Chapter 435: Invincible
But then the young lady danced with her fingers against these ten little wine Gus, and all the way down, none of the little wine Gu standing on her fingers fell. One couldn't help but wonder if the ten wine Gu had stuck to her fingers in some way.
It was only then that the young lady's actions proved that this idea was wrong, she threw ten wine Gu into the air in one go, and then changed her fingers with dazzling movements, and caught these little wine Gu with the gap between her fingers, and none of them fell to the ground from beginning to end, and the movements were so fast that it was impossible to see how she did it. Everyone present couldn't help but exclaim, and even the old princess cheered up and watched with relish.
After the last moment, the young lady waved her two water sleeves, and the ten wine Gu suddenly disappeared again, and then with both hands, a large bowl appeared on the ground in both hands, and the bowl actually contained eight points full of tea. I don't know how she did it, if this big bowl of tea was just hidden by her in her wide sleeves, how could she not sprinkle it at all after a move? Everyone present once again exclaimed in amazement at the sub-miraculous skill.
The young lady smiled sweetly, went to the stage with the bowl in both hands, and then handed it to Ren Yaoqi: "Mr. Ren, please drink tea." Although she was smiling, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if she was saying that you dare to drink this bowl of tea in my hand?
Ren Yaochi naturally didn't want to drink this bowl of things that didn't know the origin of the Dao, but if she loses, she still took the tea bowl from the young lady's hand with a smile, lowered her head and smelled it was an ordinary incense piece, and the tea was still steaming. She was about to say a few words to send away the young lady who was still staring at her, but Xiao Jinglin got up and walked over, pretending to be curious, and couldn't help but take the tea bowl in her hand: "It seems to be magical, let me try it." ”
Ren Yaochi thought that she wanted to drink what she said, and was about to stop it, but she saw Xiao Jinglin learning the movements of the young lady who had just done tricks, and the tea bowl that was still in her hand just now disappeared immediately. Everyone was stunned when they saw this. Then they all cheered for Xiao Jinglin.
The young lady who conjugated the trick had a slightly unsightly face: "County Lord, that bowl is my family heirloom, please return it to me." "Where in this world are there any spells, her tricks look mysterious and dazzling, and they only rely on a few seemingly simple instruments.
Xiao Jinglin raised her eyes, then smiled quietly, and suddenly she flicked her sleeves like this girl before, although her sleeves were not as wide as this young lady, and they didn't look so good, but they still made the people present amazed. Because the ten wine Gu that suddenly disappeared in his hand suddenly appeared in Xiao Jinglin's hand.
Xiao Jinglin gave her the ten wine Gu expressionlessly: "Hmm." Give it back to you, I'll help you turn it back! ”
Miss Trickster: "......"
You didn't conjure it, you stole it from me! She said sadly in her heart. It's a pity that Xiao Jinglin has gone straight back to her seat and restored her noble and cold-eyed county lord style, and she didn't pay attention to her at all.
Later, when the young lady stepped down, she was so angry that her eyes were red.
No one noticed that Xiao Jinglin winked at Ren Yaochi after sitting down, and only Ren Yaochi could see the pleasure in her eyes after playing tricks.
Xiao Jinglin thought, let you take out a broken bowl to show off, and dare to force people to drink anything and find a beating!
These people probably think that Lord Xiao is too boring. The fourth and fifth ladies performed archery and sword dance, and the one who shot the arrow always missed the target, but the sword dancer finished the dance smoothly, and it was very pleasing to the eye. It's just that when I put on a beautiful closing posture and wanted to ask "Mr. Ren" for teaching, my shoes flew and I made a big red face.
Starting from the sixth lady, she finally returned to Wendou.
