I wanted to give Liu Jiaojiao a memorable dismount, but who expected that she would be angry enough, and the princess of the county no longer wanted to look at this annoying girl, and arranged for her to send them to the garden where the poetry meeting was held on the grounds that she also had to receive other women's relatives.

After the subordinates of the county prince's mansion led them to the seats arranged in the garden and left, the Cui family could finally stop laughing, and after sneering, he raised his hand and gently poked Liu Jiaojiao's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You cunning little girl, the princess of the county is afraid that she will be angry with you!" ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied with a slightly mischievous smile, pretending to be innocent: "The words are her first, I just follow her meaning to reply, I like to think too much, blame me?" ”

"You, thanks to your grandfather, they are still worried that you will suffer, and they have told me to protect you, and now it seems that we are worried in vain!"

"Although I definitely won't let myself suffer, but with you, the eldest aunt, the Dinghai God Needle, I can deal with those ill-intentioned people with peace of mind!"

"Dinghaishen Needle? Hehe, this is an analogy...... It seems that Jiaojiao, you are preparing to make trouble today? ”

Liu Jiaojiao didn't reply directly, but looked around, looked at the various glances cast by those female dependents, either explicitly or secretly, and said with a smile: "I really don't want to cause trouble, but since everything has come to the door, then don't blame me for making a fuss, you have to fulfill them, right?" ”

Cui Shi swept around her gaze, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a soft but firm tone: "Let it go, there is the entire Xie family behind you!" ”

She is also extremely uncomfortable in her heart, if Liu Jiaojiao hadn't made the first move, she would have taken the words back, as an elder, or a dignified county prince's mansion, she was so cautious, she didn't have any tolerance for the younger generation, did she live to be a dog?

She also took in the malicious glances cast by the ladies of other provinces around, and wanted to see the jokes of the Xie family and Liu Jiaojiao? Hehe, is it that easy?

There is still some time before the start of the poetry meeting, and the ladies of each family have their own relationships that are better and familiar, and they are chatting quietly next to each other at the moment.

If it was Xie Mansion before the accident, someone would have surrounded them to say hello, but now Xie Mansion is obviously in an embarrassing position, so everyone deliberately hid far away, as if they were afraid of being involved with them.

Liu Jiaojiao didn't like this kind of communication occasion with hypocrisy and snobbery, and Cui's was even more experienced and had long been downplayed, and she wouldn't care about these people's high and low, so the two of them sat and chatted by themselves, laughing and laughing, without the slightest embarrassment and grievance after being deliberately isolated.

At this moment, the princess of the county, who had changed into a more luxurious dress, was surrounded by people and came to the garden, and the ladies of all families hurriedly got up and saluted, and Cui and Liu Jiaojiao were no exception.

"You don't need to be polite, sit down, today's daughters of each family are the highlight, and the concubine doesn't want to steal the limelight." The princess sat behind the throne and said with a smile.

Liu Jiaojiao took advantage of the bow to hide the sarcasm in her eyes, this princess of the county is really an acting school, if she hadn't seen the other side of her, just based on her current tone, maybe she would really think she was amiable.

The poetry meeting will officially start soon, and I don't know if it was deliberately done by the princess of the county, or if the judges changed the rules, and did not let the organizer write the same poem as in the previous year, but let the daughters of each family solve the problem on their own in the form of a relay.

That is, as the organizer of the princess of the county at will, a topic, and then name, the named person writes a poem that meets her topic, and then continues to write a question, and then names a person, and so on, if you can't answer, you will be eliminated, and the person who will answer the question will choose another person to answer the question, until in the end there is only one person left, and that person is the leader of today's poetry club.

After listening to the rules of the poetry club, Cui Shi whispered to Liu Jiaojiao with some concern: "Why do I think this is coming for you?" I'm afraid we can't cope with the poems we prepared. ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied softly without care: "Auntie, it's okay, I'm not interested in this leader, I can't answer if I can't answer, they will speak ugly at most, what else can they do with me?" ”

Originally, she didn't want to set up a talented woman for herself, counting those talented women in ancient and modern times, how many of them can get a good death? In a society where men are inferior to women, women's lack of talent is actually a kind of self-protection.

The princess of the county, who was sitting on the main seat, had actually been quietly paying attention to them, and when she saw them talking in a whisper, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "All the young ladies should be ready, right?" Then the concubine will throw bricks and lead the jade first, the weather is good today, the wind is beautiful, so let's take this as the theme. After looking around, she looked at the table opposite Liu Jiaojiao, "It is said that Miss Cen is talented, so let Miss Cen come first!" ”

Miss Cen, who was named, got up slowly, first saluted the princess of the county, and then said with a smile: "It is rare for the princess of the county to appreciate, and the courtiers should do their best." Looking up at the sky, after a moment of silence, he chanted a song of five rules, although the words are a little straightforward, but it can be regarded as a response to the question, as a boudoir woman, it is already very good.

