Chapter: 133 out of 513 – Even if you give a jade crown hat to a pig, the pig will still be a pig (2)
A couple of women by Luo Qianqian’s side harrumphed.
One of them said, “That title isn’t important. Everyone still knows that Qianqian is the most talented poetess. For example, even if a nobleman doesn’t wear a jade crown hat, he’s still a nobleman. And, even if you give a jade crown hat to a pig, the pig will still be a pig.”
Qian Yingchen couldn’t resist quietly laughing. But, it was only for a brief moment. He quickly returned to normal and solemnly said, “Anyone that wants to vote for the lesser Madam Ning to stay in Tonghua Poetry Association, write down your name. We have fifteen members here today. If more than eight people vote her, then she can stay.”
Of the fifteen people here, more than half of them were by Wen Wan’s side. The results of this vote didn’t even need to be looked at.
Luo Qianqian coldly harrumphed, flung her sleeves, and walked away.
The other people also felt that it was pointless to continue staying here and the crowd dispersed.
Wen Wan’s mood couldn’t be any worse.

Ji Man hummed a little ditty the entire walk to old madame’s place.

Old madame had already heard about her competition with Wen Wan. She happily pulled her over and said, “I’ve been looking forward to seeing you win over that vixen in every aspect. This way, Xuan-er will be able who’s truly the best.”
“Old Madame, you don’t need to worry. Other than not being as delicate as her, Sangyu won’t lose to her in any other area. If she really wants to compete with Sangyu, then Sangyu will outperform her for Old Madame’s amusement.” Her words directly led to old madame laughing.
Old madame’s tapped Nie Sangyu’s nose and said, “You clever little imp. All of the care I’ve shown you in the past several years have been worth it.”
Ji Man chatted with old madame for a while. After eating lunch with her, she headed out to make arrangements with Luoyan Pagoda.
The current Luoyan Pagaoda had become even more luxurious than before. On the fifth floor, there was the second half of “Inviting you to drink wine” had been personally written by the crown prince, as well as the legendary first half of the poem. It had become a must-see tourist attraction. As a result, the shopkeeper had earned quite a bit of money.
Carrying the wooden token that Luoyan Pagoda had originally given her, Ji Man also brought Dengxin along with her. Right after Ji Man got into the sedan chair, she heard a voice shouting from the outside, “Madam Ning.”
Opening the curtain, she saw Luo Qianqian. This young woman wasn’t outstandingly pretty. Although her looks were average, her personality and manners were exceptionally good and people felt comfortable when looking at her.
Ji Man came out of the sedan chair and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luo Qianqian curtsied and said, “Qianqian admires Madam for being so talented in poetry, but that group of people are planning on going to Luoyan Pagoda and spending extravagantly to give Madam a hard time. Qianqian happens to have a friendly relationship with Luoyan Pagoda’s shopkeeper. How about I go there with Madam? This way you’ll be more prepared.”
