However, Qin Ke heard most of the words they exchanged in private: "Look at that Chen Gongzi, tonight he has already guessed eighteen riddles, I heard that his father is Dali Zheng, his family is far-reaching, and he looks like Zhou Zheng." ”

"What is this?" Soon a woman laughed and said, "Tonight's guessing of lantern riddles is just the beginning, this is only the first round of lantern riddles in Jiuxianju, and it is too early to tell." Although this Chen Gongzi said that he was the first to take the lead, but the few people sitting next to him were not fuel-efficient lamps, and that Xu Gongzi's uncle was still a scholar, could his family education be worse than Chen Gongzi? But you see that he is still just sitting and laughing with a fan, and it is clear that he is going to the puzzle behind, and it is not a skill to be able to solve the puzzle in front, but only talent can be seen if he can solve the puzzle in the back. ”

"Yingying is right. Another woman interjected, only to see her eyes rolling, and laughed softly: "But how did I hear that your father has already talked to Taifu Shaoqing, and you praise Xu Gongzi so much, aren't you afraid of spreading it out and making people laugh?"

The woman called Yingying laughed and glared at the woman: "Which pot is not opened." I don't like that son of Taifu Shaoqing, at first glance, he is idle, he can't write a few lines of poetry, he knows how to play polo and go to the Qinglou all day long, if I marry him, I won't be angry. ”

......

Qin Ke shook his head, and when he heard the back, these women's hearts were no longer on the riddles, but more on the scholars who guessed the riddles, and even some women had secretly looked at the scholars.

Qin Ke found a place to sit down, and soon Xiao Er walked up, he was wearing an ordinary cotton clothes, and he couldn't find a piece of jade ornaments on his body, although the Bodhisattva in his hand was precious, but only those who knew the goods could see a few clues, naturally in Xiao Er's eyes, Qin Ke should just be a poor disciple, so his attitude was also bland: "Guest officer, what to order?" Today, Jiuxianju guesses the lantern riddle and has a prize, if you want to participate, you can register your name with me first." ”

Qin Ke smiled, he didn't care about Xiao Er's attitude, he was not a child of an official eunuch, although he had a lot of money now, but after all, he was still a poor ghost, he looked at the sign hanging on the counter, and said, "Just come to a pot of rice bar, a plate of pickled radish, and ...... Phoenix claws. ”

This is the special delicacy of the Tang Kingdom, it is rumored that the Ji Dynasty canonized the Tang Dynasty, the Tang King went to the Tang Kingdom on the way, saw the sky with a Luan Feng auspicious Rui fluttering by, and it was the Luan Feng that made the Tang Dynasty still calm and rich when the Ji Dynasty fell apart.

In the Tang Kingdom, calling chicken feet phoenix feet is also auspicious.

"Okay. Wait a minute. Xiao Er turned around, his face showed a little disdain, thinking that he was really not a high-roller, just a worthless meal.

However, Qin Ke stopped him: "Wait." ”

Xiao Er turned his head again, with a sincere smile on his face, and the speed of the change of face made Qin Ke secretly speechless: "Guest officer, what else do you want?"

"Didn't you say that you can participate in guessing lantern riddles?" Qin Ke smiled, thinking that he was sitting in it drinking rice wine at this moment, just guessing the lantern riddles, he wanted to see how long the person who was following him could stay, "I'll participate." My surname is Qin, and my name is Ke. ”

Xiao Er wrote down his name and left slowly, saying only that he only needed to let him hear it when he solved the puzzle.

Qin Ke is a little amazed by Xiao Er's ability to remember people's voices and names, and correspond to them one by one, if it weren't for this, everyone would have to go to Xiao Er to confirm after solving the puzzle, it was really troublesome.

Soon, the wine and food have come up, the phoenix claws are fished out of the brine, with a spicy fragrance, but the entrance is extremely soft, Qin Ke took a sip of rice wine, a mouthful of phoenix claws and ate very happily, and at this time everyone guessed the lantern riddle has reached the second round, Jiuxianju replaced the original lantern, and constantly hung up the new one, and everyone guessed the lantern riddle interest is strong, from time to time someone shouts loudly, indulge in wine carnival.

