When he arrived downstairs, standing on the field specially set up for pitching pots in the Chunfeng Building, Su Yunmu looked at Shen Nianzhen while touching the arrows, and suddenly had an idea, so he said: "Brother Shen, let's just practice pitching pots, how boring it is, why don't we make a bet and have a competition?" ”

"Okay, what does Brother Su want to compare?" Gu Panxi asked with great interest.

Shen Yunlan pulled her from behind and reminded her to take it easy, otherwise she would lose badly.

Shen Nianzhen didn't care, just looked at Su Yunmu with a smile.

Not again.

Obviously, the kid in front of him is not good-looking, but why does he think he is a little good-looking?

Su Yunmu turned his face away, looked at the large group of warblers and smiling on the stairs next to him, and coughed lightly,

said: "It's nothing, if you lose, come to Su's house and make me a little boy for seven days, how about it?" ”

"No, you can't!"

Shen Yunlan immediately opened his mouth to refuse, and when he saw Su Yunmu and Shen Nianzhen looking at each other with their eyes, he explained with some embarrassment: "My brother is a scholar!" Recently, the spring season is approaching, and he is very busy, I am afraid that he will not be able to spare time to go to Su's house, so I ask Mr. Su to forgive me. ”

"Brother, I may not lose, what are you nervous about?" Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Su Yunmu, and said with a smile: "Master Su, if you lose, give me a thousand taels of silver, how about it?" ”

"Deal!"

When Su Yunmu heard this, he agreed.

What is a thousand taels of silver, he came out tonight, and he brought five thousand taels of silver with him alone.

This bet is small and can be ignored.

Compared to the thousand taels of gold that his sister lost today, it was more like a joke.

There was no objection from either side, and the matter was settled.

Su Yunmu was in high spirits, standing there warming up, his little servant was busy tidying up his wide sleeves behind him, and he would be affected when he threw the pot later.

Shen Nianzhen was pulled aside by Shen Yunlan.

"I said, are you really sure? If you lose later, it will be miserable! ”

"Don't worry, I won't lose your sister."

Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth to comfort him.

Shen Yunlan stopped helplessly, feeling in his heart that since he came here, things were gradually out of his control.

That's it, let's take one step at a time, things are really to the point of no return, and he.

"Have you discussed it? Who's going to go first? Su Yunmu began to shout.

Shen Nianzhen immediately walked over, looked at his eager posture, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "Master Su can't wait, you can take the lead!" In the end, the winner is the one who hits the most. ”

"Good! Let you appreciate and appreciate the demeanor of the master first! Su Yunmu winked at him: "Don't worship me too much!" ”

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

She held back a laugh, leaned lazily on the railing, and nodded, "Okay, don't waste time, let's get started." ”

After Su Yunmu was proud and proud, like a peacock with an open screen, and took the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him, Shen Nianzhen came to Shen Yunlan's side and asked in a low voice, "Have you asked Yu Gu to go out to find out the news?" Did Su Yunmu's people really enter the palace to ask for Imperial Doctor Liu? ”

"It's already gone, and the fish intestines are quietly following behind." Shen Yunlan lowered his voice and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, everything is with me, you just have to worry about yourself, don't lose too ugly later." ”

The two of them were whispering, and Su Yunmu over there had already opened his posture, holding a bamboo arrow, ready to throw a pot.

This place in the Chunfeng Building is set aside separately for pitching pots, there are no crowded guests, no tables and chairs, some are only eight-sided splendid screens, and flowers and plants placed around, but it is also an elegant place.

As soon as he thought this, Shen Nianzhen heard a cheer above his head: "Come and see, everyone!" The second son of Su is throwing a pot! ”

With this delicate shout, soon, on the second floor, there was a large number of warblers and swallows rushing over, giggling and laughing, shaking the champa and looking over here, among them, there were some guests in the restaurant, all of whom were very curious.

Su Yunmu seemed to enjoy this kind of attention, and in order to increase the suspense, he didn't throw the bamboo arrow for a long time, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but smile, this person is really too sassy.

The next moment, with a snort, the bamboo arrow in Su Yunmu's hand shot towards the silver kettle in front of him, and with a bang, it hit.

