The two girls met face to face and glanced at each other. Xin'er still had a humble smile on her face, but a hint of unease flashed in her eyes. Yue Ge was a little confused and a little nervous, but quickly covered up the past.

Immediately afterwards, the two passed by, and Xin'er came between Zhao Xiu and Cao Luo, first served tea to Zhao Xiu, and then turned to face Cao Luo. Yue Ge put the tea bowl on Zhao Xiu's left hand, and then took another bowl of tea from the little girl behind her and put it in front of Miss Wang.

Zhao Xiu only felt inexplicable. Who's serving tea like this when they're entertaining? Two people come all the way from different directions, and when they cross, they serve two teas to the same guest? There's nothing wrong with the Fang family's girl, right?

However, compared to Miss Fang's girl Yuege, Zhao Xiu should be more wary of the second girl's girl. She hadn't forgotten that the one who was suspected of stealing her handkerchief before was Miss Fang Si's girl. Now this Xin'er is the second girl Fang's person, and Ruizhu is a family, and she also came to do the work of waiting for guests for some reason, and her eyes still looked at her jade pendant from time to time, maybe her hands and feet were not clean.

As she expected, this core slowly picked up the last cup of tea in the tea tray and put it on the table in front of Cao Luo. Cao Luo looked at her inexplicably: "No need, I already have tea." Xin'er's hand paused: "Yes." He bowed down and retreated, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the hand serving the tea was not steady, the teacup flipped over, fell to the ground, cracked into pieces, and splashed the hot tea on the ground.

Zhao Xiu had been on guard for a long time, and when she saw the tea bowl in her hand swaying, she got up in advance and avoided the side. It stands to reason. With her agility, she could have avoided this catastrophe. It's a pity that God wasn't on her side, and she dodged the teacup that Xin'er fell. didn't watch out for Yuege behind her, who also dropped the tea bowl, and the tea in the bowl spilled on the ground, staining half of her skirt. Fortunately, the tea was only warm, so she was not injured.

Zhao Xiu looked at the two tea stalls in front of him and behind him, and was a little speechless for a moment.

Everyone who heard the sound turned their heads and was very surprised: "What's the matter?" "What happened?" "Did you break the teacup?" There are also girls with a more lively temperament, who stood up directly and propped up the edge of the table to look around.

Miss Fang's face was all blue, how could this be? What's going on with Xin'er?!

Yue Ge is worthy of being Miss Fang's henchman. The first one reacted, and looked at Miss Wang on the side with a helpless expression: "Miss Wang, why did you hit me......"

Miss Wang was looking at Zhao Xiu's liveliness, and her heart was full of schadenfreude. When she heard such a sentence, she was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" When did I hit you? ”

Yue Ge stopped talking with a face, and then lowered her head with a little grievance: "Yes, it's not good to be a slave." It was the slave who didn't hold the tea bowl steady. ”

She said so. On the contrary, the surrounding ladies felt that it must have been Miss Wang who bumped into Yuege, so that the latter fell into the tea bowl. Miss Wang had just had a quarrel with Miss Zhao, and she was also very dissatisfied with Miss Zhao before the banquet, this was taking the opportunity to fall on Miss Zhao's face, right? The ladies frowned, and many people were bored with Miss Wang. What about a good family background and a powerful father? Everyone is a scholarly and noble family, and they have never been afraid of the powerful, such a vulgar and rude and narrow-minded girl. Which one would love to befriend her?

Even the two girls, Fang Er and Fang Si, felt in their hearts that Miss Wang wanted to make a fool of Zhao Xiu in front of so many people. It's stupid. Wouldn't it make people think that they weren't smart when they were messing around with such stupid people? For a while, he began to hesitate whether to continue to circle around Miss Wang.

Miss Wang was so angry that her face turned purple, she wasn't really stupid, how could she not understand that the girl of the Fang family admitted her mistake so much, but made people think that she made it bad? She has always been used to being praised by others, and she can't stand it the most, so she angrily scolded Yue Ge: "You made it clear to me!" Who the hell hit you? Didn't you drop the teacup because you were clumsy yourself? Actually, you did it on purpose, right?! ”

Yue Ge bowed her head and still looked submissive: "Yes, it was the slave who said it wrong, it was the slave who accidentally dropped the teacup, it has nothing to do with Miss Wang, and I ask Miss Wang to forgive me." She fell to her knees.

