Chapter 4 Competition (2)
King Xinhua is the half-brother of His Majesty Li Huan, because of his merit from the dragon, and is a sharp blade of the emperor to balance the family, he has won the favor of the emperor, and he is also infinitely beautiful, and Li Zhiyan is the son of King Xinhua, and his status is self-evident.
The Wei Bo Mansion is much bleaker, although his ancestors have also contributed to the founding of the country, but the descendants are not as good as the generation, and they have done all the foolish things, and now they are in decline in the Xungui family. However, Liu Wan is gentle and generous, and she is also quite famous, but it is a pity that she has such a father who spoils his concubine and kills his wife, and her life is also very difficult!
These are all things that her grandmother and mother told her, and they seized the opportunity to say it when they could say it.
The person who arranged this competition was really painstaking, Li Zhiyan was already beautiful, and he was also talented, no one wanted to be such an opponent, and it was not good to win or lose! And Liu Wan herself is very wise, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the girls' group, if it is against which daughter, it is estimated that she will win, but if Li Zhiyan brushes people down, there will be one less competitor.
Ye Minghuan watched quietly, at first, both of them belonged to the kind of relatively gentle way of playing chess, and slowly operated their own battlefields, only a small field confrontation, but Ye Minghuan could see that both of them belonged to one step and ten steps, if they made a wrong move, it would have a great impact on the battle situation behind, but it was quite holding their breath and making people's hearts go up.
Liu Wan and Li Zhiyan knew that the other party was an opponent, and they were also a little surprised, but they didn't show it on their faces. However, the person who reminded her grandmother and mother was naturally not able to lose their color by such a small surprise.
"Huh? Are you that Bao Junjun? Why do you have to wear a veil, here are all famous families, rest assured, there will be no rude and offensive people", a childish voice sounded
Hongye whispered in Minghuan's ear, and she knew that the little Zhengtai in front of her was Liu Junfeng, the sister-in-law of the Wei Bo Mansion, and now he is only a ten-year-old child, a few years younger than Ye Minghuan.
"Zi'an, don't be rude", Liu Wan's heart jumped suddenly, and she hurriedly reprimanded. Ye Minghuan didn't know why he appeared here today, that is, the county lord of Jingyue only said a few words to Bao Junjun, after all, no one knew what kind of temperament Ye Minghuan had been pampered all along, if he offended her? As soon as she thought of this, Liu Wan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and her chess hand trembled invisibly
Liu Junfeng didn't think about it so much, he just thought that the eldest sister was afraid that she would scare others, "Eldest sister, I know"
"I caught a cold a few days ago, and my face was very pale and terrifying, so I covered my face with a veil", Ye Minghuan knew that this Liu Junfeng had no malicious intent, but was cute by his round and cute little face, and said slowly.
"Oh", Liu Junfeng nodded
"Zi'an", Liu Wan called again
Hey? Sister, what's wrong? "That's it! Also...... You women like to toss and shine before you go out. It's like the eldest sister ......", Liu Junfeng added, he listened to the tone of the eldest sister, and there seemed to be something wrong with what he said, but fortunately, this Baojunjun didn't do anything, on the contrary, he could hear the kindness inside.
"Ahem, ahem......", Liu Wan couldn't help but cough and reminded
Liu Junfeng heard Liu Wan cough and immediately asked worriedly, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" Is it cold? ”
Liu Wan smiled helplessly: "I'm fine"
"Really?"
"Really", this stupid brother......
However, Liu Wan looked at Ming Huan without a trace of boredom, and also gave up struggling.
But......
The atmosphere of the audience was very quiet, and it was estimated that Liu Junfeng was also flustered, and talked to Ye Minghuan again, "What do you think of the lighting in the corridor?" ”
Ye Minghuan nodded, "Not bad", the ancient craftsmen were indeed patient.
Liu Junfeng: "I think it's beautiful, when the wind comes, it will rotate, and if there is a wind chime inside, it will make a crisp sound."
……
"You know what? This time, the first place can not only light up tonight's fire tree and silver flowers, but also get the personal reward of the imperial concubine at the plum blossom banquet in the future."
Ye Minghuan: "Hmm"
……
"Huh? Do you think my sister will win or Xinhua Shizi will win? ”
"......", it's not good to say it in front of the two of them
"My eldest sister is amazing, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, do you see that she hasn't lost yet?"
This is a big reversal, she thought that Liu Junfeng would think that her sister would win, but it turned out to be ...... "......"
Liu Junfeng thought that Ye Minghuan didn't believe it, and tried to persuade her, "You don't believe me? You don't know that Xinhua Shizi is powerful, but my eldest sister hasn't lost until now~"
"Ahem, cough ......", Ye Minghuan couldn't help coughing a few times when he heard this, this stupid kid ...... Your eldest sister is indeed powerful, it is not easy to bring you up!
"Hey, why are you coughing too?" , it seems that when I go back, I have to ask someone to cook a bowl of ginger soup for the eldest sister
Ye Minghuan said softly: "If you keep talking... I am sure that Xinhua Shizi will thank you."
"Why?" , why should Xinhua Shizi thank him?
At this moment, Li Zhiyan couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, Ye Minghuan was indeed right. If it keeps playing, the two will draw, but the premise is that Liu Wan's heart can't be messed up, and Liu Junfeng has been talking to her, dividing Liu Wan's heart and messing up her pace. But this Xinhua Shizi is also a good character, she can feel that he didn't do his best at the beginning, could it be that it is not easy to know Liu Wan? Or do you see a beautiful big girl, pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?
