Chapter 11 Public PK

Ah Luo kept on reminding Juan Er not to revealed what had happened at the shore. As for Juan Er, how would she dare to say it? If the third miss did not say it, it was already lucky enough. So she nodded her head and promised.

Ah Luo walked to Gu household's tent and announced lightly: " This servant is from Li household, I am here on behalf of my Furen to send over some flower to Gu Furen."

There was a kind voice that got through the tent: "Please come in."

Ah Luo lowered her head and raised her arms to present the flowers that were picked just now. She heard that kind voice said: "You Furen is really polite. It is rude not to repay courtesy. Hexin, you follow this guniang to her tent to thank Li Furen and also send some of these fruits over."

That servant immediately followed the order, took a plate of fruits and walked out of the tent.

Ah Luo was quite disappointed as there was no trace of the Gu family's daughter, Miss Zilin. Why was there only Gu Furen and two of her servants? She glanced at the side of Hexin, and suddenly realized that she was a beauty. Her head was raised slightly and her slender and porcelain milky neck was revealed. Her hand was smooth and fair as well. Ah Luo smiled at her: "Hexin jiejie, you are so pretty. Could your household's miss be prettier?

Hexin revealed a hint of smile at the corner of her lips. Ah Luo was in dazed as she was thinking that if Qinglei was as cool as the blue breeze, the this Hexin was as light as the petals of chrysanthemum. She suddenly had a feeling that this maiden was one of the Feng city's two beauties, Gu Tianlin.

Hexin smiled light and said: "Are the servants in Li Household all as clever as meimei?"

Ah Luo was again shocked and beamed: "Yes ah, it was a pity all of them are servants. I am not one bit of Hexin jiejie's little finger."

While talking, the two of them saw there was a group of people in the opposite gazebo had looked at them in a daze. They were all thinking the servant who came out from Gu household. She was dressed neatly yet alluring as the moon. All were thinking about how beautiful is the daughter of Gu household.

Hexin then walked to the outside of the tent of Li household to express their thanks. The Big Madam wanted to summon her to go in but Ah Luo took over the plate of fruits from Hexin and blinked her eyes: "Hexin jiejie, I will help you to send the fruits in, I will not drag waste your time as you need to attend Gu Furen."

Hexin also smiled: "I somehow need to meet and express my thank."

Ah Luo replied: "It is better not. Our furen will recognize you somehow. The servant of Gu household, is it not embarrassing, Tianlin jiejie?"

Hexin kept her silent. Her smile on her face was unfazed. She thought about it carefully. If she really used a servant's status and bowed to Li Furen using to the servant's way, it was really not so ideal. Hence, she reached out her hand and pinched Ah Luo's cheek: "Little devil, come to Gu household and play with me when you are free!"

Before she left, she lowered her voice and asked: "Are you really just a servant in Li household?"

Ah Luo kept on smiling and refused to answer. It was true to her guess, Hexin was Gu Tianlin. It looked like she also had wanted to have a look at Li Qinglei's appearance! She did not even hesitate to pretend as a servant. It was a pity as she did not think about the consequence of it if her status was exposed. Ah Luo's effort in stopping her was also good. It can prevent the left and right prime ministers to hold a grudge just because of this matter. She still wanted to live a peaceful life for a few more years in the household.

Looking at the graceful back, Ah Luo smiled inwardly, lifted the veil and walked in. The Big Madam looked at Qingluo suspiciously wondering why she did she stopped the servant from the Gu household to go in.

Qingluo smiled and said: "I already saw the maiden from Gu household." She successfully changed the topic of discussion. The few of them surrounded Qingluo and listened to her description. Qinglei who had hung a mild smile, acted as if she did not care about it. Once she heard Qingluo said that Gu Tianlin was a graceful and intelligent maiden, she sneered lowly. There was a hint of disdain on her face. Ah Luo sighed inwardly.

'This Dajie is indeed good but she is too prideful.'

The Big Madam asked again: "What else did you hear of? Did you manage to meet the two princes?"

Ah Luo was out of word while Juan Er started to look pale. Qingluo answered straightforwardly, "I did not see the two princes. However, the maiden from the Wang family is not as pretty as Dajie. Not even prettier than Erjie."

Qinglei and Qingfei could not help but smiled.

Princess Huguo had made an announcement: "Such beautiful scenery, if there is someone who is willing to play the guqin, it will beautify the scenery more. I heard that Gu household's maiden and Li household's maiden were named as the dual perfect talents in Feng city. Both are equivalent in guqin. One does not know if both of you are willing to present Bengong a song?

Ah Luo was excited.

'This is a public PK competition ah!'

There was an echo of reply after a while. The two families will not dare to disappoint the princess. The Big Madam respected the left prime minister household and hence invited the Gu household's maiden to play first.

A little while later, a melody transmitted from the tent from the beside. It was melodious and clear in tune. It sounded like what Qingluo had heard from a famous poet Qu Yuan.

She then heard a melodious voice expressing: "The blue sky and air from the valley, nobody had pointed the direction, if silence engulfs a person, who will be against who."

In one glance, one can be sure of how clear the heart of Miss Gu Tianlin. She was expressing her voice clearly through her music.
