I hurriedly made a look, Li Jiu was in the market, his brain was not stupid, the expression on his face did not change, and he slowly turned his head to look out of the window, as if he was watching the excitement.

Today's festival, people basically go to the street to watch the lanterns and admire the moon, there are few people in this teahouse, there are only a few tables of guests in the hall of Nuoda, Xiao Er saw someone coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet, "A few guest officers, please go upstairs for tea, there are seats next to the window upstairs, ventilated and cool, and you can also see the ring of the Oiran Competition." ”

"Oh? And see the Oiran race? The Seven Princes said, "Okay, then let's go upstairs to the window, first have a pot of Jin Junmei, and serve a few good refreshments." ”

"Okay, guest officer, please ......" Xiao Er bowed, led us up to the second floor, and found a window seat to beckon us to sit down.

Xiao Er is right, upstairs is very ventilated and cool, and you can see the ring, but the location is a little off, plus the ring is full of red lanterns and hydrangeas, although you can hear the singing and dancing in the ring, but you can see it clearly. But everyone knew that the main event was behind, so they didn't care.

Xiao Er quickly served tea and snacks, called the guest officer to use it slowly, and retreated to the corner.

The breeze is gentle, the moon is in the sky outside the window, the downstairs is a lively crowd, and the distant is the song and swallow dance, and there is a special taste in the quiet of a moment.

After drinking two teas, Ji Yun often looked around, with doubts on his face, so he called Xiao Er and asked, "Shopkeeper, there are beautiful new lights hanging in the middle and outside of your building, but behind the screen diagonally opposite, there are a few oversized dilapidated lanterns, is there any reason?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced back and replied, "Hey, this guest officer, this is the case, this small shop last year, there was a noblely dressed and extraordinary guest, he was also sitting in your seat, and when he saw the end of the Oiran competition, he called the shopkeeper at home."

He took out a silver ticket with a thousand taels, and asked the shopkeeper to write these lamps on it, and if anyone is all right, he is willing to give it away with ten thousand gold. ”

"Oh, what a big deal, ten thousand taels of gold!" The Seven Princes sighed.

Ji Yunchang was puzzled, "Seeing that the lantern is so worn, isn't it that in this year, no one has put the lantern out?" ”

Xiao Erdao, "There are always some talented guest officers who have tried, and one or two pairs are also right, but no one is really right." ”

"No one has been right for a year?" The Seventh Prince became interested and said, "Hey, Eighth Prince, you are good at writing, and Yun Chang also has the name of the Fourth Prince of Shengjing, today is so lively, why don't we try it?" ”

"If the guest officer is interested, Xiao Er will bring the lamp." After saying that, without waiting for us to reply, he ran to turn the lantern, took out the silk cloth in the first lamp, ran back and shook it lightly.

"Who said that the peach blossoms are light and thin, look at the scorching beauty, and add color to how many beauties. Apricot blossom jade dew, envy thousands of flowers. There is no spring to come to winter, and the fruit will fall after all. ”

This is a couplet for the occasion, it should be the person who came out of the couplet sitting in front of the window, watching the warbler Yanyan dancing in the distance, and thinking that the woman in the Qinglou is just a moment of beauty, so she got the couplet.

Helian Yunnuma tapped his long fingers on the table a few times, and said with a slight smile, this couplet will be to "Qing praise the blessed land enchanting, overlooking the green mountains, and add which Qiongge floating clouds." The bright moon is bright, the eaves of thousands of homes are just waiting for the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and thousands of alleys are welcome. ”

"That's right!" As soon as the words fell, Ji Yunchang exclaimed.

I carefully tasted it, the reconciliation was neat, and the meaning of the words was merry, and it was really good!

The little two hurriedly went to get the paper and ink, wrote the pair on the paper, and went to get the second couplet.

"Qiao Nu is naturally delicate, and she hates rouge and gum face."

This is also a couplet, but it is a Tibetan couplet, Qiao Nu and the Jiao at the end of the sentence form a word, the last four words are the same, but it is a difficult couplet.

Helian Yunnuma was silent, his long fingers tapped lightly on the side of the table, Ji Yunchang pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth and said, "Although people's words are credible, they are afraid of Weishui mixing the Jing River." ”

People's words are to letters, four points of water are next to four points of the moon, good union!

Helian Yunnuma nodded approvingly. Although the Seventh Prince can't listen to it, he can listen to it, so he naturally nodded and said yes.

Xiao Er hurriedly clicked the coupling a few times, ran over, and took the third lamp to connect it.

This couplet is different from several others, the handwriting is dragon and phoenix dancing, with a scribbled arrogance, Helian Yunnuma got up and read, "The white head is eyebrows, watch the mandarin ducks fly with wings, the river flows, trickling into the heart." ”

This is a pair of concentric couplets, which is about the meaning of the couple's willingness to be mandarin ducks, and the words are not difficult, but the few people sitting are men, and they are a little embarrassed, and they don't speak for a while.

"Qingyang Qirui, peach and plum are concentric all over the world, light wind and drizzle, dripping and silent."

With a delicate voice, several women came up from downstairs, led by the one wearing a pink casual dress, with a slender figure and delicate eyebrows and eyes. She leaned on the railing to the second floor, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly got up and saluted, "Rong'er gave the two of you only heard someone sing a couplet, I don't know that the seven princes and the eight princes are all there, and I hope to forgive me for the abrupt place." ”

"See the two princes." Several women behind her also hurriedly saluted, I raised my eyes to see, there was another acquaintance in the crowd, it was Chen Xiangnian who talked to me for a long time that day, today she was wearing a green sleeved waist skirt, with long hair, very smart.

