Chapter 183 The Blind Hu Girl
Su Qianqian wanted to see what this ignorant young man looked like, but as the son of the Minister of Works, he would not sit too close to the front, so she couldn't see even if she wanted to.
Although she couldn't see it, someone else could. Prime Minister Xue and the Crown Prince were looking in the same direction. The young man was still unaware of it and thought he was very handsome and elegant. When his eyes fell on Xue Wanning, he was a little picky.
Madam Xiao frowned slightly, but then regained her calm expression and talked to the two princesses beside her.
[So that's how it is. The son of the Minister of Works was originally picked out by Madam Xiao from the banquet invitations. Those who had tried to propose marriage to Xue Wanning in the past were all deliberately avoided by Madam Xiao, but this young man still showed up. 】The system found another small melon.
[Perhaps the servant made a mistake and put the invitation back in. 】Su Qianqian replied casually.
The banquet began. Melodious music sounded from behind the screens on both sides of the banquet room. Dancers came in and danced to the music, their long sleeves fluttering in all their charm.
[If we talk about the most beautiful dancer, it has to be Princess Meng Yun. That figure...tsk tsk tsk...] Su Qianqian looked at the dancers and thought of Meng Yun's dancing posture.
[I was almost killed by your handful of peanuts. Will dancing have a trauma on my mind in the future? 】The system sneered.
[No, the people of Daliang are strong enough both physically and mentally. Even their thick skin is enhanced. This is worth learning. 】
Su Qianqian remembered clearly that Meng Yun and the two princesses had just made a fool of themselves in dancing and then appeared in Jingyuan to participate in the game. If it were a girl from Da Qi, she would probably never come out to see people again.
[If that’s the case, you really have to be careful...] the system said meaningfully.
No one came to Su Taifu's house today, only gifts were sent over, which is Su Taifu's usual style.
As for the fact that the House of the Loyal and Brave Marquis did not receive the invitation at all, Qi Wanniang cursed Xue Zhiqing behind her back for this matter. Many young ladies from noble families had already spread the news and were all happy to watch the fun. After all, they had no personal relationship with Xue Zhiqing, so just fawning over her verbally was enough.
Xue Zhiqing is not like Xue Wanning. She is afraid of being seen through and embarrassed by all those arts, so after the beauty dance, she tried new tricks.
"Zhiqing heard that there is a Hu woman with unique skills, so she invited her here to entertain you all, and see if her skills can be called unique." Xue Zhiqing gestured with her hand, and the sound of drums came from behind the screen.
The low drumbeats became increasingly frequent. Four Hu men flattened a felt carpet with intricate patterns. On the carpet sat a Hu girl, who was sitting cross-legged with her hands clasped together. Her hair was thick and black, and her long eyelashes drooped.
But when she raised her head, everyone was shocked: her pupils were dull and gray, and she turned out to be a blind girl.
The blind girl, who was sitting cross-legged, was placed on the ground. Four Hu men also sat down at the four corners of the blanket, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes and remained silent.
At this time, the blind girl stood up, stepped to the rhythm of the drum, and made strange gestures in all directions, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Everyone in the audience stopped to see what the blind Hu girl was going to do.
The blind girl suddenly stopped and sat back in the middle of the carpet without moving at all.
The four Hu people stood up, lifted the blind girl again, and walked towards the guest seats.
When the blind girl's felt carpet reached Zhu Jiayi, she suddenly shuddered. The four barbarians stopped and fine sand flowed from the blind girl's clasped hands, forming two lines of words in the air:
"In a dream, the question is short, and the flesh and blood can relieve a thousand worries."
Everyone was amazed!
However, many people in the audience looked at each other in confusion as to what that sentence meant. Zhu Jiayi was a little confused at first, and then her face slowly turned red.
Although she was lazy, as the daughter of Duke Xuan, she had to learn to read and write and learn some poetry. With such simple sentences and her clear memory of her own dreams, she immediately understood what they meant.
But she was so surprised that she was speechless: How could this foreigner know her dream? But no matter how stupid she was, she would never ask such a question.
[It’s quite interesting. You know this? 】Su Qianqian became interested.
[Don't underestimate these strange people. The truth and falsehood are confusing. Even emperors believe in them. 】
The system reminded Su Qianqian.
At this time, the Hu people carried the blind girl forward aimlessly, and stopped in front of Prince Ping. Prince Ping had a faint smile on his face, leaning back in his chair leisurely looking at the blind girl.
The fine sand once again revealed two lines of words: "Don't be greedy for rich food, and be careful about Tusu in October."
"This is easy to understand. It means not to eat too good food and be careful with drinking in October. Could it be that he calculated that Prince Ping was ill?"
Some people were talking in low voices.
Qin Hanzhang's eyes suddenly became sharp.
[Interesting!] 】Su Qianqian was very interested.
"You actually figured out that I ate fat crabs yesterday and was greedy. I feel really ashamed." Prince Ping laughed.
The Great Qi people attached great importance to etiquette. Even if they were enemies who had fought against each other in the past, they would not be impolite when sitting together. The male guests at the table nodded in agreement.
At this time, the Hu people walked to Qin Hanzhang's seat and stopped. Fine sand flew out of the blind girl's hand again: "I have taken off my armor and traveled 30,000 miles, and the beacon fires illuminate my hometown."
There was a sudden silence among the people present, and then they began to discuss each other in a concealed manner.
"Yes, I did return home not long ago, but that's nothing. Even the people in Xijing city know it." Qin Hanzhang smiled and twirled the wine glass on the table.
"It's just for fun, don't worry about it."
Xue Zhiqing said softly, pointing at the blind girl:
"This woman's unique skill is not here. Her unique skill is what she said, which either happened in the past or will appear in the future. She never fails to predict.
For example, she once calculated for me that family ties would be renewed and all things would return to mystery. Although I didn't know what the second half of the sentence meant, the first half came true. ”
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that the Hu people could make such a firm prediction. Even Qin Yuzhuo wanted to give it a try.
"Miss Zhiqing, can I ask the goddess a few questions?" Su Qianqian suddenly said.
"Of course Madam Hou can." Xue Zhiqing gestured generously.
Su Qianqian thought about it and spoke a few words in the Hu language.
The blind Hu woman blinked her eyes quickly a few times, nodded, answered a few words and then bowed. Four Hu men carried the blind girl out to the beat of drums.
Everyone present was extremely surprised. Lady Wuning Marquis could speak the Hu language?
[What did you say? You asked them to leave? 】The system can eat other people’s melons, but it can’t eat Su Qianqian’s.
[I just asked her if she still wanted to leave Xijing? If you don't leave now, you will lose your life! Then ask her how she did it?
She said she had a way to know the guest list and then bribe the target person's confidants in advance. It would be enough to bribe some recent events. As for the information that could not be bought, she would say it would happen in the future. People would believe such a scam! 】
Su Qianqian sneered.
Su Qianqian explained with a smile: "Ms. Zhiqing, I learned a little bit of Hu language when I was studying. I asked her if she could teach me. She said she would never be able to do this again."
Everyone: You forced me to quit...
"Boom!" A loud noise suddenly came from outside the banquet room!
