Rebirth of the Poor Girl

Chapter 243 Shooting yourself in the foot

Playing drums and passing flowers is a very common small game in boudoirs since ancient times. The rules of the game are that a dozen or dozens of people sit in a circle, one of them holds flowers, and the other carries everyone behind his back or plays the drum blindfolded. The drum rings and passes the flowers, and the drum stops. Flowers stop.Whoever holds the flower will win the lottery. If the bouquet happens to be in the hands of two people, the two can decide the loser through guessing or other methods, and the winner will have to perform a show.

Tian Minyan has never played such a game, but once the rules of the game are explained, she understands it. She even believes that if someone wants her to draw the lottery, it will be very easy.

After discussing the rules of the game, more than a dozen boudoir ladies sat in a circle in the pavilion. The one who played the drum was Zhang Xiuer, the second room lady of the Zhang family. A small flower drum, the flower ball is a hydrangea, round and round, sitting at the head of the circle is Zhang Caier, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhang's wife.

"Are you really successful?" Rourou sat on Tian Minyan's left, with a worried look on her face.

Tian Minyan didn't face the enemy like her, but looked very lazy, and said lazily: "There is nothing left and right, just play around, anyway, I have already said the ugly words first."

"But..."

"Sister Wen, what are you afraid of? Sister Tian sits between us and passes it to our third hand. If you want to fall in the middle, you and I will grab it, or it will be fine." Liang Yin said with a sly face.

Wen Rou was taken aback for a moment, obviously didn't expect to be able to do this again, so she hummed with a smile.

Tian Minyan glanced at the two guardians on the left and right, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, thinking that this is a friend.

"It's about to start." Zhang Xiu'er beat the drum and said behind everyone's back, and the pavilion fell silent.

Dong dong dong, the drum beat, and Zhang Caier, who was seated at the top, quickly passed the hydrangea in her hand to the person on her right, and slipped down clockwise.

She slipped around safe and sound, and the second round started again. Sitting on Wenrou's seat was Huang Wenru. She caught the ball but didn't pass it for a long time. Wenrou gradually became a little anxious, and stretched out her hand and said, "You pass it."

According to the rules of the game, those who get the flowers can delay passing them on, so Huang Wenru didn't talk about her when she did this, and those who gossip about some good things are still full of excitement.

Tian Minyan snorted and looked at it with great interest, but she wasn't nervous at all.

Huang Wenru coughed, and passed the bouquet to Wenrou slowly and methodically. At this time, the drum beat stopped suddenly, and Zhang Xiuer shouted excitedly: "Let me see who is the first to win the lottery..." When she saw that it was Wenrou , couldn't help but pouted embarrassingly, and gave Huang Wenru a hard look.

Huang Wenru didn't expect it to be so fast, she intended to cough, and according to the speed, it stopped in Tian Minyan's hand, who knew it was so out of sync.

"Fortunately, it's me." Ruan Rou touched the hydrangea in her hand, and showed a happy smile to Tian Minyan.

Tian Minyan was a little moved when she saw this, this is someone who sincerely wants to protect her, just to prevent herself from making a fool of herself.

"Let me see what the lottery is. Well, write a poem with the theme of chrysanthemum." Chen Jiaqian took out a piece of paper from the box and opened it.

Rou Rou pursed her lips into a smile, and said softly: "If I don't do well, sisters and sisters, don't laugh."

"Miss Wen is too modest."

Looking tenderly at the pots of chrysanthemums placed in the pavilion, she pondered for a while, and then chanted: "The chrysanthemums are planted on the cliffs, and the Linglings are cold, the spring dew does not stain, and the autumn frost does not change the strips."

As soon as the voice fell, the entire pavilion was silent, and after a while, some young lady called out, and everyone else followed suit.

Tian Minyan looked over and saw that it was funny, in fact, these ladies don't like to mess with poetry, but they just know a few sentences, so they are not illiterate. If you want to talk about jewelry and clothes, they can't stop talking.

This is the difference between official ladies and merchant ladies. Although merchant ladies also ask female gentlemen to teach them, they are rarely talented.I believe that from now on, these ladies will have to fiddle with those poems all day long.

Tian Minyan smiled and said to Wen Rou who sat down: "Sister Wen, you did a great job."

Wen Rou blushed slightly, spat at her, and said angrily: "Even you laugh at me, see if I don't tear your mouth."

"I'm telling the truth." Tian Minyan hurriedly begged for mercy sincerely: "No one here can compare to you."

The second round of drumming started quickly. This time, Zhang Xiuer did not knock for too long, and stopped after only a few beats. The hydrangea fell into the hands of a Wang Qianjin. The prize drawn was singing, and Wang Qianjin sang a paragraph The song made everyone present frown.

