Empress Chu

"Put everything here, let me take a look."

The maidservants responded, put down the paper, fetched pens and ink, stood aside and waited.

……

……

Since the first day, Qi Leyun and others have come every day.

"That Chu Zhao, really, loses again and again, I don't know what she's going to do before it's over." Qi Leyun told his family angrily, "We all feel ashamed of her."

Look at it, then it's all right, looking at Chu's daughter ashamed, it can be regarded as an outlet for the third prince, the third prince can't blame the people who watched the fun, the adults in the family are relieved, and they don't restrain the girls.

So more girls came to watch the excitement.

Four servants carried a large table and placed it in the Haitang Pavilion. There was no room to sit here, and many girls were standing in the corridor.

"Who are you treating me to?" Chu Tang came over and said with a smile, "It costs a lot."

Qi Leyun said loudly, "We shared it." He smiled again, "I didn't expect it to be cheaper than in Zuixianlou."

Chu Tang smiled: "Is it cheap? I will let them make it cheaper. Those who have paid today will give everyone a table tomorrow."

The girls are very happy, although no one is short of money, but face.

Qi Leyun clapped her hands: "A Tang, you are so caring."

But not everyone felt that Chu Tang was considerate. A girl waved a fan to half cover her face and said with a chuckle, "A Tang, you are the master. Be generous with your hospitality. It would be nice if you don't charge money."

Chu Tang smiled and sighed: "I think so too." She put her hands on her heart, "It's a pity that I can't do it." As she spoke, she glanced at Ting Yutang, "I'm not the master here."

That's right, Chu Zhao started the matter here, Qi Leyun glared at the girl who spoke: "Ah Tang is already very pitiful."

First, he had no choice but to stay at her house, but now he was arrested by Chu Zhao to do something.

The girl also glared at Qi Leyun, thinking of this fool.

She put down the fan, stared at Chu Tang and said: "A Tang, this matter has nothing to do with you, why bother to be angry, the Qi family is tired of living, and there is my house, my father gave me a house, you go with me live."

Look at how you Chu Tang answered, put on an attitude of being forced to do things, and said that cheap tea is a gift for favors, Qi Leyun is a fool, she is not, her family runs three restaurants, and the tea in Chuyuan is like a non-stop flow of water all day long , she can almost calculate the profit.

The number is scary!

Chu Tang looked at her and smiled helplessly: "No matter who I live in or how long I live, my surname is Chu, and when everyone talks about me, they will only say Chu's daughter, and family affairs are my affairs. So what if I don't."

Say goodbye and salute.

"Have fun, I'll get busy first."

Chu Tang left, and the girl was immediately reprimanded by everyone.

"Why do you bully people like this?" Qi Leyun said angrily, "A Tang is like this, and you still laugh at her for bullying her, what do you want her to do? Don't even want a home, go to die?"

The other girls also looked at the girl dissatisfied and complained, and some shook their heads, "Alan, you are mean."

The girl was a little flustered by the complaints - Chu Tang's family background is weak, she can be bullied at will, it's okay to make her angry, but these girls can't do it, if they get angry and isolate her, her reputation in the capital will be ruined.

"I don't mean anything else." She could only admit her mistake, "I just want to eat snacks without spending money."

Qi Leyun threw the fan over angrily, "You are worthless!"

Chu Tang doesn't care about the noise of the girls here, and she doesn't care if they bully her, she is used to it, she knows that her family background is weak, others can bully them at will, but it is also because of her weak family background that she will get pity.

More people like to be kind than to bully.

So as long as she shows her pity at the right time, those who bully her can be bullied by others.

These are trivial things, and I am tired of playing them crookedly. Now there are more interesting things. Chu Tang walked back to the second floor of Tingyu Hall, and a maid was sorting out the account books in front of the table.

They were still Chu Ke's maidservants, the ones that Chu Zhao had chosen earlier.

After Chu Tang took over, she did not replace her with her maid.

