Chapter 20: Provocation

"Thank you, Lord for the reward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Gu Chuhuan didn't refuse, and accepted it generously.

Then, he turned to face the guests, and his body was slightly owed: "Chu Huan has seen all the adults." ā€

Then he raised his head slightly and slowly swept towards his seat.

Left: the eldest prince Xiao Zhengyuan, Chang Jinghou Ye Boxian, Xiao Wenbang Xiao Liran "father and son", Anping prefect Chen Jingrao and his eldest daughter Chen Xixue.

On the right: Li Yuanzhi's father--- Li Heng, the secretary of the household department, Ji Zhaolin, the governor of the Great Block, and his son Ji Wenting, the squire of the military department, Qian Zhenting and his wife, and the imperial historian Chang Yuan.

The moment Gu Chuhuan raised her head, everyone was also looking at her thoughtfully.

The woman in front of her is charming for the time being, although she just stands there quietly, but there is no trace of insecurity; The face is calm and calm, obviously with a smile, but it vaguely exudes a cold temperament; The watery eyes looked clear, but they seemed to be bottomless.

All the contradictory qualities are all reflected in the woman in front of her, but it makes people feel that there is no discord.

Even, very ........ Attractive.

For a while, there was no words.

Xiao Zhengyuan's mind was not on Gu Chuhuan, but he was quietly watching everyone's reactions: the expressions of the ladies all changed from amazement to disdain; And almost all the men will show some longing in their eyes, of course, the guests here are all powerful people in Beijing, and it is with this desire that they quickly dissolve into peace under the cover of consciously.

But Ye Boxian, the Marquis of Changjing, who has always regarded himself as a romantic man, was unusual, looking at Gu Chuhuan in a daze, his eyes were not like amazement or longing, but more like ...... Astound.

Xiao Zhengyuan's grim face showed a subtle smile.

This smile was extremely secret, but it was fully seen by Gu Chuhuan on the side.

Gu Chuhuan suddenly had an epiphany, he didn't know what Xiao Zhengyuan's intention was to take him for his own use, and in today's situation, he may be an important help for him to win over his network. Today is the birthday of the Chao Shangshu, except for the emperor, almost all the important ministers above the court are gathered here, and his appearance can disturb the minds of those people, with his Xiao Zhengyuan's ability to read countless people, he can naturally see it.

With such a mind, he took himself for his own use, and the eldest prince really made a good calculation......

"The girl is Gu Chuhuan, who is known as the 'No. 1 talented woman in Anping'?" A melodious voice came.

Gu Chuhuan looked for the voice, and a beautiful woman of the same age as herself slowly stood up, it was Chen Xixue, the eldest daughter of Chen Jingra---o, the prefect of Anping.

For Chen Xixue, Gu Chuhuan is very familiar with it, she is a quiet and dignified person who is knowledgeable on the face, but in fact she is rude and willful, just like her brother Chen Linfeng, who does not grow up.

In the previous life, the eldest lady of the Chen family seemed to be in love with the second prince Xiao Mingyan, and waited on his way back all day long, forcing the second prince, who had always been good-tempered, to scold him on the street, and also said something cruel about "never see each other in this life", which lost the face of his father Chen Jingrao. Later, under the instigation of his son Chen Linfeng, Chen Jingrao threw himself into the camp of the sixth prince Xiao Zhengyuan in a fit of anger. After Xiao Zhengyuan's defeat, all the Chen clan were exiled and never allowed to return to Beijing.

In the final analysis, it is not the source of the trouble caused by the Chen brothers and sisters.

Gu Chuhuan knew that she had bad intentions, and immediately became vigilant in her heart.

"Miss Hui's words, this is the first time that Anping has heard the first talented woman!"

"Sister, don't be modest, the so-called hero doesn't ask where he comes from, and it's the same if he wants to be a woman. Although my sister was born in the land of fireworks, she can get this honorific title, she must be Wenjiang Xuehai, and no one can match her talent. ā€

Gu Chuhuan smiled and said nothing, but he understood in his heart that Chen Xixue's hat was so high on his head, and he was afraid that he would have to accept it if he didn't accept it today. Moreover, in the blink of an eye, the title of herself changed from "girl" to "sister", which made people feel a little anxious.

My sister didn't speak, thinking it was a tacit acquiescence. My sister is not talented, but I like to read poetry and books on weekdays, and when I meet my sister today, I want to ask for advice, and if I meet the sisters of those individual houses in the future, I can also tell them about the discussion, which makes them envious, right? ā€

Chen Jingrao, who was sitting on the side, coughed lightly: "Xue'er, Hugh is messing around!" ā€

"Daddy, today is Uncle Zhao's birthday, singing and dancing alone is too monotonous, Xue'er also wants to cheer up Uncle Zhao......"

Zhao Moqun laughed heartily, and then waved his hand: "Lord Chen doesn't need to blame, it's just a matter of being a girl's family." ā€

When Gu Chuhuan heard this, he smiled lightly: "Chu Huan is a woman in the Qinglou, and it is an honor to be invited by the prince of Shangshu not to give up, everyone here is a glorious person, if my sister really wants to teach, my sister naturally can't sweep my sister Yaxing." ā€

As if waiting for Gu Chuhuan's words, Chen Xixue's face was happy: "Okay, my sister is refreshing." My sister is mediocre, and she is reluctant to pair it, is my sister willing? ā€

Although Gu Chuhuan knew that Chen Xixue was arrogant and capricious, she could not deny that her reputation as a talented woman was not false, especially for her pairs. It seems that I have to cope with it.

"Okay."

Chen Xixue walked to the hall, looked up at the night sky, and opened her mouth to say: A hundred feet tall can withstand a round of moonlight. ā€

Gu Chuhuan groaned slightly: "The number of low houses can't lock the sound of books for five nights." ā€

"Wonderful!" Zhao Moqun couldn't help but clap his hands, "It's neat and tidy, it's right!" ā€

Chen Xixue saw that Gu Chuhuan was exquisite, and she didn't dare to be careless at the moment, only to see her eyes rolling slightly, and the upper link was already in her chest: "The book of Ringwall Lieqi has poems and essays to discuss." ā€

Gu Chuhuan applauded in his heart, the combination of movement and stillness and the blending of scenes, seemingly casual, but it is difficult to fight neatly without lowering the overall pattern. It seems that this Chen Xixue is not useless.

Fortunately, he can still deal with it, but the right person has the upper hand, Chen Xixue is proficient in this way, Gu Chuhuan is really afraid that he will be difficult to deal with next.

Gu Chuhuan smiled, cleared his throat slightly, and said gently: Xiaolou has many good days, and it is suitable for wind and rain to live in peace. ā€

"Good.... Good.... That's really good....."

There was a chorus of praise at the table.

Xiao Liran and Xiao Zhengyuan looked at Gu Chuhuan together, with a look of approval in their eyes.

Chen Xixue was shocked, she always thought that Gu Chuhuan's rumors were brought out by Han Bilou in order to attract customers, but she didn't expect that she really had some ability, and she became more and more anxious.

I saw her put her hands in front of her abdomen, pacing slowly, thinking for a long time, and finally raised her head, "Sister, listen." ā€

"When my sister speaks, my sister listens to her."

Chen Xixue seemed to be a bamboo in her chest, her red lips pursed slightly, and then she opened her mouth and said: "He Qi on the first floor, Du Shaoling's five-word swan song, Fan Xiwen's two words are about love, Teng Zijing is full of waste, Lu Chunyang will be drunk after three passes, poetry?" Ruye? Yay? Xianye? The fact that I had not seen the ancients before made me cry. ā€

This sentence was full of surprise.
