Chapter 155: Pitching Game
The second prince Rong Yu looked at Yuan Jiaojiao with his eyes and asked, "You are Yuan Jiaojiao of Yuan Mansion?"
Yuan Jiaojiao bowed slightly: "Back to Your Highness, it is the courtier." ”
She still remembered that Ji Yanning said that the second prince needs to stay away, and it is best not to have anything to do with him, so her attitude is both respectful and a little alienated.
Rong Yu glanced at Murong Yixue, and then at Yuan Jiaojiao, but he felt a little funny, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
"I just came over, what were you talking about?" asked Rong Yu with interest.
It's okay that he didn't ask, and the county lord of Yalan said as if he was complaining: "It's not Yuan Jiaojiao, and she looks like no one in her eyes." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao said on the side: "It's our fault, when we see the county lord, we should bow three times and bow nine times to meet the identity of the county lord." ”
As soon as she said this, the face of the county lord of Yalan sank a little, Yuan Jiaojiao is a young lady of the family, although she has no grade on her body, but she can make her bow three times and bow to such a big gift, she is only a county lord, and she is not qualified.
Murong Yixue didn't want to make a joke in front of the second prince, so she gently pulled the sleeve of the county lord of Yalan, signaling that she should not do too much.
Rong Yu looked at this scene, but suddenly separated Yuan Jiaojiao and Murong Yixue, these two people's temperaments are very different.
He said: "Since it was just a misunderstanding, why don't we go to the garden together to appreciate some poems, calligraphy and paintings?"
Now that the second prince had spoken, the county lord of Yalan couldn't say anything more, and several people followed him towards the front yard.
When Rong Yu passed by Ji Yanning's side, he suddenly paused and turned his head to look at her: "This girl is a student, I don't know which house it is?"
In fact, there should be a lot of girls born in front of him, and it is impossible to pay attention to every one of them on weekdays, but seeing Ji Yanning standing aside obediently, not saying anything, or even looking at him, he felt that such a person was a little interesting.
Ji Yanning bowed slightly, and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the people's daughter is the granddaughter of the squire Liu Yuan of the Ministry of War, Ji Yanning of Jiangzhou. ”
The county lord of Yalan said disdainfully: "It's just a merchant girl who wants to climb the high branches." ”
Ji Yanning lowered his eyebrows, but did not refute.
"Ji Yanning. Rong Yu read the name lightly, and seeing that she was beautiful, he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to walk towards the front yard.
Yuan Jiaojiao glanced at Ji Yanning, and I have to say that Ji Yanning's person is really well disguised, and she can't tell that this is one of the murderers who murdered the second prince's brother.
There are many people who came to Shangshu Mansion this time, Ji Yanning looked at the past, and saw that there were many people, but he was not interested.
When the others saw the second prince coming, they also got up and saluted.
However, the twin sisters Murong Yixue and Yuan Jiaojiao behind the second prince have attracted the attention of many people.
"It's all casual. Rong Yu said.
Everyone answered yes, but the second prince was there, and they still restrained a little.
Many people know that the second prince's trip must be for Murong Yixue, Murong Yixue is the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and she is famous, which is not something that ordinary sons of families can imagine.
The second prince looked at the little prince of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and asked, "What were you playing just now?"
The little boy smiled: "Since it is a poetry club, it is naturally a poetry appreciation or a talent performance." Use the pitcher to help the fun, start throwing the pot by the first person, if it is hit, you can choose any one person to carry out the next round of pitching, the form of pitching is also determined by the previous person, if you can't vote, you have to perform a talent, so that it can be the turn of the next person. ”
Ji Yanning looked over, and there were more than a dozen pots of different sizes and distances in the open place in the garden, placed not far away, and a rope separated the starting point, not too close, so that the former person could point to one of the pots and let the people behind cast it.
Rong Yu listened to this rule, but nodded and said, "That prince is also watching the excitement on the side. ”
Xiao Gongzi said: "If you want me to say, the second prince can also come once, so that everyone can see His Highness's powerful pitching pot and feast their eyes." ”
Rong Yu just smiled and didn't say much.
Even if he wanted to participate, he was afraid that no one would dare to call him.
Ji Yanning followed behind Yuan Jiaojiao, she didn't want to be in the limelight, and naturally she wouldn't show any talent, just throwing a pot for such a trivial matter, she and Yuan Jiaojiao were particularly good at it.
The people who participated in the garden, and then a young lady of the family who had just been ordered, began to throw pots.
Because she was a little nervous, even the most recent one, she couldn't throw it in.
Finally, he immediately composed a poem, and then he ordered the next person.
When it comes to composing poems, in fact, the people who come here have already prepared several poems that can be used, otherwise they will probably feel that they will lose face if they make a joke.
After a few rounds, Ji Yanning also figured out some rules, if it was a woman, the previous one naturally couldn't choose a pot that was too far away, but chose the nearest two for them to vote, so that even if they didn't want to perform their talents, it would not be difficult to vote in.
