Chapter 2: Gambling
As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, and some people whispered, probably laughing at Gu Mingzhu's inadequacy, who in this Gusu City didn't know that Gu Mingzhu couldn't pick up his shoulders and couldn't lift them.
Someone deliberately laughed and said, "Gu Mingzhu, can you pull the bow?"
"Pearl!" Shen Yuying hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and whispered anxiously, "What are you talking about!" ”
Gu Mingzhu patted the back of her hand comfortingly, turned her eyes to Qi Feiyan, and said, "Miss Qi, if I can't win the first place in hunting......" She paused: "I knelt three times and knelt nine times from North Street to Qi Mansion to make amends to you, but if I win the first place, you!" Kneel at the gate of the Gu family, kowtow to me three times to admit my mistake! ”
If it was just nonsense just now, then Gu Mingzhu's current words would be crazy words.
Everyone is a family with a head and a face, let the concubine kowtow and admit her mistakes, this is no longer a quarrel between the girl's family, this gamble is the face of the whole family!
Qi Feiyan was also shocked, but she quickly reacted.
Gu Mingzhu, who is delicate and weak on weekdays, how can she be a prey? What can she hunt? There are many sons and daughters in the audience, which one is not thousands of times stronger than her?
And this bet is so tempting!
Qi Feiyan imagined the feeling of Gu Mingzhu bowing three times and bowing to her to admit her mistake, and trampling the proud girl of heaven in Gusu City under her feet......
"Gu Mingzhu, this is what you said! I'll bet with you! ”
"It's nonsense!" Qi Ming spoke out to stop: "Yanyan, you don't want to make another incident."
The field is full of people watching the excitement, this bet can be called a big gamble, whether you win or lose, it is enough to watch.
Qi Ming smiled apologetically at Gu Mingzhu and said, "Miss Gu, Yan Yan is not sensible, you don't have to take it to heart."
Without waiting for her to speak, Qi Feiyan was unhappy: "Brother! It's her own bet! She looked at Gu Mingzhu with a provocative gaze and said, "Gu Mingzhu, the big words are out, don't regret it!"
As the words came out, Gu Mingzhu would no longer let it have room to maneuver, she turned her eyes to the side, raised a smile, and said, "Little Master Song, please be a witness." ”
Song Zixi's inquiring gaze fell on her, and after a moment, he nodded.
With Song Zixi as a witness, it will be easy to do.
Qi Feiyan had already seen the result, and said mockingly: "Gu Mingzhu, don't play tricks if you lose!" ”
Gu Mingzhu ignored her, turned her head to Shen Yuying, who was full of urgency, and said, "Yuying, didn't you bring a set of robes?" Give it to me. ”
The clothes made by Shen Yuying with her own hands should have been prepared for Wu Yue, but on the way here, Gu Mingzhu saw it in the carriage, and the robe did not match Wu Yue's size at all, it must be that this guy made a mistake in size according to his habits, and he has not noticed it yet.
Shen Yuying gritted her teeth and took Gu Mingzhu to change clothes.
In the inner room, Gu Mingzhu slowly undressed, and Shen Yuying thought of an idea worriedly: "Mingzhu, otherwise you are pretending to be sick, right?" ”
Gu Mingzhu ripped off the pear blossom belt.
"It's better for me to knock you out, this matter will be over after fooling, it's really not good......" Shen Yuying pushed open the back window and looked around: "You go from here, as soon as you leave, this matter will be over, at most they will laugh at a few words afterwards, and you won't really go to knock and worship, you are very squeamish on weekdays, you don't even have the strength to carry a bucket of water, how can you hunt ......"
Shen Yuying's last word was stuck in her throat after she turned around.
In a few words, Gu Mingzhu had already changed her clothes, took off her hairpin beads, pulled up her high ponytail, was quite satisfied with her dress, turned around on the spot, and said, "Your clothes are just right for me."
Shen Yuying couldn't help nodding, it was indeed very suitable for her.
Gu Mingzhu's complexion is very white, and it stands to reason that she can't suppress this gloomy color at all, but she is radiant, especially a pair of big eyes that are as bright as grapes, clear to the bottom, and her temperament is not as gentle as an ordinary girl.
Shen Yuying looked at it and suddenly came to her senses.
