(Three-in-one chapter, opened in August, I wish you all the best!) ）

Cui Xinlu's hand really surprised others, so many pairs of eyes staring, she couldn't cheat if she wanted to, unless Yu Shu colluded with her in advance.

But it's even more impossible, everyone sees that this person is picked out by Xue Guifei, can it be that Guifei Niangniang helps Cui Xin bluff everyone together?

Compared with the surprise of the bystanders, Yu Shu, the person concerned, can be said to be in a fog, and he can't see what trick Cui Xin has played, but he can accurately guess her thoughts.

The palace maid presented the name of the flower written by Yu Shu to Xue Guifei, and several nobles in the water pavilion took turns to verify it, but they were still a little unbelievable.

So the Duchess of Yasukuni spoke: "I didn't understand, can Miss Cui come again?" ”

Cui Xin agreed, and concocted the same method, asking Yu Shu to help, still guessing the flowers and plants in the yard, and letting her write it, and asking the question of joy and rain, which is irrelevant.

As a result, Cui Xin hit the answer written by Yu Shu on the paper again, this time, it was "canna".

At this moment, the faces of some people present became delicate, and when they saw the Cui family's "spiritual words", they couldn't help but make the delicate person think about it one more layer-

can hear the words and know the heart, so in front of the Cui family who are familiar with this thaumaturgy, what secrets are there?

"Your name is Cui Xin, isn't it," Xue Guifei spoke at this time, "The strange study in the house is indeed different, you show it to the palace again, don't guess those flowers and plants, guess something else." ”

Hear the words. Cui Xin smiled bitterly, and said shortly: "Niangniang forgive the sin, the little girl doesn't dare to hide it, according to my ability, this 'spiritual word technique' can only be performed twice a day, and if I do it again, I am afraid that I will lose face." ”

"Huh?" Xue Guifei had a kind smile on her face: "Is it because you are not good at learning, or are you deliberately clumsy?" You have to be honest, this palace hates people to cheat the most, maybe tonight's golden jade hibiscus. I rewarded you. ”

And when they heard this, they heard it. His expression has changed.

Yu Shu looked at Cui Xin thoughtfully, and was also thinking about how effective the "Spirit Word Technique" passed down by her family was.

Cui Xin listened to Xue Guifei's words, and was not happy and surprised, and mentioned the skirt. Then he knelt outside the water pavilion. Bow down:

"How dare the little woman deceive in front of the nobles. It is really a secret of family learning, and the reason for it is inconvenient to explain it in public. But there is a big mention from Si Tianjian that can prove that my Cui family's 'speech and spirit technique', the more refined it is, the more difficult it is to perform, for example, my third uncle can get it once in ten days, while my grandfather only gets it once a month. ”

Hearing this explanation, half of the people present turned their faces better.

Xue Guifei turned her head and asked the Duchess of Yasukuni: "What about the old lady's opinion?" ”

Duchess Yasukuni leaned back in her chair and said, "I can only guess the flowers and plants in this garden when I look at this girl's ability, as for her grandfather Cui Gong, there is more than that." ”

Hearing these two comments, the faces of the other half of the people present also improved.

Princess Xiang looked at Cui Xin who was kneeling on the ground, after all, it was the child she had seen since she was a child, and she couldn't help but help, and whispered a few words in Xue Guifei's ear.

Probably because her words worked, Xue Guifei restrained her smile, her expression faded a lot for a while, and waved her hand at Cui Xin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said:

"Get up—someone else."

Cui Xin hurriedly got up and retreated, standing beside the county lord of Xiwen.

Yu Shu also retreated to the back of the person, and looked coldly at Cui Xin and Xi Wen talking to each other, not knowing what to say.

"Can you see what's going on?" Xue Rui walked around to the back of the crowd and asked Yu Shu in a low voice.

