Empress Chu

Other guards came to inquire with interest.

The guards who have been there said: "Anyone can enter, anyone can enter. Now there are more and more people. If you go late and you can't stand in the front, it's not fun to watch."

So the imperial guards beckoned to each other to go, but Xie Yanlai leaned against the wall and did not move.

"Aren't you going?" Others asked, "Aren't you the favorite to watch the excitement?"

The bustle seen in the restaurant before was noisy for a few days.

"It's too lively, I find it noisy." Xie Yanlai said lazily.

What, someone thought of something, and laughed: "Mr. Xie is still in the capital, Mr. Yanlai can't be happy."

The others also thought of it and laughed.

"That's right, since Third Young Master Xie came, Yan Lai didn't even leave the house."

"I don't drink alcohol anymore, and I don't go to brothels."

"I heard from your family that you were beaten and punished by the third son a while ago?"

"Third Young Master, keep yourselves clean, and those of you who are in charge of the family can only suffer along with it."

"But I don't know how to choose." A guard frowned melancholy, "I also want a brother like the third son, but I don't want to be restrained."

The others poohed, "You are dreaming." "Your family will not produce someone like the third son in several generations." "Don't worry about it."

Everyone encouraged Xie Yanlai again, "What are you afraid of? Let's go secretly. The third son doesn't know."

But no matter how everyone ridiculed, Xie Yanlai was unmoved, and insisted that she didn't like to watch the excitement, "A group of men and a woman - they are not women, and a girl competes, I don't see it."

The guards laughed: "I want to watch it because it is unprecedented. A group of men competed with a girl. If I missed this time, who knows when I will see it again."

So everyone cheered and went together, and when they were riding horses outside the palace gate, they looked back and saw the phoenix-eyed boy standing alone on the city wall.

"After all, you are not a serious son." A guard said softly, with a bit of sneer in his eyes, "I think the other sons of the Xie family can play whatever they want, and the third son beat and scolded as soon as they beat him, and they didn't cringe."

"Third Young Master is already lucky to recognize him as his brother." Another guard said, "Give him the face of Mr. Xie's family, and if he doesn't know what to do, it will be too muddy to support the wall."

A guard laughed and flicked his horsewhip: "This piece of mud can only be pasted on the wall."

The imperial guards swung their whips and urged the horses, shouting loudly, and the horses hooved forward lightly on the imperial street, and soon reached the bustling street, everyone retreated.

Those who can be guards and guard the imperial city are all descendants of aristocratic families, attracting countless envious eyes.

Although they also wear military robes, the military robes of Zhang Gu and others are incomparable with these imperial guards, and their facial expressions are even more incomparable.

That was an errand in the imperial city, Zhang Gu and the others watched these imperial guards gallop past with a bit of envy.

"I heard that Ah Jiu was originally a guard. I don't know if he was exempted from punishment." A postman said, "Is he also so heroic now? Unfortunately, I have never seen him."

A postman twitched his lips: "I can't recognize it even if I see it. Ah Jiu will definitely change her appearance in this suit."

The other postman nodded, with a somewhat reminiscing look on his face: "Ah Jiu looks good, even if he wears tattered clothes with us, he still looks very good-looking."

I don't know how to be more beautiful in Chinese clothes.

Beauty - Zhang Gu thought to himself, that's why Miss Chu never forgets her infatuation.

"Anyway, if you can see him, you still have to say hello." He whispered.

These days, he has been trying to get acquainted with the imperial guards, so as to find out if there is someone named Ah Jiu, but he has never had the chance.

"Boss Zhang, Ah Jiu must be very happy now." The former postman said, "There are so many children from aristocratic families as companions."

Those young people are from good backgrounds and family backgrounds, and they will definitely be able to play together with Ah Jiu. They are like-minded and close friends, and they will definitely not bully Ah Jiu——

Zhang Gu poohed: "How dare you say, you boy, those of us with bad backgrounds dared to bully Ah Jiu. At that time, you were the one who made the most trouble, and you were responsible for the snake in Ah Jiu's bed."

