134 Alternative Tests (4)

If Gu Yan didn't say it, Lord Zhao couldn't force her to say it, so he had to retreat helplessly.

Sun Ying also knew that it was getting late, and the key was that Gu Yan was impatient, so she quickly arranged the next game.

During the tea competition, Sun Ying asked someone to move the wine storage in the Wu'an Hou Mansion wine cellar and ordered people to buy a few types on the street. When he put the lined wine glasses on the table, Gu Yan had already started drinking the first type.

The competition with her was Chang Fengnian, the Minister of History. This person had only one hobby of drinking. Because he was old and had a gray beard, he was nicknamed the "Immortal Wine" by his colleagues.

Shangshu Chang slowly walked to the table step by step, picked up the first wine glass and smelled it. He didn't drink it, wrote the answer on the paper, and then went to serve the second cup.

Chang Shangshu didn't drink seven or eight glasses of wine. When the eighth cup came, he seemed to be interested. He took a sip, closed his eyes and felt it carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes and wrote down the answer.

"It's not that the old fairy man doesn't drink good wine. It seems that this guy has a temper with him."

"Dear Chang has collected a lot of good wine at home, but it's too stingy. Last time I went to his house for dinner, I didn't drink a bite. When I asked him for a drink, he drove me out."

"It would be nice to just drive it out for you. He and I almost broke up."

"I have drunk the good wine he has collected, but I have never drunk the 'Drunk Immortal' he brewed, which is quite regretful!"

"Swish, you really dare to think about it. Do you dare to think about Lord Chang's immortal Wengzui? He didn't beat you and ran around the streets even if you gave you face, only that little ancestor could get out of him."

The person who spoke was intently speaking, and several people looked at Luo Rongxuan, who was obsessed with the appearance of being in the stands. He felt a little unpleasant.

This ancestor looked like this, wouldn't he be interested in Gu Yan? If he succeeded and married him to become the princess, then...

One is a living ancestor and the other is not abide by the etiquette and law. The two of them come together, and the capital city will not make them fuss!

The adults looked at each other and stopped talking. They turned their eyeliners back to the competition venue, but their eyes glanced at Luo Rongxuan from time to time. Until Gu Yan finished the competition, Luo Rongxuan did not take back his eyes. The few people sighed inwardly, "It's going to be bad."

Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and waited for the old fairy to finish writing. She turned the wheelchair to him and nodded slightly.

"Adults love drinking?"

Shangshu Chang smiled slightly, "Yes, the old man has only this one in his life. He has countless wines at home. Do you want to go home with the old man to have a drink?"

Shangshu Chang shocked the audience as soon as he said this. Unexpectedly, Shangshu Chang, the most stingy in the court, actually invited Gu Yan to his house for a drink. Not to mention the civil and military affairs of the court, he had never invited him even to the emperor!

Gu Yan waved his hand, "I'm afraid the adults are mostly sake. Only Gu Yan likes strong wine the most, and I'm afraid he can't drink with the adults. However, Gu Yan can communicate with the adults about how to drink, especially how to drink strong wine."

"Oh? I'm drinking and saying?"

"Of course, the spirit is like an arrogant dragon. If you drink it wrong, it will hurt you."

Gu Yan felt relieved when she saw that Shangshu Chang showed interest.

She had no choice but to come here. She had long known from the expression of Chang Shangshu's drinking, and she could taste all the thirty kinds of wine on the table, let alone an old alcoholic. If she wanted to win this game, she could only win by surprise. The best way was to discuss with him what would arouse his interest.

When she was tasting, she was thinking about how to arouse his interest. She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a TV series she watched in her previous life. There was a set of words about how to taste wine, which was just right to deal with him.

Sure enough, Shangshu Chang showed his interest and asked anxiously: "Tell me, how to drink?"

Gu Yan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her eyebrows, waved her hand, and poured two glasses of strong wine behind her.

Gu Yan gently raised his right hand, his thumb and index finger were opposite each other, leaving a circle the size of a wine glass in the middle, which was in the shape of an orchid finger. "The orchid finger, because wine is more fragrant than flowers, hold the cup like a twisted flower."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, she gently took the glass of wine in front of her and held it in front of the two of them.

"A full cup is a tribute, and not overflowing is a respect, so I raise my glass lightly."

Gu Yan smiled and glanced at Shangshu Chang. Seeing that he was thinking, he felt happy and continued: "First literature and then martial arts, first rituals and then military forces, which is called a gentleman."

Shangshu Chang stared at Gu Yan blankly and waited for her to say the next sentence.

Gu Yan did not disappoint him, and then said, "Go deep into the throat."

