Xiao Qi took Hua Xi'er's hand, "Aunt Xi, you should also go to the poetry meeting, you are also very good at poetry, maybe you can win the eldest son of the prefect's family." ”

"It's a pity that we don't have any silver, Aunt Xi, wait a minute, I'll go to Zhu Shizi to borrow some silver."

Before Hua Xi'er could react, Xiao Qi had already walked into the house and saluted Zhu Yuan, "Shizi, I want to borrow some silver from you, and I will return it to you after the poetry meeting." ”

Zhu Yuan's expression was faint, "If you want to borrow silver, just tell me about the use of the silver first, and I can lend it to you if I think it's appropriate." ”

Xiao Qi smiled, "Lord Shizi, the poetry meeting in the house is about to start, I heard that in order to raise money for disaster relief, you can bet on the leader." ”

Zhu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Can you guarantee that you will win?" If I lose the money in the future, what will I pay back?? ”

"Zhu Shizi, rest assured, we will definitely win."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he ran outside the door and pulled Hua Xi'er in.

"Zhu Shizi, this is my aunt, she has never forgotten since she was a child, and she is also quite accomplished in poetry."

Hua Xi'er stood straight in the room, Xiao Qi said her so well, she couldn't tear down Xiao Qi's platform.

Zhu Shizi had heard of someone he had never forgotten, but he had never seen it.

So he took a book and handed it to Hua Xi'er, "You read the eighteenth chapter, and then try to memorize it, if you really remember it, I will lend you two hundred taels of silver." ”

Hua Xi'er took the book and saw that the title of the book was "The Mean", which I had read before.

Originally, she thought that Zhu Shizi was going to take the poetry test, but she didn't expect her to endorse it, which was difficult for her, as Xiao Qi said, she really never forgot it.

Hua Xi'er finished reading the eighteenth chapter with one glance and ten lines, and then began to recite -

Zi said: "The one who has no worries is the only king." With Wang Ji as his father and King Wu as his son. The Father did it, and the Son told it. King Wu, King Zhang, Wang Ji, and King Wen. Yirong clothes and the world, without losing the world's fame. Honored as a ......

Hua Xi'er memorized the eighteenth chapter fluently.

Xiao Qi raised his chin and looked proud, "How about it, I like my aunt is amazing." ”

Zhu Yuan was a little incredulous, and said, "You can look at Chapter 28 again and recite it." ”

Hua Xi'er glanced at the ten lines again, and then began to recite -

Zi said: "Foolish and good for self-use, cheap and good for self-authoritarianism, born in the present world, against the ancient way." In this way, so is the calamity and the body. "If you are not the Son of Heaven, you don't discuss etiquette, you don't have a system, you don't study literature. Get off the same track today, book ......

Zhu Yuan's heart was turbulent, he didn't expect that there were really people in this world who would never forget, and today he saw it.

Zhu Yuan's face was still calm, "Ah Si, take out two hundred taels of silver tickets and give them to Miss Xiaoqi." ”

Xiao Qi took the two silver tickets and pulled Hua Xi'er out of the house.

After Xiao Qi and the two left, Zhu Yuan said: "Ah San, Ah Si, let's go and have fun." ”

Ah San Ah Si said in unison: "Yes, I respectfully respect the orders of the prince." ”

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er walked to the side of the small pavilion on the west side of the courtyard, where there were two rows of bookcases, and there were men and women on the side of the bookcase, and they were working hard to write.

"It seems that there is no distinction between men and women," Xiao Qi muttered in a low voice, and then asked the little guy standing next to him loudly, "The game has started?" Can I still bet now? ”

Because the sound is so loud, it attracts many people to look at it.

Xiao Wu nodded, "You can still bet, Master Qin of Mingyue Academy asked everyone to write a poem with the theme of plum blossoms, limited to one pillar of incense." ”

Xiao Qi hurriedly looked at the pillar of incense inserted in the altar, which had already burned half of it, and it seemed that he had to hurry up.

She took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver and handed it to the little maid, pointed to Hua Xi'er who was standing next to her, and said, "I'll vote for her leader." ”

The little maid's face was embarrassed, "Girl, there is no book case now." ”

A girl sneered: "It's really beyond my power to be the leader like this." ”

Zhu Yuan came over from behind and instructed the little servant: "Add a bookcase to her." ”

The little guy knew Zhu Shizi, and the prefect once told everyone in the house that if the prince had instructions, he must try his best to meet them.

