Fast Transmigration: Embarrassed

Chapter 72 The Stunning Prince’s Ugly Consort (18)

The ladies who were whispering, simply stood up one after another, squeezing each other to look lively, just like aunts robbing cheap vegetables in the vegetable market.

"Hey, hey! Did you hear that 'Ugly Miss' is here!"

"Where is it? Oh, don't block me, let me take a good look!"

"Really, why are you so anxious? It's not like you haven't seen it before!"

"I really haven't seen it. In the past, when encountering such invitations, she always refused to participate."

"You said she came here today, is it because she is in a hurry because she can't get married? I heard that Mr. Mingyu invited many young talents today, and she plans to hit her luck?"

"Hey, it's her? You haven't seen her before. Her disgusting pimples and her body shape are three times as wide as yours."

"Hahaha, Sister Li, do you think the pimples on her face look like toads chattering in the mud on a rainy day?"

"Hahaha, Sister Qian, you are quite narrow-minded, but after you said that, poof, they really look alike!"

Seeing that this elegant literary society was led astray by this "ugly lady" of the Chu family, Zheng Mingyan felt extremely depressed.

Hmph, it's her big brother, why does she insist on inviting this ugly monster to her Wenhui to make trouble?Wouldn't it be good to let her hide at home and toss the servants?Don't let it out to be annoying.

Zheng Mingyan's nature is not bad, and she even has the temperament to speak out for justice.It's just that today's literary party is a little special. Her brother has invited someone she cares about.

Therefore, today she is bound to hold this essay meeting well, and to win the first place, so that that person will look at her with admiration.

Zheng Mingyan hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly greeted him out of the flower hall behind, followed by a bunch of little tails who wanted to watch the excitement.

Chu Ci and Chu Rou were almost at the entrance of the flower hall, only to see Zheng Mingyan who came out slowly, and a group of laughing and laughing daughters behind.

"Arou, where's your older sister?"

Zheng Mingyan saw a strange woman with an ordinary appearance and figure standing beside Chu Rou. She saluted first, then pulled Chu Rou over and asked.

The ladies behind also asked her variously:

"Yes, isn't your sister also here? Where is she?"

"Don't regret it after arriving, and dare not show up?"

"Hey, who is this elder sister? She has a very strange face. Is she a relative who just came to your family recently?"

With a smile all over her face, Chu Rou looked at Chu Ci with complicated eyes, then took her hand affectionately, and said to the girls, "You ask my sister Chu Ci? Isn't she right here!"

The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds before a lady broke the strange atmosphere with laughter.

"Pfft... Ah Rou, you really know how to joke, who doesn't know that your sister is as fat as a lump, how can she look like this sister?"

The other ladies also expressed their disbelief: "That's right, I heard that not long ago, Miss Chu knocked King An into the river! That figure must be stronger than a cow!"

"Well, I've also heard that the young master of the Zhang family was so frightened that he became ill for several days!"

"Arou, you are so narrow-minded. You lied to us with such lies that are easy to spot!"

Chu Ci looked at the full-fledged, smart-minded mean people in front of him speechlessly, and sighed softly: "Oh, these days, no one believes the truth. Ding Xiang!"

"Yes, miss."

"Show the invitation to all the ladies from famous families."

"Yes, miss!"

Ding Xiang took out the invitation and handed it to Zheng Mingyan respectfully. Several ladies immediately gathered around it.

"Ahem..." Zheng Mingyan coughed twice, and handed the invitation back to Ding Xiang in embarrassment, "Sister Chu, everyone was just joking, follow me to the flower hall to have a cup of tea and have a rest. Time is not up It's early, and everyone will be able to read in a while."

With a half-smile, Chu Ci glanced at the stunned ladies and daughters, and said with a smile: "What my sister said is that it's getting late, sisters, don't stand here, go back and sit down. "

Zheng Mingyan's face was flushed, today she was meeting at her own home, and her poor hospitality made her look the most disgraceful.

When they arrived at the flower hall, Zheng Mingyan cleared her throat, stood up and gave a salute to all the daughters, and said loudly: "Today is a meeting, and also a flower viewing banquet. I think you sisters are tired of looking at the vulgar flowers in this flower hall. I move to the back garden.

There is a lake in the garden, which was enlarged by my elder brother specially the year before last, and many peach trees were planted around the lake.Now is the time when the flowers are blooming the most. We can enjoy the flowers and write poems by the lake. If there are sisters who are willing, they can also go boating on the lake.Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to enjoy the scenery and chant poems with the gentle breeze? "

Of course, the girls followed the host as they pleased, and they all agreed and went to the back garden together.Zheng Mingyan had already ordered his servants to set up the couches and tables, and the tea, fruits and snacks on them had also been replaced.

Since they are able to write, after exchanging greetings for a while, the tea and snacks on the table were removed and replaced with pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Zheng Mingyan simply said a few words on the scene, and let everyone play freely. With the theme of peach blossoms, they can write poems, songs and Fu, and the time limit for a stick of incense is limited.The only caveat is that no one is allowed to write their name on the paper.

All the girls know that there are still many young talents sitting in this mansion.In this meeting, men and women had different questions at the same time, and then the two sides exchanged poems, read and commented on each other, and selected the poem that each party thought was the best.Everyone does not sign, and only the authors who are rated as the best can claim their works.

You know, at today's essay meeting, more than half of the hottest and famous noblemen and ladies in the capital came. This best is almost equivalent to the recognized number one talented person or talented woman in the capital.

All the self-confident young ladies are frowning and deliberating over every word they write. What if they don't pay attention and get the title of a talented woman?

Only Chu Ci, a "dandy girl", looked at the peach blossoms for a while, played with the hem of her skirt for a while, but didn't move her pen. Several young ladies who secretly paid attention to her looked at her and snickered.

After Chu Rou finished her poem, she looked at Chu Ci's white scroll and seemed a little unbearable. She sneaked closer to Chu Ci and whispered: "If sister hasn't prepared it yet, you might as well ask me to give it to her..."

Chu Ci shook his head: "Don't worry about my sister."

Chu Rou sighed helplessly, and slowly returned to her position.After a while, she thought about it again, and quietly wrote a Peach Blossom Fu on another piece of paper.

Chu Rou's idea is that in this kind of occasion, of course, her younger sister can't be like that ignorant older sister, she must be more considerate, more modest and magnanimous.

As for the two poems having the same style and the same font, it was easy for others to spot it, haha, but there was nothing she could do about it.
