Humanity is a nuisance, verse 49
After three rounds of drinking, the banquet was very lively.
Musicians and songs add to the fun, each seat pushes the cup and changes the lamp, and the greetings and compliments continue. Wei Ji received many people's congratulations and responded one by one with a smile. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Xie Xuan on the opposite side raising his wine glass to her.
Wei Ji hesitated for a moment, and also raised it.
Just now, Sima Pi asked Xie Xuan first, obviously intending to let Xie Xuan come out to suppress Yu Xian, but Xie Xuan tactfully pushed Wei out. Wei Ji didn't know if his original intention was unwilling to confront the Yu family, or whether he intended to give the Wei family a chance. You must know that the Wei family has been silent for many years, and Mrs. Wei has also passed away, and no descendants have come forward, almost forgotten by the world.
Wei Ji didn't care what he meant, but the final result was in her favor, so she raised her glass and smiled in return.
Xie Xuan looked at it but was stunned.
Everyone was drinking, Yu Xian suddenly got up, his cheeks were red, "General Wei, what's the fun of just watching singing and dancing, I heard that the general has made miraculous achievements, and his martial arts must be amazing, and he admires heroes the most, I don't know if I can see the general's skills today."

Chapter 64: Autumn Waves
Wei Ji looked at Yu Xian in surprise, thinking that this person was drunk and took the initiative to ask Wei Zhao for advice, in her opinion, there was no suspense compared to just now. Yu Xianwen Taowu is a bit talented, but when it comes to majesty, he is far from Wei Zhao.
All the people in the temple were of the same opinion.
Even Yu Sanqi didn't expect his nephew to suddenly open his mouth to ask for advice, and whispered something, as if he didn't agree.
Yu Xian's eyes were blazing, and he only looked at Wei Zhao. He had a few glasses of wine, but his mind was exceptionally clear. He deliberately observed just now that there were many people who went to toast Wei Zhao, and it was only a little less than the new assassin Shi Huanchong, and Wei Zhao drank much more than him. This is one of them, secondly, Yu Xian's idea is not to test his fists and feet, the scene of fists and feet in front of the hall is too rough, not in line with the aesthetics of the scholars, the most suitable for the bow and arrow, he is very confident in his archery kung fu, but he does not have to overpower Wei Zhao, as long as he can get a draw, he can wash away the shame of losing to a Xiao Langjun just now, so that people know that he is both civil and military, and the calligraphy is slightly lacking.
Wei Zhao squinted, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and looked towards Sima Pi's position, "What does Your Highness think?"
Sima Pi stroked his palms and said: "It's very boring to just watch singing and dancing, since Yu Langjun has this idea, General Wei will show his skills today to fulfill him." ”
Since the host of the banquet agreed, Wei Zhao nodded with a smile and asked Yu Xiandao: "What do you want to compare?"
Yu Xian had already thought clearly, but he pretended to groan and said, "The fists and feet at the banquet are indecent, just bow and arrow." ”
The chamberlain received Sima Pi's signal and immediately asked people to go out to prepare.
In a short time there were servants outside the temple, and they were all ready.
The utensils in the palace were very complete, even the weapons in the army were also readily available, and just now the servants went to the treasury to carry the bows and arrows.
Sima Pi gave an order, and everyone in the hall walked out in an uproar. Naturally, the place should be wide compared to the bow and arrow, and it is suitable for the square outside.
The uncle and nephew of the Yu family also went out with everyone. Wei Zhao was the last one in the hall to get up. Wei Ji saw that his figure was still swaying slightly when he stood up, and reached out to help him worriedly, "Second brother, you are drunk"
Wei Zhao rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "It's okay." Looking down at her hand, he was a little distracted.
Someone outside the hall looked back to look at the situation, Wei Zhao took a long breath of wine, and strode out.
There are two rows of candles on both sides of the square than when I first came, and the surrounding area is bright, but the square is too wide, and the sky is dark as if thick ink, although there are lights everywhere, but they are scattered, in fact, they are far away, and it is still a little difficult to see.
Yu Xian was already standing on the bow frame with a longbow to test the string, "General Wei, how about using that red flower as a target?"
