A blush appeared on Xie Mulin's face little by little, and soon his face turned red.

She just said it in passing, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with the word "occupancy" at the time, but now that it is in Xiao Rui's mouth, how can it sound so ambiguous? But to explain that she didn't mean that way, it seemed a little unclear......

Forget it, just act like you didn't say anything wrong. Originally, she was not wrong.

Xie Mulin turned his head away with a blushing face and cleared his throat: "I ask you, ...... you Have you seen that Thursday girl? ”

Xiao Rui was silent for a moment. He was thinking about how he would answer.

Man, he's seen it, and he doesn't think there's anything. If you answer that you haven't seen it now, it will be troublesome to be exposed by Xie Mulin in the future, and you may also be said, "If you haven't seen me, why are you sure that you won't be fascinated by her beauty". Therefore, Xiao Rui quickly came up with a thoughtful answer: "I have seen it, not face-to-face, I saw her from a distance when I was in the Yan Palace, and I saw her follow her mother into the palace to meet the princess." Yongping didn't like her, and once pointed it out to me from afar, telling me that this girl had just stolen the limelight from her. ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows: "So, do you know what she looks like?" Don't you think she's beautiful? Don't feel a little excited? And she also has a very loud reputation as a talented woman, not just a straw bag beauty with a face. ”

Xiao Rui replied very calmly: "Really? I can tell that she is a beauty, but there are more beauties in the world. I don't think she's as good as the future third princess. Although her beautiful shelves are very sufficient, I have really seen a lot of beautiful girls, and I don't think there is anything special. She smiled dignified most of the time in front of people, didn't talk much, and asked her mother to do everything for her. Even though she is famous, I have never really seen her show her talent on the spot, far worse than the talent I have ever seen. Even if it's not a straw bale beauty, it's almost a wooden beauty, just a puppet of Mrs. Xu and her mother.

The Zhou family held her so high, firstly, because Beiping was not as elite as the capital, and secondly, because Zhou Buzheng was a high-ranking and powerful envoy, even if she was more talented and learned, she would be allowed to give up one or two things depending on her family background, which created her reputation as a talented woman. If she is really compared with the really outstanding talented women in Beijing, I am afraid that she will show her timidity. Not to mention from afar, the third daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongning, Zhao, when she was still in the boudoir in the past, I think she was several times stronger than her. ”

The third daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongning, Zhao, is Zhao Ying of the Zhao family, and is one of Xie Yinghui's best friends, and she almost became the crown princess, but she was pitted by the prince, the second prince and the third prince. However, she is now married to the third son of the eldest princess of Yongning, but she is also a loving husband and wife, and she has similar interests, which can be called whether Jitai is here. Xie Mulin had heard Xie Yinghui mention Zhao Ying's outstanding talent, if the girl on Thursday really had to rely on her cousin Zhou Yazheng to prepare a poem about Yong Lamei in advance to be in the limelight at the palace tea party, then her talent could indeed be compared to Zhao Ying's sky.

Xie Mulin asked Xiao Rui with some curiosity: "On Thursday, the girl read a poem at the tea party, and was praised by Mrs. Xu to the heavens, but not on the earth, and asked me to make a poem on the spot to compare with her." I didn't think I had that talent, so I declined. But the county lord of Yongping was muttering, saying that the poem sounded even more Zhou Yazheng's tone. What's going on? Could it be that the name of the Thursday girl is really fake? ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Is this...... I have never witnessed it at the scene, so I naturally dare not make judgments easily. But Yongping has been studying with the princess since he was a child, although he doesn't like to write poems, but it is not a problem to appreciate one or two. Zhou Yazheng is a well-known poet and talent in Beiping City, his poems are widely circulated, and in the past few years, he also likes to go around to attend the gathering of readers, and often in a short period of time can make poems about other people's propositions, and is often praised as having a hurry. It's just that in the past two years, he has concentrated on studying hard at home to prepare for the exam, and he has gone out less, so people have gradually mentioned it.

In the past two years, the Thursday girl has become more famous for her poetry, and she is not without poetic talent, and she has also written poems on the spot according to the temporary propositions of others, but there are not many of them outside. I once heard Yongping talk about it, saying that the poems she wrote in front of people were just ordinary boudoir level, but it was because there was no real talent in Peking that she stole the limelight, in fact, it was much worse than the princess, but can the princess still compete with a little girl for fame? The Zhou family will occasionally send out one or two really good poems, saying that they were written on Thursday, but in fact, most of them have been revised by Zhou Yazheng or the Qingke of the Zhou family, which is naturally better than the original. It's not a fraud, it's just that it's not very true. ”

Xiao Rui thought for a while: "If you go to Huang Juren to inquire about this matter, you may be able to inquire more clearly." He used to give Mr. Zhou as a curtain, and he was relatively close to Zhou Yazheng, and maybe he helped catch a knife. ”

Xie Mulin suddenly realized, and shook his head disapprenously: "Today's talented people and talented women, if they want to earn a fame, they all pay attention to composing poems and lyrics on the spot in front of many people in public, and they have to be temporary proposition compositions, relying on the drafts prepared in advance to show off, after all, they will inevitably be questioned." If the Thursday girl really has that ability, she can show off and show off. Since it's reluctant, why do you have to add the reputation of a talented woman to your head? She is already good enough to be talented and beautiful, and if she adds to it, she is not afraid that one day she will be debunked and end up with a fake stigma? What do you say she's trying to do? ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "I don't know about this." But...... In the past, it was rumored that when King Yan took a fancy to the four princes as heirs, the Zhou family was actually cultivating a few younger girls on Friday and Saturday. Later, when it was rumored that the third prince was going to succeed, the Zhou family rejected several families who intended to propose marriage on Thursday, and instead asked her to learn how to be a noblewoman.

"Originally, when it was rumored that the three princes had a deep love for Xiao Lin, the Zhou family also specially inquired about the preferences of Xiao Guifei and the three princes, and asked people to ask me privately about Xiao Lin. Later, I heard that the Lan family was assigned to marry the third prince, but the third prince thought that the Lan family was not dignified and stable enough, and the Thursday girl was no longer lively, but became the dignified and graceful appearance she is now...... "It was Xiao Rui's turn to enter the Yan Palace, and the Zhou family was probably too hasty, so the Thursday girl went directly without new adjustments."

Xie Mulin understood and was full of surprise: "Has the Zhou family been adjusting the image of his daughter according to the taste of the future son?" This is too ugly, isn't it? The third prince made a marriage with Miss Lan, and even the third prince didn't want to marry, so he couldn't beat the emperor! ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Yes, so his family didn't expect to let the Thursday girl go to grab the position of the main room, but planned to let her be the side room of the prince." But this girl with the grandeur of the deputy master wants the future princess to agree to enter the door as a side room......" he shook his head, "Anyway, I'm not optimistic." The Zhou family tossed so much, just to continue the glory of his family's power. But anyone with a discerning eye, who doesn't know what his family thinks? I'm waiting to see the joke! ”

Shemulin understood. Xiao Rui is naturally also a clear-eyed person, and he is also waiting to see the jokes of the Zhou family, how can he have any thoughts about that puppet beauty?
