Prime Minister

Chapter 200
The waists and limbs of those dancing Bao Laos were so twisted that they made everyone laugh.

The children clapped their hands and said with a smile: "Playing with Mr. Bao."

"Stupid Old Bao."

"Ugly old Bao."

Many children and adults twisted their waists with Mr. Bao, laughing and laughing with plain faces.

When the commotion started, Zhang Yue saw Shi Qi Niang standing in front of him in her daughter's dress for the first time.

But...but, Zhang Yuexin said that you invited me here, why did you ask me to come here?
Isn't this kidding me?
How did Zhang Jun meet here by chance? How can I answer?

Zhang Yue also pretended to meet each other and said: "I was going to Xuandemen to look at the lights, but I didn't expect to meet a lady here. Please forgive me for being abrupt."

"Oh, Zhang Jun came here by coincidence." Seventeen Niang's eyes darkened, and her smile disappeared.

"No!"

Zhang Yue hurriedly denied it, although he usually pretended to be noble in front of the girl, but... he was still very worried that the girl would be angry.

Zhang Yueqing took a step closer, took a bold look at Seventeen Niang's charming face and said, "Let me tell a joke!"

Seventeen Niang nodded.

Zhang Yue racked his brains, tried his best to make a joke and said: "In ancient times, a scholar fell in love with a girl. One day he finally got up the courage to ask that girl, girl, do you like me?"

"The girl said she didn't like it."

"The scholar was heartbroken and turned around to leave."

"At this time, the girl stopped the scholar and asked, 'Why did you just leave and didn't ask me if I would like to marry you?'"

"The scholar was overjoyed and asked: 'Then will you marry me?'"

"Don't marry."

Seventeen Niang smiled coyly, and couldn't help covering her mouth with her sleeves.

Zhang Yue looked at Shi Qiniang's smooth smile, and couldn't help but think of the past when he was on a blind date, he often found jokes on the Internet, and then tried to tell jokes with the girl every time they met.

But Nai He is always dismissed by his sisters as saying that his jokes are not funny or that his EQ is low.

Sometimes it's not that your jokes aren't funny, it's that she doesn't want to laugh.Sometimes your jokes aren't that funny, but the other person wants to laugh.

Sometimes you search and search, you try your best to chase after a thousand times, but you can't win the girl's heart no matter what.But sometimes you don't look for it, there is someone waiting for you within your reach.

Some girls don't need to work hard to chase because she is willing for you to chase.

boom!
The dazzling fireworks rose and bloomed at the Xuande Gate. Seventeen Niang took the opportunity to look away from the fireworks.

Another firework rose, illuminating Shi Qi Niang's beautiful face.

"Let's go to Xuandemen for a stroll!"

"Okay! But I need to come back here before Haishi."

Zhang Yue glanced at Mingyue who was gradually moving west and said in his heart, he must hurry up.

Immediately Zhang Yue and Shi Qi Niang walked side by side to Xuan Demen, and two maidservants followed behind her.

Zhang Yue thought that this was the Song Dynasty, although it was a peaceful and prosperous world, it was not a peaceful world.

According to the notes of the people of the Song Dynasty, during the Lantern Festival, a woman from the clan wanted to watch the lanterns, and her in-laws sent a sedan chair to pick her up. At that time, the two sides knew that they had been taken away.It was not until many years later that the clan woman was found.

Zhang Yuezi also protects his sister, but with a maid by his side, it seems that he can't hold hands anymore, and he feels a little regretful in his heart.

At this moment, gold and green are shining on the Dengshan Mountain, and the beautiful brocades are shining together. The side of the Dengshan Mountain facing the north facing Xuandemen is all decorated with colorful knots, all of which are paintings of fairy tales.

The two walked slowly, seeing the dazzling lanterns and the sound of music, under the lights, the golden strands of Seventeen Niang's hair were swaying and shining, adding a bit of extravagance.If it weren't for the buzzing voices around him, Zhang Yue couldn't believe that he was in the Song Dynasty at the moment, and he was walking with his beautiful woman in Bianjing to watch the lanterns.

