The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 14 14. Victory or defeat

"My wife, my lady, has a body like a box, unicorn scissors, and eight hairpins." She read out the lantern riddle loudly and said the answer smugly, "It's a crab!"

After saying this, he looked at Liang Luo next to him and saw that her face was ashen, and he felt very happy.

"Stop reading, finish guessing earlier so you won't be embarrassed!"

"yes."

Wei Lanxuan was older than them all, and she respected her in terms of power and position. Now that she had spoken, Liang Luo naturally had nothing to say and immediately lowered his head to dismantle the lantern riddles.

On the other side, Feng Jinyao got "Looking South to the Lone Star, Eyebrows and Moon Rising".

This was a bit difficult, as she didn't have much knowledge in lantern riddles. After drawing her eyebrows in her mind for a moment, she opened her eyes, picked up her pen, and quickly wrote the word "zhuang".

Xu Mingyue quickly guessed three more answers to the riddles. After writing the answers, she lowered her head and saw the riddles and answers in Feng Jinyao's hand.

His eyes lit up, and he said to Feng Jinyao with some surprise, "My sister is very talented, and even I may not be able to guess the answer to this riddle."

"Sister Xu, you're welcome. You guessed four times in a row. I just thought of one. In the end, you are more powerful."

"Okay, okay, I'll say the compliments later. Just guess quickly. They'll all be guessing later." Bai Siruo said anxiously, and then quickly stuffed the remaining few into their hands.

On the other side, Wei Lanxuan and Bai Sihan guessed the riddles at the same speed. Until the last one, when they reached out to the lantern riddle at the same time, Bai Sihan pretended to be unsteady and staggered, and then Wei Lanxuan took the lantern riddle. in hand.

"Spring days are short, one person is far away, and far from the center of the lake, the moon is close to each other."

Wei Lanxuan finished reciting the lantern riddle, but she had no answer in her mind. What could it be?

So he looked at Wen and Liang, and they shook their heads too, unable to guess.

Seeing that Xu Mingyue had already written down the last answer, Liang Luo was so anxious that he twisted the veil, right? Are they going to lose?

Just listen to Bai Sihan whisper in Wei Lanxuan's ear, "It's the erhu."

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Wei Lanxuan's eyes lit up and she immediately started writing. Unfortunately, she missed the mark in the end. Xu Mingyue stopped writing earlier than she did, as everyone present can testify.

The eldest daughter of Zheng Guogong took the list of answers and matched them one by one, and the winner was soon determined.

"Both the white and purple teams won ten questions, the red team won nine questions, and the yellow team won seven questions. But the white team completed it first, so the white team won this lantern riddle contest."

The results were announced and no one doubted them.

After all, Xu Mingyue's reputation as a talented woman was known throughout Jin Dynasty, so it was not shameful to lose to her.

Wei Lanxuan was embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself and stepped forward to congratulate them.

"I have long heard from my grandfather that Mr. Xu Ge shocked Dajin. I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so powerful. Lan Xuan admires her and is convinced of her defeat."

She admitted it generously, and Bai Siruo had a better impression of her.

Unlike Wen Yuwei and Liang Luo next to them, one stared at her like a black-eyed chicken, and the other stared at Feng Jinyao like a poisonous snake and beast. I wonder if they thought they had some deep hatred.

Xu Mingyue didn't shirk it, smiled and nodded.

She might be a bit humble about other things, but when it comes to academics, she is a bit arrogant. After all, she has a solid foundation.

The jackpot was handed over to Bai Siruo's hand. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Liang Luo with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes, as if she didn't have much ability but was full of words.

Liang Luo blushed with embarrassment and glared angrily. He wanted to teach him a lesson but was scared off by Wei Lanxuan's look.

"In that case, I won't disturb you all. Let's go to the banquet side first. I heard that today's chef was specially invited and he is very good at cooking. I'm a little greedy."

"Sister Wei, you're welcome, please." After Bai Siruo said this, he motioned for the girl to take them first, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Sihan, and the threat in his eyes was self-evident.

However, Wei Lanxuan didn't seem to notice her anger, and for the first time, she pulled Bai Sihan away with her.

After Bai Sihan gave Bai Siruo a proud smile, he turned to look respectful again.

Seeing the beautiful figures as they left, Bai Siruo's silver teeth were almost broken.

"This idiot, I knew she had no good intentions. She has been dressed up in a flashy way since she got up this morning. I didn't expect that she would hide this trick! I thought that after climbing up to the top of the Wei family, she could still be allowed to be a member of the Wei family. Isn’t it a woman?”

"Cousin, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."

Feng Jinyao spoke seriously, pulled her sleeves, shook her head slightly, and signaled her to stop talking.

"There are so many people here talking, you should really restrain your temper." Xu Mingyue also agreed.

The two persuaded each other, but Bai Siruo had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, she had a bright face after winning this one, so she handed it to Xu Mingyue like a treasure.

"Although I don't like your future sister-in-law, I heard that Mr. Liang is a good person. I will use this gift to wish you a long life together and be united forever."

With eyes full of fun, Xu Mingyue let out a laugh and the tense and serious atmosphere dissipated instantly.

good?

The Liang family has really worked hard on their reputation. Even Bai Siruo, a harem girl who doesn't go out often, knows that he has a good reputation.

Feng Jinyao felt a cold snort in her heart.

With a sister and a father like this, how could Mr. Liang be a good person?

If he was really a good person, why would he break off the engagement and marry another one? It caused the Xu family to lose face.

Xu Mingyue was a friend she made sincerely. In this case, she naturally wanted to protect her and prevent her from causing harm to that person. She could cancel the engagement, but it had to be the Xu family's decision.

As for Mr. Liang, he naturally has a "good reputation" waiting for him!

He had a plan in mind but didn't show it on his face. He said to the two of them, "Why don't we go there too, lest there won't be enough people at the table and my aunts will be busy."

Bai Siruo nodded, she had not forgotten that today was her grandmother's birthday, and she would settle the scores later for her grudge against other people.

In the Nuan Pavilion, a banquet was being held at the moment.

Even His Majesty knew about Mrs. Bai's sixtieth birthday and sent her personal father-in-law to send a congratulatory gift. A white jade Ruyi left over from the late emperor's time. At the same time, Mrs. Bai was given the title of first-grade imperial concubine, with the addition of Huiming in front. Two words.

As a result, everyone changed their words and called her "Old Madam Huiming".

Such an honor could not be found in the entire Jin Dynasty. For a while, everyone congratulated the Bai family for winning the Sacred Heart and adding new joy.

Only Feng Jinyao knew that this was just burning oil.

How beautiful today is, how miserable it will be tomorrow.

Thinking of what Emperor Qi did to the Bai family in his previous life, looking at the jade Ruyi was really dazzling.

Suddenly, a burst of lively cheers made Feng Jinyao frown.
