There was a commotion, and I saw Sima Nan walking in from the back hall with his grandchildren. The banquet hall fell silent suddenly.

Nangong Nianxi stood up and glanced at the entire banquet hall, except for the Eighth and Tenth Princes she knew, who did not come, the rest of the people she knew were present. It seems that Haoyue still has special respect for this old general.

Another reason is that Sima Nan's grandson holds military power, Sima Qingqing and Sima Zhongming have reached the age of marriage, and the General's Mansion is a big force.

But the emperor will not let such a force fall into any party, after the New Year, it is the time for the triennial draft girl to enter the palace, Sima Qingqing did not reach the age of selection in the last session, so this session must be participated.

Whether you like her or not, the emperor will pocket the power of the General's Mansion. So her fate was predicted by everyone a long time ago. No wonder Sima Qingqing is one year older than him and has not yet decided on a marriage, it turns out that he has such a relationship with the royal family.

The grandson is different, he can marry the right woman, and he can continue Sima's incense when he gets married and has children.

So Sima Nan's whole mind was on Sima Qingqing. Even after a hundred years, he has to help his granddaughter find some bosom friends in advance. Don't leave your granddaughter alone.

It turns out that the iron-clad veteran General Sima is not only brave and strategic, brave and good at fighting, but also a delicate and kind grandfather. Nangong Nianxi admired this Haoyue hero in his heart, and also sighed for Sima Qingqing, and his future life will be spent in the palace of deceit.

The banquet officially began, and it was nothing more than some singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! Nangong Nianxi began to enjoy the food at this time.

The world knows that the princess's piano skills are incomparable, and at the beginning Ming Ziling played a song "Plum Blossom Introduction" for everyone, which has the meaning of matching with the banquet, and the piano song shows the white plum blossoms, and the noble quality of Aoxue Lingshuang.

Through this music, the tenacious spirit of plum blossoms fighting the wind and snow is expressed, and the noble sentiment is praised. Nangong Nianxi said: "Qin is a good piano, the song is a good song, and the playing is also at a supernatural level." It's the quality of people! There is a little bit lacking. ”

Ming Ziling returned to her seat in the warm applause of everyone, looking particularly arrogant. Next, there were various ladies who showed their talents.

The hall was full of singing and laughter, but there were always some people with bad minds who liked to stir up trouble.

I saw the first woman in a crimson shirt cough lightly: "Uncle Sima, today is a private banquet, let me introduce myself first, my father is Zhang Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." The little girl's name is Zhang Xiaowan. ”

Sima Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It turned out to be Miss Zhang, I don't know what talent you brought to everyone?" ”

Zhang Xiaowan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Sima! The little girl heard that we Haoyue recently had a talented woman, and today I want to take advantage of Uncle Sima's banquet to have a discussion with her and cheer up the banquet, I wonder if Uncle Sima can agree? ”

Sima Nan said with interest: "Okay! I wonder if the woman you're talking about is not there, and you have to get her consent? ”

"She's there! I believe that in order to cheer up Uncle Sima, and General Sima Xiao has also returned to the capital, I don't think she will spoil this atmosphere today. ”

Sima Qingqing frowned, and after hearing this, she said in her heart: "This woman is too arrogant, she has no fear, should she be in her own home?" The appearance of flying and domineering is annoying. ”

Nangong Nianxi watched Miss Zhang's afterglow constantly cast on herself, and she had a bad premonition, the person she was talking about must be herself. And she said that if she didn't accept the competition, she would ruin the atmosphere of the banquet, so if she was the person she said she was, wouldn't she be a sinner who destroyed the banquet? Does she have a grudge against herself? I don't seem to have much to do with her in my memory.

Sima Qingqing was a little angry, this woman was not here to enjoy the flowers, but to show off her talents, her eyes looked at her brother from time to time, with a shy face.

It turns out that this is the case, the relationship is that he has taken a fancy to his brother, and he uses the way to attract attention and make a blockbuster? So who will she choose for that unlucky person? Seeing her eyes roll wildly, most of the time she stayed on Nianxi, she guessed that she must have chosen Nianxi's sister.

