Chapter 73 Talent Competition
Daiyu didn't expect Xinyue to be so straightforward, so she couldn't help but raise her head under embarrassment, and saw the girl in front of her looking up at her arrogantly, with stars shining in her lacquered eyes, stubborn and persistent.
Daiyu smiled slightly, and said quietly: "Emotions are irreplaceable, so I will not shrink back."
Xinyue pursed her lips and thought for a while, her eyes flickered, and said: "Well, I don't like procrastination, let's cut the mess quickly, and we will compete in Yiyuan tomorrow. People are going to quit."
Daiyu blinked her eyes, stared at Xinyue for a long time, suddenly wanted to understand something, smiled lightly, her bright eyes were like water waves, and a clear and soft smile appeared, adding a trace of beauty, and if you look closely, you can find a trace of naughtiness and relief.She opened her mouth lightly and said, "Okay."
Shui Rong felt like falling down when he heard it outside, what is going on, he has become the bet of the two little girls, and a sense of depression rose out of nowhere in his heart, with indescribable grievances.Seeing Daiyu come out, she hurriedly followed and complained, "Dai'er, what are you two doing?"
Daiyu smiled, charmingly mischievous, and said: "Brother Rong doesn't believe that I will win?"
Shui Rong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Dai'er is the best."
Daiyu saw that there was a trace of depression in his eyebrows, she couldn't bear to joke anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know what Brother Rong means, tomorrow is just a passing scene, maybe we will become very good sisters."
Shui Rong was confused when he heard it, and said helplessly, "I don't understand your little girl's mind, heh heh, I won't let go of your hand anyway."
Daiyu opened her mouth and smiled, her cheeks were dizzy with embarrassment, she said angrily, "Hmph, if it wasn't for brother Rong who was the source of trouble, why would I bother with all this effort?"
Shui Rong chuckled, scratched Daiyu's pretty nose and said, "It's my fault."
Daiyu muttered, "Of course it's your fault."
Back to the Lianyun Pavilion where Daiyu lived, Shui Rong Yin Yin told her for a long time before Lian Lian went out.Chunxian hurriedly sent it out.
Xueyan hurriedly asked: "Girl, tomorrow you and Xinyue County will compete in skills?" Daiyu was stunned: "How do you know?" Xueyan smiled and said: "There are so many girls in this house, how can I not know. But but No one said the reason, only that Xinyue envied the girl's talent. Good girl, why on earth?"
Yuehua also hurriedly approached, Daiyu secretly said that the North Prince's Mansion is indeed strict, and the real reason for this will damage the reputation of the two of them.She smiled slightly: "It's just children who are eager to win, what can there be?" Xueyan smiled and said: "I know it if you don't tell me. Humph, that prince is really a disaster, and the Xue family girl is also thinking about it, I It seems that even Tanchun is a little tempted, just more reserved." Daiyu smiled, she was confident that her water-soluble character would not be dazzled by all the flowers, but there were too many flowers and there were too many disturbances, so we should solve it Good job.
Xueyan smiled and said: "I took a few glances at Princess Xinyue, and I feel that her temper is a bit like Smith's." Hong Yan shook her head and said: "Sister Xueyan is still young, so she is still not so accurate in judging people. Although two Human natures are a bit similar, but Miss Yun can't even compare to Xinyue's hair, no wonder she never seriously annoyed her." Xueyan was stunned, seeing Daiyu smiling softly when she heard the words, she couldn't help resting her chin and meditating .
The next day, there was a gentle breeze in the Yiyuan Garden, with green willows and a few sweet-scented osmanthus dotted among the green shades, like stars.The Qingyin Pavilion was tidy and elegant, and lily incense was burning in the censer on the table, with light smoke curling up.The carved windows are wide open, and the plain tulle is sitting and dancing in the wind, and the clear water is outside, making it even more ethereal.
Concubine Bei Jing yawned boredly while holding a teacup, and leaned closer to Shui Rong's head and whispered, "How long have you two left? It's so boring. It's all because of your romantic debt caused by you brat."
Shui Rong said with a bitter face: "Why do everyone say it's my fault. This chess game is the most difficult, and the two of them are evenly matched, so I'm afraid for a while. If you don't ask the mother concubine to come, you must come. You will feel disgusted if you come. boring."
