Chapter 118



"What is she doing here?"

Everyone looked at Yue Weimo in confusion.

"Ms. Yue, what are you doing? Get out of the way! You're going to delay us from watching the most exciting third round of competition."

The ancients had little entertainment, especially the ladies. Their greatest pleasure was undoubtedly planting flowers, growing grass, doing housework, and playing the piano.

There is no one to take care of things, and he rarely even leaves the backyard.

Not to mention watching an archery show in broad daylight like today.

Therefore, everyone watched with great interest. Even if they were just watching the excitement as an outsider, they were also looking forward to the results of the competition like most of the old men.

Everyone was talking at once, asking Yue Weimo to get out of the way quickly and not to delay things.

Yue Weimo smiled brightly, turned the tray over, and sent it to the old ladies in the first row, "Come on, let's place our bets together! Since we are going to compete, and the prince and the duke have already promised rewards, why shouldn't we women follow suit?"

"The tray is divided into four columns, representing target one, target two, target three, and target four. Ladies and ladies place their bets on the target they think will be the winner. In the end, the winner can not only take back his own items, but also share the items of the losers. How do you think?"

Yue Weimo is undoubtedly bold.

Gambling was openly set up, and even kings, princes, generals and ministers were present.

The timid ones simply retracted their heads and dared not respond to her, but Old Madam Qi laughed and said happily, "This little monkey is the most timid among all the women in the capital. Is she taking a risk by coming out to attend the banquet?"

Yue Weimo was not afraid at all, and smiled, "Well, let's play. It's such a good atmosphere, and we don't want to gamble big. Let's each take a random item, such as a hairpin or a jade pendant, and gamble a little to have fun, and give a little prize to the warrior who wins later."

Madam Yue died young, and Yue Weimo was brought up by his father with great difficulty. He had a somewhat boyish personality, and everyone in the capital knew about it, so everyone was quite surprised by this.

Even her father, Yue Xuanfeng, was not very angry. He just gave her a symbolic reprimand.

"You are just a nobody, you are just making a fuss!"

"Master Yue, please don't be too harsh. I am just a child, and I think her suggestion is good. Let's just watch and see. How about we women get involved? Grandma Tang, go get a jade ruyi as my stake."

Grandma Tang was very quick, so before long, Yue Weimo's tray had the first prize.

She also quickly pulled out a hairpin and put it in, claiming it as her own.

The host's old lady started the game, and the others had no scruples and offered their own prizes one after another. The main reason was that they had never played like this before and they found it funny.

Of course there were some who insisted on participating, some ladies and families who only took a symbolic stake.

But even so, one tray was not enough to hold all the prizes, so in the end, four trays were used to place bets on the four targets.

The third and fourth targets attracted the most bets.

Because Jiang Yuanlang had already exposed himself just now, the four lions seemed to be the same, but careful people could still recognize them. With the absolute strength of the generations of military commanders in the Jiang Guogong Mansion, it is better to trust the family background rather than throwing them around like headless flies.

As for those who shot at four targets, 놊뇾 said that they took the lead in the second round.

When the bets were almost even and Jiang Ying thought the third match, which she thought was very interesting, was about to begin, Yue Weimo suddenly ran up to her with a smile on her face.

"Sister Jiang Ying, you haven't placed your bet yet."

Jiang Ying was stunned. "I... I'll just leave, right?"

There were three people on the field who were her brother, but she was not hopelessly stupid. As soon as Jiang Yuanlang appeared, she knew that the other three must be Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanchen.

I was quite touched by their kindness just now.

But who should we bet on? We have flesh on both sides of our hands, so we always tend to favor one over the other.

But Yue Weimo kept pestering her and said, "Sister Jiang Ying, hurry up, you are the protagonist today. If you don't place a bet, the third match won't start!"

She knew that it was Jiang Ying's illusion. She always felt that the four people on the stage seemed to be waiting for her decision and had no intention of starting.

This really made Jiang Ying feel awkward. "Forget it, I haven't decided who to vote for yet."

"We all bet randomly, it depends on luck."

"Oh my, Miss Jiang, please vote quickly. The sooner the competition ends, the more we can see the true colors of the other three."

Everyone resisted the urgency; winning or losing was one thing, but everyone was more eager to unveil the veil.

It was indeed difficult for Jiang Ying to make a decision. She was in a dilemma about who to choose. When she was considering which brother to shoot and was about to close her eyes and shoot at four targets, Yue Weimo had already taken the lead in pulling out a hairpin from Jiang Ying's head.

Of course, the one she tied into a bun today.

Then he threw the fourth tray in. "Since Sister Jiang Ying is so entangled, let's do the same as me and throw four targets."

Jiang Ying: "..."

Jiang Yuanyi, Jiang Yuanchen, and Jiang Yuanlang on the stage had been looking forward to this, but the result was not like this. They were all convinced and snorted lightly to express their satisfaction.

Of course Yan Zhuo knew what they were thinking. These three weirdos, how grown up they were, were they still competing for their sister's affection?

In the end, Ying'er voted for him.