After chanting the poem, she glanced at everyone, her eyes fell on the table diagonally opposite, a chuckle rose at the corner of her mouth, and said: "The flowers in the garden of the princess of the county are blooming very well, so the courtiers will take the peony that blooms the most beautifully as the theme, and ask Miss Wu to give advice." ”

Miss Wu, who was named, immediately got up, seemed to have a good relationship with this Miss Cen, and after looking at her with disgust, she began to answer the question.

After a few people in a row, no one called Liu Jiaojiao's name, but Cui's didn't feel relaxed at all, but became more and more nervous, holding Liu Jiaojiao's hand under the case, and his eyes looked vigilantly at the daughter of a certain family who was answering the question.

Liu Jiaojiao understood Cui's worries, and patted her hand with her other hand without a trace, and whispered comfortingly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, auntie, don't be nervous." ”

Cui Shi understands the reason, but how can she not be nervous? She knows that Liu Jiaojiao is smart, but poetry and poetry have been all since elementary school, and she has lived in that kind of remote and isolated mountain village for many years, Liu Jiaojiao is a girl, how can the Liu family let her learn this?

She wasn't afraid that Liu Jiaojiao wouldn't be able to answer for a while, and it was nothing if the boudoir woman didn't understand poetry, but she was afraid that the princess of the county would do something, and she might use some means to deliberately humiliate her for a while, which was the most hurtful.

As the saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you want to come, at this moment, Liu Jiaojiao was named, and the person who named her was still an acquaintance, it was Sun Jizong's daughter Sun Qiao.

I saw Sun Qiao raise his head slightly, look at Liu Jiaojiao with a sneer, and said loudly: "Why didn't Miss Xu get up for a long time?" Do you look down on me, or do you look down on the poetry club? ”

This hat is a bit too big, which is equivalent to offending everyone present, including the specially invited Confucian judges.

Cui Shi just wanted to defend her for a few words, but Liu Jiaojiao shook her head slightly, and then Shi Shiran stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Sun's words are serious, the little woman was just distracted by Miss Sun's beautiful voice, so she reacted a little slower." ”

There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, even if Sun Qiao deliberately wanted to find Liu Jiaojiao's stubble, hearing her praise her beautiful voice, she still blushed a little, and her tone couldn't help but slow down a little, but she still looked high, "Is this the case?" Then Miss Ben won't bother with you, you can answer the question first! ”

Liu Jiaojiao frowned in embarrassment, and said, "The little woman just listened to your voice attentively, and didn't notice what the topic was, I wonder if Miss Sun can repeat it?" ”

"Miss Ben's voice is really that beautiful?"

"Really, the little woman came to the capital since she called, and she couldn't sleep well for a long time, and then the maid deliberately found a thing, relying on its sound every night, the little woman can sleep peacefully, Miss Sun's voice can be said to be better than it."

Sun Qiao asked in surprise and curiosity, "What is it?" Zheng or Xiao? ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied with a smile: "It's not a musical instrument, it's a frog." As she spoke, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "Miss Sun must also know that for some reason, the little girl grew up in the mountains, and she has long been accustomed to the croaking of frogs on summer nights, and she can't really sleep if she can't hear it." ”

"Poof...... I don't know which lady couldn't hold back her laughter, and then it attracted a lot of laughter.

Sun Qiao was so angry that her whole body trembled, she raised her hand and pointed at Liu Jiaojiao, and said angrily: "You cheap girl, you dare to compare Miss Ben's voice with that kind of thing!" Miss Ben...... Miss Ben is going to tear your mouth! ”

This is the scene of the poetry meeting, where can anyone fight? The maid next to her immediately grabbed her and tried her best to persuade her, and Pang Zi also got up and coaxed her repeatedly, not forgetting to cast angry eyes at Liu Jiaojiao.

The people of the Xie family are really not good people, that Xie Pingyu caused her master to be imprisoned, and this dead girl came to bully her daughter again, it was so bad that she was home!

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, the princess of the county hurriedly coughed twice to pull back everyone's attention, then looked at Liu Jiaojiao, and said sharply: "Miss Xu, if you don't want to answer the question and give up, why do you want to hurt people?" Could it be that as Miss Sun said, don't you look down on this poetry club? ”

Liu Jiaojiao smiled and saluted her, and then said, "How could the little woman ever hurt someone? Obviously praising Miss Sun. ”

"You said her voice was as good as the croaking of frogs, isn't that hurting?"

"Of course not, for farmers, the croaking of frogs on a summer night is the best sound, better than any musical instrument in the world, if the princess of the county does not believe it, she can find a few farmers to ask."

"Ridiculous! How can that vulgar cry compare to an instrument? This concubine looks at you and you are arguing with words! ”

Liu Jiaojiao smiled again, put her hands behind her back, and said loudly: "The bright moon is not a branch, and the breeze is singing cicadas in the middle of the night." The fragrance of rice flowers says that there is a good year, and the sound of frogs is heard. Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain. In the old days, at the edge of the forest of the Maodian Society, the road turned to the river bridge and suddenly saw it. ”

Suddenly, the audience fell silent.

As soon as this unheard of word came out, it not only successfully justified the frog's croaking, but also answered the question that Sun Qiao had specially come up with to embarrass her - a summer night with stars but rain.
