Chapter 146: The Hand of the Son(1/2)

"Xiaoxiao... Su Tang is a little tired, so I go back to Jing Pavilion first." Shi Qiyu was here to resolve the misunderstanding, not to show off how close she and Su Tang were, so Xiaoxiao blurted out was changed to Su Tang's name.

Xu You had just been immersed in the frustration of time and space, and did not notice the subtle psychological changes between everyone, nor did he know that in the eyes of others, he had become a pitiful person trapped by love and lost. He frowned and said, "I haven't seen you follow the servants around you, is she going back alone?"

"Yes, I wanted to send her off, but I was rejected."

Shi Qiyu thought that saying this would make Xu You happier, but Xu You didn't care. Instead, he was worried about Su Tang's safety. He asked her where she left and turned to look at Wu Shan. Wu Shan understood it, bent down slightly, and disappeared into the crowded market with the hilt in his hand.

Shi Qiyu looked surprised and said, "Xu Langjun's troops are extremely powerful. Could it be that they were the former Xu family's former subordinate?"

After more than half a year of training from Zuo Qi, from Wu Shancang, these soldiers who received from Zhan Hong finally looked a little elite. Although they were still quite far from the arrogant soldiers of the family clans, they could at least deal with most conflicts in small places like Qiantang.

Xu You said seriously: "My husband is careful! Since I moved to Qiantang, I have studied in a closed door and been obedient. How dare I contact my old subordinates privately? If these words were heard by Sili Mansion, did Mr. husband think about where I would put me?"

Shi Qiyu knew that he had made a mistake, so he took three steps back, bowed solemnly, and said, "Don't blame me, I'm quick-talking for a moment, but I have no other intentions!"

Xu You and Meng Xingchun from Sili Mansion are now in the honeymoon period, so he is not afraid that Shi Qiyu has ulterior motives. However, in a suspicious place, he will never make mistakes with caution. He smiled and said, "Even if I am unwilling to let go, wouldn't I seem to be narrow-minded? In order to pretend to be big and can tolerate it, I have to say nothing!"

Shi Qiyu smiled and said, "Su Tang always said that Xu Langjun is good at joking. Today I realized that there are such interesting people in the world besides Yu Fahu."

Now that he heard the name of Yu Fahu, the white horse in the valley, Xu You was calm and said politely: "I wonder what the teacher and husband are coming to me for?"

Shi Qiyu pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it is not appropriate for me to say it, but the misunderstanding tonight has arisen because of me, which makes the two lovers have a rift. I can't stay out of it."

Xu You said in confusion: "A lover? Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

The more he did this, the more others thought it was covering it up. Shi Qiyu was not easy to say it out loud, and tried to say tactfully: "Su Tang and I were just a first meeting, and we were friends we had known each other. Her ideas and insights were very different from those of the girls today. Although they were a little bold, they made people feel impressed from the bottom of their hearts. I didn't know in advance that she and you had feelings for each other, so I took the liberty to invite each other and traveled to the Lantern Market together, but there was nothing wrong with it. Don't be suspicious!"

She naturally heard the rumors about Xu You and Su Tang, but the rumors were rumors after all, and she knew they were far-fetched editors. But what she saw tonight turned out to be a bit ambiguous and not so innocent.

Xu You suddenly realized, looked at He Ru and the others' expressions again, and immediately knew what the so-called misunderstanding was. He suddenly laughed and said, "This..."

When he said that, he suddenly realized that this matter was not explained clearly... Could it be that they were thinking about the high-latitude thinking consciousness such as the origin of life and death of the universe and human beings? Even if he argued that he had no affection for Su Tang, no one really believed it at this moment.

The only thing that was that he was so touched by the name Su Xiaoxiao that he was speechless until his current situation. He hesitated and confirmed that others' speculations were even more confirmed. Shi Qiyu was inevitably disappointed and said, "I thought Xu Langjun was an open-minded gentleman and would not bind a girl like Su Tang with those worldly eyes. Now it seems that I was wrong!"

