Chapter 292: Mind Reading
"Wait." The county lord of Whelan pouted and said, "Do you agree?" We have to ask if we agree or not. ”
The county lord of Hui'an played with an arrow used to throw a pot in his hand, and smiled casually: "Let's listen, if it's really new and interesting, and everyone hasn't played it before, then try it." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes in the room were projected on her, Sanniang smiled faintly: "I can't think of any new games in a hurry." ”
When the county lord of Whelan heard this, he first showed a disdainful gaze.
Sanniang turned a blind eye and still smiled: "But since it is a two-way competition, it must be interesting, there are many ways, and it is just a matter of winning or losing." ”
Sanniang looked at the county lord of Shanghui'an with interest: "Just now you won two games in a row against us, and according to the rules, it seems that you have to win three games in a row to win, so even if I win the next game, I still can't change the situation." I know that the county lord and I, like my aunt, are both cheerful people, and it is not a way to stalemate like this, so it is better to decide the winner in one game, right? ”
"It's as if you're going to win the next game...... "Lord Hui'an raised his eyebrows, "However, I'm really impatient to entangle with you over and over again, how to decide the winner of the game, you can tell you about it." We've won two games. ”
"That's natural, so many people are watching, we can't even deny it if we want to." Sanniang smiled gently, "That's good, there are four people on your side, I guess what you think in your hearts." If I guess more than three, we win, but if I guess more than two, then we lose, and the game is over, and we promise you any of these conditions. ”
Sanniang's words were in an uproar. These are usually gentle or gentle. or the reserved daughters couldn't help but whisper.
Wang Zheng also glanced at Sanniang in surprise, but seeing her confidence slowly, she also held back without an exit, and immediately resumed her leisurely smile.
The county lord of Whelan couldn't help but laugh: "Guess what we have in mind? Are you the reincarnation of an immortal? But I think it's a good idea, so I'll bet on it. She smiled a little maliciously.
Sanniang showed some helplessness on her face. Half-truths and half-truths laughed: "This is also a matter of no way, who let our side lose too badly?" It's just that I suddenly remembered that our daily devotion to the Buddha can be regarded as pious. Maybe God really can't bear to let us lose too badly and help each other? ”
As soon as this remark came out, it sparked a room full of laughter.
The county lord of Huilan leaned back with a smile: "I see, then let's see if your Buddha will protect you this time." If only you can win this time. From then on, the lord of this county will fast. Meat is not touched. ”
Sanniang looked at Huilan with a smile and said seriously: "Is what the county lord said seriously?" ”
Hui Lan sneered indifferently: "The lord of this county has always been true to his word, as long as you win, I will eat a lifetime of fasting, and everyone present can testify." ”
"Why three out of four? Instead of guessing it all? Hui An thought for a moment and asked with an eyebrow.
Sanniang smiled bitterly: "There will be mistakes in everything, and I am not an immortal after all." Four talents are not bad for three. ”
When they heard this, they all nodded.
Guess what people think. If you can really guess three out of four, it's already amazing. Seeing that everyone agreed, the lord of Hui'an County did not object.
Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, a voice said abruptly: "The Buddha is very effective. Maybe Miss Wang San can really win. ”
Sanniang turned her eyes and saw that it was a woman who was about the same age as herself. The clothes are very gorgeous, and the face is delicate, but the complexion is a little dark.
Sanniang didn't remember that she had seen this young lady on other occasions, and she had been standing aside from the beginning, a little reserved, without talking to anyone or speaking.
When she made a sound, she was surprised not only by Sanniang, so the scene was quiet for a moment.
The woman thought she had said something inappropriate, and even though she was a little red-faced, she didn't know what to do.
"This is Shen Fengjiao, the young lady of the Shen family, the niece of Shen Gelao, you may not recognize it not long after entering Beijing." Wang Zheng whispered to Sanniang.
The young lady of the Shen family? Entering Beijing at this time? Sanniang secretly attached, but nodded and smiled at Shen Fengjiao on her face.
Seeing that someone was willing to take care of herself, Shen Fengjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although she is the niece of Shen Ge Lao and the cousin of the current queen, she followed her aunt to several banquets after coming to Beijing, and was secretly laughed at, thinking that she was rustic and unwilling to be with her.
She just managed to muster up the courage to speak, wanting to talk to these young ladies, but when she finished speaking, she was worried that there was something wrong with her words, and she was self-defeating, and she regretted it a little.
"Okay, since everyone is interested, let's stop talking nonsense, let's start, how do you say to play?" Hui An raised her chin towards Sanniang.
"Pick four of you." Sanniang said briskly.
Hui An looked around him: "Hui Lan and I are naturally going to participate, Shuhui, you can come too, the last one ...... Just Wang Qiong. Hui An pointed to Hui Lan and a woman who had been standing with them, and finally pointed to Erniang and said to Sanniang defiantly.
