Whether the fourth master's rare guess is true or false, leave it alone.

But his worries are really not groundless and groundless.

Outside Qionghua Villa, because there are many men, they are infinitely tolerant of beauties; In Qionghua Villa, the atmosphere is not so friendly.

Because of Princess Pingyang's warning, they may not dare to act rashly; However, a few words of ridicule and ridicule in private are indispensable. Especially the ladies of "Grass Gate", they have been quite depressed because of the beauty of Red Seven. Now that I knew that she was nothing more than an embroidered pillow, I suddenly felt as if I had found a way to vent my depression. These days, the topics they talk about, except for red seven or red seven.

Miss A covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

"I heard that today, the red seven nested in the jade building again, and did not go to any of the lady's banquets. Alas, it's true, it's just that if you don't have anything to do, female celebrities should always be able to see people, right? I didn't even go to Mrs. Getian, who was the best at embroidery. This Red Seven, how to say that she is good? If it goes on like this, I don't know what people outside will say, I'm really worried about her! ”

Well, Miss A, it seems that the gossip about the red seven vase outside also has a result of what you wrote back to tell your family, right?

Miss B pursed her lips slightly: "She's smart, she doesn't have anything to show her hand, it's better than taking out her hand but not being able to see it, right?" At this time, people can still say that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', but at that time, what else can you say? Is it possible that if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, it's virtue? ”

Miss C seemed to be more generous: "Forget it, this was not her fault in the first place;." She's a girl from the countryside, what else can you do if you call her? Alas, it's a pity for that look. ”

After that, he shook his head regretfully.

Hey, hey, can your acting skills be better, the smile in your eyes is so obvious, you can't be blind when someone else?

……

All kinds of things, if you don't say them once a day, these young ladies seem to have itchy mouths and can't stand it, as if there is no way to live their lives, which shows how much pressure Hongqi puts on these women. Even if she couldn't sleep in the Jade Tower all day long, this pressure never lessened.

For these words, Zhou Zihua just smiled slightly and listened, if she said it too much, she would stop it in time, and took the woman of the family to let people see the elegance and nobility that she was ashamed of, and immediately attracted a burst of admiration.

These days, although Zhou Zihua's reputation is not as loud as that of Hong Qi, Gu Niang, and Liu Ru, it is on a par with Ximen Shuang, and it is better than Shangguan Rong, Zheng Yuanyuan and others. Even, if Ximen Shuang is not the county lord, she should not be able to catch up with her. After all, Ximenshuang is good at chess, but Zhou Zihua is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even flower arrangement, embroidery, and tea ceremony...... There was nothing she wouldn't.

If it weren't for a willow Rus, the name of the first talented woman in the Qionghua Banquet would definitely be the same as every previous session, but it was just something in her pocket. is Liu Ruis, in terms of comprehensiveness, in fact, she is not as good as hers, flower arrangement, female red, tea ceremony, Liu Rushi is not good at these, just because of poetry and articles, it is easier to become a standard for judging talented women, in this regard, Zhou Zihua and other women can't even catch up with Liu Rus, so they fall behind.

It can be said that Ximenshuang's name still accounts for the light of her origin, although Zhou Zihua's family background is not bad, the Zhou family has a history of 600 years, and it can be regarded as the number one among the families of the Daxing Dynasty, and it is one of the eight major families in the south. It's just that the economy of the Daxing Dynasty is in the south, but the government is in the north, and the power that can really shake the entire court with a stomp can be shaken, and the Zhou family is not yet ranked.

They are all in Shandong, Hebei and other places, such as the thousand-year-old Wang family and the Xie family, and their ancestral homes are all from Shandong. The Zhou family is not half a star. Don't you see, like the daughters of the Wang family, the Xie family, and some other top families, they don't even attend the Qionghua Banquet? Some of them want to marry, and they don't worry about marrying at all. Even if the royal family wants to ask to marry Wang Xie's daughter, it depends on whether they are happy or not. They can't use marrying their daughters as a means to maintain their power. Their foundation is in turmoil throughout the whole court, and if they want to move, the whole world will be in turmoil. They have the confidence to do that.

The Zhou family, you still have to work hard, maybe hundreds of years later, there is also the possibility of becoming such a behemoth, now, it's still a little early;.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Zihua still came to this Qionghua banquet.

degraded Red Seven and praised Zhou Zihua, but these are not the reasons why these ladies are more diligent than ever these days. This kind of obviously increased flow of people, many of them are neutral people who were originally separated from several factions, and such a vision appeared, not because Zhou Zihua's personality charm suddenly increased, nor because her popularity and prestige suddenly improved.

If the son of Wednesday was only famous in the southern provinces before, then now, if no one in the world knows Zhou Lang, I am afraid that he will not be able to call him a Daxing person. This reputation is much more prosperous than the reputation of Red Seven. There is no way, those talented people wrote letters to their families, writing about who is okay with Qionghua, is it difficult to write that there is a stunning beauty in the capital recently, how does she look? They are here to catch the exam, and when they write this, do they want to make the old lady of the family worry about death? Or was it something that was scolded by the father of the family who jumped to his feet and couldn't make it?

All the ladies are now counting on Zhou Zihua to get to know Wednesday, the "No. 1 talent in the world", where will they run if they don't run here?

