MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 14 wins and losses

Chapter 14 14. Victory or defeat

“The lady, lady, has a body like a box, unicorn scissors, and eight hairpins.” She read out the lantern riddle loudly and said the answer smugly, “It’s a crab!”

After saying this, he looked at Liang Luo next to him and saw that her face was ashen, and he felt very happy.

 “Stop reading, finish guessing earlier so that you won’t be embarrassed!”

"yes."

Wei Lanxuan is older than them all, and she respects her in terms of power and status. Now that she has spoken, Liang Luo naturally has nothing to say and immediately lowers his head to solve the lantern riddles.

On the other side, Feng Jinyao got "Looking South to the Lone Star and the Rising Moon".

This was a bit difficult. She didn't have much knowledge in lantern riddles. After gesticulating in her mind for a moment, she opened her eyes, picked up her pen, and quickly wrote the word "zhuang".

Xu Mingyue quickly guessed three more answers to the riddles. After writing the answers, she lowered her head and saw the riddles and answers in Feng Jinyao's hand.

His eyes lit up, and he said to Feng Jinyao with some surprise, "My sister is very talented, and even I may not be able to guess the answer to this riddle."

“Sister Xu, you’re welcome. You guessed four in a row. I just thought of one. In the end, you are the better one.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll say the compliments later, guess quickly, they’ll all be guessing later.” Bai Siruo said anxiously, and then quickly stuffed the remaining few into their hands.

On the other side, Wei Lanxuan and Bai Sihan guessed the riddles at the same speed. Until the last one, when they reached out to the lantern riddle at the same time, Bai Sihan pretended to be unsteady and staggered, and then Wei Lanxuan took the lantern riddle. in hand.

 “The spring days are short, one person is far away, far from the center of the lake, and the moon is close to each other.”

Wei Lanxuan finished reciting the lantern riddle, but she had no answer in her mind. What could it be?

 Then he looked at Wen and Liang. They also shook their heads, unable to guess.

Seeing that Xu Mingyue had already written down the last answer, Liang Luo was so anxious that he twisted the veil, right? Are they going to lose?

 Just listen to Bai Sihan whisper in Wei Lanxuan's ear, "It's the erhu."

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Wei Lanxuan's eyes lit up and she immediately started writing. Unfortunately, she was a little short in the end. Everyone present could testify that Xu Mingyue stopped writing earlier than she did.

The eldest daughter of Zheng Guogong took the list of answers and matched them one by one, and the winner was quickly determined.

“Both the white and purple teams won the ten questions, the red team won nine questions, and the yellow team won seven questions. But the white team completed it first, so the white team won the lantern riddle contest.”

 The results were announced and no one doubted them.

 After all, Xu Mingyue's reputation as a talented woman is known throughout Jin Dynasty, so it is not shameful to lose to her.

Wei Lanxuan only looked embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself and stepped forward to congratulate them.

“I have heard from my grandfather that Elder Xu Ge shocked the Jin Dynasty. I didn’t expect Miss Xu to be so powerful. Lan Xuan admires her and is convinced that she lost.”

  She admitted it generously, and Bai Siruo had a better impression of her.

Unlike Wen Yuwei and Liang Luo next to them, one stared at her like a black-eyed chicken, and the other stared at Feng Jinyao like a poisonous snake and beast. I wonder if they thought they had any deep hatred.

Xu Mingyue did not shirk and nodded with a smile.

 She may be a bit modest about other things, but when it comes to talent and learning, she is somewhat arrogant. After all, she has a solid foundation.

　　The jackpot was handed over to Bai Siruo. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Liang Luo with a bit of scorn in her eyes, as if she was not very capable but spoke volumes.

Liang Luo blushed with embarrassment and glared angrily. He wanted to teach him a lesson but was frightened away by Wei Lanxuan's look.

"In that case, I won't disturb you all. Let's go to the banquet first. I heard that today's chef was specially invited and he is good at making tea and rice. I'm a little greedy."

"Sister Wei, you're welcome, please." After Bai Siruo said this, he motioned for the girl to take them first, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Sihan, the threat in his eyes was self-evident. However, Wei Lanxuan didn't notice her anger and took Bai Sihan away with her for the first time.

Bai Sihan gave Bai Siruo a proud smile, then turned to look respectful again.

Looking at the beautiful figures as they left, Bai Siruo's silver teeth were about to be broken.

"This idiot, I knew she had no good intentions. She has been dressed up in a flashy way since she got up this morning. I didn't expect that she would hide this trick! I thought that after climbing up to the top of the Wei family, she could still be allowed to be a member of the Wei family. Isn’t it a woman?”

 “Cousin, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth.”

Feng Jinyao spoke seriously, pulled her sleeves, shook her head slightly, and signaled her to stop talking.

“There are many people here and you should restrain your temper.” Xu Mingyue also agreed.

The two tried to persuade each other, but Bai Siruo had no choice but to give up.

 Fortunately, she won this face, and her face was bright, so she handed it to Xu Mingyue like a treasure.

"Although I don't like your future sister-in-law, I heard that Mr. Liang is a good person. I will use this gift to wish you a long life together and be united forever."

With eyes full of fun, Xu Mingyue let out a laugh and the tense and serious atmosphere dissipated instantly.

good?

The Liang family has really worked **** their reputation. Even Bai Siruo, a concubine who doesn't go out often, knows that he has a good reputation.

Feng Jinyao felt a cold snort in her heart.

 With a sister and a father like this, how could Mr. Liang be a good person?

If he was really a good person, why would he break off the engagement and marry another one? It caused the Xu family to lose face.

 Xu Mingyue is a person she has made sincerely. In this case, she naturally wants to protect her from causing harm to the troublemaker. She can cancel the engagement, but it must be the Xu family's decision.

As for Mr. Liang, he certainly has a "good reputation" waiting for him!

He had a plan in mind but didn't show it on his face. He said to the two of them, "Why don't we go there too, lest there won't be enough people at the table and my aunts will be busy."

Bai Siruo nodded, she had not forgotten that today was her grandmother's birthday, and she would settle the scores later on when she was fighting with other people.

 In the Nuan Pavilion, a banquet was being held at the moment.

Even His Majesty knew about Mrs. Bai's sixtieth birthday and sent her personal father-in-law to send a congratulatory gift. A white jade Ruyi left over from the late emperor's time. At the same time, Mrs. Bai was given the title of first-grade imperial concubine, with the addition of Huiming in front. Two words.

 As a result, everyone changed their words and called her "Old Madam Huiming".

Such an honor, Manchujin couldn't find the second one. Everyone congratulated the Bai family for a while, and they were both holy and new.

Only Feng Jinyao knew that this was just burning oil.

　　How beautiful you are today, how miserable you will be tomorrow.

 Thinking about what Emperor Qi did to the Bai family in his previous life, looking at the jade Ruyi was really dazzling.

Suddenly, a burst of lively cheers made Feng Jinyao frown.
