The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 46 Ingenuity (Part [-])
Luo Xiao shook her head with a smile, ignored Luo Yue, and called Lin Zisu and Qin Yajun to play pot throwing with the girls.

Lin Zisu had never played throwing pots before, and imitated Liang Wanyi to throw a few times, but they all hit the pot. Liang Wanyi looked surprised. She heard Luo Yue call Lin Zisu "Susu" just now, and she thought it was very kind, so she asked Said: "Susu, when did you learn how to throw pots? How come you are so good at it?"

Lin Zisu simply told Liang Wanyi the trick she had learned, but Liang Wanyi made several shots and rarely had a chance to hit it, so she said with a frustrated face: "Susu, your method doesn't work, I have to think about it again." Find a way."

Liang Wanyi said, and then exchanged the tricks of throwing pots with Luo Yue.Taking advantage of Liang Wanyi's pondering efforts, Lin Zisu looked at this water pavilion, only to find that it is different here.

There is a water wheel behind the water pavilion, which pumps water to the roof, flows down the gutter along the eaves, and drips in all directions behind the water pavilion, forming a series of water curtains.Two seven-wheel fans powered by water are placed in front of the water curtain, and through the gauze curtain, they continuously send cool air into the water pavilion.

Lin Zisu lifted the veil, and saw that the two seven-wheeled fans were only four feet high, obviously they had been improved, and they were obviously different from the behemoths recorded in the book. the sound of,
Lin Zisu was overwhelmed with admiration, and wanted to go closer to see some details, but Luo Yue shouted: "Susu, the veil must not be lifted, otherwise, we won't be able to continue playing the game of throwing pots."

Lin Zisu saw the wooden arrows scattered around the throwing pot in front of Luo Yue, and suddenly realized that the wooden arrows were light, and without the veil to block the wind, she couldn't find the point when throwing the pot.

She immediately put down the veil, walked up to Luo Yue, and said apologetically, "I think the seven-wheel fan is very delicate. I wanted to take a closer look, but it made you lose another game."

Luo Yue didn't care much about winning or losing. He was a little surprised when Lin Zisu said the name of the seven-wheel fan, and said, "Susu, are the two wooden frames outside called seven-wheel fans? This is the first time I've heard of it , how did you know?"

Lin Zisu opened her mouth wide and asked, "Ah Yue, you don't know the name and origin of your own utensils?" The diameter is Zhang Zhang, continuous, and one person carries it, and the whole hall is shivering', I see that these two seven-wheel fans are exactly similar to those recorded in the book."

Luo Yue laughed a few times in embarrassment, and said: "My grandfather built this water pavilion for our sisters according to ancient books. We only want to enjoy the cool here in summer, but we don't know the origin of the utensils here. Susu, can you very impressive!"

Hearing what Luo Yue said, Lin Zisu became curious about this Luo Shangshu.

According to the memory of the previous life, at this time the Luo Mansion also invited guests to celebrate his birthday, but it was Luo Xiu's farewell banquet.

At that time the emperor was already seriously ill, and Xie Yao was in charge of the government, so he approved Luo Xiu's resignation, which had been suppressed in the cabinet for nearly three months.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, Luo Xiu naturally didn't dare to make any arrangements, so he only invited a dozen relatives, friends and old friends.Originally, Luo Xiu just wanted to bid farewell to his old friends, but at the farewell banquet that day, a big event happened that caused a sensation in the capital.

In the previous life, at Luo Xiu's farewell banquet, a guest surnamed Zheng surprised the whole audience by saying something when he was drunk.

The specific words that were said did not get out much, but the words "Luo's daughter is as precious as a phoenix" spread throughout the capital in no time.

This guest surnamed Zheng is familiar with all the people here, and he is quite familiar with divination and fortune-telling, so his words are quite convincing, and they are passed on to the palace. Thoughts.

It's just that the Luo family has three concubine daughters and two concubine daughters, but they don't know which lady has Feng Ming. Besides, the eldest daughter of the Luo family is already married, and the youngest daughter is only nine years old. thought.

After this incident, Luo Xiu seemed to be frightened, and closed the door to thank the guests the next day, and then returned to his hometown with his family.

Afterwards, Xie Yao sent Jin Yiwei to the Luo family many times to inquire, and he was relieved when he learned that all the daughters of the Luo family were married and none of the daughters of the Luo family married into the royal family.

Suddenly thinking of this, Lin Zisu looked into the water pavilion, and saw Luo Yue happily throwing pots with several girls, and Luo Xiao sitting on the arhat bed beside him playing chess with others.

At this time, Luo Xiao obviously encountered a problem, he was thinking about a sunspot in his hand, not knowing where to put it, and the opponent sitting opposite Luo Xiao was Qin Yajun.

With a smile on the corner of Qin Yajun's mouth, he glanced at Luo Xiao from the corner of his eye, like a hunter who has already won.Luo Xiao thought for a while, and felt that this game was already powerless, so he threw in the game very readily.

Luo Xiao said with a smile while packing up the chess pieces: "Miss Qin is very good at chess, I am ashamed of myself, let's stop here today, and ask Miss Qin for advice another day."

Qin Yajun said: "If it wasn't for the second girl Luo's deliberate acceptance, I would have lost a long time ago. It is really a fluke to win this round."

Seeing that the game had already been won, the girls who were watching chess next to each other dispersed, Qin Yajun and Luo Xiao said: "Miss Luo, I see it's still early, can you go out with me for a walk? "

Even if Luo Xiaodang complied, he and Qin Yajun left the water pavilion together.

