Chapter 159: Going to the Banquet (Part II)

The maid was a little aggrieved, and I didn't know why the lady would scold her.

However, she knew that their lady's temper was changeable, so she quietly stepped back and did not dare to say anything more.

The lady on the side was already stunned by her at this time, and she didn't expect her to fight back like this.

For a moment, the atmosphere was even more silent.

However, she vaguely felt the ladies looking at her as if they were looking at her, and they were secretly looking at her.

She was actually a little apprehensive in her heart, but she still looked very calm on the surface.

This time, those ladies will not underestimate her.

However, she knew her own affairs, her palms were already a little sweaty, and suddenly, she felt a small hand holding her sweaty hand.

She looked down and saw that it was Niannian!

Seeing Niannian's eyes looking at her, there was encouragement and attachment in it, of course, this was her own feeling.

However, it is precisely because of these that her heart slowly settled down and she was no longer so worried.

She thought to herself: Maybe this is the mother-daughter connection!

Then, she secretly inhaled again, looked up at the people around her, and when she saw that no one was talking, she lowered her head and played with Niannian's little hand again.

When she looked up just now, she also noticed something, and she saw that some people were also vaguely paying attention to the situation of Mrs. Zhao.

However, none of this is her business, and she doesn't care about it.

In the end, it was Mrs. Hu who said, "Okay, okay, now that everyone knows each other, let's play something else." ”

Hearing Mrs. Hu's words, Mrs. Zhao began to speak again: "Yes, why don't we play something else, how about we come to chant and make poems?" ”

She lifted her head up at her words, and then she saw that several of the ladies in the hall were frowning, and she knew that this proposal was not approved by everyone.

Because even the prefect's wife, Mrs. Hu, frowned a little, she knew that not everyone here had a good background.

Just as Mrs. Hu was about to say something, at this time, a lady next to Mrs. Zhao chimed in: "I think Mrs. Zhao's suggestion is good, I agree." ”

After saying this, she looked at the other ladies, and several of them echoed after hearing her: "I agree", "I agree".

In the end, some other wives with lower husbands looked left and right, and when they saw that the prefect's wife did not speak, they finally agreed reluctantly because they did not dare to offend Mrs. Zhao.

So, just like that, half of the people who agreed to her proposal were half.

In the end, I don't know what the prefect's wife thinks, so she nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, then let's play two games first, and then change to other ones if it doesn't work?" ”

"Good", "good", "listen to Madame", as Mrs. Hu's words fell, several other ladies who had not spoken just now also responded.

As for her, she knew very well in her heart that this was Mrs. Zhao targeting her, because she knew that she was a woman from the mountains and had not learned these things.

She knows her own weight, and she's really not good at these poems or anything.

So, just as they were about to start, she said, "Excuse me, I have two things I want to say I don't know, okay?" ”

At this time, Mrs. Hu took the lead in saying, "Mrs. Li, please speak." ”

When she heard this, she said apologetically to the ladies around her: "I'm sorry everyone, I don't know if you know, I came out of the mountains, so I really don't understand these so-called poems, so I think I may not be able to participate in this game." ”

She doesn't hide her origin, her background is something she can't choose, and she already feels good if she survives.

The ladies didn't expect her to say that, and they were a little surprised for a moment.

However, that Mrs. Zhao would not let her go like this.

You said that if it hadn't been for the previous one, maybe she would have let her go and not keep staring at her, but with the one just now, she would definitely not let her go.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhao said: "How come, I have heard that our new Tongzhi Lord loves his wife very much, and this Tongzhi Master is a two-rank jinshi, and his knowledge is definitely not bad."

And Mrs. Li has also been married to Li Tongzhi for more than ten years, no matter what, there will be a lot, Mrs. Li should not refuse, let's play together, is it because Mrs. is afraid of losing that she won't play with us? ”

This Mrs. Zhao's meaning against her was already obvious, and she even used the radical method in the end.

However, she is not afraid, no matter how much she drops, she can secretly use the poems she memorized when she used to read, and the others will not, and she will always remember two sentences if she is simple.

Moreover, she also vaguely heard some other meanings from the words of Mrs. Zhao, and she was going to wait for the banquet to go back and ask Li Bokang if there was anything he hadn't told her during her absence.

However, she couldn't show anything at this time, so she said: "Mrs. Zhao thinks too much, I just really don't, but if Mrs. really wants me to participate, I will accompany me." ”

Hearing her unyielding words, the other ladies were even more surprised, and even Mrs. Hu looked at her in surprise.

Looking at the way they looked at her, she smiled at them and said nothing else.

She thought very simply, since everyone had already bullied her, and more than once, why should she back down.

Because everyone agreed, the game soon began.

First of all, they are talking about poems about chrysanthemums, and it is also the season for chrysanthemums to bloom, so let's start with chrysanthemums.

The first to start was Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu didn't think much about it, so she chanted a poem by Tao Yuanming: "Qiu Ju has good color, and she is beautiful and beautiful." Forget this worry, far away from my world. Although he is alone, the cup is full of pots. The day into the flock, the birds tend to the forest. Xiao Ao Dongxuan, talk about recovering this life. ”

Then, Mrs. Zhao preemptively said: "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan." ”

"Why is the chrysanthemum too bitter, suffering from these two double yangs?"

"Sit down and drink the mulberry and put the chrysanthemum branches."

……

After that, basically every lady said that she was left by the ancients, and then she came to her.

She thought for a moment, as if almost everything she knew was pretty much what they had said.

After a moment of silence, she said: "Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come back to chrysanthemums." ”

The song she said was also very simple, but since she said before that she would not be able to come out of the mountains, those ladies were still a little surprised.

Soon, however, they began another round of poetry.

This time, Mrs. Hu said a poem she thought, the poem is very simple, and the meaning is very clear, that is, to praise chrysanthemums.

Soon, it was her again, she thought about it for a long time this time, and when others thought she couldn't think of it, she said: "It's not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums, and this flower blooms even more flowerless."

This time the ladies were even more surprised.

In the end, the game ends with one of the other ladies.

After it was over, she was a little glad in her heart, it was over, otherwise if it was her turn again, she might lose.

She really couldn't think of other poems about chrysanthemums, and most of what she knew was said, otherwise it hadn't appeared yet, and it would be inappropriate to say it on this occasion.

Luckily, it ended in front of her.
