Chapter 112: Apology
Just after the hour, more and more people came from Yonghe Bridge. With children and daughters, they all watched the performances along the way with laughter, and the scene was warm and lively.
Wei Qiao paced slowly, this kind of lively scene is rare, and it was the first time he felt the atmosphere here. The big red lanterns on both sides flickered with a romantic flush, and the white strips pasted on them attracted people's attention.
Wei Qiao also came over, and also looked at them one by one with the mentality of watching the excitement.
'This wood is out of the woods'
"This sentence is a couplet, not good!" A young man folded his fan and muttered to himself.
"It's not difficult, but this cause and effect is not easy to push." Another young man shook his folding fan and frowned.
Wei Qiao smiled faintly and walked to the next one.
'Go gambling and drinking, one drink at a time'
"Not so good...... right"
"Yes, cause and effect, especially the last four words......"
"It's hard, it's hard to ......"
It seems that in order to promote and suppress first, in front of each pair, many scholars are boasting about the difficulty of the pair, which is not right...... Wei Qiao only looked at it and didn't say anything, and walked through several indifferently along the way.
"Qingning, this pair is interesting."
Wei Qiao walked away, the figures scattered, and his eyes lit up, but suddenly four figures appeared.
Wu Qingning, who was dressed in white and cold and dazzling even in the dark night, looked at the lantern in front of her quietly with a pretty face, the light flashed red, reflecting on her face, her big eyes did not blink, her nose was like jade, and her pretty face was white and red, which had a unique charm.
Behind her was a pretty little maid of fourteen or fifteen years old, standing quietly beside her, looking at a man beside her with a displeased expression, as if she was watching.
The man is about ten ** appearance, dressed in brocade silk clothes, wearing a gold-rimmed cool hat, holding a large jade folding fan, with a calm and confident face, and the arrogance and disdain in his eyes from time to time.
Behind him also stood a middle-aged man who looked elegant, and the middle-aged man had two mustaches under his nose, which made his already thin appearance look a little obscene. His gaze fell on the man, shaking his head and smiling smugly.
The man who spoke swept his gaze at the couplet on the lantern, and his gaze fell back on Wu Qingning, bowing slightly, with a hint of flattery.
Wu Qingning's long eyelashes blinked, and he looked at the couplet in front of him extremely seriously, as if he hadn't heard the man speak.
'Snow Plum Blossom Plum Blossom Plum Reflection'
Wei Qiao walked over quietly and looked up, but it was a seven-character intertextual couplet.
"What's the next link?" In everyone's astonishment, Wu Qingning suddenly turned his head, looked at Wei Qiao and said softly.
The moment Wu Qingning spoke, the man beside him suddenly changed his face, looked up at Wei Qiao, and his eyes flashed with coldness.
'Who is this man!' I followed her with a dead face for a long time, she didn't say a word, and as soon as this man stood over, she took the initiative to ask! ’
Zhou Tai was furious, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He made people secretly stare at Wufu for nearly a month before he learned that Wu Qingning was going out today, and he immediately dressed up and was extravagant, just to be able to show his face in front of Wu Qingning and win her favor. But Wu Qingning never looked at him squarely, no matter how much he said, she didn't seem to hear it, and there was no response. If it weren't for the plan in his heart, he would have thrown off his sleeves and left long ago.
Zhou Tai's face was pale, his head was slightly raised, his eyes flashed coldly and looked at Wei Qiao condescendingly, his eyes narrowed slightly, his teeth were clenched, and the anger in his heart was surging rapidly.
The middle-aged man behind him also had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but when he saw Wei Qiao dressed in an ordinary green coat and an old folding fan, he looked at Zhou Tai's gorgeous temperament all over his body, and smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth.
The pretty maid behind Wu Qingning was not surprised, she had already noticed Wei Qiao coming. Since Miss didn't show it, it means that it is someone that Miss knows.
Wei Qiao knew that Wu Qingning had the title of 'General Dawn', and he was not surprised that she could find out, so he glanced at Zhou Tai, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Yingyi willow catkins and willow Yiying." ”
Wu Qingning looked at Wei Qiao with clear and thorough eyes, her eyelashes blinked for a long time, and she said softly, "It's very neat." ”
Zhou Tai's face changed again, and his eyes suddenly flashed again. Wu Qingning has always been cold and rarely speaks, but today he actually talked to a 'stranger', and there was a faint sense of appreciation!
