Chapter 117: The Minister's Daughter, Heartbroken Guo Qianqian



After finishing speaking, the gentleman will make comments and give some pointers.

This is a good opportunity for talented people to show themselves.

The first name Master Yuan revealed was the tenth on the list.

The result was actually Luo Zheng.

Guo Qianqian was extremely happy to see that her cousin was so capable and made the list.

She smiled so brightly, she was even happier than if she were on the list herself.

After Luo Zheng showed off, Master Yuan continued to announce the results.

Several people were revealed one after another, but Lu Qian's name was not on the list.

Lu Qian was a little worried, thinking that he might not be able to make the list, but his grandfather had given him guidance, so there should be no problem.

The list was revealed until the fourth one, Lu Qian.

The chubby young man grinned. This ranking was very good and it would be easy to leave an impression on the gentleman.

However, what the fat young man did not notice was that among the beauties opposite him, there was a pair of eyes that kept looking at him.

His eyes were burning, like a wolf or a tiger.

After Lu Qian came down, Master Yuan continued to announce the results.

As expected, the first place was Jiang Hai's copied lyrics.

Yuchi Shuang couldn't help but say: "I knew my brother-in-law could do it. Sure enough, he made the list and won first place."

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it seriously. At this time, in addition to the sisters next to Yuchi Shuang, there was also a woman standing closer to her who heard it.

This woman is quite good-looking. Although she is not as good-looking as the eldest lady, she is better than most of the women present.

She walked closer and asked Yuchi Shuang, "May I know your name, young lady? Is Mr. Gao your brother-in-law?"

Yuchi Shuang was simple-minded and answered her questions naturally, even a little bit arrogant.

As a die-hard fan of my brother-in-law, I was very happy to hear someone asking about his words. I started chatting with her.

"What's your name, sister?"

"Su Yanan, my father is Master Su Ning."

It turned out that she was the daughter of the Minister of Personnel.

However, Yuchi Shuang did not know her father. She just wrote down his name and would ask her mother when she got home.

Su Yanan was not caught up in the literary battle with Jiang Hai just now, but was attracted by the word. Out of curiosity, she went to Yuchi Shuang to inquire.

But she knew that Yuchi Zhong was a general, so she also knew that the person who wrote this poem was the general's son-in-law.

She thought to herself that it must be the man who had been rumored to have traveled thousands of miles to pick up the bride.

After all, several of Jiang Hai's poems had been spread by his sister-in-law before.

Master Yuan had been announcing the results for a long time, but the so-called Master Gao didn't come up.

At this time, many people looked at each other in confusion and asked,

"Where is Master Gao?"

Only the group of women who had just chased Jiang Hai knew that they had left the garden.

"Mr. Gao has already left the garden. I'm afraid he has gone back." Someone who knew the situation said this.

"What a shame! I wanted to see Master Gao."

Many people expressed their feelings, both men and women.

When Master Yuan and the other two above saw that this person did not come, they had no choice but to give up.

At this point, the literary competition came to an end.

The work was hung on the attic wall for people to appreciate, and then the two gentlemen turned around and returned to the attic.

The atmosphere became lively again. The gentlemen were used to it and did not come out to interrupt the conversation between the men and women.

At this time, the talented men on the list naturally attracted the favor of many beautiful women.

They are basically surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, making others envious.

Some of these young ladies were embarrassed to talk to the talented man, so they gave him a handkerchief or a sachet with their names embroidered on it.

Guo Qianqian was puzzled. She was moving too slowly and couldn't even squeeze in to see Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng was in great glory at this time. Although he was ranked tenth, he was still very popular.

He is not bad looking, and can be considered above average, so naturally many young ladies from official families who want to discover potential will like him.

Seeing him surrounded and talking and laughing, Guo Qianqian was alone outside feeling annoyed.

She was so angry that she stamped her feet. He didn't even come out to see her, and he was chatting so happily with so many women.

However, Yuchi Shuang and her group of sisters didn't move much. In the past, Guo Qianqian was the most crazy about them, followed by Yuchi Shuang.

Now that Yuchi Shuang has changed her personality and Guo Qianqian has a cousin, the others didn't go to join in the fun.

Su Yanan, who was next to Yuchi Shuang, did not move either, but just looked at the poems on the list.

She is also a talented woman, and is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

During this period, many talented men wanted to talk to her, but she politely declined them all.

"A raincoat and a straw hat will protect me from the wind and rain in my life... There will be no storm and no clear sky..." Su Yanan read in a low voice.

I think this poem is so good and I can’t write something like it myself.

After a while, the ladies were less enthusiastic and those who needed to give gifts finished giving their gifts and left.

Because Guo Qianqian couldn't squeeze in, she simply sulked outside, thinking that she would scold her when her cousin came over.

At this time, Luo Zheng had finished dealing with this group of enthusiastic beauties and walked over.

Guo Qianqian's eyes regained their tenderness, and her previous anger had almost dissipated as Luo Zheng walked along the way.

Thinking about it, this was normal and the relationship should not be ruined because of it, Guo Qianqian quickly adjusted her attitude.

When Luo Zheng approached, Guo Qianqian took two steps forward and was about to say hello.

"surface……"

Before she could even say the word "brother", Luo Zheng walked past her and headed towards Su Yanan.

Guo Qianqian was stunned for a moment. Luo Zheng was not coming for her, and he didn't see her even though he was so close. His eyes were full of other people.

Heartbreak is sometimes a noun, sometimes an adjective, but what she was experiencing at this time was a verb.

A tear silently slid down from the corner of her eye.

After a short silence, Guo Qianqian left the group of sisters including Yuchi Shuang alone and felt lost.

Without saying goodbye, he left towards the gate of Qingmeng Garden.

Luo Zheng has always treated Guo Qianqian as his cousin and backup, while Su Yanan is his first target.

She is good-looking and her father works in the Ministry of Personnel. For Luo Zheng, being able to hook up with Su Yanan will definitely mean a smooth career in the future.

As he got closer, Luo Zheng saw Su Yanan looking through the list of ten excellent songs that were released tonight.

After thinking about it, I decided to wait until she saw me and then say hello. Then I could find some topics to talk about through my poems.

So I didn't go up to chat with her, but waited for the opportunity.

At this time, Yuchi Shuang called Cai'er and prepared to find her sister and brother-in-law to tell them about the list.

Just as they were about to leave, a man rushed out from the crowd, shouting in panic, "Make way, make way, don't block me."

Yuchi Shuang’s eyes widened. Isn’t this Brother Lu Qian?

Lu Wan was even more confused. What happened to her brother? Why was he so panicked?

Lu Qian didn't even have time to greet them. He ran over in a hurry and went straight to the entrance of Qingmeng Garden.

"Sister Lu Wan, what happened to your elder brother?" Yuchi Shuang asked Lu Wan in confusion.

Lu Wan shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It's strange."

At this time, another figure rushed out from the crowd and chased in the direction where Lu Qian slipped away.

"Mr. Lu, don't go, wait..."
