Mrs. Fang learned from her son that her eldest daughter was trapped in Yuezhongxuan with Shang Qiong and Zhao Xiu, and when she hurried to the garden, Zhao Xiu had already explained the ins and outs of the matter to Gao Zhen.

Gao Zhen was thoughtful, and after thinking about it, he guessed a little bit of Miss Fang's intentions, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, and he was also a little wary of that Shang Qiong.

Shang Qiong's attitude was down-to-earth and generous, and she was very kind and kind to Zhao Xiu, but it was more like a big brother coaxing a child, and there was no **, which made Gao Zhen's expression soothe a lot. But when Mrs. Fang and Fang Jinqi arrived, he stretched his face again.

Mrs. Fang greeted Gao Zhen in a panic, and when she saw Shang Qiong and Zhao Xiu beside her, she didn't know what to say. Although the son didn't know the eldest daughter's plans, he was clear about what she wanted to see with Shang Qiong today. Although the Shang family is optimistic about Miss Fang, they also hope that their son can be satisfied with the choice of his future wife, so they specially proposed to let them meet alone and talk. Originally, it was planned for a pair of children to meet in the upper room, and in the main room next door were two parents, and it would not violate the rules of etiquette. However, it was Miss Fang who proposed that in order to help her sister hold a poetry party to entertain the ladies, she couldn't leave the table for too long, so she wanted to meet in the garden instead. Yue Banxuan is the location she chose, because the two of them still have a little girl, it is not too out of line, where did she think that such a change would happen? Mrs. Fang listened to his speculation from her son Jinqi, and she was almost distracted. Now she feels weak to Gao Zhen, a member of the royal family.

In case this nobleman says something more to the queen mother or queen mother in the palace, her youngest daughter's marriage to the emperor's grandson will be in vain! But none of them remembered it. The girl of the Zhao family of Jiannan Hou and the prince of Guangping turned out to be acquaintances. Why did the eldest daughter get into trouble with her?!

Mrs. Fang could only apologize to Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu again and again at this moment: "If such a thing happened, it was all due to poor hospitality, and I also asked the prince and Miss Zhao to forgive their sins." ”

Gao Zhen's gaze at Mrs. Fang was a little cold. He didn't know if the woman knew what her daughter was going to do. But as long as you dare to hit Zhao Xiu's idea, you can't forgive!

However, Zhao Xiu saw that Mrs. Fang's tears were about to fall, and she was obviously frightened, thinking that Miss Fang seemed to be intent on preventing Miss Fang from taking her away, she was obviously also guarding against her sister. Zhao Xiu sighed and decided to look at the face of Miss Fang, and let the Fang family go this time. Anyway, Miss Fang's calculation was in her opinion. It's all just a small fight.

She gently tugged at Gao Zhen's sleeve, and Gao Zhen looked back at her and received her look. I already knew what she meant. Although he was very unimpressed, he still said to his wife with a straight face: "It's just that, since it was an accident, how could the virtuous couple know in advance?" This son is not an unreasonable person. ”

Mrs. Fang's heart suddenly relaxed. only to realize that there was already a cold sweat behind him.

She continued: "It's windy here. Why don't you go back to the front and use tea? Let your child and nephew talk to you again. Miss Zhao's clothes were wet, and she had just climbed the window and was covered with dust, so it was better to change into clean clothes as soon as possible. I have ordered someone to bring Miss Zhao's girl to the upper room, Miss Zhao, please come with my girl, right? ”

Zhao Xiu looked at Gao Zhen and saw him nodding, so he smiled and said to Mrs. Fang, "Then please." ”

Mrs. Fang was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly ordered the most important confidant girl around her to take Zhao Xiu away, as for Gao Zhen. was accompanied by his son Fang Jinqi and his nephew Fang Jinju in the second room and went back to the front yard. and others left. Only Shang Qiong and the Fang family were left at the scene. She barely managed to squeeze out a smile and was about to talk to Shang Qiong. Shang Qiong saluted her: "This matter is over, and my nephew also wants to discuss with the prince, so I will retire first, and ask my aunt for forgiveness." After saying that, he respectfully retreated.

Mrs. Fang was stunned, looking at Shang Qiong's resolute departure, she had some bad premonitions in her heart.