Yu Shu hesitated and said: "This Cui family's thaumaturgy is clearly based on the method of Jiazi Nayin, and I have also heard of several Nayin thaumaturgy, but it is very troublesome to calculate, in comparison, this 'spiritual word technique' can be described as wonderful." ”

She sighed in her heart: The Twelve Mansion families are worthy of being the Yixue family that can gain a foothold in the capital, and just a family heirloom can support a façade.

Just imagine, Cui Xin is just guessing the flowers and plants today, so will the old man of the Cui family be able to understand people's hearts?

"I just wonder, the Cui family has such a ability to read minds, how can the emperor tolerate the population of this mansion, speculating on the holy will, isn't it a capital crime?" Yu Shu whispered to Xue Ruinahan.

Xue Rui shook his head, waved away the fan, blocked in front of the two, and whispered in her ear:

"Silly girl, what do you do as Si Tianjian, do you eat white rice when you mention it? This is easy to learn, I don't understand, but there is a secret, a little heard, the saint wears a treasure of heaven and earth, which is the founding of Da'an, passed on to the successor from generation to generation, so except for the great mention of the dynasty was edicted to be pro-sacred, no one can tell the son of heaven a little good luck. ”

Yu Shu gained insight again, and was surprised in her heart: you must know that Lu Dao has the "Treasure Book" gifted by the Xin family in her hand, and has seen all kinds of strange treasures, but none of them can stop people from divining.

I really don't know what that strange treasure on the emperor's body will be?

With Cui Xin in front of him, several young ladies in the back played and played, played the kite and flute, and embroidered fists and feet, which were not much to look at.

Yu Shu turned to pay attention to the movement on the lake, and found that there were one or two rafts rowing from the other side of the lake to the center of the lake.

And the light on the surface of the lake was dimmed for a small time, and it seemed that these people had extinguished all the papier-mâché in order to find out the one with the real gold wick.

Yu Shu glanced at Xue Rui and said, "When did you go into the water?" Wait any longer, someone really has a blind cat who touches a dead mouse and finds the gold core, you and that Second Master Zhu will not become a joke. ”

Xue Rui saw that she had already learned about his bet with Zhu Qingjue, smiled, glanced in the direction of Zhu Qingjue, and said to her:

"The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, it's a big deal, it's a tie, what am I afraid of."

Yu Shu saw that he looked at ease, so he didn't worry about him, and was about to continue to observe Xi Wen's movements, when his afterglow flashed, but he saw Jing Chen, who had been staying outside the water pavilion just now, turned around and went towards the shore of the lake.

He walked to the shore, folded a piece of wicker first, and salvaged a few lanterns nearby. He weighed it in his hand, fiddled with it for a moment, and then put it back in the water.

What's he doing?

Yu Shu just had a question, but the next moment, he was dumbfounded.

I saw Jing Chen retreat a foot, and then a vertical body, enough water lanterns, one after another, the wide white sleeved robe was blown by the wind, like a wild goose with wings spread. Leap across the water!

"Look! Michiko is flying on the water! "This is the young lady of the Wenchen family.

"Wow! What a handsome light work! "This is the girl of the military general's family.

Soon. No one cared about the girl who was performing the painting, and all turned their attention to Jing Chen, who was speeding on the surface of the lake, like walking on the ground.

"What's going on?" The nobles in the water pavilion questioned each other.

Yu Shu frowned, and began to worry about whether Jingchen would really be instigated by someone. I want to take this golden jade hibiscus.

Xue Rui carefully looked at Jing Chen's movements. There was a gleam in his eyes. lowered his face slightly and said, "What a cheap way." ”

Yu Shu turned his head and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The lanterns on this lake are all made by the court. Exactly the same size. However, the real gold is precious, and the lantern made of it must be easier to sink than the ordinary lantern, as long as he grasps the strength of his feet, he does not need to pay attention to the unsinkable lantern when passing by, but there is a different lamp, which will definitely be stepped on and sunk by him. ”

Xue Rui will say that this is a cheap method, because this method can only be used by a martial artist with excellent light skills like Jing Chen, and even if others understand his intentions, they can't follow suit, so they can only stare dryly.

