Chapter 20: So excited that my hands are shaking
Seeing Hou Linghua's head held high and confident, the maid standing by smiled and said, "Sister Xinya was tired and wanted to rest. When she heard that Mr. Hou was coming, she came out to accompany him. It was only because of his literary talent.
People, I hope that the poems written by the young master will not disappoint my sister."
Nian Xinya said with a smile, "Lian'er is joking. Mr. Hou is so talented, how can he disappoint people? I think this will be a masterpiece, and the slave family is looking forward to it."
The scribes at Hou Linghua's table immediately agreed, "We have read Linghua's poems and they are indeed good."
"Excellent writing!"
"I also saw it and was amazed."
After Nian Xinya heard this, her beautiful eyes became brighter, and she immediately urged, "Please Master Hou tell me your masterpiece so that the slave family can admire it."
Hou Linghua looked pleased and said with a smile, "Although this poem is for the big exam, it is actually written for Miss Xinya. I would like to write it down and dedicate it to the girl myself, okay?"
Nian Xinya's pretty face turned red, she became more and more beautiful, and she said shyly, "Young master is joking, I don't dare to be a slave, I just want to admire you, I don't dare to have any delusions."
Hou Linghua didn't say much. He believed that as long as Nian Xinya saw this poem, she would definitely not reject him again. He immediately walked aside, picked up the sharp brush on the table, dipped it in ground ink, and wrote on rice paper.
Get up.
Mu Yuhao and others on the side could not help but curl their lips, feeling sad.
From beginning to end, Nian Xinya didn't even look at them. She focused entirely on the poem, which made them extremely envious.
Bah, what rubbish poems are just rotten things, not as good as their own strategies... Mu Yuhao and others were indignant.
After cursing in my heart, I also secretly felt helpless, why did I not have literary talent? Otherwise, I would have become the focus of the audience and attracted the favor of beauties.
Seeing the envious and contemptuous expressions of Mu Yuhao and others, Qin Yi wanted to laugh. He turned around and saw Nian Xinya's pretty face smiling, her bright eyes looking expectantly at the rice paper written by Hou Linghua, and he was secretly surprised.
I didn’t expect this beauty to really love talent.
Not long after, Hou Linghua had finished writing, and with a proud smile, he handed the poem to Lian'er.
Lian'er quickly took it and handed it to Nian Xinya, who had been waiting for a long time, with a smile.
After getting the poem, Nian Xinya quickly spread it out and read it carefully, chanting softly while reading it. Her beautiful face and focused expression were extremely charming.
Hou Linghua looked at her intently, fascinated and looking forward to it, waiting for her admiration.
Mu Yuhao kept curling his lips, almost cramping his mouth, hoping that Nian Xinya would refute this poem as worthless.
After reading it and chanting softly for a while, Nian Xinya said with a smile, "Yes, it's a good poem. Mr. Hou is very talented and I admire him very much. Lian'er, bring me a glass of wine. I want to toast Mr. Hou."
”
Many scribes laughed, Mu Yuhao and others were greatly disappointed, while Hou Linghua was extremely happy, clenching his hands with a look of anticipation.
Maybe, he will be invited into the room for a chat later!
Thinking of this, Hou Linghua's excited hands trembled. When he picked up the wine glass, it kept shaking and almost spilled it.
With a distant bow, Nian Xinya pursed her red lips. After taking a sip, she said with a smile, "I'm a little tired and can't continue to accompany you. Please forgive me, gentlemen."
Hou Linghua said happily, "Miss Xinya, go and have a rest quickly, don't be exhausted."
He knew that after Nian Xinya left, she would send a maid to invite him to the house for a talk. This was a routine procedure.
Thinking that he was in love but couldn't get it, and now that he had spent a lot of effort and finally got it, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Seeing Nian Xinya's graceful figure slowly leaving, many scribes congratulated her, their voices filled with envy, "Congratulations, brother Linghua, for finally bringing this beauty home."
"Brother, I am so envious of such a beautiful girl. If I could hold her in my arms, I can't help but fall in love with her!"
"If only I had half the poetic talent of Brother Ling Hua, why worry about not being able to win the favor of the oiran?"
Hou Linghua's face turned red and he was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and thanked her repeatedly, "Don't be discouraged. Even if you can't win the heart of the oiran, there are many pretty girls in the Jiaofang Division. You all have good literary talents and you can still impress them."<
/p>
After saying that, he turned to look at Qin Yi and others with an extremely contemptuous expression, "It's not like some people who can only sit around and stare all their lives."
Mu Yuhao snorted angrily and turned his head sharply, not wanting to look anymore. The whole air seemed to be sour.
Zhang Dong curled his lips and said, "Hey! Look at that handsome look!"
Liang Ankang secretly spat and turned his head away without looking.
Seeing Mu Yuhao and others enjoying the food so much, Qin Yi was amused, but he didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, when Hou Linghua glanced at him, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
That look is like seeing a dead dog on the roadside. Is that so?
How much does this guy look down on strategists?
If the strategist hadn't gone out with the army to defend his country, would this guy still be able to sit here and pick up girls?
Hou Linghua refused, and then mocked, "You should look in the mirror, is this swan meat something you can eat?"
Mu Yuhao was furious after hearing this and stood up. Liang Ankang and Zhang Dong saw them and quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Yu Hao, don't cause trouble!"
Although this Jiaofangsi is a place of fireworks, there are huge complications behind it. If trouble occurs, the consequences are unpredictable.
In addition, Hou Linghua comes from an extraordinary family, and his father is the general judge of Lilan Mansion. If he is injured, he will be in constant trouble.
Seeing Mu Yuhao angry and jealous, looking like he was about to hit someone, Hou Linghua didn't restrain himself and kept making cold calls.
After laughing for a long time, no maid came to invite him. Hou Linghua was secretly surprised.
After thinking about it, I guessed that something had delayed me, so I patiently continued to wait.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, no one came to invite him. Hou Linghua originally wanted to wait, but when he saw the sneer on Mu Yuhao's face, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he said to the maid standing beside him, "Go and ask.
Let’s see what other instructions Miss Xinya has.”
After the maid left, Hou Linghua smiled and said to his classmates, "I guess Miss Xinya is delayed because of something, so there's no harm in waiting."
Other scribes agreed, "It's very possible."
"Brother Ling Hua is so talented in literature that he will surely win the heart of Miss Xinya this time. But now something must have delayed him."
After a while, the maid came back quickly, and everyone stared at the maid without blinking.
"Sister Xinya said that there is nothing to do, and she also invites you gentlemen to eat and drink to your heart's content." The maid replied with a smile.
Hou Linghua was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "What? Say it again? Apart from this, what else did Miss Xinya say?"
The maid was frightened and shook her head repeatedly, "No, I just said this."
Hou Linghua was stunned and couldn't believe it. Could it be that his poem couldn't move Nian Xinya's heart?
Many scribes were also extremely surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.
Chapter completed!