She looked back at Yue Banxuan, looking at her eldest daughter, and her face sank: "Come on, open the door and rescue the eldest girl!" ”

The accompanying mother-in-law answered in a low voice, and led the mother-in-law on duty in the garden to come forward and unlock the lock. Unfortunately, the door lock was broken, and the key in her hand was useless. They had no choice but to let people smash the lock open, and only then did they help Miss Fang out.

Although Fang Da had been exposed by Zhao Xiu for pretending to be injured, Shang Qiong also knew about it, but at this moment, she had no choice but to continue to play this scene.

Mrs. Fang looked at her dejected eldest daughter, and could hardly help but blurt out the scolding. However, she remembered that there were still girls and women around her, so she held back and ordered, "Quickly help the girl back to her house." He gritted his teeth and said, "How did the two girls of Yunqu Yuege serve the girl?" How dare you leave your post without permission? Pull me out, hit 20 boards each, fine half a year's money, and demote to a third-class girl. If you dare to do it again in the future, you will get me out immediately! Miss Fang raised her head and moved her lips, then lowered her head again, and didn't say a word.

Zhao Xiu went down to the main courtyard of Fang's family's room under the guidance of Mrs. Fang's girl, and Bihan was already waiting there with the burden of clothes. Zhao Xiu entered the inner room, where there was a fire wall, the house was warm like spring, and there was a good smell of smoke. Mrs. Fang's girl even prepared a small snack of fragrant tea for her, and even showed her the way in the clean room, and greeted her very thoughtfully.

Zhao Xiu didn't let the girl of the Fang family get close, and only ordered Bihan to wait alone. When the two were changing, Bi Han whispered to Zhao Xiu in a little panic: "Mrs. Fang asked her to go to Miss Fang's house to find me and Miss Nanshan, and without saying a word, she sent Nanshan away, and then brought me here, saying that the girl would come over." What the hell is going on? I saw that Mrs. Fang's family seemed to have ordered someone to guard Miss Fang's house, as if something big had happened. ”

Zhao Xiu remained silent: "This is someone else's business, don't ask more." Bi Han was taken aback, and hurriedly answered "yes", and waited for Zhao Xiu to change his clothes.

Zhao Xiu only changed her skirt, took off the royal blue one, and put on a dark green doro skirt, which was embroidered with a sparse plum blossom pattern with silver thread, which was thick and good-looking, and it was also newly made with materials sent by foreign banks this year.

After changing her clothes and coming out, Mrs. Fang's maid had already sent over the hand stove that Zhao Xiu had stuffed to Miss Fang before, and added new charcoal. Add a few pieces of incense. Zhao Xiu is not used to adding this to the hand stove, but it is not easy to refuse the kindness of others. He laughed and accepted. She didn't want to drink tea and eat snacks in the upper room, so she asked to go back to the heart hall immediately. After delaying this half-day effort, she still remembered that she came to the Poetry Club.

Mrs. Fang's girl originally thought that the housemother might have something to say to Zhao Xiu for a while, so she wanted to keep her for a while. But Mrs. Fang obviously scolded her daughter and didn't come back, so she had to respectfully send Zhao Xiu all the way back to Wenxin Hall.

In the Hall of Inquiry, the ladies are ignorant of what is happening in the garden. Just now, Zhao Xiu's roar was loud. But the hall was more lively, and few people heard the movement. Yue Ge deliberately misled, so no one found out what happened to Miss Fang and Zhao Xiu. At this moment, everyone saw Zhao Xiu come back. also teased her: "Why did you change your clothes for a long time?" If you don't come back, you're really going to be left behind. ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly looked at everyone's poems, and seven or eight people had already written them, and immediately stomped his feet and said, "Oops." Why are you so fast? No way. I want to go now! With that, he took a pen and paper, sat down in a quiet corner, and began to meditate.

She has always had to make drafts when she wrote poems, and when she first saw the topic, she already had the direction of her idea, and she walked on the road and watched the snow scene, and she also had a little inspiration. It's a pity that the mess just now took away all her inspiration. Now I can only recall it bit by bit according to the original train of thought, and then scribble it with a pen. Try to put together the sentences that come to mind. After thinking about it for two quarters of an hour, I came up with four sentences. In the meantime, three more people submitted their manuscripts.

