Chapter 169
Fu Nianzhen and Xue Xiangrong have been fighting for many years, and everyone here knows it. Therefore, it is not necessary to say who she refers to in the end.
The girls around Xue Xiangrong suddenly showed an angry and helpless look on their faces.
Xue Xiangrong is worthy of being the legitimate daughter of a century-old family. Of course, she may have been provoked by Fu Nianzhen in public too many times. While everyone was staring at her, she still sat upright with a decent smile on her face.
"Lin Qingqian, don't you like silver the most? I'll pay 500 taels of silver as the lottery. Do you dare to compete with Miss Xue again?" The girl's attitude was very arrogant.
Lin Qingqian glanced at her with a smile, turned her head and continued to talk to Huo Qingyue.
It hurts a silent slap in the face! The girl's face suddenly turned red.
Huo Qingyin laughed out loud, "Ah, Lin Qingqian is really the one she admires. How long will it take for her to learn Lin Qingqian's ability to be angry and not worthy of her life?"
The Xie family had seen Lin Qingqian's "prejudice", and several female family members couldn't help but chuckled. For some reason, after learning that Lin Qingqian was not just not giving Xie's good looks, their hearts suddenly became balanced, and even had a hint of gloating.
As for Lin Qingqian's offense, with the Xie family here, even if Xue Xiangrong and Fu Nianzhen are not trying to touch Lin Qingqian's finger.
Yes, the Xie family is so domineering and so protective of their shortcomings. Well, that kid Xie Zhen is just an accident and can be ignored.
The Huo family also doesn't care about Lin Qingqian's attitude. Because of the sidelines, the Huo family and the Xie family are now standing on the same boat. The Huo family and the Xie family are quite happy to see the Xue family defeated.
The girls around Xue Xiangrong were so angry that they were half-in-law that they had never seen anyone like Lin Qingqian. They were thick-skinned and didn't have the appearance of a girl's house. But Lin Qingqian still looked like that...
Xue Xiangrong scolded the little girls, but in fact she couldn't help but compete with Lin Qingqian again.
Her reputation for business for many years was trampled by Lin Qingqian's poem, and the feeling of failure was so ruined. After visiting the lake, she showed a light appearance outside, but she felt very uncomfortable. As long as someone looked at her more, Xue Xiangrong would have no choice but to guess whether the other party was laughing at her.
Xue Xiangrong knew that her condition was wrong, but she couldn't pass the psychological level. No, if this continues, she would be destroyed. The only solution was to compete again and she wanted to win back her reputation.
She doesn't need to do such a provocation. As today, she didn't even speak, and someone rushed to do it for her.
She just needs to be the legitimate daughter of the Xue family.
But why is Lin Qingqian so shameless and not following the routine at all? Could it be that she will be suppressed by a poem in her life?
Xue Xiangrong had a gentle smile on her face, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"I remember Miss Lin once said when she was on the boat that she could only write one or two poems in her life. Why should Miss Qin and Miss Lu make things difficult for her?" The little girl who was also surrounded by Xue Xiangrong was wearing a tender yellow lace and a lotus-colored pleated skirt. She was covered with a tender green gaze on her face, and a jade hairpin was inserted on her head, looking simple and lively.
Lin Qingqian was named again. She smiled and looked up, "I finally found a person who understands it. Yes, I clearly said that day, but they just couldn't remember it."
Many people stared at Lin Qingqian in a daze, and had another understanding of Lin Qingqian's bottom line as a human being.
Generally speaking, if you are exposed, you should be ashamed of being ashamed and want to cut open your stomach, touch your heart for others to show it, and then pick yourself out? Lin Qingqian's skin is simply thicker than that of the sky.
The more calm Lin Qingqian acted, the more angry and anxious the people around Xue Xiangrong were around him, including Xue Xiangrong and Mrs. Xue.
If it weren't for the concern that the Huo family and the Xie family joined forces, Mrs. Xue would have slapped the table and asked Lin Qingqian to give her a good lesson.
Huo Qingyue smiled with a smile, looked at the person not far away, and felt almost happy.
Sure enough, it is the happiest thing to see a disliked person sulking.
Just when the atmosphere became awkward among the female relatives, a small noise came from the male guest.
Then, Lin Qingqian saw Zhao Jingyun appear.
Zhao Jingyun was wearing a sexy bag today, wearing a dark purple close-fitting gown, a golden ruby belt around her waist, and a white jade hairpin on her head. She was noble and ostentatious.
He was surrounded by a group of people and walked to a table in the upper head to sit down.
Everyone present stood up and saluted Zhao Jingyun together.
Zhao Jingyun smiled and looked around the audience, leaving everyone with no gifts.
His eyes seemed to take care of everyone, and even on Lin Qingqian, he didn't stay for too long.
Lin Qingqian is brave. Others dare not look at Zhao Jingyun, but she dares. Her eyes met Zhao Jingyun in the air, and Zhao Jingyun's mouth couldn't help but bend.
There is a tacit understanding between the two of them that is rare among others. Zhao Jingyun just glanced at Lin Qingqian and saw Lin Qingqian's mouth move silently: "Crash people."
If Lin Qingqian wants to cheat others, he will definitely not cheat his own people. So who is in trouble?
