Chapter 178: Poetry and Gambling
……
After a while, Zuo Jian and Zuo Yuan said that they were sick and the other wanted to go to the school, and they both left.
Zhu Xin was hugged back by Mama Li, and under the reluctant gaze of the old lady Zuo, she returned to Tongyou Pavilion.
The rest of the people were only the two brothers Zuo Zhangheng and Xu Jingwen, who stayed in the room to talk to the old lady.
Mrs. Zuo took Aunt Shen back to her courtyard, Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Xu hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they went to talk, but she always had a melancholy face, I don't know if the shadow had not subsided last night.
Because the second lady and the Yang family were not there, Aunt Sun greeted the rest of the people like a housewife, smiling without eyes, and said that the little sisters should be closer to each other, and they should lead the young ladies to the back garden to enjoy the scenery.
Zuo Di rolled his eyes violently, the leader of the cold winter wax moon admired the scenery, and this person's brain circuit was also different from ordinary people.
She glanced at Xu Yan, who was eager to try and seemed to be very interested, and kept up with everyone's footsteps.
The flowers in the garden have withered, the leaves have fallen, fortunately, it has snowed for a few days before, but it can also be called the jade tree silver flower. Some plum blossoms are planted in the corners of the garden, which happen to be in full bloom at this time, and it is not without a view.
Although the girls' frozen noses were a little red, their interest was quite high, Zuo Di declined the hand stove handed to her by a raw maid with a face, Xu Yu smiled when she saw this: "Sister Di'er is really in good health, my hands are frozen when I hold the hand stove, you don't seem to be cold at all." ”
Zuo Di chuckled: "My sister has a good reputation, but she is young and angry." ”
Xu Wanwan smiled and said no more, and walked together with Zuo Yunyun to laugh.
Zuo Di eavesdropped on the conversation between Zuo Yunyun and Xu Yan, and found that it was just some old words and the little daughter's homely routine, and there was nothing special about it.
"Sister Girl, have you seen that pine tree? The last time you came, you wrote a poem on it. Zuo Punchline's voice sounded, and he seemed to be excited.
Xu Yu looked in the direction of her finger and nodded frequently: "No, I still remember." Then he said with a little regret, "It's a pity that it's covered by snow and I can't see it." ”
Zuo Miaoyu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he said: "It doesn't matter if you can't see that song, Sister Fu'er is a famous talented girl, look at this snowy scene, why don't you listen to it again?" So that Sister Di'er and Sister Yunyun also opened their eyes. ”
Xu Yu glanced at her, covered her mouth and said: "Just talk too much, Sister Di'er and Sister Yunyun are the daughters of Taifu, they must be talented, I don't dare to get an axe." ”
Zuo Diyan's face darkened when he heard this, Zuo Yunyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the reactions of the sisters were in stark contrast.
Zuo Di complained in his heart, it turns out that the ancients really had the disease of dying if they didn't write poetry, even women are vassals and elegant, and costume dramas don't deceive me.
Zuo Yunyun is ecstatic in her heart, she has done a good job in learning, but Zuo Di doesn't know anything about poetry except for painting, isn't it a good opportunity for her to be embarrassed?
Zuo, who has always been quiet, suddenly said: "I also think this is a good idea, why don't you just have one song per person, don't mention whether to offer ugliness or not, just play between sisters." ”
Since entering the garden, Zuo Xinran has been silently paying attention to everyone's movements. Last night, when she was embroidering scriptures late, she saw her mother returning to the yard in a panic, she had never seen her mother so flustered, and she was curious and sent wheat over to listen to the foot of the wall.
Mai only listened to a few words, and said that the eldest master and the sixth lady set a trap, and tried to slander Mrs. Lai but failed.
Zuo Xinran kept this matter in mind, and when he saw Zuo Di today, he felt that it was not pleasing to the eye.
I heard that the female doctor who treated her grandfather was also found by her outside, and she went out to find it, a dignified lady, who went out of the house at will like a man all day long, and mixed up with her father's affairs, which is really unethical.