Miss Li, who appeared in the sixth place, is painting, probably due to the influence of Kyoto's customs, and these ladies like to write and draw with some eye-catching gimmicks. This Miss Li naturally refused to paint well, she put two blank screens, and started work with her left and right hands at the same time. While dancing and painting two paintings at the same time, he completed a picture of flowers and birds and a picture of snow in a very short time, and the painting was not bad. However, all art pays attention to a pure state of mind, and if there are too many miscellaneous patterns, it is easy to lose the authenticity, and it is inevitable to paint with such a mentality, and it is inevitable that there will be a little more ingenuity and a little less aura.
Ren Yaoqi, as Ren Shimin's daughter, followed Pei Zhiyan and immersed herself in appreciation for many years, her vision is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and she made a detailed comment on Miss Li's paintings without those tricks. As long as you know how to paint and appreciate, you can see from Ren Yaoqi's comments on Miss Li's paintings that she really has some ability, and even several older ladies who are very interested in painting sitting with Mrs. Xu really appreciate this "Mr. Ren".
The people who were originally waiting to see Ren Yaoqi's jokes were silent at this moment. No wonder Yanbei Wangfu dared to use the young Ren Yaoqi as a gentleman. If the people who participated in the daughter's banquet today were all the ladies of Yanbei, Ren Yaoqi's outstanding performance might be speculated that Yanbei Wangfu deliberately built momentum for her to marry into the palace, but the people named "Mr. Ren" today were all sent by the Queen Mother to demolish Yanbei Wangfutai, and no one would suspect that Ren Yaoqi had "communicated" with these people in advance, and they had real skills.
The seventh Miss Tan and the eighth Miss Zhuang appeared together, Miss Tan is good at chanting poems and doing it right, Miss Zhuang is good at arranging and singing, Miss Tan asked several gentlemen to make questions, she wrote poems on the spot, and Miss Zhuang was responsible for arranging and singing. Miss Tan's quick thinking, Miss Zhuang's voice is soft and clear, this pair is very well matched, which is refreshing.
Ren Yaoqi is not very good at reciting poems, but she didn't read less and learned less when she followed Pei Dishi's reading, and she still knew how to comment on poems and songs with a few words that sounded very profound. In addition, she performed well before, and her expression remained calm and confident from beginning to end, which gave people the illusion of omnipotence, so after she finished commenting, everyone didn't feel anything wrong, but fortunately, she only let her comment, and did not let her compose poems on the spot to compete with Miss Tan.
After the first eight ladies finished playing, only Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu remained.
Everyone was attracted by the fighting methods of these Kyoto beauties and Ren Yaoqi, and the ladies in Yanbei who came to participate in the golden banquet became decorations, and they hurriedly stepped off the stage after going through the motions. Everyone knows that the finale of the road is to be put at the end, so when it was the turn of the two ladies at the end, everyone present cheered up and watched the battle.
Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu glanced at each other, and Zhao Yingqiu got up to fight first.
At this moment, someone came up and whispered a few words into the princess's ear. The princess seemed to be a little surprised when she heard this, she thought about it and nodded, and then smiled at everyone: "A few adults sent by the imperial court have arrived, although there have never been men attending our daughter's banquet in Yanbei, but these adults are all highly respected elders with high talents, and they represent the imperial court and the queen mother, and there is nothing wrong with attending." ”
When the princess said this, naturally no one dared to have an opinion.
The three adults were quickly led over, except for Pei Zhiyan, who was walking behind, the other two adults were a little embarrassed.
The several grandmothers sent by the Queen Mother were anxious when they saw that these ladies were defeated by Ren Yaoqi one by one. I had to invite a few adults to sit in town, for fear that the Yanbei Mansion would bully them by making small moves behind their backs. However, a few adults came to the women's pile and were a little uncomfortable.
The princess ordered the three adults to be arranged on the east side of the high platform, opposite Mrs. Xu and them.
