At this time, everyone was already half drunk and excited, and as soon as these words came out, Qu Lingyu did not answer, and everyone asked Xu Wancun to clarify the reason.

Xu Wancun said: "In fact, it can't be said to be unfair, it can only be said that it is not a victory." According to my thoughts, Miss Qu must have already grasped the effectiveness of the two incense powders in the courtyard before she said such a topic, am I right?"

Mei Zhanxue said: "There is nothing unfair about this, I am willing to gamble and lose, who told me that I can't think of other topics?"

Wu Baoqi said: "Mr. Xu, at best, this can only be said to be a victory before the battle, and the temple is counted first." It's secretly in line with his grandson's will, but it can't be said to be cheating, isn't it?"

Qu Guanghan said: "Gamble, you have to bet that you don't know me, then it makes sense." The gambler rolls the dice, what time he wants is what time it is, that can't be called gambling, that's called cheating, I won't agree first. Ling'er, Miss Mei, you change the topic and start over again, this time let's increase the weight, all the losing side, except for the two girls, except for Mr. Xu, who has no internal strength, the three of us, each with one side, no matter which side loses, each drink a big bowl. But he didn't say why Chu Qingliu was excepted.

Xu Wancun said: "It's okay, I'll drink a big bowl too, Miss Qu, you can come up with another topic." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "The topic of incense powder, if I lose later, Miss Mei wins, after you elders make such a fuss, can you still do it?"

Xu Wancun said in disbelief: "No, how can there be such a thing? How can you lose? Although I have drunk wine, my nose is always there, and I can still distinguish the smell and materials of these two kinds of incense powder." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "I mean, in case, if my Helan Dongsha loses and Miss Mei wins, so what?"

Wei Shuoren said first: "If the third sister can win, then I will drink two more bowls." ”

Xu Wancun said: "Then I will leave a prescription to diagnose and treat Mr. Zhang's back sores in the northwest." You know, this is not a favor, this is against my original intention. I like this Mr. Zhang's pretentious energy, but he only knows how to be an official, and he doesn't know how to do anything else, so I don't like it very much. In order to be an official, he did not hesitate to provoke the two countries to fight and involve innocent people, which was very annoying. However, if you lose, I'll make a prescription, and I don't care if he likes to use it or not. ”

Qu Lingyu said, "Okay." How to compare next, I listen to Miss Mei. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "We've been sitting and talking for so long, it's time to do something." Later, the wild bees will fly, and as soon as the winners and losers of the incense powder are divided, the second brother will pat the table and count, a total of ten shots, and the two of us will go out and catch the wild bees and come back, to see who catches more bees. You can't use medicine, you can't use handkerchiefs and bowls, you can only catch them with your bare hands, and you can only catch them alive, not dead. Is this an okay topic?"

Xu Wancun said: "Is it okay? That's not an inch. Hunting wild bees empty-handed, do you think it's fun?"

Wu Baoqi said: "If Mr. Xu has other good ideas, you might as well say one to listen." ”

Xu Wancun said: "I don't have any good ideas, and I don't want to spoil Mei San's interest." He took out a medicine bottle and said, "You two, if you don't want the bees to sting into big fat people, apply this medicine to your head, face, hands and feet, and then think about going out to catch bees." I'm so drunk that I don't have time to cure your bee venom. ”

He is telling the truth. Qu Lingyu took the medicine bottle, beckoned Mei Zhanxue to retreat to another room, helped each other, applied medicine to the head, face, neck, hands, and forearms without cover, and came back to return the medicine bottle.

Everyone stopped drinking and looked at the courtyard in unison. After a while, wild bees flew in. The bee first galloped to Qu Lingyu's Helan Dongsha, and when it flew close to a foot, it turned around and flew towards Mei Zhanxue's incense powder, which hovered on the saucer. There were only two or three wild bees on the plate where Helan Dongsha was held, and they all looked like they were drunk.

Qu Lingyu smiled: "Mr. Xu, I lost. ”

Xu Wancun said: "How can there be such a thing?" got up and was about to go to the courtyard to check, took two steps and turned back to sit down, and said: "It's not that you lost, it's really me who lost." Pick up the wine bowl and drink it dry, urging Wu Baoqi and Qu Guanghan to drink it dry. Wei Shuoren drank two bowls and said to Chu Qingliu: "Quick, slap the table and count." ”

In order to show fairness, Chu Qingliu invited Qu and Mei to come to the door and stand still one by one, before returning to their seats and slapping the table.

