Chapter 105: Qunfang Competition
"Miss, are you really going?" A hint of worry flashed in Lu'er's eyes.
Lu Yue pinched Lu'er's face amusedly, "What?" Think your young lady can't do it? ”
"It's not~" Lu'er shook her head.
"Miss, the rules of this group of Fang Race will be very strict, there are four examiners, all of whom are the shopkeepers of the four most famous restaurants in Tianfu City, including the Xiangxiang Building, the Drunken Night Building, the Mingjin Building, and the Jade Building..."
"Hmm~" Lu Yue hummed softly and motioned for Lu'er to continue.
"There will be three competitions in this group of Fang competitions, after each competition, a second competition will be held every three days, and there are many kinds of talents in the competition, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, ritual music and archery, etc." Lu'er counted carefully for Lu Yue with her fingers.
Lu Yue lowered her eyes, she supported her chin with her palms, and wondered in her heart, what is she better than this?
She heard Lu'er say again: "If you pass the game successfully, they will give Miss a brand, at the beginning it is wooden, the first one is bronze, the second is silver, and the third is gold~"
“..... Such a tyrant, it's actually gold, can you sell it for money? Lu Yue looked at Lu'er with a curious expression.
“……”
"Okay, I understand Lu'er, you can rest assured." Lu Yue patted Lu'er's hand amusefully.
Lu Yue took two sips of a cup of tea and put it down, "That means that as long as I win the third game, I can get the Snow Lotus?" ”
Lu'er's expression was slightly stunned, and she nodded, as if Miss was not wrong to say this, she looked at Miss again, and saw a bright smile on the corner of Miss's mouth.
Lu'er always felt that in the past few days, Miss was a little mysterious, often hiding in the study and not coming out, going to Master Lu's house on time in the morning and evening to accompany the master for a while, and the rest of the time she nested in the study, and no one else was allowed to disturb her.
Lu'er knocked on Lu Yue's door with food, "Miss, it's time for dinner." ”
I didn't hear a sound for a long time, just when Lu'er thought it was another sentence to put outside.
Suddenly, I heard Lu Yue's voice, "Come in." ”
Lu'er happily pushed open the door with the food, and saw that Lu Yuezheng was holding a strange thing in her arms, why did she say strange? It's because Lu'er has never seen anything like this.
I saw Lu Yue's fingers moving slightly on it, and then she heard the sound of "dong dong", and when Lu'er looked closely, she realized that it was a piano, because there were several strings on it.
"Miss, what is this?" Lu'er looked at it curiously.
Lu Yue's eyes lit up, and she said proudly: "Guitar." ”
She held the guitar in her arms, which was a drawing she spent half a day drawing, and then the master craftsman made the body of the piano out of pear blossom wood, fortunately this is a master of the master, the body is polished beautifully, it is smooth to the touch, and there is no place to prick.
The master also carved pear blossoms on the headstock, which looks elegant and noble, and is really a good guitar.
And this string was made by Fu Bo found the best silk, and Lu Yue really loved this guitar at the first sight.
There is also a faint fragrance of pear blossom wood from time to time. "Miss, what's a guitar?" Lu'er is very puzzled, such a piano looks very strange~
Only then did Lu Yue react, there were not so many things in ancient times, and it was normal for Lu'er to be curious, so she said: "This is a piano, but its name is called guitar." ”
Lu Yue smiled as she spoke, she held the guitar in her arms and tried the sound, "Ding Dong~"
This voice sounds very crisp, not bad~ Lu Yue is very satisfied.
She held the guitar and sang while playing: "Twinkle and twinkle, shiny, the sky is full of little stars, hanging in the sky and shining brightly, like many small eyes~"
“……”
"Wow! Miss is so good. Lu'er cried out happily with her head in her hands.
Lu Yue looked at Lu'er's appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "Your young lady has something better, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Okay, okay~" Lu'er applauded happily.
Time flies, and the Qunfang Tournament is finally here.
Lu Yue was called by Lu'er early to clean up and groom up, get into the carriage, and the carriage ran quickly.
It didn't take long for Lu Yue to pick up the teacup when the carriage stopped, and she asked curiously, "Is it here?" ”
"Back to Miss, not yet~" The voice of the groom came from outside the curtain.
Since she didn't stop to do anything, Lu Yue was puzzled, opened the curtain, and the road ahead was blocked by sedan chairs and carriages, only to see that the streets were full of beautifully dressed women, and it was simply black.
Lu Yue's eyes were surprised, and she pointed to those people and asked Lu'er: "These people won't all go to participate in that group competition, right?"
Lu'er nodded honestly, "Yes, Miss is right. ”
"So many people? Race to the Year of the Monkey? Lu Yue couldn't help but sullen.
"Don't worry, Miss, not all of them are eligible for the competition, and everyone has to report their talents to the steward there, for example, if you want to compete in embroidery, you have to come up with an embroidery. Most of these people go to see the excitement with a playful mind, and the young lady doesn't have to care. ”
"I see~" Lu Yue nodded clearly.
Until their carriage stopped, Lu Yue got out of the carriage with the help of Lu'er, she looked up and found that there were two long queues.
