Tang riddles

"The spring is late, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, the Cang Geng is crying, and the picking is Qiqi." In the distance, a melodious singing sound came. Yin Ziji looked up and saw that pure white wandering among the flowers, as graceful as a butterfly .

Li Jinyue stopped and was standing by the side of the road watching from a distance. After a while, she turned around and looked at Yin Ziji who was at the end.Yin Ziji caught up with her a few steps and smiled at her.

"Master, thank you very much today." Yin Ziji said.

"Why don't you say thank you? If you and I know each other well, we don't need to say thank you." She paused, looked at Yin Ziji and said, "Ziji, go to Ruohan to explain, apologize seriously, and clear up the misunderstanding. It's all over. Ruohan is not someone who cares about every detail, and her kindness and kindness to me will definitely not favor you."

Yin Ziji nodded vigorously, then sat down cross-legged by the roadside, untied the bundle, and the pile of colorful wooden blocks scattered out.

"What is this?" Li Jinyue asked.

"Hey, I'll find out in a while." Xiao Akashi made a fool of himself, and his subordinates quickly joined these wooden pieces together.

There are delicate snap-fitting parts between these wooden blocks. When two wooden blocks are spliced ​​together, they only need to be snapped together, and they will be firmly stuck with a "click".The whole process of Yin Ziji putting together the wooden blocks gave off an indescribable feeling, wonderful, wise, delicate, and flowing. Li Jinyue was fascinated by it, thinking of Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse in the Three Kingdoms, it was probably nothing more than that.

Soon, a wooden kite was spliced ​​together, and the volume of the wooden kite was equal to the size of an ordinary kite.After putting together one wooden kite, there were still many pieces of wood left, and Yin Ziji put together another two wooden kites in succession.There are three wooden kites, each of which has a gorgeous color, which is very beautiful to look at.

"Did you make this wooden kite?" At this moment, a clear and clear voice suddenly sounded beside him.Yin Ziji and Li Jinyue looked back, only to realize that Zhang Ruohan had returned at some time, standing beside them, staring at the three wooden kites intently, with curiosity in his eyes.

Yin Ziji shook his head and said:

"It's not all done by me, I painted the colors on it, I made the head and tail of the wooden kite, and my father and Uncle Ben helped me do the rest."

"It's amazing." Even so, Zhang Ruohan still praised him sincerely.

Little Chishi blushed a little, she stood up from the ground, handed two of the wooden kites to Zhang Ruohan and Li Jinyue respectively, and said:

"This is for you."

Li Jinyue took the wooden yuan, looked at it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help saying:

"You have been ordering for a long time, and you don't sleep at night."

"It's not that I don't sleep, it's just that I didn't sleep much last night. If I don't sleep, the nanny will go crazy. She's really annoying." Yin Ziji rubbed his nose and said.

This girl is so upright that Li Jinyue can't laugh or cry.

Zhang Ruohan took the wooden kite and observed its structure carefully, then asked:

"Can this wooden kite fly?"

"Yes!" Yin Ziji hurriedly said, and then said, "Look, there is a grid under this that can be opened, and there is a coil inside. Take this out, let go of a section of the rope, and then... Hey!" While explaining, she While throwing the wooden kite into the air, the wooden kite's wings stretched out in the wind and flew up, but Yin Ziji didn't run away, but kept loosening the coil in his hand and letting go of the long line, the wooden kite flew more and more. Far away, flying higher and higher, and soon became a small dot in the blue sky.

"It doesn't seem to be the same as releasing paper kites." Li Jinyue raised her head and set up an awning to look into the distance.

"It's not the same, hehe, it's the complete opposite. The wooden kite made by my father can fly very far, and the rope is just to pull it back. Unlike the paper kite, which has to be dragged by the wind to release it. My father Some wooden kites don’t have ropes, so they can go wherever they go.” Yin Ziji explained with a little complacency.

"Hey!" As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Ruohan beside her released the wooden kite according to her method.

"Oh! It's about to fall!" But Zhang Ruohan's wooden kite was not like Yin Ziji's, it soared up as soon as it was released, and it flew tremblingly, and it was about to fall to the ground.

