As soon as the main book's voice fell, the reference students on the field turned around and walked briskly towards the exit of the second floor of Lanzhu. The voices of people in the middle of the building sounded one after another, and the students shouted the names of the references of each academy and cheered them on, watching them leave.

In the midst of a buzzing shout, Yi Yu and Lu Zhi walked at the back of the crowd, so as not to accidentally squeeze the injured Cheng Xiaofeng.

The students who left the building did not leave first, but surrounded the eldest grandson sisters, Gao Zijian, Shen Gongzi, Lu Zhi and other students who had taken woodcarvings in this art competition.

Yi Yu lifted the curtain and walked out last, and as soon as he isolated the hustle and bustle behind him, he saw Du He and two students from the academy coming up, and after a salute, Du He said:

"Dare to ask Miss Lu what she thinks about this topic."

After the beginning of the ceremonial art competition, the first thing to ask about the woodcarvers in this institute is both a kind of respect and tradition, and it is not necessarily necessary to give any advice, and being asked is itself a kind of recognition.

Yi Yu had been informed of this in advance, glanced at Lu Zhi, who was also stopped in front of him, and after saluting the three people in front of him, he replied generously: "The first half of this post is a puzzle, I thought you might as well go to the tea house planted with evergreen trees to look for it." ”

The first sentence of the post mentions "tea-scented green trees", and in this winter, evergreen trees are especially green. The two people who followed Du He to inquire about the jade. Apparently satisfied with her non-perfunctory answer, he smiled and thanked him, and hurried into the distance.

Du He didn't leave in a hurry, but said to Yi Yu: "When I went out in the morning, the horse had an awkward relationship with me, and it was inconvenient to ride today. ”

Lu Zhi sent away the four Tai Academy students, and when he turned around, he happened to hear his words, and Dai Yiyu replied, "If you are not interested in taking this woodcut, then come with us." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the lakeside path, Cheng Xiaofeng smiled, and followed with Yiyu, and after Du He stood in place for a while, he also trotted to follow.

Changsun Xian stood beside Changsun Xi, who was talking to the same person, glanced at a few figures in the distance, her eyes were sharp, and she said in her heart: You must not let them get the second woodcut.

Hu San, the strong coachman next to Lu Zhi, drove the carriage towards Dongdu, and in the car, Du He sat opposite Yi Yu and Cheng Xiaofeng, except for Lu Zhi on the side alone, the three of them were looking at the post with the title in their hands.

Du He said: "Miss Yilu, what do you mean, let's go to the tea house with evergreen trees to find someone, but there are many such places, where to start." ”

It takes half a day to drive a carriage through the entire Dongdu to go through the motions, not to mention getting out of the car to find someone, I'm afraid that three days will not be enough.

As for the second half of the sentence, the drinker is in the dark. There should be a restaurant near this teahouse, but the word darkness is a bit incomprehensible, literally, it means that the drinkers have to pass by secretly, strange, Brother Lu, what do you say? ”

Du He asked Lu Zhi, but Cheng Xiaofeng took over, "It's really troublesome, let's go to the back street to find a restaurant to sit in, and when the time is almost up, just go back directly, anyway, we won't fight for that woodcut." ”

Lu Zhi, who was holding a hidden curtain behind the car, turned his head and said, "The question of Lord Sacrificial Wine is not so simple for you to fool around, have you forgotten the student who pretended to be smart but got the worst last time." ”

The etiquette competition is not like others, everyone is likely to get woodcuts, few people will be like a few of them without the heart of contention, according to the rules the worst is from the evening competition has not come back from the end of the competition, according to the degree of completion of the competition, by the nine judges to choose the worst.

There is a leak in this rule. Someone once thought like Cheng Xiaofeng, who found a place to hide after the competition began, and ran back when the competition was over, but the wine lord who asked the question always had a way to find out such a student. Therefore, as long as you do it with your heart, you will not get the worst in the etiquette competition, but those who are indiscriminate will be at the bottom.

Cheng Xiaofeng sneered: "I'm just saying, I really don't know what Mr. Dongfang is doing, it's like knowing our every move, I really doubt that he sent someone to follow us." ”

Du He shook his head, "How could Lord Sacrificial Wine do such a troublesome thing, I think he is likely to arrange someone at the location mentioned on this post, and whoever goes or doesn't go, and someone will repay him if he doesn't do it." ”

Because they were not in a hurry to find someone, Cheng Xiaofeng and Du He turned to discuss how Dongfang You found out those students who were indiscriminate, and when Yi Yu saw Lu Zhi looking out of the window again, he asked:

"What is Big Brother looking at?"

"Let's see how many people are following us."

Du He and Yi Yu were both participating in the ritual art competition for the first time, and when they heard him say this, one closed his mouth and leaned over to look at him, and the other frowned and said:

"You mean those who fish in troubled waters?" In a contest like this, some people can't figure out the puzzle of the location on the post, so they will follow what they can come up with, and find the "lady" first.

