Chapter 138: Old trees bloom new buds

Zhou Ruo stood for a while, his eyebrows slightly frowned, his fan was gathered, but his starry eyes deliberately looked into the distance to see the scenery. Zhou Hengmo was not concerned about Chen Ao who was muttering beside him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he snorted coldly with some disdain.

My cousin's temper has changed constantly. She was chatting and laughing with Shen Ao a few days ago, but today she looks different.

Chen Ao glanced at her secretly and couldn't help but smile. Miss Zhou was going to watch the Courtesan Competition? This was strange, but if you go, I will accompany you to the end.

Thinking of this in my heart, I always feel that my cousin’s attitude today is a little different. Could it be that I offended her?

Then she changed her mind again, but she still didn't care about so much, and she had such a weird temper and just ignored her.

Just as he was about to ask Zhou Heng to go to Suiya Mountain House to prepare first, he heard Zhou Ruo make a faint nasal sound, then he opened his cherry mouth and pointed the bones from afar, with an indescribable handsome and dashing style; he whispered: "Two curves seem to be frowning but not frowning, and his eyes seem to be happy but not happy, and his face is filled with sorrow, and his body is full of illness. Tears are dotted, and he is panting slightly..."

Hey, don’t you read this poem by my master? What does this mean?

Chen Ao suddenly woke up, Oh, is my cousin here to mock him?

After Zhou Ruo finished chanting, he clapped and laughed. Although this smile was covered by Lunshu and Confucian shirt, it seemed to have a charming appearance.

"Good poems, good poems..." Zhou Ruo shook his head as a sour scholar, glanced at his starry eyes and finally fell on Shen Ao: "What do you think Mr. Chen thinks this poem?"

Well, he didn't even call me cousin, but called Mr. Chen directly; his pretty face was very cold, and his silver teeth were nipped, as if he was very hated for Chen Ao.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Good poetry, good poetry." Then he stopped talking. This poem really caused him a lot of trouble. First, Zhen Zhen, and today he is a cousin. It seems that it is better for anonymous to write such poems afterwards.

Zhou Ruo sneered, but stopped talking with his lips.

The three of them were walking together, but two carriages were parked at the door. Zhou Ruo first entered the first one, and Chen Ao followed shamelessly and wanted to get in from the shaft. Zhou Ruo said coldly in the carriage: "What are you doing?"

Chen Ao said: "Of course I'm in the same car as my cousin."

Zhou Ruo sternly said: "Who said he wanted to have a car with you? Otherwise, I would ask two cars to do something?"

"Oh." Chen Ao nodded regretfully, but said with a smile: "I thought my cousin called two cars for one, and my cousin took one. My cousin was so strong and so large tonnage, I couldn't stand it."

Zhou Ruo was amused by Chen Ao's resentment, but quickly restrained her eyebrows. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, holding the fan bones to block Shen Ao's chest: "It's so inconvenient for men and women to have a car, so please ask Mr. Chen to squeeze with Master Zhou."

Chen Ao smiled and had to run to the back carriage to squeeze with Zhou Heng.

Early this morning, the atmosphere in Suiyashan Room became tense, with many tea guests, but the stairs leading to the second floor were kept tightly guarded.

When they arrived at Suiya Mountain Room, Chen Ao and the other two entered through the back door and happened to meet Wu Liuer. Today, Wu Liuer was in charge of the business, and she still seemed a little restrained and unfamiliar. When she saw Chen Ao, she was a little panicked.

Chen Ao smiled at him and asked Wu Liuer: "Where is Saner?"

Wu Liuer said: "Just upstairs, preparing for the courtesan's work."

Going to the second floor, Wu Saner came towards him. When he saw Zhou Ruo dressed in a woman, he was slightly stunned and quickly said to Zhou Ruo: "Hello Miss."

This is conditioned reflex. After working in Zhou’s mansion for a long time, I looked at Zhou Ruo’s cold face and frowned, and then he saluted with conditioned reflex.

Zhou Ruo bit his lip and said, "Where is Miss Pin'er? I... the young master wants to go and see it."

Chen Ao was a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, no, the fairy-like beauty always has to appear in the end."

Zhou Heng held his hand and looked at the two people who were tense, and couldn't help but think: "My cousin is miserable. Humph, say this, praise others as a fairy in front of my sister. According to my sister's temperament, I'm afraid I have to be angry."

Zhou Ruo was just shaking the fan, looking calm and clear, but there was a little cold light in his eyes as watery as light.

Wu Saner didn't know this, and she also smiled and said, "Brother Shen is right. Miss Pin'er is still trying on fittings and practicing. Brother Shen, the young master, and the young lady, let's sit in the wing room first."

After sitting for a while, Zhou Heng couldn't hold back and forth, walking back and forth in the room, constantly looking at the sky. Chen Ao was just drinking tea, but Zhou Ruo frowned, as if he was worried.

None of the three said anything, the atmosphere was a little awkward. After waiting for a long time, Wu Saner came over and said, "Brother Shen, Miss Pin'er is ready. There are still three hours left for the competition. Shouldn't it be time to go to the venue now?"

Chen Ao stood up and said, "Let's go."

When the three of them left the door, Zhou Ruo shook his fan and seemed to be looking at something, but the corridor was lonely and a little disappointed, so he followed Chen Ao and others downstairs. The carriages were ready-made. In addition to the two from Zhou Mansion, there were three parked under the weeping willows on the bank of the Bian River. One of the floats was even more exquisite. The newly painted painted on the body of the car was covered by the gauze curtains and appeared faintly, like a beauty who wanted to refuse and welcome, with a sense of luxury all over his body.

