Chapter 72

The lantern riddle that the little girl liked was not too difficult, and it happened that Luo Yan had the answer in his mind.It's a fluke, and Luo Yan's omnipotent image in the little girl's heart can still be preserved.

Because of the prior agreement, Ying'er didn't bother much, took the lantern and followed behind Luo Yan who turned around and left.

Naturally, all kinds of snacks are indispensable for the Lantern Festival. Yinger's attention soon shifted from the lanterns to the food.I think the sugar industry is not as developed as later generations, and some species have not been introduced from abroad, so the most common snacks you can see on the street are all kinds of candied fruit, preserved fruit, and dried meat.Of course, one very important thing cannot be forgotten, that is chestnut.

Chestnut is a native organism in China, and there is a record of chestnut in the "Book of Songs".

Of course, it is impossible to stir-fry chestnuts with sugar, but there are many chestnuts without sugar.At this moment, Ying'er was stuck in front of a stall filled with gravel and chestnuts.

"Luo Yan, I want to eat this." The little girl had no intention of discussing with Luo Yan at all.Anyway, from her point of view, Luo Yan has no right to disagree, as long as he pays the money obediently.

Looking at the chestnuts being stir-fried, Luo Yan was also hungry.He also missed this food very much. He hadn't eaten it for a long time, and almost forgot the sweet taste.Without further ado, I followed the little girl in front of the stall, waiting for the hot chestnuts to come out of the pot.

Of course, they didn't have to wait long, as the chestnuts had been stir-fried for a while.Because both of them were greedy, Luo Yan naturally couldn't just buy a little, so he simply got a bigger coarse cloth bag, filled it up and finished.Seeing Luo Yan's bold move, Ying'er was overjoyed, she might have had enough chestnuts tonight.

There was no need to discuss it at all, and the little girl didn't think it was too hot, so she just snatched the bag.Then, regardless of Luo Yan's stunned gaze, he took out a chestnut, bit it with his teeth, and finished the chestnut in two or three strokes.Smacking her lips, the little girl said with satisfaction: "Well, this is the taste, it's so delicious."

Well, forgive Luo Yan for refreshing his understanding of the little girl again.In terms of eating, Yinger is not a lady at all.Even Luo Yan was in admiration for the bold and unrestrained movements just now.

Now that she has got the chestnuts, Ying'er doesn't stay any longer, and eats the chestnuts as she walks forward. Of course, she won't forget to reward Luo Yan with one or two for him to taste.Helpless, Luo Yan had no choice but to follow the little girl, ready to accept her reward at any time.

There are people coming and going on Suzaku Street, and after walking for a long time, it is only a distance of one Duofang City.

There were people guessing lantern riddles on the street from time to time. Yinger wanted to join in the fun several times, but seeing Luo Yan walking forward on his own, she showed no interest at all, and the little girl had no choice but to leave.There's no way, whoever made himself incapable of guessing lantern riddles had to rely on Luo Yan.However, Luo Yan didn't like this oil and salt.

The two just stood in front of each other without saying a word, watching the lantern in silence.

Almost just after passing Kaihuafang and entering Anrenfang, Luo Yan was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Brother Luo, stay here."

Looking back, it turned out to be Qu Tuquan.

When Qu Tuquan walked in front of Luo Yan, without waiting for him to say anything, the little girl Yinger asked, "Luo Yan, who is this?" Although Qu Tuquan didn't know the little girl, he wanted to come to Luo Yan's side. The woman in question is nothing more than a family member of the Lu family, so she said flatteringly: "I have seen the girl before Qu Tuquan."

"I see, it's you, you bad guy, you're the one who took Luo Yan to the brothel, right?" Upon hearing that it was Qu Tuquan, Ying'er immediately remembered that it was rumored in Chang'an that Qu Tuquan and Luo Yan were meeting at a set. Yaxuan's acquaintance.And completely ignored the fact that Luo Yan took the initiative to go, and gave Qu Tuquan the blame.

The little girl's yelling was very loud, which attracted the attention of the people around her.Although it is not a big deal for a man to go to a brothel at this time, and maybe some people will envy you, but being said by such a little girl in the public has attracted so many unexplained gazes, Qu Tu Quan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in.

"Okay, okay, what nonsense are you talking about. Brother Qu Tu, if you have something to say, go to another place." Seeing that this place couldn't stay longer, Luo Yan said quickly.

This time he reminded Qu Tuquan, pulled Luo Yan, and walked directly to a tall building regardless of Yinger beside Luo Yan.Yinger had no choice but to follow obediently.

When he reached the gate of the tall building, Qu Tuquan said, "I'm just worried. This restaurant held a poetry meeting and invited several famous Confucian scholars from Chang'an to be judges. It is said that the first prize was Jiannan Shaochun for ten years. My dear, this is a big deal. Tribute wine is a lot better. I know it’s not the material. I was thinking that if Brother Luo was here, I would be able to satisfy my greed. I didn’t expect to encounter it when I turned around. Uh, by the way, this little Who is the girl, she made my little brother ashamed just now, and there is almost nowhere to hide."

