Lady Zhao

Chapter 76

"Big brother Zhuyu is in front, what Wen Wan did, I'm afraid I might be suspected of being a gangster." With so many eyes fixed on him, Zhao Wenwan opened his mouth not timidly, seeing the woman beside him showing a trace of mockery in surprise, lips She ticked the corner, and continued, "This girl has unique insights into the poems written by the Poetry Club. I think she is from a scholarly family. If you add some interest to the title, it will be no problem?"

The girl was called Zhao Wenwan, and although she was concerned about her status as the daughter of the Duke of Ding's mansion, she also raised her status a bit, thinking that Zhao Wenwan was more afraid of making a fool of herself, that's why she made this proposal, and she accepted it with a smile.

Only Zhao Wenxi, who was on the side, had deep eyes, wondering what Zhao Wenwan was going to do again, so don't let that girl get himself into trouble.It was really the sequelae of the Qionghua Banquet, and I was most afraid of Zhao Wenwan's unexpected move.

When Zhao Wenwan saw the person answering, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more brilliant. The wind blew up the corner of the hat, revealing a little grace through the veil, which was enough to make the male guests in the audience fall in love with him.

"Well, I'm afraid it's hard to surpass the big brother's work with the theme of Yongxue. I just have an idea, why not add other words to the word "Xue". No. 1 uses Yongxue without the word "Xue" as the poem, and the second person In addition to bringing the word "Xue" to add color, the third person also needs to indicate the time or region on this basis, how about the difficulty layer upon layer?"

Zhao Wenxi felt bad at the beginning after listening to it, and felt that Zhao Wenwan was taking the opportunity to punish people after listening to it. Not wanting to lose the wind, he asked for the first opportunity to make a fool of himself.After the girl was surprised, she became more and more unable to see through Zhao Wenwan's mind, so she took the second place before Zhao Wenwan could speak, and waited for her idiot to play herself to death.

Zhao Wenwan didn't compete with them either, the old god waited for the two of them to finish writing, and then he picked up the pen and handed it over.

After a while, three brocade cloths were sent out. For the sake of fairness, the names were not written after the order was shuffled, and they were passed on to everyone for comment. , but this verse...

When alstroemeria fly into the house, sit and watch the green bamboo become Qiongzhi.

The white brocade is fragrant without traces, and the snow of Yushu and Qiongpa is piled up.

With a sound of drawing Jiaojiaomen, the new moon and dusk in Fengting, the snow in front of the mountains and the waterfront.

After the attendant talked about the new gameplay of the women's seat, everyone had a different look at the verses that came out.It is known without elaboration that the last verse on the brocade cloth is the most difficult and the most challenging.

On the other end, the brocade cloth was finally passed back to Feng Yuxiu's hand. He looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't tell which one was made by which one. Most of the women's lyrics were graceful, but the last one matched his favorite.It's just that there was someone close to him who was thinking about it, so he didn't dare to comment for a while, but handed it to Gu Jingxing, and asked under his breath, "Which one do you choose?"

Gu Jingxing's gaze was gloomy, and he glanced over the three brocade cloths, and pointed his forefinger with sharp joints on the one that Feng Yuxiu was looking forward to, without dragging his feet at all, which surprised the latter.

"You don't have to worry about making the wrong choice, ask Miss Zhao's family to..."

Feng Yuxiu's words stopped in Gu Jingxing's cold eyes, and he opened his mouth when he thought this person couldn't speak, "This is what she did."

"Ah?" Feng Yuxiu was extremely surprised, "How did you see it?" After saying that, he turned the brocade cloth upside down, but he couldn't find any trace of cheating.

"Intuition." Gu Jingxing glanced far away, as if he could see through the veil and meet the woman sitting upright behind.

Feng Yuxiu looked at his friend's slightly sullen look, and was stunned to see goosebumps all over the place. The horoscope has not been written yet, can you restrain yourself!
Waiting for the attendant to return the ranking at the female family table, taking advantage of the gap, I couldn't help but curiously pulled the girl to ask, and saw that the latter looked determined to win, obviously very sure of what he was doing.That's right, Zhao Wenxi, a girl from the countryside who has never seen the world, chose the simplest one early, and then Zhao Wenwan, that idiot, forgive me for not being able to come up with any good words. Everyone should hold it, and don't look at the people who come today are all people with real talents and real learning.