After everyone sat down again, Zhao Yingqiu stepped forward and rushed to Ying Yingyifu, and said softly: "The little girl is only a shallow learner and has no ability, and if you think about it, she can get a little bit of chess skills." Her gaze swept over the faces of everyone on the stage, and finally stopped on Ren Yaoqi's face, and said with a little apology in her eyes, "I wonder if 'Mr. Ren' can accompany the little girl to play a game?" ”
Generally speaking, if the ladies want to show their chess skills at the golden banquet, there will also be gentlemen who are good at chess to play against them. Since Ren Yaochi has become a gentleman, it is understandable for Zhao Yingqiu to challenge her, unless Ren Yaochi admits that he is not good at chess and takes the initiative to admit defeat.
However, Ren Yaoqi is now put in front of the stage by the Yanbei Palace. Naturally, they will not easily admit defeat. It's just that there is no definite number of wins or losses when playing chess, Ren Yaochi doesn't know the depth of this Miss Zhao, so naturally she will not be arrogant enough to think that she can really beat the invincible opponents in the world. But she's not afraid to lose.
Ren Yaoqi got up and bowed politely towards Zhao Yingqiu. Walk towards the chessboard. When she walked to the princess's side, the princess smiled and said to her: "You just relax and go down, and there is no shame in losing." After all, no one can be an all-rounder. ”
Ren Yaochi nodded, answered yes, and then sat opposite Zhao Yingqiu.
The two guessed, and Zhao Yingqiu took the sunspot first.
Ren Yaoqi observed Zhao Yingqiu's path while thinking about it slowly. Judging from the beginning, Zhao Yingqiu is a middle and high master among the women who can play chess, and she can't see the number of roads, and even some of them are casual in playing a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, which makes people unable to fight back.
Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi is a very calm temperament, she has played against many real masters in the world, such as Pei Zhiyan, such as Xiao Jingxi, especially Pei Zhiyan, when Mr. Pei was belittled, when he had nothing to do all day, the two of them put on a game from time to time, and it was half a day.
So regardless of whether Zhao Yingqiu did this deliberately to disrupt the opponent's train of thought, Ren Yaoqi was unmoved.
The two played a cup of tea with such a salty and indifferent game, Zhao Yingqiu was not in a hurry, and Ren Yaoqi was not in a hurry. The crowd, who was expecting a wonderful duel killing, was about to doze off.
Just when everyone thought that this battle would be carried out so salty and indifferent, Zhao Yingqiu's chess style suddenly changed, and after a few falls, the situation was turned upside down in an instant, and the chess pieces in the lower left position of Ren Yaoqi were almost wiped out.
The people present suddenly perked up, some sighed in disappointment, and some secretly cheered for Zhao Yingqiu. There are also people who think that there is really no all-rounder, and Ren Yaoqi is not top-notch in everything, and they can't help but feel some comfort in their hearts.
On the contrary, Ren Yaoqi, who had lost half of the city, still had a calm and indifferent complexion, and even her chess path did not change because of this, she was still not salty, not indifferent, and did not mess up because of Zhao Yingqiu's sudden confrontation.
As a result, Zhao Yingqiu couldn't maintain the sharpness of the attack. The game between the two slowed down again, and Ren Yaochi regained the lost ground step by step by herself, although the speed was slow, the rhythm was controlled by her.
Zhao Yingqiu couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaoqi: "Miss Ren is so determined." ”
Ren Yaoqi smiled at her when she heard this, and left her son unhurriedly.
In fact, at this time, Ren Yaoqi pondered Zhao Yingqiu's chess path several times in her heart, Zhao Yingqiu didn't move fine, just now when she made a game and ate half of her country, Ren Yaoqi always felt that Zhao Yingqiu's chess path had an inexplicable strange sense of familiarity.
She hadn't figured it out at first, so she deliberately gave up her lower left corner to see Zhao Yingqiu's path clearly, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. Because Zhao Yingqiu's chess style is very similar to Pei Zhiyan's. Ren Yaochi thought about it carefully, Zhao Yingqiu should have no relationship with the Pei family, so Zhao Yingqiu should have carefully studied Pei Zhiyan's chess game, and then learned Pei Zhiyan's chess style five or six points, for example, when she was making traps to lure the enemy, she learned that Pei Zhiyan's sword went off the rails and was unexpected, I have to say that Zhao Yingqiu is really smart, if it weren't for Ren Yaoqi being too familiar with his husband's way, it is very likely that he will be deceived by Zhao Yingqiu's tricks.
