Shuangjiao

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wen Xueqing could only pinch her nose and drink the glass of birthday wine.

Wen Xueqing drank it to the end, which made Lingrou very satisfied.

— After all, after a while, it is likely that she has been drinking.

The joy of feasting and drinking, in addition to watching dances and enjoying music, there is also throwing pots for entertainment.This is the continuation of the shooting ceremony. Whenever there is a banquet and a drink, there must be a Song of Songs throwing the pot.

According to the etiquette, before the start of the pot throwing, the host should stand on the east step, holding the arrow in his hand, and the shooter should stand on the west step, holding the wooden carving container "Zhong" in his hand, and another servant would hold the pot next to the guests, also standing on the west steps.

A sister-in-law of Wen Xueqing hosted the banquet today.

She first invited all the guests with modest words, hoping that they would have a good time.

At this time, the guests have to decline, until the sister-in-law invites for the third time, and then bow and obey.

After stepping back and waiving the gift, the sister-in-law went up the east steps to bow and give the gift, and the guests also returned the gift.

Almost all the unmarried ladies in Linzhou gathered together today.Those present were all noble ladies, more likely to be his future husband's family.This pitching game is a good opportunity to show yourself.

After the shooter announces the rules, the musicians play "Beaver Head", and the host and guest take turns to shoot. When the fifth round is played, the four arrows in the hands of both host and guest must be thrown.This is a game, and the loser will be fined to drink.

There are many members of the Ling family. Apart from the main branch of Ling Rou, the girl who came this time also has a lot of people from the side branches, all of whom want to show their faces.

Gao Lan and Wen Xueqing bit their ears: "Lingrou is in danger this time. They have so many family members. If she doesn't pick herself up, she will be suppressed by her own family."

Wen Xueqing smiled and said nothing.

Not to mention the twists and turns in the Ling family, Gao Lan herself is not much better.The younger siblings born to Gao Lan's stepmother were also not at ease.She still has time to worry about others, maybe it's because she doesn't stand out?

To be honest, apart from her vivacious personality, Gao Lan is incapable of displaying all kinds of talents. Her studies often involve fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

When it was Lingrou's turn, she made a trick, the arrow bounced back into her hand after entering the pot, and she threw it into the pot again.

The guests were in an uproar, this is a difficult "Xiao", a hundred hits, a hundred hits, a hundred returns.

After Ling Rou finished voting, it was Wen Xueqing's turn.

Wen Liulang stood by and encouraged her: "Sister, don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you can't vote in, I will be able to vote in later!"

What kind of encouragement is this?

However, Wen Liulang didn't realize it. He felt that he had relieved the pressure on Sister, and he was very complacent. He opened his bright eyes and asked for praise.

All the guests heard very early on that the prince's daughter-in-law is beautiful, skilled, and good at riding and shooting, which made Princess Lekang very proud.Wen Xueqing, who was at the ceremony, was dressed in gorgeous clothes, which was amazing, and now is a good time to see Wen Xueqing's tricks.

Wen Xueqing is not afraid of these curious gazes.

"Liulang, take care." She raised her chin to Wen Liulang, asking people to set up a barrier.

With one arrow in each hand and bundled into a bundle, Wen Xueqing raised the arrow in her right hand, looked back at Ling Rou sideways, and smiled brightly.Everyone felt dizzy, the woman's skirt fluttered in the arena, her wide sleeves fluttered like a butterfly's wings, and the flying arrow in her hand plunged into the pot with a thud.

Two arrows entered the pot at the same time!

The audience was silent, all watching this scene.

Princess Lekang couldn't stop nodding, and whispered to the close servants around her, with unstoppable gleams in her eyes.Just now Lingrou was also outstanding, even if she intends to propose a marriage for the Wen family's children, that will be in the future.What's more, the daughter of the Ling family, the daughter of the Ling family, is followed by Ling, and the world will only praise the Ling family for their good teaching, so what does it have to do with the Wen family?

Gao Lan happily hugged Wen Xueqing: "Zhenzhen, you are too good!"

Today Lingrou's consecutive "Xiao" throws have already shocked everyone. I didn't expect Wen Xueqing to be able to do this.

"It's not difficult, it's only five feet away," it was easy for Wen Xueqing, "I can still throw nine feet."

"Really?" Gao Lan's eyes widened, "Zhenzhen will teach me in the future, okay?"

Gao Lan also poured the pot just now, but didn't put it in.

She was the guest, and that round was a match between the young ladies of the Gao family and Zhang Xiao and Wen Xueqing's sister-in-law. Except for her, Zhang Xiao and the young ladies of the Gao family did not participate. Not an embarrassment.

Wen Xueqing responded and subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao smiled at Wen Xueqing and took a step forward to congratulate her on her victory.

The victorious party will punish the losing party by pouring wine.

Kneeling opposite Wen Xueqing, Ling Rou raised her glass to thank Wen Xueqing: "Thanks for the drink."

Wen Xueqing looked at her, her eyes bent into crescent moons, and she couldn't hide her happiness: "Please use this wine as a sustenance."