"What kind of words did Miss Zhao write, let's talk about it first, and let the sisters appreciate it." The girl leaned against Zhao Wenwan's side, pretending to be friendly.

As soon as the voice fell, many people echoed, as if they had forgotten what happened before they went out.Zhao Wenwan's eyes swept over, and she learned how these young ladies pretended to be stupid, but she didn't intend to expose it. She has such a temperament, and if she has a grudge, the first one to bear the brunt is this crooked girl.

"I can't afford to be appreciative, after all, I'm just an idiot, am I not?" Zhao Wenwan said coldly with a faint smile on his lips.

Hearing her mentioning this issue, several people looked a little ugly on their faces, colorful, knowing that they had to pretend to be stupid to get over it, especially those who knew Zhao Wenwan's temper, they were even more low-key and petty, wishing to be an invisible person coming.

The woman sitting next to Zhao Wenwan was so choked that the back of her neck felt chills when she met her thoughtful gaze.

In just a short while, an attendant came over to reply, saying that the ranking was hand-picked by the Sixth Prince, and he kept the calligraphy, which was obviously very satisfactory.The three people involved were greatly surprised, except for Zhao Wenwan, the other two had other thoughts.

"Do you know which song it is?" the crooked girl asked anxiously.

The attendant shook his head and said he didn't know, he just asked the three girls to go ahead, the sixth prince will reward them.

To be able to fall into the eyes of the Sixth Prince, that would be a big deal, and I still leave calligraphy to see in person, if this is a pair of eyes... most people here think so, and they all look envious when they look at the three of them , hidden jealousy.Someone winked at the crooked-mouthed girl, and whispered congratulations to the girl, obviously thinking that her chances are higher.

"Sister Youying is so lucky. If the Sixth Prince takes a fancy to her, she will be her..." The man cleverly didn't say the following two words, but the meaning was clear. "I see, the sixth prince wants to find a housekeeper for his mansion."

He Youying is the girl with the crooked mouth, she made the people around her exult in praise, she really felt that she was the candidate for the princess, her cheeks were stained red, she pushed the girl with a coquettish smile, her eyes were extremely My heart is moved, but I don't know what kind of person she is?What is Gu Jingxing's status, even if he is a side concubine, he is not qualified, but Gu Jingxing is a polite and virtuous corporal, and has never shown his noble status.

Zhao Wenxi stared at her beautiful eyes, and those words were extremely harsh. When she walked out with the woman, she stepped on the corner of her skirt without a trace. The curtain fell, and due to the pain, the crookedness of the corner of the mouth became more obvious.

Zhao Wenwan, who had been watching coldly, kindly gave her a hand, and when she approached, she pretended to look at her hands with concern, "Miss Youying won the favor of the sixth prince by writing poems with a pen, so you have to be careful with her hands. "

He Youying asked Zhao Wenwan to help her, and she was a little afraid when she heard the words. She was not for the sixth prince... She was terrified and afraid that Zhao Wenwan would break her wrist right away.Zhao Wenwan seemed to be aware of it, but he still didn't let go, but tightened his hands viciously, making the latter tremble even more.

"Which one won the favor of the Sixth Prince?" Feng Yuxiu on the stage asked in surprise.

"Isn't it Miss Youying? I just heard that there is no female housekeeper in the residence of the Sixth Prince. It's because of my preference..." As if realizing that what was said later was inappropriate, Zhao Wenwan silenced, and only looked at it with black and white eyes. with.

Gu Jingxing, who had been silent all this time, lingered on Zhao Wenwan's hood for a long time, feeling that it was very obtrusive, and he could picture in his mind how the sly eyes under the hood were active at this moment.

"When did this king say he liked it?"

"..." Zhao Wenwan never thought that Gu Jingxing would speak up at this moment, his tone was heavy and he couldn't hear any emotion.

But this question frightened He Youying, "Minnv never said that."

"That's because I'm deaf?" Zhao Wenwan added.

Zhao Wenxi bit her lip, and said in a weak voice, "I heard that too."

