Chapter 121
The scene was a little awkward for a moment, and Lu Ruohan became more and more angry. What does this good friend who always targeted her mean?
Lu Ruohan held Chu Junlan's hand and patted comfortably, and said with a smile: "It seems that Sister Rulan is really satisfied with her newlyweds. Today, she heard that Sister Rulan has been praising Mr. Su Si." She kept showing off and never stopped, regardless of whether others were bored.
Although Lu Ruohan was born into a noble family, her father, Duke Dingguo, held military power, and his status in the court was naturally not comparable to these distant clans who were far away from the center of power.
Xiao Rulan's biological father is already among the higher ranks among the clans present today. He only has the title of a general of the auxiliary country. Xiao Rulan has no title, not like Lu Ruhan, but she is still a princess Shengping.
Seeing that Lu Ruohan actually spoke for Chu Junlan, the other women closed their mouths and smiled, and they all stopped their expressions.
Xiao Rulan didn't care and just laughed: "The little doctor fairy is really amazing. Even Princess Shengping can make friends."
"Yes, Ruohan and I became confidants as soon as we saw each other, so this person is also very mysterious," Chu Junlan shook the fan, his temples were flying. "Some people feel happy when they see it, but some people feel displeased when they hear the sound."
"You!" Xiao Rulan suppressed her anger and snorted coldly, "Yes, some people are also lucky, but they are just a daughter from a fifth-rank official. If they rely on their skills, they may not be able to attend such a banquet in their entire lives, but some people can enter the house and get into our circle by marrying a fool. Tsk, they have really paid a lot to climb up the branches."
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and giggled.
This was too harsh. Some people had quietly stood up to avoid the dispute, while others laughed in agreement.
Sun Ming'er looked around and to prevent the atmosphere from becoming stiffer, she quickly changed the subject and pointed her finger at a distance downstairs.
"Look, I just said that Rulan's husband is a handsome man, and that is not wearing red clothes, so you can see."
Several women stood up curiously and looked at the railing.
Chu Junlan was also curious about the sacred place of the exchange, and could make Xiao Rulan blow out a flower, so he walked side by side with Bian Ruohan to the fence to see.
Just in a clearing space under the attic, several young men in gorgeous clothes gathered together. Some of them were already tall and some were half-dressed in their hair.
But to be honest, among the group, the most outstanding one was not the young man in red, but Xiao Xu, who was wearing a brocade robe with a crescent white dark embroidered cloud-patterned arrow sleeves, and his long black hair was half covered with a hairband of the same color.
All the girls were quiet, and everyone seemed to have never imagined that such an extremely handsome young man would appear here.
Someone who didn't know asked in a low voice: "Who is that?"
"I don't know, Prince Pingkang shouldn't invite outsiders to come today, right?"
"I don't know, is it the son of a noble family?"
...
Lu Ruohan held Chu Junlan's hand and spoke up: "Don't you recognize it? That's the prince. In the past, the prince was ill and rarely participated in such banquets. However, now with Junlan, a little doctor, his illness has been cured a lot."
The girls smacked their tongues.
So such a handsome and outstanding boy is actually that fool!
The distance between the upper floor is not far from the plain, and the dialogue can be heard clearly. In fact, the dispute between the female family members upstairs has just reached the ears of the male guests, especially Xiao Rulan's words, "Walk into our circle by marrying a fool", were extremely harsh, and everyone downstairs could hear it clearly.
Therefore, the words of the male guests downstairs were also heard from the ears of everyone upstairs.
Prince Pingkang laughed so much that he was gloating. He fiddled with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "It's better for us to sit withered and sit back and forth, why not let's do something meaningful, review the Four Books and Five Classics, or do the eight-legged essays?"
Several clan relatives are all invincible.
The son-in-law of Xiao Rulan's family, Mr. Su Si, looked at Xiao Xu with his hands behind his back and said, "This proposal is elegant, but not everyone can play. If you don't want to participate, you can just not participate." As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Xu arrogantly.
Xiao Xu looked at Mr. Su with a blank expression, tilted his head, and said in a ten-year-old tone that was unyielding: "Yes, no one wants to participate."
"Hey!" Prince Pingkang slapped the folding fan and laughed, "Okay! It's fun now! It's rare to see Prince Gong be so domineering. Why, can you do the Four Books and Five Classics? You can do the Eight-Legend Times?"
"Stop teasing, have you known all the words "he"? Hahaha!"
...
The crowd laughed into a group of laughter.
The women upstairs all laughed, and those led by Xiao Rulan were all looking at Chu Junlan with complex eyes.
Xiao Xu was secretly angry. Chu Junlan was ridiculed because of him. How could he give up at this time?
"The format of the eight-legged essay is fixed, and each sentence has strict requirements. It is easy to write one or two wonderful words, but it is not easy to think of the whole article..." Next, Xiao Xu said without expression how to solve the topic and write the eight-legged essay.
The scene was silent.
Everyone's expressions were a bit cracked. What about the fool who had agreed to be? Why are fools more familiar with the eight-legged essays than them?
These nobles do not need to take the imperial examinations. They can rely on their ancestors to be carefree and have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives. Therefore, if they have a good academic performance, there are really few.
Prince Pingkang just mentioned this deliberately just to make fun of Xiao Xu, but who knew that the slap in the face came so quickly.
Xiao Xu looked at Mr. Su Si: "Come and compare it to Shiwen?"
The fourth young master Su smiled a little stiff: "Forget it, if you really seriously compare it, I would also be suspected of bullying the small ones." He was not good at this at all!
Seeing that Mr. Su had avoided fighting, Xiao Rulan was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly and smashed the railing on the second floor.
Chu Junlan thought that Xiao Xu's serious appearance as annoying child was too interesting, and he couldn't help but laugh "Puchier".
The person who "laughs" is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Xiao Rulan almost fainted and said loudly: "That's right, compared to you, Shiwen, even if you win, it's not glorious. It's better to compare with some people. It's said that fools have a thick skin and thick flesh, and they are not as good as you compete in martial arts."
As the male guests were talking, the voice of the female family suddenly came. Everyone followed the sound and saw a row of young women standing next to the railing on the second floor of the attic. Chu Junlan, dressed in light green, was the most conspicuous among them.
When Xiao Xu saw Chu Junlan, he couldn't help but smile with his lips. Suddenly, he felt that he was out of control and wanted to change back to his original expression, so he shouted: "Sister, you are here."
Chu Junlan saw Xiao Xu's rich expression changes in his eyes and smiled even more happily: "Yes, the prince should not compete with them in martial arts. What if they are broken, what should they do if they go to your house to seek compensation from your father and mother?"
Xiao Xu almost laughed and said seriously: "Okay, then I won't hit them."
Everyone:...
Is it really good to be a fool so arrogant?
Mr. Su felt that his face was lost and said in a deep voice: "I am also afraid that martial arts competition will hurt you. A gentleman's six arts should be better than a horse riding and shooting."
Xiao Xu turned to look at him, and snorted coldly as he imitated his arrogant look: "Just compete. Don't cry if you lose!"
