The happy life of the embroidered girl in space

Chapter 155 The He Family Woman (3)
The servants had already set up in the pavilion, a total of twelve plaques, all covered with red silk.

"This is the upper couplet that the princess collected everywhere. It's just that the second couplet has never been found. There was nothing new in the past. If you pass this level now, you have to match eight of the twelve couplets within the time of a stick of incense." Princess Yue explained: "Of course, since it's a competition, it's natural not to lose the prize."

Princess Yue took the lead to take down the exquisite and transparent rouge jade hairpin and put it on a plate held by a maidservant, saying: "Whoever is the leader, this belongs to him."

One after another, the young ladies also took down the things they could use as bets and put them on the plate, and the double-sided embroidered handkerchief that Ning Yuyao sent up was extremely exquisite. Do what you love, every lady has no shortage of jewelry, but I like the rare embroidery very much.

Some young ladies who were not in the same category quietly backed out from the bottom of their hearts.

"Misses who want to break through, please wait patiently for a while, and then uncover the red silk when you want to start lighting." Shao Yao, the eldest maid next to Princess Yue, said loudly to the crowd.

Xu Qiya sat calmly on the small stool in the pavilion, she turned her head to look at her cousin and Ning Yuyao who she just met and said: "Qingya, sister Ning, do you want to try it together, it's rare that we met today Du, wouldn't it be a grand event to break through the barrier together?"

"Sister, how could I be missing out on this fun-loving thing." Xu Qingya accepted the matter.

And Ning Yuyao is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. She has no talent to speak of, but if she doesn't go up now, she will be squeezed out by other ladies, so Ning Yuyao has no choice but to bite the bullet and go up. .

After the incense was lit, the servants of Prince An's Mansion had already uncovered the red silk, and the 12 yuan sign was a pair.Of course, not everyone's pair is qualified to write it up.It still depends on whether you are neat or not, clever or not.

At this time, thirty book tables and brocade mats were neatly arranged in the backyard of Prince An's Mansion. The passers-by sat in front of the book tables and meditated on the couplets.

The time for a stick of incense is really too short, not only to think, but also to write down the answers. Some people have already started to rush, and some of them spilled the ink as soon as they came up.

Ning Yuyao didn't have the intention to break through the barriers, so the pressure was much less. She took a leisurely look at the twelve couplets. It was indeed a difficult task, and she was not greedy, as long as she could match a few. , I'm sorry and I'm not ashamed.

The first couplet is the simplest, and the first couplet "willow eyes are the only way to relax the grassland."

Ning Yuyao thought for a while, picked up a pen and began to write, "Peach Cheek is fainting Biyuntian."

Princess Yue did not participate, so she sat in the top position with Princess An, and the three concubines served as judges. As long as a lady wrote it, someone would pass it on.And there are also some young ladies watching the fun. Seeing the first couplet uploaded, someone has already quietly praised: "Good couplet."

But after a while, an arrogant voice of disapproval appeared beside and commented: "It's more appropriate to look at Princess Yan."

Facing the first couplet, Ning Yuyao looked at the second couplet. The first couplet is: Celebrate with the whole world, celebrate the nature, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate.

This "Dangqing Dangqing" not only coincides with the meaning of the sentence, but also has the function of onomatopoeia. This couplet is wonderful.Ning Yuyao frowned in thought, blissful in her heart, and wrote: The whole country is crazy, crazy to the extreme, crazy, crazy, understand crazy, understand crazy, understand crazy, understand crazy, understand crazy.

The lady next to him started booing again.

However, Ning Yuyao started to read the third couplet without being affected at all. The couplet said: "Ding ding dong dong spring."

This couplet is actually not difficult, but there are a lot of repetitions and rhymes, but Ning Yuyao has seen a lot over the years, she is not an ordinary girl in a boudoir, so she just picked up a pen after thinking about it for a while, the second couplet: overlapping mountains; Curved loop.

"Okay, wonderful, wonderful, absolutely amazing." Princess Yue, who had seen the couplet written by Ning Yuyao, shouted.

I don't know if Ning Yuyao is in a good state today, or if she is overwhelmed by the cheers from the side, she just feels that the spirit is flowing like a spring, and the more she meets, the easier it is.

The next couplet is "The north and the south are divided into oranges and trifoliates". This couplet looks simple, but it comes from "Yanzi Chunqiu": oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges.To match this couplet, there must be an allusion.

Ning Yuyao thought for a moment, then wrote: Jin Sui don't leave willows.When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty passed through Hangzhou, he was overjoyed to see the graceful willow trees and gave the country the surname 'Yang'.Since then, willow trees have been called willows.

Concubine An also nodded appreciatively when she saw it, maybe they were right, but it might not be possible to figure it out in such a short period of time.

Ning Yuyao continued to match, but it was not too difficult. When it came to the penultimate couplet, it was "the sky makes the chessboard, the stars make the stars, and the sun and the moon win glory."

Ning Yuyao quickly picked up a pen and wrote: "Thunder is the drum of war and electricity is the flag, and the wind and the cloud are united."

The stick of incense in the pavilion has already burned to the tail, and Ning Yuyao has already made eleven pairs, which is considered to have passed this level, but the other ladies failed to match all the pairs, only Ning Yuyao Most hopeful, everyone in the pavilion looked at her and tightened their veils to see if she could get the last couplet right.

The last sign reads "Waterwheels drive water, water follows the vehicles, when the vehicles stop, the water stops."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief before they had time to think about it. They just felt that this pair was extremely simple, and it would definitely not be difficult for Ning Yuyao.

But Wei Heng's pen has not been lifted for a long time, and the incense is about to burn out.

"Think quickly, think quickly." The slightly impatient young lady shouted anxiously.

"It's easy to say, but you want one." The person next to him said angrily, "Don't disturb this girl."

Everyone calmed down and looked at this couplet again, only to find that it was too difficult, not as easy as imagined.

Ning Yuyao looked up and saw the maid next to Princess An holding a round fan, and immediately wrote: The fan blows the wind, the wind comes out of the fan, and the wind blows.

There were three people who passed the first level, Princess Yan, Xu Qiya, and Ji Yuwei from Jing'an Hou Mansion.Ji Yuwei is also a re-elected talented woman in the capital. This time, Xu Qiya and Ji Yuwei only matched eight pairs. Even Princess Yan, who thinks highly of herself, only matched nine pairs. Only Ning Yuyao matched all of them. Right out.