So the little guy replied yes and was about to turn around and leave to move the table.

Hua Xi'er said: "No need, the boy next to me is about to finish writing, I'll just borrow this table and use it." ”

The table that Hua Xi'er pointed to was the one that Mu Ziyun, the eldest son of the prefect's family, was using.

Zhu Yuan glanced at Xiao Qi with a smile, "I will also bet on the remaining one hundred taels to win, and I will bet on you to win Aunt Xi." ”

"The prince is really wise." Xiao Qi handed another silver ticket of one hundred taels to Xiao Wei.

When all the young ladies next to them heard the word Shizi, they all looked in the direction of Zhu Shizi.

Miss Feng Ba glanced at Shizi, and then at Mu Zichen, the second young master of the prefect's family, Mu Zichen is still good-looking, but unfortunately Mu Zichen did not participate in the competition this time, otherwise she would have bet on Mu Zichen to win.

The rules of this bet are very simple, all the money from the bet is pooled together, and the first place bet is paid according to the share.

After Mu Ziyun finished writing, he handed the paper to the little guy, and the little guy immediately took it to Master Qin.

Hua Xi'er saw Mu Ziyun get up, and immediately went to Mu Ziyun's table and snatched the pen from Mu Ziyun's hand, "I'm sorry, borrow it." ”

Hua Xi'er sat at the table and began to write.

Mu Ziyun was robbed of the brush, stood aside in a daze, and was taken aback when he saw Hua Xi'er's handwriting, he didn't expect the words written by this girl to be so good-looking.

After Lu Qingqing met Master Mu in the pen and ink shop a few months ago, she secretly agreed.

Seeing that a woman actually snatched the pen of Master Mu, she immediately snorted coldly, "Where did you come from, there is no politeness at all." ”

The maid in green clothes behind Lu Qingqing stood up, "Miss, do you want me to clean her up." ”

This maid is proud of her martial arts, and she is very arrogant.

Lu Qingqing said in a low voice: "Be careful, don't show flaws." ”

The green-clothed maid nodded, reached out and broke a short dead branch from the tree, and threw it out vigorously.

The short branch flew towards the inkstone on Hua Xi'er's desk.

If the branch hits the inkstone, the paper under Hua Xi'er's pen will definitely be spent, and there may be a lot of ink on her face.

Xiao Qi moved two steps lightly, took the short branch and threw it back, the sleeve of the green maid ring was swept by the short branch that was beaten back, and it broke a big piece with a bang, and half of the snow-white arm was immediately exposed in front of everyone.

This movement drew a lot of laughter from the maids.

Lu Qingqing felt very embarrassed, so she said to the green-clothed girl: "Shame on the dead, call Xiaocao over to serve me, you go home first." ”

The green-clothed maid found Lu Qingqing's other maid Xiaocao, and immediately turned around after exchanging clothes with Xiaocao.

Lu Qingqing glanced at the green-clothed maid with disgust, "Didn't you let you go home first?" Why haven't you left yet? ”

The green-clothed maid, "Miss, I've already changed my clothes." ”

At this time, Hua Xi'er had already finished writing the poem and handed it in.

Xiao Qi has high expectations for this, she has admired Hua Xi'er's learning ability since she was a child, and feels that Hua Xi'er is the smartest one among the people she knows.

After a pillar of incense was burned, several teachers from Mingyue Academy gathered the poems and essays for evaluation.

Miss Feng Ba took Yahuan to Mu Zishan's side, "Second Master Mu, who do you think will be the leader in this poetry competition?" ”

Mu Ziqi smiled: "Of course it's my eldest brother, I bet on my eldest brother to win." ”

With a face as white as jade, a high nose bridge, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his crooked eyes overflowing with stars, I have to say that Mu Ziqi's smile is really magical.

Xiao Qi stood aside and looked dumbfounded, Hua Xi'er raised her hand and shook it in front of Xiao Qi's eyes, "You are stupid when you see beauty, how can you do this?" ”

Xiao Qi came back to his senses, "Eh, Aunt Xi, are you sure about this poetry competition?" ”

Hua Xi'er nodded, "I'm sure-"

Xiao Qi: "That's good." ”

Hua Xi'er is not shocking and endless, "I am sure to lose ......"

Xiao Qi couldn't believe it, "Aunt Xi, how can you do this?" ”

Hua Xi'er stuck to Xiao Qi's ear and said, "Don't worry, I'll put some bait out first, and I can catch a big fish when I throw a pot and shoot arrows." ”
