As a result, everyone looked at Liu Zhiheng, waiting for her to come up with a question, and also waiting to see Liu Zhiheng's joke. It was not difficult to come up with a correct answer, but they were afraid that it would be irrelevant or tacky.
Down below, Chuncao and his younger brother were also very nervous. Liu Zhisheng prayed underground for his sister Wenquxing to be possessed. Chun Cao and Princess Anle glared at each other from below.
Liu Zhiheng is not the kind of person who is timid. Now that he has reached this point, he must not be pretentious anymore. But she is a science student!
In fact, she also remembered a few eternal absolutes, and she could also find ones related to lanterns and the Yuan Festival, but she really didn't want to be a copycat, and she didn't want to use other people's absolutes to add glory to herself.
She tried to think of one on her own, but at the moment Liu Zhiheng could only think of a funny couplet she had seen on the Internet: It is not easy to pluck hair out. So, Liu Zhiheng glanced at Xie Tinglan, then at Jiang Liuyun, and slowly and tentatively said, "Then I'll make one. If it's not good, don't laugh at me."
Jiang Liuyun smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, girl, you'll be fine."
Liu Zhiheng walked aside, picked up a pen, and wrote the first couplet in a flying voice: "Xie Tinglan Pingxie Tinglan."
The referee held up the couplet. Everyone looked at the couplet with bewildered expressions. Everyone except Xie Tinglan looked confused.
Someone asked below: "What does Xie Tinglan mean?"
Liu Zhiheng pointed at Xie Tinglan opposite and said, "He is Xie Tinglan.
Liu Zhiheng asked the referee again, "Isn't this a foul?"
The referee smiled and said: "No foul"
The referee registered the names of everyone and told everyone: "This young master is indeed called Xie Tinglan. The exact title of this couplet is related to this lantern riddle party."
Hehe, Liu Zhiheng smiled, why doesn't it be relevant to use the contestant's name to write a question?
Princess Anle on the side looked at Xie Tinglan: "Is this the young master's name?"
Xie Tinglan nodded with a complicated expression.
Everyone below was smacking the couplet, and they all felt that it looked ordinary at first glance, but when they thought about it carefully, they found it was indeed meaningful and interesting, but it was a bit troublesome to match it.
The referee looked at Xie Tinglan again and said, "Please two of you, please read the second couplet."
Xie Tinglan also didn't expect that Liu Zhiheng would come up with such a couplet, and he was a little confused for a moment. This couplet must use people's names, but it's not just a random name that can fit the structure. It has to be related to the people at the lantern festival. He couldn't make up a name, could he?
Anle over there is also confused, can it still be like this? Anle wanted to answer the question, but when she opened her mouth, Chuncao saw her, and Chuncao led the people below to make a fuss.
"Who said it just now? One person can answer one by one without reminding me! I have to ask this young master to answer! Why, you want to commit a foul!"
Anle was so angry that she could only hold back the words that came to her lips.
When the time was up, Xie Tinglan on the other side did not answer.
The chief judge asked Liu Zhiheng: "Excuse me, girl, do you have a second couplet?"
"certainly!"
Jiang Liuyun stepped forward and wrote eloquently: Jiang Liuyun intercepts Jiang Liuyun. Then he bowed to Princess Anle opposite and said, "I am Jiang Liuyun."
Anle turned away with a cold expression, feeling a little aggrieved.
She knew how to answer this couplet because she knew Jiang Liuyun's name. The difficulty of this question was to find a suitable name.
It was actually not difficult for the woman opposite to ask this question, and it was even embarrassing, but it happened that she was not the one to answer this round, and Mr. Xie next to him didn't know the name of the person opposite.
"Indeed, this couplet is wonderful." The referee looked at the people on the stage and said: "I think Mr. Xie and Mr. Jiang have good looks. They will definitely be famous in the imperial examination and become famous all over the world in the future. When the time comes, this couplet will be spread out. It’s quite a story.”
