Chapter 73 Lotus Banquet (4)

"I'll start with the word 'lotus', the lotus hat with the sun, and the green mountains will return to the distance alone." Zhou Mengya, as the host, first smiled and spoke, and after she finished speaking, she motioned to Liuying to let the zither sing. She was already holding a folded lotus flower in her hand at the moment, ready to pass it on to one person along with the sound of the piano.

After receiving instructions from her young lady, she waved her handkerchief and began to play the piano.

Hearing the sound of the piano, Zhou Mengya passed the lotus flower in her hand to one person. It was Zhu Zhiyuan who was standing next to her, Zhu Zhiyuan got it in her hand but was not in a hurry to pass it on, but she waited for a while and found that the sound of the piano would only be passed on to a person before it fell. She prides herself on being a talented woman, and she has been reading poetry books since she was a child, and she naturally doesn't talk about memorizing poems, but unfortunately it won't be her turn for the time being.

She wanted to make an order, but the sisters Cheng Fenghua and Cheng Fengzhen who received it didn't want to. They don't like to read since they were young, so they can know a few words, and it is impossible to memorize poems.

Fortunately, when Cheng Fengzhen hurriedly handed the lotus to Zhou Mengchan, the sound of the piano stopped.

Zhou Mengchan smiled and thought for a moment, then opened her mouth and ordered: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face." I start with the word 'flower', and the flowers bloom and fall nowhere to be found, as if blowing a flute on a moonlit night. ”

After Zhou Mengchan finished speaking, she signaled, and the sound of the piano started again, and the sound of the piano at this time began to become rapid, like a small waterfall bursting out and like a plate full of pearls and jade. Zhou Mengchan hurriedly passed the lotus to Zhou Mengjuan beside her. After Zhou Mengjuan took the lotus flower, she didn't want to hand it directly to the person in front of her, and it was a green-clothed girl who looked ordinary in front of her.

After the girl in green answered, the sound of the piano, which had been urgent, began to slow down, and it sounded like a long stream of water swirling and falling flowers, and like a hazy light rain of bamboo leaves. The girl in green had to stay in her hand for a short time before passing it on. When she reached the hands of one person, just as the music stopped, her frightened and nervous expression finally breathed a sigh of relief, which made everyone laugh.

The lady who received the lotus again couldn't catch it, she was very happy to punish herself with a cup, and after drinking it, she found that it was very delicious and punished another cup. The ladies present were amused again, and the verandah was even more lively.

When it was Ma Guixiang's turn, she thought carefully for a while but found that she couldn't understand it, so she had to pout and punish herself. Ma Yuxiang picked up the lotus in the back, but the piano sound stopped again, she actually had a sentence in her heart, but because Sister Yan didn't receive it, she had to give up and punish herself. But her heart was a little depressed, muttering that her sister was not good at studying, but she was tired, and she was not good at expressing it.

After waiting for a lap but finding that there was no one behind her, Zhou Mengya took a look and found that Chunyu was far away, so she beckoned Chunyu to join the game. Chunyu hurriedly shook her head and said no, but her fourth aunt Qin Caiyu smiled and pushed her to the front.

"Spring rain is coming here." Zhou Mengya hurriedly said to Chunyu.

"I can't do it, where can I do this with a village girl." Chunyu walked over helplessly and said modestly.

"It's a bit self-aware, but since it's not a maid here, you have to participate.reads();。 Otherwise, you will punish yourself with a glass, and you will not want to drink the wine you brought? The corners of Zhu Zhiyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Chunyu and said.

"......" Chunyu didn't want to deal with it, but when she heard the last sentence she said, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and when she was considered to be a radical general, she said: "The ladies who have drunk my wine are naturally determined, since Miss Zhu is so kind to invite me, I will take it." ”

"Just received the month." Zhou Mengya saw that Chunyu glanced at her in private, and hurriedly reminded her.

"The confinement bends and shines on Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad." Chunyu said.

Then Chunyu passed the lotus to Zhou Mengya, and Zhou Mengya smiled and passed it to Zhu Zhiyuan. Just at this time, the piano stopped again, and Zhu Zhiyuan smiled proudly. She also didn't think about it, and opened her mouth and said: "The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping. ”

Then the sound of the piano started again, but Zhu Zhiyuan did not forget to pass it on. She smiled and said, "Miss Chunyu is wrong, you only took the poem but didn't take the words again." Presumably, the village aunt's family has never participated in such a banquet in the countryside, so I'll make another one. I'll use the word 'summer' again. I took Xia Mu before the shade, and Qiulan was already dewed. Spring rain girl, this time it's a five-hundred-go. But this time we won't mention the rules, how about just taking the word 'summer'? ”

"The early days of summer are long, and the south wind is fragrant." Chunyu didn't answer her, and thought about it and received it directly.

"The wind in the north window in summer, the pillow seat is like a cool autumn." Zhu Zhiyuan also said directly.

The two of them are getting faster and faster, it's like they're fighting, well, it's really a fight. The long pavilion outside the Lan Pavilion playing the piano turned out to be very interesting, and the sound of the piano did not stop, and he even played the "General Order" in a very emotional manner. The yin and yang frustrated, and the sound of the piano was excited, which made the audience more involved in the play, except that there was no gunsmoke, as if it was a battlefield for generals to fight......

"There are not many cicadas in the summer, and the green locust is full of shade."

"Summer sunrise in the northeast, Lingtian through the middle street."

"Summer leap and autumn are early, and July is coquettish."

"Summer sunrise in the northeast, Lingtian through the middle street."

"The beginning of the summer is half yin, and the clouds are in the autumn."

“……”

“……”

The two didn't know how long it took to pick up, and Chunyu was speechless, she stopped directly and punished herself with a glass of wine to admit defeat. She was also impulsive, after all, this was Zhou Mengya's birthday, and it was absolutely wrong for her to do this. It's just that when she looked at the expression of interest and unfinished with it, she knew that she was really worried, and people were not angry at all and were very happy, okay!

However, the lotus banquet ended perfectly, and Chunyu took the initiative to admit defeat very sincerely, which also gave Zhu Zhiyuan a face-saving step. Although this step was obviously a deliberate provocation by Chunyu in Zhu Zhiyuan's opinion, Chunyu didn't want to pay attention to her at all. Whatever, she really can't remember much except that she is tired.

However, Zhou Mengya saw what Zhu Zhiyuan was still trying to say, and she was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again, and let Chunyu be wronged again in vain. When the eldest brother comes back, maybe he will still talk about her sister. But as for Zhu Zhiyuan's side, she is still not afraid that she will be angry, and if she wants to marry into their Zhou family, she should wait for her life. No, never think about it. So the banquet went on in harmony, and then lunch, and everyone ate well and chatted well......

Until he got home, Chunyu kept lamenting his impulsiveness. It's not a child anymore, and he can even get excited about it. However, her fourth aunt, Qin Caiyu, was praising her vigorously, and she was even more annoyed!
