Hatsuzakura is very neat in doing things, and after a while, she summoned everyone to draw bamboo sticks. In front of everyone, there was a wide-mouth mahogany three-inlaid silver bottle, inserted with a bamboo stick prepared by Liu in advance, which was written nothing more than the words "dancing, singing, composing, and playing the piano", waiting for everyone to reach out and smoke. At the beginning, it was only three incense sticks, Wang Wan made a poem, and Zhang Xi'an, the sister of the general of Pingding, made a "peony picture of flowers and leaves and sea waves" on the spot, only to hear Sun Yihao praise: "This painting has the rhythm of flowers and leaves and waves, the flower body is graceful and luxurious, the ink color is not hindered, the technique is free, don't be pretty, and become a family." ”

Jiang's mother said to Liu: "Which family's son is this?" He looks so handsome! Opening your mouth is even more extraordinary! ”

Liu was also secretly satisfied, and said: "That's Sun Yihao of the infantry army to defend Sun Gongliang's family. I look at so many sons, he is the most outstanding! ”

Mother Jiang nodded approvingly, and said: "The appearance is good, the family is a little worse, but the Sun family has followed the Jiang family in a bloody battle on the battlefield, we know the roots, the Sun family is very strict in teaching, and the teaching is good, presumably the grandson is not far behind." How well do you read? ”

"Exactly, exactly. He also has two older brothers who are married, and when his little daughter-in-law does not come in, she will take care of the house. Although the lintel is worse than Jiangfu, but the appearance and conduct are one in a hundred, I heard that they are fifteen years old, and there is not even a girl in the room, so they only focus on books and homework. Besides, if you marry a little low, your in-laws don't dare to bully our girls. Liu Xizizi and Jiang's mother said.

Mother Jiang even narrowed her eyes with laughter, and said, "I will remember this, he has a sister named Shao Min, but?" Our sister Tao is cute and sticky to her, I like that sister when I see her, she is neat and bold, and she is hundreds of times stronger than some down-and-out small households. In this case, you should let Shao Min come to our house and walk around. ”

It will be the turn of the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, the girl of the Qi family, danced a dance, winning the applause of the whole house, and Chu Tao shook her head happily on the side, still eating something in her mouth. One would jump as high as he could, and the other would clap his hands for fun, ignoring Liu's black face Mancheng.

Liu's hatred of iron is not steel: "Look at our sister Tao, I don't understand the rules at all, and where did I get the melon seeds in my hand." I look at her virtue, it's not bad if you don't climb others! ”

Mother Jiang was confident and said, "I don't think so." ”

It turns out that Chu Tao and Shao Min are close friends in the boudoir, Shao Min's brother Sun Yihao inevitably heard some of Chu Tao's troubles, only felt that she was innocent, cute and delicate, today I saw a real person and fell under Chu Tao's pomegranate skirt, I am used to seeing arrogant and pretentious girls, but I am impressed by a girl with such a true temperament as Chu Tao, and for a while any different surname can not enter his eyes. Knowing that it was rude, the two were separated by a long distance, and the gaze still fell uncontrollably on Chu Tao's body.

Soon it was the turn of the first peach to draw lots, the first peach gritted his teeth, and put the bamboo sticks hidden in the sleeves back, touched one casually, and immediately drew a lottery up, and everyone took a look, and it said that he composed a poem. After seeing the words on it clearly, Chu Ju couldn't help but laugh out loud first.

Now Liu was dumbfounded, he gave her a skewer for dancing, how could she draw a bamboo skewer with poems written on it? Mother Jiang also turned around suspiciously and asked Liu with her eyes. Jiang's mother is not literate and can't taste poetry, but she knows that Chu Tao doesn't have the ability to compose poetry. a sentence of "red and smoky suspicious words", she said "the green fruit is about to rot when the rain falls"; The sentence "The sea is facing the dynasty and the dynasty is falling", she is completely ignorant of "hungry peaches eat and eat full", which makes people laugh off their big teeth.

Chu Tao was also secretly annoyed, what kind of bad luck did he have, he thought of singing a song and passed it perfunctorily, but who knew that he actually drew a poem! Let's bite the bullet, maybe I really want to become the No. 1 joke in Jinling, what should my children and grandchildren do if they hear it in the future? If you really make some shocking poems, you may faint the mother who has worked hard for her own sake. Chu Tao had to stiffen and said, "You all know, I don't work poetry books. Let's skip this round. ”

Where are the people willing to obey, shouting at Chu Tao "Laipi", Chu Tao had to smile and said: "I really can't write poetry, I'm just afraid of polluting your ears." In this way, I will punish myself with three cups first, let my second sister help me compose a poem, and give you a salute first. After speaking, he drank three cups in a row with his little face up, and a pair of jade earrings in the shape of leaves hanging on his ears shone brightly. Chu Tao was the master's family in the end, and he punished himself three times, and everyone was embarrassed not to be emotional, so they let Chu Tao go.

