Happy Little Scholar

"Young master, I have misunderstood. The young lady did not mean this. She is just feeling unwell today and her singing skills are greatly affected. If she continues to sing, I am afraid it will disturb the interest of all the young masters." Tian Lai Novel "The beautiful woman is blessed with blessings and is full of apologies. said.

"Why are you feeling unwell? Don't use such excuses to deal with me." A young man stood up from his seat and said impatiently: "Why didn't I see any discomfort in you? If you are asked to sing, you can sing. Today My lords are all present here in the same year. If you don’t sing, you will spoil everyone’s interest.”

At this moment, he was secretly annoyed that this actress didn't know how to praise her. It was because he saw that she was a good singer that he appointed her to sing her own masterpiece. Unexpectedly, she sang other people's lyrics easily. He actually tried to push the envelope in every possible way, which was obviously a loss of face for him in front of so many peers and adults.

The pretty woman looked troubled. Today, at the princess's birthday party, all the famous singers and singers from all over the city were invited to sing and dance for the fun. She couldn't refuse them at all. Even though she was having her menstrual period these past few days, she occasionally felt cold and was extremely unwell. , and dare not disobey.

It's just that the physical discomfort is getting more and more serious at this moment. I'm already a little dizzy. No matter how good my singing skills are, I can't show it. It's really not suitable to speak.

But she also knew in her heart that none of the people present tonight could be offended by a little actor like her. She gritted her teeth and was about to nod in agreement when a sweet and smiling voice came from the side. The singer came over and said with a smile: "Master Cui doesn't know something. If you are feeling a little unwell today, if Master Cui doesn't mind it, how about I sing this song?"

Wan Ruoqing looked at the singer with a look of gratitude in her eyes. She was also good at singing and was well-known in Qing'an Mansion. The two of them had never had a close relationship on weekdays. He didn't expect that she would come forward to help him at such a moment. Rescue.

"Who do you think you are?" The Cui man glanced at her coldly, turned to look at Wan Ruoqing, and said coldly: "Are you serious that you don't want to sing?"

The woman glared at him, her body trembled, she opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She was just a singer with a humble status, and the other party was a leader among the officials in Qing'an Mansion, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything more.

After casting an apologetic look at Wan Ruoqing, he quietly backed away.

We have long been accustomed to such scenes. The faces of the singers and actresses in the venue showed some sadness and anger, but they could only lower their heads and dare not speak.

"You really don't want to sing?"

When Cui's man said this, his voice rose slightly. Many people around him stopped talking and looked over in confusion.

"Hey, brother Yanxin, what's going on?"

"Strange, why does Brother Yanxin embarrass an actor?"

"Haha, he drank a lot just now, and he is probably a little drunk now."

There were also people who were relatively close who knew the whole story and gave a brief explanation at this moment. Everyone guessed that Cui Yanxin was really drunk tonight because he was embarrassing an actor for no reason.

Speaking of which, the wine in this prince's palace is really good. The scholars are all drunk. They all have an amazing capacity for drinking, but they don't dare to drink it tonight because the wine is too strong. On weekdays, they would naturally drink it. , but tonight I am worried about getting drunk and getting into trouble...

Everyone looked at the two people with interesting expressions, but no one went up to persuade them.

A mere actor, a lowly woman, is in trouble, and no one will take it seriously.

"Brother Yanxin, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to embarrass a weak woman like this." Wan Ruoqing was about to grit his teeth and agree, when a young man in luxurious clothes walked out of the crowd and walked towards this side.

"Brother Zian, what do you mean?" Cui Yanxin looked at the young man coming over, frowned and asked.

He and Jiang Zian were both Jinshi candidates in Qing'an Prefecture this year. They had not interacted much in the past. They had exchanged a few words tonight. I guess he was not a nosy person, but why did he stand up for this actress and woman?

The young man smiled and said, "Brother Yanxin, there is no need to be angry. Miss Ruoqing is an old acquaintance of Zi'an."

