C176 (1/2)
Hearing that, Wen Jiu stood up abruptly.
All the servants and attendant s saluted in unison. The young man who walked into the main hall was dressed in a cyan official robe and had an extremely low official level. However, his face was cold and his body was covered in a cold aura.
Xie Xuan slightly bent his head towards the old lady at the main table, his gaze sweeping past Wen Jiu, and finally landing on him.
The cold-faced teenager asked, ”Did royal uncle go through the wrong door?”
”Then what …” The noble officials of the Royal Uncle Yang had never seen him before, but today, they were stumped by this young man's words and almost went through the wrong door.
Seeing that, the court lady hurriedly said: ”This is our family's Third Young Master, right? ”The top scholar of this year's Imperial Examinations is truly a genius among men, like the dragons and the phoenixes.”
The man began to praise endlessly. He smiled and said, ”The top scholar has read many books, so he should know that a man should marry a woman. This is the rule set by the ancestors: if a man wishes to have a bright future, it doesn't matter if he marries later. ”If I miss out on such a good marriage, it will be difficult for me to find her in the future, even with a lantern.
Xie Xuan said expressionlessly: ”You don't want to do anything to others.”
The Third Young Master's words were a bit too concise. Xie Wanjin continued to speak, ”The Fourth Miss of the Residence of the Duke of An is also sixteen years old this year. Since it is difficult to find a husband like the Royal Uncle Yang, how about you two get married together? Everyone is delighted. ”
”You, you brat …” Old Mistress An stood up in anger but suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Wen Jiu immediately had the maid support him.
Her Third Young Master would always keep her mouth shut, every word she said would anger people to death.
Duke An's wife held her forehead as she shouted for a headache.
There was a moment of silence.
Xie Xuan sat in the middle and leisurely drank his tea, ”May I ask royal uncle, what kind of person is my Jiu?”
Royal Uncle Yang coughed lightly, ”Good, Miss Wen is everywhere.”
Wen Jiu, ”...”
She felt that she had some strength, why did she become so strange in the royal uncle's mouth?
Xie Wanjin and Xie Xuan sat on both sides of Wen Jiu, and with an expression that seemed like an elder brother, they said: ”Everywhere is good? That's a little perfunctory. ”
Royal Uncle Yang choked and racked his brains to think of something to say, but just when he was about to speak …
Xie Xuan said: ”royal uncle, where do you think is good, please write a poem.”
Royal Uncle Yang's expression changed slightly. ”This, this …”
The top scorer of the freshmen was sitting right in front of him. Wasn't he just making a fool out of himself by making a poem in front of him?
Xie Xuan looked at him, her gaze slightly cold, ”What, you can't do it?”
”Alright!” ”Of course!” Old Mistress An hurriedly continued, ”Our royal uncle was also a famous scholar back then. Naturally, this poem was no problem.”
Yang Xilin was in pain, but he could not say anything. He opened his mouth, but could not say a single word for a long while.
Wen Jiu touched the tip of his nose.
Tell the truth.
In her two lifetimes, other than others who said that she was good at earning silver, no one else had praised her, much less written poems.
Wen Jiu looked up and glanced at Yang Xilin. royal uncle's face was green, but he could not say a word.
She suddenly felt like laughing.
Xie Xuan suddenly looked over. He hurriedly adjusted his sleeves and sat upright.
The current Third Young Master was very hard to mess with. If they left later, this person would make her compose a poem to say what was wrong with her, and she really wouldn't be able to do it.
Xie Xuan's face was cold as he continued to look at Yang Xilin.