When Zhao Jingyun was thinking about who Lin Qingqian wanted to cheat, someone took the initiative to tell him, "Miss Lin's poems were indeed outstanding when traveling to the lake. Some people rumored that Lin Qingqian could be the leader of the Wenfeng Tower in Pingyang City this year, but we were not convinced. Mrs. Lei's birthday party, I hope the prince will witness it with you, and ask Miss Lin and Miss Xue to compete again. First, it can add some fun to Mrs. Lei's birthday, and second, Miss Lin can also prove that she is not a false reputation."
"If you ask me to compete, I will compete?" After she finished speaking, Lin Qingqian took it.
Her tone was very plain, and she could not hear the scent of anger at all, but many people could hear it from it without doubt.
Many young men from the male guest also participated in the Youhu River that day. During the competition, they remanded the wrong treasure and lost a sum of money. When they heard that they were going to compete again, many people began to mutter and talk.
"Miss Lin, today is the old lady's birthday party. Since you don't care about the leader, just add color to the old lady. Why, don't you?" Perhaps because someone supports her, the little girl's tone was a bit aggressive.
Mrs. Huo frowned slightly.
The Lei family also became a little embarrassed.
"Everyone says I can only recite one or two poems. It's not good for girls to be the ones who are self-righteous and arrogant. "Lin Qingqian said lazily. She looked lazy and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"I'm willing to add five hundred taels of silver to the first prize."
"I do, too."
"Count me."
......
"Since it's a lot of color, I'm just one of them." Zhao Jingyun seemed to be infected by the emotions of several girls, and actually bet with him.
Lin Qingqian's eyes finally became a little angry, and she glared at Zhao Jingyun with dissatisfaction.
Zhao Jingyun turned around and talked to Lei Shoujie beside him.
Xue Xiangrong and Fu Nianzhen have been observing Lin Qingqian and Zhao Jingyun, and Xue Xiangrong felt very sad.
There seems to be no intersection between Lin Qingqian and Zhao Jingyun, but in fact? If she hadn't met in the royal palace a few days ago, she wouldn't have doubted the relationship between Lin Qingqian and Zhao Jingyun.
"The old lady's life is not as old as the pines in the south, and its blessings are as long as the water in the East Sea. I am very happy to be able to add color to the old lady's life banquet. But if you compare, I think it's not appropriate. It's better to do this. Each mansion will produce one person. Everyone just thinks it's good to be happy for the old lady's birthday. What if the last person is outstanding?" Xue Xiangrong smiled slightly at Lin Qingqian, looking understanding.
Fu Nianzhen sneered, Xue Xiangrong was still the same, and could always find the most favorable way for herself.
If two competitions win, it will be famous, but the loser will be completely stepped on. If a group of people compete, the benefits of winning remain unchanged, but the loser will be a group of people, and no one should laugh at anyone. After all, Xue Xiangrong has no idea.
"I'm not good at chanting poetry." Lin Qingqian finally showed an unhappy expression. "I'm not good at chanting poetry. I know I can't do it and I still have to pay money. I'm not stupid."
Huo Qingyue laughed out loud.
"Miss Qin proposed, that's it." Someone cheered.
"Miss Lin doesn't have to pay the money." Some people reluctantly turned to Lin Qingqian.
So, in the midst of an uproar, Lin Qingqian forced to participate in the competition.
For fairness, Lei Shoujie, the owner of Lei Mansion, set the question, and the prince was still the referee.
Lei Shoujie secretly complained in his heart, what is this? The family was doing a happy event, and the Lei family also owed Lin Qingqian a favor. These people chose to make trouble on the Lei family territory and acted as if he didn't exist? Unfortunately, he couldn't get angry because Zhao Jingyun also agreed.
Lei Shoubei wanted to use the word "Shou" as the title. Mrs. Lei smiled and suggested, "The whole hall is full of the word "Shou", let's change one. Let's use the title "Shou" as the title."
The old lady said, Lei Shoujie would naturally not violate it.
The girl from the Lei family held a table of dishes and collected the lottery heads.
Although it was the reason to add color to the old lady's birthday, many people also knew that this competition was actually a matter between Lin Qingqian and Xue Xiangrong.
Both the male guests and the female members present had to bet on silver. Soon, plates of silver notes and exquisite jewelry were placed on the table in the main hall.
The banquet had not yet begun, and there were people around each table, with a limited time for the competition. Anyone who got the pen, ink, paper and inkstone immediately started writing quickly.
Fu Nianzhen and Xue Xiangrong were not in a hurry to start writing, they were all secretly looking at Lin Qingqian.
Lin Qingqian also held the pen without moving, frowning, looking at a loss and worried, not sure if it was because she was really stumped or because she wanted to deliberately confuse everyone.
"Xiangrong, don't be dazed." Mrs. Xue was suddenly anxious when she saw Xue Xiangrong standing and didn't move.
"Miss Xue, there is only one stick of incense." The little girl next to her also reminded her.
Xue Xiangrong's gaze was finally withdrawn from Lin Qingqian. She smiled slightly at Mrs. Xue, and the pen was stained with ink and finally made the first stroke.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xue finally showed a gratified smile on her face.
