Shuangxi nodded and admired sincerely: "This peony is not more gorgeous than the red peony, nor richer than the pink peony, but it has a different charm. Look, the goose green peony petals have a kind of purity that is neither seductive nor charming.
!”
Seeing that Shuangxi was interested in this green peony, Shen Mo put on a smile that concealed a little treachery, and then guided Shuangxi and asked: "Xier, if you like this peony, I will give it to you."
?"
Shuangxi looked at Shen Mo in surprise: "Give it to me? This peony is not yours, why did you give it to me!" Shuangxi felt a little funny, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Shen Mo stood up straight and smiled conceitedly: "This peony will be ours soon. Xi'er, just tell me whether you like it or not. If you like it, I will fight for it for you. If you don't like it, I will fight for it for you."
Just..."
Shen Mo didn't say anything anymore, he was really afraid that Shuangxi would say he didn't like it.
Shuangxi smiled and said in a clear and sweet voice: "Why did this peony become our family's? Even if we want to fight for it, how can we fight for it?"
Shen Mo quickly replied: "It's very simple. Well, didn't you see the arena? It's nothing more than some chess, calligraphy and painting things. We won the first place, and the green peony is ours, isn't it?"
Shuangxi felt the confidence in Shen Mo's tone, and wanted to see what Shen Mo had grown into now, so he said with a smile: "Then take this peony home."
She really liked it so much that she turned around to let Cuiping take a look. Cuiping must have liked it too, right?
Women, for the most part, have no resistance to such flowers and plants.
When Shen Mo saw that Shuang Xi had agreed to the peony, he felt happy, but his face nodded calmly: "Then Xi'er, just wait for me to give the peony to you!" Although Shen Mo tried his best to control his family.
She is not as good as Shen Ziyan, who can keep everything contained, and not as good as his second brother, who can cover everything up with a cold face. This
There was still a hint of unusual joy on his face.
Shuangxi looked at Shen Mo in confusion: "Why are you so happy?" For some reason, Shuangxi had a premonition that someone was plotting against him.
Shen Mo shook his head quickly: "No, there is nothing happy about it."
"Then I'll look at you..." Shuangxi said doubtfully.
Shen Mo interrupted Shuang Xi's words: "I felt a little happy when I thought that if I won the first prize, I would beat others."
Shuangxi is still a little suspicious, because no matter how you look at it, Shen Mo is not that competitive, but since Shen Mo said so, Shuangxi will not stop Shen Mo.
There are always various literary gatherings among these students. Today you will take the lead, and tomorrow I will steal the show. Shen Mo will not be too outstanding and disgusting. Besides, these literati will
She is taking this opportunity to become famous. If Shen Mo likes it, she certainly has no reason to stop it.
This time, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a painting, calligraphy or poetry competition. The Eight Immortals cross the sea and each shows their magical powers. When the time comes, draw and write on paper. If someone plays the piano and makes music, it’s okay. Just show it and show it to everyone.
.In this Peony Competition, the winner is not decided by the judges, but by the students present and the female relatives of each family.
Because painting and writing take time, these people entered the scene first. Shen Mo gave Shuangxi a reassuring look and walked in.
A stick of incense, you can do whatever you want! As long as you can impress the girls and gentlemen below, the Qinglong Panxiu will be yours!
Shuangxi looked at Shen Mo's posture, as if he was painting, and felt a little annoyed. He regretted that he did not tell Shen Mo that he was not allowed to paint himself. He did not want to be in the limelight. No matter if he provoked peach blossoms or white lotus flowers, he would be in trouble. It's annoying enough!
Before the time of burning the incense had passed, Shuangxi felt the corner of his clothes being pulled by someone. When he looked sideways, he saw Fu'er with swollen eyes.
"Hi sister! I couldn't find you even if I looked for you. I'm worried to death!" Fu'er's voice was a little hoarse, and she had obviously cried.
After all, it was him who took the initiative to avoid Fu'er. Shuangxi felt a little guilty and said to Fu'er, "Good luck to Fu'er. It's my sister's fault. Don't cry. It will make you cry, but it won't be good!"
"I'm not crying for Sister Xi!" Fu'er said seriously. She was worried about Sister Xi, but with Brother Shen here, Sister Xi would definitely not be lost... She was crying because...
Shuangxi smiled, thinking that Fu'er was a little annoyed and refused to admit that she was crying because of herself. Otherwise, why would Fu'er be crying? Mr. Nanxi just agreed to accept Fu'er, so she should be happy!
Just as the two people were talking, the time for burning incense came. However, the things these people drew were not displayed for everyone to see. Instead, they were collected together, waiting for those who showed off other talents. , only after the display is completed can we make a selection together!
At this moment, a man in blue, holding a long white jade Xiao, walked onto the stage.
