LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 40 The First Pot of Gold
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Princess Zhuoyang with sharp eyes.
After all, they all claim to have some talent, and the prize today is so great, it would be a lie to say they are not tempted.
Princess Zhuoyang could hardly bear the gaze of so many people.
I could only stand up and walk towards the three judges who had been chosen in advance.
In fact, Princess Zhuoyang was very unhappy. She had clearly made arrangements in advance and could have just announced the first place.
Now that she's been put in this situation again, wouldn't it make people doubt the fairness of this competition?
But she couldn't get angry in front of everyone.
These three judges have always been famous for their talents in the capital.
They are also afraid that any deviation from the norm will ruin their reputation; after all, this is how they make a living.
If they tell lies with open eyes, who will come to them in the future?
One of them bowed to Princess Zhuoyang and said, "It is really hard for us to decide between these two. Please let Princess Zhuoyang make the decision."
After saying this, he handed both manuscripts to Princess Zhuoyang.
One of them was the candidate chosen by Princess Zhuoyang, whose name was Xue Liu. This person was the niece-in-law of Princess Zhuoyang and was well-known as a talented woman in the capital.
Speaking of the Zhuoyang County Ma family, it is also quite prominent. The Zhuoyang County Princess's husband's surname is Wei, and her father-in-law is Wei Anhou, who is quite trusted by the emperor.
Marquis An of Wei had three sons, namely Wei Ze'an, Wei Zening, and Wei Zeyu.
Princess Zhuoyang married Wei Zening, the second son of the Wei family. Although Wei Zening looked handsome on the surface, he was actually a playboy.
He often stayed in brothels, and Princess Zhuoyang had quarrels with him over this issue many times.
Moreover, Wei Zening was the second child and was destined not to inherit the title, so he married Princess Zhuoyang.
Xue Liu married Wei Ze'an's eldest son Wei Qicheng. According to seniority, she should call Princess Zhuoyang "Auntie".
Princess Zhuoyang also decided on Xue Liu based on the principle of keeping the wealth within the family.
But when Princess Zhuoyang saw the other poem, her face turned ugly.
This was written by Lu Chenshuang. Although Xue Liu's poem was also well written, it could not compare with the one written by Lu Chenshuang.
If the two people's writings are equally good, or even if Lu Chenshuang's writing is slightly better than Xue Liu's, they will side with Xue Liu.
However, the difference in poetry is obvious. If they continue to favor Xue Liu, everyone will probably feel it is unfair.
So for a moment, Princess Zhuoyang was a little hesitant.
Seeing that they had not come to a conclusion yet, the princess became impatient and said, "Why is it so difficult to decide? Bring it here for me to see."
A trace of regret flashed across Princess Zhuoyang's eyes, but she did not dare to disobey the eldest princess's order.
He had no choice but to take the two poems to the princess. The princess took a look and said with a smile: "Although I am not very knowledgeable about literature, I can still tell the level of these two poems.
Obviously this one is better in terms of quantity and talent.”
As he said this, he took out the poem written by Lu Chenshuang.
Then he said to the crowd: "Who wrote this? It's so beautiful that only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital is moved when the flowers bloom.
There is not a single unnecessary word, but the description of the peony's superior beauty and fragrance is vivid and vivid. "
Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang was immediately amused. She didn't expect the princess to intervene, so she quickly stood up and said, "Princess, I wrote it."
The eldest princess was stunned. She didn't expect that it was written by Lu Chenshuang. She really didn't expect that Lu Chenshuang had such talent.
Rumors outside said that Lu Chenshuang was the daughter of a minor official and had no talent, but because Jing Zhaoyan was in a hurry to go to war, the lady of Jingyang Marquis's mansion hurriedly married her for him.
Because of the decline of the Jing family's title, and the fact that only Jing Zhaoyan and her son were left to support the family, and everyone knew that marrying into the Jing family might result in being a widow for life, no one in the capital was willing to marry Jing Zhaoyan.
No one knew where Li found Lu Chenshuang. All we knew was that Lu Chenshuang's father was a fifth-rank official and not from the capital, so ordinary noble ladies looked down on Lu Chenshuang's background.
So even though the eldest princess liked Lu Chenshuang, she never expected that she had such talent.
To be fair, the princess smiled and said, "Everyone can take a look, don't accuse me of favoritism and corruption."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Princess Zhuoyang laughed awkwardly and said, "What are you talking about, sister? How could we all know what kind of person you are? How could you be partial to someone for personal gain and commit fraud in such a small matter?
I also think Lu Chenshuang's poem is better."
Lu Chenshuang smiled when she heard this. With what the eldest princess and Princess Zhuoyang said, she was sure to get the first place.
Princess Zhuoyang's ten thousand taels of silver notes and all these jewelry belong to her.
If all these jewellery were sold, there would be at least 20,000 taels.
With this calculation, he suddenly had an income of 30,000 taels of silver. Lu Chenshuang's smile was so raised that he couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to. It was true that making money made people happy.
This was also the first pot of gold that Lu Chenshuang earned on his own after coming to ancient times.
Soon, everyone who read Lu Chenshuang's poems agreed that hers were the best.
In fact, Lu Chenshuang still felt a little guilty, after all, none of these poems were written by her.
It's just that no one knows.
In the end, Lu Chenshuang won the prize of this competition.
After she thanked Princess Zhuoyang, she unceremoniously put the ten thousand taels of silver into her sleeve, actually into her laboratory.
As there were too many jewels, she couldn't cheat in front of so many people, so she put them in a box and let Xiaoman and Guyu hold them.
When Xiaoman and Guyu saw so many things, they immediately smiled.
Especially Xiaoman, she said a few days ago that she had never earned any money since she was a child, but now she wants to take it back.
The girls in their family not only know how to earn money, but also earn a lot of money.
After taking the prize, Lu Chenshuang prepared to leave because the flower-viewing banquet was coming to an end.
No one expected that Lu Chenshuang would be the winner, and since the princess was so special to her, after the flower-viewing banquet, many people came to congratulate Lu Chenshuang, and of course they also did not hesitate to praise her.
Lu Chenshuang responded with a smile, and every move was very appropriate, which made the noble ladies in the capital city have a much better impression of Lu Chenshuang.
Some people even congratulated Li and said that she had married a good daughter-in-law.
However, Li did not look proud of it, but had a fake smile on his face.
She now hated Lu Chenshuang so much that her teeth were itching. She cursed Lu Chenshuang in her heart for being so ignorant of the rules. She didn't even realize that she had offended Zhuoyang by showing off her talents at Princess Zhuoyang's flower-viewing banquet. She was really a fool.
Originally, Li thought that Lu Chenshuang had attached herself to the eldest princess and looked up to her, but who knew that she would offend Princess Zhuoyang again.
Is Princess Zhuoyang someone that their Jing family can afford to offend?
No, their family had finally started to improve thanks to her hard work, and they absolutely couldn't let it fail because of Lu Chenshuang.
When Yan'er comes back, she will make sure Yan'er divorces that little bitch Lu Chenshuang.
Lu Chenshuang didn't know yet that her actions today actually helped her get divorced. Her luck was incredible.
