Gu Pianran glanced at Bei Lin from the corner of her eyes, but she saw that he didn’t even look at her. The smile on the corner of her lips faded slightly, but when she met Tang Jingyu’s gaze, she smiled charmingly again.
Tang Jingyu curled his lips, and his tender eyes were full of doting.
Gu Pianran said with a smile, “I’ll come up with the first line, and then let’s randomly select a gentleman to come up with the second line, okay?”
The Third Prince Gu Hanyu nodded, “Okay.”
The other children of the noble families nodded one after another. Only Bei Lin turned a deaf ear to the outside world and drank his wine by himself.
Gu Pianran opened her red lips slightly, “The moon shines on the treetops during the Qingming Festival.”
The young masters of the noble families present all showed approving expressions and looked at Gu Pianran with different eyes. Before, they just thought that she was someone brought by Tang Jingyu and was an insignificant existence.
Even though her family was the imperial merchant Gu family, in their eyes, merchants were merchants. Even imperial merchants were people of the lower nine classes and could not be on the stage.
Gu Pianran was naturally aware that her status did not attract the attention of the young masters from aristocratic families. If she wanted them to focus their attention on her, she had to let them understand her and see her other side.
Talent is her biggest reliance.
Although it is said that ‘a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent’, a talented woman can gain more respect from the outside world and be looked up to by others.
Gu Pianran knows this too well.
Now that she had such a good opportunity, how could she let it go?
Besides, she had no shortage of poetry and songs. With thousands of years of famous poetry and songs, there was no way she would not have the opportunity to make a splash.
The Third Prince exclaimed: “Not bad, not bad. I wonder who Miss Gu is going to ask to answer the second couplet.”
Gu Pianran smiled sweetly. Her beautiful eyes turned around on them for a few circles and finally stopped on Bei Lin.
“Everyone present has come up with the second couplet, except Young Master Bei who has not yet come up with it. How about you match the second line?”
Gu Pianran looked at him with a smile.
Bei Lin finally raised his head and glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her flirting with him.
The Third Prince Gu Hanyu knew that he didn’t like Tang Jingyu, so he naturally wouldn’t like the woman Tang Jingyu brought with him. He didn’t dare to ask Bei Lin to help, which would be a shame.
His goal today was to win over Bei Lin, not to make Bei Lin dislike him.
After Bei Lin glanced at her, he turned his head, looked at the Third Prince and others, bowed his hands, and said, “I am a rough man. You can let me wield swords and guns, but as for reciting poems and writing couplets, please let me go.”
The Third Prince Gu Hanyu immediately laughed and said, “Hahaha, Bei Lin, you are so honest.”
Bei Lin smiled and said, “Instead of pretending to be rich, it’s better to tell the truth.”
The young masters around him all laughed and agreed with him.
However, for Gu Pianran who proposed it, this was tantamount to slapping her in the face.
The smile on Gu Pianran’s face froze on her lips, and her eyes were full of grievance.
Tang Jingyu watched his woman being bullied like this, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. This anger naturally went to Bei Lin.
He had repeatedly tolerated Bei Lin last time, but now he is going even further. Does he really think he is a clay man?
Gu Hanyu glanced at Gu Pianran and naturally saw her grievance, but compared with Bei Lin, her grievance was not taken to heart at all.
Instead, Tang Jingyu said: “Brother…”
The last word ‘in-law’ was stopped immediately under Bei Lin’s knife eyes.