This man seems to have a very good family background. There are dark patterns embroidered on his blue clothes. It is getting dark at this moment, and lanterns have been hung around the stage. The blue clothes, under the yellow light, seem to have an undercurrent of light. .
The man's face is not very handsome, but he is still above average. He wears a jade crown on his head, with a simple hairpin inserted diagonally and holding the jade crown in place. This is a very popular hairstyle for the princes of the Anqing Dynasty.
His hands are long and slender, with clear joints. At this time, his right hand is holding the white jade Xiao. The Xiao is decorated with a blue tassel with jade beads strung on it. The matching colors of green and white make the jade flute and the hand holding the jade Xiao even more attractive. of attention.
In this way, he walked slowly to the stage, his clothes were slightly blown by the wind, and he looked like a graceful and elegant young man!
Even Double Happiness took one more look at this man.
Some people around were whispering: "The eldest son of the Mu family is here too!"
What kind of person is the eldest son of the Mu family? His father is a silk merchant, and he is also famous in Qingshan County. He is now about twenty years old. He once married a wife, but the wife... died before they got married.
The eldest son of the Mu family was such a loyal person that he actually took Miss Liu's memorial tablet and coffin back to his family. He even refused to marry for three years because of the short-lived Miss Liu's family!
Today... why did he come here? Could it be that he has someone he likes?
Everyone was speculating one after another.
Shuangxi didn't know the specific situation of this man. She just looked at the excitement. Shen Mo on the other side of the stage was winking at her. Naturally, she didn't notice the mist in Fu'er's eyes when she saw Mr. Mu.
While waiting for Shuangxi to turn around, Fu'er was wiping her tears. Shuangxi asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you?" Wasn't everything fine just now? Why are you crying again? She was really like her cousin in her previous life, who was all about love. Crying ghost, those tears come as soon as they come.
Fu'er's nose was a little blocked and he said in a muffled voice: "My eyes are blurred."
Shuangxi naturally didn't believe this argument, but looking at Fu'er's sad face, he knew that if he asked further, he might burst into tears, so he didn't ask further.
At this moment, Master Mu had already begun to brag.
The song is faint in the throat, smells sad, and sounds heartbreaking. It also contains lingering affection, but it is a nostalgic song, or a painful lovesickness.
Shuangxi noticed that after Master Mu finished playing, he looked deeply at Qin Yan, then without saying a word, he cupped his hands in front of everyone, got off the stage, and waited on one side.
At this moment, someone came up on the women's stage next to her, and it turned out to be Qin Yan!
Du Juan held a fine sycamore harp and placed it on the harp stand. Qinyan's slender hands played with the strings, and a wonderful tune flowed out.
This frail and elegant woman, with a hint of sadness, played the strings of the piano. She was so attractive that many gentlemen felt pity for her!
Fu'er muttered: "Isn't it just that you can play the piano? What's so great about it!"
Sensing Fu'er's unhappiness, Shuangxi comforted him softly: "Although this piece of music is nice, it has no soul. If you can't hear any charm, it's better not to listen to it!" This is not a lie, although Shuangxi is not.
She can play the piano, but she has a great sense of music and can easily hear the emotions in the music. Qinyan's music... Although she has put in effort, she has no emotion. In Shuangxi's eyes, she is naturally inferior.
.
Fu'er burst into laughter: "Sister Xi! Do you really think so too? I also think this song is awful!" It was a sign of sympathy.
Shuangxi nodded.
Fu'er has told people before that this song is not good to listen to, but everyone said that Fu'er was jealous of Qin Yan, so they came to slander it. This made Fu'er feel a lot of grievance. Although she hated Qin Yan because of some things, she
This song... it really didn't sound good to her! It wasn't even remotely as good as Brother Mu!
Now that Fu'er's views are recognized by Shuangxi, she is naturally happy in her heart! She has almost regarded Shuangxi as her best friend!
"The little girl is showing off her ugliness." Qin Yan finished playing the song, stood up, and whispered to everyone softly, but her eyes found Shuangxi, and she glanced at Shuangxi provocatively.
Shuangxi only felt childish about Qin Yan's behavior, chuckled and ignored it.
This look was directed at Shuangxi. Standing next to Shuangxi, Fu'er also received Qinyan's look, but thought that Qinyan was provoking him. Her inability to play the piano was a scar on her! Qinyan really wanted to belittle her like this.
?
Fuer bit his lip, feeling a little aggrieved.
Qin Yan saw Fu'er at this time and gave Fu'er a contemptuous look: "Walking with that despicable woman is indeed a piece of shit!"
Fu'er said to Shuangxi, "Mr. Nanxi has already promised me! Let's see how long she can stay arrogant!"
Shuangxi felt that he didn't quite understand what he said. Just when he was about to ask, Fu'er's mouth dropped and she burst into tears again. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
