Chapter 168: Flowing Water (2)
Biyu wonders: What is the idea that the man is responsible for the upstream and the several women are in the downstream for the fishing? Originally, the work of filling the sake, holding it on a wooden board, and drifting down in the water could have been done by the next person. Shouldn't we all wait downstream for the wine to drift through?
However, one of the obvious benefits of this is that it separates men and women. Seeing Xiao Mo's arrangement, although Biyu didn't dare to object, he sneered and asked, "Is Zhen Yu Ling a man or a woman?" To be upstream or downstream? β
"Do you want to care? In front of the princess, I advise you to be well-behaved, and don't hurry up and prepare! β
Biyu was reprimanded by Xiao Mo, and hurriedly went to prepare wine and other things.
The barrier is set up in the flattest place near the water. The three positions in the barrier are arranged in order: Princess Yong'an is in the center, Zhixin is on the right, and the position of the left hand is reserved for Xiao Mo. Four positions outside the step barrier, Chunlan and Peony sat on the left, in the most downstream, next to Xiao Mo, Ah Miao and Ah Yan were on the right of Zhixin, closest to the upstream.
Princess Yong'an and Zhixin were seated, and Xiao Mo beckoned the four maids to take their seats, but they refused. Chunlan said with a smile: "Although we haven't played the Qushui Liuzhen, we also know the rules, and the wine is in front of us, and the wine is reluctant, but we still have to write poems, which is difficult." β
Ah Miao also said: "This sister is right, we are no better than the treasure order, and we are no better than the princess and the female doctor, we are just stupid subordinates, how can we chant any poems?" Although the princess loved her, she did not dare to obey. β
Xiao Mo smiled when he heard this: "What should I do, it turns out that this is the case." What we want to be happy today is that the rules are set by people, so why stick to one aspect? There is no law that stipulates that the flow of water must be written in poetry. What's more, we are not children of a family, and as for poems, we don't have to. β
Everyone was relieved and sat down in turn according to the regulations.
Xiao Mo didn't take a seat first, but walked upstream, picked up a wine bud, poured it full of wine, and said, "You must also have an order for those who put the wine buds." I'll give you a sample to see where this wine can drift in general, and I'll do it for the first time. Then there is Shi Biyu, Brother Shu, Aji, who has known each other for a long time, and finally this little brother Huren. β
Everyone said they had no opinion. After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he put the wine buds into the wooden plate, gently placed them in the water, pushed them forward, and let them drift up. At the beginning of the section, the drop was still a little high, and the wine bud drifted very quickly, but the more you got to the back, the more gentle the terrain became, and the wine bud drifted more and more slowly, and when you arrived at the place where Princess Yong'an and the others were sitting, there was basically no drop, and when they encountered a little resistance, or the inertia was exhausted, they could stop anywhere.
Xiao Mo moved on the shore following the flow of the wine buds, slowly drifting in front of Zhixin, just walking in his own position, and then did not move. Zhixin rubbed her hand on her chest and smiled: "It's so hanging, it just doesn't happen to be me." β
Princess Yong'an laughed at Xiao Mo and said: "The wine bud that drifts by yourself stops in front of your seat, you call it the so-called 'self-reaping fruit', right?" β
"The princess is a misnomer! I haven't done anything bad, so how can I reap the consequences? Xiao Mo hurriedly objected.
"Whether it's appropriate or not, it means the same thing. I didn't say 'eat your own'. β
It's rare to be so happy, Princess Yong'an is a little open-mouthed, although this is a bit indecent, but it is a true expression of the intimacy of several people. When Zhixin and the others heard this, they couldn't help laughing. Xiao Mo had just drunk all the wine, and after hearing such vulgar words, he was so hung up and vomited. "Princess, I see that you are so happy today, why are you so vulgar words said, you are also a princess! There are a lot of outsiders here! β
Princess Yong'an knew that she was speechless, so she sat down upright.
Next, it's time for Biyu to put in the wine. He took the tray of the servant's poured wine and placed it gently on the water, his eyes fixed on the barrierβthe target was not Xiao Mo, of course, but Dr. Xin and Princess Yong'an.
