There are at least a thousand kinds of autumn chrysanthemums placed in this courtyard, and the colors are rich and varied, or white as plain, or yellow and elegant, or red as fire, or purple as noble.

Not only that, the form of those chrysanthemums also has its own style, and the posture is very peculiar, floating like floating clouds, like a dragon.

The first time Qiao Wan'er saw so many precious chrysanthemums, there were inevitably some surprises between her expressions, thinking about reciting two lines of poetry to cultivate her sentiments, but she always couldn't remember, she only remembered Tao Yuanming, who she learned in high school, and his sentence "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan." ”

But when I read it out, it seems a little too embarrassing.

However, when it is so good to show off the literary talent, it is a pity that you really can't think of a single poem.

Qiao Wan'er looked at a golden place, racked her brains and finally thought of a sentence, "Dark and faint purple, melting and smelting yellow, Tao Ling fence house, Luo She house is fragrant." ”

When she read it, Qiao Shu'er listened carefully, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, and then only a face of approval remained.

July was very exaggerated, obviously he didn't understand, but it was because he didn't know that he felt that his wife was more powerful.

Cheng Xinlan naturally heard what Qiao Wan'er was doing, but she pretended not to hear clearly, she didn't want to admit that Qiao Wan'er was very powerful.

Several literati and writers who were composing poems next to him listened to Qiao Wan'er's poems, and immediately quieted down, and several people's eyes turned to Qiao Wan'er, with deep thought, respect, and worship.

After seeing that Qiao Wan'er was a beauty, her eyes suddenly shone brightly, Cheng Xinlan hated the most about the kind of light about love from the heart, she didn't want to admit that Qiao Wan'er was better looking than her, but from the eyes of these men, she already knew that this was an indisputable fact, she seemed to be really inferior to Qiao Wan'er in terms of appearance.

But even if she knew this, she wouldn't admit it, Cheng Xinlan thought that people couldn't go far by relying on beauty, and she not only had beauty, but also means.

"It's really a good poem, the words are elegant, but the beauty and elegance of this chrysanthemum are expressed, Madame is a generation of talented women." One of the men dressed in purple shook his fan, collected the blazing light in his eyes, and said respectfully.

The rest of the people also responded one after another, yes, yes, I really can't imagine that there are such talented women.

Can it be bad, this is a poem by the great poet Li Shangyin, just kidding. Qiao Wan'er smiled secretly in her heart, these 13 pretended to be happy.

Qiao Wan'er smiled shyly, with a faint flush on her face, which made Qiao Wan'er stand out in the crowd. The men couldn't take their eyes off it.

Cheng Xinlan was already angry and scolding her mother, is this her family, why did she let Qiao Wan'er steal the limelight again, obviously she got up two hours earlier than usual today, dressed up, and chose clothes and skirts, but as soon as Qiao Wan'er appeared, her demeanor suddenly eclipsed.

But on the surface, she still had to follow the flattery, "I don't know what kind of poem my sister just recited, why don't you read it again and let my sister learn to learn?" ”

Qiao Shu'er saw Cheng Xinlan's sincere appearance, and asked Qiao Wan'er to read Fang Cai's poem again.

But Qiao Wan'er is transparent, Cheng Xinlan's tone of voice is obviously extremely hypocritical, and Cheng Xinlan has already scolded her in her heart.

Qiao Wan'er honestly read it again. Since Cheng Xinlan wants to act, she can only accompany her.

After walking for a long time, and having to accompany the acting, Qiao Wan'er had already felt that her stomach was empty and hungry, but everyone was very interested in enjoying the flowers, and they didn't seem to need to eat.

Cheng De brought Cheng Xinlan's mother Zhang out, and the two walked one after the other, with a bright smile like Qiu Ju on their faces. When everyone saw them coming, they stepped forward to thank them for their warm invitation, and it was really a blessing to see these many precious chrysanthemums.

It is true that these chrysanthemums can cost Cheng De a lot of silver. It was transported from all over the country by water and land.

