Before the flower-viewing banquet began, Mingzhu had already taken Mrs. Tai and Wei Shu to gather in Cining Palace for breakfast.

After breakfast, a few people chatted together.

"I knew you would be early today." The Queen Mother is sewing a small dress. "The day before yesterday, I was able to believe it, and I was relieved. Knowing that you are worried, I also asked two more questions. said that he had made a great contribution, and there was basically nothing to do at the border. It is estimated that I can return to Beijing before and after the Qingming Festival. ”

Hearing this, my heart suddenly felt much lighter.

"Anyway, there will be a little time before the feast, let's play leaf cards for a while." Pearl proposed.

"Leaf cards?" The Queen Mother naturally didn't know. So Mrs. Tai took the card and carefully taught it to the Queen Mother.

"This is really a married daughter, and there are good things clinging to the old lady. I'm all back. The Queen Mother was a little jealous and deliberately squeezed the pearl.

Mingzhu hurriedly squeezed over, "Isn't this your large amount here, and I just made it?" ”

The Queen Mother felt very strange: "What do I want to do with this little card?" ”

"To the imperial brother, he has so many concubines, and he usually has nothing to do. Each person has a deck of leaf cards to pass the time. I brought a box with me this time. Mingzhu said sensibly.

"You're clever, you can barely get through!" The Queen Mother was arrogant.

"Now that there are four of you, I'll teach you a new way to play. Let's play with two decks of cards! ”

Sure enough, in this time and space where entertainment was scarce, Cining Palace also quickly fell.

At the beginning of the year, the peach blossom banquet is about to begin. The four of them reluctantly put down the leaf card in their hands and walked towards the imperial garden.

When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, there were already men and women, playing in groups. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poems, hops, tea, pitching pots, juju, kicking shuttlecocks...... The whole nine yards.

It's really a beautiful era of open folk customs, and the Wei and Jin dynasties are just like that, right?

"The Queen Mother has arrived." The eunuch with a loud voice reported.

So, a group of people gathered over.

"See the Queen Mother."

"Flat."

Mingzhu noticed that there were more than 100 people gathered here.

Fortunately, the space in the Imperial Garden was large enough, and soon everyone was sitting on both sides according to their respective statuses.

Mingzhu still sat with the Queen Mother.

The first place on the left hand is the super quality of the edict - the Tai Lady (Min family) of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the lower row is the family of the military general system.

The first person on the right hand is also the wife of the princess, the queen's biological mother (Xie's), and the lower row are all the family members of the civil official system.

Seventy percent of the attendees were women, and the other three percent were unmarried men. So, basically such a banquet, also known as a blind date banquet.

said that it was a banquet, but it was more like a grand blind date venue.

First, everyone stood up, raised the fruit wine in their hands, and saluted the Queen Mother.

Then, the Queen Mother made a speech: "The spring is shining, the peach blossoms are just right, and they are coming, I hope you can return happy." ”

Then, the first part began.

"Wine and food are boring, this flying flower order, are you interested?" The Queen Mother asked.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to play, married or young people don't make do with it, so if the unmarried are of the right age, if there are people who are not good at it, wouldn't it be a shame?

About 20 people who were more confident in this project went to the central stage.

Men and women are exactly half, staggered in a circle.

"I'll give you the first order. Today's Shangsi Festival, let's start with the "water" order. The Queen Mother asked.

After speaking, he reacted quickly, tapped the cup in front of him, and "Ding" received the order: "Today's wine fight, Mingdan ditch water head"

It's a little gentleman who looks very uninhibited.

This has a beginning, and then it continues faster and faster. "Ding", "Ding", "Ding" followed for about 30 sentences before slowing down.

There were a few Linghua flowers in front of everyone, and the most was the Xiao Langjun in the lead, and there were six or seven in front of him. I don't know how I learned, but my hands are really fast.

After the last sentence was read, no one answered the order for five breaths. This is the end of the order.

"Whose Xiao Langjun is this?" The Queen Mother asked.

Mrs. Wang replied: "Qi Yu Niangniang, this is the second son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu - Li Xiuyuan. ”

"Not bad." The Queen Mother praised. "In that case, let Mrs. Li issue the second order."

This order is also exquisite, not only to echo the current situation, but also to be difficult and appropriate. Therefore, Mrs. Li issued a "peach" order.

As soon as the words "ding" and "ding" fell, two people answered the order at the same time. It was Li Xiuyuan and a very delicate woman in white.

Li Xiuyuan smiled at the woman and raised his hand to signal the woman to invite first.

The woman didn't squirm either: "The peach is dying, scorching its glory." After picking up, he glanced up at Li Xiuyuan, with a hint of provocation.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care: "The elm willow shades the back eaves, and the peach and Li Luo Hall are in front of the hall." I thought it would be over, but the woman seemed to be competing with him.

Woman: "I don't know whose family." Look at the flowers, peaches, and Li Jin. ”

Li: "Once slandered, two peaches killed three soldiers." ”

Female: "There are beautiful women in the southern country, and they are as beautiful as peaches and plums." ”

Li: "Pu Tao is drunk for a thousand days." Nothing to do nine transfer to the gods. ”

Female: "Splitting peaches all day long, people are in their hearts." ”

Li: "A song of Qing Song, temporarily lead the cherry to break." ”

Female: "Peach Blossom Cave, Yaotai Dream, who shares a piece of spring sorrow?" ”

......

When everyone saw that the two of them were competing, they no longer took orders, but just watched the play. Gradually, the discerning man saw that something was wrong.

Li Xiuyuan also turned a corner at this time, frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and gestured to admit defeat.

The woman was finally a little embarrassed at this time, she could see that Li Xiuyuan was not unable to win, but she just didn't want to entangle with her.

