I raised a husband in ancient times

Chapter 52

"Sister-in-law, listen to my quibbles!"

"No, listen to my explanation!"

Lu Yiming saw someone rushing towards Pei Xing's sleeves and stopped him. He squeezed Feng Tingji's arm tightly. , I didn't intend to take any serious action at first, but now I really want to silence the person.

"Brother Lu, no, Brother Lu, husband-in-law, we are joking. Brother Lu has never been to Yixiang House. He rejected us righteously. You have to believe Brother Lu!" Looking at this

picture With a face that is even more immature than theirs, Feng Tingji has no problem with calling Pei Xing "sister-in-law".

At this moment, they couldn't care less about face. They were still waiting for Lu Yiming to teach them martial arts so that they could slap those Jiangzhou Prefecture people in the face. If they offended Lu Yiming today, they would not be beaten to death.

They knew very well last time at the racecourse that the precious purse they held in their hands during the break was all their fault.

Li Yuanzhen stepped forward and agreed: "Yes, brother-in-law, Brother Lu always rushes home after dark and has no time to fool around with us."

It's impossible not to help. There was a tie, and he tried to compete with others every day. In the first few days, he had a certain winning rate, but in the next few days, he was basically beaten. At this moment, he was completely convinced.

Now he and Feng Tingji are like grasshoppers on the same rope, waiting for someone to help him improve his fighting strength. Maybe something else can be obtained from him, so the chance of winning is much higher, right?

"Yes, yes, husband-in-law, Brother Lu also advised us to learn martial arts well and not go to these places all the time..."

Lu Yiming never said this. He glanced at a few people and covered the husband's ears so as not to listen to them. Nonsense.

Pei Xing has heard of the name of Yixiang Tower. After all, it is the only Chun Tower in the town and has a great reputation. However, Miss Ruoshui has never seen it. He is a brother and does not go to the Flower Tower. He will not hang out in such a place. .

Some time ago, when I went to celebrate the New Year for my father, my father accidentally reminded him that his husband was studying in the town and he was not around, so he might go to Hualou without telling him.

Pei Xing believed that her husband would not go to that kind of place, because there was no smell of rouge or powder on her husband's clothes, and every night, her husband... The red

light of the lantern shone on Pei Xing's face, and Lu Yiming inexplicably felt that this man was... I thought of something indescribable, rather than the blushing face reflected in the light.

"Of course I trust you, husband."

Seeing that Pei Xing was not angry, the foursome finally felt a little cold for themselves, especially Tian Aiwu, who always felt that he had saved his life.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Pei Xing's next words almost scared them out of their wits.

"Husband, today's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, why don't we go and take a look at Miss Ruoshui's performance?"

...

Feng Tingji and others watched the performance in the river with unwavering eyes. They were still the same beautiful and moving people, but their mood was different when looking at the scenery. But it's completely different.

No matter how good I am, I can't bear to be so frightened.

They looked at the young couple beside them helplessly, wondering how things could become like this.

Have you ever seen the scene where the couple watch the courtesan together? Anyway, they met now, and the person involved acted as if nothing had happened, not treating them as outsiders at all.

Pei Xing pulled Lu Yiming to stand on the stone bridge and looked curiously into the river.

He was really curious about what Miss Ruoshui looked like to attract people's attention. The most important thing was that he had never seen a river lantern show before, so he was very curious. He just wanted to simply admire it, rather than be like the people around him. , I wish I could strip the person naked on the spot.

Melodious vocal music came from afar, and the crowds along the river became quiet. In complete contrast to the previous commotion, a large red light lit up the upper reaches of the Hua River, which was eclipsed by the moonlight.

The grand red lotus, surrounded by eight white lotuses, slowly drove along the river, its dazzling light broke through the dark night sky, and stopped outside Yixiang Tower along the river.

"So beautiful!"

Pei Xing was not the only one to exclaim. The crowd by the river also held their breath and could not look away.

Lu Yiming followed Pei Xing's gaze and saw that eight white lotuses that were originally closed in the river slowly bloomed, and eight graceful ladies were revealed in the lotus platform, with gauze dancing.

A burst of sweet arpeggios sounded from the red lotus that was about to bloom in the middle. The petals slowly unfolded in response. A woman wearing purple glazed clothes and a white beaded gauze sitting on the lotus platform holding a pipa.

The bells on the glazed clothes rang crisply, as if you were in a quiet valley, lingering in a wonderful fairyland.

Seeing that the person was immersed in the performance, Lu Yiming opened and closed the corners of his mouth slightly and leaned forward slightly. He understood that the person was very satisfied with the Lotus performance, so he let him watch.

However, they were on the stone bridge. The stone railing in front of them was not high and the crowd was a bit crowded. Lu Yiming silently reached out and grabbed the man's back collar to prevent him from falling into the river.

Others are looking at the scenery, but Lu Yiming is different. He is analyzing technology.

