"This must be Miss Yan Qi! People say that Miss Qi has wonderful hands and magical powers! I saw her today, and her appearance is indeed extraordinary! I am truly lucky!"
At a glance, Yuan Li saw a pretty young girl standing next to Li Mobai. Seeing that her face was very beautiful, but her expression was extremely cold, she greeted her.
"The yamen corpse talker, why should a little girl care? The old man is overly praised!" Yan Qi returned the greeting calmly.
"The seventh girl is too modest! She will test her relatives through their bones, and the seventh girl will become famous in Dongping! How could I not know!"
After waiting on the boat, Li Mobai also walked to the bow, holding on to the side of the boat with Yan Qi, admiring the sparkling lake water.
"Look, there are many fish, come and eat!"
Li Hu and others threw the fish food into the lake, and saw all kinds of beautiful fish surrounding them, competing for food.
Mr. Li is old and gets tired after standing for a while.
He went up to the second floor of the boat and sat there drinking alone, watching the young people laughing and playing.
In his opinion, his son Li Hu's whole person seemed to have changed since he was with Li Mobai and the others. He finally stopped messing around with those dandy boys.
Mr. Li was finally relieved.
"Master Li, Miss Seven, come and have a bar!"
Member Li shouted from above.
Li Hu also said: "Let's go and have a drink! Let's leave this fish food to the fish!"
After saying that, he threw all the fish food left in his hand into the lake.
Everyone went up to the second floor of the painting boat, where the view was even wider and the beautiful scenery of the lake was unobstructed.
Everyone sat together and enjoyed the delicious food. Member Li also repeatedly encouraged people to drink, and everyone drank happily.
This wine is not strong and has a smooth and mellow taste. Women can also drink it. What's more, Yan Qi is not as weak as a woman in a boudoir.
"Is Lord Li Mobai here?"
While everyone was drinking and drinking, they saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old walking out of the Huafang Cabinet. She had a slim waist, pretty shoulders, a slender figure, a pair of charming big eyes, and an extremely beautiful appearance.
More than a dozen maids came out with the girl in their arms, arriving before anyone could reach her.
This is an extremely beautiful girl, as beautiful as the dewdrops in the morning, people can't bear to touch for fear of disappearing.
Black hair fell like a waterfall, falling quietly on her shoulders, like a black river shining in the moonlight.
Her skin was as white as snow, pure and flawless.
Intelligence, beauty, wealth, as long as a woman possesses any of these, she will be the light of the bright moon.
At this moment, Li Feiyan was a bright moon surrounded by stars.
"Feiyan, don't be rude! Come and see Mr. Li!"
Everyone was startled when they heard the sound. Li Mobai was about to reply when he saw Officer Li drinking the woman to stop.
"The girl was taking a break in the cabinet just now. I didn't know Master Li was coming, so I missed my visit!" The girl saluted Li Mobai.
But I heard Mr. Li say: "This is my little girl Feiyan! She has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child! I hope Mr. Li will not blame me for my rudeness just now!"
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Li! It's okay!"
Li Mobai just smiled slightly.
"People's women have always heard that Mr. Li is smart, smart and knowledgeable. But seeing is believing and hearing is false? People's women are not talented, but they also read poetry and books. Today I will give a question to test Mr. Li. How about it? I hope Mr. Li Don’t hesitate to teach me!”
When Li Feiyan saw that Li Mobai was only talking to her father and completely ignored her, she felt angry and ridiculed him with words.
There is no one with ears in Dongping County who has not heard the name "Li Qingtian" Li Mobai; there is no one with eyes in Dongping County who does not want to take a look at Li Mobai's elegant style.
But Li Mobai just smiled slightly, which seemed arrogant to the arrogant girl.
"Feiyan, don't be rude! Mr. Li is very knowledgeable, how can you do something in front of others?" Li said angrily.
Everyone was drunk at this time. Before Li Mobai could answer, several people in the yamen could no longer hold back and were the first to get excited.
"You come up with the questions. My lord is very talented and there is nothing that can stump him!"
"Yes, accept the challenge, my lord!"
"Question! Question! Question!"
For a moment everyone started making noises.
Li Mobai glanced at Yan Qi at this time and saw that she had drank a glass of wine. Her face was still surprisingly calm, and there seemed to be no change.
