Chapter 326: Fighting for Qi and Douyan (II)

Flourish? Fighting for Qi and Douyan? Everyone came with interest and looked at Shu Yao expectantly.

Like Chen Yueying, it is natural that there are many people who wait to see Shu Yao make a fool of themselves, but there are also some people who really want to see the talent of this Qi County Lord, and some people really want to watch Shu Yao play for a while. can save the emperor's kung fu, and these people in the inner courtyard don't have a chance to see it.

Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er secretly applauded, and Chen Yueying, a stupid girl, occasionally had times when she was "smart".

Especially Sima Yan, I just want to run over and hug Chen Yueying, "Zhengqi Douyan"? Great, just use these four words, after this banquet is over, she will let people spread this good story of "fighting for Qi and Douyan" all over the capital, no, but also throughout the Great Zhou.

What about luck? What if you have a stepfather and a brother to protect you? She Sima Yan just wants to rely on her own strength and talent to compete with this Qi County Lord, fight, and let everyone and Qi Haoning see who is the real famous and noble? Who is worthy of the word noble?

However, Xia Shuyao's identity is there, and she is the new favorite of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, she must come forward to "maintain" it: "The ability of the County Lord of Qi is naturally unique, but everyone has seen that the clothes of the County Lord of Qi today are not very convenient, why not talk about it next time?" Today is a plum blossom feast, not a competition, everyone who is interested can show themselves, learn from each other, and everyone is also lively. ”

Seeing that Sima Yan came out in time to play a round, Mrs. Prince An Guo breathed a sigh of relief, the current Lianghou Mansion is not easy to offend, not to mention that the county lord of Qi has just made a great contribution. Even for the sake of royal decency, they didn't dare to force the county lord of Qi to perform martial arts in public, right? For everyone's ladies, that's rude after all. Undignified.

Chen Yueying was not happy. He moved his lips and was about to say something more. Mrs. Chen hurriedly grabbed her, and Ma Ling'er also glared at her warningly. Just now you praised her for being smart occasionally, so soon she was confused again? If you see it, you will accept it, and if you don't know the way, you can't do it?

swept away the disdainful or regretful reactions of everyone present, Liu's mother's eyes darkened, these people think that her sister has no talent to do anything except fight?

Shu Yao's face was still silent, and she was secretly amused in her heart, this is the purpose of Lord Yan inviting her to the plum blossom banquet today, right? It seems that she can't keep a low profile today. This is not a question of whether he has face or not, but also affects the reputation of the Lianghou Mansion. Also, Liu's mother said that in what identity you have, you must have a posture in your identity, and blindly low-key will only make people despise yourself.

"Than what?" A Mrs. Li, who had a very good relationship with Yao Xuelan, came over and said with a smile, "I heard Mrs. Mu say that the Lord of Qi is good at Go, and the Marquis of Weiyuan feels that he is not the opponent of the Lord of Qi, so who of you wants to compete with the Lord of Qi to play Go?" She had been talking to a few ladies about her children on the other side, and she saw that the atmosphere here was suddenly a little wrong. He walked over and listened to a few words, frowning. That third girl of the Chen Mansion is not good at everything, and she is embarrassed to provoke people?

Everyone listened to Mrs. Li's words, and their hearts were shocked, who in the capital didn't know the chess skills of Mu Yongqi, the prince of Weiyuan, and the lord of Qi was actually better than Qi Shizi? It seems that the Lord of Qi is not as simple as it seems on the surface! They invariably thought of what Nangong Miao, the wife of the Marquis of Yongping, surprised everyone back then.

Qi Yuexin, who had been silent for a long time, said coolly: "Really? It's a pity that none of you here are good at Go, and there is no way to confirm it. ”

Mrs. Li frowned, what do you mean? Meaning she is talking nonsense?

Concubine Zhao also changed her face, and her baby daughter was open-mouthed, and she was going to offend a large area.

Sure enough, Sima Yan, Ma Ling'er, and a few female guests frowned, unhappy. The women of the family have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but there are really not many top-notch Go. frowned and expressed displeasure, especially Sima Yan, who happened to be one of the few outstanding among them.

However, no one dared to stand up and take the initiative to ask Ying to compete with the county lord of Qi, because they were not as self-righteous as Qi Yuexin, and no matter how good Mrs. Li's friendship with Yao Xuelan was, she would never dare to belittle the prince of Qi in order to help the county lord of Qi round the field. And they asked themselves, they are definitely not Qi Shizi's opponents, they all have one or two brothers or cousins with superb chess skills, and even elders have been defeated by Qi Shizi.