The man surnamed Cui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After the two looked at each other, they looked at him strangely and said with a smile: "I can't believe that Brother Zian is also a passionate seed..."

"Haha, to be honest, Brother Yanxin, I have been attracted to Miss Ruoqing for a long time. When I returned home from high school, I thought of getting rid of her low status and taking her back..." The young man said with a smile and cupped his hand to Cui Yanxin. .

"That being the case, I will naturally no longer make it difficult for her." Cui Yanxin nodded. Since the other party had already spoken, he naturally would not insist. He turned to look at the actor and said, "Tonight, all the adults and these same years are here. Since Brother Zian is interested, if you agree, it will be a testimony."

He saw Jiang Zian's intention and was willing to help him at this time.

"Yan Xin's words make sense."

"Haha, Brother Zi'an stands up as a beauty, and it will be a good story if word spreads."

"It's true, there are so many people witnessing it tonight, and we won't allow him to regret it in the future, so just agree to it."

In an instant, countless officials stood up and said.

They were Jinshi, so naturally it was impossible for them to tell the matchmaker that they were marrying a lowly woman, but it was still okay to take her as a concubine. In fact, such things were common among them.

Officials who are a little further away have long been accustomed to this. Even the concubines in their families were famous actors in Qing'an Prefecture or were very popular courtiers in the Qing Dynasty. Quite popular among them.

At this time, the resentment on the faces of the other singers and actresses in the field had long disappeared, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Wan Ruoqing.

For these lowly women, compared to aging and dying alone, this is the best ending in life, right?

That young man passed the imperial examination at a young age and had a bright future. Even if she became his concubine, it would not be a disgrace, but a great blessing.

Jiang Zian looked at the beautiful woman with a smile and said softly: "Ruoqing, what do you think?"

Wan Ruoqing looked up at him with a smile on her face and said: "I understand Mr. Jiang's kindness, but... I'm sorry."

The feeling of physical discomfort became stronger and stronger. She resisted the dizziness and picked up a piece of rice paper. It was written with Cui Yanxin's new lyrics. After bowing slightly to Jiang Zian, she walked towards the pavilion without looking back.

Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw this. She would rather choose to sing lyrics than be Jiang Zian's concubine?

When the singers and actors saw this scene, some regrets appeared on their faces. If it were them, they would have agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Zian's smile froze, and after a while of alternating pale and blue, he smiled again and said, "Haha, it seems that Zian is wishful thinking."

Being rejected in front of so many people was already a great loss of face. However, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he did not show any displeasure, otherwise, it would only make people think that he was too narrow-minded.

Cui Yanxin was slightly surprised by this, but he did not care too much. After all, Jiang Zian's matter had nothing to do with him. Since the actor went up to sing the lyrics, his original purpose was achieved.

After a brief accident, everyone stopped thinking about this matter and turned to discuss Cui Yanxin's lyrics just now.

"I just read Yanxin's lyrics. It's a rare masterpiece."

"When the actor sings it, Brother Yanxin will be in the limelight again."

"Haha, you care about the world, so much that you can't eat or sleep well. You show your sorrow for the country and the people. Brother Yanxin is really a role model for our generation."

Cui Yanxin said, with a little satisfaction on his face. Tonight, his thoughts were flowing and he was in a very good state. He wrote such a poem just to leave a good impression in front of all the adults. The actor's singing skills are good, and I'm afraid he will add a lot of color to this poem.

Wan Ruoqing hadn't walked to the pavilion yet. The dizziness became stronger. When she stepped on the steps, she accidentally stepped on the air, staggered, and almost fell.

At this moment, a pair of strong hands supported her shoulders. She was frightened and got away suddenly. When she turned her head and saw a familiar face, her heart was finally relieved.

"Are you okay?" The young man looked at her with some concern.

"Nothing..." Wan Ruoqing suppressed her discomfort and shook her head gently.

The young man looked at her pale face, and thought of the scene he had just seen outside. He frowned, took the rice paper from her hand, glanced at it, and then crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"What the hell?"

The faint disdainful voice was clearly heard by everyone in the field.
