I fought back after reselling my engagement

Chapter 22: The Noble Ladies Club

Zhen Rong was worried, what a good opportunity it was. The person wearing the six-tailed phoenix crown was of noble status, and turned out to be a princess.

The princess said arrogantly, "Not just anyone can join the Capital City Noble Ladies Calligraphy and Painting Society."

"I will focus on writing and will not join the calligraphy and painting club." Zhen Su loves calligraphy and painting. She thinks doing these things can make her calm and peaceful. Any resentment or hatred can disappear and she can also cultivate her character.

She experienced the death of her mother, the passing of her grandmother, and her grandfather leaving the capital. She felt helpless and struggled.

In her previous life, she was angry and unwilling to be schemed against by her stepmother and elder sister. Her father's disbelief forced her to be a concubine, and her stepmother took the dowry for her elder sister. Forced into a corner, she said, "I'd rather be a peasant woman than a concubine" just to retain her last dignity.

She picked up the pen and wrote, "In May, the pomegranate flowers are gorgeous, the green willows are heavy with rain, the five-colored new silk is wrapped around the corner of the rice dumpling, and it is served on a golden plate, and the raw silk fan plate has two phoenixes. It is the season for bathing in orchids, and the calamus wine is good and clear. The oriole plays in the leaves, and I am still drowsy, and I can easily break the dream through the screen window."

When she stopped writing, several noble ladies were either surprised or amazed, their eyes full of admiration. She had integrated more than a dozen writing styles into one. Each noble lady had the experience of writing "A Hundred Longevity Pictures" for their ancestors, which meant writing one hundred longevity characters in different writing styles and fonts, with small longevity characters forming a large longevity character.

This poem by Zhen Su is composed of a poem with more than a dozen fonts used. It is quite novel and difficult to achieve without careful thought and effort.

Princess Fanghua said repeatedly: "Guan Ge style, Xing Kai, Wei Bei, Meihua hairpin, Xing Shu, Liu style, my God, I can recognize twelve kinds of fonts, you interspersed the twelve fonts in it, forming a tragic beauty, Zhen Er, I admire you so much, you have practiced all these fonts."

All the fonts are used interchangeably to create different artistic conceptions and emotions, as if every word can come alive. This method was discovered by her when she was playing word games with Lu Xiaomei in her previous life. Later, she practiced hard for four years and slowly figured out the experience.

After reading it, the princess said, "You are indeed talented. You are worthy of being the descendant of Jiangnan Su Gong. You have learned the essence of Su style calligraphy."

Not far away, other noble ladies saw the princess and the county lord looking at Zhen Su's calligraphy. When Miss Su II saw the calligraphy in the hands of the princess and the county lord, she said, "Oh my God, this writing style is very special."

“The techniques of the Hundred Longevity Paintings should be applied to poetry, which is equally amazing.”

The princess said, "You are now a member of the Noble Ladies Calligraphy and Painting Society. We have gatherings at Pearl Garden on the first and fifteenth day of every month. You can come."

Zhen Su was as if facing a formidable enemy. "No, no, I said I won't join the calligraphy and painting club. I won't join, really, I mean it."

Zhou Yiqing whispered, "This is the ninth princess of the dynasty, who is raised by the queen. Don't irritate her, or else if the ninth princess gets angry, I won't be able to help you."

The princess was aggressive, and her momentum suddenly changed, "Say it again."

No one ever dared to refute her, except two people: the empress and the emperor. Even the princes gave in to her because the old emperor doted on her.

"I don't want to join the calligraphy and painting club!" Zhen Su buried his head in playing with his sleeves.

Zhen Rong pulled her with her little hand, "Second sister, it's good to join."

The Ninth Princess is among them, as well as the County Princess, and there must be other girls from powerful families in the dynasty as well.

The Ninth Princess asked again: "Say it again!"

"I..." Before Zhen Su could speak, Princess Fanghua covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Join the Noble Ladies Calligraphy and Painting Society. The Ninth Princess, I, and Princess Changle of Prince Gong's Mansion will all protect you. Your stepmother and father won't betroth you to anyone easily. You can choose your own marriage, which has many benefits. Princess Changle is the most protective of her shortcomings and loves to whip people. Her whip was given by the emperor, allowing her to whip anyone who is ignorant.

The Ninth Princess likes your calligraphy. She stole one of your paintings from me last time. She is the president of the calligraphy and painting club, and Princess Changle is the vice president. In the future, if you want to do anything, the ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and the Grand Secretary's Mansion can help you. "

Zhen Su thought that there was no benefit in joining a calligraphy and painting club, but after listening to what Princess Fanghua said, there are many benefits. First of all, he will have the right to decide on his marriage.

The Ninth Princess said, "Say it again!"

Zhen Rong was so nervous that she was afraid that her second sister would refuse again. If she was struck by the princess, it would be a tragic death.

Zhen Su said loudly: "I join the calligraphy and painting club!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have used up all his strength and immediately turned into a quail.

Ha ha--

The Ninth Princess laughed out loud. She said, who would be so stupid as not to come in? She looked down on other noble ladies who wanted to come in. She stretched out her hand and gave her a hug, "Zhen Er, welcome to join the Capital Noble Ladies Calligraphy and Painting Society!"

Really stupid? She is very stupid, that's her name.

Zhen Rong was so scared that she cried out loudly, her heart almost couldn't take it anymore!

She hugged Princess Fanghua, then the other noble ladies. Zhou Yiqing said, "This is the tradition and etiquette of our Noble Ladies' Calligraphy and Painting Club. For every new member, all members must hug to welcome them. From now on, they will be sisters and friends of the calligraphy and painting club."

Zhen Su was confused. Was there such an organization in her previous life? She had no impression of it at all. Perhaps she had never entered this circle, so she had no idea.

The Ninth Princess said, "I have collected this poem "Dragon Boat Festival Poem" today. It is very good. I didn't know it is possible to write like this. The words seem to come alive and are very spiritual."

I must study it carefully when she returns to the palace.

Princess Fanghua said, "Good Zhen Er, please write one for me too. The Ninth Princess has one, but I don't. I will be too jealous to sleep tonight."

She really couldn't refuse, so she simply picked another style of word game and wrote a famous fu. What she wrote was not a tragic beauty, but a peaceful and fresh artistic conception.

The Ninth Princess looked at the ones in the collection, and then looked at the newly written one. The two styles were different, but equally tempting.

Princess Fanghua said repeatedly: "Ninth cousin, you already have one, this one is mine, you can't take it away, next time you want it, ask her to write another one for you."

The Ninth Princess said domineeringly: "Write another one based on that one."

Zhen Su did not refuse, "There are no two people in the world who are exactly the same. Even if they look similar, their personalities are different. There is no exact same style either, but I can write another one."

"You write it!" said the Ninth Princess.

Zhen Su picked up the pen and wrote another piece. She called it a flower petal hairpin. The words she wrote were elegant and covered the entire paper. She then painted a branch of peach blossom, which looked like a snow of flower petals. It was also a word game, but the difference was that there was an extra branch of peach blossom. One could use the flower petal hairpin to write poems, lyrics, etc.

This time more time was spent. The words were like petals, and each one was different, just like the falling of poems and petals. The poetry and painting were integrated, and the artistic conception created had a dreamy and peculiar beauty. More and more noble ladies gathered around, quietly watching Zhen Su drinking and writing. It turned out that words could become petals, and petals could become poems.
