Chapter Eighty-Four: Snow Furnace and Pitcher

The poetry order ended here, Zuo Qing sent someone to bring the barbecue rack, and asked Ah Yu to serve the venison slices and put it on the plate. After stretching his muscles, Xilou got up and said, "It's time for me to show off my talents!" ”

Su Yan had never seen barbecue, so he asked himself to be an assistant and learned the techniques of the West Building to help barbecue. From time to time, the smell of meat overflows, and even the musicians on the ice lake temporarily stop to play the qin and look this way.

After three rounds of wine, the wind and snow are gradually slowing down, the barbecue in the west building is happy, and the heat emitted from the furnace will warm the shed like a spring day.

Su Yan brought the gilded pot and said to everyone: "The lord in charge is bold, and he bought a Qiankun lock out of his own pocket and a jade gourd as a bargaining chip. Each of the four halls must send one person to throw the pot in turn, divided into four rounds, and the winner can take these two good things. As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Zuo Qing, Zuo Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and Yan Sheng immediately served the wooden plate. Everyone looked at it carefully, and some people were surprised: "Could these two things be from the Jade Workshop?" ”

Zuo Qing nodded and said: "This jade gourd was carved by the old owner many years ago, and now his old man rarely handles jade, so it can be regarded as a treasure." ”

Liang Qiluo of Shuyoutang couldn't help but stand up when he heard that it was from the jade workshop, and after seeing the two rare treasures, he was puzzled: "Looking at the world, the craftsmanship of the old owner is the first, and the jade he made is hard to find, and now this jade gourd has become out of print, and the master in charge actually uses it as a bargaining chip, why is this?" ”

"Presumably, the master in charge didn't pay a lot of money when he bought it, maybe he has a good eye, and he has already bought several things, and he doesn't feel distressed if he misses one and a half pieces." Xu Ziya clasped his hands to his chest, watched the students crowd around the baby, shook his head, and said disdainfully, "A group of vulgar people! ”

Liang Qiluo looked at him and snorted: "I just like an object, as for labeling them vulgarly?" If you want me to say, you are pretentious! ”

"Looks like you like that jade gourd? Pitching is very simple, if you call me a nice sound, I will go for you! Xu Ziya was not angry, but said to her with a smile.

Liang Qiluo really likes the jade gourd, but he doesn't know how to throw pots. She frowned and stared at him for a long time, and asked unwillingly, "What do you call you?" ”

"Naturally, the ones that sound good are 'brother', 'son' and the like."

"Phew! You are not from a family of eunuchs in Kyoto, and you are not a famous family, how can you be considered a son, at most you are a little brother. ”

Xu Ziya's face bloomed with joy, and said, "Okay, little brother is little brother, I'll call you my brother!" Without waiting for Liang Qiluo to explain, he quickly stood up and squeezed towards the crowd.

Xu Ziya has no father or mother, no one knows his origin, only that he was recommended by Zuo Qing back then, and he has lived in the academy since he was a child, and he has been until now. He is a withdrawn person and rarely interacts with people, and this time he has made a lot of efforts to be the representative of Shu Youtang, and some people will inevitably wonder: "Old Monster Xu, you grew up in the academy when you were a child, let alone throw pots, even the usual things of rich people have never been seen, but don't be ugly and lose the face of Shu Youtang!" ”

"Yes, although it's a small game, it's also a serious competition, you haven't played it before, where does the confidence come from to represent Shu Youtang? Let's ask Mr. Su to change someone. ”

Xu Ziya did not refute, but drew an arrow from the quiver, stood half a zhang away from the gilded amphora pot, and threw it very casually, hitting the mouth of the pot. The nearest Qingpingtang student saw it clearly, and while he was shocked, his heart was full of depression: "He's like throwing garbage, it's too casual!" ”

Su Yan picked up the arrow and said happily to everyone: "Shu Youtang will send Xu Ziya to compete, and the remaining gentlemen will also quickly appoint a player." ”

"Then I'll do this shooting, it's the most fair and just." Zuo Qing said.

In the end, Zuiyuntang is discharged by Ji, Leshengtang is Suo Qingqiu, and Qingpingtang is Chengyu. This Cheng Yu is very big, is the daughter of the new criminal department waiter, the grandfather of the ancestor was the prince's teacher, he was fortunate to enter the palace when he was a child to study with the little princess, and later entered the academy to study, it is said that the family named to go to the Qingping Hall where the Buddha is located. It seems that this squire of the criminal department and the singer also have a relatively friendly relationship.

