Everyone looked up and saw that the person speaking was none other than Jiang Liu from before.
Wen Qingzhu stood on the stage, looking down at him indifferently.
This guy is evil and wants to cause trouble.
Jiang Liu looked at County Master Pingshu with a smile, and then his eyes rested on Wen Qingzhu for a moment.
Finally, he raised his hand and said to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, eldest princess, why not let the ministers join in."
The eldest princess was surprised, and after pondering for a moment: "Sixth Young Master is also happy and kind-hearted?"
These words are very straightforward. The young masters from the aristocratic families who came here today are basically here for Ping Shu.
However, he was the first one like Jiang Liu who had a relatively high status and took the initiative to stand up and compete.
Jiang Wuyang, who grew up in the palace since childhood, thinks about many more things than others.
Jiang Liu is the direct grandson of the Zhenguo family.
Although he is not the eldest grandson, he is still a very valued one.
If he really liked Ping Shu, he would never jump out at this time.
So Jiang Wuyang decided to ask him straight to the point.
Jiang Liu shook his head, his eyes stopped on Wen Qingzhu, and he said affectionately: "I am very pleased with Miss Wen Qi. When I met her today, I fell in love with her at first sight. I can't help but want to make this beauty smile."
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were still very indifferent. Jiang Zi'ang was very ambitious.
He jumped out at this time, probably because of Jiang Yuancheng.
After scanning the male guests, Wen Qingzhu saw a familiar shadow.
Although he was sitting in a cubicle, blocked by a bead curtain, Wen Qingzhu recognized him at a glance.
Jiang Yuancheng, what do you want to do
The eldest princess did not expect that Jiang Liu would actually fall in love with Wen Qingzhu.
Looking at Wen Qingzhu in a blink of an eye, he found that she had her head lowered and seemed not to be affected.
However, in order to respect her opinion, Jiang Wuyang decided to ask her: "Miss Wen, is your mother here today?"
"Princess Hui, the daughter's mother has passed away many years ago, and her father has not remarried yet. The marriage is decided by her father." Wen Qingzhu said clearly.
Jiang Wuyang understood, turned to look at Jiang Liu and said: "Miss Wen's marriage is decided by her father. If Mr. Jiang really likes her, why not go to the Wen family to propose marriage in person?"
Jiang Liu seemed to be hesitating about the information, so he only raised his hand and continued: "Your Highness, the time is right, the minister will naturally propose marriage. Today's competition is just to show Miss Wen his talent."
Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, in addition to choosing a husband for their daughters, many ladies and daughters are here to choose a suitable son-in-law. Vice versa, many young men and young masters with low status also want to see if they have a suitable wife. .
Jiang Wuyang thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Yes."
A quarter of an hour later, the game started.
The Lord of Pingshu County is well known for his strong martial arts skills.
So the martial arts challenge was put at the end.
The first level is a test of poetry and poetry.
The questions have been prepared a long time ago, and Wen Qingzhu and the other three were sitting on the left side of the stage.
The host steward announced the first topic.
Impromptuly compose a poem about a goose.
The first young man who came to the stage confidently, when he heard this question, the corner of his mouth twitched immediately.
I couldn't choose from all kinds of beautiful scenery and elegant things, but I chose the singing goose.
After half an hour, only three people had produced a poem.
Among them was Jiang Liu.
The other two people, one named Lu Lei, had thick eyebrows, big eyes, wheat-colored skin, and a strong build. He looked like a military general.
One is named Lei Xiushan, who is handsome, tall, and looks gentle and elegant.
Wen Qingzhu doubted that Lei Xiushan was a relative of Lei Shuo.
She looked at Lei Shuo quietly.
Unexpectedly, Lei Shuo looked back immediately and nodded seriously.
Wen Qingzhu looked away and looked at the handsome man, who turned out to be Lei Shuo's relative.
