Gao Pingping couldn't bear to be ridiculed in a sinister way, and he would get angry when his face darkened.
Zhao Xiyan opened her mouth with a smile: "It can be seen that Miss Gao and I have a special affinity. If it were those people who love to talk and have disgusting faces, I would avoid them!"
Ji Yunshu: "..."
Gao Pingping looked at Ji Yunshu, who was choked and his face turned red, and felt very happy.
If we were to rank the abilities of intersex people, Ji Yunshu would be a beginner, but Zhao Xiyan would be the real master!
As soon as Ji Yunshu came out, he was bruised and bruised, which surprised all the noble ladies, but they restrained themselves a lot.
Su Jin broke the silence with a smile: "Today I have asked people to prepare a guqin, a chessboard, and pen and ink. Let's go and enjoy the lotus leaves first. Later, we will either recite poems or compose a painting. We want to play chess.
Or you can play the piano to kill time."
This is also something that girls often do when they get together.
How can it be possible for girls to get together and not compete for beauty? I have to be able to defeat you quietly to be happy!
Ji Yunshu secretly clenched his fists. This Zhao Xiyan was really good at talking. He would let her learn his skills later.
As for Murong Yan, she was even more eager to give Zhao Xiyan a "good look".
It was Su Jin, who was smiling and smiling, but secretly wanted to compete in the competition.
Compared with her appearance, she is really inferior. However, she has read poetry and books since she was a child, and is good at playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhao Xiyan must show the abilities of a lady from the capital.
Zhao Xiyan saw all the girls' eagerness to try and couldn't help but smile.
Such a grand scene has never happened before in Beihai County. Because no one dared to do anything in front of her. Today was quite interesting.
Just pass the time and have fun!
"Sixth cousin," Zhao Queyu was also inexplicably excited and tried his best to lower his voice and reminded: "They are all targeting you! You must be mentally prepared."
Zhao Xiyan smiled casually and said, "Don't worry."
Zhao Queyu has known the power of his sixth cousin since he was a child. He can see ten lines at a glance and has a photographic memory. After the reputation of the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou, he is also known as the most talented woman in Qingzhou. His father said at home that it is a pity that women cannot participate in the imperial examination, otherwise, in the future,
With Sixth Cousin's talent and learning, the Zhao family might be able to produce another number one scholar.
However, this is all hearsay, Zhao Queyu has never seen it with his own eyes!
It was an eye-opener today.
Zhao Queyu was extremely excited when he thought about the upcoming scene.
Zhao Xiyan really didn't pay attention to the little battle in front of her.
After experiencing the tragedy of life and death, watching the girls leisurely arguing with each other is as leisurely as sipping tea in the afternoon.
Zhao Xiyan walked to the edge of the pond and looked around. She saw green lotus leaves covering the water. Occasionally, she saw a few pink lotus flowers dotted with them, and there were many bulging lotus pods. The breeze blew, and the lotus leaves rolled like blue waves.
Even the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus leaves, which is refreshing.
Gao Pingping called his maid Li Xiaowei over and ordered: "Pick a few lotus leaves and send them to the Su family's kitchen so that the cook can make a lotus leaf steamed pork dish."
The other maids were all standing aside with beautiful looks. It was too embarrassing for her to squat down, stick out her butt, roll up her sleeves and pick lotus leaves.
Iris didn't dare to respond and went away with a grimace. Listening to the snickering behind her, Iris almost cried.
Zhao Queyu was so amused.
Zhao Xiyan also smiled.
…
Half an hour later, all the girls came back enjoying themselves. Several small tables were placed inside and outside the flower viewing pavilion. On each table there were inkstones, ink, and various watercolor paints.
Ji Yunshu had a mellow life, and his hands were fleshy, and he was particularly flexible in painting.
She has worked hard in painting and is an excellent painter. Today, her competitive spirit is particularly strong, so she is particularly focused.
Murong Yan was born in a general family, and her family probably didn't have much talent for reading. Murong Yan's poetry was mediocre. She said provocatively to Zhao Xiyan, "Let's play a game of chess. Miss Zhao Liu will give you some advice."
Being idle is also idle.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Murong Yan with a smile: "Then I will give you some pointers."
Murong Yan: "..."
Murong Yan snorted from her nose and sat down at the chess table with a sullen face.
Zhao Xiyan smiled and sat opposite.
Gao Pingping was the most impatient of writing and painting, so he happened to come over to watch the fun. Zhao Queyu had just started to write a few words, but when he saw such a lively battle, he immediately put down his pen and came over. They stood behind Zhao Xiyan together.
Su Jin hesitated for a moment and came to watch the battle.
More people came over in twos and threes, and there were actually six or seven girls gathered around the chess table.
Murong Yan officially studied chess under her master and claimed to be the number one chess master in the ladies circle. At this time, she raised her head high and confidently said: "We are a guest from afar, I will let you take the first step."
Zhao Xiyan neither declined nor was polite. She picked up the white piece and put it down casually. The jade chess piece landed on the jade table with a crisp sound.
Not to be outdone, Murong Yan also had a sex with the momentum of a leisurely stroll.
Zhao Xiyan's moves were so fast that she didn't seem to need to think at all.
Murong Yan could still follow the moves closely at first, but gradually, the time of thinking became longer and longer, and the moves became slower and slower.
"Sister Gao, why is Miss Murong getting slower and slower?" Zhao Queyu's voice was innocent.
Gao Pingping glanced at him and said: "You can't tell yet, I'm going to lose!"
Murong Yan: "..."
Murong Yan was annoyed, raised her eyes, glared at me, and said loudly: "Watching the chess without saying a word, you are obviously deliberately nagging me to distract me."
Others were in awe of the Murong family's majesty, but Gao Pingping was not afraid. He glanced sideways and said: "If you lose, blame others. If you win, you can't afford to lose, right?"
Murong Yan stood up suddenly and "accidentally" touched the chessboard. The chessboard tilted and the chess pieces fell to the ground.
Murong Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "The chess pieces are messed up, let's start over."
Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly: "That's not necessary. Hosta, pick up the chess piece."
Then, in front of everyone, straighten the chessboard and put all the pieces back into place.
Fifty-three white stones, fifty-two black stones, and one hundred and five chess pieces, not a single one fell, every detail.
Girls: "..."
Murong Yan's face turned red again.
Zhao Xiyan smiled and looked at the angry Murong Yan: "Miss Murong, do you want to continue?"
Murong Yan had never been so embarrassed in public, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Su Jin also secretly exclaimed and came forward to smooth things over: "Miss Zhao Liu's chess skills are amazing, and her memory is amazing, which is admirable. I also want to appreciate Miss Zhao Liu's calligraphy and painting, so please feel free to teach me."
Zhao Xiyan responded with a smile: "If you don't take the advice seriously, please ask Miss Su for advice."
Su Jin happily took Zhao Xiyan's hand and left.
A girl in pink clothes who was friends with Murong Yan quietly comforted the embarrassed Murong Yan: "It doesn't matter if you lose once in a while. Just don't play chess with Miss Zhao Liu in the future. You are still the best chess master among the ladies in the capital."
