The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

"The Meng family has Concubine Li and the Second Prince behind them, and their power is huge. Meng Jingchen is a ruthless person, so you'd better stay away from him."

"Meng Jingchen is very scheming. It's best not to confront him head-on."

"Shu Yan said that you refused to go back to the mansion with him. When did you become so close to the prince?"

"The entrance exam is coming up soon. You really shouldn't run out now."

As soon as Xiao Mingrui sat down, he kept muttering in Jiang Tunan's ear. Jiang Tunan ignored him and pretended to be learning with an open mind, but in his heart he was thinking about what to eat tonight.

Xiao Mingrui leaned slightly towards Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan smelled Xiao Mingrui, but she thought, she didn't smell anything. This guy had no smell.

She thought there was at least some scent of agarwood and cedar, and she would smell Xiao Mingli to see if there was any smell on him.

This novel has a standard male protagonist.

"Mingrui, don't talk about her."

Xiao Mingli interrupted with a smile. Xiao Mingrui stopped talking and straightened his body.

"Cousin, as long as you stay with us, there will be no danger."

Jiang Tunan: It’s dangerous to stay with you guys.

"Jiang Tunan!"

Meng Yao's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Tunan and Xiao Mingli.

"Where's your poem at today's poetry meeting?"

Jiang Tunan: Huh?

"Ms. Meng, my cousin is not very proficient in writing, so please don't embarrass her."

Xiao Mingli helped Jiang Tunan to refuse. In Meng Yao's eyes, Jiang Tunan's dull expression looked like a smug and boastful look.

"You are here for this poetry gathering today because of Miss Jiang. If she doesn't want to, Miss Meng, please don't force her."

Qi Guanming also spoke up for Jiang Tunan.

Meng Yao was a little angry when she saw Xiao Mingli defending Jiang Tunan. Suddenly, she laughed out of anger.

"Miss Jiang is very capable, and she has quite a few protectors."

"Meng Yao."

Meng Jingchen called out and warned Meng Yao not to say anything more. If Qi Guanming was upset, it might destroy the future cooperation between the Second Prince and the Prince of Guangping's Mansion.

Meng Yao closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"understood."

"Don't worry, cousin."

Xiao Mingli gave Jiang Tunan a reassuring smile, and Jiang Tunan could only return a forced smile - with a middle finger.

Today's enemy was given to her by Xiao Mingli based on his own strength.

"What does this mean, cousin?"

Xiao Mingli was curious. Jiang Tunan knew the customs and habits of many different places. Maybe this was a unique custom of some place.

"It means to wish you a happy life."

Jiang Tunan raised his middle finger and replied with a smile.

"In that case, thank you, cousin."

Xiao Mingli smiled faintly, and his heart was also moved. His cousin was really kind. Since she came into the mansion, she has been warming everyone in her own way.

Jiang Tunan collected his thoughts and hung his head dejectedly.

Jiang Tunan: Forget it, it’s no fun to tease a fool.

"Today, my Su family is hosting a poetry gathering. I didn't expect so many distinguished guests to come. In this case, how about we play Feihualing?"

Su Lanlan made some suggestions, easing the atmosphere.

"This is good, it's only suitable for you scholars, I won't participate."

Su Yangxu was very supportive. If his grandfather hadn't forced him to come to this kind of poetry gathering, he would not have come. It was boring. Now that Su Lanlan was able to take the lead in hosting the poetry gathering for him, he couldn't ask for more. It was just right for him to report to his grandfather.

"I wonder what you guys think?"

Su Lanlan glanced at the whole audience, and Li Ze stood up first.

"I think it's okay. After all, it's a poetry reading."

"I have no opinion."

Meng Jingchen's mouth curled up, and his tone was a little casual. As soon as this was said, everyone also said that this method was feasible.

"Hey, you guys have to have some fun flying around, otherwise it would be so boring."

Su Yangxu said casually.

Meng Yao became interested.

"People who are not right must be punished. Why not punish her by making her fish out of the water?"

When Meng Yao said this, her eyes were fixed on Jiang Tunan.

Jiang Tunan: It’s bad, it’s coming for me.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Qi Guanming was very worried and felt that Meng Yao was going after Jiang Tunan. Thinking of this, he instantly blamed himself. If he had not brought Jiang Tunan to boat on the lake, he would not have encountered this poetry meeting, and nothing would have happened afterwards.

"It's just catching a fish. Are you sure you can't do it?"

Qi Guanming was about to say that it was not because of him, but was interrupted by Meng Yao.

"But this rule can be changed. The first person to come up with a line, the next person to match it, the number of words just needs to be the same and the line should rhyme. Other aspects are not required. This way it will be fairer to some people who are not proficient in writing."

Qi Guanming was speechless. Meng Yao almost interrupted him.

"In that case, let's get started."

Su Lanlan walked to the center of the room and clapped her hands. Soon a servant brought a box.

"Please draw lots first. According to the numbers you draw, those with odd numbers will do the first sentence, and those with even numbers will do the second sentence."

Su Lanlan first asked the young men and ladies of various noble families to draw lots, and then asked the scholars to draw lots. When the lottery box was handed to Jiang Tunan, Jiang Tunan was confused.

"Do I want it too?"

Su Lanlan said tactfully,

"Everyone is participating, so it's not easy for Miss Jiang to be the only one who stands out, right?"

Jiang Tunan could only draw a lot and unfold the paper in his hand, on which was written "贰" in beautiful regular script.

This is really bad luck!

"It seems that today, I will open the show."

Meng Jingchen turned the note in his hand over and showed it to everyone, with a "one" written on it.

“I wonder who will be my answerer?”

Jiang Tunan raised his hand tremblingly, and Xiao Mingrui next to him raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"What a surprise, Miss Jiang. Thank you for your guidance."

Meng Jingchen spoke in a lazy tone, and it seemed that he did not take her seriously. Jiang Tunan comforted herself in her heart.

Meng Yao whispered beside Meng Jingchen,

"Brother, don't let her go easily. This is a good opportunity."

Meng Jingchen didn't even look at Meng Yao.

"When do I need you to teach me how to do something?"

Meng Yao was a little angry, but she could do nothing about it. Meng Jingchen didn't take Meng Yao's words to heart at all. Not to mention that Jiang Tunan was from the Xiao Mansion, the emperor had just treated Jiang Tunan differently not long ago. He really had no reason to embarrass Jiang Tunan today.

Meng Yao is a fool. All he has on his mind every day is love affairs. As a junior of the Meng family, how can he help the Meng family achieve great things in the future?

"Ms. Jiang, don't be nervous. Just do your best."

Meng Jingchen acted very considerate, and Jiang Tunan was frightened. After all, Xiao Mingrui said that Meng Jingchen was not a good person, so Jiang Tunan was still a little worried.

"The old man is standing still, and his ambition is thousands of miles away."

This is an easy question, Meng Jingchen felt that he was being a good guy.

Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingli also felt relieved. It seemed that Meng Jingchen did not intend to make things difficult for Jiang Tunan.

“Sweep away hunger and be yourself.”

Meng Jingchen:?

Xiao Mingli & Xiao Mingrui: ???

Everyone:? ? ?