"Yo, isn't this the talented daughter of the Liuguo family? Why, you also came to Flower Street to enjoy the lanterns? The Seventh Prince smiled, "Hurry up and start the ceremony, everyone is out to play, how can there be such a number of courtesies, you should all get up." ”

"Xie Seventh Prince." Liu Rong'er saluted in thanks, and the latter people also stood up. She raised her head slightly, only then did she realize that it was Helian Yunnuma who sang right just now, and when she thought of the couplets that heralded the eternal union, she couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.

Helian Yunnuma didn't care, and said, "Everyone is out to shop the flower street today, don't stand all of them, if you are also interested in the lantern link, why don't you come over and have a look." ”

"Prince Xie." The group hurriedly thanked them.

Although the Eighth Prince said this, only Liu Rong'er and Chen Xiangnian really did it, and the other women sat at the back table of us, drinking tea with their heads slightly down.

When the little second brother on the side heard the invitation, the matter was already very nervous, standing on the side sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to do, the seventh prince was open-minded, and said, "Don't be nervous, didn't the girl of the Liu family come out just now, you just remember, go and get a pair." ”

"Yes, yes!" The child hurriedly took the pen to memorize, because of nervousness, he knocked the pen off several times, and finally finished remembering, and at the end, he trotted to get the lantern in another lantern, and carefully unfolded it.

"There is no phase inside, there is no general outside, I have to destroy the jade and seize the general, what will happen in the future."

What this couplet is talking about is that once there can be no prime minister in the middle of the country, there can be no generals who are too strong, if you don't get rid of internal and external troubles, you may not be able to look like in the future.

For some reason, when I saw this couplet, a monstrous anger ignited in my heart.

What does it mean that there can be no phase inside, and no general can be left outside! Everyone in the world is a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

My father is the prime minister of Dongmu, holding the military power of the first emperor, and he has never had a rebellion in his heart, and in the end, he was exterminated because of a sentence of high merit!

If you take this as a rule, even if you become a king, how long can you win the hearts of the people!

Glancing at the couplet, I said angrily, "The difficulty of the sky is difficult to measure, the earth is difficult to measure, and the emperor is measured in my chest, and the amount is okay." ”

I blurted out in anger for a while, but after I finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Only then did I remember that the two people in front of me were the princes of Xiqi. The prince is hollow, and both of them may become princes in the future.

I am so unscrupulous to talk about the emperor's policy, don't I have the intention of secretly instructing them to be broad-minded so that they can have a chance to become the emperor......

I was kind, but my face was as usual, and I didn't dare to panic at all. Everyone was dull, Chen Xiangnian looked at me secretly, as if he wanted to help me out, but he couldn't speak.

In the middle of the sound, Helian Yunnuma suddenly laughed, got up and clapped his hands, and said, "Good one," with the emperor in his chest, good, good! said yes, she is worthy of being the granddaughter of General Su's Mansion, and she is domineering! The store will be remembered well. ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Er nodded hurriedly.

Ji Yunchang also followed, "The word card is neat, but it is a good pair." Since this couplet has been paired, let's take a look at the next couplet. Shopkeeper, take down a couplet. ”

"Yes, yes." Xiao Er hurried to get the lantern, and everyone seemed to be relieved. Pretending to take a sip of tea from a cup, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Helian Yunnuma looking at me sideways, and the lights were dim outside, and I couldn't see through the look in his eyes.

After a while, Xiao Er ran back, and unlike before, this time he actually took two puzzles in his hand. There are six old lamps by the window, and we have broken four of them, so he must have brought the other two.

He put it on the table, and when he shook his hand, he saw that the lamp couplet was written on it: "Oil and Jiao candle, the candle is one heart, there is fire in the heart, and the fire lights the lamp oil." ”

This is a front and back to the end of the word couplet, a sentence without a word, to the shape of the object, want to come out, but also really take some thought.

Everyone thought in a deep voice, and there was no one for the occasion for a long time.

At this time, a sudden gong and drum sounded outside the window, Chen Xiangnian was startled, his eyes just caught a glimpse of a swaying lantern, his eyebrows suddenly bent, he stood up and said, "I'm right now!" I'm right, papier-mâché lanterns, with many eyes on the edge of the cage, and light in the eyes, and the light reflects colored paper. ”

Candles to lanterns, words and scenes, front and back, and finishes are connected.

Ji Yunchang nodded and praised: "Sure enough, it's right!" ”

"Gongzi Xie compliments." Chen Xiangnian lowered his head in shame, two red clouds on his cheeks simmered, and his face was like a ripe apple.

Helian Yunnuma smiled slightly, "That's right, let's write it down there, let's take a look, what is this last couplet, shop...... Open Link! ”

"Yes!" Xiao Er answered and picked up the couplet that had been placed on the table before.

This coupling is different from the others, not only is it very new, but even the cowhide rope buckle that ties the coupling seems to have not been moved.

Thinking that Xiao Er said before that no one solved all the lanterns, we were all a little excited, and we couldn't help but look at it, but when the lanterns unfolded, we were all stunned......

How could this be......
