The first three, she could understand, were a woman’s virtue, culture, and the basic female redness that the women of this tribe had to know, none of which were difficult to understand.
But divination, that sounded a bit unbelievable.
It was metaphysics. Were all the women in the royal court that good? They had to know this.
Jing Yufei was thoroughly intrigued as she stared upwards.
Sure enough, as the High Priest went to the three candidate girls, the first thing he gave the three of them was a big red handkerchief, that handkerchief, very light and thin, at a glance it was made of good silk.
“This is the first contest, and this is the handkerchief that will be used for your wedding when you are elected, so show what you have learned in your lives and begin.”
The High Priestess began to give the task.
The girls listened, and at once, after a flash of nervousness on their faces, they immediately took the handkerchief from this priest and began to fly the needle and thread to show it off.
The people on the floor just stared, especially the two ethnic groups that had come for the election.
They looked at the young lady above them and were simply more nervous than if they were competing themselves.
Jing Yufei was also watching.
However, her eyes, at this point, were looking more at the young girl called Ah Lan, and because she was so annoying, she spent a little more time looking at her than the others.
As a result, much to her amus*ment, this woman was clearly not as fast and well embroidered as the other two.
Oh ……
Jing Yufei gloated a bit.
Sure enough, after the round, the handkerchief, the best embroiderer was the lady from the Cang Lan clan, in just half an hour, she actually embroidered a lifelike parallel lotus on it.
What a feat!
When Jing Yufei saw it, she also gave this Miss of the Cang Lan Clan a heartfelt nod of approval.
“Really, our family’s young lady is so powerful, that woman, what can she do to fight us?”
“That’s right!”
The young girl from the Cang Lan Clan sitting next to her also sneered disdainfully.
Jing Yufei just laughed.
However, what was strange to her was that in the face of losing the first round, that Ah Lan on the stage, actually didn’t panic at all, she just acted as if nothing was wrong and continued to wait for the next round.
Did she think there was still a chance for the following competition?
Jing Yufei was even more annoyed.
At the same time, the young man who had been sitting next to the chief on the altar, also had little expression, he was wearing the magnificent hair crown that the high priest had just put on him personally, cold eyebrows and light eyes, that silent and cold look, as if everything that was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Alas ……
Jing Yufei let out a sigh.
Soon, the competition on the altar, again into the second round, this time, is the literacy and family holding.
For literacy, the daughters of the headmen in this tribe, usually after birth, would choose knowledgeable old ada to teach them, so this, the contest was not in doubt.
The three men fought to a draw.
As for holding a home ……
“Sixteenth Lang, please have some tea!”
The maiden in the phoenix crown and cape, after finally arriving at this part, looked like she had brought out all of her usual hush and considerate look in the royal court.
She knelt before the young man with the cup of carefully brewed tea.
Tea, too, was not common in Vaï.
It is something that originated in the south of the river, it purifies the mind, cultivates the body and is a way of life that people use to spend their leisure time.
But this is not possible in Waj, where the economy is so backward that the tribesmen, who have time to drink this when they can’t work hard enough to feed themselves three times a day, have no time to drink it?
They would be lucky to have a sip of cold water.
Everyone was looking at the offspring of this foreign married woman who knew nothing about anything.
The two young ladies from the Canglan and Menglian clans, after seeing this scene, even showed a hint of disdain as they held the fine snacks they had just made in their hands.
However, what threw them for a loop was that the young man who spoke little actually had a pair of beautiful narrow eyes that lit up after seeing the cup of tea.
“Did you just make this?”
“Yes, XVI Lang, it’s a single bush, it’s very famous out there.”
She said as she held the cup of fragrant tea broth.
Mono-bush?
The teenager showed an even more captivated gaze for a moment and took the cup of tea in full view of everyone.
“Oh my God, XVI Lang is drinking her tea!”
“Yes, how could he drink her tea? If he drank it, wouldn’t that woman have won the competition? If she wins, won’t it be a draw? What about the last round of divination?”
In just a few seconds, both the Cang Lan and Meng Lian clans under this altar were in a state of shock and anger.
Yes, the tea was drunk, which meant that they had won.
Then, the last hurdle left was divination.
The atmosphere on the altar began to become very sabre-rattling, even the chiefs and those who were the heads of the clan were all becoming serious at the moment, waiting for the outcome of the contest.
“King, do you really want Lan Long’s niece to be the consort of XVI Lang?”
The head of the inner court also came over at this time and asked in a low voice.
The chief’s face did not look so good.
“Of course not, didn’t Lan Long save Loge last time? I only promised him verbally to make up the numbers, how come the daughters of this Canglan and Menglian family are so bad? Also, on Maya’s and Jiyang’s side, why is this suddenly still happening?”
