Chapter 108

The "pot throwing game" evolved to the great Yan Dynasty, and the rules have been simplified a lot.

Several people stand at a certain distance and throw arrows at the bronze wine pot in turn. If they hit more, they will win.

Liu Jin is extremely confident in the pot throwing game. He may not be good at "writing articles", even at the end, but he is good at everything.

Li Qingyan is regarded as a "relegated Fairy" by Huaichun girls. Where will he get involved in these fun games?

At least, Liu Jin hasn't heard that Li Qingyan has played "throwing pot" in public. His literary style probably doesn't want to buckle the hat of "playing with things and losing ambition".

Liu Jin gave a cold hum in his heart. Today, let Li Qingyan, a little white face, plant a big somersault on the "plaything" he usually doesn't see!

Thinking like this, Liu Jin took the lead in taking an arrow from the servant's hand, stood up, and raised his chin slightly to the smiling Li Qingyan.

Hum, you won't take the lead.

Liu Jin was holding a white feather wooden arrow in his hand and standing about ten steps away from the throwing pot. It was about three meters in modern times. If he didn't look too arrogant and annoying, his face would be pleasing.

Then, he waved forward casually, the white feather wood arrow crossed a beautiful arc in the air, and the heads of the onlookers also looked from left to right.

The crisp crash of "jingle" proved that the white feather wooden arrow landed steadily in the wine pot.

Then came the exclamation and applause of the children of the aristocratic family.

Liu Jin took the lead.

Although I knew Liu Jin was very good at "throwing pots", what I saw with my own eyes was another kind of praise.

Next, it's Li Qingyan's turn.

At this time, everyone present focused on Li Qingyan.

Those present, whether familiar or unfamiliar with Li Qingyan, have never seen Li Qingyan play any fun games, let alone throw pots.

Compared with Liu Jin, the "pot throwing expert" they have long known, how Li Qingyan will achieve is obviously more interesting to them.

Even Jin Xiangjun, who was watching, couldn't help sweating for Li Qingyan.

Qing Yan is also addicted to poetry and books at home and plays with his brothers from different generations.

How should he... Deal with it?

But Li Qingyan himself, as if he didn't know what others were thinking, was a calm attitude.

It seemed that whatever was about to happen had nothing to do with her.

Seeing this appearance of Li Qingyan, Liu Jin was even more unhappy.

At this meeting, Li Qingyan had already walked to the position where he had just stood with a white feather wooden arrow.

Just holding an arrow is a layman.

Liu Jinxin sneers more. When you really make a fool of yourself later, let's see how you can pretend to be calm!

While Li Qingyan took the arrow and seemed to be thinking about something. A different color flashed between his eyebrows.

The silk color was seen by Bai Jingshu, and his heart was slightly tight.

Li Qingyan didn't think for a long time. She clamped the shaft of the white feather wood arrow with her index finger and middle finger, and was ready to throw it at the mouth of the pot.

Of course, this move caused the sneer of "pot throwing expert" Liu Jin and the complicated eyes of the children of the aristocratic family.

Does he really think he is a character?

Or do you know you have to lose, so you have to lose beautifully?

No wonder Liu Jin scoffed. The arrow shaft made in the Dayan Dynasty is thicker than that in the previous dynasty. Normally, the thumb holds one side of the arrow, and the remaining four fingers hold the other side, so as to ensure sufficient strength and hit the mouth of the pot.

Now Li Qingyan only uses the strength of his index finger and middle finger to throw arrows. Although he has elegant posture and elegant movements, his strength is not enough.

This idea is not only Liu Jinyou, but also the children of most aristocratic families present.

Looking at Li Qingyan's thin body, even if he uses the normal posture, he may not hit, not to mention using only two fingers. Wouldn't it be more humiliating if he fell down halfway?

But when Liu Jin and others were waiting to see Li Qingyan's joke——

Jingle!

It was another crisp "jingle", but it changed everyone's face.

Especially Liu Jin.

He would look at the two white feather wooden arrows falling steadily into the pot, and then look at his face calmly, as if Li Qingyan had predicted long ago.

The expression on his face was completely unbelievable.

He inquired about it clearly and carefully. Li Qingyan is not good at playing.

How could this happen?!

Not make a fool of yourself, but make a fool of yourself?!

