Xia Qian and Tuoba Jin play a reduced price multiplication and division of twenty-four, the rules are very simple, four cards at a time, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at will, four must be used up, and each card can only be used once, the first to calculate the twenty-four wins.

This game is a game for seven or eight-year-old children, but if you compare speed, you rely on memory and mental arithmetic, and the comparison is purely powerful, and you can't get any luck.

If I had to say anything else, it would be faith!

In modern life, Xia Qian has been playing for many years, not to mention the low-level operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, even if it is compound function calculus, she has learned it well.

Crucially, she has an impressive memory and amazing speed of calculations.

Therefore, it was full of confidence from the beginning.

Tuoba Jin's addition and subtraction is okay, but when it comes to multiplication and division, it slows down obviously - it seems that the multiplication table is not memorized, and the inverse operation can't be played!

Looking at Xia Qian with a calm face, his previous calmness and composure were gradually depleting.

After losing five games in a row, he rubbed his eyes.

When he lost the tenth game, he took a sip of tea.

After playing seventeen rounds, Xia Qian chuckled lightly and said, "If you lose sixteen games, I can let you win the remaining three games, so that you can win four games!" ”

Tuoba Jin looked at the chess and cards on the table and replied convincingly: "This game is indeed very fair, I admit that my memory and mental arithmetic are not as good as yours." Mahjong just now, it's not a fluke that you won me ten times, I'm willing to gamble and lose. Tomorrow at the south gate, I will have an apology letter posted! ”

The aroma of the hot pot next door and the rich smell of osmanthus wine came over, and the four of them walked to the main hall next door together.

Situ Jun looked at the twenty jars of osmanthus wine on the table, took off the fast gold medal from his waist and handed it to Yu Nuan: "Take this and invite your young master over, this wine is his private collection, it's not authentic for us to drink it like this!" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, I heard that from today onwards, there will be thousands of miles of flowers inside and outside Qinglong City for three consecutive days, and hundreds of miles of lights will be bright. At night, there are 10,000 Kong Ming lanterns blooming, and the pro-army of the imperial city must be the busiest these days! Yu Nuan explained.

Xia Qian looked out of the window in surprise and sighed: "Ten thousand Kong Ming lanterns are blooming, so it won't be a brilliant meteor shower?" The king of Yi is really atmospheric, I don't know how much silver will be spent on the Spring Festival? ”

"Thousands of miles of flowers, hundreds of miles of lights, from the world to the sky, a fuss is three days. Not to mention the three million taels of silver, where is the king of Yi willing to give up, but someone is willing to spend time and generosity. Tuoba Jin looked at Que Ming and answered with a smile.

After the five of them sat down, Mingzhu poured all the wine for everyone.

Xia Qian had promised Huo Zun not to drink outside, so he found an excuse to push the wine away.

Lin Qianxue knew that she had a shallow amount of alcohol, and Situ Jun knew that she and Huo Zun had this agreement, Tuoba Jin tasted this wine well, and it was not enough for him to let go of it, so he naturally would not persuade her. Que Ming has always been casual, and after drinking a few glasses with them, he poured himself a drink, and occasionally chatted with Xia Qian.

"It's almost time to finish eating, let's go to the river together, and we must be able to see the meteor shower gathered by Kong Ming lanterns!" Lin Qianxue proposed.

Situ Jun's eyes fell on Tuoba Jin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Tuoba Jin, you lost ten times just now, and now it's time for this king to ask questions." First, you just said that this time the sea of flowers and the lights of a hundred miles are the will of the king of Yi, but there is indeed someone else who gives the silver, but is it true? ”

"Of course it's true!"

"Second, who is the one who gives the money? What purpose? ”

Tuoba Jin seemed to think for a long time, and finally took a sip from his glass.

"Your second and third questions are so direct, obviously you are very interested in this Flower Sea Lantern Festival. It is said that a year and a half ago, in order to invite a pot of hero tea for your sweetheart, you also made a similar sea of flowers and lanterns. Interested in seeing someone follow suit, right? ”

The other party's answer to the question obviously made Situ Jun feel dissatisfied, he curled the corners of his lips and scratched at the other party, and reminded seriously: "I just want to know who in Qinglong City, except for Huo, Lu, and Kuo, has the financial resources?" Don't forget our rules of the game, you have to answer all questions! ”

"As far as I know, the royal family of Yi is just a good name, and it is not the Yi people who make the money, as for the purpose, I don't know, maybe it's a good mood, or maybe it's a smile for the Pomeranians. Move on to your fourth question! ”

