Chapter 203: The Game
At the same time, Xie Yaoyao also approached Tang Chu and whispered, "It's really dangerous just now, fortunately, Lord Huayang also wants to play this game, otherwise something will happen?" ”
"Oh, what did you say was going to happen?" Zhao Jizhu asked.
Xie Yaoyao, Ma Daha, can actually see it, she is really strange.
"Zhao Zhenzhu, I am innocent, and I am not stupid, then the county lord of Huayang must be jealous of your beauty, so he wants to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to press you!" Xie Yaoyao said angrily.
"Yes, yes, we Yaoyao are smart!" Tang Chu hugged Xie Yaoyao's shoulders and put his chin on it affectionately.
Xie Yaoyao's eyes were full of smiles, and she raised her head and said, "Tang Chu still understands me!" ”
Zhao Zhenzhu smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Xie Yaoyao was still chattering about her opinions.
"It's really a coincidence today, if Tang Chu hadn't proposed to play this game, everyone would have expected it, and the county lord of Huayang might have to continue to make things difficult." Xie Yaoyao said.
"Don't say it too soon, I don't think it's over." Zhao Zhenzhu said with a straight face.
"Huh? What do you mean! It's not like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what else is there to handle! Xie Yaoyao was puzzled.
In her opinion, in women's gatherings, the only things that embarrass each other are qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, because these are the prices that women add to their bodies when they get married, and the more proficient women are, the more they will have a good reputation, and they will be asked to marry by more people.
They have also experienced countless parties since they were young, and there are always a few newcomers who will be harassed by the locals, and letting them show them the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is one of the common tricks.
At that time, no matter whether you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or what level a certain level has reached, if the other party really wants to embarrass you, they will inevitably try to find faults, which is also commonplace.
"What Miss Zhao said is also reasonable, maybe she will do something during the competition in a while!" Tang Chu said.
"I know, you mean that when the county lord of Huayang presides over the game for a while, he will give Zhu Zhu a difficult word!" Xie Yaoyao thought for a while and said.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two people next to her, wanting to confirm.
Tang Chu nodded in agreement, and Zhao Zhenzhu also smiled helplessly.
Zhao Zhenzhu did not regret revealing her true appearance, but she was also a little depressed about the unwavering attitude of the county lord of Huayang, it was Tang Chu who solved her dilemma, which made her even more depressed, no matter whether Tang Chu was sincere in solving the siege for herself or afraid of causing a bad impact on Tang Chun, she had to thank the other party.
The lord of Huayang over there had already finished writing all the exam questions, and the twins and the other maids clamped it on the stand and covered it with a cloth.
The ladies turned around, and under Tang Chu's narration, they understood the specific rules, and they were divided into two teams accordingly, one team was Zhao Zhenzhu as the pair, the other team was Xie Yaoyao as the captain, the Huayang County Lord was the referee, and Tang Chu was responsible for reading the exam questions.
The arrangements have been made, and as soon as the county lord of Huayang gave the order, all the nobles began to gear up and be eager to try.
The two hourglasses are responsible for calculating the time, this thing is not new to the nobles, the hourglass has been transmitted to the Apocalypse more than a hundred years ago, many people have one, when the sand on it is clear, the game is over.
At the beginning of the game, Zhao Zhenzhu's group showed amazing results, only to see the noble girl who cooperated with Zhao Zhenzhu fiddling with it at will, and Zhao Zhenzhu said the corresponding idiom.
The girls who did not participate on the side cheered for their pairs happily, and the ladies in the distance also smiled when they saw their daughters playing so happily.
"Come on! Zhao Jizhu! Come on! Many ladies who played well with Zhao Zhenzhu on weekdays couldn't help but shout for her when they saw that Zhao Zhenzhu had left a few words far away.
Zhao Zhenzhu was still sitting firmly in the chair, answering expressionlessly.
The people who cooperated with her danced with each other, looking at the scores on both sides with great excitement, and couldn't help but believe that they and Zhao Jizhu were the right choice.
The hourglass is decreasing little by little, everyone's mood continues to rise, everyone cheers for the team that has a good relationship with them, Xie Yaoyao's poetry is okay, but in the end, Zhao Zhenzhu reacted quickly, at this time, while answering the question, he looked at the score and the hourglass from time to time, and was so anxious that fine beads of sweat appeared on his face.
At this moment, the exam questions on Zhao Jizhu's side suddenly turned into a blank sheet of paper, Zhao Jizhu's teammates were stunned, and the others also widened their eyes.
Everyone looked at the county lord of Huayang, but they saw that the other party was busy drinking tea, and then chatting with other noble ladies.
Zhao Zhenzhu saw that the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and she didn't know why her ears were blocked by cotton, but she couldn't look back, she could only use her eyes to signal her teammates, what happened?
"Miss Tang, what do you think of this?" Zhao Zhenzhu's maid Xia He walked up to Tang Chu and asked anxiously.
Tang Chu comforted with a calm face, "Don't worry, I'll ask the county lord." ”
Although she said that, how could she not guess that this was deliberately done by the county lord of Huayang.
Walking slowly to the Huayang County Lord, Tang Chu first gave a salute, and then said respectfully.
"County Lord, Miss Zhao's pair of exam questions actually has a blank piece of paper, I wonder if it is a mistake?" Tang Chu asked.
"Oh? And this kind of thing? Lord Huayang said innocently, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, which was creepy.
Tang Chu said with a smile, "Since the county lord doesn't know either, then you might as well withdraw and use the next exam question!" ”
The county lord of Huayang raised his eyes to look at her, and said softly, "It's okay, this time is also a test of Zhao Zhenzhu's adaptability, you don't need to remove it, you can use it directly." ”
Tang Chu lowered her head, with gloom in her eyes, if she didn't want to use today's banquet to spread Tang Chun's reputation out of Suizhou, how could she endure the temper of this unruly county lord.
But the other party had already spoken, and she had no choice but to retreat and walk back into the crowd.
"It's going on as usual." When the others saw Tang Chu coming back, they only had such a sentence, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Miss Tang!" Zhao Zhenzhu's maid looked at her blankly, but Tang Chu shook his head, and then ordered the game to continue.
Zhao Zhenzhu was still sitting on the chair, and when she saw everyone looking at her with sympathetic eyes, she couldn't help but panic.
She saw her teammates standing there stunned, their faces were tangled, and they didn't know what was going on, but Xie Yaoyao's team next to her was still continuing, which meant that the game was still in progress, but their group should have encountered a problem, and her teammates couldn't figure out what to express the words in the exam questions.
As time passed, Xie Yaoyao's group quickly leveled the score, while Zhao Jizhu's group stagnated.
