Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Beauty Has No Intention of a Lover
The crossbowman sat on the high platform and waited for a while. Gou Sucai walked up from behind the screen.
Interestingly, the crossbow man didn't catch her attention.
She said to the crowd in the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, the little woman was rude just now. The woman in the hat was a good sister of mine, and I hadn't seen her for a long time, so I talked a little more. And that Bao Xia Shi is her fiancΓ©, which farce just now, I hope you don't care too much. Next, the final assessment will be held, and the few who have been promoted will be invited to the stage again. β
As soon as Gou Su's words fell, a voice sounded from the audience, which was the short swordsman standing next to the old man Murong said, "Third Miss, have you forgotten my brother, he has been waiting for you for a long time." β
When Gou Su heard this, she noticed the Tsing Yi Xiaodao sitting on the red carpet, she frowned slightly, and walked over.
When the crossbowman saw Gou Su coming, he hurriedly got up with a smile on his face.
Gou Su was a little reluctant, but he didn't lose his demeanor, and said with a smile: "Little Zhenren, the little girl was a little anxious just now, and she forgot that you haven't been assessed yet." You don't have to blame. β
The crossbow man was a little helpless, but after thinking about it for a moment, this was not his chance to "escape". hurriedly opened his mouth and replied: "Third Miss, Xiaodao came to see the excitement. This stage assessment is also a mistake, you don't have to take it too seriously. In this case, since Xiaodao stepped down from power, how could he delay the third lady's time more. β
At this point, the crossbowman didn't want to stay too long, so he set off and walked towards the stage.
"Little real person, please stop." Gou Su said behind him.
The crossbowman turned around and stopped at the entrance of the ladder.
Gou Su continued: "Little Zhenren, the rules are like this, presumably you don't want the people in the audience to point fingers at the little woman. β
She bit her lip lightly, saw Xiaodao nodded, and said to everyone in the audience: "Due to the negligence of the little woman, this game has snubbed the little crossbow real person." So I decided to let Xiao Zhenren advance directly, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
The crowd all embraced Miss San's wise choice.
The people who have been promoted on the stage have already stood up, and the crossbow man has no choice but to agree, and it is difficult to refuse!
Gou Su began to instruct the maids and guards to prepare for the final assessment.
"The assessment begins!"
The summons officer shouted.
The audience began to fall silent.
On the stage, Gou Su looked at the five people and said, "Five sons, ask for advice." β
Zheng Qichang moved first when he heard this, "Third Miss, Zheng has a song called Jiangshan Genius, please listen to it." After that, a maid handed over the flute.
The sound of a flute circulated on the high platform, attracting the infinite scenery of the country in front of everyone. The talented man stands in the center of the song, which is probably the meaning of this song.
The sound of the flute stopped, Zheng Qichang hugged his fists and thanked the surrounding crowd, and the whispering boat head was already full of rouge women, mostly attracted by the sound of the flute.
He made a gesture of invitation to Gou Su, and Gou Su smiled, "Zheng Gongzi's Xiaoqu attainments can be described as a famous family's style, as if people can see the beautiful scenery of the country." Gou is known as a confidant of Guzheng Hongchen and came to visit. β
Gou Su sat in front of the guzheng, his eyes closed, and he exhaled lightly, his fingertips on the strings like splashing ink and writing flowers, and the sound of the piano was like the gentle sound of Huishui, and it was like a lingering love swept in. There are already beautiful women on the bow crying silently, and the eyes of the knights are full of tenderness.
At the end of the song, the audience applauded thunderously and applauded.
Zheng Qichang sighed that he was ashamed of himself, and hurriedly left the stage.
Bao Tingshi's face also changed.
Wen Renxiong then wrote poems on the topic of drinking and asked for advice. thought that the victory was in hand, but he was so shocked by Gou Su's drinking order that he was speechless.
Luke, the question has nothing to do with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He only asked a word and quietly left the scene.
This was a surprise to many people present. The words he asked were quite exquisite: as a person in the rivers and lakes, the sword in his hand and the people around him are more important.
Gou Su has a reply: Some people should be the sword in their hands, and some people should be the people next to them.
This must have been said to Luke's heart, so he was willing to lose.
In fact, as a person in the rivers and lakes, the swords and swords in his hands are almost more important than his own life. Who would be willing to "break the sword" for the sake of a beautiful woman? And what red-faced woman wants to be inferior to the sword next to her in the eyes of the person she likes?
Therefore, it is difficult to choose between the two, so simply follow your own heart.
Luke is probably the kind of person who follows his heart.
There were two vacant people on the stage, and Gou Su was a little disappointed. After all, someone had already made her heart flutter just now. But in the eyes of that son, he couldn't compare to the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a voice came to her ears, "Third Miss, Xiaodao has been watching after a few times. There's a question for you. β
Gou Su nodded gloomily.
"Does the third lady already have the answer in her heart, why do you want to continue?"
A little sadness floated in Gou Su's eyes, "The little real person is kind, Gou Su understands it." But there are some things that don't just mean what I want to be. She then glanced at Yang Li next to the crossbowman, "Please don't think about it too much. β
When the crossbowman heard the answer, he hugged his fist at Gou Su, "Third Miss, the gossip question has been asked, and the answer is also what I think in my heart." thinks that she can't compare to Miss San in all aspects, so she stepped down and waited. After speaking, the crossbow man returned to Brother Xiao's side.
Gou Su stood silently on the stage, waiting for the last person's question.
Yang Li's eyes were a little complicated, and he struggled for a moment. Secretly observed the history of Gou Ting, heard the cough in the pavilion, and also told the stage to leave.