Seeing that she was so low in a low voice, some others couldn't help but speak: "It's just a trivial matter, this girl also admits that she is wrong, why should Miss Wang be aggressive?" ”

There are also people whispering to each other: "Just plant the blame for the girl, everyone covers it up for her, what does she not forgive?" Miss Zhao is the main one, and she didn't speak. ”

The discussion was buzzing, and Miss Wang listened to it in her ears, trembling with anger. She felt that this was a complete conspiracy, the girl of the Fang family deliberately framed her, when did she offend the Fang family, and kindly came to the door to congratulate the Fang family girl on her birthday, but she was so angry?!

At this time, Zhao Xiu, the main son, smiled and spoke: "Forget it, it's just a trivial matter, why care?" I should be unlucky today, how can it be so coincidental that the two cups of tea on the left and right are spilled. I avoided one cup, but I couldn't avoid the second cup, so it can be seen that I should have encountered this disaster. Please don't dislike me, sisters, and let me continue to listen to your masterpieces. ”

Her attitude was humble and pleasant and funny, and the ladies all laughed, and one of them said, "How can I dislike you?" The Fang family's tea is made of fine tea, and your skirt is stained with the fragrance of tea, which adds a bit of elegance. Everyone laughed.

Compared with the evil and unforgiving Wang girl, the kind and funny Zhao Xiu is obviously more in line with their temperament. Even if Miss Wang is the daughter of the Wenchen family and is a member of their circle, and Zhao Xiu is the daughter of the Xungui Mansion, she has never been the same way with them, and they are more willing to get close to the latter.

Miss Fang showed a dignified and kind smile, got up and said, "Although it is a joke, but in such a cold weather, Sister Zhao is not fun wearing a wet skirt, what if she catches a cold?" Sister Zhao come with me, I'll take you to change your clothes. Then he said to the ladies: "After the porridge is finished and the tea has been drunk, everyone should hurry up and compose poems." Shemei has been thinking about today's topic for several days, and she still doesn't know how to embarrass people. ”

With a smile on her face, Fifth Miss Fang glanced at her sister deeply.

Listened to Miss Fang's words. Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the poem title that was about to be unveiled, and they all vomited: "Fifth Sister Fang wins the championship every time, why bother us?" "The last question was so difficult. I almost didn't finish it. "Today is Laba, could it be that the topic is Laba porridge?" "Hahaha how to compose poems for eight porridges? Don't laugh. While laughing, they got up and went to the café.

Seeing this, Miss Wang became more and more angry, and the second girl Fang walked to her sister and worked together to persuade the former: "It's a bad girl, we will definitely punish her heavily when we turn back." Miss Wang, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry. "It's good to talk about it, and persuade people to leave.

Fang Er looked back and saw Xin'er and said to Zhao Xiu with a humble face: "Fang Cai's slave was too careless. The slave and maid wiped the girl's skirt. He took out a handkerchief again, and rushed with Yuege to wipe the tea leaves on Zhao Xiu's skirt, and his heart suddenly became angry. I just feel that this girl has embarrassed herself.

But Zhao Xiu didn't appreciate Xin'er's affection at all, avoided two steps, and said coldly: "No need, you better hurry back to your girl." When pouring tea later. Be attentive. If you don't stare at other people's jade pendants, you won't break the teacup. ”

Xin'er was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red. When the second girl heard this, she felt even more embarrassed, and scolded Xin'er: "What are you still doing stupidly? Don't you hear that people dislike you? Whose girl are you? It's really embarrassing for me, why don't you hurry up and get out of here?! ”

Xin'er was stunned, and when she saw Yuege also drop the cup, she knew it was not good. It's all too obvious. Who believed that this could be a coincidence? Although there is Miss Wang as a shield right now, the attention of others is on Yuege's side. So ignore her for the time being. She also wants to fight for the errand of changing Zhao Xiu's clothes, so as to steal one or two tokens from Zhao Xiu and complete the task ordered by the old lady. But Zhao Xiu directly debunked her calculations, and Miss Fang Er didn't cooperate, how did she act?