"Mr. Zhang, look!"

Zhang Yue saw Caishan on the left and right, Manjusri and Puxian crossed a lion and a white elephant.Each commanded five waterlines.

It turns out that a craftsman used a potter's wheel to win water and send it to the highest point of Dengshan.Then use wooden cabinets to store water.After that, I put it down from time to time, so it became a lamp in the water in front of me, and a waterfall with water in the lamp.

Some people on the left and right tied the handles of grass into the shape of a dragon, covered the cage with a green curtain, and placed tens of thousands of lamps and candles on the grass, looking at them meandering like two dragons faintly flying away in the green curtain.

Seventeen Niang was full of joy when she watched the lantern, jumping like a little girl.Zhang Yue is also very happy, I am also looking at the girl, no, I am looking at the lamp.

"Let's go there again." Seventeen Niang smiled and pulled Zhang Yue's sleeve.

"it is good."

Zhang Yue guessed from the bottom of his heart, the meaning of this action, does the girl like me?

Zhang Yue and Shi Qi Niang walked to the corridor of Yujie, but saw all kinds of thaumaturgy here.Songs and dances.Scale tangent.The sound of music resounded for more than ten miles.

There are hitting balls and kicking cuju, stepping on ropes and poles, eating cold water upside down, making iron swords, spitting out five-color water, spinning mud balls, smelting and refining prescriptions, drums and flutes, and monkeys performing a hundred plays and fish jumping. Daomen, commanding bees and butterflies, chasing and calling ants.

The rest are selling medicine, selling hexagrams, sand books and earth mysteries, and so on.Daily new eyes and ears.

Guessing lantern riddles is indispensable during this period.

When the two came to a stall, they saw someone cutting out poems with silk lamps, sometimes expressing ridicule, and drawing characters, hiding their heads and sayings in Beijing.

Seventeen Niang picked up the silk lantern and read: "A family of eleven, isn't that an auspicious word?"

"Nong Zhang's joy, this is not a nephew."

"Don't be alarmed by falling flowers all over the ground, character? Xie An!"

Seventeen Niang answered three lantern riddles, then turned around and smiled at Zhang Yue: "I'll make a lantern riddle for you to test. When you draw a circle, write a square; winter is short, summer is long."

Zhang Yue didn't answer for a moment, Shi Qi Niang asked with a smile: "Could it be you?"

Zhang Yue said: "I'm not troubled, I'm just wondering where I've seen this crossword puzzle before. Got it!"

Immediately Zhang Yue went to pick out one of the many silk lanterns, and said with a smile, "Look at the riddle 'there is a fish in the East China Sea, which has neither head nor tail, except for the backbone', do you have the answer to this riddle?"

Seventeen Niang took a deep look at Zhang Yue and nodded.

The maidservant smiled and said, "Didn't these two lantern riddles both say the word '日'? Your lord is really amazing."

The stall owner said with a smile: "This gentleman and lady are really good. They not only match the crossword puzzles, but also solve the crossword puzzles. I have a few crossword puzzles here. If you match them, I will give you this sheep horn lamp."

Although Zhang Yue's ram horn lantern is not a real ram horn palace lantern, it is also very delicately made.From this valuable gift, it can be seen that the following lantern riddles should be difficult.

"Alright."

Zhang Yue and Shi Qi Niang looked at each other and smiled.

The stall owner laughed secretly when he saw that someone dared to challenge his lantern riddles, he was overwhelmed.

But the stall owner said on the face: "Listen, Mrs. Lang, there are four brothers and two elders, and three of them sit on the ground. There are one or two more people in the family. Even if it is a bad year, you will have to live."

Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "This is the word Jian."

The stall owner smiled and called out: "Mr. Lang is amazing. The following is 'Chang Suicuo, a high-ranking official, full of elegance. Sometimes with red makeup, he loves to face the wind and the moon.' Hit one thing."

Zhang Yue thought for a while, and Seventeen Niang said: "This is a seal."

"Young lady is really good at learning, let me ask again, 'Left seven, right seven, Hengshan pours out'."

