Shuangjiao

Intuition told Lingrou that Wen Xueqing's visit was not kind.

But the arrow is on the string, Ling Rou has no other choice.

The people below couldn't wait, staring at the flower ball in her hand with excitement.

Turning around slightly, away from Wen Xueqing's position, Lingrou threw the flower ball hard, trying to throw the flower ball away from Wen Xueqing.

The flower ball was pushed by thousands of hands, Ling Rou stared at it with bated breath, and glanced at Wen Xueqing from the corner of her eye, she was still sitting on the horse, she was slightly relieved.

However, the next moment, Wen Xueqing jumped from the horse's back, tapped on the horse's head with her toes, jumped up in the air, accompanied by the horse's neighing, she flipped several times in the air, and grabbed the flower ball.

When she returned to the horse, the flower ball had already fallen firmly into her hands.

"Okay!" The onlookers burst into applause.

On the railing of the flower building decorated with gold and jade, Ling Rou clenched her hands, her red lips were tightly pressed, and she said nothing.

Facing the shouts, Wen Xueqing raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Ling Rou provocatively.

The ladies who came with Lingrou all had different complexions.

The Wen family is deeply rooted in Linzhou, and the Wen family's children are outstanding and outstanding. If they enter the WTO, they must be high-ranking officials, and they are also important marriage partners for the royal family.For example, Wen Xueqing's aunt is Princess Lekang, the younger sister of today's son.

Although Ling Yi, the eldest daughter of Ling's family, married Li Wang as the main concubine, she was far behind in the end.

This gap was bridged by the two's personalities in dealing with others.

Wen Xueqing is aloof and arrogant, with the pride of a top aristocrat; Ling Rou is kind and close, talking and laughing, and getting along very well.

They are also high-ranking people, rather than being angry and ignored by Wen Xueqing, it is better to be comfortable with Lingrou.

——Even if their family background is not as good as these two, they don't need to bow down, why don't they treat themselves better?

Of course, there are also some vacillations. I want to please Wen Xueqing, but I don’t want to fight against Lingrou. The two sides are tossing and turning. .

Now that Wen Xueqing is in the limelight and snatches away the bouquet, she doesn't like money, so she is not reconciled to leaving.

At this time, the ceremony was over, and some Ma Kuai family members had come here to participate in the excitement.At this time, seeing the flower ball being snatched by a bright and beautiful woman, but the owner of the flower building has been slow to move, he is also interested in waiting.

Not to mention the woman's demeanor, just by the healthy horse she sits on and the clothes she wears, you can tell that she is not an ordinary person.

Soon, someone with sharp eyes recognized that it was the daughter of Duke Wen's family.

They didn't know much about the dispute in the boudoir of Wen Ling's two girls, they just wanted to watch this good show.

"Shuangjiao in Linzhou is unparalleled in the world." I was lucky enough to meet one today, and it was worth the trip.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ling Rou had no chance to shirk and repent.

The maid who followed her also knew that the girl was annoyed, but she had no choice but to lower her eyebrows and go downstairs to invite her to come up.At least the onlookers can no longer make jokes like this.

===

No matter how much Wen Xueqing disdains Ling Rou, at least Ling Rou treats Wen Xueqing well on the face of it, with standard etiquette in every move.

"Everything is renewed and thriving," Ling Rou smiled, her slender eyes curled up, and the little moles of tears under her eyes were also shining, "Xueqing is rare to come, take a seat quickly."

All the powerful and noble women of Linzhou present here are not too prepared for Wen Xueqing's arrival. After all, when inviting her earlier, Ling Rou hinted that she would not be invited.

Satisfied with the panicked and dodged eyes of one or two grasshoppers on the wall, Wen Xueqing drank tea from a celadon cup, covering up the sarcasm at the corners of her mouth—these people came to her a few days ago to flatter and show their loyalty, and they voted for Lingrou in a blink of an eye. She also knew that she was guilty.

Fortunately, she never cared about these people from the beginning to the end, and only listened to their so-called "sincerity".

Rubbing the uneven embroidery thread with her fingers, Wen Xueqing threw the flower ball to Lingrou suddenly: "Today's lottery is very good, but I don't know what delicious and fun Qiniang has prepared."

If a daughter from a poor family got the bouquet today, she would not be happy to treat Ling Rou respectfully. After all, this is a rare opportunity. Even if she can't be friends, if she gets a favor from the girl from the Ling family, she will still be able to show off her capital in the future.

The gentry and commoners were separated by heaven, and intermarriage between the gentry and poor families was almost impossible.It is justifiable for a girl from a common clan to marry into a high family, but it is absolutely impossible for a girl from a high family to marry a lowly girl from a Han clan.It is the limit for a poor family to be a concubine, but the high family has to bear more risks-they are likely to be impeached by the officials, and they are despised by others.

Even if it is a marriage between high families, the choices are limited, and the first-class families only marry with the first-class families.The children of the Ling family are not as good as other families, and their marriages are more flattering, which makes the marriage effect of the daughters of the Ling family magnified. However, the wealth and nobility of the Ling family are still there. As long as their status is still there, it is still the case when other families marry. The first object to consider.

If it wasn't for Wen Xueqing to get the bouquet today, and a girl from the Han clan came up at random, Ling Rou would have dismissed her with a sentence or two, and she would have to praise her to the fullest afterwards, praising her character.

Wen Xueqing had heard her aunt Princess Lekang praise her a long time ago.She and Ling Rou didn't get along, there was no way she had heard Ling Rou play the piano before.

