Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 180 Unexpected News

If it was said that Empress Yang's decree after the early court aroused panic among the old antiques, the two consecutive explanations issued in the afternoon made those old antiques firm up their minds, and even went to Longyang Palace to ask the Supreme Emperor to make decisions.

Just after noon, Empress Yang ordered someone to write the imperial list, clearly explaining the purpose and significance of the martial arts tournament held in the palace.I don't know who made this statement. The words are concise and are all in vernacular, even ordinary people who have not read books can understand them.

An hour later, the second emperor's list was posted again, announcing that this martial arts competition would no longer follow the emperor's opinion alone, but invited experts who had experienced battles to counter the rebellion, namely: the world-renowned Zen Master Huijing, Yang Ziqian, the prince and the governor of the Chinese army, and Shangguanbo, the minister of the Ministry of war.

All the people in Shangjing were talking about this martial arts competition all day long. Although they could not enter the palace to watch the martial arts competition, some of them dared to ask the soldier who posted the list whether the result would be announced.After getting an affirmative answer, the entire capital city was boiling.

Those martial arts candidates who were timid and did not sign up all sighed, wishing that time could be turned back, or that the royal family would extend the time limit for registration.But this is obviously unlikely, because the list of twenty teenagers participating in the competition at dinner time was announced again by posting the imperial list.

The first place is Qi Tianyou, the third prince of the Holy Majesty; the second place is not the expected champion Hou Lin Haorui, but Qi Tianrui, the second son of Prince Wen; the third place is even more surprising , is actually the only son of Princess Yunting, Chechen, the future leader of Jianzhou Jurchen; the fourth is the champion Hou Lin Haorui; the fifth is Yang Chengping, a young general of the Yang family... other popular candidates such as this martial arts, Sun Xuewu, Kong Hai and others, and the most surprising thing is that An Xiuyuan, the new champion of this year, is also on the list.

At this time, Daiyu was also studying the list with Lin Haorui in the study, which was copied by Yuan Qing.Even the words on the imperial list were copied back verbatim.Although Daiyu had many questions, she still pointed to a name on the list strangely, and said in surprise, "This...is Mr. Aojian?"

Lin Haorui nodded: "If I'm guessing right, Ao Jian should hurry back to Shangjing in the evening. This time he was able to compete in martial arts, all thanks to Tianyou's penetrating tongue. The Aojian family wanted to make amends, but it was not easy for the Supreme Emperor to nod, so they continued to use Aojian's name."

Daiyu suddenly realized that it must be that Emperor Hong Zhen planned to let Ao Jian show off his skills this time, so that he would have an explanation when he persuaded the Supreme Emperor in the future.Daiyu continued to look at the list.Continue to ask: "Is the second brother Lian's injury healed? His name is still on this list!"

Lin Haorui sighed: "I'm afraid this is the meaning of the concubine Xiande. The second brother Lian has successfully moved out of the Rongguo Mansion, so I don't want to go against the old lady's wishes in these matters. However, since the emperor wants to test group combat, Na Lian's second elder brother is in demand. Even if his martial arts skills are slightly inferior, he is familiar with the art of war, and senior brother Zheng Jin's perennial combat experience is indispensable."

"I don't know if Sister Feng and the others got the news?" Daiyu put down the list: "Tomorrow we will draw lots and divide into groups. Brother Blessing should be divided with Brother Lian and Brother Tianyou!" Lin Haorui looked at Daiyu strangely: "What? Don't trust your brother and me?"

Daiyu immediately raised her eyebrows, and her voice became louder: "Of course not, isn't it because you two have a better understanding? Besides, Sun Xuewu once had a feud with us, who knows if he will play tricks halfway through?" ah!"

"It's so easy to make trouble, stop thinking about it!" Lin Haorui smiled dotingly: "Okay, don't worry about this list. Tell me first, why did Miss Bao come here today? Let me see her When he left, he seemed hesitant to talk, are you unhappy?"

Daiyu heard Lin Haorui ask about this matter.I couldn't help being slightly silent, and said evasively: "How do I know why she came?" Lin Haorui slapped Daiyu's head fiercely: "Don't be careless, it would be strange if you didn't know, my sister is so smart, if there is another Even a few Xue Baochai can't hide it!"

"It hurts!" Daiyu said coquettishly.But hearing Lin Haorui praise her so much, she is still psychologically beautiful.I don't know when.All the maids in the room retreated, leaving the two brothers and sisters alone to talk. Daiyu's expression also relaxed a lot, and the look on her face became much more lively.

"Come on, what's the matter, I can also give you a staff advisor!" Lin Haorui smiled and patted Daiyu on the head: "Forget it, let me guess. Does Miss Bao want to enter the palace with my sister?" Go to the palace to watch the ceremony?"

Daiyu clapped her hands: "Brother is really smart, he guessed right!" Lin Haorui scratched Daiyu's nose: "Don't be naughty, but anyone with eyes can see it. Why? You don't want to take her there ?"

Daiyu sighed heavily: "It's not that I don't want to take it, but I just feel that she seems to have some purpose, and it's a bit unreliable."

