Chapter 184: Pressing Forward

The eldest daughter of the Cao family in the Dingguo Mansion was famous in the capital before she was in the capital. Because www.biquge.info has a queen's aunt, she was raised by a grandmother in the palace when she was a child, and she is full of talent.

Chastity, virtuous, beautiful and dignified, these words seem to be tailor-made for her, every time she appears, she doesn't have to do anything deliberately, as long as she stops there, everyone's eyes can't help but be attracted to her.

Just like this time, when she stood in the middle of the room and painted, she felt that her every demeanor and every movement was beautiful to the extreme, and even her skirt, which was slightly wrinkled by the wind, was so in tune.

Before the incense was burned, she had finished painting, put down the brush with a smile on her lips, and turned back to her seat.

Xu Cao Qinghui made poems and paintings, and the other two ladies of the Dingguo Mansion, Cao Qingyi and Cao Qingmin, did not appear. Next are the ladies of the governments of various countries, Xu Wanzhen looked at it carefully, and Cai Si introduced everything she recognized softly.

With the continuous production and circulation of poems and paintings, the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively. The familiar noblewomen talked softly, or discussed Fang Cai's poems, or commented on peonies.

Princess Zhaoyang instructed the maid to bring fresh melons and fruits and put them on several cases, and took the lead in eating. The nobles were detained for a long time, and when they saw that the princess took the lead, they also began to taste melons and fruits, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

When it was Tu Manfen's turn to go up, Princess Zhaoyang was still waiting for the poems and paintings, and the other boudoir ladies were attracted by other things. Xu Manfen was slightly angry in her heart, but she also knew that with her own identity, where could she afford to provoke everyone here? If it weren't for the fact that she was in the same place as the Marquis of Anping, she was afraid that she would be the last in line.

Tu Manfen's silver teeth bit lightly, walked to the calligraphy and painting table, and calmly, she wrote with a good hand, and waved a peony poem conceived in her mind.

When the poem was presented to Princess Zhaoyang, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but chant softly: "The green is quiet and quiet, and the red clothes are shallow and deep." The heart of the flower is broken, and the spring color does not know the heart. Good poetry!"

Hearing Princess Zhaoyang's admiration, all the girls were silent and looked at Tu Manfen in the center of the room. Suddenly being stared at by so many eyes, Tu Manfen was a little proud and a little nervous. When the pen was written, the right hand shook slightly, and the petals of a peony showed a very unnatural stroke, and I was busy calming down to make up for it, but this picture was not a good work.

The people in the "Qingxuan Pavilion" were also attracted to the window and looked at the opposite side. The little marquis Cheng Jing smiled with a smile on his face, and teased: "Third brother, come and see who this is?"

Cheng Jinghao looked at it fixedly, quite complacent, it turned out that it was his future lady who was praised by the princess, and he also had a light on his face. "Huh" opened the folding fan, made a suave gesture, and smiled: "The fiancΓ©e who is not talented." ”

Tang Yuanyao tightened the handkerchief in her hand, she knew her own affairs, and she was definitely not as good as Tu Manfen in terms of talent. In the past, the signs of parting with each other were just relying on their own popularity, and they squeezed her verbally. But on such an occasion today, she had already suffered a loss in the Accord, and she never dared to talk nonsense again.

When Tu Manfen finished painting, he saluted upwards and stepped back. But I heard Princess Zhaoyang ask, "But Tu Shanchang's great-granddaughter?"

It turned out that the princess actually knew herself, Tu Manfen hid the excitement in her heart, and replied respectfully: "Back to the princess's words, it is exact." ”

"Tu Shanchang taught well, this good word is really rare. Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said, "I wonder if you have time to help me copy a few Buddhist scriptures?"

Princess Zhaoyang's gesture of favor made Tu Manfen's heart excited, and she hurriedly said: "Please princess although arranged, the little girl will do her best." ”

The veil was about to be twisted by Tang Yuanyao, and when Tu Manfen returned to his seat, he caught a glimpse of Xu Wanzhen who was sitting quietly in the corner, and had a plan, and said with a smile: "Sister Manfen is so talented, which really makes my sister admire." The young ladies of the Tu family are really talented. This fairy-like person of the Xu family's sister, Yuan Yao liked it tightly when she saw it. That's good, I'll let you do it first, and I think it won't disappoint everyone. ”

This Xu Wanzhen is just a merchant's daughter, what if the color is good, dealing with money all day long, how many poetry books can there be in her belly? Tang Yuanyao thought contemptuously, but looked at Tu Manfen with a smile, and said in her heart: "I let your cousin show her face in public, there's nothing wrong with this, right?"

Cao Qingyi's eyes flashed, this Tang Yuanyao was really disgusting, and he picked up soft persimmons and pinched them. After these words, it would be rude for Xu Wanzhen not to go on stage to offer poems and paintings. She raised her eyes and saw Xu Wanzhen sitting quietly with her eyes down, unaffected and out of shape.

Tu Manfen glared at Tang Yuanyao silently, this woman is not at ease here. I was worried about Xu Wanzhen in my heart, when she was in the Tu family, she didn't hear that Xu Wanzhen had any talents, and this time it was a little bad.

Hearing Tang Yuanyao's words, Princess Zhaoyang also wanted to take the opportunity to see if Xu Wanzhen had real talent and learning, and said: "Since Yuan Yao said so, Wanzhen, you will come up and show your hand." ”

Hearing this, Xu Wan was sincerely bitter. Tang Yuanyao can ignore her, but how can she ignore the princess's words?

After some questions and answers, the eyes of all the women in the room were focused on her. The woman's eyes tightened, and she saw that the princess was acquainted, what was her identity?

"Who is this? "I heard that it's just a businesswoman. ”

"Have you ever used the clothes of 'Splendid Chronicles' at home? ”

But her great-grandfather was Tu Shanchang, which should not be underestimated. ”

Even though it was softly spoken, a few words also floated into Xu Wanzhen's ears. Facing everyone's eyes, Xu Wan really calmed down. In this situation, I can't help myself, I have to get it.

Tu Manfen looked over worriedly, but saw her smile slightly, stood up calmly, and walked towards the center of the room like a cloud.

The three princesses of Zhaoyang, who were facing upwards, made a beautiful salute. But I heard Princess Zhaoyang laugh and said: "I have seen your talents, you need to show real skills, and you must not be perfunctory." Since he was more interested in her, he beat her with words and did not allow her to hide anything.

Xu Wan was stunned in her heart, and subconsciously looked up, only to see that Princess Zhaoyang's smile was sharp, and a chill rose from her heart. Don't look at Princess Zhaoyang is approachable, but since she has so ordered, if she disobeys, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in the capital.

Tang Yuanyao was embarrassed three times and twice, and the princess pressed step by step, and the clay figure also had three points of anger. Xu Wanzhen secretly sneered, in this case, what if she didn't hide it anymore? She stood up straight, no longer deliberately restraining the cold aura around her, and stood proudly.

Princess Zhaoyang only felt as if there was a different person in front of her, no longer the cautious and step-by-step Xu Wanzhen. A smile appeared on her face, and she said in her heart, it turns out that this is your true color, Xu Wanzhen.

Feeling the changes that had occurred in Xu Wanzhen's body, all the women were silent.
