In the west corner courtyard, the birds in the bird cage on the verandah are extraordinarily active, and the outside of the courtyard has never been so lively as today, and even the birds are very excited.

The girls in the yard, Si Qi, Hua Mei, and Xiao Zhu chattered non-stop, and occasionally they would stand on the steps and stand on tiptoe to look out of the yard.

"Wow! There are a few more cases in the courtyard, tsk, tsk, how many guests have to come today! Xiaozhu jumped up excitedly, and his face was flushed.

"This courtyard is the seat of the talents, the main hall is the position of the adults, the masters, and the masters, and the side hall is the position of the women. But, where are they sitting Qilan? And the other ladies, are they also in the side hall? "Talk to Mei.

Si Qi smiled and said, "It's not!" They are not good women, so there is no need to hide. Don't you see the seats on the verandah? That's what they're for! ”

"Ah...... Over there, ...... "Xiaozhu and Huamei's faces turned even redder, they didn't know much about the wind and dust women, they didn't seem to understand, listening to Si Qi say this, they only felt that it was too embarrassing for the big girl to sit face-to-face with a man like that, so they blushed for no reason.

The three girls were excited, but Ying'er was standing alone on the other side, looking at her appearance, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was a little sullen.

Lu Zheng was lying on the recliner in the courtyard with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, his breathing was very even, his expression was as cute as a child, and the hustle and bustle outside the courtyard seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Shadow's gaze fell on Lu Zheng's face, originally she wanted to talk to Lu Zheng, but now what could she say?

Lu Zheng did not participate in the Mountain Viewing Poetry Meeting today, which is really inappropriate in her opinion.

The reputation of the reader is the most important, and the Mountain Poetry Club is a place where the reader becomes famous, even if he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, there is no reason to retreat.

After today, Lu Zheng was evaluated with the four words "shrinking turtle", how will he still study in Guanshan Academy in the future?

"Obviously a capable person, why do you have to avoid the poetry club? Don't you want to make a name for yourself? Don't you look forward to the day when you can come out? Shadow thought depressedly.

She was very disappointed with Lu Zheng's choice today, there was still a banquet in the Zhang family tonight, she was really worried about Lu Zheng now, she couldn't think of how Lu Zheng should properly handle the situation in front of her!

"Shadow, just listen to what you've been muttering, what's going on? Are you still letting me get a good rest? ”

"Ah......" Ying Er exclaimed, her face turned red, and her eyes fell on Lu Zheng again, only to find that Lu Zheng was not asleep at all.

Her heart beat violently a few times, and she twisted her head vigorously, making her petty.

"Oh, it's really a talented girl who participated in the poetry meeting, this temperament is unusual, what? Today's poetry meeting is a blockbuster, and now I feel like I'm serving a waste wood who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it? Lu Zheng teased.

Ying'er blushed and glared at Lu Zheng hard, pursed her lips and didn't make a sound.

Lu Zheng said again: "It seems that I have ...... right."

"You're talking nonsense!" The shadow didn't hold back after all, and three words popped out of her mouth: "Where have you been to such a grand poetry meeting today?" left quietly without squeaking, even Uncle Qi didn't know, he was so anxious! ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "What's the matter with my Dao, is it because I am angry about this?" Am I not afraid to disturb your interest? With such an important poetry meeting, it is not easy for the female dependents to have the opportunity to watch, but there are not many such opportunities for you! ”

"How? Shadow, did you look at any son at the poetry meeting today? Let's talk about it, let me taste one or two? ”

Shadow's face turned even redder and said, "If you say these unserious things again, I will ignore you!" ”

Lu Zheng laughed, for the first time, he thought that this girl was so cute.

The four girls in the yard, Si Qi and the other three girls are still young, and in addition, they have not studied and have not seen much of the world.

Shadow is different, Shadow has not only read, but also followed the old lady for many years, has seen a lot of things, has her own extraordinary temperament, she is with her peers, naturally stands out from the crowd.

But at this time, this little girl showed her true temperament, just like today's poetry meeting, she saw so many talented people chanting poems, and that kind of demeanor was really enviable.

The young ladies of the Zhang family like Zhang Baoyi, Zhang Xijun and others all belong to each other, and the only thought in Ying'er's heart at that time was that in such a famous place, if Lu Zheng could also chant a poem, be praised by the masters and sons, and be praised by Qilan, how good it would be.

She will feel that her face is very bright! Therefore, Lu Zheng did not participate in today's poetry meeting, and the regret in her heart can be imagined.

The master and servant fell into a delicate stalemate, and Shadow couldn't hold back at first, and said, "Have you thought about what to do with today's dinner?" ”

"Dinner?" Lu Zheng snorted coldly and said, "What does the dinner have to do with me?" I didn't attend the poetry meeting, so I didn't need to go to the banquet. Besides, I didn't see anyone send invitations over, so it was just right, I was happy and clean, and I could sleep well. ”

Ying'er's lips twitched, and she wanted to say that Lu Zheng wanted to be beautiful, but for some reason, seeing Lu Zheng's well-groomed and confident appearance, she couldn't say those words.

