The Devious First-Daughter

What Ning Xueyan didn't expect was that Heng Yuqing was also invited.

Wu Fu's poems will be bigger than she imagined, and the meaning of power in them is even more astonishing. There is a faint sense of Qingliu and leaders. Some noble families, Yunjue, have sent their own ladies over .

Different from the complete wealth and splendor of the past, the ladies and wives who participated in the meeting this time all have some vague talents and reputations. It can be said that they are mainly nobles. .

All of a sudden, people in the capital were proud of having such a post from Mrs. Wu.

Some people even said that this was the most meaningful banquet in the capital for decades. If you didn't get a post from Mrs. Wu, it meant that the lady was extremely vulgar. Originally, those ladies didn't think they would participate because they didn't have much talent. It doesn't matter.

After being copied like this, I immediately tried to ask for a post from Mrs. Wu.

The entire capital city seemed to be alarmed by Wu Yao's banquet, and everyone heard about the upcoming banquet in Qingliu, and felt that Mrs. Wu Yao was indeed a talented person who could come up with To host such a banquet, with such a grand occasion, is really a grand event.

The tension of the war has almost changed in the capital, and there is a kind of vain peace, which has wiped out the tension brought by the war. The most talked about now is of course Wu Yao's banquet.

Those ladies, in order to become famous at the banquet, all of them ran to places like bookstores. For a while, the bookstores for those literati and refined scholars were full of people, and the people who came and went were usually those who lived for a long time. The daughter of a deep boudoir.

Luoyang Zhigui was once just a legend, but now it is a real experience for people in the capital.

"Aren't these young ladies taking the first prize, are they all so caring?" Cheng Yu waved the folding fan in his hand, looking at the carriages coming and going downstairs, and saw the carriages stop from time to time, and there was a charming woman supporting the maid. Come to hand, coquettish language Niao Niao, very pleasant.

After the last incident, Cheng Yu no longer dares to call himself a romantic and talented man. In this competition, his ranking is good, and he won a prize. In fact, it is said that his talent is not inferior to that of the champion. It is really the age of the champion. If it is too big, this Tanhualang will have to choose someone with better talent and appearance, so Cheng Yu becomes Tanhualang.

Now we are waiting for the distribution of the Ministry of Officials, mainly because there has been a war for a while, otherwise the distribution of official positions in the Ministry of Officials would have come down long ago.

But basically, it can also be determined that the Hanlin Mansion, as a prime minister, comes out of the Hanlin, which is a basic and necessary condition.

Therefore, although Hanlin Mansion is a noble yamen, in the future, it will also represent limitless.

"It's the lady from the family who is reading." On the other side of him, Xia Yuhang was sitting there, his eyes looked a little gloomy, lacking the vigor of the youth in the past, giving people a feeling of being late.

He and Cheng Yu met when they went to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, Xia Yuhang was a well-known talent in the capital, and Cheng Yu was also a famous man in the south of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, Xia Yudong, a person with little talent, would really be nothing in front of Cheng Yu.

With Cheng Yu's eyes above his head at that time, Xuezhen looked down on him.

Later, after being plotted against by Xia Yudong, he ran away angrily, but he fell in love with Ning Xueyan, who was still the fifth girl of the Huguohou's Mansion at that time, but now Ning Xueyan is the princess, and the distance between him and him is very large. It's a monarch and minister, Cheng Yu didn't dare to think in vain this time.

And he is much more cautious than before.

Although Xia Yuhang's reputation is not good now, but Xia Yuhang's mouth can speak, and in a few words, he convinced Cheng Yu that he was really defiled by others. In the future, when the clouds open and the sun rises, everyone will know He was wronged.

Because he and Xia Yuhang have known each other for a long time, and Xia Yuhang's personable, beautiful appearance is deeply in Cheng Yu's mind, so when Xia Yuhang said this, Cheng Yu believed it.

This time, I will accompany Xia Yuhang to the book shop and read books, just to relax.

"A woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Why bother to disturb her? She's just looking for boredom." Cheng Yu said bluntly. I'm not used to it, "I heard that Mrs. Wu Yao was a talented and noble lady in the previous dynasty. In the troubled times at that time, she would be a talented woman if she could recite a few poems!"

"I heard that Mrs. Wu Yao is indeed talented, and she has written a few poems before, which are very good." Xia Yuhang knew that the banquet was held after he delivered the letter, so of course it was at this time. It's time to praise Wu Yao.

"A girl in a boudoir, and a widow, actually still has the heart to write such romantic things." Cheng Yu had also read those poems, and said with a sneer, he just looked at a carriage on the street below The person who came out of the window suddenly came to the window and looked down carefully.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yuhang still sat there, glanced at Cheng Yu and asked in puzzlement.

