Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Under the plum tree in the courtyard of Shouan Hall

"I hit it! I hit it!"

Rulan cheered outside the Shou'an Hall, and even her little girl, Magpie, laughed.

After Minglan tilted her head and glanced for a few times, she quickly walked a few steps to the throwing pot and picked up the arrow. She took the opportunity to weigh the weight of the arrow.

She glanced at Gu Tingye, a little unwilling to admit defeat, and a little surprised by his pot throwing skills, and then glanced at Chang Feng, who had just claimed that he wanted to compete with Gu Tingye on pot throwing skills.

The proud little rooster Chang Feng experienced a mental journey of eagerness to try, surprise, astonishment, daze, and loss of fighting spirit.

Minglan, on the other hand, has experienced the anxious and miserable experience of watching the battle when it's too high or too low, you try hard, you can't hit, your skills are really bad, and you're anxious.

Gu Tingye looked at Ru Lan who was cheering for him in surprise, then looked back at Xu Zaijing who was standing aside. Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye looked at each other and smiled. Then Gu Tingye glanced at Gu Tingyi again and signaled Gu Tingyi to also work hard and encourage Chang Feng. .

But Gu Tingyi curled his lips and said nothing. His eyes made it clear that there was little difference between encouraging and not encouraging this technique.

And she noticed the way Chang Feng looked at her just now and didn't like it.

Mo Lan's face was a little ugly, and she looked at her brother Chang Feng with an anxious look in her eyes. When she turned her head and saw Gu Tingyi's expression, she immediately felt that she had lost face, but she couldn't leave directly.

Chang Feng lost his fighting spirit and lowered his hand, losing the courage to throw in again.

At this time

The group of children saw Mother Liu, Wei Shuyi, Xiaodie and others coming in from the entrance of the courtyard, and they all cast their glances.

Wei Shuyi glanced around after entering the courtyard, and when he saw a male guest, he quickly looked to the ground.

When walking towards Shou'antang, Wei Shuyi's eyes also passed by Minglan. When she saw the throwing pot arrow in Minglan's hand, she raised her eyes slightly, looked at Minglan faintly, and felt that her own Ming Lan reluctantly put the arrow into the quiver.

Mother Liu and the other four passed by and saw several people playing who stopped for a moment not far away. They bowed respectfully and continued walking towards the house.

When Qingcao saw Xiaodie, she knelt down and bowed with gratitude.

After Xu Zaijing nodded slightly, he stopped the Gu Tingye brother and sister who wanted to come forward with his eyes. Although Gu Tingye was several months older than Xu Zaijing, sometimes Gu Tingye always listened to Xu Zaijing's words or looked at him involuntarily.

The reason may be that he was once subdued by Xu Zaijing by force.

Gu Tingyi said to Gu Tingye with a surprised look on his face: "Second brother, this Miss Wei is so beautiful! But"

Gu Tingye nodded and reacted, then glared at Gu Tingyi and told his brother that his concubine was beautiful! Gu Tingyi was stared at.

Xu Zaijing turned around and continued to pay attention to the pot throwing here.

Just now

Although he really didn't stare at Wei Xiaoniang rudely, his eyesight was very good.

Among the low-hanging plum blossoms in full bloom,

Even with an inadvertent glance, Wei Shuyi's extremely neatly combed black hair was clearly visible, but there was no jewelry on it;

Her eyebrows were downcast and her face was well-shaped, but there was an extremely clear calmness in her eyes that could not be seen thousands of miles away. Only when she looked at Minglan just now, there was some fluctuation in her eyes.

Moreover, Wei Shuyi's complexion is much paler than Mama Liu, the respectable stewardess who serves the Wang family; it seems to be some kind of habit engraved in his bones, even if he bows slightly, Wei Shuyi's shoulders are not hunched; She was wearing new clothes with her hands clasped in front of her body, but what was exposed from the sleeves of the new clothes was the clothes that had been severely worn.

Mo Lan and Chang Feng on the side looked at each other and then looked at Wei Shuyi who appeared in Shou'antang.

Ru Lan, who was looking at the gifts just now, looked confused, and then said directly to Ming Lan: "Why is your little girl here? She is..." Chang Bai on the side glared at Ru Lan, but Ru Lan did not say the next words.

After several people passed by, Gu Tingye handed the arrow to Changbai. Changbai's usually expressionless face showed a hint of embarrassment. Most of his energy was spent on reading and practicing calligraphy.

After hearing Ru Lan's words, Gu Tingyi glanced at Wei Shuyi who entered the Shou'an Hall. She rolled her eyes strangely and looked at Minglan with some hope: "Miss Six, can you throw the pot?"

Minglan glanced at Rulan and felt a little uncomfortable, then lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes in her hands. After pondering for a while, she nodded her head heavily and said, "Yes!"

Hearing this, Changbai handed the arrow in his hand to Minglan and said, "Sixth sister, come and play. I really don't play much and I don't know how to throw pots. Just play casually, and if you lose, it's mine."

Minglan raised her head happily and looked at Changbai's encouraging eyes. Minglan nodded, then looked at Gu Tingye and said, "I want to compete with you!"

Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing. Xu Zaijing knew his strength, and then looked at Changbai, meaning that your sister is ambitious. He looked at Gu Tingyi again and said, "If you want to compete with me, you have to compete with my sister first."

