Chapter 310 Miss Lu Qi
Li Meier was thinking about how to politely refuse, when she heard Zhuang Erya snorted softly, "I've been messing around with that poor poetry club all day long, just to make wedding clothes for her, and I don't see Miss Lu Qi giving you any benefits. .”

Zhuang Sanya's complexion changed when she heard the words, and the smile on her lips became a little stiff. She glanced at Zhuang Erya and sneered, "Second sister is jealous of my relationship with Miss Lu Qi. It's a pity to enter the poetry club, I was rejected several times, and I lost all face."

Zhuang Erya's complexion also turned ugly in an instant. She has a bad temper herself, and she was about to explode if she was ridiculed by her sister like this.

Li Meier was complaining incessantly, but she couldn't let these two people quarrel with her, she immediately changed the subject, and asked, "Second cousin, third cousin, which Miss Lu Qi are you talking about?"

Being interrupted by Li Meier, the two also remembered that they were not at home, but visiting their uncle and aunt's house, so they restrained their temper a little.

Zhuang Sanya coughed slightly, and broke the embarrassment first and replied: "Miss Lu Qi is naturally Miss Qi of the Lu family." Saying this, she remembered something, looked at Li Meier and asked, "Sister, do you know the Lu family's daughter?" Bar?"

Li Mei'er really knew something, but only through the banker's family, she nodded and said: "I know something, the Lu family is a big family in Yin County, and his old lady is a third-rank official secretary in the capital."

Zhuang Sanya saw that Li Meier knew it too, with an expression on her face that you are not too rustic, she continued mysteriously: "This seventh lady of the Lu family is the granddaughter of the old master Lu, the third daughter of the third master of the Lu family."

Li Meier knew that Hu Susu seemed to be an old man from the Lu family who became a concubine, but this was the first time she had heard of the third master Lu.

Zhuang Sanya quickly answered her, "Master Lu San is currently serving as the magistrate in Yangzhou Prefecture. Because Miss Lu Qi's biological mother died young, she grew up beside her grandmother. At the beginning of last year, Mrs. Lu was She was not in good health, so she returned to Yin County from the capital to recuperate, and Miss Lu Qi came back with her."

Well, the daughter of a noble family, her grandfather is a third-rank official, and her father is a fifth-rank magistrate. With this status, in the circle of ladies in Yin County, she must be first-class. For a business family like the Zhuangjia, to befriend such a lady, That's really a high climb, if it weren't for the relationship of Yu Susu, people probably wouldn't even bother to look at these two cousins.But when I think about it, I just treat them as dog legs, after all, they are not serious in-laws.

"You don't know, Miss Lu Qi is not only beautiful, but also a talented woman. I heard that she is also very famous in the capital. If it weren't for the poems I wrote, Miss Qi would not pay attention to me. " Zhuang Sanya said very proudly.

Li Meier didn't know where Zhuang Sanya's inexplicable sense of superiority came from, there were people rushing to flatter others, anyway, she couldn't do it, even if the other party was a princess, she couldn't do it.

"How about it, my sister, if you write a poem, I'll show you if you can join the Haitang Poetry Club." Zhuang Sanya was proud of being a dog's leg, and continued to persuade Li Meier vigorously.

Li Meier smiled dryly, and declined politely: "Third cousin, I'm not very talented, and I'm not very good at writing poetry. I'm afraid of embarrassing you, so I still won't participate."

Zhuang Sanya was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she was still a little bit unwilling and said: "Sister, I'll take a look at your first writing, don't be too modest, in case your writing is good, the threshold for our poetry club is actually not high. "

Erya Zhuang was listening, and couldn't help but sneered again, and said sarcastically, "Third sister, I think you'd better forget about it, my cousin Mei'er has already said that she doesn't want to participate, so don't force her, Don't you just want to get someone to vote for you, but even if you have more votes from Cousin Meier, you still can't win the championship, don't you know how much you own?"

Zhuang Sanya's small face turned dark immediately, she looked at Zhuang Erya and said, "Second Sister, what does this have to do with you, you are not even qualified to join our poetry club, so don't worry about what you have and what you don't have!"

Seeing the two sisters pinching like red-eyed black-eyed chickens again, Li Meier felt tired all of a sudden, but she still tried to mediate with a smile on her face: "What do you mean by the flower lot that the second cousin just said? Third cousin, can you tell me?" Shall I say no?"

Only then did Zhuang Sanya's attention shift away from Zhuang Erya, and her tone softened a little: "Our poetry club will hold a poetry meeting this month, and the host will come up with a theme at the poetry meeting, and the members will compose poems impromptu. After the poems are finished, the members of the society will vote for the three best poems, and those three poems will be given to the students of Qingfeng Academy for evaluation."

When Zhuang Sanya said the last sentence, her cheeks were still slightly flushed, she looked like a shy girl in Huaichun.

Li Meier said "hehe" twice, thinking that you city people are really good at playing, and you can come up with so many tricks when you write a poem. It feels like you are not writing a poem, but a blind date.

Li Meier was not at all interested in the arty poems of these wealthy ladies, so she immediately brought the topic to Qingfeng Academy.

"I know this academy. My aunt's little uncle used to study in Qingfeng Academy."

Zhuang Sanya's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she said: "Then he is very powerful. Qingfeng Academy is very difficult to pass the exam, and only talented people can get in."

Li Mei'er just smiled and said nothing, thinking that it's not that difficult, she can get in by relying on her "money ability".Brother Shanqing told her this word, it is really vivid.

When it came to Qingfeng Academy, both Zhuang Erya and Zhuang Sanya seemed to open up their chatterboxes, and you talked to Li Meier about the situation of Qingfeng Academy.

"Sister Mei'er, isn't it just a few days ago that this year's scholar exam was held? The sisters in our poetry club are still betting that which student in the Du Academy will be the top case this year." Zhuang Sanya suddenly said with a smile this sentence.

"I heard that you remanded Wang Tingze's ten taels of silver?" Zhuang Erya obviously knew about it, and asked with a smile on her face.

"Prince Wang is so talented, even Miss Seven thinks highly of him." Zhuang Sanya heard the disdain in Zhuang Erya's words, and said dissatisfied.

"No matter how tall he is, he is still a poor boy. If he can't win the case this time, without the 100 taels of silver rewarded by the academy, I'm afraid he won't even have the travel expenses to go to the capital in three years." Zhuang Erya looked at Zhuang. Sanya sneered again.

"Young Master Wang will definitely win the case." Zhuang Sanya said with confidence, her face flushed slightly.

Li Mei'er didn't speak this time, but she just thought that the Wang Tingze in the mouth of the two of them sounded so familiar?
