Chapter 287: Confrontation

After Lin Qingxue, who was a little confused, and the sisters of the Lin family converged, her face was still a little unnatural.

"Fourth sister, where did you go just now? It's all right, is it? Lin Qinglan asked with concern. She is the biggest, and of course she has to take care of the sisters below.

"Second sister, I'm fine. Just a long detour. Lin Qingxue said softly, pretending to be embarrassed and lowered her head to prevent others from seeing her strangeness.

Thinking of the person she saw just now and the painting on the table, Lin Qingxue's face couldn't help but turn red. A slender and straight figure, a handsome and chic appearance, coupled with an amazing talent. The man who can come in here, which one is not from a good family background, especially when he is showing her the way, that kind of familiar look, Lin Qingxue is sure that his identity must be extraordinary.

Although Lin Qingxue didn't ask the person's name, she always thought of him unconsciously, and blushed and heartbeat from time to time.

I secretly decided that after I went back, I must carefully inquire about this person's name and background.

Lin Qinglan didn't know what her fourth sister was thinking at this time, she was now racking her brains for the honor of the Lin family.

There is still a time limit for the competition, so after an hour has passed, some people have completed the problem one after another.

In order not to make a fool of themselves, Lin Zhu and others also tried their best to meditate for a while before they had a draft, which was then painted by Wang Qingyan and written by Zhang Manyun, and it was completed.

Except for Lin Zhu, everyone else at this table has their own specialties, such as Wang Qingyan's qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhang Manyun's handwriting is very good, Dong Yuzhen is very talented in chess, and what surprised Lin Zhu the most was Song Hanyu, don't look at her small person, she actually wrote a good poem.

Lin Zhu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, wondering if he was too lazy, although he had the foundation of his previous life, but because he had always paid attention to the books in the travelogue, he didn't take some poems to heart at all. So now it's just a matter of watching other people's performances.

Fortunately, she was still a little clever and found some face in the idea of calligraphy and painting.

Now after people have collected all the works. Princess Changmin swapped the man's painting with the woman's. Each side chooses three mates who they think are best.

Of course, there is no name left on the painting, but some people may recognize the font in it, but under the nose of Princess Changmin, no one dares to collude with anyone else. Deliberately choose people close to you.

Finally, after some comments and guesses. The man and woman each chose three paintings that they thought were the best.

After the evaluation of Princess Changmin. On the women's side, Miss Su Yingying, the granddaughter of Su Shanchang, Guangyuan Gong of Taishi Mansion, won the first place, the second prize was won by Xu Yingchun, the granddaughter of Xu Da, Mao Yuan Gong of Taifu Mansion, and the third prize was won by the Lin family sisters and Wang Qingyan and others.

This made Lin Zhu and the others overjoyed. The surprise came too quickly.

Even those who didn't get a ranking all congratulated them generously, only Sun Shuirong was a little crazy about Lin Zhu and the others' jealousy.

Who won the top three on the men's side will be announced later, namely the Su family, the Lin family, Du Bin and Dong Wenbo. Although the two of them were at the same table, they came up with two works, and both of them were selected, so they tied for third place.

Lin Zhu and the others were even more happy, especially Dong Yuzhen, her brother's brilliant performance made her even more excited than her own third-class, after all, her own was made by five people together.

And Dong Wenbo did it alone with his rich knowledge. It's even more amazing. In this way, Dong Wenbo can be regarded as a famous name in the eyes of everyone in the capital.

Of course, Princess Changmin also generously gave away the reward. The man got some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the woman here, of course, some jewelry, but Princess Changmin took out all the jewelry made inside, for the nobles in the palace to wear, although it will also be rewarded to some powerful people, but the amount is still small, and now Changmin Gong generously took out so much, which naturally made these people who were rewarded very happy. They all saluted Princess Changmin to express their gratitude.

Although the Lin family also got the third class, Lin Qingxue was also a little unsatisfactory. The first is that there is no painting and calligraphy works by Mu Qiyue that she has seen before, and the second is that although it is ranked third alongside the Wang family and Lin Zhu, it really makes her feel a little sorry and unhappy.

But she was secretly proud in her heart, for the man she had seen, whom the other ladies had not seen, and his paintings, made her feel that her luck was much better than that of the others.

The game is over, and the time is not early, because there is still some distance from everyone's residence in the capital, so Princess Changmin let everyone feel free, if you are willing to stay, you can arrange to stay for one night, and if you don't want to stay, you can go back.

Lin Zhu, Wang Qingyan and the others were unwilling to stay here any longer, and besides, no girl could stay outside without her family.

So the ladies are preparing to go back.

Lin Zhu and Wang Qingyan and the others walked out together.

"Sister Bamboo, come with us." Wang Qingyan said.

"We still have to wait for Second Brother Du and Sister Zhen's elder brother." Lin Zhu told Wang Qingyan and the others about coming in the Du family's carriage.

"Do you know the Du family?" Wang Qingyan was so surprised, "Why haven't I heard you say it before?" ”

"Sister Yan, I only knew Grandpa Du before, and I didn't know Grandpa Du's family background, but I only found out a few days ago, and I was also shocked." Who would have thought that an old man who was obsessed with wine would be the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"Hehe, Grandpa Du followed my grandfather to Sister Bamboo." Zhang Manyun knew this, "Who let her have good wine there." ”

"Sister Yan, don't listen to Sister Yun, because there is something to ask Grandpa Du to do, and Grandpa Gan will invite him to come over." Although Old Man Du is well-known for his good wine, Lin Zhu is not willing to talk about it here.

