Tibetan beads

Chapter 151
The banquet was almost over. Xu Yin had already eaten enough and put down his chopsticks. Madam Lu suggested with a smile: "There will be wine and food, songs and dances, but there is still something missing. All the ladies are full of poetry and books." , Versatile, how about taking this opportunity to add to the fun?"

Princess Dongjiang smiled and agreed: "Madame Lu is right. Just like Miss Xu San said, although you are all daughters, you can study poetry and practice hard every day, and you are not at all easier than their men. How about today? Just like how they held a poetry meeting, let's have a talent meeting for bosom friends!"

Everyone should be, the noble ladies who had been prepared for a long time were secretly excited.

It is said that the crown prince has already been decided, but until the moment of announcement, there are always variables.

In any case, it is always right to perform well, especially for those young ladies who are not well-known and have no talent, this may be their best chance to form a good marriage.

At this time, a maidservant came in a hurry and said: "Princess Jin'an. The young masters are serving wine orders, and it is impossible to tell the winner. The son specially ordered the servants to come over and ask the princess and all the wives to judge. It's good to call They were convinced."

After saying this, the princess and the other wives all laughed.

After laughing, the princess said: "This is really a coincidence, we also have to compete. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think we should do?"

Mrs. Lu suggested: "Since both sides have to compete, why not judge together."

She pointed to the lake in front of her, and there was a pavilion on the side, facing the male guest across the water.

"If you demonstrate it over there, they can hear it without being too offensive. What does the princess think?"

Princess Dongjiang estimated the distance between the two sides, and laughed: "It's very appropriate, so let's do this!"

The maids went back to report, and soon, they brought several boxes of silk flowers and distributed them to everyone present.

The leader reported: "The prince said that since it is a test together, then the rules of the poetry club should be followed. Three silk flowers per person can be given to those who are destined, and the one who gets the most flowers will win in the end. What does the princess think?"

The concubine nodded and smiled: "Very good, just now we said that we want to learn from them to hold a poetry meeting, isn't this here?"

All the female relatives also laughed, especially those young ladies, their eyes glanced across the lake intentionally or unintentionally, and their hearts were eager to try.

——Whoever gets more flowers today will definitely stand out.It's okay for Miss Xu to become the crown prince, if not, then she will be chosen among them.

Soon, the male guests on the opposite side of the lake started, and a son recited a poem.The servant girl sent the transcribed poems across the lake for everyone to judge.Several ladies and ladies threw their silk flowers into the pot and sent them back to the opposite side.

The young man was very happy, and expressed his gratitude to the salute here. Seeing him stretching his neck, trying to see clearly that it was a gift of flowers, there was a burst of laughter at the table.

Immediately afterwards, a lady from the female guest volunteered to play a tune in the pavilion and harvested a few flowers.

After coming and going, the atmosphere gradually became lively and laughter continued.

On Xu Yin's side, the dishes were all served, and now there were a few plates of dim sum. She ate a few mouthfuls and then put it down resentfully.

Just say that Wangfu's dim sum is too sweet, it's worth eating two bites, but if you eat too much, you'll get tired of it.

Seeing her like this, Miss Cen San on the opposite side couldn't help teasing her again: "Why does Miss Xu San look so depressed? Could it be that she is worried about the competition? You are really worrying too much. You are studying poetry, calligraphy and painting on weekdays." Yes, you can compare us with just a few samples, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Yin glanced over, and replied casually: "Yes, I think it's better than anything else, but I'm worried about you, Miss Cen San, so I can't play a game of backgammon on the spot, right?"

"You..." Third Miss Cen twisted her nose in anger again. She is a mediocre talent, only Shuanglu is praised, but it is not the other party's turn to laugh at her!She had found out clearly that when Xu San was in Nanyuan, he was a cockfighting dude all day long. What about poetry, calligraphy, painting and female celebrities riding and shooting...... She probably knows how to ride and shoot?

"I have other talents of my own, so you don't need to worry about them. Miss Xu San is so confident, I'll just wait and see."

