Chapter 53: The Contest I (Bubble_Mohe's Bi+)
"Mrs. Xu Sima, I can be regarded as waiting for you." Mu Yelai stepped forward with a smile and saluted, while deliberately looking behind Fang Yuniang, "Isn't there four young ladies in Sima Mansion, why are there only two?" ”
Du Hengshuang glanced at Mu Yelai with some surprise.
The complexion is snow-white, the eye sockets are slightly sunken, but the eyes are deep and dark, the nose is straight, and the lips are well-defined, which are thicker than the girls in the Central Plains, but they are plump and soft, and they have a unique style.
He is also very tall, only slightly shorter than himself.
The Mu family migrated from Anxi, and the women in the family are a little exotic.
Du Hengshuang looked carefully, while listening to Fang Yuniang's greetings with the little lady, "The second and fourth ladies of our family just happened to be infected with the wind cold, so they couldn't get up, they couldn't come to the banquet, and they looked at Mu Hou and Mrs. Haihan." Then he asked, "May I ask ...... you?" ”
Mu Yelai smiled coquettishly and made an elegant gesture, "I am the daughter of Mu Houye, the third in line, everyone in the family calls me to come at night, and Mrs. will call me to come at night." ”
It turned out to be the third lady of the Mu family.
Du Hengshuang nodded secretly in his heart. She heard Fang Yuniang talk about some of the situation of the Mu family, and knew that these three young ladies were more special among the daughters of the Mu family, and they were originally from the second grandmother, but they were recorded in the name of the grandmother, and they were pampered like the concubines. It's no wonder that between the gestures, there is no ordinary concubine cowering, but the eyes of people are always a little evasive. When you look over, her eyes slip away again, and she looks as if nothing happened.
Mu Yelai felt that Du Hengshuang's scrutinizing gaze kept falling on him, and his heart sank. didn't dare to look at her secretly out of the corner of his eye, and smiled and led the daughter of the Xu family into the second gate.
When you come to the middle hall of Muhou Mansion, you will see a huge picture of a white tiger descending from the mountain, which is majestic and majestic, and a fierce intention comes to your face.
"The Muhou family is worthy of being born in the Anxi royal family, looking at the style of this middle hall, where is the Hou Mansion, it is said to be the Prince's Mansion, I don't think it can compare to the grandeur here." Everyone said kind words and took their seats.
Muhou's wife, Cao, sat on the top seat. Constant follow-up greetings from guests. Standing beside his own eldest daughter Mu Yege, greeting guests with her.
Seeing Mu Yelai walking in with Fang Yuniang, followed by two outstanding-looking girls, Cao's eyes narrowed. The smile on his face became more and more dignified.
"Mrs. Muhou is well." Fang Yuniang bowed.
Cao heard that it was Xu Sima's wife. Get up and respond accordingly. "Madame, take a seat."
Fang Yuniang's identity is here except for the Cao family. is also one of the best, so he deservedly sat in the first seat.
After everyone finished talking here, a mother-in-law came to invite everyone to the banquet.
The banquet of the autumn banquet was placed in the back garden of Muhou Mansion.
One of the boxy green meadows, separated by several one-person-high interstitial screens, the men on the left and the women on the right, sat on both sides.
On the left and right sides of the screen, countless seasonal melons and fruits are placed on a long table. The golden sliced cantaloupe, the bright red sand watermelon with a small silver skewer, and the peeled pears were neatly stacked in the silver tray. There are also bright green grapes, green and white gourds, purple and red jujubes, and red apples, all of which have a unique Anxi flavor.
Du Hengxue loves to eat melons and fruits. When I saw the things on this long table, I couldn't stop smiling.
Du Hengshuang laughed softly: "These things are cold, don't eat too much, be careful of hurting your spleen and stomach." ”
Du Hengxue retracted her eyes embarrassedly, sat between Fang Yuniang and Du Hengshuang, honestly watched the adults staggered, ate a few pieces of rouge roast goose, and put down the chopsticks and stopped eating.
Besides, who came to the autumn feast couldn't get enough to eat?
After three rounds of drinking, Mrs. Muhou got up and said with a smile: "Our customs in Anxi, during the autumn banquet, we should be optimistic about the Erlang archery competition." Whoever can shoot the most apples will be the champion of the autumn feast! ”
"What is the good fortune of the champion of this autumn banquet?"
"Color? In addition to the 1,000 taels of gold taken out by Muhou Mansion, there are other benefits. The champion of the autumn banquet will generally have a smooth life, marry a wishful wife, and have a full house of children and grandchildren! ”
Some of the people here are not participating in the autumn banquet of the nine surnames of Zhao Mu for the first time. These people still remember the autumn banquet in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion back then.
Hearing this, someone pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully: "Just know what to do." The Marquis of An Guo back then was also the champion of the autumn banquet, you see him now, not to mention the difference in his head, where is there a full house of children and grandchildren? - In the entire An family, there is only one son left, and this son is still a murderer who killed his father......"
"You don't want to die? That kid is now the generalissimo of King Qi's vanguard. As long as Hedong County is defeated, you can destroy the last elite army of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou...... It no longer exists. When the time comes, no matter how much you talk and talk more, I don't think you will be able to save your head. Someone next to her whispered a warning to her.
Du Hengshuang sat next to him and heard this, and glanced at them quickly.
