Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 39 Orders
  Feitian, named Gandharva in Buddhist scriptures, is a beautiful fragrant Bodhisattva who flies in the air, plays wonderful music, and sprinkles beautiful flowers. She is the god of music in the heaven who does not eat fireworks, so she is called "God of Sound".

The flying goddesses have different shapes, some are playing the piano, some are playing drums, some are blowing flutes, and some are scattering flowers. The ceiling is rotating around them and the clouds are drifting, setting off the flying goddesses in the wind.

The statue of the Flying Goddess in the Spring Garden is flying into the sky holding flower buds. She holds the flower buds high in her hands and flies upwards on the colorful clouds.

"What a wonderful work of nature!" Zhao Shuqing sighed as he looked at Chen Xiao. When he saw that he was making a gesture to someone unknown, he was shocked and quickly looked away.

After everyone admired the Flying Goddess, they returned to the Wind Courtyard together. Yes, the girls from the Zhao family were also invited by Yao Shanzhi.

This made Lin Qianyi and Zhu Siyun feel a little unhappy, but they couldn't say it clearly, so they could only glare at Zhao Wangshu angrily.

However, this is not necessarily a happy thing for Zhao Shuqing.

When Yao Zhen was drinking wine with Chen Xiao, he said: "Wan Jun, this meal can be regarded as your farewell banquet."

Zhao Shuqing looked at Chen Xiao in shock, was he leaving the capital?
  Chen Xiao raised his glass and drank the wine, "Thank you for taking care of me these days in Beijing."

"Brothers, what's the point of saying this?" Yao Zhen brought a pot to him and filled it with wine, "I'll give you another toast."

After the five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, Lu Wenqiu proposed with a smile: "Let's play Feihua Ling!"

"Okay." Qin Youzi was the first to agree, even more enthusiastic than Fang Jingshu. She just wrote a poem, and she always wanted to express herself in front of her sweetheart.

"Gardenia is the east, so let's ask Gardenia to write the words." Lu Wenqiu always acted thoughtfully and would not embarrass anyone.

Yao Shanzhi thought for a while and said: "The scenery in March is beautiful in spring, with red willows, green pear blossoms and white flowers. We will use the word "flower" to make the Flying Flower Order."

"How to punish those who can't tell?" Qin Youzi glanced at Fang Jingshu.

"How about the punishment, let the winner decide?" Yao Shanzhi knew that Qin Youzi wanted to win against Fang Jingshu, so she would give her a chance and see if she could seize it.

"Okay, this is a good idea." Qin Youzi clapped her hands and said.

"Let's put them in order first to avoid confusion." Zhu Siyun glanced at Zhao Wangshu, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

A village girl has only read a few days and can remember a few poems. Let her make a big fool of herself today and make her faceless in public in the future.

Yao Shanzhi ordered his maid to make fortunes. Zhao Yuying panicked and said to Zhao Yuxiu: "What should I do? I don't remember any poems with flowers in them."

Zhao Yuxiu pursed her lips, "Me too."

The two of them were young and loved to play. The poems, lyrics, and rhymes they had to memorize were basically rote. They went to the husband's place to pass the test and then forgot about it.

"What should we do?" Zhao Yuying asked with a bitter face.

"If you can't connect, just accept the punishment. What's the big deal?" Zhao Yuxiu said nonchalantly.

"Oh, I will memorize poetry seriously in the future." Zhao Yuying said.

"This time we are able to attend this banquet thanks to Sister Shu. It's not certain whether we will have another chance in the future. If you have the time to memorize any poems, wouldn't it be nice to play more?" Zhao Yuxiu still had a childish temperament.

"That's right." Zhao Yuying was convinced.

While they were talking, the lots were prepared and brought up. The girls took turns to draw lots. Perhaps it was God's will that Qin Youzi got the eleventh lot and Fang Jingshu got the twelfth lot.

Zhu Siyun drew the fourteenth lot, and Zhao Wangshu drew the fifteenth lot.

The one who drew the first lot was Zhao Jiahua, "One ridge is full of peach blossoms and red brocade, and half the stream is green and new." I just read this poem just yesterday.

"Spring is full of peach blossoms, and I don't know where to find the source of immortality." Lu Wenqiu drew the second lot.

Zhao Shuqing chanted nervously: "The peach blossoms follow the flowing water all day long. Where is the hole in the clear stream?" "The water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun's gift to me." Zhao Yuying finally remembered a sentence.

Zhao Yuxiu also thought about it, "The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom."

Several people in succession were reciting poems about peach blossoms. When they arrived at Yaoshan Zhizhi shouted: "I'm reciting poems about flowers, not about peaches. You all have peach blossoms, but I insist on reciting pear blossoms. Suddenly, as if a spring breeze came overnight, thousands of trees were recited." Thousands of pear trees are blooming."

"You can't remember a poem with peach blossoms." Yao Zhen exposed her unceremoniously.

"Brother!" Yao Shanzhi shouted angrily.

Everyone covered their mouths and snickered, Yao Shanzhi said angrily: "I want to change to a big brother, Yue'er, I will change with you."

Zhao Wangshu shook his head, "I won't change."

This answer was unexpected by everyone. After all, Yao Zhen, regardless of his family background, has outstanding looks and talents.

"Brother, you are so useless, you can't even be replaced." Yao Shanzhi said with a look of disgust.

"It's not that Young Master Yao is bad, but my eldest brother just gave me the money he earned from copying books not long ago. If I want to replace him, he will call me a white-eyed wolf." Zhao Wangshu said with a playful smile.

"Looking at Miss Zhao's dress, she seems to have a good family background. Why do you want me to make money by copying books?" Zhu Siyun asked pretending to be puzzled.

"I wonder if you girls have ever heard of the saying that a good memory is worse than a bad writing. If you had, you wouldn't ask this question." Zhao Wangshu secretly laughed at her for her lack of knowledge.

Zhu Siyun's expression froze, and Lu Wenqiu's eyes flickered, "Whose turn is it? Whose turn is it?"

"It's my turn." Liu Shuqing said.

"Then tell me." Lu Wenqiu smiled.

"The peach blossoms warm the eyes and make you drunk, and the spring and sunset bring you together in dreams." Although Liu Shuqing's father did not pay attention to her as the legitimate daughter of his original wife and did not ask his husband to teach her, he did not prohibit her from reading.

The couplet continues, and Zhu Siyun's provoking Zhao Wangshu ends here.

In the first round, everyone recited poems. In the second round, except for Zhao Wangshu, Zhao Jiahua and Zhao Shuqing, no other Zhao girl could think of a poem and had to quit.

By the third round, only the three of them and Liu Shuqing were reciting verses.

Zhu Siyun was a little surprised and looked at Zhao Wangshu frequently. She didn't expect that Zhao Wangshu would remember so many poems, and she almost lost.

"It's going to be difficult for the five of us." Fang Jingshu was about to fight back.

"Okay, come on." Qin Youzi responded without any sign of weakness.

The two of them decided to change the rules without asking the opinions of the other three people. The one-word flying flower order was changed to the two-hand flying flower order. "Gardenia, say two words."

Yao Shanzhi thought for a while, "In spring, besides flowers and grass, there are green willows, so you can use the word willow."

"Okay, you tell me." Qin Youzi pointed at Liu Shuqing and said.

"Since it's the five of us starting over, it's time to draw lots again." Fang Jingshu didn't want to be ranked behind her.

Qin Youci chuckled, "Okay, just do it again."

After drawing lots again, Zhao Wangshu came first, Liu Shuqing came second, Fang Jingshu came third, Qin Youci came fourth, and Zhu Siyun came last, and she frowned.