After Xu Yan spoke, Zuo Xinran saw the reaction of Zuo Di and Zuo Yunyun, and guessed that Zuo Di was probably not good at poetry. So she took advantage of the situation, thinking that even if she was called to make a fool of herself, it would be good.
Zuo Miaoyu clapped his hands and laughed: "It's rare that Sister Xinran takes the initiative to propose, then it's decided, everyone has to make a poem, but you can't prevaricate!" ”
Aunt Sun was afraid of the cold, and kept sitting in the pavilion where the charcoal basin was laid, smiling and watching them play, extremely satisfied, and wanted to be this temporary housewife forever. I didn't pay attention to what was going on on their side.
Xu Yu has an indescribable feeling for Zuo Di, it seems that the concubine of the Zuo family's big house is a little jealous and a little defensive and alienated from herself, which is the first time she has always felt it.
Hearing everyone say this at this moment, and seeing Zuo Yunyun's face full of eagerness, and her desire to probe the bottom of Zuo Di, she smiled and said, "Okay, then it's decided." Each thought about the time of the incense, and after the incense, they recited it in turn, and asked the maid to write it down. ”
Zuo Dihu interjected: "Di'er is not good at poetry, and the sisters compete in poetry on their own, so Di'er doesn't participate." ”
Zuo Yuan pouted and muttered a few words: "If you don't participate, forget it, the four of us will play." She turned her head and asked her subordinates to prepare pen and ink, and said to Xu Yu with great interest: "Can you have a colorful head?" ”
Xu Wei heard that Zuo Di was not involved, smiled slightly, wiped off two red coral gold-rimmed earrings from her ears, spread them in the palm of her hand and said Zuo Witty:
"The birthday gift given by Brother Chu He will be taken out to make a color head." Zuo Di is unpredictable, but she can't understand Zuo Miaoyu's thoughts the most.
Zuo Miaoyu's face changed immediately, and he said angrily: "You are willing, the gifts he carefully selected for you can be given up as a lottery head," and then took off a bracelet from his wrist, "This is the white jade eight immortal bracelet given by my grandmother, and I bet on your pair of earrings." ”
Xu Wei smiled sweetly and harmlessly: "This bracelet is much more valuable than my earrings, do you really want to use it for betting?" If you lose, don't feel distressed and cry your nose. ”
Zuo Miaoyu stomped his feet: "Don't feel distressed, just bet on these earrings!" The maid named Dongyun beside her gently tugged on the sleeve of the master's shirt, and when she saw that the master ignored it, she had to give up.
Zuo Yunyun didn't know their rules, and said from the side: "You two bet against each other, so how should our lottery be calculated?" ”
Zuo Di heard Xu Yan say the words "Brother Chu He", and her pupils couldn't help shrinking, but fortunately, there was already the appearance of Xu Yan as a foreshadowing, and there was no obvious abnormality at this time.
Xu Yu pretended to ponder, and said to Zuo Miaoyu: "Well, it's not that I'm boasting, Sister Miaoyu will lose when she bets with me." If you beg Di'er's sister to participate, if she wins against me, you will win. ”
Zuo Yunyun remained silent, but there was an awkward feeling in his heart: Obviously I asked you, but you just want to take Zuo Di with you, could it be that the previous friendship was fake?
Zuo Xinran snorted coldly: "Forget it, people don't take us seriously, so why bother to be boring." ”
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Zuo Di's expression was faint, as if she hadn't heard Zuo Xinran's squeeze, although she didn't know why she was targeting herself everywhere, but with her actual age and vision, she was really not interested in arguing with a little girl's family.
At this time, she was more interested in Zuo Miaoyu's attitude towards the earrings, or rather, her attitude towards Ji Chuhe......
Zuo Miaoyu looked left and right and looked a little embarrassed, she had been to Qujing Garden a few times in the past few times, and she knew that this sixth sister was a very good idea, if she didn't want to, no one could help it.
"Sixth sister, you ...... Would you like ......" Zuo Yuyu stiffened his head and hesitated.
"The fourth sister really wants that pair of earrings?"
Unexpectedly, Zuo Di suddenly said: "If you really want it, then bet, Di'er participates." ”