The concubine tapped Shui Rong's head and smiled, "That piano is so nice, but this chess is not fun, it's too murderous, like an old ox pulling a cart. But the second girl of the Jia family is watching it very engrossed." Shui Rong looked up at Sanchun and Baochai who had heard the news, and sighed in his heart, Ying and Xi are okay, but Baochai hasn't lost his mind; With everyone's dignity, it's fine to just ignore it.
After an unknown amount of time, Xinyue suddenly pushed the chessboard, knocked on the pieces and said angrily, "I lost."
Daiyu smiled faintly, "Sister Xinyue has accepted."
Xinyue smiled wryly and said, "Sister Lin, you're welcome, it's because my chess skills are limited." Yingchun said softly, "I never thought that the two younger sisters are so powerful. Princess Xinyue's chess style is aggressive and open, while younger sister Lin is meticulous and meticulous." Miao, they are all rare masters. Yingchun has benefited a lot today." Saying that, she gave a half-respect solemnly, because she has benefited a lot from this game, so she only made a salute.Xinyue and Daiyu hurriedly supported her and said, "Don't dare to be that."
Tanchun smiled and said, "Is it time for the next book?"
Xinyue sighed, raised her eyebrows and said, "I know I'm still going to lose, but I still have to compare. It's not my style to lose without a fight."
Baochai smiled and praised: "I never imagined that the Princess and Sister Lin are so versatile, especially Sister Lin is hiding in the garden. We didn't know how talented my sister is."
Xichun sneered and said, "Sister Lin is not the kind of person who shows off everywhere, even if she has a bit of knowledge, everyone should know it."
Baochai was at a loss for words. Seeing the maids spreading the rice paper, the two of them each took a pen to the table.Shui Rong hurriedly laughed and said, "You two have to write the same, otherwise you won't be able to compare."
Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Xinyue, tell me."
Xinyue said: "I like Su Shi's "Shui Tuo Ge Tou" the most, so I'll write it. I heard Miss Xue said that Miss Tanchun's calligraphy is the best, so let my aunt judge with her."
Tanchun hurriedly smiled and said, "I dare not take it." But in his heart, he really felt that his face was glorious.
Daiyu and the concubine swiped their brushes, and the concubine, the concubine and Tanchun hesitated for a while and laughed: "Only in terms of skills, the two are equally distinguished, the style is smart and elegant, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. It's a draw."
Xinyue smiled, and sighed: "I finally managed to win the round. The next one is painting, so let's ask my aunt to come up with a question."
The concubine smiled and said, "I'm an expert at this. I don't want you to draw anything else, as long as you draw 'heart'."
Both Daiyu and Xinyue were startled, they picked up their pens and pondered for a while, then Xinyue suddenly put down his pen and said, "I lost this round."
Everyone was surprised for a while, Baochai couldn't help but said: "Princess, how could you lose if you haven't painted yet, why does the princess think that sister Lin is definitely stronger than you."
The concubine clapped her hands and said, "Xinyue is really bright and wise. She has become more and more enlightened in the past few years. Yu'er won three out of five rounds. There is no need to compare next time."
Xinyue's face was full of melancholy, and she forced a flower-like smile, and said in an ethereal voice, "I lost." Looking at Shui Rong, there was a trace of pain and sadness in her eyes.
Shui Rong feels a little distressed, he has always held and cared for this little sister in his palm, he never thought that he hurt her the most now, he sighed deeply, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The concubine put her arms around Xinyue and smiled, "Xin'er is not bad either. My aunt didn't expect you to have developed so many abilities in the past few years. It's not uncommon for your elder sister Lin to be stronger than you. Don't be discouraged, Xiner. , today's talent competition is to learn from each other's strengths, winning or losing is not important."
Daiyu also laughed and said, "I've got a lot of money today. If sister Xinyue competes with me in sword dancing, I have no chance of winning. How many people in the world are as good at both civil and military skills as you."
Xichun was surprised and said: "The princess can also martial arts?"
Seeing Xichun's adoring eyes, Xinyue smiled shyly, "It's not dignified for a girl to dance with a sword at home, and it's not something worth boasting about."
Daiyu shook her head and said: "Sister Xinyue's words are wrong. In ancient times, there were Hua Mulan and Lin Siniang, who were all heroines of a generation. They have been praised to this day, so what's wrong with girls practicing martial arts?"
Seeing Xinyue's sleepy look, the concubine sighed slightly in her heart, pulled Xinyue Daiyu and said, "Okay, it's been a long time, you two should take a break, I'm tired after working for a long time, you two Just grinding your teeth."
