Chapter 620: Big Husband's Game
The pot thrower, the host and the guest swallow drink talk about the gift of talent.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, although throwing pots is not a formal etiquette, it is still an elegant activity, especially when entertaining guests, the guests of honor sit opposite each other, throw wine pots with arrows, and accompany them with songs, as a game to help the feast.
In the process of circulation, the difficulty of the game has increased, not only has many new names been created, but some people have ingenuity to set up a screen outside the pot for blind casting, or sitting on the back and back. The initial pitcher was filled with red beans in the pot, so that the arrow shaft would not jump out, but gradually it was not filled with red beans in the pot, which could make the arrow shaft jump out, and the thrower grabbed and recast continuously, which was called "Xiao", but this game was extremely difficult.
It is rumored that people who are good at pitching pots can throw a hundred times in a row!
Zhao Wuxian thought that this was the guests bragging when they were drunk, but until today, he didn't know that such a person existed.
As the arrows continued to jump back and forth in the flask and in their hands, the onlookers slowly changed from silent recitation to loud announcements, one hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and two...... When the count reached one hundred and eleven, the arrow shaft was firmly grasped in Zhiyao's hand again, but he stopped throwing.
"I'm afraid I'll miss if I throw it again, so that's the end of it today." Zhi Yao easily threw the arrow aside, his words seemed humble, but everyone in the audience felt his pride, the pride hidden deep in his body that he disdained to show.
He is versatile, no matter what field, he can be proud of the younger generation of the Jin Kingdom, no, even the pot throwing game in the banquet can lead the way.
The four people who were throwing pots were now the focus of the main hall, among which Wei Ju and Han Hu were three feet away from Zhao Wuxian, and the three of them were faintly distinguishable from Zhi Yaojing on the opposite side.
Wei Ju touched the lacquered arrow shaft in his hand and was silent. With a look of shame, he only took more than ten arrows before he missed.
Han Hu also looked helpless. This kind of pick-and-throw play, called "Xiao", requires a lot of patience and a high degree of concentration, and his mind is more delicate than Wei Ju's. Therefore, it is excellent to be able to connect more than 30 arrows, but compared to Zhiyao, it is beyond reach.
Then, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Wuxian's body, and after the three of them, Zhao Wei and Han and Zhiyao took their seats, they were silent for a while. Zhiyao proposed to play a game of pitching pots, but the atmosphere did not ease at all, but became more and more tense. Now, Wei Ju and Han Hu have both collapsed, leaving Zhao Wuxian unplayed.
saw Zhao Wuxian roll up his wide sleeves, pick up an arrow with the arrow removed, and aim at the wine jug, but he was thoughtful and didn't throw it for a long time.
"Zhao Zi is afraid that he will not be as good as me, and he will be punished for drinking?" Zhiyao seemed to be smiling, ignoring the gloom of Wei and Han. blindly wants to see Zhao Wuxian fall into the upper hand.
Zhao Wuxian simply withdrew the arrow, and said with a smile: "I was delayed in Rongma in the Eastern Kingdom, and this pot throwing art really has no time to practice, so naturally it can't be compared with Zhizi." ”
Zhiyao's face gradually sank. In an instant, he lost himself slightly.
"Zhao Zi thinks the pitcher is a small art?"
Zhao Wuxian said confidently: "Yes, the pot thrower is just a game used by the ancients to replace archery. You can't rejuvenate the country from above, and you can't kill the enemy from below. What a foot too! ”
Zhi Yao's sharp gaze fell on Zhao Wuxian's face from a distance, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That is in Zhao Zi's eyes." What is Dayi? ”
Wuxian said angrily: "With the vast land of the Zhao family, the Zhi family, the Wei family, and the Han family, the Qing clan with tens of thousands of halberds, and the wisdom of the head of the family, what they are engaged in is definitely not just this kind of small game. ”
He got up and made a gesture of bending his bow and shooting birds: "I take the Zhao warriors as arrows, and the entire eastern country as a pot, and the big ones are Qi and Wu, the middle ones are Lu, Song, Cao, and Wei, and the small ones are Ju, Yi, Xiao Yi, Teng, Xue, Tan, and Pi in Sishang." Added up, but more than ten arrows, and I dare not say that every arrow must be hit, this is the game that the big husband should be engaged in! ”
When the two of them had this conversation, the entire west side of the hall was quiet, and even the onlookers were nervous and did not dare to speak. As the conversation progressed, people's faces became more and more exciting, more and more eccentric, Zhiyao's pride and domineering were well-known among the younger generation, but after Zhao Wuxian returned, he confronted him for the first time, although he was pressed on the pitcher, his momentum did not fall behind, but he was extremely tough in every word.
In this comparison, the level and pattern of Zhao Zhi and the two are compared, and the light of the moon is really not as good as the corona.
What they didn't know was that Zhao Wuxian was also deliberate, after realizing the hostility between Wei Ju and Han Hu and Zhi Yao, he was grateful to Zhi Yao in his heart, and if a small group wanted to survive, it had to have a common enemy...... In addition to Fan and Bank of China, it would be great if you could add the goods in front of you.
Although he and Zhiyao are not completely on the opposite side, it is okay to stand up for Xiao Wei and Xiao Han when they are bullied, and today's Zhao Wuxian is not the Zhao Xiangzi who was forcibly poured wine by Zhiyao in history!
Sure enough, seeing Zhao Wuxian made Zhiyao deflated, which made the hearts of those people in the hall who had been humiliated by him happy. Wei Ju clapped his hands again and again, agreeing with Zhao Wuxian's statement, Han Hu also raised his eyes to look at Zhiyao, wanting to see what kind of expression he had, the humiliation of his cronies Duan Gui at that banquet, and the teasing he was subjected to, he still held a grudge.
