Four hundred and ninetieth chapters too lazy to name
"Xiao Liu, go get my set of chess pieces."
When Gu Chengyu heard that Qin Min was so determined, it seemed that he couldn't just deal with it. He took the purse from his body and took out a small safety buckle from it. This was the piece he picked at random from the space just now.
But this safety buckle is not a cheap item, it is a piece of blood jade.
Lu Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Gu Chengyu taking out a piece of blood jade.
"Are you sure you want to use this as a lottery ticket?"
"Jin Yu! This thing is a bit rare! Are you too reluctant to give it up?" Zhu Pang came over to take a look and couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Chengyu.
This thing is no worse than the mutton-fat jade chess piece. Although it is only such a small piece, the safety buckle is blood red all over and the color is extremely bright.
Even Gu Chengyu wanted to compete, but with Qin Min around, there was little chance of winning. Zhu Pang didn't know much about Gu Chengyu's martial arts level. He had never seen Gu Chengyu demonstrate it, and only heard Gu Chengyu say that it was possible.
As for the pot throwing, Gu Chengyu showed his incompetence when competing with his classmates. Later, they only played once with a few friends, and Gu Chengyu didn't try his best. But he had confidence in Gu Chengyu, because Gu Chengyu didn't use his full strength and completely tortured them, but Qin Min and Lu Chen
Gu Chengyu only took a piece at random. This piece was not very good in terms of space, but it was still above average. After all, it was too shabby.
"You don't want to compete? This is a lot of good stuff!" Gu Chengyu gently teased Zhu Pang.
Zhu Pang has always liked these jade antiques. If they are smart and cute, Zhu Pang will not be able to resist. Therefore, Zhu Pang took a lot of Gu Chengyu's things. However, Zhu Pang often exchanged his collection with him.
.
"Ahem! I'd better forget it! You don't know yet, right? Not only is Qin Shizi good at throwing pots, but even Mr. Lu is not weak."
Zhu Pang still knew something about himself. He had no chance of winning against those people. Even Zhou Yuewei had a better chance of winning than him.
Zheng Lun stroked his forehead, Jin Yu was too honest. However, Jin Yu had money, so he shouldn't feel bad.
Everyone else took off a piece of the jade pendant hanging on their body. If it can be worn to participate in the flower viewing party, it must be good. Even if it is not as good as Qin Min's suet jade chess piece and Gu Chengyu's blood jade safety buckle,
That's not too bad.
"Are they preparing to compete in pot throwing?"
The eldest princess and her ladies came to the foot of the Qionghua tree and saw the girls looking towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake opposite.
"See Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" The girls who were looking at the Huxin Pavilion saw that the eldest princess and their elders were coming, and they quickly stepped forward to salute.
"No need to be polite!"
Yao Mengxian set her sights on the eldest princess. Princess Rongjia inherited her beauty from the princess. She is a beautiful lady. Even though she has given birth to three children, her charm is still there. She is dressed in a colorful palace dress with dark flowers and brocade, which just sets off the beauty.
Her noble charm.
"Mom! My eldest brother is competing with them in pot throwing! I just sent someone to inquire, saying there is still a chance of winning."
"Oh? Who is that young man standing next to Min'er? He looks a bit unfamiliar." Upon hearing this, the eldest princess also became interested.
She walked a few steps forward, looked towards the Huxin Pavilion, and found Gu Chengyu standing on Qin Min's side. Except for those from small families, she had basically seen the children of all the major families in the capital.
Princess Rongjia walked to the eldest princess and stood next to her, "That's Mr. Gu, Gu Chengyu, the former assistant Liang Zhirui's young disciple."
The eldest princess was a little surprised. She thought this person was the child of some small official family, but she didn't expect it to be Gu Chengyu, who proposed the tea tax.
"When you said this, I remembered it. I did send a message to the Gu family in the past, but Mr. Gu looked younger, and he looked better than Pan An as rumored. However, he and Miss Yao San should be
It can be considered to have some origins.”
The third girl Yao that the eldest princess was referring to was naturally Yao Mengxian. Yao Mengxian went to the eldest princess to see her and unexpectedly won her favor. The eldest princess had some pity for this little girl and asked a few questions. She also thought that this girl had a good character.
"Your Majesty, that's right! My maternal grandfather was Mr. Gu's mentor." Yao Mengxian noticed her and hurriedly stepped forward to reply.
"There is no need to be formal. I heard that Mr. Gu has a graceful literary talent, and he can recite poems and compose poems. He is also quite accomplished in calligraphy, but calligraphy is a bit difficult to find."
Ke's chest couldn't help but feel a little heaving when he saw the eldest princess treating Yao Mengxian so kindly.
In the past, this girl was dull, and she thought she had a good temper. But recently it has become more and more difficult to deal with. Now she has the favor of the princess. If she often comes to the princess's house in the future, she will have to think twice about touching her.
Ke took a deep breath. There was no need to rush this. He would make a long-term plan after returning to his residence.
Gu Chengyu is already well-known, and the eldest princess likes Gu Chengyu's calligraphy very much. Unfortunately, Gu Chengyu's facial expressions are extremely difficult to learn, and not many of Gu Chengyu's calligraphy have been circulated, so it is difficult to find copybooks.
The eldest princess has decided to ask Gu Chengyu to write a handwriting later, so that she and Sister Yuan can copy it.
"How many people are competing in the pot throwing competition? Since there is a lottery, why not join in the fun? Let's do it! I will also contribute, and I will take the small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet."
Princess Rongjia quickly stopped her, "Mom! My second brother has been interested in that bracelet for a long time. Qian'er even said that my father didn't wear it anymore, so he asked you to give it to him to play with!"
The eldest princess waved her hand, "He likes to play with these all day long, what's missing from this string of bracelets? Ask the girl to get it!"
The second son was not in the house, and the eldest princess didn't take it seriously. It was just a bracelet, so she gave it to her. Besides, she had confidence in her eldest son.
When the other wives from the aristocratic families saw that the eldest princess had given the lottery, they were too embarrassed not to give it, so they all said they would also take a share.
The eldest princess smiled and said: "No, this is just a competition between young men. What you are wearing are things used by women. They are not rare, but keep them all! You may bleed soon."
Then everyone gave up! Of course they understood what the eldest princess meant. Because soon the female family members will also have a talent competition, and winning the competition must be successful. This is an annual custom.
"Everyone knows the rules, right? I won't reiterate them here, let's get started!"
After the mutton-fat jade chess pieces arrived, Qin Min announced the start.
"Your Majesty! Your Highness also sent you a gift." At this time, a boy came over and stopped Qin Min who was about to start.
Gu Chengyu took a curious look at the tray in the boy's hand and saw that it was a small-leaf rosewood bracelet. When the boy came closer, he found that the beads on the bracelet were round and smooth, as if they had been played with often.
Turning his gaze to the opposite side, he was not surprised to find that the eldest princess was looking over here.
Originally, he was somewhat interested in the mutton-fat jade chess piece. The teacher likes to play chess, so giving it to the teacher would be just what he wanted. But now that the eldest princess gave it to him, he hesitated.
