At this time, Li Xiao walked out without looking back.
Because he clearly knew that the maid named Zhang Cuicui in front of him was not Zhu Ningyun, the princess of Yong'an County at all.
If you show that you are frightened by the ugly appearance, or go to kneel down and lick it, your true purpose will be suspected.
This kind of behavior that is only for talent and not for glory and wealth can deceive the other party.
That's right.
This is Zhu Gaoxu's ultimate test.
This maid who played the role of the princess suffered the same disaster as the princess back then.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't let his sister be like a cabbage, picking at will. She must go through layers of screening.
Zhu Gaoxu became a little anxious when he saw that the maid was not right... Li Xiao turned around and left.
After this test, Zhu Gaoxu felt that this young man was really good.
Of course, in the end, it still depends on whether his sister Zhu Ningyun agrees.
Since Zhu Ningyun's disfigurement, she has been unwilling to see people and has become thinner and thinner.
Zhu Gaoxu, the younger brother, was really worried.
He hopes to have a good man who can accompany his sister.
It took a lot of hard work to persuade my sister to find someone who can treat her well and stay with her for the rest of her life.
But after searching for several years, I couldn't find it.
That's when I came up with a plan... to openly recruit a son-in-law.
The young man in front of me is the first person in several years to reach the final level.
The key is... this person also likes reading, and he and his sister are just in love... Oh no, do they have the same interests?
Thinking of this,
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly ran to the screen and asked anxiously: "Sister, what do you think of this person? I think it's okay!"
Behind the screen is a woman with an extremely graceful figure, but her appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Her face was covered with a bamboo hat and white gauze.
Zhu Ningyun's eyes were lonely, her lips moved lightly, and her voice was as pleasant as pearls falling on a jade plate: "This person... is interesting, but I have long planned not to marry in this life..."
She had already secretly observed Li Xiao just now. He was handsome, with wheat-colored skin, and he was quite eye-catching.
In fact, there are quite a few such people.
It was just the words Li Xiao said just now that made her soul tremble.
A kind word warms you for three winters, but a bad word hurts you for six months.
She knew what others said about her behind her back, saying she was ugly...
Good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are unique.
This was the first time Zhu Ningyun heard such words. What she cared about most was that her appearance had disappeared.
Li Xiao's words were as warm as the warm sun in winter.
She was extremely touched.
"Sister, I don't want you to be alone all your life."
Zhu Gaoxu said anxiously: "Sister, don't miss it. Brother, I hope you can live a happy life. I have tested this Li Xiao for a long time, and it is really good."
Zhu Ningyun thought about it again and again, and finally shook her head.
The other party is indeed good, but can he really not care about this ugly guy for the rest of his life?
One year is fine, but two years? What about three years?
Who can guarantee that he will not care about it for the rest of his life?
In other words...entering the palace and gaining a position of power...
Will he change his original intention?
Too many concerns.
"No..."
Princess Ningyun gritted her teeth and turned to leave.
"Sister! Don't tie yourself up anymore! Although my brother has little education, he also knows that opportunities should never be lost again. If you miss it, there may never be such a person again, and you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Zhu Gaoxu persuaded him again: "As a younger brother, I beg you, please stabilize him first... make contact with him. If it's really inappropriate... let's talk about it later."
Zhu Ningyun wanted to leave, but Zhu Gaoxu refused to let him go, blocking her way.
After so many years, it’s hard to find the right one. Wouldn’t it be a pity if we missed it?
My sister is already eighteen years old this year. After the age of marriage, the other sisters have already married.
He didn't want to see his sister die alone all her life.
"Gao Xu, what are you doing? Get out of the way."
"No, if you don't agree, I won't let you!"
"You... aren't you being a rogue!"
"I'm going to be a rogue today, sister... give yourself a chance! I don't have to marry you to this Li Xiao, let's get in touch first..."
Zhu Gaoxu used his shameless skills.
"Let's get in touch first..."
Seeing that his brother was so persistent, Zhu Ningyun lowered his head helplessly... Maybe he could give himself a chance...
That pair....
“It’s Chinese Valentine’s Day in a foreign country, and melancholy is another year of good times. May heaven and earth be filled with joy every year and tonight;”
Thinking of this pair, Zhu Ningyun couldn't help but feel sad.
