Chapter 1602: Tiger Girl 86
Seeing the noble ladies nervously and excitedly handing the peach branches they received to the next noble lady, Xi Ning sighed secretly.
In fact, this kind of game is the easiest to cheat. The drummer seems to be blindfolded, but in fact he can still tell which person it is handed to from the remaining seams in the cloth. Or if someone secretly reminds them, they will stop beating the drum, and the people on the left and right will push the ball hard and pick it up slowly. The person in the middle will be several times more likely to win the bid.
I also made a fuss about the bamboo stick buckets I took out, and specially prepared two, one is normal, and the other has all the bamboo sticks written with the opponent's weaknesses.
On the other hand, if you want to please others, you can do the same thing, but all the signs will write down the other person's strengths.
That's why the young master Changfu of Zhongfeng, who was in decline and had no old man to rely on anymore, made a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Xining received the peach branch from Zhao Yingxue and lazily handed it to the next family. The first one would definitely not be her. If it was her from the beginning and the one picked was a weak point, people would suspect that it was deliberately targeting her.
Liu Ruxu saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel a chill in her eyes.
When Taozhi turned around and reached the head of Jiashun County, the drum beat stopped.
Liu Ruxu smiled and said: "The first one is the Lord of Jiashun County. Sure enough, the County Lord is number one no matter where he is."
With a double entendre, he slapped a rainbow fart hard. The Lord of Jiashun County could only smile and went to draw lots, and randomly picked out a stick with "painting" written on it.
Xining wanted to laugh when he heard the maid loudly announce: "The Lord of Jiashun County has drawn a painting!"
The Lord of Jiashun County also stroked his chest and rejoiced: "Fortunately, the one I won was a painting, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself."
Liu Ruxu hurriedly said: "The county master is a relative of the emperor. With God's blessing, all his wishes will come true."
Xining rolled his eyes and thought that his wish would come true. The Lord of Jiashun County wanted to be the third prince's concubine, and it would come true!
The head of Jiashun County, who was very amused, picked up the pen he had prepared and "showed off his shame" on the spot, and quickly painted peach trees and stones.
Xining was almost drunk. This was a versatile piece, except that when appreciating plum blossoms, the plum blossoms were painted, and when appreciating peach blossoms, pink peach blossoms were painted on the dotted flowers. In the future, if you appreciate osmanthus, it will probably be a little yellow, that is the osmanthus flower.
Liu Ruxu and the other ladies naturally agreed and continued playing.
This time, the fourth lady of the Zhou family, the Minister of Finance, received the peach branch. She had "bad luck" and got the "Dance".
Miss Zhou, who was good at calligraphy and painting, didn't know how to dance, so she had to bite the bullet, put on her sleeves and wave a few times. The scene was simply too horrible to watch, no less than Mr. Chang's sword dance, the movements were stiff and unusual.
All the ladies couldn't help but laugh, and some of them simply couldn't hide it.
Then the other two noble ladies drew poems and books that were not difficult. One made a poem on the spot that was not outstanding but still passable, and the other wrote a poem.
There were good luck, bad luck, and bad luck. Xining knew that it would be her turn soon.
The maid was beating the drum quickly, and she was waiting for the signal... Another maid standing behind her would just tap her back secretly with her finger, and she would immediately stop playing the drum.
Suddenly she felt someone poke her in the back and she stopped immediately.
Because her eyes were covered with cloth, she couldn't see. Then I heard the maid behind me shout loudly: "Miss Liu of Tai Tu's Mansion has been selected!"
Why is it not Zhao Yinghong from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, but my own lady? Probably the eldest lady also wants to show her face.
Xining saw it clearly, like a maid delivering food. When she came, she flicked her fingers at the maid playing the drum, and the drum sound stopped. Liu Ruxu couldn't help but feel a little angry and glared at the maid standing behind the drummer. How? The branch was in her hand.
After bringing the lottery tube over, Liu Ruxu stretched out her hand and randomly picked out a branch. She was dumbfounded when she saw it.
The maid who was responsible for shouting also felt something was wrong at this time, and her young lady's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
The Lord of Jiashun County who was sitting next to him snatched it over. When he saw the words on the bamboo stick, he burst out laughing: "It's dance!"
Liu Ruxu was so angry that she was half dead. How did these people do things? Why did you bring the lotus tube with "Dance" written all over it? When you saw that she had won, you should have brought the lotus tube with the poem written on it.
But even though she had already won the lottery, Liu Ruxu could only stand up and said: "I'm not good at dancing, so I volunteered to be punished with three drinks!"
After speaking, he held a wine glass in one hand and a wine flask in the other. After pouring three glasses of wine, he sat down.
After drinking this wine, Liu Ruxu's cheeks turned a lot red, and Miss Zhou's eyes also turned a lot red. He didn't say that he could drink to cope with it and watch her make a fool of herself on the spot.
Xining sighed slightly, he was really bullied. Miss Zhou is very nice, has a good temper, and is good at calligraphy and painting. However, the Zhou family's official position is a bit low, so it will be embarrassing to find someone else, and she will not be high enough.
She whispered to Zhao Yingxue sitting next to her: "I'm going back first."
Zhao Yingxue was startled, suppressed her heart that was about to jump out again, and forced herself to calm down: "Okay, why are you going back?"
Xining said calmly: "I don't know anything, and I can't drink, and I will be looked down upon if I cheat, so I'm bored and went back."
Zhao Yingxue was so anxious that she winked at the maid waiting beside her. There are many maids serving here, one standing next to each table.
The maid naturally heard everything Zhao Yinghong said. When she saw Zhao Yingxue winking, she immediately stepped back slowly and left quietly.
Zhao Yingxue said: "It's rare for the third sister to come out once, so let's play for a while. This is almost the end of the fun, and it should be over soon."
At this time, the tea was served. Liu Ruxu picked up the tea bowl and saw a piece of paper pressed at the bottom of the bowl. She quickly pinched it with her fingers and withdrew her hand as if nothing happened.
After taking a sip of scented tea, he secretly glanced at the note, raised his head and said with a smile: "We've almost finished the game, let's serve food and wine."
Then plates of finely crafted dishes were served, and a woman began to play the piano to add to the fun.
Zhao Yingxue saw that Xi Ning was not moving and couldn't help but wonder: "Why doesn't Third Sister eat?"
Come on, even Zhao Yingyue dared to give her laxatives, wouldn't he dare to give her some medicine too?
Basically all the noble sons and daughters are here today. If she is caught having "drunk sex" or having "private relationships" with Zhao Chengzong, then she will have to break off the engagement with Zhou Zexian and marry Zhao Chengzong due to pressure. .
So I would rather go hungry than eat anything. Anyway, she was in her room before coming out, but she didn't come out until she was full. In order to reduce the chance of going to the toilet, I didn't even dare to drink more water. If you are really thirsty or hungry, just excuse yourself by saying you are not feeling well and leave.
Liu Ruxu was also surprised: "Why don't Miss Zhao San use it? Do you think the dishes are not exquisite enough, or do you prefer dim sum? I was at Prince Duan's Mansion before, but I was full of praise for the dim sum there."
At that time, he ate all the snacks on the table for the guests in one go.
Xining replied calmly: "The dishes are exquisite, and you can tell they are delicious just by looking at them. But I really have no appetite, and it makes me feel uncomfortable after eating them."
