He sat leaning back, his eyebrows were slightly lowered, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the fingers of the hand placed on the table were slightly bent, and he was tapping on the table.
"What's there to see?" He said lazily, "I didn't insist on moving the orchids in my house yesterday, and I didn't see you guys compose a few songs to suit the occasion. My aunt is quite famous in Chang'an, so I thought Let’s see how Yuanjun is doing now after receiving her guidance.”
Wang Yuanjun's face turned red, she raised the fan in her hand to cover half of her face, and said angrily: "There are so many handsome men and sisters in the garden today, what's the point of just looking at me? Of course..."
She turned around, her eyes flickering over the figure in the distance, "Of course it's best if a hundred schools of thought contend."
At this moment, Shen Yinxiao and Yunxian in the distance could not hear the conversation between the man and the woman in the high position at all. They could only see Wei Cheng saying something, and Wang Yuanjun's face turned red with embarrassment, with a shy smile on her pretty face. , looked at him angrily.
Yunxian came over and whispered, "Yinxiao, that lady Wang seems to be looking towards us all the time."
She raised the corners of her mouth and forced it into a smile: "Look what we do?"
"Who knows." Yunxian frowned, "Maybe because you are good-looking, I am jealous that Wei Shaojun said a few more words to you?"
"Yinxiao, I've been in Cuihua Building for all these years, and this kind of look looks good on me." She said decisively, "Miss Wang, I'm jealous of you. This is the way those men look at the girls when their first wives come to Cuihua Building to catch someone raping them. .”
envy?
Shen Yinxiao found it funny. She had nothing to be jealous of Wang Yuanjun. She should be the one who should be jealous.
She was not even qualified to express her jealousy openly.
"Let's go," she said.
"What?" Yunxian thought he heard wrongly.
"You know clearly that the person who invited you has ulterior motives, so why bother yourself and make yourself a joke." She straightened out her wrinkled dress, stood up, straightened her back, and faced Wei Lingling who was sitting at the top. Chenghe and Wang Yuanjun spoke slowly.
"I have something to do at home. It's really inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. I'm sorry."
Yunxian also stood up, followed by Shen Yinxiao.
Seeing Shen Yinxiao turn around and leave, the smile on Wang Yuanjun's face froze.
This was the first time she had met such a... incompetent woman.
But the superior's pride prevented her from saying anything to stop her.
She is just a tofu-selling daughter, why should she keep her again and again?
It is already a gift that she can condescend to allow her to have a place here. This is just the northern land of Youzhou, thousands of miles away from the prosperous capital of Chang'an. It is desolate and remote. She can give these people one more look, which is what they have been dreaming of in their lives. What a blessing!
How dare someone ignore her.
This man also has an unclear relationship with Zhong Yang.
She couldn't even figure out what the relationship between this woman and Zhong Yang was. Zhong Yang was really strict. The young man beside her was no longer the boy who obeyed her a few years ago. His attitude towards her also changed. In the past few years, there have been subtle changes that made her vigilant.
She didn't want to make Zhong Yang unhappy.
While she was hesitating, she suddenly heard another voice.
"Ms. Shen, stay."
Wang Yuanjun's expression suddenly softened. She didn't have to speak in person. She was already in the lead and couldn't wait to stop Shen Yinxiao.
Sure enough, displeasure flashed across Wei Cheng's eyes.
Xu Qiuhe stood up with eyes full of water, "Mrs. Shen is leaving in such a hurry, does she look down on us? She is just writing poems for fun, please appreciate us."
Shen Yinxiao was a little angry.
It was just a poetry meeting, and it wasn't held specifically for her. Why did one or two people want her to stay and compose poetry so much? It couldn't go on without her?
She sighed inwardly.
Li You sat at the table with a confused expression. When he saw Xu Qiuhe deliberately making things difficult, his expression changed and he said, "If you don't want to, why bother to stay?"
Xu Qiuhe didn't listen to his words at all.
Shen Yinxiao laughed angrily, and the thought that he had been thinking about going back was gone. He simply sat back on his seat and said, "Okay, in that case, even if I have urgent matters at home today, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. Let's do it well." Have fun with you all."