As soon as Jin Qi saw that Suo Qingqiu was also there, he immediately cheered Xu Ziya: "Old Monster Xu, you must come out on top and defeat Suo Qingqiu!" ”

Suo Qingqiu was breaking his wrist to loosen his muscles, and when he heard such a provocation, he couldn't help but be depressed: "Nangong Jinqi, you are sick, it's just a game!" ”

Jin Qi rolled his eyes, "Then I have to defeat you, and I feel comfortable in my heart!" ”

"I've tried to compete with masters since I was a child, and I've won every time, and today is no exception, your school's Xu Lao Wei is just lucky, if you talk about real kung fu, it's far inferior to me!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a coaxing at the end of Le Shengtang, and this lock Qingqiu became more and more proud, and his hands were on his waist and he raised his chin proudly. Seeing that this momentum was about to be suppressed, Su Yan couldn't wait to pull the students of Shu Youtang to boost Xu Ziya's morale. Jin Qi patted Xu Ziya's shoulder vigorously and said: "You must kill all sides, so that she can't cry, you will be my friend in the future, if your friend is in trouble, I will definitely be able to stick a knife in your ribs, now you will help me insert her knife!" ”

Xu Ziya asked her suspiciously: "Do you have a grudge?" ”

"That's not it, it's just that I can't see this kind of person disrespectful to my husband, I'm angry!" As he spoke, he clenched his fists.

Xu Ziya never knew that this Suo Qingqiu was so disrespectful, he nodded vigorously, this kind of person really has to be punished.

After Zuo Qing recounted the rules, Zuiyuntang's Youji bore the brunt, and he entered the pot for the first time, got two chips, and the smug look was on his face. He was happily trying to see how his classmates admired him, and he didn't think that they were all discussing the sound of the long pot, but he noticed that after he threw the arrow, there was indeed a pleasant sound in the long pot, like the sound of plucking the strings. Immediately afterwards, Qingpingtang came out of the ranks, and Cheng Yu may have been a little nervous, this first attempt, the arrow and the pot brushed, and he did not invest. Then there are the Lesheng Hall and the Shuyou Hall, both of which are in the middle of the game, each with two chips.

Another round, still started with, but this second pitcher did not hit, and Lock Qingqiu was hit in a row, and he got two more chips. This time, Cheng Yu settled down and finally threw the arrow into the pot. As expected, Xu Ziya is also Lianzhong. After two rounds, Suo Qingqiu and Xu Ziya won two games in a row after a draw, and finally won 16 chips. From Ji to the fourth chip, Cheng Yu pulled back a game with a piercing ear in the last game and won eight chips, and now only Xu Ziya has not thrown the last arrow.

Jin Qi asked Su Yan in a low voice: "Sir, Suo Qingqiu's two piercing ears is already powerful, Xu Laowei only scored six chips three times, and in the last game, he can win the game by at least throwing a coherent ear, do you think he can win?" ”

Su Yan didn't seem to care if Xu Ziya could win, but asked about the rules of pitching, Jin Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You haven't figured out the rules yet!" Although he complained, he still explained to her, "In fact, the rules of pitching the pot are very simple, as long as you enter the pot, you will get two chips, if you put the arrow into one of the long pot ears, you will get four chips, this is called piercing the ear, if you can connect the middle of the ear, that is, throw both ears, that is the eight chips, if each arrow is into the pot in the end, add an additional four chips!" Now only Suo Qingqiu has entered the pot for the second time, and two of them are piercing ears, so an additional four chips are added to the basic twelve chips, for a total of sixteen chips. At present, Xu Laowei only got six chips in three rounds, if he wants to win, he must win the last game, and he must be in a row, then he can get eighteen chips and win Suo Qingqiu! ”

Su Yan nodded like pounding garlic, and applauded again and again: "I can't imagine that you are usually not good at academics, and you have such a good algorithm in the game, you are impressed by the teacher!" ”

Jin Qi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, not daring to say anything more.

Xu Ziya drew two arrows, and before the momentum started, it attracted a burst of cheers. Suo Qingqiu suddenly panicked and looked at Xu Ziya nervously. I saw Xu Ziya pinching the arrow with both hands, the arrow was slightly raised, aiming at the ears of the long pot, and throwing it into the wind, and then a crisp and pleasant sound came from the ampulla, Zuo Qing immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Even in the middle of the ear, eight chips!" ”

Xu Ziya didn't think so, turned his head and went to Yansheng to take the jade gourd. Seeing all this, Suo Qingqiu bit his lip unwillingly, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only watch him give the jade gourd to Liang Qiluo.

The small game of throwing pots continued for another round, and the remaining Qiankun lock was still taken by Xu Ziya. Jin Qi thought that Xu Ziya gave the jade gourd to Liang Qiluo as a generous gesture to his classmates, so he cheekily begged for it, Xu Ziya looked at her expressionlessly, and then threw the Qiankun lock to Qiluo.

