In order to rectify Xu Zhiyun, Xu Qingrou did not care about her image: "In a while, we two good sisters will have a poetry competition to see whose poetry is more popular with everyone. If I win, please ask my sister to imitate the barking of a puppy in public; If I lose, I will exchange residences with my sister and give her a large sum of money."
Xu Zhiyun's eyes lit up and the corners of his lips raised: "Ahem, cough, cough... Sister, please remember to keep your word, you all have sharp eyes."
"That's natural." Xu Qingrou said confidently, "If anyone reneges on the debt, it's the dog."
"Can."
.
Pens, ink and paper were brought up.
Green water lifts the pen.
What is Xu Zhiyun going to do again? This wording is neat and neat, and clearly has nothing to do with ugliness.
The eldest lady told her to trip up Xu Zhiyun in the poetry party. If she didn't, her head would be used to serve food and drinks. Maybe there is Chang Xiu on the other side of Zhiyun, and the upright envoy will definitely be killed by that Chang Xiu.
Oops, both sides are not easy to deal with.
It seems that this time we can only secretly attack Chen Cang.
While Lu Shui was writing, Xu Qingrou read her own poem, but everyone shook their heads. Some even said bluntly, "She is not worthy of the title of 'the most gentle and talented woman in the capital'", which made Xu Qingrou very angry.
Why were the poems not appreciated this time? The slave who wrote the poem must have tampered with it! He turned around and cut off his fingers.
As for you blind untouchables...let my dad take care of you from now on!
But, no matter how bad my poetry is, it will definitely be better than that sick and useless one.
.
Lv Shui stopped writing and put the pen gently on the table.
"Cough cough cough...sister, can you help me read it? My sister's throat hurts..."
This time the tears fell straight out.
Xu Qingrou readily agreed: "Okay."
"No!" Lv Shui shouted.
"It's only natural for my sister to help my sister who is uncomfortable reciting poems. What does it have to do with you?" Xu Qingrou thought Lv Shui was betraying her, so she frowned and said displeased.
Lv Shui had no choice but to shut up, hoping that the young lady would be happy for herself.
Xu Qingrou picked up the paper and read aloud.
The content is as follows.
My clothes are whiter than snow,
It is a holy thing.
A fool can't tell the difference and still complains about it.
But I have an open mind and smile back.
"What a poem!"
Someone shouted, and everyone applauded.
The applause was warm and lasting.
Chang Xiu, who was leaning against a pillar on the second floor, was slightly surprised. Then he nodded frequently and smiled on his lips: "I didn't expect that she is proficient in poetry! But the sister who looks so arrogant is in trouble."
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"I don't understand either."
The two guards following Chang Xiu looked at each other for a few times, then spoke one after the other.
"Hey, hey, I don't understand this. Have you been kicked in the brain by a donkey?" Chang Xiu's eyes flashed with disgust, and he unfolded the sandalwood fan in his hand, "Is this a hidden poem, Nian Nian?"
"Am I a fool? I am a fool!" one of the guards read out stupidly.
After reading, there seemed to be an expression of embarrassment on his face: "Master, you are bullying me!"
The other guard couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
"Shh!" The well-jointed and slender index finger rested lightly on his lips, "Stop arguing and watch the show."
Hearing this, the two fell silent.
.
Xu Qingrou had never experienced such humiliation before, and her eyes were full of tears: "This poem is not a good poem! It's rubbish!"
"How could such a talented woman say such vulgar words? No wonder who just said she didn't deserve this title!"
"That's right! In my opinion, it's better to give this title to the second lady! Old Xu obviously has such an outstanding daughter as the second lady, but he never gives her a chance to stand out. What a fool!"
"Yes, yes, if it hadn't been for this poetry meeting, you might not have known that the second young lady has such a talent. The two young ladies are like one in the sky and one on the earth."
…
There was endless discussion.