Wei Zhao was noncommittal, and also came to the rack, picked up one of the bows, pulled the string and tried it, and changed it again.
Yu Xian came out first, had already chosen a bow, and grabbed three arrows from the quiver on one side, "The general chooses slowly, I'll be ugly first." ”
Everyone in the hall stood on the steps, including Sima Pi and Huan Chong.
Yu Xian stood in the middle of the steps, holding the bow and breaking the string, aiming at the red silk flowers on the wooden frame, his expression was solemn, and his body exuded a fighting spirit.
Soon the first arrow, the second arrow, and the third arrow were shot out like a cannon, and the interval was almost the same. He put down his bow after shooting three arrows, trotted to see the wooden frame, and came back to report: "The three arrows are in the center of the red flower." ”
Sima Pi nodded noncommittally.
Wei Zhao also took the bow and went to the place where Yu Xian was standing just now. Everyone saw that he was a little drunk, and couldn't help but be a little worried, just afraid that he was really defeated in a drunken state. At present, Yu Xian's three arrows are in the center of the safflower, even if it is tied, it is still Yu Xian who has the advantage. Wei Zhao is already a general of Jianwu, and Yu Xian has not yet entered the ranks, compared with the two, of course, he is a more high-ranking and low-ranking person.
Wei Zhao raised his bow, and his original casual attitude immediately changed, he raised his eyes and looked straight ahead, his eyes were like electricity.
Just at the moment of aiming, the finger is released.
There was a slight chord sound, and the arrow flew out.
The saffron on the wooden frame fell to the ground with a sound.
Everyone couldn't see where Yu Xian's sword shot on the red flower just now, but now they could see clearly where the red flower fell to the ground.
A group of people immediately understood that Wei Zhao had broken the tether and applauded. The cheers were much louder than Yu Xian's three arrows just now.
After a while, the servant ran back and said, "General Wei shot the rope. As he spoke, he brought up the broken rope to the people.
The rope was as slender as a woman's little finger.
Yu saw it, and the reddish wine on his face faded in an instant.
Many of the young scholars looked at him with a smile and a lot of discussions, and even the girls gathered together to talk.
Yu Sanqi's eyes were full of coldness, "Even if you hit the heart of the flower and the string, it can be regarded as a tie." ”
Sima Pi said: "Yu Jun was born as a scholar, so naturally I don't know how difficult the two are. ”
Yu Sanqi felt that he had lost face tonight, and he was unwilling to back down, and said: "Archery is used to defend against the enemy, and you can take the enemy by shooting, both of which are in the middle, and there is little difference between them on the battlefield." ”
Sima Pi frowned.
Huan Chong suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, Yu Langjun and General Wei are not a school competition, according to the minister, this game can be regarded as a win-or-loser." ”
Huan Chong didn't talk much at today's banquet, at the age of about thirty, he was old and serious, and he had a calm bearing. As soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, Sima Pi couldn't refute his meaning.
Yu Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that tonight's face was in danger of being saved, and Yu Xian and Yu Xian did not make any waves.
After this round of arrows, the singing and dancing after the banquet became boring.
Everyone drank too much, Sima Pi got up and left, and after a while, an attendant came to Wei Zhao Wei's table and said in a low voice: "Your Highness invites General Wei to the back hall." ”
Wei Zhao stood up and left with the attendant.
Wei Ji looked at his back, a little pensive, today Sima Pi showed the meaning of wooing, Wei Zhao's attitude was also very clear, and he directly stepped on the face of the Yu family. She was thinking about it, when she suddenly felt as if there was a gaze staring at her, and immediately looked up and met the eyes of Huan Xin next to her.
Huan Xin drank a little too much, his mind fluttered, he looked around, and suddenly found that Wei Zhao was gone, originally he was sitting and blocked Wei Xin, at this time Huan Xin's eyes fell on Wei Ji without hindrance. I haven't seen him for a while, and this little Langjun seems to be better-looking. The summer dress is light, outlining her thin figure. The alcohol in Huan Xin's body was a little hot, and his eyes couldn't help but linger on her.
His gaze was too straightforward, Wei Ji frowned, and then glared at him.
Huan Xin was drunk, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself when he was stared at, and he leaned forward, as if he wanted to look at her closer.
