"Papa......" A crisp applause rang out, but Tan Baiyu walked out with a smile on his face, and exclaimed, "Today, I am fortunate to be able to hear the debate of the two talented women of Jingshi with my own ears, which is really an eye-opener for Zaixia!" ”

Tan Baiyu personally came forward to support the scene, just to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere in the field, and the bright-eyed people around him naturally did not dare to continue to dismantle his platform on Tan Baiyu's territory, even if they were very dissatisfied with Xun Zhi in their hearts, they had changed their faces with a smile.

"yes, it's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful debate!"

"The two of them are worthy of being talented women in Beijing, amazing!"

The people around him began to shout continuously, and the deadlock between Gao Ruoya and Xun Zhi was broken.

Gao Ruoya is not a person who doesn't know how to lift, at this moment, since someone came forward and was willing to give her a step, she naturally had to keep this last trace of grace, and hurriedly said: "If you lose, you lose, Miss Xun Zhi has learned above me, I admire it in my heart!" ”

Xun Zhi! You once again made me lose face, this time you let you win me, next time you will not be so lucky, the county lord will definitely let the people of the whole Beijing Division understand, who is the real number one talent in this Beijing Division!

Gao Ruoya had a smile on her face, but in fact, she had already gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, and her and Xun Zhi's Liangzi were completely concluded this time.

"The county lord has won the award, how can the people's talent be compared with the county lord, it's just luck."

Gao Ruoya's duplicity, how could Xun Xuan not know? It's just that the other party said this, and she naturally had to return two sentences.

"Hahaha, I can't wait for the talents of the two, so don't be humble to the county lord and Miss Xun Zhi." Tan Baiyu took over the conversation with a smile, and it could be seen that this person was a person who could speak well, and he said a few words very beautifully, and easily resolved the deadlock in the debate.

"Now that the winner has been decided, what is President Tan waiting for? Why not announce the results quickly? As soon as Tan Baiyu's words fell, he saw Jing Ying lazily leaning on the boat pole on the side with a wine jug to urge, and her posture looked quite chic and casual.

Tan Baiyu considered that the Gao family was too powerful to offend, but Jing Ying was not afraid, he looked at Tan Baiyu crookedly for a long time and did not announce the results, he had already waited impatiently, so he reminded him.

"The prince is right, since Miss Xun Zhi has won the first place, then this dragon and phoenix lantern will belong to Miss Xun." As soon as Tan Baiyu said this, the eyes of the people around him were either envious or jealous towards Xun Xuan.

Xun Xuan smiled, leaned over respectfully and smiled: "Thank you, President Tan!" ”

"The boat is already outside the boat, if Miss Xun Zhi admires her face, she can board the boat with me and release the lanterns!" Tan Baiyu made a "please" gesture towards Xun Xuan's sideways.

"There is President Law! However, the little woman has a reluctant request, and hopes that President Tan will fulfill it. Xun Xuan said respectfully.

"Miss Xun Zhi, please speak." Tan Baiyu said.

Xun Xuan smiled and stretched out her hand to pull An Anyue on the side: "This is my cousin." If I board the lightboat with me, if I board the boat alone and leave, I will have to let my cousin go ashore and return home alone. ”

Xun Xuan's words were vaguely telling Tan Baiyu that it was unreasonable for a woman in her boudoir to follow a strange man to swim on the lake alone, and if she brought her cousin with her, it would be much more convenient and would not attract a lot of gossip.

After all, people's words are terrifying, especially in a place like Jingshi, where people eat people and don't spit out bones, if you don't pay more attention, you don't know how to die in the future.

"She's really going to take her cousin on the boat!"

"Who doesn't know about Jingshi? This Lotus Boat of the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce can only be boarded by the top prize winner of the Lantern Festival, but she asked her cousin to follow her, which is really shameless! ”

"Humph! It's just that she got the first prize, and she really takes herself seriously! ”

The surrounding ladies sneered one after another, and their eyes were full of contempt.

"Ah Zhi, this is not good, you should board the boat by yourself, I will wait for you on the shore." An Xinyue saw the hostile eyes of the ladies around her, and couldn't help but retreat.

"If my cousin can't be together, then President Tan's kindness, Ah Zhi can only refuse." Xun Xuan said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Tan Baiyu chuckled, and was not annoyed by Xun Xuan's "ignorance of lifting", even if others couldn't see it, how could Tan Baiyu not understand the deep meaning of Xun Xuan's words if he was so thoughtful.

This little girl had a deeper mind than he expected, but she was an interesting person.

"In that case, then please Miss An go with you!" Tan Baiyu readily agreed.

Xun Xuan smiled, completely ignoring the surprised and jealous eyes of the people around her, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, President Tan!" With that, she reached out and poked Anxin Yue on the side.

An Xinyue came back to her senses at this time, and said with joy on her face: "Thank you, President Tan!" ”

"What? How so? That Miss An only answered one more question correctly than me, and she was not the first place, why did she get on the lotus boat? ”

"That's it! Even if she wants to board the boat, it should be the lord of Qinghe, why is it her turn? ”

"This Xun Zhi is really shameless, she just used some indiscriminate means to snatch the county lord's lead, and actually instigated her cousin to oppress us together, it's really hateful!"