And those sons always have to play a prestige in front of people, so they choose some distant pots, so as to show their beautiful pot throwing skills.
As the long arrow fell into the pot in the distance, the man smiled very brightly, looked at Yuan Jiaojiao and said, "It's better to ask Miss Yuan to give it a try." ”
Everyone's eyes looked in the direction of Yuan Jiaojiao.
Yuan Jiaojiao didn't twist, stood up directly from her position, and pulled out an arrow from the quiver on the side.
The man said: "Since Miss Yuan is behind the gate, it is better to cast the sixth pot and bottle." ”
Ji Yanning's eyes glanced at the man, and when he saw him looking in the direction of Murong Yixue from time to time, he knew his intentions.
It's just that I want to see Yuan Jiaojiao do something.
However, what disappointed him was that after listening to his words, Yuan Jiaojiao threw the arrow in her hand without hesitation, hitting the sixth pot and bottle.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and then he smiled: "Miss Yuan is really powerful." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao bowed slightly, and said lightly: "After all, after the door." ”
She pulled out another arrow from the quiver next to her and handed it to the man in front of her.
The little boy of Shangshu Mansion on the side said: "Miss Yuan, now that you have successfully passed the test, you can designate someone to cast the pot." ”
"That's what I've appointed. Yuan Jiaojiao smiled and said to the man just now, "The farthest pot, I think it should be okay to come to the child." ”
The man's face was slightly stunned, but he still took the arrow in her hand, stood outside the line, and threw it at the farthest pot.
Didn't hit.
The man's face was slightly red, so he wrote a poem with a stroke of his pen.
However, he still designated Yuan Jiaojiao: "Since Miss Yuan is behind the gate, it is better to open your eyes and teach you how to shoot the farthest one." ”
As soon as he said this, the other people had different faces.
This is clearly embarrassing Yuan Jiaojiao, although Yuan Jiaojiao was born in the general's family, but who doesn't know that she was only recently recognized back to the Yuan family, not to mention the current appearance of General Yuan's mansion, what can she teach Yuan Jiaojiao?
A few sons and brothers who were also born in Jiangmen couldn't look at it, and said: "Chang Lu, you know how to bully a little girl because of this! It's really embarrassing, let me let you see what Jiangmen is after!"
Chang Lu heard others say this, and said: "It's just a game, there is nothing if you lose, and there is one more opportunity to show your talents!"
A hint of chill flashed in Yuan Jiaojiao's eyes, she pulled out an arrow, stood inside and outside the line, fixed for a while, and threw the arrow in her hand.
In the farthest part of the pitcher.
"Wow!
"Sure enough, it's behind the door, it's terrible. ”
"Chang Lu, slap your face hahaha!
Several sons laughed happily and laughed at Chang Lu one after another.
And the other ladies of the family looked at Yuan Jiaojiao's gaze, although there were a few disdainful, but most of them were envious or gentle.
Chang Lu's face was a little overwhelmed, and he turned around and was about to return to his position, but he was still stopped by Yuan Jiaojiao.
"Chang Gongzi, didn't you ask me to teach you how to hit?" Yuan Jiaojiao said, "So the next opportunity will be given to you." ”
Chang Lu's footsteps paused, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Yuan Jiaojiao.
However, Yuan Jiaojiao returned to her position as if nothing had happened, and winked at Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning chuckled, he was really a master who refused to be wronged.
Looking at the actions between these two people, the smile in the eyes of the second prince gradually faded.
Chang Lu unexpectedly didn't vote, and wrote another poem, and he didn't dare to call Yuan Jiaojiao anymore, but chose one of the sons who were clamoring just now.
Murong Yixue was always watching from the sidelines, but her face didn't have much expression, and she looked at all this with a faint smile.
Not long after, Murong Yixue was named by a woman and chose a relatively close pot and bottle.
Murong Yixue got up and threw the arrow into it, turned around and said, "Then I'll choose Miss Ji." ”
The others followed her gaze and looked at Ji Yanning.
Whispers began to be heard in the crowd, as if asking who this Ji girl was.
"Seeing that Miss Ji seems to have a good relationship with Miss Yuan, it shouldn't be bad to come to the pot, and I heard that Miss Ji has a good talent, so it's better to choose the farthest pot and bottle, if I don't vote, I can still have the honor to meet Miss Ji's talent." Murong Yixue said.
Ji Yanning got up from his seat and said with a slight smile: "Miss Murong is laughing, in terms of talent, who can compare to you who has the number one talented woman in Chang'an?"
She drew a long arrow, stood outside the line, and without much thought, threw it straight ahead without hesitation.
Hit the mark.
"It's such a coincidence that we can all hit it. Ji Yanning's expression looked a little surprised.
Yuan Jiaojiao: You just pretend!
