Zhu Ling's poetry meeting at the end of February was really lively.

Even if the weather in the border city is cold, the weather at the end of February has become warmer, and the heavy cotton clothes have been removed, and the girls have re-revealed their slender figures, and Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong have put on newly made spring shirts.

The Zhao sisters met two more Wang girls, and of course, there was also Zheng Miaoying, a Zheng girl who had a relationship at the Lantern Festival poetry meeting.

At the Lantern Festival, Zheng Miaoying won the first place in one fell swoop, but Zhao Changqing saw that she was not very interested in making poems, but she would also sing one or two poems with Da Yu. Fortunately, there are prefects' daughters, generals' daughters, scholarly eunuchs such as Wang, Zhu, and Zhao families, and everyone is not very interested in the daughter of a seven-grade imperial historian.

It is the Zhao Mi girl of the Zhao Zhuangyuan family who seems to be unhappy with Zhao Changqing and Zhao Rong's sisters, but fortunately, Zhao Mi is from a family of poets, even if she is unhappy, she is just colder, but she has no overreaction. This made Zhao Changqing slightly relieved, if what she expected was good, it should be something wrong at the Lantern Festival poetry meeting.

Zheng Miaoying came out on top, it is indeed a good poem, and no one is unconvinced. Zhu Ling was born in the Zhu family, and there were relatives in the family who were high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, so Zhao Mi did not dare to disagree. is the sister of the Zhao family, Zhao Rong is young, Zhao Changqing is purely lucky, the Zhao family is from a military family, and Zhao Yong is just a general banner. Such a girl from other families is stronger than her, which makes Zhao Mi, who was born in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, convinced.

In this poetry meeting, Zhao Rong and the Wang sisters are the center.

The Wang sisters are newly returned to their hometown with their father to serve their grandfather for a long time, and there is the aftermath of Wang Laoshangshu, who dares not to give face to the Wang sisters? Zhao Rong spoke completely by strength, and people were surprised by her age.

Looking at Zhao Rong's innocent smile with cold eyes, Zhao Changqing ate snacks and drank tea on the side with confidence, and held the railing with one hand to look at the scenery in the garden. For a while, everyone evaluated the merits of poetry and writing, this time Wang Yu, the girl of the Wang family, took the lead, the daughter of the prefect was in the top spot, Zheng Miaoying was Tanhua, and Zhao Rong was ranked fifth, and the most inferior was Zhao Changqing, who had to be the last.

Listening to the ranking of a group of little girls chirping and singing, Zhao Changqing smiled and continued to take a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth.

Zhao Mi's eyes were like water, he glanced at Zhao Changqing, and smiled, "I think this ranking is extremely public, Sister Wang's poetry is excellent, but Sister Qing has fallen into the first place again." This time, you deserve a penalty. ”

Zhao Changqing sipped tea with a smile, "Sister wants to punish me for something, why don't you punish me for eating a few more dim sum." ”

Zhao Mi smiled, "Just now, I saw that you are always eating dim sum and looking at the scenery, and your mind is used on this, so naturally you can't make good poems." I heard that my sister is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why don't you punish my sister for composing Sister Wang's poems into the song and sing a song for us? ”

Zhao Changqing shook his head, "It's not appropriate." ”

Zhao Mi smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I've learned the piano, but I really can't sing." ”

"My sister isn't being modest, is she?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Where is humility, it is the truth." ”

Chu Yue said, "A joke is a joke, just sing a song or something, I know the details of Lu Daoqing's sister, she really can't." Our poetry club was originally a joke in the boudoir, and the punishment of the piano was very elegant. ”

"yes." Zhu Ling also said with a smile, "In the future, you might as well set this rule, and those who fall behind must be punished with one piece, but whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting or one thing, it must be an elegant thing, and it will not disappoint our poetry club." ”

Zhao Mi smiled, "In this way, Sister Qing will be punished if she plays a song." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded in agreement.

Zhao Changqing didn't have much talent for the piano, and when Zhu Ling ordered someone to take the piano, Zhao Changqing had to play it intermittently. Actually, she hadn't played it for a long time, and she wanted to finish playing a song, but the endurance of these ladies was too poor, so she stopped after listening to only one paragraph. Zhao Changqing had to stop.

After everyone laughed once, it was time for lunch.