In the third round, Liang Yinyin won the lottery. She performed a sword dance with a heroic posture and won applause.

Zhang Xiu'er always saw Tian Minyan dodging, she couldn't help being annoyed, she winked at a servant girl, the latter hurriedly stood in front of her, and started to beat the drums, the girl stared at the flower ball passing without blinking, until the girl handed it over gently Quickly coughing lightly, Zhang Xiu'er hurriedly stopped drumming and turned around to have a look.

"Oh, Miss Tian, ​​you've won the lottery this time. Let's take a look at the lottery head." Zhang Xiu'er looked excited, wishing she could snatch the box containing the lottery head and spread it all out for Tian Minyan to perform.

Chen Qianjin took out a piece of paper, spread it out for a look, raised her eyebrows and said, "The winner plays the piano and sings a song. Come quickly, and fetch the piano."

"Miss Tian, ​​this is very simple, you should know it." Zhang Xiu'er smiled maliciously.

Rou Rou and Liang Yin frowned, they both looked at Tian Minyan and said, "Let me replace you."

Tian Minyan patted their hands respectively, signaling them to calm down.

Qin was quickly brought and placed on the table, Chen Qianjin smiled and said: "Miss Tian, ​​please."

Everyone in the pavilion looked at Tian Minyan, some were gloating, some were harboring malicious intentions, some were watching the fun, and only the gentle and Liang Yin beside her were truly worried about her.

Liang Yinyin has a straightforward personality. Seeing Tian Minyan not moving, he immediately wanted to stand up, but Tian Minyan stood up first and pressed her on the shoulder, and said innocently to everyone: "Everyone knows, I am from the countryside. Did you grow up here?"

As soon as she said this, some people started to giggle and sneer, Huang Wenru's eyes were even more venomous and gloating.

"The children of our peasant family either work in the fields or go up to the mountains to collect firewood. How can we have so much time to learn to play the piano? In the spare time, we can all think about how to earn money. It's not like Miss Chen. Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhang, and cousins ​​like you, just stretch out your hand and you will get money, just open your mouth and you will have food, alas..."

Tian Minyan didn't wait for the crowd to finish laughing, and sighed so tightly that the smiles on Ms. Chen's and the others' faces froze.

What does this mean?Does it mean that they can't do anything to ridicule them?Or laugh at them stretching out their clothes and opening their mouths, like a waste?

"This person, there are three or five grades. Those who are lucky will be ordered to order the girl's life. This is bad, haha..." Chen Qianjin immediately gave a scornful sneer, and pointed back.

Tian Minyan sneered in her heart, she didn't know what class you belonged to, so she pretended to agree with her face and asked: "My sister is very right, there are rankings of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce in this world, I forgot. Ah, so, We peasants can also rank second."

The merchants are at the bottom, the Chen family is a merchant, and she, Chen Meilan, is just a merchant's daughter, not as good as Tian Minyan, a farm girl!

Knowing this, Chen Qianjin stood up abruptly, pointing at Tian Minyan angrily: "You..."

"Oh, what's the matter? Didn't you say playing the piano and singing? Why are Sister Chen and Sister Yan singing a big show?" Huang Wenyuan saw that something was wrong, she quickly stood up to make peace, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan can't It doesn't matter, isn't this a rule? People who can't make a lot of money have a glass of fruit wine."

As she spoke, she took a small glass of fruit wine she had prepared and said, "Sister, how about having a glass with you?"

She wanted to be a sweetheart, but Tian Minyan refused. She pushed away the wine in Huang Wenyuan's hand, blinked and said, "Sister, what did you say? Fruit wine is also wine. I'm only 11 years old. My mother doesn't allow me to eat wine. I play the piano." I don't know how to sing, but didn't I say when I was playing this game, if I couldn't, would my cousin help me?"

"So, big cousin, please." Tian Minyan smiled and looked at Huang Wenru, who was watching the excitement, and made a gesture of invitation.

"What? Me?" Huang Wenru stood up with a look of surprise, noticing that everyone was looking at her strangely, and blushed.

Huang Wenyuan first expressed her displeasure at Tian Min Yanfu's kindness, but now she heard that her sister was asked to come forward to replace her, she was startled.

Others don't know, but the two sisters do. They learn the poems, songs, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they read and play with Ms. He. They barely compose a few poems, do they play the piano?She herself can barely play a piece of music, but Huang Wenru is tone-deficient and can't play half of a piece of music.

Playing this game is just to see Tian Minyan make a fool of himself, so when others mention it, they try their best to encourage her, but now, Tian Minyan openly admits that she doesn't know anything, but she seems sincere and open, what about them?

