In the most lively teahouse in Shengjing, everyone gathered around a well-known calligraphy and painting dealer, listening to him talk about the treasures outside the women's scientific examination room that day. "It's a pity, it's only a hundred taels of silver, I didn't even take Miss Song's Melantu, so that Zhang Yuanwai got cheap!"

One of the spectators was dissatisfied: "Li Yuanwai, you are too exaggerated, our Shengjing's first talented female prime minister's painting is only 1,200 taels, why is Miss Song's painting 300 taels higher than hers?" Li Yuanwai snorted contemptuously at the spectator.

"What do you know, there are talented people from generation to generation, and one generation is stronger than the next. Miss Lin became famous at the twelve, but you know that Miss Song took the women's examination on the eleventh day, this painting is already amazing, at that time, our four major painting and calligraphy dealers in Shengjing were all present, and the Melan picture was indeed a layer higher than Miss Lin's peony picture back then! The position of the first talented woman in Shengjing, I'm afraid that I am going to make a move! ”

Li Yuanwai was still talking here, and everyone was amazed when they heard it, but some people didn't listen: "What you calligraphers and painters bought can't be counted, and this painting can only represent its value if it is sold from your hands and how much money it has been sold." At that time, Miss Lin's peony picture was sold by Zhao Yuanwai for two thousand taels of silver! ”

Everyone came to their senses and nodded yes, this calligraphy and painting dealer buys a painting, and can't see the final collection value of the painting, which depends on the price of the collection. At this time, a person walked in at the door, his face was full of red light, and he happened to hear everyone talking, so he strode over and said with a smile: "That's because you don't know how high the price of Miss Song's Melantu is!" ”

When people looked back, didn't the person who came be Zhang Yuanwai, who had received Miss Song's Mobao. Li Yuanwai stood up from the center of the crowd and asked, "Zhang Yuanwai, that Melan picture, you have already sold it so quickly?" Everyone made a way, Zhang Yuanwai walked to Li Yuanwai's side, and said with a smile: "There are many people who ask for Miss Song's Mobao, but Feifeng Lou has paid this price!" ”

Zhang Yuanwai stretched out three fingers, and Li Yuanwai's face changed: "Three thousand taels? That's doubled! Zhang Yuanwai made a lot of money, and he was naturally happy. couldn't help but reveal the details to everyone: "Everyone has heard of the luxury of this Feifeng Tower, and it is not surprising that it cost three thousand taels to buy Miss Song's Melantu this time." Listen to the female shopkeeper of Feifeng Tower. Feifeng Building has an upper room called Molan Pavilion, and I am worried that there is no matching ornament. ”

"How big is this Feifeng Tower, spending so much money to buy Miss Song's Mobao, without blinking!" Zhang Yuanwai smiled: "After I watched this women's department, the name of Shengjing's first talented woman should really be moved." ”

People didn't notice. The window of the private room next door was open to this side, and all the people inside heard the discussion outside. Bai Wuye looked at Sheng Xuejian, who was drinking soup, and asked, "Why did you spend a lot of money to raise Song Liangchen?" ”

"First, I just don't let Lin Banxia have a good time, and I don't let the Prime Minister's Mansion have a good time. Second, Song Liangchen is so dazzling, the Prime Minister's Mansion is afraid that he will concentrate on dealing with her, and he has no time to take care of others. Third ......"

"What's the third?" Bai Wuye became curious.

"Her paintings are worth it. I have heart to heart. Sheng Xue said lightly.

The third exam was to be held five days later, because after the elimination of the second round of exams, only twenty women were left to make it to the third. So the ministry gave each female candidate time to prepare and rest. It's just because of this third book test and chess test. It's a waste of brainpower. In the study of Taifu's mansion, Song Liangchen leaned on the pillow on the soft couch, holding a white chess piece in his hand, frowning at the chessboard. She was already at an impasse.

Taifu closed his eyes leisurely, and the sunspot in his hand knocked on the table again and again. After a while, Song Liangchen raised his head and said unhappily: "Grandpa, I'm annoyed that you knocked me like this!" Don't knock! ”

"Hey, hey! Who made you so proud? Hit my inverted boots, can you not admit defeat obediently? Taifu's face was dumbfounded, and he didn't have the stability of an elder at all. Song Liangchen was deflated and threw away his chess pieces: "Liangchen knows that he is wrong, but it can't be done!" ”

Mrs. Song's expression finally became serious, "Liangchen." Feifenglou bought your Melantu with a lot of money, because he wanted to support you to sit in the position of the first talented woman in Shengjing. It's just that who is behind this Feifeng Tower, and what the intention is, is unknown! Song Liangchen's little face then showed the same contemplative expression as Song Taifu: "This Feifeng Tower is indeed mysterious. I see that the female shopkeeper is also a very shrewd person, but she must not be the real owner of Feifeng Tower. ”

Song Taifu nodded, the grandfather and grandson began to clean up the chessboard again, and Song Liangchen spoke again: "But some things don't matter, at least Feifeng Pavilion's purpose now is not to make the Prime Minister's Mansion happy, and it just so happens that I don't want the Prime Minister's Mansion to be happy." ”

"Oops! How accidentally I lost again! Fan Siyan threw away the chess pieces. Very annoyed. Today, she made an appointment with Situ Zisu to practice chess with Sheng Xue in the Feifeng Tower. Originally, she was worried that Sheng Xuejian would not be able to enter the next round of the exam smoothly, so she came to help, who knew that Sheng Xuejian's chess strength was far above Fan Siyan. Gradually, practicing chess became a repeated challenge of not admitting defeat.

"Okay, you guys should rest too, aren't you afraid of using your brains?" Fan Siyan had to fight again, Sheng Xue looked at Situ Zisu for help, this kind county lord came out in time and became a peacemaker.

"Yukimi, you never said before, it turns out that your chess skills are already so powerful!" Fan Siyan looked at Sheng Xue with some surprise.

"I've always played chess with my mother, and I don't know how good it is." Sheng Xue saw that he answered truthfully, but Situ Zisu exclaimed: "Your current chess strength is not the same as that of our second-class national players of the Apocalypse. In this third chess test, I think you don't have to worry about it at all! ”

"Really? Thank you for the compliment! Sheng Xue smiled, showing her white teeth, which was very cute. Fan Siyan rubbed Sheng Xuejian's snow-white face dissatisfiedly: "What about me!" ”

"Thank you, Sister Siyan, too!" Sheng Xue saw that Fan Siyan was pinching her face, and her mouth gurgled and made a not very clear sound, which looked funny and funny. The three of them immediately burst out laughing. At this time, there was a knock at the door, the girl from Feifenglou presented the exquisite dishes, Hongmei and Baimei put away the chessboard, and the three of them began to eat.

"But this time, Yukimi is still dangerous. In the end, the rest of the people are only afraid of Miss Song and Miss Lin Si. Yukimi can be selected as a third person ......" (To be continued.) )
