Chapter 53 Minglan's Scheming

Gu Tingye thought it would be good to end this way, but unexpectedly, a seven or eight-year-old girl appeared and wanted to compete with him.

"Forget it, a little girl can't win even if she wins, so I lose." Gu Tingye said.

"Winning means winning, losing means losing. What does it mean to count you as losing?"

Gu Tingye wanted to give up, but Minglan was not happy. She had watched it for a long time and came out when she felt she was sure to win against Gu Tingye.

Her daughter is pregnant, and the weather is cold now, but the servants at home have deducted the carbon that should have been used by her daughter for heating.

Minglan wanted to go to her father to complain, but her mother refused to allow her to go.

She then thought that after winning against Gu Tingye, her father would be happy and might go and see her mother-in-law, and then he would also know about her daughter-in-law's being kidnapped.

When Gu Tingye saw Minglan insisting on competing, he was playful: "According to the rules, you are taking over from Third Young Master Sheng to compete with me. All the things he just lost will be counted. Do you agree?"

He had already obtained twelve chips twice. Because Sheng Changfeng's first arrow failed, the second arrow could not be counted as a hit, so it could only be counted as one chip.

"Admit it!" Minglan said without thinking.

"it is good!"

Gu Tingye nodded, picked up an arrow and threw it, hitting the mouth of the pot.

"Win in a row, get two chips!"

Minglan pursed her lips, picked up an arrow, took aim and threw it.

"Guan Er, four points!"

The so-called Guan Er means that there is an ear on both sides of the mouth of the pot. If you hit it, it will be Guan Er. It is a four-step plan.

"it is good!"

No one expected that a little girl could throw the pot so well, and the onlookers cheered for her.

"Ming'er, you can throw the pot so well. Who did you learn from?"

Sheng Hong stepped forward with a face of surprise, bent down and held Minglan in his arms and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah!" Minglan nodded firmly.

"Okay, okay!" Seeing that Minglan was so confident, and Minglan's move just now, Sheng Hong saw the hope of winning. He said hello several times and told Minglan to shoot well, then let go of Minglan and stepped back. After a few steps, he started watching.

Seeing that Minglan was shooting so well, Gu Tingye felt a little happy and drew two arrows directly.

Minglan saw Gu Tingye holding two arrows, her face changed and she exclaimed: "You want to shoot both ears?"

The so-called double ears means throwing an arrow from each hand into the left and right pot ears at the same time.

Gu Tingye smiled slightly, threw his hands, and saw two arrows accurately hitting the ears on both sides of the spout.

"Both ears, get six chips!"

In fact, the profit from both ears is not high, because one side only has twelve arrows, and Gu Tingye throws two at a time. Including the previous ones, he throws a total of five, and has to raise twenty.

And Minglan, counting Sheng Changfeng's shot, made three shots and raised five.

If it were a serious competition, Gu Tingye would definitely not show off his skills, but he wanted to show off his skills, so he chose this kind of show off skills, and the winnings were not high.

But this also made Minglan know that she had underestimated Gu Tingye before.

Minglan took a deep breath, picked up an arrow, took aim for a while, and then threw it.

"According to the pole, you get ten chips!" Si She exclaimed.

I saw the arrow Ming Lan threw into the mouth of the pot, but it did not completely enter, but rested on the edge of the mouth of the pot.

This is called relying on the pole in pot throwing, and it is more difficult than Gu Tingye's two ears just now.

A bright smile appeared on Minglan's face. She had just made a bold decision and was not sure, but she didn't expect it to happen.

Now she has fifteen draws, and Gu Tingye has twenty. Although she is still behind, she has one more arrow than Gu Tingye, so she still has a chance to win.

When Gu Tingye saw Minglan steal the stick, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he pulled out two arrows again. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he turned around and threw the pot with his back.

What was even more surprising was that even though he was throwing the ball with his back to the pot, Gu Tingye still hit both ears, causing bursts of exclamations.

However, many people noticed that Gu Tingye was intentionally trying to give in, because even if you throw it backwards, as long as it is double ears, the number of chips will be the same, and it has no practical significance except for showing off your skills.

