At that moment, someone suggested that each of the girls present should take out an item at random and put it in the box to use it as the final prize.
have to!
Not only do you have to participate in a game that you don't know how to play, but you also have to give up something.
Although Qiao Yuyan is not a miser, she is not someone who is reluctant to part with things.
But I felt a little speechless when I followed him to pay for things inexplicably.
It was Song Yuwei who said quickly: "Today everyone is here to have a wedding banquet at my house. It is absolutely impossible to let the sisters get the lottery. If grandma finds out later, she will say that I am ignorant."
This is true. If the girl from the Song family wins, wouldn't it mean that she is just sitting on the ground begging for something?
"In my opinion, if we don't want any luck, let's ask the last one to receive a penalty! We don't want to punish anything embarrassing. Today is the full moon of the Song family's young master, so let's ask the last one to go to the pool at the other end alone.
Here, I picked a lotus flower by myself and gave it to the young master to play with, so that we can celebrate his birthday together!"
Song Yuwei nodded repeatedly, "This is a good idea, so let's do it!"
They were just having fun together, but why were they really chasing the prize? At that moment, the little girls became excited. Song Yuwei quickly ordered the maid and mother-in-law to clean up the place, and asked people to get the amphorae and blunt-headed feathers.
arrow.
Qiao Yurong was a little worried about her cousin now, "Sister, you can't miss all the shots, can you?"
Qiao Yuyan looked at the lines drawn on the ground and the pot placed not far away, and spread her hands helplessly, "I've really never played before."
In fact, it's not right to say that. When she was a child, she saw her uncle and her cousins playing, and she tried it once, but her cousin got into a fight with her and said that it was impossible for her to make a shot.
She was unconvinced and thought it was very simple. She immediately threw three shots in front of everyone. The result was exactly as her cousin said, none of them hit, and she didn't even hit the bottle.
At that time, she had a bad temper and a very strong temper, so she ran away crying. Although her cousin later apologized to her, she never touched this thing again.
Who would have thought that we would encounter this situation again.
Seeing her expression, Qiao Yurong could only comfort her, "Don't worry too much. They are all a group of little girls. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you lose, you will just break off the lotus pods. There must be someone watching over there. Just give the instructions."
Just one sentence, no need for you to get into the water."
He actually comforted her. Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh. How could she take such a trivial matter to her heart?
"Don't worry! I'm not that weak."
When Qiao Yurong heard what she said, she remembered that her cousin usually managed hundreds of servants, and her mind was very different from that of a little girl like her, so she scratched her head in embarrassment.
While the two sisters were talking, two amphorae were already placed in the room, and the maids of the Song family also began to distribute feather arrows to each of them, ten for each person.
"How could such a fun game be without me? Even if I'm late, I should have waited."
A refreshing female voice sounded at the top of the stairs. When everyone looked, it was the eldest daughter of the Shen family who came up together with two other girls.
Qiao Yuyan recognized the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Jing, but they had never had any interactions with each other.
It's just that at any party where young girls gather, she can always attract people's attention immediately.
That's because she doesn't like the simple and subtle dress nowadays, so she needs to be gorgeous and stand out. If she stands in a crowd, it will be difficult for her to recognize her.
Only this time, they came up together, but Qiao Yuyan's eyes couldn't help but fall on the two girls behind her who were dressed more normally.
Although the two of them were dressed in an ordinary way, their demeanor was completely different from everyone else's.
Qiao Yuyan quietly observed and soon discovered that after the two people came up, they were not at all embarrassed or restrained. The way they looked at the others was too natural, and they even looked like they were looking at something.
Song Yuwei was about to say hello to Miss Shen when her eyes fell on the two girls. She suddenly looked stern and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Miss Shen.
"Yu Wei, don't be too polite. We don't need to be like this. These are my two cousins. They saw me coming today and wanted to join in the fun. Don't think I'm nosy."
Shen Jing wore a maroon double-breasted short coat with flowing cloud patterns embroidered with golden silk thread. She combed a handful of green silk into a high bun, with a double row of tassel hairpins at the end of the bun. As usual, she was gorgeous and elegant. Noble, more neat and cheerful.
Her arrival naturally attracted most of the attention on the field.
Qiao Yuyan noticed that some little girls in the crowd looked a little strange, but their eyes were not on Shen Jing, but on the two cousins next to her.
This confirmed her suspicion.
General Shen held a large number of troops and was deeply trusted by the emperor. The Shen family also had a high status in Beijing.
Shen Jing also had an aunt who was granted the title of imperial concubine, but unfortunately she died early and passed away after giving birth to only one princess.
But even so, the fact that the Shen family is related to the royal family is a certainty.
At this time, the noble ladies with higher status in the family looked at Shen Jing's two cousins more respectfully than they looked at her, and they were ready to reveal their identities.
Naturally, the royal family must not be offended. Since they came out incognito, she just pretended not to know.
"The girls from the Qiao family don't come out very often, but at the beginning of our founding of the country, Uncle Zhongyong made great contributions on horseback. I think the girls from the Qiao family should be better than our sisters in throwing pots!"
Shen Jing's conversation suddenly shifted from the pleasantries with other people to Qiao Yuyan, and she looked straight at him.
Qiao Yuyan met her eyes and clearly saw the provocation in them, and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"I'm really ashamed to say it. I'm afraid that I will really embarrass my ancestors. It's really impossible to throw pots and ride horses." Qiao Yuyan replied with a smile, honestly admitting that she didn't know how to do it.
Shen Jing shook her head and said with a smile: "As soon as you hear it, you will know that this is a self-effacing statement, so be it! Miss Qiao, I will compete with you. I will give you five arrows. As long as you invest more arrows than me, you will win." ,how?"
Well, why are you competing with her?
Qiao Yuyan narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled and waved her hands, "Miss Shen misunderstood, I am not modest, I am really not good at skills. If I really want to compete with Miss Shen, I don't even need to hold an arrow, so I can admit defeat first."
"Three!" Shen Jing thought she didn't hear what she said, so she pointed out three fingers, "I gave you seven arrows, but I only took three, and you still have ten."
Qiao Yuyan still shook her head, but there was only a very faint smile on her face, "Miss Shen really praises me. You are the only daughter of General Shen. Who in the capital doesn't say something about your style? How can I be with you?" You compare?"
The girls who were still discussing pot throwing now became quiet and looked at Shen Jing with worry. This chapter has been completed!