Du He saw the carriage and horses that seemed to be following behind the carriage from the small hidden window, and pointed out: "I recognize the two horses riding, and I also recognize the carriage on the left, Brother Lu, the car behind it doesn't seem to be." ”

Lu Zhi lowered the small car curtain. Separated from his gaze, he said "sit firm" to the three of them, and then lifted the curtain and instructed Hu San:

"Take some detours, get rid of the people behind you, and don't bump into people."

After Yi Yu heard Hu San outside the car respond happily, with a whip, the carriage that was still moving at a constant speed just now rushed forward, Cheng Xiaofeng, who reacted quickly, stretched out the hand that was not injured and grabbed Lu Zhi, Du He quickly grabbed the door frame of the car with one hand, leaned over and stretched out the other hand to support Yu Yu, so that she could not hit Cheng Xiaofeng's arm holding the plank.

After sitting down again, Yi Yu and Cheng Xiaofeng shouted at Lu Zhi dissatisfiedly at the same time, and Lu Zhi glanced at Cheng Xiaofeng's sprained shoulder with a smile.

Cheng Xiaofeng, who was still dissatisfied just now, was a little weak by his eyes, let go of the hand holding him, and said to Yu Yu:

"Xiaoyu, you say, where are we going to find it?"

Yi Yu stared at the post in his hand a few more times, suddenly took it into his arms, and asked the three of them: "Do you know what the Lord of the Wine Festival has preferences, such as pen and ink calligraphy and painting, um... Preferably a special point of preference. ”

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, Cheng Xiaofeng, who had always felt a headache for all gentlemen in the school, shook his head, and Du He replied while thinking: "My father is familiar with Mr. Dongfang. This is a little heard, said that our sacrificial wine lord, the joy of pen and ink, but not as good as the love of flowers and plants, you ask what this does? ”

"Flowers and plants..."Yu Yu muttered in a low voice, answering Du He's question, "If we only follow the mystery on this post, if we are unlucky, we may not be able to find it in the evening, and the information that Lord Sacrificial Wine revealed to us is not just that post." ”

Du He seemed to understand a little. "You mean?"

Under the gaze of the three of them, Yi Yu raised his head and blinked, and explained clearly:

"Didn't Mr. Dongfang say, that lady only went to play the piano once in three days, today is just his turn, if it is not his own frequent place, how can it be so clear, there are many shops and restaurants in the East Metropolis, Mr. Dongfang is famous for not liking wine banquets, then he must have met the lady when he was visiting the shop, where he often goes, as long as he knows his preferences, it can be obtained, it is naturally convenient to find the location of the lady."

Cheng Xiaofeng's eyes widened and patted Yi Yu on the shoulder, "How long is your brain, why didn't I think of it." ”

After Du He sighed lightly, his face was full of praise, but his eyes were more obscure, only Lu Zhi asked rhetorically:

"The analysis is very good, but how did you know that Mr. Dongfang met that lady by chance, if they had known each other for a long time, your speculation would not be accurate."

In the trance-like and puzzled gazes of Cheng Xiaofeng and Du He, Yi Yu stretched out his white and tender index finger and nodded his chin, bent his eyes and smiled, and said crisply:

"It's intuition, Mr. Dongfang's topic, and the tone of his voice, make me think that he and this lady who plays the piano met by chance."

Today's weather is quite good, although the streets of the Eastern Metropolis are not as lively as the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but there are also people coming and going, and many pedestrians between different markets have noticed that from time to time there are students wearing the regular uniforms of the Guozijian driving by and looking along the street. I don't know what I'm looking for, thinking that today is the day of the art competition of the five courtyards of Guozijian, I feel it.

Yi Yu and his entourage went out of Guozijian's Wubenfang, and after getting rid of all the people who followed them, they rode in the Eastern Metropolis for half an hour, and after finding two markets, Hu Sancai drove his horse towards the East Street of Qimingfang under the command of Lu Zhi.

didn't take the car in, the four of them got out of the car and walked at the corner of the street, halfway through, Cheng Xiaofeng looked at the shops on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but say:

"Ah Zhi, Xiaoyu, you can't be mistaken, I didn't see the shadow of half a tea house in those two places just now, this street is mostly selling ornaments and gadgets, and there shouldn't be any tea houses."

Yi Yu took his eyes off the flower stand placed at the door of a shop, and said, "If the eldest brother is not mistaken, there are no two places just now, it must be near here." ”

Lu Zhi, who was walking in front, turned around, "I am not mistaken, I met Mr. Dongfang here, and there are goods such as flower pots and flower stands sold here." ”

The four of them walked along the side of the road for a while, and at the end of the day, Yi Yu and Lu Zhi stopped at the same time, took a deep breath, pointed to an alley on the side of the road, and said in unison:

"It's there."

Du He and Cheng Xiaofeng also followed their example, took a deep breath, and sure enough, they smelled the extremely light fragrance of tea wafting in the air, and the two of them were happy, followed behind the brother and sister, and strode into the alley.

At the end of this alley on East Street, a row of emerald branches and leaves emerged high from the courtyard wall, and an inconspicuous signboard hung outside the door of the house, and when the four of them walked in, the sound of the zhengzheng qin happened to sound. (！ )