All the sisters agreed and went down.But Baochai deliberately slowed down her pace and quietly withdrew from the group of sisters, chasing Xinyue to the plum garden.
Shui Rong caught up with Daiyu and said with a smile, "How many surprises does Dai'er have hidden?" His Dai'er has the purest and clearest heart, the kindest and strongest character in the world, and such profound and extensive talents. How many treasures are hidden in his body that he doesn't know.A look of pride and love lingered in Shui Rong's eyes.
Seeing that Shui Rong was staring at her, Daiyu coughed in disguise, and said softly, "Brother Rong should go and comfort Sister Xinyue, she must be very disappointed now. In fact, I know she decided to quit a long time ago, but she just didn't want to be reconciled."
Shui Rong sighed: "I can't help but give her hope when I go, but it's better not to go. When her heart fades, maybe we will continue to be the best brothers and sisters in the world, but now the timing is not right. This silly girl, I have always When she was my younger sister, I didn't know when she started thinking about me."
Daiyu snorted, pouted her mouth and said, "It's not you, it must be your words and deeds that have misunderstood her."
Shui Rong raised the corners of her lips and said, "Ah, could it be that Dai'er is praising me for being suave and suave, and the jade tree is in the wind."
"You..." Daiyu was at a loss for words, wondering when Brother Rong was so glib, she really didn't feel ashamed.Seeing Shui Rong winking, Daiyu couldn't help laughing too, and muttered, "I don't feel ashamed."
Shui Rong smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Dai'er, please don't believe me, I have recognized you since I saw you when I was a child, and I have never thought about anyone else." Daiyu quickly stopped Shui Rong from staring and said: "Brother Rong, How could I not believe you." Although their relationship was not turbulent, it was like a long stream of water. Trust was the foundation of their relationship, and she would not distrust him.
Shui Rong was completely relieved, and changed the subject: "How did Dai'er gain in Jia's mansion?"
Daiyu sighed: "Did the Jia family lose the iron scroll of the alchemy book? I have carefully checked my grandmother's room several times, and there is no place to hide things at all."
Shui Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So important things will be lost? I'm afraid your grandmother has hidden somewhere else. Don't be too sad. I heard that Jia Zhen has been getting close to King Zhongshun recently. I'm afraid there is something wrong with her." It’s a plan, maybe the iron scroll of the alchemy book is useless.”
Daiyu had already frowned, thinking for a while and said: "Could it be that Brother Mo Feizhen wanted to use treason against the Raja Mansion to get involved in revenge for Ke'er. That would be too cruel, and he would also drag himself in."
Shui Rong let out a long sigh, a little confused and admiring, and said: "I'm afraid he doesn't want to live anymore. The patriarch of Jia's mansion has the Dan Shu and iron scrolls, and he knows it all too well. That's why he knows how to drive Jia's mansion into a place of eternal doom. Then Jia Amnesty seems to have been agitated by him, so Rongfu can't escape, alas, I've never seen such an idiot, if he isn't crazy, he can't survive."
Daiyu raised her head quietly, letting the breeze blow across her cheeks, like a soft sigh flowing by her side, lingering with strands of melancholy, she sighed quietly after a long time: "I never thought that he would destroy the family in this way." , So ruthless! Brother Rong, if the dust settles, I don’t know if we can spare Brother Zhen’s life.”
Shui Rong shook his head and sighed softly: "Dai'er knows this is impossible, he is the patriarch and the main culprit. Besides, does Dai'er think it is a good thing for him to be alive?"
Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said sadly: "I made a mistake. He has long since had nothing to love. Death is the only relief."
Seeing that Daiyu was depressed, Shui Rong hurriedly said: "In this way, Dai'er doesn't have to live in their house anymore, let's go home."
Daiyu didn't quite agree: "Let's wait a little longer. Now Jia's mansion is beautiful on the outside, but the inside is not as good as before. What if King Zhongshun looks down on them. There is no danger for me to be there. I am their creditor now." , even the gossip is much less."
Shui Rong was a little displeased, tightened Daiyu's little hand and said, "You said there was no danger, what happened to the poisonous bird's nest?"
Daiyu stuck out her clove tongue and said in a low voice, "Sister Chunxian betrayed me."