The ladies gritted their teeth delicately, this lotus boat lantern has long been the custom of the Lantern Festival in Beijing, many people waited by the lake early in order to see the excitement, and the whole lake was crowded with people inside and out.

If anyone is lucky enough to board this lotus boat, in just a few days, he will inevitably become the object of conversation among the Beijing masters after tea and dinner. Such a rare opportunity to show their faces, many ladies on the ship are naturally looking forward to it.

Who would have thought that such a good thing would actually fall on Xun Zhi's head, and the most annoying thing is that even a lady of Anfu who they once ignored at all actually got such a good thing.

How can this not be angry?

Everyone turned their heads to look at Gao Ruoya on the side, but saw that his face was extremely ugly standing aside, although there was no superfluous expression on his face, but his hands had already unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Miss Xun Zhi, Miss An, please!" Tan Baiyu raised his hand again and invited.

Xun Xuan bowed slightly, pulled An Xinyue and walked towards the side of the boat with the people on and off the boat.

Although the boat on the lake is small, the decoration is very exquisite, the whole looks like a lotus flower, and there is a guqin and a tea set in the center of the boat, which looks quite elegant.

Xun Xuan and An Xinyue just got on the lotus boat with their front feet, and Jing Ying followed with their back feet.

Tan Baiyu was stunned, and looked at Jing Ying with a confused expression: "Lord, ...... are you?"

Jing Ying tilted her head and asked calmly: "This king can't get on this boat?" ”

"Not really." Tan Baiyu smiled awkwardly, and secretly said that this King Zhao didn't know which way to smoke, and this moody God of Wealth was still less troublesome.

Jing Ying saw that Tan Baiyu didn't say anything more, so she turned around and walked to the boat stool and sat down, making herself a pot of tea.

When the ladies on the boat saw Zhao Wang Jingying boarding the lotus boat, they were even more jealous and crazy, and they couldn't wait for the people who were on the lotus boat now.

Gao Ruoya couldn't care about the image anymore, and as soon as he raised his hand, he swept all the paper and pen on the table at hand to the ground.

Seeing that Qinghe County Lord was angry, everyone was afraid that Gao Ruoya would be angry with them because of this, so they walked to the deck one after another, and stretched their necks one by one to look at the lotus boat and the faintly visible noble figure on the boat that was drifting farther and farther away.

The lotus boat threw the brightly lit lightboat out of the distance, and the lake instantly became much quieter, except for the sound of the oars shaking the lake.

The four of them were in the same boat, no one spoke, the atmosphere was a little gloomy for a while, Xun Xuan was thinking about how to negotiate with Tan Baiyu to join the business alliance, and he needed to find a good opportunity.

"Today's night is extremely beautiful, if the little woman is ugly and plays a song, it can be regarded as the occasion." Xun Xuan suggested with a smile.

Tan Baiyu didn't expect Xun Zhi, a woman raised in a deep boudoir, to face two strange men so calmly, without the slightest hint of shyness and twisting, but she also let go a lot for a while, and turned her head to look at Jing Ying at the same time: "I don't have any opinion, I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks?" ”

King Zhao Jingying was lazily leaning on the side of the boat at the moment, resting his head on his arms, looking up at the starry sky quietly, and said lightly: "This king is just trying to be quiet, you can do it at will, you don't need to care about this king." ”

Jing Ying's status is noble, and being in the same boat with such a person is that Xun Xuan doesn't mind, Tan Baiyu doesn't mind, but An Anyue is also restrained.

After Jing Ying said this, Tan Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that if he really came to be quiet, then he would be relieved, and after a change of thought, he really didn't care about Jing Ying anymore.

Xun Xuan has never been afraid of Jing Ying, just as if he didn't exist.

Only An Xinyue stayed aside, not sitting or standing, for fear that she would shake the boat over a little and accidentally shake Jing Ying into the lake, wouldn't she be too guilty?

An Xinyue's uneasy appearance made Tan Baiyu look at it with interest: "Miss An doesn't need to panic, the boat can't overturn, and Prince Zhao can't fall into the lake if he makes a lot of effort, so you just have to rest assured." ”

An Xinyue was hit by Tan Baiyu's words, and her face turned red suddenly, and she lowered her head shyly, only feeling embarrassed.

As she spoke, Xun Xuan had already played the piano by herself, and the sound of the strings was accompanied by the flow of the lake, like the flowing water of the mountains, which rose and fell with each other, giving people a sense of calm and indifference.

An Xinyue listened to this music, and unconsciously relaxed when she listened to it, in the past, she heard a lot of An Xuehan's piano sound, An Xuehan's piano skills are also top-notch in Beijing, but it always looks contrived, it seems gorgeous but it is empty.

Xun Zhi's piano sound is different, it sounds quiet, but between the strings, it seems that the hidden waves can be perceived, and the emotion that is absent is the most intoxicating, just this point, An Xuehan is already a little inferior.