Gu Tingyi gave his second brother an appreciative nod, then looked at Minglan and said, "Sixth girl, come on! If you compete with me, you can challenge my second brother."

Rulan didn't realize at all that her words gave Minglan the idea of ​​competing in pot throwing. She continued: "Don't cry if you lose."

Chang Feng on the side also said: "Sixth sister, Brother Gu is very powerful, so don't be too ambitious." Mo Lan frowned and said softly: "Don't lose our family's face."

Minglan didn't say anything. She came to the place where the pot was thrown and gave a slight salute to Gu Tingyi: "Sister, I am a guest from afar. Who do you think will throw the pot first?"

Gu Tingyi smiled slightly and said: "You are young, you vote first."

Minglan: "Thank you sister."

After saying that, Minglan stared at the throwing pot in the distance,

After taking aim

Whoosh

At the entrance of Shou'an Hall,

Before Wei Shuyi entered the main hall, he heard Wang Ruofu's voice inside: "Ouch! Master Sanqing! He jumped into the water in such a cold day."

What Ping Mei was talking about was about the canal transport soldiers he saw on the edge of the canal catching bandits. Naturally, Wang and Hualan were listening intently, and the old lady also looked interested. When Ping Mei mentioned those soldiers After waiting for a while, he jumped into the water and nodded approvingly: "The leader of the army is a man of success."

At this time, Liu's mother walked in and said, "Old Madam, Madam, Miss Wei is here."

Mrs. Wang waved her handkerchief and said, "Quick, let her in." Mother Liu at the door turned sideways and said, "My dear, please."

Wei Shuyi lowered his head and walked forward slowly. Without making any movement, the old lady said, "You are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite. Move to a seat."

After hearing this, Wei Shuyi raised his head, bowed slightly and said: "I, Wei Shuyi, would like to thank the old lady for your understanding and giving me a seat. I have met the eldest lady, eldest sister, and distinguished guest!".

After Cui's mother put down a wider embroidery pier, Wei Shuyi thanked Cui's mother again before sitting on it. Then Wei Shuyi felt Pingmei's gaze. She looked over with a slight smile and found that Pingmei was looking at her. Mei's eyes were full of curiosity, admiration, inquiry and a little surprise.

Moreover, Pingmei's eyes seemed to recognize Wei Shuyi, which made Wei Shuyi feel a little puzzled. At the same time, this unexpected situation also made her feel a little at a loss, wondering whether what she did was right or wrong.

Wei Shuyi lowered his head slowly, not daring to say anything more.

Mrs. Sheng looked at Pingmei with some doubts in her heart but did not say anything. She patted Pingmei casually. Pingmei woke up from Wei Shuyi's surprise at her appearance and said: "My dear, when you left the pavilion before, you gave me I like the embroidery paintings very much."

Wei Shuyi said nothing. She raised her head and glanced at Wang. Wang looked at Wei Shuyi in confusion:? ?

After a moment to understand what Wei Shu wanted to express, she smiled helpfully and said, "Just say it, you don't have to look at me."

At this time, Wei Shuyi bowed his head and said: "Back to Madam, in fact, this is what the eldest lady ordered. The eldest lady said that it is a great joy for the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion to come out of the palace, and the family should send some thoughts to share the happiness of the Hou Mansion. He also said that my embroidery skills are good, so I specially ordered me to embroider the picture of Five Blessings with Plum Blossoms."

Wang looked at Pingmei's grateful eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, this Wei is very handy."

Pingmei smiled and nodded and said: "What Auntie said is that this young lady is very skillful with her hands. I got that embroidery painting. Before I left the pavilion, my little sister often went to see it. When she arrived at the Hou Mansion, she was even a member of Lian Jingzhong. The old embroiderer was also full of praise for this stitching technique, saying that she had seen it a long time ago and wonders where she learned this technique?"

"Go back to my wife, my grandmother's ancestral home is on South Guangdong Road. My ancestor was once ordered to work as an embroiderer in the palace. I have learned 10% or 20% of it." After Wei Shuyi finished speaking respectfully, Wang glanced at Liu in surprise. Mom, Mother Liu didn't know either. Back then she only knew that the fathers of the Wei family were the ones who taught us, but these ancestors really didn't ask.

Hua Lan looked at Wei Shuyi with a little surprise in his eyes.

Pingmei looked at Wei Shuyi, thinking about what Wei Yuyi said in Chuzhou, and secretly thought that the one or two percent that Wei Xiaoniang said was probably not the 'one or two percent' that she had realized after inheriting all the skills from her ancestors. .

After hearing these words, the old lady turned around and looked at her mother Fang. Sure enough, mother Fang also glanced at the old lady, with a hint of asking for instructions in her eyes. The old lady knew that mother Fang liked embroidery skills, but the old lady had restricted her before. In the courtyard, everything given by Sheng Hong's concubine was not accepted, but Wei Shu was not found interested.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Mom, Sister Ping, Xiaodie is right outside the door. Why don't you ask her to come in? The Liu family just asked, most likely..."

"Let me in." The old lady nodded slightly.

Hearing this, the little girl at the door said hello. Xiaodie walked to the main hall cautiously. After she finished her salute, Mother Liu said: "Miss Xiaodie, please say it again."

after awhile,

After hearing this, the old lady sighed and said, "Ruan, go with her to meet the brother of the Zhu family, so that the child can feel at ease."
