Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her hand and touched the hairpin in her hair, smiled slightly and said, "The prince said that this hairpin has a good meaning, so he asked me to wear it. I think the style is not bad, and I like it quite a lot." "
After Yun Shang finished speaking, Shen Yilan took her and sat down next to the ladies in Washington. As soon as Fang sat down, she saw servants entering the room, "Everyone is well, the eldest princess is preparing in the yard. I made a little game and invited all the guests to join in."
Luo Qingyan's aunt heard this and said with a smile, "Let the young people participate in those games. We old ladies can't play anymore."
The servant hurriedly said, "Mrs. Hua is serious. There is no need to play the game today. Two people are in groups and the game is drinking order. You can't choose your own group. Let's play a small game to see our luck. , let’s see who we’re paired with.”
"Oh?" When they were young, all the ladies here were ladies who knew all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Naturally, they are not afraid of this simple drinking order. However, hearing that the luck-based grouping method is a bit novel, they all With some interest, he said, "Look at luck? This is novel, but I don't know how to rely on this luck?"
The servant hurriedly said, "Every guest, please come with me."
Everyone looked at each other and followed the servant out the door with a smile. As soon as they went out, they couldn't help but exclaimed. A light mist enveloped Merlin outside the house.
The servant hurriedly walked to the plum grove and said with a smile, "Now there is fog in the plum grove. We have put fifteen red lines in the plum grove. It just so happens that there are ten men and women in our plum garden. Please invite five ladies and five The young masters stood together at the plum grove on the left hand side of the young one, holding a red thread at random, and the other ten young masters stood at the plum grove on the right hand side, holding a red thread at random."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, raised her eyes and looked at each other with Luo Qingyan. Both of them had a flash of coldness in their eyes. Yun Shang had been fooled by Hua Jing's poisonous trick in Qianshui Pavilion, so she had this fog in her heart. I somewhat doubt that there is something fishy in this plum forest.
Everyone was quite cooperative. Shen Yilan pulled Yun Shang and her two aunts to stand together. Su Ruying hurriedly ran to Yun Shang and stood next to her. Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang and smiled. , and stood on the other side. When the others saw this, they all took their positions according to the servant's instructions, and each took a red thread. Yun Shang quietly scratched the end of the red thread with his finger, and a drop of red The blood drops rolled down along the red thread Yun Shang was holding.
"Have you all chosen the red thread in your hands?" the servant asked softly.
Everyone agreed, and the servant smiled and said, "Then the servant will ask someone to remove this fog?" After saying that, he ordered the people on the side to carry the brazier that had been prepared and walked into the plum forest. , within a moment, the fog disappeared. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, this should not be fog, but just some water mist sprayed in the plum forest. Jincheng is humid, and it is the middle of winter, the coldest one. At that time, the water mist formed fog.
"The fog has dissipated. Please take a look at the other end of the red line to see who will play the next game with you." The servant said with a genuine smile.
Everyone did not move. After a long while, Mrs. Hua smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? It's just a game." After saying that, she loosened the red thread and said, "Look, who is with me?"
Everyone on the other side also pulled the red thread in their hands, and the other woman laughed loudly, "Why is it difficult for Madam Hua to come with me? I heard that Madam Hua was a famous and talented woman in Jincheng when she was in her boudoir. If you are not good at chess, calligraphy and painting, you must have Mrs. Laohua." After saying that, he took the red thread in his hand and walked out, and the other end was indeed the one that Mrs. Hua had just loosened.
Shen Yilan also smiled and loosened the red thread. The pull on the other side was actually Liu Yinfeng and Shen Yilan. Shen Yilan suddenly became very happy, "Oh, I took advantage this time, Master Liu." , thank you very much for this time."
Liu Yinfeng smiled and nodded, his eyes lightly passing over Yun Shang before landing on Shen Yilan, "Mrs. Hua is so polite."
Then two or three more people found their game partners. Yun Shang waited and saw no one let go, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll do it." After saying that, he let go.
"Oh, no, my hand slipped." Su Ruying hurriedly screamed, with a hint of panic in her voice.
The person opposite pulled the red thread in his hand, Luo Qingyan paused, and the man Yun Shang didn't recognize also said, "Well, it seems I have one here."
It's just that the red threads of Yun Shang and Su Ruying were mixed up, and everyone was a little confused about where to start. A woman on the other side smiled and said, "I heard that Prince Rui and Princess Rui are both talented, but we can't let the two of them do it again. If we are in a group, then we have no chance of winning at all."
Yun Shang looked at Su Ruying and said with a smile, "Miss Su is not necessarily worse than this princess. Besides, I have always heard of Xia Guo Chongwen, so there must be many masters. Let's follow the rules." Yun Shang said. Then she went to straighten the two red threads and said with a smile, "Although I and Miss Su loosened the red threads at the same time, it is not impossible to identify them. Just now, I accidentally cut my hand when holding the red threads." "Yes, so there are blood stains on the red thread that this princess is holding." Yun Shang raised one of the threads with a smile, then spread her hands, "Do you think there is blood on this?"