She's here to do things, not to put on a show of prestige, she's a member of the family, so it's okay to use whoever she wants.

"Show me today's account book." She said.

The maidservants immediately got up and brought them to her. Chu Tang flipped through them, writing and drawing with pens. The flower windows on the second floor were open, and the clamor of scholars could be heard from time to time.

Alas, Chu Tang thought, Chu Zhao is about to lose again, what a pity.

……

……

With a snap, the chess piece was slapped on the chessboard.

The middle-aged scribe on the opposite side sneered: "Miss Chu, you lost."

Chu Zhao didn't care about the ridicule on the scribe's face at all. He leaned over to look at the chessboard for a moment. After thinking and thinking that there was no way to bring the dead back to life, he nodded and saluted: "I lost, and the young master won. I am not as good as the young master."

After saying this, she stretched out her hand, and a maidservant at the side immediately handed over a booklet. Now she doesn't have to write on the spot, it's all printed and stamped with her seal, and if she loses, she will take it out and present it. It was much easier before——

The scribe took it, but instead of showing it to everyone, he tore it up three times and two times.

"Someone didn't come here to participate in the essay meeting, but one came here to teach you a lesson." He sneered, "Little girl, I don't know what to do!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The people around laughed, this was not the first time, ever since Chu Zhao humiliated the lost scholar, he was retaliated by the scholar madly.

Chu Zhao had no expression on his face, let the pieces of paper fall by his side, and walked to another table - a competition with ten people, which is not over yet.

"My lord, please." Chu Zhao said.

The young master sitting across from him showed disdain, and said lightly: "Miss Chu, it's better to hurry up, I have an appointment with someone, and I'm in a hurry to drink."

Chu Zhao didn't say a word, but concentrated on thinking, and fell down.

Every step of their game, there are servants holding it up on the big display board for everyone to see.

Seeing this move, several girls were anxious, "Oh, oh!" "This Chu Zhao, it's not right."

Another girl patted the pillar angrily, "Will Chu Zhao know how to play chess? You're so stupid."

In addition to eating snacks and watching the excitement, there are also many girls who watch the competition seriously. Most of these girls come from good family backgrounds.

For example, the girl watching chess at this time is surnamed Zhou, and the elders in the family are good at chess.

The other girls comforted Ms. Zhou, "She can't compare with you." "If you lose, you lose. She is the one who is ashamed."

Miss Zhou frowned: "It's her who is ashamed, and we are also."

This made the other girls a little puzzled: "What does it matter to us?" "We have no competition."

Miss Zhou looked at the platform over there: "Who made her a woman, we are also women."

……

……

On the platform, the chess game ended very quickly, and Chu Zhao lost.

The young master on the opposite side laughed loudly, even more so than the winner last time, he didn't even accept the receipts for admitting defeat.

"Chu's daughter, I just came here to win you, not for the world to see, but for you alone to know that you are arrogant and ignorant, and you don't know the heights of heaven and earth!" He said, pointing at Chu Zhao, "Little girl, read a few books!" It’s enough to know women’s virtues, but she is so arrogant, she is arrogant when she wins a man, and she thinks that the world’s scholars are not as good as you, what a little girl is ridiculous.”

Chu Zhao looked calm, letting the ridicule cover his head and face.

The girls standing in the corridor were also silent, their faces turning red and then pale.

A mere little girl.

A mere little girl.

After the boy finished cursing, he turned around and strode away, but there was a soft voice behind him.

"This young man wait a minute!"

The young master turned around, raised his thick eyebrows, this daughter of the Chu family has lost, do you still dare to argue with him?But Chu Zhao was also turning his head to look in one direction.

There were quite a few girls in the corridor over there, and their expressions were a little nervous at this time, and they pulled one of the girls back. The girl's face was flushed, and she looked like she was about to suffocate.

what?

Well, but it's not surprising, the young master stretched out his hand and stroked his temples gently, he has both talents and looks, it's normal for these women to fall in love with him.

