Chapter 184 Relief for her, married son-in-law

With a light pull on the maid's hand, the rules of the competition were revealed. It was very simple. It was a literary talent competition with Li Qiumo. As long as she passed the three competitions, she would be considered a pass.

Master Li looked at the rules, his face became a little gloomy, as if he didn't know it beforehand.

The corners of Xin Ruo's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that this girl from the Li family still had a bit of arrogance in her bones. She dared not disobey her parents' orders, but she couldn't treat herself too badly.

The girls in the boudoir are also not bad in talent. Few of those who are present are able to play. Even if they go to the stage to join in the fun, it is just to make everyone laugh.

Fearing that it would be a rare result, Master Li's face darkened, and he walked over, "Mo'er, didn't it be agreed in advance, what are you doing?"

A sad smile flickered across the corner of Li Qiumo's mouth, holding a pair of scissors in his hand, "My daughter has promised her father to invite her into the ring. If her father insists on forcing her, she would rather splatter blood on the spot."

Master Li put the scissors on her wrist when he saw the scissors, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Okay, you have laid out the rules of the competition, can you not, please put the scissors away quickly, and let outsiders have a meeting and laugh at us Li family."

Li Qiumo just put the scissors away, and couldn't help but smirk sadly at the sentence about losing the Li family's face, didn't they all be thrown away long ago, is there anything left for her to lose?

On the steps over there, there was a young man who came up to the stage. As soon as he came up, he called him Dad.

Xin Ruo listened to Li Qiumo's competition questions, and secretly sighed at her talent. It's a pity that such a talented and beautiful woman ended up like this.

But fortunately, she is smart, using this method, at least it is much better than those blind marriages, and maybe she can choose a good man, but the strict condition of getting married is there, I am afraid it will be... Difficult.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people on the field, but they were all defeated when they opened their mouths.

But those who are really talented are shaking their heads and sighing underneath, if they are not recruiting.

Since the Li family is the richest man in the town, and the girl from the Li family is full of talent and affection, she is known as a virtuous person, and those who beg for mercy are not allowed to step through the threshold of his family. I can only blame the girl from the Li family for suffering.

The competition was still going on, Xin Ruo looked at it, and when he felt that it was not worth much, suddenly a man in his 50s and [-]s climbed up the red carpeted steps with difficulty and walked towards the ring with a cane.

Xin Ruo's eyes widened, it's a toad who wants to eat swan meat, he could be Miss Li's father, and even ran to the ring, how embarrassing is this group of young people.

Can the Li family recruit him to give birth to a child? Xin Ruo wondered uncertainly, and saw Master Li's face was very gloomy, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Xin Ruo was puzzled, could it be that a man cannot be judged by his appearance, this man is very talented?

I just listened to the people around me pointing out: "Miss Li's family is afraid that she will fall down today. This week old master was the first Jinshi in the town. No matter how talented Miss Li is, she can still surpass him. I'm afraid it's true. It's going to be planted, poor, poor!"

This old master Zhou was quite polite, first he bowed to the girl of the Li family, showing that he was not asking for marriage for himself, but for his son.

When Mr. Li heard this, he hurriedly shouted, "Come here, tell him to leave. This is a courteous marriage. It's not for my son to ask for a marriage. Come here soon. You're just dawdling. You want his stupid son to marry me into my Li family." No, a fool wants to marry my daughter too!"

Old Master Zhou's eyes immediately flickered when he heard this, and he threw away his crutches.

"Okay, the old man is married, please ask Miss Li to write a question!"

Those servants of the Li family look at each other and don't know what to do.

The arena is set up, and there are so many people watching, even if the master wants to go back on his word, he won't be able to. Could it be possible that the young lady recruited him into marriage?
Can he bear the sound of father and master?He is half a month older than the master!

Xin Ruo was really dizzy, so she cheered up and listened to Li Qiumo's question. Old Master Zhou really had some real talents, and passed the test with ease. Xin Ruo felt a hopeless chill emanating from the gauze tent.

"Then Miss Li is so pitiful," Zi Lan couldn't help but sigh, if only she could have one-tenth of the happiness of the young mistress.

Marrying an old man will ruin her next life, Zi Lan glanced back and murmured, "No one came to the stage to help her, it's better not to marry for life than marrying an old man!"

After Zilan finished speaking, she turned around and glanced around. They were all crooked melons and dates, but they were younger at least, and she wished to throw someone up. Xin Ruo sighed after hearing this, "Why don't you go up? "

Zilan shook her head repeatedly, "How can a servant have that ability, she may not even be able to understand other people's questions, let alone answer them."

Xin Ruo raised her eyebrows, shook the fan in her hand and asked, "Do you feel sorry for her too?"

Molan and Zilan nodded in succession, they were going to marry a bad old man, that's not pitiful.

When did the young mistress harden her heart? If the young mistress is talented, maybe she can, at least she can help the girl of the Li family escape today's catastrophe.

But what the young mistress dislikes the most is this literary stuff. They have never seen her touch this kind of book. Before she got married, she had listened to the second lady's admonition.

