Without waiting for Meng Xiansheng to introduce it, Xiaobao directly commented on the painting of the banner: "Oh! It is worthy of being the first of the four elegant paintings! This painting is really good!"

"Sanya"'s smile froze slightly, but she nodded as if she was sincerely convinced.

Xiaobao said "sincerely": "In "Listening to Music in the Lotus Pond", lush lotus flowers fill the pond, a girl in plain clothes plays the piano by the pond, and birds and butterflies stand on the head of the piano to listen. What a beautiful artistic conception!

And the intention is good! The disasters in various places have made people panic, and the sound of this girl’s piano seems to soothe the hearts of the people. Well, good! So good!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the calligraphy work next to him, because he had just discovered that the signature on this painting was the same as that on the calligraphy work, so it must also be Meng Xiansheng's.

"What a good calligraphy! What a good calligraphy!" Xiaobao was full of praise, "The excerpted verses are good, and the combination is better, but after recombining several poems, the effect is even better!

When the wind blows, it is difficult to cross the lake, but the lotuses are many and not thin. Do not splash water when opening a pole, for you are afraid of getting the red lotus clothes wet. Oh, what a poem!

Brother Meng, you can both calligraphy and painting, and your artistic conception is wonderful, and you can learn from all directions. No wonder people all over the city say that you are the first of the Four Elegances, you are truly worthy of your name!"

Yan must be called "the first of the four graces", which makes the other "three graces" have trouble controlling their expressions no matter how good-tempered they are.

We are all young people, we really can’t stand such provocation!

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting bad, Meng Xiansheng was anxious. He couldn't let Xiaobao be sent to three other academies just because he was alone.

Simply, someone came to the rescue.

"Why is it you again!" A voice came from the side.

It turned out that Xue Erlang came over with a group of half-grown girls.

"Brother, is this kid here to tease you again? Look at me beating him to death!" Xue Erlang shouted.

"Erlang, don't be rude! Come here and meet Mr. Chu. This is the mountain chief of Baoqing Technician College. He is younger than you, but he passed the scholar examination early. You must learn from him!"

Xue Dalang smoothed things over for his younger brother.

Seeing that Xue Erlang was unconvinced and about to retaliate, he quickly stopped him: "Why are you here? Why did you bring your sister with you?"

Xue Erlang brought a group of little girls, each of whom was only twelve or thirteen years old, and some were even younger, only eight years old.

"Brother," Xue Erlang called, wanting to continue targeting Xiaobao, but seeing his brother's warning eyes, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only answer: "My sisters have an appointment to play together, and I don't know where to go.

Then come to me;

Anyway, they are all sisters from our family, so I simply brought them here. If you find us annoying, I will take them elsewhere."

These little girls are not all from the Xue family, but are from every family in the "Fucheng Siya" family.

The older ones are engaged and cannot go out to play together, so they can only stay with their mother; the younger ones have more freedom and can still stay together.

It's just that they are all little girls. On weekdays, they can only visit each other's houses and never go out.

Today is the Lotus Viewing Festival. They each asked their mothers and got permission to go out together, but they didn’t know how to play.

"Mom said you can come out to find your brothers," said the little girl from the Xue family.

Mother's original words were: Your brother should hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition outside Xicheng. You went to find your brothers together. You must listen to your brothers and do not act without authorization.

As a mother, she is very considerate, not only to give her daughter a chance to play, but also to ensure her safety. Besides, with her daughter around, it is not easy for her son to mess around with cats, dogs, and flowers.

They are all the legitimate sons of the family, people who have high hopes for the family. Their reputation is important, but they cannot come back after getting sick outside.

As mothers, they also have to take their engaged daughters with them to enjoy the lotus flowers with their future in-laws, so as to create some opportunities for their engaged children to get to know each other.

When Meng Xiansheng saw this group of girls coming, he quickly checked them one by one. He was relieved when he saw that there were several of his own sisters, but not Meng Yueyue.

As long as Meng Yueyue is not here, it will be fine. The other houses have not yet set their sights on Chu Dong.

Xiaobao has held his breath.

He felt that it was not difficult to practice Shui Mao Mao's breath-holding skills. As long as he put these girls in front of him, he would definitely be able to practice it - he was so young, but his whole body was covered with a stifling powdery smell!

The children in the college also held their breath, not because of the fragrance, but because of fear - Chief, you have to protect yourself, there are too many girls here!

Even though these girls are only twelve or thirteen years old, they all live a full life.

Why are they clamoring to come out to play?

Because they knew that the family would arrange for their brothers to take them.

The sisters in the family are getting married and engaged, and they are not far away from this step.

Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, marriage has never been up to oneself.

Among the sisters in the family, there are some who are the legitimate daughters, and some who are the concubines. It all depends on which in-law the family needs.

Therefore, if they want to live a better life in the future, they have to plan for themselves.

It is best to be the main wife, not far from home, and to be able to borrow the strength of the mother's family.

But how big is the Songjiang Mansion? How many young men of the right age are there for them to choose? Even if they choose, how can they get the family to agree?

Moreover, when you stay at home all day long, who can you see and get to know?

Therefore, festivals such as "Lotus Festival", "Hungry Ghost Festival" and "Lantern Festival" that do not restrict girls from going out should be taken advantage of.

Following my brothers not only ensures safety, but also allows me to meet the young masters of various families through my brother's circle of friends.

The people the brothers associate with are all profitable to the family, so if they choose a marriage partner from them, the family will not object.

At that time, if you see someone who is close to what you want, you can create some opportunities for yourself so that you can get married without feeling aggrieved.

Even though they are young, they have already seen through their mother's daily behavior: a woman relies on her father before she gets married, and after she gets married, she relies on her son!

In other words, it doesn't matter whether the character you marry is good or not. As long as you become a good lady and have the power in your hand, it doesn't matter how many concubines the married person has or how many concubines they have. As long as you have a son, you will be fine in this life.

There is hope.

Of course, if you happen to marry someone who is "a couple for a lifetime", it will be a pie in the sky and you have accumulated great blessings in your previous life.

Meng Xiansheng saw these little girls acting innocently and innocently one by one, but they were already secretly looking at the classmates in his college with thoughtful eyes, and he understood their intentions.

That's fine. Originally, he regarded Meng Yueyue as the last "backup" - if he couldn't "be on good terms" with Xiaobao, he would introduce Meng Yueyue to Xiaobao and create opportunities for them.

In other words, even if Meng Yueyue had to be used to contact Xiaobao, it would have to be from their first bedroom, not the second bedroom.

However, now I have a better choice. I have two cousins ​​and one cousin. These three are from the undisputed heads of the family and are much better than Meng Yueyue.

Meng Xiansheng: "Didn't Yue'er come out to play with you?"

Meng Xiansheng still wanted to ask about Meng Yueyue's movements, for fear that if she came too, she didn't show up just because she went to the toilet?

"She went out with the second uncle. She doesn't want to play with us." The cousin from the fourth room said, trying her best to hide the disdain in her heart.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The second cousin from the fourth room also agreed.

The fourth uncle held a wedding banquet before giving birth to a child, so this cousin was one year older than Meng Yueyue and was much more thoughtful.

It should be said that these sisters are smarter than Meng Yueyue.

What Meng Yueyue couldn't see through, these sisters had already understood.

At this moment, the unfinished words in the fourth cousin's heart are: "Meng Yueyue pretends to be noble, but in fact, she is just a fool. It would be better if she is not around. We are not happy to take her to play."
