The garden flowers are new, and the moon is bright on the lake. A piece of singing, but I don't see the face of the old people. The beauty shadow forgot to return, the lights flew around the trees, and I wanted to borrow clairvoyance to talk to you.

Zhu Ziyu carried a chic lotus lamp and walked leisurely on the street, but the slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes revealed the anxiety in his heart.

Half an hour passed, Zhu Ziyu unexpectedly didn't find Bai Lu, he couldn't help but look towards the dark places of the streets on both sides, and then pretended to be casual and walked slowly.

Suddenly, a figure in front of him attracted his attention, the cinnabar mole behind the girl's ear was imprinted in the past years like old iron, Zhu Ziyu's heart tightened, and he involuntarily approached her slowly.

The crowd looked for her thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was there, and the lights were dim.

"Lady, do you like the lanterns you bought for your husband?"

The beauty in front turned around when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were smooth in surprise, "This son, you recognize the wrong person." ”

"Lady, you are naughty again, the brocade of this dress can't deceive the eyes of your husband."

Damask? Tang Yuzhu looked down at the clothes on her body, although they were in the style of a civilian, they were also from the Clothing Bureau, and those who could afford to wear such regular clothes should also be the daughters of the royal family.

"Childe, the little woman is polite in this box. The little woman's surname is Tang, and although the child's figure is not much different from my husband's, the husband's voice and bearing can still be distinguished by the little woman. My husband, in the future, he will be a person who sits in the Ming Hall, and the son must not be entangled more. ”

Voice, bearing, sit in the hall!

Zhu Ziyu's eyes darkened, and then he smiled with a clear smile: "This girl is the beautiful woman of my son, this lantern is used as an atonement, I don't know what the girl wants?" ”

Tang Yuzhu looked down at the lotus lamp in Zhu Ziyu's hand, the pink lotus, the petals bloomed in the wind, and the wick danced with the wind, but it was always as bright as a star.

This lantern is too exquisite, like an enlarged version of a real flower, it seems that such a lantern seems to be a prize received by someone else when passing by the literary examination just now, Tang Yuzhu nodded happily.

Seeing that his sweetheart was smiling, Zhu Ziyu's heart was agitated. It's hard to buy a smile, not to mention that this lantern was only bought from someone else for a hundred taels of silver just now, it's worth the money!

Tang Yuzhu took the lantern handed over by Zhu Ziyu, and walked into the crowd calmly after making a thank-you gift.

Zhu Ziyu squinted at the darkness of the roof next to the street, strongly controlling his desire to look back at his sweetheart, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh. After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Ziyu dragged his heavy steps and swam slowly in the sea of people.

At this moment, Bai Lu, who had eaten and drunk, had already listened to the screams of the crowd wave after wave and came to the literary test site. I saw that there were countless waiting arrays placed in the open space by the lake, and there was a lantern riddle under each lamp.

The lights are brilliant, the flowers are brilliant, and the beautiful shadows are dancing, like a fantasy in the world, and you don't know the way back.

Bai Lu wandered in, guessed a few lantern riddles, felt that it was not very difficult, so he had no interest in guessing any more, and ran among the sparks, swimming towards the place where the crowd screamed the most.

"Please read the rules of the game first, and then go to the primary election first, that is, guess the lantern riddles, and don't crowd and block the way."

......

Bai Lu shouted and pulled out a piece of rice paper on the stall, only to see that it was written:

Literary test primary: guess the lantern riddle, and then go to the background of the lantern array to register the information, and report the riddle, such as the ninety-eighth lamp array and the sixty-fifth lantern riddle is: crystal words. Clear the level against 10 riddlers.

Preliminary round of literary examination: a total of four levels of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, each level needs to be completed by husband and wife, by the first couple to guard, the latecomer challenge, the successful guard of a stick of incense husband and wife to enter the second level, the successful guard of two sticks of incense into the third level......

Those who pass a pass will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and a pair of lanterns for lovers; Those who pass the two levels will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, a couple of lanterns will be rewarded, those who have passed the three levels will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and those who have passed the four levels will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver......