"Humph! Now she miscalculated, as far as she knows, this sister seems to have changed after Duan Wangye's divorce, as if she has changed into a person, and she is talented. It's not fun to look for yourself, and when you cry, there will be a time for you to cry. ”

Nangong Nianxi also saw her intentions, she was really troublesome, and she couldn't hide if she wanted to.

Helplessly stroking her forehead, Zhang Xiaowan stole at Nangong Nianxi and said, "Are you afraid?" Are you afraid that I will choose you? It's really self-aware. It is said that you can suddenly play, sing, and compose poems, if I defeat you, will I be able to say a few words to Sima Zhongming, and maybe get his favor? ”

Nangong Nianxi didn't know what she was thinking at this time, if she knew, she would teach that Wang Tianfu a lesson by herself, and it is estimated that she would not meet Sima Zhongming, and there would be no current matter.

Sima Nan suddenly spoke: "Who is the person that Miss Zhang is talking about?" ”

Zhang Xiaowan's eyes swept over the woman's side, and finally her gaze stayed on Nangong Nianxi.

"Miss Nangong! I heard that you not only shined in the palace, but also helped your maid rescue your brother, which is really admirable! I wonder if Xiaowan and Miss Nangong would have a good discussion? ”

"It's too polite, don't dare to discuss, then ask Miss Zhang for some advice." Nangong Nian saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to accept the challenge.

Zhang Xiaowan smiled proudly: "Just accept it, it will make you lose face and make you the laughing stock of the capital again." ”

Sima Qingqing opened his mouth and said: "Since you are studying in my general's mansion, then let me be a referee, I don't know if the two agree?" ”

Good! (Good) The two said in unison, and Sima Qingqing said again: "Since it was Miss Zhang's proposal, I don't know what it is?" ”

Zhang Xiaowan said confidently: "Miss Nangong, are we going to win two games in three games or win or lose in one game?" ”

"Let's do it quickly! A game is won or lost, and I will continue to taste the food after the end? Nangong Nianxi stood up lazily.

Zhang Xiaowan was very happy to see it, the time for her to show her talent had come, and after defeating her, she would be able to raise her eyebrows and be famous in the capital, although it was not as good as Liu Qianqian and the princess, but it was also a little famous in the capital! It's nice to think about it.

So he said: "Since you are sparring, you must have a colorful head?" ”

Sima Qingqing heard this, he was really uneasy, he was so long-winded. So he said, "What color?" Today is a banquet in my General's Mansion, it's okay to joke, but you can't hurt the peace. ”

Zhang Xiaowan hurriedly said: "Miss Sima! I'm thinking about it, and I'm just talking about it, this is the color head...... That is, the loser wants to invite the winner to go to the drunken immortal building for dinner. And everyone here can go, how about the loser paying? ”

The hall was full of young people, and everyone liked to be lively and agreed.

Sima Qingqing looked at Nangong Nianxi and asked for her opinion, and Nangong Nianxi nodded in agreement.

Sima Qingqing said again: "Now let's talk about the topic, what kind of talent is it better than?" ”

Zhang Xiaowan spoke first: "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting!" The piano - the princess played it, and I believe that no one can compare with it. ”

Ming Ziling was proud, this Miss Zhang looked quite pleasing to the eye, and she didn't forget to pat herself at this time.

"Chess - it's a bit boring at this banquet. Let's compare it to painting! After Zhang Xiaowan finished speaking, she looked at Nangong Nianxi.

Nangong Nian's face did not change, and after listening, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's start!" ”

There were tools for painting in the hall, and I saw Zhang Xiaowan, who was full of confidence, picked up the paintbrush with both hands, came to the drawing board, and drew seriously. Suddenly, the hall was boiling, is this a two-hearted hand painting at the same time? It's a long practice before you can draw it well.

This Miss Zhang family actually has this unique skill, and the praise continues. Zhang Xiaowan was even more proud when she heard it, looking at how she Nangong Nianxi won me! ”