"Hit, hit!"

Upstairs and downstairs, there was a burst of cheers.

Su Yunmu made persistent efforts, and the second and third teams were also thrown, and they were hit one by one.

There are some skills, Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, so, it's interesting, isn't it?

She was not in a hurry or impatient, but walked to the side and found a place to sit down, beckoned to the small servant in the building, and ordered a table of wine and food.

"Are you still in the mood to eat and drink at this time?"

Shen Yunlan ran over and asked.

"Or else?" Shen Nianzhen handed over a pair of chopsticks, biting half a piece of mushroom in his mouth, and his voice was indistinct: "Only when you are full can you have the strength to throw the pot, aren't you hungry?" ”

When the two of them came out of the house, they didn't have dinner, and Shen Yunlan was indeed a little hungry at this time.

Looking at the chopsticks handed over by Shen Nianzhen, and then looking at the dazzling array of exquisite dishes on this table, he was heartbroken, stretched out his hand to take it, didn't say anything, and lowered his head to eat.

"The fried meat with fresh bamboo shoots in this house is good, go back and let the people in the kitchen learn." Shen Nianzhen said while eating.

Shen Yunlan sneered: "The chef in this Spring Breeze Building is the imperial chef who has retired from the palace, and the chefs in our house are just ordinary people, I'm afraid that I will disappoint you." ”

"I'm just talking." Shen Nianzhen pouted.

After eating, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and said to the restaurant servant who came over with a smile: "The account is on the account of Su Ergongzi." With that, he got up.

At that moment, she heard a cheer behind her.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Great! Su Ergongzi voted one hundred and twenty in a row! All-in! ”

When Shen Yunlan heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, looked at Shen Nianzhen, but saw that she was still not in a hurry, and walked back to the field steadily, Su Yunmu was already a little tired, a white little face was flushed, and when he saw her coming over, he immediately grinned proudly: "How is it?" Are you scared? ”

Today's pot throwing is really happy!

"Not bad." Shen Nianzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Can you still continue to vote?" ”

"What do you mean?" Su Yunmu walked over, sat and asked while resting.

"If you still have the stamina, just keep shooting, and when you can't shoot anymore, it's time for me to play." Shen Nianzhen picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, sniffed it under his nose, and then smiled: "Lu'an melon slices, yes, I like it." ”

Su Yunmu: "......"

"Okay!" He gritted his teeth, looked at Shen Nianzhen, who had been unfazed, and smiled deeply: "Let you see my true strength today!" After speaking, he grabbed the teacup in his hand, drank the tea, and then went on the field again.

The warblers upstairs began to shout again.

Shen Nianzhen is at ease.

Shen Yunlan walked over and said helplessly: "Why are you stimulating him?" Want to lose even more miserably later? ”

"Big brother, that's not what you said before." Shen Nianzhen said: "Didn't you say that my pot throwing skills are superb and unrivaled in Jiangzhou?" Why be so afraid? ”

"I'm just saying it casually," Shen Yunlan said with a stroke ...... his forehead.

"Then wait a minute, my sister will open your eyes." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and smiled slightly.

As the two of them were talking, bursts of warm applause broke out again, and then someone shouted excitedly: "Two hundred ears!" Second son Su is really amazing! ”

The iron kettles on the pitching field were full of bamboo arrows, like the most dazzling medals.

Su Yunmu put down his sore arm, came over panting, looked at Shen Nianzhen and smiled proudly: "How is it?" Convincing or not? ”

"Convincing, the second son is really skilled, admirable."

Shen Nianzhen put down the teacup, gave him a thumbs up, then stood up and walked to the center of the field easily.

As soon as he stood still, someone upstairs exclaimed, "Huh! Who is that man? Look at it, it's so ugly! ”

Immediately, there was a burst of laughter.

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

It seems that you have to come up with some real skills to deter these old ladies, as well as Su Yunmu!

Shen Nianzhen hooked the corners of his mouth, gave up his original thoughts, suddenly picked up the quiver from the ground, turned around in a big circle, turned his back to the silver kettle in the distance, picked up the bamboo arrow, didn't aim, and threw it behind him at will.