Yu Shu said this by Xue Rui, and his brows were furrowed so that he could almost kill the mosquito.

"Smack", her forehead was knocked out, and she came back to her senses and saw the folding fan that Xue Rui had withdrawn, as well as the corners of his upturned mouth:

"What are you worried about, with me here, no one will want to bargain tonight."

With that, he turned and strode towards the bridge in the distance.

Yu Shu touched his forehead, looked at the back of him leaving Xinran, and suddenly had an impulse in his heart, and trotted to chase after him.

"Big brother and so on."

Xue Rui turned his head and stopped, and saw Yu Shu running in front of him, facing the direction of the crowd, reaching out and groping in his sleeve pocket for a while, taking out a triangular sachet and stuffing it into his hand.

"What is this?" As soon as Xue Rui touched it, he felt that there was something hidden inside, which seemed to be jade.

"It's good luck." Yu Shu raised his head and winked at him, and said with sparkling eyes:

"Originally, I was going to give you a birthday gift, but now I have changed my mind, I will give you half first, and the other half, and I want you to take that golden jade hibiscus to exchange with me."

Their relationship is now a secret, and the role of the golden jade hibiscus is completely useless to the two of them, and even if they get it, they can't give it away to each other in a fair and bright way.

However, just because it's useless doesn't mean it's meaningless – the golden jade hibiscus, a godsend, even if it's not recognized, what's the matter?

Look at the hibiscus fairy who fell in love with mortals, wasn't she also blocked by the Emperor of Heaven, and at the last moment, she still achieved a positive result.

She doesn't want the use of the golden jade hibiscus, as long as the beautiful will behind it - if there is a person, she would rather wait infatuatedly, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, how can she resist the hearts of the people?

Dazzling by the brilliance in her eyes, Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he seemed to know how to read minds, and he could understand her mind from her eyes.

A thousand words, how can it be better than a sentence to know the heart.

Xue Rui was full of joy at this moment, but he couldn't complain, so he had to clench the sachet in his hand, his eyes were full of affection, and he bowed his head to admit to her:

"You wait, I'll rob the golden jade hibiscus to please you."

Tonight's contention is not for hatred, but for love

As soon as Xue Rui left, Zhu Qingjue couldn't bear to wait any longer, followed closely and got on the bridge.

Yu Shu walked back to the water pavilion and swept around, Liu Yi disappeared for a while. At this time, there was no male guest outside the water pavilion, and all of them became competitive women.

"What did you just say to Cousin Xue?" Xin Liu tilted his head and inquired curiously.

Yu Shu smiled casually: "I taught him a way so that he can find the true core." ”

Xin Liuxin thought it was true and grabbed her to ask, but Yu Shu refused to say a word and let her pester.

Just now, a young lady painted a Danqing in the time of half a pillar of incense, and the nobles in the water pavilion commented a few words and praised them, but they showed that they were not very interested.

The young lady did not please her, and knew that she had no hope, so she stepped aside in disappointment.

Xue Guifei wrapped a handkerchief in one hand, lightly pressed the corners of her eyes, yawned a little, and talked to both sides, which also let the people outside hear:

"It looks like it's still interesting at the beginning. Others are not bad, but there is not much novelty, and there is a little less surprise, which makes people unable to lift their spirits. ”

Concubine Shu coughed lightly and had a different opinion: "The Cui family's 'spiritual words' are ingenious, but from the palace point of view, Miss Zhao's double-handed work is also cultivated since childhood, and the realm in the book is rare, and the novelty is insufficient." The mind is sufficient. ”

Xue Guifei glanced at her. smiled: "What you said makes sense, let's not make a conclusion first, let's just read it and then talk about it." ”

Shufei said softly, "Okay".

In the court, the Yin family's power may overshadow the Xue family. But in the harem. But it was Xue Guifei who was above Yin Shufei.

