Chapter 203: Friendship with Fellow Villagers
Xie Li was a little worried on the side, and before she could open her mouth to ask her, she was glared at fiercely, "Shut up!"
Xie Li didn't dare to speak, and only quietly took two steps forward, blocking in front of Xie Shuhua.
Xie Shuhua secretly adjusted carefully, and finally let herself slowly recover.
How many people present knew that she originally wanted to marry the third prince, but at this time, she happened to meet the third prince and Zhou Yuan together.
If people see her like this, they don't know what kind of rumors will come out when they look back.
When the time comes, not to mention that the third prince will look down on her, the aristocratic circle in the capital will look down on her, I am afraid that Xie Yuncang will find her a husband tomorrow and announce to the public that he has set her a marriage.
She had to keep her mind steady, and she had to do her best to show her calmness.
After waiting for a while, her complexion had returned to normal.
Just wanted Xie Li to accompany her to the side, but Gao Ying walked over, "I heard that you are not very comfortable these days, so I am embarrassed to invite you, but now you are better?" You should also send me a message, let me go to the house to visit you."
Everyone knows that Gao Ying and Xie Shuhua had a close relationship during the period of the year, but on an occasion like today, she didn't call Xie Shuhua, Gao Ying was making up for herself. Z.br>
Xie Shuhua didn't want to get into trouble with her, if her business was done, there would be many things to rely on her in the future.
Therefore, he could only show an apologetic smile, "My brother is also out this time, and my mother is worried all day long, so I naturally can't go out."
"I see, I forgot, you have always been filial."
Gao Ying opened her mouth, and other people also came over to greet her, and Xie Shuhua felt a little like she was still the same Xie Shuhua as before.
It's just that when she says and laughs, there is always a trace of sadness in her eyebrows and eyes.
Inadvertently with a wrong eye, Xie Shuhua saw that the third prince was looking at herself, which made her heart skip a beat, but she pretended not to see it, but forced out tears in her eyes.
Then he turned his face and went back to talking to others as usual.
"Huh? Who is that man?"
Gao Ying's voice attracted the attention of the others, and they saw that she was standing next to the two noble girls, her eyes falling straight out of the window.
Everyone looked in the direction of her gaze, and it turned out to be a boat of young testers, and at a glance they knew that they were all participants in the test.
A group of people were arguing and shouting, talking about the topics that would be tested this time.
And among this group of young people, the young man sitting on the bow of the boat in a coarse cotton coat stood out a little.
Compared with the fanaticism of others, he seems to be a little too calm, and he seems to be in the crowd, but he has a sense of independence.
This is a matter of a person's temperament, looking at him sitting there, with a straight waist and a peaceful expression, coupled with his dusty face, it is a landscape painting.
Lin Ruoqian smiled and said: "I know this person, it is Xie Yuan of the Jiangxi Township Examination, I heard that he also got the guidance of Mr. Fang, and he is very famous in this examination, even my eldest uncle, I also think that this person is outstanding in learning, and he will be successful this time."
Inevitably, he said too much, and he didn't say more, in fact, many dark villages in the capital were betting on him to enter the top three this time.
Guy Yin has performed really well at several banquets hosted by the guild, and it is precisely because of this that although Chen Liu's background is not obvious, he quickly made a name for himself in the capital, attracting many people to make friends.
Even some ministers in the court have extended olive branches to him, and he is also very humble and low-key, only saying that the results of the examination have not yet come out, and he does not dare to go to the meeting at will, for fear of disappointing the adults.
Although it was a refusal, it was also a comfortable refusal, not to mention, he was not picky, but no one was close.
In the face of the candidates of the same class, he also treats everyone equally, and is very friendly and friendly to everyone, so his popularity is also good, which is why he has the current situation, even if a boatload of people is wearing silk brocade, he is in it, and no one looks at him.
Lin Ruoqian's words made this room
People became interested and crowded over to watch.
So someone said, "Look at what he wears, it's shabby, and it looks like a small place!"
It was a noble lady who spoke, she actually said the thoughts of many other people present, the people who can afford to take a boat to the lake at the moment are either rich or expensive, Chen Liu's body is really a little too eye-catching in the eyes of everyone.
Who knew that when Gao Ying heard this, she frowned and said, "How can you judge people by their clothes? You can't buy other people's talents, even if you spend all your money."
The noble girl knew that she had lost her words, so she could only smile awkwardly, "Sister Gao is right, but I am shallow."
Xie Shuhua lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile: "Then Chen Liu seems to know the fourth sister, right? You were talking to him last time?"
Xie Songhua rolled his eyes to the sky in his heart, this Xie Shuhua really wanted to dig a hole for himself all the time.
It's just that Xie Shuhua's pit is really a little funny, she never felt that the original owner lived in the countryside, she never felt that it was something unspeakable, and she had already generously admitted it at Gao Ying's banquet last time.
On the contrary, she took it out again and again, so that people could see through her narrow-mindedness.
Therefore, in the face of everyone's eyes, she nodded frankly and said: "That's right, this is because Chen Jieyuan is my former family from the same village, we have known each other since childhood, before the exam, he went to our house to meet my third uncle, and then I knew that he actually went to Beijing to catch the exam this year."
These words aroused the interest of many people, and they asked about Chen Liu's past.
Xie Songhua looked at this posture, Chen Liu estimated that he could really get a good ranking this time, and it was very likely that he would enter the officialdom in the future.
Therefore, he was extra careful when he spoke, and only picked up what he could say in his memory, most of which were words praising his talent and diligence.
The others were all not interested in hearing this, but Gao Ying looked very interested, as if she was really interested in Chen Liu's previous life.
Xie Songhua is a person who has lived for nearly 30 years, he has never eaten pork and has seen a pig run, and when he saw Gao Ying's appearance, he was suddenly shocked.
No matter how good Chen Liu is, in the end, he is indeed a poor person from a small place, and the so-called Qi Da is not a coincidence, and Gao Ying ......
It's really not a good match, if you want to get together, you will have to face the fate of being manipulated by the Gao family, or you will lose yourself in the sudden glitz.
There are many examples of phoenix men, and no one knows under what circumstances people will forget their original intentions.
Xie Songhua couldn't help but regret it in his heart, he knew that Fang Cai shouldn't praise it all the time.
So someone suggested, "It seems that the ship is full of this year's outstanding candidates, so you might as well invite them to come up and meet friends with poetry......
"Nonsense!" Before the man could finish speaking, the prince interrupted him, "We still have so many girls here waiting to be written, how can we show up in front of people?"
The man who proposed it immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
Xie Songhua paid attention to Gao Ying's reaction, and sure enough, a faint disappointment flashed in her eyes.
But in the end, it was a master on this occasion, and such disappointment was only fleeting, she immediately came to Xie Songhua's side, and poured her a cup of tea with a smile, "I only heard that they had a fellow villager friendship with their scholars, but I didn't expect the four girls to have it."
Xie Songhua was very uncomfortable with such a gesture of goodwill for no reason, but he still tried his best to keep smiling and exchanged a few words with her.
As soon as he put the teacup back in the tray, he noticed a strong gaze falling on him.
