In the past two days, the hot topic on everyone's lips, in addition to the big military parade, is the fact that Chengguo and Donglinguo are about to have a cooking competition. Of course, Yang Ruo has also become a popular figure that everyone has pushed to the cusp.

"That Yang Ruo, I heard that it was a little girl from the countryside who came from Xijing, and I don't know what kind of good luck she had, and she would participate in the big competition with Donglinguo."

"That's because she is looking for death, she can't help herself, does she think that there is no one in our country? It was her turn. ”

"I can't say, maybe someone has a magic weapon?" At this moment, the lord of Showa went to sit in his back garden very leisurely and have a tea party with a group of young ladies.

"County Lord, you said so, but you promoted her, but I heard that she has a low status and her speech is also vulgar, and I also heard that she was still in Yang Ge's old garden two days ago and beat Wang Jianting. I heard that General Wang was also present at that time. ”

"Tsk, what a country girl, she really does everything."

"I think she wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but in the end she was rejected, and then she was angry and angry, and turned her anger on Wang Jianting. That Wang Jianting is really pitiful, there is such a barbaric junior sister. "After Yang Ruo participated in the big competition, eight generations of her ancestors were picked up. Therefore, these young ladies regarded Yang Ruo as an interesting conversation after tea and dinner, and saw that she not only called Yang Ge Lao her father-in-law, but even King Ming spoke for her. Those who secretly envy her are eager for her defeat this time.

"Hmph, stand high, fall hard, I think if she loses this time, then the emperor and the mother will be guilty, it will be happy and sad."

"Yes, I heard that there are a lot of people in Donglinguo, and it seems that he worshipped some famous teacher. And people who take the initiative to provoke must have real skills. ”

"Don't talk about Miss Yang like that, I've heard that she is a good cook." Lord Showa said gently.

The lord of Showa listened to everyone's discussions, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart. She said in her heart: Wang Qi, even if you want to protect her this time, you can't. Let's look at her own creation, Yang Ruo, you will definitely not be so lucky forever. Then she smiled faintly, reached out and took a lychee, which Yinshuang handed her, and put it in her mouth. I just feel that this lychee is sweet and juicy, with a faint fragrance, with a fragrance that has never been seen before, which makes the mouth relish.

These lychees were shipped from the south this morning at a great price, and I heard that they were cultivated using special cultivation techniques, which are not afraid of the cold, and are large and sweet. "You don't need to be polite, these concubines are laughing, I'm tired of eating."

As soon as Showa's voice fell, those ladies said no, but the hand speed was indeed faster than the other, and a basket of lychees was gone in the blink of an eye.

Yinshuang couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at it on the side, this frame was worth a thousand taels of gold, and the county lord also spent a lot of money to squeeze Yang Ruo this time.

"There, county lord, you're kind. You don't know how shameless that Yang Ruo is. She has today's status, and she has not succeeded in ascending to the position by relying on her face. I heard that she eats all ages, even Yang Ge Lao, and she doesn't let it go. "It was Prime Minister Wang's daughter who spoke. That Prime Minister Wang and Yang Yuan are mortal enemies, and today in front of everyone, he said that his goddaughter was not a squirt.

"Yes, she's so powerful. How do you know? ”

Those women stay in the boudoir on weekdays, and who doesn't have a gossip heart. Therefore, someone picked up this conversation, and suddenly threw a small pebble in the middle of a calm lake, stirring everyone's hearts.

"Ahem, you eat tea and eat tea, don't talk nonsense. Beware of this word reaching the ears of some people, and everyone will not look good. One of the young ladies was relatively timid, and it was ridiculous to hear them say that it was really ridiculous to hear them say something out loud.

At this time, Miss Shen from Shangshu Mansion also saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, and couldn't help but come out to play a round. "I think Miss Huan'er is right. Let's not speak ill of others behind their backs. And as far as I know, Miss Yang is not what everyone says. Not only is she a good cook, but she also has a good heart, but she can also help people see a doctor. Last time, my grandmother was sick, but thanks to Miss Yang's help. ”

"Miss Shen, you are really good at laughing, you said that Yang Ruo would actually treat people. It's really funny to me, why don't you say she can jump a big rope. Giggles! The woman who spoke was the daughter of King Rui, called Mingzhu, and everyone generally called her Lord Ming.

"No, Lord Ming. On that day, Miss Yang helped my old lady to see a doctor, but I was waiting on the sidelines, and I saw with my own eyes that she woke up my old lady. Chun Ying was the maid who followed the old lady to Tianyuan Temple last time to offer incense, and Yang Ruo still asked her and several other maidservants to bleed the old lady's fingers and toes that day. Since the old lady went back, she has been talking about Yang Ruo's goodness, and she is thinking about inviting her to her home for a meal, so as to thank her for saving her life last time. Today she was fortunate to follow the young lady and was invited to the county lord's mansion, but she never thought of it here. Unexpectedly, she found that this place had become Yang Ruo's criticism meeting, and when she saw that the young lady said this, she couldn't help but stand up and help.