Zhi Yao's expression was still calm, but anyone could see the emotion that was about to burn in his indifferent eyes.
However, I don't know if it was deliberate patience, or if it had grown up a little in recent years, the negative emotions on Zhiyao's face gradually disappeared, and finally regained his calm, which surprised Zhao Wuxian very much.
I only heard him say coldly: "If you want to count it according to this kind of husband's game, I have only hit the enemy now, and I am indeed inferior to Zhao Zi......"
"But in time, it may not be as good!"
Zhiyao was arrogant again, Zhao Wuxian also accepted it when he saw it, and now he turned his face with Zhi's family, and Yu Zhao's had no interest, he raised his lamp and said: "That's right, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a precedence in the art industry, come, you and I will drink this wine together, how so?" ”
Zhiyao looked at the sake in the cup, remembered what his grandfather had said when he invited Ying, swallowed back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "Looking at the Jin Kingdom, I only admire Zhao Zi alone, please!" ”
Interesting, Zhao Wuxian thought, in history, the person Zhiyao looked down on the most, and the person who bullied the most was precisely Zhao Xiangzi, but now, is he a hero and a hero? If you can learn about Bo Yao's praise, it will not be in vain......
Seeing that Zhao Wei and Han raised the wine cup to drink with Zhiyao, the tense atmosphere eased slightly, some breathed a sigh of relief, and some were full of disappointment, and dispersed one after another.
After wiping the wine juice from the corner of his mouth, Zhao Wuxian asked with a straight face: "I was disappointed when I heard that Zhizi was not coming, but now I am really surprised to see you here." ”
"I came with my uncle this time, not only for Zhao Zi to participate in Zhao Zi's marriage, but also for other missions."
"Oh? Can you smell it? ”
Zhiyao stared at Wei Ju and Han Hu on the left and right, silent.
Zhao Wuxian said left and right: "Zhao Weihan is like a family, Ziteng and Ziyin are like brothers to me, and it doesn't hurt to know that Zi has something to say." ”
A trace of contempt flashed on Zhiyao's face, more than the vigilance in his eyes, and he finally said, "We have brought congratulations from Zhi, as well as friendship!" ”
……
The banquet was over, and Zhao Wuxian, as the protagonist of tomorrow, naturally had to stand outside the hall and watch the guests go away, and they would live in the hall arranged by the Zhao family, and wait until tomorrow evening to attend the wedding ceremony.
After sending Wei Ju and Han Hu away, they made an appointment to sleep together another day, and after talking all night, Zhao Wuxian looked at the backs of Zhiyao and his uncle Zhiguo again, thoughtfully.
A rickety figure walked out of the corner of the hall and stood beside Zhao Wuxian, he was on a dove cane, his goatee was longer than three years ago, and his appearance had aged a little, he was Zhao Ying's confidant Fu Suo.
"Sir." Zhao Wuxian was very courteous to this old minister of the Zhao family, who was good at analyzing the relationship between the Qing family, and also divided thousands of acres of fertile land in Lu State as Fu Suo's food field.
Fu Su smiled and asked, "The gentleman has also seen Zhiyao, how do you feel about him?" ”
"Zhi Yao is handsome, intellectually superior, versatile, and overwhelms his peers in everything he does, and he can be said to be a genius who combines Zhi's century-old aura. It's a pity that these talents of his are not restrained, but used to bully others, so the relationship with the sons of Jin Qing is extremely poor, and no one wants to be friends with him. I dare to assert that if the Zhi clan takes him as the heir in the future, there will be a disaster of destroying the family and the clan! ”
Hearing Zhao Wuxian's words, Fu Sue was slightly surprised: "Although the gentleman has only seen Zhiyao for the first time, he seems to have seen through him!" ”
Without compassion, that's nature, and that's how Zhiyao in history ended......
But then he was worried: "But this person should not be underestimated, not to mention his sneak attack on the enemy, it is difficult for me to do better if I change it." Let's just say that he endured it several times tonight and suppressed his arrogance, which is very different from the performance when he bullied Wei and Han Erzi in the past, and I don't know why. ”
"It must be because of Zhi Bosong's instructions that this son can be so forbearing!" Fu Chau asserted.
Wu Xian said: "Although I have seen Zhibo twice in the big archery and crown ceremony, I am not impressed by him, will Mr. tell me about this person." ”
"Zhibo pursues the way of goodness and water, don't look at him in the court and in the diplomatic arena in a low-key manner, but in fact he is the most terrible enemy of the Zhao family......"
"He didn't have any eye-catching initiatives after he took office, is it really so powerful?"
Fu Chau shook his head, "Even a gentleman can't notice it, doesn't this mean that he is powerful and terrifying?" ”
PS: The second chapter is in the evening
Yan Zi said: "Those who are warlords cannot become kings, and those who are Lu Shi cannot become politicians; If Gao Yu and the baby have been brothers for a long time, they have not tasted the fault of the baby, the gap of the baby, and the minister of the special Jinshi, how can it be enough to make up for the king. - "Talking Garden"
This kind of thing about brothers is indeed pre-Qin, according to Yuan, in addition to the king of Chuzhuang once said so, Gao Yi and Yan Ying have been brothers, many things have not been mentioned before, it does not mean that the author Jun is a mouthful, to believe in July, this book can actually be seen as a history of social life in the Spring and Autumn Period (to be continued. )
