But then this young lady danced with her fingers against the ten little wine Gus, and all the little wine Gus standing on her fingers didn't fall off. She couldn't help but want to find out if the ten wine Gus had stuck to her fingers in some way.
It was only later that the young lady's actions proved that this idea was wrong. She threw ten wine Gus into the air, and then used dazzling movements to change her fingers and use the gaps between her fingers to push these little wine Gus. Catch it, not a single one fell to the ground from the beginning to the end, and the movement was so fast that it was impossible to see how she did it. Everyone present couldn't help exclaiming, and even the old princess cheered up and watched with relish.
In the end, the young lady waved her two sleeves, and the ten wine Gus suddenly disappeared again. She then flipped her hands, and a large bowl suddenly appeared on both hands, and the bowl was actually 80% full of tea. I don't know how she did it. If the big bowl of tea was just hidden by her in her wide sleeves, how could she have not sprinkled it at all? The people present once again exclaimed in amazement at the sublime skill.
The young lady smiled sweetly, took the bowl in both hands on the stage, and then handed it to Ren Yaoqi: "Mr. Ren, please drink tea." Although she was smiling, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if she was saying Do you dare to drink this bowl of tea in my hand
Ren Yaoqi naturally didn't want to drink this bowl of something she didn't know the origin of, but she still smiled and took the tea bowl from the lady's hand, lowered her head and smelled the ordinary incense sticks, and the tea still came out With warm air. She was about to say a few words to get rid of the young lady who was still staring at her, but Xiao Jinglin got up and walked over, pretending to be curious and involuntarily taking the tea bowl in her hand: "It seems amazing, let me try."
Ren Yaoqi thought she wanted to try it because she wanted to drink it, and was about to stop it, but saw Xiao Jinglin imitating the tricks of the young lady just now, and the tea bowl that was still in her hand just disappeared immediately. Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and then they all cheered for Xiao Jinglin.
The young lady who performed the trick looked a little ugly: "The county master, that bowl is my family heirloom. Please give it back to me." Where is there any magic in this world, her trick looks mysterious and dazzling, and also It's just relying on those few seemingly simple appliances.
Xiao Jinglin raised her eyes, then smiled quietly, and suddenly she flipped her sleeves like this girl did before, although her sleeves were not as wide as this lady, and they didn't look as good when they were thrown, but she still let her. The people present were amazed. Because Xiao Jinglin's hands suddenly appeared in the hands of the ten wine Gus that had suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Jinglin gave her the ten wine gu with a blank expression: "Well, give it back to you, I will help you change it back!"
Miss Juggler: "… "
You didn't make it. You stole this from me! She grieved in her heart. It's a pity that Xiao Jinglin has already returned to her seat to restore her noble and cold-eyed princess style. Ignore her at all.
In the end, when the lady stepped down from the stage, her eyes were red with anger.
Nobody noticed. After Xiao Jinglin sat down, she blinked at Ren Yaoqi, only Ren Yaoqi could see the happy thoughts in her eyes after making fun of people.
Xiao Jinglin thought, let you take out a broken bowl to show off, and dare to force people to drink anything. Find a beating!
These people may think that County Master Xiao is too boring. The fourth and fifth young ladies are performing arrows and sword dancing. As a result, the archer always misses the target for some reason, but the sword dancing goes well. After the dance was over, it was still very pleasing to the eyes, but at the end, when he put on a beautiful closing position and asked "Mr. Ren" to teach him his shoes, his shoes flew and he got a big red face.
Starting from the sixth lady, she finally returned to Wendou.
The sixth Miss Li who appeared on the stage was a painter, probably because of the influence of the atmosphere of Kyoto. These ladies love to create some eye-catching gimmicks when they write and draw. This Miss Li naturally refused to paint well. She set up two blank screens, started work with her left and right hands at the same time, and painted two paintings at the same time while dancing. Finally, she completed a picture of flowers and birds and a snow scene in a very short time. picture. The painter is pretty good. But all art is about a pure state of mind. If there are too many miscellaneous patterns, it is easy to lose the authenticity. Painting with such a state of mind will inevitably have a little more craftsmanship and a little less aura.
As Ren Shimin's daughter, Ren Yaoqi followed Pei Zhiyan and immersed herself in appreciation for many years. Her vision was naturally unmatched by ordinary people, and she made some detailed comments on Miss Li's paintings aside from those tricks. As soon as a connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is any. As long as he knows how to paint and appreciate, he can see from Ren Yaoqi's comments on Miss Li's paintings that she is really capable, even the few people who are sitting with Mrs. An elderly lady who has a lot of research on painting really appreciates this "Mr. Ren".