His eyes were cold, and he thought about the young man in his relationship with Wu Qingning, but he didn't find a candidate similar to Wei Qiao.
He looked at Wu Qingning, who hadn't turned his head back yet, his face twitched slightly, and then his face changed, and he walked over calmly and elegantly, and said with a smile: "In the next Zhou Tai, I don't know what this brother is called?" ”
Wei Qiao glanced at him lightly, his eyes flashed slightly, and he hugged his fists and said, "Wei Qiao." After speaking, Wei Qiao looked at him extremely seriously, Zhou Tai, it was impossible for him not to know.
Zhou Tai frowned slightly, but the middle-aged man behind him was stunned, glanced at Wei Qiao seriously, hurriedly stepped forward, and whispered a few words in Zhou Tai's ear.
When Zhou Tai heard this, he frowned slightly, and then his expression did not move, he looked at Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Wei Gongzi, who has admired his name for a long time, and it is really happy to see him today." This is Wu Qingning, the two of us are traveling together at the temple fair today, is Brother Wei willing to join us? ”
Wu Qingning frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at Zhou Tai lightly.
Zhou Tai smiled at Wu Qingning casually, and then said to Wei Qiao: "What does Brother Wei think?" ”
Wei Qiao shook his head with some disappointment in his heart, and said with an indifferent smile on his face: "It's okay." ”
Zhou Tai, the only son of the late King Li, did not have a title, and it is rumored that the current emperor intends to succeed the past and become the crown prince.
Wu Qingning turned his head to look at Wei Qiao again, his eyelashes flickered, and he said softly, "I'm going back soon." ”
Wei Qiao didn't understand what she meant, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm alone anyway." ”
Wu Qingning's eyes were clear, he looked at Wei Qiao and nodded lightly, like a lotus flower in clear water, turning silently, walking towards the next lantern.
Zhou Tai's right hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyes flashed with devouring black light!
His face twitched, his teeth gritted loudly, and he saw Wu Qingning walking by, but Wei Qiao smiled faintly at him and followed along!
He tried his best to please a woman for several years, and even took the initiative to talk to other men in front of him, and took the initiative to explain 'I will go back soon'!
How could such a sensitive and suspicious man be able to endure him!
The folding fan in his hand made a crackling sound, but Zhou Tai didn't realize it, his eyes flashed, staring at Wei Qiao's back, his expression was gloomy and terrifying.
The middle-aged man with the eight-character beard walked over cautiously and said in a low voice, "Young Master." ”
Zhou Tai's eyes glanced at him coldly, and then his eyes lit up, and his face said sinisterly: "Later, you write a couplet on my back, I want to make this Jinling No. 1 talent completely ruined!" ”
The lord was worried about the humiliation, and the eight-character beard immediately nodded, and said: "Young master, don't worry, the next few pairs are more difficult, he will definitely have the right ones, and the villain can also come out to kill him!" ”
The corner of Zhou Tai's mouth flashed with a sneer, and he stepped forward to follow.
The red lanterns, the beautiful people.
Wu Qingning stood in front of the lantern, looking at the pair in front of him with a soft face, his eyes flashing.
'Ant Tree Leaning on a Tree'
The pretty girl behind her was a little puzzled, and muttered to herself: "Miss didn't like pairs very much in the past, why are you so interested recently?" ’
Wei Qiao stood on the side, looking at the pair on the note and not in a hurry, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were leisurely.
"Hehe, Qingning, I'll do this." Zhou Tai walked to Wu Qingning's left and said with a smile.
The mustache hurriedly walked over, swept his eyes, and his fingers slid rapidly on the back of Zhou Tai, who was facing away from Wu Qingning.
Wu Qingning's expression did not move, his pretty eyes were clear, and he turned his head slightly to look at Wei Qiao.
Zhou Tai's mouth that had just opened his mouth suddenly stiffened, his whole face was more disgusting than eating flies, his chest suddenly rose and fell, his teeth were about to break, his face was even more twitching, and his eyes stared at Wei Qiao viciously as if they were about to breathe fire.
