"Then I don't know if it's okay if I exchange the same thing?" Mr. Zhang was not discouraged and continued.
"Then it depends on whether something like this can move me." The princess plucked the strings, and the flowing sound passed through her fingertips, clear and sweet.
I saw Mr. Zhang unhurriedly taking out a wolf-hair pen from behind and presenting it in front of the princess with both hands.
"Is it still eye-catching?" Mr. Zhang asked confidently.
"A crudely made pen, something that even a poor scholar doesn't use. Do you just want to impress me with this?" The princess looked at it with disdain, showing no interest at all.
Bai Haitang and Wintersweet were still squatting on the lawn, listening and watching.
"Sister Haitang, this princess really doesn't understand Young Master Zhang's thoughts. Young Master Zhang almost let a wolf eat him for that wolf hair..." Lamei said.
I thought that as a princess, she would have good moral character and become a model for women in the world, but Lamei was so disappointed.
"I know that Princess Princess has seen a lot of things inlaid with gold and silver, so she is no longer curious about them. The biggest feature of this wolf-hair pen is that I made it myself." Mr. Zhang said.
"Haha, all the pens in the world are made by craftsmen. The master's craftsmanship is beyond the realm of elegance, so you should keep it for yourself." After the princess finished speaking, she fiddled with the strings again.
"What if I tell you that I pulled this wolf hair from the neck of a wild wolf in Shuilian Mountain?" Mr. Zhang said.
"Then I don't want it even more. Those things were done by vulgar people in the mountains. If a dignified young man does these things, he is not afraid of making jokes if word spreads. He will lose Mr. Zhang's face." The princess sneered.
A cold, arrogant smell slowly emanated from her body.
"It seems that I can't impress the princess princess anymore..." Mr. Zhang sighed.
"What I don't understand is why you didn't go to Beijing to gain fame, become an official in the court, and show your ambitions in these years. Instead, you were mediocre and stubborn in this boring and small place." asked the princess.
"The princess doesn't understand the beauty of this wolf-hair pen, so how can she know my heart? Even though the beauty of the sky and the beauty of the country are so close, it seems like thousands of mountains and rivers are far away..." The young master said with a bitter smile.
"Sister Haitang, what does Mr. Zhang mean by that? You look so knowledgeable." Lamei asked in a low voice.
"It's just that we are not traveling together, so we cannot board the same boat." Bai Haitang explained.
"It means that the princess can no longer be the "beauty bowl" of Mr. Zhang," Lamei said, covering her mouth, quite gloating about her misfortune.
"The princess doesn't like people like Mr. Zhang who are idle and not doing their jobs properly. She likes people who are proactive, obtain fame, and have a promising career in the officialdom." Haitang said.
"Oh, just like Brother Datong." Lamei said.
"How could it be? With my background in Datong, even if I get the first prize, I'm afraid the princess will not look down on her. She is a relative of the emperor, and the person she will marry in the end will be a relative of the emperor. This is called a good match," Haitang said.
Mr. Zhang was a little disappointed and walked down the pavilion in frustration. Sometimes the person you like is right in front of you, but you can't capture her heart.
Mr. Zhang walked towards the banquet, where there were many people and things he wanted to socialize with.
Originally, at the annual birthday banquet, Mr. Zhang only focused on one thing, and that was the princess. Although today's confession has not been revealed, it can be seen that if he does not get the number one scholar and becomes a high-ranking official in the court, he will
I'm afraid the princess will never change her mind.
