Chapter 132: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
Guessing this in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period appeared in a way of entertainment, at that time it was called "hidden language", to the Han and Wei dynasties began to be called "riddle", with the guessing of the riddle, this way was also popular in the Three Kingdoms era.
Zheng Feng is rich and likes to show off, at this time, he actually made a three-life tree, and also made the riddle on the lantern, made a riddle, and timely cooperated with the mentality of young people nowadays, and made a romantic flower before the moon, which is really not simple.
Luo Shixin didn't have the heart to participate, and then looked at Zheng Fengchi's actions as a bystander, and couldn't help but say: "Zheng Fengchi can not only build momentum for himself, but also accurately figure out the hearts of others and make attractive activities, which is indeed not a simple character." The richest man in the Tang Dynasty is also well-deserved. ”
In anticipation, the first lantern riddle flew with the confetti of the salute, and the banner like a couplet fell and appeared in front of the public.
I saw a banner with six simple words written on it: "Battle on the palace wall!" There is another hint at the end: "Guess the name of a famous battle in ancient times!" ”
Just when Luo Shixin lowered his head and thought of the answer, Pei Xingjian, who was sitting on Luo Shixin's shoulder, suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "It's the Battle of Chibi!" ”
Everyone around was stunned for a moment, and then realized that someone applauded and praised.
Luo Shixin also smiled: "Okay, boy, let you pull out the top prize like this?" ”
Pei Xingjian's little face turned crimson, and he said softly: "Some time ago, I stole through Mr. Pei Songzhi's annotated "Three Kingdoms", and I happened to see the Battle of Chibi. ”
Luo Shixin said strangely: "Stealing? There is no sin in reading books, so why bother to flip through them. ”
Pei Xingjian said softly: "Mr. asked me to read the Four Books and Five Classics. Let me learn the way of Confucius and Mencius with my heart. But I like to read history books, especially those that introduce the deeds of those who came before in history. It's interesting to see how they use tactics and how they fight. It's ten times better than the Four Books and the Five Classics. He paused and said, "Big brother, don't tell my mother about this, I won't leave the Four Books and Five Classics behind." ”
Luo Shixin smiled knowingly, the status of Wenchen in the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that of military generals, and it was because of this that countless people threw their pens from Rong, leaving "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for the time being. If you are a scholar and a marquis? Such a famous sentence.
Pei Xingjian was a famous general who was proficient in Confucianism in history, and it was not surprising that he preferred to use tactics to fight.
While they were talking, a letter was sent by a figure dressed as a fellow. The second riddle was also announced, and a scholar in Tsing Yi cracked it.
Pei Xingjian looked at it a little annoyed, and knocked his head a little.
Luo Shixin saw that Pei Xingjian was interested, so he said: "Then we guess more than anyone?" ”
Pei Xingjian has a child's mentality, and he responds with a mouthful.
Luo Shixin didn't have any ideas, but he joined in the fun. It's the same no matter how you make it up.
At this time, the third question came out with great anticipation.
"Half of the spring and autumn. Hit the name of an ancient country. ”
Luo Shixin replied without thinking at this time: "Qin! ”
Guessing is a kind of intellectual game with a long history, originated from the I Ching Bagua, and is also one of the traditional Chinese cultures. The previous question is the most basic method of splitting words, and half of the Spring and Autumn Period is naturally Qin.
Luo Shixin played it when he was very young. The reaction is a little faster than that of the ancients, who were not in regular contact with it.
After all, although the guessing puzzle was popular for a while during the Three Kingdoms period, it was the Song Dynasty that really popularized the lantern riddle. And not the Tang Dynasty.
"Correct!" Rothson received another citation.
After the fourth question came out, Luo Shixin was a little dumbfounded, and obediently shut up and didn't think about it.
The riddle of the fourth question is "Huo Qu's Illness" to play an allusion in the Four Books and Five Classics.
Although Luo Shixin has a lot of experience in positive guessing, reverse guessing, side guessing, sub-guessing, increasing and losing guessing, etc., he doesn't know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics, how to guess it.
But just when he gave up, Pei Xingjian on his head said: "It's the illness in the Book of Rites." ”
Luo Shixin was surprised, Pei Xingjian was young but knowledgeable, and his quick thinking was far beyond his expectations.
The literati and ink writers around, talented and beautiful women are also a little unsettled.
Let a child take the lead, they can laugh it off, saying that he is young and smart, but let a child win two prizes one after another, that is, the rhythm of being compared, it is not fun, most people are serious and strict.
The next sixteen lantern riddles are also particularly fierce because of this, each question appears that everyone is immersed in hard thinking, thinking of the idea of raising their hands to say the answer, causing a burst of emotion and chagrin, in exchange for a letter, some self-satisfaction, the scene is also particularly lively.
Everyone is interested in this, and it is not easy for Luo Shixin and Pei Xingjian to continue to dominate the lantern riddles. The key to guessing the riddle is that he is quick, quick to react, and well-informed, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingjian are not lacking in the former, but the latter is a hard injury. Most of the riddles of this era are derived from the Four Books and the Five Classics. Maybe the riddle is the Four Books and Five Classics, or maybe the riddle is the Four Books and Five Classics, which is inseparable from that routine.
