Chapter 60
Si Ruiyan shook his head with a sneer, and stretched out his hand: "Since it's something outside of the body, it's worthless, then Miss Xiao should pay back the money you owe for the hairpin."

Xiao Qi was startled, and suddenly choked up her throat.

"The last time the son said how much money is that hairpin worth?" Xiao Ning pretended to be thinking, "I am a noble person who forgets things so much, sister help me think about it."

The two sang together.

Xiao Qi's face was distorted, she gritted her teeth and trembled all over.

She raised her eyes and took a slight look at Princess Jiahe, but she saw her standing upright, as if she had nothing to do with her, and there was a trace of disdain in her eyes.

In the gazebo, Xiao Qi became a joke.

Suddenly she saw a figure passing by outside the curtain.

"Mr. Chen!" She exclaimed and stepped forward, slightly opened the corner of the curtain, and her eyes were shining when she looked outside.

The person who was called was stunned, and quickly bent down and lowered his head: "I have seen Her Royal Highness."

Xiao Qi did not recognize the wrong person, she opened her smiling eyes, and turned her head to bless Fushen: "Forgive me for being rude, my friend has arrived, I am afraid I will be excused."

"You go." Princess Jiahe wished that she would leave quickly. With her in the pavilion, the surrounding air seemed to be polluted.

Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Ning coldly, and said with a light smile: "The poetry meeting is about to start, since my sister is here, why don't you show off your skills, otherwise the princess will be in vain."

After finishing speaking, she smiled cunningly and treacherously, saluted the princess, and then lifted the curtain and went out.

"Making things up." Princess Jiahe said secretly, frowning.

Xiao Ning stepped forward and lifted the curtain, revealing one eye to look outside.

But seeing Xiao Qi facing a handsome young man, the two of them were chatting and laughing, and the distance was still very close.

While speaking, Xiao Qi invited Mr. Chen to her seat, and poured tea and cups for him with her own hands.

Xiao Ning sneered in his heart, she really deserves to be a femme fatale.Earlier, he hooked up with a Mr. Hu and tricked him into paying 5 taels of gold, but he didn't expect to hook up with another one so soon.

"She's provoking you." Si Ruiyan stood behind Xiao Ning, and saw everything through the opened curtain.

"I don't have that ability to be in the limelight, but it's a pity that she won't shine today, she will only make a fool of herself." Xiao Ning turned around and winked at the princess.

Princess Jiahe understood, and said to the maid beside her, "Pass down the order, and the poem will begin."

The maid Fushen took the order and left.

Xiao Ning and the others left the gazebo and came to their seats.

The eunuch on the steps rang the gong, and the whole place fell silent.

The maid cleared her throat, and said softly: "The time has come, and the poetry meeting will start immediately. The princess said, today is a happy gathering. The so-called poems and songs can be compared. As long as there are rules among the people, you can show them to your heart's content. , eclectic."

"Okay!" Someone in the field shouted, and the rest followed suit.

The palace maid handed out the rice paper, and the servants of each son's daughter began to grind it.Their faces were flushed, each full of confidence.

Xiao Ning glanced at them, and his heart frowned slightly.

She had never seen many boudoir daughters in the field, and the ones in the hunting tent probably only came to five or six today.Looking at their gestures, and their calmness in talking and laughing, the poetry in their stomachs will not be too bad.

She glanced at Chu Ying who was sitting on her left: "It's not convenient for you to come forward in the boudoir daughter's competition. Do you have the confidence to deal with those young masters?"

Chu Ying smiled lightly, and sat upright: "None of these young masters have ever been to school, they are all taught by their masters at home. Working behind closed doors is self-styled, and I am more than enough to deal with them."

Princess Jiahe's post was sent to every family in the government, and the young masters of ordinary families didn't have any distinction.Life is easy, but it is inevitable that you don't think about making progress. Xiao Ning thinks that what Chu Ying said is right, these young masters may be things that are fancy but not useful.

At this time, Xiao Qi suddenly sighed in front of the table, and lowered her head in grievance.

"Miss Xiao, what's the matter? She seems unhappy?" Hu Gongzi was attracted by this sigh, and frowned worriedly.

Xiao Qi saves her nose, and covers her face with a handkerchief: "But I remembered something unpleasant, young master, don't worry, I'll just sit down and be fine."

Mr. Hu's brows deepened, and he quickly asked: "What is it that you are so worried about? If Miss Xiao is trustworthy, you can tell me. I am willing to relieve your worries."

"Really?" Xiao Qi's watery eyes sparkled and she looked pitiful.

Hu Gongzi's heart swayed, and his whole body was already soft.

"As long as it's not against nature, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever I want. If you just talk empty words, let me be struck by lightning!" He gestured three fingers and solemnly swore.

A hint of complacency flashed across Xiao Qi's eyes, and she glanced at Xiao Ning opposite, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.She leaned close to Mr. Hu's ear and whispered a few words.

Mr. Hu frowned instantly: "What should I do, it's just a matter of effort for me.

"He looked at Xiao Ning opposite, his eyes also released a wicked light.

The arena is ready in the arena, the young masters compete with each other in poetry and poetry, and the talents also show off their demeanor to each other.You came and I went for an hour, and I didn't feel that time had passed so long in the joy.

Gradually, the sons and daughters were tired, and there were a lot fewer people on stage.

"The poems and songs are endowed, let's make a match!" Mr. Chen jumped onto the ring.

He unfolded the folding fan, smiled slightly, and the young master's demeanor was fully displayed in front of everyone.

"I heard that the second lady of the Xiao family won the first place in the hunting poetry meeting, and the daughter of the account was refuted to the point of no more than three sentences. I would like to ask for advice to see if it is as exaggerated as what I said." Mr. Chen turned to Xiao who was sitting at the table. Ning clasped her fists together and smiled very bluntly.

After sitting for a long time, Xiao Ning's legs felt a little numb.

Seeing Xiao Qi crying in front of him, she pretended to be wronged to Mr. Chen.She had already seen that the two of them didn't have any good ideas, so what should come still came.

"A son like you wants to challenge a daughter?" Si Ruiyan whispered coldly, with a galloping look on his brows.

Chen Gongzi's heart trembled, and he said bravely: "Didn't Her Royal Highness say that today's poetry meeting does not need to be restrained, and the folk songs are all compared, so there is nothing wrong with comparing them again?"

After talking for a long time, he deliberately blurred the concepts of son and daughter.

The man has read poetry and books, and has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, waiting to be named on the gold list.But women only need to cultivate themselves and learn some elegant ways.Poetry is the national policy, and that is not what they should learn.

This young man proposed a competition to Qian Jin, which is equivalent to an eagle competing with a dove to fly higher.

"Second Miss Xiao can't afford to lose, can she?" Chen Gongzi sighed and shook his head, "I thought that the woman who recruited a son-in-law is different, but it seems that I am overthinking it."

Si Ruiyan's gaze flickered, his brows flying like swords.

"It's just a competition for fun, there's nothing you can't afford to lose." Xiao Ning secretly pressed Si Ruiyan's hand under the table, "Let's compare."

When she got up, she whispered, "I won't make you ashamed."

Si Ruiyan glanced sideways slightly, his expression slightly slowed down.

"I thought this poetry meeting would end like this, but I didn't expect the highlight to be here."

"Young master confronts a daughter, this has never happened in previous poetry conferences. Second Miss Xiao dares to challenge, so it can be seen that she is not an ordinary person."

"Isn't it? I was in that tent when I was hunting, but I heard about the pair of Miss Xiao Er. It's really amazing that it's a neat pair."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the ring.