Wei Cheng was slightly startled, took a deep look at Shen Yinxiao who was holding back his anger, and suddenly smiled.
This is her original self, showing her teeth and claws, and being rebellious.
He likes this kind of woman.
The two looked at each other, Wei Cheng looked over with a smile, but received a fierce eye roll from Shen Yinxiao.
He turned his head boredly and drank a glass of wine.
The dispute between the two people's eyebrows fell into Wang Yuanjun's eyes, and her smile froze instantly.
The same expression changed, as well as Li You.
He lowered his head and polished his pen.
Xu Qiuhe on the side looked unhappy and said calmly: "It's useless for you to think about this fiancée all the time, but she is flirting with other men in public."
Li You looked indifferent and seemed not to hear.
Xu Qiuhe's face froze with anger, and he turned his eyes in anger.
The servant brought the orchid up and placed it on a lacquered gold shelf. Even the flowerpot was made of jade. It was said that this orchid was worth tens of thousands of gold and was cultivated by merchants from the Western Regions who had gone to great lengths to cultivate it. , after Wei Cheng got it, he hired someone to take care of it. So far, it has not bloomed.
The buds are still in bud, and I think they will bloom soon.
The petals are smaller than those of lotus, but similar in shape. The bottom of the flower is slightly rosy pink. If it is open, it will be more beautiful and unique.
Shen Yinxiao had no special interest in orchids. He only listened to a group of people praising how noble and graceful the orchid was, and how the character of the orchid could be seen from a pot of orchids.
Seeing Wei Cheng looking drowsy while sitting at the table, Shen Yinxiao secretly sneered, Xu Qiuhe said with a smile: "Ms. Shen must be sure of winning, and she will dominate everyone."
Someone sneered at the table, and the meaning of ridicule was self-evident.
Yunxian had long seen that Wang Yuanjun and Xu Qiuhe were targeting her at every turn. She pulled Shen Yinxiao and said, "Yinxiao, let me know when you are writing. We will refer to it together. I just hope that the writing is not too bad." , at least let them not push too hard, these girls from high-ranking families are the most harsh and mean in their words, so don't take it to heart."
"If you purposely want to read my jokes, what's the point of using them as reference?" Shen Yinxiao picked up the pen and started writing on the rice paper without raising his head.
After writing the last word, Shen Yinxiao put down the pen.
"I've finished writing. You can read it if you want. I have other things to do at home, and I don't have as much leisure as everyone here. You can do as you please."
She stood up with a flutter of sleeves, pulled Yun Xian around and left without looking back.
Xu Qiuhe's breath stagnated and he gritted his teeth unconsciously, "There's nothing to be proud of. I'm just a daughter selling tofu, and I can't get on the stage!"
Li You stopped writing and said gently: "It's getting late, and I have to go back. The child at home won't be able to wait for his father, and I'm afraid he will cry again."
Xu Qiuhe's face turned even worse, but he didn't want him to leave immediately. Hearing him talk about his son, he felt very concerned.
"Why are you so anxious? Wouldn't it be better to leave after reading what Mrs. Shen wrote?" Xu Qiuhe said.
What can a woman who shows up for a living write? The invitation just now was just to see her joke. If Li You left, the joke would lose at least half of its meaning.
Li You hesitated for a moment and was about to shake his head when Wei Cheng had already stood up, walked to Shen Yinxiao's desk, and picked up the rice paper with the pen on it.
Wang Yuanjun walked over slowly, and several people on the side also stood up and watched.
Someone read it in a low voice.
"The orchid leaves never tire of growing green."
“It’s half yin and half yang.”
Someone admired in a low voice, and Wang Yuanjun unconsciously put down the round fan that covered her face. She looked at the poem on the rice paper intently with a complicated expression.
Xu Qiuhe frowned and walked closer to take a look. Li You also walked closer and saw the beautiful handwriting on the rice paper at a glance.
"Flowers bloom more outside the breeze." Li You chanted in a low voice.
"The night is quiet and no one is around, and the fragrance smells good." Wei Chenghan said with a smile.
"What a poem." Li You praised softly.
