A wine banquet lasted until late at night, Liu Jinyuan and Xiaoyao were drunk, and when they went back to their rooms, Liu Jinyuan had his own servants and maids to help him back to the room, and Xiaoyao was thrown to the bed by Ouyang Feiti, and Ling'er took care of him.

At noon the next day, Xiaoyao woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, Ling'er was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a shallow smile on his face.

"Ling'er, what time is it?" Xiaoyao asked, rubbing his confused eyes.

Ling'er came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said, "It's past noon." ”

Without his aunt's spatula to call people, he really slept day and night, and he got up and got out of bed and said, "It's so late, didn't you delay Brother Liu's business, right?

Ling'er said with a smile: "When the maid brought lunch, she said that Brother Jin Yuan hadn't gotten up yet, and the two of you were the same as the lazy sleepers. ”

"Brother Ouyang, they have already gotten up, and they have already gone to the scene of the martial arts competition outside the main gate of Zhuangzi, which is not far from Kuiyuan. ”

Xiaoyao hastily washed his face, and Ling'er personally helped him comb his hair and serve, and his movements were very skillful.

In fact, in such a mansion, they were the guests of the young master, and naturally there were indispensable people to wait, and the four servants who were ordered to come to serve in the morning were all sent away by Ling'er after bringing breakfast.

After that, they brought lunch over, and after Ling'er ordered some things to be washed, she told them not to come back, so as not to disturb the world between themselves and Brother Xiaoyao.

Although she has never served anyone in her life, the person in front of her is the husband she loves, and being able to serve him, touching a piece of his hair and a corner of his clothes are all part of happiness, and Ling'er will never fake others.

Xiaoyao's heart suddenly moved inexplicably, and he didn't know what he thought.

Seeing that Xiaoyao's expression had changed, Ling'er asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiaoyao's eyes were a little confused, and he said, "It's nothing, it's just that when you helped me comb my hair just now, I suddenly felt as if I was very used to it, as if you had helped me comb it before." ”

Ling'er's eyes lit up, and before she could say anything, Xiaoyao continued: "Maybe my mother combed my hair for me when I was a child, and it feels very similar to now, so I think so!"

Ling'er lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Maybe!"

Xiaoyao didn't notice the loneliness in Ling'er's expression, held Ling'er's hand with his backhand, and said, "Let's go over quickly! Let me take a good look at what kind of person the cousin who made Brother Liu fascinated." ”

Seeing Xiaoyao holding his hand so naturally, Ling'er's loneliness disappeared in an instant, a happy smile resurfaced on her face, and she walked out of the room holding hands with him.

During the daytime, the Kuiyuan Garden is full of bamboo forests and pine shadows, lined with the sound of splashing water in the distance, which is very quiet and dusty, and much more beautiful than at night.

Ling'er suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, let me tell you one thing, this morning, the two maids who were sent to wait for us talked about their eldest lady's competition to recruit relatives, which was really funny. ”

"Oh, what's a good way to play?"

Ling'er smiled and said: "I heard that this eldest lady doesn't want to get married, so her father held a hydrangea throwing conference, asking her to throw the hydrangea, and whoever she throws it to, that person can be the aunt of the family." ”

Xiaoyao said dumbly: "What if you throw a crippled idiot?"

"Of course not, her father is shrewd! He first surrounded a large field, and built a tall building in the middle of it for the eldest lady to throw hydrangeas. ”

"If you want to enter this big field to receive hydrangea, you have to pass his test first, you have to have a clean family background, good character, and good attainments in civil and military affairs before you can enter the field to receive hydrangea. ”

Xiaoyao was surprised: "But if you don't talk about wealth and nobility, just listen to what you say, you are talented and good-looking, can such a young man not have a good future? Who is willing to join the rich?"

"Hehe, there are a lot of people who are willing to get rich! This eldest lady makes Brother Jin Yuan fascinated, but she is a great beauty who can marry her, and can be the aunt of this family, how many people have broken their heads!"

Xiaoyao smiled: "I thought that no one came to throw the hydrangea that time, so I had to have another competition to recruit relatives." ”

Ling'er shook her head and said: "No, there were a lot of people who came that time, the whole venue was crowded, all of them were young talents, even if they went to the Jinshi examination, it was not so spectacular!"

"The result?"

Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled: "As a result, the eldest lady threw it like this...... When a bunch of sons grabbed it, there was a sudden bang, and the eldest lady actually filled the hydrangea with gunpowder, and burned off the eyebrows of several rich sons next to her, clucking...... Isn't it fun, you say?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyao didn't laugh, but said a little solemnly: "This is not quite right! I think this kind of thing is like the thing that the unruly lady we met yesterday would do, how could ordinary ladies do such a thing?"

Ling'er disagreed, and said, "Probably not, right? Didn't Brother Jin Yuan say that his cousin was the most gentle?"

Xiaoyao also remembered this, nodded and said: "That's right! If even the Miss Lin from yesterday can be regarded as gentle, I have to wonder if Brother Liu is blind, but his cousin's father is from the rivers and lakes, so he wants to recruit a son-in-law who knows martial arts, and Brother Liu suffers a lot from this." ”

"Alas, he is so timid and unassertive, he may not dare to disobey his uncle, right?" Even Ling'er felt that Liu Jinyuan couldn't do anything, and was a little worried.

The two of them had walked out of Kuiyuan unconsciously, only to hear the noise of people in front of them, and they couldn't hear anything clearly.

The two hurried forward and quickly arrived at the crowded scene of the martial arts competition, which was a large square outside Zhuangzi, and there were many hawkers and onlookers on the periphery of the square, pointing at the center.

From a distance, a high platform was erected in the center, a red flag was inserted, the golden and dazzling embroidered words on the red flag were displayed in the wind, it was impossible to see what the words were from a distance, next to the flag pole, there were several thrones, I don't know who would sit on it at that time.

Xiaoyao and Ling'er held hands and squeezed forward, Ouyang Fei and they should be in front, and people's introductions kept coming from their ears.

"It's really lively today! It's even more lively than the temple fair. ”

"Isn't it? martial arts masters from all over the country gathered together just to get Miss Lin!"

"I can't see it! More than half of the people who came to participate may be because they want to use Lin Tiannan's power in the martial arts to ascend to the sky in one step, or they want to get the Lin family's property. ”

"I said that this time the Lin family held this competition to recruit relatives, and it will definitely not be able to compare the results. ”

"Yes! The eldest lady of the Lin family has inherited the family tradition since she was a child, and since she was thirteen years old, no boy in Suzhou City has beaten her, and it is really difficult to defeat her and get the Lin family's industry. ”

The more Xiaoyao listened, the more he felt wrong, and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, the person who wants to recruit relatives is also surnamed Lin, could it be the unruly lady we met yesterday?"

Ling'er was not quite sure at this time, and said hesitantly: "No, right?

"Just go up and take a look, hey, look, Brother Fei's they're there, let's go over quickly." ”

The more Xiaoyao and Ling'er squeezed to the front, the content of the conversation between the people around them gradually changed, the more inside, the more people were waiting to compete, and there were almost no people watching the excitement.
