Chapter 217: Drink Soup
There is a lot of traffic in front of the Jade Mansion, for the people in the Jade Mansion, this day is a special day, more like a festival, watching the lively people crowded, almost surrounding the Jade Mansion, of course, Gongsun Yunliang and others are also mixed in the crowd.
In fact, the beach jade gate banquet is not very far from the jade mansion, the reason why the big boat is used is that it can show its identity, and second, it can be quieter, otherwise a large group of people will be chaotic, and it will not be convenient to choose a son-in-law.
Although it was already evening, the place was already brightly lit, shining like day, and the common people gathered here, but Yu Qilin and Yu Jiao'er and the ten chosen people still did not show up.
After about a pillar of incense, the sound of footsteps came not far away, people looked back, the jade unicorn rode a brown horse, Yucheng pulled the reins on the side, and behind him was a white gauze sedan chair carried by eight people, and a delicate beauty was sitting in it was Yu Jiaoer.
Walking through the crowd and stepping into the Jade Mansion, followed by a series of sedan chairs, but this kind of sedan chair is smaller, carried by four people, and each sedan chair is covered with a big red cloth, a bit like the bride's sedan chair. People talked a lot, feeling that this jade unicorn was not marrying a daughter, but marrying a son-in-law, the kind that intervened in the door.
According to the order, Lang Li sat in the last sedan chair, everyone else was smiling, only he had a sad face, holding his chin on his knees, and went on a blind date in such a daze. It is said that it is a good thing to go to the peach blossom luck, but I can't be happy at all, I hope I won't stand out among these ten people.
After all the sedan chairs entered the Jade Mansion, it was like entering a black hole, and there was no sound, waiting to see the lively people whispering, not knowing what the Jade Mansion would sell this time.
After a while, Yucheng walked out of it with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, thank you for your support to our Yumen banquet, thanks to everyone's blessings, my lord will pick out ten candidates for my Miss Jiao'er, these ten people will compete in the final competition, and finally win one person to accept the audit of my young lady, of course, this is all later, but you have also seen it, it is late today, after breakfast tomorrow, if you still want to see the excitement, our Jade Mansion is welcome at any time, That's all for today, thank you very much, thank you very much......"
Yucheng came out to say a few polite words, and the door of the house was closed, and people suddenly felt unhappy, and sometimes complained a few words, and then dispersed.
Gongsun Yunliang and his entourage also dispersed with the crowd and returned to their inn, but on the way, several people were also discussing the matter.
Lu Zixiao was the first to say: "Everyone, tell me, can Lang Li's kid be picked?" ”
Anyway, Gu Yingxue won't answer, her heart is sour, it's not a taste. But that doesn't mean everyone else is like her.
"I think it's about the same, although Lang Li doesn't want to participate, and being with so many handsome sons doesn't show what he has, but the innate temperament is still very attractive!" Qi Qing said coldly, and Shen Hanxin on the side couldn't help nodding, obviously she was very much in favor.
"I don't think it's possible, Brother Lang Li doesn't want to go, he will definitely not behave very well, and he may disrupt their jade banquet, so he may be driven out!" Linglong shook her little head, confident and confident.
The few of them argued, Gongsun Yunliang just smiled and didn't say anything, Xia Yulian looked at him meaningfully, her heart was like a mirror, she knew that Gongsun Yunliang must know what was going on!
Back at the inn, after a simple tidy-up, everyone returned to the room one after another, at this time Xia Yulian suddenly asked: "What do you think, if Lang Li is really chosen, how do you explain to Ruyan, how to explain to Chi Lian Wu!" ”
"Hey...... Let's talk about it then, anyway, it may not be a good choice, besides, the jade qilin knows a lot of things, it is difficult for you to let him tell you the truth, only this is appropriate! ”
Xia Yulian gave him a blank look, when he was young, he felt that he was quite a serious person, how did he become an old naughty boy when he got older......
At this time, the lights in the Jade Mansion were bright, and ten people were arranged in ten different rooms in a courtyard, each room was carefully decorated, very exquisite, and very comfortable.
Lang Li is not in the mood at all, he feels a little forced by others, anyway, he is not happy, he just doesn't want to wade into this troubled water!
The other nine rooms were different, they were full of anticipation, and some even chanted poems, deliberately showing off their elegance to attract the attention of others.
At this time, outside the gate of the courtyard, an elderly woman came to the courtyard with ten little girls who looked like shy and lovely maids, and whispered a few words to them, and then, each of the ten little girls dragged a tray in his hand, and put a bowl and a spoon on it, and walked into the ten rooms in turn.
It turned out that this was the soup that the eldest lady Yu Jiaoer personally cooked for these ten people, which could relieve the fatigue of the day.
