Chapter 14: Ding Finch Code
The study room was extremely quiet, and the sea of concentration produced by Dan Tai's house was swaying and slight mist gradually gathered into circles of faint fragrance clouds in the slightly dim room.
Kong Lianyi made a silent face, spreading her teeth and claws to pounce on her hands, trying to scatter the quiet and unique Mansanxiang Cloud.
Kong Ci has never moved his eyes to the tabletop paper since he was betting on the tabletop paper. The veil mask under the hat hangs like a quiet wave, and does not move at all. Only the delicate right hand that is so white that it is bloodless, even transparent, and the two knuckles of the middle finger and index finger are clearly and rhythmically tapped on the table of Gusu Jinsi Nanmu.
It shows that the owner is thinking hard.
"Rich, what do you think?"
After a while, the drooping and sank veil was light, and the voice of Kong Ci was filled with a hint of meditation and half bright excitement.
"I can't think of it."
Kong Lianyi had already obtained the question, so she couldn't help but peek at it. When she heard this, she suddenly felt like a deflated ball. She was defeated by her fangs and claws, and she squatted on the chair opposite her, with her elbows weakly on the table, and her two little hands held her tender chin, and said with frustration:
"Big brother is too bullying. I asked him to ask questions, and he asked, Lianyi, when you played Shuanglong Tongtian before, was it true that you loved playing candles since you were young? I naturally said yes. Then the older brother said, "Okay, let's give a question about candles. When I thought about it, I was full of joy and looked at it with a long look. I thought it would be as interesting and magical as Shuanglong Tongtian, but I didn't expect it to be this, so I was so disappointed!"
As he said that, his eyes rolled, his mouth pouted, his cheeks bulged, and he hummed, "Little cousin, do you think that the elder brother would make things difficult for us on purpose? I thought about it. Since this candle is 'extinguished if it is not blown', how can it be 'extinguished if it is not blown'? It is clearly inconsistent! Not to mention, what is the wingless flying? Do you have to force me to tie the candle to the bird's wings and light the candle. The bird is in pain and flutters away. What's the point?"
Puff.
Hearing her cute and silly and interestingly speaking, Kong Ci couldn't help but chuckled, and a clear hint of pleasure appeared in the soft voice, saying, "You really dare to think about it. Whether it is flying without wings, blowing out or not, it cannot be simply understood literally. I think Mr. Ning's question must consider the understanding of the flame characteristics of candles, and it needs to be supplemented by the corresponding conditions and environment. If, as you said, just start from the literal meaning, fly without wings, can tie the candle to the bird's wings and fly, then if you don't blow in front, just splash water, and if you don't blow out, just use a wooden board to block the wind... In this way, what's the point of this question?"
Kong Lianyi's eyes lit up, "Do you have already realized something, little cousin?"
"The first two questions need further verification and consideration, but this last question seems the most difficult, but in fact it is the easiest." Kong Ci's voice was bright and confident, "Liliyi, do you still remember the Kongming lantern I taught you to draw?"
"Kongming Lantern? Oh, I understand! Isn't it like changing the fuel in Kongming Lantern for a candle? Isn't this just flying without wings? Moreover, this is a hundred times better than tied to a bird's wings. I think the elder brother is very impressed." Kong Lianyi shouted and said happily.
"Well. This method uses the characteristics of candle flames to fit the meaning of Mr. Ning's question."
After hearing this, Kong Lianyi curled her lips and muttered unconsciously: "The words are as bad as the elder brother. They are a pair of terrible men and women monsters..." Just as she was muttering, she suddenly remembered the words that the elder brother was hard to tell when he came over at noon. She felt a little heart lit up and stopped talking.
"Riyi, what did you just say?" Kong Ci has a strong observation ability.
"No... nothing." Kong Lianyi stammered.
"I'm honest. My little earlobes are almost turning red." Kong Ci joked.
Kong Lianyi frowned and pursed her lips.
The girl's family is far precocious than a boy, and it's not like this when she can get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. So she doesn't know how to admire her stupidly. She feels a little uneasy and feels that if the elder brother really likes her cousin, this is actually not a simple thing. The things involved will be very complicated. It seems that the elder brother is not a child of a noble family...
Besides, even the famous family members, with the love that the Lord Uncle and the whole family have for their cousin, they must pass five levels and kill six generals and get rid of their skin...
So at this time, she suddenly wanted to hear what her cousin meant. If they were really in love, they would not be able to say that they would do their best to cheat and cheat. They would also have to help them.
I have to say that after reading too many love words, the little girl still has a romantic feeling of "the more difficult and hindered it, the more beautiful things you need."