"You, you..." He Youying opened her eyes wide, realizing that the two of them are joining hands to trick her.

Gu Jingxing's complexion completely darkened, and he frowned at this ignorant woman, "When will it be your turn to criticize the queen's house, just talking about it is already bold, come and send this young lady back to the mansion, let's see where it is A good tutor at home?"

Immediately afterwards, a young man in blue hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead for mercy, saying that his younger sister was young and ignorant, and he must be disciplined more.

Zhao Wenwan didn't expect that Gu Jingxing would do what she wanted so well, and it was rare that he had a good face, but it was hidden under the veil, so someone couldn't see it.

He Youying cried and begged Gu Jingxing's subordinates to forcibly twist her away. She didn't even get Gu Jingxing's peripheral vision. Her dream of flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix was shattered, and her reputation was ruined. Standing there, my heart felt cold.

Anyone who says Zhao Wenwan is an idiot is clearly a fox who has become a smart one.

Zhao Yuanli walked up to Zhao Wenwan with a happy face, and congratulated him softly, causing the latter to blink and instantly realize that the lines in the poem were stolen from the script.She doesn't have any other skills, but she has a solid ability to memorize her lines. Even if she has acted, she can memorize them for a long time. When she didn't expect it to be useful, that's why Zhao Wenwan wasn't nervous when she received the jade.

"I recognized it based on the handwriting. I don't know why the Sixth Prince is so sure that you wrote that poem." When Feng Yuxiu asked, Zhao Yuanli was on the side, and he could hear it clearly and hugged him a little bit. Out of curiosity, I just said it out now.

He knows his younger sister best, she was sleepy when she was young, playing the piano out of tune, embroidering a mandarin duck can turn into a duck, and she couldn't even write well in the past. Although she made jokes, she always shined at critical moments and bluffed people. His kung fu is top-notch.Forget it, if you have a reputation like this, you won't have to worry about finding a good family.

Zhao Wenwan, who was about to praise the other party's foresight, suddenly muffled when he thought of the horrible things Gu Jingxing did in the script.

With this dazed effort, his gaze inadvertently met Gu Jingxing who was looking over, and through the thin gauze like a cicada's wings, he crashed into a pair of bottomless black eyes, with a shallow vortex of light in his eyes , After looking at it for a long time, the warmth buried deep in the bottom of the eyes spread out, entangled upwards, and seemed to be entangled together.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Wenxi secretly gritted his silver teeth, smiled coquettishly with a stiff face, and pretended to ask innocently, thereby breaking the entanglement of sight between the two.

Zhao Wenwan heard the sound and closed his eyes, Gu Jingxing made a sound at this moment, beckoning Zhao Wenwan to come forward, and awarded her a round jade pendant in the shape of a plum blossom.The people below only thought that the poem had won the favor of the sixth prince, only Feng Yuxiu, who was the closest, saw someone shamelessly stretched out his paw and touched the girl's little hand.

"Thank you, Sixth Prince." Zhao Wenwan resisted the urge to slap the face of someone who was eating her tofu in a serious manner, thanked him deeply, and stepped back. Do not disperse.

Zhao Wenxi stared at the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she lowered her hand holding the cuff tightly, with a smile on her face, she seemed very interested in the jade pendant and said, "Sister Wan is really amazing, look at this jade pendant. It's shiny and jade-like, can you let me see it?"

The smile on the corners of Zhao Wenwan's lips remained undiminished, looking at her with elder sister's love, "I'm afraid I can't."

"..." Zhao Wenxi was taken aback, but he didn't expect Zhao Wenwan to reject him so bluntly. He bit his lip and saw that Zhao Yuanli was still beside him, with a tinge of grievance on his face.

"I'm willing to give it to my sister even if it's expensive, but if I don't want to give it, you'd better not even think about it." Zhao Wenwan's cool voice came from under the hood, and it was impossible to see the expression at this time , even though it was a tone of smile, it made the caring person feel chills when he heard it.

Zhao Yuanli sent the two of them a few steps away, and when he heard the conversation, the corners of his mouth also curled up, such a domineering temperament...how could he be so likable!
Zhao Wenxi caught a glimpse, and the aggrieved expression only lingered for a moment, because the hat curtain covered it, but there was no change in his expression. After a while, he took Zhao Wenwan's arm again, and returned to the seat affectionately.

