Chapter 17: The Lantern Riddle
Bai Weiwei slowly withdrew his hand, turned his head to find the source of the sound, and was suddenly shocked, it turned out that the white gauze skirt was given to this girl. Although the girl is very beautiful and looks unique in her dress, she really did not meet Bai Weiwei's expectations.
After thinking about it, Hua Rongchang and Hua Qianhui came to Bai Weiwei's side. It turned out that Hua Rongchang couldn't resist Hua Qianhui, so she brought her to the Lantern Garden.
"Huh? Do you also like this lantern? Hua Qianhui smiled at Bai Weiwei friendly, and her words were brisk.
Bai Weiwei smiled back politely, the veil covered Bai Weiwei's lovely dimples, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes, smiling, looking intently at the daffodil lantern.
"Rosewood carving, Yingying in the water, want to float orchids. Light hoop fairy flowers, a lot of hardware glass, how can it be prosperous. Green silk and white wax, soft and soft, slightly saffron. To bloom a hundred flowers, you still need Lingbo green leaves, and read Fanghua. Lingbo fairy, the fallen god Xiangfei, the literati and scholars, all of them are pitiful. ”
Bai Weiwei improvised a few words, and carefully described the glass daffodil lamp vividly.
Hearing Bai Weiwei's description, Hua Qianhui was full of respect, and Hua Rongchang also took his eyes off the lantern and looked at Bai Weiwei plainly.
Bai Weiwei turned around slightly, the wind blew the skirt, the veil jumped slightly, and the green silk flew around her waist, fascinated the girl, but did not impress the delicate and silent young man.
"Where are you? Feng Yi is down, her temperament is extraordinary, she must have the appearance of a fallen city under the veil, and her talent is outstanding, which can be compared with my cousin. The cousin interrogated Bai Weiwei in a friendly manner.
Before Bai Weiwei could answer, Hua Rongchang realized that it was inappropriate, "Hui'er, don't say much." ”
Huarong Changshi spoke softly, but pretended to be angry, and then turned to face Bai Weiwei, bowing slightly, "The foolish sister is unreasonable, and I still hope for the girl Haihan." ”
Bai Weiwei then shifted his attention to Hua Rongchang, and at a glance, he knew that he was born extraordinary, he must be the eldest young master of Zhong Mingding's food family, dressed gorgeously and unassumingly, with extraordinary energy, smart and innocent eyes, outstanding appearance, tall and thin.
Bai Weiwei pondered, and for some reason there was a wave in his heart, and an indescribable emotion arose.
Bai Weiwei tried hard to throw away this emotion, thinking that this young man should be the young man who designed this white yarn that he saw in the silk workshop that day.
"Childe is too worried." Bai Weiwei returned politely, casual without indifference, gentle without courtesy.
Seeing such a harmonious scene, Hui'er grabbed the other arm from behind with one hand, pouted, and shouted at Donglang with a little anger, "Cousin, are you such a brother?" Where am I stupid? ”
Bai Weiwei was provoked by this girl's straightforwardness and laughed, "Sister, there is no brother in the world who doesn't love his sister." ”
After speaking, Bai Weiwei seemed to remember that he seemed to have said something similar before, talking about his brother, Mu Zhaotian.
Suddenly, Bai Weiwei had mixed feelings in his heart, left home, left his parents, and left his brother, and came here, looking at such a good pair of brothers and sisters, he really envied Bai Weiwei.
Hua Rongchang didn't care too much about Bai Weiwei's expression, just helpless, "Hui'er......"
"Does my sister want this lantern?" Bai Weiwei had no intention of seeing their brother and sister affection, so he simply interrupted their embarrassment.
"That's right." Hui'er was no longer entangled, and nodded, "Doesn't my sister want it too?" ”
"Love does not mean possession," Bai Weiwei is small, but she can still educate others, after all, she is also a person who is about to go to college, "If you have the ability to keep it, I sincerely hope that it will fall into your hands." ”
Hua Rongchang listened quietly, and there was not even a faint emotion in his eyes.
"How's that going to work?" Hui'er approached Bai Weiwei, "We want to be fair." ”
Bai Weiwei was about to ask how to be equal, when a middle-aged businessman came, this businessman had a bulging belly, followed by a person holding a brocade box, and several burly manservants behind him.
"Two young ladies, do you all fancy this lamp? Don't worry, I'm the owner of this lantern garden, come to give two people a lantern riddle, whoever answers correctly first, who can have this lantern. ”
Bai Weiwei and Hui'er looked at each other, looked at this person quietly, and agreed.
I saw this man take out a golden handkerchief from the brocade box, unfold it, and read, "The narcissus is swaying slowly, and the golden sun is fierce." The catkins rise because of the wind, and the rain also flies. ”
The boss paused after reading, and then said, "This riddle is different from other riddles, this riddle is the name of a living person. ”
The three of them were curious, but they didn't know who it was.
The boss then added, "This person Ama is a wealthy businessman in the capital. ”
Bai Weiwei was shocked, although he had never seen this wealthy businessman Amma, Bai Yan also said that he was one of the top business talents in the capital.
However, there is no word on the riddle that says his name, so he thinks too much......
Thinking of this, Bai Weiwei looked at Hui'er calmly and didn't say anything more.
"What?" Hui'er naturally didn't know.
However, Hua Rongchang is very smart, thought about it carefully, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If it's right, this is a woman's name, and the name must have the word "white", as for what it is, it's not very clear." ”
"That's right, Childe is right, it is indeed a woman, it must be written in white, this woman has been in a coma for three years." The boss smiled and promised, it seemed that there was a lot of time to play with them, and he was not in a hurry.
Bai Weiwei was more sure that the mystery was himself, but Bai Weiwei suddenly had a question, why did he tell himself again?
She was pondering, but the boss opened his mouth to her, "This girl, you must think about it!" ”
Bai Wei was the only one stunned, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this boss's gourd, he thought about it carefully, and finally said, "Bai Weiwei." ”
Hui'er looked at Bai Weiwei, and then looked at the boss, trying to confirm.
"Congratulations, girl." The boss was not too surprised, as if he was following the procedure step by step, and then showed the handkerchief to the two.
I saw a few lines of heroic and elegant words on the golden handkerchief, and the last three words were written very beautifully-Bai Weiwei, these brush words were shiny in a trance, as if the ink had not yet dried.
Hui'er saw that she was a little regretful and unwilling, although she had doubts, she didn't say anything, "Since my sister is right, then this lamp is my sister's." ”
Hua Rong grew up as a gentleman, "It's okay, there will definitely be a better one ahead." ”
Bai Weiwei looked at the two of them, she herself was confused, Hui'er turned to leave, Hua Rongchang seemed to remember Bai Weiwei, looked at her and left in a hurry.
Bai Weiwei, who didn't know why, felt a little invincible, and planned to give this lamp to Hui'er, so he took the lantern that was picked off by the boss at some point, and quickly chased after Hui'er.
Bai Weiwei looked ahead, and finally found the brother and sister through the crowd.
Hui'er is like a white butterfly, next to Hua Rongchang, flickering right and left, with a smile on her face, Hua Rongchang has no obvious expression on her face and lets Hui'er make trouble.
"They are really like me and my brother, I don't know how my brother is at home, have my mother and father returned home? And that one did I go to school for me? What has she made of my life? ”
Not in a hurry, Bai Weiwei walked as if he was traveling, and saw them passing by Wenzhu Pavilion.
"White girl," the boss suddenly stopped Bai Weiwei, "the mystery solver wants you to see him, he has been waiting for a long time." ”