After lunch and fragrant tea, the poetry meeting ended, and everyone said goodbye. On the way home, Zhao Rong's face was very ugly, but she didn't say a word to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing is leisurely. Zhao Rong returned home and said to the Ling family, "Miss Zhao in the Zhuangyuan Mansion is really excessive, because her sister is not good at poetry, she wants her sister to play the piano and sing songs to help the fun, which is simply not in the eyes of our sisters." Sister too, Miss Zhao responded as soon as she said it, so that she felt that you were so good, and there would be times when it would be difficult for you in the future! ”

Zhao Changqing smiled disapprerovingly, "Zhao Mi is just jealous of us for the Lantern Festival, tell her to vent her anger today, and she will be more restrained in the future." ”

Zhao Rong asked, "What if she has to make inches and doesn't know how to converge?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's just that I don't go to the poetry club, anyway, according to my sister's poetic talent, I will never fall behind." "What kind of poetry will this be, she has long been not interested.

Ling Shi was very worried when he heard this, and asked Zhao Changqing, "Is the girl from the Zhuangyuan Mansion embarrassed you?" ”

Zhao Changqing didn't care, and told the Ling family about the ins and outs of the future, and the Ling family was slightly angry, "Obviously, I don't have the ability to make good poems, and I didn't shine at the Lantern Festival, but now it's your sisters to blame." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and persuaded Ling's family, "You don't have to be as knowledgeable as her, she is just bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and it is not worth turning her face with her for a little thing." Besides, her careful thinking didn't succeed, and Sister Chu and Sister Ling spoke for me. ”

Ling's anger was hard to dissipate, and he said, "It's a shame that the Champion Mansion still boasts of being a scholarly family, and the girl who has been adjusted is nothing more than that." ”

Although he was angry, he couldn't do anything about Zhao Zhuangyuan's mansion in the end, so he had to hold his breath and endure it.

Zhao Changqing really didn't pay attention to it, their sisters were in the limelight, and there were probably more than one or two people who wanted to give them power. People's minds are so weird, show their timidity to give them a place to speak, and the jealousy in their hearts will have something to say, and it will be much calmer.

When Wang Ying returned home and asked Mrs. Wang to say goodbye, Wang Fang couldn't help but smile and said, "That second girl of the Zhao family is indeed talented, at a young age, and her poems are well done." It's Miss Zhao, the poems are a mess, and the piano is played in a mess, I heard that I haven't learned everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child? Another laugh was played.

Mrs. Wang asked, "What did Yu'er say?" ”

Wang Yu took the tea from Yahuan and said softly, "Today, Miss Zhao is very talented in poetry, and Miss Zhao doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about poetry, and I see that she has eaten a lot of snacks." Today, Miss Zhao's poems fell, and Miss Zhao of the Zhuangyuan Mansion proposed to punish her for playing the piano, and she also played it, but she didn't play it very well. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "You have a poetry meeting in the boudoir, it's just a joke, it's a punishment, and you should also punish someone who is good at something, how can you punish someone else for something that they are not good at, isn't this intentional to make people ugly?" ”

Wang Fang touched the gold bracelet on his wrist and smiled, "Grandmother, it's just a joke." If she sees it correctly, the jewelry on Miss Zhao's head is all silver and gilt.

Mrs. Wang said, "They are all girls from the poetry club, and it is good to gather and laugh under this name." Although you are from different backgrounds, you should not belittle others. You must know that it is better to bully the white-haired man than to bully the poor youth. If it was the girl from the General's Mansion who fell behind, who would say that she would be punished? Even if you punish her, you probably won't dare to make fun of her like this. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang sighed, "You sisters used to live in the imperial capital, and you must have despised the ladies of the border city. I think Miss Zhao behaves and talks very well, although she is from a military family, she is a reasonable person. I ask you, you make fun of her like this, so can you show that she is angry? ”

Wang Yu said, "Miss Zhao is quite self-contained, and she makes fun of others, and she is not annoyed. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "In the future, don't learn from those small families, and be polite to everyone, this is the truth of life." After teaching the two sisters a few words, Mrs. Wang sent them down.

Mrs. Wang sighed softly, life is so long, who can have smooth sailing? Today you laugh at people, tomorrow people laugh at you. It's really fair and only white-haired, and the spring breeze is not worldly.