Seeing the maid carrying the piano table and setting it up, Wen Xueqing couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

Ling Rou is good at the piano, and she studied under a famous teacher. Today, Ling Routuo suffered a lot and had to bow her head to Wen Xueqing.Don't let Wen Xueqing hold on to this.

Burning incense with clean hands, an impassioned song "Guangling San", and the sound of soldiers and swords coming from the strings.

When Nie Zheng assassinated Han, the whole world was silent, and Zhongsan was about to be executed, and there was no sound.

If "Guangling San" wants to pop up such an artistic conception, it must be skillful in fingering, and it must be completed in one go. If there is a slight pause, the momentum will be lost.

Wen Xueqing was surprised.Princess Lekang was born in an emperor's family with a proud temperament. She came from Luoyang and has seen countless noble women.When she praised Ling Rou a lot, Wen Xueqing didn't take it seriously, she only thought that her aunt had stayed in Linzhou for a long time, and her vision had also dropped.

——Princess Lekang is right, Ling Rou can afford it.

"Guangling San" is too long, Ling Rou only cuts out a few paragraphs, and already everyone is amazed.

Facing these compliments, Ling Rou just nodded and smiled reservedly, and glanced at Wen Xueqing.

Wen Xueqing also knows how to play the piano, but not as good as Ling Rou. She is better at blowing the flute.Wen Xueqing's flute sound was deeply loved by Princess Lekang, and she once said that she would not lose to everyone in Luoyang.

However, Wen Xueqing seldom shows it in front of people.In most people's minds, Duke Wen's daughter is heroic and heroic, and horseback riding and archery are well-known for her strengths. As for the more elegant skills... Princess Lekang doesn't mention it, and everyone will not reveal her shortcomings.

——If Wen Xueqing is good at calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, why does Princess Lekang just say these two things in front of everyone many times?

You know, Princess Lekang has only one son, Wen Wulang, and Wen Xueqing lost her mother when she was young. Princess Lekang loves her so much and raises her as her own daughter.

Princess Lekang is a sister who even the emperor gives way to three points, and she refuses to be disadvantaged in any place.Such a niece who resembles her like her own daughter, if she is really good at music, who else in the Linzhou boudoir would not know.

"Depressed and impassioned, solemn and powerful, with a thrilling feeling." Wen Xueqing's evaluation was the same as that of most people, quite satisfactory.

Ling Rou also remembered that Wen Xueqing didn't seem to understand the rhythm, it was rare to be able to understand so much, and no matter how much she was forced, she would not be able to express any profound insights.

She couldn't help feeling a little downcast.

Even though Linzhou Shuangjiao has their own strengths, Wen Xueqing should understand the matter of fighting better than these people. After all, she was raised by the Wen family and Princess Lekang together.

With so many people present, even Wen Xueqing couldn't understand.

===

When Wen Xueqing returned to Wen's mansion, it happened that Wen Guanghe and the young master came out of the study.

Today celebrities gather in Tongli, Wen Guanghe and Wen Jiming will entertain these people next time, Wen Xueqing glanced around and found a familiar figure in the crowd.

On the other end, Wen Jiming, who had finished the Spring Festival, walked slowly, stood beside the figure, and spoke to him in a warm voice.

That figure was Gao Qi, the man of the Gao family who was engaged to her.

The Gao family controls the largest Gangshen Pot in Linzhou.Shenhu connects the north and the south, and is an important stop for water transportation. In addition, it can also enter Luoyang via Bianqu in the west.The Wen family and the Gao family have been married for generations. Gao Qi's biological grandmother is the younger sister of Wen Xueqing's grandfather. Every generation of the Gao family has been firmly controlled by the Wen family in order to control the magic pot.

Gao Qi is gentle and handsome. His young mother died of illness and his youngest sister, Gao Cai, was left behind. Although he was the eldest son, his father remarried, and his stepmother added two more boys and a little lady, which captured his father's attention. He became a marginal figure in the mansion.

Regarding the situation in the Gao family, the Wen family decided to support Gao Qi after considering the situation, and let him enter into a marriage contract with Wen Xueqing, which means that the Wen family only recognizes Gao Qi as the heir of the Gao family.

——When Wen Xueqing marries into the Gao family, according to the Wen family's plan, Wen Xueqing will be the person in charge behind the Gao family.

If Gao Qi wants to become the master of the Gao family, he must marry Wen Xueqing. This is the case in almost every generation of the Gao family. Back then, Gao Qi's father did not marry Wen's daughter, but it was because the girls of Wen Guanghe's generation all died one after another.

Now the court is in chaos, the royal family is in decline, the three divisions are in charge, the eunuchs exercise power, the court is corrupt, and the relatives and powerful officials are fighting for power.Coupled with the continuous natural disasters, the governor of the twelve prefectures was promoted from the governor to control the local military and government, and the power of each family was undercurrent.

Of the twelve states in the world, all the five states in the north fell into the hands of Wei Miao, the brother of Empress Wei.Especially after he returned to Luoyang with his soldiers and Qin Wang Yingtian, he was canonized as Duke Wei and established a principality.The emperor is weak, Wei Miao is ambitious, and half of the country is in his hands. Linzhou was originally a battleground for military strategists, and the magic pot is a throat. The Wen family had to be careful.

The magic pot must be under the control of the Wen family, and it must be firmly grasped!

Gao Qi knew this well, but he had to accept the Wen family's help if he wanted the Gao family.And Gao Cai is Wen Xueqing's most powerful supporter when she and Ling Rou fight.

Seeing Wen Xueqing by the hanging flower door from a distance, Gao Qi nodded and smiled, and followed Wen Guanghe into the banquet hall without changing his footsteps.