The little maid is not very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, but the appearance is good, one of them came to Lang Li's house, knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed the door in, Lang Li was thinking about something, and suddenly came in and scared him, the little girl was also stunned, and then blushed, took a few steps forward and said: "The son has been working hard for days, and my young lady really can't bear it, so the osmanthus ginseng soup boiled for a few sons is to relieve the fatigue of the son!" With that, the little maid put the soup on the table, but had no intention of leaving.
Lang Li looked at it, how could he be in the mood to drink soup: "Put it here, I'll drink it later!" ”
The little maid was a little anxious: "Childe, my young lady ordered you to wrap it, you must let you drink it in person, otherwise I won't be able to pay it!" ”
Lang Li looked at the little maid, she was about to cry, and there was no need to embarrass her, so she picked up the spoon and took a sip
It's good to drink, but the soup doesn't taste as good as its name, and it doesn't taste anything but salty, so to speak, it's a bowl of brine with a beautiful color......
Burst...... Lang Li spit it out in one gulp: "Is your Yu family in the salt business, why is it so salty, take it away, you really can't drink it!" ”
The little maid was anxious: "Son, just drink it, otherwise I really won't be able to make a difference!" ”
"Girl, you also saw it, I drank it, but this soup is too unpalatable, I really can't drink it, if your young lady embarrasses you, you just say what I said, this soup is too unpalatable, I don't drink it, and she won't embarrass you!"
The little maid asked again and again, but Lang Li still didn't drink it, so in desperation, she had to bring the soup back again. However, Lang Li was suddenly happy, and let Yu Jiao'er know that I disliked the soup she made, and she might drive me away, so that I could leave here openly, thinking of this, I didn't have so much burden in my heart, and after a while, I fell asleep......
When I woke up in the morning, the sun was rising, and although the weather was not as good as yesterday, it was still sunny. There is breakfast on the table, and the washing water next to it has already been prepared, not to mention anything else, these details of Yufu are really good.
After Lang Li finished washing, he simply ate something, and didn't go out, just waited in the house, because he didn't know what to do, and he was not familiar with the terrain, so he simply didn't go out, but fortunately, there were a lot of books in the house, and it wouldn't be too boring.
After about half an hour, the door rang softly, and Yucheng pushed the door in: "Childe, please go to the courtyard for activities, we will go to the front yard in a while!" ”
Lang Li nodded, and as Yucheng went out, good guy, there are already many people in the yard, take a closer look, that is, those people yesterday.
The first one is the number one, the second is the number two, and so on, and the Lang Oak is the number ten.
Room 10 is next to No. 9, at this time No. 9 people are practicing boxing, there is a decent appearance, the strength is not outstanding, but the average thief is also embarrassed, seeing Lang Li come out, No. 9 stopped and came to Lang Li: "Hey! What's your name, friend! ”
Lang Li thought that he was not talking to himself, but later No. 9 asked again, and Lang Li knew: "Oh! My name is Ryoki! Lang Li did not use his real name, but took his own name apart.
"Ryogi? I haven't heard of it, what does the family do? Nine was a little disdainful, and his tone was no longer so kind.
"Uh...... My family grows food in the mountains! Lang Li really didn't know what to say, so he made up a random statement.
No. 9 nodded, and looked down on Lang Li even more: "My name is Geng Chunjing, my father is the history of the military state assassin, and he is also the head of the Changquan Gate!" Geng Chunjing was triumphant, and Lang Li also looked admiring.
Geng Chunjing has the bottom in his heart, with his family background, ordinary people can't refuse, and besides, the person in front of him is a mountain villager, it is basically impossible to get Yu Jiaoer's heart, and it is not good to have one less competitor.
At this time, Yucheng came over again, stood in the middle of the courtyard, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go to the front yard with me in order, the lord and the young lady will focus on you!" As he spoke, he straightened his clothes one by one and followed behind Yucheng excitedly.
As soon as you get to the front yard, you ...... Just like a bazaar, the courtyard of the Jade Mansion is also large, and a high platform is placed in the middle, surrounded by stone steps, facing the eaves of the Jade Mansion, and under the eaves is another smaller platform, Jade Qilin, Yu Jiaoer are sitting on it, but Yu Jiao'er is covered with a thin green veil on her head.
Around the courtyard, the walls were full of people, all of them were ordinary people watching the excitement, they must have known that there was a good show today, they came early, and the crowd was still mixed with Gongsun Yunliang and others.
Lang Li looked at the stage and thought that it was impossible to fight in the ring, but Yucheng's next words broke his thoughts, "Everyone, be quiet!" Our Jade Mansion officially held a Jade Gate Banquet today, of course, the participants are the ten people selected yesterday, all they have to do is to stand on the stage and relax their feelings, and then our Miss Jiao'er naturally has a judgment in her heart.
As the so-called both civil and military, both talent and appearance, both have to have a text, but also have to use force, therefore, the end of the text is a competition, two by two, no matter win or lose, our young lady and the master have their own judgment in their hearts......"