Huan Chong suddenly said, "Uncle Dao." ”
His voice was low, but he told Huan Xin to wake up immediately.
Huan Chong said in a low voice: "Don't do all the ridiculous things you did again, these are your father's original words." ”
Huan Xin sighed in his heart, lowered his eyelids, and sat in place with the smell of wine. These days, he lives the same as in the past, socializing and having a lot of fun, and the maidservants in the family are interested in being close and laughing, and he does not refuse anything, but there is always a faint shadow in his heart. When he saw Wei Ji today, he suddenly understood what that shadow was.
Wei Ji saw that Huan Xin no longer looked over, thinking that his eyes had shocked him, and wondered if Huan Xin was really a broken sleeve
"Yudu."
Deng Jia walked to the table and called her.
Wei Ji raised his head and saw that he didn't have wine in his hand, not to persuade him to drink, and asked him what was the matter.
Deng Jia's face was a little embarrassed, "You go out with me." ”
Wei Ji was curious: "Where to go"
Deng Jia said: "Come on, it's a good thing to be outside." ”
Wei Ji still trusted these little Langjun who Yu Zhang befriended, and immediately got up and went out with him.
The two of them walked out of the main hall, Deng Jia led her around the corridor and came to a secluded place around the corner, coughed heavily, and said, "I have already brought the people." ”
A layer of skirts appeared in the corner, and a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old came out with her maidservant and saluted Wei Jiao.
Wei Ji's eyelids jumped, and when she saw that there was something she didn't understand in this scene, she looked at Deng Jia.
Deng Jia said: "This is my cousin, the sixth in the family, called Qi Jin." ”
Wei Ji didn't expect that she could encounter this kind of thing when she was only fourteen years old, seeing that this girl was a little familiar, she thought about it, and remembered that it was Luo Huan who said before the banquet that she was a girl who likes poetry.
Deng Qijin took a closer look at Wei Ji and found that it was better than just across the hall, flawless, like a jade man. Especially since this kind of skin is not powdered, she is more and more satisfied.
"Wei Xiaolangjun salutes," Deng Qijin said, "I was very happy when I saw Lang Jun's words just now, so I asked my brother to invite Lang Jun out, I hope Lang Jun will not be blamed." ”
Wei Ji smiled and said no, no wonder.
Deng Qijin said: "I have a pair of fans, and I have the heart to mention the words, but I can't find the font I like, I don't know if I can ask Lang Jun Mobao"
This time, I begged Mobao, and after I wrote it, I returned a sachet, so that there was a relationship between the two and the second, which was a means for the nobles of the scholar clan to get close, and Wei Ji knew it very well in her heart. But in this situation, you must not refuse, otherwise you will wipe the other party's face, and Deng Jia next to him has been squeezing his eyebrows and signaling him to hurry up.
Wei Ji stubbornly said: "It's an honor for Cong to have a girl invited." ”
Deng Qijin immediately showed a bright smile and said, "In a few days, I will have someone give the fan to Lang Jun." After speaking, he bowed slightly, and then left with the maidservant.
When the fragrant wind was gone, Wei Ji immediately turned her head to Deng Jia and said, "Why didn't you remind me earlier" If you knew earlier, she wouldn't be able to shirk it.
Deng Jia said: "You are in the limelight today, is it normal for a girl to be intentional"
Generally, Lang Jun would never refuse when he encountered this kind of thing, Wei Ji smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to say, "I'm still young." ”
Deng Jia patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not that I praise, compared to the fierce girl of the Xiong family, my sixth sister is much gentler." You can be regarded as a talented man...... Ah, no, a talented woman. ”
Wei Ji: "......"

Chapter 65: Half-drunk
Wei Ji and Deng Jia returned to the palace, and on the way, Deng Jia kept talking about the benefits of his girl, and Wei Jia's brain was swollen when she listened, but her face was still full of interest.
Back at the table, Wei Zhao still hadn't come back, Wei Ji swept around, and the guests were talking and laughing back and forth, still very lively. The ladies sat on the right hand side of the entrance of the hall, and Deng Qijin also sat back, staring at him with delicate eyes, and his pretty face was slightly red and smiled.
