Chapter 65: Shooting (1)

Wen Yaqin said angrily to Shangguan Lihua: "Grandmother said that judging from your recent behavior, you are very different from before, I didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is grandmother's discernment, and I know that you are not ashamed." After speaking, he thought about scratching Shangguan Lihua's itchy flesh, which is one of Shangguan Lihua's weaknesses, but this secret is really only known by a few people, even Shangguan Qihua in the previous life does not know, but it is obvious that this Wen Yaqin knows.

Shangguan Lihua hurriedly said goodbye, Shangguan Jiahua interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and the three of them walked in the direction of the Peony Pavilion with a smile.

--------------- --------------- cut -------------- is now ---------------

Everyone was about to arrive at the Peony Pavilion, only to know that the men in the Peony Pavilion had already gathered together to play games, and the women of each family hurriedly touched their faces, sorted out their clothes and jewelry, and there should be nothing wrong with their makeup, right? Shangguan Qihua saw from a distance the people who had made him think about tea and dinner for the past few days, and his grievances and unwillingness dissipated instantly, and he only felt that Shangguan Qihua's pace was a lot lighter all of a sudden.

And the person who made Shangguan Qihua not think about tea and dinner except for Xuanyuan Yuling did not think about him. Hong Siyan also secretly searched, but did not find the person she wanted to see, and she was inevitably a little lost in her heart. But then I thought that it would be good if he didn't show up, if he was here, with the importance he attached to Shangguan Lihua, maybe he would always be by Shangguan Lihua's side, then their plan might not be able to carry out.

Soon, they arrived at the Peony Pavilion with such a large group of people, and when they got closer, they found that the men were playing a game of shooting, and the identities of the participants in the game were different, but all of them were noble sons. Come to think of it, Princess An's birthday banquet will never be distributed to poor students at will.

The men all saw the women coming to this peony pavilion, and after hearing the official family of King An's mansion explain that it was Princess An who asked him to bring the ladies over to watch the peonies, their glasses lit up one by one. Among them, Xuanyuan Yuling and Xuanyuan Xu are particularly obvious. Who Xuanyuan Yuling wants to see, everyone doesn't know, but who Xuanyuan Xu wants to see, everyone knows in their hearts, after all, who in the entire Jinling City doesn't know that Xuanyuan Xu and Wen Yaqin have already been proposed by Princess Ning on the day of Wen Yaqin and Lu? At this time, I saw Xuanyuan Xu looking forward to it, and he knew it in his heart.

It is said that this peony pavilion is really a good place, not only can you take in all the colors of peonies in the garden, but also meet friends in the shade, it is really elegant, this King An is indeed an elegant person.

Well, when Prince Xuanyuan Yuling saw Shangguan Lihua appear, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, no, it should be said that all the men present flashed with a touch of surprise in their eyes, as if all the colors had lost their color in front of Shangguan Lihua. Of course, as the saying goes, 'in the eyes of a lover', in Xuanyuan Xu's eyes, the most beautiful is only Wen Yaqin. Prince Xuanyuan Yuling immediately got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Miss Lihua and Miss Wen and others can play this shooting?" The prince is playing this shooting game with the big guy, and Cousin Xu is slightly better. Miss Lihua and Miss Hong are excellent in learning, do you think they should have played? ”

Shooter, shooter, guess also; Cover the cover, cover and hide also. In the early days of the ancient shooting game, the main gameplay was to make riddles and use pots and bowls to hide and cover up an object in advance, so that people could guess. Both of these tricks are relatively straightforward. Later, on this basis, there was a kind of indirect and tortuous language and text form of the shooting game, the method is to use connected words and sentences to imply things, so that people can guess, if the shooter can not guess or guess wrong, and when the shooter misjudges the shooter's guess, he will be punished. For example, the ancient "Wine Order Cong Banknote Ancient Order" cloud: "However, the so-called shooting of the wine seat today, also known as the shooting of the eagle, is not like this." The above word is carved by the law, and the next word is covered, and the word "wine" is set to pay attention to the word "wine", then the word "spring" and the word "pulp" make people shoot it, cover the spring wine, wine pulp also, and the shooter says a certain word, and they will understand each other. "This basically explains how the game works. Some literati have slightly changed this rule, first using poems, idioms, and allusions to allude to a certain thing, and then using another poem, idiom, and allusion to allude to the thing.

This way of shooting and repeating the drinking order, both women and men can have fun, and they can also show their talents in the game without a trace, so the shooting and overturning drinking order is very popular in the Xuanyuan Dynasty. In addition to shooting the liquor order, it is worth mentioning the pitcher. Pitching pot is also one of the earlier popular drinking games in Jinling City, its gameplay is to set up a special pot on the banquet, with the mouth of the pot as the goal, the guest and the host each hold four arrows, and put them into the pot in turn, so that the winner is determined by how much he hits, and the loser drinks the penalty wine. In addition, there are also thumb battles, drumming and passing flowers, dice orders, and so on.

On weekdays, these sons and ladies of the family have nothing to do and can always find some fun to play. At this time, Prince Xuanyuan Yuling asked, Shangguan Lihua couldn't say that he wouldn't, so he nodded lightly to indicate that he had played occasionally. Hong Siyan and Shangguan Qihua also nodded and said that they had also played.

"Since all the ladies have played, how about we divide into several tables and have fun? Women are not better than men such as us, and most of them are not strong enough to drink, so why not switch to Qionghua brewing, which is more suitable for women to drink? Prince Xuanyuan Yuling pretended to be considerate and said.

Shangguan Qihua took the lead in replying: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge, and if you want to come to Sister Li, Sister Hong, they will not have an opinion." ”

Do they have any opinions, and after you say this, who can really say that they have an opinion? Besides, haven't you ever learned the word reserved? I didn't see that the other ladies of the family were all ready to move, but none of them spoke up first? You spoke first, and if you lose face and lose the battle for a while, you may regret it. It's just that, where would Shangguan Qihua think of these at this time, if she could think of this, she wouldn't speak first, what she thinks about now is that she only has to win Shangguan Lihua in the shooting game for a while, and get drunk, so that their calculations can succeed... Of course, she obviously knew the purpose of Prince Xuanyuan Yuling's proposal for women to participate in the shooting and drinking order. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still wanted to see Shangguan Lihua ruined and reduced to the tragic situation of being someone else's concubine, so he had to cooperate with this plan.

Xuanyuan Yuling quickly let people change the wine and add a few tables for everyone to have fun. After Xuanyuan Xu came to this Peony Pavilion from Wen Yaqin, his eyes never left her, although the two had already been married, but they were not married, and Wu'an Bohou Mansion was a century-old scholarly family, focusing on etiquette, this Wen Yaqin rarely met with Xuanyuan Xu in the past day. But after the marriage, they had to meet several times, and the two of them were satisfied with each other's temperament and knowledge, and they also had a good impression of each other. Therefore, Xuanyuan Xu couldn't wait to pull Wen Yaqin alone at this time to hide elsewhere and complain to each other, and after hearing Prince Xuanyuan Yuling's proposal, he could only give up.