Sima Yan was very unwilling, but she was not sure, if she really lost to Xia Shuyao, wasn't the four words she just now wasted? Xia Shuyao is in the limelight, and if she wins herself in Go at this time, wouldn't she help her preach it in vain, and what will be rumored in the capital tomorrow is not her own plum blossom font, but "the county lord of Qi, both civil and military".

At this time, Shu Yao spoke: "Mrs. Li is overrated, it's just that Brother Qi let me." The county lord of Yan also said just now that today is a plum blossom banquet, not a competition, it is a performance, it is naturally a person, and the county lord is happy to have fun. However, it just so happens that the county lord also wants to write a few words, and it takes time, so why don't you also ask the two sisters to perform two shows during this time? Seeing that Miss Chen San is very interested, why don't you be the first one? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then digested Shu Yao's words, Lord Qi also wants to write? Don't "play", and don't play Go with someone? Everyone's interest is here again, and it's a wonderful day.

Most people are looking forward to Shu Yao's performance, and some people are worried about her, even if she really writes a good hand, with the strange plum blossom-like font of Lord Yan in front, she can't be brilliant and pleased, right? If it were them, they would directly invite Lord Yan to play chess by name. In that way, even if the four words of the county lord Yan are brilliant, the county lord of Qi will beat her in Go, and it will be regarded as a draw.

Sima Yan obviously thought the same way, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that this Xia Shuyao was still not smart enough, and she didn't know how to use it when she put a favorable situation.

As the master, she naturally cooperated with Shu Yao's request: "Great, Ansi, hurry up and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Lord Qi." Miss Chen San, you see, the county lord of Qi performed at your suggestion, should you also respond to the request of the county lord of Qi? Everyone is just lively, don't be too nervous. ”

Everyone present turned to Chen Yueying, she secretly complained, but she didn't expect Xia Shuyao to really agree to perform, and directly pulled her into the water. Chen Yueying prides herself on being a scholar, but she is spoiled by Mrs. Chen. Although I have learned everything since I was a child. But none of them are as good. So in various gatherings, as soon as I encounter the talent show session, I step back. Today, I was overwhelmed by jealousy, and I was bent on Lord Yan, and it was rare to call for a battle, and I never wanted to call myself in.

However, at this moment, this situation can no longer allow her to retreat, otherwise she will not have to come out to meet people in the future. Gritting her teeth and agreeing to perform the zheng, Chen Yueying thought. As long as you don't play the zither music wrongly, you won't make a big mistake, and you will pass it after listening to it. Writing is different, you can taste it for a long time when it is placed there, she must be good-looking Xia Shuyao.

An Si prepared two pieces of red paper for writing couplets according to Shu Yao's request, and An Nian also asked the little maid to bring the kite.

Lan Jin and Zijin escorted Shu Yao to the high platform for writing, she didn't understand, Sima Yan writes, and likes to let people build a high platform for everything? Today is like this, in the previous life, he was a guest in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. The same is required.

Zijin is okay, it has always been steady and introverted. Stealing fun is not visible to others. Lan Jin was so proud, his head was full of the embarrassed face of Lord Yan for a while, and he wanted to laugh very much, so he had to hang his head slightly and hold it hard.

They all saw the four words of Lord Yan just now, and others were amazed, they had been with Shu Yao for a long time, but they really couldn't look down on it. Lan Jin really wanted to hit the county lord of Yan: the words written by our county lord Qi around the age of ten are much better than these words.

Shu Yao unfolded the red paper, thought about it for a while, and began to pick up the pen......

At the same time, Chen Yueying also began to play, and she chose the simplest and most error-prone song. There is another reason, this piece is relatively short, and when she finishes playing, no one will continue to perform, and everyone will feel very slow and impatient when they wait for Xia Shuyao to write.

The writing platform is relatively high, and in the process of writing, the people under the platform can't see what to write, which is why Sima Yan likes to write on the high platform. But today, she regretted that she had set up a high platform. She read Shu Yao's writing posture and movements, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

No, how is that possible? Sima Yan decisively denied her speculation. Mother Hua said that the plum blossom small character calligraphy is almost extinct in this world, even the rubbings will not exceed ten (Sima Yan's hand is the rubbing, only two-thirds). In the past few years, she has also spent a lot of money looking everywhere, but she can't even find a single one, and the few copies she secretly heard about are also in famous families, let alone selling, it is impossible to show her a look.

Moreover, judging from the movements in her hands, Xia Shuyao's writing is obviously quite fast. Plum blossom small characters can be different from ordinary fonts, but half written and half drawn, if Xia Shuyao really writes plum blossom characters, how can it be written so fast?

Sima Yan gradually put her mind at ease, only to find out that Chen Yueying was playing a song for beginners to practice, which ...... It's too embarrassing, isn't it?