Lin Zisu looked at the figures of the two leaving, and felt that her cousin was full of weirdness. Seeing her expression of hesitating to speak just now, she was hesitating whether to follow and listen to what Qin Yajun and Luo Xiao had to say.However, Chen Yuqi's hearty laughter came over, followed by Liang Wanyi's voice: "Susu, come and help me! Aqi is too good at throwing pots, and she has defeated the invincible opponent in the world. Only you can compete with her .”

Lin Zisu immediately walked towards the crowd who were throwing pots, but Liang Wanyi and Luo Yue had already greeted her before she could get closer, holding her arms one from the left and the other from the right.

Liang Wanyi said: "Ah Yue, let me tell you, Su Su is a real person who doesn't show her face, as long as she makes a move, she will definitely win against A Qi."

Liang Wanyi said this to Luo Yue, and Luo Yue nodded in agreement.

When the three approached, Chen Yuqi said with a smile: "Ayi, you have found the right person to find Su Su as a helping hand. This pot throwing is similar to archery. Her arrow skills are good, and the pot throwing ability is natural. Not bad."

During the gatherings on weekdays, the girls in Beijing would avoid Chen Yuqi. It was the first time they played touhu with Chen Yuqi today, but they were all losers.Hearing from Chen Yuqi that Lin Zisu's skills are not bad, all the girls around looked forward to it, as if seeing a savior, hoping that Lin Zisu could defeat Chen Yuqi and save them some face.

Lin Zisu took the three wooden arrows handed over by Liang Wanyi, and threw them towards the pitching pot. There was a clanging sound, and the three wooden arrows landed steadily in the pitching pot.This immediately won applause from all the halls, and Luo Yue clapped his hands and praised: "Susu, if you beat Aqi, I will definitely drink a few more glasses of wine with you later!"

Hearing drinking, Lin Zisu remembered what happened to her after drinking, and her hands couldn't help shaking. The four wooden arrows thrown out of her hands scattered away, and only one fell into the pitching pot.

Liang Wanyi sighed regretfully, and Chen Yuqi smiled and said: "Susu, it's a battlefield right now, I won't be merciful, your sister has received this kindness, if Ah Yue doesn't want to drink with you later, you can find me .”

As Chen Yuqi said, the five wooden arrows in her hands were thrown out at the same time, drawing an arc in the air, and they all fell into the throwing pot without even making a sound.

Liang Wanyi complained: "Aqi, I can't play with you anymore, you are bullying the small with the big."

While everyone was playing around, many people came into the waterside pavilion, but there were many familiar faces of Lin Zisu, Fang Qingge, the second lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan, Shen Kexin, the daughter of Shen Shangshu's family in the Ministry of War, and Zhang Qi, the daughter of Zhang Shilang's family in the Ministry of Officials. Zhang Yutong...

There were a lot of people coming, Luo Yue greeted the visitors, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, Liang Wanyi turned against the guests and helped Luo Yue accept the scene.

As soon as Fang Qingge saw Lin Zisu, his face darkened immediately. Today was a banquet at Luo Shangshu's residence, and she didn't feel like having a fit, so she just snorted coldly, and went elsewhere with a few girls.

But Zhang Yutong greeted the girls one by one, came to Lin Zisu, smiled and greeted: "Miss Lin, it's a pity that I didn't see your masterpiece last time, I'll find a good time in another day, and I must invite you." Come and sit in the humble house, everyone."

Lin Zisu nodded in response, chatted with Zhang Yutong, and saw Luo Xiao and Qin Yajun entering the water pavilion one after the other.

As soon as Luo Xiao entered the door, he said loudly: "Dear guests, the birthday banquet is ready, please move to Changyou Pavilion."

The Changyou Pavilion of the Luo family was built in the garden, just a few steps away from the water pavilion.When a group of girls arrived at the birthday banquet, they immediately became the focus of attention.

Lin Zisu was walking among the crowd, and through the trees and light and shadow, she saw Xie Xi and Yang Xingyao standing on the attic at first sight.

Xie Xi also saw Lin Zisu, and smiled at her. Lin Zisu felt that his smile seemed to be mocking, and felt uneasy. Thinking of the last time he fled in Nankang Princess' Mansion, she turned to her. chin pointing.Xie Xi's complexion suddenly darkened, presumably she understood what she meant, Lin Zisu suddenly felt a sense of joy of revenge, and stepped into the pergola under the main stage of the birthday banquet.

Luo Xiu is today's birthday star, and he has just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is a double blessing. He is sitting on the birthday platform at this time, having a good chat with several old friends.

Under the pergola, a few teenagers are struggling to write a hundred-year-old picture for today's birthday star on the spot.The so-called "Hundred Shou" picture is composed of one hundred "longevity" characters in different shapes, and the color head of "Hundred Shou Duo Fu" is taken.

The teenagers wrote more than 30 pieces, but they couldn't write any more. When they saw the girls entering the arbor, they each asked acquaintances to help them finish.

Zhao Shixun, the third son of the Changping uncle's mansion, was also one of these young men. He didn't have much ink in his stomach, but his friend Qin Lu wanted to show off in front of the guests, so he was pulled over to make up the number and wrote a few words. The Shou character, which is not in official script but not in regular script, just makes my head feel big.

He raised his eyes and saw Lin Zisu and Chen Yuqi hiding in a corner of the shed with a low smile, he immediately dropped his pen, ran to Lin Zisu, and said with a flattering smile, "Miss Lin, the hundred-shou picture over there is still short of a few years." Words, I wonder if it is convenient for you..."

Chen Yuqi was interrupted, so she gave Zhao Shixun a hard look and said, "I had a good chat with Susu, why are you here to join in the fun?"