He doesn't care whether it's true or coincidental, as long as you vote for him, it's fine.

But in this case, he was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he had agreed to compete with the three Jiang brothers for the Dawn Sword, but on the other hand, he had also lost Ying'er's hairpin.

"Ahem." At this time, Yue Weimo cleared his throat and said, "Four warriors, after the competition, the winner can pick one prize from each of the four trays, which is a total of four prizes. The three losers can also pick one prize from their own prizes, and the others will be divided up as the winning party. After all, these are the personal belongings of the women, so it is better for the men to take them all to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. The four warriors should understand enough, right?"

After Yue Weimo said this, those who had just complained about her extraordinary behavior nodded slowly.

It seems that he is really reckless, but he is also very meticulous and serious in his thoughts.

Mrs. Pei praised her with great enthusiasm, "This daughter of the Yue family looks lively, but she is actually a smart and interesting child."

"Also?" Pei Wenting glanced at his mother, "Who do you think is wrong?"

Mrs. Pei's eyes wandered around the scene. "Many of them are wrong, including the newly recognized daughter of the Jiang family, Su Yilan, Lu Yanran, the Mu family, and so on."

Pei Wenting hesitated, "Mu Wanbai? Forget it, didn't you see how much she wanted to cause chaos in the world just now!"

Madam Pei, "Of course I'm talking about Mu Wanbai, and the concubine's daughter who has been silent on Madam Mu's left, I just saw her take a silver lock and throw it at target number two. As a concubine's daughter, the little girl is short of money, but she has the nerve to throw it, not afraid of being laughed at by others for being shabby. You didn't see that she was struggling, and she was quite cute."

"Mom, why are you observing others doing nothing? It's boring!" Pei Wenting said this, but his eyes subconsciously glanced to Madam Mu's left.

She is indeed a pretty girl with some chubby cheeks. She is a lovely little girl.

Mrs. Pei slapped her son's arm angrily, "How dare you ask me, who am I observing these young ladies for? It's not for you! You're two years old now, don't settle down. If I ask you if you don't mind, you can't tell me. I'm already worried about your marriage!"

"Then you can think about it yourself, it's none of my business!"

At this time, the four people on the stage, after hearing what Yue Weimo said, stepped forward together and bowed to express their agreement and gratitude. As a result, the four people's huge lion heads seemed to be pointed in a certain direction.

Jiang Yuanyi looked at Lu Yanran.

Jiang Yuanchen looked towards the Mu family.

Jiang Yuanlang looked at the Dawn Sword beside Jiang Shang.

Yan Zhuo...naturally, under the disguise of a lion head, he stared at Jiang Ying without any scruples.

Normally I don't dare to look at her like this, but hiding under this furry skin, I can be myself to the fullest.

Jiang Ying was quick to notice the prying gaze, and she looked around before finally fixing her sight on the furry lion's head that was staring at her. Something strange flashed through her mind.

Pei Wenting watched the two people's seemingly interactive movements, and then looked at Qi Ren in the distance with a leisurely look. A thought flashed through his mind, and his face became bright. As a result, his expression was misunderstood by Mrs. Pei. She suppressed her panic and pressed her son's shoulder heavily, "Come on, Pei Wenting, do you like Miss Jiang?"

The girl is very good, good in every way, but the key is that she has given birth.

Of course, if 儿 really liked her, she wouldn't be that pedantic.

But the fatal thing is that she is engaged to Prince Yan!

Mrs. Pei was even more tired, but when Pei Wenting heard this, his face turned red, "Mom, what are you talking about? Yan Zhuo and I are close friends, and I will definitely touch his woman even if I die. Don't say such things in the future. If he hears it, I'm done!"

"The third match begins now!"

On the stage, the steward in charge of the situation struck the gong loudly.

The four lions stood solemnly, raised their longbows, and slowly took out three arrows from the quivers on their right hands, put the tails of the arrows on the bowstrings, took aim, and shot!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——

A series of feather arrows flew out like a broken bamboo, so fast that people could see them clearly with their eyes.

Almost everyone subconsciously forgot to blink and just stared at the red hearts on the targets five meters away.

I hope the one I bet on wins.

With so many accessories, you don't make much money. If you are lucky, you can marry a handsome man and create a good story.

At least among the young ladies who voted for Jiang Yuanlang, that's what they thought.

Jiang Ying didn't feel any expectation. She just lost and couldn't let it go. So when Qi Ren, the referee, announced that Yi Ban won, Jiang Ying just smiled and passed it by.

I looked at the concentric jades that Lu Yanran placed on tray No. 1 and wondered what my brother would choose later.

Coldly, a tall yellow figure appeared next to tray number four.

A slender hand picked up her hairpin accurately, and said in a low, mellow and clear voice, "Yingying, they promised me to win, but I will give up your hairpin."

As he spoke, he took off the lion head prop, revealing his angular face.

After a series of performances and competitions, the tip of his nose was covered with fine, shiny beads of sweat.

Her lips were pursed, with a hint of tension.

"Yingying, congratulations on your return home."

Jiang Ying slowly recognized Yan Zhuo and froze in a state of shock...