Gu Yan raised her head and poured all the wine from the wine glass into her mouth. She closed her eyes and felt the mellow fragrance of the wine. Then she exhaled and opened her eyes to look at Shangshu Chang and said, "Stretch your eyebrows, and the smell of wine rushes like a crazi wave, sweeping away the future and relieves the worries."

After saying that, Gu Yan placed the wine glass heavily on the table and made a "default" sound, "Throwing the glass again means that it will drink it all, and it will be refreshing if you don't flow a drop!"

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he stared at Shangshu Chang without blinking. When he was imitating himself and poured the wine from his hand into his mouth, Gu Yan knew that she had won this game.

"Hahaha..., please feel free. I have never drunk such a pleasant wine. You are right. The wine must be drunk like this to taste. Yan Yatou, I am convinced. I will give in this battle."

When Gu Yan heard that Shangshu Chang had admitted defeat, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was not revealed, so he nodded slightly, "It was Gu Yan who took the opportunity. If the old man does not abandon him, he can go to me to drink at any time. I have a recipe for a wine and is about to brew it. If the old man is interested, he can come and taste it at that time."

"Okay, okay, that's right, I'm waiting for my friend's drink, I hope you don't be stingy."

"Of course, the old man drinks as much as he wants, and Gu Yan will never be stingy."

"Um!"

The two of them ignored the eyes of others and talked about strangers to their confidants in life in a few words. One was named Xiaoyou, who obviously regarded Gu Yan as a close junior, and the other called the old man, which recognized Shangshu Chang. The two of them would come and go often in the future.

Everyone was stunned. A good competition made the two of them change the meaning. The fight was overturned and instead made them become friends and friends, which was really surprising.

In the second round, Shangshu Chang gave in. Even if the old men were unhappy, they had to endure it because they also realized that Gu Yan really knew much more than Shangshu Chang. If they were really serious, they would definitely be the ones who were embarrassed.

Fortunately, there is another game. As long as they win the game with the most confidence, Gu Yan will lose today.

Everyone had no choice but to go on the next game, and they called the young master from the Deyang Hou Mansion from the stands and asked him to fight.

The Deyang Hou Mansion is the most chaotic family in the capital. Since the old Hou’s generation, he has been favoring his concubines and destroying his wife. After his legitimate wife was angry, she married a wife who was more than 30 years younger than him. Later, she was poisoned and poisoned by one of his concubines. Later, no one dared to marry into the Deyang Hou Mansion, so the old Hou did not marry him.

The old Deyang Hou was surnamed Tao, and had sixteen daughters and thirteen sons. There were only two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter, and the others were all born into illegitimate children. Among them, the eldest was born of the legitimate wife. She was afraid that the grandson would be killed, so she was taken back by the wife of Deyang Hou to raise her family after his death. After his stepmother came in, she did not come back until she was named the prince.

But he was not lucky. After a few days of returning home, one of the concubines of the old Deyang Hou was attracted by him. After falling in love with him, he could not seduce him several times. In the end, the concubine falsely accused him of rape of the concubine. He was touched by the old Deyang Hou, but was beaten to death and was punished to kneel to the ancestral hall. He had a high fever that night and disappeared within three days.

Another legitimate son ranked sixth and was born into a second wife. Because his family was not strong, he survived all by the Deyang Hou Mansion. After his daughter was gone, he was not taken back. He was all thanks to the concubines in the backyard of the Deyang Hou, and raised him into a playboy, comparable to Prince An.

The old Deyang Hou was not allowed to separate the family before he left. All the twelve sons lived together, each of which was a bastard who was not divided. The backyard was even more chaotic. After the Deyang Hou inherited the title, he liked colors even more. There were more women in the backyard than the servants at home, and even the maids and mothers in the Hou Mansion were not spared. He had all the colors, and he gave birth to more children than the old Deyang Hou.

There are too many sons in the family and countless concubines. In addition, the Deyang Hou Mansion is not the one who is responsible for childbirth, and each spends more money than the other. Therefore, the Deyang Hou Mansion is getting poorer and poorer. From the previous generation, they sold their daughters, and the higher the price will be.

After selling more than ten sisters, Deyang Hou also realized that women had no talent and appearance and could not sell at a price. Therefore, he spent a lot of money to hire teachers to teach them various skills at home, teach them to dress and dress. When they were twelve or thirteen, they taught them how to serve men. When they learned how to take out, they all bought them at a price. Of course, few daughters in Deyang Hou Mansion had good endings. They either became the second wife of the seventies and eighties or were taken into the backyard as concubines. Only the only legitimate daughter born by the second wife of Deyang Hou was used to go to the Duke of Pu's Mansion to be a wife.

