I just want to die of old age

Chapter 75: The Fight in the Marquis' Mansion - Cannon Fodder, Real Gold 7

Su Mingyu showed a guilty look and said, "It's all my fault. Yuzhu suffered so much outside."

At this time, Feng Yulian finally wised up. She hurriedly said, "Sister Mingyu has nothing to do with this matter. She was just a baby who couldn't speak at that time."

When others thought about it carefully, it seemed that they were not wrong. After all, she was just a baby and it was not her fault.

Sometimes you can only say it's fate.

Su Mingyu was still very sad, her crystal tears fell out, she cried like a pear blossom in the rain, heartbroken.

"I shouldn't stay in the Marquis' Mansion. I'm bothering my sister, but I can't bear to leave my father and mother, and this home."

When Su Mingyu's admirer heard this, he immediately thought that the whole thing was a trick of mine, and hurried over to help.

"This matter has nothing to do with Miss Su. It was an accident."

"That's right. It has nothing to do with Miss Su. Haven't you already come back? Why are you being so aggressive?" One of the men yelled at me angrily.

When I heard this, my expression didn't change, but my fists were clenched and making a rattling sound, and I looked at him with a cold face.

"From what you said, it seems like it's my fault."

As soon as he said this, he found that everyone looked at him with contempt.

He said angrily, "You are just pretending to cause us to misunderstand."

I shrugged calmly and said with a relaxed look: "Originally, this matter is not a big deal now. I didn't say a word. It's you who insisted on making it worse."

Guo Shaojie is the youngest son of the Minister of War. He is usually loved and spoiled at home, and is also domineering in the capital.

He saw that he was speechless after being confronted by a woman. He was so angry and humiliated that he could no longer hold back his temper and was about to slap her.

At this time, the eldest princess arrived and saw the mess. She angrily said, "This is a poetry gathering, not your arena for fighting."

When Guo Shaojie saw the eldest princess, his anger immediately disappeared and he bowed his head to admit his mistake.

After all, she is the eldest princess, and he still has some sense. Some people can be offended, but some must not be offended.

I glanced at the eldest princess. She had decent manners, noble temperament, and was very well maintained. You couldn't tell her age at all.

The princess also looked at me at this time, and happened to meet my eyes. Our eyes met for a moment, and she smiled: "Are you the daughter of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion who is living outside?"

"Yes, Yuzhu greets the eldest princess. May your princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years." I bowed respectfully.

"The jade bamboo is like a screen, and the spotted clothes are like a horse. Every word in the new poem is elegant and has a good name."

At this time, the nanny beside the eldest princess whispered: "Princess, the time has come."

Seeing this, the eldest princess sat on a carved mahogany chair and announced the start of the poetry reading.

I found a corner and sat down. The table was already filled with a wide variety of delicious food. I enjoyed the talent show while eating the food.

Su Mingyu saw that I looked very comfortable, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She secretly winked at Feng Yulian.

Feng Yulian saw that she understood what he meant, and quickly stood up and said, "Princess, this poetry gathering is not interesting enough. I have a suggestion. Is it acceptable?"

The eldest princess was feeling bored, so she nodded in agreement when she saw someone making a suggestion.

"Come and listen."

"We can learn from the "pass the flower" game, where the flower ball is passed around while beating drums, and whoever the flower ball reaches will have to write a poem."

The princess thought the suggestion was a good one, so she agreed and ordered her servants to prepare the items.

I raised my head slightly, the corners of my lips slightly raised, and thought silently in my heart: It's finally here.

After a while, everything was ready and the game started. There were drum beats on the field and the ball was passed quickly. Until the ball was steadily put into my hand, the drum beats suddenly stopped.

When they saw the bouquet resting on my hand, they covered their lips with their silk scarves and laughed.

"Princess, this Miss Yuzhu has just been found. I don't know if she can recognize all the characters yet."

"Yeah, let alone writing poetry, so don't come out and embarrass yourself."

"I don't know if I can hold a brush."

“Maybe it’s better than when I was 3 years old.”

In an instant, the field was filled with laughter, and everyone started to mock me, waiting to see my performance.

If I really back down today, tomorrow people in the market will spread the word that I am illiterate and timid.

I faced all the ridicule calmly, looked at them coldly, but raised the corners of my lips slightly and said, "Princess, please ask a question."

I said this in a confident tone, looking at the eldest princess with a determined look.

The eldest princess looked at me with a hint of admiration, but still asked, "Are you sure?"

"Princess, although I am not well-versed in martial arts, I am not afraid of anything."

The princess nodded silently and took out a topic from the paper: "Ode to Chrysanthemum"

Under the gaze of everyone, Guo Shaojie sneered. His arrogant and rude attitude was unbearable.

"You'd better step down and stop embarrassing yourself up there."

I looked at him impatiently, my lips slightly curled, annoying flies.

"Princess, since Master Guo wants to go on stage so much, why don't we have a competition between the two of us? It will be more interesting."

The princess' lips curled up slightly, and she laughed like a silver bell and said, "Okay, this is more interesting. I'll add another trick."

The eldest princess placed a precious jade pendant tied around her waist on the table, and the winner could take it.

When Guo Shaojie saw the jade pendant, his eyes lit up. It was a jade pendant bestowed by the princess herself. How rare was this honor! He had to get it.

He walked to the center confidently, glanced at me, and gave me a disdainful smile: "You'd better admit defeat yourself, otherwise you will be accused of bullying a weak woman like you."

At this moment, Su Mingyu looked at me with a worried look: "Sister Yuzhu, don't be so stubborn."

I just said softly, "I can." and didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Guo Shaojie said with even more disdain: "Look, Miss Mingyu is so nice to you, but you don't know how kind she is."

I just rolled my eyes at him, he is a naive and innocent person, a bootlicker, not even the right supporting actor. Other supporting actors at least have the audience's love, but he can only annoy people.

When Guo Shaojie saw the furious look in my eyes, he secretly swore, "Let's see how you perform later. I will definitely make sure you don't lose face today."

We picked up the brushes on the table and began to write poetry silently. While Guo Shaojie was still thinking, I picked up the brush and wrote with my hand.

The autumn chrysanthemums are of beautiful color, and we pick their flowers in the dew.

Forget about worrying things in general, far away from my worldly feelings.

Although it is all alone, the cup is full and the pot tilts itself.

Every day the flock moves, and the homecoming bird approaches the forest.

I whistle and laugh proudly under the east pavilion, and feel happy to have this life.

When the princess saw that I thought of a poem so quickly, she became curious and couldn't help but come down to check.

She looked at the poem on my paper, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she couldn't help shouting: "What a good poem! This poem only exists in heaven, and it is rare to hear it in the world."
