Chapter 268 Goodbye Old Hanlin
I saw that the riddle hanging under the lantern read: "When the night comes, the sound of wind and rain, how much do you know when the flowers fall."
Wu Youwei laughed at that time.
Although this is a half-quee of a Tang poem, it is also a riddle.
The answer is that it is very suitable for the oiran lady of Qinlou and Chuguan: Lianxiangxiyu.
Combined with the riddles, this lantern riddle is both ambiguous and evocative, and it is really aimed at all romantic talents.
But this is a bit of a brain teaser. Unfortunately, many literati only pay attention to the source of this poem and guess it.
If you can't guess the answer, Qunfang Pavilion will make a lot of money in vain.
Because I can't guess, but I want to buy a lantern for one of the two oiran ladies.
Do you want the one above?" Wu Youwei lowered his head to chat with Wantong, and pointed to the most beautiful lantern by the way.
Think!" Wantong nodded.
He didn't think about it at all, the gorgeous and exquisite lantern didn't match him and Wu Youwei at all.
"Okay, I'll win it for you!" Wu Youwei said excitedly.
Wantong nodded: "Good!"
Wu Youwei stepped forward and pointed to his heart and said: "I guess that lantern!
Young master, this lantern requires money!" Mother Jin hurriedly explained: "If you guess correctly, of course you won't get any money; but
If you don't guess right, you have to pay for it.
"How many times?" Wu Youwei didn't know there was such a rule.
"Eight taels of silver at a time." Mother Jin stretched out her finger: "Eight taels at a time, do you want to try it?
Try it!" Wu Youwei took up a pen and wrote the answer.
After handing it over to the old bustard, I waited.
Mother Jin took a look at the answer and was stunned.
Qunfang Pavilion's riddles are of course high-end, and they are also for the sake of deception.
No one can guess right now, because these scholars think too much.
The answer given was everything, and she was also happy to see the joke. Those people who spent a lot of money must not care much about the lanterns.
Instead, he cares about his reputation, his face, and his talents and learning have encountered challenges.
The more unconvinced people are, the more they spend money to solve this puzzle!
But after a few days, they stopped, because they couldn't solve it, the more they thought about it, the more profound they felt, and there were even a few
Master Xuezheng also came to look at it for a long time, but he didn't want to understand it!
Qunfang Pavilion baffled everyone because of this puzzle. It was the time when they were triumphant, but someone solved it!
"How is it?" Wu Youwei asked her calmly
Mother Jin swallowed hard: "Congratulations, young master, you guessed it right."
Wu Youwei smiled chicly: "Give it to me!"
"Yes." Even though she was unwilling, Mother Jin did not dare to smash the signboard of Qunfang Pavilion, and asked people to go up and tell the lanterns to be taken down.
Everyone was watching and asked Wu Youwei the answer noisily, but Wu Youwei shook his head and said nothing, only smiled.
After taking the lantern, Wu Youwei was happy.
Everyone thought that he would give it to a certain oiran lady, but he changed hands and gave it to Wantong: "I wish Mr. Wan a speedy recovery
Thanks. "Wantong nodded solemnly, then took the lantern... and stuck it in his wheelchair!
It doesn't even need to be carried by someone.
The lanterns were placed closer, and the soft light enveloped Wantong, making Wantong look less fierce than before, and he wanted to "pretend"
The body is not good, the face is pale, and with the lighting effect, it looks even more handsome than before, which is the current popular appearance
And Wu Youwei was standing close to him, and the light was also hitting his face. In a daze, everyone felt that the two of them stood together, and they looked pretty good.
配!
Here, Wu Youwei got the most beautiful lantern as soon as he made a move, which put a lot of pressure on Bai Jing, but Zhang Sheng and the others were full of energy
, solved several lantern riddles, the progress is fast!
Each oiran has one hundred and eight lanterns, as long as all the lantern riddles are solved, that oiran will win.
The lampstand of Qunfang Pavilion is lively and lively, attracting many tourists.
In the end, Wu Youwei went to the battle himself, replaced a certain Juren, and stepped forward to solve it. He also played many lantern riddles in later generations, and some lantern riddles
The riddle uses brain teasers, he can guess the answer as long as he thinks, and of course Wu Youwei and the others won in the end!
When the last lantern was hung up, Wu Youwei cupped his hands to Bai Jing, who was already in a trance: "Mr. Bai, we will wait for you."
I'm waiting for you to take a concubine.
Bai Jing's pale face immediately turned red: "No, we won two out of three rounds! This is the first round!"
Everyone was stunned. This is... when was it agreed? Why didn't they know?
Not only did they not know, but the people who watched the fun didn't know either, so they booed and wanted to follow to see which three rounds it was, and how two wins
You...you...you are talking nonsense!" Zhang Sheng is a gentleman, and immediately blushed excitedly: "How can this be?
Not what a gentleman did!" Several other people were also filled with righteous indignation.
Wantong glanced at Bai Jing coldly.
Bai Jing could only carry it to death, because just now he secretly asked the old bustard, how much is the redemption money for the oiran lady?
Mama Jin, the old bustard, gave him an astronomical figure!
At that time, he wanted to pass out!
He doesn't dare to admit that he lost now, once he is entangled by the people of Qunfang Pavilion, there is no way to get out.
So before his father came back, he could only play tricks.
As long as he thinks of the only pregnant Concubine Bai in the palace, he will have confidence, and now he can only think of this reason to let himself
Some confidence.
He has some people who don't know what's going on here, and Wu Youwei and the others can't just explain it to everyone, right? And they were just
A verbal agreement, not a contract.
And this kind of thing, how can it be written in black and white?
It was because of this that Bai Jing dared to turn black and white like this.