"Oops!" She patted her thigh in annoyance and said, "When I made clothes, I judged them according to my body, but fortunately I didn't give them out, otherwise I would have made a joke!" She moved closer, helped her to look left and right, and finally looked at Gu Mingzhu fixedly, and said: "But Mingzhu, you look so good in this dress, this Liuyun scarlet robe is worn on your body, and there are already five points between your eyebrows and eyes that are similar to Brother Xiurong." ”
Gu Mingzhu and her brother looked alike, listening to Shen Yuying's words, she took a self-portrait in the mirror, and she was very satisfied.
There was the neighing of horses outside, Gu Mingzhu restrained his smile, straightened his cuffs, and looked serious: "Go out." ”
Shen Yuying opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something again, but the matter had come to this point, and Mingzhu was determined to win, and it was useless to say more.
Shen Yuying sent her to the paddock, although she was worried in her heart, she still smiled and said, "Mingzhu, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
Almost everyone on the field was waiting for her, or rather waiting to see if she would leave the room.
"It's a kind of ......," someone whispered.
Gu Mingzhu took the bow and arrow handed by the attendant, and quickly brought the horse, she finished the inspection, flew on the horse in front of everyone's eyes, and after sitting firmly, her eyes searched for Qi Feiyan in the crowd, her eyes were full of arrogance and mockery, and a smile that was determined to win.
Make eye contact.
Gu Mingzhu smiled, she pulled up the reins, the horse felt the eagerness of the owner, raised her front hooves like a demonstration, Gu Mingzhu smiled wantonly in the spring sunshine, she turned her head to look at Shen Yuying, and said confidently: "Wait for me to come back!"
"Drive!"
A dozen horses raised the yellow sand in the paddock and soon disappeared into the distance.
If you want to hunt, you must go to the east of the paddock, where more than a dozen mountains stretch to form a huge ridge, and the people of Gusu name it Canglan. The mountains are wooded, the foot of the mountain is long and wide, and there is a lot of prey.
Halfway through the road, those who were familiar with the route had already taken the horse and left, and more than a dozen people soon only Gu Mingzhu and Wu Yue were left.
Wu Yue was behind her at first, but after the crowd dispersed, she quickened her horse and said, "Mingzhu, you follow me today, and my prey is yours." ”
The huge Canglan Mountain is almost boundless at a glance, and the towering giant trees are towering into the clouds.
Gu Mingzhu drove the horse and said, "This matter is not so simple. ”
"The Qi family has always been at odds with my family in business, and they are good friends with several other families, even if they can wear Yang in a hundred steps today, the number can't compare to them."
Wu Yue looked sideways and said, "Are you saying that the Qi family will unite with several other families to deal with you?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "That's it. ”
Wu Yue was silent.
When it comes to the reputations of the two families, even if Qi Ming is okay on weekdays, he can indeed do such a thing. Even if he is good at archery, in just half a day, the number of people cannot exceed five.
Wu Yue couldn't find a way for a while, so he couldn't help asking: "Since you have thought of this, you will lose the game, why should you gamble?" ”
"I have the same question as Wu Gongzi." A voice came from behind him.
The two looked back at the same time.
is the second son of the Song Zhizhou family, Song Zixi.
Gu Mingzhu and Wu Yue both looked at each other suspiciously.
Why hasn't he left yet?
Song Zixi drove his horse to catch up with the two and asked, "Why do you have to gamble if you must lose?" ”
Xu is from an official family, Song Zixi is under the influence of his ears and eyes, although he is not very old, he always feels old-fashioned, plus he is outstanding in learning, and he likes to be dark, he is more like a Zhizhou than his father.
Gu Mingzhu said: "Qi Feiyan insulted my brother, I can't bear it. ”
Song Zixi said: "But you lose, you lose the face of the entire Gu family, this big gamble, no matter who wins, is not a good thing." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Song Gongzi, people fight for a breath of Buddha for a stick of incense, I only talk about winning or losing today, and I will talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow, and besides, I won't lose!"
Gu Mingzhu's eyes were full of confidence when she said this, the strong wind blew the crimson hairband, and the girl's body was full of flamboyant light.
Song Zixi has seen many people of all kinds, some are arrogant and rude, some are boastful and truthful, some are humble and virtuous, and some are blindly confident like Gu Mingzhu......
He smiled faintly and said, "Then I wish Miss Gu a victory."
"Thank you!"