Wei Qiao looked at her and smiled faintly, and said, "The ant tree is leaning against the tree, and the cockscomb is in front of the chicken." ”
Wu Qingning pursed his lips, turned around and walked towards the next one.
Zhou Tai's throat shook, swallowed his saliva, forcibly suppressed the anger gushing in his heart, glanced at Wei Qiao coldly, and strode over.
Wu Qingning is like a hibiscus in clear water, walking slowly, like a fairy who has fallen into the world, beautiful and spotless.
"Qingning, I'll do this, right?" As soon as Zhou Tai arrived on Wu Qingning's left, he smiled without looking at the pair.
Wu Qingning looked at the pair in front of him and said softly, "This pair is difficult." ”
When Zhou Tai heard this, he thought that Wu Qingning had finally spoken to him, and suddenly said excitedly as if he had drunk June honey snow: "It's not difficult, Qingning, you look at me." ”
Zhou Tai turned his head to look at the pair, with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to look at Wu Qingning with a smile, and glanced at the eight-character beard with some eagerness.
The mustache lowered his head, his eyes were embarrassed, and he looked up at his pair again, and looked down and frowned and thought.
After a long time, Zhou Tai's face froze a little, and he turned his head and smiled at Wu Qingning, who was staring at him, and his eyes swept his mustache with a little coldness.
"It's a tough pair." Wu Qingning turned his head to Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and nodded, they were all cursive, which was indeed a bit difficult.
'Lotus Stem Lotus Lotus Lotus Moss'
They are all flowers, and if they are right, they can only be 'flowers'.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his right hand was quietly raised on Zhou Tai's back and wrote quickly.
Seeing that Wei Qiao didn't speak, Wu Qingning glanced at Zhou Tai, frowned slightly, and turned around and walked to the next one.
Zhou Tai was about to speak, but found that Wu Qingning had turned around and walked out a few steps, opened his mouth, his face was flushed, and he looked embarrassed at the corners of his mouth, and then suddenly turned his head, glared at the mustache viciously, and glanced at Wei Qiao with cold eyes, turned around and quickly followed.
Bazi Hu showed grievances, glanced at Wei Qiao, and also glared viciously, turned around and followed.
Wei Qiao was stared at by him with a strange expression, and he shook his head and smiled slowly and followed.
Zhou Tai looked at the pair in front of him, he was not as impulsive as just now, and frowned and thought: "The wind rises and the frost falls into light snow in front of the house, including the three solar terms, and the person who asked the question probably took a lot of thought, which is not very right." ”
Wu Qingning saw Wei Qiao coming over, so he turned his head and said softly: "The one just now, is there a downlink?" ”
Zhou Tai frowned when he heard this, and wanted to speak, but he was a little embarrassed, remembering that he had used the mustache for a long time just now, and he didn't think that Wei Qiao could come out, so he raised his head and swept over with a somewhat cold gaze.
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, didn't want her to be so persistent, and smiled indifferently: "Hibiscus peony is fragrant." ”
Wu Qingning pursed his lips lightly, as if this was right, turned his head to the maid behind him and said, "Xiu'er, write it down." ”
The little maid named Xiu'er immediately agreed, took out a piece of wood from her waist, and took out a dagger from her waist, and carved it directly on the piece of wood.
Wei Qiao's eyes flashed and he smiled lightly.
Zhou Tai's brows were furrowed, his face was cloudy, and as soon as he saw Wu Qingning turn around, he immediately said: "Qingning, I will be right with this pair, and I will see Chongyang under the Qingming Water of the Dragon Boat Festival." The big cold is for the Dragon Boat Festival, the frost is for Qingming, and the light snow is for Chongyang, which is both neat and perfect. ”
Wu Qingning suddenly didn't realize it, turned around and walked towards the next one.
"Hehe, girl, this is for the competition later, it can't be right." As soon as Wu Qingning walked over, a kind old man walked out, still holding a wet brush in his hand, and said to her with a smile.
Wu Qingning's face seemed to be a little regretful, nodded slightly, turned around and walked back.
