"We felt like old friends at first sight? What Mr. Thirteen said made me confused!" Baochai laughed dumbly.
"Why?"
"Could it be that Master Thirteen has forgotten how majestic and majestic you were when you first came to the Xue family in Jinling? You scared everyone in the Xue family!"
Turning around, Baochai said with a smile: "Such an encounter...can't be called feeling like old friends at first sight!"
"It might be more appropriate to say they are enemies!"
Zhu Jinghong was a little embarrassed. After laughing twice, he said: "This... don't mention this matter again. We don't know each other even if we don't fight!"
Baochai said calmly: "The Thirteenth Master said yes, that's it!"
"By the way...what are the rules of Go, and how to play it?" Zhu Jinghong began to change the topic.
"Master Thirteen really wants to learn?"
"Is it possible that there are still fake ones?"
Therefore, Baochai could only explain one by one and answer Zhu Jinghong's "easy" questions.
The two of them talked like this, and the team soon arrived at Xiyuan. After entering the gate, they could see the wide lake.
It was September now, and the weather was already a bit cold. The cold wind blowing from the lake made everyone take the initiative to tighten their clothes.
The eunuch who led the way knew about today's arrangements, so he led everyone to Zhaoming Hall, where they could listen to the play before going on a boat trip.
The Royal Villa is very large, and the scenery along the way is different. The various palaces and gardens are scattered in an orderly manner, and the pavilions and pavilions are dotted among them. It is really dazzling to see.
Zhaoming Hall is on the island in the center of the lake, with a corridor leading to it. Only by walking can you better appreciate its scenery, so Zhu Yunsheng chose to get off the sedan chair.
With the eunuch and maid leading the way, Zhu Jinghong walked among several beauties. Listening to their chattering discussions, he suddenly felt that life was particularly meaningful.
A gentleman like me can't control it, so it's no wonder that Jia Baoyu fell into it... Zhu Jinghong sighed secretly.
"Sheng'er...slow down, be careful of falling!" Zhu Jinghong reminded loudly.
However, at this moment, Baochai, who had always been calm, could not help but wander around, revealing the lively nature of the girl.
In this day and age, women rarely leave home without leaving home, so it is indeed rare to have such a travel experience.
Soon everyone arrived at the Zhaoming Hall. Yu Hai had already led the people to arrange the banquet, and the female musicians from the Jiaoshifang were ready.
"Brother Thirteen, I like them all. You are so attentive!" Zhu Yunsheng took the initiative to sit down at the top.
At this moment, in the main hall, there are two tables set up on the north side, one table on the east side, and two tables on the west side.
After Zhu Jinghong sat down, he said to Baochai and the others: "You three, please don't be restrained and sit down!"
Among the three, Yang Jingting had the highest status, so she sat on the east side, while Baochai and Zhen Qin sat on the west side.
"Third sister, do you want to play?" After saying this, Zhu Jinghong winked at Yu Hai.
Yu Hai held a pamphlet and presented it to Zhu Yunsheng's side with his waist raised. The palace maid took it and handed it to her hand.
Holding the booklet, Zhu Yunsheng clicked on a few that he liked, and then gave the booklet to Zhu Jinghong.
To be honest, Zhu Jinghong was not very interested in listening to the opera, so he directly gave it to Baochai and the other three, asking them to order two operas respectively.
Although Yu Hai was dull but not stupid, he handed the booklet to Baochai first.
Holding the booklet, Baochai clicked on two places at random, and then gave the booklet to Yu Hai.
A few minutes later, the opera began to play, and the atmosphere of the banquet was aroused.
"The autumn scenery of the lake outside is a beautiful sight on a good day. You sisters are highly knowledgeable and must have some good words in your mind. I will only use five words today..."
Zhu Yunsheng's speech was truly royal and brought the banquet to a new level.
"Third sister... you are so good, why are you writing poetry?" Zhu Jinghong looked confused.
"Brother Thirteen, don't worry...we will play by ourselves and won't embarrass you!"
"What do you mean by that? Don't I know how to compose poetry?"
