Gu Yu raised her head and looked at him. She could win the favor of Princess Songyang. Dong Changmao was naturally good-looking, but his slender brows revealed calculations, and the fake aloofness created by the slightly drooped corners of his mouth was even more annoying.
Thinking of what was about to happen, Gu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Young master Dong, you are welcome. Come sit next to me and let's have a good chat."
Seeing her smile like this, Dong Changmao melted like ice and snow in an instant. His future brother-in-law was really good-looking. Since Miss Gu San was her sister, she must be very beautiful as well. If the third Miss Gu family was obedient after entering the house, he would
It doesn’t hurt to pamper him a lot.
Gu Yu sat in the upper seat, Xiao Xingzhi was on her left, and Dong Changmao took a seat on her right.
Looking at the students who came to toast Gu Yu one after another, Dong Changmao couldn't help but feel a little carried away, as if those compliments were meant for him.
The people had almost arrived, the necessary greetings had been said, and the small talk in the boat started with Gu Yu's announcement.
This symposium was held for Jiangnan students. Although they were not the protagonists, it did not prevent everyone from having the idea of making a splash at the symposium.
During the mutual debate, Dong Changmao often wanted to speak to show off his knowledge, but Xiao Xingzhi would interrupt him or make inappropriate sneers.
After doing this several times, Dong Changmao was very angry. When he saw Gu Yu playing with the wine glass out of boredom, he couldn't suppress his desire to compete for the limelight.
It was his turn for another debate. He stood up and talked about his views, which attracted everyone's praise. When he was getting excited, Xiao Xingzhi stretched himself and let out a long yawn.
Dong Changmao's face turned green and red in turns. Looking at everyone holding back laughter, his younger brother Dong Changfang's fair and fat face turned red.
He couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I don't know if there is anything I said incorrectly. Prince Xiao can point it out."
Xiao Xingzhi said lazily: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Today I am just accompanying Prince Gu to be influenced by you scholars. You can chat without worrying about me."
Dong Changmao glanced at Gu Yu and wanted his future brother-in-law to say a few words for him. At least Xiao Xingzhi was brought by Gu Yu, so he must be restrained.
But before Gu Yu noticed the gesture in his eyes, Xiao Xingzhi picked up a wine glass and said, "Come on, Gu Yu, let's have a drink."
Gu Yu touched him, drank the wine in one gulp, then raised her slightly blurred eyes and said, "What Mr. Dong just said was very good, why don't you continue."
After all, after hearing half a compliment from Gu Yu, Dong Changmao scolded Xiao Xingzhi in his heart for being insulting and polite, and wanted to continue what he had just said.
At this time, the sound of the piano suddenly came from outside, like a complaint, it was endless, and I was intoxicated when I heard it.
Gu Yu gave Xiao Xingzhi a look, and Xiao Xingzhi immediately understood, stood up, opened the door of the boat, and shouted: "Who is playing the piano?"
A maid came out from the upper level of the boat and responded: "It's Miss Lan Yan from Fei Restaurant."
Xiao Xingzhi pretended to be a dandy and came up and shouted: "I would like to ask Miss Lanyan to come down and talk about it. The price is easy to talk about."
Everyone present had strange expressions when they heard this. The girl Lan Yan in Fei Restaurant was unattainable. How could she dare to say this without the confidence to spend a fortune.
Moreover, Lan Yan's Three Questions also made many Kyoto scholars admire her. They all wanted to meet Miss Lan Yan through her Three Questions, and also gain the reputation of a romantic and talented person.
Sure enough, the maid thumped downstairs, reached their floor, knelt down and said: "If you want to see our girl, you must answer three questions within the time of burning incense. Only when our girl is satisfied with the answers can you enter the room."
See."
Xiao Xingzhi said: "Why don't you ask three questions? I don't care about that. If you let her come down, you will be given a lot of money."
Dong Changfang in the crowd was trembling with anger after hearing this. Xiao Xingzhi wore gold and silver and had the habits of a nouveau riche. If Miss Lanyan was forced by power and agreed to Xiao Xingzhi, what would she do?
.
He couldn't help but think of his encounter with Miss Lan Yan a few days ago.
At that time, he had just returned home after drinking with his friends. He accidentally bumped into a woman on the road. The woman's veil fell, revealing a beautiful face, which immediately made him fascinated.
The maid next to the woman exclaimed: "Girl, put on the veil quickly." Then she scolded him, "This young man is so rude."
He returned to God and apologized again and again: "It was my fault and I offended the girl."
Lan Yan put on her veil, shook her head slightly, and said to the maid, "Let's go." After walking a few steps, she looked back at him, her expressions filled with emotion, which made people's hearts ripple.
When Lan Yan had gone far away, he was still in a daze, and the drinking buddy next to him joked to him: "You are very lucky. You have taken a look at the beautiful face of Miss Lan Yan, whom no one else would have spent a lot of money to see."
From that day on, he couldn't help but think of Miss Lan Yan. In the past, he only knew how to fight cocks and walk birds, and had no knowledge or skills. But the good thing is that he didn't look for flowers and willows.
Just like his mother said, he seemed to have suddenly enlightened.
In order to meet Miss Lan Yan, he frequently went to Fei Restaurant.
It's a pity that every time, I was blocked by Miss Lanyan's three questions.
Dong Changfang was angry at Xiao Xingzhi's frivolity towards Lan Yan and said without thinking: "Prince Xiao, Miss Lan Yan has a noble character. To see her, you need to answer these three questions first. Even if you don't have enough knowledge, don't open your mouth and blaspheme me with money."
she."
Xiao Xingzhi saw Dong Changfang's chubby figure, looking like a puffer fish because of anger. He was really stupid and innocent. Thinking of Gu Yu's next arrangement, he secretly gave Dong Changfang a sympathetic look.
Gu Yu sat behind and said, "Okay, Mr. Dong is right. If you sincerely want to meet Miss Lanyan, you might as well try to answer these three questions."
Xiao Xingzhi waved his hand: "You don't know me yet, but you get a headache when you read the book."
Then he turned to face the crowd and said: "But everyone here is a scholar, so you will definitely be able to answer these three questions. Come on, come on, future ministers of the Yu Dynasty, let's try it together."
Gu Yu also said: "Everyone, the talk is about to begin. It would be a good thing if we could become famous through Miss Lanyan's three questions."
Everyone was so excited by what they said that the maid smiled, took out a small piece of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to the waiter on the boat. The waiter quickly copied out a stack and distributed it.
Dong Changmao couldn't help but frown when he saw the note handed to him immediately. He was still in the period of filial piety, and his future brother-in-law was also nearby, so he shouldn't be involved in this matter.
Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Gu Yu say to him, "It doesn't matter, the girls in Fei Restaurant are all pure and elegant prostitutes, so they can't be considered as breaking the rules. Besides, Miss Lan Yan is very high-spirited. I'll tell you whether I see you or not. Just answer with confidence."
, if it can really pass and become famous when the symposium is held, my sister is not an unreasonable person."
Dong Changmao was excited by Gu Yu's praise, and thought of his brother Dong Changfang's love for the girl Lan Yan, and couldn't help but feel the desire to win.
