263 Birthday Banquet II
Yue Yao was still wondering what was going on, and Mingzhu next to her raised her head and said arrogantly: "Yue Yao's paintings are naturally extremely good, and they are not comparable to others. If Yue Yao hadn't asked her to swear not to tell Mr. Yushan, she would have long been eager to make the matter between Yue Yao and Mr. Yushan known to the world. Looking at this way, Mu Qinglian is embarrassed to be called the first talented woman in the capital.
Yueyao glanced at Mingzhu, she told Mingzhu many times not to render out the fact that she could paint, but she didn't expect it to be so memorable. Two girls jumped out of her one after another to target her, and she didn't have to think about it to know that it was Mingzhu's handiwork.
Yue Yao stood up and said with a smile; Miss Guan praised it. My painting skills are mediocre, and I can't get into everyone's eyes. As for Mr. Wen's praise for my talent for painting, this is all a lie, and there is no such thing at all. Yueyao was actually very puzzled, Mr. Wen did say that she had a talent for painting, but this was only said when she was in her Jiangnan Mansion, why did everyone in the capital know about it? Whose masterpiece is this?
Where was Guan Qiong willing to let Yue Yao go, and said, "Even the girl doesn't look down on us, thinking that we don't deserve to see your paintings?" Otherwise, why be so perfunctory to us? ”
Yueyao was a little speechless, what's the matter with this woman? If you have a problem with your brain, you can't do it. Whether the two have hatred or not, they must hold her what they do. Yueyao's lack of interpersonal communication is thoroughly reflected here.
Lu Yanfan smiled and said, "Today's scenery is just right, Mingzhu, how about we go boating on the lake together?" ”
Guan Qiong held on, "The sun is shining today, and the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming just right, so good is just right for painting." Girl, why don't you draw a lotus flower for us to see. Guan Qiong also knew that Yueyao had no backer, so she was unwilling to let Yueyao go. As for Ma Fu, she didn't look at it yet.
An Ning also jumped out at this time and said: "Lian girl, since you boast that your painting and calligraphy skills are better than Sister Mou, you should also let everyone see and see Lian Girl's talents." ”
When Mu Qinglian heard this, her face sank slightly.
The county lord of Wanhe on the side looked at Mu Qinglian's eyes, and showed a sneer in his heart, what kind of talented woman in the capital is just a deception and stealing her name.
Yue Yao's face sank slightly, what did she say that her calligraphy and painting skills were higher than Mu Qinglian's? When did she say something like that?
Mingzhu said unhappily: "Yueyao, just paint, are you still afraid of what she will do?" ”
The county lord of Wanhe also smiled at this time and said: "Miss Yueyao, Mingzhu has always praised your super talent, and there are few people in the capital who can compare." On weekdays, even girls don't go out, and we can't see what we want to see, so why not meet our wishes this time. ”
Yue Yao glanced at Mingzhu.
Mingzhu noticed Yue Yao's cold gaze, and her neck was cold. Although Mingzhu was entrusted by Yueyao, and even made her swear not to say anything about her, Mingzhu is an unprovoked person. That time she held a flower-viewing banquet by herself, she showed her mouth to the county lord of Wanhe, and then under the temptation of the county lord of Wanhe, more and more things were revealed. Later, the county lord of Wanhe specially asked people to praise Mu Qinglian in front of Mingzhu, and Mingzhu's brain was hot and said that Mu Qinglian was not as good as Yue Yao, and also praised Yue Yao's painting and writing like a flower.
This sentence fell on the ears of Wanhe County Lord, which was equivalent to telling the ladies in the capital in disguise, and within a month, most of the girls knew that Yueyao's talent was higher than that of Mu Qinglian. Mu Qinglian, the first talented woman in the capital, is not worthy of her name, but Yueyao, who is the person concerned, has always been in the dark.
The girl who was not used to seeing Mu Qinglian naturally hoped that this matter was true and suppressed Mu Qinglian fiercely, but the people who supported Mu Qinglian hated Yueyao. It's just that some time ago, Yue Yao was in the Zhuangzi in the countryside, and they couldn't find anyone, but this time everyone got the news and knew that Yue Yao would attend Mingzhu's birthday banquet, and she had to come if she didn't come.
Zhuang Ruolan actually knows all these things. It's just that she knows Yueyao's temperament very well, if she lets Yueyao know about this, she won't participate in Mingzhu's birthday banquet. For this reason, Zhuang Ruolan specially asked the cloth shop to make a new set of clothes for Yueyao.
Mingzhu was numb by Yue Yao's gaze, and said cowardly: "Yue Yao, I didn't mean to. "She used to be patronizing and competing with people
Mingzhu has always been unruly, only she makes others afraid, when someone makes her afraid, so Mingzhu's expression falls in the eyes of the people present, which is really rare.
