Xu Ting understood it a little bit, no wonder Lu Zhilan was so well-versed in it, this anagram was indeed a bit difficult.
People in the world always have a prejudice against people who practice martial arts, thinking that they are some reckless women with well-developed limbs and simple minds, but has Lu Zhilan forgotten that she is not a pawn, she is a general who commands thousands of troops.
"Grandson" and "Six Secret Teachings" are not simpler than "Book of Songs" and "Shangshu". Why would Lu Zhilan act like she doesn't know Chinese characters
Although the Xu family has only made a fortune for three generations, Xu Ting's grandmother is indeed just a mud leg who can fight, but Xu Ting's father, Lord Han of the town's border palace, is a real family member.
Therefore, Xu Ting's upbringing is not inferior to the so-called noble daughters of aristocratic families. Anyone who thinks that she is an idiot because of her strong martial arts will not know how to humiliate herself.
Coincidentally, Lu Zhilan's crossword riddle was randomly memorized by an ear when Xu Ting's younger brothers were guessing lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival in the town's palace.
A smug look appeared on Lu Zhilan's face, Xu Ting raised his eyebrows, and was about to say the answer, but suddenly felt an itch in the palm of his hand.
It's Du Siyin!
One point, one horizontal, one left, one horizontal, one vertical, one horizontal - Zhuang
Xu Ting's right hand has been holding Du Siyin, but now Du Siyin is worried that Xu Ting will not be able to solve the anagram, so he quietly writes in Xu Ting's palm.
Xu Ting lowered his eyes to see the hands they were holding, and there was a smile in his eyes, as if reflected in the scattered lights around him.
"Zhuang." Xu Ting said, "Miss Lu, is that right?"
Hearing Xu Ting gave the correct answer, Du Siyin heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly there was a voice of enlightenment from around, and those talented women who were still racking their brains before knocking on their fans one after another, said: "It's 'Zhuang' or 'Zhuang', isn't it, I almost guessed it too!"
Lu Zhilan's complexion was ugly, but it was Mo Zian who reacted quickly, saluted slightly decently, and said: "Xu Shinu is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also knowledgeable, which is really admirable. It seems that this river lantern is finally destined to be with Xu Shinu. Let's be beautiful adults."
Lu Zhilan said with resentment: "Xu Shinu, leave!"
Xu Ting: "I will not send it away."
After the two left, Xu Ting also took Du Siyin to leave. Du Siyin held a lantern in one hand and smiled uncontrollably.
Today was the first time he met Mo Zian, but because of Lu Zhilan, he was already forced to compare with Mo Zian.
Every time Lu Zhilan did something sensational and romantic for Mo Zian, Du Miaoyan would always go outside his yard to add fuel and sarcasm to mock him.
Therefore, Du Siyin was faintly unwilling to lose to Mo Zian. When they met today, Du Siyin couldn't help feeling a bit competitive. Xu Ting won He Deng to him, and he was very happy.
"How does Si Yin know that the answer to the riddle is 'Zhuang'?"
Since Du Siyin misunderstood her as a warrior woman with little knowledge, Xu Ting didn't mind continuing to play the image of this illiterate warrior woman. Anyway, Du Siyin seemed to accept this image very well.
Thinking about it, it's quite interesting, Xu Ting's mouth curled into a very shallow smile.
"Looking south-lone star-brow moon-rising, looking south is the king under the word Wang, the lone star is a dot, and the crescent moon looks like a twitch, which is the word Zhuang." Du Siyin explained with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that Siyin is indeed one of the four princes in the capital, with outstanding talents and learning." Xu Ting looked at Du Siyin and said.
Du Siyin blushed slightly from the praise, he was too white, and he would show his face when he was a little emotional, and he might not be able to hide a lie in the future.
"It's just the praise of good people." Du Siyin said shyly.
He spoke lightly, but the other three of the four sons of the capital, one is the lord under the current emperor's knee, the other is a descendant of the family, who has already been engaged to the seventh emperor's daughter, and the last one is the prince of Nanhui Kingdom, who was born at will when he was young. Take the princess of Nanhui Kingdom into Dayan as a hostage.
And Du Siyin stands side by side among the three with his talent and learning, which shows his intelligence.
Before they knew it, they had already walked into the stream of people putting river lanterns on. The whole street was filled with brightly colored young men and high-spirited women.
The river is already full of river lanterns, reflecting their reflections and sparkling.
Xu Ting and Du Siyin didn't specifically look for a place, nor did they rush upstream like everyone else.
In fact, there are many river lantern activities organized by large merchants in the upper reaches, and every year, the scenery of Shierqiao Street is a must.