"There are three people in the step barrier, Dr. Xin is the closest, the princess is in the middle, and Jiang Xiaomo is the farthest. The wine bud that Xiao Mo was drifting in just now happened to be still within the barrier, and as long as I used a little less force than him, then I could most likely stop in front of Dr. Xin. But that is not very accurate, in case the strength is too small, it will not reach the range of the barrier, and can only reach his two maidservants. It's better to use a little more force, even if you can't stop in front of Dr. Xin, at least you can stop in front of the princess......" Biyu thought in his heart, holding the hand of the wine and not letting go.
Xiao Mo saw that the second wine bud was delayed, so he came out of the barrier and shouted: "Shi Biyu, what are you doing, can you play?" If it doesn't work, let me Brother Shu come. β
This voice made Biyu's hand tremble, and the wine bud unnaturally let go, without much force. This wine bud drifted downstream at a slower speed than Xiao Mo's.
Zhixin didn't want to play this kind of mixed game of men and women, but she was forced to accompany the princess, so she was calm and calm, and she didn't care if the wine would stop in front of her, the big deal was to drink a few more glasses of wine and not have to write poems. Then again, even if she writes poems, who is she afraid of? One is his apprentice, the other is a strange eunuch, and four maidservants. Even if these six people are combined, they are all right.
Xiao Mo, except for Shu Yan's wine, no one else wants to take it. But there are three women who very much hope that Biyu's wine buds will stop in front of them, namely Princess Yong'an, Ah Miao, and Ah Yan. This wine bud didn't have much momentum at the beginning, and when it passed by Ah Yan, who was in the first place, it was already weak, and it barely drifted to the position of the second Ah Miao and stopped moving forward. Princess Yong'an didn't wait for the wine of the person she admired, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost; Ah Yan was a little more jealous and hateful, so angry that she glared at Ah Miao a few times, but she helplessly watched the other party scoop up the wine and drink.
The third is Shu Yan. Xiao Mo secretly looked out of the barrier, and saw that Shu Yan took a wine stick, and poured the wine himself without a servant, and he was very happy in his heart, and he was full of hope that this wine would be his own.
Shu Yan didn't think much about it, just played the game frankly. He had no goal in mind, so he just put the wine in the water, and let it drift without exerting any force.
Coincidentally, it stopped in front of Zhixin steadily.
Xiao Mo watched this wine bud float all the way, but it had nothing to do with herself, although she did not show strong jealousy like Ah Yan, but she was also very angry. Seeing Zhixin poke into her jade arm, she took a drink from the river and drank it. The most infuriating thing is that he is so eager to do this, but the other party looks disdainful.
Her own heart is full of blood and blood, and the rest of the people don't know it, and they are still calm.
Fourth, the wine buds put by Aggie have drifted in a hurry. It turned out that there was a lot of wind in spring, and at this time, a strong wind suddenly blew and sparkled the calm water. The wind helps the water to speed, the water helps the speed of the water, and this wine bud also floated away all the way on the steeply accelerated current, until it passed the last peony and did not stop. Everyone looked at this wild horse-like wine bud and felt surprised, and they couldn't help but put on a natural smile, and even Xiao Mo's mood changed.
Ah Zhuang is the last one. He also has a goal, and that is Ah Miao. At the beginning, he was in love with Ah Miao, and he did not hesitate to kill Liu San Mazi and sneak into Shifu. He is full of enthusiasm and always wants to find an opportunity to talk to Ah Miao. But Ah Miao ignored his love, and never said a word to him or looked at him more. Slowly, Ah Zhuang also reined in a lot, but his infatuation did not completely give up.
Ah Miao sat in the second position, very close. Because Biyu happened to stop at Ah Miao's place just now, he imitated Biyu and didn't use much force, but he was afraid that a sudden gust of wind would blow the wine away from him, so he rotated the wooden plate holding the wine to slow down the speed of the drift. The swirling wine buds really slowed down, but they didn't meet the wind, and they barely stopped in front of Ah Yan, who was in the first place.
Although Ah Yan didn't have the wine of the two handsome men, Biyu and Shu Yan, she finally waited for one, so she drank the wine, and looked back in the upstream direction and smiled. I don't know who this move is aimed at. Ah Zhuang failed to reach his goal, and although Ah Yan was so charming, he didn't see it either.
