Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 167
It's already noon now, and the rankings for poetry and calligraphy have been released. The rankings for writing and painting will be announced in the afternoon. At this time, contestants can leave the chrysanthemum garden to go home, or go to restaurants, restaurants, etc. After lunch, I went back to Juyuan and waited for the results to be announced.

As soon as Chen Huiyin left the competition area, she was surrounded by Tang Yaoling and three people. She didn't see An Ning, so she asked, "Why didn't I see An Ning?"

Tang Yaoling replied to her: "She went back to the private room of the restaurant to get water. She said that you haven't touched a drop of water for two hours. I'm afraid that you will be very thirsty. I think you can drink water as soon as you leave the competition area. Ordinarily she also..."

"An Ning is back." At this moment, Wei Chen interrupted Tang Yaoling when he saw An Ning approaching quickly.

While talking, An Ning had already walked closer, and she handed the bamboo tube in her hand to Chen Huiyin and said, "Miss, you haven't touched any water for two hours, drink some to quench your thirst."

Chen Huiyin didn't feel that Huahua had entered the state of ecstasy before, but now that everyone mentioned it, she felt thirsty, so she took a few sips from the bamboo tube and moistened her throat first.

An Ning waited for Miss Gu to finish drinking the water, then took the bamboo tube, took out a letter from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to her: "Miss, this letter was delivered to Miss by Miss Gu's maidservant, who also asked her servant to pass it on to Miss. Miss, please open this letter and read it, there is very important information in it."

Chen Huiyin took the letter, and looked around, but did not see Gu Xinhui, so she stuffed the letter into her sleeve pocket, and said to everyone: "There are so many people here, let's go to the restaurant first."

The group went to the private room of the restaurant, and Chen Huiyin took out the letter from his sleeve pocket and opened it. The letter was quite thick, with at least ten pages, except for the first one, which was written for her. Apart from the reason for following her and the apology, the next nine were actually written to Sister Gu, so she didn't read any more.

Seeing that Sister Qiao had only read the first page, Tang Yaoling tore apart the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, and asked concerned: "What's wrong, is there something wrong with the letter?"

Chen Huiyin shook her head and explained: "No, but this letter is written to me as well as to Sister Gu. The first one is to explain to me the reason for sending someone to follow me and to apologize, and the next nine are written to me. For Sister Gu, it involves the privacy of the Gu family, so I put it away, and then give it to Sister Gu directly, Sister Gu has her own judgment on whether it is true or not."

At this time, Mu Yang asked worriedly: "Is this Gu Xinhui using this letter to test the relationship between Sister Gu and us?"

Before this time, Mu Yang and Wei Chen escorted cold vegetables over once, and they rested in the small yard they rented at night. At that time, Chen Huiyin and Tang Yaoling did not hide their affairs about Gu Xinhui, so Mu Yang had such a ask.

Chen Huiyin shook her head resolutely: "No, Gu Xinhui sent someone to follow me at the beginning. It was true that the purpose was not pure. Although Da Lang beat up the person who was following me and asked the person to bring a warning, I don't want to I feel that just a beating and a word of warning can make an ambitious person like Gu Xinhui let go easily.

Something must have happened after that, which caused her to change her mind. Not only did she stop her original plan, but she even turned to please sister Gu. Her behavior made me even more inclined to think that she was leaving a way out for herself. "

At this moment, Tang Yaoling thought of the sketched head portrait that Sister Qiao had drawn before, and a thought surged in his mind, and he said uncertainly: "I remember Sister Gu said that her second uncle, and people in the clan, are patriarchal Particularly serious-minded, very dissatisfied with her father for bringing her around to teach him about business and letting her take over the business.

Gu Xinhui's age should be around seventeen or eighteen years old, her family may have already started talking about marriage for her, and they can marry her off when she reaches eighteen.

It is normal for big families to marry their daughters. Maybe she has her own channel. Knowing that her family has seen her dissatisfied marriage for her, she was chilled by what the family did, so she thought about paving the way for her future. "

When Tang Yaoling mentioned this, Chen Huiyin also thought of the young man who had been in and out of Gu's house recently, and that man might be Gu Xinhui's lover.

However, she wasn't interested in other people's feelings, but she didn't bring up the topic, and instead reassured Mu Yang and Wei Chen: "Leaving aside the reasons for our speculation, General Yu has strict control over Lingwu County. People from the Gu family, If we can't reach Lingwu County, our situation is safe, and Sister Gu's situation is also safe."

After hearing this, Mu Yang and Wei Chen felt a little relieved, and then talked about Chen Huiyin's paintings.

At the same time, in the chrysanthemum garden, the judges of the painting competition area gathered in front of Chen Huiyin's painting, chatting in shock.

"This painting of rivers and mountains is really magnificent. Looking at the waterfall, I always feel that it is flowing, and the rolling river water and the clouds and mists surrounding the male mountains seem to be alive."

"Yes, yes, standing in front of this painting, there is a feeling of being there. This little lady Chen from Lingwu is really talented."

"At such a young age, he has such accomplishments in painting. It's amazing. I can't find any faults in this painting. I'll tell you the truth. I give this painting a first class."

With one person taking the lead, the other nine judges, without exception, awarded the Jiangshan picture with a grade of A. If there is no second painting with ten grades of A, Chen Huiyin will be the leader.

Now that lunch has been delayed, they simply read all fifty pictures, decided on the top ten, and set No. , all will be moved to the exhibition hall, and will be appreciated by tourists in the afternoon, so as to show the fairness of the competition.

After lunch, Chen Huiyin and the others left the restaurant and went shopping to pass the time. Because there was a practice in previous years, the ranking of the paintings was always announced in the middle of the afternoon.

But they didn't know that not long after they left the restaurant, the news that the ranking of the painting competition had been announced reached the restaurant, and the contestants waiting for the news in the restaurant, as well as the tourists waiting for the opening of the exhibition hall, flocked to the chrysanthemum garden.

When Chen Huiyin and the others estimated that the time was almost up, they came to the Juyuan in time, and before they entered the gate of the Juyuan, they were stopped by an old lady in her fifties and sixties with gray hair and a serious expression.

"Miss Chen, my surname is Wang, and I am the female officer next to Princess Ningguo. Princess Ningguo saw the painting of the little lady and liked it very much. She wants to meet and talk to the little lady." Madam Wang His hands were crossed in front of his abdomen, his back was straight, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, but his tone was extremely respectful.

Princess Ningguo is the aunt of today, and her status is extremely noble. Chen Huiyin has no right to refuse. She made a gesture of invitation to Nanny Wang: "Madam Wang, please lead the way."

Then the five of Chen Huiyin followed Nanny Wang, turned around, and came to a very elegant pavilion. The perimeter of the pavilion was surrounded by soldiers with knives on their waists, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet. At this moment, Chen Huiyin's heart was out of control mention it.
