Li Yi and Pei Junshao came downstairs, and the fifth judge had already arrived. It was an elderly man with an ancient appearance and ancient clothes, with white hair scattered over his shoulders, snow-white eyebrows slightly touching the corners of his eyes, and his age was never less than ancient. He sat upright in his chair, his eyes drooping, and his eyes closed as if he were asleep.

Mr. Tan ushered the two into the empty chair and sat down, and whispered to the two: "That is the white eyebrow master, a close friend of the old lady." ”

Pei Junshao nodded and sat down. Li Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of greeting the white-eyed master. He has heard of this person's name, he is a famous man in the rivers and lakes, a veteran congenital martial artist who has been famous for decades, and his temperament is the most eccentric.

Not to mention him Li Yi, I'm afraid that even if his teacher's father is present, whether he can lead this person to a glance is between the two. It seems that Mrs. Xiao has a very deep friendship with this old man, and she can let this old lady be judged by a group of female students.

Mr. Tan and Yang are both women, sitting on the right, and it just so happens that the three Huxin Pavilion galleries here include the one where the portrait of the challenge winner is hung. The two whispered intimately, but no matter how small their voices were, there were still scattered words that came into the ears of those who cared about them.

At this time, the person they suddenly mentioned, Li Yi and Pei Junshao, both pricked up their ears, and couldn't help but look back at the corridor over there.

At this glance, the eyes of the two collided again. Li Yi's heart is dark, but he can't be superficial. Pei Junshao raised his vigilance, thinking about the other party's movements in the past few days, and was very worried about whether the other party would be able to score impartially according to his words in the next exam.

It turned out that Mr. Tan and Yang mentioned a person - Xiao Fenghuang, that is, Xiao Wenying, Zong Zhengke's biological mother. Xiao Wenying was also the leader of the challenge back then, and her portrait was actually hung under the Drip Gallery.

So, will Ah Ke stop in front of that portrait?

Xu had the same thoughts, and Li Yi and Pei Junshao looked at the third wooden pavilion together. Sure enough, in the crowd that gradually approached, a girl in a light blue dress stopped in front of a portrait. From afar, her coat danced in the breeze. She is like a Limbo fairy, ready to fly.

Under the dripping gallery, Zong Zhengke raised his eyes, and his eyes were calm and unwavering. But there were slight ripples in my heart. Wang Qingzhao, she chewed on this strange and familiar name astringently. The woman in the painting is her mother who died in her previous life because she gave birth to her, her own mother she has never met, and the only person she missed when she was born without love.

There is a glamorous and unparalleled Xiao Xiuru by his side. She whispered the words under Wang Qingzhao's portrait, and exclaimed, "It's really amazing! I heard that the test questions in the small exam are very difficult, and it is enough to laugh at my classmates if I can get four up, but I didn't think that this senior could actually get six! Wow! ”

Suddenly, someone sneered disdainfully: "What if you have six superiors?" Later, it wasn't that he was ruined. How can such a talented woman with low character be worthy of being a role model for us? I really should build yì to Xueli and remove her portrait! ”

The long-lost anger suddenly grabbed Zong Zhengke's heart, and she slowly turned around and looked at the comer. But it is a group of several young girls with beautiful appearances, and the leader is the one who speaks. Born delicate, but full of arrogance. When she saw Zong Zhengke looking over, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What?" Am I not right? ”

Zong Zhengke slowly blessed himself, and said softly: "The little girl Zong Zhengke, I have seen the lord of Hecheng County. ”

Xiao Juejue, the lord of Hecheng County, looked Zong Zhengke up and down, his eyes swept over the only red gold phoenix head bead in her hair, and her face was a little more contemptuous and disdainful. She is gorgeously dressed, and although there are only three or four pieces of head jewelry, all of them are gold and expensive things, all of which come from the Zhenlong Pavilion in the capital.

Wave your hand nonchalantly. Xiao Juejue said: "It turned out to be the third girl of Zongzheng, and she was exempt from courtesy. Tut-tut, look at your outfit! The lord of this county heard that Uncle Nine had prepared a lot of high-quality jewelry for you, why was it such a good thing? For your respectful sake. Well, this hairpin will reward you! ”

After that, she casually plucked a peony hairpin inlaid with white jade and rubies in her hair and threw it at Zong Zhengke's feet, raised her chin slightly, as if waiting for Zong Zhengke to salute and thank you.

Zong Zhengke knew that his mother and uncle had been at odds with Xiao Juejue's mother, Xiao Hongluan, since they were young. and his uncle became the head of the family. The relationship between the two sides is almost completely torn apart.

Although the attitude of the elders will inevitably affect the younger generations, Xiao Juejue's deliberate humiliation is still a bit too much. The so-called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, her Zongzheng Ke is not surnamed Xiao, Xiao Juejue did this, and did not take her father in her eyes.

Lowering his head and glancing at the flower hairpin, Zong Zhengke hooked his lips and chuckled, and said in a low voice: "The inferior products of Zhenlong Pavilion can be purchased for three hundred taels of silver." ”

Xiao Juejue's face was gloomy, she took a step forward, and said in a cold voice: "What did you say?" ”

"How can such an inferior product be something that a noble person like you, the county lord, should use?" Zong Zhengke raised his head and said sincerely, "County Lord, you don't want it, you should too." ”

She stepped forward, and by chance stepped on the white jade handle of the hairpin. Everyone only heard a clattering sound, and when Zong Zhengke's skirt was removed, the jade handle of the flower hairpin had been broken into two.

"Huh?! The little girl's unintentional move! Zong Zhengke exclaimed in surprise, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "Why are you so careless?" The things of Zhenlong Pavilion, even if they are inferior, should not be so thin and brittle. ”

Xiao Xiuru interjected at the right time: "Cousin Ke, I heard that some shops in Beijing do some dark business, specializing in imitating the goods of those big stores and selling them cheaply. What Qiluo Pavilion, Jinxiufang, Zhenlong Pavilion, have all been imitated. I heard that those shops have a lot of origin, and there are many princes and nobles who support them. ”

The content of these words made Xiao Juejue laugh angrily. She glanced at Zong Zhengke fiercely, and then glanced at Xiao Xiuru. She couldn't help but be stunned, but she found out that the girl behind Zong Zhengke looked so beautiful. Even if she is conceited and her appearance is peerless, she must admit that she is not as good as this strange face.

"Who are you?" Xiao Juejue asked coldly, tightening her fingers, wanting to tear that beautiful face.

Xiao Xiuru grinned, stepped forward and gave Xiao Jue Juefu a salute, and said respectfully: "Little girl Xiao Xiuru, I have seen the lord of Hecheng. After straightening her waist, she said seriously, "Really, county lord, you should interrogate the person in charge of purchasing, don't be blinded by the goods of the bully." ”

"It turned out to be the niece of Concubine Xiao. For the sake of the concubine, the lord of this county does not care about you. The background of your small family, some things are not accurate, and it should be. Just don't follow the wrong person, make trouble and make jokes. Xiao Juejue chuckled twice, circled around Zong Zhengke and Xiao Xiuru twice, stopped behind the two and said, "Zong Zheng's third girl, why don't you tell me, how much silver is this shabby step on your head worth?" Ha ha! (To be continued.) )