Princess Yong'an saw that the round was over, and she didn't catch any of them, so she was very unhappy and ordered to hurry up and come to the second round. Xiao Mo ran upstream, passed on the princess's words, and secretly said to Shu Yan: "Can you let the wine cup drift a little farther?" β
Shu Yan was puzzled, how did he know Xiao Jiujiu in Xiao Mo's heart, and asked inexplicably: "Why do you want to ask a little farther?" β
"Because ......" Shu Yan asked rhetorically without hesitation, which made Xiao Mo very embarrassed and weak-hearted, and Biyu and the others also heard it and were waiting for him to answer.
"You fools, of course, because of the princess! You don't want to think about it, our main task today is to play with the princess, but you are all so close that you can't get to the princess, can the princess be happy? β
Xiao Mo took out the princess as a cover, and the reason was quite sufficient, and everyone was of course convinced.
Needless to say, it was certainly a little farther away than jade this time. He promised, but the target was still biased towards Dr. Yu Xin. This time, he learned from his experience and worked hard when he put the wine in the wine.
In fact, not everyone wants the wine to stop in front of them, and even on the contrary, most of them want to stay away from themselves. Because of the formal meandering water, the sake buds will float over in a steady stream, and if someone is in such a gentle area with a slight flow rate, it is not impossible to even drink a few cups if they can't get it right. The most important thing is to drink just wine, but also to write poems. In this way, it is a test of people's alcohol and talent, but not everyone can do it.
But today's Qushui Liuzhen is informal, not only does it not need to write poems, but the frequency of wine is much less, and most of these women are a little cautious, so there is this diametrically opposite mentality.
After playing for a long time, Princess Yong'an didn't catch a wine bud, it was very boring, so she secretly poked her head out to look upstream, and saw a wine bud drifting and shaking, knowing that it was put by Biyu, and silently thought in her heart: Come here, come here, come here......
Maybe it was because of the effect of the mind, and sure enough, after Zhixin's ignorance, this wine bud really stopped in front of Princess Yong'an. This made her ecstatic, thinking that it was a rare fate, picked up the wine, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, but she was reluctant to drink it in one gulp, pretending to be overwhelmed by the wine, and slowly drank the wine while tasting it.
is also a woman, of course Zhixin saw Princess Yong'an's thoughts, and secretly laughed, but because of the identity of the princess, she didn't dare to joke publicly. Xiao Mo didn't dare to laugh at Princess Yong'an, she also had her own careful thoughts, and she was not much better than others.
Shu Yan really listened to Xiao Mo's words, this time, he had to drift the wine farther away. Last time, I let the wine drift by myself without exerting any force at all, but it just stopped in front of Dr. Xin. But he felt that the wine buds would float all the way over, and they would definitely stop in front of a certain person, which was a normal phenomenon, and he didn't think it was fate. But Xiao Mo doesn't think so, she doesn't believe that this game will definitely have any fate, she just thinks that it is natural that what Brother Shu throws out must fall into her own hands, and it is very unacceptable to fall into the hands of other women, especially a talented and good-looking woman like Dr. Xin.
She also prayed like Princess Yong'an. It seemed that everything was as he wished, and this wine bud floated straight in front of Dr. Xin, and suddenly slowed down when it reached Princess Yong'an, and then stopped steadily in front of him.
"God has eyes, and heaven is as people wish!" Xiao Mo was very happy, and felt that happiness came too appropriately and deservedly.
I'll just say, God won't be so uninteresting, knowing my thoughts about Brother Shu, how can he not care for me......
The winds in spring are always changeable. Just when Xiao Mo was intoxicated and didn't pick up the wine bud from the river for a long time, a crooked wind suddenly appeared, and this wine bud blew upstream in the reverse direction with this crooked wind. It is said that it is upstream, but in fact, there is no drop in this section of the embankment, and it is very gentle.
Xiao Mo was simply stunned and at a loss, watching this wine bud drift all the way back, passing Princess Yong'an, impartially, and stopped moving when it arrived in front of Zhixin.
Some people died, but not completely......
