Chapter 84 No One Can Surpass
Jing Muling was secretly worried, and Zhengqing and Zhengyang who were following him were also surprised.
They were ordered to investigate in advance and found that the process for the prince's mid-year banquet was similar to previous years. The only difference was the addition of women on horseback and archery.
The rules of beating drums and passing hairpins must have been temporarily changed, or someone deliberately concealed it.
Zhengyang hesitated and asked Jing Muling in a low voice: "Master, do you want to help the second lady?"
Jing Muling looked at Shen Zhuoxi without any trace.
The smog-colored clothes contrasted with her crystal-white skin, adding an unearthly aura. She was particularly conspicuous when sitting among a crowd of orioles. Her whole body had an indifferent temperament, and she was not affected by the little eunuch's words.
She should be prepared.
Jing Muling looked away and made two preparations: "No need for now, wait until absolutely necessary."
He also wanted to see if Shen Zhuoxi had any other abilities.
Jing Muling was looking at Shen Zhuoxi, and Shen Xinyu and Shen Jingya were also looking at Shen Zhuoxi.
Different from Jing Muling's worries, the latter looked like he was watching a good show.
They all knew that Shen Zhuoxi had been locked up in the dilapidated Xiaoxiang Tower for more than ten years. Even if he could read, he could not read poetry books well, let alone compose his own poems.
This rule change was Shen Xinyu's idea for the prince. It was obviously very interesting, but in fact it was aimed at Shen Zhuoxi!
After the official start, pink hostas were rotated in the hands of several princesses and princesses. Starting from them, they all composed their own poems. There was no big surprise, but it was nothing wrong.
The pink jade hairpin fell into the hands of Shen Xinyu, who was sitting at the same table with the princesses, in a few moments. She smiled confidently, stood up slowly, and said, "My little girl is not talented, so I will make a fool of myself for you all."
The matter between her and the prince is not a secret. Today, she is dressed in such a high-profile manner. As soon as she finished speaking, someone complimented: "Miss Shen has won the first place in the Mid-year banquet for several years in a row, and this year will definitely be the same."
"That's right, Miss Shen is famous for her talents. Reciting poems is a piece of cake, and she can even compose articles on the spot."
"The eldest lady is not only talented, but also humble and polite. In this way, she is really a model for all the rich ladies in Shengdu!"
"There are very few people in history who can win the Mid-Year Banquet crown several times in a row. It is still among those people this year. The crown must still belong to Miss Shen."
After some compliments, Shen Xinyu blushed slightly and said, "Everyone is so complimentary, but Xinyu doesn't dare to be proud."
After saying that, he walked over to the orchids and took a look at them one by one, and said: "The leaves are green and the stamens are fragrant. Even if the autumn wind comes, I will look proudly at the flowers."
"What a poem!" someone exclaimed: "It not only sings about the graceful posture of the orchid, but also expresses the character and character. It's amazing!"
"The poems written by the eldest lady herself will definitely come out on top again."
"It's true that the eldest lady can write such profound poems at her age. She is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Taishi Mansion!"
Shen Xinyu smiled sweetly: "Everyone has given me too much praise, but Xinyu doesn't deserve it. There are so many people who haven't shown it yet. If I don't get it right, there will be someone better than me."
"Miss Shen's talent is obvious to all, and she will definitely win the championship as before." Jingye took the words and said: "The time for a stick of incense has only passed half, and we must give others a chance to continue."
The hairpin continued to be passed around the table in a circle.
Everyone responded either with poems written by the ancients or with their own creations. Shen Xinyu's poems preceded them, but there were no others who could surpass them.
When the pink hosta passed by Shen Xinyu, the little eunuch beside Jingye suddenly coughed twice, and the blindfolded eunuch immediately shouted: "Stop."
"Ah, it's in the hands of Miss Shen Er. Miss Shen Er has never read a book."
"I read a little before I got sick, but that was more than ten years ago. I've been stupid for so many years and I'm afraid I've forgotten it, let alone the poems."
"Ouch, that's going to make a fool of yourself."
"Anyone who is a daughter of a wealthy family in Shengdu is well-read in poetry and books. I'm afraid the second lady will make an exception."
