Zhong Chuchu felt very confused. Why did she feel inexplicable hostility from this woman?

"Magistrate Lu, I heard that you also invited the inventor of woodblock printing today?"

Mo Yu asked lazily:
  "I wonder if you can introduce it to us all so that we can pay our respects to who is the person who can receive the reward from His Majesty."

As he spoke, he stared at Zhong Chuchu with an unknown smile on his face.

Zhong Chuchu looked calm, as if she was not talking about her.

Only then did Magistrate Lu remember that he had invited such a person here today.

He looked around the entire banquet and saw the young lady named Zhong Chuchu at the women's banquet.

It's just that the other party stands out from the crowd, even if you don't want to be invisible.

Magistrate Lu almost forgot about such a person, but now he heard Mo Yu mention it, and he was very grateful.

His original intention was to appease Madam Zhong, so as not to fall behind the truth.

Now that someone was asking about it, I just followed the trend and wanted to publicize her achievements for her.

He smiled and said: "Since Mr. Mo mentioned it, I will solemnly introduce it to everyone."

He stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation:

"This is Mrs. Zhong who invented engraving and printing. She is our great hero and the pride of our Yuyang County. She was rewarded by His Majesty for this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Chuchu.

At the male guests' table, there were many people secretly asking about her.

After learning her identity, several people had other thoughts.

I have long heard that Mrs. Zhong lost her husband at a young age and still had two children by herself.

I thought she was an ordinary peasant woman, but she turned out to be such a beauty!

Seeing everyone staring at her, Zhong Chuchu didn't feel too nervous.

After all, my previous job was to face a lot of people, and I have long been accustomed to being watched.

She stood up gracefully.

"Everyone, I'm just lucky. If it were everyone here, they could do better than me!"

As she stood up, her figure became even more enchanting, making the guests at the men's table mesmerized.

As a result, she became a savage beast in the women's banquet, and everyone unconsciously distanced themselves from her. Only Lan Ruoyue was still beside her, with a kind smile on her face from beginning to end.

"Mrs. Zhong is truly a woman! This engraving and printing technology is simply an invention that benefits the country and the people."

Someone praised:
  "Brother Zheng is right. A woman who can do this is simply better than a man!"

"Yep, it is……"

Many people followed suit.

I don’t know if it’s out of sincerity or if it’s for some other reason.

Mo Yu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Looking at her, she looked calm and elegant, but he really wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

He proposed:

"Magistrate Lu, since Mrs. Zhong is so talented, how about letting her perform other talents?"

Everyone enjoyed watching the beauty's performance and agreed one after another.

Magistrate Lu glanced at him without leaving any trace, and he already knew it in his heart.

Madam Zhong was born in a peasant family, so what kind of talent could she have? She could invent printing, but she doesn't necessarily have talent. The two are unrelated.

It seemed that Mr. Mo deliberately wanted her to make a fool of herself, so it was no wonder that he would target her.

Magistrate Lu was one of the insiders.

I know that Madam Zhong gave the engraving and printing technique to Mo Yu that day and asked him to report it. I don’t know whether Mrs. Zhong is simple or thoughtful.

If Mo Zicheng hadn't taken the credit, Mo Yu might have died today.

But in the end, this credit came round and round, but it still came back to Mrs. Zhong.

Not only were the obstacles cleared, but they were also rewarded!
  If she really had a plan, then this Madam Zhong is really deep in the city and very scheming!

But seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he didn't want to offend the Mo family.

Magistrate Lu thought for a while, although he knew Madam Zhong's life experience, after all, Lang Jun was a scholar, so he couldn't know everything.

So he had to say:
  "Mr. Mo's proposal is very good. I wonder if Madam Zhong is willing to do it?"

The charming lady looked at Zhong Chuchu coldly:
  "Yes, now that Magistrate Lu has spoken, Madam Zhong should stop being modest and perform for everyone."

Magistrate Lu just said that she was the inventor of engraving and printing, and someone has already found out her identity.

She is just a peasant woman in the town, what talents can she perform!
  The female relatives all looked at her with gloating eyes.

Lan Ruoyue also heard others talking and frowned.

Even if she has great talent, due to birth restrictions and the fact that the young lady who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting has already performed before, what decent thing can she come up with?
  But the eldest lady of the Fu family just said this for Magistrate Lu's sake.

If Mrs. Zhong refuses at this time, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the county magistrate?

She was about to speak and plead for Zhong Chuchu, but at worst, she would say that she was performing for her.

Although she has always been introverted, she is most afraid of this kind of situation.

After all, she spoke for herself just now.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Chuchu blinked her eyes, stood up and said:
  "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I would rather be respectful than obey."

This kind of pediatric-level performance is not a piece of cake for her who has been an artist since elementary school.

Those who want to see her make a fool of themselves may be disappointed!
  Jingchu didn't know when he had arrived here, but he just stood far away and looked at her.

I just feel that her eyes are very different from others.

Like the deep well water under the moon, it is extremely clear and deep, but there is something cold lying across the bottom of the eyes, which makes people unclear.

When everyone heard her say this, they felt that she was being arrogant.

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting all need to be cultivated from an early age, and all the ladies here are experts at it.

What happened to Miss Fu just now was an accident.

And she!

Even after marrying Lin Xiucai, she learned some talents.

But if you start too late, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to learn anything.

No one believed that she had any talents that she could show off.

The female relatives wanted her to make a fool of herself, but the male guests didn't care. It would be good to take another look at the beauty.

Who cares about her talent?
  If you want to listen to music and play the piano, you will have your own singing girl and piano player. Professional things will naturally be left to professionals.

They are just trying to have fun.

Song Yan, on the other hand, really worried about her!
  There was a murmur in my heart:
  What's going on with Mr. Mo? Didn't he help Mrs. Zhong make engravings before?
  Zhong Chuchu didn't care about the surrounding eyes at all and walked to the pavilion gracefully.

"Please give me a moment, the magistrate, to burn incense. I need to prepare something."

She said calmly and leisurely.

Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "Go."

She walked through the corridor until no one could see her anymore, then turned around and said to the maid following behind her:
  "Please help me prepare these things."

After hearing her words, the maid had a puzzled look on her face, but she still hurried to get ready.
