Han Shimou

I saw two pots of orchids in the wing room, exuding a burst of fragrance, the decoration is simple and clumsy, but it has a different charm.However, the brilliance in this wing room was quickly attracted by a woman with a veil, meteor eyes, graceful figure, beautiful clothes and light yellow clothes.When the veiled woman saw Ma Zhao, her eyes lit up, and behind her stood a maidservant, who was also extremely pretty, but her eyes had a hint of arrogance, one could tell that she came from a rich family. He obviously seems to be superior and arrogant, but he pretends to be nonchalant, so he can't help but feel angry and speak out against him.

"You Ma Zhao, you think you have a little bit of talent, but you dare to neglect my lady like this, you know it!"

The maid was speaking, when suddenly Ma Zhao smiled, wearing a robe of orchid flowers, white and beautiful, with a personable demeanor, this smile was no less amazing than the beauty of the country, and the maid was stunned for a while.The veiled woman said calmly and calmly.

"Xiao Lan, don't be presumptuous."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid named Xiaolan obediently responded and stopped speaking.Ma Zhao was also presumptuous, so he sat across from the veiled woman, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.

"I don't know that Ms. Wang is here this time, but she also wants to compete with Zhao, thesis versus poetry, and the winner will be the same."

When the veiled woman heard this, her crescent-like black eyebrows frowned slightly. With just this ordinary movement, she was astonishingly glamorous. Seeing me felt pity. If the veil was taken off, she must be a peerless beauty!

"No. Your son is knowledgeable and talented. The little girl is no match for you, but this poem and prose can be regarded as elegant in the peaceful and prosperous age, but now the world is still in troubled times, and it may not be useful."

The veiled woman had starlight in her eyes, and she was faintly arrogant, but she was different from that Xiaolan.The arrogance of the veiled woman is because she is well-versed in Chinese and ink, and has extraordinary talents and learning.Hearing this, Ma Zhao smiled even more, as if shining brightly, and said calmly.

"Oh? I don't know what high opinion Ms. Wang has? Zhaoding is all ears."

"Nowadays when martial arts are still practiced, I don't know if the young master dares to learn from the little girl in battle formation?"

The veiled woman seemed unmoved by Ma Zhao's demeanor, and said softly.Ma Zhao smiled inwardly, nodded slightly and said.

"It just so happens that Zhao Yi knows a thing or two about this art of warfare. Dare to ask Ms. Wang to enlighten me!"

The veiled woman heard the words, but she was also secretly happy. She had read a lot of books since she was a child, and her family education was extremely strict.His father scolded him many times.Later, because of one person, she persuaded her father to make her wish come true.Thinking of that person, the face of the veiled woman turned red, and she was immediately overwhelmed with beauty.Ma Zhao looked at it, frowned, and a bit of jealousy flashed in his eyes.The veiled woman opened her small cherry mouth lightly, and spoke to Xiaolan in a voice like a yellow warbler.Xiaolan came out in response, and when she passed by Ma Zhao, she still snorted coldly.After a while, Xiaolan took two strong men with her, and she knew at a glance that they were elite soldiers in disguise, which naturally couldn't be hidden from Ma Zhao.The two men held a huge sand table in their hands, each with small flags and strange stones, the strange stones were different and exquisitely made, at first glance, they seemed to be in a formation.Ma Zhao's eyes lit up, and he sighed.

"I don't know who made this sand table, but it's really ingenious!"

When the veiled woman heard this, the man's figure flashed in her mind again, her eyes lit up, and she replied softly.

"This is a military basin. It was made by the little girl when she was eight years old. The little girl regards it as a treasure, and today she will not hesitate to use it to learn from you. I hope you will be careful not to damage it."

From the words of the veiled woman, it can be seen that she has a special feeling for both the military basin and the owner who built the military basin.Ma Zhao felt as if his stomach was on fire, and his competitive spirit was stirred up, and he said in a concentrated voice.

"Such a rare thing, Zhao will naturally cherish it with care. However, I think Miss Wang must be very familiar with this military basin. This seems unfair to Zhao. Forgive Zhao, if Zhao wins by chance, can Miss Wang tell her his full name? "

"You prodigal son, who is my lady, how can you be presumptuous!?"

When Xiaolan heard this, she was extremely annoyed, pointing at Ma Zhao and yelling at him.The veiled woman looked gentle and looked at Ma Zhao lightly, but responded softly.

"Forget it. Anyway, after this contest, the little girl will act like a stranger to the young master, and it doesn't matter if she leaves her name."

When Ma Zhao heard this, there was a faint change on his face.The veiled woman seemed unwilling to say any more, she waved her words, and made a gesture of invitation, her icy muscles and bones were slightly exposed when her clothes moved, and bursts of red were glowing on her snow-white and crystal-clear skin.Seeing that Ma Zhao lost color for a while, he quickly stabilized his mood.Ma Zhao has always acted freely, which is rare, or what the veiled woman said just now, made Ma Zhao's heart flustered.After the veiled woman and Ma Zhao explained the rules, they set up their positions.After a while, the two used strange stones as soldiers, and each set up a battle.The veiled woman looked at Ma Zhao's stone formation, her eyes were quite startled, and she said slightly.

