Fast Transmigration: Embarrassed

Chapter 75 The Stunning Prince’s Ugly Consort (21)

Under the impetus of the famous ladies and sons of various prefectures, less than an hour after the end of the essay meeting, the details of the gambling game between the two daughters had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

It is said that in this poetry competition in the name of betting, the daughters of all of you selected thirty poem titles in advance, and wrote them on thirty identical bamboo sticks, and then Chu Ci and Chu Ci alternately drew the titles from them. .

It is said that the rules of this competition are very special.The poems for each topic competition are not only commented by the nobles, but also posted on the big board standing outside the restaurant.

In this way, although outsiders are not qualified to judge, they can see whether the results of the review are fair and reasonable.Moreover, if someone points out that the poem is plagiarized by others, they can confront it at that time.

It is said that each round of competition is limited to the time of one stick of incense.For the sake of fairness, neither of the two daughters signed their names, and the finished poems had to be copied by others, and handed over to the famous young men waiting in the lobby on the first floor to judge.

It is also said that half of the wealthy children and famous ladies in the capital participated in a game of gambling.

Now in the streets and alleys, almost everyone is talking about this lively event that is rarely seen even in the capital.

The common people unanimously lamented that the famous families were different, and they even made a bet to see who could write poetry better.

There are also many people with good intentions who have inquired specifically, and the daughters of the Qian and Chu families are not simple.

Miss Qian's boudoir name is Cheng Cheng, she is the third daughter of Qian Fangzhou, the Minister of War, and she has just passed the age of Ji.It is said that she was enlightened at the age of three, read history at the age of seven, and started writing articles at the age of eight. She has been known as a child prodigy since she was a child.

Miss Chu's full name is Chu Ci, she is the eldest granddaughter of Chu Xiang, the eldest daughter of Chu Jijiu, and she is now 17 years old.I heard that she was enlightened at the age of eight, finished studying "Three Hundred Thousands" at the age of 14, and only recently started to write articles. Since she was a child, she has been rumored to be willful, domineering, ignorant...

All the big and small teahouses in the capital were extremely shrewd. Once they got the news, they immediately followed suit and set up a bet, betting on who would win in the end, Miss Qian or Miss Chu.

When it was just getting dark, the odds of betting on the third miss of money were [-] to [-], and the odds of betting on Miss Chu had risen to [-] to [-].

…………

When Chu Jijiu returned to the mansion, Dr. Zhao had already sat in the front hall all afternoon, drinking three or four pots of tea.

"Mr. Chu looks good, but haven't you heard any news yet?" Dr. Zhao stroked his beard and asked uneasily.

Chu Jijiu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Zhao. I heard about it on the way. Alas! This troublesome girl became more and more courageous the more she gambled. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have acquiesced that day." The bet between her and the old man has become increasingly out of control."

Dr. Zhao saw that although Chu Mingbo's face was full of sorrow, but there was no paleness, his heart was completely relieved.

When he heard about the gamble today, his first reaction was that the Chu government should send someone to invite him again.

Dr. Zhao frowned and thought for a while, instead of being rushed away by others, it is better to be conscious and come to the door.

Dr. Zhao looked at the white hair on Chu Jijiu's temples, sighed inwardly, and persuaded him, "Master Chu, don't worry too much. The old saying goes well—children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Back then, for the sake of Missy's figure and the pimples on her face, you often asked me about various treatments, but none of them were available.

Until a while ago, the eldest lady really understood it from her heart, and she also fell in love.Look, it's only been a while, Ling'ai hasn't taken any medicine, her health is much better than before, and she is willing to make progress.

Now it seems that although the eldest lady acted impulsively, she didn't cause any serious trouble.Moreover, it is a good thing to be frustrated and grind your temper. "

After hearing these words, Chu Mingbo immediately dissipated the depression in his heart, and said gratefully: "Dr. Healed my heart disease."

The two chatted for a while about children and grandchildren, and Chu Mingbo asked his servants to seal up three times the consultation fee, and sent a car to take Dr. Zhao back.

Chu Ci sat in the boudoir, preparing a basket of excuses, waiting for her father to launch an attack.Unexpectedly, the next day, Chu Jijiu went out at the same time as usual, completely ignoring the matter.

Also surprised were mother and daughter Liu and Chu Rou.Yesterday, when Chu Rou came back from the Wenhui, she didn't even return to her own yard and went straight to Liu's room.

Chu Rou was suffocated by the words in her heart all the way. As soon as she saw Mrs. Liu, she carefully told her all the big and small things that happened at the literary meeting.

In addition to Liu's astonishment, she was even more excited.This is really in line with that sentence - one can still live if the sky does evil, but you can't live if you do evil yourself.This girl Chuci is really capable of tossing around, if she doesn't toss away all the love from her father and Chu Xiang all these years, she will not give up.

But what's the situation now?Nothing happened last night, and today I still didn't say a single word, as if nothing happened.

Chu Ci didn't know why Master Chu was so calm this time, and she didn't care.This father who loves his daughter to the bone can think about it, and she also saves the trouble of letting Lingling take action.

The top priority of Ling Ling's work today is still to fine-tune her figure and appearance within the acceptable range of others.

The three-day period seems to have arrived in the blink of an eye.

Shang Da, the shopkeeper of Chengji Restaurant, looked at the row of writing desks neatly arranged in the middle of the lobby and the disciples from a distinguished family sitting firmly behind the desks. He then quietly looked at the expressionless King An, feeling quite sad. complex.

Shang Da quickly calmed down, but couldn't help but look up at the dark crowd outside the gate of the restaurant, as well as the figures squatting on the trees by the side of the road.

Alas, since he took over this restaurant, it has never been as lively as it is today.

I don't know what the lord thinks, not only won't stop this farce, but also sit in the lobby with those young masters who call themselves "talented men" and act as judges.

He couldn't figure it out, the lord always stayed away from things like this, and he didn't know what happened recently, making exceptions again and again.

Well, it seems that it started when I met that Chu Ci.Moreover, any unusual things recently must have something to do with this Chu Ci.

The more Shang Da thought about it, the more frightened he became, God, it's impossible for the prince to really have any other feelings for that Chu Ci, right?This is a big deal, he has to quickly find an opportunity for the spy group to investigate this Chu Ci.He always felt that there was something evil about this person and this matter, so he had to investigate carefully, investigate quickly!
Shang Da was just thinking about it, when he heard the clear voice of the little girl upstairs saying: "Report to the lord, report to all the young masters, the first question has been drawn!"