Kong Lianyi made up her mind and first looked around alertly, then ran over and locked the door inside, and then came back. She bent down and moved the chair to Kong Ci, and sat upright. Qi Mo looked at Kong Ci without blinking, her little face was solemn, as if there was a huge secret about life and death that was about to be exclusively disclosed.
This strange behavior made Kong Ci stunned.
"That, cousin. Cute, my elder brother loves... I admire you."
Kong Lianyi's little face turned red, and she endured the shame and said "accurately" Ding Bao's meaning, and then stared at Kong Ci without blinking. The two sat very close together. Although the color of the sunken gauze hanging from the hat was dark, it was still transparent. When the distance was very close, they could still see the eyebrows, eyes and facial features clearly.
"Stop it. Kong Lianyi, you are a girl, what are you talking about? Are you ashamed?" Kong Ci exclaimed in surprise. In anger, he couldn't help but harshly tap Kong Lianyi's forehead with his fingers. Then he came back to his senses and was stunned, "Who, big brother... Mr. Ning?"
The moment he became even more ashamed and annoyed, the always soft voice became louder: "Kong Lianyi! If you read those messy books in the future, I will not tell your mother!"
"I'm serious!" Kong Lianyi tilted her head, avoiding her fingers that came again, and continued to sit up straight, with a bright look, and said, "What the big brother said in person just now, and my brother also heard it. The big brother not only admitted that he admired you, little cousin, but also used the game to ask me and my brother about your various preferences and habits... Moreover, he also wrote a poem, I think about it, what is the name Guanguan Jujiu, on the River Island, a beautiful lady, a gentleman's good friend..."
"Ah!" Kong Ci was a little restless in an instant, and shouted softly, stood up quickly, pushing Kong Lianyi out, "Go and go, don't talk nonsense here. My cousin suddenly remembered that there was still something important to do."
Kong Ci suddenly burst out with great strength. Kong Lianyi was stunned and found that he was already standing outside the study room. With a slam, the study room door was closed tightly.
The little head was a little messy in an instant. What is this? Is it acceptable or not? Is it because this matter is so big that my cousin and my elder brother want to hide it from me, and they secretly talk about the song... As soon as I thought of this, all kinds of interesting affectionate and romantic scenes in the book rushed up, and my little face turned red again. I clenched my fists hard and wrinkled my nose. Humph, I want to hide such fun things from me, don't think about it!
In the study, Kong Ci's expression was very strange. The feeling of panic that was caught off guard had disappeared, replaced by a novelty, curiosity, and a little bit of shame.
After all, she grew up so old, and she was known as the only daughter of "Holy Lord", and she was also a famous genius and crazy woman. In addition, she was surrounded by two masters who were among the top 100 lucky masters at any time. Since she was a child, no one had ever told her such bold and direct words, she didn't even dare to express her good feelings...
"The doves are singing in the river island, and the beautiful ladies are beautiful and gentlemen are good... You dare to recite such poems casually, so you, Ning Bao, who is bold and arrogant!"
Kong Ci said gritted his teeth, strangely, but there was no trace of real anger in his voice, but there was obvious appreciation and novelty. Suddenly, he thought of the previous two sentences, "Why should we cut the candle in the west window together, but talk about the night rain in Zhongnan?" Who is he looking forward to meeting with? Zhongnan, Zhongnan, why is Zhongnan born?
When I was listening to the poem, I felt that "Zhongnan" was a little abrupt. At this moment, combined with what my cousin Kong Lianyi said just now, I instantly realized in my heart that this poem was meant to be chanted to me...
The shaved waves were rosy, and Kong Ci suddenly felt a little flustered and irritated. He quickly corrected his mind, picked up the topic on the table, and looked at it carefully.
"Strange, it's obviously a similar question, why do you need to write it as a sequence that does not blow or extinguish, and does not blow or extinguish, and does not fly without wings?"
"Why do you think of the candle three questions, not the candle three words, or the candle three guesses?"
"Or, like the two previous lines of poetry, there are some deeper meanings hidden in this topic... related to me?"
"Strange, what exactly is it?"
So throughout the afternoon, until before going to bed, the smart Cong Ci girl was immersed in the path of actively exploring the "Ding Bao password" and gradually drifted away.
...
Ding Baozi didn't know that he had written three middle school physics experiments casually in the wind and snow. By chance, this Cong Ci girl was treated as a high-end topic containing some kind of hot confession for hard research, which seemed to have become the "Da Vinci code" of different time and space, otherwise she would have been drunk.
After the Little New Year, the days are getting faster and faster.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Ding Bao would use the "Ruyi Order", in the days that followed, Kong Lianyi surprisingly refused to come over. He only came with his brother Kong Lianshun to help Ding Bao paste couplets, window flowers, and set off firecrackers.
Ding Baoze is as always, immersed in the hardships of "heat" every day, and relaxes without a moment.
