Chapter 29: Participate in the poetry meeting!(1/2)
As soon as Shen Chuhan entered the room, he saw the ointment on the table: "Come here!"
Xu Ruoxue was not sure about Shen Chuhan's attitude for a moment. Could it be that she wanted to take revenge on herself?
Seeing Shen Chuhan's displeased expression, he hesitated for a moment and then walked over.
"Sit tight!" Shen Chuhan stood behind Xuruoxue and applied the ointment directly on her slender and white neck.
The ointment was slightly cold, and Xuruoxue couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Shen Chuhan thought it hurt her, so his movements were a little gentle.
Then he started massaging her again.
Xuruoxue felt her neck feel comfortable and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you, Brother Six, to have such a skill."
Shen Chuhan didn't say anything, and Xuruoxue didn't ask any questions.
Although I don’t know what caused the problem on my neck, it has eased a lot now, and I am very grateful to Shen Chuhan.
After a while, Ling Shuang brought a basin of water and prepared for Shen Chuhan to clean her hands.
After Xuruoxue saw Ling Shuang, she asked, "This Ling Shuang said you sent her to me. Why?"
"Ling Shuang's martial arts can protect you." Shen Chuhan explained calmly after washing his hands.
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Xuruoxue asked curiously.
Shen Chuhan gave her a cold look: "I was almost beaten yesterday. Do you want to be attacked again in the future?"
Xu Ruoxue immediately thought of what An Qiqian and her gang did yesterday, and felt a little more grateful to Shen Chuhan.
"Thanks to Brother Six for what happened yesterday, thank you." Xuruoxue looked sincere.
"Yeah." Shen Chuhan responded casually.
Seeing that Xuruoxue was fine, he stood up directly: "Get ready, it's getting late."
"Oh!" Xu Ruoxue immediately got up and started busy as she thought about going to the academy soon.
After arriving at the academy.
Master Lin announced something.
Tomorrow is Changshan Academy’s monthly poetry meeting, so all students should make some preparations.
When these words fell into Xuruoxue's ears, she also felt a headache.
Although she knows a lot of poems, they are all masterpieces handed down for thousands of years. For her to write poems, it is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.
At this moment, Master Lin specifically named Xuruoxue with a kind look on his face: "Xuruoxue, I know you are talented in poetry. Don't let me down when the time comes!"
Xuruoxue responded with a wry smile.
After school, An Qiqian looked at her with disdain and said, "Isn't it just that I can write poetry? What's so great about it!"
Qin Xiaoyuan, who was standing next to Xuruoxue, said with an unconvinced look on her face: "What ability do you have? At your level, you still have the nerve to tell others?"
"Qin Xiaoyuan, I haven't settled the account with you for beating me yesterday!" As she said this, An Qianxi and others came forward to argue with Qin Xiaoyuan.
"Yesterday, I wanted to help you, but you didn't know you were so heavy, so I had to put you on the ground!" Qin Xiaoyuan said seriously.
"You..." An Xixi said, rolling up her sleeves and wanting to hit someone.
Xuruoxue immediately stepped forward: "An Qiqian, do you want to fight in the academy?"
An Qianqian sneered: "Hey! We got together so quickly. Qin Xiaoyuan, aren't you trying to curry favor with the General's Mansion?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, fawning over Ji Xiaorou?" Qin Xiaoyuan always avenges her on the spot.
An Qiqian seemed to have lost her mind and planned to hit Xuruoxue with her hand.
The people around her quickly stopped her: "Don't forget the rules of the academy."
"Hmph!" An Qiqian snorted coldly and retracted her hand, "You want to provoke me and make me do it in the academy, no way!"
An Qianxi stared at the two of them: "Xuruohan will be back tomorrow, let's see how arrogant you are!"
"Xuruohan?" Xuruoxue gently repeated the name.
"Why are you afraid?" An Qianqian looked sarcastic, "Xuruohan is the most talented woman in the capital. She has always been the leader of the poetry club. There is no way you, a person from the countryside, can win!"
Although Xu Ruoxue had never met anyone from Duke Xu's mansion, her mother Lu Wansu only mentioned a few words.
Regarding the affairs of Duke Xu's Mansion, I also learned a little bit about it after arriving in the capital.
He had heard of Xuruohan's reputation.
But I am not worried about tomorrow's poetry meeting at all. After all, the things left by our ancestors are priceless treasures.
