Chapter 6: The Reception Banquet
Qingning has always gotten up early, after the necessary morning exercises, is to go into the kitchen to make light snacks for the family, Zhao Fu ate Qingning's snacks, the body is relaxed, and I didn't think much about it, I thought it was because Qingning came back, in fact, although Qingning did not learn the Great Dao Immortal Method, the small magic method, the Qingxin mantra is indeed handy, even if it is a snack, Qingning has long been accustomed to using spells to do it, and when doing it, recite some refreshing and reassuring mantras and the like. As a result, Qing Ning was halfway through the meal, and was dragged away by his mother.
"You are busy today, you can't be busy cooking anymore, and you don't need to go over to the kitchen at noon, you sit obediently and wait for them to finish serving you, you come out to see me, you want to meet those young ladies and sons seriously, look at it, what kind of person your sister is suitable for, pay attention to the conduct of those sons." Mother Zhao told Qing Ningdao.
"Got it, mother, what about me, my eyes are sharp, don't worry. "Qingning has a big face, everything looks like I'm here.
"Tinghua, go quickly, bring the red gauze skirt sent by the garment garden and put it on for the young lady. Tingqi, just give Miss a red lipstick. Mrs. Zhao left after a few words.
There were many handsome young men and girls under the stage in the back garden one after another, and a girl in a red dress could be vaguely seen walking towards this group of men and women.
"Sister, my mother said let me come to you. Qing Ning said this, and the corners of his eyes did not forget to sweep everyone.
"You came just in time, go and meet with me, your classmates in the future, these are the young ladies and sons of the family who are good friends with our family. Today you can remember a few count a few, anyway, there will be a chance to know in the future. Qingping said.
In fact, Qing Ning has memorized all the faces, but he doesn't know what they are called, cultivating the Tao, listening to the eight directions, and seeing the six roads, Qing Ning, the most basic one, can still do it, and can even judge the relationship between them from their words, and the names are seated.
At this time, a big drama was being staged on the stage, and the grandmothers were chatting and eating refreshments offstage. The young one can't help but feel bored, but fortunately, the backyard of the Zhao Mansion is very big, and Qingping has already placed a few guqins by a lake, even swords, piano flutes, and chess cases, and there are various tables with desserts along the way. These juniors, who have been trained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, have gathered here one after another, Qingning was pulled here by her sister, because she was watching the stage play, watching it too seriously, and she was not sensitive to the ode here, the sound of the piano at all. Qingping's heart is broken, why do you love to watch a play, you don't see that you are all here vassal and elegant, you came over, but my sister didn't even look here, so she had to go over to pull people.
As soon as Qingning arrived, he heard "Qingping, this is Qingning's sister, it's really a clever person." It was Song Jiayan who had just stopped the piano that spoke, but she happened to catch a glimpse of the jade pendant on Qingning's waist, how could it be so similar to Li Jianyuan, and in a blink of an eye, what jade pendant did Li Jianyuan have. Since she can find out that the one present is not careful, I am afraid that this little girl will have difficulties after going to the academy.
Qing Ning knows what the master said about entering the WTO, interacting with people, and doing what he likes, so he will not be bored to annoy people.
"It must be Sister Song, I heard my sister say that Sister Song likes the guqin the most, dignified and atmospheric, and it is really the case when I see it today. Qing Ning bowed.
"You're clever at guessing. Qingping said to his sister with relief.
"I don't know what Sister Qingning likes to practice? I heard that Sister Qingning's chess skills are good, but you have only been learning chess for a few years, I learned chess at the age of four, and now I am as old as you are, so I can't bully you, I don't know what else will you do?" said the young master with a sword.
"Sword, isn't what you have in your hand what I'm good at, when I was a child, I followed the master, I was ignorant and cried, the master coaxed me with a sword, Zhang Gongzi can't blame me for not participating in entertainment." "Qingning naturally can't give much good fruit to eat for this kind of person who has nothing to provoke.
