Chapter 145: Two women compete for a beautiful meal

Just when Yao Ruoyu and Li Qingzhao were talking, Lu Chenghuan had already led a group of people to Chen Qiaojun and the others as if they were fighting.

After the two parties stood still, they were quiet for a few breaths, and then Chen Qiaojun bowed and said with a smile: "City Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"Lord Chen Cheng is polite, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss Cheng Huan very much!" Lu Chenghuan rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled, and stepped forward to hold Chen Qiaojun's arm affectionately, with a posture of swimming together.

Chen Qiaojun did not feel any discomfort at Lu Chenghuan's sudden affectionate behavior, and also held Lu Chenghuan's hand very affectionately, and said with a smile: "I haven't been to Jiaxing for a long time, and the changes in the city are very different from a few months ago!"

Lu Chenghuan likes to be in the limelight, he is the kind of person who dares to open a dyeing workshop when he gives a little color, and when he saw Chen Qiaojun's praise as a rival, he directly laughed and said: "Haha! It's not all about the fame of the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, but in a few days, the guests in the city gathered, and it was very lively!"

"Yes, the first beauty in Jiangnan is indeed famous," smiled gently, Chen Qiaojun's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and said softly, "It's a pity, a few months ago I sent someone to invite her to Ningbo to hold a poetry meeting, I remember that she had already agreed, but somehow came to your Jiaxing, alas, it was missed in vain!"

Yao Ruoyu heard it from afar, and almost didn't laugh out loud, this Chen Qiaojun seems to be gentle as water, but in fact he is hiding a needle in the cotton, and what he said just now is obviously accusing Lu Chenghuan of cutting off his beard halfway, and bringing the first beauty in Jiangnan who was supposed to go to Ningbo to Jiaxing.

Of course, Lu Chenghuan also heard the meaning, and immediately sneered, and smiled casually: "My Jiaxing South Lake has beautiful scenery and elegant bearing, if I want to hold a poetry competition, it is naturally more suitable here." ”

"Oh, really?" smiled, Chen Qiaojun said lightly, "I Ningbo is majestic, there is a vast ocean, it's better than a certain extravagant literary acid, right?"

The fox's eyes widened, and Lu Chenghuan sneered: "The sea is majestic, but it is suitable for reckless men to fight, only Nanhu is so beautiful and graceful, it is suitable for writing poems and lyrics, singing silk and bamboo." ”

Lu Chenghuan has always acted in a fiery manner, full of aura, although Chen Qiaojun seems to be much weaker, but it is a hidden needle, it seems to be weak, but in fact, the edge is hidden, the two daughters communicate for only a moment, and the taste is already full.

The surrounding people naturally found out about this, but the two city lords quarreled, of course they didn't dare to interject, and the two daughters would argue every time they met, and after a long time, everyone simply watched it as a drama, and there was no intention of dissuasion at all.

Yao Ruoyu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that although Lu Chenghuan and Chen Qiaojun were both wearing fox fur coats, they were red and basketed, just like a white fox and a blue fox, and with the different styles of the two girls, it made him inexplicably have a pleasing feeling.

Just as Yao Ruoyu watched the two daughters arguing with great interest, the crowd suddenly stirred again, and then saw a young girl in a red fox fur coat walking out of the crowd and sighing: "Two sisters, why are you arguing again?"

"Zhang Yi, you came just in time!" Seeing the girl in red appear, Lu Chenghuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed her, and sneered, "Someone failed to invite the first beauty in Jiangnan, and he is envious and jealous in his heart, please tell her, don't be too red." ”

Chen Qiaojun smiled softly when he heard this: "Interesting, interesting, some people obviously intercept such a thief-like behavior halfway, but they are still proud, alas, it is really ridiculous, ridiculous." ”

The woman in red named Zhang Yi saw that Lu Chenghuan was about to turn around and refute, so she hurriedly stopped her, and then she grabbed the second daughter and whispered, finally stopping this farce.

"That's Zhang Yi, the daughter of the city lord of Shaoxing. Without waiting for Yao Ruoyu to look at him, Li Qingzhao had already introduced it with a smile.

Seeing Li Qingzhao introduce himself for the fourth time, Yao Ruoyu touched his nose a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I thought it was another city lord." ”

"Do you think the city lord is so good?" couldn't help but glance at him, Li Qingzhao chuckled, "Besides, Cheng Huan and Qiaojun are both talented women who have been famous all over the world since they were young, and they have excellent governance experience, so they can be so young and become the city lord without reaching the Five Realms." ”

Such a gentle woman suddenly made such a roll of eyes, but Yao Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "In this way, aren't you able to be the head of the civil and political affairs of a province?"

"Aren't you making fun of me?" Li Qingzhao pursed his lips slightly and said with a smile, "Although I am a little complacent in poetry, I don't have half of my confidence in internal affairs, let alone the chief of civil affairs, even if I am the chief bookkeeper, I don't dare to be a little greedy." ”

"This is modest, right?" Yao Ruoyu shrugged and smiled, "She is the first talented woman in the ages, how can she be so humble? You must know that excessive modesty is pride!"