Lin Qianxue's eyes fell on Xia Qian, and said with a light smile: "If it's really the latter, then it's interesting." A beautiful smile is worth a thousand gold, there were princes of the beacon fire opera in ancient times, and now there is a sea of flowers and lights, but unfortunately I don't know whose daughter it is, otherwise I can have to take a serious look! ”

Situ Jun drank a glass of wine very disapprovingly, and sighed: "What's so good about the princes of the Beacon Opera, one is lost to the country, and the other is stinking for 10,000 years." Tuoba Jin, since you can't answer anything, I'll sing us a song in a while, and I'll spare you after brushing the pot and washing the dishes. Oh, one more, find a troika to take us back! ”

"So kind? Cheng, I promise to be responsible for the safety of the three of you at night! ”

The generosity shown by Xia Qian and Situ Jun was something Tuoba Jin did not expect, if he was in the Mobei Palace, he would be cautious everywhere and would be picked by others.

And these two women, he was offended in his words today, and as a result, he let him go when the other party had every chance to humiliate him. This made him feel a little more respectful and friendly to the two of them from the bottom of his heart.

When the dusk took away the last rays of light, the solemn darkness climbed up the sky.

Before you know it, the lights inside and outside Qinglong City are already bright.

I heard that there are 10,000 Kong Ming lanterns on the river, and people have already stood on the ice early.

"Fortunately, there is a 500-meter-long open space in front of this attic, otherwise we would have been separated when we went out!" Lin Qianxue smiled and led everyone to hug.

When 10,000 Kong Ming lanterns bloom on the river surface, they are as bright as a galaxy, as bright as day, and the intoxicating starry sky is within reach, dancing with the wind above everyone's heads, and the scene is very spectacular.

The exclamations of the adults, the screams of the children, and the laughter of the young people all merged.

The bright lanterns flew higher and higher, and many people reluctantly chased along the river, and Situ Jun and Tuoba Jin also ran with the crowd unsatisfied.

I heard that the big red lanterns hanging high on the riverbank are very exquisite, and the red lanterns that illuminate the road are all exquisitely shaped and richly patterned, and there are anagrams on them, and those who guess the answer to the riddle can also get a lantern, Lin Qianxue, Mingzhu and Yu Nuan all went to see it.

In the wide courtyard, there were only two people left, Xia Qian and Que Ming.

"Do you like this night scene?" Que Ming asked with a smile.

"Well, yes, very good-looking!" Xia Qian replied happily, suddenly her eyes fell on Que Ming's face, and she asked in surprise: "I heard that the lantern show ahead is good, don't you go to see them with you?" ”

Que Ming looked at her, her face was less leisurely and more gentle, and replied with a chuckle: "Everyone is gone, who will protect you?" ”

"Protect me?" Xia Qian was stunned, "My husband is a personal soldier stationed at the south city gate, and when I return to the city, I must pass by him, I see who dares to touch me!" ”

Que Ming smiled and didn't say anything.

From time to time, there are people on the ice who put lamps to make wishes, and rows of wishing lamps float away with the wind, like dozens of long dragons flying between heaven and earth.

"Go make a wish, maybe it will come true!" Que Ming proposed.

Tonight's wishing lanterns are all sky-high, the reason is that all the Kong Ming lanterns in Qinglong City were bought by the royal family, and the only five hundred of them were made in a hurry.

Que Ming did not hesitate to choose the two most exquisite of them and gave one of them to Xia Qian.

Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, took out five hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to him: "The wish must be sincere, and I have to pay for this silver myself." ”

Que Ming was stunned for a long time, and took the silver ticket with a smile.

There are two types of people who make wishes, the first is to hide their wishes in their hearts and think silently when they put on the lamp. The second is to write the wish on the lamp, so that the person who sees it is also willing to send their own blessing.

Que Ming is the former, while Xia Qian is the second.

The light green Kong Ming lantern illuminates the expressions on the faces of the two of them clearly.

Please hold the lantern, Xia Qian waved her pen and ink, and clearly wrote two lines of words on the lamp - I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be Chanjuan for thousands of miles!

Looking at the ten big characters of this delicate and delicate, Que Ming's face was stunned, and there were sparks of excitement in his eyes.

Xia Qian didn't notice his expression, picked up the pen and made a serious sub-draw in the middle of the two lines.

The content is very simple, that is, the acacia flowers and the Angelo on her shoes are drawn. Although there are only a few brushstrokes, they are vivid and expressive.

After the completion of the work, she left her name after "I wish people a long time", and when the tip of the pen just fell on the "Thousand Miles of Gong Chanjuan", a big hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and hugged her tightly in her arms.
