Lose the lights and spend another night

"Huanxi, here you are." Yingsheng handed me the brush with her own hands, smiled and helped me unfold the white paper on the stand, and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you to give me the lamp!"

I couldn't help laughing, I'm just an old maid who has studied for several years, how can I compare to those young masters present today?All I can do is try my best.

Seeing me, a maid, joining in the riddle guessing, Mr. Moyi glanced at me in surprise. Bai Zhongyu glared at me displeased, but rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This kind of trivial matter of guessing riddles is not easy at all. This young master should come in person, come here, Huanxi, come and answer for this young master!"

If I lose, I am a servant, and it is reasonable that my skills are not as good as others. If I win, it will show how powerful Bai Zhongyu is as a master.

Master Biao's calculations are really smooth!

I laughed secretly in my heart, and found that Yingsheng wanted to refute Master Biao, so I quickly pressed her hand and shook my head slightly at her.

Ying Sheng looked at me puzzled, and then at Young Master Biao unwillingly, but in the end he didn't insist on saying what he wanted to say.

I smiled reassuringly, and looked at the puzzle in Mr. Moyi's hands, but I didn't notice that there was a touch of coldness in Yingsheng's eyes looking at Bai Zhongyu.

Mr. Moyi would not give Young Master Biao a chance to escape, he said in a deep voice, "Young Master Bai, isn't it unjust for you to be trapped in this way?"

Young Master Biao was stunned for a moment, "Why did I get you wronged?"

Young Master Mo Yi put down the brush in his hand and looked at me, "Competing with a maid, it's no fun even if you win."

"That's right, cousin, don't be afraid of him, I believe you!" Yingsheng said with a smile, her crescent-like smiling eyes looked at Bai Zhongyu without blinking, which made people feel uncomfortable, "Huanxi is just a random guess, cousin , I am still waiting for you to give me this seven-color glazed lamp."

Bai Zhongyu looked at Yingsheng in embarrassment, now it was really hard to get off, he could only bite the bullet and nodded, and gave the little servant behind him a sideways wink.

Young Master Biao must want the boy to guess together, and remind him if he guesses.

"The first lantern riddle is—sheep and left intersect to share one heart." Mr. Mo Yi was determined to compete with Young Master Biao, and he would not give Bai Zhongyu a chance to escape with excuses. Lang Lang read it out, "Hit one Character."

Bai Zhongyu scratched his head, but his servant thought of it first, so the servant quickly walked to his side and whispered something in his ear.

Bai Zhongyu smiled in relief, picked up a pen and wrote the word "poor" on the white paper.

The boy in black and I had already finished writing, the stall owner nodded slightly, and we got the first riddle right together.

"I'm going to read the puzzle this time, cousin, don't be the last one to answer it again." Yingsheng took the second puzzle first, and winked at Bai Zhongyu with a smile.

It's okay if Yingsheng didn't remind him, but once he reminded the onlookers, they all focused their attention on Young Master Biao, and I could clearly see that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

What Yingsheng wants is this kind of result. She is very clear about the weight of Young Master Biao. There are still nine questions in the back. No skill.

"As soon as you enter Xichuan, the water level is flat, and you can type a word."

Hearing Yingsheng finished reading, I smiled knowingly, lowered my head and wrote the word "remuneration" on the white paper.After finishing writing, I picked up the pen, and when I looked up, I saw the boy in black was looking up and down at me in surprise.

I avoided his gaze, only feeling a little uneasy.

Suddenly Yingsheng wanted to come and get the answer to the riddle I wrote, I quickly pressed the blank paper and shook my head at Yingsheng.After all, I'm a servant, so I can't talk about the riddle before the two young masters.

Yingsheng looked at me puzzled, and soon she could only pout.

Young Master Mo Yi thought for a while, and finally guessed the answer to this mystery.

When everyone's eyes fell on Bai Zhongyu, Bai Zhongyu only felt that his cheeks were really burning, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground and get in.

"Cousin, what's the matter with you?" Ying Sheng didn't ask, it was fine, but this question seemed to force Master Biao to quickly write down the answer.

Master Biao was very anxious, so he simply wrote the word "Zhou" and shook the white paper, "Master, I don't want to play anymore! It's just a broken lamp, cousin, let's go, cousin will buy you dozens of lamps over there." !"

I don't know who in the crowd couldn't help laughing, so more people laughed too.

Bai Zhongyu was so ashamed that he stomped his feet angrily: "Who dares to laugh at me?! Stand up!" As he said that, he began to roll up his sleeves, as if he wanted to hit someone.

"I don't have any knowledge and skills, so people are not allowed to make jokes?"

"That's right, is it great just because I have some bad money?"

"If you can't be a literati, don't come to play our literati's tricks, leave quickly, and save the excitement here."

Hearing Bai Zhongyu's angry words, several scholars in the crowd couldn't help but speak.

Originally, Bai Zhongyu wanted to go up and punch those scholars a few times, but he took a step forward and found that there were quite a few of them, and they surrounded him tightly in an instant.

The servant nervously protected Bai Zhongyu, "Master, run!"