The people who were waiting to see Ren Yaoqi's jokes were silent now. No wonder Yanbei Wangfu dared to use the young Ren Yaoqi as a gentleman. If all the girls attending the Qianjin Banquet today are Yanbei's ladies, Ren Yaoqi's outstanding performance may be guessed that Yanbei's palace deliberately made a move for her to marry into the palace, but today she named "Mr. Ren" for advice. They were all sent by the Queen Mother to demolish the palace of Yanbei Wangfutai, and no one would doubt that Ren Yaoqi had "communicated" with these people beforehand.
The seventh Miss Tan and the eighth Miss Zhuang appeared together. Miss Tan was good at reciting poetry and doing it right. Miss Zhuang was good at arranging and singing. Miss Tan asked several gentlemen to write questions. Sing and sing. Miss Tan has a quick mind, and Miss Zhuang's voice is soft and clear. This pair is a very good match, which is refreshing.
Ren Yaoqi is not very good at reciting poems and writing poems, but she did not study less than she did when she followed Pei Di Shi, who should read and learn. of. In addition, she performed well before, and her expression remained calm and confident from beginning to end, which gave people the illusion of omnipotence, so after she finished commenting, everyone didn't feel anything wrong, but fortunately they just let her She commented and did not let her write poetry on the spot to compete with Miss Tan.
After the first eight young ladies had finished playing, only Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu were left.
Everyone was attracted by the fighting between these beauties from Kyoto and Ren Yaoqi, and the ladies from Yanbei who came to the Qianjin Banquet became decorations, and they hurriedly stepped down after walking through the motions. Everyone knew that the finale was going to be the end, so when it was the last two ladies' turn, everyone present cheered up to watch the battle.
Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu looked at each other, and finally Zhao Yingqiu got up to fight.
At this time, someone came up to the princess and said a few words. The princess seemed a little surprised when she heard the words. She thought about it and nodded. Then he smiled at everyone: "Several adults sent by the imperial court have arrived, although no men have ever attended our Yanbei's Qianjin Banquet, but these adults are all seniors who are talented and respected, and represent the imperial court and the Queen Mother, there is nothing wrong with attending."
The princess said this, naturally no one dared to have an opinion.
The three adults were quickly brought over. Except for Pei Zhiyan who was walking behind, the other two adults were a little embarrassed.
Several maids sent by the empress dowager were anxious when they saw that these ladies were defeated by Ren Yaoqi one by one, so they had to invite a few adults to sit in the town, for fear that the Yanbei palace would bully them with petty tricks behind the scenes. On the contrary, a few adults were a bit uncomfortable when they came to the women's pile.
The princess ordered the three adults to be placed on the east side of the high platform. Opposite to Madam Xu and the others.
After everyone is seated again. Zhao Yingqiu stepped forward and directed Yingying a blessing. She said softly, "The little girl has little talent and no ability. After thinking about it, she can show a little bit of chess skills." Her eyes swept across the faces of everyone on the stage, and finally stopped on Ren Yaoqi's face, with a hint in her eyes. Kind of apologetic. "I wonder if 'Mr. Ren' can accompany the little girl to the last round?"
Generally speaking, if the girls want to show their chess skills at the Qianjin Banquet, they will also have a husband who is good at chess. Since Ren Yaoqi has become a husband, it is natural for Zhao Yingqiu to challenge her, unless Ren Yaoqi admits that he is not good at chess. , voluntarily admit defeat.
However, Ren Yaoqi was now brought to the front of the stage by the Yanbei Palace, so naturally he would not easily admit defeat. It's just that there is no certainty in winning or losing in chess. Ren Yaoqi doesn't know the depth of this Miss Zhao, so naturally he won't be arrogant enough to think that he can really beat the invincible player in the world. But she wasn't afraid to lose.
Ren Yaoqi got up and nodded politely towards Zhao Yingqiu. Go to the chessboard. When she walked to the princess, the princess smiled and said to her, "Just relax and go. It's not ashamed if you lose. After all, no one can be an all-rounder."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said yes. Then sat opposite Zhao Yingqiu.
The two guessed, Zhao Yingqiu took the black child first.
Ren Yaoqi thought about how to move slowly while observing Zhao Yingqiu's path. From the opening point of view, Zhao Yingqiu is considered a middle-level expert among women who can play chess, and he does not seem to know the number of ways. There are even some sloppy, tickle-like tickling.
Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi has a very calm temperament. She has played against many real masters in the world, such as Pei Zhiyan, Xiao Jingxi, especially Pei Zhiyan. From time to time, people will put on a game, and one will be half a day.
So regardless of whether Zhao Yingqiu did this deliberately to confuse the opponent's thinking, Ren Yaoqi was unmoved.