The youngest son of the Deyang Hou Mansion who competed with Gu Yan was the youngest son of the Deyang Hou. He has known to touch women since he was five years old. He is ignorant and can never speak. He is drunk and dreaming every day. His reputation is worse than Luo Rongxuan. However, he does not have Luo Rongxuan's ability to play, nor his confidence, nor his ruthlessness. Therefore, he is temporarily ranked second in the capital's playboy.

Tao Jiaming took a folding fan and narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Yan's chest with a slim voice. He smashed his mouth from time to time, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands, walked to the center of the field in one sway, and smiled at Gu Yan with his hands in a pleasing way.

"This young master's surname is Tao, he is the tenth young master of Deyang Hou Mansion. He has met the lord of Huairou County."

Gu Yan ignored him and stared at the lust on the table. After confirming that the thing in front of her was indeed what she thought, she showed a strange expression on her face.

Is this trying to give away money? Is there money but no place to spend it? And is there such a good thing?

Haha, it's interesting, the opportunity is rare, and it seems a bit sorry for me if I don't win more, but this person really hates him and really wants to dig out his eyes. She doesn't want to bet with him.

Gu Yan frowned, twisted her fingers, and resisted the urge to take action and retracted it into her sleeve.

Forget it, she has aroused public anger. It is difficult to deal with him again at this time, so she can only let him go first.

Gu Yan ignored him and came to the table to look at the lust in front of her. Suddenly, she thought that she had exposed gambling skills for the first time in Liucheng, so she simply didn't gamble with him. She threw the six lusts on the table in one hand and started shaking.

Luo Rongxuan in the distance immediately saw this scene and stared at Gu Yan with good eyes. He muttered while watching, "It's amazing again. He used to shake for a long time, but now he can shake the number she wants with just a few shaking times. It seems that I can't compare to her if I practice for another two years."

Prince An glanced at him with a side face, "What are you muttering?"

Luo Rongxuan sat lazily in the chair and replied, "No."

He only said half of Gu Yan's affairs, and he didn't say anything about Gu Yan's ability to gambling. He didn't want Gu Yan to let his father take a look, otherwise he would have surpassed his father!

Gu Yan's hand speed was very fast, Sun Ying was dazzled when she stood aside, and even Young Master Tao was confused. Her head was shaking left and right with the color cup in Gu Yan's hand, and she went to the next time before she could fully check the count.

Seeing Gu Yan's performance, everyone present knew that they were finished this time and lost completely. Gu Yan easily earned 300,000 taels, which was faster than robbing money.

Not long after, Gu Yan put down the lust and didn't even look at Mr. Tao. She took the silver note from Sun Ying with a calm expression and asked Mo Xiang to push her back to the stands.

"Your Majesty, I heard from my father that there will be floods in Yongzhou this year and the people are displaced. Let's donate the 300,000 taels of silver to the people of Yongzhou."

After saying that, Gu Yan respectfully held the 300,000 taels of silver notes in front of Emperor Wen of Wei, which made Emperor Wen of Wei very happy.

"Girl Yan, you are really good. You are beautiful, knowledgeable, open-minded, caring for the people, and thinking clearly, smart and wise. You don't have the arrogance, extravagance and debauchery of aristocratic families, nor the delicate and artificiality of your daughter's family. You can give up 300,000 taels of silver to help the people, which means that you are not only concerned about the life and death of the people, but also the future of the Great Wei. I am very satisfied with everything you have done today. Sun Ying."

"The slave is here."

"I passed the imperial edict, Gu Yan, the head of Huairou County, was honest and gentle, smart and upright, broad-minded, beautiful and wise, caring about the suffering of the people, caring about the major affairs of the country, and being a model for women of the world. He made an exception and was named Princess Huairou, and Yongzhou was his fief. Huairou County was transferred from Pingzhou to the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and I was honored."

Emperor Wen of Wei shocked the audience, and they looked up at Emperor Wen of Wei and Gu Yan in a wheelchair in front of him, feeling complicated inside.

After returning to Beijing for half a month, Gu Yan jumped from the county lord to the princess. She was promoted too quickly, right? She was so lucky that she actually caught the emperor's eyes as soon as she came back. She spent 300,000 taels she won and was promoted to the princess. She was so lucky!

You should know that since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, no daughter of a minister has been named princess. Even the daughter of a prince is only a county lord, and only the prince's daughter will be named princess. Moreover, she is not only the daughter of a minister, but also a minister who makes shocking remarks and subverts people's perception.

What does Gu Yan say about being able to sit in this seat? It means that the emperor admires her very much and likes her very much.

A man likes a woman, but he wants to marry her or take her as a concubine. Does the emperor like her? He wants to wait for her and take her into the palace?