"That's right." Xue Guifei remembered something, turned her head outside, and said by name:

"Wenwen. Didn't you say that you prepared carefully, I haven't seen you move for a long time, are you scared after looking at these good things in front of you? ”

"Niangniang will laugh at others," Xi Wenjiao snorted, stood up, swept around with a pair of beautiful eyes, raised her chin, and said proudly:

"I'm afraid that if you look at me, you won't be able to tell them better."

One sentence made the girls who had behaved before embarrassed.

Princess Xiang frowned lightly, and turned her head to look at Xue Guifei's face.

"Oh?" Xue Guifei shook her handkerchief at her, and said curiously: "Let's take a look, what do you dare to boast about?" ”

"Yes, Niangniang wait a minute," Xi Wen Yingying bowed, and when she got up, she instructed the maid outside the water pavilion:

"Go, fetch my harp."

Playing the piano is not new, and it is a little reluctant to win with this.

Yu Shu saw that Xiwen looked like she was bound to win, and knew that there was another article here.

Sure enough, Xi Wen got the piano, not in a hurry to perform, but opened her mouth first:

"I played this song today, the famous work "Chilling Cicada", the sound is extremely loud, and the cicadas can be moved."

As she spoke, she sat down on the soft mat that had been arranged, and slowly brushed the strings with one hand, and the tune was slow.

It's a summer night, the cicadas in the back garden are constantly chirping, knowing it, I don't want it to be good, deliberately listening, it is inevitable to feel a mess in my ears.

Xi Wen's piano sound is just right for this monotonous cicada song, permeated with syllables, and the two match each other, which is actually very pleasant.

After half a cup of tea, someone whispered, even Yu Shu, who didn't know the rhythm, heard it, the cicadas in the garden seemed to be commanded, high and low, long or short, and suddenly there was a rhythm for a while!

That's not all, with the climax of the piano sound, to the end of the night, Xi Wen a song fell, the piano sound was broken, and the originally high-pitched cicada chirping sounded like a broken string, and it was quiet in an instant!

After a few breaths, the back garden was quiet, so quiet that I couldn't even hear a cicada!

"Know—has—"

It wasn't until the noisy cicadas sounded again that everyone came back to their senses, you look at me, I look at you, and they were amazed.

"A good song "Cold Cicada", the song is rare, the meaning is rare, the county lord Xiwen is attentive, and the palace is impressed by you." The silent concubine was the first to speak out in appreciation, and her girlish fair face was slightly flushed, which was a rare expression when she saw something she liked.

The Duchess of Yasukuni was still a little confused, so she leaned over and asked, "I couldn't turn my ears back just now, why didn't I suddenly scream when I knew everything in the garden?" ”

Someone on the side laughed: "The old lady has no ears, I knew it just now, I didn't scream, we all heard it." ”

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xi Wen raised her eyes, couldn't hide her pride, and sent a look to Cui Xin first.

Seeing this situation, Yu Shu had to praise Xi Wen in his heart for his good intentions-

First of all, Cui Xin came forward, used the family heirloom to calm the scene, so that the later people could not surpass, and when the people in the seat were bored, she stood up again, just swept away the decline, which was refreshing.

If nothing else, no one can overshadow Xi Wen's performance of "Cold Cicada", then a golden jade hibiscus tonight will be her.

Although Yu Shu was sure that Xi Wen's taking the golden jade hibiscus was also an empty thought, she still felt unhappy when she looked triumphant.

A faint voice ran out of my heart—

Xue Rui is the person she likes, but there are other women who are so scheming in order to show favor to her, which makes her embarrassed.

Yu Shu asked herself, really let Xi Wen win the golden jade hibiscus, and hold it in front of Xue Rui's eyes in public, can she swallow this breath?

"I can't swallow it."

Xin Liu suddenly heard Yu Shu muttering to himself, and turned his head to look at her: "What did you say?" ”

Yu Shu's eyes flashed. After a few thoughts in his mind, he put one hand on Xin Liu's shoulder, and asked casually: "Half of this person has come out, aren't you also prepared, when will you go up?" ”

Xin Liu scratched his head and said depressedly: "I still don't want to join in the fun, it's a big deal to go back and be nagged by my mother." ”

Like Xin Liu, he had no intention of competing for the golden jade hibiscus, but he saw someone in front of him who was brilliant. The female guests who are even more reluctant to show their heads. There's a lot of people here.

