Chapter 565: Spraying Rice
Glazed Pavilion, colorful silk swaying, charming and gorgeous.
Downstairs, there are tables and chairs, and the seats are full.
On each table, in addition to tea, there are also melon and fruit snacks.
The test stand has a new look and a big red carpet.
There are three steps from downstairs to upstairs, located in the middle of the glazed pavilion, and the steps connected to the test bench are tied with various colored ribbons, and lanterns are hung above.
An Rong and the others stood at the door, and a maid came to invite.
An Rong is the behind-the-scenes boss of Liuli Pavilion, and she is the organizer of the Liuli Banquet, she wants to speak for a while, and the maid invites her upstairs.
Mrs. Xiao is the judge, and her position is closest to the test bench and has the best line of sight.
Mrs. Xiao San was a little behind Mrs. Xiao.
An Rong went upstairs and entered the private room.
In the private room, An Rong can only hear the movement downstairs, but cannot see the scene downstairs.
The maid brought the tea, and An Rong took the tea and sipped it lightly.
A middle-aged man came in with a post, he looked thoughtful, with a beard, neatly trimmed, a white face, and bright eyes.
This person's surname is Zhou, he is the second manager of Xiao Guogong's Mansion, and he has helped Mrs. Xiao hold a lot of banquets.
Manager Zhou entered the door, respectfully saluted An Rongfu, and then handed the post to him, "Young grandma, this is the final process of holding the glass banquet, you can take a look at it." ”
An Rong took the post and swept a few glances, which was not much different from what she had shown her before.
An Rong handed the post to Manager Zhou and said with a smile. "Trouble Mr. Zhou."
Manager Zhou was a little flattered, and said busily, "Don't dare to bear it, thanks to the young grandmother and the eldest lady, I will hand over such an important banquet to the slaves, and the servants will do their best." ”
An Rong nodded, and Manager Zhou said again, "Young grandmother, it's time to have a banquet." ”
An Rong got up.
On the corridor on the second floor, there are also sixteen tables and chairs. It was full of people.
An Rong walked out. I met Prince Rui and Su Junze, as well as Cui Yao and Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian shouted sister-in-law, while Prince Rui and Cui Yao nodded and smiled at An Rong.
An Rong smiled at them, and at a glance, she saw Su Junze staring at her. Gentle as jade face. A pair of starry eyes. A wound streaked through, followed by ridicule and mockery.
An Rongxin mourned slightly, he was still sneering and mocking her. Reborn in a lifetime, did the monstrous power of Xiao Zhan abandon him, a husband who respected each other like a guest in his previous life?
She didn't taunt him, but he blamed her?!
With a hint of anger in An Rong's eyes, she turned around, walked a few steps, and walked downstairs.
An Rong Jin'er wore a sky blue skirt, holding a flowing fairy bun, and carrying the best headdress of the Jade Brocade Pavilion given to her by the third wife before she got married.
She was slender and calm.
Her skin is brighter than snow, her bright eyes are circulating, the pear vortex on her pink lips is looming, and she can't take her eyes off her smile and smile.
She slowly descended the stairs.
Walking to the middle of the test table, An Rong said with a smile, "Today everyone can come to participate in the glass banquet, I am honored, at the original lantern fair, I luckily won the title of the Hundred Flowers Goddess, but encountered an assassin, destroyed the glass lamp, two days ago, I was fortunate to find an identical glass lamp, I wanted to send it out with the title of the Hundred Flowers Goddess, everyone also knows that in order to hold the glass banquet, even the draft has been postponed for a few days, in order to select a Hundred Flowers Goddess with both ability and political integrity, color and art! It's not like me, a goddess of flowers who came by luck! ”
An Rong said, pausing.
There was a smile from below, "Young Grandma Xiao Biao, don't be too modest, she can guess so many riddles in a row, and she is by no means a person who has lost her name." ”
An Rong smiled, please don't make fun of her.
An Rong saluted to Prince Rui and other ten noble ladies, thanking them for giving face to the Xiao Guogong Mansion, giving her face, and coming to participate in the glass banquet.
After thanking them one by one, An Rong asked Mr. Zhou to come up and talk about the rules of the competition.
An Rong turned and walked up the steps.
Manager Zhou bowed, and then said, "I just made a statistic, there are one hundred and twenty-eight girls who came to participate in the competition, which is as fierce as the competition for the Hundred Flowers Goddess at the Lantern Festival, not including the girls who were stopped by the four lantern riddles, there are too many people, but there is only one ...... the Hundred Flowers Goddess." ”
Manager Zhou said a lot of things, which basically means that the competition is cruel, and one hundred and twenty-seven people must be eliminated, and the girl selected from so many people does not know how stunning and talented she is.
It's exciting.
After saying that, it's the rules of the competition.
In addition to calligraphy, which must be tested, two of the seven other piano, chess, painting, poetry, and songs can not participate in the competition.
After all, no one is perfect, how can it be that all of them can be proficient?
But calligraphy is a must, and you can't even write words, so let such a girl be a goddess of flowers, is it the past?
In addition, dancing is a must, because the goddess of flowers has to dance, which is the rule.
Liuliyan stipulates this, and Mr. Zhou asks everyone whether they agree or not.
The noble lady and the young master of the family present all agreed, they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and songs, and can dance, which is too difficult for strong people, and there are two things that can't, or a little worse, it's completely okay.
The first thing to try was calligraphy.
Why do you want to try calligraphy first?
Because calligraphy makes people feel refreshed, cultivates people's sentiments, and cultivates self-cultivation.
Of course, this is not the main reason, but compared to piano, chess, painting, poetry and songs, calligraphy is the fastest, and more than a dozen girls can do it at the same time.
There are too many people, and some of them need to be eliminated in the fastest way.
After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, a small servant brought the desk and put pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
On the huge examination platform, there are sixteen tables, which are somewhat like the imperial examination.
According to the serial number, the girls from the first to the sixteenth went downstairs to write calligraphy.
It is written that all the ladies must be familiar with the "Female Commandment".
Each scene was written differently, and the first sixteen girls wrote the first three sentences.
After it was written, it was sent to the ten noble ladies for scoring.
If the handwriting is too ugly and the three ladies veto, then the girl will not be eligible to participate in the next round of competition.
An Rong sat in the best position upstairs.
Those words will be sent to her.
Some of the characters are very beautifully written, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at them.
Some of the words are written crookedly, and some are typos.
There are also those who are not even familiar with the "Female Commandment".
Most of these people are the daughters of the family, and they are spoiled by their parents, how can they be worthy of the name of the goddess of flowers?
Decisive elimination.
At the end of this round, forty girls were eliminated.
The other girls scored high and low.
In the gap between the calligraphy competition, the maids have already made statistics, which girls give up which two kinds of competition, and after a while, they will be spared.
The second contest is painting.
Draw their favorite thing with a stick of incense.
This game took a lot of time.
An Rong watched upstairs and sipped his tea.
Like calligraphy, the maids are all used to show An Rong.
Some of the paintings are very good, and they can be said to be very exquisite.
But some of them are called squirting.
Looking at the pig's head painted on the painting, Peony covered her stomach, "Young grandma, these girls obviously can't draw, why don't they go around?" ”
An Rong chuckled, "If you can paint like this, other estimates won't, and if you spare the painting, you can't get around anything else." ”