Minglan also saw this, but she didn't dare to relax, but she didn't dare to take risks like before.

Both sides went back and forth, and soon all twelve arrows were thrown.

In the end, Gu Tingye lost to Minglan by a hair's breadth.

After Gu Tingye lost, he left with an indifferent expression.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Sheng Hong finally let go of his worries. He smiled and cupped his hands at everyone and said, "It's almost time. The banquet will start soon. Everyone, please go and take your seats."

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the farce was over, Li An said to Liu Waner.

The female family members were having a banquet in the back house. When Minglan was throwing the pot, Sheng Changfeng slipped away quietly. Mo Lan saw that she was chasing Sheng Changfeng.

Liu Waner was only accompanied by a little maid. Li An was a little worried, so he sent her to the corner door of the inner house and handed her over to the maid to lead her in.

Li An led Shizhu back and walked through a corridor when he saw Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai quarreling.

"Brother Sheng, what's wrong?" Li An stepped forward and asked doubtfully.

Sheng Changbai looked at Gu Tingye and said angrily: "You are a guest from far away. My family has tried its best to entertain you, but you made my family embarrassed on my eldest sister's great day, but you still have the nerve to take advantage of it. If you like wild geese, there are hundreds of birds outside. Pictures are everywhere, there are all kinds of birds, hurry up, don’t send them away!”

Sheng Changbai came back from picking up the recruitment team. After the ceremony was completed, he didn't like the excitement and returned to his yard.

It's rainy in Yangzhou. It rained for a while a few days ago, and the books and paintings were very damp. Seeing that the sun was shining brightly today, Sheng Changbai took out the books and paintings to bask in the sun.

Sheng Changbai was about to air his favorite map of the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" when he heard a servant coming to report that someone had won the eldest sister's betrothal goose in a pot.

Although Sheng Changbai is young and mature, he is still a boy who has just turned fourteen. On the day when his eldest sister was hired, someone unexpectedly won her away. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't help but get angry.

He didn't even bother to put the picture down and ran over.

When he came, Minglan was playing pot with Gu Tingye. When he saw that Minglan defeated Gu Tingye and kept Binyan, he felt relieved.

Thinking that he still had the painting in his hand, Sheng Changbai was about to send the painting back. When he was passing by the veranda, he was hit by someone and the painting fell to the ground.

When he was about to pick up the painting, the painting was picked up by Gu Tingye.

Facing this person who made his family look embarrassed, Sheng Changbai, who had always treated others with humility, couldn't help but mock a few words.

After Sheng Changbai finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Li An with a smile and said, "The banquet is almost over, why are you still here?"

"Haha, I came late and haven't found the teacher yet. Does Brother Sheng know where my teacher is?" Li An asked.

"Liu Xuezheng should be in the main hall. Come on, I will take you there when you meet." Sheng Changbai said.

Li An glanced at Gu Tingye, nodded and followed Sheng Changbai.

"Xiaoyanei!"

Gu Tingye quickly chased after him, stopped Sheng Changbai, bowed deeply, and said: "I don't like wild geese. It was the eldest brother of the Yuan family who asked me to vote. I didn't expect to disturb your wedding banquet. I'm really sorry. This is a terrible plan. Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, right?"

"None of your business!" Sheng Changbai said impatiently.

He is not a stingy person, and if Gu Tingye sincerely apologizes, he will not hold on to him.

However, Gu Tingye said that he didn't expect it to disturb his wedding banquet.

Anyone who knows a little bit about etiquette also knows how much embarrassment it will bring to the host's family if he wins the betrothal goose on such a day.

Although he didn't know who Gu Tingye was, Gu Tingye was able to follow Yuan Wenchun and look extraordinary in his clothes. He must be the son of Bianjing. How could he not understand this?

Therefore, his impression of Gu Tingye became even worse. He said something back to him, turned around and wanted to leave.

Gu Tingye stopped Sheng Changbai again and said, "It's none of my business. If we don't take back the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, our court will be in endless trouble."