Xu Ting and Du Siyin walked down the steps next to the street. After walking four or five steps, they could touch the river.
Du Siyin squatted down and tucked the corner of her skirt a little.
He untied a pouch from his waist and took out a folded note from it.
Xu Ting also squatted down beside him and asked, "What did you write?"
Du Siyin unfolded the note and showed it to Xu Ting, only to see two rows of beautiful lowercase script written on it: "When the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win, but there are countless in the world."
He was a little shy, and after Xu Ting had seen it, he folded it up and put it in the river lantern.
There was already a wick in the river lantern, so Xu Ting took out a fire pocket and blew it on and handed it to Du Siyin, Du Siyin lit the river lantern, and with a light hand, the river lantern floated into the river unsteadily.
Because Du Siyin's river lantern is beautiful, and it is also very eye-catching when it is integrated into other river lanterns. Du Siyin looked at the river lantern, and his heart was filled with a sense of stability and beauty.
"If you want to see the river lights, let's go to the bridge over there."
"it is good."
Xu Ting pulled Du Siyin up.
While walking on the bridge, a person suddenly came down from the Linjiang Tower next to him and waved at Xu Ting. It turned out to be Su Jin.
Du Siyin quickly covered Xu Ting's back.
"Commander, why don't you go upstairs and have a drink!"
Xu Ting: "No."
Su Jin was in a hurry, how could she not go, there was the master upstairs!
So Su Jin had no choice but to lean closer and whisper: "Commander, the seventh princess is up there."
Xu Ting glanced upstairs, and sure enough, he saw a naturally regal woman leaning against the window.
Xu Ting immediately understood that when Su Jin was young, she was chosen to be the companion of Yan Yunshu, the Seventh Emperor's daughter born by the Empress. No wonder Su Jin invited her for the Seventh Emperor's daughter.
But when Gui saw it, Xu Ting still said, "I won't go."
Su Jin was anxious and had no choice but to ask, "Hey, why don't you go?"
"The abrupt beauty."
Xu Ting dropped the four words, and led Du Siyin to leave.
Su Jin looked at Du Siyin next to Xu Ting, feeling a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed to apologize.
Du Siyin is an innocent son, it is in accordance with the rules to come out to see Xu Ting on Qixi Festival, but it is not in accordance with the etiquette to go up to Lin Jianglou to meet other nieces.
Only those elegant prostitutes in the brothel will accompany the benefactor to meet people everywhere.
If it was another woman, a feminist woman, she would definitely consider going to the appointment first, at most she would send her male companion back to the carriage first, but Xu Ting directly rejected the other party.
Du Siyin hid the smile on the corner of his mouth, the words abrupt and beautiful, for some reason, fell directly into his heart.
Being rejected, Su Jin had no choice but to go up and sue the seventh princess. When hearing Xu Ting's reason for rejection, Yan Yunshu was not only not angry, but wanted to make friends with Xu Ting even more.
What kind of woman is Xu Ting, the future Zhenbei King? Yan Yunshu knocked on the window frame playfully.
She is different from her eldest sister or the fourth princess Yan Yuntong, she will not compete for that position, she wants to make friends with Xu Ting because she is purely interested in Xu Ting.
The curfew in the capital is at two o'clock and three o'clock. After seeing the river lanterns, it was almost Hai hour, and it was time to send Du Siyin back to Du's mansion.
Outside Twelfth Bridge Street, Chan'er was standing beside her family's carriage, pacing non-stop.
"Young Master, why haven't you come back? It's almost curfew."
Lu Tang leaned beside her expressionlessly.
Chan'er couldn't help shouting to Lvtang, "Where did your family daughter take my young master, what if I can't make it in time?"
Lutang: "A woman in the world has her own discretion."
Sure enough, Xu Ting and Du Siyin came out from Twelfth Bridge Street, Chan'er called "Young Master" and ran over, helped Du Siyin, and then secretly glanced at Xu Ting.
Xu Ting took advantage of the situation and let go of Du Siyin's hand.
Chan'er helped Du Siyin into the carriage, but Du Siyin hesitated for a moment, feeling reluctant, before getting into the carriage, he still looked back at Xu Ting.
"Goodbye, daughter." After saying that, Du Siyin got into the carriage.
Originally, Xu Ting planned to send Du Siyin to the carriage to complete the task, but at this glance, Xu Ting grabbed the reins of the carriage.
When she realized it, she couldn't help but laugh, she never thought that she would still be bewitched by beauty.
"Shi, Shi daughter?" the coachman asked in fear
"Come down, this daughter-in-law will personally send Mr. Du back."
The author has something to say: After meeting this time, it will be the wedding night!
