Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Unexpectedly, after I had been talking about various reward dishes for a long time, the little girl in front of me was still focusing on the lantern. The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Of course, as long as you guess the lantern riddle correctly, miss, the lantern itself The corresponding dish rewards belong to you."

Gu Yunqiao's eyes lit up: "That's a good relationship, it doesn't matter whether the food is good or not, the main reason is that I really like this Jade Rabbit lantern."

At this time, a contemptuous and flamboyant female voice suddenly came from the ear, which made people feel uncomfortable: "It's really ignorant to ignore the basics. Baweixuan is a famous restaurant in the capital, and their eight signature dishes are even more famous in the capital. How could they even have this dish?" I don’t even know, what kind of joke about buying a basket and returning pearls was made, could it be a wild girl from the countryside.”

Cheng Yan frowned, followed the prestige and found that it was a young man and a woman. From the clothes, it could be seen that the family must be rich.The woman among them was raising her chin, looking at Gu Yunqiao contemptuously, her eyes full of contempt.

Not to be outdone, Gu Yunqiao immediately retorted: "I don't know what's wrong? Is this something that I should know naturally? Although I don't understand, I know how to ask. On the contrary, you only know a little more than me. , you can’t wait to show off in front of people, you are truly ignorant.”

"Who do you say has no knowledge!"

Seemingly unexpected that Gu Yunqiao dared to refute in person, the woman raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry, but was stopped by the man beside her: "Manman, don't be rude."

As he said that, he saluted Gu Yunqiao and Cheng Yan politely: "Sister She is naughty, and she offended this young lady by speaking rudely for a while, please don't take it to heart."

The woman looked at him unwillingly: "Brother, why are you apologizing? Didn't you hear what this wild girl said about me?"

Hearing this woman talking about a wild girl, Cheng Yan's face darkened, and his voice became cold: "Young lady, please be more respectful in your words. If you continue to speak rudely like this, I will not be polite."

However, the woman was used to being arrogant at first glance, and instead of restraining herself, she became more reckless: "What are you, dare to talk to this young lady like this..."

Before he finished speaking, the man beside him seemed to have just discovered something, and looked at Cheng Yan with a look of astonishment: "Your Excellency is...Master Cheng?"

Cheng Yan glanced at him unexpectedly: "You know me?"

"Look at what Mr. Cheng said, you are the champion of the new department, who doesn't know you?" After receiving an affirmative answer, the man immediately changed into a warm and respectful attitude, "My name is Xiang Liqun, and I am as familiar as Mr. Cheng." He is a Jinshi of Xinke, but he is dull, so he failed to be selected as a Shuji scholar in the Imperial Academy, and after the palace examination, he will be the head of the Ministry of Rites."

There are [-] Jinshi in the new department. Cheng Yan probably remembered such a name, but he didn't have much impression of him, so he just smiled politely and perfunctorily: "Oh, so it's Mr. Xiang."

Xiang Liqun then turned to Gu Yunqiao who was next to Cheng Yan, his eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, and he asked tentatively, "...is this Mr. Cheng's?"

Cheng Yan paused, and said without changing his face: "This is... Sister She."

Gu Yunqiao looked up at Cheng Yan, but did not deny it.A man and a woman are traveling together on the street, and they have never been married. It is indeed easy to cause rumors if it is spread.What's more, Cheng Yan is older than Gu Yunqiao, and he is a close friend with Gu Yunji, so it doesn't count as taking advantage of her.

The smile on Xiang Liqun's face was wider, and he said flatteringly, "So it's Miss Cheng, I'm sorry."

The scene changed too fast, watching the few people exchanging greetings freely, Xiang Man on the side didn't react yet, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Brother, what do you mean... he is the new champion Cheng Yan?"

Xiang Liqun withdrew his smile, and scolded with a stern face: "Why are you and him, why don't you come to see Mr. Cheng soon? Also, you just said something rude, so hurry up and apologize to Miss Cheng!"

Xiang Man's face turned red and turned white, and she couldn't hold back her face to apologize to Gu Yunqiao, she simply said nonsense, "Why do you want me to apologize to her? Didn't she just say that I don't know enough? Brother, you love to curry favor with others Just flatter others, anyway, I don't apologize!"

"you!"

Xiang Liqun didn't expect Xiang Man to be so disrespectful to himself, and his face turned green immediately. However, Xiang Man was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he was used to be arrogant. Xiang Liqun can't do anything with her now.

Seeing that his younger sister insisted on not apologizing, Xiang Liqun was extremely embarrassed, and said with a smirk, "Your Majesty Cheng, you have also seen that Sister She is such a naughty person. In fact, she is quick-mouthed and has a good heart. I will represent her here." I apologize to you, your lord has a lot, don't bother with her."

Cheng Yan raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at him lightly, and said nothing.

Xiang Liqun had no choice but to turn to Gu Yunqiao again: "I apologize to Miss Cheng in the next generation, and I hope Miss Cheng will be happy."

Gu Yunqiao blessed Fushen, and said politely: "It's serious to the adults, it's just a trivial matter. I also made mistakes just now, please don't mind the adults."

Hearing these words, Xiang Liqun finally heaved a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Seeing that several people had reconciled, the shopkeeper who watched silently and didn't dare to intervene finally stood up and smoothed things over with a smile: "That's right, harmony makes money, harmony makes money."

"Generally speaking, a guest can only be rewarded with one lantern, and once he guesses correctly, he can't guess again. But today, the villain sees that several young masters and ladies are destined, so I will give you four chances. How about choosing a lantern riddle in each row to guess, and if you guess all of them correctly, you can get four rewards at the same time?"

Then, the shopkeeper put the rabbit lamp into Gu Yunqiao's hand: "Didn't Miss Cheng want this rabbit lamp just now? Then you can try to guess the lantern riddle above. If you guess correctly, the rabbit lamp and the corresponding The vegetarian rewards are all yours."

Gu Yunqiao became interested after hearing what he said, so she looked at the riddle posted on the lamp: "The waves of the curved water splash the dragon boat, type one word."

"Qushui? Waves? And dragon boats?" Gu Yunqiao tilted her head in doubt, "What word could this be?"

Cheng Yan only glanced at it, and then he had the answer in his heart. He was not in a hurry to tell her, but guided him patiently: "What do you think a dragon boat usually looks like?"

Gu Yunqiao pondered and said: "Dragon boats are generally long and flat, with the head in front and a slender body on which more than a dozen people can sit. If it is placed in the middle of the font, it would be like... the bottom of the boat?"

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao quickly figured it out, Cheng Yan smiled: "That's right, it's the bottom line. What about Qushui?"

"As the name suggests, Qushui means curved water, and 'splashing' means that the water is on the dragon boat..." She said, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it the word 'Xun'?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The answer to the riddle is the word 'Xun'. Congratulations to this lady for guessing right."

The sense of accomplishment brought by guessing the answer by myself is huge, and Gu Yunqiao immediately cheered: "Wow, I guessed it right! I'm so good!"

Looking at the girl's starry eyes, Cheng Yan's heart softened, and he couldn't help but soften his voice: "Yes, it's very powerful."
