With the shout of a pot, there was a brief silence in all directions.

Cui Jing noticed that countless eyes were gathered, and the most blazing surprise came from the arena-

Immediately, the young man with red lips and white teeth trembled in shock, and his expression was so excited that Qiao Yubai was worried that he would fall off the horse.

“…… Eldest brother! ”

The eldest brother is really here!

There is no contradiction between a sincere invitation and a clear daydream -

But now the eldest brother is really here!

"Look, that's my eldest brother!" At the beginning of the game, the game was not too tense, Cui Lang Shangke was distracted while swinging to show off his eldest brother to the other three teammates: "My elder brother also came to see me bow!" ”

Qiao Yubai smiled and nodded: "I saw it." ”

The tall young man who also wore a blue ribbon around his waist and had just stopped the opponent's ball looked over: "Cui Liulangjun's eldest brother? That's the general of the Xuance Mansion, Cui Dadudu! ”

Another student from the same team with a fair complexion and a pair of narrow red phoenix eyes also glanced curiously at the young man in the pergola.

"I must win this bow today, I hope you will help!" Cui Lang felt that he had "no way out", and said excitedly: "When this big fight is won, I invite you to set up a celebration banquet in Dengtai Tower, and the banquet will be held for three days and three nights!" ”

Today he will definitely impress his eldest brother with him!

Qiao Yubai and the three of them all smiled and responded.

The tall and sturdy young man at the back of the line swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of yearning: "Then it's decided!" ”

The rival students with the sash around their waists had mixed expressions when they heard this—this set the celebration feast, when they were dead, right?

Both sides were aroused to fight, and the game gradually became fierce.

"The eldest brother really came to see the monkeys......" Cui Tang was a little surprised.

Lu Shi looked at his son, who was as high-spirited as a fighting in the field, and nodded: "This monkey is really playing." ”

Under the pergola on the woman's side, the little maid beside Qiao Yumian has been talking to Qiao Yumian about the situation on the field, and her tone often fluctuates with the game, Qiao Yumian can listen attentively and nervously.

Hearing the ladies behind him praising Qiao Yubai, Wang, who had always been relaxed, just smiled and said, "Young people are just playing."

Wang's temperament is indifferent, and the most distinctive thing about the whole person is only in two things, one is to regard her husband's fishing as a lifelong enemy, and the other is to engrave her love for burning incense and worshiping Buddha into her bones.

On the field, the high-spirited young man could not take his eyes off it, and the women occasionally whispered a few words between watching the game.

Today's sages attach great importance to the imperial examination, and they have repeatedly revised the school system of the various schools of the Guozijian, so that they can be more and more closely connected with the officialdom-

Many prisoners in Guozi Prison, due to their different backgrounds, whether they have passed the layers of annual examinations, they have been led by Mengyin to enter the ranks, or they have taken the road of serious imperial examinations, but the outstanding students among them will undoubtedly enter the officialdom in the future.

In the past two years, some families who wanted to find a wishful husband for their daughters in the family wanted to catch their sons-in-law under the list, but found that there were few to catch......

After careful inquiry, I learned that many of the young jinshi on the list had been secretly arrested by people as early as when Guozijian was studying!

In this way, in order not to pick the rest, everyone was forced to take one step earlier to snatch the candidate for a good son-in-law-

As a female dependent, she usually has no chance to contact the students in the Guozi Prison, and today's bow competition is undoubtedly a rare and good time.

Watching the bow is the main thing, but it is also secondary, and it is the right thing to use the bow to find a good man.

The students who did not participate in the bow were out of everyone's sight for a while, and so far, all the twenty-four students from these six teams have been on the field, and they all let the ladies pass by.

Among the eight people on the field at this time, aside from the two who already have the aura of a husband, among the other six, the most eye-catching is Qiao Yubai's team.

Looking at a tall and honest young man, a woman whispered to the people beside her: "...... That's the Lang Jun of the Hu family, I heard that he was a concubine. ”

The concubine can't inherit the family business, and the way out is unclear, unless he is too good.

"That's the Cui family...... It's a gentleman. ”

A woman pouted: "It's not that it has nothing to do with us, how can Cui's son be the same as ordinary children?" ”

Cui's son marries a wife, and he will not look at ordinary magnates more.

"That's pretty good, it's good-looking...... It's just looking at the eyes, I don't know which one? A woman looked at the young prisoner in the center position behind Qiao Yubai.

Many of the women shook their heads in disapproval.

