Volume 1 Young and frivolous and more swordsman Chapter 104 Lantern theme

After noon that day, urging voices came from outside Xu Ming'er's boudoir from time to time, "Sister, aren't you ready yet? Is it really going to take so long to change my clothes and dress up? If you delay like this, it will be dark."

This was already what Xu Erjue said outside the door. Finally, not long after this urge, the door of Xu Minger's boudoir opened from the inside.

Xu Erjue looked at Xu Ming'er who walked out of the room and couldn't help but praise: "Sister, I'm so beautiful today."

Although he was my brother at that time, Xu Minger was still happy when she heard someone praise him. However, she was shy and said dissatisfiedly to Xu Erjue: "I'll let me wait for me outside for a moment, and will it take half an hour to urge me?"

Xu Erjue said aggrievedly: "Sister, he is called Songjiang's number one talented woman, but as a talented woman, really don't know what a moment means?"

Xu Minger knew that she was in the wrong, and whispered to Xu Erjue: "This is the first time I went to a temple fair, so I naturally have to dress up carefully. My sister is dressed up beautifully. Isn't this younger brother also worthy of face?"

"Okay, sister, let's go quickly. I heard that there are lion dancers and stilt-strollers over there." Xu Erjue pulled Xu Ming'er and left.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Xu Minger and Xu Erjue came all the way to the temple fair in Dongding and got off the car in front of the Niangniang Temple. Although today is the last day of the temple fair, they are still in the morning and there are not many people at the temple fair. Usually, the temple fair is the most lively in the evening, and the performances that reward the gods only start after the You hour.

Seeing this, Xu Ming'er couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with the temple fair of the Niangniang Temple. She complained to Xu Erjue: "Erjue, I keep urging you, there are no people here now."

Xu Erjue said: "Sister, I heard that the temple fair here is the largest temple fair in the capital. It is better to have few people now. Let's go around and watch the performance later. I heard that the Bixia Yuanjun Niang Temple here is very effective. Many people come here from all directions to burn incense and pray for blessings. Why don't we go to the temple to worship first?"

Xu Minger nodded. The two of them arrived at the square in front of the temple and looked at the strange incense and candle shops. Xu Minger and the two of them didn't know which incense they should buy to pray for blessings in the temple.

After asking all the incense and candle shops one by one, Xu Erjue was embarrassed. He really had nothing to ask for at his age, so Xu Erjue didn't care which kind of incense they sold, and just walked to a shop to buy a handful.

Xu Ming'er quietly walked to a shop, bought a handful of incense, and then secretly hid it as if she had done something bad.

When Xu Ming'er bought the incense candle and came out, Xu Erjue also walked over with the incense candle and said, "Sister, let's go in."

After passing the magnificent temple gate, the two of them bowed one by one in each hall, and even the Wang Lingguan Hall guarding the mountain gate did not fall.

When we arrived in front of the main hall, a huge square tripod stood in front of the hall gate, and a fire candle was lit on the edge of the square tripod for people to burn incense.

When Xu Erjue took out the incense and prepared to approach the candle to light the incense, Xu Ming'er noticed the pattern on the incense in his hand, which was actually a picture of giving away children.

Xu Ming'er couldn't help but make fun of him: "I'm so suitable to beg for a child at such a young age?"

Only then did Xu Erjue notice the white and fat dolls on the pattern, and he couldn't help but blush and said, "I, I, I just didn't notice it, so I chose one casually. My wife didn't marry anything. I came to have a safe ball." As he said, Xu Erjue inserted the lit incense into the square tripod, then put his hands together and bowed towards the direction of the hall, "My lady, I don't want to blame me, I just want to have a safety in my family, I don't blame me, I don't blame me, I don't blame me." Xu Erjue kept beating while bowing.

Gurgle.

After Xu Erjue finished worshiping, he still didn't see Xu Ming'er making any noise. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister, why don't you burn incense? What about the incense candle?"

When Xu Erjue mentioned the incense and candle, Xu Ming'er's pretty face turned slightly red and she said a little twisted: "I'll go to the store to burn it."

Xu Er felt that Xu Ming'er had a strange expression, so he couldn't help but look around her and said, "Is there something invisible to me that I'm afraid of seeing her sister's incense and candle?"

Xu Ming'er pretended to be angry and said, "What nonsense is it? What's so shameful in this temple? Bah, I'm not afraid of the Empress blaming it."

Seeing Xu Minger's blushing face again, Xu Erjue suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, my sister can't be a marriage that I want."

When he heard Xu Erjue shouting loudly, he hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth and said, "What is this guy talking about?"

Xu Erjue flashed away from Xu Ming'er's hand, but lowered his tone and said, "Sister, don't hide it. You know that way. The Empress doesn't have to listen to her heart. You know what she is thinking when she looks at her expression. It's a pity that my sister laughs at me, but my sister should ask for marriage and the Moon Master. How come she asks to come to the Temple of the Empress?"

Xu Ming'er said to Xu Erjue: "Don't guess, I'll go in and burn incense first. Wait for me outside, and don't follow me."

Xu Erjue was obedient and did not follow in. He just wandered around outside and waited for Xu Minger to come out.

