Forty-nine, Mid-Autumn Festival, blossoming flowers (2)
Just when the two of them were troubled by this riddle, Huan'er also came up, looked at the puzzle book on the table, and said, "Miss, don't talk about other people, even I have stayed by my wife's side since I was a child, and I can come into contact with calligraphy, painting, brush and ink every day, and I feel a little dizzy when I look at these puzzles." ”
An Sijin followed her gaze and looked at the booklet, "Then why do you feel dizzy?" Can't understand it? Still can't guess? ”
Huan'er pointed to one of the puzzles and said, "I still see the spring in front of me, play a word puzzle, this question is not just a simple guess of the word, but also contains the five elements of the five elements, the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, water and green, red, yellow, white, black five colors correspond, and the spring belongs to the "wood", so the "spring" buckle "green", the answer is to guess the word. If you don't look at the answer to this question, the slave doesn't know the five elements at all, let alone guess. ”
She nodded, although the puzzle is old-fashioned, but it is really difficult for those who have not guessed it.
Huan'er pointed to another question and continued, "The jade color is evenly rubbed by the slender hands, and the green oil is fried to make it tender and yellow. When the night comes to spring sleep, I know the severity, and the beautiful woman is wrapped around the gold.
Guess a food, and the answer is ring cake. There are few people who understand these four poems first, and the answers are often eaten by the common people, so most of the noblemen and the common people can't answer, only those who have been reading hard since childhood can answer, such a riddle is too provocative. ”
After listening to what Huan'er said, An Sijin also began to ponder.
Indeed, Huan'er's words hit the center of this lantern festival, since we want to do the business of nobles, we must distinguish the audience, not only to make the riddle easy to understand, but also to make the riddle easy to guess only by those who are nobles, and even to make it interesting.
At that moment, she clapped her hands and made a decision, "Uncle Housekeeper, we will remove all those complicated poetry titles, leave a small part for use, and then take my name card and invite Brother Yan from Liyuan to come for me." ”
The housekeeper put away the name post, saluted An Sijin, and then rushed to the pear orchard.
Baihua Street is not far from Chang'an Street, but An Sijin still waited for an hour.
Yan Qing still had a light sweat on his face, and hurriedly walked into the blossoming flowers before he could open his mouth, he picked up the flower tea in An Sijin's hand and drank it.
It wasn't until he regained his breath that he said slowly, "What is Ah Jin calling me to do in such a hurry?" I was just about to finish singing this scene, and I was pulled over by your housekeeper. ”
An Sijin laughed with him, picked up the pot and poured some more into the cup in Yan Qing's hand, "Brother Yan, I'm going to open a store today, how can you say that you have to come to help me support the field." ”
Yan Qing took another sip, with a doting tone in his tone, "You are smart, I will leave my pear orchard alone, come to you to help you support the field?" ”
She grabbed Yan Qing's sleeve and shook it, and said flatteringly, "The pear orchard is an existence that everyone knows about, and I'm still a new store!" Since Brother Yan recognizes me as a younger brother, help me support the field! ”
Yan Qing couldn't resist her coquettishness after all, "Okay, I know, then why are you calling me here now in such a hurry?" It's also a matter of night. ”
An Sijin scratched the back of his head, and then said the topic, "I heard that Brother Yan is Yu Ziqing's apprentice." ”
Yan Qing shook his head again and again, "You can't talk nonsense, how can a servant like me worship in the name of Master Yu, it's just that he takes care of me a lot." ”
She doesn't care about these nameless and untrue things, as long as Yu Ziqing really cares about Yan Qing.
"Then Brother Yan's talent should be one of the best in Jingzhou, right?!"
Yan Qing pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "Don't you talk nonsense anymore, just say it, what do you want me to do for you?" ”
"Isn't there a festival of lights at night? We also have lantern riddles in the store, but I can't look at those lantern riddles that have been used in previous years, it's too difficult and not fun, so I remembered Brother Yan, I must have been in contact with a lot of nobles on weekdays, what nobles like and what they think is interesting, Brother Yan should know best, so I want to trouble Brother Yan to help me out with some riddles. ”
Yan Qing knew that this mystery was not a difficult thing, but since Ah Jin begged himself and agreed to such a thing as supporting the scene, did he still care about such a trivial matter as a riddle?
After thinking about it, he answered,
Until the afterglow of the setting sun fades away, all the preparations for the blossoming flowers are nearing the end.