The two played a cup of tea without being too salty or light. Zhao Yingqiu was not in a hurry, and Ren Yaoqi was not in a hurry. The people who were expecting a wonderful duel were almost dozing off when they saw it.
Just when everyone thought that this match would go to the end in such an indifferent manner, Zhao Yingqiu's chess style suddenly changed, a few moves fell, and the situation turned upside down in an instant. completely annihilated.
The people present were suddenly refreshed, some sighed in disappointment, and some secretly applauded Zhao Yingqiu. Others think that no one is all-rounder, and that Ren Yaoqi is not top-notch in everything, so they can't help but feel some comfort.
On the contrary, Ren Yaoqi, who had lost half of the city, still looked calm and indifferent, and even she did not change her chess path because of this.
As a result, Zhao Yingqiu was unable to maintain the aggressiveness of the attack. The game between the two slowed down again, and Ren Yaoqi regained lost ground step by step on his own. Although the speed was slow, the rhythm was controlled by her.
Zhao Yingqiu couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaoqi: "Miss Ren is so determined."
Ren Yaoqi smiled at her when she heard the words, and fell down without rushing.
In fact, Ren Yaoqi has been thinking about Zhao Yingqiu's chess path several times in his heart at this moment. It's okay for Zhao Yingqiu to not move. Eerie familiarity.
She hadn't figured it out at first, so she deliberately gave up on her lower left corner to see Zhao Yingqiu's path, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, because Zhao Yingqiu's chess style was very similar to Pei Zhiyan's. Ren Yaoqi thought about it carefully, Zhao Yingqiu should have nothing to do with the Pei family. Therefore, Zhao Yingqiu should have carefully studied Pei Zhiyan's chess game, and then learned Pei Zhiyan's chess style by five or six points. For example, when she was making traps to lure the enemy, she learned Pei Zhiyan's swordsmanship and surprise. I have to say that Zhao Yingqiu is really good at it. Smart, if Ren Yaoqi was not too familiar with his husband's ways, he would most likely have been deceived by Zhao Yingqiu's tricks.
However, Zhao Yingqiu is not Pei Zhiyan after all. Restricted by her horizons, experience and experience, no matter how much she learns, it is only likeness.
Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the chess game, raised his eyebrows, and smiled. However, after taking a few glances, he gradually became serious. There was also a hint of interest in his eyes.
Ren Yaoqi's chess style is as calm as ever. Even if she has a slight advantage. However, the situation did not remain so stalemate. Just when Ren Yaoqi was on the verge of defeat, suddenly her chess style changed, her murderous aura overflowed, and her killing was decisive. Zhao Yingqiu was caught off guard by her killing, and the rhythm was disrupted by her unconsciously, and Ren Yaoqi pulled the situation back by accident.
In addition to Pei Zhiyan's interest in seeing it, Mrs. Xu was also very stunned to see this, because the trick Ren Yaoqi used to defeat Zhao Yingqiu was obviously used when Xiao Jingxi was on the boat last time. The killer move that Pei Zhiyan used.
Ren Yaoqi calculated Xiao Jingxi's move by 100%, but Zhao Yingqiu was not Pei Zhiyan after all. At that time, Pei Zhiyan gritted his teeth and resisted Xiao Jingxi's ultimate move, but Zhao Yingqiu couldn't resist Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi really used Xiao Jingxi's tricks. When she saw Zhao Yingqiu learning Pei Zhiyan's chess style, she thought of the last match on the boat and couldn't help itching. In addition, Ren Yaoqi knew more about Pei Zhiyan's ways than Xiao Jingxi. Therefore, in the numerous traps under Zhao Yingqiu's cloth, she was almost on the ground.
Next, Zhao Yingqiu was simply defeated like a mountain. Ren Yaoqi was unwilling to drag the battle, and killed Zhao Yingqiu in the most direct, simple and rude way. From this point of view, Ren Yaoqi should be the daughter-in-law of the Yanbei palace, not the family does not enter the house. The presence of King Yanbei should be gratifying.
When the last stern and stern ultimate move came out, Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting at the top, patted the table top and raised his voice, "Okay!"
Who is Pei Zhiyan? From a prominent background, he is a young champion, the teacher of the emperor, and a figure admired by students all over the world. He gave Ren Yaoqi a big face when he cried out, and the princess couldn't help but curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
In fact, what Pei Zhiyan wanted to express at the time was: what a good student who draws inferences from one thing!
However, this sound has already been called out. It doesn't matter what Pei Zhiyan wants to express. It is enough for everyone to know that Mr. Pei appreciates Miss Ren's talent.
Zhao Yingqiu's face turned pale, she looked down at the chess game, forced a smile, and conceded defeat.
Zhao Yingqiu went down, and the last one to play was Yan Ningshuang.