Xin Ruo thought about it, and stepped up the steps. Molan and Zilan were stunned. When they caught up, Xin Ruo was already on the stage. Who told them to stand on the steps? Walked up and down.

Xin Ruo stepped onto the stage, and saw the scissors by Li Qiumo's ear through the tulle, and hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief when she walked over, Xin Ruo was startled, if she didn't come up in time, this Miss Li...could it be true? Do you want to die?

Xin Ruo hurriedly whispered, "If Miss Li doesn't want to marry him, the question will be easier later." But he didn't have that ability.

Li Qiumo was taken aback when she heard that, because Xin Ruo was using a female voice, and the maid beside her also opened her eyes, hurriedly went out to inquire about it, then came back and nodded, she was sure that Xin Ruo was a female, with pierced ears.

Sure enough, after saying hello, Miss Li's question was really simple, and Xin Ruo could handle the two-character couplet.

If there are seven or eight words, or a long list, I can’t even remember them, let alone right, she is not a talented woman, but if it is a fragrant prescription, it is fine, it is a couplet, and Xinruo uses the name of the medicine .

Over there, Mo Lan and Zi Lan heard each other's eyes. Ms. Li must have taken a fancy to their young mistress, otherwise how could she ask such an easy question? Fortunately, the young mistress can handle it.

But it doesn't matter if you can't handle it, the young mistress is wearing men's clothing now, and sure enough, the young mistress is the wisest, so you don't have to worry about losing face.

In the restaurant over there, two familiar people watched while sipping tea, they were Ruan Wenhao and Duan Yu.

Ruan Wenhao propped up his elbows, turned the blue and white engraved teacup with one hand, and looked at the competition stage. The more he looked, the more familiar the people on the stage looked.

Frowning in thought, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly slapped the table, "I remember! Let me tell you why she looks familiar. It turns out that Xiao Yu's wife, Yu, look at it, don't you?"

Duan Yu Ting was stunned, looked up, met Xin Ruo and turned around, only saw a figure from the back, the back of the clothes looked familiar, but he couldn't see the front, so he was not sure.

Ruan Wenhao pointed to Xin Ruo's maid and showed him, "Have you seen that maid? Last time she gave me two bottles of Banyuefang's medicine. She is Xiaoyu's daughter-in-law. I can't be wrong.

Why is she here, and she still participates in other people's competitions to recruit women? Could it be that she still wants to marry someone else's girl? If she is here, Xiaoyu must be there too. Come on, let's see. "

Over there, after Xin Ruo finished answering Li Qiumo's three simple questions, the audience was in an uproar. They all said that Miss Li was unfair, but they had nothing to say, as any fool would know how to choose.

Of course, choose a young and handsome boy who is determined not to lose face, but she is so simple, can she compare with Old Master Zhou?

Everyone opened their eyes and watched, for fear of missing a good show.

Xin Ruo has nothing else but self-knowledge. If Old Master Zhou is really asked to write a question, if it weren't for those few who have been absolutely absolute for ages, or who have shown their faces in the textbooks, needless to say, she would not be able to catch up.

But how could those absolutes appear in this time and space, so we have to preemptively strike.

Xin Ruo cupped her hands and bowed to him, "I don't dare to compete with the master, but I have admired the Li family girl for a long time, and I don't want to hand over to others, but I still hope that the master will show you a noble hand."

Old Master Zhou looked disgusted and contemptuous, literati, where is the arrogance tempered from the book, the most despised are those romantic youths and dudes.

Relying on the glory of his ancestors to run amok and domineering, he immediately turned his face away, expressing that he wanted to compete fairly.

Xin Ruo bowed again, "Then please answer my two questions, Master. If you answer both correctly, I will admit defeat and stop fighting with Master."

Relying on his talent and life experience, Mrs. Zhou didn't need to be afraid of a young man, and besides, he was already old, if he was not allowed to order, he would not be laughed at by outsiders, so he agreed immediately.

Xin Ruo was overjoyed, as long as he agreed, he would lose. Xin Ruo unfolded the jade bone fan and smiled confidently, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

In the small courtyard by the lake, Zhan Moyu is doing reconstruction in the practice room accompanied by Lan Bing, and there are two men standing beside him, reporting the current situation of Banyuefang from time to time.

Suddenly, a black shadow came in from outside, "Master, it's not good, the young mistress has been recruited by the Li family to be her son-in-law!"

The corners of Zhan Moyu's eyes twitched when he heard that, she could really cause trouble, so if she was told not to come back like a prostitute, she would be better off and just go to be a door-to-door son-in-law.

Zhan Moyu hurriedly ordered Lan Bing to push the wheelchair over, and couldn't even take a bath and change clothes, a must-do after the reconstruction every day, so he got into the carriage and ran all the way to Li's mansion.

Xin Ruo only asked one of the two questions, but Old Master Zhou stood there frowning for a long time, struggling for a long time, and didn't give Xin Ruo a chance to ask the next question.

When Xin Ruo's legs were numb, Mr. Zhou faithfully gave up, picked up the crutch that was thrown away on the ground, and limped away.