She is in a dilemma, and Yuege is about to fall into the well: "Sister, let's go first, the two girls are angry." It's not easy for your mistake today to quench the anger of the second girl. Leave it to me here. Fifth Miss Fang also walked over at this time, and said lightly, "You go down." You don't need to wait here. Fang Wu's girl, Dong Li, stepped forward with a smile and pulled her away: "Sister Xin'er, let's go, if you don't leave, the second girl should punish you." For her good, he looked like he was helping her avoid the punishment of the mean hostess Fang Er. Xin'er only had time to call "Sister Dongli ......" and was forcibly pulled away. Fang Er's face turned blue with anger, but she didn't dare to offend Fang Wu, so she could only turn her head and leave with hatred.

Miss Fang Wu smiled and said to Zhao Xiu: "I can't leave at this time, how about letting my girl take you to my house to change your clothes?" ”

Miss Fang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sister Zhao is taller than you, my sister's clothes are only afraid that they are not suitable, I have a newly made skirt there, because it is short, I am about to take it back and change it, just for Sister Zhao to wear." ”

Miss Fang Wu glanced at her sister with an uncertain expression, and said to Zhao Xiu: "In this case, I will let my girl accompany you." I was supposed to accompany you on this trip, but unfortunately I couldn't leave. Don't blame the faux pas. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "It's just a small thing, don't take it to heart." As for the clothes, I have spare ones in the car, let my girl take them, no matter where they are, as long as it is a clean room, borrow me to change the skirt. I'm here to attend the poetry meeting today, and if I lose to someone else because of the change of clothes, wouldn't I be wronged? ”

Fang Wu girl smiled: "What is this?" Will definitely be waiting for you to come back. He turned around and called his girl: "Nanshan, you go and call Miss Zhao's girl." Her girl hurriedly took the order.

Zhao Xiu asked with some curiosity: "Dongli, Nanshan, the girl of the five girls, is the name taken from Tao Yuanming's poem?" ”

Miss Fang Wu smiled and nodded: "I love these two poems the most, 'Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan', it is really indescribably comfortable." ”

Zhao Xiu looked at Miss Fang thoughtfully: "Your girl's name is Yunqu and Moon Song, could it be from Zhang Ji's "Huaqing Palace" in the sentence 'Yushu Long Floating Cloud Song, Neon Clothes Dancing in the Moon'?" "The hearts of the sisters of this Fang family can also be glimpsed from their favorite poems.

Miss Fang smiled and nodded: "My sister is also familiar with poetry books, no wonder she writes good poems." With a hint of anxiety between her eyebrows, she unconsciously glanced in the direction of the door, and persuaded Zhao Xiu again: "Sister, let's wait in my room first." It's windy in the garden, and it's easier to catch a cold while wearing wet clothes. ”

Miss Fang frowned slightly. was about to speak, but was preempted by his sister: "The guests are waiting for my sister to open the question, my sister should go quickly." Don't be rude. Miss Zhao will leave it to me. ”

Miss Fang Wu wanted to speak and stopped, so she could only whisper to Nanshan: "Good students are waiting, don't be lazy." Nanshan bent his knees.

Zhao Xiu watched Miss Fang go away, and when she looked back at Miss Fang, she only felt that her words and deeds today were strange.

Miss Fang still had a dignified smile on her face: "Miss Zhao, let's go?" Zhao Xiu said: "My girl hasn't come yet." Miss Fang was stunned, and smiled good-naturedly in an instant.

Bihan is here. A look of surprise. Zhao Xiu instructed her to pick up her clothes, so she put a cloak on Zhao Xiu: "The girl wears this first, and then holds the stove." lest the wind blow. I'll be back soon. ”

Miss Fang hurriedly said: "I'll take you girls to my house to change clothes, it's warmer and more convenient over there." I think you don't know the road, Nanshan. You lead her there. ”

Nanshan blinked. Hesitantly agreed, turned around and led Bihan out. Miss Fang smiled again and said to Zhao Xiu, "Miss Zhao, let's go?" Don't worry, with Nanshan leading the way, your girl won't get lost. ”

Zhao Xiu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Wait until I read the topic first." So he went straight to the teahouse. Miss Fang hurriedly followed nervously.

Miss Fang Wu had just written down the title of today's poem on paper and unfolded it for everyone to see, but it was the word "snow scene". This is a common topic. But today's request was unusual, because Miss Fang Wu requested. The poems written by everyone are not allowed to appear common words such as "ice", "snow", and "jade", and they cannot be written coldly, but they must be as happy as possible, otherwise her birthday will be too unlucky.