Qin Ke bit the phoenix claw in his mouth, raised his head and looked at a lantern riddle slightly, it was the first time he played such a game, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the words on the lantern: Two o'clock in the sky. Guess the word.

Qin Ke thought about it, his fingers moved slightly, there were two points on the word sky, isn't it just a close word?

Thinking of this, he said loudly to Xiao Er, "Isn't it, Guan?"

Xiao Er just glanced at him, and then shouted loudly: "Qin Ke Qin Gongzi, solve a puzzle!"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Qin Ke, he came by himself, and he didn't know anyone in this foreign country, so he just found a place to sit in the corner, which was not very inconspicuous.

And the group of women sitting together looked at Qin Ke's clothes, and then saw that he had no decorations all over his body, not even a piece of jade pendant, so they naturally regarded him as a scholar from a poor family, and they all showed a somewhat contemptuous smile.

Qin Ke didn't care, he just sat in place, continued to drink rice wine, tasted phoenix claws, and at the same time paid attention to whether there was anything unusual at the door, but people came and went, and the person who followed him was surprisingly cautious, and he didn't show any of his feet.

Since this is the case, Qin Ke set his eyes on the second lantern again, this one said that the sun and the moon are together.

Qin Ke pursed his lips and smiled, the sun and the moon are together, of course, together they are a clear word, so Xiao Er's shout rang out again: "Qin Ke Qin Gongzi, solve two puzzles!"

Seeing that it was so simple, Qin Ke's interest also came up, the lanterns in this building were all over the sky, and there was light everywhere, he just looked for those puzzles that were not difficult for him, and before he knew it, there were already two more pots of wine presented by Jiuxianju on the table.

In such a situation, even those scholars did not dare to ignore Qin Ke, a seemingly inconspicuous "humble scholar" sitting in the corner, and the women who pointed at him also took a few more glances at him, and the woman called Yingying looked at Qin Ke's leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but laugh: " This time, everyone wanted to come out on top and be a hero, but they all became bears in front of these simple puzzles, but this Qin Gongzi sat there and drank by himself, casually looking up and solving ten puzzles, which was a bit unexpected. ”

A somewhat plump woman opposite her smiled: "What, Yingying, have you taken a fancy to someone?"

Yingying was a little embarrassed and said: "Sister Yu, you know that if you make fun of me, I just praise others, why do I fall in love with others again? Even if people can answer ten puzzles correctly, it has nothing to do with me." Besides, who am I? Who is he? Can I take a fancy to him?"

"Yo, I'm in a hurry. Sister Yu grinned, "Who is he? Even if he is poor, he is a student full of poetry and books, even if he doesn't look good now, but where can he say for sure in the future? Don't look down on others, think about the young lady at home the year before last, she eloped with him for a farmer Hu Gongzi. At the beginning, others said that she entered the fire pit, but who knew that this year this Hu Gongzi was valued by the concubine Niangniang because of his good learning, and now although he is only the main book, who doesn't know that it will be a matter of time before he will soar in the future?"

"That's just a handful of things. Yingying snorted angrily, "How many people can be valued by the concubine? I can't do this kind of thing anyway, it's okay to win the bet, but if I lose the bet, won't I lose the whole game?"

Sister Yu smiled and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work." So what kind of wishful thinking are we looking for? Tell my sisters?"

Yingying thought about it, her eyes showed a little fascination, and she said softly: "My Ruyi Langjun, if only I could be full of poetry and poetry like the lord of the country, chic and uninhibited." ”

As soon as the words fell, the women at the table suddenly burst into laughter, and a white cat was shaken awake by the laughing woman in her sleepiness, screamed a little dissatisfied, and ran out of her arms.

"Ouch. Sister Yu laughed breathlessly, "Our Yingying is really ambitious......

Yingying blushed and said, "You want me to say it, and now you are laughing at me again, I just want to find a wishful man like the lord of the country, what's wrong?"
