Chapter 109: Receiving Rewards, Marriages, and Happiness
"It's just a breath to go to a place where there are fewer people."
Shi Feiwan replied to Bai's sentence.
On the other side, a few eyes also swept towards her. Unlike the simple curiosity and inquiry of the others, who swept away not too late, there was obviously something else complicated in the eyes of the few scrutines.
Shi Feiwan sat down, raised his head, raised his glass, and suddenly made a toast gesture to the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Little Master Mu, don't you drink?" ”
Directly opposite her, exactly the same as at the luncheon, it was Mu Xi who was sitting. It's just that the difference is that the arrogance on this little grandfather Mu's face is completely gone at this time. Although he looked calm, sweat oozed from his forehead from time to time.
He raised his head, his eyes fell directly on Shi Feiwan, his expression didn't look like an injured person, he also raised his glass, and replied: "Miss Shi is happy now, isn't it too early?" ”
He seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, and his words seemed to have deep meaning.
"Really?" It's not too late. I secretly wondered in my heart that this person had strong forbearance.
"Boss, why are you sweating so much?"
The people around Mu Xi saw the two competing against each other at this time, and they were a little surprised, and they appeared here at this time without any embarrassment.
They didn't participate in the conversation, but one of them suddenly asked about Mu Xi.
"Boss, I look at you and your face seems a little pale." The other also asked.
The rest of the other buddies also looked at Mu Xi with some confusion when they heard this.
After taking a closer look, he saw that Mu Xi's face was a little abnormal, and he was suddenly suspicious.
said that he was going to take revenge on that ugly girl, how could he see that he was even more embarrassed by this appearance?
“……”
Although the conversation between several people was quiet, Shi Feiwan, who was sitting opposite, had better hearing than ordinary people, and when it came to her ears, her hand holding the cup paused.
They...... This is not known yet?
Mu Xi, after he came back, didn't he talk to his buddies about what happened just now?
"It's fine. It's just the sequelae of the practice a while ago. Mu Xi replied casually.
"......" lowered his eyes when he was not late, and the thoughts under his eyes rolled-
I really didn't say it!
Shi Feiwan remembered the dinner plan that Mu Xi had talked to those people about before. Although they were a little inexplicable and unclear about their motives, it was not difficult to guess that they seemed to be planning to calculate her family affairs.
Now that Mu Xi knows Cen Yin's thoughts about her, he naturally thinks that if that plan continues to be implemented, his buddy named "Ah Ling" will offend the prince of King Qing, and maybe he will get into trouble.
Judging from his previous warning to Cen Yin and his warning to himself at this time, as well as the fact that he was not in a hurry to tell his buddies about Cen Yin's difference to her, Mu Xi is ...... Want to keep their original plan going?
But ...... the hell Why is this persistence?
"Girl, girl, ......" When Shi Feiwan was pondering, Liuyi suddenly came to Shi Feiwan's ear and said: "Girl, the one who asked me to put out the fire for Jia Concubine Niangniang was actually them." ”
"Huh?" Shi Fei's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by her words.
Busy turned his head to look at Liuyi.
Liuyi cautiously pointed to the opposite side.
"Them?"
"Yes." Liuyi replied: "But there is no little grandfather Mu." At the time, he and they hadn't gotten together yet. ”
She didn't remember as well as the girl, and when she saw them at that moment, she didn't remember that they were the same group that sat across from her at luncheon. She remembers the faces of the men who asked him to extinguish the fire for Jia Concubine.
"A bunch of garbage!"
Shi Feiwan scolded in a violent temper.
Liuyi was stunned for a moment.
Shi Feiwan had already turned around at this time, and said, "I know." ”
However, knowing this is just knowing it. Whether this is a coincidence or not, whether there is any calculation, she naturally still does not know.
"Ah Wan, your paper-cutting ......"
At this time, Bai Shi felt that the confrontation between the side and the opposite side was a little weird. But he didn't ask anything, only suddenly asked: "Your boy on the paper-cut, he ......"
"Liu Changqing of the Liu family, Ning Xin of the Loyal and Yong Marquis Mansion, listened to the rain when he built the Anbo Mansion, and Shen Qingyu of the Shen family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, won a big award!"
Before Bai's words were complete, they were suddenly muffled by a very shrill voice.
The voice was ...... loud Suddenly, Shi Feiwan, who grew up in the barracks, was shocked, and almost raised his hands to cover his ears.
But it was precisely because of this harshness that her distracted person immediately paid attention to the theme of the banquet. When I returned to the banquet hall, I found that on the banquet hall, a group of ceremonial officials stood very solemnly in the middle of the banquet hall.
This is no longer the time to view exhibitions freely. At this point, everyone was seated. In addition to eating and drinking, the focus is to "appreciate" today's competitions.
At this time, these ceremonial officials stood up and wanted to present awards to those who had achieved good results in the competition.
And the names that were read in the shrill voice just now achieved excellent results in the competition activity "guessing riddles".
When I read them, I let them go out to receive the award.
