Chapter 122: The Game
Li Jingshan originally planned to use this game to improve their understanding of each other, so she only picked up an easy question at the beginning. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked, "Miss Wang, tell me how you were selected as an apprentice of Tianqiao Hall." ”
"Hee-hee, that's easy." Wang Minzhi also took a sip of tea and said, "My family in Qingzhou is an ancestral jewelry craft. When I was a child, I couldn't put down those shiny jewelry, and I also learned some from my elders. Later, when I entered Jingbao Pavilion as an errand boy, my uncle was in charge of the Suizhou branch, so he recommended me to the owner. And so it was. ”
"Hey, this is more human than human, and it's infuriating." Zhuang Runqing took a bunch of grapes and grapes again.
"Is it difficult for you to choose there?" Wang Minzhi also peeled a Portuguese and grape.
Zhuang Runqing smiled at her, "I won't tell you." ”
Wang Minzhi threw the Portuguese and grape skins into the porcelain plate, took the porcelain cup and bamboo chopsticks in Li Jingshan's hand, and said very imposingly, "Hmph, there will always be a time when you fall into my hands." He turned his back and said loudly, "I'm about to start." ”
With the sound of the tapping, the big pomegranate passed again in everyone's hands. When the voice stopped, Wang Minzhi looked back and laughed, "I said that you would fall into my hands sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon." ”
Zhuang Runqing put down the pomegranate and said helplessly, "You ask." Don't you just want to know how I got into Beijing? ”
Wang Minzhi smiled and nodded.
"Spell the art. Our Suizhou branch is the first branch of Jingbaoge, and it is also the largest outside the capital. It can be said that there is a lot of talent, and the competition is fierce. Although it is not a five-level kill and six generals, it is almost the same. ”
Zhuang Runqing finished eating the grapes and grapes, drank the tea slowly, and continued, "Test the theory, then test the process skills, and finally test the design drawings, and selected three people to be sent to Beijing." You say it's hard or not. ”
"Wow, you're amazing, what are you best at?"
Zhuang Runqing threw a "don't tell you look" to Wang Minzhi, and said arrogantly, "This is the next question." ”
As he spoke, he took the porcelain cup and bamboo chopsticks, turned his back and cleared his throat, "Ready, start." ”
The next turn was Ye Qing. Zhuang Runqing said with a smile, "Brother Ye, I know that your tired silk skills are extremely skillful, but what skills do you have?" ”
Ye Qing thought about it very seriously, "Without him, only his hands are familiar." ”
Zhuang Runqing was very dissatisfied with this answer, and was about to continue asking, when he suddenly heard Meng Shu, who had been quiet, speak, "Ye Gongzi is from Taizhou?" I've seen your work. Truly skilled. ”
Ye Qing turned her head and looked at her in surprise, "Where has the girl seen her?" How do you know it's my work? ”
"In the first two years, our Liangzhou branch bought a batch of tired silk jewelry from your Taizhou branch." Meng Shu said softly: "Among them, there are three particularly exquisite silk entangled headdresses, and I saw small leaf characters on the back of the flowers and leaves. ”
Ye Qing nodded suddenly, clasped his fists and smiled, "The girl has won the prize." But it was just a fluke to get the favor of the owner of the shop. ”
Meng Shu looked at him, his eyes were solemn, and he said seriously, "I never praise people." ”
Wang Minzhi and Zhuang Runqing couldn't help laughing, and Li Jingshan couldn't help laughing. Ye Qing scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Yes, it was Xiaosheng who said the wrong thing, and the girl praised it right." ”
Laugh and continue to beat the drum and pass the flowers. The pomegranate finally reached Li Jingshan's hands. Zhuang Runqing took the lead in asking, "Are you from Minzhou?" The new gilding process there has been a fire in the past two years, do you know that master? ”
Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled shyly: "It's the little sister." ”
The three of them were surprised: "It's you?!" ”
Only Ye Qing was eating melons leisurely, watching their surprised looks. Thinking back to his reaction when he heard the news, he couldn't help but smile. Without him, because they didn't expect that the master who innovated a new process would be so young.
After a while, Zhuang Runqing sighed, "Come on, with your craftsmanship, the training quota in Minzhou will be yours." ”
Wang Minzhi asked curiously, "Is this gilding process difficult?" Why don't you tell me how to do it? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Shu raised her eyelids and glanced at her. Li Jingshan didn't care, and briefly explained the steps of the gilding process.
Zhuang Runqing said, "I don't know if Tianqiaotang will open a course on gilding craftsmanship." Otherwise, wouldn't you be invited to explain? ”
Li Jingshan smiled and shook her head, "Probably not." The process is not yet difficult enough to be taught in a class. ”
The porcelain cups and bamboo chopsticks returned to Li Jingshan's hands to start a new round of games. This time the flowers fell into Ye Qing's hands. Li Jingshan picked a safe topic again, "Senior Brother Ye, you can just talk about your love." ”
Unexpectedly, Ye Qing touched his nose and thought for a long time, then hesitated and said, "Hobby...... Does making jewelry count? ”
"Wow, you're a workaholic!" Zhuang Runqing was still shaking the pastry in his mouth, and he screamed strangely.
"Not really." Ye Qing said, "It's just that when making jewelry, I will be very focused and devoted, and I will feel very relaxed." ”
"I forgot about things." Meng Shu said softly.