Lu Zheng's situation in the Zhang family can be said to be frightening step by step, but no matter what situation he encounters, no matter how many dangers he encounters, Lu Zheng can always turn evil into good fortune.

Compared with the dangers that Lu Zheng has experienced in the past, this little thing in front of him is not worth mentioning at all, where can it be considered a matter?

But Shadow couldn't help but worry and lose in her heart.

Look at other talents, they will always be so personable and talented. Why does Brother Zheng always look inconspicuous, and he even looks a little old-fashioned?

"Hee-hee!" A chuckle suddenly rang out.

As if stung by a wasp, Shadow stood up with a "Ah...... "Ahh

At the gate of the courtyard, Hua Hanyun leaned against the door, looking at Lu Zheng lying on the recliner with a smile and said:

"It's so lively outside, but Brother Zheng is so idle, Shadow, didn't I come at the right time? Look at your flustered, could it be that Brother Zheng bullied you just now? ”

Ying'er was so frightened that her face turned white, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no...... Not at all! ”

"Giggles!" Hua Hanyun covered her mouth and laughed, her eyebrows were full of ambiguity: "I didn't see it, the girls in the family are different from usual when they come to your brother Zheng'er, let's talk about the shadow girl!" I look prettier than before! ”

Hua Hanyun joked at the shadow, and Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Okay, second sister-in-law, sister-in-law secretly looks at the little uncle, can't you keep a low profile?" How boring is it to talk about things with a girl? ”

"Ying'er, you too, you just don't have eyesight, no wonder the second sister-in-law said you! When your sister-in-law comes, you should sneak away, otherwise where will your sister-in-law have the opportunity to talk to her brother-in-law in private? ”

Hua Hanyun took a sip of Lu Zheng, her face finally flushed, she hurriedly pulled the shadow with one hand and said, "Good girl, don't listen to your brother Zheng'er say crazy things, you will accompany me today, don't leave!" Good no good? ”

Hua Hanyun sat down on the chair while she spoke, and Ying Er was pulled by her and sat down together.

Lu Zheng slowly sat up from the chair and said, "Okay, then you can talk in private, and I'll go clean up for a while!" ”

Lu Zheng got up and left, Hua Hanyun was so angry that he only stomped his feet, and said: "Brother Zheng, don't be too complacent, you can't hide from today's dinner, you lost people when you turned around, and made a fool of yourself, don't blame my sister-in-law for not reminding you!" Hehe, look, tonight's battle is huge! ”

Lu Zheng paused and grinned, "How big is the battle?" Is it enough to fight such a big battle? ”

"Uh......" Hua Hanyun was choked up and couldn't answer, and after a long while, she stood up and said, "What are you full of?" Tell you, Brother Hao made a big splash at the poetry meeting today. Especially later, every poem he made is a masterpiece, and Guishan Chang personally commented on it, and the masters and scholars unanimously agreed that he was the leader today. Even Qilan, everyone is full of praise for Brother Hao! ”

Hua Hanyun pondered slightly, and continued: "So, today's dinner will not be anything else, it is just for Brother Hao'er!" Do you know who attends the dinner? I'd better not say it, so as not to scare you! ”

After Hua Hanyun finished speaking, she looked proud, she stared at Lu Zheng, as if she wanted to see Lu Zheng's face change, however, the result made her quite disappointed.

Lu Zheng's face didn't change, but his brows gradually wrinkled, and after a long time, he muttered: "Isn't it said that the poems are not as good as a bubble of pulled by others?" Why is it still brilliant again? ”

"Poof!" Hua Hanyun suffered a huge injury in an instant, and almost vomited blood. This "bubble of" stalk is really known to everyone, even people like Lu Zheng who don't listen to things outside the window know it.

I don't know why, Hua Hanyun heard Lu Zheng say "a bubble of", her face was quite ugly, but she felt very happy in her heart.

The current Zhang family is no longer the same as before, and the big house has completely lost ground. Look at this poetry meeting, the second master spends money like running water, and a poetry meeting costs more than 10,000 taels of silver, according to the second master's style, no matter how strong the Zhang family's family background is, sooner or later it will be lost.

After the poetry meeting, there was a banquet in the evening, and the pomp of the banquet was even bigger, Hua Hanyun took a look just now, and the tables and chairs arranged in the west courtyard were all just procured.

Zhang Haoran is young, and his fame has not been won like this, and when Zhang Haoran really wins the show and even the lifter, will he pay it back? The entire Zhang family is Zhang Haoran's, and the others may not even have a full meal.

Hua Hanyun thought so in his heart, but Lu Zheng didn't have time to talk to her, he turned around and walked into the study, leaving Hua Hanyun and Ying'er to stay in the yard and grit his teeth, but he was helpless.
