After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

Shen Li instinctively felt that it wouldn't be that simple. It was true that Gu Cheng and Huo Nanlian loved their son, but they didn't like her. They didn't agree with Shen Yanyan, perhaps because of her background, but they wouldn't necessarily agree to Gu Cheng'an marrying her.

"I think there may be other reasons, but we just didn't think of them. Don't you think it's strange that this happened? Shen Yanyan only hooked up with you because she wanted to help Gu Cheng'an. What's the benefit for her? Did she really want to hook up with you? She hoped that you would fall in love with someone else and truly like her? And then marry her?"

Qin Yu glanced at her carefully and said, "Ali, how could I fall in love with someone else? Don't worry, I will never change my mind. You are the only one in my heart. I swear."

Shen Li looked at him calmly and said, "Oh, if you really change your mind, I have nothing to say. At worst, I will marry someone else. Anyway, someone will definitely marry me. What do you think of this Gu Chengan? How about I marry him and give it a try?"

"No, A-Li, don't make such a joke. You know there's nothing between Shen Yanyan and me, and it's impossible for me to like her. But you're right, their purpose shouldn't be that simple."

Shen Li yelled in annoyance: "Oh! I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm so fed up. Please deal with the rumors in Kyoto now. I'm fed up with them. We can't let them continue like this."

Qin Yu grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, don't let those irrelevant people affect your mood. Leave the rumors to me, and you just watch. The wind direction will change soon."

"Have you thought of a solution?"

"Treat others in their own way."

As expected, a few days later, new rumors appeared in Kyoto.

At this time, Liu Xin was describing the story to Shen Li in vivid detail.

"Miss, you don't know, everyone in the teahouse is talking about it now, it's so lively."

"What did you say?"

"That is to say, Lord Qin and Miss are childhood sweethearts, and Madam Qin has already given you the heirloom, and has long since tacitly accepted you as the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. She also said that you and Lord Qin have been through a lot together, and outsiders can no longer interfere with the relationship between you two."

Shen Li nodded as he listened: "Then there is no rumor about Shen Yanyan?"

"Yes, I was just about to say that, Miss. They all say that Shen Yanyan is just wishful thinking and that she and Lord Qin live in the same village and there is no love between them."

"It seems that Qin Yu's news was quite successful. If that's the case, the previous rumors will be refuted."

"Miss, your brother-in-law is really amazing, but is this all true?" Liu Xin asked curiously.

"Basically, they are all real." As for the heirloom, it was given as a gift, but it is assumed that it belongs to the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, which doesn't seem to be the case, right?

"Oh, by the way, Miss, someone sent you a visiting card today." Liu Xin said, and hurriedly handed the card in her hand to Shen Li.

When Shen Li opened it, she found that it was sent by Linfeng Pavilion, and asked her to meet at Linfeng Pavilion tomorrow.

She knew about Linfeng Pavilion, but she had never been there. It was a famous place for listening to music in Kyoto. Like Fengming Tower in Xiezhou Prefecture, the women there only sold their art and not their bodies. But there was something different about this place in Kyoto.

There are performers here, not only women but also men.

She has nothing to do with Linfeng Pavilion, so why would the owner of the pavilion send a visiting invitation to her?

"Miss, are you going tomorrow?"

"Of course I went. How would I know what it was if I didn't go?"

"I know."

Shen Li glanced at her: "You know?"

"Well, I heard when I was in the teahouse that the Linfeng Pavilion is going to hold an annual competition. This is considered a big event in Kyoto. All the men and women who perform there have to participate in the competition to select the best performer in the new music hall. Miss, I also heard that this best performer is not simple. Although he is nominally the best performer in Linfeng Pavilion, he is actually the best performer in Kyoto music."

When he performed in the palace last time, wasn't it said that Lord Yu Ze was the best in Kyoto music? Could he be better than him? Shen Li thought about this and then thought about why the owner invited her to meet him. Did he want her to help out?

The second day, at Feng Pavilion.

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm the owner of this place, Lu Hongmian. I asked you to come here because I have something to ask of you."

"Master Lu, you don't have to be polite. Just speak directly."

"Ms. Shen is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. I'm sure you've heard that a competition will be held in our museum soon, and I'd like to invite you to be the judge for the pipa," said Lu Hongmian.

Shen Li raised his eyebrows: "Master Lu, I can play the pipa, but can I be a judge?"

Lu Hongmian smiled and said, "Miss Shen, there is no need to be modest. Everyone knows that during the Lantern Festival banquet, Miss Shen's pipa music amazed everyone. Even Lord Yu Ze felt inferior to her. So Miss Shen is naturally qualified to be the judge."

"I can only play the pipa. As for music theory, I am not proficient in it. Why don't you ask Master Yu Ze to come?"

"Master Yu Ze will come naturally. He comes every year. But there can't be only one judge. In addition to him, there are two others. One is Gong Rong, the musician in the palace, and the other is Master Wen Zhu. If the young lady agrees, there will be five people this year."

Shen Li thought about it. Among the five people, the last one should be Lu Hongmian herself.

"There is something I can't figure out, please enlighten me, Master."

"Miss, please speak."

"Does your Linfeng Pavilion hold this selection contest every year?"

"Yes, young lady, you have been in Kyoto for a short time, so you may not know that the musicians in our Linfeng Pavilion have excellent skills. Ordinary people cannot get in, but everyone has their own abilities and no one wants to admit anyone else, so we have to hold this competition. As long as you can get first place, your reputation and status will be known. Moreover, in terms of music theory and skills, the first place selected here should be unmatched by many people in Kyoto. If you cut off the head and tail, he will be considered the number one in music theory in Kyoto."

Shen Li suddenly realized that this was the first person's situation: "If I agree, what should I do specifically?"

In fact, she still wanted to go, although she knew that her music theory level might not be enough to be a judge, but she wanted to watch the fun, and no one was more suitable to watch the fun than a judge.

But she was also afraid of trouble, so she still had to ask what needed to be done.

"Miss, you don't have to do anything. You just need to select the person you think plays the song best on that day."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Lu Hongmian said.

"Okay then, I agree. When does the selection start?"

"Three days later."