The first choice of son-in-law ended in vain.
Some of the people in the audience understood it, and some of them didn't understand it. But no one spoke about it.
Gou Su returned to the pavilion and apologized to Gou Tingshi. Although Gou Tingshi was unhappy in his heart, he didn't have any accountability, but the more he looked at the Bao Tingshi in the pavilion opposite, the more unpleasant he became, and he scolded in his heart, "It's really a villain"...
"It's getting late, all the heroes and the whispering boat platform, and the two assassins have a banquet for guests from all over the world. When the lights are hung all over the north and south bridges, Miss Bao will take the stage..."
The summons officer shouted from the stage.
The crowd moved when they heard the wind, and the Huishui River was very lively.
The whispering boat was crowded with people, and several floors of buildings were occupied.
β¦β¦
On the top of the boat pavilion, the crossbowman sat at a table with Brother Xiao and Old Man Murong, and there was a familiar face on the table, it was the white-clothed swordsman Luke.
Luke is also a dashing person, and he has just taken a seat and has a good conversation with a few people.
The crossbow man didn't talk about this swordsman in Sanqing City at first sight. But judging by his words and deeds, he should be a friend to make.
After a few glasses of wine, Brother Xiao spoke: "Brothers are from all over the country, and it is rare to get together today." Wait for the eldest lady of the Bao family to open the stage, and I have to bother a few people to cheer for Xiao... Xiao is here to give a few glasses. β
After Brother Xiao finished speaking, he was about to raise his glass to drink, and someone at the table next to him said, "Brother Xiao, don't you look down on the brothers who boarded the ship together, just toast the wine on your table." β
Brother Xiao's old face turned red at first, put down the wine glass, changed the wine jug, and shouted to the people at the tables next to him: "Brothers, how could Xiao forget you." It's not that the few people around him can't drink enough, they can only toast the wine glass first, and they still have to carry a pot to fight. With that, he threw his head back and poured wine.
The crowd either raised their glasses and drank them all, or raised pots to drink.
Brother Xiao laughed heartily, and said again: "Brothers, wait for Xiao to decide to take the stage and give it a try, you have to support a lot." β
Everyone toasted, and the old man Murong also lifted the wine jug and said that he wanted to fight with this guy.
The crossbowman smiled helplessly at Luke, and the two casually talked about what they had seen...
The lights on the bridge were already full, and the crowds were returning one after another.
A small and delicate woman on the stage had been waiting for a long time, and seeing that the crowd was quiet, she took away the delicate fan on her face and revealed her face. is a lovely person, with a well-proportioned figure, a small face with melon seeds, and a small cherry mouth. There was a hint of sharpness between her eyebrows, and she looked at the crowd and said, "Little girl Baobao, I have seen all the heroes of the rivers and lakes." As she spoke, she looked at Gou Su, who was already sitting next to a lady in the pavilion, "The third sister couldn't choose the person she liked before, and Bao'er regrets it here." Turning to the crowd again, he smiled, "This girl chooses a son-in-law tonight, and the method is very simple. It was the people involved who helped me sell an object, and they sold it to me. Seeing the crowd's puzzled faces, she explained, "Don't you feel awkward... You just have to remember that I don't want this thing, but I don't want to lose it. So I will give it to you, and you will sell it to me, and convince me that I like it. Let me gladly accept it, willing to spend money on it. β
Someone in the crowd finally understood, it was nothing more than selling something. began to urge Miss Bao to hurry up.
Bao Bao laughed. said: "Now that you all know what it means, let's get started." β
There was a guard on the stage who brought an object, it was a gilded toad, and it was so large that it was half a person tall. Bao Bao opened his mouth to introduce, "This thing is a golden toad, which is made of coins from various countries, which means ushering in the wealth of the four directions... However, this girl thought that it occupied too much space, and stayed in the boudoir all day, which was in the way, and it was not of much use, so she took it out for the next competition..."Bao Bao looked at the crowd with a surprised look, and continued: "What are you waiting for, just go on stage and give it a try." β
The crowd began to stir.
A fat-headed, big-eared man squeezed through the crowd and stepped onto the stage.
Bao Bao greeted him with a smile and signaled that it was time to start.
The man smiled, the fat on his face rolled like a wave, and said: "Miss Bao, the contemptible Wang Gui of Qinghe County, has been in business for decades, and has never seen such a treasure. The man said, looking at the gilded toad, "Miss, look... Don't embarrass these brutes. You make a price, no matter how high Wang is, he will buy this golden toad, and then give it to you, how about it as a dowry for Wang Gui to join the Bao family? β
The smile on Bao Bao's face was fading little by little. She glared at the man angrily and shouted to the side, "Send this prince to swim in the river for a night swim." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bao family's guards held the man up. The man struggled, was dragged towards the river, and said with a mouth that refused to give up: "Miss Bao think about it again... This transaction is beneficial to the Bao family... What are you going to do... Ahh
The crowd laughed and cursed with disdain.
Bao Bao also wanted to laugh a little, but he held back, and then let the others continue to try on stage.
Next, more than a dozen people came to the stage, and they were all asked by Miss Bao to "run away".
Brother Xiao beside the crossbow man finally couldn't help it, straightened his appearance, bowed his hand to the person next to him, and walked towards the stage with what he thought was majestic.
On the stage, the eldest lady of the Bao family chuckled at him, he was ecstatic in his heart, and he didn't pay attention, and a big horse came to the staircase under the stage.
There was laughter behind him...