Finally, under the insistence of the referee, Liu Zhiheng and Jiang Liuyun won the colorful jade Guanyin. Xie Tinglan glanced at Liu Zhiheng with a complicated expression, and left with Anle.
Jiang Liuyun was naturally not lacking in these things, so he directly gave the Jade Guanyin to Liu Zhiheng. Liu Zhiheng gave the Jade Guanyin to his younger brother as soon as he got off the stage. The younger brother hugged the Jade Guanyin so happily that his little nose almost turned up to the sky.
Zhu Cao and Liu Zhisheng kept praising their sister for being great. The four of them were chatting and laughing. Jiang Liuyun noticed Anle not far away and said to Liu Zhiheng, "Girl, wait a minute. I'm going to say hello to my old friend."
Jiang Liuyun went to find Princess Anle. Xie Tinglan saw Liu Zhiheng here and planned to squeeze over to talk to her. Liu Zhiheng didn't wait for him, so he took his brother and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and many exclamations came from the crowd.
There was a huge crowd and everyone was squeezed apart. Liu Zhiheng suddenly lost sight of Chuncao and his younger brother.
There were waves of exclamations coming from behind, and Liu Zhiheng looked curiously in the direction where everyone was exclaiming, and saw that at some point, sky lanterns were rising all over the sky.
Countless sky lanterns rose up, grand and gorgeous, like stars, overflowing with light. Everyone looked up and watched the sky lanterns rising slowly. Everyone held their breath, and a kind of pious joy spread among the crowd.
Liu Zhiheng was also struck by the splendor of this moment.
She also followed everyone else's example, clasping her hands together, closing her eyes, and silently making a wish in her heart.
…
On the city wall, Duan Wujiu stood at the highest point of the city and looked up at the sky lanterns filling the sky.
A little light lit up his deep eyes.
Ziyang looked at his master and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, please go down and take a walk. It's enough for us to check the city defense. Isn't Miss Liu down there too?"
"What does her being down there have to do with my king not being able to go down there?"
"You specially lit up the lights all over the city just for people to see?" Ziyang Dou was worried for his master, "If you don't tell Miss Liu, how will she know that you lit them for her? She thought it was for the lantern festival. As for the program, aren’t you working hard in vain?”
"It doesn't matter whether she knows or not."
"Miss Liu didn't know that the master lit the lamp, and she didn't even know who to thank."
"It doesn't matter who she's thanking."
"Then what's important?"
Duan Wujiu looked at the people running around the city. He didn't know where Liu Zhiheng was standing at the moment, but she must be among the crowd.
Duan Wujiu said in a very soft voice: "She saw that it was very important."
Among the turbulent crowd, Liu Zhiheng looked up and watched the Kongming Lantern fly away little by little and disappear into the night sky. He felt melancholy for a moment in his heart, as if all the beautiful things in the world do not last long, and their splendor only lasts for a moment.
Just when Liu Zhiheng was about to look back to look for his younger brother and Chun Cao, another explosion sound came from the distance.
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, as gorgeous as a goddess scattering flowers. People stopped one after another and looked up at the sky, cheering and admiring.
Liu Zhiheng stopped again. Whether it was because she was moved by the beautiful scenery at this moment, or because she felt the excitement and happiness of the crowd, she even had tears in her eyes...
The fireworks lasted for a full hour before they ended. By the time the fireworks were over, the lantern festival was almost over.
Liu Zhiheng, his brother, and Weeding were completely separated, but they had agreed before that if they were separated, they would meet directly back at the restaurant. Liu Zhiheng could only walk to the restaurant alone.
It's just that the restaurant is at the other end of Pingzhou City. Liu Zhiheng could only walk back slowly. As he walked, it started to snow. It was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This snow should be the last snow of the year. .
When Liu Zhiheng looked up at the snow, a carriage stopped in front of her.
The person driving the carriage was Ziyang, and then someone opened the curtain. Duan Wujiu smiled and said to Liu Zhiheng, "Is it my honor to give Miss Liu a ride?"
