Miss Chen looked very shy, just like a shimizu hibiscus, and now that someone was praising her, her eyes were even more red with shame.

"It's just a little craft, and there's nothing to praise about."

The eldest sister was at the right time, she heard this, snorted lightly, and said.

"That's right, my sister's female red is excellent, this little gadget you embroidered, but it can't get into my sister's eyes."

She slapped Miss Chen's face in the face with these words, without saving face at all.

A few women who were good friends with Miss Chen were reluctant.

"So, the third lady's embroidery is of a very high standard, right?"

Miss Chen is kind-hearted, and she has no heart, she has always been protected by several people as her sister, but now she is bullied by women, of course, she can't sit idly by.

All of a sudden, women became the target of everyone.

"It just so happens that today is a banquet held by Princess Taihe, and a project was originally arranged for everyone to have fun, since the third lady is confident, it is better to speak with real skills."

The woman returned the handkerchief in her hand to Miss Chen, coldly glanced at the eldest sister who was watching the show, and then walked in front of everyone.

"Miss Chen's embroidery is outstanding, I am ashamed of myself, and I am not good at being a female celebrity, I am just a businessman who is stained with money, and I can only settle accounts!"

"If you have to show me, I'll just show you the reckoning."

Accounts?

This talent is really rare.

Learning the skill of housekeeper to settle accounts is not something they have come into contact with at their age, let alone quick calculation?

Finally, a few official ladies pushed out a woman in a pink dress.

"Sister Zhao, your arithmetic is the best, don't let us down today."

The woman in the pink dress was not angry, but asked the people on the side to help bring the table, chair, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sat on the chair, and prepared to calculate.

"I'll come first!"

Seeing that the woman actually agreed to the challenge, the eldest sister's group of friends couldn't hold back.

"The cost of a box of rouge is ten yuan, the price is thirty yuan, and fifty boxes of rouge can be sold a day, how much is the net profit of a month?"

The Miss Zhao family on the side frowned after hearing this, picked up the pen and performed the calculation on the paper.

The woman snapped her fingers lightly and blurted out: "Thirty thousand words." ”

This free and easy look completely aroused the curiosity of several little girls, and a string of numbers popped out of their mouths.

In the end, even the eldest sister gritted her teeth and couldn't believe it, so she simply took advantage of the fact that those young ladies were shut up, and directly gave the woman a four-digit multiplication problem.

Although arithmetic is not difficult, it is necessary to take a pen and paper to calculate the truth, but I didn't expect that after the woman paused for two or three seconds, she still blurted out the answer without hesitation.

The eldest sister couldn't believe it, and the little girls around her were also convinced.

"No way, it must be the number you said casually."

Miss Zhao, who had been sitting on the side for a long time, raised her head and put down the brush, rubbed her sore wrist, and said lightly: "She's right." ”

This is true

One out.

It made those people who were mocking women just now suddenly shut up, and their faces were very ugly.

"Heh, she is worthy of being the daughter of a businessman, she smells of copper, and the only talent she can do is arithmetic, and she can't be on the stage!" Someone snorted softly, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

The woman is looking for prestige and is a scathing young lady.

"What Miss said makes sense, then Miss must have never learned arithmetic at home, but the little girl heard that the nobles in Kyoto are all trained according to Mrs. Yan, so it is necessary to preside over the accounting of the middle feed, and it seems that there is no requirement for this in the young lady's family!"

The woman's voice was faint, and she couldn't hear her joy and anger, but she was poking at that young lady with every word, and she had to learn from Mrs. Chang, and if she didn't learn, wouldn't she just be a concubine?

Someone understood the meaning, covered his mouth and snickered, his eyebrows crooked.

On the side, Wei Qian drank the sake in the cup steadily, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You ......" The young lady was half angry with the woman, and was about to have a seizure and was pulled by the person next to her, and endured it.

The scenery in Princess Taihe's mansion is indeed good, and everyone talked and laughed and quickly covered up this unpleasantness.

However, at the moment, all the men had no intention of admiring the scenery of the mansion, and they all frowned at a note sent by Princess Taihe.

The content of the note is also very simple, if anyone can cover all the spring colors in this garden, they will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver as a reward.

The eldest brother-in-law stood up and saluted to all the people who were meditating, "I have already written a poem, and I will definitely satisfy Princess Taihe." ”

"Spring can't be closed, red apricots want to go out of the wall"

The eldest brother-in-law trembled and read out the last sentence of the poem, which can be regarded as stopping the cold sweat on his body.

Voices of praise and annoyance sounded all around, only Wei Qian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he glanced at the woman, both of whom saw surprise in the other party's eyes.

This poem......

It was Wei Qian who heard the woman read it, and originally wanted to make a fortune today.

I didn't expect it to be stolen by my eldest brother-in-law.

Wei Qian raised his glass to the woman, and when he saw the woman nodding, he got up and read.

"Last year, there was snow in the door today, people have peach blossoms like snow, people don't know where to go, peach blossoms warm water and smile in the spring breeze, I don't know how my song compares with my brother-in-law's?"

The courtyard fell silent.

Everyone present was chewing on Wei Qian's poem repeatedly, using easy-to-understand sentences, but when combined, it had an unexpected effect.

What's more, he saw his clinking glasses with the woman in the air.

That's when it happened.

A hurried maid walked in from outside the banquet and whispered a few words beside Princess Taihe.

Princess Taihe, who was still smiling on her face, suddenly changed her face, and the cup in her hand smashed on the table, as if something big had happened.

The courtyard fell silent, waiting for Tai to talk to the princess.

I saw Princess Taihe sweep the faces of everyone present, and then said in a deep voice: "The big girl beside me just now, I don't know who pushed her into the lake and announced her death!"

”

It would have been fine if it was just an ordinary maid, but when she was talking to someone just now, the maid happened to be eavesdropping on the side.

The maid broke the teacup in a panic and fled, and the house searched vigorously because of the lack of a banquet, until she found out the trace of the girl just now, but she lost her breath.

Someone must have gotten the news from that.

Liu Ruyi, the eldest sister's close friend, hooked her lips and smiled, giving the eldest sister a look, planning to take advantage of this time to pit the woman ruthlessly.

"Princess, the little girl saw the three girls of the Xia Mansion with her own eyes, and quietly slipped out, and I don't know what she was doing......
