Chapter 180
As soon as Chi Hua's words fell, Danyang's attention was caught.
She looked at Zhao Huiwei's calm appearance, which was far from the image of a country girl she imagined.
Shouldn't she be thinking about how to please the noble lady here?
Danyang's eyes were slightly cold, but it was true, he was infatuated with Chi Hua, and there are few noble girls here who are of a higher status than Chi Hua.
Who made her the first-rank general's daughter!
Danyang looked at Shen Shu, smiled lightly and said, "Aren't you here to introduce Brother Mingnan's benefactor?"
"It took so long to find her, it seems that we have neglected."
The conversation suddenly turned to Zhao Huiwei.
She raised her head, looked at Danyang for a moment, and then moved away indifferently. She stood up with a smile on her lips: "It is Hui Wei's honor to come here to participate in the lotus banquet of the Princess, so why not be negligent? Modo thinks."
Danyang raised his eyebrows: "Brother Mingnan's benefactor is more considerate than ordinary people. If it's someone else, you can't scold me to death in your heart."
When Chi Hua heard this, she chuckled lightly, and Dan Yang's eyes turned to her in an instant.
I saw Chi Hua curling her long hair with her fingers, and lazily said: "The most important thing for a person is to have self-knowledge. If you know that you have neglected others, you still say it. Isn't it just looking for scolding?"
The scene was silent.
The noble girls didn't dare to breathe, it was really exciting. Not long after Chihua returned to Beijing, he confronted Danyang, and slapped Danyang in the face because of that peasant girl.
Sure enough, Danyang's complexion turned bad instantly.
She clenched her fists tightly, weighing again and again that Chi Hua couldn't move, so she chuckled and changed the topic away.
"My princess was just joking just now. Sister Chi, don't take it seriously. Miss Huiwei was personally invited by this princess. This princess will definitely treat her well."
She turned around and flicked her gorgeous sleeves lightly: "Come here, let's have a banquet."
Soon some servants brought a pile of stone tools, and they put them together to form a fluted stone table.
There are famous flowers and rare herbs in the center of the stone table, and water flows slowly from the groove. A maid holds a lotus leaf in her hands and puts the lotus leaf in the water flow, and the lotus leaf flows slowly along the water flow.
Looking at the lotus leaf, it is actually eating.
Everyone felt strange, and they didn't take their seats until Danyang greeted them.
Men sit on one side and women on the other, according to rank.
People like Zhao Huiwei who have little power in Beijing are arranged to sit at the end, and it doesn't matter where Chi Hua sits, she wants to be next to her Ah Hui.
Huo Simo raised his eyes, and the fiery red came into view.
She has never looked at him since she came in, and her eyes have never stayed on him for a second.
This reminded him of the shocking words she uttered in the teahouse a few days ago.
How humiliating she wanted to marry him.
But now, she no longer has the enthusiasm for him that day, and he can't help wondering, was that just a joke of hers?
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but pay attention to her.
He watched her every move, with laziness and wantonness, this is the temperament that all the noble girls in Beijing don't have.
She is different from all women...
"Simo, what are you looking at?"
The arm was pushed, Huo Simo then withdrew his eyes and looked at his friend beside him: "It's nothing."
Seeing this, Lu Churen stood up and smiled, "Let me introduce to you, this young man is Huo Simo from the Huo family in Yuzhang."
"He is Jie Yuan from Yuzhang, and he came to Beijing to take part in the examination."
Huo Simo stood up, bowed to everyone, and then sat down again.
Lu Churen patted him on the shoulder, and said to everyone: "Simo people are relatively shy, so don't take offense."
Only then did Chi Hua turn her gaze to him, yo, isn't this the little man who rejected her last time?
What a coincidence, I ran into it here again.
She supported the stone table with her hands, and when Huo Simo looked up, she saw her smiling eyes looking at him.
He hastily lowered his head, his ears turned red with nothing to do, and after he realized it, he was filled with endless annoyance.
Why should he be afraid of this little lady? Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to look up at her anymore.
Danyang looked around, and suggested: "It's a bit boring to just have a banquet like this, why don't we play a little game."
Shen Shu answered from the side: "Princess, what kind of game is it?"
"Pitch the pot."
This is a pastime game played by noble ladies in Beijing. Basically everyone has practiced it. When they hear the throwing pot, the atmosphere at the banquet instantly becomes even hotter.
Danyang saw that it was almost time, so he said the rules: "Have you seen the dishes in this groove?"
"Each person holds ten sticks, five sticks or more can choose a pastry, seven sticks or more can choose a seasonal fruit, eight sticks or more can choose a side dish, and the middle ones can choose from the grooved dishes."
This reward can be said to be rich, especially for the all-round winners. There are many royal dishes in the groove that can only be eaten in the palace. If you can see it, you can only see it at the palace banquet.
And they are not high enough to enter the palace at all, so it is really not easy to see the imperial dishes.
"However." Danyang changed the subject and continued: "There are rewards and punishments."
"If seven of the ten pieces are missed, I will perform a talent show in public. What do you think?"
All the noble ladies thought about it, and they decided to perform in front of the princes. There were many noble ladies who had reached the age of marriage and thought to themselves, this is simply giving them a chance.
They have no objection to this. They have been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since they were young, and it is really easy to perform a talent.
Then also agreed.
Dan Yang looked at the two people at the end, seeing that they still didn't respond, he sneered in his heart, she wanted to see what talent this little peasant girl could show.
Her purpose this time was to embarrass the peasant girl at the banquet.
Soon, a maidservant brought up the throwing pot.
The mouth of the pot is the size of a bowl, and there are ten arrows on one side.
After they put down the props, they retreated.
Chi Hua looked at the dishes in the groove, turned her head and asked Zhao Huiwei: "Which dish do you want to eat?"
Zhao Huiwei looked at it and pointed to the one with the largest lotus leaf: "Smoked chicken white belly."
Chi Hua smiled: "I'm pretty good at picking, this is the royal dish."
As she spoke, she stood up.
She reached out and took the ten arrows: "Let me make a head start for everyone."
Danyang placed his hands gracefully on his abdomen: "Sister Chi, please go ahead."
Chi Hua shook the arrows in her hand and felt that they were too light, so she put ten arrows together.
He gestured towards the spout of the pot.
Just when everyone was wondering, the arrow in her hand was thrown out.
"Bangdang."
All ten!
All the ladies: "???"
Chi Hua clapped her hands and clasped her fists coolly: "I've accepted."
As he said that, he went to serve the largest plate of smoked chicken with white belly.
She placed the royal dish in front of Zhao Huiwei.
She doted on her extremely: "Eat it, I'll win it back for you."
Zhao Huiwei was very moved, and pulled Chi Hua to sit beside him: "Sister Hua also eats."
As he spoke, he put the biggest chicken leg in Chi Hua's bowl.
Everyone just looked at the two of them, you and me, like glue, and the style of painting was weird but harmonious.
Danyang's face turned green immediately, she looked at the mouth of the pot filled with ten sticks, and couldn't get up or down, and finally the maid picked up the arrows.
She held her breath and said, "Who will come next."
