Three days later, Chu Qingwan went to the appointment as scheduled.
In addition to her, Roujia also invited many famous ladies and ministers' legitimate daughters. They gathered together, and at first glance they were all beauties.
Roujia personally welcomed Chu Qingwan to the main hall and said to everyone: "This is the Doctor Chu I told you about. She is now helping Brother Jingyu's leg, which is amazing."
The noble ladies let out a soft cry, which sounded like surprise.
Roujia added: "Doctor Chu also has an identity that I believe you are all familiar with."
Chu Qingwan had a bad premonition in her heart, and as expected, she heard Roujia say: "Master Chu, the Minister of Household Affairs, everyone knows, right? Doctor Chu is her daughter."
Someone in the crowd raised a question: "The Miss Chu I have seen before is different from Doctor Chu. Princess, have you mistakenly recognized the person?"
Roujia smiled lightly: "Look what you said, are my eyes just for show?"
"You, you only know one thing but not the other. Dr. Chu is Mr. Chu's living daughter. She was found five years ago and lived in the Chu Mansion for half a year."
With this mention, the scandal that caused a storm in the city five years ago was also brought out.
Everyone's eyes immediately changed when they saw Qingwan, and they all covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and whispered to the people around them.
"She was the one who was kicked out of Chu Mansion for getting pregnant out of wedlock."
"You should not be judged by appearance. Look at her bright eyes, white teeth, and extraordinary temperament. Who would have thought that she would be so shameless?"
"Princess, what are you doing? Inviting this kind of person to participate in the poetry meeting is not bringing us down."
"That's right..."
The sound of discussion was heard, and Rou Jia was secretly proud. She wanted to see Chu Qingwan embarrassed and angry, but she saw her eyes were cold, as if she didn't care at all.
Chu Qingwan really didn't care.
She had heard this kind of talk too many times and had long been unmoved. Rou Jia chose the wrong way to show off her power.
Chu Qingwan slightly curled his lips and moved a thousand pounds: "A horse stumbles, a man stumbles, and he is accidentally calculated by others. It is worth talking about in public. I think this is the only thing in your mind."
In just a few sentences, he not only explained what happened back then, but also secretly scolded everyone for not thinking about their true career.
But she was smiling, and her smile was so broad and bright that it made people want to have a seizure.
A trace of anger flashed in Roujia's eyes, and she quickly smoothed things over: "Really, what are you talking about? Since it's a poetry gathering, we should make friends with poetry. Okay, the pavilion has been decorated, let's go there."
The pavilion was built in the middle of the lake. It is spacious and elegant. A gauze curtain has been hung to block the sun. Tables and chairs are arranged in an orderly manner. Exquisite snacks and tea are placed on the table. An ice basin is placed next to each small table to relieve the heat.
Chu Qingwan was placed at the end. She raised her eyebrows slightly and sat down without saying anything.
Seeing how quickly Roujia accepted it, her chest felt tight again.
The Hongmen Banquet was known as a poetry club, so Roujia had to show off.
After raising a glass and inviting everyone to drink together, she said: "Good wine is rare, so the poetry meeting will begin with the theme of 'wine'. What do you think?"
There was a chorus of agreement at the table, and the two ladies, who were famous for their talents, volunteered and composed a poem, which won applause from the whole room.
Roujia said cheerfully: "As expected of my famous talented girl in Dayan, reward me!"
The two ladies thanked him and returned to their seats, accepting the compliments from both sides. They seemed to say casually: "I heard that Dr. Chu also has a lot of research on poetry. Can you let us have a look at it today?"
Chu Qingwan wanted to ask her where she heard it from, but she thought that if she opened her mouth, the other party would have something else waiting for her, so she spared her time.
Looking at her behavior today, Roujia is determined to make her look embarrassed. How can she let her get her wish?
Her talent and learning are average, but there are so many sages and poets throughout the ages, and she can't beat them with just any one of them?