Literary Examination Finals: Three days later, on August 15, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all those who successfully defend the four levels will enter the finals, and the winners will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver.

Bai Lu read the rules in his hand excitedly, and then walked into the sea of people, and couldn't wait to watch the game.

As soon as I entered the competition site, I saw countless couples playing music. There are ensembles playing guzheng, there are men holding women and playing erhu ensembles, there are drums playing together, eighteen kinds of musical instruments, everything.

Although the instruments are different and the people who play them are different, the song played by the ensemble is the same song - the colorful moon chasing the moon.

Bai Lu closed his eyes and listened for a while, he was a little concerned, there are not many harmonious people, there are not many people!

There are even some couples who can't match the rhythm at all, and the strings are plucked, which makes the onlookers sigh, and Bai Lu also has a little retreat.

Suddenly, a delicate voice pulled her back in her footsteps.

"Cousin, let's choose the guqin!"

Bai Lu looked at the owner of the voice, and almost jumped up in surprise after carefully identifying it, Yongqing, it turned out to be Yongqing, and she actually held Sun Tingchen's hand, and Sun Tingchen nodded a little dotingly.

Tsk, it's been a big improvement!

Yongqing wore a white veil inlaid with pearls, while Sun Tingchen wore a black bat-shaped mask, and strangely enough, neither of them changed their costumes.

Aren't these delicate people accustomed to wearing other people's clothes?

At the moment when Bai Lu was puzzled, Yongqing and Sun Tingchen had already played, during which many couples who sighed to themselves had already left, and a new group of couples came up and continued to play the song.

"Okay—"

Some applauded, some applauded, it was lively, but not noisy.

Bai Lu quietly squeezed near Yongqing, closed her eyes and listened, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up unconsciously, and the corners of her eyes were filled with a happy smile.

Hehehehe, it seems that there will be nothing to do with me as a matchmaker in the future.

After a stick of incense, Yongqing and Sun Tingchen successfully entered the second level, and were introduced into the second level by a man who looked like a family ding, and along the way, Jia Ding kept explaining the rules of the second level.

With the crowd, Bai Lu also automatically and spontaneously moved to the outside of the venue in the second level.

At this moment, the couple who were originally guarding inside saw the coming, their eyes were warm, and they stood up very excitedly, it seems that they are also waiting for a panic.

The man is tall, the woman is a little petite, and both of them have a broken hairpin on their heads, and they seem to care about this very much. There are only a few couples who wear the broken hairpin from today's garden in a bun.

After the two couples saluted politely, Yongqing and the woman opposite sat down at the chess table, Sun Tingchen and the man opposite stared at each other deeply, and then quietly turned around.

The corners of Yongqing's mouth and eyes were full of smiles, without the slightest hint of nervousness, it seemed that between heaven and earth, as long as he quietly waited for the voice behind him.

"Cannon five flat six"

"Pawn two into one"

......

After a fierce fight, Sun Tingchen won, unexpectedly the man who was originally guarding did not see frustration, and saluted Sun Tingchen generously: "Brother Sun is talented, and the younger brother sighs to himself." ”

"Brother Feng is humble!"

After the Feng Gongzi retired, he calmly walked out of the arena with the sleeves of the female dependents, and said excitedly: "This kind of event not only allows our unmarried people to have a polite contact, but also unexpected to meet talented people. Alas, we are so lucky. Wail, the misfortune of the fathers! ”

When the incense next to the arena was extinguished, a couple finally broke through to the second level, and they were happy to find that they had not yet passed the level, and they became the champions.

Yongqing and Sun Tingchen were introduced to the venue of the third competition, and Bai Lu squeezed forward in the crowd. Bai Lu found that there were still a lot of onlookers, but there didn't seem to be many single people like herself, so Bai Lu couldn't help but look around for a while.

Someone's affectionate words are still in my ears: 'Lady, you just have to play, and your husband will find you.' ’