However, Zhao Yingqiu is not Pei Zhiyan after all, limited by her vision and experience, no matter how similar she is, she is just like it.
Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the chess game a few times. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. However, after looking at it a few times, he gradually became serious, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
Ren Yao's chess style is as calm as ever, even if she has a slight advantage. However, the situation did not go on like this, just when Ren Yaoqi was about to be defeated, suddenly her chess style changed, murderous, and decisive killing, Zhao Yingqiu was caught off guard by her. The rhythm was unconsciously disrupted by her, and she was accidentally pulled back by Ren Yaoqi.
In addition to Pei Zhiyan watching it with great interest, Mrs. Xu was also very stunned when she saw this, because the trick that Ren Yaoqi used to defeat Zhao Yingqiu just now was obviously the same killing move that Xiao Jingxi used to play against Pei Zhiyan when he was on the boat last time.
Ren Yaoqi calculated Xiao Jingxi's recruitment by ten. Zhao Yingqiu is not Pei Zhiyan after all. At that time, Pei Zhiyan gritted his teeth and resisted Xiao Jingxi's killing move, but Zhao Yingqiu couldn't resist Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi did use Xiao Jingxi's tricks, she just saw Zhao Yingqiu learning Pei Zhiyan's chess style, she thought of the game on the boat last time, and couldn't help but feel itchy palms. In addition, Ren Yaoqi knows Pei Zhiyan's path better than Xiao Jingxi. So in the traps laid by Zhao Yingqiu, she was like walking on the ground.
Next, Zhao Yingqiu was simply defeated, Ren Yaoqi was unwilling to drag out the battle, and used the most direct, simple and brutal method to kill Zhao Yingqiu without leaving a piece of armor. From this point of view. Ren Yaoqi should really be the daughter-in-law of the Yanbei Palace, it's not that the family doesn't enter the door, and the King of Yanbei should be relieved if he is present.
When the last one came out with a fierce killing move that didn't drag the mud and water, Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting at the top, tapped the table and shouted, "Okay!" ”
What kind of character is Pei Zhiyan? Illustrious background, young champion, the emperor's teacher, and a figure admired by students all over the world. He screamed out and gave Ren Yaoqi a big face, and the princess couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and smile.
In fact, what Pei Zhiyan wanted to express at that time was: What a good student to draw inferences from!
But this good voice has already been called, it doesn't matter what Pei Zhiyan wants to express, everyone just needs to know that Mr. Pei admires Miss Ren's talent and learning.
Zhao Yingqiu's face turned a little pale, she looked down at the chess game, smiled reluctantly, and admitted defeat.
Zhao Yingqiu went down, and the last one to play was Yan Ningshuang.
Yan Ningshuang's face was not very good, the Queen Mother sent ten ladies to Yanbei, but no one in the first nine took advantage, and the pressure on her to appear in the last one can be imagined. However, seeing Ren Yaoqi, who was standing on the stage with a sharp edge and accepting all kinds of appreciative glances, Yan Ningshuang bit her lip and stood up after taking a deep breath.
"What talent does Miss Yan want to show?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but ask when she saw Yan Ningshuang standing up empty-handed, and there was no maid to prepare musical instruments, paper and pens, etc.
Yan Ningshuang straightened her back and stood in the middle of the field, and said with a slight smile: "I'm comparing books." ”
"Books?"
The people present were a little curious when they heard this, Yan Ningshuang didn't hold a book in her hand, how can this "book" be compared?
Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi with her eyes, pointed to her head to everyone and said, "My books are all here, I have long heard that Miss Ren is well-read and knowledgeable, and I can't help but want to ask Miss Ren to teach me a thing or two." ”
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, this was too arrogant to speak to Miss Yan, and they even said that they had memorized all the books in their heads, and who else was more knowledgeable than Miss Ren?
Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Yan Ningshuang to compare with her, so she couldn't help asking, "How does Miss Yan want to compare?" ”
Yan Ningshuang seemed to have been prepared, and replied unhurriedly: "I will say a word at random, and Miss Ren will name the source." Miss Ren said a word, I pointed out the source, how about it? ”
This method is simple and direct, and it is relatively fair, but the person who can propose this competition method must have extremely strong confidence in himself, and Ren Yaochi is also a little curious about this Miss Yan's ability.
"But ......" Yan Ningshuang suddenly changed her words, and when everyone's attention turned to her, she smiled slightly, "But I still have a side bet, I don't know if Miss Ren dares to respond?" ”
Yan Ningshuang's words were undisguised and provocative, and everyone turned their heads to look at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi refused to be fooled, and smiled: "I only scored today, and I didn't participate in the competition." But everybody seems to have forgotten that.
Yan Ningshuang bent her lips, and her tone must have been a little disdainful: "You don't dare!" ”
Ren Yaochi was not annoyed, but said with some curiosity: "I don't know what bet Miss Yan wants to make?" ”
Yan Ningshuang glanced at her: "If you lose, follow me to Kyoto for three years!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the princess and Xiao Jinglin couldn't help frowning.
Ren Yaoqi also raised her eyebrows, this Miss Yan is really direct, everyone in the world knows that her relationship with Xiao Jingxi is scheduled for August, and following her to Kyoto is to make her regret her marriage? And it's not certain whether she can come back after she went to Kyoto!
The girl from Yanbei was unconvinced: "What if you lose?" ”
Yan Ningshuang smiled proudly: "If I lose, I will deal with her!" ”
Ren Yaochi shook his head with a smile and quipped: "Miss Yan, you are a distinguished guest sent by the Queen Mother, even if I win, I can't dispose of you at will." So you might as well just say that you want to invite me to my house. ”
Everyone heard the words and came back to their senses, Miss Yan really doesn't suffer a loss no matter whether she wins or loses! But who does she think she is? Why can she do whatever she wants?
Someone whispered and taunted below, "Didn't you wake up?" She thinks this is her garden! ”
Yan Ningshuang didn't believe that she would lose to Ren Yaoqi, so she didn't think much about it just now and said what she would do, not wanting to be said like this, so she couldn't help blushing a little.
At this time, the old princess sitting at the top spoke casually: "If you want to compare, don't you lose our Yanbei's face if you don't have this bit of guts?" ”
No one knows what the old princess's mentality was when she said this, but it was obvious that she agreed to the competition. The scene couldn't help but be quiet again, and everyone looked at the reaction of the princess and Ren Yaoqi.
The princess couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she heard this, and was about to speak, but Concubine Yun, who had been sitting on the side and had nothing to do with herself, spoke: "How can there be a reason for a gentleman to compete with a student?" This is the loss of Yanbei's face. It's not too early, Miss Yan can finish the show as soon as possible, and this golden banquet will end early. Princess, let's get started! ”
Concubine Yun said this sentence with an undoubted majesty with a faint face, suppressing the old princess's momentum, no matter how ugly the old princess's face was.
The old princess's face was red and white, and as soon as Concubine Yun came today, she swept her face three times and several times, so that she couldn't get off the stage in public. She wanted to have a seizure but couldn't pull this face, because there was no chance of winning to suppress Concubine Yun. The old princess almost couldn't get up in one breath.
Concubine Yun made a decision, and this farce was forced to end, although Yan Ningshuang was unwilling, she didn't dare to refute Concubine Yun, and even the old princess stopped talking.
Ren Yaochi looked up at Concubine Yun who relieved her with some surprise. Concubine Yun glanced at her, and then looked away lightly.
The princess glanced at Mrs. Xu, who stepped forward unhurriedly to announce the continuation of the event.
Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi and secretly swore in her heart that she would win this game no matter what.
(To be continued......)