"Quick! Loosen the string, hey, you're pulling too tight, relax, relax." Yin Ziji hurried to help her, holding his coil with one hand and her hand with the other, leading her to guide the wooden kite.

"Haha, it's flying!" Zhang Ruohan said happily, and Wu Ya was also clapping and jumping excitedly beside him.

"Amazing." Yin Ziji said.

"Well, amazing!" Zhang Ruohan laughed.

Li Jinyue also couldn't wait to release the wooden kite, and the three children immediately dragged the wooden kite to shuttle through the flower fields, having a great time playing.

Tired of playing, it's time for lunch.The servants built a shed on the flat grass, laid out mats, and served delicious food. The three children went to the clear water to wash their hands, and rushed back for lunch.

The three of them were starving, and they ate extraordinarily sweetly. In the first half of the lunch, no one said a word.Yin Ziji swallowed a mouthful of goat's milk, sighed happily, and finally said the first sentence.She filled her cup with goat milk, then picked up the jade cup, and solemnly said to Zhang Ruohan:

"Sister Ruohan, Ziji is ignorant and has done a lot of wrong things, it's Ziji's fault. I'm going to apologize to sister Ruohan!" After speaking, he drank the goat milk in the cup.

Zhang Ruohan laughed out loud, and said:

"How can you learn to behave like that quack?"

Yin Ziji scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Master Lu taught me."

Zhang Ruohan also filled her jade cup with goat's milk, picked it up, and said:

"Sister Ziji don't need to feel guilty, who hasn't made a mistake yet. Ruohan doesn't remember what wrong her sister has done. After drinking this cup, we are good friends." After finishing speaking, she covered the jade cup with her sleeve and put After drinking all the goat milk, his posture was much more elegant than Yin Ziji's.

"Okay! After drinking, we will be good friends." Li Jinyue seemed to be admired by the pride of the two, so she couldn't help but pour a cup of goat's milk and drank it down.

"Let's stop calling by big names, let's just call in small characters. Just like me and my sister, Qin Nu, so closer." Yin Ziji suggested.

"Okay, I'm a small character lotus maid." Zhang Ruohan said.

"Lotus Maid... Sister Lian Maid." Yin Ziji shouted.

Zhang Ruohan asked strangely: "Why are you older sister today and younger sister short? I didn't see you calling me older sister before."

Yin Ziji blushed again, and said: "My father said, you have to be sweet to a girl to be likable."

"Aren't you a girl too, Mr. Chang Heng is really a strange person." Zhang Ruohan said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Mr. Chang Heng is really amazing. Know the skills of these mechanism carpenters."

"That's right! My father is the most powerful person in the world!" Speaking of her father, Xiao Chishi was full of pride.

"Oh, then I don't agree. My father is the most powerful person in the world." Zhang Ruohan teased her deliberately.

As expected, Xiao Chishi blushed anxiously, but she was probably afraid of Zhang Ruohan, so she didn't dare to utter a word of rebuttal after holding back for a long time, and she was discouraged after a long time:

"Well, your dad is a little bit better than my dad, only a little bit."

Dad, I'm sorry for you.

Li Jinyue thought that she was going to say something earth-shattering, but suddenly she uttered such a sentence, and spouted the tea in her mouth with a "poof", spraying red hair all over her head and face.Zhang Ruohan laughed so hard that he was extremely happy.

"Hahaha, you...you are too spineless, hahahaha!" Li Jinyue laughed so hard that her face turned red.

Xiao Akashi wiped her face with a dejected expression.

"My father is the best! Your father is not as good as mine!" Li Jinyue said domineeringly.

"Didn't King Linzi go to Luzhou?" Yin Ziji asked innocently.

Zhang Ruohan hastily pinched her, the child was really outspoken.

Yin Ziji was pinched, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said. He immediately pursed his lips and looked at Li Jinyue nervously.

Li Jinyue's eyes darkened, she shook her head, and said:

"Father, he, alas...Nowadays Webster's chaos in the court, the saint is in danger, and the royal family's son Xiaoxiao is traveling far away. My father was demoted as a prince and kicked out of Chang'an. Only me and my mother, because there is an emperor I was able to keep the last legacy. I don’t know when my father will return, and my mother is anxious every day, and I also..."

