Chapter Ninety-Two: Undesirable
When Zhao Xiaoyong and the others started chatting, Wang Wanting in the west courtyard was working as a supervisor and instructed the junior in Fan Lou to hang up the lanterns in the last column. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Today's gathering is won or lost by literature. There are a lot of lantern riddles in the courtyard, and whoever guesses the most will win. There are many other projects besides that. For example, poetry, music, paintings. In short, what tastefully comes.
This party was initiated by Shi Lingxuan, as the current ranking of Qiufeng Fang, and a group activity is organized every year to increase everyone's cohesion and interest. Shi Lingxuan chose the day of the Yuan Xi Festival, and the West Courtyard was also chartered a month ago.
When Xiao Er hung up the lanterns in the last column, Wang Wanting's maid Xing'er gave Xiao Er five coins of silver. When Xiao Er took the money, he secretly glanced at Wang Wanting again, and then left.
Wang Wanting looked at the lanterns in front of her. At this time, the housekeeper at the door ran in. said to Wang Wanting: "Miss, the person you want me to pay attention to has already come, send me a poem first, and ask Miss to identify." After finishing speaking, his hands presented the words written by Jiao Fang.
Wang Wanting raised her eyebrows and said with interest: "I'm here so soon, I want to see what he can write?" Speaking of this, her face turned red, as if she thought of Cao Peng's flower and moon appreciation back then.
I opened the words and read them carefully. Wang Wanting frowned and said to the family: "How many people are there outside the door? This is not written by Cao Peng, right?"
"Miss Hui, there are seven people outside the door, and there is a person dressed in housekeeping clothes behind him. As for whether it was written by Young Master Cao, the villain doesn't know. It was written by a thin, handsome man with a fan in his hand. Jia Ding thought for a moment and replied.
"Seven! That's a lot, and it looks like he's got all his friends in call. Well, then this poem should be written by Jiao Fang. Wang Wanting whispered. She is very familiar with Cao Peng's circle of friends, and she knew that it was written by Jiao Fang as soon as she heard it.
After waiting for a while, Wang Wanting did not speak. "Miss, do you want to let them in?" they are still waiting outside. ”
When Wang Wanting heard this, she frowned, seven people were a bit too much. Then Wang Wanting smiled and said to the family: "You just say this to them." Let's just say that this poem is good, but it doesn't fit Miss Ben's mind. Reluctantly let each of them pay five hundred taels, and then they can come in. ”
The family first shook for a moment, then nodded, and went out.
Wang Wanting saw that the housekeeper had already walked out of the courtyard gate, laughed, and said secretly: "You have called so many people, you have to let you have some blood." Xing'er looked at Wang Wanting and laughed inexplicably, still a little puzzled in her heart.
At this time, Wang Wanting said to Xing'er: "Let's go, let's go find Sister Shi." ”
"Ahh
"It's not Cao Peng yet, he is looking for too many people. Two or three are okay, this one is six, I have to say to Sister Shi. And this money has to be given to Sister Shi. Wang Wanting replied, and then took Xing'er to the building to find Shi Lingxuan.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoyong and the others asked the family in detail about today's banquet and the rules. Knowing that today's banquet was initiated by Shi Lingxuan, Zhao Xiaoyong and Jiao Fang's eyes lit up suddenly. But the two of them have different objects in mind.
When the others heard this, they thought that there were a lot of daughters of the Autumn Wind Workshop, and they discussed it again and they could meet the ladies of that family when they went in for a while. They believed in Jiao Fang's strength very much, and when the family came back to report the news, the group could enter.
After Jiading came back, Cao Peng said to Jiading proudly: "How is it? Wang Wanting was frightened by our words, I said that she was useless." Cao Peng said as he walked inside.
"I'm sorry, that's not what our young lady said. Jia Ding stopped Cao Peng first. Looking at Cao Peng's surprised gaze, he repeated Wang Wanting's reason again.
After finishing speaking, before Cao Peng had time to say anything, Jiao Fang was anxious and said loudly: "I'll go, money is a trivial matter." But what is called not in harmony with her heart. Good is good, bad is bad. What does she mean by that?" and then looked left and right, looking a little angry at Jiao Fang.
Yang Sirui laughed when he saw this and patted Jiao Fang's shoulder. said: "You can't see that Wang Wanting is deliberately making things difficult for someone." Which of us has that qualification?"
When Jiao Fang heard this, he looked at Cao Peng again, and his face eased. But he still said to Cao Peng: "What do you mean by not agreeing with her? Can you explain it, my brother." ”
"Uh, this. He's deliberately making things difficult for you, it's none of my business. When Cao Peng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to clear up the matter.
When several of them were fighting, Zhao Xiaoyong took out four thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to the family. smiled: "This is four thousand taels, eight of us." You see, no problem we're going in. ”
When Zhao Si heard this, Zhao Xiaoyong also gave out his money, and he was secretly moved in his heart.
