Chapter 10: The Unexpected
At the end of the round of pitching, Chen Xueqing walked down in the admiring eyes of everyone, and didn't look at Lin Jue who was standing next to her, but just raised her chin, "Miss Lin Er, it's your turn." ”
She didn't play very well today, she only hit seven picks, but this kind of hit rate is more than enough to win Lin Jue.
Ignoring the eyes of Chen Xueqing and everyone, Lin Jue took the bamboo tube from the maidservant and slowly walked to the water's edge. Pitcher? With the foundation of her previous life, although she can't be said to be proficient, if she plays normally, she still has a little chance of winning. Thinking that the jewelry in the tray not far away was about to be owned by herself, Lin Jue couldn't help but rejoice.
It is true that Lin Mi dotes on her daughter, but the financial power of the Lin family's big house is in the hands of her stepmother Chen. In the hindrance of Lin Mi's face, although the Chen family did not dare to deduct more from Lin Jue's daily use, he would not take extra care. Take the usual monthly silver as an example, Chen has not given her a month on time, and the excuse is nothing more than the excuse that the government is short or the money is kept for her as a dowry in the future, not to mention jewelry, clothes and the like, except for the usual tailoring of the New Year's holidays, there is basically no clothing and accessories.
And her father, Lin Mi, was obsessed with studying the Five Elements Formation Technique, and he didn't pay much attention to the etiquette at home, let alone the affairs of the back house. The second lady of the original Lin family is rude on the surface, but her inner life is not very comfortable.
If you don't have money in your hands, you can't do anything. So just now, when Chen Xueqing pestered her to try the pitcher, Lin Jue took it into account, these high-ranking officials and young ladies, some of them are valuable things, since they are sent to the door, then she doesn't mind winning some things back, and then taking them to the pawn shop to exchange for a sum of money.
Lin Jue stood at the water's edge, holding a bamboo tube in one hand and a skewer in the other, and threw the first bamboo skewer in the eyes of everyone's "full of expectation".
Immediately, there was a sound of inhalation, and to everyone's surprise, the stick thrown by Lin Jue was firmly inserted into the mouth of the pot!
Chen Xueqing and Lord Miao on the side were also a little stunned, but the two of them were relieved immediately, and they were only the first to sign, it is estimated that it was "a blind cat touching a dead mouse", after that, Lin Jue did not have such good luck.
But what happened next made everyone stunned again, Lin Jue held a bamboo stick, and threw it more accurately than the other, and hit it seven times in one breath, seeing that she was about to throw the eighth bamboo stick, if she hit this time, then Chen Xueqing would lose. Even if you only hit one more time, it's a win.
Chen Xueqing's face was also full of nervousness, her fists were clenched in her sleeves, and she didn't know what kind of shit Lin Jue had stepped on, she was hit seven times in a row, if she was allowed to hit again this time, wouldn't she lose? How could she, possibly lose? And lost to the straw bale Lin Jue in front of him?
Everyone was in disbelief, and Lord Miao was even more frightened and speechless. Originally, whether Chen Xueqing won or lost had little to do with her, but this time she made a bet, the butterfly hairpin, but the gift given to her by the Sixth Emperor Brother, is it really going to be given away? Thinking of this, Lord Miao looked at Chen Xueqing with more blame in his eyes, and sure enough, she couldn't be relied on, didn't she say that she was the first in the capital? How can even a mere Lin Jue be no match for him?
Nangong Yi sat on the edge of the wall not far away, hiding his figure with the help of dense branches. He has been sitting here and watching for a long time, and those ladies didn't see it, but he didn't miss it, in this pot throwing competition, Lin Jue was "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" from beginning to end.
Because of the disparity in identity, there are not many records of this unruly Miss Lin Er in his original memory, judging from what happened today, Nangong Yi suddenly felt that this Lin Jue was not as brainless as rumored outside, and he knew that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he still had some scheming. However, since he has been watching the excitement here for so long, how can he say it, he also has to give a little gift to this Second Miss Lin, right?
Thinking like this, Nangong Yi casually picked up a broken tile and put it in his hand, weighed it twice, and threw it in the direction of Lin Jue-
Lin Jue was standing at the water's edge, she had already seen a silver kettle, and was about to throw the stick in her hand, when she suddenly felt something flying towards her with a strong wind, turned around, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but as soon as her feet slipped, the whole person tilted towards the water...... Seeing that he was about to fall into the water, in a panic, Lin Jue reached out and grabbed the branch next to him, and with the help of the power of the branch, the person stabilized. But the bamboo stick in his hand and the bamboo tube drew a perfect parabola in the air, and all fell into the water!
For a while, the water splashed.
The people who were originally watching it were stunned for a moment, this ...... The plot, why don't you follow the script at all? It's so good, how could something fly from the sky and almost hit Lin Jue? But I think that even if there is no stubble, with Lin Jue's pot throwing skills, she may not be able to win Chen Xueqing, and it is already rare for her to be able to draw with others by luck this time.
After stabilizing his body, Lin Jue felt that something was wrong, and raised his head suddenly, but saw a familiar figure on the wall not far away! Nangong Yi was sitting there, and he was also looking at her at this time, with a slight smile on his cold face. Needless to say, the tile just now must be his masterpiece.
Good for you, Nangong Yi! Lin Jue subconsciously gritted her teeth, sure enough, this person also has memories of his previous life, is he going to come to her for revenge?!
Seeing that Lin Jue made a mistake, Chen Xueqing, who had been nervous, instantly became happy, as long as she didn't lose, the result of this tie had no effect on her, anyway, Lin Jue's poor pot throwing skills are also known to everyone, as long as the word comes out, saying that she is purely lucky this time, she will not win.
"Okay, okay, since the two of you have a tie, then it's ...... to take back your respective code notes", Lord Miao quickly stood up and said, after the stubble just now, she no longer believed in Chen Xueqing, although she loved Lin Jue's bracelet very much in her heart, but the most important thing at present was to get her butterfly hairpin back first.
"Wait!" Lin Jue took his hand off the branch, patted the resin stained in his hand, and said loudly, "Who said there was a tie, obviously I won!" ——”
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" , Chen Xueqing raised her eyebrows.
"Did I talk nonsense, Miss Chen San, you can come and see for yourself." , Lin Jue pointed to a place in the water with a smile on his face and said to everyone.
Following the direction she pointed, everyone saw that on the opposite side of the spring, near the water's edge, there were several tree roots protruding, and a silver kettle was hooked by the roots and did not float away, and in this silver kettle, there was a bamboo stick! It is estimated that the three bamboo sticks that were thrown away with the bamboo tube just now accidentally fell into it.
Everyone's attention was all on Lin Jue's body just now, and Chen Xueqing was carried away by the joy again, and no one noticed that there was a bamboo stick on the spout of the silver kettle.
The crowd took a breath again, how could this be? This Lin Jue's luck is really too good, right?
