Chapter 32: Chapter 32
"What is Miss Gu Wu looking at?"

Xiao Xi was dressed in plain white linen. He was already in his weaker years but he did not wear a crown. Instead, he tied his hair in a knot of fine linen and pulled it low behind his neck. Containing ten directions of elegance and integrity, what is deposited in his bones is the integrity and pride of the clan.

For a real big clan, even the emperor should respect three points, not to mention that the smooth road has been paved, and the future is boundless when the filial piety period is over.

Gu Mingluan still has a light veil on his face today, and the veil is more graceful and beautiful, "I seem to see my sister."

Hearing the words, Xiao Xi raised his eyes and looked forward, his movements were natural, it was hard to imagine that he had just met Gu Mingluan for the first time today.

There were crowds all around, so Xiao Xi naturally couldn't see anything, but Gu Mingluan felt in his bones that Xiao Xi valued him.

"The fight will start later, Miss Gu Wu can go and say hello first."

How could Gu Mingluan delay his major affairs because of a mere Gu Aman.

"My sister usually doesn't like writing and ink, and she laughs at me for being a nerd when she sees me reading a book. I saw her standing with the young man next to me just now. I think she came to the poetry meeting because of other important things, so don't bother her. "

There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Xi's mouth, and for a moment Gu Mingluan felt that the other party had seen through his thoughts.

She thought about what she said just now, and felt more and more that she was telling the truth, "My sister doesn't like to dance with words, and my parents have said it several times, but everyone has their own ambitions. Although she doesn't know much about poetry, But I am good at making rouge, and I occasionally receive one or two colors every festival and birthday.”

In a few words, a woman who is not good at writing, is stingy with her younger sister, and likes to get along with foreign men is vividly described.

Xiao Xi didn't intend to find out too much, just like he wasn't standing here because of Gu Mingluan.

"I'm ashamed to say that because I'm far away from my homeland, Xiao Xi doesn't have close siblings and close friends. Fortunately, senior brother Bo Qian took good care of Xiao Xi because of his friendship with classmates."

"It's a pity that Xiao Xi didn't do his best for Miss Gu Wu in the poetry meeting. I really feel guilty."

Xiao Xi handed the conch to Gu Mingluan, "This is the second conch, and I will get my wish when Fifth Miss Gu gets on the ring."

Looking at the snail, Gu Mingluan felt happy in his heart.

There are only two conch shells, and she can already show her strength.

Just win the last man standing...

"Shangjing Poetry Club's Doujiu Shishan occupies half of it, and Doujiu Shishan's Xiaoxi only takes up seven points. I said how she could get Faluo with a mere Lingchuan straw bag. It turns out that she asked an expert to help her."

The visitor was dressed in purple and Ruili, with a high bun, and a red maple flower in gold on his forehead, but a few words or three words made the two of them ridicule clean.

Gu Mingluan didn't know how she offended this person, she bowed to salute, and she didn't dare to get angry if the other party refused to let her get up, because the daughter was the righteous daughter of the current empress dowager—— County Lord Fengqiu.

This person usually lives reclusively, and I heard that his temper is very good, but now he suddenly attacked Gu Mingluan, which caused many people to turn their eyes to this place.

"You can make Fengqiu angry like this, your sister is very powerful."

It's also a coincidence that other people don't know the inner relationship, so how could Liu Xuanzhi, the secret terminator, not know.

It turned out that the county magistrate of Fengqiu was impressed by Xiao Xi's talent and learning during the palace examination, and the queen mother also strongly urged this marriage. Originally, a decree was to be given to marry, but the elders of Xiao Xi's family died.

Xiao Xi declined the emperor's conferment and insisted on keeping his filial piety for three years, so the marriage was naturally shelved.

Originally, it was impossible for one person, and it would be enough to find a talented and learned person to marry, but County Mistress Fengqiu was a twister, saying that she was willing to wait for Xiao Xi for three years.

Now that the filial piety period is only one or two years old, Xiao Xi is standing with others, and the County Lord Fengqiu naturally does not follow her.

Gu Aman suddenly realized, she watched the embarrassing scene of the three of them from a distance, and suddenly had a strange thought, "Are you sure that Xiao Xi's refusal is because of filial piety?"

The Great Wei emphasized filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and it is natural to observe filial piety for three years, but there is also a saying that filial piety should be married within 49 days after the death of a relative, so that the deceased can feel at ease and report the good news to the deceased.

Liu Xuanzhi understood, "It seems that the Goddess has affection, but King Xiang has no intention."

Sure enough, Xiao Xi had already explained in a neither humble nor overbearing way, "Miss Gu Wu's ability to obtain the Dharma Luo is due to her own strength, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Xi."

But obviously, the more he explained, the angrier the county master Fengqiu became.

"Xiao Xi, you can tell others about this, but you can't fool me. Once you stand beside her, the whole White Deer Academy will give you five points. The general poetry clubs dare not fight against each other. You Instead of helping her, what are you doing?"

"However, you can only help her so far."

Princess Fengqiu flipped her hand, but the other magic conch was in her hand.

She lowered her head to look at Gu Mingluan, who was half-squatting and crumbling, and she really had a charming and charming face.

But she let Xiao Xi take a look today, the person in front of her is just a straw vase with his appearance, and the only one who can really match Xiao Xi with him is her County Mistress Fengqiu.

And his refusal to marry back then was the worst decision Xiao Xi had ever made in his life.

"My county lord will compete with you, Fa Luo, today."

The Faluo Fighting Arena is the most not-to-be-missed spectacle of the Poetry Festival. Unlike other poems fighting on the same stage, the Faluo Fighting Arena has an exclusive arena.

This arena is set in the center of the poetry meeting, one side of the arena is about [-] minutes long, and there are dedicated viewing seats around the arena, and the most amazing thing is that the arena is not covered with paper but with snow-white plain brocade that is one foot wide.

After the poetry lottery is drawn, the poems will be written directly on the plain brocade, and someone will hang them on the rope behind the ring and be lifted up.

Gu Aman stood around the stands and looked up, the cornices of the pavilions blocked his sight, behind the long corridor hung with bead curtains, it was hazy to attract prying eyes.

"You said, what were they thinking when they watched us compose poems?"

Liu Xuanzhi thinks this is a very simple question, but when you try to answer it, you can't find an accurate answer.

Gu Aman asked again, "When you used to watch a cockfight, did you care what the cockfight was thinking?"

Liu Xuanzhi's pupils trembled, he hesitated for a while, "Your idea is very dangerous."

Gu Aman slightly pursed his lips and smiled, "Liu Xuanzhi, I will suddenly be very unhappy."

"Aren't you willing to make fun of others?"

Gu Aman shook her head, she looked at the ring, "I just suddenly realized that even though I knew they were making fun of me, I still had to do my best to make them laugh."

"So, it's probably what they said they couldn't help themselves."