Mama Liang came over to change the new tea and said with a smile, "It's so decent, why did the old lady sigh again?" ”

Mrs. Wang smiled, "Look at these girls, their youth is just right, their youth is just right, and their years are just right, I can't help but sigh." ”

Mama Liang is Mrs. Wang's dowry girl, and she has never married and has been serving Mrs. Wang, so she is quite trusted by Mrs. Wang. Mama Liang also knew her master's thoughts, and said with a smile, "That Miss Zhao is just a military household." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled, "You have followed me for many years, when did you learn to be snobbish." ”

"It's not that the slave maid is snobbish, the slave maid also knows that Miss Zhao is good. Just watching the old lady sigh, she just said one more word. Mama Liang smiled, "Just look at the background, the future of our girl is far better than that of the Zhao girl." Besides, with the identity of our girl, do you want to condescend to associate with a girl from a military family? ”

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "Hey, I'm used to seeing people rise to prominence overnight, and I'm used to seeing them fall into the clouds overnight. In this life, everyone has his own life, and he is not born. ”

Mrs. Wang sipped her tea with a smile, "I have already seen through it, and many things are reluctantly coming, and I don't force it." "She really likes Zhao Changqing's self-cultivation, not everyone has the ability to spit on her own face. Zhao Changqing's background is a little worse, but who would have expected it in the future? Like a stone, you say that there will be beautiful jade in it, and it will be a treasure; I just think of it as ordinary earth and stone, and it is also human nature.

Everyone has his own fate, and that's it.

That's it.

Mrs. Wang's sigh is not mentioned, Xiao Lihuaer's steamed bun business has already begun, in Zhao Changning's words learned from Zhao Lizi, "The business is so hot that it is easy to receive money every day." ”

Zhao Changning's chatter like this is nothing more than one thing, Zhao Lizi asked him to go to his house with Su Bai to have breakfast at his stall, Zhao Changning especially wanted to go, and he was afraid that his mother would not allow it, so he came to Mo Ling's family.

Ling's belly is as big as a day, so naturally he can't go with him. Zhao Changning retreated and said, "Mother is not going, ask my sister to go with us." With my sister watching, my mother can always rest assured. ”

After grinding for half a day, Ling smiled, "Go ahead." Changqing took your younger brothers and sisters with him. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I heard that they set up an early stall, and they haven't been there yet, so it's better to go tomorrow." Do you want to go with Ah Rong? ”

With Zhao Rong's temperament, she will never do anything that has a share, and sure enough, Zhao Rong said, "I'm not going, my sister will go with my eldest brother." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Then I'll call Mr. Su and Ah Bai to go together." ”

When I got up early on the second day, the group passed without hurrying, and sure enough, Zhao Lizi's cowhide was not blown. The business of the early stall is really good, especially the steamed buns, which are selling very hot. Moreover, the breakfast stall is not only as simple as selling steamed buns, but also making wontons, selling tofu brain, fried fritters, baked flatbread, braised pork, millet porridge, and it is very complete. Because the business is good and there are many things, Xiao Lihuaer invited two more women in their thirties and forties to follow suit.

As soon as Zhao Changqing and the others went, Xiao Lihua'er wiped a table and chair with a smile and greeted, "Sir, Sister Qing, Ah Bai, Ah Ning, all sit casually, tell me what you want to eat, don't be polite with me!" ”

Everyone said it, Xiao Lihuaer quickly brought it up, and Zhao Changqing quipped, "It's really rich." ”

Xiao Lihua'er pursed her lips and smiled, "If you don't have enough to eat, don't be polite to me, you won't be able to eat enough." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "You hurry up." ”

Zhao Changqing didn't eat steamed buns, took a corner of cake to eat tofu brain, and laughed as soon as he ate it, Xiao Lihuaer is really good at business, presumably the broth of braised meat is used to mix tofu brain, and this tofu brain tastes exceptionally good. There are five or six long tables in her stall, all of which are full, and the business is really good.

Seeing Zhao Changning eating braised pork, Zhao Changqing said, "Just eat enough, don't eat it." If you want to eat, it's the same to come back tomorrow. ”

Zhao Changning puffed out his cheeks and nodded "mmmm", occasionally drank millet porridge, and ate happily.

Zhao Changqing was taking care of his younger brother to eat, and he saw a corner of the green dress sitting beside him. This table is a long table, so the group of four of them can't sit down. Zhao Changqing couldn't help but look up, and when he saw that it was an acquaintance, he couldn't help but smile, "Miss Zhao is also here for breakfast." "It's Zhao Miaoying.

Zheng Miaoying smiled and pointed to the girl ring in front of her, "I saw you here, and said hello to you." ”

Zhao Changqing introduced Mr. Su Zhao Changning Su Bai to Zheng Miaoying, Zheng Miaoying bowed slightly, "Hello sir." Seeing that Yahuan had already bought breakfast, Zheng Miaoying smiled, "My house is near here, and when you are free one day, I will invite you to come to my house to play." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I'm free every day." ”

The corners of Zheng Miaoying's lips curled, and she got up and said, "Where is your home, I will send someone to send you a post in a while, and you can come to my house tomorrow." ”

Zhao Changqing hurriedly spoke, Zheng Miaoying bowed her head, got up and said, "I'll go first." ”