***

This is unbelievable. It lasted until both sides put in ten white feather wooden arrows. After a draw, Liu Jin didn't slow down.

Not only Liu Jin, but also many young people of the aristocratic family around him were shocked. Their thin lips were so open that they could plug eggs.

No one expected that Li Qingyan had hidden his hand in secret.

He is not only knowledgeable, but also an expert in throwing pots!

In modern terms, it's like you're shocked to suddenly find out whether a student bully is a professional E-sports player.

And everyone is not a fool. Li Qingyan can draw with Liu Jin with all five fingers with the strength of two fingers. It's clear at a glance.

Li Qingyan was not surprised by his honor or disgrace. He didn't think how surprising it was to tie with Liu Jin. His face was still indifferent and told Liu Jin the same way.

"Is it better than?"

The more indifferent Li Qingyan was, the more sarcastic he was in Liu Jin's eyes. The eyes of the children of the aristocratic family around him also embarrassed him.

If you lose in talent and learning, you will lose.

But this is in the "throwing pot" that Liu Jin is best at. The tie is already an insult to him. In particular, the tie feels that Li Qingyan let him.

Liu Jin couldn't swallow it.

Liu Jin tightened his hand and looked at Li Qingyan with a trace of hostility.

"Compare! How not! It's just accurate. You can't beat me in pot throwing skills!"

"However, I want to change a comparison method!"

Liu Jin said angrily, but he looked more and more interested in Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan: Oh?

Actually——

Li Qingyan looked at the black power fence and felt the heat of his scalp gently stroked by the hot sun on his head.

The fire quickly gave a negative answer in his heart.

It's so stuffy at first sight, and black absorbs heat, okay.

She doesn't want to die of heat before she gets home.

However, this move ushered in Qiuping's admiring eyes again.

Her own master has high ideological consciousness. She can't catch up with her horse.

When a master and a servant came home, before their feet fell into the gate, they saw a thin girl in a pink blue jacket and skirt coming up quickly.

Smiling eyes looked at Li Qingyan's Ivory clothes and smiled even more.

"Shizi, you are back."

"It's a coincidence that you came back as soon as the old lady talked about the son of the world."

The little girl speaks very skillfully. It should be that the old lady of Hou's house wants to see Li Qingyan and asks the little girl to wait at the gate. However, when the little girl sees Li Qingyan, she doesn't mention the old lady's meaning. Instead, she says this, which gives Li Qingyan a chance to show her filial piety.

She is worthy of being a big servant girl around the old lady. She is an exquisite person in early spring.

As for why Chu Chun flatters Li Qingyan so much, in addition to Li Qingyan's own son status, Chu Chun's green and astringent love can be seen clearly even Li Qingyan, who is not transparent about feelings.

But what a pity

It's better to pinch off this abnormal spark as soon as possible.

Li Qingyan thought like this, and his tone was even colder.

"Well, I'll see grandma."

Early spring listened to the sound of no mood fluctuation on his head. He subconsciously bit his lower lip, but he heard his voice with a smile.

"I'll show you the way."

After several people left, the servant at the gate was relieved and gossip.

"I said that in early spring, my eyes were floating up in the sky. Several brothers were courteous to her, but she couldn't see it. It turned out that people's morale was really high."

"Don't mention early spring. Look at the young servant girls in our family, who didn't hang their eyes on the Shizi. They didn't even have a warm bed in the Shizi's room. They all wanted to be an ordinary third-class marquis. Why did they have a lot of money?

Li Qingyan and Qiuping didn't go long before an oval arch appeared in front. Li Qingyan just prepared to let Qiuping wait outside and go in by himself as usual.

See autumn flat face some hesitation to open his mouth.

"Shizi, why don't you go in with me?"

In the past, the prince didn't come much, and she must accompany him if he wanted to come. Recently, I don't know what the prince thinks, but I dare to face the one inside alone.

Li Qingyan's footsteps didn't stop. He rarely took a sincere joy in his eyes, but his voice floated to Qiuping's ear.

"Well, that's my own grandfather."

Others are asking about Jin Xiangjun's hobbies. They give Jin Xiangjun's favorite things. Li Qingyan goes the opposite way. She says that she really gives Jin Xiangjun's favorite things when she gives them to the prince of Nan'an. She doesn't prepare any gifts that Jin Xiangjun likes. Moreover, her gifts are in line with the rules. She can only say that she doesn't fall in the face of the Marquis of Changping, which is not a challenge.