Everyone looked at Yun Shang's injury, and saw that there was indeed a scratch on her left index finger. There was also a thick red line on top of it that was darker than other places. It did look like a blood stain, and the mark continued to spread. Touch about an inch away.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yun Shang smiled and pulled the blood-stained red thread in her hand, and said with a smile, "This is the one for the princess."
The other end of the red thread that Yun Shang was pulling was Luo Qingyan. From the corner of Yun Shang's eyes, she saw that Su Ruying's face had become a little distorted, and the smile on her face was a bit forced.
Luo Qingyan frowned slightly, put away the red thread and walked to Yun Chang's side. His voice was cold and authentic, "Why are you so careless?" After saying that, he put away Yun Chang's injured hand that was still bleeding with blood. He sucked it into his mouth, then turned to look at the servant aside and said, "Is there any medicine for the wound?"
Yun Shang said quickly, "It doesn't matter, I have the medicine with me, and it's very effective." After saying that, he asked Qian Zui, who was standing by, to get the medicine. Luo Qingyan took the medicine bottle and poured some. The medicine man carefully applied some on Yun Shang's hands.
The rest of the people also found people to play with them. The talent then said, "Here, everyone, please, we have set up things in the pavilion above, and we will have a drinking game in the plum garden first. The winner will win." Then he will fight on behalf of our Meiyuan to face the other winners from the Orchid Garden, Bamboo Garden, and Juyuan."
The servant led everyone to a small pavilion on the second floor next to the plum garden. There were tables, chairs, wine, food and a stove. There were also musicians playing music outside the pavilion. As soon as everyone sat down, the servant walked aside. , said loudly, "Let's play a slightly less difficult game first, the Flower, Bird, Insect, and Fish Order. The slave chooses one of the Flower, Bird, Insect, and Fish Order. For example, if you choose the Flower Order, you just say the name of the flower. No repetitions are allowed, and you stay aside. There is drumming. If the drum sounds more than five times and the name is not announced, it is considered a loser. If you lose, you will be fined one drink and will not participate in the subsequent drinking orders until the last person wins."
This was the simplest drinking order. Everyone nodded. The servant smiled and said, "Let Mr. Liu next to me be the first."
With that, the drumming started, and the commander shouted, "Bird order."
Liu Yinfeng then said, "Magpie." Then Shen Yilan, who was in Liu Yinfeng's group, said quickly, "Crow."
The first round went very smoothly. Everyone reported the name of the bird very quickly. In the second round, people gradually began to be eliminated. Until the end, only Luo Qingyan, Yun Shang, and others were left in the field. Su Ruying, Liu Yinfeng and Shen Yilan.
"Pulsatilla..." Shen Yilan said with a smile.
"Emperor..." As soon as Yun Shang said one word, he heard a shrill scream in the distance. Everyone quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.
Because the pavilion was in a higher place in the princess's residence, the field of view was quite wide. Yun Shang saw a mess in a small courtyard in the distance, but it was far away and could not clearly see what happened. What? Yun Shang looked at it carefully. According to what the servant said, the princess's mansion should have four courtyards with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. There was a golden patch there, which she thought should be the chrysanthemum garden.
The servant who was standing in front of the commanding officer was also stunned, and then said quickly, "Guests, there is no need to panic. I will send someone immediately to see what happened in Juyuan. We..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard another very sad voice coming over, seemingly with a bit of panic, "Let me go, you crazy woman!"
Yun Shang saw the expression on the servant who had been trying to remain calm just now change, and said in silence, "It's the eldest princess."
He hurriedly ran out of the pavilion and went downstairs.
Everyone in the pavilion looked at each other, and Luo Qingyan just stood up and said, "Let's go and see what happened."
Everyone agreed and stood up one after another and left the Plum Garden. A few people who had attended several small banquets at the Princess's Mansion were very familiar with the Princess' Mansion, so they led everyone to the Juyuan.
When I arrived at the gate of Juyuan, I heard various sounds coming from inside, including the voices of women screaming, the voices of people persuading, and the voices of men cursing. It was very lively. If you listen carefully, you can see that everything they said was very lively. The scolding words of the shrews in the market, such as bitches and sluts, are unpalatable to the ears.
Everyone looked at each other and walked into the chrysanthemum garden. As soon as they entered the chrysanthemum garden, they saw that the eldest princess's clothes were torn in a mess. The big cloak she was wearing fell to the ground, and her long skirt was also torn. Another woman who was a little embarrassed was Mrs. Liu. (To be continued)
