Su Man had participated in such poetry meetings many times before, but I heard Lin Xuan say that many girls wrote in advance, and then asked the gentleman at home to help polish them, so they dared to get the poetry meeting.

Lin Xuan was a little unimpressed when she said this, in her opinion, this is no different from cheating.

Of course, the Lin family is also a military general, and the ink in Lin Xuan's stomach is not much more than Su Manlai.

Su Man didn't have any special opinion on this kind of advance preparation, after all, even if she was asked to prepare for a year in advance, she wouldn't be able to write anything decent.

In the past, this kind of poetry meeting was held by a girl from a certain Wenchen's family, and Su Man and Lin Xuan, a few girls from the noble family, even if they went, they sat on the sidelines, and they didn't go to the place where they wrote poems at all.

But now this is a poetry meeting held by Lin Xuan, if he hides far away, it seems that it is not good.

So she could only stand by the table with her head stiff and her eyes stiff.

Shu Qiao sat alone in the corner, eating the fruit on the table with his head held high, but he didn't even look at the group of little girls gathered together.

Xu is Lin Xuan was also a little bored when she saw it, so she smiled and beckoned a few girls who were quite interested to take care of herself, and pulled Su Man, who was already delirious, to sit on the other side.

"I thought Shu Qiao wouldn't come today, last time Lu Wu called her so faceless, she had such a temperament, she had to hide in the room and cry for three or five days, I didn't expect to come today."

Su Man's head was wooden, his eyes were stiff, and it took him a while to react to what Lin Xuan said.

She raised her hand and rubbed her neck, and with this action, she inadvertently looked at Shu Qiao in the corner, closed her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "The legs are on other people's bodies, since you have made a post, of course people can come." ”

Lin Xuan looked at Su Man's somewhat funny appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought you wouldn't be here today, the day of welcoming you is getting closer and closer, I thought the old lady would detain you in the house and not let you go out." ”

Su Man listened to the bitter look on his face: "I really told you that my grandmother really didn't plan to let me go out, but fortunately you sent the girl over yesterday, and my grandmother felt that it was not good not to come, so she called me out." ”

Lin Xuan covered her mouth and chuckled: "This attention is still given to me by the sixth cousin, she said that your family affairs are approaching, and the family must be strict, so I sent a girl over to remind you a day in advance, so that the old lady can't help but call you here for the sake of my face." ”

Su Man turned his head to look at Miss Wei Liu, but saw that she was also walking over to the two of them without interest.

"You two are hiding here and whispering, and you don't even call me."

Lin Xuan still covered her mouth and smiled: "I see that my cousin is so serious, and my cousin has suddenly become interested in poetry," she said, spreading her hands, "The two of us can't say half a sentence of poetry, but we don't dare to disturb my cousin's interest." ”

Miss Wei Liu glanced at Lin Xuan, sat on the other side of Su Man, and hummed: "Don't tease me with these words, none of us is stronger than the other, and no one will say anything." ”

Su Man couldn't help but giggle: "Speaking of which, the day I received Sister Xuan's post, the whole person was blindsided, why did Sister Xuan even have a poetry meeting, is it because the tea is not delicious, or the fruit is not delicious?" ”

Miss Wei Liu also echoed her and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, she told me that day that she wanted to hold a poetry party, I thought so too, you said that you would hold a flower party and a tea party, everyone sat together and talked lively, isn't it good, you have to make a poetry meeting, it's really incomprehensible." ”

Lin Xuan also looked helpless: "You two don't laugh at me anymore, you and I are willing to hold this poetry meeting, I usually go to their poetry meeting, and listening to their literary crepe talk is enough to suffer, now it's okay, I have to invite them back one by one to drop the bookbag, I think about it, it's just two big heads." ”

Su Man and Miss Wei Liu glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Lin Xuan: "So, what did you mean by Mrs. Hou that you held this poetry meeting?" ”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't my mother." Lin Xuan sighed, "Originally, my fifth brother said that he wanted to start a business first and then start a family, my mother was not in a hurry when she saw that your brother was so old, and she was not in a hurry, but who knows, your brother suddenly came out and made a baby kiss with you, and my mother couldn't sit still now, and urged my fifth brother all day long, telling him to get married quickly." ”

Su Man grew his mouth in surprise: "Does this matter still have anything to do with our family?" ”

Lin Xuan also felt a little difficult to speak: "Who said no, my fifth brother is eighteen years old this year, and the son-in-law of other people's sons is afraid that he has children at this age, and my mother is naturally anxious, so my third brother will talk about Lu Gongzi." ”

Su Man raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What did the fifth prince say? ”

"What else can I say, Hu Tianhai's nonsense." Lin Xuan felt ashamed when she thought of her third brother's serious nonsense. She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her forehead, and said helplessly: "The reason why Lu Gongzi can be a member of the fourth grade at a young age is not only because Lu Gongzi has good knowledge and good articles, but more importantly, Lu Gongzi is not burdened by his family and can devote himself to the court." ”

Su Man couldn't help but pout when he heard this: "His idea is quite modern." ”

Although Lin Xuan didn't hear what Su Man said, this did not prevent her from continuing to complain about her brother: "Didn't you see it, when he said this, his expression was extremely serious, and even I almost believed his nonsense." ”

"So what?" Miss Wei Liu seemed to have heard some doorways, looked at Lin Xuan with some amusement, and continued to ask.

"What else can I do, so when my mother heard that Lu Gongzi had made a marriage with Sister Man'er early, she realized that the fifth brother's words were all perfunctory to her."

"So Mrs. Hou asked you to hold a few more poetry meetings or something, get in touch with the girls from various families, and then choose one to be your daughter-in-law?" Su Man was simply overjoyed, covering his mouth and giggling.

Lin Xuan was also very helpless: "It's really not up to me to say this, my mother has spoken, and I can only do it." She reached out and grabbed the hands of Su Man and Miss Wei Liu, "So, such gatherings may be indispensable in the future, so you just take pity on me and come to talk to me more." ”

"But I didn't see Mrs. Hou today." Su Man raised his head and looked around, the doors and windows of this water pavilion were open, and there were lush trees all around, if anyone came, even if he couldn't see clearly, he could hear some sounds.

"She's sitting in the gazebo over there, watching for herself."