Xu You saw that the more he was getting darker and he didn't care about it, and said, "Although this matter was a coincidence and I couldn't explain it clearly for a while, I can guarantee that I would never have a grudge against her just because of the fact that the husband and Miss Su were traveling together. Although the husband relaxed, there would be no change in what we did before and what we would do in the future."

Shi Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! I knew that those who can write about the faces and peach blossoms of human form are definitely not ruthless people!"

Xu You bowed and said, "If nothing else is going to happen, let's leave here. If your husband is in Qiantang for more time, he can go to Jingyuan to meet him if he has time."

"Why, the husband is in a hurry to go home, but there is something important to do?"

Xu You was stunned and smiled and said, "Not that, I've been shopping in the lantern market almost all the time. There are these gadgets on the left and right, so I'll get tired of seeing too much."

"Maybe it is because the riddles here are too simple that the Langjun can't be interested?" Shi Qiyu chuckled and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell Langjun that the picture of the sunset green sheep was actually painted by me!"

In order to show humility, Xu You once said that this riddle is very simple. As long as you understand the Book of Changes, you can easily hit the answer. Isn’t this scolding the bald donkey for not growing hair in front of the monk? However, his skin has always been thick enough, and there is no embarrassment at all. The surprise revealed in his eyes shows the real skills of the acting school, and at the same time he does not forget to fight back, saying, “But the shopkeeper said that the painter is a girl…”

Shi Qiyu was not seen by Xu You, so Muli's disguise was so good. He was wondering if he would wear one to play with when he went out in the future. He heard Shi Qiyu say calmly: "I asked Qingzhi to send it yesterday. Langjun saw her on the mountain, and he might still have an impression."

"No wonder!" Xu You sighed, "I like the paintings of the Langjun very much. I originally planned to buy them from the shopkeeper. Now that I meet the real Buddha, I don't have to go far. If the Langjun has an old work, I can offer a price. I would like to take it to my family to watch and enjoy it every day." He cried again and said, "Of course, I hope that the Langjun should not offer too high prices for everyone to know. I am so poor that I can't afford it. If it is too expensive, I really can't afford it."

Shi Qiyu suppressed his laughter and said, "It is a rare honor for you to like mediocre works. There is no need to offer a price, just give you a few pictures!"

"That won't be done. I don't know how to cherish things that are too easy to get. Only by paying enough price can the value of Lang Jun's paintings and my sincerity!"

Xu Youyi spoke honestly, Shi Qiyu found it interesting, followed him to play a double act and said, "Okay, I think about it... it's not a penny? Is it expensive?"

Xu You bowed to the ground and said solemnly: "Living Bodhisattva!"

The two of them paused for a few breaths, and then laughed loudly at the same time. Shi Qiyu held the pillar hanging next to him with his hands, almost unable to straighten his waist. He finally stopped laughing, but he looked blankly in the distance. The loneliness radiated on his body could feel it through the thick curtain fence.

Xu You shouted tentatively and said, "Mr. Master? Is it okay?"

Shi Qiyu came to his senses and said, "I remembered some past events and was rude! Speaking of which, this is the second time I have smiled so happily since I arrived in Qiantang. Thank you, Mr.!"

Xu You intentionally diluted the slightly sad atmosphere and joked: "Oh, then I must ask who I met for the first time, who was even more joking than me? It wasn't that Yu Fahu who came to Qiantang in person, right?"

For some reason, the more you come into contact with Xu You, the smile naturally spreads on the corners of your lips. Shi Qiyu said, "That man does not have the reputation of You Ye Yiguang and Konggu Baiju. He is just a father-in-law selling taro on the streets. He has met a wonderful man who would rather spend fifty cents to buy..."

"Buy two tasty tasting, and you still have to say that you are buying knowledge, right?"

Shi Qiyu said in a lost voice: "So it's you!"

Xu You touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "It's me!"