Lin Haorui snickered at the side: "Then what is the purpose of Miss Bao? Everyone knows about Sima Zhaozhi's heart. I don't believe my sister didn't see it. Take it with you. If my sister thinks it's troublesome, let Sister Feng bring it in. I Seeing that Miss Bao's mother is a little cunning and her brother is not up to snuff, but she is still a good girl, and it is not too much for Tianyou to be a concubine or something!"

Listening to Lin Haorui's words, Daiyu stared wider and wider, and finally couldn't help asking in surprise: "Brother, do you know that Brother Tianyou is like you? Although I guess that Sister Bao seems to like Brother Tianyou a little bit, but such a thing, she alone How can a girl's family decide for herself, besides, Aunt Xue has already planned her future, otherwise she wouldn't have lived in Rongguo Mansion forever and wouldn't have left!"

Lin Haorui tapped on the table lightly, his face was slightly quiet, as if he was thinking about something.And Daiyu was also thinking about Baochai, but she didn't notice it.After a while Lin Haorui said: "If Miss Bao is really worthy of Tianyou, what does my sister think?"

Daiyu blurted out: "That's naturally congratulations. Although you can't marry Brother Tianyou as the main wife, it's a fulfillment of your long-cherished wish." Seeing that Daiyu was very sure, Lin Haorui couldn't help asking: "You don't want to marry me?" Do you think it would be weird for two people to come together?"

"Why is it so strange?" Daiyu opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Haorui puzzled: "Although, I can't tell who Brother Tianyou likes at all, but Sister Bao is excellent in everything. If not Because of the identity of the merchant's daughter, many people must have come to propose marriage."

As soon as the words fell, Daiyu suddenly thought of something, and could not help but narrow her eyes slightly, with a sly expression on her face: "However, why did my brother bring this up? Could it be because you miss Sister Teng so much, so you also want to hurry up?" Will you solve the lifelong event for Brother Tianyou?"

Lin Haorui raised his hand, as if he was about to hit Daiyu: "You naughty girl, you actually made fun of me!" Daiyu ran to the door with a smile: "Brother, go to sleep, remember to dream about Sister Teng Oh!" As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and left Lin Haorui's study quickly.

Zijuan, Qingwen and others are chatting with Chuxia and Zhixia.Seeing Daiyu come out with a smile, she said with a smile, "What's the matter, girl?" Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just my brother's interesting experience. Chu Xia, you help me supervise my brother today, Let him go to rest early!" Chu Xia saluted and replied: "Understood, girl, don't worry!"

Only then did Zijuan and Qingwen light up a glazed lantern, and walked slowly along the path by Hemerocallis Lake to Yanyu Pavilion.Suddenly, Daiyu took off a phoenix hairpin from her head, and handed it to Qingwen: "When you send this phoenix hairpin to Sister Bao tomorrow, you must remember to hand it to her by hand. Just say I want you to tell him , This is what my mother left me when I was five years old!"

Qingwen looked at Daiyu with some puzzlement. Others may not know the origin of the gold hairpin, but she knows the person who manages the jewelry every day.This nobile was chosen in a jewelry store a few days ago.Because Daiyu liked the shape of the phoenix very much, so she stayed!

"Girl, this..." Qingwen really didn't realize how she acted, but Daiyu still said in a good mood: "Just repeat what I said, sister Bao will understand." Qingwen nodded affirmatively : "Yes, girl, don't worry. Qingwen must act carefully!"

Daiyu nodded with a smile: "You don't have to be in a hurry to come back, we are getting married, and I haven't officially informed your little sisters, if anyone is thinking about it, just go and have a look."

Qingwen beamed and said, "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness!"

On the second day, Qingwen brought a nanny and a little girl into the Grand View Garden. The whole garden was built magnificently, which was completely different from the warmth and comfort of the Herb Garden.Qingwen turned around and felt tired, so she went to Hengwu Courtyard where Xue Baochai lived.

Suddenly, her eyes blurred, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, which startled Qingwen.After she calmed down, she saw that Baoyu was standing in front of her.Baoyu grabbed Qingwen's wrist nervously, and asked repeatedly: "I heard that you are going to get married? Why? Wouldn't it be good to live with Sister Lin? Why do you want to get married? Those who are married A human woman either becomes vulgar or looks haggard. Qingwen, you can't get married..."

Seeing that Baoyu's words became more and more shameless, Qingwen threw him away desperately: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You are so vulgar and haggard. I think you are tight-lipped. Be careful, I will go to the master to complain!"

But Baoyu said foolishly: "Look, it turns out that this person turned into a fish-eye ball as soon as he got married, and he can't see it anymore. Let's go, let's go! It's better if you all go, and I'd better be left alone." , you don’t need to worry about anyone!” After speaking, he walked away in a daze.

Qingwen looked at Baoyu's background in surprise, for some reason she always felt that Baoyu was very strange.She couldn't help asking the little girl who led the way, but the little girl said something important: "Miss Qingwen, doesn't she know? It turns out that sister Jin Chuaner, who was next to Master Bao, was carried away by the master to be his concubine." Already! Since then, Second Master Bao has been a little delirious!"