Xu Erjue had already left the temple gate and walked around the square for a while, but Xu Ming'er had not yet come out, so he went into the hall to look for Xu Ming'er.

As soon as he entered the hall gate, he saw Xu Minger getting up and walking outside. Xu Erjue smiled and greeted him, "Sister, I don't know which young master is so lucky that he has so many words to tell the queen."

Xu Ming'er warned after hearing his younger brother's words: "You Jue, don't tell your father and grandpa when you go home, otherwise you won't fight."

"I know, and when I know, they will protect me, because I have been beaten a lot." Xu Erjue pouted, and after complaining, Xu Erjue immediately said excitedly: "Sister, I went around outside while praying for blessings. Someone was writing something in the square. Let's go and take a look. If you heard that if you wrote well, you can go to the Shilan to watch the performance. With my sister's literary talent, you can definitely help us get two positions."

Xu Minger asked in confusion: "What do you want to write?"

Xu Erjue also said ambiguously: "It seems that they are not going to come today when they are seriously ill. No one will write a lantern in the stone railing. So I specially invited people from the school to help me. In short, I just wrote some riddle poems and couplets. Anyway, these are not difficult. But they said that the temple fair was crowded when there were many people, and those literati were unwilling to come, so no one helped them write one. The person who hung the lamp was almost dying."

Xu Minger asked, "What is the purpose of writing those? Is it so anxious?"

Xu Erjue walked out and explained to Xu Minger: "It's the stone railing at the end of the square when we came. I heard that there will be many lanterns hanging at night to make people guess riddles, pairs and poems. If you finish it, you can go there to watch the performance of the big theater opposite to watch the gods."

Xu Minger said in confusion: "Why do people who come here have to guess riddles and go there to watch the performance? I saw that there are many empty teahouses in that big theater? Wouldn't you see it more clearly?"

Xu Erjue rolled his eyes and looked at the sister beside him who didn't know the suffering of the world and said, "Sister, the teahouses in the big theater were sold out a few days ago. Now many people can't buy them with a lot of silver notes. There is such a good place to watch. Who would be willing to go to Temple Street to watch? Does Sister want to go to Temple Street to squeeze in with people?"

Xu Ming'er heard

I was about to go to the street to squeeze with people, so I couldn't help but tremble, and then urged Xu Erjue and said, "Then let's go quickly, so that people will rob such a good job first."

When Xu Minger and his brother left the temple gate and returned to the square, they saw that the lanterns beside the stone railings had already hung one by one, but there was no trace on the lantern that Xu Erjue said.

Next to the eaves surrounded by lanterns, a young man set up a table with many palm-sized notes placed neatly on them, and next to the notes was a pen, ink, ink, and inkstone paper-weight holder.

There were already many people around the table, but seeing the young man behind the table scratching his head in a hurry, none of the onlookers stepped forward.

At this moment, everyone heard someone shouting behind them, "Get out of the way, someone has come to write."

Everyone turned around and saw that the young man was talking, and there was a little girl next to him. They thought it was the young man who was playing with it, and they had no intention of getting out of the way. Only the young man behind the table seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and said to the onlookers: "Let them all beg, let the two young ladies come in."

After hearing the young man's words, everyone made a way out. Xu Erjue walked to the table first.

The young man asked, "Is it the young master who wants to ask questions?"

Xu Erjue replied: "No."

The people around him suddenly heard a kind voice. As they thought, such a young child could understand what kind of poems could be written by him.

The people around here are all ordinary people nearby. It is not a problem to ask them to wield their hoes to make some crops, but writing with a pen holder is not enough.

But the young man didn't think that these two young ladies were here to make fun of it. When they saw that they were dressed like young ladies from a scholarly family, they were enough to read and read at this age.

So the young man asked again, "That's this lady?"

Xu Erjue said proudly: "It's my sister." It seems that he is the one who is about to show off.

The young man asked, "I wonder if the two young ladies are the noble surnames?"

Xu Ming'er said: "Don't let your surname be Xu."

"Then I'll trouble Miss Xu, please!" The young man gave up his seat and said to Xu Ming'er.

At this time, Xu Erjue said and confirmed: "Wait, let me ask first, can my sister go there to watch the performance after we finish writing?"

The young man smiled and said, "This is natural. Otherwise, with the riddle first couplet written by Miss Xu himself, even if we don't invite them in, Miss Xu's couplets and guesses his riddle easily?"

Xu Erjue thought about it and it was right, but this also wasted two riddles.

Xu Ming'er took out a red note and pressed it under the paperweight. While writing, she asked the young man: "I wonder how many questions the young master needs to write?"

The young man said embarrassedly: "There are a hundred lanterns here that need to be hung, which means a hundred topics are needed."

Xu Erjue said in surprise when he heard this, "One hundred? So many?" He suddenly felt like he had dug a hole for his sister.

The young man also felt that it was a bit too much for a little girl to write a hundred topics, so he said, "Anyway, there are not so many people who can guess it, otherwise I'd better write fifty."

Xu Erjue said: "Although there are indeed a few more than one hundred, with my sister's ability, just a cup of tea, you don't have to cut it in half."
