Their eyes met, and Du Siyin's face turned pale instantly. The two people opposite were not Lu Zhilan and Mo Zi'an, who else!
Seeing Xu Ting, Lu Zhilan's expression instantly sank, obviously she still remembered the enemy who lived in Yunshang that day.
It was Mo Zian who greeted first, "Xu Shinu, Mr. Du."
Suddenly there was such an exclamation from around, no wonder! They were also surprised that someone was so good at kung fu, if it was Xu Ting, the daughter of the prince of the town, it would not be surprising.
Xu Shinu, the daughter of Xuxun, the king of the town, is of course very good at kung fu!
Everyone immediately felt admiration.
Before Yunshangju slandered Mo Zian, and now he robbed their lantern, the new enmity added to the old hatred made Lu Zhilan hate Xu Ting even more, and said bluntly: "Xu Shinu, that is our lantern, you It would be too much to snatch it directly.”
Xu Ting was simply baffled, and at the same time felt Du Siyin's tense body instantly, reminding her of Lu Zhilan's harm to Du Siyin, and she was in a very bad mood.
"Miss Lu, you must speak with discretion. It is not a gentleman's job to slander people with empty teeth. Hedeng is the lottery I won, and everyone present can testify."
"That's right! This river lantern was obviously won by Xu Shinv!"
"We've all seen it!"
The people around all agreed, they had witnessed Xu Ting's superb skills and hit the bull's-eye with one arrow, so of course they were willing to support Xu Ting.
Everyone said so, and Lu Zhilan also knew that she had no reason to question Xu Ting, so she became a little annoyed, and asked the stall owner, "You have promised to sell the river lamp to us, and this lady even paid three times the high price. Why hang up this river lantern as a prize?"
The stall owner complained and refused to give it away. She never thought that someone could win this river lantern. Lu Zhilan and Mo Zian did agree to buy this river lantern before, and they paid three times the price, but it will take a while Just come to get it.
After all, it is not convenient to play while holding the river lantern.
The stall owner should put away this river lantern, because she has promised to sell it to Lu Zhilan, but she is reluctant to bear the traffic that this river lantern attracts, thinking that no one will be able to win it away, so she just hangs it up and doesn't put it away.
Who would have thought that Xu Ting would come and win the river lantern away with one arrow. The stall owner didn't dare not give it away, so she could only wait for Xu Ting and Du Siyin to leave, and when Lu Zhilan and Mo Zian came over, she used the excuse that someone used a higher price bought.
She was in a small business, and the noble girls in the capital insisted on buying it, but she couldn't help it. Lu Zhilan and Mo Zian couldn't blame her anyway.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ting and Lu Zhilan bumped into each other directly!
The stall owner regrets it very much now, if he knew she would not be greedy for such petty gains, he would be so careful!
A daughter of the prince of the town, a daughter of Lu Shangshu's concubine, neither of which she can offend, the stall owner can only bite the bullet and say: "I am very sorry, Miss Lu, although we promised you in advance, but we only agreed verbally." , seeing that Ms. Lu hasn't come for a long time, the villain is worried that Ms. Lu has taken a fancy to other river lanterns again. After all, there are many lanterns on Shierqiao Street that are better than the villain's.
Ms. Lu is so rich that she can definitely afford any lantern she wants to buy, but it would be a pity for the villain to throw this river lantern into her hands. It happened that Xu Shi'er visited the villain and hit the bull's-eye again. Mr. Du liked this river lantern, so the villain boldly gave it to Shi'er.
The villain really didn't mean it! Please forgive me, Miss Lu. "
When she said that, Lu Zhilan couldn't hold onto her any longer, and immediately frowned.
But this river lamp is what Mo Zian likes, otherwise she would not buy it from a small vendor. There are several big shops selling river lamps on Twelfth Bridge Street, which one is better than this small vendor
"Xu Shinu, how much do you pay! Can you sell this river lantern to me?"
Xu Ting replied coldly: "Does this woman seem to be short of that little money?"
The most conceited thing in Lu Zhilan's life is that she is talented in business and can make money. Xu Ting's words undoubtedly offended her again!