Chu Ying took over this hot potato, and it was also a dilemma, according to her usual level, she was afraid of stealing the limelight from Chu Tao, not to mention that her second aunt's face was longer than a horse. If you deal with a few sentences casually, it will be a shame for the Jiang family, Chu Ying is a smart person, so she had to read a poem that is not very brilliant but also said in the past: The rain is heavy over the thousands of mountains, and the flowers want to fly into the air. The peony is lonely and fragrant late, and the sunset Zhulan leans on the wind alone.

Everyone praised it, Liu's face softened a lot, and Chu Tao also breathed a sigh of relief and made a grimace at Chu Ying. Next, Sun Yihao also wrote a peony poem. That Sun Yihao's pair of Danfeng eyes are three points more beautiful than a woman, and a pair of lying silkworm eyebrows neutralize such a feminine atmosphere, with a wide forehead and a flat top, a straight nose and a square mouth, a lofty atmosphere, and a beautiful mind. Such a appearance attracted many maids to cover their mouths with handkerchiefs to peek at him.

Sun Yihao said: "I haven't read a few books, what the second lady of the Jiang family did before is already the peak, how dare I make an axe, I hope everyone doesn't laugh at me." ”

Jiang Chengjin knew that Sun Yihao had ink in his stomach, and he was so humble just to hold a handful of first cherry blossoms, he smiled and said: "Hurry up and do it quickly, where did you come from such a basket of nonsense." ”

Sun Yihao said: "The peach is not strong in the apricot day, and the leaf tent is red at the beginning." Xiaoyan is far away from the golden palm dew, and the twilight fragrance is deeply disturbed by the Yutang wind. After a thousand years of fame in Landu, you are good at singing and getting drunk. Like a dream, like a fairy, the twilight is green and empty. ”

Chu Tao was not interested in these words, and was sipping melon seeds on the side, when he suddenly heard Liu's cough, and was so frightened that he threw melon seeds and hurriedly praised: "Well written!" Sun Yihao smiled at Chu Tao and said, "Oh? Can you give advice, where is Sun's poem written? ”

Chu Tao muttered in her heart, why don't these people persevere, do I look like someone who can read poetry? I should really read the yellow calendar today before going out. Chu Tao smiled and said, "I can't say anything good, but I'm just a little sentimental when I hear it." I don't quite understand the words, but I can understand the meaning. ”

Sun Yihao said: "Mortal poetry begins with the choice of words and sentences, blindly seeking to rhyme neatly and neatly, but loses the essence of it. If the intention is there, you don't have to care about the words. In this way, the girl is also half of Sun's confidant. Chu Ying listened to Sun Yihao's words blankly, and then lowered her head and thought carefully.

Chu Tao was frightened by these words, he just talked a few words of nonsense, how could he become half of his confidant, so he said stupidly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Finally, the first orange was drawn, and a song to play the guzheng was drawn. Chu Ju has been practicing guzheng for ten years, which is her strong point. She greeted everyone slightly, and the maids immediately brought her golden silk nanmu piano, and Chu Ju sat down gracefully, revealing her slender white fingers, and thick calluses were faintly visible on the fingertips. Stroke the strings, condense and ponder, the sound of the piano is melodious and tactful in the flowers, like mountains and flowing water, flowing slowly, and the aftersound is lingering.

At the end of the song of Hatsuju, everyone let out a cry of amazement. It was getting late, and the carriages of several princes had already stopped outside the general's mansion waiting to return home, and Jiang's mother no longer kept it, so the banquet was over. In this exhibition, the first orange shined, but the first cherry blossom, which had always been the most outstanding, dimmed.

Back in the house, Sun Shaomin playfully asked her brother: "Brother, I see that the second lady of the Jiang family always peeks at you." ”

Sun Yihao said: "Hugh is nonsense. ”

Sun Shaomin asked: "Isn't the second lady of the Jiang family not in line with her brother's temperament?" is extremely beautiful, and reads poetry and books like his brother, and has similar interests. If you can tie the knot in the future, it is also excellent. ”

Sun Yihao said solemnly: "Who asked you to say these words?" Miss Jiang and I just met in Pingshui, and you pulled out so many unrealistic words, which is embarrassing for you to listen to? ”

Shao Min said aggrievedly: "You and I are brother and sister, why can't we even say these words." I look at Mrs. Cao and appreciate you a lot......"

Sun Yihao only said: "Don't mention this matter again, and don't go to my mother's side to chew the root of your tongue." I just need to say that the second lady of the Jiang family is too smart, which may not be a good thing. ”