Lord Wanhe smiled and said, "Sister Yueyao, since you are so talented, why don't you let everyone know?" It's not a bad thing to be talented, on the contrary, it's still a good thing, and it's a good thing that can make you famous in the capital. ”
Mingzhu felt in her heart that it was wrong for Yueyao to do this, why didn't she let everyone know if she was talented, why did she hide herself? Mu Qinglian is so bad that she has to be thrown on the street, but such a person can be regarded as the number one talented woman in the capital It is not worth it, if Yueyao's talent is revealed, how many people will be shocked. Based on this kind of trouble, although Mingzhu knew that everyone at this banquet would catch Yueyao to show her talents, she still invited Yueyao over. This will be gentle The county lord's words made Mingzhu find courage, "Yueyao, the county lord is right, if you have talent, you should show it." What do you want to hide from people? ”
Yue Yao said lightly: "According to what you said, is it really my fault?" "Yue Yao was really angry this time. She told Mingzhu several times, but she was worried that Mingzhu would not be able to keep the secret, but she didn't expect that in the end, she really couldn't keep the secret.
Mingzhu was frightened by Yue Yao's indifferent words, this expression represented that Yue Yao was angry. Yueyao was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
Lord Wanhe didn't expect Mingzhu to be afraid of Yueyao, which was completely the opposite of what he imagined. But Lord Wanhe doesn't care about this anymore. She smiled when she heard Yueyao's words, and said, "I remember Sister Mingzhu, you can say that even the girl is not only good at drawing, but also very good at writing plum blossom characters. In the past, we always knew that Qinglian's paintings and plum blossom characters were written very well, and today it happens that the two talented women are here. Miss Qinglian, Miss Yueyao, how about the two of you opening the eyes of this palace? The county lord of Wanhe secretly said in his heart, hoping that Mingzhu was not lying, this Lian Yueyao had real materials.
Mingzhu heard Wanhe's words and secretly complained in her heart. Yueyao was already very angry, maybe Yueyao was going to turn her face with her.
Mu Qinglian's expression was not obvious, but she actually felt funny in her heart. When she heard that Yueyao would definitely go when she received the post, she knew that Luo Mingzhu might want her to fight Lian Yueyao in the ring. Mu Qinglian felt that Luo Mingzhu's behavior was very funny, didn't she know that Yueyao was her aunt's future daughter-in-law, how could even Yueyao fight with her if she wasn't stupid?
Mu Qinglian glanced at Yue Yao, and when she saw Yue Yao's indifferent expression, she knew that Yue Yao didn't know it at first. A smile slipped across the corner of Mu Qinglian's mouth, if Lian Yueyao didn't compare with her, Luo Mingzhu would have moved a stone to hit her own foot this time. To make such a big ugliness at his birthday banquet must not become a joke for everyone.
Yue Yao listened to Wanhe's words and if she didn't understand what was going on, she would be really stupid, it was obvious that today was a bureau specially set up by Mingzhu and others, in order to let her step on Mu Qinglian.
Yue Yao looked at Mingzhu, her eyes flashing with disappointment. I said it so many times, but I didn't expect Mingzhu to still be unable to keep the secret.
Mingzhu was panicked by Yue Yao's gaze. She began to feel that she was doing the right thing, Yue Yao was talented, and she should naturally let everyone know why she let Mu Qinglian, who was not as good as Yue Yao, occupy the title of the number one talented woman in the capital, but now Mingzhu knows that she is wrong, compared to losing Yue Yao's friend, it doesn't matter what she is not convinced.
Bai Yi didn't know Mingzhu's plans before, and when he saw this situation, he screamed in his heart, maybe the girl had good intentions, but Yueyao definitely wouldn't appreciate it. Because Yueyao didn't want such a sharp edge at all. If Yueyao really wants to be the front, borrowing Mr. Yushan's east wind is enough to make her famous in the world.
It's a pity that at this time, Mu Qinglian stood up and said with a smile: "I have long heard of Miss Lian's name, and it is also my honor to have a competition with Miss Lian today." ”
Yue Yao looked at Mu Qinglian and immediately understood what Mu Qinglian was thinking. Although she doesn't know Mu Qinglian very well, she also knows seven or eight points. Mu Qinglian is a very competitive person, and she can't tolerate others being better than her, that is, in her previous life, the two of them were called Shuangshu in the capital, but in fact, everyone praised Mu Qinglian together. She used to be willing to be close to Mu Qinglian because of the relationship between the Shen family, but now she understands that Mu Qinglian's friendship with her is actually using her pure and almost ignorance to set off herself, imagine that the two are talented people, one is gentle, kind, kind and lovely, and the other is arrogant and arrogant. With such a comparison between the two, it is needless to say who makes people like good popularity.
Yueyao also knew very well that Mu Qinglian agreed so quickly this time, firstly, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so she couldn't refuse; Second, he was sure that because of the relationship between the Shen family, even if he really compared with her, he would let her one or two.
Everyone looked at Yue Yao, and Mu Qinglian agreed, but it made no sense that Yue Yao didn't agree.
Yue Yao knew very well that she couldn't retreat this time, and if she retreated, it would mean that she would be defeated without a fight, her reputation would plummet, and she would never be able to integrate into this circle in the future, and her relationship with Mingzhu would end here.
Yueyao has been with Mingzhu for so long, and she knows that Mingzhu is not a scheming person. Although Yueyao was a little angry about this incident, he knew that the person who was planning behind this matter was definitely not Mingzhu, and it was most likely Wanhe County Lord.