"Do you know how?" Zhu Yunsheng didn't save any face for his brother.
Baochai and others looked at Zhu Jinghong with a bit of suspicion at this moment.
"Brother Thirteen, I won't ask you to compose poetry. As long as you have learned it... and can recite a sentence that suits the occasion, how about you pass the test?"
Zhu Yunsheng's words were not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong said: "Then I will show my shame..."
Hearing this, everyone just thought that he was really thick-skinned and actually agreed like this.
"The scenery of lakes and mountains really reminded me of something..."
Putting on his posture, Zhu Jing** said: "The falling clouds and the solitary swans fly together, the autumn water..."
"Brother Thirteen, this is not a poem..."
"Thirteenth Master, it's morning now, but there's no sunset!"
Two sentences were spoken at the same time, one from Zhu Yunsheng and one from Zhen Qin, causing Zhu Jinghong to choke back the second half of his sentence.
Xue Baochai and Yang Jingting, on the other hand, were already pouting and smiling, relatively speaking, they saved Zhu Jinghong's face.
"Um...this...is pretty much it!"
After Zhu Yunsheng laughed, he said: "It's really difficult for Brother Thirteen. He can think of this sentence in a hurry, so he has passed the test!"
So Zhu Jinghong no longer asked for trouble, and started eating and drinking honestly, while experiencing the knowledge of Baochai and others.
"Sister Ting... you come first!" Zhu Yunsheng personally ordered.
While Yang Jingting was concentrating on thinking, Baochai and Baochai were also changing their thoughts, and the three of them seemed to be competing.
Less than a minute later, Yang Jingting was heard chanting: "White geese are flying over the autumn lake, congratulating each other for returning home..."
Zhu Jinghong was really surprised that a poem was written like this. This is really not good without some level of skill.
I might as well... Zhu Jinghong sighed in his heart.
Baochai, who was opposite Yang Jingting, was also secretly frightened by such a quick wit. Fortunately, she already had a draft.
After tasting Yang Jingting's poem, Zhu Yunsheng looked at Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, it's your turn!"
Baochai caressed Yun's temples, smiled and said: "There are breaking waves in the mirror lake, and light smoke is sweeping through the curtain..."
Seeing her calm and unhurried look, Yang Jingting opposite was also surprised. At the same time, she also felt a bit competitive and planned to surpass her next.
"Sister Qin, it's your turn..."
"ah?"
"Princess, I haven't thought about the last two sentences yet. Can you wait a little longer?"
Zhen Qin's face turned red, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, because it was so embarrassing.
"In that case, let me do it!"
"The wind and bamboo are in chaos, and the smoke in the river is too late. Old friend..."
Zhu Yunsheng opened his mouth and made Zhu Jinghong's eyes widen, but he didn't expect his sister to be so powerful.
What happens next has almost nothing to do with Zhu Jinghong.
A few girls had a great time writing poems. In addition to setting the theme of lakes and mountains, they also used the staged drama as the theme, including five to seven characters.
About half an hour passed before the few of them felt that they had had enough fun, and then settled down to listen to the opera.
"Brother Thirteen, shall we go on a cruise? It's boring to stay in the house for so long!"
Zhu Jinghong was afraid that they would write poems again and make him look like a fool, so he immediately replied: "Third sister...I think so too!"
"The boat has been prepared a long time ago. There is a stove on top. Let's go barbecue!"
"Sounds fun, let's go now!"
However, at this moment, Deng An was seen running over in a hurry and whispering beside Zhu Jinghong.
Zhu Jinghong's face instantly darkened, and he even clenched his fists. His anger was obvious.
"Is this serious?"
Listening to Zhu Jinghong's cold words, "Qin Ye personally found Chengmingyuan and told the slave personally. The slave conveyed everything truthfully and did not dare to deceive the Thirteenth Master!"
"Jia Zhen, you bullied me too much!"
In anger, Zhu Jinghong slammed the table, causing the cups and plates on the table to fly up, bringing the originally joyful atmosphere to freezing point.
