Chapter 70
There were not many legitimate daughters at this tea party, but there were seven or eight in total.
When everyone was told about Tang Yun Ning's wedding, the faces of these legitimate daughters suddenly became very strange.
The familiar person next to me asked a few questions and then put on the same expression.
Another lucky draw? The last time Princess Rui gave them a lucky draw, all the money fell into her pocket. This time she added a lucky draw, maybe it was nothing good.
Tang Junning seemed to know what these people were thinking, and smiled generously: "I will not participate in your competition, and this lottery prize is my uninvited apology."
At the previous tea banquet, everyone did not fully display their talents due to etiquette and face, so there was always room for them.
But today the lottery is on the table. If you can get the lottery, you will be the star of the tea party. The eldest daughter is not very interested in this, but the concubine next to her is quite interested.
If there is an honorable reason to trample others under their feet, who wouldn't want to be in the limelight?
Tang Yun watched the discussion with a smile. Qian Wenyun came over and frowned: "Princess Rui, is this inappropriate?"
After all, some ladies are not big-minded enough. If they lose, they might become grudges, which goes against the original intention of the tea party.
"Don't worry, Miss Qian. I just want to use this to inquire about something, and I will never cause any discord among the ladies." She had an expression that guaranteed this. Qian Wenyun didn't feel comfortable saying anything, and just wanted to wait.
Be sure to keep an eye on it later.
Although Su Xiaoxiao has not been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting over the years, she is confident that Tang Junning will give her a back door.
She also believed that this lucky draw was the opportunity created by Tang Junning for her to shine in the tea banquet.
The words "The villain succeeds" were fully reflected in her body. Before the competition started, she had an expression on her face that said the outcome had already been decided, causing many ladies to turn their heads to look at her.
Tang Junning stood as a witness, took a cup of tea, and took a sip: "Let's get started."
The comparison is with the paintings in Qinqi, calligraphy and painting.
Titled Ladies.
When everyone lifts the pen, it is a picture of a dignified and elegant lady. The brush strokes are round and full, and the colors are bold.
Tang Junning glanced at those people casually, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao's painting.
There was a moment of pause.
Su Xiaoxiao's painting... makes people want to find another husband for her.
After painting like this, why should I paint? I might as well go home early.
Her painting is really bad, not as good as the lady next to her, but she is very confident.
Tang Junning said quietly: "I have thought about it and decided not to participate in the evaluation of your paintings this time. Xiaoxiao is my sister. If I make the evaluation, it will inevitably be unfair."
Su Xiaoxiao paused her pen tip, and the ink dripped onto the rice paper, making it appear black.
No more competition? Then wouldn’t her Bu Yao be gone?
Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and looked carefully at the ladies around her. There were only so many people participating. How was she going to get the ball rolling?
There are always many ways to do it. She held the pen and carefully finished her drawing, and took advantage of others' unpreparedness to suck up enough ink and put it in a corner of the scroll.
When the time came, the scrolls were handed in one after another, and she was the last one.
He held his scroll and put it next to Tang Yun Ning.
The first stroke did not place it neatly, and the corner of the painting fell in the middle. The swollen ink quickly wetted the painting below, and she quietly moved the scroll back into place.
Tang Junning beside her saw her movements clearly, and Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled at her, looking obedient.
Tang Junning did what Su Xiaoxiao thought and did not expose her.
The person who made the assessment was Qian Wenyun.
She glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's painting, paused slightly, her eyelids twitched, and she glanced at Tang Junning quietly, thinking: This Princess Rui is so talented, how come this sister is painted like this?
She sighed, but for her own sake, she wrote a score that was neither high nor low—a score that would not win the lottery anyway.
However, the second picture appeared in front of his eyes, and the lady's face was dark.
Qian Wenyun thought this person was careless, but still gave him a low score.
Next is the second, third...
Everyone saw that Qian Wenyun's face, which had been smiling all the time, turned darker and darker, and they were confused for a moment.
After her evaluation was completed, everyone was still looking forward to the results.
"The one who won the lottery is..." Qian Wenyun's eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao, who was looking down on him, "Su Xiaoxiao."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise: "It's me?"
"I'm not very good at painting, but I didn't expect that I got a lucky draw by chance. Thank you all for your help."
The others gritted their teeth, and the man watching the excitement couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoxiao. Someone in the crowd shouted: "I want to see Miss Su's exquisite paintings!"
Another person echoed: "Yes, let us also appreciate the paintings of the person who won the first place!"
Originally this was not etiquette, but someone spoke up, and Qian Wenyun was really angry and said, "Okay, let everyone take a look."
Su Xiaoxiao had no time to stop him, and the painting was displayed.
The scene was really quiet.
"This painting can actually win?" someone in the man's group said.
Even though Ben Shouli didn't want to judge the rights and wrongs of others, he couldn't help but ask: "Can you let me wait and see other people's paintings?"
Other people's paintings were displayed.
They were all black stains in the same place, the kind that could ruin an entire painting.
"Miss Su, do you have anything to explain?" Qian Wenyun felt a little dissatisfied with Tang Yun. She had only heard her father say that Princess Rui was quite wise, but this was Princess Rui's wisdom.
?
Indulge your sister to do such a thing!
Su Xiaoxiao tightened her grip on the Bu Yao she had just obtained. Her mind, which had been dazzled by glory and wealth, sobered up, but she refused to admit her mistake.ωωw..net
What's wrong with her? This step belongs to Su Hua. Su Hua is here today because of her Su family's blessing. This step belongs to her of course!
Su Xiaoxiao refused to admit it, only said with red eyes: "Xiaoxiao just found out about it. I accidentally soiled everyone's paintings. I'm really sorry."
What an accident! They were all in the middle, and they were all ruined!
But here is Tang Junning, and no one dares to make a conclusion about Su Xiaoxiao before she expresses her position.
It's not okay to offend Princess Rui.
But this breath is still holding in my heart, it's hard to explain
Everyone could only be disappointed and angry at Tang Junning and Su Xiaoxiao.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why bother?" However, when Tang Junning opened her mouth, she didn't seem to be defending Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao panicked in her heart.
"You must agree with Xiaoxiao's words for my sake." She apologized, walked down from the seat, and apologized to everyone, "It's my fault as a sister, Xiaoxiao."