"What a tidy flock of five tigers and sheep!"

"Hehe. What's the use of trivial skills? Miss Wang's four-door pocket array is also extraordinary!"

Ma Zhao smiled lightly, and the veiled woman looked shocked.After the two looked at each other, the veiled woman made another gesture of invitation to Ma Zhao.Ma Zhao then reached out to grab a basin next to the sand table, and took out a wooden strip with the word '日' written on it.It turns out that the owner of the sand table even took climate change into consideration.The word '日' on this line means that the weather in Binbon is sunny and sunny.

"It's neither good nor bad."

Ma Zhao smiled slightly, and after casting a wink with the veiled woman, he began to fiddle with the strange stones on the military basin.The veiled woman did not neglect, so she also started to swing the stone formation.This contest lasted for several hours, Ma Zhao always had a calm demeanor, but the veiled woman's black eyebrows became more and more wrinkled.Ma Zhao's formation of five tigers and sheep is an attacking formation, and now he has entered the four-door formation of the veiled woman, and the formation looks messy.The veiled woman is trying to save her.Unexpectedly, Ma Zhao is not only very good at the formation of five tigers and sheep, but also familiar with the formation of four gates, restraining the number of changes one by one.The starry eyes of the veiled woman changed suddenly, and the formation changed suddenly. Strange stones gathered together, but she wanted to retreat in order to advance.Ma Zhao let out a 'huh', this step had hidden murderous intentions, if he attacked rashly, the situation would change immediately, and he would undoubtedly lose.

"What a strange woman! If I see through the trick, it will probably make her suspicious. But..."

Ma Zhao's mind was fixed, the strange stone swayed, the two wings attacked first, and the middle line responded, while the rear army's two wings stood still.The face of the veiled woman changed, and she finally sighed and said silently.

"It was the little girl who lost."

"Hehe. Let's go, let's go. It's a fluke again!"

Ma Zhao smiled brilliantly, as if he didn't care about the outcome at all.The eyes of the veiled woman tightened, and there were bursts of splendor in them.This Ma Zhao is not only erudite and talented, but also handsome, personable, and talented.If it was a Pingxun woman, she would have fallen in love with Ma Zhao already, almost obsessed.However, the veiled woman was born rich and noble, and she is also a rare woman in the world. In addition, she already has a lover in her heart, so she only admires Ma Zhao.Ma Zhao is not an arrogant person, but he also knows his own charm. He thought that being able to get along for many days would not only convince the veiled woman, but also move her heart.But what surprised Ma Zhao was that the veiled woman didn't seem to care about him at all.He only heard the veiled woman open her small cherry mouth lightly, got up slowly, made a little salute, and said.

"The young master is too modest. The young lady has been studying this war basin since she was a child, and the young master's talent is even better than the young girl. The little girl is convinced by defeat. In the past few days, whether it is poetry or poetry, or formation and military studies, the young master is more and more talented. The little girl is ahead. It can be seen that the young master is a genius in this world, and it is a pity to stay in this Zuixianlou."

When Ma Zhao heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head and smiled lightly.

"Zhao is nothing but idle clouds and wild cranes. He is used to being unrestrained. I have not considered the matter of becoming an official. It's just a pity that Ms. Wang's talent is not inferior to Zhao, and she has the ambition to serve the country. If she is a man..."

There was something in Ma Zhao's words, and the veiled woman's expression changed slightly when she heard it, as if what Ma Zhao had said hit her heart.But soon the veiled woman came back to her senses and replied quickly.

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue. It's a little girl's honor to meet you. It's getting late, so let's say goodbye."

As soon as the veiled woman saluted, she wanted to leave.Ma Zhao took a step and vaguely stopped the veiled woman from leaving.The veiled woman frowned, and the maid Xiaolan wanted to scold her.At this moment, Ma Zhao said with a smile.

"Excuse me for being an abrupt beauty. I wonder if Ms. Wang can leave her name behind?"

When the veiled woman heard this, the slight displeasure gradually faded away.After all, the two had made a bet earlier, and the veiled woman was not arrogant and refused to admit defeat, even Miss Qianjin, who refused to tell anyone her name, replied softly.

"The little girl's name is Yuan Ji."

"Wang Yuanji?"

Ma Zhao murmured silently in his heart, then smiled happily and moved away.Wang Yuanji bowed and left quietly with Xiaolan.After a while, those two big men came in and moved the soldier basin away.Ma Zhao glanced curiously, and said in his heart.

"I don't know who made this military basin, let me make a divination to see."

Ma Zhao thought about it, then sat back on the seat just now, and took out the 64 hexagrams of Zhouyi.After fiddling for a while, Ma Zhao showed a satisfied smile and murmured.

"According to this hexagram, I will meet the master of this soldier basin soon, which is really exciting."

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded in the corridor made of rosewood outside the wing room.Ma Zhao said in a low voice with some regret.

"Has Miss Wang left?"

"That's right. When the villain sees Miss Wang leaving in a hurry, her maid seems to be somewhat resentful. It seems that the famous and talented Queen Yuan Ji in Chang'an is far from being the second master's opponent."

He only heard the man's voice calm and loud, it was Ma Guang.