Ming Huan looked at this Li Zhiyansheng without a trace, thinking that this person was okay!
If other people know her inner thoughts, I'm afraid it will be a little annoying, but the gentle gentleman in their hearts is still okay?
But you can't blame Pan'er, her family's genes are really good, she has seen too many beauties, and her immunity is too strong!
The hourglass time has arrived, and even if there is no winner, the game should be a tie. The chess game is also a person who can brush most of the people, but to everyone's surprise, Xinhua Shizi actually drew with Liu Wan.
……
Contestants with different hearts all enter the next round: the bookstore
This year's bookstore is more interesting, similar to the folk lantern riddle guessing game. Whoever is at the same moment is the one who has the most answers to the riddle and writes it on rice paper is correct. So at first, many contestants wanted to make it simpler.
The inner rotation is hung with all kinds of red and red small lanterns, each lantern hangs a wooden card, the wooden card is covered with a piece of paper, if you tear off this piece of paper, you must finish answering, in order to enter the next question, the question is difficult and easy, so this is really a bit of luck, if you guess correctly, directly write the answer on the top, and someone will count.
Most of these riddles are from the hands of folk craftsmen and some nobles, and they have been blocked before they have even begun.
Everyone didn't gather in one direction, on the contrary, some people started from the outermost and some people started from the innermost. Liu Wan pulled Liu Junfeng in a more remote direction, while Li Zhiyan said goodbye to them and went to the center.
"Jiaojiao, which one do you like, which one will we answer?" , Ye Changxun looked at Ye Minghuan's appearance and said with a smile
"The third brother is not afraid that I have bad luck, and the choice is the most difficult?" , Ye Minghuan took advantage of no one's attention and poked the little lantern, hmm! It's really made of flannel paper, so big......
"Sister, is this doubting my brother's talent?"
"Indeed", Ye Minghuan nodded with a smile in his eyes
"This allows you to see my brother's talent, you can choose it~", Ye Changxun flicked Minghuan's forehead lightly, and smiled very suave in the book, "If you answer all right." My sister wants to embroider a purse for my brother, just like the fourth brother."
When Ye Minghuan heard this, the red lips under the veil were already smiling, fortunately, there was a veil to cover it, this brother always likes to eat, and when he has a sister-in-law in the future, he will definitely talk about it in front of her.
"Then this little pig lantern begins", Ming Huan glanced at the lantern closest to her
Momiji immediately stepped forward and tore off the paper and presented it in front of them: the red cotton blossomed for a moment
"Will my brother do it? Do you want your sister to help you? This question is a bit difficult, and Ming Huanye can't help but admire his luck.
Ye Changxun took advantage of people's inattention, glanced at Ming Huan, and wrote when he picked up the pen: The hero is short of breath
Ming Huan pouted, almost didn't give Ye Changxun time to stop, and kept asking Hongye to tear the paper, how Ye Changxun didn't understand that this was his sister making things difficult for him, but he was happy, he wanted to show his brother's charm in front of her.
As a result, the Ye siblings completed it at an astonishing speed, and none of them were wrong. When they stopped, they found that many people had been standing in the southwest direction of the internal rotation.
It turned out that someone had won the riddle of the King of Lights, and that person was very depressed and couldn't answer, so many people gathered around to see if they could answer it.
Because the bookstore has such a rule: if the contestant who wins the riddle of the lantern king is answered, the number of lanterns that he originally guessed correctly will be doubled, and if he can't answer, others can answer it, he can write down the answer, and then he can own all the lanterns that the previous person answered correctly!
Ye Minghuan and the two also stepped forward, she silently read in her heart: Words are not green to Qingshan, the two of them are clearly distinguished, the three of them ride a bull and a cow without horns, and there is one person among the grass and trees.
Ye Changxun and Ming Huan also fell into thought, it seemed clear and simple, but it was really difficult.
"Can't you simply guess the anagram and give birth to such a difficult one?" , the crowd fell silent, and it was not known who was the first to say such a sentence
Ming Huan was stimulated by this sentence and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at the anagram, and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that they were thinking wrong
"Brother, it seems that your purse is gone", Ming Huan said softly, and only Ye Changxun heard the small voice
"Jiaojiao knows the answer?" , Ye Changxun is half unwilling, half surprised, unwilling to guess himself, he can't get his sister's purse, he is surprised that he has such a smart sister.
"That's, who told my brother to have a complicated mind?" , Ming Huan tilted his head slightly, his eyes flashed mischievously, and made a gesture to ask for a pen.
Ye Changxun looked at the eyes of this elf, and suddenly laughed heartily, "Sister, these days, you will obediently embroider a purse for the third brother~", after he finished speaking, he walked to the lamp king, picked up the pen and wrote
The eyes of the crowd followed his strokes
The mystery is revealed: [Please sit and serve tea]
The words are not green to Qingshan, not to say that they are invited to add green, the two of them are clear on the soil, and it is not just the soil that separates the two villains, and so on, it is easy to guess. It turned out that this was the case, and everyone suddenly realized, they racked their brains to think deeply, but they didn't know that the simplest way to form a method was enough.
Many people look at the two brothers and sisters with different eyes, it should be said that they look at Ye Changxun's eyes, after all, in their eyes, this question was answered by Ye Changxun, but they don't know that he is thanks to Ming Huan's reminder! In fact, if there is more time, many people can answer, but it is inevitable that they will be blinded by the influence of this situation.