The second daughter heard the sound and rushed towards the swarm of bees in the courtyard. The two of them are naturally not enough to mention in the eyes of everyone present, and what is a little surprising is that Mei Zhanxue's body method is not slightly lower than Qu Lingyu's, it seems that she has worked hard these days, and her entry is not small, so it is no wonder that she will have such a topic as catching bees.

Qu Lingyu fought steadily, while Mei Zhanxue won quickly, and changed to attack the next one if she missed a hit. Ten hits on the table were quickly finished, and the two went back to the room to take their seats, and put the wild bees in their hands on the table to count.

Mei Zhanxue caught eight, and Qu Lingyu caught seven. It is not easy to catch bees, and how to place the captured live bees is even more difficult, because there are not many to catch. Chu Qingliu said happily: "The third sister has won." ”

Qu Lingyu glared at him slightly, spit out a small bottle from his mouth, and poured out two bees. The two bees had been in their mouths for a long time, and they had already lost their minds, but they were still alive, not dead.

Qu Lingyu said: "The vial was put in my mouth before I went out, and it was originally filled with spices. Everyone also saw it, I just caught it with both hands, not the vial, so it can't be said that the rules are broken. ”

Qu Guanghan scolded with a smile: "You just have too many thoughts. ”

Wei Shuoren praised: "This method is good, I didn't think of it in advance, this is not a violation of the rules." In this game, except for Wei Shuoren, the rest of the people all thought that Mei Zhanxue would win the bee catch, and they each admitted defeat and drank, Qu Lingyu and Mei Zhanxue withdrew and washed off their heads and necks, and re-seated their hands.

Wei Shuoren said: "Today's wine is happy, Mr. Qu, it's time for the two of us to be the opposite, you come up with the topic." ”

Qu Guanghan said: "The court let Ruan Yi come out and get a special inspector of the Imperial City Division, I don't like it----"

Wu Baoqi said: "You don't like it, I'm tired of it, I have already told the two of them." ”

Qu Guanghan said to Wei Shuoren: "I don't know if Mr. Wei likes it or not, let's just don't like it either, so how should you embarrass Ruan Yi?"

Wei Shuoren said: "This is not a serious matter, you can talk about it." However, your question is a bit long and short, which is not fair. ”

Xu Wancun said with a smile: "Wei Da, it seems that you are really not drunk, this topic is indeed unfair, a bit long and short." This topic must have been in Mr. Qu's heart for many days, but what about Lao Wei, he heard it for the first time, and it was unfair. In addition, Mr. Qu, you think about the general trend of the world all day long, and Lao Wei thinks about private killings and private fights, and you are not good at dealing with such things, which is another unfairness. ”

Qu Guanghan said: "Wei Daxia may not have thought about the general trend of the world. However, what Mr. Xu said is not unreasonable, this topic is not very appropriate, let's change it again. ”

Wei Shuoren said: "Mr. Qu, you first talk about how you will embarrass Ruan Yi, and then talk about new topics." ”

Qu Guanghan said: "If you want to deal with Ruan Yi, it's still easy. He only needs to go to the capital to buy Ruan Yi's opponent with a few taels of silver, drag his crotch bone, and create some rumors, so that Emperor Zhao no longer believes in Ruan Yi, making him difficult to protect himself, and he is too busy to take care of himself, and this Ruan Yi will be powerless. What a detective department, it's all bullshit. ”

Wei Shuoren nodded and said, "It's really a good way, Miss Qu is full of scheming, and she has a background." Please say a new topic. ”

Qu Guanghan said: "I'm a person, the last thing I can do is play, and if I want to have fun when I come up with a topic, it's difficult." Brother Wu, what do you see?"

Wu Baoqi said: "I don't get involved in the affairs of the two of you, you ask your daughter to go." ”

Qu Lingyu said to Chu Qingliu: "Senior brother, you can also make an idea for me, you can't just look at me and be embarrassed." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "I also have an idea." I'm just worried, if Mr. Qu can't answer this question, and the eldest brother can't answer it, and he can't tell the difference between winning and losing, what can I do?"

Wei Shuoren said: "There will be such a thing? I don't believe it." ”

Chu Qingliu said helplessly: "Big brother, my topic is a guessing puzzle, and the things you want to guess are all things that you two are not familiar with, how can you guess it?"