The poetry meeting continued. The Zhao sisters who had already participated did not have their turn. They watched a few groups, which were uneven, but they had a good time.Among the literati, there are many who feel that tea drinking is dull, so Feng Yuxiu naturally prepared good wine, among them was a jar of snow plum wine that the owner of the garden kept.

Someone got the wine, but didn't drink it himself, but borrowed flowers to present to the Buddha, and invited attendants to let him deliver the wine cup to the women's banquet. Some people at the banquet saw it, and two or three people followed suit, looking at each other with a somewhat clear smile. .

The first glass of wine was delivered to Zhao Wenwan. Smelling the tangy aroma of snow plums, the liquid in the glass was clear and the taste of the wine was very light. It was nothing to worry about. Zhao Wenwan raised the glass to his mouth after thinking about it, and was about to drink it. Suddenly, his wrist was hit by something, and it became numb for a while. He couldn't hold the wine cup and fell, wetting the skirt, and finally fell to the ground with a jingle and rolled twice.

Zhao Wenwan clutched his wrist and looked around vigilantly, but couldn't find anything unusual.Instead, Feng Yuxiu outside listened to the noise and asked the maid who was waiting beside him to check on the situation.

The latter saw Zhao Wenwan's embarrassment, turned around to explain, and said to Zhao Wenwan when he returned, "The master's daughter is about the same size as the girl. The master ordered the servant to take the girl to change clothes. Please come with me."

Zhao Wenwan looked at the piece soaked in wine, and found that it was indeed not suitable, so she went with the maid.Zhao Wenxi also wanted to follow, so she asked the servant girl to persuade her with a smile, saying that it was enough for her to serve her, and she came back soon. No one else noticed.

The person who brought out the wine saw that Zhao Wenwan hadn't drunk and left the table in a hurry, obviously very disappointed. He unexpectedly bumped into the dark eyes of the sixth prince on the main seat, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason, as if he was split from the neck up. Illusion, frozen in the present moment.

Fortunately, the Sixth Prince's gaze didn't last long, and he also got up and left the table. The man breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Feng Yuxiu, who had been on good terms with the Sixth Prince, coming over holding on to the teacup.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so familiar with the allusion of Xuemei wine."

"I heard it by chance, just by chance."

"In ancient times, there was a man who was proficient in the art of brewing wine. He expressed his love with wine, carried his heart, and gave it to his sweetheart. This made a good story. This custom has been passed down to this day, and Mr. Qin followed suit, but the wine was spilled. What's the meaning?" Feng Yuxiu saw it with his own eyes. Seeing that someone couldn't bear to make a move, he pretended to be ignorant at the moment.

"Probably... just miss it." The man sighed, seeing Zhao Wenwan's outstanding literary talent and beautiful appearance, he moved his mind, now it seemed how he could get into the eyes of that young lady.

Feng Yuxiu pursed the corners of his mouth, secretly sighed that Gu Jingxing had eliminated his rivals invisibly, and persuaded, "I have other good wine here, Mr. Qin, please taste it."

The layout of Chaoshou corridor and eaves reveals the master's ingenuity and mystery. Zhao Wenwan walked past admiringly, and followed the maid into the guest room.The maid first added charcoal to the stove, and when there was a little warmth, she hurried to fetch a change of clothes and handed them to Zhao Wenwan.The latter took it, entered the screen and replaced it.

It is said to be a guest room, but the layout is also warm, like the boudoir of her daughter's house. Zhao Wenwan thought while changing, feeling a little sleepy from the warmth, and unconsciously slowed down the movements of her hands.

The sudden sound of "beauty" with a broken voice shocked her almost to the screen, but fortunately she was already wearing her outer robe, so she was not in danger of being exposed. When she took a closer look, it turned out that it was a green-haired parrot talking wildly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Beauty, where is Li?" With the fluttering of wings, the voice was close at hand.