This time, Nanan county king should be able to understand that she didn't climb up their family's mind.

But some things just came out of Li Qingyan's surprise.

Nanan county king looked at the big "gannanxiang" in his hand and was very surprised.

"Galanga" was not valuable in the previous dynasty, but in the Dayan Dynasty, it became more and more scarce because of over exploitation, and the price soared.

Moreover, there is no market for the price. The piece he received alone is worth 100 liang of gold.

After the surprise, Nanan county king was surprised. How did Li Qingyan know his little-known hobby?

Just now, I heard that Li Qingyan also won the little dandy Liu Jin in the pot throwing game, and the win was quite beautiful.

Xiangjun mentioned that Li Qingyan was very talented and learned. He was only a sour Confucian scholar who could read a few poems. Now, he is worthy of the family style of Changping Marquis who was born after the general and did not disgrace the "Grand Marshal of troops and horses".

Nanan County King touched the "Ganan incense" sent by Li Qingyan, and a trace of satisfaction gradually appeared in his eyes.

***

In a quiet room without a trace of light.

The black armour man held the bamboo tube engraved with the date of "the third day of July" above his head, and a gold brocade box was placed in front of him.

The black armour man said respectfully.

"Master, I don't know what to do with Li Shizi's gift?"

On the steps, there was still an invisible figure, but this time he was not playing chess.

He glanced at the tacky gold brocade box and suddenly thought of Li Qingyan in the black armour man's report.

Can't bear to be hungry, but also secretly touch your belly?

It seemed that he thought of some funny picture. There was a slight smile on the corner of the man's mouth, but it only appeared for a moment, and soon returned to the normal radian.

After a while, a faint voice sounded.

"Present it."

***

Li Qingyan thought that after attending the "Hongmen banquet", she should be able to breathe, but in fact, she had no chance to breathe at all.

Her competition agreement with Liu Jin, somehow, suddenly spread all over Shengjing.

So that the whole Changping Marquis house was more nervous than her.

Go with the old lady. The old lady has a serious face.

"Don't worry, grandson. With your ability, you won't lose to that little rabbit. The most important thing is to let everyone see that our Changping Marquis house can also produce great talents. It's really a martial arts man!"

Please say hello to my parents. My parents are very worried.

"Let's not mention fame. The most important thing is to hide yourself, but wake up!"

When they met Li Qingshan and Li Qingtang, they were both proud and worried.

"Brother Yan, my little sisters are all looking after you. The dandy Liu Jin doesn't deserve to lift your shoes. Hum."

"Brother Shizi, please be relieved. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

After listening to so many words, Li Qingtang relieved Li Qingyan a little. No wonder the original pressure is so great.

In fact, what Li Qingyan cares about most is not these. What she cares about is, what if she gets the first place in the "Imperial College Examination" and is missed by Jin Xiangjun?

But she herself is "the first talent in Shengjing", and she can't do too badly, humiliating her original name.

Now, Li Qingyan can only hope that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the candidates. Even if she "loses her standard", it will not make people feel that she has humiliated the name of "the first talent in Shengjing".

Not that he is too weak, but that his opponent is too strong.

But where is the opponent?

Li Qingyan, full of sadness, wanted to test the level of this session of candidates, but he had no chance. However, the opportunity came soon.

In the twinkling of an eye, Tanabata has not been given the meaning of "Valentine's Day" in the Dayan Dynasty.

Here, more definitions are women's "Qiqiao Festival" and men's "Kuixing Festival".

On this day, it is rare for women to travel together in beautiful clothes to worship Lei Zu. Literati want to worship Kuixing and bless their success in the exam. It happens that the "imperial college exam" is approaching recently.

However, because it is difficult for women to get out of the street on Tanabata, it has also become a day for women to give love sachets to their favorite people.

On this day, Jin Xiangjun sat in a carriage early, waiting outside Changping Hou's house.

Piaoxi, the personal servant girl sent by the king to her, was so frightened that she was worried along the road until Jin Xiangjun didn't give up the idea and asked Piaoxi to invite Li Qingyan. She trembled and couldn't help saying.

"Miss, you are the county leader now. You will invite Li Shizi so frankly. If others see it, they will gossip."