It is said that the top five in each event will receive a big prize. And the big reward is to give a reward in front of everyone. And the first place, the reward can be directly made to the Chu Emperor.
The paper-cut works that are not late are the top ten, not the top five, and when receiving the reward, you only need to go down directly to the palace and move it to the individual, and you don't need to be listed to accept the reward in front of so many people.
Of course, at this time, the reward is just a guessing project.
"Didn't you say that the top five would all win big prizes? Why are there only four of them? ”
It's not too late to know some of the rules. At this time, she soon saw the people who had read their names come out of the line and walked to the middle, and knelt down.
When I heard the rain, I was among them.
"This is a prize for the guessing one, in two batches. The Chu people are not together with the Xiliang people. This is the reward of the Chu people, and those who can get a big reward are all solved by the puzzle of Xiliang. It's just that the most difficult special puzzle has not been solved tonight. So there is no leader. Only the second to fifth places will receive the prize. ”
While explaining, Bai Shi looked at the middle, and suddenly said, "Ah Wan, your eighth sister is not simple. ”
It's not too late, and I'm listening to the rain when I watch the reward in the middle. I saw her kneeling generously, not raising her head openly, nor humbling her posture. The other three who received the award with her were two men, one was an important minister of the court, one was a rookie of the court, and the remaining one was a famous talented woman in Kyoto. The daughter of the Shen family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Although Shi Tingyu is only fifth, this "guessing riddle" project relies mostly on brains and knowledge. What can stand out in this project is much more admirable in the eyes of many than other talents such as painting.
"Let's all get flat."
After the four of them knelt down and saluted collectively, they saw Emperor Chu beckoning them to get up. Immediately, his gaze fell on one of the four people, and said, "Liu Qing." ”
"The minister is here."
"You solved the second-most difficult puzzle, right? Tell me your answers and thoughts. ”
Emperor Chu said suddenly.
At this time, the banquet hall is to let everyone appreciate the competition together. Therefore, some typical ones will be presented to you one by one. The puzzle is presented to everyone to guess together, and then the answer is announced. Those who come up to receive the reward have to tell the people their answers.
What these riddles were, they had already been guessed by the public before they were seated.
"Your Majesty ......" only listened to this person named Liu Changqing, and soon began to talk loudly.
After he finished talking, everyone praised him, and the emperor personally rewarded him, and then he withdrew.
Only then did Emperor Chu say again: "Who is Shen Qingyu?" ”
"My emperor, the courtiers are."
One of the remaining three women stepped out.
"This third problem is your solution? Tell me about it. Emperor Chu said again.
"Yes."
Then I listened to the daughter of the Shen family, who is known as a talented woman in Kyoto, and told it calmly.
I hadn't seen this Miss Shen before, but I had heard of her before. She is famous, and her fame in Kyoto is not small.
After Shen Qingyu finished her answer in a few words, many people's faces suddenly appeared. Emperor Chu suddenly laughed and said, "Shen Qing, you have given birth to a good daughter!" ”
This Shen Qing is calling her father's Ministry of Rites.
Lord Shen was named, and hurriedly came to the middle from the side, and said modestly: "Your Majesty, how can the little girl actually have such a mind, she has just listened to many seniors talk about it a lot." ”
"Hey, Shen Qing doesn't have to be too humble. I'm in a high position, but I've heard of your daughter. I can see it today, but it is really a blue heart. ”
With a satisfied smile in his eyes, Emperor Chu suddenly asked, "Shen Qing, is this treasure in your family already engaged?" ”
Lord Shen was sincerely afraid, and hurriedly replied no. Shen Qingyu's cheeks turned red.
"In this case, while tonight is a good day for the public to be beautiful, I will make the decision and point out a family for her, what does Shen Qing think?" Emperor Chu pretended.
Lord Shen was naturally busy with the honor.
"Shen Qingyu, the daughter of the Shen family, is both talented and beautiful, virtuous and generous, and I am very happy to see it today. Now the four princes have reached the age of marriage, and the daughter of the Shen family is in the boudoir, which can be called a match made in heaven with the four princes. For the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman, I now refer to Shen Qingyu as the fourth princess of my royal family, and choose a day to marry the four princes. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”
When Emperor Chu said this, Lord Shen, Shen Qingyu, and the four princes who had just been remembered immediately stood in the center and kowtowed to thank him.
The people around watched, but there were few surprises.
Especially, the ministers of the court.
Emperor Chu has the intention of choosing a concubine for his son tonight, which many people expected. As for who...... There had been some speculation before that.
Emperor Chu's eyeing Shen Qingyu was naturally not a whim. He had only had this intention before tonight, and he knew about this person. Then, through this banquet, I will personally see the candidates and verify their quality.
After Shen Qingyu received the reward, the one from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion began to tell the answer to the fourth question. After he finished speaking, he received the reward and thanked him for retiring. Emperor Chu's gaze fell on Shi Tingyu's face.
"You're from the Anbo Mansion?" Emperor Chu suddenly asked.