"This exception is not good. Who would be proud to not know poetry and calligraphy? Grand Master Shen was the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince. Princess Xiaoqing was also very talented in literature during her lifetime. My daughter can't do anything. How generous she is."
"Don't speak too soon. Forgot about the dispute between the second lady and the third lady just now. You have done all the bad things. In the end, it turned out to be the third lady's fault."
"Oh, things can be faked, and the book can be put into her stomach overnight?"
"Miss Shen Er has only recovered for about ten days. Even if she studies hard every day, she still can't compose poetry."
Those people started talking about it again, as if they couldn't do anything without saying a few words!
Who are she looking down on? Shen Zhuoxi rolled her eyes in her heart. When she read the Four Books, these people were still in her mother's womb!
"I don't read enough poems and I don't write well, so don't laugh." Shen Zhuoxi stood up, looked around with neither humility nor arrogance, and said.
Her words caused others to whisper: "No way, the second lady wants to do it by herself?"
"You are so courageous. We are both the daughters of the Taishi Mansion, and the eldest lady Zhuyu is in front. How dare she do that?"
"I guess I just want to compare, and I'm a little overestimating my abilities."
Shen Zhuoxi had no expression, and spoke in a clear voice, casually saying: "The fragrance of golden osmanthus is known for ten miles, the cymbidium is hidden half a step away, not competing with the spring flowers for its splendor, and the autumn falls silently add to the fragrance."
No one spoke for a long time after the words fell. Everyone looked at each other with surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.
In front of everyone, no one around Shen Zhuoxi gave her an idea, so she must have written the poem by herself.
A dozen pots of orchids have been brought to the table and it hasn't even taken half a minute to burn the incense. The poems she wrote are neat and symmetrical. They also have a noble character about orchids, but they are obviously better than Shen Xinyu.
More importantly, after the previous poem written by Shen Xinyu, her poem has some metaphors in it.
Shen Xinyu's "Orchid" clearly tells everyone how noble orchids are, but Shen Zhuoxi's work is much more low-key, pointing out that orchids no longer compete with other flowers in spring, but bloom silently in autumn when the flowers and leaves fall.
It's like they are each other, one is dressed gorgeously like a peacock with its tail open, speaking modestly but showing off, and the other is dressed inconspicuously, and even if he has strength, he only chuckles.
High and low appear immediately.
Everyone smiled and said nothing, looking at Shen Xinyu in unison, curious, ridiculed, watching the show...
She is a talented woman who is well-known in the city, but today she is actually outclassed by her younger sister. Besides, this younger sister has not read much. She is afraid that she will become the biggest joke at the mid-year banquet.
Shen Xinyu's heart went up and down, and because everyone was watching the attack, she held the silk handkerchief tightly and rubbed it under the table. In her heart, Shen Zhuoxi had already met the end of the silk handkerchief.
"Okay." Jing Muling clapped her hands to break the silence: "Good poem. If nothing else happens, Miss Shen Er wants to be the leader of Yonglan. This pink jade hairpin is a bit low in weight. I will add a set of topaz hairpins!"
Pink jade is rare, and topaz is even rarer. A complete set is priceless!
"Your Majesty, uncle." Jingye took a deep look at Jing Muling and said, "However, the competition is only halfway through and everything is unknown. Aren't you afraid that someone will surpass the second lady?"
Jing Muling's expression remained unchanged and she said, "Jia, I believe in the second lady."
"Okay!" Jingye glanced at Shen Xinyu again and said with hints in his words: "There are still many flowers and plants after Yonglan. Let's work hard and let His Highness King Yu add some more treasures."
It’s really no surprise.
No one can surpass Shen Zhuoxi after that. She won the first prize at the mid-year banquet and pocketed the pink jade hairpin and the set of topaz noodles.
With Jing Muling adding more money, everyone was very excited about the chrysanthemums, bamboos, peonies, etc., and all they had to do was use their lifelong skills.
However, like Yong Lan, no one can win over Shen Zhuoxi.
In the middle of the morning, Shen Zhuoxi gained a lot.