This is Yan Qi.
Yan Qi is as cold as water and calm!
Li Mobai said: "It doesn't matter what the question is! If I can answer it, what if I can't?"
Li Feiyan said: "If you can answer it, it proves that you are indeed talented! If you can't answer it, it proves that you only have a false reputation and no real talent!"
"Sister, why do you speak to my master like this?" Li Hu also stopped his sister Feiyan at this time.
"Brother, I just want to see if he is qualified to be your master?" Li Feiyan started acting coquettishly in front of his brother.
Li Mobai was also a little drunk at this time, so he said with the help of wine: "Okay, I will accept your challenge! You tell me the topic."
Li Feiyan smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to worry! Since Mr. Li is an honored guest, you shouldn't neglect him! It won't be too late to answer questions after Mr. Li has had enough wine and food!"
What she meant was to sarcastically: Are you a loser?
Li Mobai naturally heard the meaning behind his words!
He suddenly stood up, smiled slightly and said, "I'm full now!"
Li Feiyan's eyes flashed and she said sweetly: "Master Li, why do you say you're full as soon as you see me?"
Li Mobai smiled and said: "Because you are cuter than a hoof!"
Li Feiyan smiled when she heard this. She had just thought of a wonderful topic.
Although it was Li Mobai who took the test this time, as the question maker, she also needed to give good questions.
If the questions are boring or too simple, it will inevitably be looked down upon.
Li Feiyan said: "I have already thought of the title, so I will take the poem "Farewell to Xin Jian at the Furong Tower" written by Wang Changling, a talented man from the Tang Dynasty, as the title: When the cold rain comes on the river at night, I will see off the guest Chu Shangu in the morning. Relatives and friends in Luoyang are like each other. Ask, a heart of ice is in a jade pot."
"I took this poem as a clue and hid three purses in three places on the boat. The time limit is one stick of incense. If you can find it, you win!"
After hearing this, the little goat said: "This question is too difficult! The boat is so big, how can it be possible to find a small purse hidden in it?"
Wang Erhu is still a little optimistic: "Isn't there a poem as a clue? It's not like finding a needle in a haystack!"
But he immediately became suspicious: "There are four lines of poetry, but there are only three in my wallet! Which line of poetry is not counted?"
Li Mobai said loudly: "You two don't need to say much! Let's ask Miss Li to start now!"
Li Feiyan first asked Li Mobai to take a look at the three purses she was going to hide. They were all embroidered with lotus patterns. They were of fine workmanship. They were all of top quality, and none of them were the same.
Then Li Feiyan's maid covered Li Mobai's eyes with a piece of cloth.
Li Feiyan took the purse and went to hide it, and everyone followed to see it.
When Li Feiyan hid the purse, she also specifically told anyone who saw it not to give Li Mobai a hint, otherwise the question would be invalid.
It didn't take long for the three purses to be hidden. Li Feiyan took off the strip of cloth for Li Mobai and asked him to start searching.
And a stick of incense was lit as a timer.
It is really not easy to find three small purses in such a huge boat.
For a moment, Li Mobai also felt a little embarrassed.
The promise I made just now with the help of wine was too happy.
Obviously Li Feiyan won't let him find his wallet easily!
He almost regretted taking this question.
Li Mobai did not get up and look for it directly, but thought about this poem carefully:
Cold rain pours across the river into Wu at night,
I see off my guests in the Ming Dynasty.
Relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other,
A heart of ice is in a jade pot.
This poem was written by Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Mobai is naturally familiar with it.
But he never expected that this poem could become a title!
After a little thought, Li Mobai got the first clue, which was the last line of the poem: "A heart of ice is in a jade pot."
This sentence is very obvious, there must be a purse hidden in the jade pot!
After thinking of this clue, Li Mobai began to search in the boat, and finally found a purse embroidered with lotus flowers in a jade pot for ice tea.
"Found it! Found it!"
The onlookers were very excited when they saw that Li Mobai found the first purse in an instant.
But Li Feiyan was not in a hurry: "This first purse is a free gift from me! It's not surprising that anyone can find it!"
What Li Feiyan said is true. This poem is indeed too obvious. It is not difficult to find the first purse.
This second wallet is really hard to find.
As for the third purse, Li Feiyan completely believed that Li Mobai would never be able to find it!