Xu Yin smiled and said, "You are right, I have prepared a talent that will surely shock you into heaven."

ha?Miss Cen San was angry and happy, she was really good at bragging, and if it was about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there were many talented women present.She only knows how to ride and shoot, so is it possible that she wants to perform throwing pots?There are a lot of male customers who are good at it, this is just a joke.

She deliberately said loudly: "Have you heard that? Miss Xu San has prepared an astonishing talent, we have to wait for it to open our eyes."

As soon as these words were said, all the eyes around him were cast.

The princess smiled: "Oh? I wonder what Miss Xu San has prepared?"

Xu Yin made a fool of himself: "Forgive me, Princess, I want to surprise everyone, but I can't say it yet."

Princess Dongjiang chuckled, and said: "Today we gather together happily, the most important thing is to have fun, and there is no need to force others."

These words were to help Xu Yin out of the siege, everyone understood and responded.

Third Miss Cen was so angry that her teeth itch.What a great opportunity to set her up, but the princess even built a ladder for her.As soon as the Xu sisters came, my aunt really favored them.

Seeing it, Fourth Miss Wei frowned.

What an idiot, what can Xu San do to deal with him?She's not here for a blind date, the more you argue with her, the more Miss Xu appears to be gentle.Seeing how she was persuading her younger sister in a low voice, several madams nodded secretly.

However, it's good for her to make such a fuss, if she draws the attention of the Xu sisters, she won't pay attention to other things.

"Who's next?"

Fourth Miss Wei pulled back her thoughts, stood up and said with a smile: "Princess, if you sisters are not in a hurry, my daughter wants to be the first."

Princess Dongjiang was a little surprised: "Miss Wei Si took the initiative today. I said that you are too humble on weekdays and let others take the lead in everything. Today is very good. Your talent has always been top-notch, so let them see what a woman is. Let the eyebrows."

Fourth Miss Wei responded yes, got up and walked into the pavilion.

She is well-known in the Dongjiang River, and as soon as she walked over, people from the other side of the lake cast their eyes on her.

Fourth Miss Wei calmly asked the two maidservants to spread out the rice paper, dipped the pen in the ink, finished writing in one breath, then put the pen down, bowed to the surroundings, and returned to her seat.

When the pen and ink were slightly dry, the maid unfolded it alone, and found that there were only four words written on it: peace is blessing.

The handwriting is naturally very beautiful, and it can be seen that hard work has been done.This level of writing skills, not to mention these noble ladies, is top-notch even if it is placed with male customers.

It's just that, on such a high-profile occasion, where everyone tried their best, she actually only wrote such a copybook, with ordinary content and ordinary form, which was too low-key and showed no talent at all.

Even Princess Dongjiang felt something was wrong and asked, "Miss Wei Si, do you only write this?"

Miss Wei Si got up and said with a smile: "Today's feast, my daughter sees the princess and asks the prince from time to time, and she is very moved, so... Let's just pray for blessings!"

Princess Dongjiang nodded, her eyes softened: "My good boy, it's hard for you."

When the copybook and these words spread to the other side of the lake, some people sighed: "Miss Wei Si is really sincere, and the words are well written."

Someone got close to the Wei family and whispered privately: "You don't want to steal Miss Xu's limelight, right? After all, the prince has already..."

He glanced at it, and everyone understood.

The prince has already taken a fancy to Miss Xu, if someone else steals the limelight, wouldn't it embarrass the prince?This Fourth Miss Wei is too sensible, it is both distressing and admirable.

For a while, silk flowers were thrown into the pot one by one, and soon became a pile.

The maid came to Li Wen with the pot in her hand, thinking it was just a formality as before, but unexpectedly he picked up one and threw it in.

Everyone who saw this scene was taken aback.Huh?The prince gave flowers to Miss Wei Fourth?Is it possible that there are variables in the selection of the crown prince?

　A few days ago, the cat at home was in heat, urinating profusely and I washed four sheets. Today, I sent it to be neutered. It was so angry that it breathed and yelled.
