Chapter 145: Two women compete for a beautiful meal

Just as Yao Ruoyu and Li Qingzhao were talking, Lu Chenghuan had already brought a group of people to Chen Qiaojun and others like a group fight.

After the two sides settled down, they calmed down for a few breaths. Then Chen Qiaojun bowed and said with a smile, "Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"You are polite to City Lord Chen. I haven't seen you for many days. Why do I miss Cheng Huan?" Lu Chenghuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled. He walked forward with a warm and warm manner to hold Chen Qiaojun's arm, and he was in a posture of swimming with his arms.

Chen Qiaojun was not dissatisfied with Lu Chenghuan's sudden intimate behavior, and also held Lu Chenghuan's hand very affectionately, and smiled and said, "I haven't come to Jiaxing for a long time, and the changes in the city are very different from those a few months ago!"

Lu Chenghuan likes to show off, just the kind of person who dares to open a dyeing workshop if he gives some color. When he sees Chen Qiaojun's rival, he laughs out loud and said, "Haha! It's not all about the reputation of the number one beauty in Jiangnan. But in a few days, the guests in the city gathered together, which is very lively!"

"Yes, the number one beauty in Jiangnan is indeed famous," Wen Wan smiled, Chen Qiaojun narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly, "What a pity, I sent someone to invite her to Ningbo to hold a poetry meeting a few months ago. I remember she had already agreed, but somehow she came to you Jiaxing. Alas, it was a waste of it!"

Yao Ruoyu almost laughed out loud when he heard this from afar. Chen Qiaojun seemed gentle as water, but in fact he was hiding a needle in a cotton wall. The words just now were obviously accusing Lu Chenghuan of intercepting the fool halfway and bringing Jiaxing the number one beauty in Jiangnan who was originally going to Ningbo.

Of course, Lu Chenghuan also heard this meaning, and immediately sneered, and smiled casually, "My Jiaxing Nanhu Lake has beautiful scenery and elegant demeanor. If you want to hold a poetry competition, it will naturally be more suitable here."

"Oh? Is that?" Chen Qiaojun smiled and said lightly, "I am a mighty and vast ocean. It is better than the extravagant literary sensation of a certain person?"

The fox's eyes glared, and Lu Chenghuan sneered, "The sea is majestic, but it is suitable for reckless men to fight. Only Nanhu is so beautiful and graceful that it is suitable for writing poetry and lyrics and singing silk and bamboo."

Lu Chenghuan has always been in a prosperous and full of aura. Although Chen Qiaojun seems much weaker, he is a needle hidden in the cotton. He seems weak, but in fact he has a sharp edge. The two women communicate for only a moment and are full of taste.

Everyone around naturally realized this, but the two city lords quarreled, so of course they didn't dare to interfere. Besides, the two girls would argue every time they met. After a long time, everyone just regarded it as a drama, and there was no intention of dissuasion.

Yao Ruoyu looked at it for a while and suddenly his eyes lit up. Although Lu Chenghuan and Chen Qiaojun were both wearing fox fur coats, they were red and baskets, like a white fox and a blue fox. With the different styles of the two women, he actually gave him an inexplicable pleasing feeling.

Just as Yao Ruoyu was watching the two girls arguing with enthusiasm, the crowd suddenly became a commotion again. Then he saw a young girl in a red fox fur coat walking out of the crowd and sighed, "Two sisters, why are you fighting again?"

"Zhang Yi, you're here just right!" Seeing the girl in red appear, Lu Chenghuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed her, and sneered, "Someone couldn't invite the best beauty in Jiangnan. She was envious, jealous and hatred. Please tell her, don't have the eyes too red."

Chen Qiaojun smiled gently when she heard this, "It's interesting, interesting. Some people have obviously intercepted such thief-like behavior halfway, but they are proud of it. Alas, it's really ridiculous and ridiculous."

The woman in red named Zhang Yi saw that Lu Chenghuan was about to turn around and refute, and quickly stopped him. Then she grabbed the two girls and whispered, finally stopping the farce.

"That's Zhang Yi, the daughter of the Shaoxing City Lord." Without waiting for Yao Ruoyu to look at him, Li Qingzhao had already introduced with a smile.

Seeing Li Qingzhao introducing herself for the fourth time, Yao Ruoyu touched her nose with a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "I thought she was another city lord."

"Do you think the city lord is so easy to be like?" I couldn't help but give him a blank look, and Li Qingzhao chuckled, "Besides, Cheng Huan and Qiaojun are both talented women who have been famous all over the world since childhood. In addition, they have excellent governance experience, so they can be so young and become the city lord without reaching the fifth realm."

Such a gentle woman suddenly rolled her eyes, which made Yao Ruoyu stunned. Then he came to his senses and said with a smile, "So, can you be the chief of the civil affairs department of a province?"

"Are you making fun of me?" Li Qingzhao curled her lips slightly and smiled, "Although I am a little satisfied with poetry, I am not confident in internal affairs. Not to mention the chief executive, I dare not have any greed even if I am the chief clerk."

"Is this humble?" Yao Ruoyu shrugged and smiled, "After all, he is the best talented woman in the ages. Why is she so humble? You must know that being too humble is pride!"

