Leng Lanzhi and Du Shi are undoubtedly the two most beautiful women in the room, and anyone who doesn't pretend to be blind can tell that Leng Lanzhi's temperament is countless times more noble than that of Du Shi.
Not to mention that Mrs. Du was just a concubine, even the ladies in the scene were vaguely overwhelmed by her.
But why! ?
She is just an older abandoned woman who seems to have been divorced!
Still from the countryside.
Why should she be more arrogant than these official ladies and business ladies?
Seeing that most people looked at Leng Lanzhi with unkind expressions, Jia hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Linglong means what she says but doesn't mean it. Let's continue to appreciate the calligraphy and painting..."
Mrs. Liang was not happy: "Can you tell the truth with just one sentence? She is mocking my son, do you think I can't hear it?"
What about lingering in the flowers, combined with the frivolous handwriting, isn't it just saying that her son has kidney deficiency?
Leng Lanzhi said: "Is this sarcasm, Mrs. Liang really doesn't know? Or do you want to verify it in public?"
She suddenly smiled slightly: "It's actually not difficult to verify, isn't it? Whether Young Master Ling is weak, you only need to find a doctor to take his pulse."
"You!" Mrs. Liang's face turned red with anger, but she did not dare to wave her hand and call the doctor.
Du Shi suggested understandingly: "Actually... if I want to prove whether Miss Shui really understands calligraphy or is just trying to gain fame, there is a good way to do it, right?"
Seeing everyone looking over, Mrs. Du lowered her head slightly as if embarrassed: "Didn't Miss Shui say that the student named Wen Ruxu might be in trouble? As long as we find out whether it is true, we can prove that Miss Shui Do you really understand?"
Mrs. Liang's eyes lit up: "As expected of Sister Du, this is a great idea! Someone come!"
From the moment Du made the suggestion to Mrs. Liang sending someone to inquire about Wen Ruxu's situation, it was just a matter of a flash of lightning.
It was too late for Jia to stop him.
After thinking about it, she also sent someone to follow him out.
Mrs. Liang said sarcastically: "Mrs. Li is so kind to your husband's cousin!"
Jia said calmly: "Don't care whether it's from her husband's family or her mother's family. Since she is a relative of hers, there is no reason to treat her badly."
"Then Mrs. Li will have to pray hard and pray that your cousin can be worthy of your kindness and trust."
She originally planned to get married to the Li family, so she showed off her son so hard today.
But she didn't expect that the Li family was so disrespectful that they refused to give her face in public because of a country bumpkin, and even mocked her son for having a weak kidney.
The Li family is so ignorant that there is no need to get married.
At the same time, she also found it ridiculous.
What did Jia think? Why do you think a country bumpkin really has the ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting?
At this time, the person who went to inquire about Wen Ruxu came back.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Liang looked at her person with an arrogant and confident expression.
The maid in the Liang Mansion looked embarrassed, she wanted to speak but hesitated, she seemed to want to say something but didn't dare.
Seeing this, Jia asked the people she sent out, "Tell me."
The maid from the Sheriff's Mansion said with a confident face: "Back to Madam, Wen Ruxu is among the top three in this government examination, with excellent results.
However, his mother was seriously ill not long ago. Not only was she in urgent need of money, but his mother also needed someone to take care of her, and he was from a poor family...
In short, it is still unknown whether he can participate in next year's palace examination, so he has been depressed recently. "
The whole hall was silent.
It was Li Tian'er who broke the silence: "Cousin, you can read words very accurately! Teach me!"
Her big eyes were sparkling, and she looked at Leng Lanzhi with admiration in her eyes.
Leng Lanzhi gently touched her head and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing to calm down and practice calligraphy, and integrate your mind into the tip of the pen, you will be able to feel the fun of every stroke and every painting, and feel the reflections in it." metaphor."
She looked at Mrs. Liang again and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liang, Mr. Ling's body has been drained by alcohol and sex. Instead of having the energy to have meaningless disputes with me here, you might as well persuade Mr. Ling to stop drinking. Be careful and take good care of your body, otherwise you will suffer big losses in the future."
Leng Lanzhi had no intention of embarrassing anyone, but there were always people who were shameless.
Since the other party doesn't want to lose face, there is no need for her to leave a fig leaf for him.
Mrs. Liang's complexion suddenly turned red and white.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the yard, and then someone quickly walked up to the second floor.
There are only female relatives in Lanyuan, especially on the second floor, there is no one of the opposite sex.
The women were shocked when they saw the sudden intruder.
Mrs. Jia hurriedly appeased everyone, then looked at the visitor and asked in confusion: "Master, what's going on?"
The person who broke in was none other than Li Changlin.
Li Changlin was accompanied by Shui Wenbin and a group of guards from the Sheriff's Mansion.
When Lin Changlin and others broke in, Gu Zhan appeared next to Leng Lanzhi like a ghost.
The two of them looked at Shui Wenbin at the same time.
Sure enough, I heard Shui Wenbin say: "Mrs. Li, it's like this. Not only did a thief sneak into today's banquet, he was also bold enough to pretend to be a relative of the county governor!"
Pretending to be... a relative?
The word "relatives" is so directional that it's hard not to think more about it.
For a moment, everyone looked at Leng Lanzhi, even Jia Shi and Li Tian'er looked over with astonishment on their faces.
Leng Lanzhi's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at Shui Wenbin with a cold gaze.
This guy really doesn't leave any way for his niece to survive.
She simply couldn't imagine how the girl would be bullied if it was Shui Linglong who was standing here today.
No!
If it were Shui Linglong herself, there would be no way she could stand here!
Even if the girl really had such a powerful backer as the Sheriff's Mansion, she would still be exposed by the greedy Shui family, and no bones or scraps would be left!
Meeting Leng Lanzhi's gaze, Shui Wenbin smiled coldly: "It's useless for you to look at me. As your uncle, I have already given you a chance. It's because you were greedy and didn't cherish this opportunity!"
"Are you her uncle?" Mrs. Liang asked, "Who are you?"
Mrs. Liang didn't know a small county registrar, but Shui Wenbin knew Mrs. Liang. She immediately bowed respectfully, and then said sadly: "Back to Mrs. Liang, the subordinate is Shui Wenbin, the registrar of Pingyang County. This woman is the subordinate." She is the daughter of Guan Guan's deceased eldest brother. However, she left Tianhai City with Xia Guan's eldest brother more than ten years ago and did not return until not long ago.
Although she has been away from home for more than ten years and her appearance and temperament have changed a lot, her identity and background will not change!
The official was very sure that her maternal grandfather's family was just a farmer from the village next to Shuijia Village, and there was no way they could be the county governor's cousins! "
Mrs. Liang pointed at Leng Lanzhi's nose angrily: "Okay, you dare to pretend to be a relative of a court official. You are so audacious! Come on, get this bitch down!"
Mother Jia and her daughter were both dumbfounded, looking at Leng Lanzhi with eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
Leng Lanzhi was not at all frightened by Mrs. Liang's anger: "My cousin hasn't spoken yet, why are you jumping in such a hurry?"
