Feng Linyuan smiled faintly: "The last time this marquis heard a song of this level, I spent ten silver. To be able to hear it today without spending a single coin, I truly have to thank Second Miss of Bai Family."
"Cough, cough!"
Hearing that, Bai Zheng wanted to laugh but was unable to, she choked on her tea.
Bai Di's face suddenly turned green.
What do you mean!" Feng Jingyang was the first to shout in anger, "You actually compare Di with those Mystical Mystical Mystical Mystical Mystical Mystics, Di is the daughter of the General Mansion!
"Your Highness is right. If Second Miss of Bai Family wants to collect silver, this marquis is willing to pay twenty silver. To show that in my heart, Second Miss of Bai Family is more precious than those geisha. "
"Phoenix, Lin, Yuan!"
Feng Jingxuan's expression had already become extremely ugly.
Bai Di's watery eyes immediately filled with tears, and said with tears: "Bai Di only wants to cheer the young masters up when they are resting, Third Sister doesn't know any zither skills, so as a sister, I'll help her out a bit. I didn't expect that in Master Hou's eyes, she would become a geisha that wouldn't stand a chance."
Bai Zheng lowered her head, covering the cold smile on her lips.
Zheng Yan was already unhappy with Feng Linyuan earlier, and when she saw Bai Di's aggrieved look, she immediately said angrily: "If not for Second Miss being considerate, and breaking Third Miss's encirclement, the person who went up to play the zither just now should be Third Miss, could it be that Dingyuan Marquis only understands how to admire Third Miss who can't play the zither, and is actually looking down on Second Miss whose zither skills are outstanding!"
Feng Linyuan smirked: "What this marquis has his eyes on, is not Third Miss's zither arts."
"That's right, Dingyuan Marquis has taken a fancy to Third Miss's eight word destiny! It doesn't matter if the Third Miss is an immoral or useless place, as long as she has these eight words, the Dingyuan Marquis wants to marry her and bring her home to provide for her! "
Bai Yinan and the Madame Lin could not help but frown, especially the protective Bai Yinan, he immediately said: "Although my daughter is not as talented as Di, but I have not reached the point where I have no morals or talents, please be careful with me, Miss Zheng."
Feng Jingye was originally happy to just sit and watch. Now that he saw Zheng Yan once again burn her words onto Bai Zheng, he said, "I don't even need you to worry about what my Third Miss of Bai Family is like. My Miss Zheng still needs to worry about herself."
Seeing that Zheng Yan had angered the masses once again, cold sweat broke out on Gaochang Marquis's forehead. She hurriedly rushed in front of Zheng Yan and said: "Third Miss of Bai Family's temperament is gentle and low-key, Second Miss of Bai Family's talents and skills are outstanding. The two misses each have their own charm, and are rare and wondrous women in the world."
Yan, you're still young, if you don't understand all of this, then don't spout nonsense. Eldest Princess Pingyang also said.
Zheng Yan's mouth was agape, and the Eldest Princess Pingyang glared at him, causing him to snort and turn her head away.
Seeing that the situation had turned out like this, the people who were praising Bai Di just now stopped, their expressions changing.
Bai Di's clear eyes revealed a trace of anger and shame. She looked around, and seeing that no one was speaking up for her, she bit her lips and looked at Su Muxiao without a trace.
Su Muxiao understood, and said leisurely: "Di, don't be sad too, in the end, you are blaming yourself for being born at the wrong time, if I didn't have such a good word, I would have done anything wrong."
Bai Di looked at Bai Zheng embarrassedly, lowered her head and slowly returned to her seat.
"You know how to learn poetry and the zither, but you don't know how to learn how to seduce people!" Seeing Bai Zheng taking her time and ignoring her, Su Muxiao said sinisterly.
When he said those words, Bai Yinan was so angry that his beard was almost blown away. Bai Zheng laughed lightly and then continued: "Cousin sister, it's not like you don't know that Dingyuan Marquis has a deep affection for you. Of all the men in this world, the only one who would fall in love with a girl would be the girl beside her. For such a deeply loyal person to be pursuing Zheng, I presume that Second Elder Sister would not even have enough time to be happy for him, so he shouldn't blame the Marquis. "
Bai Di bit her lips until they were a deep red and her eyes revealed traces of blood. She looked at Bai Zheng for a long time before slowly nodding: "Of course not."
"Don't worry about the Second Elder Sister, Master Hou originally had something to do with Zheng, if it was the Second Elder Sister's wedding banquet, the one being bullied would probably be Zheng, and at that time, for the sake of the Second Elder Sister, this man who likes the Second Elder Sister, not to mention bullying Zheng, she wouldn't even blink if she were to kill Zheng."
Feng Jingxuan's eyes shone with a bright light as he looked at Bai Zheng.
Bai Di's face changed slightly, she took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: How can that be, I don't even have enough time to love Zheng, how can I allow them to bully you.
A cute smile surfaced on Bai Zheng's lips, "Zheng knew that Second Elder Sister doted on Zheng the most."
Bai Di stiffened her face as she nodded, and did not speak any further.
The atmosphere turned cold.
Gaochang Marquis and Eldest Princess Pingyang looked at each other and laughed awkwardly: "The two ladies of Bai Family truly have a deep affection for sisters, I am envious."
As if to cover up their distress just now, when everyone heard this, they hurriedly replied, "That's right, that's right. The two young misses are so sensible, truly a blessing in disguise."
"Old General, this old man knows how to teach!"
"This is the way brothers and sisters should treat each other. The actions of the two misses are truly admirable."
When the praises were done and the words were repeated, Gaochang Marquis raised his right hand and signaled for everyone to quiet down.
"With the help of the Second Miss's zither, all the young masters should have had enough rest. Why don't we continue with the following competition?"
After experiencing this, everyone had awoken from their admiration for Bai Di. In order to redeem the points that they had lost to Bai Zheng due to praising him, they now almost jumped up, fighting to show their hand.
Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows, picking up a glistening orange from the table, peeling it while watching the show.
If the previous competition had been extremely intense and was similar to the Martial Arts Competition, then the current competition would have become a sideshow. Witnessing Feng Linyuan's half move just now to deal with the enemy, the young masters became obedient and completely changed into a new fighting style, showing off their own eighteen classes of martial arts.
Some learnt from Soong Yiqing, while others imitated his movements, and somersaulted a few times, as if they were set to slow down. Some poked him a few times, then carefully ran away, while some simply danced together as if they had discussed it beforehand, forming a set of sword techniques.
It was just that in the end, no one was like Soong Yiqing, willing to be beaten down by his opponent in just half a move.
It seems that the young masters of the Great Zhou still lack a sense of solidarity and collaboration, Bai Zheng silently cursed, and stuffed a piece of orange into her mouth. In the blink of an eye, she discovered that Feng Linyuan was looking at her with interest.
In the sword competition, they began with the conflict of swords and ended with laughter in the midst of no one knew whether they would laugh or cry.
"First in the competition, Dingyuan Marquis, second in the competition, young master Zhou of the War Department, third …" Gaochang Marquis announced the result.
Because no one challenged him this time, Feng Jingyi did not go up on stage, which resulted in him losing his points in the end. But he did not mind, and only smiled as he raised his wine cup towards Feng Linyuan: "Congratulations Marquis Dingyuan."
Feng Linyuan smiled slightly: "Thank you."
In the following matches, no matter how the ranking changed, Feng Linyuan was still firmly in the first place in an indescribable manner.