Su Yan leaned over and said to her: "People are two evils, naturally help each other, and when you are like them one day, you can naturally get Xu Ziya's generous gift." ”

Jin Qi was puzzled: "When are they so good?" Why didn't I find out? ”

Su Yan patted her little cheek, "You have fun all day long, and you can remember that the way home is Amitabha!" ”

The Yuan Zheng has passed, and in the blink of an eye, on February 20, the college resumed teaching.

Jin Qi and Eldest Sun Yue were both dressed in new clothes today, one set of red and one set of green, dangling in front of Su Yan. Ah Yu brought breakfast from outside, saw the two girls, and exclaimed in surprise: "Didn't Sir say that you should read the book first, and then go to class after half an hour, why did you come here?" Since you're here, I'll make you tea! ”

"No need!" Jin Qi grabbed her, turned to Su Yan and said, "What's the point of going to class, let's go to the street together later, and I'll be a host and invite you to dinner!" ”

The eldest grandson was surprised: "Is this to skip class?" Are you not afraid of your parents to blame? ”

"They don't expect me to succeed in my studies, just don't get into trouble! Moreover, Mr. Su is kind to my family, he should have been a host a long time ago, and if he wants to go, he will go to the most famous tavern in Ruoshui to eat! ”

Su Yan said wistfully: "The heavens will descend on the people, how can they be content with pleasure and not learn their careers?" ”

Jin Qi disagreed: "The eldest grandson and I are more intelligent, and we won't become stupid if we study for one less day," she thought of a bad idea and told Su Yan, "Mr. will let Ah Yan go to the school, in the name of supervising reading, anyway, today's first class, few people in the school came, no one would care, we can go out!" ”

When Ah Yan, who was held by her neck, heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "No, no, Ah Yu won't lie!" ”

When the eldest grandson heard that he was going to deceive people and sneak out, he was so frightened that his eyes were dizzy. Su Yan's eyes rolled quickly, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful he felt, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "I haven't been out for a long time, it's up to you!" ”

"But I'm tired of eating Jingzhong Restaurant, so it's better to go to Yunlai Pavilion......"

"Why don't you go another day......" Changsun Yue said without confidence.

Jin Qi was angry: "Coward, are you afraid that your father will come to ask for the crime again?" If it wasn't for the complaint of Changsun Xi last time, how could we have been discovered! You just put a hundred hearts, she didn't come to the academy this time, I don't know where she is free! ”

As soon as Su Yan heard about Changsun Xi, he remembered that he was almost accused of being convicted last time just because he appeared in Yunlai Pavilion at the same time as Jinqi. I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, and I had the intention of retreating. How could he be helpless, as if he had taken the wrong medicine, he really couldn't help it, so he had to reluctantly make it difficult. In order to protect the eldest Sun family and the Nangong family from coming to her for trouble, she changed into men's clothes and went straight to Nayunlai Pavilion.

Su Yan changed into a dark green brocade robe, tied his hair and wore a crown, followed by two entourages, and stopped outside the Yunlai Pavilion. This yellow-shirted boy is Jinqi, and this blue-robed boy is Changsun Yue.

The eldest grandson Yue gently fanned the folding fan, quite the temperament of a good son in the south of the Yangtze River, and said with a smile: "In the end, Yunlai Pavilion is the most magnificent, and he can afford the faΓ§ade of this street!" ”

Jin Qi looked at her, shook his head again and again, and said, "When I was in the academy, I was still cowering, and I changed my clothes and stood here, and I actually lived!" Eldest Sun Yue, you won't be pretending to be reserved, right? ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "I'm not just going to be at ease. I heard that the girl from Yunlai Pavilion is no worse than Mr. Jin, and she ran away in a hurry when she first came, and she didn't have a chance to listen to her songs, so why don't we order her tonight? ”

Jin Qi sneered: "The eldest grandson...", the name has not yet been called Quan, and Su Yan has covered his mouth, "Be careful of being heard, let's call each other brothers, don't call them by their names." ”

After explaining, the three of them entered in parallel, and immediately greeted several women with good qualifications, pulling and trying to compete for business. The saw Su Yan from a distance and immediately greeted her, "Yo! Su Gongzi! After a few days, I finally thought of us! ”

Su Yan hurriedly opened her with a fan, "Open your eyes and talk nonsense, isn't it, I've only been here a few times, and you will say that you won't come for a few days, don't let my friends laugh at me!" ”

"Yes, yes, I was wrong! So what kind of girl does Su Gongzi need this time? As he spoke, he summoned a few more women.