After drinking sake, the heat rose, Ling Rou turned her head and stopped looking at her - she also let Wen Xueqing drink just now, so it's not a disadvantage!

After throwing pots, everyone drank congratulatory wine.

Wen Xueqing was happy and drank a few more glasses, not caring that Ling Rou's glass of wine was bad.

She was just happy to see Ling Rou deflated and overshadowed by the limelight.

"Qiniang," the sisters of the Ling family whispered to Ling Rou, "Grandmother Wen is so powerful?"

They didn't have much contact with Wen Xueqing. First, they really lost their confidence, and second, Wen Xueqing looked down on them and never paid attention to them.

"It's 'Wen' after all." Ling Rou was very calm, facing the drunk-eyed and confused Wen Xueqing from afar.

"That's right." The sisters of the Ling family agreed, "No matter how much I practice, I can't compare to making a gentleman like this. I practiced since I was a child, and after so many years, I can't keep up with flattery..."

Ling Rou didn't say anything, she lowered her eyes secretly and recalled the set of movements that Wen Xueqing did just now, if it was her...would she be able to do it?

Just now before Wen Xueqing was about to throw an arrow, she looked at her specially. Presumably she was not convinced that she had received so many praises, and she was thinking of competing.

Ling Rou clasped her hands, her face was calm, whether it was the amazement of the crowd before, or the look of regret that has now turned into regret, she did not change her expression.

This kind of calmness and calmness in dealing with changes is exactly what people admired at the time.

Seeing her calmness, all the guests turned around and gave another compliment.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is inevitable to arrange a two-person match today.

The name of Linzhou Shuangjiao has been passed down for not a day or two.

Wen Xueqing is not good at elegant music, calligraphy and painting. Princess Lekang wants her not only to be famous for her appearance, but also to become a beautiful vase that makes people laugh, so she naturally wants to find ways to make use of her strengths.

Coincidentally, Ling Rou is not as good as Wen Xueqing in throwing pots and archery.

Jiji Li, the much-anticipated Wen family girl, is finally no longer domineering and arrogant in the eyes of others.

After thinking about it, the expression on Lingrou's face became even colder.

Wen Xueqing is such a domineering person, what else can she do besides these things, but today, she really won a round.

Although I had a good attitude to deal with it later, if I lost, I lost.

During the second half of the banquet, she found a gap to go out to relax.Speaking of which, the last time she came to Wen's house, she didn't pay attention to it.

Lianchi thought it was pretty good at first, but when he met Wen Xueqing, he...

There were no servants to follow, and they walked around the strange stone rockery. When they were tired, there happened to be a gazebo under the shade of the trees for people to rest.

The garden design of the Wen family is meticulous.

She sat alone for a long time, let off the smell of alcohol, another servant who came to look for her appeared - it was time to go back.

Ling Rou went out suddenly at the banquet, although not many people noticed it, but there were many good-natured people who guessed if they were not convinced and left angrily.

Because Ling Rou left the banquet alone, the rest of the Ling family got impatient and went back first. Although the mother Cui Shi wanted to wait for her, but because of something urgent, she could only order the servants around her to quickly find the girl and send her back.

The hands in the sleeves clenched into fists secretly, Lingrou's expression remained unchanged, but her movements were slow, and she dragged on until the end to bid farewell.

Wen Xueqing didn't notice this, Princess Lekang had guests to receive, and she and her sisters-in-law and aunts had to send out the rest of the guests.

Even if he knew what these people were thinking, he would only feel that these people were meddlesome, that they didn't manage their own affairs well, and that they still had time to think about other things.

Wen Xueqing personally sent Ling Rou out.

Passing through the hanging flower door, a tall and tall young man stood outside, his armor still intact, and he dragged a stag in his hand.

Obviously waiting for someone.

Ling Rou stopped and looked at Wen Xueqing beside her.

"What's the matter with Changshi?"

Wen Xueqing spoke first.

Chang Tianyuan took off his pocket, Lang Lang smiled, and dragged up the stag that was still struggling with its limbs tied up: "The girl is ready today, so I will send it here."

"The banquet is over," Wen Xueqing said in a rare hesitation, "You brought it..."

She didn't even have a seat for him.

"I know," Chang Tianyuan didn't mind these things, "I missed the time myself, I just hope the girl doesn't get angry."

"I'm not angry about this, it's just this deer..." Wen Xueqing hesitated, "It's too big..."

The banquet is over, what to do with the stag is really a problem.

Although she hadn't eaten anything, Ling Rou suddenly felt her teeth sore.

——There must be too much pheasant meat at the feast!

She turned away and said coldly, "Okay, I should go."

At the same time, Princess Lekang, who hastily changed clothes after the banquet, received a special guest in the side hall.

With a pale face and no beard, he spoke in a high-pitched voice, and Yang Ren cupped his hands and raised his head high, bowing to him without bowing.

"At the order of the queen, I wish His Royal Highness the best of health and congratulations to Miss and Ji."
