After Ruan Yezhen left, Chen Qingdao said: "The relationship between Yanzhi and Mrs. Ling is really good. ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "If Ziyu is envious, he can marry a wife." ”

Chen Qing shook his head lightly and said, "I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals." In the past, there was a father and a mother, and then he and Mrs. Ling, Chen Qing only wanted to marry the woman he liked. ”

Xie Jinlan patted him lightly on the shoulder and was silent. Later, after receiving the registration at the embroidery needle collection office, I stood by the pond.

As soon as Xie Jinlan appeared, everyone's eyes fell on him. Those who were going to throw the needles stopped moving.

Xie Jinlan's pitching skills are even better than Ruan Haoxuan's, I don't know how many points he can get?

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen, who was sitting beside Emperor Qinghe in the pavilion, and when he looked at her, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

After retracting his gaze, his face narrowed slightly, and he stared intently at the teapot floating in the pond with the waves.

But seeing his eyes condensed, he threw out the first embroidery needle with a 'whoosh', only to hear a 'ding' sound, and the embroidery needle hit the body of the pot, and then fell into the pond, splashing a small splash.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking: Xie Jinlan is nothing more than that.

It's just that before they could restrain the disappointment in their eyes, they saw Xie Jinlan throw out the second embroidery needle. I don't know if it's a coincidence or Xie Jinlan really mastered the skills, and the embroidery needle fell into the spout steadily.

Followed by the third and fourth roots......

Until the eighth, all but the first embroidery needle fell into the spout.

Just as Xie Jinlan threw the embroidery needle again, there was a low cry from the crowd.

It's just because they saw that Xie Jinlan threw the only two embroidery needles in his hand together this time!

Everyone subconsciously looked away with bated breath.

I saw that the two embroidery needles seemed to be glued together, until they fell into the spout, and they were not separated in the slightest.

"Good!"

Emperor Qinghe immediately applauded.

When everyone saw this, they all applauded. I don't know if it's true or not.

Ninth!

Although except for the achievements of Ruan Haoxuan, Xia Yueyan, and Jian Ge, everyone's results have not been calculated. Everyone knows in their hearts that until this moment, this is the best result!

Not to mention the first place in the men's group, even the leader, nine times out of ten, is also in Xie Jinlan's bag.

The man who had not yet thrown sighed in his heart, suddenly felt that he had no chance of winning, and threw the embroidery needle in his hand rather absentmindedly.

Just when there were only one man and two women left on the field, a slender and gentle handsome boy walked to Xie Jinlan's side.

But seeing him arch his hand towards Xie Jinlan and say, "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for more than a year, don't come here unharmed?" ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at the fish-shaped pattern on his sleeve, and said meaningfully: "Am I okay, Brother Xiang doesn't know?" ”

This person's name is Xiang Xinyuan, and he is the son-in-law of Xiang Yanxiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the younger brother of Xiang Xinyun's mother.

Unlike his sister's arrogance, Xiang Xinyuan is humble and polite. And he is very talented and highly respected by the scholars in Beijing.

Xiang Xinyuan smiled slightly and said, "What does Brother Xie mean by this?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled back: "Why does Brother Xiang ask knowingly? ”

Immediately, he stepped forward, approached Xiang Xinyuan's ear, and whispered: "Xiang Xinyuan, in front of me, you better put away your hypocritical face." I'm disgusted. ”

When the words fell, he retreated to his place and said, "I will take the first step, and I will not accompany you." ”

Then he passed by Xiang Xinyuan and walked in the direction of Chen Qing.

When he passed by, he didn't know whether Xie Jinlan was intentional or unintentional, but he hit Xiang Xinyuan's shoulder heavily.

Xiang Xinyuan still had that gentle smile on his face, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

Slowing down his thoughts, Xiang Xinyuan also went to get ten embroidery needles to participate in the pot throwing competition.

Xiang Xinyuan is a scholar, and in the past pot throwing competition, his results were only at a medium level, so everyone was not optimistic about him.

It was only when the first embroidery needle he threw fell into the spout accurately, and there was a sudden silence around. Immediately after, the people who came back to their senses suddenly whispered in surprise.

As he was about to throw the second needle, the conversation around him suddenly stopped.

In the limelight, Xiang Xinyuan's second embroidery needle fell steadily into the spout.

Xie Jinlan's gaze also fell on Xiang Xinyuan's body, his head was slightly close to Chen Qing, and he said in a low voice: "Ziyu thinks that Xiang Xinyuan is a scholar like you, why can he put the embroidery needle into the spout from the beginning?" ”

Chen Qing's eyebrows twisted slightly, stared straight at Xiang Xinyuan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe he is quite talented in this matter." ”

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "Ziyu, I'm afraid you don't know when you first came to the capital, in the past pot throwing competition, his level was not better, and he never entered the top three." ”

Chen Qingdao: "Maybe he deliberately hid it in the past. ”

Xie Jinlan asked again: "That Ziyu thinks, why didn't he hide it today?" But in order to get the blue eyes of the saint? Or is it for the sake of the holy promise? ”

Chen Qing shook his head and said:

"I have heard of this person from Hongru's mouth, and the Yun Concubine Niangniang who came today is Xiang Xinyun, the sister of Xiang Xinyuan's mother. It can be seen from the fact that the saint brought her to attend today, and she is quite favored now.

There is such a favored sister in the palace, if Xiang Xinyuan wants to get the blue eyes of the saint, he can let his sister say a few kind words, why bother so much? ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

At this time, Chen Hongru, who appeared out of nowhere, appeared behind the two, suddenly patted Chen Qing's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Cousin, what are you whispering here?" ”

Chen Qing was suddenly frightened, stroked his palm, and frowned: "Hongru, why are you here?" Why not by my father's side? ”

Chen Hongru pursed his lips and said, "Cousin, you are too much, you ran here to catch up with the old people, leaving me alone to face the uncle with a solemn expression." ”

A little helplessness flashed in Chen Qing's eyes, and he said to Xie Jinlan: "Let Yan Zhijian smile." ”

Chen Hongru's eyes rolled and said, "Cousin, don't introduce me." ”

Chen Qingwei bowed his head and said:

"You two have already met and know each other's identities, so I won't say more. Xie Jinlan, who used to be the county magistrate of Lin'an County, now serves as the prefect of Lingzhou. Chen Hongru, my cousin, is the son of my second uncle. ”

Xie Jinlan and Chen Hongru greeted each other.

Chen Hongru smiled: "You and your cousin are old friends, can I call you to thank Big Brother?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled spontaneously.

"Oh!"

At this moment, there was an exclamation not far away, and the three of them followed the voice, and saw that everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

The three of them followed everyone's line of sight and looked towards the pond, and saw that Xiang Xinyuan was retracting his right hand thrown forward at this moment.
