Chapter 104: The Winding Water Meeting
When Sima Wansheng heard this, he roared softly: "Fourth sister, don't say it." She forcibly pulled Sima Daiyu to the ground and knelt down, and reprimanded in a low voice.
The saint sat down, shouted to avoid the crowd from kneeling, and everyone thanked and returned to their seats.
The saint commanded the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch took a few steps forward and shouted loudly to the venue: "The saint said, today, is the auspicious day of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Dayan Dynasty. The prosperity of the country is inseparable from the pillars of the country, so the widow specially uses three thousand gold medals as a color to reward people with outstanding talents. I hope that everyone will go all out to cheer for the birthday of the country. ”
After the words fell, everyone got up and left their seats again, bowed their heads and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, long live!" Dayan has been prosperous for thousands of years! ”
Shengshang raised his arms and said with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing is flat, and today he will be happy with the people, and Zhong Aiqing does not need to be formal." After that, he whispered to the eunuch beside him: "Qin Huai, the auspicious time has arrived, order." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuch Qin Huai responded, bowed down and withdrew from the awning, took the order from the guards outside the awning, waved it at the drummer, and shouted: "Beat the drum, the grand meeting has officially begun!" ”
As the words fell, several strong, bare-chested drummers swung their drumsticks and smashed them into the leather drums.
In an instant, the drums sounded deafeningly, soaring into the sky.
After three drums, Qin Huai waved the flag in the direction of the trumpeter, and the trumpeter gave the order, puffing out his cheeks and blowing the horns in his hand.
The event officially kicked off, it turned out that today was the 100th auspicious day of the founding of the Dayan Dynasty, no wonder a spring party was so grand.
There was singing and dancing at the beginning, and after the singing and dancing, the competition officially began.
Qin Huai recited the holy will again, and everyone learned that the color head was a "thousand gold medals", and they couldn't bear it anymore, and the audience was boiling.
They all looked at each other and exchanged glances, and it was obvious that everyone didn't know that there was such a precious color before this.
Sima Guansheng secretly sighed in his heart: Everyone is in the dark, but my mother is a miracle, and she can know about this great thing in advance!
With such a colorful head, everyone is eager to try, and the scene is becoming more and more active.
The Dayan Dynasty was a dynasty that respected martial arts, among which mounted archery was the first. Therefore, the opening plug is a mounted archery competition.
The competition on the field was fierce, and all the young masters and sons went all out. After all, it is not common to be able to show your face in front of the saint, and if you can win the championship in this competition, you can be appreciated by the saint, win glory for the family, and have a bright future.
The format of the game is one-on-one elimination, and the winner continues to play against the next player, as if in a ring match, and the winner is crowned.
If there are three champions in the competition, one thousand gold medals will be awarded.
Sima Daiyu has been in a state of excitement, staring intently at the venue, and constantly clapping her hands.
Sima Daiyuan's interest was not very high, if it weren't for her anger, she wouldn't want to come to this kind of occasion. For her active nature, it is extremely boring to remain reserved and watch others have fun.
She devoured the pastries on the table, muttering.
Zhong Xiaoniang saw that she was so worried about eating, and muttered and reprimanded in a low voice.
Su Xiaoniang has been grounded for several months, without her biological mother by her side, and Sima Dai has suffered a lot of cold words in the past few months, which is simply Sima Wansheng before the second. Because of this, the edges and corners of her body have been smoothed out and she has become less talkative, but her ability to eat has not changed at all.
She came here for nothing else, and of course nothing else seemed to have anything to do with her. Just for one word - eat, eat with an open belly. She kept her head covered and eaten, and she kept her ears on it.
Sima Guansheng looked at the arena absentmindedly, she was thinking about whether she should come back from the next game, win a thousand gold medals, and ask the saint to marry her and Liu Liyue.
She was struggling with whether she, after all, was a woman, and if she proposed to the saint like this, she would become the laughing stock of the whole heaven and shame the entire Sima family.
Just as she was thinking about it, Zhong Xiaoniang interrupted her thoughts with something to say.
"Guan Sheng, I have something to ask for, and I hope Guan Sheng will agree." Zhong Xiaoniang was full of smiles.
If you want to ask for others, you have to lower your figure, no longer be so domineering, and speak ill of each other.
Sima Wansheng smiled reluctantly and replied lightly: "Aunt Zhong said bluntly, the word 'ask' is too obvious. ”
"I thought, if our Sima Mansion can win back a thousand gold medals, it will be a matter of glory to the ancestors. However, the yin and yang in our house are declining, and this martial arts is not touchable. But in this article, we are no worse than others. You are good at calligraphy and painting, you are good at piano and chess, you two sisters, why don't you try it together? ”
When Sima Wansheng heard this, he sneered in his heart.
Aunt Zhong! Aunt Zhong! I'm afraid you want to use this thousand gold medals to choose a golden beetle son-in-law for your big sister again, right? If it had been before, I would have really done my best to live up to my sisterhood. But now, I'm just for myself.
How could I once again help the abuse, so that the enemy is satisfied?
"Of course you can, but if you win back these thousand gold medals, may I ask the Holy Lord for a favor?"
When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, her smile stopped abruptly, and she said coldly: "How can you enjoy the glory of this Sima family alone?" ”
"I am also a member of the Sima family, even if I use it, this glory is still from the Sima Mansion, and I will not change my surname?"