Miss Fang Si quietly touched her again, secretly looked at what she had written, and when she saw half a sentence, she burst into a smile and deliberately asked in a voice that everyone could hear: "Miss Zhao, what kind of white characters are you writing?" I can't read any of them. If you can't even write, can you really make poetry? ”

Zhao Xiu glanced at her: "This is not a white letter, it is a mark I used in private, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from understanding what I wrote, and then peeked at it!" ”

Miss Fang Si was so angry that her face turned red again, she stomped her feet, turned around and left. Miss Liu's table was next to her, and she taunted her without raising her head: "You're bored with yourself again, why don't you hurry up and write your own poems?" If you fall down again, what face do you still have? Miss Fang Si glared at the back of her head, looked at the paper in front of her where she had only written two lines of poetry, and felt worried.

Zhao Xiu suddenly got inspiration, brushed the remaining four lines of the poem and completed it, and then connected it back and forth, changed a few bad rhymes and words, checked the use of allusions again, and then copied the poem completely on the paper, read it, and felt that it should be able to make a difference, so he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

She handed over the manuscript of the poem to Fang Wu. At this time, among the ladies present, there were only six people left who had not yet delivered.

Miss Fang Wu was a little surprised to see that she had finished the poem so quickly, picked up the poem manuscript and looked at it, and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to worry, think about it again, right?" She felt that Zhao Xiu's poems could be done better, perhaps because the time was too hasty and a little rougher.

Zhao Xiu smiled: "I really can't calm down to make poetry today, and it's almost the same if I think about it." ”

Miss Fang Wu was silent, and after a while, she asked in a low voice, "What did my sister do?" Fang Nanshan came back...... I always felt that something was wrong. ”

Zhao Xiu thought about it, glanced around, and saw that no one was nearby, so he lowered his voice and told Miss Fang Wu what had just happened concisely. She didn't say her guess, she just put the facts in front of the other party, and as for what the other party would think, that was the other party's business.

The more Miss Fang heard this, the more surprised she became, and when she arrived, her face was already very ugly. She was originally a smart little girl in Bingxue, and she knew a lot of inside information that Zhao Xiu didn't know, so she quickly guessed the eldest sister's plan. She looked at Zhao Xiu, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only say three words: "I'm sorry." ”

Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows: "What are you sorry for me?" Again, this matter has nothing to do with you. Didn't you stop your sister just now? ”

Miss Fang Wu pursed her lips: "It's hard to say anything now." One day, I'll give you an explanation! ”

Zhao Xiu took a deep look at her, got up with a smile and walked away.

Zhao Xiu came to Cao Luo's side, looked at the poems she made, and pointed out two small mistakes, which Cao Luo quickly corrected. At this time, two more people handed in the manuscript, and Cao Luo hurriedly copied her poem and handed it in. By this time, there were still three people who had not yet delivered, and she began to rejoice that she was not the last to finish the poem.

Miss Fang has never come back, Miss Fang's mind is no longer on the poem, and the evaluation of the poem is discussed by everyone. Fang Wu won the championship again, and Miss Liu tied for second place with another Zhuge girl. Zhao Xiu's work today is a little mediocre, and he is in the middle of the stream with other girls, but it is recognized that he is above the average level, and he is better than Miss Wang's, so he is not ashamed. Cao Luo is third from the bottom, and the ranking has taken another step forward, which can be regarded as a surprise. It's Miss Fang Si, who fell to the end of the bag again today. She was very unconvinced, and snatched Cao Luo's poem manuscript to pick thorns, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her. Even Miss Wang and Miss Fang, who have always been close to her, only paid attention to Zhao Xiu's poems and did not help her speak.

The absence of Miss Fang and Miss Fang's thoughts did not belong to each other, which seemed to imply that something bad had happened to the Fang family. The ladies joked, and they also noticed something abnormal, and they said goodbye one after another. Zhao Xiu was not the first to leave, nor was he the last to go, he mixed with everyone and left, without talking to anyone in the Fang family again.

It was not early, and it was already the second half of the day. Zhao Xiu spent a lot of energy making poems, and felt a little tired at this time, so he sat on the wall of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate. Suddenly, the coachman said, "Girl, it seems that someone is following us." Zhao Xiu hurriedly sat up, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked back, but recognized it as Gao Zhen's horse at a glance.

She smiled. (To be continued......)
