wind. ”
"That's right!"
"This son's talent is really amazing!"
"No, he just took three steps?"
"Three steps? Guard's three steps? ”
The crowd was suddenly startled, and they all looked at Wei Qiao with burning eyes.
"That's right, it's Wei Sanbu, I remember, although he stood far away, I remember his figure clearly, it's Wei Sanbu!"
"Wei Sanbu? On the Buddha, the Wei Sanbu, Wei Qiao Wei Liyuan? ”
"Wei Gongzi, may I ask if you are Wei Gongzi......"
Just now, the 'old man' was recognized as Bachelor Chen of the Gongyuan, and he was only talking in a low voice, but this time Wei Qiao was recognized but completely covered up this piece, everyone was talking loudly, and a few people had already come over and asked excitedly.
Wei Qiao can be said to be quite a legendary person in Jinling, when he was a blockbuster on Buddhism, almost rewriting the history of the Daqi literary world, and after that glimpse of spring, Wei Qiao returned to his previous state again, silent, and unknown. Although occasionally his poems come out from various channels, it is difficult to believe that he can't see the authentic works, plus Wei Qiao rarely shows up, and he doesn't have any friends to attend any poetry meetings, which makes his reputation rise more and more, even the virtual champion Chu Han is beyond his reach, and he has faintly become the idol of Jinling's talents, the target of chasing.
When Master Chen heard that it was Wei Qiao, he first looked at Wei Qiao's face seriously, then nodded with a chuckle, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Tang, with a cold look in his eyes.
Lu Tang's face was pale, and he explained helplessly, "Teacher, I, I ......"
Bachelor Chen's eyes flashed with coldness, and he snorted coldly: "You will leave the palace tomorrow, and you will no longer be my Chen Yi's student in the future!" ”
Lu Tang's face suddenly turned like ashes, and his face pleaded.
Chen Yi Chen had already turned his head and stopped looking at him.
Wei Qiao sighed, but he didn't expect to be recognized, and indifferently hugged his fists at everyone and said: "Everyone raise love, and Wei Liyuan is under you." After speaking, he hugged his fists at this Bachelor Chen and said, "The student has seen Bachelor Chen. ”
Chen Yi smiled, no longer indifferent just now, and said with a light smile: "Well, just now the old man didn't check, so Wei Gongzi was wronged." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and admired him a little more in his heart, after all, he didn't hold on to his face, but generously admitted that he was negligent in front of so many people! This ordinary person would never be able to do it, and the gloom in his heart was swept away, Wei Qiao smiled lightly and said, "Students don't dare." ”
Chen Yi smiled indifferently, looked at Wei Qiao, and said with a smile: "Well, the big exam is coming, how are you preparing?" ”
Wei Qiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and said softly: "The student is ready." ”
Chen nodded and smiled, and said: "In this big exam, the Gongyuan will not decide the top three, and the top ten will be directly submitted to the emperor for ruling, you have to be prepared." ”
Chen Yi knew a thing or two about the things on the Buddha, and the inner court also spread the reason why Wei Qiao was not recorded as a virtual champion. Although the reason can't be said at first glance, after all, the emperor has made a decision, and the facts have been made and cannot be changed. However, as an old eunuch, he still vaguely guessed that Wei Qiao was estimated to be the emperor's person who wanted to reuse it.
Wei Qiao didn't know what the 'preparation' in his words meant, so he smiled indifferently and bowed and said, "Yes, students remember." ”
Chen Yi looked at Wei Qiao carefully, nodded slightly, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry about Zhao Yuanzheng, take the exam with peace of mind." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned, and immediately estimated that this Bachelor Chen was the kind of traditional Confucian Bachelor, and he did not stick to the descendants, and hurriedly hugged his fists with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Bachelor Chen." ”
"Which one is Wei Gongzi, Master Fu and a few adults are invited." As soon as Wei Qiao's voice fell, a man dressed in brocade and a guard with a knife squeezed into the crowd and said loudly.
Wei Qiao was stunned, glanced at the man, and said indifferently: "It's down there." ”
But I was puzzled in my heart, and I didn't know who the 'Master Fu' in his words was.
Chen Yi was stunned, looked at Wei Qiao thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just go and meet a few old friends, Wei Gongzi, let's go together." ”
The guard glanced at Chen Yi, seemed to know him, did not speak, and looked at Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao pondered in his heart, smiled indifferently, and said, "Please lead the way." ”
