Chapter 561: Pairs
The night is not dark.
On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the lights are bright.
The banks of the river are covered with lanterns, like two long dragons, illuminating the river and illuminating both banks.
There are several large double-decker boats moored in the river, on which the sound of the piano is flowing and the song is melodious.
On both sides of the river, it is crowded with people and lively.
In addition to the literati and artists who came to participate in the meeting, there were also young men and girls who liked to watch the excitement, as well as all kinds of vendors who shouted and shouted.
When Chu Xiaoye and his party came here, when they heard the warm cheers of the literati on the riverbank, and the sound of the piano like flowing water came from the big boat in the river, it seemed that a talented man had made a good poem and caused a sensation.
Chu Xiaoye looked at this lively picture, and suddenly remembered the outside world, as well as the world when he was a human being.
This is ancient times, but outside, it is a modern era with advanced technology.
If, as Anne said, the outside world is only a shadow or an experimental object here, then it is obvious that the development of that experimental object has not succeeded.
The collapse of the world speaks for itself.
Perhaps, the faster it develops, the more it will damage the world, and then the faster it will be destroyed.
When the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow, and there is nothing after the peak, you can stay at the peak all the time, and there will always be a time to fall.
The world here, equivalent to the ancient times of the outside world, is still developing step by step, slowly, and no one knows what it will develop into in the end.
Perhaps the wheel of history will continue to move forward, no one can change it, and in the end it will still develop into the outside world.
Or perhaps, with the lessons of the outside world, the development here will completely change the original trajectory and move towards a slower and longer direction under the leadership of a certain ancient emperor.
"Sister! Look, there's a pair over there! There are so many beautiful little gifts! ”
While Chu Xiaoye was thinking wildly, the little girl pulled Qin Mo'er and squeezed towards the place where a group of people gathered, with an excited look on his face.
"Little girl, slow down!"
Qin Yu hurriedly followed.
Qin Zhitan was helpless, so he had to follow, and smiled bitterly at Chu Xiaoye beside him: "These two girls like to join in the fun." ”
A young man dressed in a long robe and looking like a literati is setting up a stall on the street by the river, which is full of pairs, and below the pairs, there are exquisite small gifts.
He wrote these pairs himself, and whoever could match them would get some small gifts.
It may have been a loss-making business, and he didn't get a penny anyway.
However, literati don't care about money, especially when the poetry club is not far away.
They only care about names.
The more people see these pairs, the better it will be for his reputation.
Use this kind of gimmick to attract people, and most of the people who are attracted are some talented literati, if the other party is good and talented, then you can also make a friend, and the road will be wider in the future.
Qin Mo'er, the eldest lady of the Qin family, not only likes poetry, but also likes pairs.
So when Xiao Yan saw this stall, he immediately pulled her over, wanting her to help him win a few beautiful little gifts.
However, the easier pairs have long been matched by the onlookers, and the rest are more difficult.
Qin Mo'er frowned and looked at it for a while, then shook her head at the little girl, indicating that she couldn't do anything.
Xiao Liang looked unhappy and said: "It would be good if the eldest brother was here, the eldest brother would hurt the little girl, and he would definitely be able to help the little boy win all these gifts." ”
When a young man next to him heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Little girl, is your eldest brother really that powerful?" Say it and let me see if I recognize it? ”
The literati gathered in front of the booth were racking their brains to think about the few remaining pairs.
This little girl suddenly said something like that, isn't this saying that her eldest brother is more powerful than the literati present?
The literati are the proudest, and they can't listen to boasting in front of them that others are more powerful, unless that person has a great reputation, and they think they can't compare.
Therefore, at this moment, this young man felt very unconvinced.
As soon as he spoke, several other young people next to him also looked at him, and seeing that it was just a little girl, Fang smiled and said, "How can a child really speak." These pairs are not simple, even if our four great talents in Suzhou and Hangzhou are here, it is estimated that it will take some effort. Brother Cai, let's think about it again, don't embarrass the children. ”
The young man named Cai Zheng smiled, ignored the girl beside him, and continued to look at the pairs.
The little girl felt that he was being despised and said unconvinced: "My eldest brother is so powerful!" You can't compare! ”
Qin Mo'er hurriedly patted her head and said, "Little girl! Stop talking nonsense! Let's go! ”
The young men smiled and ignored them.
The little boy had a bullish temper, shook his hands, stomped his feet and said, "If you don't go, you won't go!" Second brother, you go and call the eldest brother! I want these little gifts! Big brother loves me the most, and he will definitely help me win it! ”
The young stall owner smiled, picked up a small gift from under a couplet, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Little sister, take it, go over there to play, don't disturb these brothers to think." ”
Although the little boy was naughty and mischievous, he was very proud and said, "Don't! I want to win it with dignity, so I don't want your charity!" ”
The young men next to him frowned, looking a little impatient.
They were thinking about the pair in their heads, and this little girl was babbling here all the time, which was really annoying.
Qin Mo'er also saw the displeasure of this literati, and immediately pulled her and said, "Little girl! Walk! ”
Qin Yu also pulled her from the other side and said, "Little sister, let's go, the second brother will go over there and buy you a few pieces, how much do you want, how much you want!" ”
The little boy sat on the ground with his butt, cried "wow", and said, "Don't go!" Don't go! I want a gift here! I want a gift here! ”
The young men turned their faces sideways, a look of disgust.
Qin Zhitan had no choice but to step forward and scold: "Little girl! If you don't obey again, Dad will beat you! ”
Xiao Liang was still sitting on the ground and splashing, crying pear blossoms with rain, extremely sad, and hugged the table leg in front of her, no matter how Qin Mo'er and Qin Yu pulled, she just refused to let go and get up.
The young men frowned and prepared to leave.
The young stall owner also looked helpless.
Just as Qin Zhitan was facing a tiger and was about to go up and forcibly take her away, Chu Xiaoye suddenly said: "Little girl, why don't you help Brother Chu match these pairs for you and win the gifts, let's go, okay?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the little girl immediately stopped crying.
She turned her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Chu is a liar!" You don't know how to pair up! ”
The young men who were about to leave also stopped and looked over.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the pairs hanging in front of the stall, and the strange feelings in his heart could not be dispersed for a long time.
He had seen all of these pairs, and he still remembered them.