"It's not humble, it's just the fact," said Li Qingzhao with a wry smile and bowed to Yao Ruoyu. "Can you please stop mentioning the best talented woman in the ages? If it is spread, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at me, Li Qingzhao, who knows the world is so rich."

I wanted to say a few more jokes, but seeing the bitterness in Li Qingzhao's eyes, Yao Ruoyu consciously put away his laughter and bowed, "It's Yao that's too much, please don't be angry."

Shaking his head, Li Qingzhao said softly, "It's not that you're angry. The young master's words are quite interesting, and his style is very different from that of my Song people. Could it be that they are from other countries?"

Seeing Li Qingzhao testing his origin, Yao Ruoyu smiled helplessly and clasped his fists and said, "Yao is indeed a native of Jiaxing. He has only moved to Chongqing with his parents since childhood and came back yesterday."

"Chongqing?" Li Qingzhao's apricot eyes lit up slightly and she said curiously, "Did the young master know about Dawen City State?"

"Of course, I know, how could I not know what is famous in China?" Yao Ruoyu replied with a slight hint of his lips.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qingzhao whispered, "Dare you ask, where to promote officials there is really only judging talent, and there is no difference between men and women?"

Seeing Yao Ruoyu's eyes stunned, Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly and explained, "Originally, the Hezhou incident was just a traitor's separatist rule for us. Unexpectedly, it was reported that the city-state had formed two governments and five ministries soon after, and several of the senior officials were women, so we and scholars talked a lot about this."

"Oh? Can you tell me?" Yao Ruoyu immediately became interested and asked with a smile.

"Most people think it's a fantasy, and even more, the King of Hezhou is nepotism and lustful. Those women must have had a relationship with him, so they can become senior executives." Li Qingzhao replied shyly with a slightly red face.

Hearing this, Yao Ruoyu's face suddenly became strange. Now the only ones who serve as high-ranking officials in the fifth ministries of the Second Mansion are Xu Xuanrong, Wu Xue and Hou Jingru. Xu Xuanrong and Hou Jingru will not mention it for now. If he dares to have any strange thoughts about Wu Xue, he is afraid that Song Kai will secretly poison him.

After reading this, Yao Ruoyu habitually wanted to help off her glasses, but she showed that the glasses were already in the inn in front of the door, so she could only touch her nose, and then laughed and said, "What do you think, Miss Li?"

Shaking his head, Li Qingzhao said softly, "I haven't been there in person, and I can't tell the truth. But the little girl has a few friends in Chongqing. A few days ago, they even wrote to me, saying that Xu Xuanrong, the Minister of Personnel of the City State, was a rare talent. They admired him and wanted to go to the city state."

Yao Ruoyu thought about it and smiled shamelessly, "I heard that the King of Hezhou is polite and noble, generous and kind. If they go to join us, as long as they have good talents, they will definitely be able to find a good position."

Seeing Yao Ruoyu praise the King of Hezhou so much, Li Qingzhao's eyes suddenly had a strange look, and she smiled and said, "Why do that King of Hezhou seem to have the same surname as the young master?"

Seeing Li Qingzhao's suspicion in her eyes, Yao Ruoyu knew that the other party was suspicious, and immediately smiled and said, "Yes! Unfortunately, I was born in Jiaxing. If I were in Chongqing, I might have a relationship with him, but I could take the opportunity to go and surrender."

Shaking his head slightly, Li Qingzhao said softly, "The blood relationship is not weak, but he still needs to rely on his own ability to act. Although the young master is free and unrestrained in his words, he also has some rules. I believe that if he works hard, his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to that King of Hezhou."

Yao Ruoyu laughed and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your praise! I hope what the girl says will come true."

Just as the two were joking, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Just when Yao Ruoyu thought someone was there, everyone suddenly walked towards Yanyu Tower.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao understood and smiled and said, "I guess it's the number one beauty in Jiangnan is about to show up."

"Oh?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Then you have to go over and take a look."

Seeing his face full of anticipation, Li Qingzhao felt a little sad and smiled, "Is the young master so surprised?"

Yao Ruoyu didn't notice the strange color on Li Qingzhao's face, and laughed and said, "Luxury is human nature. As I just said, don't women also like handsome men? Will they like ugly ones? Besides, it's not illegal to see?"

Without waiting for Li Qingzhao to answer, Yao Ruoyu waved his hand and signaled to enter Yanyu Tower first. Then he walked and said with a smile, "But no matter how much you like, you will marry him home. After all, you are pretty and cannot be eaten as a food. You still need to be as talented as a girl!"

The taboos in later generations are not as strict as they are now. Yao Ruoyu's words just now have no special meaning. They are just a joke. However, Li Qingzhao had never heard such explicit words, and her pretty face turned red and she was shy and could not speak.

While speaking, the two of them had already followed the crowd back to Yanyu Building. Yao Ruoyu looked around and saw Song Kai, Jiang Siyu and Bing Diandian still sitting there, but they were all lying their heads and looking at the stairs, obviously looking forward to the appearance of the number one beauty in Jiangnan.

At this time, Yanyu Building was already crowded. Whether it was literati, scholar, wealthy, businessman and powerful, they all stayed in the lobby under the stairs, looking forward to the beauty who was known as the number one in Jiangnan going downstairs.