Shui Rong couldn't help but raised his hand and flicked Daiyu's forehead, feigning anger and said: "You don't tell me such an important thing, and you blame others, you should hit me." His expression turned serious, his eyes flickered coldly, and said: "The Jia family can't be moved for the time being, but the Xue family can. If they have the courage to plan, they must have the courage to bear the consequences. Your brother has already known about this, and he is very angry. It is better for Xue Baochai to leave these few days, and wait. She will be ready to be an ant on a hot pot when she gets back. Huh, sometimes it may be more suitable for them to live in pain than to put them in prison."
Daiyu rolled her eyes, knowing what Shui Rongji was doing, but she was too lazy to care about it, after all, people have to pay the price for their own actions, she didn't need to question Brother Rong's actions for the sake of outsiders, it would be chilling.
Shui Rong sent Daiyu back to rest, and quietly sent someone to the plum garden. He just saw Baochai following Xinyue, and he was worried that Baochai would come up with some kind of moth. My heart has long been blackened by worldly calculations.He believed in Xinyue's character, but don't be fooled by that careless girl, he had to guard against it.
Xinyue returned to Meiyuan, sat on a chair and looked out at the sunny day and shadow, her heart was infinitely desolate and melancholy, ever since she was eight years old when she first saw Shui Rong, she fell in love with that cold-looking boy, always pestering him , making trouble with him, gradually, he was no longer so indifferent, the parents laughed and said: "It's rare that you little girl can melt him, so you can be her daughter-in-law in the future, so as to save him from being so sullen that the girl doesn't like it. "I believed that I would become his daughter-in-law, but at that time my aunt just smiled and said nothing, so my father said: "Could it be that you don't want to?" My aunt smiled and said: "I can't control that brat." So far, I am the only one who believes the truth, I don't know if it is my aunt's excuse in disguise.
Slowly, I also heard that my cousin has a girl who can make him talk softly, but I didn't care about it. Only when I came yesterday did I realize that I was wrong. I am afraid that the girl has already settled in my cousin's heart. She was so beautiful, so pure, so elegant, it seemed as if they were born to stand side by side.There is nothing about her that I can compare to. It turned out that she had been defeated long ago, and she was still foolishly waiting for the love in her heart. She was not reconciled, so she had today's competition. It was still like a moth to a flame.
Her maid, Feng Jian, felt distressed when she saw her girl weeping and dazed. Her lady was always bright and lively, she had never been in such a mood, and comforted her: "Miss, don't be sad, this competition is nothing, so I will take it seriously." Yes. Tomorrow I will ask the emperor to give me a marriage. The prince is not a girl. Although Miss Lin is good, she is not as good in power and background, so she is not as noble as the girl."
Xinyue wiped her eyes and sighed: "What's the use of that? He doesn't like me, and I don't care for forced feelings. I'm the princess, and so is Miss Lin. You can tell she's really an orphan, and she's still If my cousin likes it, will I have a chance to win?"
Hearing her words, Feng Jian spoke hard, but the tears in his eyes had never been broken. He sighed, "My girl is so good, why doesn't the prince like it? Of course that girl is also good, but so what, she still thinks that her own girl is so good." Girls are better.
"Miss Xue begs to see the princess." Xinyue was startled, thinking of that gentle and peaceful Baochai, she wondered what she was doing here, and hurriedly said, "Please." Wiping her face in a hurry, she resumed her cheerful posture.
Baochai walked in gracefully and said lightly, "Baochai sees the princess."
Xinyue smiled and said: "What kind of princess is not the princess, Miss Bao is so polite, please sit down."
Baochai secretly saw Xinyue's eyes were red, and the water inside was shining, and she was overjoyed. It seemed that her guess was right, and the contest between Xinyue and Lin Daiyu really had a lot of mystery.Seeing that this girl's personality is similar to that of Xiangyun, she should also have no heart in the city, so why don't I join hands with her.It seems that God is helping me, there is such a noble person to fight with Daiyu, and I can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so why not do it while reaping the benefits of being a fisherman.Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently and gently.
Seeing Baochai smiling and not speaking, Xinyue felt impatient, and asked, "What is Miss Bao looking for?"
Baochai was startled, quickly put away the color, and said softly: "The princess is polite. Baochai just saw the princess' talent and admired it, so she came here before she knew it."
Xinyue said displeased: "Miss Bao, are you making fun of me? Knowing that I have suffered a disastrous defeat today, are you here to laugh at me?"