So after Xi Wen, everyone was still in the afterglow of that cicada chirping, and no one dared to stand up and compete with it for a long time.

See this scene. A group of nobles in the water pavilion exchanged a few glances. Let's start discussing. Discuss which one is best before.

Those who have the tips of their ears have heard that Cui Xin and Xi Wen have been mentioned the most times, and Xi Wen has been praised a lot.

"For now. Wenwen is slightly better than Miss Cui's family," Xue Guifei's gaze swept outward, fell back on Princess Xiang, and recalled:

"When I see this child, I think of the fifth sister, when you were young, you were also so vibrant, naughty and clever, and likable."

Princess Xiang held the tea in her hand for a moment, looked back at her, trying to see something from Xue Guifei's gorgeous face, and after a while, smiled slightly bitterly:

"When I was young, I was ignorant, and I didn't bother my eldest brother."

Hearing her mention the uncle of the Xue family who died young, as soon as the people present smelled that there was something unusual between the two sisters, they heard Xue Guifei's crisp smile:

"Hehe, it's the palace that is far away, back to the point, who else wants to come up and give it a try, if there is no one, then the palace will promise this golden jade hibiscus in his hand."

Hearing the sound, Xi Wen quietly stood a step forward, and couldn't hold the corners of her mouth excitedly.

The people next to him were depressed.

Seeing this, Yu Shu secretly sneered, didn't think about it, and stepped out of the coffin-

"I'm—"

However, without waiting for her to come out, Cui Xin, who had been secretly staring at her movements, pushed Rui Zizhu who was standing in front of her as soon as he saw her move.

Rui Zizhu reflexively, took two steps forward, and suddenly jumped in front of people, and when she looked up, she saw Yu Shu who was about to stand up on the opposite side, and hurriedly said:

"And me!"

Everyone turned their eyes to her and whispered.

Xi Wen looked at Cui Xin, with an inquiry, the latter leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, and soon, Xi Wen showed a little schadenfreude on her face, looked at Rui Zizhu, and then at Yu Shu, and added a sly smile to the corners of her mouth.

Rui Zizhu blushed instantly, quickly glanced at Yu Shu, who was covered in mist and light, and dared not look directly, bit the tip of her tongue hard, stabilized her mind, and then asked for instructions in the water pavilion:

"The courtiers are also prepared, please allow the two mothers."

Few people present did not recognize that this was the queen's niece.

Xue Guifei narrowed her eyes, glanced at someone who stepped out half-footed, hooked her lips and said:

"The girl of the Rui family, what are you good at, come to the palace to listen."

"The courtiers have a book to talk about," Rui Zizhu hung her hands at her sides, and her toes were together, revealing her slight nervousness.

"You want to tell a story?" Xue Guifei looked at her unexpectedly, "Is it interesting?" ”

"Yes, interesting."

"Ha Luha," the Duchess of Yasukuni was happy, "I have been to the Furong Gentlemen's Banquet for more than ten years, and I have never seen anyone come here to talk about books, Niangniang, why don't you listen to it?" ”

Xue Guifei nodded, tilted her body towards the beauty's couch, and raised her hand to signal around:

"Be quiet, and listen to what she has to say."

After all, Rui Zizhu is the daughter of the Duke's Palace, because her back is to Yu Shu, the nervousness at the beginning passed, so she made the proper manners, straightened her skirt, half raised her head, her eyes drooped slightly, and pondered for a moment, first sorted out the words that Xiwen taught her tonight, and then said loudly:

"There is a city in the south, and there is a rich family living in the city, and there is a master in the rich man's house, and after the funeral, he took in several concubines, among whom there is an aunt, who is a widow before entering the door, and has a son and a daughter who have worked hard to raise a son, and after remarrying, because the old man is kind-hearted, he brought them into the rich family, so that they may have no worries about food and clothing. What I want to talk about today is not about the widow, but about the daughter she brought to the rich house. ”

Rui Zizhu is not a serious storyteller, the opening is bland, but the advantage is that her voice is delicate, crisp and beautiful, which makes people hear, so those who stand and sit all listen to it, and no one is distracted.

