Ling Qingyu put down the curtain and picked up a snack. Ancient essays were either poems or calligraphy and paintings. These were her shortcomings, so it was okay not to read them.

Yan San smiled slightly and asked: Han Zong said that the kitchen has cooked porridge, do you want to order some?

Okay. Ling Qingyu nodded, then stood up and said, I'll go out for a walk.

Yan San put a big cloak around her, then put on a rabbit mask, and he also put on a lone wolf mask. The two walked out of the Nuan Pavilion. Yan San asked Ying Shisan to get porridge, while Sum guarded the Nuan Pavilion and followed Ling Qingyu. Go to the greenhouse.

There are five greenhouses, and the decorations placed in the first three rooms can be closed. At this time, the young men and brothers are arguing in front, but there are many ladies and maids strolling around here.

A young lady only pounced once and got a hairpin, and said happily: I'll go and ask my brother and they to come and play too.

These were probably the family members of middle- and lower-level officials. Han Xiao had arranged for someone to bring them here early in the morning to play. At this time, seeing so many beautiful jewelry, they were very lively and chattering, and they could not stop them. At least he took some copper coins to gamble .

Ling Qingyu stood in the corner and looked around, then walked towards the greenhouse where the three sets of top-quality jewelry were placed.

This greenhouse is at the back. I thought there was no one inside, but I saw a group of maids and women standing outside. There were already two young ladies and several maids looking at the three sets of jewelry.

Sister Cheng, look at this. said the short lady with a double bun and a pig mask.

She was referring to the set of imperial green jade jewelry. Miss Cheng, who was wearing a butterfly mask, nodded and said: Well, this set is the best. Her voice was clear and a little deep, which was very beautiful.

How much does this set cost? Miss Piggy asked the maid next to her.

These three sets will be put out for bidding later, and the one with the highest price will get it. The maid bowed slightly and said respectfully.

Sister Cheng, let's go find the eldest brother and ask him to pay. Miss Xiaozhu pulled Miss Cheng and said.

Oh, is the imperial censor so rich now? A very beautiful lady in a bright red brocade robe slowly walked into the conservatory with her maid, and said calmly.

Who can compare with the over-subordinate branch? My father has not received his salary for two months, but your Wang family is naturally not short of money. Miss Xiaozhu snorted and said.

You! the beautiful lady said angrily.

Sister Cheng, let's go. The smell here is too bad. Without waiting for her to say anything else, Miss Piggy dragged Miss Cheng and walked out.

Hmph, let's go and find big brother. Miss Mei also snorted and turned around to go out.

Ling Qingyu stood in the corner and watched them leave. After pondering for a moment, he also headed towards the literary platform.

At this time, the protagonist in front of the stage has been changed. After Zhao Mingliang wrote a calligraphy, the applause was as loud as the sky.

Sure enough, it's Young Master Zhao! Young Master Zhao should be the number one word today!

I think Mr. Fan's poems are better.

Master Wang's paintings are good.

Cheng Jia stood aside leisurely and saw his sister and the girl from Mei Yushi's family standing in front of the Nuan Pavilion. Then he caught a glimpse of a woman wearing a rabbit mask half-hidden behind a plum tree.

Lowering his head and chuckling, Cheng Jia walked to the desk and spread a layer of rice paper.

The people next to him suddenly fell silent. Cheng Jia was the leader of the four young masters, but he never participated in these literary fights. He just came here just to say hello to others. At this time, he actually had the intention to write. There was silence for a while, and only Cheng Jia took up the pen. The sound of brushing.

The mountains in the distance are like black clouds, and the crowns of several big trees are like clouds. An old man is leading an old ox along the recently harvested field to a small courtyard full of wild chrysanthemums.

What a beautiful picture of Tiangui.

In the blank space on the right, Cheng Jia changed his pen and waved his hand like a dragon or a snake, leaving behind two lines of resolute and elegant cursive script.

Cheng Jia put down the pen, flicked the non-existent ink on his hand, then took two steps back, put down his rolled-up sleeves, and smiled calmly.

What a painting! What a calligraphy! So... I didn't see what the poem was.

Brother Cheng should be the first person to do what we do today. After a moment of silence, Zhao Mingliang said.

Yes, today's jackpot is won by Brother Cheng. As soon as Zhao Mingliang said this, there were echoes from all around.

There were also shouts and discussions from the ladies in the nearby Nuan Pavilion. Many maids had been sent by their own ladies to see what Cheng Lang had done.

Let's go over there and have a look. A young man called, pointing to the projection platform. If you can't compare to Wen, it's not like you are the ones who are responsible for this.

Comparing to what? Wait for me? With a loud voice, Zhao Yinfeng walked over with Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart. He originally wanted to sneak in, but he ran into this guy at the gate. He threw away the mask and dragged him in.

That's not okay. If you want to participate, Zhao Sanlang, we won't compete. The young masters didn't recognize Yang Zhao, but they all recognized Zhao Yinfeng, so someone shouted.

Compared to this? Zhao Yinfeng looked at the throwing pot and the archery target, and said with a smile: This young man won't compete with you, I will watch.