The postman laughed and shrank his neck: "I don't know, if I knew his origin—" he drew his voice, "I'll stuff two snakes into his bed!" After saying that, he ran forward up.

Anyway, Ah Jiu's revenge was to stuff three snakes under his bed.

He is not afraid of snakes at all.

Zhang Gu and the others laughed and chased after them in the bustling market.

The guards on the palace wall came and went, and when they saw the boy with the water-eyes isolated here, they either greeted him enthusiastically, or nodded with a smile.

Xie Yanlai looked arrogant and ignored him.

He knew that the children of these aristocratic families looked down on him, but they would not mock and bully him, instead they would enthusiastically play with him, drink and joke with him.

Because it wasn't him they were joking with, it was just his identity.

His identity, besides giving him these false enthusiasms, could bring trouble.

Xie Yanlai folded his arms and looked into the distance, how could he have the right to watch other people's excitement, especially that stupid girl.

She was stupid enough to treat him as a lifeline.

……

……

The guards on the street rushed to watch the excitement, and Liang Qiang in the mansion of the Gaomen was also rushing out.

Liang Qin and several girls stopped him.

Liang Qin asked, "Then Chu Zhao hasn't conceded yet?"

Liang Qiang laughed: "Why admit defeat, Ms. Chu is getting more courageous as she fights, and she doesn't lose every time, she's winning now."

Qi Leyun stood up one step at a time: "How is that possible!"

Chu Tang, who stood at the end, nodded: "There are so many people who come to compete, there are always ordinary people."

Chu Zhao was able to defeat Chu Ke who was an ordinary person, and naturally he could also defeat other ordinary people. There are so many scholars in this world who are ordinary people, and many people are not even as good as her.

"Then when is she going to compete?" A girl asked, "It's okay to lose all the time, but it's even worse if you win, right?"

Many people can't afford to lose, especially losing to a girl, wouldn't it be endless?

Liang Qiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are more people going to Chu Garden now, and the competition is quite intense."

What does intense mean?The girls look at each other.

"It's just that I'm no longer polite to Ms. Chu." Liang Qiang said, sighing softly, "In the past, I just clicked to the end, but now I have to express my anger, so that people can't get off the stage."

It's really heartbreaking, it's nothing for the little girl to be arrogant, it's really too much to be bullied like this.

"I won't tell you any more." He said, "I'm going to have a look right away and give Ms. Chu a compliment."

After all, he hurried away.

The girl admired him, and now he went to stand aside, she would feel at ease when she saw it.

Alas, he can only help her up to this point, he can't decide on the matter of marrying a wife.

Liang Qin and the girls didn't say a few ouches, and watched the boy run away in a hurry.

"Is this going to be endless?" Qi Leyun said, looking at Chu Tang sympathetically, "Then you still can't go home."

Poor, because of this younger sister, Chu Tang couldn't go home anymore.

"It's okay, you can live at ease in my house." Qi Leyun said generously, very happy to be kind to those who despise him.

Chu Tang shook his head and said thoughtfully, "I think we should go and have a look."

What kind of occasion?The girls look at each other, they all know Chu Zhao, what a disgrace.

"You don't think so." Chu Tang looked at everyone and said with bright eyes, "Is this competition getting more and more popular now? Does it look like Xiaowangchun Garden Literary Society?"

……

……

Night shrouded the capital, and the capital was as prosperous as day. In this splendor, Xie's house was inconspicuous.

The location of Third Young Master Xie is like an isolated island, isolated from the prosperity of the world.

"Xiaowangchun Garden Literary Club?"

Xie Yanfang stopped the pen in her hand, looked at the old servant in front of her, and was a little surprised by the picturesque eyebrows and eyes under the lamp.

"That Miss Chu didn't admit defeat?"

Chapter 42 Others

To be precise, he initiated this matter, but Xie Yanfang didn't take it seriously.

It's just to put some color on the third prince's face casually.

As for Miss Chu——

People will always face all kinds of hardships in this life, and it is not a bad thing for girls to learn some lessons when they are young.

"She conceded." The old servant said, "But she only conceded after the competition."

