Chapter Seventy-Six: Invited to the Capital

Princess Gesang's sudden exclamation frightened everyone, and they thought that people would fall off their horses, so Liu Anxing immediately pulled the reins and controlled his horses from crashing into Princess Gesang's horses. But it was his scruples that doomed him to failure.

I saw that the princess of Gesang hooked her lips and smiled, and the whole person clamped the horse's belly, pressed her body downward, and let the horse put down the high hooves, and galloped again, and finally crossed the finish line and became the winner of the last race.

Although Liu Anxing lost, he was not annoyed, when he encountered that kind of accident, even a woman was calmer than him, and even directly established the situation of victory, and his heart was a little worse after all.

"The princess's equestrianism is really good, admire and admire." Liu Anxing stepped forward and sighed heartily.

"In fact, if there is no small accident in this competition, it is still unknown who will win or lose in the end. I just played a trick and played a little trick. Princess Gesang grinned, blunt about how her victory had been achieved.

"A loss is a loss, no matter what the reason. What's more, luck is also part of strength, and the princess doesn't have to be like that. Anyway, if I lose a horse race, or archery, I don't necessarily lose a second time if I lose once. ”

"Then I'll see."

Because of horse racing, the two who are on equal footing have become a little closer.

As for the other young men, it was not easy for them to come and speak, after all, there was no excuse.

After taking the horses away, the square was replaced with a target.

The distance of the arrow is based on 10 meters, each person has 10 arrows, and the closer the target is to the position of the red heart point, the higher the score. Compared with the modern subdivision of the ten rings, the target here is only divided by a circle of five rings.

The bullseye is red, and the other four rings form a circle with a white line.

The archery competition is not as cumbersome as riding a horse, and after each person shoots how many shots are counted, ten people are selected to start the final competition.

Shen Zhuru's results were not bad, and she was lucky to be the only woman among the ten finalists.

The other princess Gesang is a rare woman who has no choice but to make this suggestion.

In the mixed competition, the final winner of the ten people was soon born.

As Liu Anxing said, he won Princess Gesang this time.

Ten arrows, the arrow hit the bull's-eye, and Princess Gesang missed with one arrow, and there was no chance of two draws and no more competition.

However, with the results of this competition, Liu Anxing showed his face in front of Princess Gesang and was deeply impressed.

Withdraw this competition, everyone is also a little tired.

The third item of playing the piano made many ladies laugh happily.

This is their strong point, and they finally have a chance to show their faces.

But before they could be happy, a horse head piano full of exotic styles was brought up, except for Shen Zhuru, even Qiao Yuelong, those young ladies were dumbfounded.

"This is our steppe horse-head fiddle, one of my favorite instruments. It is said that the ladies of Yuruiguo all know the piano and like to play the piano, so today they will use the performance of the piano as the content of the competition. As long as anyone can play a piece of music with this horse-head fiddle that is acceptable to me, the two warriors, and to those present, I have a reward. Princess Gesang suddenly said that most people were stunned by the fact that there was a horse head violin and said that she was going to compete, but when she heard that there was a reward, even if she didn't, she was confident in her ability and was willing to give it a try.

Regardless of the reward, as long as it is recognized, it is an opportunity to show your face, and the women naturally ask their children as much as possible, even if they try.

Anyway, the matouqin looks like it's not much different from the erhu after it is bigger and wider, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After Liu Anxing and the others saw this instrument, they gave up the idea of going up.

As a man, you can lose, but you can't pretend to be messy and lose face.

The daughters of all families have taken the initiative to go up and give it a try, but this instrument has never been used at all, even if it is used as an erhu, but it can't find the rhythm, how can it play a repertoire that people can recognize?

"Sister Ru, aren't you going to try it? It feels like it's fun. I don't know why, I always feel that Sister Ru you can definitely win. Qiao Yuelong said with a smile beside her.

"You have that confidence in me?"

"It's not a matter of faith, it's a feeling, an intuition tells me, Sister Ru, you must be able to. You see so many people go up and try, but in the end they all lose face, if in the end they can't even play the horse-head qin, I'm afraid that the faces of the entire Qiyang County will be dull, and they will be looked down upon by Princess Gesang. ”

Shen Zhuru looked around, looking at the gradually changing atmosphere around her, as if it was really like what Qiao Yuelong said.

looked at Princess Gesang again, but she still had a faint smile, but the smile was obviously faint and only perfunctory.