What does this do? Stirring up "sisterhood"? Or is it a joke? Sanniang was a little ridiculous.
"The county lord can let my second sister join you, it is the county lord's generosity. But I'm afraid that when the time comes, people will feel that they won't be able to win, and we still won't take advantage of this, how about the county lord choose another person? ”
Hui An seemed to be smiling, and he didn't insist, and pointed to Shen Fengjiao, who had just spoken: "That's her." ”
Shen Fengjiao was stunned for a moment, but then she was excited and hurriedly stood up.
"Eh, are you sure? Would you like to help? Wang Zheng gently turned Sanniang with his elbow and asked in a low voice.
Sanniang nodded: "Auntie help me find a small box with a lid, as well as paper and pen." ”
Wang Zheng saw that he was sent to do such a trivial matter, shook his head and smiled, but he didn't say anything and went to the maid of the Sun Mansion to ask for something.
"What, who's coming first?" Sanniang looked at the four of Hui'an, and smiled with a smile.
"I'll come." The county lord of Huilan stood up with a sneer, "How can you guess, you say, is it whatever I think?" ”
Sanniang frowned and thought for a moment: "If you think about anything, the scope is inevitably too big, so it's better to give a restraint." Well, there are so many utensils in this room, how about you think the same? ”
Everyone looked around the flower hall, and sure enough, they saw tables and chairs, and countless furnishings, and felt that this was not too much of a advantage for Sanniang, so they all looked at Huilan.
Whelan pretended to be generous and nodded, "Okay." ”
The Sun family in the hall to serve the guests are also clever, as early as listening to the rules that Sanniang began to say, there was a steward quietly instructed the maid to find the things to be used, therefore, at this time Wang Zheng has taken a carved lacquer flower and bird pattern with a lid round box back. The maid behind her held a tray with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Sanniang looked around the room and saw a picture of Guanyin hanging on the north wall of the flower hall, so she happily pointed to the case against the north wall: "Put it in front of the Guanyin statue, so it will be a few points more accurate." ”
When everyone saw that she was determined, their faces were even more curious.
Wang Zheng asked people to put everything on the table against the north wall.
"Alright, Lord Whelan, now you close your eyes and start thinking about the name of any item in this room. But it's best to recite it three times in your mind so that I can see it more clearly. Sanniang nodded towards Whelan.
Seeing that she was doing something serious, Huilan glanced at the solemn statue of Guanyin again, and couldn't help but pay attention to it.
She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again.
"I've figured it out, guess what."
Sanniang walked to Huilan's side, stared at her eyes for a long time, and then walked to the front of the desk, wrote a few words with her back to everyone, and then folded the note she had written in front of everyone and put it in the box.
Walking back in front of everyone, Sanniang smiled and said to Huilan: "Okay, I have already written the answer, and the county lord can tell everyone what you just thought in your heart." Let everyone be a witness, lest I be cheating later. ”
Whelan smugly pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "I was thinking about the peach blossoms on that pair of pastel vases. ”
As he spoke, he carefully observed Sanniang's expression, wanting to see something from her face. Sanniang only nodded and smiled, without any expression.
"Alright, let's go next."
Hui An had been paying attention to Sanniang's movements just now, and he didn't see anything wrong, so he said to the person named Shuhui next to him: "You go." ”
Shuhui had just known the rules of the game, nodded and closed her eyes.
Sanniang was the same as last time, when she opened her eyes, she stared at her for a while, and then walked to the side of the desk to write a note, which was still folded and put into the box.
After that, Shuhui told everyone that she was thinking about the warbler swallow flower mahogany inlaid luodian screen in the flower hall.
Sanniang was still silent, just looking at the remaining Hui An and Shen Fengjiao, and nodded at them.
"Wait, the more you guess the things in this room, the easier it will be for you, so let's guess separately." Huilan saw that Sanniang couldn't see the expression on her face, and saw that she had guessed two more and wanted to continue, and Bacheng really guessed correctly, so she found fault.
Sanniang smiled good-naturedly when she heard this: "Okay, then ...... Let's guess how about the flowers in the garden? ”
Whelan rolled his eyes: "At this time, there are only a few flowers in the garden, what is there to guess?" To guess...... It's better to guess the furnishings of the county lord and Shuhui's boudoir. ”
Sanniang frowned a little embarrassed when she heard this: "However, I haven't been to the county lord and Shuhui's room, so I don't know what furnishings they write." ”
Everyone also said that this is indeed a little more difficult.
Whelan smiled as if he had succeeded in his plan: "It's not difficult for you to guess what?" Besides, don't you guess what they think? What does it matter if you see it or not? (To be continued)