Everyone rushed over there in a hurry, and many noble ladies also walked out of the Nuan Pavilion and followed behind to take a look. Wen Dou's calligraphy could be viewed in hindsight, but this kind of thing had to be seen at the scene. Now three of the four major princes have come, including Cheng Jia, who is rarely seen in person, and those young and promising single princes from Bianjing are basically gathered here. How can we not take advantage of such a good opportunity? Not only look at them, but also look for opportunities to show up yourself. As soon as the noble ladies left, many family members of low-level officials were also a little bit ready to make a move, and some bold ones had already followed them.

After the others left, Yang Zhao walked behind the plum tree and asked, Why are you out? Isn't it cold?

It's okay, I'm just watching the fun. Ling Qingyu said with a smile, the war between women is exciting, then Miss Wang will definitely take revenge, she is waiting to see.

The projection stage was very lively, with constant laughter and exclamations of cheers from the ladies. Ling Qingyu thought that Zhao Yinfeng would not be able to recognize him if he was wearing this rabbit mask, so he couldn't help but say: Let’s go take a look too.”

One of the young men shot the arrow away, causing laughter in the plum forest. He retreated with a blushing face and handed the bow to Zhao Mingliang.

Master Zhao! A shout made everyone turn their eyes and saw a very beautiful woman in red with a blushing face and another woman in lavender brocade standing aside. This was not the Wang family who was engaged to Zhao Mingliang. Second lady? Suddenly all kinds of eyes swept over Zhao Mingliang and the woman in red.

Zhao Mingliang acted as if he didn't see it, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, calmed his mind, and shot out an arrow, hitting the inner circle of the target steadily.

Good! cheers rang out. This was considered the best result. Although Zhao Mingliang came from a family of military generals, he was famous for his literary talent. Over time, people also regarded him as a scholar and ignored his origin.

Brother Yang, you should go too, you will definitely win. A young lady suddenly walked up to Yang Zhao, raised her head, took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face, and said affectionately.

Come again! Yang Zhao, how many love rivals do you want me to have! Ling Qingyu stared at Yang Zhao, his eyes slicing like a knife.

Yang Zhao's face darkened and he said, Girl, respect yourself.

Zhang Lian's face froze, and Zhao Yinfeng already smiled and said: Girl, this is not acceptable. General Yang is a famous marksman. Participating in this kind of game is a clear sign of bullying.

General Yang, Yang Zhao!

Zhao Sanlang, please don't stand in the way. Yes, let's see Shura God of War's archery skills. General Yang may not dare to show his shame.

Brother Yang, just show them! Zhang Lian said with a look of indignation. She came today to look after her eldest sister and her cousin, but she has always been ostracized. Although there are many young talents here, she also knows that they have nothing to do with her. She felt happy when she saw Yang Zhao, thinking There is always some friendship when we come back together. If Yang Zhao can be encouraged to take action, she can regain some face in front of these legitimate daughters who look down on her.

Girl, you and I have never met before, please respect yourself! The last three words were said almost through gritted teeth, and Yang Zhao took two steps back and said.

Zhang Lian couldn't hold it anymore, and her face turned red immediately. Seeing Yang Zhao's gloomy face, she knew that she would be embarrassed if she continued to entangle him, so she covered her face and ran away.

Is this what General Yang is capable of? someone sneered.

Ling Qingyu turned to Yan San and said a few words, and Yan San nodded and left quietly.

Zhao Yinfeng heard something strange from some people, and he felt a little annoyed. Those people were from the Cao and Wang factions. Yang Zhao would rather resist the decree than refuse the marriage between them. The people from these two families believed in him. It was because he had a grudge that by calling Yang Zhao out he was harming him.

If General Yang wins, I'm afraid you will say it was a victory without force, right? Cheng Jia said lightly.

Cheng Jia spoke up, and everyone was quiet for a while. Fan Zheng then smiled and said, That's it, come on, come on, let's see my Master Fan's magical skills!

Fan Zhen's archery skills were pretty good. He also entered the inner circle and said with a smile: I think today's lottery is good, so it's mine.

Ling Qingyu glanced at the hairpin and sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, Yang Zhao could not come forward at this time.

Brother, I want that hairpin. Miss Cheng from Meilin said crisply.

If so, I'm sorry. Cheng Jia patted Fan Zhen's shoulder, rolled up his sleeves, and took the bow and arrow.

You can't be so unjust! Fan Zheng shouted.

It's only natural for my brother to win the lottery for his sister! Cheng Jia laughed and shot an arrow right into the red heart.

Okay! Okay! Okay! There were cheers.

Cheng Jia's long sleeves fluttered, and she was unparalleled in elegance. She was now so proficient in playing the piano, painting, and calligraphy, and once again captured countless hearts, even those reserved ladies couldn't help but applaud her.

Everyone! Han Ye stepped out from the side and said with a smile, It's rare that everyone is so interested. Today we will add another game.

A maid in white walked around in front of everyone holding a box. In the box was a set of imperial green jade jewelry.

The exclamation sounded again.

Everyone, please take a look, Han Zong pointed to the center of the lake in the distance, where a small boat had been parked, with a small archery target erected on the boat, and said, If anyone can hit the red heart with ten arrows, this set The treasure of the Ling family’s store belongs to him.”

The entire plum forest was quiet for a while. The set of jewelry was worth more than ten thousand gold, and the people who saw it were jealous. However, not to mention how far it is from here to the archery target in the lake, there are so many plum trees in between, and you have to pass through it. When these plum trees reach the archery target, it can only be said that their archery skills are amazing.