In the blink of an eye, five breaths have passed.

The Queen Mother glanced at the woman meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "Whose daughter is this?" ”

This time, it was Mrs. Wang who answered: "Qi Yu Niangniang, this is the daughter of Lord Zhao, the secretary of the ministry, and her name is Bailian." ”

"Hmm... Not bad. The Queen Mother still said this.

In other words, Mingzhu really admires this Zhao Bailian. At this time, there are not many poems with the word "peach", and she can still find so many romantic sentences to flirt with handsome guys. Especially the last sentence, I almost didn't ask directly: "About?" ”

What a wonderful time.

The last order was issued by Zhao Bailian's mother, Mrs. Zhao, who came out with a decent "green" character.

This made Li Xiuyuan and Zhao Bailian only symbolically answer.

The last winner was a man who looked a little shy and bookish.

The Queen Mother asked as usual: "Whose family is this?" ”

It was Mrs. Tai of the Zhenguo Mansion who answered: "Qi Yu Niangniang, this is the hussar general, the youngest son of Zhang Feihu, the prince of Xihua County-Zhang Wuxi"

I'll go, this little weak person turned out to be a military general's family? And looking at his temperament, he is a bit similar to Mr. Tony.

Then, the Queen Mother gave an excellent award to the three outstanding performers - each of them had a set of four treasures of the imperial study.

At this point, the first link "Flying Flower Order" has officially ended. The players on the stage also returned to their respective positions.

Everyone drank small fruit wine, ate snacks, rested for a while, and the second link began.

"We've all appreciated the poems, so let's take a look at the work at hand." The Queen Mother said: "Everyone knows the layout on the stage now." This "three levels", I don't know which children want to try? ”

More than 20 people in the audience who were already eager to try, heard the words like dumplings, and turned over neatly on stage, and their postures were handsome.

Seventy percent of the men who came up in this game were masculine men, even the seven or eight women, all of whom were heroic and sassy, and they didn't let their eyebrows go.

The first level is called "Shooting Flowers". The so-called shooting flowers is to scatter flowers in the middle of the two at a distance of 30 steps between the person and the target. A chance to shoot an arrow, and finally the target has a flower to pass the level.

Half of the people have been brushed in this level.

The second level is called "Throwing a Thousand Dollars". The target of this level is fifty paces away, and a thousand coins are scattered in the middle of the two. Among them, copper and iron are mixed together. Ten breath time, regardless of the number of arrows, take the last target with the most money on the seven to pass the level.

At this time, Mingzhu found out that Li Xiuyuan had also participated. Yo, is it both civil and military? Another thing that attracted Mingzhu's attention was a very bright and moving woman in red.

Moreover, Li Xiuyuan often peeks at this woman, this is a story!! (^O^)y。 Mingzhu's gossip gene is clamoring.

The last level is called "Catching the Meteor". Everyone was 100 paces away, shooting ten arrows at the same target at the fastest speed. In the end, the one who can leave the most arrows on the target wins.

Seventy arrows compete for targets less than a foot in diameter, naturally interfering with each other. Unless you have absolute strength and accuracy in this level, you have to rely on scheming. The best way to do this is to throw an arrow that interferes with someone else's arrow.

Ten arrows, less than five breaths, all of them have been shot.

In the end, the winner was Li Xiuyuan, the woman in red, and a very wild beard, if he didn't know that the participants were all about twenty, they would have thought that he was at least forty.

The Queen Mother praised: "Not bad! Not to mention this Li Xiuyuan's outstanding appearance, he is also both civil and military. I just don't know, who are these two children? ”

Mrs. Tai got up and replied, "Qi Yu Niangniang, this little girl is Cheng Junzhu, the only daughter of the champion general, Cheng Hongyi. This young man in riding uniform is the general of the town army, the eldest son of Qin Xuyang, the prince of the founding county - Qin Huaijing. ”

"Hmm...... All good boys. Come on, reward. The Queen Mother presented the three of them with the winning prize - each of them had a treasure knife made inside.

When presenting the award, Li Xiuyuan looked up at Cheng Hongyi, but Cheng Hongyi and Qin Huaijing looked at each other and smiled.

Tsk tsk, there's going to be a story soon. At this time, Mingzhu has already made up the plot of the next fifty episodes.

Finally, the longest link began - the guests actively performed on stage.

It's important to know that not everyone is good at something that's good for competition. So this link is to give a stage for everyone to show themselves.

This session is the longest and most exciting, with teams and individuals. Singing, dancing, music, and martial arts are the most numerous. Mingzhu found it most interesting that there were several interesting young people performing burlesque on stage; the sword dance performed by Cheng Hongyi and Qin Huaijing; Li Xiuyuan and a few colleagues performed and painted on stage, and Zhao Bailian volunteered to play the piano with music; There are also a few hobby carpentry (Mo's?). Homemade wooden cows, wooden cows, etc. were exhibited......

In short, there is no such "action" as in the Qing court drama, and there are no "accidents".

Because they were all wonderful and did not praise the judgment, the Queen Mother awarded everyone a participation award - a jar of palace peach blossom brew.

Soon, it's noon, and after lunch, it's time for free time.

At this time, men and women who look at each other in the morning can have the opportunity to get to know each other a little.

Of course, this is the general situation.

Because, the Queen Mother, Mrs. Tai, Mingzhu and Wei Shu upgraded on a shady boulder.

At first, it was a few curious ladies who learned after watching it for a while. When I asked, Mingzhu actually brought in a lot of leaf cards?

So, an infectious two.

Soon, the Imperial Garden turned into a chess and card activity center!

When the scene was over, everyone remembered, yes, forgot about the matter.