Touch, right in the heart of the pot.

There was a pause in the laughter from upstairs.

The second and third branches, Shen Nianzhen threw them very casually, almost without aiming, but none of the bamboo arrows thrown out fell to the ground, as if they had a pair of eyes on their backs.

What is this pitching method?

Although there are also throws with their backs to the iron kettle, no one has ever cast so easily and lazily.

The laughter of the crowd on the field gradually stopped, and then all turned into preoccupation.

Su Yunmu drank tea comfortably, and his heart was still immersed in the excitement that had just been watched, and he didn't ease up, but he was pulled by the little guy on the side: "Childe, take a look, Su Gongzi is also very powerful......"

"Can you still be as powerful as your son-in-law?"

Su Yunmu sneered, and then raised his head carelessly.

Immediately, he was stunned.

Shen Nianzhen moved quickly, one bamboo arrow was thrown, and without waiting for it to land, the next one was thrown out, and with a bang, two bamboo arrows fell together in the iron kettle.

How long has it been? Of the five iron kettles on that field, three were already full of bamboo arrows!

"Those...... He voted for it? Su Yunmu was dumbfounded.

The little guy nodded frantically: "Yes, Childe!" Didn't you see that everyone was already stunned......"

Su Yunmu's gaze slowly moved up, looking at a group of warblers Yanyan and the spectators who kept screaming when he threw the pot just now, they were all stunned at this time, standing there in a daze, staring at the picture on the field with two eyes firmly fixed.

Obviously, they were too surprised.

Su Yunmu took a deep breath, held his chest and looked downward, and finally, looked at Shen Nianzhen who kept throwing pots on the field with a complicated expression, occasionally stopping to wipe the sweat on his forehead, his expression was quite complicated.

He didn't have to wait for it to be over, he had already lost completely.

"One hundred and eighty, one hundred and ninety-eight......"

The only excited person on the field was Shen Yunlan, Shen Nianzhen voted one, he read a sentence aloud, and when the two hundred were finished, he applauded excitedly: "Okay!" Good vote! ”

The next moment, the entire Chunfeng Building, upstairs and downstairs, all erupted in warm applause, and everyone cheered in unison.

Tonight, this pot throwing was really exciting, and almost the entire Chunfeng Building attracted people to it.

As soon as Shen Nianzhen came out, Su Yunmu walked over.

"Brother Su, you are really hiding it deeply, I am willing to gamble and lose." He said with a complicated expression.

"Brother Su is also very powerful, and over time, he will definitely be able to beat me." Shen Nianzhen smiled politely, and then stretched out his hand towards him.

Su Yunmu knew that he wanted silver, so he happily reached into his arms, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets, held them in his hand and said, "It is a blessing in my life to know a friend like Brother Shen." ”

"It's also my pleasure to know you."

Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, took the silver ticket, and felt happy in his heart.

"It's time to withdraw." Shen Yunlan whispered in her ear, and then bowed his hand and said, "Brother Su, it's not too early, we should go back too, don't leave it at that." ”

"Wait!"

Su Yunmu suddenly opened his mouth and called out to them, stepped forward, and said, "Tomorrow, can I go to the Shen family to find you?" ”

"No way!"

Shen Nianzhen and Shen Yunlan said in unison.

Su Yunmu couldn't help but be stunned: "Why?" We're all friends now! ”

"Brother Su, it's not that you are not welcome, but recently, my mother is seriously ill, and it is really not appropriate to let outsiders come to the door." Shen Nian said embarrassedly: "When the family affairs are over, I will personally set up a banquet to entertain Brother Su!" ”

"Then it's settled!"

Su Yunmu didn't suspect anything, and when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and patted Shen Nianzhen on the shoulder, and praised him sincerely: "Brother Su, your pot throwing skills are indeed superb, you are a friend, I have made up my mind!" ”

"These are nothing, I'll have some pot throwing stuff, teach you next time." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly.

"Good!" Su Yunmu nodded and personally sent them out of the Chunfeng Building.

Shen Nianzhen helped Shen Yunlan's arm to get into the carriage, turned around and smiled at him, and soon, the carriage left.