Looking at the ladies on the high platform at the door, especially the mother-in-law Mu Liu Xinyue's brows were almost knotted, if she didn't think that Shen Zhuru could do something, I am afraid that people would have to come over and urge her to go up.

If it is just a simple use of the horse-head qin to play a tune, Shen Zhuru feels that it can still be done.

Looking at Mu Liu Xinyue's expression now, if she can make a splash and win the reward of Princess Gesang, her life in the Mu family will be much better in the future.

Thinking about it like this, there was a reason to go up, and after Shen Zhuru shook her head and walked down in front of Miss Li, she got up and walked over.

"Hey, Mrs. Mu, your daughter-in-law has also gone up. Could it be that she knows how to play? Yes, the daughter-in-law who can enter the Mu family always has some ability. It seems that I can finally hear a decent tune. Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mrs. Joe, you are mistaken. My daughter-in-law just went up and tried it out of curiosity. You see that so many young ladies are helpless, and she must not be able to do it. If you say that, if you cause a misunderstanding, it won't be good. Mu Liu Xinyue responded, but scolded Shen Zhuru in her heart.

I didn't see so many people not going up, what are you making a fuss about. If you can't play the tune, it will only shame the Mu family and leave a bad impression in front of the public.

Shen Zhuru naturally didn't know what Mu Liu Xinyue was thinking, and even tried the last project outside, but Mu Fenghua was never seen.

I don't know what the hell that guy is up to.

The horse-head fiddle was full of weight in his hand, pulling the strings, and the low sound of the piano sounded, making the scene quiet.

The tune of the Scarborough Bazaar of a foreign song comes to mind, a beautiful and slow tune that tells a sentimental story. Under the elaboration of the deep sound of the horse-head piano, there is a more immersive feeling.

When the song sounded, Princess Gesang and the two steppe warriors beside her were all focused on her.

I thought that no one would be good at playing the matouqin, but I didn't expect that today's interest came, but after being disappointed, Shen Zhuru ushered in such a turning point.

The song is over, and the aftertaste is not exhausted.

Princess Gesang applauded Shen Zhuru.

"Zhuru, I didn't expect you to know how to play the matouqin, it's really good. I have decided that I will ask you to accompany me on this trip, and when I want to hear you play, you will play me a tune. As for the reward you want, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, you can say it. As much as I have, I can give it to you. ”

Princess Gesang's promise undoubtedly made many people red-eyed.

But what's the use of being red, if you can't play the matouqin and play the tune, you won't be able to win the favor of Princess Gesang, if you offend people rashly, you will only gain more than you lose.

"Mrs. Mu, congratulations. Also, you were too modest what you just said, and this is still called no, so how can it be considered will? Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Liu all looked at Mu Liu Xinyue and smiled, somewhat envious.

For the sake of that sentence, Princess Gesang took the initiative to ask Shen Zhuru to enter Beijing together.

Shen Zhuru was also surprised at the moment, it would have been fine if it was just a reward, but she didn't expect Princess Gesang to invite her to the capital with her.

Although this should be an honorable invitation, Shen Zhuru didn't want to go.

"Thank you for the princess's kindness, it's just that I have a humble status, and the bustling city of the capital is not suitable for a lowly woman like me to go."

"You reject me?" Princess Gesang's eyes widened in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

"The princess is angry, the daughter-in-law of the people is not very sensible, she is willing to accompany the princess to the capital." Mu Liu Xinyue got up and opened her mouth, and then walked to Shen Zhuru's side and pulled her to Princess Gesang.

"You ......"

"The woman is Zhuru's mother-in-law."

"I see. Since Zhuru refuses to go with me, I will not be reluctant, and Madame doesn't have to be like this. Princess Gesang responded good-naturedly, seeing Mu Liu Xinyue's actions as fear of her identity, and opened her mouth to appease.

"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly, it's her honor. The reason why she refused before was because she was worried that the son of the woman was at home alone. After all, Wu'er is very clingy to this child, and she also likes Wu'er very much, so she has to refuse painfully. ”

Shen Zhuru was silent, looking at her mother-in-law Mu Liu Xinyue's side face, wanting to see what she wanted.