Well, he's not just a casual guy.

"This is a place for competition." He was arrogant and alienated, "It's not for you girls to have fun, and it's not for choosing a good son-in-law."

Miss Zhou was impulsive and stopped calling out. She already regretted it, but when she heard this young man say such words, her head buzzed.

The meaning of this statement is very straightforward, and it is not new. Earlier, the third prince scolded the princesses, saying that the girls attended some cultural conferences to choose their son-in-law.

That's all for the third prince's literary meeting, that's the prince, they dare not object.

A random scholar in Chu Yuan even dared to humiliate them, they obviously didn't do anything!

pissed her off!

The girls beside them felt that they were being pulled hard, but they couldn't hold it any longer, and only exclaimed: "A Jiang."

Miss Zhou, whose maiden name is A Jiang, rushed out of the corridor like a calf.

"Young Master." She shouted, "I am also a mere little girl, how dare you compete with me!"

Chapter 46 Name

Chu Garden seemed to suddenly become lively.

People who are entering and those who are going out are aware of it.

Of course, Chu Garden has always been very lively, but it is a bit lazy and lively. The initial novelty has passed, and they have also figured out the skills of this girl, Chu Zhao. She is indeed talented, but not enough to convince the world. people.

It is not so easy to convince the world, and none of them can do it.

So, for this little girl like Chu Zhao to compete arrogantly with the people of the world, she would be humiliating herself.

The little girl can win a few times, but most of them are lost. I am tired of humiliating this little girl, and now I am waiting for this little girl to admit defeat and end the matter.

But at this moment, Chu Garden was like a stone thrown on the surface of the water, and the water splashed again.

"What's going on?" "Who lost?"

People asked one after another—because they were lazy and boring, many people had stopped watching the competition, why not take a look at the scenery of Chu Garden.

The servants in Chu Garden are very useful, and they can deliver what is needed immediately. Sitting here is much more comfortable than going to restaurants and teahouses.

Upon hearing the question, Chu Yuan's servant immediately replied: "Mr. Pengcheng just won against Ms. Chu, and then a young lady asked Mr. Pengcheng about chess skills."

Hey, there are other girls who want to compete?

Everyone was surprised and curious, those who were about to leave turned around one after another, and those who had just entered quickened their pace.

The servants of Chu Garden were also quick-witted, "Go and tell Ms. Atang that the sales volume will not decrease, there will be more."

When Miss Zhou ran out and yelled that sentence, Chu Tang, who was concentrating on the calculation, was startled and put down his calculations, standing on the second floor and looking down.

"Is Ah Jiang crazy?" She said in surprise.

The maidservants stood aside a little uneasy, this was something out of the situation, and they didn't know what to do: "Do you want to take Miss A Jiang away?"

This contest was aimed at Miss Chu Zhao, and all the troubles were taken care of by Chu Zhao alone.

But what happens when another lady suddenly jumps in?

Chu Tang looked downstairs, she was also a little puzzled, this Zhou Jiang is a very ordinary lady from aristocratic family, well-behaved and docile, at most she has a little temper that all girls have, what kind of madness is this?

Stand up for Chu Zhao?

"Miss A Tang, Miss A Tang." The servant stepped up from downstairs and relayed the news of the increase in guests.

Chu Tang patted the window railing: "Go, tell Zuixianlou that we will increase the price of refreshments, and Ximoxuan, we will also increase the price. In the future, it will not be just Azhao in the anthology."

After finishing speaking, he glanced downstairs again, retracted his gaze and walked back to the table, got counting chips, asked the maid to count, and concentrated on getting busy.

It doesn't matter if Chu Zhao goes crazy, or the other girls go crazy, it's their own business, she doesn't care, so she can take care of her own business.

……

……

The girls in the booth all stood up and watched nervously, they didn't dare to come over.

Chu Zhao stood behind Miss Zhou, watching Miss Zhou step by step.