"Oh, it's for the sake of the garden." Wang Qingyan nodded in understanding. "But, Sister Bamboo, do you have good wine at home?" Obviously, Wang Qingyan did not miss Zhang Manyun's words.

"There's not much wine left." Lin Zhu nodded. The heart said that if it weren't for Old Man Du there, maybe there would be more wine left.

"What kind of wine is it?" Wang Qingyan asked with interest.

"Sister Yan, do you drink too?" Otherwise, why should you be so curious, of course, Lin Zhu didn't say this, but his curious eyes revealed this meaning.

"Of course I don't drink it." Wang Qingyan hurriedly shook her head, "Honor my grandfather." ”

When Lin Zhu heard this, he had a headache, does every old man love to drink? "Now there is only some wolfberry wine, and there is no rice wine anymore." Lin Zhu still said honestly.

"My mother drank wolfberry wine. But my grandfather probably didn't like to drink. Wang Qingyan thought for a moment.

"Let's get over a few days. When the new wine comes out, I will send some to you, so please taste it. Lin Zhu said with a smile.

"Okay then." Wang Qingyan nodded, "Don't worry." My sister won't treat you badly. Wang Qingyan patted Lin Zhu's shoulder arrogantly again. It made everyone laugh.

Arrived at the door. Because there are a lot of people. There are also a lot of carriages, so it will take a while to find your own carriage.

Lin Zhu, Wang Qingyan and others stood near the door, waiting for the carriage to come.

Before he waited for his own carriage, he waited for a person who didn't have a good feeling.

Sun Shuirong led his subordinates to stand in front of Lin Zhu and the others. There was a sparkle of ill-will in his eyes.

"Yo, I really didn't expect the young lady of the Wang family to stand with a country girl and talk so energetically." Sun Shuirong's voice was very high-pitched, and there were also some young ladies and attendants standing around him waiting for the carriage.

Hearing her words, some people looked at Lin Zhu and his party curiously.

"Is there something wrong with Miss Sun?" Wang Qingyan looked at her expressionlessly. Sun Shuirong wanted to see Wang Qingyan's embarrassed expression, but there was nothing at all.

"Others don't know the way, but I know that a person who can't even write well can actually get the third, if this is to make people know the way, how can you make us embarrassed." Sun Shuirong said a little aggressively.

Lin Zhu and the others understood, and to put it mildly, it was because Lin Zhu had embarrassed her, so she wanted to find a place here.

And the people around were even more curious when they heard that there was such an inside story, originally Lin Zhu was favored by Princess Changmin, which had already made many people a little concerned, but now when they heard this kind of thing, they couldn't help but want to know the inside story of Lu Dao. Of course, there are some people who want to see jokes because of jealousy.

"It turns out that Miss Sun thinks it's unfair that we got the third." Lin Zhu took Sun Shuirong into the pit.

"What is your identity, and where is there a place for you to speak." Sun Shuirong said disdainfully, for Lin Zhu, she couldn't wait to step on the soles of her feet.

"I didn't expect the dignified Miss Sun family to speak based on her identity. I'm so sorry, the little woman is a peasant girl, I can't afford to climb high, I talked to you just now, and lowered your status, please forgive me. Lin Zhu was not overwhelmed by her belittling, but instead performed a standard ladylike etiquette to Sun Shuirong.

As soon as she finished speaking, some people's faces changed significantly. The gaze that looked at Sun Shuirong also had a different meaning.

Sun Shuirong took Lin Zhu's apology for granted, raised her head, and didn't look at Lin Zhu.

"Miss Sun thinks that I can't wait as well as you, and this third title should be given to you?" Wang Qingyan asked with an unkind face.

"Of course...... No. Sun Shuirong just wanted to say of course, but was pulled by the people around her, she looked around vigilantly, gasped for breath, and denied. I just don't want to see someone in it indiscriminately, and I have grievances, so I just speak out for everyone. ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Qingyan was really angry. It's a good thing, and this honor can't be counted on a certain person, there are five people at the same table, and they all have credit in it.

"Isn't she just a promiscuous?" Sun Shuirong was taken aback by Wang Qingyan's face, but she still pointed at Lin Zhu and said.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Changmin explained that people at the same table can make a painting and calligraphy work together." Zhang Manyun stood in front of Lin Zhu, blocking her behind him, and looked directly at Sun Shuirong.

Sun Shuirong wanted to embarrass Lin Zhu, but she didn't want Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun to come out together and fight for her.

"Miss Zhang is right." A gentle voice came from the side. Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and it turned out to be Su Yingying, the young lady of the Su family who had just taken the lead.

The status of the Su family is very high in the Shengyuan Dynasty, and Sun Shuirong does not want to offend her. I had to laugh a few times, and retreated with a red face.

Wang Qingyan and others, who didn't expect her to come out, walked up to Su Yingying and thanked Zai.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for your help." Wang Qingyan had seen her when she was very young, but it had been seven or eight years since then.

"Miss Wang is polite, I'm just telling the truth. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Su Yingying said with a smile.

Wang Qingyan smiled embarrassedly, since she had a problem on her face, few people had seen it before.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, I don't know if I can invite Miss Su to come to my house in a few days." Wang Qingyan took the initiative to invite.

"Oh." Su Yingying smiled, she knew what Wang Qingyan meant, if she remembered correctly, it should be the days of Wang Qingyan and Lu in more than a month. "Okay, I'll definitely go." (To be continued......)
