Now that Liu Xiuyi had made up her mind, no one else could persuade her, so she sent her most capable maid to the front yard without any hesitation. [No pop-up novel website] Ding Mo came to the banquet with his father Ding Wei, and he must be in the front yard at this moment.
Although Mrs. Ding was extremely reluctant, she didn't dare to block it. She could only endure it, and she was so angry that her whole body was about to smoke.
Princess Ning's call to Xu Liuniang just now was completely unnecessary!
The maid came back not long after, and after saluting, she recounted what Ding Mo said, exactly as she had promised.
After hearing these words, Mrs. Ding was so angry that she couldn't breathe for a while, her thin face wrinkled up, and the aunt behind her hurriedly gave her some relief. It took a long time for him to recover, but he was so embarrassed that he excused himself to go to the side room to change clothes.
While Mrs. Ding was angry with Princess Ning, Princess Ning was also angry with Mrs. Ding because she didn't make it clear.
Seeing Mrs. Ding hurriedly avoiding this embarrassing place, Princess Ning felt annoyed and anxious. She was the mistress of Prince Ning's Mansion, so she had to endure it no matter how embarrassing it was.
He coughed and asked: "The Xu family has been a tea merchant for generations, and they are also quite accomplished in tea ceremony. I heard that the wife of the Xu family has to learn some tea since she was a child?" A descendant of a tea merchant was invited to Prince Ning's Mansion to participate. The Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet is really flattering.
Unexpectedly, this descendant of a tea merchant is not only dishonest and frightened, but also behaves calmly and calmly. He even plays the piano to attract attention. This is so arrogant. Don’t you know who he is?
If Princess Ning knew that it was her daughter who asked Xu Nuo to play the piano, she would be so angry that she would be hurt.
"Back to the princess, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family has been going to the teahouse to learn tea ceremony since she was five years old." Xu Nuo felt very happy after seeing the reactions of Mrs. Ding and Princess Ning, and she was even more cheerful when she answered. Of course, her face still had the calm and calm expression before, and she didn't show any joy.
Let you deceive me, let you make me a stumbling block. I make you work hard to find fault with me, but in the end it’s not you who will be angry.
"So, Mrs. Xu Liu, would you like to show off?" Princess Ning raised her lips, but the previous displeasure was no longer visible on her face.
The ladies who came today are very picky. As long as there is a little dissatisfaction, it is enough to show that Xu Yan's tea-ordering skills are average, and it also shows that Lu's teaching is incompetent.
Liu Xiuyi frowned slightly. But he never said anything to stop it.
"Okay." The princess spoke. How can I refuse as a promise, I can only agree.
But since these people asked her to show off things she was good at, she couldn't waste such a great opportunity.
The maid who ordered tea stepped away after hearing this. Xu Nuo sat behind the tea table, elegantly rolled up his sleeves two inches, and quietly washed the tea set.
Ordering tea was the one thing she put the most effort into after time travel, and there was really no reason why she couldn't do it well.
Promise to order tea first. The whole person's temperament became quiet and elegant, seeming to merge with Merlin behind him. People couldn't bear to say anything to ruin this beautiful scene.
She was not focused on anything else when ordering tea, with only the tea powder and tea utensils in her eyes, and she was focused and serious.
It was this look that gave Liu Xiuyi a hint of appreciation in her calm eyes.
Liu Xiuyi and Lu were old acquaintances. She does appreciate Lu's character and talent, but it doesn't mean that she will love Wujiwu and favor Lu's daughter.
The piano that Xu Nuo played before was indeed good, but there were no ladies in the capital who could play at this level. But now. Seeing the way Xu Nuo ordered tea, she really saw Xu Liuniang in her eyes. Really start paying attention to her.
Promise's tea scene this time depicts today's picture of snowy plum blossoms. Although there are only a few strokes, it can still allow people to see the scenery displayed in the tea cup through the milky white tea foam.
When Mrs. Ding came back after changing her clothes, she happened to see everyone praising the promise. If she hadn't been stopped by someone, she would have almost turned around and left.
Of course Princess Ting Neining's expression was not good either. She was waiting for Lu and Xu Nuo to make a fool of themselves, but she gave Xu Nuo a chance to shine and regretted her proposal very much.
When Mrs. Ding entered, the soup flowers in the tea cup had dispersed, and she did not see the tea show. She paused and said in a gentle tone: "Why don't Xu Liuniang take advantage of the fun and make a picture of plum blossoms, so that I can see what it looks like?" How can such a good picture be praised by such picky people?"
She didn't believe it. Two years was enough for Xu Liu Niang to learn chess, calligraphy, painting and tea ceremony?
What she didn't know was that apart from being a female worker, Xu Nuo was pretty good at everything else. After all, Xu Nuo has been practicing hard every day for the past six months, and the level of hard work is no less than that of those sons who are preparing for the imperial examination. In addition, she has a foundation in her previous life, and her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are at least superior among these ladies and ladies.
Xu Nuo didn't want to follow the advice of this person who was always looking for trouble for her, and she didn't want to paint here to be viewed by these ladies who were keen and intrigued, so she declined politely.
Liu Xiuyi wanted to know more about Xu Nuo, and was convinced from her previous pictures of tea scenes that she was good at painting. She really wanted to paint without losing face, so after thinking about it, she also asked Xu Nuo to paint.
The promise had to be made.