"How can it be the same, this is a holy grace, and it is hard to find. It should be collected as a treasure, so that the Sima family will be proud of it for generations. How can it be abused until it is absolutely necessary. Even if you want to use it, you have to decide if your father is the head of the Sima family, right? ”
"One yard to one yard, these thousands of pairs of eyes are watching, and His Majesty also said that whoever wins a thousand gold medals can make a wish. If you let your father decide, isn't it a deception? Furthermore, let the father climb the daughter and spread it, how can there be light on the father's face? ”
Zhong Xiaoniang was speechless, so she could only stop talking, pretending to drink tea, and moved her eyes to the riding and archery arena, and the matter was over.
When did this girl learn to be so sharp?
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
Riding a tall horse in the field, wearing a water-blue brocade robe, holding a curved bow, and the person who pulled the bow and shot arrows was Chu Nanxuan of the General's Mansion.
She was so shocked that she almost choked on the tea, and in a panic, she spilled the tea.
She wiped it with a brocade handkerchief at will, turned around, and knocked off the pastry in Sima Daiyuan's hand with one palm.
Sima Guansheng and Sima Dai stared at her in confusion when they saw her abnormal behavior.
Sima Daiyuan was very angry and shouted, "Auntie, what are you doing? ”
She nervously grabbed Sima Dai's hand and said in a low voice: "Yuan'er, don't eat, let you come here, it's not to eat and drink." ”
"If you don't let me eat or drink, then why do you have to pull me to do it? They all said that I don't like this kind of formal occasion, and I might as well go home and sleep, I'm going crazy. ”
"Look at you like this, how do you look like a lady? What are you doing so loudly? Are you afraid that others won't hear you? Zhong Xiaoniang looked at the other three girls embarrassedly, with a feeling of hating iron but not steel, paused, she put her mouth to Sima Daiyuan's ear, and whispered: "Look at the person on the field, but Chu Nanxuan?" ”
When Sima Daiyuan heard this, she moved her gaze to the riding shooting range, and Chu Nanxuan's heroic figure came into her eyes.
A touch of disdain flashed on her curious face, and she said coldly: "I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I can meet it here." Isn't it so unruly? Will you bend your waist for this thousand gold medals? Pseudo-Qing Gao! ”
Zhong Xiaoniang said angrily: "Sister, be cautious." ”
After that, she leaned into Sima Dai's ear and whispered, her voice was faint.
Sima Daiyuan's face was like a chameleon, her eyebrows frowned slightly for a while, her eyes were wide open angrily, and she was surprised and stunned for a while.
Her mother and daughter whispered, and even if the other three sisters were curious, they couldn't get involved, so they could only be busy with their own and ignore it.
Suddenly, Sima Daiyuan shouted loudly: "Impossible, let me throw my arms and ...... to that cold-faced evil star."
The three sisters were attracted by her roar again, and they all cast puzzled glances at the mother and daughter.
Zhong Xiaoniang smiled embarrassedly, hurriedly covered Sima Daiyuan's mouth, and forcibly dragged her to the grass behind the awning, leaving the three sisters looking at each other.
The young Sima Daiyu saw the figure of Zhong Xiaoniang's mother and daughter walking away, turned around and asked curiously: "Second sister, what are you doing with the eldest sister and Aunt Zhong?" God mysterious. ”
"You just have to play well, watch. You don't need to worry about other things. ”
"Hmmm! What the second sister said is extremely true. Sima Daiyu nodded thoughtfully, moved her gaze back to the riding range, and said in a worshipful tone: "Second sister, look, this person is so powerful." A hundred steps through the poplar, the arrow is not missing. ”
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he smiled and cast his gaze on Chu Nanxuan.
Indeed, there are no missing arrows, and each arrow is full of strength, like a blade that breaks through the bamboo, straight through the bull's-eye. It can be seen that her riding and archery skills are very unusual, and she can't help but nod her head and praise.
It's just that why this back is so familiar, there is a sense of déjà vu.
After a period of competition, Chu Nanxuan defeated all the challengers who stepped forward, and no one stepped forward to challenge in the middle of the ring.
With a curved bow in one hand and a reins in the other, he sat on horseback with his head held high, fearlessly waiting for the next challenger.
The judge sounded the gong and shouted: "One warning sounds, after three sounds, if no one comes forward to compete again, this crown of riding and archery will be decided." ”
Under the sound of the second whistle, no one stepped forward.
Chu Nan Xuanwen was both civil and martial, and followed his father's courage and good fighting.
The saint cherishes talents, and the saint is the same age as Chu Nanxuan, so the saint is familiar at first sight. From the bottom of my heart, I feel that Chu Nanxuan is what he wants to live, youthful and energetic, and he can do what he wants without scruples.
He couldn't help but praise: "General Chu has a good way to teach his son, and it is my great luck to have such a pillar of talent as a little general." ”
To be praised by today's saints is to envy others.
Chu Nanxuan was rebellious, and he still didn't dare to be rude in front of today's saints.
He jumped off the horse, as a thank you for the praise of the saint, "Thank Your Majesty for your false praise, and the minister will do his best to serve Dayan and make a modest contribution to Dayan's long-term peace and stability." ”
When he said this, Sima Guansheng was even more stunned.
It's not just the figure, why is the voice so familiar? Who is he? Where exactly have we met?
Filled with doubts, she tried to search her mind for memories, but she couldn't remember.