"Hmph, a rough girl, even dare to teach your family when the masters are talking, is this how your tutor teaches? Xiao Ran slapped his mouth. The county lord of Mingzhu said that he would turn his face, Miss Shen trembled with anger, but she didn't dare to say more. Seeing this, Chun Hotaru couldn't help but kneel on the ground and beg for mercy in fright.

"The county lord spares his life, what the slave and maid said is the truth, and please ask the county lord to learn clearly."

Miss Shen could only kneel on the ground and give in, "I also asked the county lord to be gracious and go around my family." "Shen Ruyun is the eldest daughter of today's Shangshu Shen, and she is also a famous talented woman in Kyoto. Although she does not have the flamboyance of the Showa County Lord, she is also gentle and tender, and there are not a few sons and brothers who come to propose marriage.

The lord of the pearl is extremely ugly, although he has a good background, he has no choice but to follow his mother's figure. She is only seventeen years old this year, but she already looks like a grown woman. The waist is thick and round, and the face is hateful. On weekdays, the skirts she wears must be made to order by ready-to-wear stores. And she changes new clothes once a week, because she grows so fast, the previous clothes are almost always worn once and thrown away.

"If you say it's around, I'll go around. Do you think I'm the Lord of Mingzhu County who is too easy to talk to? In front of me, you dare to talk nonsense, you should be beaten. After the lord of Mingzhu finished speaking, the maid named Xiao Ran immediately stepped forward and pulled Chun Ying up, stepped forward and stretched the bow left and right, and slapped her twice.

The spring fireflies who hit straight were full of gold stars, and they fell to the ground at once. This pearl county lord is martial, and the maids beside her are not weak in martial arts, so Chun Ying's face was swollen like fermented steamed buns on the spot.

"Haruharu? Lord Ming, my maidservant, just said a word, what's wrong with her, now you are beating. Scolding and scolding, you can stop it. After Miss Shen finished speaking, she immediately stepped forward to support Chun Ying, went to see her face, and couldn't help but cry secretly. Chun Hotaru, it's all my fault, I can't protect you. ”

Chun Ying shook her head and comforted Shen Ruyun in turn, "Miss, the slave maid did something wrong, and she should be punished." It's none of Miss's business. ”

The other ladies were also frightened by this scene, and wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but no one dared to go against the lord of Mingzhu County.

"According to you, it's not mine today." The county lord of Mingzhu hates women who look better than her the most, especially the type like Shen Ruyun, who hates it even more when she sees it. Today, they bumped into her hands by themselves, but she didn't find fault with herself. Just took advantage of today's opportunity to humiliate her, and it was easy to relieve the resentment in her heart.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the lord of Showa was busy playing a round. "That's it, that's it, it's to make the sisters happy today, so why bother not to make it. Sister Mingzhu, buy a face for your sister today, spare that girl. "The lord of Showa County has already given Miss Shen a dismissal, after all, her father is the lord of Shangshu in the current dynasty, so he can't make it too ugly.

Mingzhu County mainly has such an effect, so he said: "Okay, since my sister said so, forget about this matter." It just so happened that I had something to tell my sister, so I walked away so as not to stain my eyes. ”

Hearing her say this, everyone's face is not good-looking. Besides, when something like this happens, their interest in continuing to flow is also lost. The most important thing is that they are afraid that if they continue to stay, they may find some excuse for the Mingzhu County Lord to beat someone again, which will be a big bad deal.

So for a while, everyone got up and said goodbye.

Showa's purpose today has been achieved, and when he saw that Mingzhu said that he had something to find him, he didn't have the heart to keep anyone else, so he ordered the maidservants to send off the guests.

"My sister doesn't know what to look for my little sister, please come here." The county lord's mansion has a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there is a warm pavilion in the middle of the pavilion, surrounded by flowers, and there is also a fishing platform, which is more suitable for chatting and talking.

"Good!"

Mingzhu would signal Xiao Ran to stay with his eyes, and when the Lord of Showa saw this, he also hurriedly let Ginkgo and Yinshuang stay in place, and did not let them follow.

"You mean Lord Rui, if you want to invite Wang Qi to the banquet, you can tell him directly, why did you tell me."

"Sister, others don't know, don't I know, now you are General Wang's person. If General Wang becomes a colt in the future, and my father escorts him, wouldn't it be more beneficial to your status as a county lord and to the prince? ”

"Where did you hear it, there was nothing at all." After the Lord of Showa finished speaking, his face couldn't help but change. She didn't expect their story to spread so quickly, but she didn't know if Gongsun Jin and Yang Ruo knew. And that night, Wang Qi was drunk. Afterwards, he didn't say anything to himself. She didn't know what to do with it, but she didn't think about it, but Mingzhu burned a fire in her heart.

"Anyway, the dinner is tomorrow, and my father means to let you come with me, saying that there is something good to discuss with you." After Mingzhu finished speaking, he left with a smile.

All along, the lord of Showa has been the shadow in her heart, from childhood to adulthood, everyone has always mentioned Showa and no pearl, so Showa is her nightmare from childhood to adulthood. And today, she Mingzhu finally caught the handle of Showa, and she couldn't help but feel proud. Moreover, she could see that Showa seemed to care about Wang Qi very much, because when she mentioned Wang Qi earlier, she obviously saw that the face of the county lord of Showa had changed, so she was not afraid that she would not come.
