The two of them went to the backyard together, and the guests and hosts were still seated at the table in the backyard pavilion, while Xia Yan set up a barbecue rack nearby and started a fire to warm the wine.
Although it was cold winter, the three of them were all well-educated people and their energy and blood were surging. They didn't feel cold at all. Besides, there was a barbecue stove burning nearby.
"It's a pity that it's a sunny day and the plum blossoms in the courtyard haven't bloomed yet. Otherwise, if the plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom and there were a few snowflakes floating in the sky, it would be even more artistic if we sit here drinking together like this." Qin Ziling looked at it.
The beautiful woman opposite looked at the sun hanging in the sky outside and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be an elegant man!" Xiao Qing said with a hint of surprise on her face.
"Haha, don't think that I have a beard and am a rough guy who only knows how to hunt. If I really compete with literary talents, I might not lose to you, the eldest lady of the Xiao family!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Really?" Seeing Qin Ziling say this, Xiao Qing forgot about her worries for a moment. She pointed at the plum blossoms in the courtyard and said, "Although the plum blossoms haven't bloomed yet, I don't think it will prevent Mr. Qin from singing a poem about plum blossoms."
Come on! As long as Mr. Qin can compose a poem praising plum blossoms within a quarter of an hour, I will consider myself inferior to you and punish myself with three glasses of wine."
When Qin Ziling heard this, he couldn't help showing a look of astonishment. He thought, isn't it? With such a familiar passage, do I, a time-traveler, have to start the poetry reciting and composing mode of a showman?
"Mr. Qin, are you just joking?" Xiao Qing saw Qin Ziling's astonished expression. She felt that this should be the case, but was also a little disappointed.
In fact, ever since Qin Ziling purchased Tianji Bone Paste through her, Xiao Qing has developed a sense of heroism towards him, so when Qin Ziling said that he was still a talented person, Xiao Qing was both surprised and somewhat expecting.
.
After all, she is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and she still hopes in her heart that the man she admires can be both civil and military, and not just a vulgar commoner.
Seeing that Xiao Qing had obviously misunderstood him, Qin Ziling suddenly had a bad taste when he recalled the plots of some time-travel novels he had read.
"Why don't we just sing a poem about plum blossoms? Why does it take a quarter of an hour? Let me compose one for Miss Xiao Qing now!" Qin Ziling thought of certain plots in his mind and said something arrogant, then stood up and faced the courtyard.
The plum blossoms inside left Xiao Qing with a coquettish figure from behind.
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan, who was busy next to them, suddenly opened their eyes wide with expressions of disbelief.
No, is this big man with a beard really capable of reciting poems about plum blossoms?
How did they know that the bearded man in front of them was a time-traveler who suffered from ALS before he time-traveled. He only read books every day when he had nothing to do. As a result, he inadvertently became a scholar with a wealth of knowledge.
When Xiao Qing and Xia Yan were surprised and disbelieving, Qin Ziling had already read: "The snow blows and the wind becomes more awe-inspiring, and the integrity of the flowers is the strongest."
"The snow is blowing and the wind is getting more awe-inspiring, and the integrity of flowers is the strongest." Qin Ziling read the first two sentences, and Xiao Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, and she stood up involuntarily, staring at Qin Ziling's back with complex eyes.
Xia Yan also forgot what she was doing and was so surprised that she raised her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that she would make a sound.
The poem is not very beautiful, but Qin Ziling wrote it in such a short period of time, and seemed to use the metaphor of praising plum blossoms to praise Xiao Qing, which is very rare and valuable.
"When the time comes, I will drift away, and I will beg for mercy from Mr. Dong." Qin Ziling continued to read the next two sentences.
When Qin Ziling read out the last two sentences, Xiao Qing was a little crazy, and big tears rolled down her pretty face.
If we say that the first two sentences just use plum blossoms standing proudly in the wind and snow to express a metaphor for a person's unyielding quality in the face of a powerful enemy, it cannot be said that Qin Ziling is referring to Xiao Qing, because there are many people in Da Qi.
Poems about praising plum blossoms all express this aspect.
But the last two sentences, about plum blossoms being out of season and willing to fall and leave, shame and begging for mercy, completely hit Xiao Qing's deepest emotions.
Isn't she now the plum blossom that has passed its peak season and is about to wither? But how can she beg for mercy from her family and her uncles, and how can she give in to Xiao Liu who just came?
After Qin Ziling finished reading the poem, he turned around slowly, feeling a little proud secretly. He thought that Xiao Qing and Xia Yan must have expressions of shock and admiration on their faces at this time, but then he saw Xiao Qing, a strong woman, with a look of disappointment.
People looked pitiful and loving, but Xia Yan was even worse, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she even started sobbing softly.
"This, this, Miss Xiao Qing, Miss Xia Yan, what's wrong with you?" Qin Ziling looked at this scene and couldn't help being dumbfounded.
This is wrong, that’s not how the novel is written!
"Nothing!" Xiao Qing suddenly woke up, quickly wiped the tears on her face, then bowed deeply to Qin Ziling and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the poem!"
"Miss Xiao Qing, you're too polite. I just did it casually, it doesn't mean anything." Qin Ziling hurriedly said modestly, feeling secretly relieved in his heart.
He didn't have much experience in love in his previous life, not to mention the original owner of this body, who was still a baby. As for the old devil Li Mo, you can let him play with zombies, but he is not interested in the matter of men and women at all, so why not?
Know how to comfort a crying beauty.
"Mr. Qin is too humble. You are a truly talented person. Xiao Qing is willing to punish himself with three drinks." Xiao Qing said quickly, then asked Qin Ziling to sit down again, and then, as expected, drank three drinks in a row.
After three cups, Xiao Qing's pretty face blushed slightly, and her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Ziling from time to time, which made Qin Ziling's heart tremble.
This woman won’t fall in love with me just because of this poem, right?
Xiao Qing, a woman like her, would naturally not be able to fall in love with Qin Ziling so easily. However, she had a sense of heroic sympathy for Qin Ziling in the past. Now with this poem, she has regarded Qin Ziling as her only confidant in her life.
In this world, even her closest parents don't know what she really insists on and what she cares about most!
But the man in front of her, who seemed like just a vulgar commoner, understood and knew her!
"If you don't mind, Mr. Qin, how about we call ourselves brother and sister? I'll call you Brother Qin, and you can call me by my name or Qing'er." Xiao Qing suddenly said, her pretty face glowing redder and brighter against the stove beside her.
This made her, who was originally quite heroic, exude a unique and alluring femininity.
"Ahem!" Qin Ziling was drinking, and he was caught off guard and choked.
"Mr. Qin, are you unwilling?" Xiao Qing showed a hint of disappointment when she saw this.
She really regarded Qin Ziling as her confidant, so she suddenly became interested.