"What happened to Zhuru's husband? What's not to worry about him staying at home? Princess Gesang couldn't help asking.

"This, Wu'er, Wu'er's heart is like a child, he will never grow up, Zhuru is a good wife, I am worried that he will not be able to take care of himself. Of course, if the princess does not dislike having one more person to accompany her, and can bring my son with her, the problem can be solved. As for arriving in the capital, it happened that my mother and husband had already gone to the capital first, and after that, my son could go to my mother's place, but I didn't have to bother the princess to take care of it. ”

"Oh, I see. I don't mind having a few more people with me, it's more lively, Yuelong, are you interested in going to the capital together? Princess Gesang said this to Qiao Yuelong, which made Mrs. Qiao a little flattered, and she was too busy to answer her daughter.

"Yuelong is willing. Being able to go to the capital with the princess to see the world is something that many people can't ask for. ”

"Yuelong, what do you mean?" Princess Gesang insisted on listening to Qiao Yuelong's own meaning.

Under the hint of Mrs. Qiao's eyes several times, Qiao Yuelong glanced at Shen Zhuru and nodded in agreement.

"Since the princess also let the young master of the Mu family accompany her, why don't you also let the shore punishment accompany her? It just so happens that he has also practiced martial arts for many years, which just comes in handy, in addition to being able to temporarily act as a guard, he can also accompany the young master of the Mu family, and he can also give the princess and Mrs. Mu a little more time alone, I don't know what the princess wants? Not to be outdone, Mrs. Liu directly asked for an accompanying person for her son.

Liu Anxing wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he was glared at by his mother, and he could only endure the words, and turned his gaze to the other side with a little embarrassment, not wanting Princess Gesang to misunderstand anything.

"I also have the ability of Liu Gongzi, so let's go with it."

"Thank you, princess." Mrs. Liu said happily.

Seeing that even Liu Anxing could accompany him, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Li obviously moved their minds and wanted to ask for a companion for their son, but the young masters of the two families behaved mediocre and failed in the end.

A flower-viewing party was completely changed because of the arrival of Princess Gesang, but even so, the atmosphere was still warm.

When he left from Qiao's courtyard, Mu Fenghua was late.

Princess Gesang, who saw Mu Fenghua for the first time, was obviously stunned, and then blushed slightly, hiding her embarrassment, but she still couldn't help but look at Mu Fenghua a few more times.

Princess Gesang's strange appearance, Shen Zhuru naturally saw it in her eyes, not to mention that she was not alone.

How outstanding Mu Fenghua's appearance is now a result for all to see, even this grassland princess will be attracted without exception.

However, Shen Zhuru could see that although Princess Gesang was amazed by Mu Fenghua, her eyes were clear, without a trace of different colors, but pure appreciation.

After returning to Mufu, Mu Liu Xinyue found Mu Jinyang and asked him to prepare Shen Zhuru and Mu Fenghua's clothes, choose the right people to accompany him, and even Mu Jinyang was asked to take care of the food and daily life of the two as a housekeeper, and went to the capital with Princess Gesang's team.

In other words, Mu Liu Xinyue asked Mu Jinyang to accompany her, and she liked his improvisation and the function of the treasury.

handed over the money to Shen Zhuru and asked her to take her son to Beijing together, Mu Liu Xinyue was not at ease.

Despite this, there should not be too many people accompanying him, plus Shen Zhuru and Mu Fenghua, the total number of people should not exceed six.

In this way, there are three places left.

"Young Master Jinyang, the young master has always been served by a slave, and the slave is absolutely going to go." Qibao directly opened his mouth to recommend himself, with a confident face.

"The slave maid recommends Yueyang to take care of the young lady's daily life, as for the remaining person, Young Master Jinyang can decide for himself, and the slave and maid will not have any objections." Yuxu also opened his mouth, but he didn't recommend himself but recommended, and recommended his peers in Yueyang, who had outstanding appearance.

Mu Jinyang nodded, "Since there are only six people, then I will choose the remaining one to ask for in the courtyard." When he is away from home, there are some things that are best for him to do. ”

"Then it's decided. Cousin, look at what else you need to prepare, I don't know much about this, so I'll have to work for you. Shen Zhuru saw that the result of the discussion was reached, and said directly. (To be continued.) )