The old servant called Du Qi, Du Qi came in carrying a big box, the old servant stepped forward to open it, and pointed to the fact that it was full of booklets.

"This is Miss Chu's words, debate questions, and game records."

At the beginning, no one took it seriously. Occasionally, some idlers recorded the content of Chu Zhao's competition, and when they talked about it, they showed that they could be more eloquent.

But it didn't take long for bookstores to start selling books, and they sold books every three days.

"I've read it." The old servant said, "Miss Chu has carefully practiced her handwriting and is of a very good standard. She has also read the book carefully, and the gentleman she invited must be extraordinary."

This girl is not an idiot as rumored.

Xie Yanfang said: "She is not an idiot in the first place, otherwise how dare she compete with her brother in a restaurant under the watchful eyes of everyone."

He knew what happened that day, but he didn't take a look at it. The excitement was not worth paying attention to him.

However, he saw the girl when he was leaving.

Although he had never met Miss Chu, when that girl came over, he knew that this was her.

"I haven't seen Chu Ling, but I think that's what Chu Ling should look like." He said, "It looks inconspicuous, but it's full of courage."

The old servant looked at him, waiting for him to say something, such as bring these documents over to read, or talk about that Miss Chu, but Xie Yanfang looked away and continued to read the letters on the table.

"Weishan is really interesting." He said, "He asked me to ask for ten acres of land at the foot of Queshan."

Wei Shan is the eldest son of the Wei family, a prominent family in Han County. Xie Yanfang met him and asked him what gift he wanted for his birthday.

The old servant thought for a while: "I know about this. Queshan was privately owned by the Wei family. They wanted to build a hunting ground and no one else was allowed to approach it. However, there have been mountain people living at the foot of the mountain since ancient times. These fields belong to those mountain people, but Queshan What's the difficulty for him to seize the land?"

"Fame." Xie Yanfang said, "Mountains are government property, so if you take it away, you will take it away. Fields are private property, so it's really ugly to take them away."

The old servant muttered helplessly: "Why bother, there is not less than one lice on Wei's gorgeous robe."

Xie Yanfang put down the letter and said, "Let Yan come and go."

The old servant asked, "What's the reason?"

Casually letting a child of the family go out, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion.

Xie Yanfang smiled: "Tell the Liang family that the reason for the refusal is that Yan Lai thinks Miss Liang is not beautiful."

The old servant laughed: "This is the truth." He sighed helplessly: "The Liang family also has many children, how can they see their sisters being humiliated? Master Yanlai behaved like this, so he should go out to avoid it, but the third son wants to tell the Liang family more. Good things to say."

Xie Yanfang said: "As the eldest brother, it should be. Going out is not to let him play freely. It happens that a batch of goods is going to pass through Han County. Let him be responsible for escorting him. It is a punishment for his merits and atonement."

The old servant responded and said: "The sky is dry and the things are dry. I will tell Mr. Yanlai not to play recklessly, lest the fire burns out, or burns the goods. If it hurts people or destroys the village, it is the sin of my family Xie." gone."

Xie Yanfang hummed, and threw Mr. Wei Shan's letter into the censer beside it, turning it into ashes.

"My lord, let's rest earlier." The old servant said with concern.

Xie Yanfang nodded: "I'll take a break after I read another one, Cai Bo, you go and take a rest, Du Qi can also do things like tea, he's still young, he can bear it."

The old servant scolded: "Master thinks I'm old and useless."

Du Qi stepped forward and pulled him away: "Uncle Cai, don't be complacent, the young master is reluctant to part with you, and wants to let you live a long life and stay with you forever."

The old servant Cai Bo laughed, of course he knew that the third son was caring and caring, and the third son was a very gentle person who had compassion for those around him.

As for the others, the young master is not a Daluo god, so he has no responsibility to show mercy to all living beings.

Cai Bo and Du Qi left, and only Xie Yanfang was left in the room. Under the light of the lamp on the table and case, he seemed to be sitting alone in a moon palace. He was concentrating on doing things, never looking at the boxes placed in the room——

That girl was indeed beyond his expectation, but that was all, she was still not worthy of his Xie Lang's attention.