A few girls began to laugh and complain: "This topic is fresh, and the snow scene is white, how can you be happy?" It's obvious that you're embarrassed. ”

Miss Fang Wu smiled without saying a word, caught a glimpse of the eldest sister following behind Zhao Xiu, looked at the latter with a nervous expression, and said to everyone: "Today's topic is more difficult, I will not limit the rhyme, nor the time limit, as long as everyone can write it before the banquet." ”

Someone smiled and asked: "If we can't write it all the time, will it be possible that the house will entertain us for dinner?" ”

Miss Fang Wu smiled: "If my sister appreciates her face, then what's the matter?" Everyone laughed again and dispersed, some staring at the pen and paper, some sitting at the chess table and talking, some gathering together to discuss in a whisper, and some running to the window to enjoy the snow outside, and by the way to find some inspiration.

Zhao Xiu stared at the topic and thought about it, and his heart was full of drafts.

Fifth Miss Fang quietly pulled the eldest sister to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Big sister, what do you want to do?" The Zhao family is not easy to mess with, and Miss Zhao has never hindered you in anything, why do you have trouble getting along with her? ”

Miss Fang forced a smile and said, "What is my sister talking nonsense? Why should I ever have trouble with her? "I just want to talk to her privately and get a look at her." If you can befriend her and let her take the initiative to back down, wouldn't everyone be happy? What does my sister think I'm going to do to her? She gently pushed her sister: "Go and compose poetry, don't let others win the leader, and ruin your reputation as a poetess." ”

Fifth Miss Fang looked at her with a frown, and left hesitantly: "I hope my sister didn't lie to me." “

Miss Fang's expression was a little complicated for a while, but she quickly regained her composure, and she stepped forward with a smile: "Sister Zhao, let's go?" ”

Zhao Xiu looked back at her suspiciously, and smiled slightly: "Okay." She wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Da's gourd.

They walked out of the Hall of Inquiry with Yuege and a girl, and as soon as they went out, there was a cold wind blowing in their faces. Zhao Xiu was glad that the cloak on her body was thick enough and blocked the wind, otherwise the wet skirt would be enough for her. She looked at the clothes on Fang Da's body and asked, "If you don't wear a cloak, won't you feel cold?" Fang Da's face was clearly pale, but he still replied with a smile: "I'm not cold." ”

They took a small road, and according to Fang Da, they could directly reach the sisters' yard from this side, which was a truncated path, and there were few people. Zhao Xiu was noncommittal, with these two people by his side, it was expected that there would be no danger.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the garden, Fang Da suddenly said: "The wind here is colder than Fang Cai, I knew that this was the case, so I put on my cloak and came out again." Then she instructed Yuege: "Go and get me the cloak." Yue Ge went willingly, and only Zhao Xiu and Fang Da were left on the road.

Zhao Xiu frowned, and looked at Fang Da suspiciously, Fang Da pointed at Xiao Xuan in front of him casually: "Is Miss Zhao cold?" I'm waiting here for the moon song, will you go up to that room and wait? It's warmer over there. ”

Zhao Xiu said: "It's windy here, and it's getting colder after a long time, so let's go to your courtyard first." If it's really cold, how about I lend you my cloak? ”

Fang Da hurriedly smiled: "No need, then let's go first." She turned around and didn't take two steps before she suddenly screamed, and sat down softly against the tree beside the road: "I seem to have stepped on a small pebble and turned my foot, what should I do?" I can't walk anymore. ”

Zhao Xiu was speechless again. This bluestone path has been swept clean, and even the snow is gone, where did the pebbles come from? What the hell is Fang Da doing?

Immediately after, Fang Da finally said what she had been thinking about for a long time: "Miss Zhao, can you help me go up to Xiao Xuan to see if there is anyone inside?" Maybe the mother-in-law who watched the garden would rest there. If there is no one, look for it. I'm injured like this, I have to find someone to help, otherwise I won't even be able to walk back to the yard. ”

Zhao Xiu glanced at her a few times and smiled slightly: "Looking for someone?" No problem. ”

In the next second, she took a deep breath and shouted, "Anyone? Anyone? Miss Fang is injured! Someone's coming! The sound was heard in the sky.

Miss Fang was stunned by the yelling. (To be continued......)
