Chapter 40: Peony
Zhou Li's face was ugly.
Obviously, I didn't expect to be beaten like this.
It's just even more unexpected.
And that's just the beginning.
Xiao's mother also saw that Zhou Li was unclear, so she simply asked someone to invite Zhou Li out.
"Since you like this concubine so much, then go out with you."
The crowd was amazed.
I also looked down on Zhou Li more and more in my heart, and I was actually driven out of this Hundred Flowers Banquet, which was indeed a shame.
Su Mu was also surprised at this time, but this was just a small episode of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
It's just a matter of watching the excitement, and no one will really pay attention to this all the time.
Although Su Ningyu didn't know why Xiao Pingping would help her, she still thanked her, "Thank you Miss Xiao for this time." ”
Xiao Pingping just smiled and didn't say anything.
She has always been very fair to her rivals.
Even if there is no clarity between Su Ningyu and Shen Qihan now, she still chooses to compete fairly, so that she can show her charm, isn't it?
Su Ningyu didn't know what she was paying attention to now, but now her look like this did tell Su Ningyu that she really hated the Zhou family.
However, Xiao Pingping didn't stay by Su Ningyu's side for too long, and turned around and proposed that everyone compare poems.
"Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't chant poetry?"
Everyone reconsidered, after all, this banquet was hosted by the Xiao family, and they naturally wanted to please the Xiao family.
Su Ningyu didn't want to participate, but how could Xiao Pingping just let her go?
"Mrs. Zhou shouldn't dare, right? It's just a competition, and there's nothing to lose if you lose, so let's have a good time together, if you don't participate, wouldn't it be unsociable? ”
How could she not see that Xiao Pingping was doing it on purpose?
I just felt helpless in my heart, she didn't want to be in the limelight.
It's just that so many pairs of eyes are watching, if you don't agree at this time, you won't give the Xiao family face.
Xiao's mother is easy to speak, "It doesn't have to be a comparison, it's just to please a good fortune, the peonies in this garden are so beautiful, if no one appreciates it, how can it be good?" ”
Now even Xiao's mother has already spoken, if Su Ningyu doesn't participate, it is indeed impossible to say.
"Since that's the case, then Ning Yu will be ugly."
Xiao Pingping now believes in her heart that she will win the first place, after all, she is also a highly respected existence among the talented women in Beijing.
She looked at Su Ningyu and smiled a little proudly.
And Su Ningyu could only pretend not to see it at this time.
Speaking of peonies, Su Ningyu actually doesn't like it much, but the flowers in this garden are indeed delicate, and even people like her can't help but stop and watch.
Everyone, you and I have a word, but you have a good time, it is indeed according to what Xiao's mother said, just to please a good fortune, no one takes it seriously, and there are also people who want to reveal themselves, but they are ordinary, Su Ningyu saw that many people were secretly snickering.
When it was Su Ningyu's turn, naturally many people came over, obviously because of what happened just now, everyone paid special attention to Su Ningyu.
Su Ningyu didn't hide it either, "The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate." Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. ”
The ladies who were going to watch the joke were stunned,
never expected Su Ningyu to have such talent.
And Su Ningyu did not accept the poem herself, but gave the poem to the mother and daughter of the Xiao family.
"Today the two of you couldn't be more suitable for this poem."
She didn't want to be in the limelight, nor did she want to be suppressed like this, so it was natural to give this poem to Xiao's mother and Xiao Pingping.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Su Ningyu's knowledge.
However, I was more surprised by Su Ningyu's talent.
If she is so talented, why is she being treated like this?
The Zhou family is indeed a little ignorant.
Su Ningyu is in a good mood now, but she doesn't care about other people's eyes.
In fact, this Hundred Flowers Banquet is just an occasion for everyone to compare, if it is really said, Su Ningyu doesn't care much.
The more Xiao Mu looked at this poem, the more she liked it, "Yes, yes, this poem is indeed wonderful, and it should be the first today." ”
The latter simply didn't even read it, which shows how much I like this poem.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was Mrs. Xiao's heart.
In such a situation, everyone can only praise together.
It just so happened that at this time, Xiao Neng and Shen Qihan passed by the courtyard of the female dependent, and they were very curious to hear so many praises.
Especially Xiao Neng, who has never seen his wife so happy, "What happened?" Why is everyone amazed and praised? ”
In such a situation, curiosity is naturally normal.
Mrs. Xiao smiled, "Naturally, you should be happy to get a good poem, you two know this poem best, why don't you taste it together?" ”
Originally, this Hundred Flowers Banquet was held by the Xiao family, but now they naturally have no questions.
Shen Qihan still looked indifferent, Xiao Neng was indeed interested, "It is indeed a good poem, but it can be the best." ”
He unconsciously admired the beauty of the poem.
And Shen Qihan just watched from the side, but his eyes fell on Su Ningyu's body unconsciously.
This was the first time the two had met since that unpleasant experience.
However, Su Ningyu didn't look at him, so many people were watching here, if Su Ningyu behaved wrong with him, tomorrow would definitely be all rumors about them.
Su Ningyu didn't want such a life, so she behaved extremely calmly.
It was because of this situation that Shen Qihan misunderstood that Su Ningyu was still angry.
After all, I still care.
"What does Brother Shen think?"
Xiao Pingping couldn't help but look at Shen Qihan, hoping to get Shen Qihan's affirmation.
But Shen Qihan just glanced at the poem lightly.
Xiao Pingping's face couldn't help but flush with a hint of blush, as long as she saw Shen Qihan, she would unconsciously behave like this.
However, Shen Qihan didn't care about her shyness, and just briefly commented on the peonies in this garden.
"The owner of this poem is indeed worthy of this poem."
His tone unconsciously became lighter.
When Xiao's mother was talking about this poem just now, she also mentioned Su Ningyu's poetry, and now Shen Qihan's praise is equivalent to directly praising Su Ningyu.
What Xiao Pingping was expecting did not happen, but Su Ningyu was praised, how could she be willing?
"Brother Shen......"
Her face was very ugly, and she hoped that Shen Qihan could say a few more good words.
Shen Qihan said that he did say it, but what he said was not a good thing, "Miss Su is indeed a peony, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Pingping's face was lowered in public.