Seeing this, the two teenagers behind him retreated one after another, and Su Yan hurriedly said: "These two friends of mine just want to order Miss Moxuan alone, she shouldn't have gone out yet, right?" ”

chuckled and shook their feather fans, "You really can't see me?" What do you do with Moxuan? Pleasure or accompaniment? I don't think I can do anything, can I? ”

"You... What do you mean?! Jin Qi said nervously.

smiled: "It's not interesting, since that's the case, then let Mo Xuan serve all the sons, don't stand it!" After that, he led them upstairs, and met Mo Xuan at the corner of the second floor, wearing a blue-gray floor dress, and his apricot lips lined the skin more and more translucently, which was very good-looking.

Su Yan was stunned, but was pulled back by an exclamation from the eldest grandson. Su Yan only heard the three words of Changsun Xi, and as she looked at it, several people were taken aback, so surprised!

Su Yan picked them apart, carefully identified them, if it was really Changsun Xi who was dressed as a man, who were the men around him?

"That man, come often, a woman like you, troublesome!" frowned.

Su Yan exclaimed: "She has a marriage contract, if the water folk wind is so wild!" ”

rolled their eyes: "Ruoshui's folk customs are very good, it's just her own prodigal." ”

Su Yan didn't bother with profligacy, staring at the few men with feminine faces. , Changsun Yue and others were caught off guard, and Su Yan was not surprised by Changsun Xi's appearance, but was very curious about what business Yunlai Pavilion was doing!

"Hey! They are the owners of the money, and they bought a private room here, and sang songs every night, and they could hear them from afar! She secretly glanced at the two people beside Su Yan, lowered her voice and leaned into her ear and said, "Those men are not my people, they were brought in from outside by the eldest grandson, and they are just borrowing my land." ”

As he was talking, Changsun Xi discovered them, a flash of panic flashed on his face, and he immediately pushed the man next to him into the room, and when he turned his head and walked towards Su Yan, there was no wave on his face.

"Isn't this Mr. Su, why did you come here to drink flower wine?" Changsun Xi opened her mouth first, she thought that she could achieve the effect of taking her into an army by doing this, but it didn't work Su Yan didn't eat this set, and asked rhetorically, "These two beautiful men who just entered are quite broad, and they don't match your small body, is it..."

"Su Yan!" Eldest Sun Xi shouted, "What's the matter with you?" I'm here to do something, and I have to report to you? It's you, this is the Qinglou, is it against the rules of the hospital for you to appear here as a gentleman? Yo! There are two of your proud protΓ©gΓ©s, what's the matter, the eldest grandson of Vietnam Palace Jinqi, you two don't say hello when you see me, your heart is empty? ”

Su Yan thought it was funny, it was obvious that she was caught by herself, why was she full of confidence? It's cheeky, it's really hard to achieve.

"I'm sorry, we're here to drink, just drink! It's you, these two male prostitutes just entered..."Before Jin Qi's words were finished, Changsun Xi stepped forward and slapped her, Jin Qi glared at her angrily, if it wasn't for Su Yan to stop her, I was afraid that she would rush up to fight it!

"Eldest Sun Xi!" Su Yan warned: "I was also your husband, so I kindly persuaded you a few more words." The three of us have seen today's events, if you dare to do evil again, don't blame us for being ruthless, so that you can do it yourself! With that, he pulled the brocade and walked back. The eldest grandson was so frightened that he almost cried when he dragged Su Yan, "She won't have any tricks waiting for us, right?" Or let's apologize for a gift, it's better to settle this kind of thing, let's not mess with her, it's not going to end well! ”

Su Yan dragged two oil bottles and said to them as he walked: "Joke, I, Su Yan, am the master of the same hall, how can I be afraid of her?" Don't scare yourself, if she dares to deal with you, I'll have to treat her differently! ”

Jin Qi glanced at Changsun Yue with disgust, and echoed: "That is, Changsun Xi has been taught a lesson by General Yan, if he dares to deal with you and Mr., he will not be killed!" I don't think she's like a person who doesn't want to die, most of the time she's bluffing you. ”

The eldest grandson Yue was still worried, sighed, and could only leave with them.

Changsun Xi looked at them and stomped his feet fiercely, biting his lip, his eyes full of viciousness. hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Miss Eldest Sun, they don't know the height of the sky, don't be surprised if you raise your noble hand!" ”

"My eldest grandson, why bother with these sluts, you give me the best wine, I can't spare you if I delay!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" With that, the immediately turned downstairs and instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and food. Turning around and leaving Yunlai Pavilion again, he called a few fresh faces, bowed his head and gave a few words, and those people left here.