Lu'er pointed to one of the teams and said, "Miss, look, those people are just going in to join in the fun~"
Lu Yue saw someone taking out the silver, and was immediately surprised: "Do you have to give money to enter?" ”
"Yes, Miss." Lu'er stretched out her hand and compared, "Get ten taels of silver~"
Lu Yue's eyes flashed with surprise, it was so expensive?
Look up again, huh? This place has a very familiar feeling, her eyes glanced around, and then she realized that this is not the Drunken Spring Building?
"Hold a group fang competition in the drunken night building??" Lu Yue's eyes flashed with an incredible light.
"Yes~" Lu'er nodded.
"Huh? Then why didn't you tell me? Lu Yue looked puzzled, she knew that it was a drunken nightbuilding, so she asked the playboy to see if she could buy one, and did she need to go to such trouble to participate in any competitions?
"The slave maid thinks the young lady knows~" Lu'er also looked aggrieved.
Lu Yue waved her hand when she heard this, that's it, that's it, since they're all here, what else can I do? I had to participate.
They were assigned a wooden sign, Lu Yue picked it up and looked at it a few times, only to realize that this was just what we call a number plate today, listening to the number call people to go in and show their talents.
Lu Yue waited for a while before she heard herself shouting from inside, and as soon as she entered, she followed the little maid into a small room on the left, where there was a table in the main hall, and on the main seat of the table sat a person who resembled a steward.
Lu Yue looked at Mian Sheng, thinking that she didn't know what to do in the building.
I saw that the man was touching his goatee, staring at Lu Yue, asking Lu Yue to report his name and the talent he displayed, etc.
She looked at the person next to her with a brush and wrote it down quickly, thinking that this drunken building is really a set of things.
After asking, the little steward asked Lu Yue to show off his talents.
Lu Yue hummed a few words softly, and the steward gave her another sign to let her out.
"How's Miss?" Lu'er greeted her with a concerned face.
Lu Yue patted Lu'er's hand soothingly, only to see that a high platform had been built on the first floor of this drunken building, and colorful lanterns were hung on those railings.
The pillars and roof hung down the red silk gauze tent, and the whole hall was filled with the fragrance of flowers, fruits and wine~
The whole hall looks lively and festive.
Lu Yue looked at the seats arranged on the three floors upstairs and downstairs, I am afraid that such a lively event will come to many nobles in the city.
Lu Yue and Lu'er were taken to the room behind the high platform, and as soon as they entered, they found that many girls were dressing up, Lu'er looked at the people crowding around, carefully pulled Lu Yue's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Miss, why don't we go to the manager and get a separate room for Miss?" ”
Lu Yue waved her hand, and if she came, she would be safe.
She also quickly found a place where no one was around, and sat down with Lu'er.
At this time, I suddenly heard a noise, and a graceful figure ushered in at the door, the woman was wearing a snow-white cloak, her face looked white and pure, two curved willow eyebrows, and her mouth was slightly pursed. Behind him, a little maid came in.
"It's really a big show~" The woman who spoke whispered next to Lu Yue.
Yeh~ It's an acquaintance, Lu Yue looked at the woman's face, isn't this the concubine of Lord Li? I heard that it's still a pretty pampered one.
The woman seemed to notice Lu Yue's gaze, glanced at it, and her eyes were stunned, it turned out to be Princess Qin? Why did Princess Qin come here?
"Wow~ It's actually Lin Wanyi, who has a talented reputation, and it is said that her double-sided embroidery is the best in the world~"
"yes, hey, with her, I don't think we have any hope." The two women whispered.
Lin Wanyi, Lu Yue silently read the name, and after a turn in her mind, she found that she had no impression of this name.
The woman probably sensed that someone was looking at her, and raised her eyes.
Those eyes that were about to cry were slightly soft in Lu Yue's heart when she saw them, and she was as soft as Sister Lin who fell from the world.
She saw Lu Yue staring at herself intently, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she turned her head away and ignored Lu Yue.
However, the daughter of Lord Li next to her leaned over to Lu Yue, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Princess Qin is fine~"
Lu Yue glanced around, and saw that all the people were looking at Lin Wanyi, but no one was looking this way, so she said, "No need to be polite~"
That Miss Li saw that Lu Yue's eyes had been looking at that Lin Wanyi, so she took the initiative to solve Lu Yue's confusion: "That Miss Lin, her father was originally a small official in Jianghuai, and last year because of his meritorious work in controlling the floods, he was recruited into the city, this Lin Wanyi wrote a poem at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year, which attracted everyone's applause, and she had the name of this "little talented girl". ”
Lu Yue nodded, I see.
"As for the double-sided embroidery because of His Majesty's birthday banquet, this Lin Wanyi's father sent a pair of double-sided embroidery of crane pine and cypress to the court, and the queen mother looked at it, saying that the Lin woman's dexterity is rare, and for this reason, she also entered the palace to accompany her." Miss Li smiled and whispered.
Only then did Lu Yue finally understand what was going on, it turned out to be like this.
She swept around, most of them were with maids, and if she could bring them here, she must also be from a wealthy family.