Thinking of the little girl's harsh accusation against Qu Tuquan just now, Luo Yan wanted to laugh. "This is the teacher's granddaughter. She is usually in the backyard. I didn't see her when you came last time. It's normal not to know her."

"Oh, it turned out to be Assistant Professor Lu's granddaughter. Little girl, let me tell you, I didn't drag him to Jiyaxuan, he was there when I went." Qu Tuquan obviously didn't want to take the blame alone, So I am going to drag Luo Yan into the water.

"Then the second time, who called Luo Yan out of my house to go to the brothel?" The little girl couldn't forgive her.

"I just want to say that it's the first time..." Qu Tuquan was determined not to give in.

"Okay, okay, let's think about how we can drink the Jiannan Shaochun for the past ten years." Luo Yan saw that the fire was in danger of rushing towards him, so he quickly changed the topic.

Qu Tuquan also only heard that the first prize here came from Jian Nanchun who was ten years old, but the detailed rules are still unclear.Because when this guy heard that he was writing a poem, he immediately fell in love.If he hadn't seen Luo Yan appearing, he would have drooled for a few moments at the entrance of the restaurant, and would have gone back to wash and sleep.

After squeezing into the crowd and asking about the rules of the poetry meeting in detail, Luo Yan felt at ease.

The entrance examination is very simple, as long as you can write a poem about Yuanxi and get the affirmation of the Confucian scholars in charge, you will pass the test.Of course, the level of this Confucian student is not low. It is said that he participated in this year's Mingjing subject. Although he failed, his forte is poetry writing.So this restaurant paid a lot of money to invite this person to check in, just to get rid of some people who wanted to get away with it in the first round.

And it seems that the price offered is not low. You see, the second generation ancestor clamored to offer ten taels of silver to ask this person to let him go, but he didn't refuse.And the judging method is even more special, no matter whether this person thinks it is good or not, first let people read the submitted poems aloud, and then give some comments.Where it is good and where it is bad, people can give reasons to convince the people present.

Many people who were turned away stayed here for a long time just to hear this person's comments with their own ears.

At this moment, another fisherman came to fish in troubled waters, handed in his poems, and then they were read out in public.

"The sky is bright, and the ground is bright. Manman Suzaku Street, faintly looking at the full moon.

The red light reflects Zhu'e, Ruixue and Suyi.Qinger beauty to go, lovesickness as long as the moon. "

Well, the last few sentences can barely be regarded as poetry, but the first few sentences are obviously just trying to make up the word count, which is not much better than the kid's jingle.

"Your Excellency's poem, um, although it is plain, the meaning is quite good. However, it can only mean that the meaning is good, and the words are too common. Your Excellency should go back and study for a few more years. Maybe it can replace the next one in the future. Seat." The commenter didn't say much, but he was very happy to coax the second generation ancestor.

"Next." The Confucian scholar waved his hand.

Originally, Luo Yan wanted to continue watching for a while, but among other things, this Confucian scholar's way of commenting and comforting people is simply too sharp.

Who would have thought that there would be a strong force coming from behind him, and he would be pushed in front of the crowd.Among the Confucian scholars commenting and the crowd, Luo Yan stood alone at the moment, looking very eye-catching.

It turned out that the little girl Ying'er was anxious to get Luo Yan to behave, so she didn't inform Luo Yan at all, and pushed him out directly.No, the little girl is still shouting at this moment: "Luo Yan, it's time for you to show off, don't let me down." Qu Tuquan who was next to him was also unwilling to be lonely, and shouted: "Brother Luo, the younger brother's wine is as good as it gets." rely on you."

No way, just bite the bullet.

Salute to the Confucian scholar on the opposite side, and then report his family name: "I met my dear brother in Luoyan, Xialuzhou."

This Confucian scholar was about 30 years old at the most, and when he heard Luo Yan being so polite, he replied: "Chen Yizhi, a native of Chang'an, has met Luo Xiaoshu."

After all, although Luo Yan took the Jinshi examination, he is also a person who has passed the official status, so Chen Yizhi couldn't be more polite.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter? I'm a white man now. What's the school book? I came here today, and I heard that Jiannan Shaochun has been here for ten years. I really can't help but be greedy, so I can only come up with a brazen face. .”

"Hahaha, Xiaoshu Luo has a real temperament. I know Xiaoshu Luo's poetic talent, so I think I'm sure I'll come to Jiannan Shaochun. Don't forget to have a drink with me when the time comes. I thought I'd let him go, But for the matter of cannibalism and loyalty, Xiaoshu Luo must compose a poem here on the spot." Chen Yizhi said with a smile.

"It's natural." Luo Yan was not angry because of Chen Yizhi's inaccommodation, but had a greater affection for this person.

Thinking about the poems about Yuanxi in his mind, Luo Yan first chose Cui Ye's "Shangyuanye".Originally, Su Weiwei's "Fifteenth Night of the First Moon" had more gorgeous words, but when he thought about the opening sentence "fire trees and silver flowers together", Luo Yan pinched out his own thoughts.Fireworks are most often described as firework. If you insist on the shape of this lantern, it is not impossible, but the effect is not good.Who knows what this fiery tree and silver flower is.