Zhao Xiaoyong turned to them and said, "Okay, if you have a problem, you will go to Wang Wanting later." Let's go in first, I'm tired of standing. After finishing speaking, he took Zhao Si and went in first.
"Hmph, you will go to Wang Wanting in a while and ask, what is not in line with her mind. I'm a good man who doesn't fight with a woman, let her go. After Jiao Fang heard Zhao Xiaoyong's words, she said to Cao Peng dissatisfied. Then he didn't give Cao Peng a chance to fight back, and followed Zhao Xiaoyong into the room. Cao Peng pointed at Jiao Fang, looked at others again, made an innocent gesture, and went in.
Zhao Xiaoyong went in and took a look, good guy. The yard is full of lanterns, and there are about a hundred of them. There is also a note under each lamp, which should be a lantern riddle. There are also a lot of chairs, with the gurgling water in the yard, which is very festive.
On the first floor, there is a large round table with a lot of snacks and lantern festivals. On the balcony on the second floor, there are also some drawing boards for people to paint there. There are already a lot of people inside, some of them are standing under the lanterns in twos and threes, guessing the lantern riddles. Some chatted on the ground floor. After Zhao Xiaoyong entered, he didn't know what to do.
At this time, several people from behind walked in. Cao Peng looked at the lantern on his head and said happily: "It's not bad." It's a lot more lively than a few of us together. ”
"Well, as long as there is you, the scene shouldn't be too deserted. Zhou Huaguo whispered to Cao Peng.
"Alright, I don't care about you. I'm going to find a beautiful girl, stay away from you bachelors, don't come to me. After Cao Peng finished speaking, he got into the crowd in front of him.
Then, Fang Shuyu looked at the beauties and delicacies in the hall with bright eyes, and licked the corners of his mouth. Excitedly said to Zhao Xiaoyong: "Brother, I also acted." Then, he also followed Cao Peng's figure and rushed forward.
The few people who followed behind, except for Jiao Fang, looked at each other and ran up. Jiao Fang shook his fan and glanced at them disdainfully. said: "I'm here to guess a few more lantern riddles, and I've got the first name." Then he glanced at Zhao Xiaoyong again, coughed lightly, and said, "Second place." ”
Zhao Xiaoyong heard Jiao Fang say this, lowered his head and smiled. And then he said, "It's okay, I don't play this." If you want to take the first place, just take it, don't give anyone a chance. ”
When Jiao Fang heard this, she didn't ask Zhao Xiaoyong why carefully. I'm afraid that this is a trap, and if I don't give Zhao Xiaoyong a chance to speak again, I just ran away, anyway, as soon as Zhao Xiaoyong said this, Jiao Fang believed it.
Zhao Xiaoyong saw that Jiao Fangfei also ran away and smiled. He said something and wandered around the yard.
In the private room on the second floor, Shi Lingxuan said with some surprise: "Cao Peng brought six or seven people with him?" At this time, Shi Lingxuan did not wear a veil, and her delicate face was exposed in front of Wang Wanting's eyes.
After Wang Wanting heard this, she first admired Shi Lingxuan's appearance in her heart, and then pretended to be distressed: "Yes, Cao Peng brought a few people with him." If it's a big problem, I'll let them go back. Really, I was in big trouble before I even entered the door. ”
"It's okay to have a lot of people, it's more lively. People who intersect with Cao Peng should not be bad in literature. Shi Lingxuan thought for a while. Suddenly, Shi Lingxuan's mind flashed Zhao Xiaoyong's figure. The scene where Zhao Xiaoyong was embarrassed to be trustworthy for Shi at the Qianying banquet that day left a deep impression on Shi Lingxuan.
"I knew that Sister Shi was the best. But I can't let them come in for nothing, I asked them to pay five hundred taels of silver each to come in, and I guess they will have a lot of bleeding. Wang Wanting cheered, then covered her mouth and smiled.
Hearing Wang Wanting say this, Shi Lingxuan came back to her senses and frowned and said, "How can you still ask for their money, return it, our banquet is voluntarily paid." ”
"Sister, don't do this, I heard that Cao Peng's cousin Zhao Xiaoyong has been rich recently, so let him contribute some money to fund it. I can't let my sister pay all the money alone. Wang Wanting then stopped.
"It's, okay. Shi Lingxuan hesitated. Then he thought: "Then it's better for me not to show up?" No, Zhao Xiaoyong hasn't seen me, what am I afraid of. Just in time I can see if he's the thief. Shall I wear a veil?"
At this time, Wang Wanting patted Shi Lingxuan's hand with a smile and said, "I know that sister, you are the best, then I will go down first." Then, without listening to Shi Lingxuan's words, he ran downstairs.
