Queen of flowers - chapter 141

Jiao Tong also arranged the test. Feng Liao and Yong Ruo came to the Houzhuo Garden.

The style of Shouzhuo Garden was very different from the Qinfang Garden. It was not so exquisite, and was more inclined to the natural scenery of the village.

It was said that Feng Liao strived to create such a garden because once he was envious of the garden master of the Ministry of Industry. Even the emperor once joked that he didn’t need to save money for him.

Yong Ruo imitated the variety shows in her previous lives, and organized a level game in this garden.

The first level was to kick the shuttlecock, the second level was to walk the cable bridge, and the third level was to step on stilts.

The shuttlecock must be kicked ten times at a time. If there weren’t enough kicks or the shuttlecock fell, they had to count from the beginning.

Of course, for walking on the cable bridge or stepping on stilts, one couldn’t drop in the middle. Or they had to start again from the beginning.

For the sake of safety, the cable bridge was built on a piece of grass. The bridge deck was very narrow but short. Although there were no guardrails and handrails, there wasn’t much risk when falling.

Stilts weren’t tied to the legs. At the end, a long bamboo pole that was one person tall, two horizontal platforms for the feet were fixed. When a person steps on that platform, their feet would be on the horizontal bracket. Holding the upper end of the bamboo pole, the person would go forward with their hands and feet. If one lost their balance, they could jump off the platform support at any time, and the risk of falling was greatly reduced.

Whoever passed through these three levels in less time, would win.

Of the three items selected by Yong Ruo, the only one that really counted as an advantage to her was the stilts, which she used to play. But she couldn’t play shuttlecock well. It was probably okay to hit it five, six, seven times consecutively, but it was a bit difficult to do ten consecutively.

After hearing the rules, Feng Liao looked at the shuttlecock and said, “Why kick the shuttlecock? I would rather kick a ball!”

Yong Ruo smiled, ” Wang Ye said it personally, whatever I decide, Wang Ye will cooperate. Isn’t the shuttlecock related to flexibility?”

Feng Liao laughed, “Naturally I will cooperate! Benwang had spoken already. Who will go first?”

Yong Ruo said with great vigor, “The rules are set by Qie, so I will let Wang Ye choose who will go first.”

Feng Liao said, “Rourou you go first! These things are unfamiliar to me. I will look at it first.”

“Okay, you look at me first.”

Yong Ruo started to warm up. She asked the eunuch and maids, “Why don’t you cheer for this Furen?”

Maids such as Hua Rou and Yu Jing and eunuchs such as Jiao Zhu laughed and said, “Slave wishes Furen success!”

When Feng Liao saw this, he also asked the people around him to cheer for him. Even Jiao Tong said, “The old slave wishes Wang Ye a great victory!”

Yong Ruo protested, “Supervisor Jiao you are the referee. You can’t be biased!” Others said, “You must supervise General Manager Jia, and don’t allow him to be partial to Wang Ye.”

In this lively atmosphere, Jiao Tong lit the incense.

Yong Ruo started kicking the shuttlecock and the eunuchs around her helped her count with great excitement. Their voice became louder.

She was a little rusty in kicking the shuttlecock, but she still had kicked six times row. When the victory was in sight, the shuttlecock flew a little high and a little far away.

She hurried forward two steps and stretched out her legs when the shuttlecock fell; she kicked it directly.

“Oh …” Hua Rou, Yu Jing, Jiao Zhu and others made a huge regretful sound.

“It’s okay, I’ll do it again!” Yong Ruo picked up the shuttlecock and did it again from the beginning.

The second time, she kicked eight times and missed the ninth time; the third time, she kicked abnormally only till five; the fourth time, she kicked seven …

It wasn’t until the fifth time that she kicked ten and successfully passed the game.

Hua Rou and others cheered loudly.

Xiao Guizi and others around Feng Liao glanced at him with some worries.

The cable bridge wasn’t easy to walk. The bridge deck was only one book wide. As people stepped on it, it shook hard. It was difficult to stand on firmly.

“Oh! Furen be careful.”

Every time they saw her dangling, as if she was about to fall, Hua Rou and others couldn’t wait to step forward to help.

Feng Liao also walked to the cable bridge, intending to help if Yong Ruo fell.

Yong Ruo kept her balance intently. Instead of rushing to achieve success, she moved forward steadily and little by little. In the end, she passed but spent a lot of time.

Yong Ruo’s strength was on stilts.

She grabbed the bamboo pole, stepped on the platform support at the edge of the bamboo pole very easily, grabbed the bamboo pole and walked forward, and soon reached the end.

“Okay! Supervisor Jiao, quickly extinguish the incense!” When she jumped off the stilts, she immediately told him to stop the time.

Hua Rou and other maids all cheered.

Jiao Tong shook, pulled out the incense from the incense burner and put it aside.

That incense stick burned for a little while.

Feng Liao looked at the shuttlecock and stilts, and felt a headache. He scratched his head. He had a feeling that he was about to lose. However, he took the game with pride and said to the people around, “Okay! You all cheer for me.”

Jiao Tong lit the incense.

Feng Liao copied what Yong Ruo did. He threw the shuttlecock into the air and stretched his feet to kick.

With his shabby look, he didn’t kick the shuttlecock at first. Then kicked too hard with too much force …

After five or six consecutive kicks, Feng Liao finally found a little foot feel and was able to kick a few times.

When he finally kicked ten consecutive times, the remaining length of the incense wasn’t much longer than Yong Ruo’s.

Miao:Stilts are poles, posts or pillars that allow a person or structure to stand at a height above the ground.