Sima Yan glanced at Ma Ling'er with some sympathy, but saw that Ma Ling'er's pretty face was already red. sighed secretly, this sincere Bofu is a scholarly family, why did he have such a concubine? No wonder I can only go and make a continuation for people who are more than ten years older than me. However, he still lost the face of the Ma family.

Seeing that many people around her were shaking their heads and whispering, Mrs. Chen almost wanted to find a hole to get into. Although Chen Yueying's Zheng skills are not very good, she doesn't want to play such a shallow tune, right? It's over, and the word spreads out, and the face of the sincerity Bofu will be lost. Mrs. Chen can already imagine the dark face of the sincere uncle, since Chen Yueying fell into the water in the Ma Mansion, and then married the eighth master of the Ma family, the uncle has always had a black face, and rarely comes to her yard.

The funny thing is that Chen Yueying didn't know it yet, and smiled brightly in the direction of Shu Yao after playing the tune, she had completed the task, and she could watch Xia Shuyao make a fool of her with peace of mind.

As soon as she returned to her position, Mrs. Li's youngest daughter, the ten-year-old girl of the Li Mansion, walked to the Zheng and saluted everyone: "Jing'er is ugly, and I also play a song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" for all ladies and sisters.

There was a round of applause...... Someone unceremoniously said, "Yes, this is the performance." ”

Chen Yueying realized that when she finished playing just now, there was no applause at all, and when she saw Mrs. Chen and Ma Ling'er's faces without a trace of smiles, she began to feel that something was wrong.

She didn't know what to say, Ma Ling'er had already decided at this time that she would remind her grandfather and eighth uncle after she went back, and forbade Chen Yueying to go out again to embarrass people. Fortunately, the Ma family is not separated, and the eighth uncle is not the eldest son, after they get married, Chen Yueying only needs to take care of her own yard, she doesn't need to socialize, otherwise the Ma family's face will be lost by her sooner or later. Ma Ling'er now regrets that she matched Eighth Uncle and Chen Yueying.

The fourth girl of the Li family was only ten years old, but she began to learn Zheng at the age of three, and she was very talented. After Chen Yueying's song, everyone listened to the little girl's "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" and sighed, "My ears are comfortable", "This is enjoyment", "The world is different!" ”……

Chen Yueying couldn't care about Shu Yao's jokes anymore at the moment, her face first turned red, and then turned pale after hearing those sighs.

She hates Xia Shuyao to death, if it's not Xia Shuyao, how could she be forced to play? She hates the four girls of the Li Mansion to death, what are you doing to show off behind her? Isn't it good to play?

The four girls of the Li Mansion played a song, and applause broke out. The little girl stood up and saluted, and looked at her mother obediently. Mrs. Li caught a glimpse of Shu Yao stopping her pen, smiled at her daughter and nodded, and the little girl walked happily towards her mother. If Sister Shu Yao hadn't finished writing and no one was performing, she would perform the newly learned dance with her cousin.

A group of guests had just woken up from the beautiful music, and when they saw that the county lord of Qi had put down their pens, they immediately looked at it intently, but they did not see the two maids of the county lord of Qi moving.

Suddenly, I saw Shu Yao throw out two couplets, and then a few silver lights flashed......

The astonished crowd had not yet comprehended the situation in front of them, and the couplet had been firmly and neatly fixed to the trunks of the two adjacent trees.

Everyone didn't care to think about how Lord Qi did it, because they were surprised to find that the words on the couplet were also in the shape of plum blossoms, but they were much better than the four characters that Lord Yan had just written.

The four girls of the Li family read excitedly: "The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the plum blossoms report the new year." What a beautiful word, it seems that the plum blossom has fallen on the trunk of the tree, Sister Shuyao, is this couplet for Jing'er. ”

Mrs. Anguo Gongzi, who came back to her senses the fastest, instinctively wanted to open her mouth to refuse, such a beautiful word, and it was the true handwriting of the county lord of Qi, so it should stay in Anguo Mansion.

Before she could speak, Shu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, wait a while, everyone will finish reading, Sister Shu Yao will ask Lan Jin to take it down and bring it back for you." ”

Except for Jing'er, who cheered excitedly, and Mrs. Shizi, who was depressed, everyone else was still in shock and did not wake up.

Sima Yan is completely stupid, how is it possible? Xia Shuyao really knows plum blossom small characters, and writes better and faster than her. It took her five programs to write four words, but Xia Shuyao only spent one and a half programs (Chen Yueying's short song can only be regarded as half a program) to write a whole couplet. Also, how did that couplet get to the tree? (To be continued......)