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Mo Zian suddenly stopped Lu Zhilan, grabbed her hand to calm her down, and said to Xu Ting: "Mr. I don’t want to cause an oolong due to the stall owner’s mistake, since you don’t want to sell it, why don’t we decide its ownership in another way?”
"We competed in guessing lantern riddles. If the world daughter wins, this river lantern will belong to you. If we win, this river lantern will belong to us. It is also a good talk."
Lu Zhilan's eyes lit up, and she felt that Mo Zian was really smart and decent, and he had the ability to advance and retreat, and he was indeed the person she liked.
In comparison, Du Siyin, who was huddled beside Xu Ting, and her former fiancé, who she divorced, looked like a dodder flower.
She despises such a delicate and impersonal man in the world of female queens.
"How about it, do Xu Shinv dare to compare?"
Du Siyin was annoyed because he had no feelings for Lu Zhilan, so even if Lu Zhilan divorced and put him in such a situation, he had no resentment towards Lu Zhilan.
And Mo Zi'an, who was pursued by Lu Zhilan, seemed even more innocent to him. If it were any other man, he would definitely hate Mo Zian, but he knew very well that he couldn't blame Mo Zian for this matter.
But now, these two people clearly intend to bully Xu Ting.
Mo Zi'an's proposal sounds reasonable and fair, but Lu Zhilan's elder sister is second in the list of criminal records, and Lu Zhilan herself is also a noble daughter who was raised according to the model of the family!
These aristocratic ladies in the capital come to a poetry meeting every now and then, and even if they drink wine, they have to ask questions and guess riddles. They may not have real talents and learning, but they know the most about fun things. How can court compare
They wanted Xu Ting to make a fool of himself! Du Siyin suddenly hated Lu Zhilan very much.
It is not that Mo Zian does not have some secret and dark thoughts deep in his heart. He is the son of a merchant and has an ugly appearance, while Du Siyin is the son of Shang Shu's legitimate son and is sought after as the fourth son of the capital.
In the past, Mo Zi'an was absolutely inferior to him, and he could only envy him from a distance, but Du Siyin's fiancée divorced, and later came to pursue him. pleasure.
Later, Du Siyin fell into malicious rumors and slanders, and he even held a kind of arrogant pity.
He had Lu Zhilan's love, so he won over Du Siyin, but unexpectedly, Du Siyin turned around and was given a marriage to Xu Ting, who had a higher status than Lu Zhilan.
No matter how high the status of Xu Ting is, she is just a warrior woman. She must be inferior to Lu Zhilan in terms of talent and learning.
Thinking of it this way, the vague sourness in Mo Zi'an's heart disappeared a lot.
"Okay." Xu Ting agreed without hesitation.
Du Siyin was in a hurry, he didn't want Xu Ting to make a fool of himself and be looked down upon by Lu Zhilan, a person like Xu Ting should be admired and respected.
But Xu Ting has already agreed, and Du Siyin has to let Xu Ting compete with Lu Zhilan, otherwise he will be ridiculed and looked down upon by Lu Zhilan, and there may be rumors that Xu Ting is timid towards Lu Zhilan.
Du Siyin was in a hurry, and suddenly came up with a solution...
"Okay! Then I will come up with the question. If Xu Shinu answers correctly, the river lantern will be yours. If you can't answer it, please give us the river lantern."
Xu Ting: "Tell me."
Lu Zhilan thought for a while, and came up with a lantern riddle that Xu Ting would never be able to guess. She tilted her head and assured Mo Zi'an, "Don't worry, Zi'an, I will definitely win the He Deng to you."
Mo Zi'an nodded slightly at her.
"Looking south at the lone star, the eyebrows are rising and the moon is rising. Guess a word, Xu Shinv please."
The spectators around suddenly became noisy and whispered to each other. Some talented women even began to think while knocking on their fans.
"This lantern riddle is so difficult!"
"Can you guess it?"
"I can't guess."
"Unexpectedly, Ms. Lu is not only talented in business, but also good at learning!"
"That's not true. If you don't think about it, Miss Lu's elder sister won the Jinshi, the second place hand-picked by the Holy One!"