Qiao Yumian listened to it in her ears and asked Chang Suining curiously: "Ning Ning, which one are those ladies talking about?" ”

"It's from Brother Yubai's team." Chang Sui Ning looked at it fixedly, and described: "It doesn't look like a Sheng person, it should be a Dongluo person-"

Qiao Yumian understood: "That's a student from Dongluo...... The surname is Xi, the name is Zhiyuan, and it has been five or six years since he came to the country. ”

The prisoners in the prison not only include Dasheng people, but also accept a small number of children from neighboring countries to study and conduct friendly exchanges.

This prisoner, whose name is Zhiyuan, is from Dongluo, an ally of Dasheng.

Chang Suining nodded lightly.

The former surname is also a noble surname in Dongluo.

"It turned out to be from Dongluo......" Xi'er was surprised, and then she was confused: "How did the girl find out?" Why does the maid see that this Dongluo person is almost the same as our Dasheng man? ”

Chang Suining picked up the drink to relieve the heat and said casually: "If you look closely, there is still a difference." ”

Wei Miaoqing on the side took a closer look at Xi Zhiyuan when she heard this, but she frowned - why couldn't she see any difference, how did this Chang Sui Ning look at it?

Thinking like this, he quietly looked at Chang Suining's eyes, and saw that the girl's eyes were as quiet as a mountain spring, and when she looked at it, it seemed that people felt that her whole body was a lot cooler.

Wei Miaoqing's face furrowed.

What's the matter with these eyes?

There are such unreasonable people in the world!

She was frustrated in her heart, and she was defeated again and again, so she had to withdraw her gaze and eat tea sullenly.

The fact that Zhiyuan was a Dongluo person quickly spread among women, and the Dongluo people did not need to think about it, and the Dasheng law clearly stated that unless the children of foreign countries settled in Dasheng and became a Shengren person, they could not intermarry with Dasheng women.

If other people still need to inquire and weigh carefully, the most eye-catching man on the field doesn't need to be discerned at all.

Qiao Yubai's excellence can't be hidden.

The son of the prince of the country is the son of wine, with excellent appearance, easy-going and gentle temperament, and outstanding in learning-

Such conditions seem to belong to the one who catches the son-in-law under the list, and can close his eyes to enter!

And even if you don't talk about those who are born and talented, you can be overwhelmed by the heroic posture of the young man on the bow field at this time.

The number of women talking around Wang's side has obviously increased, and it has even become crowded.

Duchess Duan of Zheng Guo saw that everyone was happy, so she also turned her head and asked her daughter in a low voice: "Qing'er, how is this Qiao Jialangjun?" If you feel close your eyes, A-Niang will also grab it? ”

Zheng Guogong's family of four has never been tactful.

Wei Miaoqing tugged at the handkerchief with a sullen expression and shook her head: "It's good." ”

Steward Fang on the side: "? ”

How can the girl's head and mouth still play their own games?

But there is no doubt that what Qiao Jialangjun is, the girl is not watching at all...... The girl's mind is all on the lady of the Chang family.

"Then when you see the closed eyes, talk to A-Niang again......" Duan patted his daughter's hand, then turned back and talked to Chang Suining with a smile.

Seeing this, Wei Miaoqing's heart was even more blocked, and she poured a large cup of ice drink, and her ice teeth trembled.

On the field, with the sound of a gong, the fourth quarter of the game came to an end.

"In this section, the blue side gets five flags, and the blue side wins again-"

Cui Lang, who was on the horse, raised the bow stick in his hand, and his sweaty face was full of joy: "Win!" We won! ”

Although there are five quarters in each game, so far Qiao Yubai's team has won three quarters in four quarters, and the outcome has been decided.

"Shall we compete in the rest of the sections?" The young man surnamed Hu wiped his sweat with his sleeve and asked Qiao Yubai.

In the last game, the yellow team led by Chang Miao also won three quarters in the first four quarters, and according to the rules, there was no need to play again in the fifth quarter, but Chang Miao was provocative, forcing the opponent to have to play another quarter, thus winning four quarters.

There was such a precedent, so the young man surnamed Hu asked more.

Hearing this question at this time, the four students on the other side who had already shown their declining colors exchanged glances, and also waited for Qiao Yubai's reaction.

"Naturally, I won't fight." Qiao Yubai got off the horse and said with a smile: "It's noon, if someone has a heat stroke in another session, then we won't be able to play the final game in the afternoon?" ”

He spoke honestly, but he made his own thoughts clear.

It is not self-explanatory, but it is very comfortable.

The four of them all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The outcome has been decided, their fighting spirit has collapsed, and the chances of winning another game are very small.

Fang Cai's team played really fiercely, and the losing side not only lost the game, but even his dignity was bruised, and his face was embarrassed when he came off the field.

