 "Just a few kids."

"Miss..." Zi Ling pouted.

Lou Qingyi looked towards the south bank of the river, which was a piece of farmland. It was pitch black at night. The light in the water was somewhat like "Jiang Maple Fishing Fire".

After walking like this for a while, the two of them returned to the carriage.

The place where the poetry meeting was held was called Xuezizhou. It was close to the river, with a small tributary running across it. There was a large lake in the state, with sparkling water, swaying boats in the lake, and green trees on the top of the pavilion.

.

Here, the fragrance of tea is accompanied by the fragrance of books, and you can enjoy the lake view and have endless fun.

The sound of silk and bamboo spread from the front. Lou Qingyi lifted the curtains and slightly poked his head out, and he could see Ying Tower, the tallest building in Xuezi Prefecture.

Viewed from a distance, this loft located on the water is outlined with a simple and elegant temperament by the lights. The shadows are reflected on the lake, reflecting the lights, making it dazzling.

On the lake, boats with lanterns hung on them were swaying gently in the wind. Under the lights, the intellectuals and women were chatting and laughing, which was quite meaningful.

Outside the door is a bamboo forest, green and attractive, with bamboo leaves swaying in the breeze, making a pleasant rustling sound. When the carriage approached the door, someone came up to inquire. Ziling handed over the invitation and waved to let them go.<

/p>

The carriage slowly drove in, and Lou Qingyi didn't know it was the first time, but it gave her a different feeling every time, and this time the feeling was particularly strong.

However, we can see that the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are scattered in an orderly manner, and the long corridors, waterside pavilions and winding paths lead to secluded areas. Especially those pavilions, terraces and pavilions, all have flying eaves and corners. The word "fly" shows the flexibility of "eaves".

Under the light of the lights, the four corners are stretched out, like a bird spreading its wings, and the upward movement gives the dull building a light and lively charm.

After entering the garden, I realized that the excitement I saw outside was just scratching the surface. On the protruding stage in the middle of the water pavilion, there were singers and dancers praising each other. After the song, there was a wave of applause.

Then the talented people commented on the song and dance performance just now, and some even wrote poems while shaking their heads.

The long waterside pavilion is covered with all kinds of lanterns, and talented people and beauties are guessing riddles under the lights.

The riddle is also called "Shooting the Tiger", which is very interesting and very impressive.

Lantern riddles are known as "Wenhu". The answer to the riddle is like a crouching tiger in the grass. It is difficult to detect and shoot, so the riddle is called "shooting the tiger".

If you think about it carefully, guessing riddles is like shooting an arrow. If you hit the target with one arrow, you will feel as happy as if you hit a tiger.

There are groups discussing together, or concentrating on thinking. When someone guesses a certain answer to a riddle, people will immediately give praise and comments.

In this atmosphere, Lou Qingyi got off the carriage with the help of Zi Ling, and the master and servant went straight to the waterside pavilion.

After all, Zi Ling was just a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. When she saw how lively the garden was, she had already put aside her unhappiness and emotions just now and jumped up like a little bird.

She and Xiao Yu'er both followed the young lady when they were five or six years old. Although they are master and servant, they still have a sisterly relationship, so they are not so restrictive.

"Miss, look, the word puzzle is, 'two shapes and one body, four branches and eight heads, four eight two eight, flying spring flowing upward'..." The novel and excited expression on Zi Ling's upturned face gradually disappeared.

"Type a word?" Lou Qingyi also frowned.

"Miss Lou?" There was surprise in her voice.

While Lou Qingyi was concentrating on thinking, she heard someone talking to her behind her. She turned her head and smiled at the man: "Master He, I must have arrived a long time ago."

The visitor's surname was He, whose given name was Baichuan and whose courtesy name was Ziyuan. He was the great-grandson of He Ge, the governor of Nanjun during the reign of Emperor Wu. He was also considered a leader among young talents in Jiangling.

He Baichuan smiled and said: "If you want to say that this is the most talented woman in Jiangling, Miss Lou is well-deserved. I believe you have guessed the answer to the riddle, please feel free to teach me."

He Baichuan just returned from traveling today. He had met Lou Qingyi several times on such occasions before, but Lou Qingyi had a calm temperament and there were not many opportunities to talk to her.

Just now he was about to ferry to the painting boat in the lake, but he never expected to see Lou Qingyi here, so he took the initiative to come over to chat. It was because he was so impressed with Lou Qingyi that even though she was wearing a black gauze mask, He Baichuan still recognized her.

The last time I saw her was two months ago. I was quite happy to see her again, but I always felt that Lou Qingyi seemed different from the past.

However, this thought was fleeting.

Seeing Lou Qingyi looking at the words on the lantern riddle seemed to be in a trance, as if he was thinking about it. He had just seen the riddle, and wanted to show off, but he had no clue.

However, this did not make him feel much embarrassed.

In his opinion, since he couldn't guess the lantern riddle, Lou Qingyi might not be able to solve it in a short time.

Zi Ling stood beside Lou Qingyi. To be fair, the Mr. He in front of her was more suitable than Mr. Chen and the young lady at home.

Zi Ling usually follows Zi Ling when he goes out. He has had several contacts with Mr. He. He has sparkling eyes, a jade tree facing the wind, and eloquent words. He talks about mysteries and Taoism, and is extremely romantic. He talks about the great cause of king and domination, and he talks about it vividly.

The images of Confucianism and Confucianism are integrated into him, which is not ordinary brilliance.

Moreover, poems and books have been passed down from generation to generation, and officials have been passed down through the ages.

Where is that uncle at home?

Thinking of Chen Chang, Zi Ling frowned and tutted... Zhuyu is in front...

Just don’t mention it!

I glanced at the young lady secretly and saw that she was still deep in thought, while Mr. He was looking at the young lady lovingly, feeling a little crazy.

He thought to himself: This man is different from Dan Teng, who is just a sensual person. He also admires the young lady very much. There is no blasphemy in his eyes.

This is a great team!

It was okay for her not to look at it, but when she looked at it, she felt that her heart was clogged and she felt so stuffy that she couldn't let it out.

When Zi Ling was feeling depressed, Lou Qingyi still looked away from the mysterious face.

He Baichuan smiled and said to Lou Qingyi: "Miss Lou, do you already have the answer in your heart?"

Lou Qingyi smiled faintly: "This little girl is not talented, but she has come up with an answer. Is it right?"

He Baichuan was shocked, but he still said calmly: "Miss Lou is too modest, please give me some advice."

Lou Qingyi nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Fetching water upwards, so it is called Yangliu. One-eight is the tic character with eight corners; five-eight is divided into four tetragrams, then the character is ten or four."

Yes, forty means fifty-eight."

He Baichuan carefully thought about it, and found that the first three sentences of this riddle were clutches, and the last sentence was understanding, lifelike and unique.

Lou Qingyi didn't speak quickly, her voice was clear and mellow. In this dimly lit and poetic environment, it sounded like a kind of enjoyment, even a sense of confusion.