This first couplet, such a beautiful vision, was not what she wanted.
The melancholy of another good year... seems to be lamenting the passage of time.
My own years...isn't that the case?
Die every inch, like stagnant water, without any ripples...
Zhu Ningyun turned around and looked outside the screen.
Seeing this,
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing when he knew that his persuasion had worked.
"We are separated from each other, and the tenderness has been lingering for half a year. Waiting in the water town in dreams, stealing the floating life, and having good nights every day."
A wonderful voice came from the screen.
The one who spoke was Princess Yongan, and speaking out represented that she had taken that step bravely.
As he was leaving, Li Xiao suddenly stopped.
"We are separated from each other, and the tenderness has been lingering for half a year. Waiting in the water town in dreams, stealing the floating life, and having good nights every day."
Zhu Ningyun, the princess of Yong'an County, used her second couplet to tell the sorrow of a young girl.
Just like her suffering, telling her story, she is sad alone as her face fades away.
Waiting for the water town in the dream, stealing the floating life, and enjoying the good nights every day.
It is the hope in her heart.
She is only eighteen years old...and she longs...to have love!
Li Xiao stopped and looked at the screen.
He knew he had passed the ultimate test...
"That's right, that's right!"
Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the house with a smile and said with a smile: "Li Xiao, how about the second couplet given by the princess?"
Li Xiao frowned: "The sound came from behind the screen. This is..."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry, brother Li Xiao, it was also a test just now. How about it? My sister's talent is pretty good, right?"
Li Xiao smiled helplessly: "It's indeed good, but this test is too much, is there anything else?"
Zhu Gaoxu patted his chest and said, "It's gone, it's really gone! I promise!"
Li Xiao smiled and said nothing, turned around and walked towards the screen, then bowed and said:
"The second couplet given by the princess has neat contrasts and beautiful rhythm. It instantly overwhelmed my first couplet. I admire a woman who has such talent. I admire her!"
"Your Excellency, you have given me the award."
A voice came from the screen, and the voice was as ethereal and beautiful as a fairy on the moon:
"My princess has liked reading books since she was a child, because there are many books in her family. And you are in a rural area, but you can also enjoy reading with ease, which is admirable."
Li Xiao hurriedly bowed: "The princess has given you the reward."
Zhu Ningyun continued from behind the screen: "Just now, the young master put a pair of men to the test, so I, the princess, should treat them in the same way as others, okay?"
Ah... is he so vindictive... Li Xiao has a toothache.
It’s better to prepare yourself in advance.
Pairs are not my strong point.
But now I'm stuck and I can't refuse, so I can only bite the bullet and go for it.
Li Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, Princess."
After a moment of silence, Princess Yongan Zhu Ningyun behind the screen said again:
"You agree so happily... It seems that your Excellency is very talented and very good at pairs, but you always fall behind in pairs. Why don't you, the princess, propose a topic and write a poem?"
Princess Yong'an was originally worried about the other party's preparations.
The other party answered so quickly.
Looking at it now, it's not the case.
Simply use poetry to test whether you are really talented?
This man came here because of his talent, and she felt that she must give it a good test to see if it was true.
Compose poetry?
Li Xiao was overjoyed instantly, this is really great.
We are not good at pairing, but copying poems... ah no, we are definitely good at composing poems!
Zhu Gaoxu on the other side was stunned.
Let people compose poems on the spot? ?
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu whispered: "Sister, is the difficulty too high?"
Li Xiao was afraid that Zhu Gaoxu would disturb the good things, so he hurriedly said: "If it's not high, just write a poem."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned again, good guy, I'll help you, it's better for you... isn't this asking for trouble?
How can you, a farmer, compose poetry on the spot?
Zhu Ningyun thought for a while and said: "Spring is approaching and the imperial examination is coming. Your Excellency, please write a poem on the theme of imperial examination and talents."
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.
This is too difficult!
However, as soon as he looked at Li Xiao with sympathetic eyes... Li Xiao's replying voice came over:
"Li and Du's poems have been passed down by thousands of mouths, but they are no longer new."
"Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."
Li Xiao thought for less than a few seconds, took a step, and gave his answer.
In ancient times, Cao Zhi composed a poem in seven steps, but now Li Xiao writes a poem in one step!
The words fell...
You can hear needle drops throughout the house!