Jin Xiangjun doesn't look up to or care about the women's dogma of this era. Moreover, for her, getting married is not a top priority. Now she is full of eyes, only thinking about how to take Li Qingyan and go back to be husband with her.

However, face Kung Fu still needs to be done enough, and you can't show your abnormality too much. Therefore, a shallow smile appears on Jin Xiangjun's weak face.

"Piaoxi, I know. I just want to see Li Shizi too much. No, if you ask Shizi for me, but he's gone out, if not, we'll wait here for a while and meet him again when he goes out?"

Jin Xiangjun was not stunned. When she went out today, the clothes she and Piao Xu wore and the carriage they rode did not have the logo of the king of Nan'an.

When others saw it, they would not think about Nanan County palace, which also avoided a lot of trouble.

Floating Xu also thought of this. Seeing his own young lady say so, he had no reason to refuse, so he reluctantly went to the gate of Changping Marquis house.

Just, after a while, floating Xu came back.

Brought back a news that surprised Jin Xiangjun.

Li Qingyan has an appointment with someone!

Go out early!

Jin Xiangjun looks a little ugly. He guesses whether the person about Li Qingyan is male or female. If it is female

Jin Xiangjun's slender nails contracted slightly, leaving several shallow marks on the table in the carriage.

The food tray floats away and there is nothing on it.

Xia Qian had an envelope in his hand.

On the bronze envelope, there were two lines of writing penetrating the back of the paper.

Rao is Li Qingyan. He is a modern man. He can't help but see the handwriting on the envelope.

The backbone is open and generous.

Somehow, when layman Li Qingyan saw these two lines of words, these two words appeared in his heart.

If you only see words, Li Qingyan must feel that the person who writes has mountains and rivers and the heart of being kind to the world.

But through the ages, many treacherous ministers are a generation of calligraphers, such as Qin Hui, Yan Song and so on.

It is said that the "No. 1 pass in the world" written on the tower of Shanhaiguan is still written by Yan Song.

Therefore, the historical lesson tells Li Qingyan that the word is like a person. This sentence is just talk.

Moreover, just looking at the tips and prizes, Li Qingyan would only think that this person is a doctor who practices medicine in a hanging pot, which is still a little lower than the height of "mountains and rivers in the chest".

Just because the prize mark on the envelope in Xia Qian's hand happened to be the name of a medical book. Li Qingyan didn't know much about medical theory, but seeing Xia Qian's obviously stunned look, I think this medical book should be precious.

The prompt on the envelope is only one word——

"Spirit."

Li Qingyan didn't want to understand the hint. Xia Qian opened the envelope with a trembling hand.

However, after opening it, Xia Qian's eyebrows and eyes were slightly excited, and then he frowned gently. Obviously, Xia Qian was troubled by the problem of the questioner.

When Xia Qian was in trouble, Li Qingyan was happy.

It's not schadenfreude. It's just that Xia Qian met a problem that gave her a chance to show Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan slightly turned his head and looked at Xia Qian with a frown. A faint concern appeared on his cold face.

"Brother Xia, but what's the problem?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xia Qian's whole shoulder sank obviously, sighed deeply, and then handed the letter in his hand to Li Qingyan, so that she could see the above problems.

"Li Shizi, Xia has been interested in medical science since childhood. This time, he came to take a chance to see if he could find some rare medical books. Who ever thought that in the item of 'letter', he met Xia's favorite medical books, but..."

Xia Qian's face was obviously depressed, and then said.

"But Xia really can't answer this question. That's why I'm worried."

Xia Qian is quite gifted in medical science, but because he comes from poetry and courtesy, he is not weak in elegance. When Xia Qian said this, Li Qingyan was a little curious. What problem can embarrass Xia Qian?

But when she looked at it, Li Qing was quiet on her face, but she was surprised and said "no wonder".

No wonder Xia qian can be baffled.

Without Xia Qian, most people in the world will be stopped.

As Li Qingyan now knows, I'm afraid this question can only be answered by Xia Qian's master and uncle.

But it's not right

Li Qingyan suddenly thought of one person and another!

One more person can answer.

As soon as Li Qingyan's face changed, he suddenly felt that the letter in his hand was a little hot. He didn't know whether he should continue to help Xia Qian.

Xia Qian on one side saw that after Li Qingyan read it, his expression was slightly difficult. A small rub in his eyes just lit up, hoping to go out again.

