Chapter 427: New Tricks

For a while, no one got up to perform, so Shu Jin chatted with Jiang Duanyu for a few words. The content is about the ventriloquist just now.

"I remember when I was very young, I learned an article about ventriloquism, and the ventriloquist mentioned in the article lived within an eight-foot screen, as long as there was a table, a chair, a fan, and a ruler, and he could 'all voices in unison, and all wonderful'. He imitated the sound of a fire, and the guests who heard it 'all left the table without changing their color, and they stretched out their arms, and the two trembled, and they almost wanted to go first'. At the time, I was looking forward to hearing it myself, but when I grew up and heard about the real ventriloquism, I thought it was really worthy of my name, and I was amazed every time. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see such a wonderful performance today. ”

"Article? Which one is it? I'll study it when the time comes. Jiang Duanyu asked casually.

"......" He had just finished asking, and found that Shu Jin was looking at him with a smile.

Finally, Shu Jin said:

"I'll give you a message when I get back."

Jiang Duanyu instantly thought of the article that Shu Jin saw when he was a child, presumably, there is no such thing as a big performance. So I didn't know what to say for a while. Just as he was embarrassed, suddenly someone in the seat got up.

"Father, my daughter knows what it means to be amazing this time, look at the performance of that soldier just now, no one is willing to perform!"

Qi Yue said, and everyone at the banquet stopped their movements when they saw her get up.

"If there is no performance, do you want to stop the banquet? Father, it's really too early to stop the banquet at the moment, although today's competition after the banquet is very exciting, but Yue'er and Sister Yuan don't think it's enjoyable enough! We thought about it, and every time we hunted, it was the competitors themselves who came forward to perform. There may be some people who are really talented and learned, and they are ashamed to boast, so they refuse to stand up. Why don't we play some fresh tricks this time? ”

When Qi Yan heard this, he looked at Qi Yue, and saw his eldest daughter with a strange smile, but because she was born well, she was also pleasing to the eye. Qi Yan was already in a good mood, so he planned to let her go, so he said:

"Oh? What's Yue'er's good idea? Let's hear it. ”

And so it was done.

Qi Yue listened. Very happy at the moment, he bent down and picked up a wine glass and said:

"Here's how I did it, and later I called someone to come and make some signatures with me, and write some questions on them. But it's nothing more than about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Then when the drum sounds, the people in the room hear the drum and begin to pass the glass, and when the drum stops, the person who holds the cup will draw lots and perform according to the title of the lot.

Those who have excellent skills will be judged by everyone and their father's reward together with other competitions, and those who can't complete the signing of the title should not be too embarrassed. Then it's good to choose another one that is good at it. ”

When Qi Yan heard it with everyone, this idea was not bad. Originally, this banquet was meant to be lively. As for the competition, it's just to get a good fortune after hunting in this field. So everyone praised the idea. Qi Yan saw that everyone had no objections, so he nodded and agreed, and asked Qi Yue to prepare.

Qi Yue got the order, and immediately called Qi Yuan for help, and at the same time even called Li Hengcheng:

"Cousin won the championship in today's competition, why don't you help us think of a few topics!"

When Li Hengcheng heard this, he had no choice but to get up and help.

At this time, Zuo Sisi actually stood up. Said to Qi Yue Qi Yuan:

"Prepare questions and other fun things, count me in!"

Qi Yue looked at her and said with a smile:

"That's good, of course."

So, Zuo Sisi also joined in to prepare the inscription.

Shu Jin looked at the backs of several people, knocked his fingers rhythmically on the desk, leaned over to Jiang Duanyu and said:

"Guess the cup will come to me?"

Jiang Duanyu frowned as early as when Zuo Sisi stood up, and when he heard Shu Jin's words, he also felt in his heart that there was a great possibility that this cup would fall into Shu Jin's hands.

"Even if I were really stumped by this inscription, what would happen?"

Shu Jin said idly.

She really couldn't understand what substantial damage these women could cause to themselves by doing so many things? Even if she can't finish the topic, at most she can say that she is not good at Shu Jinliuyi, right? She is not a girl who wants to marry a good husband and a good lady with a good reputation, and it is nothing without this good reputation.

Having said that, she was still curious about how these people wanted to embarrass herself.

After a while, Li Hengcheng returned to his seat, and then Qi Yue walked back with Qi Yuan's Zuo Sisi. Qi Yue was followed by an attendant, holding a large lottery holder in his arms, which was obviously the topic they had prepared.

"Alright, let's get started! I'll be in charge of shouting orders, and I'll turn my back on everyone for the sake of fairness. As for drumming, it's up to Sisi, right? ”

Hearing this, Zuo Sisi smiled brightly and said:

"Gladly!" After speaking, he walked among the musicians, chose a tambourine, and waited for Qi Yue's password.

Qi Yue smiled and said, "Okay, then, let's start." This cup, well, it's better to start passing it from my cousin! As he spoke, he ordered someone to hand the cup to Li Hengcheng.

Although there is a gap between each seat in this single seat, passing a cup is just the distance of reaching out for a hand, which is still close enough. Qi Yue turned around, and then the drum beaten, and the cups began to pass between the hands. Many people who don't want to perform can't wait to hand the cup out, while some people calmly hand the cup to the next person. All of a sudden, the drums and laughter continued, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

"Stop!" Qi Yue shouted.

The glass stopped, and it was in the hands of one man. When Qi Yue saw it, she smiled and said:

"It turned out to be Shi Shilang's son, please come forward and draw the question."

The stone boy had no choice but to step forward.

"It's a poem on horses." Qi Yue read out the question on the sign.

That Shi Gongzi seems to have read a lot of books, although a poem is not very exciting, it is not laborious, and everyone praised it a little after listening to it, which can be regarded as passing. Qi Yue smiled and continued, then turned around. The cup was passed from Shi Gongzi's hand.

Shu Jin smiled and watched the cups pass around, getting closer and closer to him, and naturally knew what tricks they were playing.

In a game like this, most of the people must be paying attention to the position of the cups at the moment, but few people are paying attention to the changes in the drum beat. Zuo Sisi and Qi Yue are both good at musical instruments, and they must be very sensitive to changes in rhythm. Qi Yue said that her back was for fairness, but in fact, she turned her back and could quietly distinguish Zuo Sisi's drumbeat, so that she could stop in time when Zuo Sisi gave her a hint.

The previous pauses were just to cover people's eyes. Unexpectedly, they worked hard to frame themselves. It's not that Shu Jin feels good about himself and always feels that others will harm him, but it's that Zuo Sisi's occasionally floating eyes are too suggestive. (To be continued.) )