Immediately following the person who entered the door, what catches the eye is a brocade screen. On the thin screen, a hazy figure of a woman is outlined. She is slender and thick, with long hair reaching her waist. She looks a bit like an official porcelain beauty. The downed wine went up his throat, causing a burning cavity.

A colorful parrot stopped on top of the screen, tilted its head, and said hello in a silly way, "Oh, I'm late." The tone was quite regrettable.

"..." Zhao Wenwan, who was wearing the belt of his robe, choked up.

"..." Gu Jingxing, who was not far away, wanted to add a roast parrot to tonight's menu.

"Beauty, there is a satyr, there is a satyr!" Afterwards, a certain parrot yelled that it didn't die fast enough, and pointed at the person standing at the door without hesitation with one wing flapping, and the seller said.

Zhao Wenwan immediately stepped out of the screen, and found that the guarding maid had turned into Gu Jingxing, she was a little too late to react, showing a trace of bewilderment.

Gu Jingxing secretly glanced at the one that was causing trouble, "I stumbled in by mistake just to find it, Miss Zhao forgive me."

Brother Parrot jumped twice and landed on Zhao Wenwan's shoulder. He looked at Gu Jingxing and realized that he was different from the woman in front of him. He felt that he had found a support at that moment. He tilted his head and looked at Zhao Wenwan and said in a noisy voice, "You Believe it, anyway, I don't believe it."

"..." Having raised such a stupid parrot, the sixth prince expressed his heartache and wanted to destroy the corpse every minute.

But Zhao Wenwan couldn't help laughing first, or the expression on Gu Jingxing's face at this time was so exciting that she couldn't help it.

Gu Jingxing had never seen this person in front of him so recklessly in front of him. His bright smile made everything around him pale, and she was the only one who was full of eyes. She unconsciously walked closer and stood in front of her. The distance that you can hold this person in your arms with one hand.

The air seemed to stop flowing, and even the stupid parrot closed its mouth tactfully. Zhao Wenwan smiled and felt that the atmosphere was a little too ambiguous. When he raised his eyes to meet him, the originally cold eyes suddenly changed quietly at this moment. She had to be softened, and the hidden emotions were undisguised for her to see, with an arrogance that could not be rejected.

Zhao Wenwan felt his heartbeat stopped for a long time at that moment, and suddenly there was a thump, and then he couldn't restrain his heartbeat like a drum.The affection she felt when she mistakenly identified him as 'Feng Yuxiu' at the first sight did not come from nothing. She was not invisible to this man's demeanor and tenderness under the iceberg, but it was only under Gu Jingxing's name. , deliberately ignored.

She didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, but she couldn't admit the influence this person had on her.As long as Zhao Wenwan was in a daze, Gu Jingxing waited as long as he gave her enough time to see clearly. After a long time, he noticed that she was evasive again, and then he said straight away, "This king can also agree There will be a couple in the next life, can Miss Zhao be willing to accompany you?"

"!" Zhao Wenwan told him to startle suddenly, but there was another voice mocking from the bottom of his heart, this was not what he expected, mixed with the complicated feelings for the male lead and Bai Lianhua, Zhao Wenwan felt flustered for the first time, Can't tell what's on my mind.

Gu Jingxing didn't allow her to step back and hold her in his arms, and he said helplessly against her hair, "I know maybe I did something to make you sad before, so now you have no trust in me at all. , if possible, I would like to open my heart for you to see."

Zhao Wenwan was stopped from struggling by the rare trace of humbleness in his tone. The powerful person who came quickly in front of outsiders was like hugging a beloved doll that would be lost at any time. Refusing to let go, fearing that it would be gone, Zhao Wenwan's heart trembled for no reason, and against the sound of the pounding heartbeat, his heart had long been shaken.

Smells of fragrance penetrated into the tip of his nose, and there was a hint of familiar smell, mixed with a faint bloody smell. Zhao Wenwan suddenly reached out and stepped back from his arms, not surprised to see the flashing smile on his face. He looked hurt, but he didn't have time to take care of it, and instead stretched out his hand to touch his right shoulder blade.

Gu Jingxing's face only twitched for a moment, but it confirmed Zhao Wenwan's guess.

Zhao Wenwan opened his round eyes, filled with complex emotions, and stared intently. "It was you that day?!"