Yu Shu only heard this beginning, and knew that it was coming for her, she stared at Rui Zizhu for a while, and when her eyes were off, she met Xi Wen's smiling face, and her eyes sank.

"That girl was born with a cheap life, her biological father died suddenly, her mother worked hard, her younger brother was sick and weak, and she finally entered a rich man's house, and she refused to be honest, and often did those sneaky things, and was caught more than once, and gradually, she was cold-eyed."

There was a whisper of discussion around, most of them saying that the girl in the book was ignorant.

"Once she stole valuables, was caught by the subordinates, sent to the old lady, was punished in public, and was beaten by the family law, she didn't want to be at fault first, and held a grudge against the rich family, and once she had the opportunity to slander the reputation of the family that raised her outside, and later, the rich family's kindness was not rewarded, and seeing that the girl was stubborn, she was ruthlessly driven out of the house."

Hearing this, some people in the water pavilion couldn't help but scold, but it was the Duchess of Yasukuni who hated it clearly:

"Good thing, such a wolf-hearted thing!"

Xue Guifei persuaded without being salty: "The old lady continues to listen, but she hasn't finished talking yet." ”

Rui Zizhu licked her lips and continued:

"Niangniang foresight, this story is not over here, who of you would have thought that after the girl was expelled from the house, she would have good luck, have a smooth journey, and make friends with nobles, but now, it is beautiful outside. And that rich family, more or less because of this girl, has since the family declined, and finally ended up with a broken flesh and blood and a dilapidated end - they all say that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, who would think that God will have a time to close his eyes. ”

When everyone heard her say this, they all heard strange, and it was the Duchess of Yasukuni who first asked:

"Hey, Zizhu girl, listening to what you said, is it possible that this is not a compiled book, or is it a real thing?"

"This is indeed a true thing, don't hide it from the old lady, just the girl who will take revenge is now living in the capital." Rui Zizhu said it in one breath, sweating on her forehead and dry mouth.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was shocked. Only Xue Guifei played with the red gold champas, and her face did not change.

"Nonsense," Concubine Shu frowned, and asked sternly: "Are you talking about it, or are you pretending to be false, there are really people, you should make it clear now, otherwise this palace will ask you for a lie." ”

Rui Zizhu grabbed the sleeve of her shirt with one hand, hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but turn around, glanced at the crowd, and just met Yu Shu's cold eyes, her heart was shocked, and she couldn't raise her hand to identify it, so she had to avoid her sight, bowed her head and said:

"I only know that the girl's life is cheap, and there is not one in thousands of people, commonly known as shit life."

"Poof", some people laughed, because the three words "shit life" were too vulgar.

The atmosphere eased slightly, and I heard a surprise -

"Shit life, you say?"

When everyone heard the sound, they saw a beautiful girl, who looked like she was making a fuss, but this person was Zhan Xueyuan, who had a big holiday with Yu Shu, and now Taicheng Si Qipin Zhan Ji.

Concubine Shu was displeased and said, "What are you shouting?" ”

Zhan Xueyuan stepped forward in a panic and spoke, "Niangniang forgive the sin, the little minister Zhan, I just lost my honor, it is really my first junior official of Si Tianjian, a few days ago I checked the book, and I happened to see a woman with a cheap life, which is the shit that Miss Rui said." Xiao Chen was surprised, just because this person was here tonight. ”

Concubine Shu's expression was clear, and she said coldly: "Who is it, you identify it." ”

Yu Shu clasped his sleeves with both hands, looked straight ahead, and a storm was brewing under his dark eyes, ready to go.

"It's this year's Dayan female operator, Yu Shu." (To be continued.) )