"It's not modest, it's just a fact, and," with a wry smile on his face, he stretched out his hand towards Yao Ruoyu, Li Qingzhao sighed, "Can you ask Gongzi not to mention the first talented woman in the ages, if it is spread out, I am afraid that the world will laugh at me Li Qingzhao does not know how thick the sky is." ”

I wanted to say a few more words, but seeing the bitterness in Li Qingzhao's eyes, Yao Ruoyu consciously put away his laughter and said, "It's Yao who is too much, and I ask Miss Li not to be angry." ”

Shaking his head, Li Qingzhao said softly: "It's not enough to be angry, the son's speech is quite interesting, and his style is very different from my Great Song people, could it be that he is from another country?"

Seeing Li Qingzhao testing his origins, Yao Ruoyu smiled helplessly, hugged his fists and said: "Yao is indeed a native of Jiaxing, but he moved to Chongqing with his parents since he was a child, and he only came back yesterday. ”

"Chongqing?" Li Qingzhao's apricot eyes lit up slightly, and he said curiously, "Did that son ever know about the Dawen city-state?"

"Naturally, I know that the things that shocked China will not be known. The corners of Yao Ruoyu's lips twitched slightly, and he replied a little smugly.

After a little hesitation, Li Qingzhao said in a low voice: "Dare to ask, where the promotion of officials is really only based on talent, there is no difference between men and women?"

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu's eyes were stunned, Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly and explained: "Originally, the matter of Hezhou was just a traitor to us, but I didn't expect that soon after the news of the city-state forming two governments and five departments, several of the high-level officials were still women, so I and other scholars talked a lot about it. ”

"Oh, can you tell me about it?" Yao Ruoyu suddenly became interested and asked with a smile.

Most people think it's fantastical, and they think that the king of Hezhou is nepotistic, lustful and obscene, and those women must have had an affair with him, so they can serve as executives. With a slightly red face, Li Qingzhao replied a little shyly.

Hearing this, Yao Ruoyu's face suddenly became strange, now there are only Xu Xuanrong, Wu Xue and Hou Jingru who are high-ranking officials in the two mansions and five departments, Xu Xuanrong and Hou Jingru don't mention it first, if they dare to have any strange thoughts about Wu Xue, they are afraid that Song Kai will secretly poison himself.

Thinking of this, Yao Ruoyu habitually wanted to take off his glasses, but found that the glasses had been left in the inn before going out, so he could only touch his nose, and then laughed: "Then Miss Li, what do you think?"

Shaking his head, Li Qingzhao said softly: "I haven't been there in person, so I can't tell what it is, but the little girl has a few friends in Chongqing, and they wrote to me a few days ago, saying that Xu Xuanrong, the minister of the city-state, is a rare talent, and they admire it and want to go to the city-state." ”

Yao Ruoyu thought about it for a while, and said with a cheeky smile: "I heard that Corporal Wang Lixian of Hezhou is generous and benevolent, if they go to defect, as long as their talent is good, they will definitely be able to get a good position." ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu praising the king of Hezhou so much, Li Qingzhao's eyes suddenly appeared a little different, and he smiled: "Speaking of which, that king of Hezhou seems to have the same surname as his son?"

Seeing the suspicion in Li Qingzhao's eyes, Yao Ruoyu knew that the other party was suspicious, so he immediately smiled and said: "Yes! It's a pity that I was born in Jiaxing, if I were in Chongqing, maybe I could still have a relationship with him, but I could also take the opportunity to go over and take refuge." ”

Shaking his head slightly, Li Qingzhao said softly: "Although the blood relatives are not weak, but they still need to rely on their own skills to act. ”

Yao Ruoyu laughed, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the girl's praise! I hope what the girl said can come true." ”

Just when the two were talking and laughing, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and just when Yao Ruoyu thought that someone else was there, everyone suddenly walked towards the Yanyu Building.

Li Qingzhao understood when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Presumably the first beauty in Jiangnan is about to appear." ”

"Oh?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Then you have to hurry over and take a look." ”

Seeing that his face was full of anticipation, Li Qingzhao felt a slight sour heart, and said with a smile: "Is the son so accidental?"

Yao Ruoyu didn't notice the strange color on Li Qingzhao's face, and said with a smile: "It's human nature to be lustful, just like I said, don't women also like handsome men?

Without waiting for Li Qingzhao to answer, Yao Ruoyu had already waved his hand and signaled to go first, and then said with a smile as he walked: "But hobbies are hobbies, whether you will marry home is another matter, after all, you are good-looking and can't be eaten, you still need to be as talented as you, girl!"

Later generations are not as taboo as they are now, and Yao Ruoyu's words just now have no special meaning, they are purely ridiculing, but where has Li Qingzhao heard such explicit words, his face suddenly flushed, and he couldn't speak shyly.

While speaking, the two had followed the flow of people back to the Yanyu Building, Yao Ruoyu looked left and right, and saw that Song Kai, Jiang Siyu and Freezing Diandian were still sitting in the original place, but they were all poking their heads to look at the staircase, obviously looking forward to the appearance of the first beauty in Jiangnan.

At this time, the Yanyu Building was already overcrowded, whether it was a literati or a wealthy businessman, they all stayed in the lobby under the staircase, looking forward to the so-called first beauty in Jiangnan going downstairs.
