Hou Yuebai saw that no one was competing with him and was secretly delighted. He hurriedly recited, "Autumn waters and silver hall mandarin ducks fly together, blue waters and everlasting heavens and drums accompany each other." He had hastily recited this couplet. Although the couplet was neat, the mandarin ducks and drums were very far-fetched. It could barely be considered a middle couplet.
Grand Mistress saw Luo Ning's frown and felt sorry for her. She couldn't help but ask Lin Wanrong, "Lin San, do you think this couplet matches?"
Lin Wanrong also felt a little apologetic towards Luo Ning. This time he didn't look after the monkey and made him face him. Hearing Grand Mistress's words, he said, "It should match."
"Is it better than him?" Grand Mistress asked again.
Lin Wanrong chuckled. "I'm a self-taught genius. I'm unconstrained and unrestrained. How can his couplet compare to mine. "
Grand Mistress gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, then get up. That's right, suppress that monkey prince."
Lin Wanrong was startled. Did I hear wrongly? Could it be that Grand Mistress has fainted?
Xiao Yuruo saw that he didn't dare to believe his eyes. She said angrily and bashfully, "That Miss Luo has done us a favor. We will naturally repay her. This is the human heart. But don't you have any ideas about her. If you do, you will be letting down Qiaoqiao, letting down Yushuang, letting down the Xiao Family, and letting down me. "
Lin Wanrong was a little dizzy. Letting down Qiaoqiao and Yushuang was still acceptable. But letting down the Xiao Family and letting down you? The Grand Mistress's face turned red. She snorted and didn't look at him anymore.
Luo Ning saw that no one was answering and Lin Wanrong was chatting happily with Lady Xiao. She felt bitter in her heart and sighed softly. Just when she was about to speak, she heard Lin Wanrong's voice, "Miss Lo, I also have a couplet."
Luo Ning was delighted. Hou Yuebai hurriedly interrupted, "I was the one who came up with this couplet first."
F * * k, you're called a gifted scholar in vain. How can you judge the order of couplets? Only the one with the best couplet has the right to speak. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Young Master Hou, don't be anxious. Listen to my couplet first before you speak. Miss Lo's couplet was' Mandarin ducks flying together in the autumn waters of the silver hall '. My couplet was' Heaven's wind and jade universe '. "
Everyone in the hall knew that Lin San's second verse was better than Master Hou's in terms of depth and concept. Needless to say, with this couplet, the Xiao Family's retainer won.
Luo Ning was shy and happy at the same time. She looked at Lin Wanrong gratefully. Lin Wanrong nodded at her proudly. The Grand Mistress snorted beside him, "What are you so proud of? Don't forget what I told you just now. Don't let Yushuang down."
Lin Wanrong chuckled. Luo Ning's face was bashful. She shyly came up with the third couplet, "Two phoenixes perch on the branches of the Chinese parasol tree —"
This couplet seemed to be a continuation of the previous one. Mandarin ducks flying together in the air and phoenixes perching on the Chinese parasol tree. Was this girl really in heat? Lin Wanrong looked at Luo Ning doubtfully.
The Grand Mistress's face darkened. The meaning of Luo Ning's words was quite suggestive of a courtship. The Grand Mistress gritted her teeth and said, "Lin San, you don't have to care about this couplet."
"Then should I still care about Young Master Monkey?" Lin Wanrong said.
The Grand Mistress said, "You don't have to care about him. I'll take care of him." As soon as she finished speaking, the Grand Mistress stood up and said, "Miss Luo, I can match your couplet. Two phoenixes perch on the branches of the Chinese parasol tree; Mandarin ducks stand side by side among the flowers."
"Wonderful, wonderful." Lin Wanrong was the first to applaud. The Grand Mistress and Luo Ning rolled their eyes at him at the same time. When the people in the hall saw that it was Lady Xiao who matched the couplet, they were very excited. It was not easy to see the scene of two talented women confronting each other.
When Luo Ning saw that it was Xiao Yuruo who matched the couplet, she was surprised at first and then embarrassed. She walked forward and held the hand of the Grand Mistress and said, "Sister Xiao, are you also making fun of me?"
Don't hit a smiling person. Besides, Lin San was indebted to Luo Ning. Lady Xiao also held her hand and said with a smile, "Miss Luo, these three couplets are out. The person you want to choose should also be chosen."
Luo Ning smiled gently and glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally. She said with a smile, "Of course I've chosen. The person I choose is you, Sister Xiao." The two women laughed and played around. Lin Wanrong sighed with emotion. Just now they were like fire and water, but now they were happy and harmonious. Women and tigers were really the two most terrible animals in the world.
Luoyuan pulled Lin Wanrong to the side of the old lady and said cordially, "Grandma, this is the eldest brother that grandson knows, Lin Wanrong. He also knows father and is very good with me and sister."
Lin Wanrong kowtowed respectfully, stood up and said with a smile, "Grandma, are you celebrating your 50th birthday today?"
The old lady said with a smile, "What are you talking about, child? I'm already 70 years old, how can it be my 50th birthday?"