Shi Qiyu stared at Xu You. After a while, he suddenly said, "If Mr. Xu had no urgent matters, can he accompany me to walk around the lantern market? Someone who committed suicide that day, but he had no choice but to let down the beautiful scenery of Longshi Mountain. I don't want to let down the annual Shangyuan Liangye tonight!"

Xu You could see that Shi Qiyu was full of thoughts and was quite melancholy. He didn't think much about it. He just thought of making a friend, and he was courteous and said, "Please!"

Shi Qiyu didn't like too many people to follow him. That time, he only brought two maids on Longshi Mountain and later drove them away. This time he went to the lantern market and did not take any one. Xu You was considerate and left Zuo Ting to deal with emergencies. The others went to play together. In fact, it was good. With him as the master, everyone would be more or less restrained and not enjoy it.

"It's not the cause and condition, but also the beginning... This is the word rhyme!"

The traditional Chinese characters in rhyme are yi, one pronunciation and one member, which are homophonic and comprehension, and are unique.

"The answer to the mystery is the word "destiny", which is divided into one person, and it contains the meaning of praise, which is the best."

"The heroes of the Green Forest were famous, and they shot a sentence in Mencius. I thought about it, and the answer was 'I heard of it in the past'."

"I wrote my own letter to my brother, and I shot the sentence "The Analects of Confucius". Hey, this questioner is not a good person, and he set up many traps to mislead me."

"Mr. Xu Langjun, if I fail to shoot, I can teach you in a difficult situation!" Shi Qiyu had been with Xu You for a long time, and his speaking style had been deviated a lot. He deliberately teased him, wanting to see his defeated look.

Those who are close to red may not necessarily be red, those who are close to ink may definitely be black. This is a true saying!

"Just! Such a simple puzzle is still something you can do? Qi Yu's foot, Qi Yu's hands! The shopkeeper, right?"

The answer is of course correct. Xu You received the gift, which was a blooming jade butterfly plum, with egg whites in pink, gentle and elegant, and extremely beautiful. When you put it on the tip of your nose, you can feel the fragrance that cannot be dissipated by the bitter cold wind in winter.

"It's not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums, and there are no flowers when they bloom. Xu Langjun prefers chrysanthemums, which is known to everyone in the world. But today he holds the plum blossoms and keeps his hair going. Could it be that he has changed his mind when he sees strange thoughts?"

Xu You handed the plum blossom to Shi Qiyu and said, "The plum blossom is better with its rhyme and has a high character. People like me who are struggling with the dust in the mundane world do not deserve it, and I will give it to my husband so that I can not humiliate my aura!"

Shi Qiyu did not react and was stuffed into her hand by Xu You. Although her fingertips were about to fall apart, her heart beat a few times, and even forgot to refuse.

"Let's go, next!" Xu You walked to the next house, looked up, and laughed, "Shi Langjun, come and see, this is interesting, you only draw a door, shooting a poem in the Book of Songs. Ha, this door was probably drawn by a three-year-old child. It is twisted and cute, but it is slightly worse than you."

"Xu Langjun, what you mean is that my paintings can only be compared with those of a three-year-old child, right?" Shi Qiyu was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly calmed down and held the plum blossom tightly in his hand, walked to Xu You, pretending to be angry, and stared at him.

But unfortunately, Muli separated the two people's vision, and Xu You could not see this scene.

"I dare not! I'm still waiting for you to sell my paintings for a penny, how could I cut off my own way?" Xu You bowed seriously and asked Shi Qiyu to come forward to reveal the riddle, saying, "Mr. Shi Lang, it's your turn this time, please!"

"What's the difficulty of this mystery? I'm so broad, I won't live!" Shi Qiyu chanted in his mouth and opened the riddle casually. These two lines of poetry were indeed written on the lamp wall.

Xu You said in a nutshell: "Who has put forward this puzzle has been thoughtful. But compared to 'Ah, I don't live,' I prefer the other two lines of this poem."

