Chapter 575: The Contest (3rd Update)


Shen Yue blinked twice and thought of something fun, and said, "Usually everyone competes in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry.

This time is no exception, but it is different from the past.

Everyone is divided into groups, regardless of gender.

But it can’t be all men, or all women.

Each group has five or six people, each with one specialty.

Several groups can compete together, and they can also guess lantern riddles, match pairs, and receive flower orders.”

After Shen Yue finished speaking, Zhong Wenting clapped her hands and applauded, "This is a good idea.

In the past, everyone fought alone, but this time everyone forms a team to fight."

Su Zixian said, "I'm afraid it's unfair."

After all, it is a team, and it is very likely that one team will crush the other teams.

Without the suspense of victory or defeat, the fun of fighting will be lost.

Zhong Wenting looked at Shen Yue.

What Su Zixian said was not impossible.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "This is easy to do.

Let those ladies and young masters from aristocratic families who are willing to participate write down what they are best at in the lottery.

Everyone is only allowed to write One item, and then draw lots to decide who will go with whom.”

As soon as Shen Yue said it, Zhong Wenting knew what was going on.

She had expected that many people would come to the Shen family today, and she was afraid that everyone would be bored, so she prepared a lot of lantern riddle pairs for everyone to play together, and she was fully prepared with pens, inks, paper, and inkstones.

After having a general idea, she went down to give instructions.

First, she asked everyone what they meant.

After all, they thought it was fun, but others might not think so.

It would be too embarrassing if everyone didn't play without her.

Be careful not to make any mistakes. .

When asked about the results, everyone was very interested and couldn’t wait.

Here the waiter helped with the tables and chairs, and over there everyone put their names into the baskets they were good at.

Soon, everything was ready.

The important task of deciding who should be paired with whom was left to Shen Yue.

Several maids followed Shen Yue carrying trays, and Shen Yue grabbed them again and again.

Afterwards, the paper baskets were delivered to Zhong Wenting.

She and Shen Langzhi read them out, one by one, to determine who was in the same group as whom.

Basically, there are men and women in every group.

After they were grouped, there were still people in the wastebasket, but they couldn’t fit into one group.

Shen Yue said, "Each group will send someone to draw a card, and whoever is drawn will belong to their group."

It is basically guaranteed that as long as everyone is willing to participate, they will be allowed to participate.

In any competition, there will be a lottery.

Zhong Wenting came over to discuss with Shen Yue whether to set a lottery so that everyone can play more energetically.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "It's time to get lucky.

Go to the warehouse and pick out a few high-quality inkstones, calligraphy and paintings, and hostas.

There will be seven for men and women.

The winning group will each pick the same thing."

Zhong Wenting nodded, "That's just right.

I'll pick it up."

Shen Langzhi came over and said, "Since it is a competition, someone needs to be the referee.

Who will be the referee?"

Zhong Wenting laughed and said, "Do you even need to ask?

There are so many ladies here today.

If you go tell Fourth Aunt, you can call as many ladies as you want."

Shen Langzhi said, "Originally it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea for everyone to play around with, but now it has become a serious competition."

Zisu couldn't help but answered, "A serious competition is the most fun."

Even the maid thought this was good, so Shen Langzhi said, "Then I'll ask the maid to tell Fourth Aunt."

Soon, the fourth wife came over, followed by a bunch of ladies.

They were bored in the house.

When the fourth wife heard that there was a competition in the garden, she became interested.

When she told them, the ladies thought that such a competition was novel.

In addition, they came with either their sons or their daughters.

Yes, they are also curious about who their sons and daughters will be paired with and which group will win.

No, everyone followed.

The fourth wife smiled and said, "Which one of you is willing to be the referee?"

Mrs.

Lin'an Hou smiled and said, "Count me in."

Soon, there were six referees.

Not to mention, the fourth master over there also brought a bunch of people over, and those masters also wanted to be referees.

No, the referees changed from six to eight, and they were divided in half.

The young masters and ladies from the aristocratic families who were going to participate in the competition suddenly felt the pressure.

Weren't they just having fun?

Why did they all come over to watch.

This is more stressful than attending a banquet in the palace.

After all, before you were alone, winning or losing would not delay others.

Now everyone is in groups.

If you win, you will win.

If you lose, you will cheat your teammates.

I was obviously here to congratulate you, so why did you attend an interesting banquet by the way?

Zhong Wenting admired Shen Yue very much.

She thought about how to make everyone have fun.

From morning to night, she also asked Zhong Yuting and Zhong Ruting to help.

Together, they were not as good as Shen Yue's casual words.

It's a pity that Prince Xuan's Mansion doesn't hold banquets, otherwise it would be extremely interesting.

Because there were many referees, Shen Yue implemented a scoring method that eliminated the highest score and the lowest score.

After the competition of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, there were also pairs, lantern riddles, and the like.

Before, Zhong Wenting was worried that the lantern riddles and pairs she had prepared were not sufficient, but seeing so many masters coming, she was no longer worried.

These adults are well-read in poetry and books, and making a pair is just a piece of cake for them.

After getting ready, the gongs and drums are beaten, and the competition begins.

Draw lots to decide what to compare first.

This important task was again given to Shen Yue.

Play the piano.

After she read two words, the boy brought the piano table over and placed it in the center.

"Who comes first?"

Shen Yue said with a smile.

After she finished speaking, no one spoke.

Just when she said she wanted to draw lots, a man raised his hand and said, "I'll go first."

After all, he is a man.

If he let a girl compete first, wouldn't it be a joke?

It’s all about competition anyway, so why not go up there openly.

After the man played the piano, he was then scored.

After removing the highest score and the lowest score, the boy scored.

Then it was the other groups' turn to compete on stage.

After playing the piano, it’s time to paint.

Then came poetry.

When it comes to dance competitions, ladies compete in ordinary dances, while men compete in sword dances.

In the garden, everyone was very enthusiastic, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.

The fourth wife is a little anxious.

It’s time for the banquet.

Looking at the posture, it’s still early.

Aren’t you hungry?

She didn't want to disturb others, so she went to ask Shen Yue what he meant.

Shen Yue didn't expect everyone to have such a good time, so she said, "Let's hold the banquet after the competition.

I'm afraid everyone will be hungry, so I'll serve more cakes."

Shen Yue put forward her opinion, and the fourth wife asked Shen Jun again, and finally complied.

After the serious competition, there is a free competition, which is the answering session.

One point will be deducted for wrong answers and one point will be added for correct answers.

Before the competition, everyone was very quiet in order not to disturb everyone.

At this moment, the rush to answer the question was particularly lively.

The fighting was brutal.

The right minister smiled and said, "This method of competition is really novel and interesting.

Who came up with it?"

The Fourth Master smiled and said, "The Crown Princess came up with it."

The Right Prime Minister touched his beard and sighed, "The prince's concubine is thoughtful, intelligent and filial.

She is a blessing to the Shen family and to our Ning Dynasty