But when Xia Qian regretfully prepared to put the letter back in the envelope and put it back on the food plate, Li Qingyan pulled a corner of the letter and stopped Xia Qian's behavior.

Xia Qian raised his eyebrows.

"Li Shizi?"

Li Qingyan struggled in her heart. Finally, the idea of winning Xia Qian's favor steadily prevailed. She closed her eyes a little and resumed her calm when she opened it again.

"Brother Xia, I can answer this question."

Li Qingyan's answer really brought Xia Qian a surprise.

"Seriously? If Li Shizi really answers, the prize belongs to you. Xia doesn't want the original. I just hope Li Shizi can borrow Xia to copy a copy. In addition, Li Shizi needs Xia to do anything, but it doesn't hurt."

Li Qingyan waved his hand lightly, which was a cool gesture that did not pay attention to profit.

"Brother Xia is serious. Since this thing is good for brother Xia, I should try my best to get it for brother Xia. Then the prize will belong to you. Besides, I don't know medical theory. It's useless and wasted in my hand."

Li Qingyan should have a small calculation in her heart, so that she will not be shaken by the interests of a small promise in front of her. She plans Xia Qian's promise of life and death. She has to slowly plan to become Xia Qian's friend of life and death.

Moreover, giving up some small vested interests can also win Xia Qian's greater favor. Why not.

Li Qingyan's words, simple Xia Qian, moved Wang Wang again, which made Li Qingyan feel a shallow sense of guilt for cheating honest people.

However, in the face of life and death issues, the sense of guilt just flashed away. Li Qingyan soon put it behind him and focused on the problem that baffled Xia Qian.

In fact, the difficulty of Xia Qian's problem lies not in the problem itself, but in the mind of the author.

The problem is——

"Is there a soul in the world?"

In the Dayan Dynasty, where Buddhism and Taoism prevailed, there was a theory of soul, but no one could prove it.

If you simply answer "yes or no", I'm afraid it's not the answer that the questioner wants. The questioner behind this should want to know why there is or why there is No.

But the author of the question may have another meaning, which is what Li Qingyan is really worried about.

seek.

What kind of person would ask such a question?

In addition to the person who studies the "soul", he is the person who has relatives around him and hopes in his heart, or——

Someone who has experienced something.

Although it is a one-third chance, especially for the last category, it is very small.

Li Qingyan was still worried that the author behind it was Jin Xiangjun who had been reborn.

She is looking for whether there is her kind in the world or someone who can answer the difference that has happened to her.

Li Qingyan was just tangled. She didn't want to get involved with Jin Xiangjun too deeply. However, it was a rare opportunity to greatly win Xia Qian's favor. It was difficult for Li Qingyan to give up.

Thinking of the back, Li Qingyan didn't care and decided to gamble. Anyway, he would help Xia Qian answer it later or report the answer in Xia Qian's name.

Li Qingyan suppressed the complicated thoughts, slightly condensed his eyebrows and thought about it.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is also an expert posture.

It's strange to say. I don't know if the skill of the original x is too powerful. No matter what Li Qingyan says, it makes people feel convinced.

Li Qingyan didn't think for too long. Holding the letter paper, in Xia Qian's expectant eyes, he faintly said the answer he had long thought of.

"Yes, everything has a spirit."

……

Xia Qian blinked and was still waiting for the following, but he saw that Li Qingyan didn't mean to continue and turned to drink tea. Xia Qian's eyes flashed a little puzzled.

"Li Shizi, it's gone?"

"That's it, okay?"

Li Qingyan nodded gently and looked firmly.

There is no need to explain this question too much at all. The questioner is not so much looking for the answer as confirming the answer in his heart.

No matter which of the previous three types of questions, the answer is a panacea.

Because when they asked this question, they already believed that there were spirits in the world.

Li Qingyan didn't say the reason, but Xia Qian just thought for a while, wrote the answer Li Qingyan said and put it back in the letter.

Expressed by action and believed Li Qingyan's words.

Before long, a servant of "Langyue building" came over with a tray. On the tray was the medical book Xia Qian was thinking about.

Xia Qian's thin lips were slightly open, and he was shocked that he really got his favorite medical book.

However, Li Qingyan's heart was chilly, and his good-looking eyebrows and eyes subconsciously swept a circle of literati in Langyue building.