When Zhou Tai saw it, he immediately smiled and said: "Qingning, since there is no pair in the back, it is better to let me, a subordinate, come up with the question and let Wei Gongzi come, right, Wei Gongzi is the first talent in Jinling, and he will not refuse if he thinks about it." ”
Wu Qingning glanced at the mustache, shook his head, and said softly: "The king is right, no." ”
The jealousy in Zhou Tai's heart was already burning, his face twitched slightly, the corners of his mouth sneered, and the gesture behind his back moved, and the eight-character Hu Wang pair immediately stood up, looked at Wei Qiao and said: "My name is Wang right, I don't remember my previous name, and no one remembers, everyone calls me Wang right, and I also call myself Wang right, so I call Wang right." As the name suggests, the king of pairs. I know that the pair in your house is child's play in my eyes. Smoke lock pond willow, how about I on the lamp deep village temple bell? ”
Zhou Tai looked at Wei Qiao with an indifferent face, his eyes sneered, and the folding fan in his hand was gently slapped in the palm of his left hand.
Wu Qingning pursed his lips, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.
Wei Qiao said undeniably 'hmm' and said, "Yes, it's exquisite, and it's a little less courageous." ”
Wang Xiang touched his mustache with one hand, stared at Wei Qiao with vigilant eyes, and said, "It's my turn to go out of the next couplet: hungry chickens steal rice and boy buckets." ”
Wei Qiao glanced at Wu Qingning with a smile and said, "I'll send you back, right?" ”
Wu Qingning looked at her and blinked, as if wondering how he could see through what she was thinking, and said softly, "Okay." ”
Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and stretched out his hand to make a very gentlemanly 'please' action.
Wu Qingning's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he immediately walked over lightly.
"Wait!" Wu Qingning had just taken a step, and Zhou Tai stretched out his hand to stop Wei Qiao with a pale face, and sneered: "Wei Gongzi wants to plan to desert? Then at the very least, you have to admit defeat first, right? ”
Wei Qiao raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, but Wu Qingning suddenly turned around, his expression was still cold, frowned, looked at Wei Qiao, and said softly: "Wei Gongzi, you compare with him, if he loses, I will ask him to apologize to you." ”
When Zhou Tai heard this, the muscles of his face twitched slightly, and his heart was even more angry, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said lightly in a cold voice: "Master Wei, how is it?" ”
Wei Qiao spread his hands indifferently and said, "The summer rat is cool and the beam is shocked. ”
Wang Xiang snorted coldly, stepped forward and said, "In the deep mountains where the two apes break the wood, the little monkey dares to saw." ”
This is an extremely obvious insult.
Wei Qiao looked at Wang Wei with a faint smile and said, "If a horse is stuck in the mud, how can the old beast get out of the hoof." ”
"Poof"
Suddenly, Xiu'er, who was carving words, sneered, and when she saw that her eyes suddenly turned to herself for a few days, she immediately erected a piece of wood, and lowered her head with a red face and carved it again.
Wang Zhu's face flushed, and he said coldly: "The sky is a chessboard, the stars are the sons, who can play?" ”
Wei Qiao immediately continued: "The ground is the pipa, the road is the string, which one dares to play?" ”
Wang narrowed his eyes, stretched out his head and said, "Smile when you open your mouth, smile at the past, smile at everything now." ”
Wei Qiao said: "The big belly can tolerate, and the sky and the earth can not tolerate yourself." ”
Xiu'er pursed her lips, quickly dropped the knife, put the wood chip into her arms, took out another piece, scratched her little head, looked at Wei Qiao with a pretty face, and said in a low voice: "Wei Gongzi, can you say it again?" Obviously, she knew her young lady's spleen and surname, and she wouldn't answer if she asked, so the two of them hated it at first glance, so they had to ask Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and repeated again.
Xiu'er immediately grinned at Wei Qiao, and two good-looking dimples appeared on her pretty face.
Zhou Tai's eyes became colder and colder, and his fists clenched. Originally, he didn't reassure Wei Qiao, but now he can be regarded as a great enemy.
Wang walked around the place with a folding fan, and suddenly looked up at Wei Qiao and said, "No mountain is as good as Wushan"
Wei Qiao smiled strangely at the corner of his mouth, and said, "He water can be as clear as the river." ”
Wang frowned, lowered his head and circled in place, Zhou Tai's face was gloomy, and he wanted to go up and kick him, but when he saw the eyes of several people, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
The king was anxious for a long time, and suddenly raised his head again and said, "Sheng Sheng." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned when he heard this, and carefully looked at the middle-aged man with a beard in front of him, this kind of overlapping word couplet, could it be that the first one was discovered by this obscene and short guy like a little old man in front of him?