Lin Wanrong said in surprise, "I see that you, old man, are blessed with a veil, you have a majestic aura, your face is rosy, your hair is white, and your face is youthful. You are obviously an old man in your 50s. I actually forgot that today is your 70th birthday.
I've sinned, I've sinned. "Luoyuan, who was at the side, sucked in a breath of cold air. This big brother's face was really thick, he could say anything. The old lady saw that although he was a small servant, his literary talent was extraordinary, and she was happy in her heart. She said with a smile, "Child, you really know how to say nice things. I saw that you and Ning 'er were also very clever and interesting. In the future, the two of you should interact more."
Luo Ning's face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely learn from Big Brother Lin in the future."
Lin Wanrong felt four cold lights shooting at his back. That Hou Yuebai was fine, but why was the Grand Mistress so angry? Even if there was hatred, it should be Yushuang who hated him. He really didn't understand.
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Since you are celebrating your birthday today, I wish that you will always be young, have a good temperament, good teeth, a good appetite, a delicious meal, flowers blooming, grandchildren marrying a good wife, and granddaughters choosing a good son-in-law. You will have hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren, and you will be rich and noble, and filled with good fortune."
When everyone in the hall heard his long string of wishes, they felt dizzy and sweaty. They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen such a shameless person. It was unknown which crack this Xiao Clan's servant had popped out from. His words and actions were completely lacking in etiquette. When the Grand Mistress heard this, she was angry and amused at the same time. But when she saw that the Luo Family's old lady was very happy, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. This bad person was born with a mouth, and there was no one in the world that he couldn't coax.
When the Old Lady heard this, her appetite was aroused, and she said with a smile, "Good, good, reward, reward."
Sweat, I haven't presented the diamond, but I have to make money first. Lin Wanrong was very happy in his heart. He took out a small diamond from his bosom, which was only one-third the size of the one he gave to Qiaoqiao, but the people in the hall had already exclaimed.
The diamond was crystal clear and bright, and at first glance, it was not a common thing. The people in the hall already knew the story of the House of Clear Rain, and suddenly realized that this was the legendary diamond from the west. Sure enough, it was uncanny and extraordinary.
Luo Ning covered her mouth in surprise, and stared at the shining diamond blankly. She really didn't expect that he would take out a diamond as a gift. Although it was not as good as the one he gave to Qiaoqiao yesterday, it was also very expensive, and there were only a few in China.
The attraction of diamonds to women was obvious. Luo Ning's heart was pounding, and the Grand Mistress was also confused. This Lin San was so generous. He had diamonds in his hands, but he didn't give one to me.
Lin Wanrong smiled and gave the diamond to the Old Lady, saying, "Old birthday girl, this is a diamond I got from the Westerners in Hangzhou last time. Today is your birthday, and I didn't prepare anything good in a hurry. This small stone can be counted as my birthday gift. You are so generous, you won't dislike my gift, right?"
The Old Lady took the diamond in her hand and looked at it left and right. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and said with a smile, "You have given such a big gift, but you still say that it is not a big gift. Ning 'er, your grandmother is old. This diamond is a token of Brother Lin's sincerity. I'll give it to you. You have to keep it well. Don't let Brother Lin's sincerity down. "
"Oh, Old Lady, your words will scare people to death." Lin Wanrong glanced and saw the Grand Mistress's murderous eyes looking at him over and over again. "But can you blame me? This old lady is in her seventies or eighties, and she really can't think clearly. It has nothing to do with me."
Luo Ning understood the meaning of the Old Lady's words. She was half shy and half angry, and she didn't dare to answer. But she really liked the diamond, so she took the diamond without saying a word, held it in her hand, and carefully played with it.
Lin Wanrong was very generous. Everyone knew what happened to him in Hangzhou, so they didn't feel strange that a small servant like him took out a diamond. However, seeing that Lady Xiao's face was not very good, although everyone was surprised, they could only keep it in their hearts.
"Sigh, I have always asked myself to be low-key, but I have never really been low-key. Life is really helpless." As Lin Wanrong was thinking coquettishly, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Prince Cheng's Heir, Young Prince Ning has arrived — —"
The hall was in chaos. Many people were whispering. It seemed that this Young Prince Ning was an extraordinary person. Cheng De and Tao Yu, who had been sitting quietly, also revealed happy expressions.
Lin Wanrong felt a little dizzy when he heard the words Prince and Heir. What bullsh * t, relying on the blessings of his ancestors to eat and drink and act mighty. Damn, I despise you.
Lomin was already outside the mansion to welcome a person. That person was around twenty years old. He wore a purple gold crown on his head and wore a yellow dragon robe. His body was slender, and his face was like jade. When he walked, he had an elegant demeanor. He didn't say anything, but he always smiled. He had an elegant temperament.
"Is this that Young Prince Ning?" The so-called prince's son and grandson really looked like a dog. Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered that he met Tao Dongcheng's master in the White Lotus Sect that day. Could it be him? Lin Wanrong suddenly stood up.