Wei Shuoren said: "The guessing riddle is played by a woman's family, and I can't do it." ”

Qu Guanghan said: "I can't do it either." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "It's fun if you can't do it." Senior brother, hurry up. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Listen to it, this mystery is like this: sit alone on the wall when you are free, hold the beauty in your arms when you are busy, and make a good sound with a brush, this thing was originally from the Western Regions, guess a musical instrument." He explained it word by word.

Wei Shuoren looked at Qu Lingyu, and Zou Mei said, "The fat powder is too strong. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Mr. Wei, this mystery is not for me to tell my senior brother, but I can guess it." Chu Qingliu was stunned.

Qu Lingyu whispered: "Senior brother, how do I know, I think you should be able to guess it." ”

Xu Wancun said: "This riddle is not difficult to guess, there are only a few musical instruments, and even fewer have been transmitted from the Western Regions." ”

Wu Baoqi said: "I have been to the west of the Green Ridge, and I still have some points in my heart. That's good, I'll write out a few common ringers in the Western Regions, and let the two of them guess according to the list, which will be much easier. ”

Qu Guanghan smiled bitterly: "It's too boring to guess like this, if you want to spread it, I don't know how many big teeth you have to laugh at." ”

Wu Baoqi said with a smile: "Brother Qu, you are dying to save face." Ling'er, do you think I can't write this list?"

Qu Lingyu sighed and said, "Master, you better write quickly, otherwise, I don't know how long these two will have to grind." "I want to come to the pen and ink and hand it over to Wu Baoqi. Wu Baoqi wrote while thinking about it, and made a list, and there were more than ten kinds of them: gonghou, flute, horizontal blowing, trumpet, pipa, suona, clapper, cymbal, tambourine, dulcimer, erhu, huqin, qiang flute, and other common rattles are all in it.

After writing, he said: "These are all objects that can often be seen in the Western Regions and are also found in the Central Plains, and I have not studied much here, so there will definitely be mistakes." As for which comes first, which side is original and which side is last, it is impossible to distinguish which side is last. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Yes, it's written correctly." ”

Xu Wancun said: "Chu Er, aren't you stupid? When you say that, doesn't that mean that the object you want to guess is on the list?"

Qu Guanghan said with a smile: "How can there be a little bit of guessing what a riddle should look like? Let me say it first, it must be a clapper." ”

Xu Wancun exclaimed: "Mr. Qu, it will definitely not be a clapper. Do you still need to hold it in your arms? Do you still need to brush and squeeze? Alas!"

Wei Shuoren said: "According to me, it will definitely not be a clapper, it will be suona! Second brother, is it suona!"

Xu Wancun shouted: "Su-na--- suona, if you want to hug it, can you hold it for a short time, can you use it to brush and squeeze?"

Chu Qingliu said: "It seems that they are all drunk, and they all understand it so clearly, how can they not guess?"

Qu Lingyu said: "None of them are drunk, I'm afraid it's you who are drunk." ”

Speaking of which, no one even uttered the word "pipa". Seeing that neither of them wanted to say the word "pipa", Qu Lingyu had to say, "Is it pipa?" Chu Qing nodded again and again, and said: "It's all at this time, and there are not a few names left to say, and it's not difficult to guess." But he didn't think about why Qu Lingyu knew that it was a pipa.

One sentence caused the whole house to laugh, and everyone raised their glasses and bowls to drink together, until Xu Wancun fell to the ground, motionless and loud.

Wei Shuoren left the table and stood up and said, "Mr. Qu, Master Wu, I drank this wine happily today, and I was really happy. It's a pity that there is no banquet in the world, so let's say goodbye. ”

Untied the heavy knife on his back and handed it to Mei Zhanxue, pulled Xu Wancun to his back, and said, "Second brother, you still have Mr. Jiang Yuefu's business, I can't reach out to help you, and you can't go to Jiangling with me." If the heavens have eyes, you and I will be able to see each other one day. Don't forget that March. He staggered out the hall door.

Chu Qingliu knew that he couldn't keep it, so he chased it out and said, "Third sister, listen to me, the eldest brother is so drunk that it is already difficult to walk." After descending the mountain, as soon as you meet the town store, you will stay and rest and leave tomorrow. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "Second brother, I'm not a child anymore, I know in my heart, you should take care." Hurry up and help Wei Shuoren out of the temple.

The four people in the hall were talking about fast drinking, Qu Lingyu and Chu Qing were drunk first, and they didn't know what their father and master had said, and when they would disperse.