Xu Qingrou clenched her fists, her teeth itching with anger.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I found something wrong with the header of this poem."
has a problem? If there are problems, it means the poem is not good! Then I'll read it out and slap that little bitch Xu Zhiyun in the face!
Xu Qingrou caught the words that someone said and secretly rejoiced.
The voice suddenly rose an octave: "I'm stupid but... I'm a fool?!"
I wish the floor would crack and I could find a way to get in.
The embarrassment cannot be described in words.
"Why is this poem still insulting?"
"Wait a minute, I remember that this poem was written by the second Miss Xu. She asked the eldest lady to read it because she had a discomfort in her voice. So the second miss is a vulgar person? Only a vulgar person can write such a vulgar poem."
"You're right! Unfortunately, I feel that this second young lady is worthy of the title of 'the most gentle and talented woman in the capital'. It turns out that I was mistaken."
"I think it's Miss Xu who deliberately framed her eldest sister! She has such a vicious mind!"
…
The public opinion turned around at this time.
Joy gradually appeared on Xu Qingrou's face.
.
The two guards were about to chat with Chang Xiu on the side, but saw the latter flying up and landing next to Xu Zhiyun.
"Little beauty, what is on the table is the original poem manuscript?" Chang Xiu asked, his eyes bent like crescent moons, waving his fan.
Xu Zhiyun replied: "Yes."
Chang Xiu leaned over to take the paper, and did not forget to lean into Xu Zhiyun's ear: "Little beauty, it seems that I owe you another favor this time."
Xu Zhiyun guessed what Chang Xiu was going to do, and was angry and funny: "Why do you like to meddle so much?"
Chang Xiu said nothing and blinked at Xu Zhiyun.
Then he stood up, his peach-blossom eyes turned slightly, and gradually became colder, Chang Xiu said in a tight voice: "Lv Shui, have you forgotten your promise to me?"
"I haven't forgotten, I beg you, please let me go... Uh-huh!" Lv Shui was so frightened that he peed his pants. Before he could finish begging for mercy, he was speechless, as if his mouth was sealed by something.
Speechlessness!
Xu Zhiyun was shocked.
This is a magic spell from the immortal world. Why can this mortal be able to use it?
Who is Chang Xiu?
He pursed his lips slightly.
But no matter who he is, he has never done anything to hurt her since they first met him. Instead, she still owes Chang Xiu two, no, three favors.
Therefore, Xu Zhiyun chose to believe him and not ask about his identity for the time being.
If you become more familiar with it in the future, it’s not too late to ask again.
.
Chang Xiu turned around and walked up to a high platform. He closed his sandalwood folding fan and faced the outside. He tapped the big bone on the palm of his left hand: "Quiet! I want to play a game of spotting the differences with you. The first one to find them all. Reward a bag of silver."
After that, he took out a heavy bag of silver from his lapel.
Money, who doesn’t love it?
Soon the crowd surrounded Chang Xiu who was standing on the high platform.
Chang Xiu asked: "Can anyone help me pass the poem manuscript that the eldest daughter of the Xu family read?"
As soon as these words came out, a person who acted quickly handed the manuscript to Chang Xiu.
Chang Xiu took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it to the man. The man thanked him repeatedly and kept his eyes on the money bag.
Xu Zhiyun looked envious!
The laughter dripped from the corners of his mouth again unconsciously.
"Little beauty, please pay attention to your appearance. If there is something dirty at the corner of your mouth, please wipe it quickly."
It was Chang Xiu's voice.
Xu Zhiyun tilted his head and looked at each other across the sea of people.
"You want money too?"
Xu Zhiyun nodded wildly.
Lv Shui on the side heard what they were saying, and was speechless. He ate a mouthful of dog food for no reason.
"Then I will prove my innocence and tell the difference between the two poems with my own words. Little beauty, sometimes you can't be too Buddhist, otherwise it will be easy for others to take advantage of you." A gentle look was given to Xu Zhiyun, as cold as an iceberg. His eyes were on Lv Shui.
Lu Shui said four words in his heart——
I want nothing more!