The two seemed to sense that someone was watching them, so they stopped the conversation and raised their glasses to taste the fine wine of Muhou Mansion.
A few men came over and removed the interstitial screen in the middle of the meadow, and moved the long table to the edge of the lawn, leaving the center of the whole meadow empty.
At the southernmost end of the meadow, a long white curtain was raised. Then, a foot to the north, eight arrow targets were inserted. The target further north, about a long distance, was placed in a pitcher with four small mouths and large bodies.
Du Hengshuang watched with interest, not knowing what trick they were going to make.
Mu Yelai endured it for a long time before he felt that the time had come, and walked over with a plate of sliced cantaloupe and a watermelon with a small silver stick, put it in front of Du Hengxue and Du Hengshuang, and said with a smile: "I saw that this little lady had been staring at the table over there, and I thought it was inconvenient for you to pick it up, so I personally sent it to you." ”
Du Hengxue was really overjoyed, thanked again and again, and then couldn't wait to twist a piece of cantaloupe and eat it, and when she was happy, she squinted her eyes with a sigh, like a greedy little gluttonous cat.
When Du Hengshuang saw it, she couldn't bear to blame her. took out a handkerchief and put it on Du Hengxue's chest, so as not to drip the melon juice on the clothes he had just changed today.
Mu Ye was amazed.
Such a deep sisterhood is definitely not pretended to be seen by outsiders.
But later, why did the two sisters become strangers to that point? Especially this older sister......
Before Du Hengxue died in the previous life, she had posted to the Xiao family several times, saying that she wanted to visit, but Du Hengshuang ignored it without a trace.
It wasn't until later that Du Hengxue was gone, and Du Hengshuang never went to Du Hengxue's husband's house to mourn.
Why did the two sisters turn against each other?
Mu Yelai lifted his cheeks. Sitting opposite Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue. The scrutinizing gaze turned between Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue.
"Miss Mu San, thank you for your hospitality." Du Hengshuang said with a smile, with a sense of alienation in his voice.
Du Hengxue nodded again and again, "Miss Mu San." Your melons are delicious. It's very different from what you sell in the market. It's not the same as what we put out in Zhuangzi. ”
Mu Yelai said proudly: "That's nature. The melons and fruits of our family's autumn banquet were all transported from Anxi. Compared with the melons and fruits of the Central Plains, it is not bad! ”
Du Hengxue praised in surprise: "Really? Then you are blessed. After speaking, he said childishly: "If I were you." Never move to the Central Plains. Even if it's for these melons and fruits, I can't bear it. He giggled.
On the side of the men's seat, Xu Yanbang heard Du Hengxue's laughter, his eyes moved over, and he refused to leave for a long time.
Du Hengshuang noticed that Xu Yanbang was looking at Du Hengxue, and was slightly unhappy, so he moved the stool to the side, blocking Xu Yanbang's sight.
Xu Yanbang snorted and said to his eldest brother Xu Yanhui: "The one who is the sister is really hateful." ”
Xu Yanhui glanced at it, smiled and didn't speak, and said to the son-in-law next to him: "Wait for the archery competition, will you participate?" ”
The boy said with a bitter face: "Can I say no?" I knew that Lu Dao came to this banquet, and he had to shoot arrows, and he wouldn't come to kill me! Is it bad to eat and drink at home? I want to come here to find sin. ”
An Zichang wore a beautiful blue brocade robe embroidered with red dahlias, leaning on the bed leisurely, holding a glass of amber wine in his hand, lingering for a long time, and did not drink a drop.
He was already handsome, and he was dressed so eye-catchingly, that the eyes of the girls at the women's table flew over one after another.
Anzi often didn't care, and occasionally gave back a smile that seemed to be nothing, which caused a burst of exclamations on the banquet over there, and from time to time a girl blushed and held her cheeks and shouted, "It's too hot."
Seeing An Zichang like this, many young masters and sons had already automatically moved two feet away from him, so as not to be miserable by him.
Someone was complaining in a whisper, and the white curtain was ready to stop.
I saw four Anxi girls, dressed in tight clothes and trousers, standing in front of the white cloth curtain.
Each of them had an apple on the top of his head and on his outstretched arm.
Bang dang!
When the gong sounded, Mu Houye stood in the middle and loudly announced, "The autumn banquet archery competition has officially begun!" ”
Then he preached the method of today's autumn banquet competition.
It turned out that there were three rounds of competition.
In the first round, the arrow cluster was tested. Throw the pot with the tail of a feathered arrow, not an arrowhead. The young master of the young master present drew lots to make eight groups, and each group saw who threw more arrows at a time, and whoever won won and entered the second round.
In the second round, the archery target was tested. Each person has four arrows, which are shot at the four arrow targets, to see who shoots the most accurately, and the four people who shoot the most accurately enter the last round.
In the third round, the competition shot the apples on the heads and arms of the four Anthy girls. If you are not sure about your archery, you can announce your abstention and give up the competition. Otherwise, it is always bad to shoot and injure the subordinates of the master's family.
Du Hengshuang felt that the third round of the competition was still interesting, and he became enthusiastic.
The man began to draw lots and group groups in a chaotic manner, and suddenly heard someone report loudly: "Second Young Master Qi Yi of King Qi has arrived!" Chang'an Xiao Shi has arrived! ”
