It turns out that the person in front of me who just guessed the most difficult lantern riddle was Mr. Xu.

To other people, this lamp king is rare. To other people's family, it is just a bigger and better-looking lamp.

It's troublesome to hold.

"Master Xu, please keep it for yourself." Don't say that Feng Qing has no interest in the lamp king. Even if he is, Fang Zheng will not want Xu Yong's lamp even if he tries his best to get it from elsewhere.

He Fang Zheng holds a grudge.

After saying that, regardless of Xu Yong's expression, Fang Zheng took Feng Qing and left.

This was the first time that Xu Yong faced Fang Zheng's concern for Feng Qing. He couldn't tell how he felt.

He just felt that Fang Zheng's too-perfect image in his heart collapsed instantly.

There was a sound of slight footsteps.

"My little lady has met Mr. Xu." If Feng Qing were here, she would recognize the voice of the ubiquitous Miss Cao.

The young lady stepped forward and let the light shine on her face. She turned slightly, revealing her smooth forehead and beautiful profile. Miss Cao did not look directly at Xu Yong. She turned to Xu Yongfu and said, "The little girl's father's name is Cao."

."

Xu Yong never paid attention to these noble ladies. He took two steps back to avoid spreading unreliable rumors with this unknown lady.

"I wonder what the purpose of the lady's special appearance is?" Xu Yong seemed not to notice how beautiful this lady was, and there was no trace of gentleness in his tone.

Miss Cao gritted her teeth secretly. She didn't want to seduce Xu Yong, she just wanted Xu Yong to see that her appearance was not inferior to Feng Qing's.

"My little lady heard what Master Xu just said." She could also hear the impatience in Xu Yong's words, so Miss Cao could only get straight to the point, "To be honest with you, I agree with your words."

After all, Xu Yong had read many books and had been an official for a year, so naturally he would not let Miss Cao lead her away.

Seeing Xu Yong's silence, Cao Jinxiu secretly resented it, but she could only swallow her dissatisfaction and continued gently: "It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines——"

"You also have a crush on Mr. Fang's young lady?" Xu Yong interrupted Cao Jinxiu's preparation and asked directly.

Cao Jin delicately only twisted the handkerchief.

Does this man have no wife?

He couldn't even beat around the bush when he spoke, and he didn't save her face.

Fortunately there was no one around, otherwise I would have been embarrassed again.

Cao Jinxiu quickly looked up and saw Xu Yong frowning. Cao Jinxiu became even more angry and wanted to turn around and leave.

But she had no choice but to shamelessly ask others for help if she wanted to marry into the Fang family.

Cao Jinxiu's face burned fiercely, but she still nodded, "Yes, the little girl has been deeply in love with Master Fang since she met him. If the little girl marries into the Fang family, she will definitely not object to the master taking concubines.

He will even take the initiative to bring in a good concubine for you."

This is naturally not what Cao Jinxiu thinks.

"Raise your head." After a moment of silence, Xu Yong said.

Cao Jinxiu was overjoyed, feeling that Master Xu had been persuaded by her. She hurriedly straightened her hair, raised her head, with the most appropriate smile on her lips, and couldn't help but straighten her body.

After just one glance at Cao Jinxiu, Xu Yong turned away and shook his head, "You can't do that."

"Why?" Cao Jinxiu asked hurriedly.

"Your appearance is very different from Mrs. Fang's." Xu Yong said bluntly, that's not all. Regardless of Cao Jinxiu's expression, he continued: "Your mind is not as good as Mrs. Fang's case."

"Master Xu, what do you mean?" She said that her appearance is not as good as Feng Qing's. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, this is the truth. She cannot agree to say that her mind is not as good as Feng Qing's. She, Cao Jinxiu, is also omnipotent in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Then Feng Qing is just a concubine of a petty official. I'm afraid she hasn't even read a few books. How can she be inferior to a idiot?

Seeing Cao Jinxiu's thoughts at a glance, Xu Yong shook his head again, "What's the use of reading too much? You still have a petty attitude in your behavior. As the emperor said, Mrs. Fang is as open-minded as any man."

Even if Xu Yong didn't agree with what Feng Qing said, he had to admit that Feng Qing was thoughtful and kind-hearted.

The Miss Cao in front of me is much worse. Her little thoughts are invisible to anyone with a discerning eye. Such a shallow-minded and average-looking young lady, even if she has a higher family background than Mrs. Fang, Master Fang will definitely look down on her.

of.

puff--

A laugh came from a corner not far away.

"Who's there?" Cao Jinxiu quickly backed away. She raised her hand and covered her face with a handkerchief.

If there was a hole in the ground at this moment, Miss Cao would definitely get in without saying a word.

She scratched her head and wanted to enter the Fang family, and everyone knew it, but she couldn't stand being laughed at in public, no matter how thick-skinned she was. Thinking of this, Cao Jinxiu covered his face and wanted to leave.

"Hey, Cao Jinxiu, don't leave in a hurry." The man in the darkness came out.

Cao Jinxiu paused. She put down the veil angrily and pointed at the person coming, "Dou Yixia, why is it you again?"

Miss Dou was not annoyed, she put her hands behind her back and still smiled, "I still want to say, why are you everywhere?"

Under the light, Miss Dou's eyes wandered back and forth between Cao Jinxiu and Xu Yong. If those eyes could write, she would have written several story books in the shortest possible time.

"What are you looking at?" Cao Jinxiu took a few steps away from Xu Yong. She didn't like Mr. Xu.

"Look at how busy you are." Miss Dou didn't read much and didn't know many words. As soon as she said this, not only Cao Jinxiuqi's eyes turned red, but Xu Yong frowned in displeasure.

"This lady misunderstood." Xu Yong wanted to explain.

Afraid that Xu Yong would say what he just said in front of Dou Yixia, Cao Jinxiu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Shut up, who is messing around? If you slander me again, I will definitely ask the queen to make the decision for me."

The two had been estranged for a long time. Miss Dou didn't know that Cao Jinxiu was just bluffing. She took a few steps forward and came close to Cao Jinxiu. The tip of her nose was almost touching Cao Jinxiu's. "You go and sue. It's best to make it clear."

If you dare to tell me what is going on in this private meeting with this lord, I will be punished by the Queen."

Cao Jinxiu naturally did not dare.

Miss Dou sneered, "You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, but you still don't admit it."

"you--"

"Mrs. Fang has an extremely beautiful appearance, a gentle temperament, a broad mind, and a magnanimity that no one can match. Look at you again, who can compare to Mrs. Fang?" Miss Dou rolled her eyes, "I act like a clown all day long.

You are jumping up and down in front of Mrs. Fang, if it were not for Mrs. Fang's generosity, you would have been kicked out of the palace by now, and I am afraid that Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao would also be embarrassed."

Miss Dou really looks down on young ladies like Cao Jinxiu who only have eyes for men.

Miss Dou turned to Xu Yong with disapproval, "And this sir, Sir Fang and Mrs. Fang are in harmony, the harp and the piano are playing harmoniously, the family is harmonious, why are you messing with it? Mr. Fang respects Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Fang also loves Fang.

Sir, how suitable are they? If there is one more in the middle——"