Jiang Wuyang, who was sitting in the main seat, had a headache and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Why were so many people eliminated from the beginning
The narrator, Concubine Xia, noticed Jiang Wuyang's thoughts and comforted her softly: "The Princess of Pingshu County is not an ordinary rich lady. Since she asked this question, she must have considered it. Look, this is not a screening. Two people?"
As for Jiang Liu, Concubine Xia simply ignored him.
"I hope so." The eldest princess could only try to cheer herself up.
Except for Jiang Liu, one looked like a military commander and the other looked like a scholar.
Jiang Wuyang hoped that the one who was a scholar would win.
After all, the Liang family married her as a princess. In order to avoid suspicion, the Liang family lost one of their best sons.
He should have shown his talents in the officialdom.
Therefore, Jiang Wuyang hoped that her daughter's husband would be a talented and capable scholar.
On the other side of the arena, Lord Pingshu stared straight at the general among them, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lu Lei scratched his head and chuckled: "County Master, I really don't know poetry, but I wrote two poems about chanting geese when I was a child, and I happened to use them today."
"Hmph!" County Master Pingshu snorted coldly, stopped looking at him, and ordered the butler to announce the second question.
The second question was about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was asked by three people from Pingshu County Lord's side.
When the butler finished speaking, he stepped aside.
At the same time, County Master Pingshu and Lei Shuo both turned to look at Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu was startled: "Don't you ask the question first?"
County Lord Pingshu said honestly: "What Lei Shuo and I know is too simple. They must know that the third aunt said that you read a lot of books and saw famous calligraphy and painting, so I found you."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and looked up at the three people in front of him.
Jiang Liu is here to cause trouble, Lu Lei seems to know the head of Pingshu County, and the other young man is a relative of Lei Shuo.
Now that he is here, he must be interested in the county lord.
But at present, it seems that the county master does not know about Lei Xiushan.
Is there any way to eliminate Jiang Liu and let these two people stay
Jiang Liu was quite knowledgeable. After all, the main reason why the Duke of Zhen allowed him to do such nonsense was because Jiang Liu had the capital to do so.
Even if he is asked to take the scientific examination, there will be no problem at all.
"County Lord, is there anyone you like?" Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and decided to ask Ping Shu in a low voice.
County Lord Pingshu glanced sideways at the person over there and shook his head without hesitation: "No!"
"Then the question I gave is too difficult, will the eldest princess mind?" Wen Qingzhu was still a little worried.
When County Master Pingshu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you really make them all eliminated?"
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu responded softly.
Jiang Liu looked at Wen Qingzhu's expression and suddenly had a bad premonition about China.
It seemed like he shouldn't have come up here, as if he was going to be embarrassed.
However, he glanced sideways at the two people around him, and they were both looking good.
Wen Qingzhu probably wouldn't let all of them be eliminated.
Just as he was thinking this, Wen Qingzhu over there had already written the topic.
After handing the question to Hong Hu, Hong Hu turned around and handed it over to the announced manager.
When the steward saw this question, his expression condensed. Is this really a question
Although he felt weird in his heart, he still read it out word for word.
"May I ask what paintings the calligrapher Mr. Zhuang has?"
As soon as this question came up, many people started whispering.
Mr. Zhuang is a calligrapher and has done very few paintings. The only one known so far is a picture of an outing.
It is currently being collected in the palace, and almost everyone present knows it.
This question is both popular and unfamiliar, and I have to say that it is really clever.
Jiang Liu had been to the Wen family and naturally knew that Mrs. Wen had received a picture of hundreds of flowers from Mr. Zhuang.
This picture of hundreds of flowers was given by Wen Qingzhu.
But Wen Qingzhu will definitely target him. Mr. Zhuang definitely has more than just a picture of hundreds of flowers.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu began to think.
What other paintings does Mr. Zhuang have
He is a calligrapher and painter with very few paintings, so it should not be difficult to know.
But precisely because there are so few paintings, it is more difficult to say which ones he had.
Jiang Liu's face darkened. Wen Qingzhu was really deliberately trying to embarrass him.
He looked sideways and saw that Lu Lei was scratching his head and looking like he didn't know anything at all.