Why don't you write a poem or a poem and give it to our two oiran ladies in Qunfang Pavilion to comment? They think
Whichever is better will win, how? Mother Jin, the old bustard, said: "Our Miss Ruxue and Miss Ruyan are also talents.
girl!
"Who do you think your girl is?" Wantong was unhappy: "How dare you criticize Juren's poems?"
The old bustard, Mother Jin, choked immediately.
She just wanted to expand the reputation of Qunfang Pavilion, and she didn't mean to look down on Juren.
And this kind of thing, relying on jealousy is understandable!
"That's right!" An old man said at this time: "You old bustard, are you still not backing down?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man standing aside with a few young people. Wu Youwei knew those young people, and Li Dong
Yang and Liu Jian and the others.
Everyone didn't know the identity of the old man, but Wu Youwei felt that he looked familiar. When the old man saw Wu Youwei, he smiled happily: "Little friend!"
How are you?
As soon as Wu Youwei heard the title, he remembered it. This was not when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty and was forced to take Wu Ying out to socialize.
Did you see that old Hanlin?
He remembered that Lao Hanlin was introduced to him by Li Dongyang
"Okay, how is the old man?" Wu Youwei still didn't know the name of this old Hanlin, and Li Dongyang never mentioned it.
"This old man is very good." Old Hanlin looked at the candidates around him: "It's just that you are not good!
Everyone bowed their heads as soon as they heard that he was Hanlin, and their faces became even hotter when they were said so.
'It's not easy for you to obtain fame in the exam, why do you gather people here to compare? "Old Hanlin looked at the lampstand in Qunfang Pavilion: "It's still in other places
The old bustard, Mother Jin, whispered: "What's wrong with us here? Qunfang Pavilion is very famous in Beijing.
What's more, their Qunfang Pavilion also has a Hanlin master, but it's just a secret...
"Mister, we have a reason..." Wu Youwei quickly talked about their grievances with Bai Jing.
Bai Jing was looking at the old Hanlin.
The old Hanlin wore a dark red cotton gown made of fine brocade, a large fur cloak with a fox collar, and a fox fur on his head.
hat, gloves, and a pair of standard cotton soap boots,
This kind of dress is very ordinary and low-key, but it makes him unable to confirm the identity of this old Hanlin
But a poor Hanlin, he is not afraid!
Is what she said true? "Old Hanlin asked Bai Jing after listening.
No, we won two out of three games!" Bai Jing refused to change his words.
That's two out of three games. "Wu Youwei knows that he can't tell now, because there are lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there are too many people on the street.
He is a so-called romantic talent who is not afraid of causing trouble, so he doesn't bother with this matter at all.
But this time he asked the old Hanlin to be a witness: "Please ask the old gentleman to judge our poems on your behalf. Whoever writes better will be judged."
Who wins, the betting requirements remain the same.
Bai Jing looked back at the people he had brought, and one of them said unconvinced: "Brother Bai, please, we must not let these people look down on us.
'Brother Bai, we are really not good at this kind of lantern riddles, but we are still good at poetry and songs!
They all said so, and Bai Jing had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
There is an old Hanlin here, so he can't play tricks this time.
At this time, a few people in casual clothes also came over. They looked like the old man, and they were all officials.
Two people, Bo Jing knows each other!
It happened to be the Shuntian Prefecture Confucianism professor and trainer who reprimanded Bai Jing!
It turned out that the two of them came out to enjoy the lanterns, but they saw the old Hanlin and came to say hello. They called the old Hanlin "Mr.
With the arrival of these two, the candidates are ready to move, this is an opportunity to show their face in front of the Shangguan.
Vantone, on the other hand, remained silent.
Because Old Hanlin was standing next to him, he didn't dare to remind Wu Youwei, he could only treat himself as a "seriously injured patient".
As a result, only the Qunfang Pavilion is the busiest among the Qinlou and Chu pavilions on the Dashilan side, so many people can't help
is coming this way.
Mother Jin, the old bustard of Qunfang Pavilion, was overjoyed: "My lords, my lords, today I will risk my life to accompany you, this station
Everyone can use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it!
If she does this, these people will not leave Qunfang Pavilion to find a place alone
It's just that it's rare in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and basically only the literary and poetry societies have this phenomenon.
Everyone has a think tank, but the old Hanlin pointed at Wu Youwei and Bai Jing: "Since the matter started because of the two of you, then you
The two wrote a poem alone, with today's Lantern Festival as the topic, let's write it, and show it to the official after finishing it. "
To write a poem, you need artistic conception. Bai Jing calms down and tries his best to smooth his thoughts so that he can have a better understanding and think of wonderful things.
good poem.
But as I said before, Tang poems, Song lyrics, and Yuan operas have all been written, and there is no shortage of ancient famous sentences.
difficult
But Wu Youwei is different, he immediately thought of a poem, and this poem is actually not well known to many people.
It is a masterpiece of Tang Shunzhi, a man of the Ming Dynasty, "Yuan Xi Ying Eternal Ice Lantern"
I was pitying the spring of the fire tree trunk, and suddenly I saw the clear light reflecting the moon.
Going out to sea, the shark beads still carry water, and the whole room is full of sleeves, and it feels cold.
Candles do not interfere with the shadows in the sky, and the dizziness is suspected to be seen from the moon.
Borrowing the east wind for the time being, I have to enjoy the rest of the night.
This is a poem about the Lantern Festival.
The first two sentences generally describe the scene of watching fireworks and watching the moon shadow on the night of Shangyuan, and the three or four sentences specifically describe what you see when watching the moon.
Pearls, fairy dances.
Five or six sentences describe the scene of watching lanterns in the middle of the moon, and the last two sentences are lyrical.