"Hold your hand and grow old with me?"

"That's it! All the love in the world is contained in these eight words! I have many words, has the teacher and husband married?"

"without!"

Shi Qiyu only said one word, took the small gift for the answer to the mystery, ignored Xu You, and turned around and walked towards the next family.

Xu You was slightly stunned, smiled and shook his head, and followed him.

The two started from the side of the lantern market and took turns shooting Wenhu, and only selected the questions that others could not hit. They went back and forth, and they all hit. When they shot thirty-seven riddles in a row, they finally attracted the attention and attention of passers-by. Many people followed behind them, just wanting to see how much they could hit.

Therefore, the Shangyuan Lantern Market in the 12th year of Yong'an formed a rare wonder. Xu You and Shi Qiyu were in front and forty or fifty people were in the back. Every time he got a question, he immediately heard a shocking cheer, which was more enthusiastic and boiling than the firecrackers set off around him.

The lamp market was for the excitement, and no one cared about the small gifts given, so each spotlight stall couldn't wait for the two of them to come, adding another firewood to this rare event. Some people even temporarily put up puzzles, posted them on the current lanterns, quietly hung them on the trees and outside the door frames by the roadside, waiting for Xu You and the others to shoot the tiger.

"Fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven! The two men have shot fifty-seven Wenhu. My great Chu has never heard of such a thing since the Lantern Market. It is amazing, extremely powerful!"

Because there were too many people, the people behind could not squeeze in front, so someone kindly called out loudly. The crowd responded, saying, "Do you have any tricky and weird puzzles? It's so easy for people to ejaculate?"

"Who said no, many of them are jokes, but they still can't help others. What can I do?"

"Who is this person who has such talent?"

"I look like Xu You...but there are too many people, so I can't see it in detail!"

"Xu You??You Ye Yi Guang Xu Weizhi?"

"It's him? No wonder, I think only Xu Langjun can shoot fifty-seven Wenhu in a row."

"Don't put gold on Qiantang's face. Xu Weizhi is Yixing. What's the point of having to do with Qiantang?"

"Living in our Qiantang, the household registration is also in Qiantang, so we are naturally from Qiantang. Where are you? How do you speak?"

"I want to hit someone? I am Zhuji, are you afraid of you?"

"Zhuji? Okay, it turns out that it's you guys! The villagers, the Zhuji people, did not let Qiantang Lake rename West Lake, and obstructed them in every way. Today they beat him up and exhale them for Qiantang Lake!"

These disputes about the territory did not affect Xu You and Shi Qiyu. The two of them worked together and won seven puzzles in a row, adding the records to sixty-four, which happened to be thirty-two of each person, without a chance to decide the outcome.

Suddenly, I saw the end of the lantern market. There was only one place left, with only one lamp with a word on it:

corpse!

The corpse of the body is a very happy day, and it is not a bad thing that no one is coming to ejaculate. It is deserted and very different from other families.

However, since we have come here, we have to have a beginning and an end. Xu You has no taboos towards ghosts and gods. He came under the lamp with his hands behind his back and raised his head to ponder.

Corpse - Two sentences of shooting "The Analects of Confucius"!

This question is difficult here. It is not easy to shoot a sentence. You need to find a sentence that solves the puzzle from the saint's words, either four or five words, seven or eight words, or at the beginning, middle and end, most of them have nothing to do with the original context and metaphor. You need to consider homophones, understanding, disassembly, etc., let alone find two sentences to shoot a tiger together. The difficulty is not doubled, but a square growth!

Xu You was hesitant and it was difficult to solve the problem for a while. Shi Qiyu's research on the Analects may not be as thorough as Xu You. After all, Xu You accommodated many masters from later generations to study the Analects of Confucius, but just because of his familiarity with the Analects, Xu You could not compare with Shi Qiyu.

She thought for a moment and had an answer in her mind. If she came forward to shoot the tiger at this time, she would win Xu You's game from thirty-three to thirty-two.
