Shengjing Noble

Chapter 125 The stars hold the moon

Two carriages stopped one after the other in front of Langhua Pavilion.

Song Rui personally helped Su Lanyin get off the carriage. As soon as the two appeared, they became the focus of the street and attracted countless attention.

After all, these handsome men and beautiful women are really pleasing to the eyes.

Today, Su Lanyin deliberately wore women's clothes. She had a graceful figure, light steps, and her every frown and smile revealed gentleness and beauty.

People on the street had never seen such a stunning beauty. They all stopped to admire her. Some men even had their eyes popped out of their heads and were carried away by their wives, pinching their ears.

"We're here. This is Langhua Pavilion." Su Lanyin said softly.

Song Rui nodded: "Then let's go in."

"it is good."

The two of them were about to enter the door after they had distanced themselves from each other when they saw a carriage slowly approaching and stopping directly in front of them.

The car door was pushed open, and Su Shenghao and Su Lanxin jumped out of the car directly, looking very proud.

Su Lanxin dressed up especially carefully today, with her hair full of pearls and jade and wearing gorgeous clothes. She looked dazzled and luxurious.

But today was a banquet for scholars, and her attire was a bit too exaggerated, causing passers-by to frown.

If Su Lanyin became the standout among the noble ladies present today with her figure and beauty, then Su Lanxin became the standout with her expensive outfit.

There was talk among the crowd.

"There have been quite a few girls who have come to Langhua Pavilion, but I have never seen any more beautiful girls than these two."

"Although they are both beautiful, one of them is wearing heavy makeup and jewels, which makes her look a bit vulgar."

"Yes, if you look at them individually, both girls are extremely beautiful, but when they stand together, the girl in the light pink dress looks particularly calm and elegant."

"Yes, she has a light makeup that is just right, a rosy complexion, red lips without any makeup, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. Her simple outfit actually highlights her original beauty."

"As for the other one, to be honest, the beauty lies in the luxury of her clothes. If she were to take them off, she would probably be just ordinary."

……

Hearing such pertinent comments from everyone, Su Lanyin raised her lips and said with a faint smile: "I didn't expect that my second brother and fifth sister would also come to participate in today's literary banquet. Why didn't you tell me earlier so that we can set off together."

Su Lanxin snorted coldly and opened her mouth to start a fight, but when she saw Song Rui next to her, she changed her mind.

As the saying goes, you have to use magic to beat magic!

Isn't it just a white lotus? Who wouldn't know that?

Thinking of this, Su Lanxin smiled slightly, hiding the disgust in her eyes, and said softly: "Sixth sister is dressed like a lotus in pure water today, no wonder so many men admire her. Sister must be very good at studying men's preferences, right? Unlike me, I wear whatever my mother gives me, and I don't know how to match them."

This... is absolutely spot on!

Su Lanyin couldn't help laughing, but she still pretended to be offended. She glared angrily and explained in a panic, "What do you mean, Fifth Sister? I just put on a piece of clothing casually. How could a man appreciate it? And I never study men's preferences. Don't spit blood at me, sister!"

If she hadn't explained, she would have seemed confident, but her rebuttal immediately gave people a guilty feeling.

Song Rui frowned and couldn't help but look at Su Lanyin.

She didn't look like she had put much effort into dressing up today, but she put on light makeup, and her eyebrows and eyes were so delicate that it didn't look like she had done it casually.

It seems that she is really scheming and even uses makeup to make herself look pure and cool.

I was almost deceived by her appearance!

Thinking of this, he admired Su Lanxin's outfit even more. She looked wealthy with all the jewels and precious stones.

I heard her say just now that she wears whatever her mother gives her. As expected, the dowry of the daughter of a marquis must be no less than that of the merchant's daughter.

If he could marry Su Lanxin, wouldn't he have the best of both worlds and have everything?

Thinking of this, Song Rui felt even more disgusted with Su Lanyin.

"Fifth sister, let's go in first." Su Shenghao said.

Although he had a bandage on his head, it did not hinder the arrogance on his face at all.

Su Lanxin realized that her goal had been achieved and did not bother to argue. She curled her lips and smiled lightly, looking deeply at Song Rui, and then nodded: "Okay, then we will go in first."

After saying that, he followed Su Shenghao into the gate of Langhua Pavilion.

Su Lanyin said angrily: "Fifth sister is really too much, Brother Song, don't listen to her, she said that on purpose, I..."

Song Rui interrupted impatiently: "Okay, I get it, I'm not suspicious, let's go in too."

After saying that, he walked inside, leaving her alone at the door.

Su Lanyin looked at his back with a cold light in her eyes, but she shouted, "Brother Song, wait a minute, Yinyin..."

……

After arriving at the hall, they sat down according to their seats.

As a great talent in Shengjing, Su Shengyun naturally had a high position, so Su Lanyin and Song Rui both sat in the front seats.

Su Shenghao originally had no talent, but later became a popular candidate for talent because of several of his poems, so his position is in the middle.

Su Lanxin naturally had to sit with him, as this position allowed her to see the backs of Song Rui and Su Lanyin in front of her.

The two were whispering to each other. Su Lanyin smiled softly with her hands covering her lips from time to time, showing a shy look and looking very proud.

"Bitch!" Su Lanxin couldn't help but curse under her breath.

Isn't he just a bumpkin from the countryside? Why is he smiling so happily?

I have never seen the world!

When she captures the prince, she will definitely trample Su Lanyin under her feet!

The banquet of literati officially began. The host was a wealthy man. He was also a scholar when he was young, but because his family was poor, he went into business.

Over the years, he has been wealthy but has never given up on the path of literature. However, due to the division of labor into scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, he is not eligible to take the imperial examinations, so he can only rely on organizing such events to make up for the regret in his heart.

Of course, more importantly, he wanted to get to know some talented people who might enter officialdom in the future through this method, which was also a purposeful approach.

At today's banquet for scholars, the first winner can receive one hundred taels of gold, but he must defeat all the talented people who are attending today with his real talent and knowledge.

Su Lanyin had already made arrangements. She bribed the manager of this wealthy man in advance and asked him to screen the talented people who would participate and give up all those who were better than Song Rui.

Therefore, those who came to participate today have no real talents or are not as knowledgeable as Song Rui.

So it is easy to imagine who finally got the one hundred taels of gold.

The moment he got the gold, Song Rui's eyes sparkled and he looked like he was dreaming.

Su Lanyin saw that he even secretly pinched his thigh, frowning in pain, and then suppressed the ecstasy in her heart.

After all, I'm from the countryside and have never seen so much silver.

But... she understood very well the principle that if you want to kill someone you must first make him crazy.