Yan Ningshuang's face was not very good. The queen mother sent ten girls to Yanbei, but none of the first nine took advantage of it. It is conceivable how much pressure she had to be the last to appear. However, seeing Ren Yaoqi standing on the stage with a sharp edge and accepting all kinds of admiring glances, Yan Ningshuang bit her lip, took a deep breath and stood up.
"What kind of talent does Miss Yan want to show?" Madam Xu asked when she saw Yan Ningshuang standing empty-handed, and there was no maid to prepare musical instruments, pen and paper, etc.
Yan Ningshuang straightened her back and stood in the field, smiled and said, "I compare books."
"Book?"
The people present were a little curious when they heard the words. Yan Ningshuang did not have a book in her hand. How should this "book" be compared
Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi, pointed her head to the crowd and said, "My books are all here. I have heard that Miss Ren has a lot of knowledge, and I couldn't help but want to ask Miss Ren to teach me a thing or two."
When everyone heard the words, it was too arrogant to speak to Miss Yan. She even said that she kept the book in her head, and who was more knowledgeable than Miss Ren
Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Yan Ningshuang to compare this with her, so he couldn't help but ask, "How does Miss Yan want to compare?"
Yan Ningshuang seemed to be well prepared, and replied calmly, "I say a word at will, and Miss Ren names the source. How about when Miss Ren says a word, and I point out the source?"
This method is simple, direct, and relatively fair, but the person who can propose this test method must have extremely strong self-confidence in himself, and Ren Yaoqi is also a little curious about this Miss Yan's ability.
"But..." Yan Ningshuang suddenly changed her words, and when everyone's attention turned to her, she smiled slightly, "but I still have an additional bet, I wonder if Miss Ren dares to respond?"
Yan Ningshuang's words were unabashedly provocative, and everyone turned to look at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi refused to be fooled, smiled and said, "I'm just grading today, not participating in the competition." But everyone seemed to have forgotten this.
Yan Ningshuang bent her lips, and her tone was definitely with some disdain: "You dare not!"
Ren Yaoqi wasn't annoyed, just curiously said, "I don't know what bet Miss Yan wants to add?"
Yan Ningshuang glanced at her: "If you lose, follow me to Kyoto for three years!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and the princess and Xiao Jinglin couldn't help frowning.
Ren Yaoqi also raised her eyebrows. This Miss Yan is really straightforward. Everyone knows that her marriage with Xiao Jingxi is scheduled for August. If you follow her to Kyoto, will she want her to regret the marriage? Moreover, it is not certain whether she will be able to come back when she goes to Kyoto!
The girl from Yanbei was unconvinced and said, "What if you lose?"
Yan Ningshuang smiled proudly: "If I lose, let her handle it!"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head with a smile, and joked: "Miss Yan, you are a distinguished guest sent by the Queen Mother, and even if I win, I can't deal with you at will. So you might as well just say that you want to invite me to your home. A guest at home."
When everyone heard the words, they thought back, Miss Yan really won't suffer no matter whether she wins or loses! But who does she think she is? Why does she do what she wants
Someone whispered mockingly below: "Didn't you wake up? She thinks this is her garden!"
Yan Ningshuang didn't believe that she would lose to Ren Yaoqi, so she just said what she wanted to do without thinking too much.
At this moment, the old princess sitting at the top said casually: "Compared to compare, isn't this courage not losing our Yanbei's face?"
No one knows what state of mind the old princess had when she said this, but it was obvious that she agreed with the competition. The scene couldn't help but become quiet again, and everyone looked at the reactions of the princess and Ren Yaoqi.
Wang Fei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she heard it. Just as she was about to speak, Concubine Yun, who had been sitting on the side and had nothing to do with her, spoke up: "How can there be a reason for the teacher to compete with the students? This is the loss of Yan Bei's face. It's getting late. , Miss Yan can finish the show as soon as possible so that this thousand golden banquet will end earlier. Princess, let's start!"
Concubine Yun said this sentence with an unquestionable power, suppressing all the momentum of the old princess, no matter how ugly the old princess' face was.
The old wangfei's face was red and white, and today Taifei Yun swept her face several times when she came, making her unable to come down in public. She wanted to have an attack but couldn't hold back her face, because there was no chance of her defeating Concubine Yun. The old princess was so suffocated that she could barely breathe.
Concubine Yun made a decision, and this farce was forced to end. Although Yan Ningshuang was unwilling, she did not dare to refute Concubine Yun, and even the old princess did not speak.
However, Ren Yaoqi looked up in surprise and glanced at Concubine Yun who was helping her out. Concubine Yun glanced at her, then looked away lightly.
The princess gave Madam Xu a wink, and Madam Xu came forward calmly to announce the continuation of the competition.
Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi and swore in her heart that she would win this game no matter what.
