Chapter four hundred and ninetieth test throwing pot
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the pavilion, Yu Ting pulled Ji Mingxuan who was standing next to him. The two exchanged glances. Ji Mingxuan hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
Yu Ting couldn't help but feel angry, Ji Mingxuan was too timid.
"Master Gu! Why don't you invite me first?" Qin Min bowed to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu shook his head and said, "Prince Qin should clear it first! I heard that Prince Qin is both civilized and military, so it won't be difficult for you to throw the pot. It will also open my eyes to me."
Gu Chengyu didn't mean it in a polite way, Qin Min was considered a famous figure in the capital, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was both civil and military.
However, Gu Chengyu didn't know how good this man was in martial arts, since he had never fought against him before.
Qin Min smiled. It was not difficult for him to throw the pot. There was no guarantee that he would hit the target perfectly. No matter how bad he was, he would still be successful.
Therefore, he was not modest. He was about to serve as the commander of the Jingwei Command and Envoy Department.
If you can't even throw the pot well, wouldn't it be a joke?
Gu Chengyu focused his attention on the pot on the ground. It was a beautifully made pot.
The neck of the pot is seven inches long, the diameter is two and a half inches, and the height of the pot is one foot and two inches.
The gilt copper has an animal mask pattern, and there are two ears on both sides of the spout, which gives it a sense of history.
This should be a pot left over from the previous dynasty. Gu Chengyu had to sigh that the family's heritage should not be underestimated. Even the pot used for throwing pots was an antique.
Qin Min took the arrows without arrows handed over by the boy on the side, a total of ten.
Qin Min looked at the mouth of the pot, stood a little distance from the mouth of the pavilion, and was about to start throwing the pot, but was interrupted.
"Huh? Wait! There's no point in just throwing the pot like this!"
Gu Chengyu also heard the sound and looked over, and it turned out to be Zhou Yuewei.
"Yeah! There has to be some luck, right? General Macro hit seven arrows in a row! Even Master Min hit six arrows. I think it's interesting to have some luck." At this time, there was a man in bright red.
The young man wearing the robe also suggested.
Zheng Lun squeezed in beside Gu Chengyu and introduced him: "This is Shao Lin, the eldest son of Shao Qian in Shuntian Prefecture. He is very good at playing."
Gu Chengyu nodded and understood what Zheng Lun was saying. He was very playful and probably meant a playboy who liked to eat, drink and have fun. However, Shao Qian? Burning money?
Qin Min put down his raised right arm and said, "I don't care. Macro and Shao Lin's proposal is good. Do you still want to play together?"
Qin Min called Zhou Yuewei by his first name, so it seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.
Gu Chengyu remembered that Lu Chen had just said that Zhou Yuewei was the eldest son of Zhou Zhou, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. His father was only a fifth-rank official, but he could play with the Qin Shizi. Zhou Yuewei was not a fun-loving master like he appeared on the surface. He should be quite
Will dig into the camp.
Speaking of the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, Gu Chengyu thought that Yao Qingcheng, the second master of Zhenguo Palace, was also a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. The teacher said that Yao Mengxian had also received the post, and she should be among the female relatives today.
"Count me in. Although Prince Qin's skills are superb, I'm not afraid. As long as I don't come in last, I don't have to worry about being punished."
Zhou Yuewei was the first to sign up. He likes to join in the fun. And he has confidence in himself. Anyway, he won't get the last place.
"Count me in too."
Gu Chengyu glanced at Min Feng, then at Qionghua opposite, and became convinced.
Because they heard that the male guests were going to have a pot throwing competition, the female family members also turned their attention to the Huxin Pavilion. Gu Chengyu had good eyesight and actually saw Yao Mengxian in the gap blocked by the trees.
Among the female relatives, he only knew Yao Mengxian and Wu Jinyan, the daughter of Senior Brother Wu, and did not recognize the others.
"Master Gu made an agreement with us just now, but we still have to count as one?"
Gu Chengyu nodded and agreed. He said that he had just agreed, could he still break his promise?
As for Lu Chen, Qin Min didn't ask. They were familiar with each other, so there was no need to ask more questions.
"Is there anyone else who wants to participate in the competition? If not, I'll say it's a lottery."
Qin Min asked again, and then three more people participated. One was Shao Lin, and the other two were Qian Jing, the eldest son of Qian Lizong, the current left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Qian Lizong was originally the Chief Envoy of Fengding Prefecture from the Third Grade, and he took over Hu Maoshen's position after Hu Maoshen was promoted to the Imperial Envoy of Youdu.
There is another person, You Yinan, the son of You Shaofeng, Zuo Tongzheng, the Secretary of General Affairs. Both of them are not very old.
Not all of the people at the flower viewing party were unmarried, there were also some who were married, but the number was not large. Those like this were all sons of aristocratic families who had a good relationship with the prince or the young master of the house.
Counting this way, there must be eight people.
"Then what is the lottery?" All the young men present were concerned about what the lottery was, and they were all just joining in the fun.
Yu Ting was originally eager to try, but unfortunately his skill in throwing pots was not good. He could hit three out of ten pots, which was considered good.
Ji Mingxuan has always been insensitive to the hut-throwing skill. His father is only a fifth-level official, and he doesn't have many opportunities to attend banquets. Therefore, his skill in hut-throwing is naturally not good.
It was precisely because he had no chance to make friends with those aristocratic families that he would follow those people's mischief, just hoping to cling to someone's lap.
This was the first time he received a post about the flower viewing party this year, but he had not received it in previous years. His father was originally from the fifth rank, and the princess might not look down on such an official position, so he only received the post this year.
He glanced at Prince Qin and the others, thinking about how to make friends later.
Seeing that Yu Ting, who had just screamed for joy, was now shrinking back, I felt disdainful.
"What suggestions do you have for the lottery?" Qin Min also became interested. He is the host, so he will naturally pay a share of the lottery.
Zhou Yuewei spoke up at this time, "Why don't we all participate and give something as a bonus!"
Qin Min was noncommittal, "I think it's feasible. What do you think?"
Gu Chengyu took a look at the jade pendant and purse on his body. He went out today and didn't have many accessories hanging on his body. This jade pendant was of good quality, but he wasn't stingy and reluctant to part with it. It was just that it had his cousin's name on it.
This jade pendant was custom-made for him by his second sister. It is in the style of eternal wealth. However, with the word "Jin Yu" engraved on it, it is not suitable for a lucky charm.
The purse was sewn by his second sister herself. His second sister's craftsmanship cannot be given away, and the purse is not suitable as a lottery ticket. Not to mention the golden crown on his head. He can't let his hair be disheveled, right?
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and then he could only use the cover of his purse to take out a jade pendant from the space. Although it was a bit abrupt to take it out like this, others would not think that he had a space.
This hesitation only lasted for a moment, and Gu Chengyu nodded in agreement. But this hesitant look fell into Qin Min's eyes. He estimated that Gu Chengyu was a little inconvenient, but Gu Chengyu later agreed, so he would not say much.
"I just got a pair of mutton-fat jade chess pieces. It shouldn't be too shabby to use this as a lottery ticket, right?" Qin Min said with a smile.
The mutton-fat jade chess pieces were obtained by his predecessor with great difficulty. Chess pieces polished from mutton-fat jade are rare.
