Allure of a Country Maiden

Xiaoer and Shangguan Xuanyi walked behind, watching the four brothers and sisters in front happily.

"Why do I feel like we are like a couple watching their children play?"

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the four people in front of him and frowned: "Too few."

"What?" Xiaoer didn't understand Shangguan Xuanyi's words for the first time and looked at him doubtfully.

"One daughter is too few. Let's have more daughters in the future. Three sons are enough!" Shangguan Xuanyi said with a serious face.

It would be best if all the sons look like Xiaoer.

Depend on!

Xiaoer's face instantly turned red! Some are angry and some are ashamed!

How many daughters and three sons? Wouldn't she become Diao Chan racing a sow!

"I don't have the ability! I want you to give birth to me." Xiaoer felt terrible just thinking about the painting.

"If possible." If he could give birth, he would be willing to give birth, as long as it was his and hers' child, but he didn't have the ability!

Xiaoer: "..."

etc!

How old is she now? Isn’t it too early to discuss having children now?

Not even married! The days are still long!

This topic cannot be continued!

"Brother Shangguan, let's go guess lantern riddles. I want to win the most beautiful palace lantern." Xiaoer decisively changed the subject.

"Okay!" So Shangguan Xuanhao carefully protected Xiao'er and prevented others from touching a corner of her clothes, while he was distracted by the beautiful lanterns on both sides.

"Is the Lantern Festival in the imperial capital always so lively?"

"Yeah. Isn't Shengping County busy?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I come out to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival." Xiaoer said casually.

"I am honored to accompany you to watch the lanterns for the first time."

Shangguan Xuanyi thought of what happened to her when she was a child, and just what she found out through the investigation was enough to make him heartbroken.

It would be better if he went to Shengping County earlier, so that he could get to know her earlier and save her from suffering.

But from now on, those people will never dare to bully her in the name of family affection.

The two of them followed Jingrui and the others and unknowingly arrived in front of the rare treasure building.

Perhaps because of the wealth of gold, the lanterns here are much more beautiful than those in other shops.

Of course there are a lot of people.

Several people walked in.

Xiaoer discovered that one of the palace lanterns was actually made of gold with a pattern of flying butterflies as a skeleton and inlaid with five-color glaze. The wings of the five butterflies are also inlaid with five-color gems.

The candlelight flickered inside, and the whole palace lantern looked radiant, graceful and luxurious.

Five-color ribbons hang under the lanterns, with the first couplets of five pairs of couplets embroidered on them.

Many people are racking their brains to think about the second line of these couplets.

"The pair of smoke, pond, and willow are so difficult to match. The radicals of these five characters use the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the artistic conception is far-reaching."

Smoke lock pond willow? very familiar! Xiaoer took a look at the words on the five ribbons, and it turned out that they were all famous pairs from the past life.

This is really God helping me!

God helped me cheat, and I would be really sorry to God if I didn't come out.

"Brother Shangguan, I will win this palace lantern and give it to you." When the time comes, the candles inside will be replaced by luminous pearls. It will be perfect!

Many scholars nearby didn't say a word to each other for a long time, and they couldn't help but say harsh words after hearing Xiaoer's words.

"Shameless talk!"

"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"

"arrogant!"

"Ignorant woman!"

…

Jing Hao was dissatisfied after hearing these words, "A dog's eyes look down on people, and its mouth cannot spit out ivory!"

"Why are you swearing!" A scholar stood up and pointed at Jing Hao and asked.

"How could I!" Jing Hao looked so innocent.

"Just now you ordered us to be scolded for looking down on others, and our mouths can't spit out ivory!" The scholar's face was full of anger.

"I clearly scolded him as a dog! How could you think that I scolded him as a human being?" Jing Hao looked him up and down, and it turned out that he looked like a human being.

"You..." The scholar's face turned red and he didn't know how to continue.

"If it's not a dog, don't bark. Don't disturb my sister's couplet."

Now those scholars didn't dare to speak out anymore, no one wanted to think that they were dogs.

"Sir Shangguan, Miss Xiao'er, are you here to guess lantern riddles too?" Li Yuning's voice sounded from behind.

Xiaoer frowned subconsciously, why did she always meet this person wherever she went.

Xiaoer turned around and said with a smile: "Miss Li, what a coincidence!"

"The rare treasure lanterns are the most beautiful in the imperial capital every year. I come here every year to guess my favorite lantern and go back." Li Yunning smiled gently, implying that she was not following them.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at her differently. It turned out that this girl was also a talented woman. She could guess the lantern riddle of the rare and best lamp every year.

Although the riddles of the Oiran's Lantern in previous years were difficult, it was not like this year. This year's riddles were couplets, and there were five pairs, which was really difficult.

I wonder if this Miss Li will come out? A few more pairs can be found.

Xiao'er nodded to Li Yuning, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Does the shopkeeper tell you the second couplet of the five couplets above, that this palace lantern belongs to me?"

"Yes, girl."

"Okay, shopkeeper, please listen!"

Li Yuning was shocked. He was going to reveal it so quickly? !

"The first couplet: Smoke locks the willows in the pond, the second couplet: Peach trees burn on the Jinjiang River embankment." Xiaoer held her chin in her hand and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Smoke locks willows in the pond, and peach trees burn on the Jinjiang River embankment. Wonderful! It's so wonderful!" An old man praised, stroking his white beard.

Then Xiaoer paired the following four couplets without pausing.

"The first couplet: Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window; the second couplet: The rotten stalks of the sycamore tree live in vain."

"First couplet: If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing; water, water, water, rivers and lakes.

Second line: Under the wood is the foundation, above the wood is the end, the wood is wood, there are many pines, cypresses and camphors. "

"The first couplet: The cicada forest becomes quieter; the second couplet: The mountain becomes more peaceful with the singing of birds."

"The first couplet: the phoenix falls on the phoenix tree and the phoenix falls on the phoenix tree; the second couplet: the pearls join the jade and the jade joins the pearl."

Audience: Silence! It’s as quiet as the sound of a needle dropping!

The shopkeeper of rare treasures was dumbfounded!

This palace lantern is very expensive, and the owner spent a lot of money to make it. The master planned to use it as the leader of the lanterns for the Lantern Festival every year. He only came out with five couplets to deliberately make things difficult for ten years or eight years!

This idea came from him. He thought that no matter how knowledgeable a person is, he only has time today and there is no way he can match these five couplets!

Who will tell him where this girl came from? How come it was all right in less than a quarter of an hour? !

Some of the scholars here couldn't get it right even after a whole day.

The best one only has two matches, and he can't match them as well as this girl!

"Shopkeeper, why don't you take down the palace lantern?" Jing Hao urged excitedly.

Everyone is waking up from a dream!

"Really come out!?"

Jing Hao: "Really!"

"How can this be?!"

Jing Hao: "Why is it impossible?"

"Where did this girl come from? How old is she? How can she match all these couplets?"

Xiaoer: I come from the future, carrying thousands of years of human civilization and wisdom, and stepping on the shoulders of giants.

Please explain, the couplet comes from the Internet, I really don’t have this literary quality.