At this time, Cui Lang had already walked towards them, smiled and raised his hand to salute: "Accept and accept!" ”

The boy was born well, and he was very pleasing with a smile on his face at this time: "Today, my brother came to watch the game, if I lose, I really can't explain, but fortunately, you have to concede, so I won this game!" ”

The four of them knew his identity, and they felt a little flattered at this time.

The schools in the Guozi Prison will divide the source of students, and most of the students in the schools they are in are hard-earned by the state capitals, and because they are far away from the Beijing Division, there are more mediocre backgrounds-

For example, of the four of them, only one of them is an official in the family, and he is a petty official who is not worth mentioning.

To put it mildly, horses were a rarity for them, and even if they had been beaten before they entered the country, they were mostly "foot fights" or "small fights".

Nowadays, there are three kinds of bowing, immediately hitting the bow for the big fight, donkey hitting the bow for the small fight, and taking the step bow for the step hit.

Therefore, they are actually incomparable to Cui Lang, the children of Jingshi who have been playing juju on horses since childhood.

Originally, the odds of winning were not great, not to mention that Qiao Yubai's blue team was also drawn-

Although he was aroused a little bit of fighting spirit at first, he still knew his own ability in his heart, and it was expected that he would lose, and Qiao Yubai was not as aggressive as that Chang Miao, and Cui Lang's attitude was also very decent.

Therefore, the four of them also relaxed at this time and returned the salute with Cui Lang.

I thought to myself, this Cui Jialiulang said that he was a gentleman, but he was kind.

The kinder ones are yet to come-

"Two days later, Cui will hold a celebration banquet in Dengtai Tower, and you will come with you!"

“？”

"This ......" The four people searched for a while, and they didn't know how to respond accurately, so they could only say: "No merit is not ......"

"How can it be useless, thanks to your concessions!"

Hearing that the referee had announced that the blue side had won the game, Cui Lang was anxious to find Qiao Yubai and a few people, so he hurriedly patted one of them on the shoulder: "That's it, you don't want to miss the appointment!" ”

As soon as he left, the four of them were left blankly looking at each other.

As they left, the four of them began to talk in a whisper.

"We lost the bow match, but we were invited to each other's celebration banquet, how could there be such a strange thing......"

"In this way, how can the other party still be suspected of humiliating people?"

"Yes...... Do you feel humiliated? The questioner had already said it to himself—he didn't have it at all, anyway.

Several others also expressed their stance in silence.

"Shall we go then?"

"That's the Cui family, if you don't go, will you offend the Cui family?"

When these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became terrifying, and suddenly there was a smell of ruining the future if you were not careful.

In a moment of tension, someone suddenly said, "Wait, have you overlooked a question-"

The other three looked at him.

"They haven't won yet." The student said, "They have to compete again in the afternoon." ”

Each team draws lots before the game to determine the order of the game, the first half of the six teams left three teams, in the second half of the afternoon, the two teams that won in front of the first game, after the winner is divided, the winner will be with the remaining team, that is, Qiao Yubai's blue team to compete in the last game, in order to divide the final winner.

It was almost noon, the first half of the race had ended, and everyone needed to rest for the most crucial final race in the afternoon.

In the meantime, predicting wins and losses is also a fun thing.

The people from all over the world dispersed for a while, talking in twos and threes.

Most of the prisoners went to the canteen of the Guozijian, and the Guozijian also specially prepared meals for the officials who came today, and at this time they were guided by the scholars.

Some of the more important or personal officials were personally accompanied by Qiao Saijiu, including Cui Jing, Wei Shuyi and Yao Tingwei.

"Today, I will taste the fish banquet in our country's prison...... Qiao Xianjiu introduced as he walked: "Every fish in this is prepared by Qiao himself for you." ”

“……”

Qiao Yumian, who was walking behind, even though she couldn't see with her eyes, it didn't prevent her from making a tacit glance with Chang Suining beside her.

Daddy's fish will not let go of anyone who comes to the country to eat.

Qiao Yubai and Cui Lang, who had discussed the plan for the final game in the afternoon with their teammates, caught up at this time.

Cui Lang ran over: "Eldest brother! ”

Cui Lang, who rarely did a glorious thing, ran extremely fast, and when the wind passed by, he accidentally touched half of Qiao Yumian's shoulder.

Qiao Yumian let out a low exclamation and hurriedly avoided the inside.

Chang Suining stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulder: "Sister, don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

This exclamation Cui Lang suddenly paused at his feet, he thoughtfully "Huh", then retreated back, looked at Qiao Yumian, and suddenly said, "It's you." ”

Are you ready to go back? I'm going back tomorrow_(:з"∠)_