Li Longji, the king of Linzi, was named the king of Chu for the first time. He was a first-rank prince.There was an accident this year, because Shangfang Supervisor Pei Gang and Internal Attendant Fan Yunxian privately visited the emperor's heir, Li Jinyue's grandfather, Prime Minister Li Dan.After Emperor Wu knew about it, he killed the two of them, and strictly forbade Li Jinyue's grandfather from receiving ministers. Li Longji's brothers and his second uncle Li Xian's three sons entered the cabinet again, and they were all confined in the palace, and they did not go out of the court for more than ten years.Li Longji was confined for seven years, and he was not able to leave the cabinet until he was 14 years old.

When Li Jinyue was born, it was during Emperor Wu's reign in Chang'an. At that time, Emperor Wu was very old. After Li Jinyue was born, his grandfather Li Dan hugged him to Emperor Wu.The Emperor Wu liked her very much. Regardless of the etiquette and dignity, he made an exception to make Li Jinyue the princess, and left a sentence: "This girl is quite like me."Hence the spectacle that fathers and daughters have equal title levels.I don't know if it's because of this reason, but Li Longji never liked his eldest daughter, and he didn't even look at her directly. Since she was a child, Li Jinyue lived as if she didn't have a father.

Now, she said that her father was "the most powerful person". Zhang Ruohan, who knew the inside story, felt sour and a little uncomfortable.

"Don't mention this, Ziji, you haven't told us what your small print is?" Li Jinyue changed the subject.

Yin Ziji was called by name suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said:

"My small print is red."

"Red silk? What red, what silk?" Li Jinyue didn't understand for a while.

"Chi is the red of red, and silk is the thread of the rope."

"Red rope? What a strange small character." Zhang Ruohan tilted her head and asked in doubt.

"Well, it's really strange." Yin Ziji nodded, "I heard from my father that when I was born before I was named, I was very interested in red things. Whenever I saw red things, I would catch them. So Originally, my baby name was Chinu. Later, when I was in the Zhou Dynasty (that is, catching Zhou), I didn’t choose anything, I just grabbed a ball of red rope and had a lot of fun, so I took the small character ‘Chishi’ .”

Li Jinyue and Zhang Ruohan suddenly realized that this is how the small characters came from.

"Chishi, Chishi, it's quite easy to read." Zhang Ruohan commented.

"Hey." Yin Ziji smiled sheepishly.

"Why do you like red ropes? Do you like them now?" Li Jinyue asked her.

Yin Ziji excitedly said: "I like it. I like weaving red rope the most, and I also like all kinds of things that are red and ocher. I am very good at turning flower ropes. I didn't bring them out this time. I will ask you to play with them next time."

Li Jinyue was wondering what a flower rope was, but she didn't seem to have played it before.Suddenly Zhang Ruohan said:

"Princess, it's your turn, what's your small print name?"

Li Jinyue was at a loss for words, faltering and hawing, unable to speak.

"What's the matter? Princess, don't you want to tell me? I told Sister Lianmai's small print, it would be too unfair if you didn't tell me." Yin Ziji grabbed her hand and said.

"It's not... I... My fine print is not nice."

"Small characters are not pleasant to listen to. Tell me, I won't laugh at you." Xiao Akashi was very sincere.

"I……"

"Princess, it's you who said, the three of us are good friends, you can't treat them specially." Zhang Ruohan also said.

"Okay, okay, let me say." Li Jinyue was forced to be helpless, her pretty face blushed up to her ears, and after a long while, she said quickly like a mosquito moaning:

"My small characters... Maomao."

Yin Ziji: "Maomao?"

Zhang Ruohan: "Maomao?"

"No! It's Maomao, Zichou Yinmao's Mao." Li Jinyue explained.

Yin Ziji's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she desperately blocked her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.But Zhang Ruohan's words made her completely defeated, and she burst out laughing.

"Princess, so you are a little rabbit, so cute, poof." When Zhang Ruohan said this, he deliberately maintained an innocent and cute tone, creating an indescribably funny effect. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help it also laughed.

"Pfft ha ha ha..." Yin Ziji rolled over while covering his stomach.

Li Jinyue's complexion was purple, and the corners of her mouth twitched, feeling ashamed.
