The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 69 She doesn’t even dare to brag like that

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yinong put the wine cup heavily on the low table, staring at Wei Jiuqing with contemptuous and cold eyes, "Your Wei family is a royal family?!"

Wei Jiuqing smelled a bad breath, forced a smile, and unconsciously lowered his voice, "Why are you joking, Mr. Jiang? My Wei family is naturally not a royal family."

"Are you Wei Jiuqing the prince?"

"This...I am naturally not a prince."

"You are neither a royal nor a prince, how can you deserve to have my daughter as a concubine?" Jiang Yinong sneered, "My daughter, no matter how concubine she is, will never become a concubine even if she dies! A girl who is willing to be a concubine, You don't deserve to be my daughter of the Jiang family!"

Wei Jiuqing felt ashamed and couldn't help but stroke the handle of the fan gently to suppress his irritation.

This high-ranking middle-aged man is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

He kindly helped him save his daughter's life, but instead he was despised and ridiculed...

"Young boy from the Wei family," Jiang Yi said in a deep voice, "I thought you looked like a human, but I didn't expect you to be ambitious. However, your ability is not enough to support your ambition. You can only rely on women and marriage. Seek power and wealth. People like you look smart but are actually stupid and have no ambition. You won’t get far in the future. Let alone concubines, even if you want my daughter to be your head wife, I will never agree to it. Yes. Get out of here!"

Wei Jiuqing's hand holding the handle of the fan tightened involuntarily, and his fair cheeks gradually became blush.

He was smart since he was a child and was often praised by his father and elders.

Even today's emperor once praised him for his cleverness and amazing talent.

In the huge city of Luojing, no one has ever dared to judge him as dull and lacking in thoughtfulness!

Except for Gu Tingzhou, his official position is not inferior to that of any gentleman of his age.

He walked step by step to today...

How much hardship did he put in to get to where he is today step by step?

But this old man said that he only relied on women and marriage to gain power and wealth!

He raised his eyelids, with a half-smile, "Master Jiang's way of looking at people is too biased. As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. Mr. Jiang is old and doesn't understand our younger generation. The pedantic ideas of the past are still Don't apply it to younger generations."

He stood up angrily, "Farewell!"

The entourage watched him step out of Xianlefang, and said softly: "My lord, we are newcomers, so it may not be right to offend the Wei family rashly."

"What's so scary?" Jiang Yinong didn't care, chewing beef, "In my opinion, among the younger generations of the Luojing clan, only Gu Tingzhou can see through it, and that little girl from the He family is pretty good too— - It's a pity that she is a girl. Otherwise, with her skills, she will definitely have a place among the fierce generals guarding the border in the future."

The next day.

The autumn rain has just stopped, and the branches and leaves outside the window are green, and a few clusters of chrysanthemums have formed a thin layer of buds.

He Yao was sleeping soundly, and was pulled up from the bed by Chun Nong, "Girl, don't sleep now, it's time to go to the Imperial College to study! Otherwise, you will take a few duck eggs home for the next exam!"

He Yao tidied up in a daze, then climbed into the carriage going to the Imperial College in a daze.

Yuan Wang helped her up, and was already used to her not sleeping well.

After looking at He Yao, he said with concern: "We haven't seen her for a few days. Why is she getting more and more haggard? She seems to have lost some weight."

He Yao was full of grievances.

During that time in the Mantou Cave, she didn't eat or sleep well. How could she not lose weight?
Yuan Wang took out a plate of flower cakes from the food box, "I saw that the chrysanthemums in the mansion were all in bloom, so I couldn't resist picking some, dried them, ground them into pollen, and made flower cakes with noodles. The craftsmanship is rough, Just try it first, if you don't like it, I'll keep it for myself."

On the blue and white porcelain plate lay six petal-shaped pastries.

Some are crystal clear, some are pink and waxy, and each piece is decorated with a small chrysanthemum, which shows that it is made with care.

He Yao was completely sleepless and picked up a piece in surprise, "You can also make pastries?!"

Yuan Wang smiled, "The poor in the family have nothing to do well. Apart from cakes, they can also cook ordinary meals."

He Yao tasted it, the flower cake was sweet but not greasy, soft and glutinous, with a strong fragrance of glutinous rice.

delicious!
She couldn't help looking at Yuan Wang again.

The young man in front of him, Lang Bao, was clean and clean in his clothes. He was obviously a gentleman as gentle as jade, but when he smiled, his eyes were full of unruliness, which was the wildness and pride unique to northern youths.

He is so good, not only good at reading, but also cooking...

In Luojing City, there is no second place to be found.

Holding the flower cake, she secretly thought that her grandfather and Aye were so foresighted in booking this marriage for her so many years in advance, otherwise there would be no telling how many young ladies would compete with her in the future!
Yuan Wang asked, "Is it to your taste?"

He Yao nodded quickly, "It's delicious, I really like it!"

Yuan Wan felt relieved and made her a cup of almond tea, "These pastries were all made by me when I was free. They are a bit rough after all, and they are incomparable to those of chefs who specialize in making pastries. My cooking skills have grown year after year. I'm afraid she's also above me. I heard from the stewards in the mansion that besides being a famous actress in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Sui Sui is also one of the best in Luo Jing's cooking, and can cook 81 or [-] dishes."

He Yao almost lost her composure while eating almond tea.

Can she cook 81 dishes?
Why doesn't she know it herself? !

Those stewards bragged too much!

She can scramble an egg to burn it!

Her cheeks were slightly red, so she could only vaguely say: "Slightly, let's understand a little bit."

"By the way, I have been writing books and talking about it during this time. I wonder what the result will be?" Yuan Wang was very interested, "Can I have a look at the book you wrote?"

"Ah, the book I wrote..." He Yao rubbed her forehead guiltily.

The little Marquis has such a good memory that he still remembers her writing a book after so many days.

It's all because of Chun Nong's fault. I haven't been able to write a book for her these few days at the mansion, so what is she going to do?

She lowered her head and rummaged through the small bundle for a long time, and finally pulled out a picture album.

It was drawn when she was fishing in class.

She hugged the picture album tightly, not daring to look directly into Yuan Wang's eyes, "I originally planned to write a book, but then I suddenly became interested in drawing, so I didn't write a book, but drew some little things instead... It would be dirty. It's better not to look at Lord Hou's eyes."

"What's the point?" Yuan Wang stretched out his hand to take it, "The stewards in the mansion said that Sui Sui's paintings are very exquisite, lifelike and full of fun, and they were once framed by the emperor and hung in the imperial study. I am the one who appreciates your paintings." an honor."

He Yao: "..."

She was completely shocked.

Her painting was framed by the emperor and hung in the imperial study? !
She didn't dare to brag like that herself, what happened to those stewards in the mansion? !
They are crazy!

Seeing Yuan Wan opening the picture album, He Yao turned away shyly.