Seventeen Niang took a look at Zhang Yue, but seeing that he asked her to answer, she whispered: "Left seven and right seven are female characters, and the answer to this riddle is female characters."

The stall owner smiled slightly and said: "'The four mouths are all square, and the cross is in the center. It is not allowed to be a field word road, and it is not allowed to be a device merchant.' What kind of character?"

"It's a pictograph."

The stall owner said with a smile: "What a wonderful lady, there is one more difficult thing. If you guess this lamp, I will give it to you."

The stall owner paused and said: "This is not an anagram, nor is it a riddle of things, listen carefully."

"When it's cold, it piles up, and when it's hot, it disperses. Four brothers go to the county, and three go to the state. In the village, they are only in the village, and in the city, they are only in the city."

Zhang Yue thought that this riddle is not easy to guess.

Seventeen Niang thought for a moment and said: "Yes, the answer to this riddle is 'one point in the word'."

"Why?" The stall owner was a little surprised.

Seventeen Niangs said: "Cold is piled up, there are two dots in the word cold, and the heat is scattered, it is four dots in the word hot, four people go to the county, it is four dots in the county, there is a dot in the word village, that is, in the village, the city. A dot on the prefix means it is in the market, so it is said 'a dot in the character'."

The stall owner couldn't help being overwhelmed by it and said with a smile: "What a clever lady, I'll give you all these rare lantern riddles. I admire you. I'm giving you this ram horn lantern, Mr. Tsk tsk."

The stall owner's tsk-tsk sound was meant to Zhang Yue, you little man really...

Zhang Yue didn't know what the stall owner meant. Looking at Shi Qi Niang, he suddenly felt a little unreal at the moment.

Seventeen Niang got the horn lamp in her hand, her face was full of joy.After looking at it for a while, she handed the horn lamp to Zhang Yue, and said a little domineeringly: "I've given it to you, don't be polite to me!"

Zhang Yue's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he couldn't laugh or cry. The two maidservants also wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh.

Zhang Yue had no choice but to take the lamp with both hands.

The two walked around for a while, and Zhang Yue saw someone spinning around.

The so-called swirling Luo means that the bamboo frame stands on top of the green umbrella, and the small lanterns decorated with plum red wisps of gold are set up at the front and back of the frame, and then the seller will beat the drum nine times to respond to the auction.Turn around.

What is this swirling Luo selling for?

coke.

Not only children love to eat this food, but it is also the favorite of the people in the Song Dynasty during the Shangyuan Festival.When people pass by, they will buy one and eat while shopping.

Zhang Yue said to Shi Qi Niang: "I buy coke to eat?"

Shi Qi Niang hesitated for a while, and said, "I have never eaten on the street."

Zhang Yue said heartily, women in this era are so pitiful that they can't even eat on the street.I like the skewers most at roadside stalls.

Zhang Yue looked around and said: "What are you afraid of, anyway, no acquaintances have seen it."

Seventeen Niang laughed when she heard the words, and then nodded.

Zhang Yue, holding a horn lamp in his hand, came to the person in Xuanluo and bought several cokes.

The so-called coke is actually sugar oil fruit, more precisely, it is 'fried glutinous rice balls'.

Usually with stuffing inside.

The maidservants behind Seventeen Niang were also anxious, and the two maidservants smiled and knelt down and said, "Thank you, sir."

Seventeen Niang ate one, wrapped the rest with a handkerchief, ordered the maid to take it, and handed the handkerchief to Zhang Yue to wipe off the grease from her mouth.

He also ordered the maidservant to take out the bamboo tube to clean the hands of the two.

Zhang Yue sighed deeply that the girl's heart is really delicate.

Seventeen Niang looked up at the sky, but saw the bright moon gradually sinking to the west.

But the Royal Street is still bustling. At this time, the scene is that Wuling is young, singing songs all over the road, thousands of households, and the reeds are not yet full.Elegant meeting is quiet and joyous, but it is a pity that the shade is a pity.

At the moment, the Bianjing Lantern Festival Poetry Club is going on.