Even if she doesn't believe in herself, she still has to believe in these cultural treasures that have accumulated over thousands of years.
"So what about Xuruohan?" Xuruoxue said nonchalantly, "What the result will be tomorrow, we will have to test it in person before we know."
Then he chuckled: "You praise that Xuruohan so much. When she loses, won't it hurt your face to say these words?"
"We'll see!" An Qiqian didn't believe that Xuruoxue had any real talent.
Maybe it was a coincidence that she competed with Ji Xiaorou that day. She didn't believe that Xuruoxue would win this poetry competition.
Soon, the news spread that Xuruoxue was going to challenge Xuruohan, the most talented woman in the capital.
For a time, people in the academy were talking a lot.
Many people looked down upon Xuruoxue, and even thought she was deliberately trying to attract others' attention, and laughed at her for not overestimating her abilities.
After Qin Xiaoyuan heard about it, she immediately defended her: "It must be An Qianqian deliberately spreading rumors. You didn't say such a thing at all."
"It doesn't matter." Xuruoxue was not nervous about this at all.
"The Poetry Festival will happen tomorrow, and we don't know what the outcome will be yet." Although Xuruoxue said this, she was already confident, "The higher you praise them now, the results will hit them hard in the face tomorrow!"
Qin Xiaoyuan immediately laughed when she heard this: "Ruoxue, I know you must have a way, and you will be the leader tomorrow!"
"I just said it casually." Xuruoxue said modestly.
Several brothers of the Shen family also heard about this incident.
When Shen Chulan saw Xuruoxue walking out of the academy, she couldn't sit still for a long time: "Sister, have you figured it out? I heard that you want to challenge Xuruohan?"
Hearing this, Xuruoxue looked helpless: "I never said that."
"Then what's going on?" Shen Chulan asked immediately, with a distressed look on her face. "Almost the entire academy knows about it now, and it won't be long before the whole capital knows about it."
The person in the Shen family who likes playing the flute the most and composing poems is the youngest Shen Chunan.
He also looked at her with a worried look: "Are you good at writing poetry?"
"Writing poems...it's okay." Xu Ruoxue hesitated for a long time, she was the best at reciting poems.
Shen Chulan immediately shouted: "Xue'er, don't worry, third brother has the best literary talent. Writing poems is like drinking cold water."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xuruoxue looked at Shen Chunan with admiration.
"Third brother, I didn't expect you to be a great poet!"
Shen Chunan felt her burning eyes and coughed twice uncomfortably: "Ahem...it's not that exaggerated."
Shen Chulan patted him on the shoulder: "Third brother, among the brothers, you are the best at these literary things, and your music is also very good. Are you so humble because you don't want to help Xue'er?"
"Did I ever say I wouldn't help?" Shen Chunan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Chulan.
"Hehe, it's just a joke." Shen Chulan retracted her hand nonchalantly. This third brother is the most cunning, so it's better to stay away from him.
Shen Chuhan stood aside and felt very uncomfortable when he saw Xuruoxue looking at Shen Chunan with such admiration.
Xu Ruoxue looked at her brothers with a smile, and there was no trace of nervousness on her face: "Brothers, don't worry, although I don't read much, writing poetry is no problem for me."
She continued to explain for a while before they gave up the idea of training her overnight.
When Xuruoxue was lying on the bed, she was instantly glad that she could recite poems, otherwise she wouldn't have had a good night's sleep tonight.
The poetry meeting of Changshan Academy is held once a month, rain or shine. Not only the students of the academy can participate, but also many people who like poetry can join.
Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that the emperor is fond of writing, and poetry gatherings are particularly important.
But if you can get praise from the masters in the academy, it is also a good way to increase your reputation.
Therefore, during every poetry meeting, Changshan Academy will be open to the public on this day, inviting some literati who like to compose poetry to come and taste it, in order to facilitate the circulation of excellent works as soon as possible.
The doorman of the academy performed his duties conscientiously. After checking the name card, he respectfully invited people in.
In the academy, the woman was sitting alone.
An Qianqian glanced at everyone: "Why hasn't Xuruoxue come yet? Isn't it because she is afraid of losing and doesn't dare to come?"
After hearing this, everyone began to look for Xuruoxue's figure.
After looking around, I really didn't see Xuruoxue.
"This Xuruoxue can't really know anything and run away, right?"
"It looks like he knew how powerful Xuruohan was, so he was so scared that he hid."