Ye Qing arched his hand again, "Girl, see you!" ”
Meng Shu actually stood up and Shi Shiran returned the salute. Li Jingshan saw it in her eyes and winked at Ye Qing.
The game goes on.
Wang Minzhi took the pomegranate and said, "My hobby? Love to play! I like to study anything interesting. There are also landscapes around my hometown, and I pestered my two older brothers to take me around. ”
Then the pomegranate came to Zhuang Runqing's hand. Before he could speak, Wang Minzhi preemptively said, "You don't need to talk about your hobbies, everyone knows it." She pointed to the half-eaten mooncake in his hand and said with a smile, "Love to eat!" ”
"Hey, exactly." Zhuang Runqing put the moon cake in his mouth and said with a smile, "Only food in this world cannot be disappointed." ”
"Your answer doesn't count." Wang Minzhi relied on the fact that she was the commander this time, and said with a wicked smile, "You should do a 'big adventure' this time." ”
"Huh? Want to put on a show? I won't do anything. Zhuang Runqing shook his head like a rattle.
Wang Minzhi didn't plan to let him go so easily: "Your Kunqu opera in Suizhou is famous all over the country, so you can give us two sentences of 'the concubine is drunk'." ”
"Poof!" Zhuang Runqing squirted out a mouthful of tea in his mouth, and shook the robe on his body, "Look at my body, where is there a little bit of concubine style on my body?" ”
"Ha, it's just fun, do you still expect you to be a pillar of the red flower, come on." Wang Minzhi grinned.
Zhuang Runqing patted the pastry crumbs on his hands, pulled the gown on his body again, raised his head, and said proudly, "Come on." Listen up. ”
、
He stood in the open space in front of the court, twisted his waist slightly, leaned his body obliquely, and pulled an orchid finger, pointing to the moon wheel in the sky, pinching his voice and singing: "When the moon is in the sky, it is just like Chang'e leaving the moon palace......"
This singing posture is so good!
However, in the next moment, he stumbled under his feet when he was back to his heart, and almost fell on his horse. Hurriedly staggered to stabilize his figure, and smiled awkwardly, "No, no, no, let everyone laugh." ”
Everyone laughed and praised it, it was supposed to be the next round. Zhuang Runqing suddenly looked at Meng Shu and said, "We have all had two rounds, but Miss Meng didn't even take one turn." It's not fair. ”
He knocked down the porcelain cup and stuffed the pomegranate directly into Meng Shu's hand, "This round is Miss Meng." ”
Meng Shu took the pomegranate and nodded slightly, "I am from Changzhou Mansion, and I have also entered the capital after several rounds of selection. Hobbies, reading. ”
Be concise and to the point. Before everyone could react, she had already completed the first two rounds of content answers.
Zhuang Runqing, who was sitting in the village this round, laughed twice, "Miss Meng is really honest." ”
Meng Shu still nodded lightly, and reached out to take the bamboo chopsticks and porcelain cup in his hand, "It's my turn." ”
She turned her back and began to tap the porcelain cup, and suddenly her hand struck, and the pomegranate happened to pass to Li Jingshan's hand.
Meng Shu looked at Li Jingshan fixedly, her big, big apricot eyes were as deep as ink, and she asked in a deep voice: "You call Senior Brother Ye Gongzi, are you the same school?" Why are you in Minzhou, he is in Taizhou? ”
Li Jingshan didn't expect Meng Shu to pay attention to this, and glanced at Ye Qing before saying, "No, we just met on the way to Beijing, and everyone is going to enter Tianqiao Hall to learn art together, and it is not an exaggeration to call them senior brothers and sisters in the order of the eldest and youngest." ”
She smiled, "Aren't we all brothers and sisters?" ”
Meng Shu nodded faintly, there was no expression on her face, but Li Jingshan seemed to see a hint of relief in her eyes. She was about to think that she had passed the customs and was about to reach out to get the porcelain cup to pick up the village, when she suddenly heard Meng Shu ask, "Do you have someone you like?" ”
Li Jingshan was shocked, and couldn't help but look at Ye Qing again, and happened to see Ye Qing also look at her in surprise, and shook her head slightly.
Li Jingshan didn't know that these small movements of them were fully watched by Meng Shu. She groaned slightly, still unwilling to hide it, and nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Something in Meng Shu's eyes faded secretly, but he still nodded lightly and handed over the bamboo chopsticks and porcelain cup.
Li Jingshan started the next round of sitting in the village, but her mind was no longer here, and she flew to the Guigui wine banquet in Juxian Tower.
-----
At this time, Juxian Building, the lights are bright and green, and it is a lively time.
Ruan Mingyu shuttled among the guests with a wine glass, happily hearing people call him "the big shopkeeper", accepting people's congratulations, nodding frequently with the guests, and pushing the glass to change the lamp.
He saw his father greeting people not far away, and walked over with a wine jug.
The two fathers and sons stood side by side for a while, Ruan Jinghong took a look at his free time, and suddenly asked, "When did you see that I had plans to develop the official market?" ”
"Very early." Ruan Mingyu smiled at the guests who walked by, and said softly, "You encouraged the second brother to put aside his business and enter the academy, and I began to think about this matter." ”
The surprise in Ruan Jinghong's eyes flashed, and he nodded, "Your second brother has always only liked to read, and you weren't sure at that time." And then? ”
