Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 12 Banquet 12 (The Taste of Danger)

In the apricot forest, white gauze tents are used as walls, and screens are used as partitions in the middle. On one side are the sons of different families, and on the other side are the girls from different families. It is full of temptations, and the county prince's mansion is raising the banner. If the news of today's incident is spread, it will only make people talk about it, but it will not criticize it.

Women in the Taiyuan Dynasty married very late, most of them engaged in marriage after Jiji, those who cared about their children would keep their daughters for two years longer, and did not marry until they were seventeen. And the age of marriage, and rarely go out of the boudoir on weekdays, there are not many opportunities to contact outside men.

Naturally, the sons of various families who came to the banquet at the county prince's mansion were not of low birth, and they were all unmarried men, so everyone had their own plans in mind, and wanted to take today's opportunity to learn more about it.

The seductive banquet, because the men and women gathered together for the banquet, there was also an ambiguous atmosphere scattered around.

After the crisis was resolved, Song Nanrong heaved a sigh of relief, with a gentle smile on his face again.

She was sitting at the top seat, and in front of her was a square table of sandalwood. The table was full of snacks, fruits and dried fruits. The fruit alone attracted attention, and the fruit at this time could only be eaten in the south of the Yangtze River. I realized that in Jinling City, it is a precious thing. There is no shortage of rich people in Jinlingcheng, but the seasonal fruits at this time are things that cannot be bought with money. It is enough to see the heritage and honor of the county palace.

Song Shizi's voice came through the screen, "Today's apricot blossom banquet, even if you learn from Jiangnan, you can't do without poetry and painting. Why don't you have a new way of playing today? Our Jinling City is the capital of Taiyuan. It can’t be compared to those talents in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is important to respect etiquette and etiquette, it cannot but accept the new.”

"After talking so much nonsense, Song Huairong, what are you going to say?" Jiang Cai interrupted him.

Arrogantly calling Song Shizi by his first name.

Song Huairong didn't care about the money, and said bluntly, "Taking poems and paintings as the theme, what will happen if the top [-] people form a poem?"

"Men and women form a poetry meeting together?" Someone from the woman's side whispered.

Although she took it back immediately, Xie Yuanniang still recognized Yang Zhaodi's voice.

The voice was full of joy, and there were many rules in front of everyone, and relying on the fact that her sister Yang Yueqing was the best friend of Nanrong County Lord, who else could she have?
Those who came to the banquet at the Prince's Mansion were not noble girls from the capital. When they heard this proposal, they were subconsciously moved, but they couldn't show it on their faces. After all, this proposal was too shocking.

The poetry club composed of gifted men and women in Jinling City, without thinking about it, knows that if they can join, it will naturally make people look up to them, and even improve their own status.

A proposal full of temptations, but no one is willing to lose their worth to be the first to stand up and agree. After all, the first one to stand up will always make people look down on them and feel that they are not self-respecting.

"Brother's proposal is good, but there is something wrong with it. No one knows that the Xie family's twin sisters are in Jinling. If sister Xie doesn't need to make a move, we will all lose. It's not fair to others. Even if everyone doesn't care, sister Xie won't either. Agreed." Song Nanrong pondered, she didn't understand why her elder brother made such a proposal, but she followed the trend, but she didn't want Xie Yuanniang to show off, "I must find a good way."

"What's so difficult about this?" Song Huairong understood his sister's thoughts and took the words, "Since today's game is a new way of playing, it is naturally different from usual games. In the past, I used to compare what I am best at, so today I will avoid what I am good at. No? It’s fair to everyone.”

The two brothers and sisters directly set the rules. As for everyone's thoughts, silence means agreement, and there is no need for anyone to stand up.

Song Huairong smiled jokingly, "Second Miss Xie is usually good at composing poems, but rarely paints, so let's paint today, it's fair to everyone, otherwise, once Miss Xie makes a move, we men will not dare to write poems .”

There was laughter from the man, Song Huairong's words were true, no one knew that Xie Yuanniang's poems surpassed the man's, and if he said it directly, it would not make people feel inferior, but it was honest and caring.

Xie Yuanniang glanced at Song Nanrong who was coming over with a half-smile, and then replied, "Since the son mentioned it, I can't shirk it, so I will make a fool of myself."

Song Nanrong remained calm, but she was happy that her eldest brother still remembered what she said about Xie Yuanniang, so she felt relieved after the competition.

In her previous life, Xie Yuanniang looked up to Song Nanrong. When Song Nanrong was a good friend, she would naturally tell Song Nanrong the secrets in her heart. For example, she was not good at painting, and she did not form a poetry club in her previous life. Now it seems that the Song family brothers and sisters sing, drink and cooperate. Waiting for her.

Song Nanrong saw Xie Yuanniang below lowered her eyes, she thought she was afraid, and felt a little more at ease.

As soon as the proposal came out, everyone present naturally didn't think too much about it. At this time, another servant came up with a pen and ink, and everyone began to think hard. After all, if they can win the jackpot with a work they are not good at today and join the poetry club , the reputation will be loud.

No one wants to miss such an opportunity.

Xie Yuanniang naturally disdains to join any poetry club, but she also doesn't want to make Song Nanrong proud. She only loves Layman Lanjin's paintings. She married into the Gu family in her previous life. Rarely, after she married as a woman, Lay Lan Jin no longer published any works, and no one knew who Lay Lan Jin was, so I could only regret it.

The works Xie Yuanniang copied and created are often mistaken for the works of Lay Lan Jin. Back then, she robbed her sister-in-law's marriage, her natal family gave very little dowry, and it was not easy to ask her mother-in-law for money, so she had to rely on paintings to pretend to be real. After earning money to save private money to manage the servants of the mansion, and gradually gaining a foothold in the mansion, she can live so wantonly without the favor of her husband.

Therefore, Xie Yuanniang was not worried about today's painting, and she knew that the banquet had just begun, Song Nanrong hadn't made a move yet, and the purpose of humiliating Xie's family and being demoted in front of all the ladies and gentlemen today was the goal.

Compared with the quiet contemplation of the women, the men on the other side of the screen were much more lively, mixed with Jiang Cai's disdainful voice of "I don't care about the mess of a county nerd".

The time was limited to one stick of incense, but Xie Yuanniang was not in a hurry, and took a closer look at the rice paper of Liupin Pavilion paved in front of her.
