"I heard that the Fan family was down, and that Lord Fan heard that it was corrupt and bribed along with the Lizhou Assassin History, and His Majesty knew about it and was deposed."

"If you want me to say, these corrupt officials who loot the people's fat and ointment are better to be beheaded directly, leaving a scourge to the world in vain!"

"Alas, don't talk nonsense, this Fan family is the mother family of the prince and queen of the dynasty, how can you say that you will be killed, but in the future, you will probably lose your sacred heart. It would be great if there were a few more good officials like Lord Fu in the imperial court! ”

"I heard that this time it was not only Master Fu, but also Miss Tang Er who made great contributions, and I heard that Miss Tang Er helped Master Fu draw drawings for digging canals, and also designed a lot of tools for digging canals."

The streets and alleys are discussing the loss of power of the Fan family, but it is really not a taste in Fan Jingqiao's ears.

Before she knew it, she had already walked to the Tang Mansion, and Fan Jingqiao suddenly remembered that she had a gambling contract with Tang Siru before.

The corners of Fan Jingqiao's mouth hooked, if this bet was won, the reputation of this Second Miss Tang would naturally be bad for a while, and the decline of the Fan family would not be so popular. What's more, the Fan family has fallen to such a point, and there is no credit for Tang Siru.

She asked her personal maid to knock on the door to report, and Tang Siru came out after a while.

When Tang Siru heard someone report, he suddenly remembered that there was a gambling contract between himself and Fan Jingqiao. It's just that at this time, Fan Jingqiao suddenly mentioned this gambling contract, which is too much of a coincidence.

Tang Siru touched her chin, and felt that Fan Jingqiao must have felt that the decline of the Fan family had her own credit, and she must have come to slap her in the face.

The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, Tang Siru happily went out to meet the battle, and saw what tricks Fan Jingqiao was going to play.

Fan Jingqiao came this time, wearing the best outfit in the rest of her clothes, and she still looked like a young lady.

"This is not Miss Fan, what's the matter, are you going to practice the gambling contract today?" Tang Siru said with a smile.

Fan Jingqiao raised her chin slightly, so that her momentum looked stronger, "Yes, you made a bet with me at the beginning, saying that the time, place and process are all determined by me, do you want to regret it?" ”

"How so? Could it be that Miss Fan, you have already thought about the content of the competition? Tang Siru looked at her quietly.

"Of course I've already thought about it, the time is just three days later, on the third floor of Feiluan Building, we will try our painting skills, and the content will naturally not be able to tell you now, lest you cheat in advance." Fan Jingqiao said proudly.

Cheat...... Hehe...... You're the one who cheats, right?

Tang Siru rolled her eyes silently, "Cheating won't be, I just hope that Miss Fan won't plagiarize other people's paintings as her own." ”

"You! Hmph, when the time comes, you will know who copied who copied that "Outside the Building". Fan Jingqiao is confident that Tang Siru is a muddy straw bag, and there must be someone behind her to help her paint, otherwise she will definitely not be able to draw it on her own, as long as she shows it on the spot, if Miss Tang Er is a painting wizard, she will naturally be self-defeating.

Fan Jingqiao's contempt for Tang Siru was not too obvious, and Tang Siru was not angry, but smiled lightly: "Okay, when the time comes, let everyone know who is the one with real materials." ”

But Fan Jingqiao's original self-confidence was completely shattered by a piece of news.

"You...... Are you serious? Those paintings were all painted by Tang Siru alone? Fan Jingqiao's face turned pale.

"Yes, Miss, when Miss Tang Er was painting, she was the only one in the room, there were absolutely no outsiders, and she would sometimes draw to show us, her painting skills were indeed true." It was a maid from the Tang Mansion who spoke.

Fan Jingqiao used silver money to buy off the maids of the Tang Mansion, wanting to confirm whether there was a master behind Tang Siru, but now that she knew that those paintings were indeed painted by Tang Siru, she began to worry about the competition in three days.

Fan Jingqiao's face was ugly, "I know, I'll think of some way, next time I have something to call you, you must not be discovered by Tang Siru." ”

The maid hurriedly bowed her head and said, "The slave will definitely be careful." ”

Fan Jing thought about it, if Tang Siru was indeed excellent in painting, then he would have no chance of winning.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth hooked, but if Tang Siru didn't participate in the competition three days later because of illness, wouldn't it be said that she was afraid of herself, and she didn't dare to be embarrassed at all.

Fan Jingqiao had a plan and immediately sent the little maid next to her to buy croton.

"Miss, I bought it back." The maid mysteriously took out a bag of things and handed it to Fan Jingqiao.

"Well done!" Fan Jingqiao put it in her arms and sent someone to call the Tang Mansion maid she had bought.

Fan Jingqiao handed the bag of crotons to the maid of the Tang Mansion, "Remember, a day later, put this into Miss Tang's meal." Fan Jingqiao was proud in her heart, this whole bag of croton did not make it difficult for Tang Siru to move an inch, let alone go to Feiluan Tower to participate in the competition.

"Yes, miss." When the maid saw the money, she accepted Fan Jingqiao's silver money, so she naturally wanted to do things sincerely.

A day later.

She had already crushed the croton into powder and sneaked into the small kitchen of the Tang Mansion.

"Aunt Sun, which is Miss Tang Er's refreshments today?" The ladies of the Tang Mansion have refreshments every afternoon, usually some red bean milk cakes, lotus cakes, white fungus longan soup and other delicate food.

"Oh, that's the wolfberry black chicken soup in the steamer over there." Aunt Sun was busy chopping vegetables, pointing at her hand.

The maid bowed her head and said nothing, silently opened the steamer, and poured a packet of croton flour into it.

After a while, the maid beside Tang Siru came to fetch it.

She carefully took the wolfberry black chicken soup, entered Tang Siru's house, and whispered to persuade: "Second Miss, don't be in a hurry to work first, eat something first." ”

Tang Siru is practicing painting with a brush, although she is good at painting, but she is not used to using ancient brushes, and many techniques cannot be used.

A day later, she was going to compete with Fan Jingqiao, and she didn't want to be slapped in the face.

The maid looked at her study and forgot to sleep and eat, and said worriedly: "Second Miss, if you eat something first and then paint, the chicken soup will be cold." ”

Tang Siru has a habit of never eating until he finishes painting, and God knows how devastating it is to get half of his painting dirty by food.

So she generously waved her hand, "Oh, you eat for me first, I'm not hungry anyway." ”

“…… Second Miss ...... It's not good," the maid swallowed, struggling.

"If you don't eat it, it'll be cold, I'll give Sancai that girl!" Tang Siru winked at her and said.

"Then I...... I really ate it......" The maid finally did not resist the temptation and drank a bowl of chicken soup.

"Gollum ......"

After a while, the maid felt abdominal pain and ran out with a bitter face.

"I said bell, you've run four times!" Tang Siru looked at the maid who kept running the toilet and fell into deep thought.