Not as cool as the immersive experience, the live performance has more artificial traces, as if there is no post-production, and it always feels like it is missing some soul.

The slowly opening petals were opened manually by the eight dancers on the side, and the threads were hidden in the streamers just now. It was dark now, and the viewers' eyes were focused on the agile dancers, so they ignored these details and felt Wonderful.

Sure enough, modern technology is more fascinating.

After Pei Xing was amazed, he put away his contented mood and decided that the trip was not in vain.

He turned his attention to Lu Yiming and found that he was watching the performance in the distance intently. His heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

The husband's eyes did not show the desire that the people around him were looking at the dancers, but he seemed to be deep in thought.

"What are you looking at, husband?"

Lu Yiming was brought back to reality by Pei Xing's call. Seeing that the person had been separated from the performance, he naturally replied: "I was thinking about the ropes that pulled the petals and the way the lotus platform was fixed before."

Pei Xingshun Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw the iron hooks fixed on the edge of the lotus platform and the attendants by the river. I deciphered the lotus flowers floating in the air just now. I suddenly felt that this performance was not as outstanding as before.

To put it simply, the fairy spirit is gone.

Hearing this, Feng Tingji didn't believe Lu Yiming. He turned his head and looked at the man whose expression had not changed, with admiration in his eyes. Someone could talk so confidently about watching an oiran performance. He learned it again.

If anyone asked him in the future, he would answer that he was observing how the petals on Miss Ruoshui's hands spread out, or how the pipa was practiced.

These answers are perfect. He is not looking at the oiran, he is studying skills!

"Do you want to go up and have a look? I'll make one for you when I go back. There happens to be a creek in front of the old house. My husband can experience it."

Lu Yiming felt his husband's curiosity about the lotus, and suddenly felt itchy. If the little star What would it be like to wear women's clothes and dance on the lotus platform? Just thinking of this scene made his mouth suddenly go dry.

It had to be made with a better airtight seal so that the husband could only dance inside for him to see.

"Husband, there is no need to go to such trouble. This is my first time seeing this lantern show, so I am just curious."

Lu Yiming nodded outwardly, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

After the song "Yuan Xiang" ended, Miss Ruoshui put down the pipa in her hand, smiled brightly at Yixiang Tower, and sang and danced softly.

The calm water mirror reflected the bustling scene on the bank. The whole river was bustling with activity. Lu Yiming raised his head and looked towards the elegant seat of Yixiang Tower. The person sitting in the upper seat nodded to him. It seemed that this person had noticed them early.

"Is it Gu Huan?"

Pei Xing also saw the man holding the jade fan. His expression was cold, which was very different from the way he looked when he was eating and drinking at their house.

Isn't this person the head of Yuelai? Looking at other people's respectful looks, it seems that it's more than that.

Before Lu Yiming could answer, Feng Tingji looked stunned: "You know Gu Huan, Mr. Gu?"

Mr. Gu? Gu Huan didn't say that he was on duty in the court, and Lu Yiming was also a little surprised.

Also, Xie Cheng is probably a general, so it is not impossible for Gu Huan to hold an official position. Previously, they thought that the other party was just an imperial merchant, but it seems that is not the case.

Thinking like this, Lu Yiming glanced at the rooftop opposite Yixiang Building, and the people in the darkness also saw him.

"We've met several times."

"You can do it, Brother Lu, you actually know the inspector sent to Jiangzhou Prefecture by the imperial court this time."

The person next to Gu Huan was his father, who had invited Gu Huan to his house. He and the other party only met each other once, and it was still a question whether Mr. Gu could recognize him. But now he saw someone who even his father respected greeting Lu Yiming. It was impossible not to be surprised.

As for Lu Yiming's statement that he had met him several times, he didn't believe it. Would someone he didn't know go out of his way to say hello?

Feng Tingji no longer looked at Lu Yiming like a peasant, and thought to himself, could this person be from the capital too? Maybe it's just that someone in the family committed something and was implicated and was demoted to Wuhe Village.

Anyway, he didn't see any trace of his farm background in this person. Even if he knew their identity, he would not shrink back and treat them respectfully. After getting along with them, they felt ashamed.

In archery, archery is not good; in martial arts, fighting is not good; in weightlifting, weightlifting is not good.

Now even their best strategies can't compare with them. Lu Yiming's thinking is much more flexible than theirs, but they are more like talking on paper.

Why is there such a person in the world who is better than you in everything and more talented than you in everything, yet you still think that this person should be like this?

While he was in a daze, several people had returned to the main street from Yixiang Building.

The Lantern Festival is more than just watching lanterns and performances. It is incomplete without guessing lantern riddles.

Lantern riddles are divided into government-run and private ones. There are many lanterns hanging out in front of the yamen. People who take off the strips can guess the riddles based on the riddles. If they guess a certain number correctly, they can go to the temporary wooden shed in front of the yamen to receive lanterns or other rewards. .