But the other Lei Xiushan was thinking seriously, as if he knew something.
Jiang Wuyang on the stage also began to think: "Mr. Zhuang's paintings? Apart from an outing painting, are there any other paintings?"
Concubine Xia next to her suddenly thought of something Wan Ze said. The Wen family had a painting of hundreds of flowers by Mr. Zhuang.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Wen Qingzhu.
At the last Mrs. Wen’s birthday party, Wan Ze said that Jiang Liu had been to the Wen family
Then Jiang Liu must know more about the Hundred Flowers Picture than anyone else.
Is it possible that Wen Qingzhu really likes Jiang Liu and is deliberately letting off steam
After hesitating for a moment, Concubine Xia said to Jiang Wuyang: "Your Highness, the Wen family also has a painting of hundreds of flowers by Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Jiang Sixth knows about it."
"Huh?" Jiang Wuyang had the same idea as Concubine Xia.
Over here on the stage.
Lei Xiushan moved. He walked to the housekeeper, picked up a pen and wrote down his answer.
Jiang Liu's face darkened. Could it be that he really wanted to be humiliated by an unknown person
no!
With so many people here, he couldn't be like Lu Lei and write nothing.
Jiang Liu turned around and walked to the housekeeper. After thinking for a moment, he wrote down the Outing Picture and the Hundred Flowers Picture.
Half an hour later, the housekeeper asked Lu Lei: "Mr. Lu, do you have an answer?"
Lu Lei said with a sad face: "This question is too difficult, I don't know any of it."
Hearing this, County Master Pingshu rolled his eyes: "Ignorant and reckless man."
Wen Qingzhu listened to County Master Pingshu's words, but did not find that she had any ill intentions towards Lu Lei.
Could it be that Lord Pingshu likes Lu Lei
Wen Qingzhu didn't quite understand.
Hearing Lu Lei's words, the housekeeper was speechless.
But he still had to announce the answer.
"Mr. Jiang wrote pictures of outings and pictures of hundreds of flowers."
Jiang Wuyang on the other side of the curtain frowned. Is this Wen Qingzhu really letting things slip on purpose
But what the butler said next made everyone give up this idea.
"Mr. Lei wrote pictures of outings, pictures of hundreds of flowers, and pictures of Antarctic immortals celebrating their birthdays."
"An Antarctic Immortal's Birthday Celebration Picture?"
"Is this painting really there?"
"It's not a lie, is it?"
"It's impossible! He wrote it all!"
"Does anyone know about this Antarctic immortal's birthday celebration picture?"
…
The guests below the table began to discuss, and many of them learned it from their true talents.
But no one is sure that this picture of an Antarctic fairy celebrating his birthday actually exists.
At this moment, a voice came from a cubicle over there, a male guest.
"Mr. Zhuang does have this picture of an Antarctic immortal celebrating his birthday."
"Who are you? How can you be so sure!"
"That's right! It's not that Lei Xiushan's entrustment, right?"
People kept questioning the person who spoke.
At this moment, a person came out of the compartment.
When everyone took a look, this person turned out to be the fifth prince Jiang Yuancheng.
Those who had questioned him before suddenly shut up and even lowered their heads and backed away slowly, for fear that Jiang Yuancheng would notice him.
Jiang Wuyang on the other side of the curtain naturally saw Jiang Yuancheng.
She knew Jiang Yuancheng was here, but she didn't expect that he would agree with Lei Xiushan's answer.
Jiang Yuancheng raised his head and looked at Wen Qingzhu.
Only then did everyone realize that this question was raised by Wen Qingzhu.
Then she must know the answer, and the housekeeper also walked over.
"Miss Wen, are the answers of these two young masters correct?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't expect Jiang Yuancheng to come out at this time, but she still had to say what needed to be said.
She replied quietly: "None of their answers are correct."
"How is that possible!" Someone else started to question below the stage.
However, at this time, in another cubicle, a voice as gentle as the wind replied: "It is indeed incorrect."