Zhou Zihua is such a smart person, where does he not know their thoughts, and laughs secretly in his heart, with these vulgar fans, how can he get into the eyes of his cousin?

However, these ladies can't be offended, and maybe they can all become contacts in the future.

Dealing with these people was just a piece of cake for Zhou Zihua, and when they were all gone, Zhou Zihua fell into deep thought and frowned slightly. Now, her biggest headache is Hong Qi. Zhou Zihua is not like those petty people, jealous of Hong Qi's appearance. Flowers are not red for 100 days, no matter how beautiful they are, how many years can they have? Beauty is always easy to come by for powerful men. Even if the face is not decaying, a man will like the new and hate the old after seeing it for a long time, which is nothing.

It's just that the Hong family has become mortal enemies with the Zhou family, so it is absolutely impossible to let Hong Qi climb to a powerful man like King Runan like Hongda. A red family has already made the Zhou family have scruples, if there is another one, and even the other daughters of the Hong family have good in-laws, then the red family will become a climate. At that time, it will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to the Zhou family, who already have enmity with them.

This is a powerful relationship, Zhou Zihua's mother, Mrs. Dou, has told her many times that if she meets Hong Qi at this Qionghua Banquet, she must not be allowed to have any chance to stand out.

Originally, Mrs. Dou was fully confident in this, and there were very few women who could compare to Zhou Zihua, even if Jiang Lihua was in the past, but she also took advantage of her family background.

It's just that none of them thought that Hong Qi's appearance would be outstanding to this extent.

It's really hard to do now. Especially in Qionghua Villa, you can't take it lightly. Otherwise, it won't end miserably like Liang Yunyun and Jiang Lihua.

Zhou Zihua thought left and right, but he didn't have any good ideas.

However, now that his cousin is here, the corners of Zhou Zihua's mouth are slightly hooked.

I don't know what the meeting between the first beauty of the vase and the first genius in the world will be? Especially since they are still a couple who almost got engaged.

It's worth the wait.

Everyone else says that his cousin loves beauty the most, but Zhou Zihua knows that his cousin can't stand a woman who is not beautiful, but he can't stand a woman who has a face but no talent, and is useless.

The old lady, this time, was a little too anxious, and even did not say such a thing, otherwise my cousin would have been annoyed.

Zhou Zihua, who thought so, forgot, when did she miss the old lady's vision?

Not only "Caomen" here, but also Ximenshuang's "Xiting School" here, there are also a lot of gossips about Hongqi, however, Ximenshuang is a person, and she doesn't like the length of the Taoist behind her the most, so when they gather, they still pay more attention to restraint, so as not to look down on Ximenshuang. But after they dispersed, friends got together, and they didn't have so many scruples. are all waiting to see the good show of Red Seven.

A stunning beauty with a face and less talent is like a great painting, always with a fly in the ointment.

This result also made everyone's hearts balance a lot.

These ladies are balanced in their hearts, and the ladies who are selected are not in such a good mood as them. At this time, they all gathered at Wang Jingya's residence.

In the evening, the sunset shines through the window lattice, a beautiful and leisurely dusk.

In the Mingxin Pavilion, Mrs. Wei sighed first: "Today, you didn't come to me again. ”

From day one, there have been such exclamations. It's just that at first, it was just in their hearts, and they weren't so unsinkable reads; However, this is not the first day, it is twelve. If this continues, the flowering period that belongs only to women will pass. They have to give the final conclusion at the end of the flowering period, but how do they bear fruit until now? I didn't see anyone.

She is obviously not the only one who has the same sigh, and Mrs. Tian is also very annoyed.

"It's okay not to go to your place, I don't play the piano well, I don't write poems well, I'm afraid of losing face." However, I am the most amiable of others, and if they hadn't taken it out by themselves, I would have seen it in private. It's that Hei Tong, embroidered with ducks, I thought it was messy grass, I didn't say anything, and I repeatedly encouraged and pointed her out. Why didn't you even come here? ”

There has to be something, so they can release the water.

And that Heitong, alas, I really haven't seen such a talented girl, but she is so serious, and Mrs. Tian is also anxious for her.

"That's it."

……

The other ladies also spoke, and their words were almost the same.

They really messed up with Red Seven. If there is no red seven among the last four, those ladies will naturally be happy. However, like this, in the end, it is not on the list, this, the top four of the Qionghua Banquet, what will others call it in the future? used to be the "Four Beauties of Beijing", did they become "Four Talented Women in Beijing" from this session? Although it's not derogatory, it doesn't sound as loud as the original name, and it is definitely down a step, which is embarrassing.

But this Red Seven didn't come at all, she didn't show anything, so how could they put her on the list?

On this day, several ladies who have always been quite serious couldn't hold their breath. The results of this final selection will also affect their reputation.

Wang Jingya didn't expect that there would be such a strange thing.

She stood up and said with a smile: "If the mountain doesn't come, I can only come to the mountain." I'll just go to her jade building. ”

"Such a great good!"

The ladies were relieved that the evening was safe. If you can do nothing and force these noble people to this job, it is estimated that there is only one person. As a result, the Jade Building ushered in such a special guest that was unexpected by Hong Qi.