Huang Wenyuan suddenly felt a little bit hard to get off, and glared at her sister, blaming her, what could she do in the first place?Always have to clean up the mess for her.He said: "There is no other reason for this, a small glass of fruit wine is nothing, I will explain it to you later on for my little aunt."

Tian Minyan glanced at Huang Wenru's panic-stricken eyes, then at Huang Wenyuan's anxious expression, and suddenly understood, could it be that he overestimated them, and actually didn't understand the romance, right?

Hehe, at the beginning, they encouraged themselves to play this game, wanting to see themselves make a fool of themselves, but now, let them have a taste of what it means to lift a rock to shoot themselves in the foot.

Thinking about it this way, Tian Minyan was very innocent, and said: "But the eldest cousin promised to help me from the beginning, cousin Wenru, you can't do it, can you?"

As soon as Huang Wenyuan heard that she was about to suffer, she resorted to aggressive methods. Before she could react, Huang Wenru was immediately set on fire, and said loudly: "Who said I can't, I'm not a wild girl like you."

This idiot!

Huang Wenyuan and Tian Minyan scolded at the same time in their hearts, but the former was angry, while the latter was mocking!

Huang Wenru was so provoked by Tian Minyan that she sat in front of the piano case, looked at the piano, her scalp went numb, and she calmed down.

It's been a trick!

She raised her head to look at Tian Minyan, only to see her smiling brightly, but that look clearly said that she wants to make me look ugly?You are still missing a little bit!

"What's the matter? Miss Huang, after that, you don't really speak like Miss Tian, ​​you know nothing?" Seeing Huang Wenru not moving for a long time, Chen Qianjin vented the anger she received from Tian Minyan. On her body, she sneered and said: "If this is the case, then you are really inferior to your cousin, who knows how to farm and open a shop?"

Huang Wenru turned pale when she heard this, bit her pink lips tightly, put her trembling hands on the strings, and made a piercing sound of sawing, which made half of her face go numb.

"My God, is this also playing the piano? This is the magic sound."

"Stop, stop quickly."

"My ears hurt like hell, come down quickly."

The daughters in the pavilion were busy covering their ears, and yelled at Huang Wenru with contempt on their faces. Although Huang Wenru was thick-skinned, she couldn't stand such a look, so she burst into tears and rushed out of the pavilion.

"Sister." Huang Wenyuan saw her and hurriedly chased after her.

Tian Minyan sat on the seat with a face of nothing to do with himself, slowly picked up a cup of tea to eat, and smiled and said to Wen Rou and the others: "This tea is really good, sisters should also try it."

When Zhang Xiuer, Chen Meilan and the others saw each other, the corners of their mouths twitched, thinking, this is not easy to provoke, at the moment, they were all a little awkward, and stopped talking about the continuation of the game.

"Oh, look at me, are you still playing this game?" Tian Minyan seemed to have just noticed that the atmosphere in the pavilion was different, and hurriedly put down her teacup and said, "Come on, this game is quite fun, let's continue."

"Yeah, but well, don't let someone be clever and be mistaken by cleverness, and mistake Qingqing instead. This face is all for yourself." Liang Yin said contemptuously.

Zhang Xiu'er coughed and said, "I'm going back to change clothes, you guys play first." She helped the girl and left.

"I've had too much tea, I'm going to the latrine." Chen Qianjin also stood up.

"I'll go with you."

"It's not fun, I'll go to the theater."

"..."

This time, all the daughters in the pavilion left, only Zhang Caier and Tian Minyan, who were the proprietors, were left with the same Liang voice.

"This... this..." Zhang Cai'er looked at Tian Minyan and the others at a loss.

Tian Minyan and Ruan Rou looked at each other, and then they both giggled.

Behind a rockery not far from the pavilion, several people crowded together, and they all saw the scene in the pavilion.

"This is your sister? Tall, really tall." Fang Yu said to Tian Minrui beside him, "I understand this time why you listen to your sister in everything."

"I also just realized what the master said, that only women and villains are difficult to raise." A young man about sixteen or seventeen years old said, shaking a folding fan.

"Brother Fang Xian, Yan'er is extremely intelligent." Liu Ruyu looked at the man with bright eyes and said, "She is very good."

"Yes." Tian Minrui said with a smile, "Our daughter is an excellent girl."

Fang Xian looked at the two of them, laughed haha, then looked at the lazy little girl in the pavilion, and said, "What a girl with a beautiful heart!"

Yan thank you xiituzi for the red envelope, okay~ Another Yan can't compose poetry, so I can only steal it, cough
