Chapter 465: Letting go
"Welcome everyone to come here, waiting for me and Dean Chen of Zhilan Academy to announce the results of the last poetry contest together!"
"In the last poetry competition, more than 100 students from Linfeng Academy and Zhilan College performed very well. In order to show fairness, we intend to invite the most famous and unborn Confucians of our Daxiao in an anonymous way. ”
"They are Zheng Yuan, Nie Zhengrong, and Xu Shizhong!" Qiu Qi said this loudly, and suddenly opened his body sideways with Chen Sujin.
The next moment, Xiao Qiongzhi was familiar with Mr. Zheng Yuan. Two old men in their sixties and seventies came from the side of the window at the same time and appeared in front of the window.
Xiao Qiongzhi remembered that when Prince Qiu was in Zhoujia Village, he once said that his grandfather, whose grandfather was named Nie Zhengrong, subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at the two old men beside Mr. Zheng.
These two old men, one is tall, neither fat nor thin, with a clear face, long eyebrows like a sword, and deep eyes, which look faintly similar to Prince Qiu in terms of figure, face, eyebrows and eyes.
The other was tall and fat, with a fat and ruddy face, long eyebrows like a curved bow, and clear eyes, which looked no similar to Prince Qiu's figure, face, eyebrows and eyes.
"Now, I'll throw a shuttlecock down from the window, whoever receives it, who will guess, the three Confucians in front of everyone, one of them, who is the one who guesses correctly, there will be a prize." Qiu Qitong suddenly took a step forward, poked his head out from behind Zheng Yuan, and said loudly.
After speaking, a shuttlecock decorated with colorful brocade feathers was thrown down from the window by him.
However, maybe his strength was not great, and the shuttlecock was only thrown to the position of the four or five rows of people in front.
Compared with the nearly 5,000 Yanyu students, students, and people, this position is too far away for them, and they can only look at the ocean and sigh.
It's Xiao Qiongzhi, who is now staying in the sixth row or so in front.
According to her martial arts, when the shuttlecock is thrown, she only needs to jump slightly to catch the shuttlecock.
However, she felt that she had recognized and guessed the identities of Zheng Yuan, Nie Zhengrong, and Xu Shizhong, and there was no need to participate in the quiz and show off in public.
At the same time, as a dignified princess Xiao, if she is the first to come forward to grab the shuttlecock and participate in the quiz, it will definitely damage the enthusiasm of other students and the people.
After all, according to her status and the ruthless methods she just used to kill Xiao Zhaohui, all the other people present are just normal, who would be stupid enough to snatch the shuttlecock with her?
Therefore, she had the intention of not participating in the quiz, and she had no intention of catching the shuttlecock at all.
However, Zhou Meixing, who is not far from her, is allowed by Prince Zhao to meet Xiao Qiongzhi every year when Prince Zhao asks Xiao Qiongzhi to go to Chu to fight golden silk dates, so she has also seen Zheng Yuan, who accompanied Prince Zhao to receive Xiao Qiongzhi in order to see Xiao Qiongzhi.
She saw the shuttlecock flying towards this direction, and immediately jumped to pick it up.
However, it did not work out.
Because, the people in the fourth and fifth rows may have just seen her appear with Xiao Zhengzhen, giving her face, and did not jump out to grab it.
But Yu Qiushuang, who was also not far from Xiao Qiongzhi, and the group of girls from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy next to Yu Qiushuang, were different, and they all jumped into the shuttlecock with a tacit understanding.
When a group of people met in the air, they all fought with a giggle in order to catch the shuttlecock first.
As a result, the shuttlecock fell to the ground.
The surrounding students and people who did not participate in the shuttlecock snatching thought that they had a chance to take advantage of it, and rushed up to grab the shuttlecock.
Zhou Meixing and Yu Qiushuang were willing to obey, and immediately had a tacit understanding to stop and stop them.
Those students and ordinary people had no martial arts, and they were not their opponents at all, so they had to retreat to the side stupidly, leaving Zhou Meixing and Yu Qiushuang to continue to grab shuttlecocks on the ground.
After a while, Zhou Meixing was anxious because she couldn't grab the shuttlecock for a long time, and she had an idea, and turned her head and shouted loudly to Hongxing: "Hongxing, I plan to rob our master of the shuttlecock, but Yu Qiushuang and the others are so powerful that I really don't have the strength to grab it, come over and help me!" ”
"Good-"
"Wait!"
When Hong Xing was about to help Zhou Meixing, she was stopped by Xiao Qiongzhi loudly.
She glanced at Hongxing, then at Zhou Meixing, and said softly: "There are three great Confucians upstairs, one of them is one of whom I have seen before, and the other one is my friend's grandfather, who looks a little similar to my friend, and I can recognize it." ”
"In this way, I can naturally guess who the third person is. So. I'm not going to participate in the quiz, otherwise, it won't be fair to anyone else. ”
"The master is right, I understand." Hongxing immediately completely dispelled the idea of helping Zhou Meixing.
"Yes, the master is right, and I understand." Zhou Meixing blushed, and did not continue to grab the shuttlecock with Yu Qiushuang.
Xiao Qiongzhi can give up guessing because she knows Mr. Zheng, but she just tried to guess because she knew Mr. Zheng, and when she couldn't grab Yu Qiushuang, she tried to use Xiao Qiongzhi as an excuse to use Hongxing, which was too confused.
Even if Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't guess her original purpose, Xiao Qiongzhi knew that Mr. Zheng knew something, she always knew.
Moreover, Xiao Qiongzhi herself didn't want to participate in the quiz because she knew Mr. Zheng, but she knew that Xiao Qiongzhi knew Mr. Zheng, and she wanted Xiao Qiongzhi to participate in the quiz, which was tantamount to letting Xiao Qiongzhi see that she didn't understand Xiao Qiongzhi's mind, and at the same time, she was still a self-righteous and opportunistic person.
"I'm sorry, master, I shouldn't have just grabbed the shuttlecock with Yu Qiushuang and them." She thought about it, deliberately walked up to Xiao Qiongzhi, and said to Xiao Qiongzhi with a sincere face.
Xiao Qiongzhi reached out and patted Zhou Meixing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You just don't understand me, you don't feel sorry for me, when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember to ask me what I mean first, just fine." ”
"Actually, it's all about participation, and if you want to participate, there's nothing wrong with that. Because you are different from me, you only know Mr. Zheng, Mr. Nie and Mr. Xu, you don't know you at all, you still have to guess. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait and see if I can grab the shuttlecock, and if I do, I'll try it." Zhou Meixing hurriedly said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Xiao Qiongzhi's words hit her heart.
knew that Xiao Qiongzhi was so open-minded, she directly explained at the beginning that she wanted to participate in the quiz and let Hongxing help her, but she was afraid that she would be able to achieve her goal.
She secretly remembered this incident in her heart, and planned not to be so clever in the future.
"Meixing, this is yours, here you go!" At this time, Yu Qiushuang suddenly took the shuttlecock, walked over with a smile, and handed it to her.
She subconsciously took it in her hand, and then asked a little puzzled: "Yu Qiushuang, you have already grabbed it, why do you want to give it to me?" ”
"Because my little sisters and I didn't want to snatch your shuttlecock in the first place, we were all taking the opportunity to try our martial arts with you." Yu Qiushuang still said with a smile.
"So that's ......" Zhou Meixing couldn't help but smile a little dumbly.
Qiu Qitong in the Yanyu Pavilion saw this, and suddenly said loudly to Zhou Meixing: "The female student wearing the costume of Zhilan Academy below, you have already got the shuttlecock, now, please choose one of the three old gentlemen, and guess who it is!" ”
