The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Zhou Zhaoqing and Song Wenning were urgently invited into the mansion by Lin Er. On the way, they heard about the bet between Lin Mingyu and Xue Pan. They were regarded as friends by Lin Mingyu. He weighed his ability in Cuju in his heart, and his face looked very relaxed.

As soon as Lin Mingyu saw the faces of the two, he immediately smiled: "My savior is here."

Song Wenning joked: "When I was in Fujian, I often invited you to play Cuju, but you refused to compete with me. How could you bet on it today? This Mr. Xue must be in the Ming Dynasty. Yuxin is different than me."

Lin Mingyu was amazed: "Xue Pan is a passer-by, and Wen Ning is a good friend. How can such irrelevant concerns have the same weight in my heart? Didn't Wen Ning ask me to treat you as a passerby?"

Song Wenning choked for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "You just use words to squeeze me, brother Zhou, look, this is still the calm and reliable Mr. Lin in front of the elders?"

Zhou Zhaoqing replied: "Young master is smart, always like this. Song Gong praised you the most, but Wen Ning, you just left Song Gong's side. Why do you talk so much? This noisy nature is not your usual temperament."

Song Wenning pretended to be angry: "Okay, the two of you are on the same team. It seems that my life in Kyoto is not easy~"

Both Lin Mingyu and Zhou Zhaoqing laughed out loud. "Okay, let's talk about the business first. Ah Er has already told you what happened. How about it? Do you want to have a competition and exercise your muscles?"

"Of course! Fujian Cuju is not as popular as Kyoto. It's rare to find a few opponents who are worthy of appearance. I always want to play a few more games, but I just don't have enough people. Let me be the only one for tomorrow's matter." Song Wenning said cheerfully .

Lin Mingyu nodded and looked at Zhou Zhaoqing with a smile.I heard him say: "Wen Ning is right, I also want to have a good game. Is there anyone else around the young master who can participate? I heard from Ah Er that the young master has set new rules. people?"

Lin Mingyu said: "It's a little troublesome to choose a candidate. Although Xue Pan is arrogant, he should have some skills if he dares to make this bet. However, I set new rules that he has never heard of. Therefore, this game has an advantage for me It's just that I need to prepare seven people for this rule. I can trust your cuju skills, and I can do it myself, but the only one who can play cuju in the mansion is Ah Er, and Ah Da can't. In addition, there are three places that need to be considered. Method."

During these years in the capital, the Lin family has been close to the family of old friends. It is not a big deal to find a Cuju team. However, the bet between Lin Mingyu and Xue Pan was spontaneous, and he didn't want to make it known to everyone. , so Lin Mingyu was a little annoyed.

Song Wenning said: "Then you have found the right person. This time I have a few servants who are used to playing Cuju. I will pick three and bring them here."

Lin Mingyu clapped his hands: "Okay, you are famous for loving cuju, and everyone in Fujian knows it. I reckon that the people in your house are useful, otherwise I wouldn't dare to agree to Xue Pan so readily."

"Wait for me to cooperate with you. Brother Zhou, don't you feel that since Mingyu entered the capital, the melon seeds in his head are turning faster and faster."

Zhou Zhaoqing just smiled and didn't answer.

Now that the person has been selected, the three of them discussed, why not hone it for half a day to cultivate a tacit understanding, so that they can perform well tomorrow.So they changed their clothes and prepared.

On the other end, Lin Daiyu studied cartoons for half a day in the room, and drew a lot of embroidery patterns. She didn't feel the time passing by, and when she looked up again, she felt sore hands and neck pain.

Huang Ying has been paying attention to her from the corner of her eye, then put down the embroidery basket in her hand, and stepped forward to help her up.On one side, the oriole brought warm water to wash hands.

Lin Daiyu said: "I wanted to play casually, but I was fascinated when I didn't want to pick up the pen. Where did Mingyu go? I haven't seen him come to talk for a long time, and I always feel that my ears are too quiet."

Huang Ying replied with a smile: "Our uncle is the most kind-hearted, and has a good relationship with the girl. Not to mention the girl, we also feel that the uncle is not here, and it is deserted."

"It's better to say that it's better to be at home. Now that the master and uncle are in Beijing, the girl is at ease." Huang Li was careful, and a gentle smile appeared on Lin Daiyu's face when she said this. "The girl was painting just now, so I went to ask about it. The uncle is doing cuju in the courtyard. I heard from the boys that the uncle is very good at cuju. I am going to ask the girl for a favor and go to see the heroic appearance of the uncle."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu was really interested. Thinking about it, she was in her own home, and Mingyu knew how to measure it. Even if she went out, she would not lose any courtesy.

Huang Ying naturally went down to make arrangements, and Huang Ying waited on Daiyu to change her clothes, tidy up her clothes, and then walked gracefully into the back garden.

There are rockery grass and gazebos in the back garden.In particular, there is a place called Langya Terrace, the highest place in the Lin Mansion. There are shallow green plants on both sides of the winding stairs. Although autumn is getting stronger, the greenery is embellished, which makes people feel refreshed in their eyes.