Zhou Ruo flattened his mouth and looked at the float and came out of the magical car. His pretty face turned red, but he spat.

After a while, under the custody of many maids and servants, a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure and a gauze covering her face was paced over. She was gently supported by two maids. No one could see her appearance clearly. Even her clothes were not luxurious, and no one could guess that this woman who came here was the most sensational figure in Bianjing City.

Walking to Chen Ao, Pin'er gave a little blessing and said, "Young Master..."

Chen Ao smiled softly, looked her up and down, and could not tell anything, and said meaningfully: "Get on the car, my courtesan lady."

Pin'er got on the float under the crowd. Chen Ao then looked away. He glanced at him, but saw Zhou Ruo frowned and sneered repeatedly.

Chen Ao leaned over and said deliberately: "My cousin, she has a bad wrinkle and a smile will make her more gorgeous."

Zhou Ruo stamped his feet and said angrily, "Who wants you to care! Humph!"

Zhou Ruo snorted coldly, then turned around and went to the carriage. Chen Ao was stunned for a while before he could come back to his senses!

It seems that Miss Zhou is very arrogant today! Be careful, be careful!

The wheels slowly turned, and the carriage trembled slightly. Zhou Ruo was sitting in the carriage with his eyebrows slightly frowned and his chest slightly undulating. He was really angry.

That Chen Ao used to see himself like a fly seeing blood. Now he saw that Pin'er, but he ignored him. He knew the power of the horse from afar and saw people's hearts over time. He said it is really right.

Zhou Ruo was extremely sad when he thought of Chen Ao's eyes just now.

The courtesan competition is located in the Fantai of Quecheng. The so-called Fantai is said to be Shikuang Chutai in the Spring and Autumn Period. King Xiao of Liang of the Han Dynasty built it. The main hall covers a very wide area and can accommodate thousands of people. The periphery is a wall that stretches for several miles, occupying the most prosperous area in Quecheng.

On the side of Fantai, there are many temple buildings. If you are in the temple fair, it will definitely be crowded.

The carriage was parked outside the wall of the Fantai, and the group protected Pin'er and was about to enter the hall; a float stopped not far away, and dozens of men and women supported one person and landed on the ground. Chen Ao looked at him and saw who was not Zhenzhen?

Enemies are narrow!

Chen Ao's neck shrank, and he tried to hide behind Zhou Heng. If Zhenzhen saw him joining Pin'er to participate in the competition, she would not know what it would be like, but she would be careful. She was afraid of her fate recently, so it would be better to cause less trouble.

He entered the hall in a hurry, but the open-minded hall was deserted. It was still early and the spectators had not arrived yet. First, they asked Pin'er to sit in the ear room. Chen Ao accompanied Wu San'er to give Pin'er a try.

The person who presided over the conference was quite a bit of a small person. He was the former Minister of Rites who retired. In this era, visiting prostitutes was a romantic event. Presiding on this grand event would not only not embarrass the former Minister, but might also add a romantic event to the scholars.

The so-called old vines and old trees are new buds! Haha, Chen Ao looked at the former minister and couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this old saying.

The former minister's surname is Xu, and his name is just a word. Lord Xu retired two years ago and is now at the age of 70. He is rare in his seventies. His white hair, gray-haired and dull teeth, and old-fashioned Lord Xu, has such elegance. It is rare, rare. The so-called "The younger wave of the Yangtze River pushes the older wave". The younger wave has passed one wave after another, but the previous wave is still fighting on the front line. This younger wave really makes Chen Ao, the younger generation, have to be ashamed!

He bowed to Lord Xu and put it close. Xu Wei stroked his whisper, but his turbid eyes just looked at Chen Ao for a moment, with a stern face, resolutely not being tempted by Chen Ao, and waved his sleeves and said, "After clicking Mao, go to the ear room and sit, don't stroll around, and don't cause trouble."

Chen Ao was bored and couldn't help but think: "You can be the host with your eyes like this? It's amazing. Is your eyes good?"

Chen Ao complained in his heart, and pulled Wu Saner back to the ear room. The place was arranged in a more comprehensive manner. As soon as Chen Ao and the others arrived, someone brought a refreshment immediately. Everyone gathered around the table to eat and drink. Zhou Heng said, "Cousin, do you know the allusion of this courtesan competition?"

There are allusions in the Courtesan Competition? This is the first time Chen Ao has heard of it.

Seeing Chen Ao's puzzled look, Zhou Heng explained with understanding: "The first time this courtesan competition was hosted by His Highness the Great Prince. His Highness is kind-hearted and dislikes the court affairs. He usually goes out to wander around in a silly manner except reading books. One day he went to the flower garden and suddenly became inspiration and planned the flower garden competition. At that time, it was the Shishi girl from the flower garden that took the lead. Since then, although the eldest prince no longer participated, the market has spontaneously planned it. Now the fourth session of the flower garden competition has been held."

He is the eldest prince again, the eldest prince is so leisurely and at ease. It is the treasure appraisal conference and the courtesan competition!

Chen Ao smiled slightly, and an unpredictable light flashed in his eyes. The emperor, Shishi, the eldest son of the emperor, the courtesan, won the title. This eldest son of the emperor did not ignore the court affairs, and did not dare to pay attention to it! He did not dare to be honest by nature, and did not dare to be honest! As for the so-called inspiration, I am afraid that it is mostly flattering his father.