The riddle is the Four Books and Five Classics, Luo Shixin can still imagine, relying on experience to come up with the answer, if the riddle is the Four Books and Five Classics, then he can only give up directly.
The Four Books and Five Classics are not easy for Luo Shixin. Pei Xingjian is better, and he is also learning this knowledge. But he was only six years old, and the knowledge he learned was comparable to that of those literati who had studied the Four Books and the Five Classics for more than ten years.
However, because of the first hand, Luo Shixin had three copies of the letter in his hand at the beginning, and then answered a "He can be abolished, and the sheep is exchanged" lantern riddle, a total of four, and the others are mostly one or two, not even three.
After all, guessing is not a university question, and if you think about it with your heart, you will still guess the answer, and it is not the patent of learned people. Compared to nearly 1,000 people, it is remarkable that they were able to obtain four letters.
The surrounding pedestrians saw that there was no bustle to see, and those who came out to play could not be trapped in one place and dispersed one after another.
Luo Shixin was not in a hurry to leave, the letter in his hand was made of white jade, which was not valuable but had some value, and he had to return it. Maybe the other party, as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, doesn't care about these small money, but Luo Shixin has no intention of taking advantage of this. There are still many people around who have not yet dispersed, and most of them are young women. They laughed and waited for the next scene, or even a little expectation, to be able to win Luo Shixin's favor.
Luo Shixin is dressed decently, and the fabric used is a big family at a glance. People are also tall and handsome, handsome and upright, and can be called the dragon and phoenix among people, not to mention that he has always carried a five or six-year-old brother on his back since the beginning, and he does not feel tired, which is a few points more than the slender true scholar. In the Tang Dynasty, a scribe was not necessarily more attractive than a martial artist, but there is no doubt that a scribe with military force was more attractive than a simple martial artist, scribe and scholar. Luo Shixin has the appearance of a little scribe, and he is dressed in a samurai uniform, both civil and military, which still attracts many young girls.
When it was not so crowded, Luo Shixin walked up and returned the four letters to Zheng Xi.
Zheng Xi smiled and pulled Luo Shixin and said, "Congratulations to the son for winning the first place, I don't know if there is your favorite female companion around here." The top of this three-life tree will be opened especially for you. ”
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "Forget it, today I took my little brother out to play, and the woman I like is not nothing, but I didn't come." When he said this, Zheng Liwan's appearance flashed in his mind, and then Pingyang's appearance appeared inexplicably, and it would be good if he could suddenly move with Pingyang.
Thinking about this thought for a lifetime, Luo Shixin hurriedly pinched it off in fright.
As soon as Luo Shixin's voice fell, there was a faint sigh around.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from below: "It's a rare opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this." Why don't you give the opportunity to those in need......"
Luo Shixin struck a spirit, looked back, and sure enough, Zheng Liwan, the girl, was standing not far away. Today, she is wearing a delicate yellow gown, smiling and standing in the crowd, her skin is brighter than snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, delicate and vulgar, she is really like a pearl and faint, beautiful jade and shining, and she cannot be a square object.
Luo Shixin smiled and asked, "Does that girl need it?" ”
Zheng Liwan said: "Since you have spoken, you naturally need it." She stepped forward generously and said, "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha and invite you to go up together, are you willing?" ”
"It's an honor!" Luo Shixin gave his own answer.
The peaks and loops turn, and the changes come suddenly.
The crowd that thought they didn't have a good show to watch suddenly encountered this situation, and they cheered one by one.
They didn't know that the two knew each other in advance, but there was an allusion to Wenjun and Red Running at Night, and one cheered and jumped up.
A man and a woman, the man is handsome and chic, and the woman is also a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance.
"Big brother, I'm waiting for you under the tree?"
Pei Xingjian was a big ghost, and he struggled down with a smile and said, "I'll just wait, I won't run around." ”
Zheng Xi opened the tree lamp and lowered the hollowed-out entrance, and said, "Childe girl, please." ”
Luo Shixin smiled and walked in first, there was a hole in this tree hole, it was so spacious that it was like a tower, inlaid with a spiral staircase, until it was six feet high.
"It's incredible!" Zheng Liwan followed inside and looked up.
Luo Shixin shook the stairs, and knocked on the tree wall, the stairs did not move, the tree wall was as hard as steel, making a crisp sound, and couldn't help but sigh: "This world is so big, there are no surprises." This so-called three-life tree, I have never seen or heard of it. ”
Zheng Liwan chuckled and said, "What's the matter, let's go up." ”
"Good!" Before Luo Shixin took a step, he first reached out and grabbed the soft and slender little hand with white skin like jade, before going up.
Zheng Liwan's heart was like a deer, and she only felt that the big hand holding her was powerful, full of strange feelings. Neither of them spoke, and slowly stepped forward.
The height of six zhang is equivalent to a five- or six-story building, this spiral walking is a piece of cake for Luo Shixin, but Zheng Liwan is a little struggling, but she still persists.
When they came to the top of the tree, Luo Shixin and Zheng Liwan suddenly found that they were in the midst of 30,000 lanterns...... (To be continued......)
