Chapter 60: A Contest of Skills

【1】

Steven's eldest sister said: "My mommy said that she misses her motherland very much, and she always likes to say, "I don't know when it is the return date?" The third sister squeezed her eyes at the two younger sisters, and her tone was quite provocative, and said, "I heard that Miss Hong is very fond of poetry? Steven said that you have a deep knowledge of poetry culture." He also said that you have published a few books of poetry, and why don't we improvise a poem on this topic?"

Hong Caili smiled and said modestly: "Where, I just know a little bit about it." ”

Steven's eldest sister glanced at the two younger sisters, and could see that she wanted to take the test for Hong Caili.

So she smiled and said, "Ms. Hong, I heard that you love to improvise poetry, so why don't we have a few songs?"

Steven immediately said anxiously: "Third sister, you ......"

Hong Caili smiled and said with a little confidence: "Okay! ”

The second sister and the eldest sister looked at Hong Caili face to face, with contempt in their eyes, while the old Stevens looked at their upcoming daughter-in-law with such expectant expressions. Old Steven's eyes showed a tentative look.

Steven's third sister looked out the window at the yellow leaves falling from the trees, and then looked at her mother and said in a slow voice, "Where are the fallen leaves going?"

Hong Caili said casually: "The yellow leaves are back to the roots." ”

The third sister's tone was even slower, and she said with a little sadness: "What can I rely on in the twilight Sangyu." ”

Hong Caili immediately said: "Welcome to the hometown period. Steven immediately applauded and nodded his head in approval. He was even more happy to see Daddy, and saw Mommy's face smile like a flower.

The third sister said again, let's change the topic and look at the world: "Which country is Chang in the world?"

Hong Caili suddenly felt that her words were a little heavy, and she felt like she was walking on thin ice. She saw Steven's third sister looking proud, and she was even more domineering. At this time, Hong Caili thought to herself: How can the national character be ruined! I must not make a mistake in answering, this is not only a question of my appearance in front of them, but more importantly, a big issue related to the dignity of the country! It didn't matter if she hesitated a little, but she made Steven nervous to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, lest his fiancée make a fool of herself in front of everyone when she met her family for the first time. Then how embarrassing should she be? How faceless? I saw Hong Caili's beautiful eyes blinking, slightly tilting her face, straightening her waist, and she was proud of being Chinese. She looked at Steven's third sister with a look of arrogance, and she squinted at herself with a contemptuous gaze and waited for an answer.

Hong Caili smiled at that face, and responded without humility or arrogance: "If you talk about prosperity and decline, you can see it for a long time. ”

The third sister thought to herself, this girl was quite clever and handled it quite cleverly, which surprised her.

She looked at her brother's girlfriend and continued to ask, "Who is the best in talking about leftism?"

Hong Caili calmly replied: "Try to see the glory of the Ming Dynasty!"

This made Hong Caili suddenly think of Cao Cao's intention of cooking wine and talking about heroes in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Steven's mother said, "Yes, yes, what a wonderful answer? I like it, hehe!" She sneered and glanced at this beautiful Chinese girl with disdain, and she wanted to explore her view of love again.

She said quickly: "Why don't you come up with another poem while our poetry is in full swing?"

Hong Caili smiled and nodded generously in agreement.

The third sister was secretly happy in her heart, and she said very quickly:

"How can a hundred flowers compete for charm?"

"Dedication to humanity. Hong Caili replied with a steel knife.

Steven looked at the third sister, she was in good spirits and full of energy. Look at Hong Caili again, bright and high-spirited. The third sister's tone was faster:

"Qunfang spits out the beauty and competes for luxury?"

"Ju Mei is full of cold and refuses to sell stamen. Hong Caili looked at Steven and groaned without hesitation.

Their family at this time was so wary and extra cautious this time, probably afraid that Steven would find a girl who was greedy for vanity. As soon as Steven breathed a sigh of relief, another round of the contest began.

At this time, Steven's family also deeply felt this famous doctor from China, she not only has bright eyes and bright teeth, she is as beautiful as a fairy, but also ice and snow smart, calm and calm, she can be alert and clever to defeat the other party quietly. The three sisters looked at the smart and beautiful Chinese girl in front of them with a little satisfaction. The old Stevens were happy in their hearts, and they smiled with satisfaction. Steven was even more excited to stand up and applaud. Hong Caili not only saved face for herself, but also safeguarded the dignity of the great motherland. It shows her incomparable love for the motherland.

Steven's eldest sister looked high, she looked at Hong Caili with a disdainful tone and slightly contemptuous eyes and said: "I heard that Miss Hong is also very good at painting?

She looked at the eldest sister and nodded solemnly, "Well, it's okay!"

The second sister said excitedly: "Mom and Dad, let's go outside to see Ms. Hong draw!" The servants hurriedly took rags and wiped the seats of the pavilion clean.

The American manservant on the side moved out of a delicate table, and the maid from China brought paintbrushes, paint boxes, ink, and paper. The Chinese maid sharpened the inkstone and asked Hong Caili, "Are you okay?" Hong Caili replied with a smile and in a whisper, no problem, Auntie, don't worry! Everyone was silent, staring intently at the white paper. Hong Caili glanced at the mountains outside the courtyard for a short while, and she sometimes "swished" and moved with her pen and ink, and sometimes she gently "swished" and ran lightly. After a while, the painting paper showed a rough and timeless flower and fruit mountain with a blend of color and ink, and a pool of lake water in front of the mountain also showed sparkling green, clear and bright water. Among the verdant green hills, the flowers are undulating. It gives people the visual effect of water and wood Tsinghua and fruit trees. In particular, the roots of the pine trees in the green mountains are vigorous and powerful. Most of the tree's whiskers are in the cracks of the stones, and some are exposed by the waterfall, but the branches that are still green and upright are strong and strong, giving people the tenacity of a bone strength revealed in a positive life. The sparkling water in the lake ripples, the waterfall that pours down and the reflection of the beautiful scenery of Junshan, as if rippling in the clear water, the whole mountain lake reveals the spirit of the mountain, handsome beauty. Everyone looked around Hong Caili with appreciative eyes, and then stared at the white paper. She changed to a thinner brush, or turned her wrist to move the ink lightly, like a dragonfly dotting water. From time to time, he waved his arm to redraw the brush, like a free fist that was both rigid and soft.