Lin Daiyu walked up slowly. There were tables, chairs and spring stools in Langya Terrace, and embroidered cushions had been spread. On the tables were tea and fruit dishes and pastries of various colors.Looking from here, one can see the wide grassland obliquely below, in which seven or eight vigorous figures toss and turn, run and jump, and a ball rises and falls with the crowd, which is a lively scene.

Lin Daiyu couldn't see clearly through Mi Luo, but she knew her brother's figure very well, and she recognized him just by looking at the figure running back and forth, and couldn't help but put all her heart on him.After looking at it, one can't help but find that among this group of people, there is one person who is more in tune with Lin Mingyu.As soon as Lin Mingyu moved, that person followed him like a shadow, either separating him from others, or catching Ju Qiu who was kicked by him and shooting at the target.

"Okay!" Lin Daiyu couldn't help standing up from the spring bench and shouting "Hello" after hitting the ball with a wonderful cooperation.

"Master is really amazing!" Huang Ying and Huang Li were also excited, jumping up and cheering.

This small disturbance did not affect the young people who were sweating profusely below. Lin Daiyu and the others also looked at each other with a smile after a small gaffe, restrained their exposed emotions, and returned to the demureness of a boudoir woman.It's just that someone with ears and eyes heard the voice of the charming guest coming from the wind, but when he turned around, the light yellow and soft figure in the green bushes came into his eyes, like a frightened bird flying by, leaving a trace of beautiful shadow.

The Cuju appointment with Xue Pan arrived as scheduled.The people Xue Pan brought over were impressive, not to mention the rich clothes, they were all in good spirits, and their haughty expressions fully reflected the true colors of a group of dandies.

Lin Mingyu couldn't help adding two copies for him in her heart, but this momentum alone is not enough.He has long been prepared.When his men and horses moved away, seeing the surprise and fear in the opponent's eyes, Lin Mingyu said proudly: "Young man, do you know what uniform temptation is?"This is!

Headed by Lin Mingyu, the team on this side wore uniform black uniforms, long boots with arrow sleeves, and headbands on their foreheads.

Xue Pan's eyes lingered on Lin Mingyu for a little longer, and he didn't look at other people, he said proudly: "Lin Mingyu, it's not enough to just dress up well. Cuju is not as easy as a delicate young man like you thinks, Let's see the real chapter under our feet!"

Lin Mingyu squinted his eyes, and also looked at the world with contempt: "Hehe, I don't know who thought it easy. But it doesn't matter, I will be generous today, let innocent people open their eyes and see, it's not easy!" How should I write it!"

The eyes of the two met in the air, but it was a pity that there was no tension as Xue Pan was expecting to meet his opponent. Lin Mingyu put on a nonchalant expression very uncooperatively: "Stop talking nonsense, let's start."

In order not to let people say that he was unfair, Lin Mingyu copied a copy of the rules in advance and handed them to Xue Pan. As for whether he has comprehended or gotten used to it in such a short period of time, he doesn't care.After all, Xue Pan came to the door by himself, not begging him to let him come to Cuju.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, there is nothing to complain about.

Xue Pan knew that facing the new rules, his side would definitely lose, but he believed that his skills could make up for this little unaccustomedness, and as far as he knew, Lin Mingyu's team didn't have much tacit understanding.He must win!

When the two sides were thinking about each other, a gong sounded, and the game had already started.

Lin Daiyu was reading a book in her room, this is the second house, not too far away from the back garden, the sound of the gong at the other end is faint, but there is only a faint lingering sound at the other end.But it was this lingering sound that repeatedly interrupted her thoughts, preventing her from fully focusing on the books that always attracted her fascination in the past.

After staying in the palace for many days, everything outside Fangfo Palace is particularly attractive to her.She has never been a lively person, but when she saw her younger brother in high spirits during Cuju, she always kept that scene in her heart.

The vigor of the young man infected her too. For a moment, she wanted to leave behind her status as an aunt in the palace and return to Suzhou with her father and younger brother to live a comfortable life together.

It's just that she is smart and rational after all. The Lin family is weak, so she can't be so willful. For her father and younger brother, she must make herself strong so that no one will bully her family.Although it seems that no one can easily bully the Lin family for the time being.

The days in the palace broadened her horizons, and she no longer only looked at the three-acre land of Lin's and Jia's mansions, and she understood to some extent that the situation in the court was tense.Daddy Jane is in the emperor's heart, so many people are willing to win him over. The Lin family is also on the edge of a cliff now. I'm afraid that when the situation changes, it's involuntary to remain alone.

Lin Daiyu's heavy thoughts were interrupted by Huang Ying's cheerful laughter: "Girl, good news, the team led by Mr. Jiang Xue was defeated! Mr. won the Cuju match!"

Since the contestants were all young men, in order to avoid danger, Lin Daiyu took Mi Luo to pick a farther place to watch. She stayed in the yard and listened to Huang Ying's news from time to time.

"Brother Ming won!" Daiyu showed a gentle smile on her face, but she didn't mind expressing her determination in her expression: "Huang Li, send me the dessert and sweet soup. After they change their clothes, we'll go back to you." Instruct the cook to bring up the banquet. Brother Ming must be happy today, let Ah Dao watch, don't get drunk."

Huang Ying happily went to spread the word, Huang Ying was still chattering and describing the situation of Cuju, Lin Daiyu listened carefully, the smile on her face never stopped.
