Chapter 34: Small Talk

"Who else can you offend, it must be your brother." Shuning said nonchalantly.

"Impossible!" Xu Mingyi suddenly bounced up from the stone bench, glared and said, "My brother can't know that I did it!" ”

"What did you do? Do you want your brother to buy a sword? Tong Yan said blankly, and Shuning and Jinyu also looked at her in confusion.

"I, I-" Xu Mingyi muttered like a ball of anger, "Actually, my brother's sword is fake, and the real Feijing Sword has long been lost, where can I go to find a real one, I can't blame me." ”

"Fake?!" The three of them were surprised in unison.

Xu Mingyi waved his hand hurriedly, "Although it is not a real Feijing sword, it looks exactly the same as what is written in the ancient book, and it is also a good sword, really, Tong Su is not bullied, it's justβ€”" She stretched out a hand to weigh it, "It's just a little bit more expensive." ”

"So, how much silver did you sell your brother?" Tong Yan now feels that what Xu Mingyi said is probably not the same as what she understood.

"Not much, only five thousand taels." Xu Mingyi blurted out.

"Huh?!" The three of them were shocked.

"It's really not much, the shopkeeper sold me two thousand taels, and I arranged for someone to arrange things, and finally transferred the sword to him, which is also very expensive." Xu Mingyi played with his fingers and said weakly: "Moreover, if it is sold cheaply, my brother can't take the bait, a famous sword is the same price as an ordinary good sword, and a fool will believe it." ”

"I didn't expect you to be smart again." Shuning sighed and shook her head, really feeling miserable for Xu Yanzhi.

"I think so too." Xu Mingyi was overjoyed, "This time I'm rich, I'll take you to Tianxianglou another day for a big meal, I heard that the new chefs there have good skills." ”

Tong Yan burst out laughing.

This meaning is like a pistachio, every time she sees her, Tong Yan doesn't know how many times she laughs.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Mingyi looked at her unhappily.

"Coughβ€”" Tong Yan waved her hand weakly, and said, "I'm thinking about Miss Liang's flower viewing party, whether it will be very lively." ”

"What's so hilarious about that?" Mingyi pouted and said: "Liang Yunfu, it sounds good, she is a talented woman, if you say it is ugly, she is a nerd." What do you think the nerds can do with the flower viewing party? ”

"Don't say that about Miss Liang, although she is a little old-fashioned and mean, but people have real talents and learning." Shuning retorted.

"Hmph, will the talented girl mix with Princess Anle and Miss Jiang San? A proud peacock, a cowardly golden bird, what is Liang Yunfu, a smart parrot? Xu Mingyi crossed his arms to his chest, very disapproving.

"Sister Mingyi's metaphors are appropriate, when I think about it, it's really like it?" Zhou Yujin smiled and clapped his hands.

Tong Yan's words were a bit excessive, but it was hard to say anything.

Shuning on the side frowned slightly, and scolded: "It's not a child again, how can you talk nonsense, if you spread it, don't talk about the three of them, do you want to have a reputation, you became a long-tongued woman when you were only a teenager, how can you hold your head up in the future." ”

"Got it." Xu Mingyi knew that he was at a loss, and said, "Didn't I just say it in private." ”

"That's not good, I can't control my mouth now, I say I'm used to it, and I don't know when I'll come out in the future." Shuning Zhenzhen said.

"Okay, I got it." Xu Mingyi pulled Shuning's sleeve, looking quite flattering.

"And you, don't be spoiled by intention." Shuning turned her head and glared at Zhou Jinyu.

Jinyu stuck out her tongue and said obediently: "Got it, Sister Shuning." ”

Tong Yan played the round field and said with a smile: "Then the flowers in Liangfu are not extraordinarily varied, and they bloom exceptionally well, otherwise why would you hold a flower viewing party?" ”

"Although it is a flower viewing party, it is actually a young lady of the family who gets together to perform their talents, make poems, throw pots and so on." Xu Mingyi explained.

Tong Yan wondered, "Then why do you say it's boring?" "That sounds like a lot of fun.

Xu Mingyi shook his head, "It was originally quite lively, but although this flower viewing party was nominally run by Miss Liang, in fact, it was not Miss Liang herself who had the final say, the Liang family, the third princess, the Jiang family or something, all had a share, in order to pave the way for Miss Liang, Miss Jiang, the three princesses, Jiang Yao, Miss Jiang San, the name of the first beauty was spread from this flower viewing party last year." ”

Without waiting for Tong Yan to speak, Shu Ning said again: "Actually, it can't be regarded as just for Miss Liang and them, if the other ladies can also be a blockbuster on the field, they can still be famous." After that, she was worried: "Tongyan, do you know how to make poetry?" Can you throw pots? ”

Tong Yan shook her head shyly and said, "I haven't learned." ”

"Then aren't you miserable, although I don't know how to make poems, but I'm good at throwing pots, you don't know anything, it is estimated that on the second day of the flower viewing party, you will overshadow everyone's limelight and become famous in Beijing." Xu Mingyi pulled Tong Yan's sleeve excitedly.

After listening to Xu Mingyi's words, Tong Yan's little shame didn't know where to fly for a long time, she is now extremely embarrassed, this name is really good to use the four words of Yangjingshi, but unfortunately it is not a good name.

Shu Ning pondered for a moment and said: "You can't learn to do poetry for a while, it's better to teach Tong Yan to throw pots, it's better than having black eyes." ”

"That's a good idea." Clearly rejoiced.

Tong Yan naturally won't refuse, such a good opportunity, I can't ask for it.

Mingyi happily beckoned to the maids who had retreated to the side, and asked them to prepare the things for throwing pots.

As the name suggests, the pitching pot is to throw wooden arrows into the pot at a distance, but the pot has two more ears called two belts, whether it is put into the pot mouth or the ear mouth, you can score points, and the cast is different, and the score according to the difficulty is also more or less.

For beginners like Tong Yan who don't know archery or have never played pot throwing, not to mention the tricks, as long as they can throw it, it's good.

Xu Mingyi is a master of pitching pots among the young ladies, although he can't say that he can hit a hundred shots, but he can also hit nine shots in ten arrows, and he can also shoot with both hands and both ears at the same time.

She took eight arrows first, threw them out, and hit them all.

Xu Mingyi turned around and asked Tong Yan with a smug face: "How am I doing?" ”

This string of shots was fast and accurate, Tong Yan couldn't help but clap her hands, and sighed with envy: "It's amazing." ”

"Now." Xu Mingyi stuffed the remaining arrows in his hand into Tong Yan's hand, and pointed to the ear pot, "You go and try it." ”

Tong Yan was excited to try, walked to Xu Mingyi's position just now, took an arrow, opened one eye and compared it to the mouth of the pot, raised her arm back, and with a force, the arrow in her hand drew a beautiful arc and flew out.