Young Master Zhang then threw the sword to Qing Ning, who got up and started lightly, as light as a swallow, "Young Master Zhang, you can see how to play the sword." Saying that, Qing Ning was more vigorous, and he drove the sword to dance, the sword was sharp, the figure was chic, the red clothes were capable, and he turned around and rushed towards Young Master Zhang, and then the latter volley rotated in the air, changed the direction and led the body with the sword, and the body moved with the sword, extremely soft, and the red clothes fluttered.
"Okay, fast and slow can be so free. Qingning's sister is really unique. Young Master Zhang clapped his hands heartily, who could understand his sincere admiration for this little woman at that moment, he had an intuition, she said that knowing the sword was just to pay tribute to her own provocation, and her good at it must not be a sword. Such a beautiful person must be beautiful when he dances.
How did Qing Ning know that she was trying her best to return the sword that Young Master Zhang's provocation danced, and the shock was far more than her peers, but also those old women under the stage, with envious eyes, there really was a girl who lived so uninhibited and free and easy when she was young.
"What a strange woman, the red dress is extremely gorgeous, so that I can't take my eyes off the old lady, Mrs. Zhao is really blessed. Mrs. Zhang was a little sorry, so cute, her grandson had no chance, not only was she not as good as the little girl, but she was also slapped in the face.
A group of people talked and laughed, and several young ladies were full of envy in their eyes, but they didn't dare to speak again, if they made Qingning unhappy, they would probably be beaten. Qingning didn't know how much trouble she had solved because she chose the sword, of course, she definitely didn't expect these jealous young ladies to be so cowardly, we Qingning is a civilized person, how can it be said that you can do it, and the problem that can be solved with your mouth is absolutely not used force, and force is extremely tiring.
In this way, a group of people are elegant and elegantly use drumming to pass the wine at night, where the wine stops, that person has to choose to perform or answer questions or drink, maybe the drummer is the reason for Young Master Zhang, and it has been passed to Qingning several times, and Qingning has solved it with answering questions, so the wine has not been drunk. It's just that Young Master Zhang may be one of the few careless people, he didn't see Li Jianyuan's face stinky at all, and he was suffocated because of his face.
Qing Ning didn't look at Li Jianyuan thoughtfully, which made him even more aggrieved, Qing Ning thought about it for a day, and there was no suitable one for his sister after watching it all night, these people are too ordinary, not as good as the groom official he saw on the road a few days ago, that person's face is at least the best one he has seen so far. As for Li Jianyuan still being married to him, his mother would never consider giving his sister to him.
"Qing Ning is going to the academy tomorrow? Do you still take the exam? Or find a class by yourself, if you look for a class by yourself, come to our class A. If you don't understand, my sisters and brothers will answer your questions. Xing Yiqin, who just met today, said.
"Ah, there's still an exam, no one told me, do I need an exam?"
"Go ahead, it's good to go and see the questions, and you'll know where you stand in the next competition. If you are stupid and enter the class, it is also your creation, and I won't tell you because the scope of the test is too wide to save you for a while. Qingping said.
"I'm so unbearable, Brother Jianyuan, if I go to the Gui class, will I really be ashamed?" Qingning pointed at Li Jianyuan's name with a bad taste, mainly because he found that he was too unhappy, this person was too nervous, he didn't smile, and he pulled a face on his handsome face all day long, which also made people feel strange, so let's save him for the time being for the sake of his jade face.
"Well, it's very unbearable, the Gui class is all a few gentlemen, don't learn no skills, nothing can be done, eat the ancestors of the coffin of the guys, but you are not enough to enter the Gui class, don't you know how to sword, presumably riding and archery is similar, as long as you have a skill, you will not enter the Gui class. If you can enter Class A, it will naturally be good, and you can learn more, and Mr. is also the most prestigious in the college, even the best food and clothing. Li Jianyuan was very useful to Qingning calling his brother in public, and his mood improved a lot.
Everyone looked at the progress of the situation very clearly, what an obvious thing, Li Jianyuan, as the most talented and good-looking person in the academy, usually saw which girl he had seen, said so many things, and was so patient, I am afraid that the blind and the deaf can hear and see what they can see, and the Hou Mansion and the General's Mansion are going to get married.
