"Wow! Mr. Ma is so generous!"
"One hundred taels!" Someone pushed Miss Song and cast an envious look.
Miss Song blushed and wanted to stop her.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he had not stepped in and had no position to care about others. The words that came to his mouth were suppressed again.
"Mr. Ma, you misunderstood!"
At this time, Liu Xiyue spoke.
"The purses Sister Ye brought today are all for everyone, how can we collect everyone's money!
Since Mr. Ma likes this bag so much, and Mr. Ma and Miss Song are in love with each other, how about we, as adults, give this bag to Miss Song? "
"Okay!"
"Wow, wow, I'm so envious!"
"If only someone could give me one!"
The girls let out another sigh of praise.
Just when the scene was peaceful, an inappropriate voice sounded.
"A place of elegance, a hall of elegance, why do you put these filthy things in there to ruin the elegance!"
The person who spoke was the youngest son of the classic historian.
He had just been admitted as a scholar this year, and it was his first time to participate in such a poetry meeting.
"How can Mr. Ning say these are dirty things? These are obviously our women's favorite things!" Liu Xiyue said dissatisfied.
Ning Xiuzhu: "Miss Liu, I didn't say that your wallet is a dirty thing. I just think that what we are talking about in our poetry meeting is poetry and poetry, and the collection of classics and history.
A mouthful of yellow and white stuff ruins our elegance! "
Hearing Mr. Ning say this, everyone shut up, for fear of being classified as indecent.
Literati and poets must stay away from these copper odors in order to show their elegance.
Xu Cai heard this and dropped the teapot hard on the table.
There was a thud.
"A bunch of hypocrites!" he rolled his eyes.
I thought this matter was going to be over, but Liu Xiyue said in the audience: "Master Ning said so, I have something to ask?"
Ning Xiuzhu clasped his fists and said, "Miss Liu, just speak up!"
"Since Mr. Ning looks down on this yellow and white thing so much, I wonder where your usual food and drinks come from?"
"This..." Ning Xiuzhu never expected that Liu Xiyue would ask such a question.
Even Xu Cai's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Xiyue in disbelief.
Is this still the Liu Xiyue I know?
Ning Xiuzhu thought carefully and said, "My mother bought these!"
"good!"
Seeing Ning Xiuzhu evading the question, Liu Xiyue asked again: "They say that everything is inferior, only studying is good. I would like to ask Mr. Ning, what is the purpose of your studying?"
Ning Xiuzhu shook his large sleeves and replied resolutely: "Of course it is for the common people of this world!"
Miss Liu was aggressive, "Since it is for the people of the world, let me ask Mr. Ning, what are the people of the world most concerned about?"
"The world is peaceful and the country is healthy!" Ning Xiuzhu replied without hesitation.
"That's not right!" Ning Xiuzhu was feeling proud when he heard the clear and gentle voice of the Hui Ru man.
"The common people can't care so much. What they care most about is the food in the fields, the rice vats at home, and the future of their descendants."
Liu Xiyue applauded: "Sister Ye is right. If you don't have enough to eat, who will care about the world's affairs?"
"This..." The smile on Mr. Ning's face fleetingly disappeared.
"Even if the people are most concerned about money, what does this have to do with our poetry?
When we participate in poetry gatherings, we are originally here to recite poems and write poems!
What literati pay attention to is having high aspirations and being fresh and refined.
If we cannot avoid being secular in such situations, what is the difference between us and those illiterate people? "
His face turned red and he pointed at Ye Luoxin, who had just snatched him away:
"Just like the Hui Ru man next to Miss Liu, even though she has been rewarded by the emperor, do we have more common topics between Miss Liu and her than when we were together?"
One sentence revealed what Ning Xiuzhu was thinking!
Even though Ye Luoxin was a Huiru native named by the emperor, as a scholar, he still looked down on such a young lady who came from a peasant family.
His words also expressed the feelings of many people present.
Although everyone likes the purses made by Ye Luoxin, they still look down on businessmen like her from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Xiyue is not happy!
She looked down on Ye Luoxin at first.
But after getting along several times, she found that Ye Ruoxin was a very thoughtful woman. Not only did she have ideas, she was also extremely smart!
It’s much more interesting than these aristocratic ladies who only know how to compete all day long!
"Mr. Ning, please be careful what you say!" Liu Xiyue's voice was cold.
"Sister Ye is my best friend!
She could talk to me for three days and three nights about her insights.
You can't compare to these! "
Liu Xiyue's father is the head of a county. Among the noble girls in Qinghe County, her status is very high!
Therefore, what he said was very weighty, and no one dared to refute it easily.
But Ning Xiuzhu seemed to be trying harder today, "If the Huiru people are really as powerful as you said, then I'm just a humble person. How about trying to compete with the Huiru people?"
He wanted to use this method to make Ye Luoxin retreat and regain some face for himself.
Xiao Mu frowned when he heard this.
He stood up and wanted to step forward to stop it.
But I heard Ye Luoxin's voice ringing again: "Okay, what to compare to?"
"Why don't you compose a poem impromptu!"
What Ning Xiuzhu is best at is writing poems.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with proposing this competition.
But Liu Xiyue became angry: "Ning Xiuzhu, you are shameless!
Even if you and Sister Ye compete in throwing pots or guessing lantern riddles, I don't look down on you so much! You are a grown man, and you use your strengths to compare other people's weaknesses.
What's wrong with bullying us women? "
Ning Xiuzhu's face turned red, but he persisted: "If Huiru feels embarrassed, you can withdraw from the competition!"
"No need!" Ye Luoxin said softly, "Although I haven't written it, I occasionally heard my uncle at home read a few songs. I can give it a try."
Liu Xiyue shook her arm and whispered: "Sister, there is no need to be angry with such a fool! We will not compete with him."
"It's okay!" Ye Luoxin said indifferently, "I just don't know what Mr. Ning wants to use as the topic?"
The noble ladies sitting around exchanged glances with each other, their eyes full of sympathy and ridicule for this Hui Ru man.
How dare she compare herself to Mr. Ning in poetry?
Mr. Ning is the most proficient poet in Qinghe County.
It is said that the prefect once read one of his five-character poems and was full of praise on the spot.
Even ladies like them, who have studied with their brothers since they were young, dare not try their best to follow their own example.
Huiru only heard a few poems recited by others and yet he dared to compose poems?
I'm afraid I'm not trying to make people laugh!