Su Yunmu still stood there dumbfounded.

The little guy beside him, Amu, said with some confusion: "Young master! Don't you think this third son of Su is a little strange? He said he was a man, but his body was too thin and ......"

"And what? You just love to be cranky! Su Yunmu glared at him and said, "Has the account been settled?" It's time for us to go back too! ”

Having said that, he inadvertently remembered Shen Nianzhen's amazing smile, and he always felt a little similar......

……

Shen Nianzhen and Shen Yunlan secretly returned to the Shen family the same way, and still entered the house through the back door, and returned to their respective courtyards without alarming anyone.

As soon as Shen Nianzhen went back, he asked Ruhua to go out to inquire about the news.

"Miss, Imperial Physician Liu has been invited into the house an hour ago, checked the pulse of the second young master, and changed the medicine for the wound, now, the second young master's high fever has subsided, and his breathing is stable, the imperial doctor said that as long as he survives tonight, his life will be fine."

"That's good."

Shen Nianzhen breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this.

She is not worried about Shen Yunqi, she is just worried about her father, only if Shen Yunqi's illness gets better as soon as possible, can her father's life be better.

The imperial doctor was invited, the second lady stopped making trouble, and everyone in the Shen family finally spent a peaceful night.

Early the next morning.

Gu Panxi sat at the table to accompany Mrs. Shen for breakfast, and Mama Zhou went to visit in the west courtyard in person, and came back with a spring breeze and said, "Old lady! Great joy! The imperial doctor said that the second son's illness is not a big deal! Just recuperate for a few months and you'll be fine! ”

"Amitabha."

Mrs. Shen immediately picked up the rosary at hand and recited the Buddha name several times, then she opened her eyes and said with a relieved face: "As long as people are okay, it's okay!" ”

Shen Nianzhen had already known the news, and when he heard this, he was holding the spoon for a moment.

Immediately, she looked up.

"Grandmother, the second cousin is no longer in the way, is it time to discuss the matter of sending him back to Xuzhou?"

Last night, a large family was busy working around for Shen Yunqi's illness, only Second Uncle Shen, who didn't know which corner to hide in and drank alcohol, early in the morning, he was drunk and was found by the little maid in front of the house and carried back.

When Old Lady Shen heard this, the smile on her face couldn't help but fade.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, don't worry, grandmother remembers what she promised you, and when your second cousin is well from his illness, grandmother will immediately send someone to send their father and son back to Xuzhou!" No relents! ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't force the old lady to express her position, she just wanted to remind her that the second uncle's family had done something hurtful in Shangjing, and now that Shen Yunqi can have a life, it should be blessed by the ancestors.

"Grandmother, don't worry, just give the second room a wake-up call." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, lowered his head and drank porridge.

Out of sight, a third-class maid who was waiting outside quietly retreated.

After breakfast, Shen Nianzhen was a little sleepy, so he went to the east wing, intending to make up for sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, he was talking to Ruhua without a match, when there was a sudden noise outside, and the battle was quite big.

Shen Nianzhen immediately turned over and sat up, glanced out the window, and ordered, "Take a look." ”

"Yes, miss." Picturesque took the order and left.

Shen Nianzhen lay down again, but she didn't feel sleepy, and she heard the noise outside getting more and more intense, and even Mama Zhou was dispatched, so she turned over and got up, put on her shoes and pushed the door out.

Just happened to meet the picturesque panting back: "Miss! Oh no! The gate of our house is surrounded by people outside! Two corpses stopped! A lot of people are watching! ”

"Corpses? What's going on? Shen Nian was a little shocked.

"It is said that it was the family members of the two civilians who were killed by the second young master in the brothel, and their bodies were carried and blocked the door of our house." Ruhua said anxiously: "Now, the great commander has gone to the court and has not come back, and the eldest young master is not in the mansion, so no one has come forward to solve the problem!" ”

Shen Nianzhen was shocked again.

Last night, Shen Yunqi had a high fever and his life was in danger, but now it is easy to control it and snatch people back from the ghost gate, and now something like this has happened! How can grandmother stand it!

I always feel that behind this incident, there is a big hand pushing things forward.