Because there is no need to spend money, many people have gathered early, and there are not many red bars left above the head.

As for the private sector, it is a guessing activity at small stalls and vendors. The price ranges from one to five cents a piece, which is not expensive. The production of these lanterns is more handmade, rather than the unified painting of the government-run ones.

"Would you like to guess this lantern riddle? Three pieces for five cents."

Too lazy to crowd around, Lu's father and mother separated from Lu Yiming and the others when they met Feng Tingji and the others. There happened to be six people in the group, so Feng Tingji took out ten cents. Qian: "One for each person."

They just joined in the fun, it didn't matter whether they won the prize or not, they were happy to buy it.

The mystery that Lu Yiming got was simple: fragmentation and overhaul (name it).

Without spending any time, he was the first to hand the paper back to the stall owner: "Sage."

The other party was stunned for a moment, took the riddle to confirm that it was correct, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to this guest, you got the answer right."

Pei Xing tight frowned, holding the paper and thinking hard. Although he knew all the words, it was his first time to try to guess the riddle. It was a bit difficult for him, especially after the people around him guessed it one after another, the nervousness became even more intense. .

Lu Yiming saw that the person had not moved, so he lowered his head and glanced at Pei Xing's mysterious face: splitting rocks and moving mountains, cultivating fields and planting willows (beat a piece of fruit).

This question wasn't difficult, it was simpler than his. He didn't tell the other person directly, but let him think for himself.

The husband has made great achievements in his recent studies. He is not only satisfied with simple writing, but has also begun to read other documents, not to mention full of poetry. However, this mystery should not be a problem for him. It is only a matter of time.

Pei Xing stopped paying attention to other people's situations and focused on the mystery.

After a while.

"Husband, I know! It's a pomegranate!" Pei Xing showed the riddle to Lu Yiming, "The word rock moves the mountains, it's a rock, and the willows on the fields are pomegranates!" The husband was

very happy because he guessed the answer to the riddle, and he spoke faster than usual. Quickly, Lu Yiming looked at his face that was slightly red with excitement, and patted his head encouragingly: "My husband is awesome."

Pei Xing felt a little embarrassed after being praised.

The people on the side had never seen Lu Yiming look so gentle before, and they almost got goosebumps. After confirming that this man was not possessed, they complimented, "I didn't expect my husband to be so powerful." "Yeah!

My husband taught me that. ."

Seeing Pei Xing's proud face, he was originally just being polite, but now it made several people feel embarrassed to be perfunctory, and they all praised Lu Yiming for his good teaching.

After winning the lantern, several people were satisfied and planned to leave. A woman with her head lowered and her face slightly blushing, walked towards them hesitantly, holding a purse and a river lantern in her hand.

She stood in front of Feng Tingji, glanced at him softly, and shyly handed the thing in her hand to him.

The Lantern Festival is another festival for begging for cleverness. Scenes like this are indeed quite common. If Feng Ting accepts the offer, it means that he is also interested in the other person. He can just choose a day to find someone to propose marriage according to the information left in his wallet.

"You are so blessed, Brother Feng."

The Tian brothers teased Feng Tingji, but the latter just laughed, looking like he could only drink from one ladle.

He gently pushed back the other party's purse and lantern with his hand, and declined: "I have an engagement."

The woman did not give up. Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were extremely firm. She took a step closer to Feng Tingji.

Lu Yiming's eyes narrowed, no, this is not a woman!

"Be careful!"

Only Lu Yiming noticed something was wrong. He stepped forward and reached out to pull Feng Tingji's arm, staggering the dagger that revealed its true identity from behind the lantern.

The man missed the target and hid in the crowd.

Li Yuanzhen frowned and asked, "Are you not injured?"

This is the second time!

Feng Tingji's eyes turned red and he said angrily: "Fortunately, Brother Lu pulled me out. Damn it, isn't this the same person who wanted to harm me some time ago? Why is his ghost still lingering?" They had tame the

horse before. The police officer pulled him over and questioned him, but it turned out that the man really didn't know anything. All his efforts were in vain and he still hasn't found out who the murderer is.

The past few days had been calm, and they had reduced the number of times they went out, concentrating on the racecourse. Unexpectedly, this man still refused to give up, and today's Lantern Festival actually gave people an opportunity.

"If labor and management catch this man, he will beat the shit out of him!"

Looking at Feng Tingji's angry look, Lu Yiming felt inexplicably flustered for some reason.

His eyelids twitched and he turned to look over.

The stall owner who guessed the lantern riddles looked at them dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open in surprise, and he was holding a new riddle face in his hand and planned to hang it up.

There was no one right in front of him, and the little star who was supposed to be standing next to the stall was nowhere to be seen!

The author has something to say: Lu Yiming: Where is my wife? Why is my such a grown-up daughter-in-law missing?

Happy birthday to my motherland! Prosperity! Happy holidays friends!

Note: The riddle comes from the Internet.

I don't know if any of my friends guessed it correctly~