Qiao Wan'er and Zhang's glanced at each other, she saw that something was wrong, so she didn't dare to look at Zhang's anymore.

After all, she is the one who delays her daughter's happiness, and she doesn't think that the Zhang family will treat her well.

Seeing Qiao Wan'er dodging like this, the Zhang family was sure of something in her heart, sure enough, Zhou Yu was so determined not to marry her own daughter, it must be that the Qiao family was behind the ghost, otherwise why would she Qiao Wan'er avoid her gaze.

However, from another point of view, Qiao Wan'er helped her. The Zhang family was unwilling to marry their daughter to someone else's family as a concubine.

A concubine, to turn over, is not easy to say.

Cheng De told her the story of Qiao Wan'er killing the maid, Zhang still remembers it in his heart, falling into the hands of such a jealous wife, Cheng Xinlan has the means, and she is afraid that she can't use it.

Thinking of this, Zhang thought that he still had to go forward to say hello warmly.

"The two ladies are really a hundred times more beautiful than my flowers today. Come with me to the main hall, eat some fruit and pastry, and it's time to eat later. ”

Zhang's strength lies in the fact that he has been acting for half his life, and his acting skills are quite good.

The two sisters were really infected by Zhang's warm smile, maybe they hadn't seen their family for a long time, Qiao Shuer actually felt that there was a moment when she saw her mother.

Therefore, Qiao Shu'er also showed a well-behaved look, smiled quietly at Zhang's family, and said: "Mrs. Cheng is so enthusiastic, my sister and I are really scared, and I really dare not take it." Madame goes first, and we follow. ”

"No need, mother, you and Dad will go first. In a while, I will take my two sisters with me, and I will definitely not miss the opening table. ”

Cheng Xinlan jumped out, her expression was a little flustered, and the tip of her nose was sweating a little, probably because she was in a hurry, but she could still see that she didn't want Qiao Wan'er and them to pass so early.

Zhang reached out to hold Cheng Xinlan's hand, put it in her palm and patted it gently, while saying, "Then you have to take good care of the two sisters." While giving Cheng Xinlan a look of "be honest, don't mess around".

Cheng Xinlan didn't seriously appreciate Zhang's eyes, she pulled out the hand that Zhang's hand was holding, and went to hold Qiao Shu'er's arm again.

"Let's go, there's chrysanthemums over there. There is a green one, which is beautiful. ”

Zhang can only follow her.

Qiao Wan'er bent down and politely said goodbye to Zhang.

Zhang's heart was stunned, this kid is quite knowledgeable, compared to Cheng Xinlan, this is still good, but Zhang's eyes only have her daughter, so she forgot that Qiao Wan'er was a little good.

Cheng Xinlan led them to look at all the chrysanthemums, and then she took them to the main hall to prepare for dinner.

Before entering, Cheng Xinlan instructed Ruyi to prepare a few plates of fresh fruits and pastries, put them in two good seats, and wait for them.

Ruyi trotted all the way over first.

After entering the main hall, Cheng Xinlan had to lead the two to two side by side seats, but Qiao Wan'er felt that it was too conspicuous and didn't want to go, Cheng Xinlan refused to do so, and she didn't want to sit in the seat she chose.

Qiao Wan'er was shocked, what did she want to do, why did she have to go according to her Cheng Xinlan's arrangement.

There must be ghosts. So Qiao Wan'er ignored Cheng Xinlan's "enthusiasm" and directly said that she liked the location by the door, which was ventilated and comfortable......

Then he sat down.

She noticed that Cheng Xinlan's face darkened slightly, and she guessed in her heart, presumably because she didn't sit in the seat she arranged, which disrupted some of her plans.

However, what is Cheng Xinlan's plan...... Could it be that she still wants to hurt her? You won't be so lacking in heart, will you...... This is Cheng Fu...... Qiao Wan'er comforted herself, thinking that it would be better to eat something for a while, and then go back to the general's mansion to stay after eating and drinking, so safe......