"What are you talking about! Why do you want to run, young master?" Bai Zhongyu kicked the servant hard, almost taking his anger out on the servant, "I'll kill you, you timid and afraid of death!"

"Stop!" Mr. Mo Yi really couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed Bai Zhongyu's fist, and shouted in a deep voice, "If Young Master Bai continues to fight, I will report to the police and arrest him!"

"Report! Master Shen, the magistrate, is my uncle!" Bai Zhongyu suddenly got angry, "Do you think uncle will arrest me?"

"Prefect Shen doesn't dare to arrest you, but I dare." As soon as Mr. Moyi finished speaking, he let go of him, and took out a token from his bosom, "I don't know what to do, Cao Feng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

When Bai Zhongyu saw clearly the word "Department of Punishment" on the token, his face turned pale with fright, and he didn't know what to say for a while?

"Young Master Bai uttered wild words in the street, and wanted to kill the young man who accompanied him, and all the witnesses present." After Cao Feng finished speaking calmly, he glanced at the crowd, "The laws of my Great Song Dynasty are clearly written, the murderer pays with his life. "

Bai Zhongyu's face was ashen, he looked around in a panic, and saw a gap in the crowd, he squeezed out of the gap without looking back, and ran away without a trace.

"Let you bully my Huanxi! Hmph!"

When I heard the lingering sound beside me, I finally recovered from the shock.

Cao Feng drove away the obstructive Bai Zhongyu, turned his head and smiled at Yingsheng, "I just don't want that boy to be beaten innocently, so please forgive me for offending cousin Ling."

Yingsheng smiled brightly, she shook her head, her eyes were as gentle as a pool of autumn water, "Your servant didn't do anything wrong, but you are willing to speak up for your servants, this is something that Yingsheng really admires."

"Where is it, Miss is absurd!" Cao Feng was delighted to hear it, and waved his hands again and again, which was very polite.

At this moment, the eyes of Ying Sheng and Cao Feng are facing each other, this is the first time I saw the brilliance of approval in Ying Sheng's eyes.

There was a slight sourness in my heart for no reason.

I lowered my head and sighed softly.

A talented scholar and a beautiful lady, or a talented scholar with a beautiful heart like Mr. Shi Lang, should be the blessing of Yingsheng.

But why do I feel apprehensive?

Even, I still feel a little sad for no reason.

Perhaps, I am reluctant to linger.

If the eldest lady is still alive, she will be like me.

I found a reason for myself, raised my eyes again, and saw my lord and his wife among the crowd of onlookers.

The adults looked at Cao Feng with eyes full of approval, but Madam's eyes were full of envy.

"Today's riddle guessing is not over yet..." Cao Feng said suddenly, and he looked at me, "The competition is not over yet." There was a hint of respect in his eyes, "Would this girl want to continue the competition?"

I just wanted to get out of here quickly, so I quickly waved my hand.

Cao Feng saw that I couldn't speak, but Yingsheng had already walked to my side and grabbed my hand.

She said word by word: "Huanxi, promise me, you can't break your word!"

I stared at her blankly, feeling embarrassed.

Yingsheng pursed her lips, and said seriously: "If you, a master, don't count on your words, then I will learn in the future. This is called the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"

I frowned anxiously, and wanted to write in her palm, but Yingsheng avoided it.

I was in a hurry to get the white paper from the stall, and was about to write what I wanted to say to Yingsheng, but Cao Feng handed me the brush first, "It's rare for me to meet someone who is equal, so why should the girl be humble? Not sure, you and I can't finish all the lantern riddles today."

It was only then that I discovered that this young man had a faint smell of pine smoke and ink, just like the ink coat on his body, which perfectly brought out his bookish atmosphere.

I have to admit that Cao Feng did have a good skin.

Yingsheng didn't believe what Cao Feng said, "My Huanxi can definitely guess all of them!"

"Oh? If your Huanxi wins me, then I will give you another lamp, okay?"

"A word is settled!"

Yingsheng looked at me proudly.

Normally, I would not disappoint Yingsheng.But at this moment, my lord and my wife are watching, how can I show my literary talents so unscrupulously in front of my eldest lady?

Seeing that I didn't answer with a smile like usual, Yingsheng seemed a little sad, she was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Young Master Cao, why don't I compare the remaining eight lantern riddles with you."

Would Cao Feng not be happy?

"it is good."

Yingsheng took the writing brush from my hand, and she hastily whispered in my ear, "Huanxi, I will do my best!"

How can I care about your winning or losing?

All I care about is your emotions.

Seeing me frowning slightly, Yingsheng shook his head at me and smiled slightly.

Suddenly, I felt an itch in my palm, but it was Ying Sheng who quietly wrote something on it.

I carefully felt Yingsheng's strokes.

"I will give you the lamp this year, and you will give it to me next year."

Silly Yingsheng.

In a daze, I seemed to see that summer night——

"If you bully me, I will bully you too. If I treat you better, will you treat me better?"

Back then, Xiao Yingsheng said such a sentence foolishly, thinking about it now, it was enough to warm my heart.

Ying Sheng, Ying Sheng, what should I do with you?

The author has something to say: =. = Sudden update, no surprise~