Someone had done paintings and poems in the pavilion before, and the pen and ink were all there, so Xu Nuo went directly to draw a plum picture.
It is covered with snow, and between the two hexagonal pavilions are white and red plum trees with strong branches and gorgeous red plums under the snow. The rest is a large blank space, but people can feel the coldness of the heavy snow.
Mrs. Ding was looking at the promise painting from the side. Her heart gradually cooled down after watching the show, and her face couldn't help but tremble. What's going on? If she hadn't seen Xu Liuniang's painting with her own eyes, she might have thought that the author of this painting had been practicing for at least twenty years.
When someone began to praise Xu Nuo's beautiful plum painting, Mrs. Ding put one hand on the desk and held the crumpled handkerchief in the other. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's better to inscribe a poem for such a masterpiece." She typed. I can't believe that a wild child can turn into a well-educated woman in two years!
Speaking of the inscription, the pavilion became even more lively.
But there was a buzzing sound in Xu Nuo's mind, and he felt terrible.
She really couldn't recall even a single sentence of those famous words about plum blossoms today.
If I say no, I don’t know what will happen to these ladies tomorrow.
The sixth wife of the Xu family does not know a single Chinese character and cannot compose a poem. She is indeed a wild child and cannot stand on the stage...
No matter how good her previous performance was, as long as there was a little shortcoming, it was enough.
Xu Nuo has learned etiquette at home for so long, but she didn't hear much of Lu's humble words when she came here today. She already understood that Lu's trip was to bring her out to gain a reputation.
After all, the experience of growing up outside was a stain for the children of officials and nobles, and Lu decided to use this method to help her erase the stain.
Even though she has been away for many years, she still meets the standards of a noble lady. Her knowledge of musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting and etiquette will not be inferior to that of any lady. This is Lu's wish.
If there is no stain and the reputation is better, the marriage options will be wider.
Although Xu Nuo was not in a hurry about marriage, Lu had already started thinking about it in Suzhou, and started planning immediately after entering Beijing.
If the promise is given up halfway, Lu's hard work will be in vain. Xu Nuo has never been able to bear Lu's being hurt or sad. Although Lu is smart enough now and has the ability to protect herself, Xu Nuo still doesn't allow what Lu wants to do to be ruined.
Xu Nuo was a little anxious for a moment, holding the pen and forgetting to put it down.
Mrs. Ding was next to her. She finally felt a little more comfortable when she saw this. Just when she was about to say that if she couldn't do it, don't force it, she saw a bright light flashing in Xu Nuo's eyes.
In the flash of lightning, Xunuo remembered Wang Anshi's poem "There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone. I know there is no snow in the distance, but there is a faint fragrance coming."
Then I thought about it, although Wang Anshi was not born yet, it would only be a few decades before he wrote this poem. Many people present could live to that time. If she inscribed this poem on the painting, it would not be good to have evidence.
After thinking of a poem, several other poems popped into her mind, but they were either poets from the Tang Dynasty or from around this time, so I couldn't name them.
Mrs. Ding's heart was originally in suspense, but when she saw that Xu Nuo continued to remain silent, she felt a little more at ease and said hurriedly: "If you really can't do it, don't force it."
After this sentence, Xu Nuo took up his pen and wrote: "I heard the plum blossoms blooming in the morning breeze, and the snow piles are all over the four mountains. How can I transform into hundreds of billions, and every plum blossom tree blooms."
It's Lu You's plum blossom quatrain.
It will take at least two hundred years for Lu You to write this quatrain, so it doesn't hurt for her to use it now.
Although the people sitting here are all women, there are many talented ones. After seeing it, they were full of admiration. People who were originally prejudiced against Xu Nuo also developed a good impression of her, and even more admired Lu in their hearts.
Mrs. Ding wanted to seal her mouth. Why did she have to speak so quickly? This is wonderful. I just told people not to write, and yet they wrote such a good poem. No, it was Xu Liuniang who did this on purpose. He deliberately waited for her to say something before writing. He actually dared to plot against her?
It's really abominable and disgusting to have such scheming at such a young age.
As expected, no one in the Xu family is good!
Liu Xiuyi's eyes turned around Xu Nuo without leaving any trace, and the admiration in his eyes disappeared deep in his eyes.
It is indeed Lu Qiniang who has taught such an outstanding daughter. It's a pity that Sixth Brother is young, otherwise it would be great to assign Xu Liuniang to him.
If Xu Nuo knew that Liu Xiuyi wanted to allocate her to Zhao Zhen, who was only two years old now, she would laugh so hard that she couldn't stand up, and of course she would break out in a cold sweat.
After the plum blossom appreciation banquet was over, Liu Xiuyi drove back to the palace, only to see the emperor playing with Zhao Zhen in her room.
"Guan family, my concubine is back." Liu Xiuyi bowed and saluted. She had followed the emperor for more than twenty years and had never been perfunctory in etiquette.
The emperor was teaching Zhao Zhen to memorize the "Three Character Classic". In his excitement, he just nodded to Liu Xiuyi and asked her to get up without saying anything else.
The "Three Character Classic" has just begun to take shape, but the emperor found it easy to read, so he taught Zhao Zhen a few sentences.
When Zhao Zhen saw his mother coming, he ran over with small steps, threw himself into Liu Xiuyi's arms, and recited the few sentences he had just learned to her.