Xiu'er's pretty face turned crimson, her eyes looked at Wei Qiao, and she bit her lip and whispered, "Wei Gongzi, this, how to write?" ”
Wei Qiao smiled faintly, walked over, took the wooden chip, took the knife, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's all one word." "Wei Qiao's lettering is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, seven almost identical 'sheng' characters fell on the wood chips, and then on the side, like flowing water, seven words were carved.
Xiu'er's pretty face was shocked, and she hurriedly showed it to Wu Qingning, Wu Qingning's pretty eyes also flashed in surprise, looked at Wei Qiao and nodded lightly, then turned her head to look at Zhou Tai, and said in a cold voice: "Apologize." ”
She is not good at showing her feelings, even when she is angry, but those who know her well know that her cold voice indicates that she is extremely displeased with someone.
Zhou Tai was stunned, just now Wu Qingning said, 'If he loses, I'll ask him to apologize to you' He didn't pay attention at all, listening to Wu Qingning's cold voice at this moment, he couldn't help but be stunned, his face was embarrassed and said with a smile: "Qingning, Yiwen will ......"
Wu Qingning's pretty face remained the same, and his voice remained the same: "Apologize." ”
Zhou Tai's words were interrupted, and the embarrassment on his face became more and more, and he reluctantly smiled: "Qingning, me and Wei ......"
"Apologies!"
Wu Qingning interrupted him again, his voice still cold.
Wang had nothing to say, he shrank his head and hid to the side, he had already seen the words engraved by Wei Qiao, which were seven 'line' characters.
Although he didn't know the pronunciation of Wei Qiao's carving, but according to his thoughts, it was extremely neat, so he shrunk his neck and hid aside, not daring to say a word.
Zhou Tai finally had a trace of anger on his face, his voice was a little heavier, and he said, "Qingning, you have to know my identity." ”
Wu Qingning looked up at her, and just when Zhou Tai was happy and thought that Wu Qingning regretted it, Wu Qingning's more indifferent voice sounded.
"Apologize."
Regardless of those who don't know her, everyone who listens to this voice knows that Wu Qingning is giving an ultimatum.
Zhou Tai was also angry, what is his identity, what is Wei Qiao's identity, let him apologize to Wei Qiao, in his opinion, it is simply an incomparably huge humiliation!
Zhou Tai's eyes were gloomy, his face was pale, his chest was gently undulating, his teeth were gritted, his face twitched fiercely, and the anger in his heart was skyrocketing every moment.
His eyes flashed, he looked at Wei Qiao coldly, and said word by word:
"What if I don't?"
Wu Qingning's pretty face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "I'll send you to the barracks." ”
Sending a child of the royal family to the barracks is simply killing them alive.
Zhou Tai's chest suddenly rose and fell violently, his breath suddenly increased, his clenched fists trembled violently, his eyes flashed with blazing anger, looking at Wu Qingning, his eyes could not be expressed with resentment and resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Okay!" Good! I want to see how you send me to the barracks, I want to see if the clan will agree, I want to see if the emperor will agree! ”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
As soon as Wu Qingning's figure moved, Wei Qiao suddenly grabbed her arm, Wu Qingning turned around and looked at him curiously.
Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I went to Master Fu just now, I guess he will come to the door in person tomorrow." ”
slapped the son-in-law of the king of Jin, forcing him to flee in the wilderness, and he was safe and sound.
Wu Qingning's eyes blinked, then he stood up again, looked at Wei Qiao and said softly: "Well, that gold medal doesn't have to be given to Zhou Tai." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes were strange and surprised, and then he thought about it.
―――――――― sure enough, early the next morning, Zhou Tai personally prepared gifts to visit, and when Wei Qiao saw him, he still had four finger prints on his face. The fingers were slender and slender, the blood was bruised, and he did not retreat in the middle of the night, and the person who wanted to beat him was extremely angry and violent.
Sincere, humble and courteous.
