"So you are Fang Nanzhi."

Suddenly, a little girl spoke to her loudly. Fang Nanzhi looked over and confirmed that she had never seen the little girl before.

The other person looked older than her, with bright eyes, and looked lively and cute.

Wei Sihui watched from the side and thought that the two little sisters looked quite similar.

"You don't know me, right? My last name is Zheng, and your husband, Mr. Zheng, is my grandfather."

Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened. "Oh, so you are Sister Wanru. My husband always told me that she has a lively and active granddaughter. He said that I look a lot like you. So it's you!"

Zheng Wanru nodded. "Yeah, that's me. My grandfather always mentions you. I've always been curious about what kind of girl could become my grandfather's disciple. He's so serious and old-fashioned. Not to mention the little girl, even my brothers avoid him when they see him."

"Since you're curious, why don't you come to the academy more often? That way we can see each other more often."

Zheng Wanru waved her hand. "What's so fun about the academy? It's full of stinky men going to class. If I go, I don't know how my grandfather will chase me to read. I already read enough at home."

Wei Sihui looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Don't be fooled by her lively appearance. Actually, you two both love reading."

Fang Nanzhi nodded: "Yeah, I heard it from the master."

The two of them immediately found common ground, chatting about what books they read. Zheng Wanru was particularly interested in Fang Nanzhi's storybooks and curious about her medical studies.

As the two of them chatted, it seemed as if they got along visibly with the people around them.

The girls chatted for a while. Wei Sihui thought that this would be boring, so she suggested a flying flower game, with the prize being a pot of peonies.

In fact, this flower is available at any store, but it is just for fun, and the prize is just an extra.

Fang Nanzhi knew what Feihualing was, but he didn't have the conditions to play it on weekdays.

After all, none of her friends in the village could read, and she was very excited to participate in such a game for the first time.

Everyone was sitting together. Sitting opposite her was a gorgeously dressed little girl. Fang Nanzhi soon noticed that she was staring at her.

She couldn't help but look back and saw the little girl raising her chin.

"Your name is Fang something, right? If I were you, I'd tell you to go find something else to play with, like looking at flowers. You have to be literate to play Feihua Ling, do you know what it is? Don't make things worse here."

She blinked and didn't react for a moment. Hadn't they been talking about reading just now?

When she looked carefully, she realized that the little girl had not been with them. She seemed to be looking at flowers in the backyard with a few other people.

Seeing Fang Nanzhi stunned for a moment, the little girl thought she was right and felt a little smug.

"Besides, I've got my eye on this pot of peonies. I love these flowers, and I must win them back. If you mess around here and I can't win, I won't let you go."

"Who said I can't read?"

Fang Nanzhi blinked and looked at her.

"We've been chatting here for a long time. Not only can I read, I've also read a lot of books. Why can't I participate just because you say so?"

Zheng Wanru couldn't stand her domineering behavior and couldn't help but stand up for Fang Nanzhi.

"Ji Qingmei, that's enough. Who told you that Nanzhi can't read? She can read and play. I can testify for her."

Ji Qingmei was unhappy to see that someone was still speaking for her, especially Zheng Wanru, who was usually willful and did whatever she wanted, and today she was standing up for someone else.

She snorted, "What's the point of joining? You won't be able to play for more than a few rounds before you humiliate yourself."

Fang Nanzhi curled her lips, put her hands on her hips, and raised her chin like her.

"Why, it hasn't even started yet? You're not afraid, are you?"

Ji Qingmei saw that she was a peasant, but she was still persistent in her words.

"I don't want to bother with you, just get started!"

Wei Sihui glanced outside. "It's spring now, and I noticed everyone seemed to enjoy my garden just now. So why don't we just do something simple today? Just treat it as a fun activity, and let's use 'flowers' as the theme. Since there are so many people here today, we won't do anything too difficult."

Everyone had no objection and sat back in their seats, starting with Wei Sihui. Sitting next to her was Fang Nanzhi, and the next to Fang Nanzhi was Zheng Wanru. The three of them sat together.

Starting with her, she completed three rounds easily, which was quite simple.

However, Ji Qingmei was a little surprised to see that Fang Nanzhi was still there after three rounds.

Soon, half of the people were eliminated. Seeing that Ji Qingmei was still there, Fang Nanzhi rolled his eyes and started to do something bad.

She sat at the end of the long table, opposite Ji Qingmei, who was next to her.

She still doesn't know how to write poetry or lyrics, but she has read quite a few poetry and lyrics collections. After reading so much, she can't forget them even if she wants to. Her memory is really good.

With the volume of books she read, she could easily find the verses she wanted, and this time she deliberately put the last word on the same word in the following sentences.

At first, no one noticed anything wrong, but after three rounds, only Fang Nanzhi and Ji Qingmei were left.

Unexpectedly, in the fourth round, she ended the poem with the word "moon". This was the fourth round in a row. Even the girls who had been eliminated had realized it and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Ji Qingmei naturally noticed it too. She was sweating profusely and her cheeks were flushed. She couldn't help but slam the table and angrily said to Fang Nanzhi, "You did it on purpose!"

Fang Nanzhi shook his head and admitted frankly, "Yes, but Feihua Ling doesn't say you can't play it this way. If you can't keep up, you can just admit defeat. If you don't have any knowledge, just say so. I'm different from you. I won't laugh at you for these things."

Ji Qingmei was teased by the little girl whom she looked down upon, and tears were about to come out. She finally finished another round, and she deliberately used the same word in the last sentence as in the previous one.

But unexpectedly, Fang Nanzhi answered very easily.

"Late in the spring night..., the oriole cries to the moon beyond the flowers."

The moon is pressed again.

This time Ji Qingmei had no answer at all. She was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up, flicked her sleeves, turned around and left.

Zheng Wanru cheered and threw herself on Fang Nanzhi: "Great, you won!"

Wei Sihui quickly reached out to stop Ji Qingmei from leaving and tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, it's just a pot of peonies, a prize for a game. If you really like it, ask me for another one someday. I can't refuse you."

Fang Nanzhi took a look and didn't want to make things difficult for Wei Sihui. After all, today was her brother's birthday party. Any little quarrels between the girls should be put aside on the same day. If they were left for too long, it would not be worth holding a grudge.

She didn't say much. Wei Sihui gave Ji Qingmei a way out, and the matter was temporarily over.