"That maid looks familiar." Cheng Yu blinked, looked carefully at the maid who walked into the bookstore below, and said with a little confusion.

"You shouldn't have seen many maids in this capital city. Think about it, you can always remember." Xia Yuhang said leisurely, and there was a bit of teasing in his expression, "Could it be Brother Cheng?" , there are other ladies you are familiar with?"

Ever since he arrived in the capital, Cheng Yu has really never seen any ladies from all over the world. After being teased by Xia Yuhang, he suddenly remembered that that maid was the personal maid of the Ning Wu girl he had seen last time. ?

I was inexplicably looking forward to it, but I also knew that I couldn't think in vain. As the Ning Wu girl, I shouldn't have any thoughts at all. The current Prince of the East Palace is not easy to get along with.

But the rational thought was like this, but the heart couldn't help jumping up: "It seems to be a girl I know, I'll go over and have a look." Cheng Yuji couldn't help standing up, although the goddess in his heart couldn't be there anymore. The opportunity to meet, even said that they have never met each other, but it is always possible to ask her about her recent situation.

Seeing that the carriage was parked there, only a maid jumped off, there should be someone inside, could it be that she is also in the carriage?

Thinking of this in his heart, he became more and more excited. He didn't notice Xia Yuhang's dark eyes at one side, and his expressionless eyes fell on him.

But after Cheng Yu turned around, Xia Yuhang had regained his smile: "Since it's a familiar girl, it must be from a family. It's normal to ask in the past."

Xia Yuhang acted as if he didn't know anything. To Cheng Yudao, one sentence dispelled the last scruples in Cheng Yu's heart. This time, he didn't hesitate any longer. He put the folding fan in front of the table and straightened his clothes calmly. Then they stepped out of the place where they were sitting and reading a book.

This is a small place, with a screen placed outside and a shelf full of books, it looks very elegant, and it is the favorite place for some literati to come here on weekdays.

But you can chat, read books, and drink tea leisurely, which has a bit of the charm of ancient refined scholars.

This is also an important reason why Xia Yuhang said today that Cheng Yu came over immediately. Although the competition has ended, he is still a guest in Beijing. He is really fine on weekdays. Xia Yuhang invited him. He didn't refuse, and after tidying up his clothes at this time, he hurried downstairs.

Even if he didn't do anything, but thinking of the goddess in his heart, now in the carriage, made his heart beat faster, his face flushed, and his breathing became a little short.

Downstairs, Ning Xueyan appeared here very occasionally. She came here to find a book, which is said to be an encyclopedia-style book.

The reason why she came to look for this book is because she heard that the excerpts on it are quite extensive, and this time at Wu Yao's banquet, it is very likely that this book will be used as a draft for the competition.

Ning Xueyan originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but Heng Yuqing happened to come to Yiwang's mansion and talked about it, so the two of them came over to pick up books together, just to relax and stroll around .

Because she didn't care about this matter, Ning Xueyan didn't get out of the carriage, and chatted with Heng Yuqing in the carriage, and asked Lan Ning to go down and pick up books.

Lan Ning used to follow her big maid, so she could basically read the characters.

Lan Ning obeyed, got out of the carriage, and was about to walk in when suddenly a woman who looked like a lady from an aristocratic family floated past her with a few maids. The bag suddenly slipped from the woman's hand and happened to land at Lan Ning's feet.

Lan Ning's eyes are very sharp. When she saw the material of that handkerchief, she knew it was a good material, and it was not affordable by ordinary people. Therefore, the lady in front must be a daughter of that kind of family, and she also had a good family background. kind of.

Under normal circumstances, Lan Ning should have picked up the handkerchief and returned it to the lady. Originally, the maids of these aristocratic daughters, especially this kind of big maid, are very polite, picking up a handkerchief for others It is a very normal thing to chase after and send it up.

Just seeing the handkerchief that fell to the bottom of the feet, Lan Ning picked it up, turned around, turned back to the carriage, and then respectfully said to Ning Xueyan in the carriage: "Master, there is a handkerchief that fell off. When it came to the servant girl, it was lost by a young lady from a family whom the servant girl didn't know."

In the carriage, Ning Xueyan was talking with Heng Yuqing, when she heard the voice outside the carriage door, her watery eyes flickered, causing Xinmei on the side to raise the curtain.

"You haven't seen this young lady?" Ning Xueyan squinted at the handkerchief in Lan Ning's hand when the curtain of the car was pulled down, and her eyes involuntarily darkened a little.

A piece of handkerchief, and it was a somewhat familiar handkerchief.

The reason why it looks familiar is because she also has the material of that veil. Not only that, but she actually made a few veils.

This was rewarded by the empress when I went to the palace before. It is said that there are not many horses like this in the whole palace, and it is not something that ordinary daughters of aristocratic families can afford.
