The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

This pretentious behavior made her, who was always straightforward, very unhappy, and she almost couldn't help but complain.

However, Fang Zhong seemed very excited.

"Look, these are all famous scholars in He County."

Fang Zhong spoke to the crowd who had just joined the party with a look of reverence.

For him, who grew up in such an atmosphere of cultural respect, it was a great honor to gather together with so many scholars.

Jiang Jinhe narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fang Zhong.

"Are these all scholars?"

Although her mind was full of questions, her tone remained calm.

She was obviously skeptical about the identities of those who claimed to be "knowledgeable", because she felt that those who were truly well-read would not show off their uniqueness so ostentatiously.

Fang Zhong immediately began to explain incessantly.

It turns out that in this place, only officials and nobles of prominent status and scholars who pursue knowledge and cultivate their bodies and minds are qualified to wear a spotless white robe as a symbol; and holding a folding fan is one of the indispensable symbols of local literati, showing their unique and gentle temperament.

After learning this, Jiang Jinhe suddenly realized why it was rare to see people wearing such clothing on the streets. This was because the cultural environment here determined that the number of people who could become so-called "literati" was small - ordinary people simply could not afford the cost of giving their children a good education, so naturally they had few opportunities to witness such scenes.

Hearing Fang Zhong say this, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but curl her lips.

"These people are really ruining the white garment."

Although on the surface these scholars seemed to be well-mannered and their speech and behavior were elegant and calm, in her opinion, their behavior was too pretentious and they were not worthy of wearing white shirts, which were a symbol of purity and nobility!

"Miss Song, just wait and see. They'll all be composing poems soon. Their talent is top-notch!"

Seeing the slightly disdainful expression on Jiang Jinhe's face, Xia Fengzhong said proudly in order to protect the dignity of the person he admired from provocation and insult.

In his heart, these poets in He County who were praised as geniuses of the time did possess extraordinary writing skills, and could be compared with the world-famous writers from other places.

Jiang Jinhe snorted disapprovingly.

Top-notch talent?

How about comparing with Li Bai and Du Fu?

Although she had never witnessed the demeanor of those two famous masters in history with her own eyes, she always felt that something was wrong when looking at the faces of these men in front of her; especially after comparing them with her childhood sweetheart Song Wenqin, she could feel the difference more clearly - the latter was not only gentle and kind in character but also had profound and broad knowledge. In her mind, no one could replace his position!

At this time, a dozen women in white clothes were seen driving a group of red-crowned cranes into the ice rink.

These cranes are graceful and their red feathers on their heads are clearly visible.

The unique aura they exuded as they moved and the accompanying bursts of clear sounds instantly added a touch of dreaminess to the already lively atmosphere, which amazed everyone!

Jiang Jinhe was very surprised when he saw this scene.

These extraordinarily beautiful creatures, the red-crowned cranes, appear ethereal and mysterious, like messengers from another world. In fact, they are extremely aloof and difficult to approach. If they encounter a stranger trying to approach them, they will even attack to protect their own safety!

Obviously, these women in white have been living with these cranes for a long time to achieve such an amazing understanding.

Their every move seemed to be in tune with the cranes.

When the women in white entered, the round-faced men immediately started talking.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and admiration, and the communication between them seemed to become extremely heated.

"Look, that's Yu Niao."

"Oh, Yuniao has become even more beautiful. Look at her demeanor and expression. She is simply like a crane elf. Every movement and every look exudes an extraordinary aura."

"If I can compose a good poem today, I will choose Yuniao as my partner."

A young man said with a dreamy glint in his eyes.

"Yu Niao is mine. Don't you already have two concubines? Why are you still not satisfied?"

Another young man argued.

"Don't you have a room too?"

The third person shot back unconvinced.

"That's at least one less than me!"

The second young man said this arrogantly, as if this made him better than the others.

"..." The air suddenly became quiet, with only occasional snickers. It was obvious that everyone was familiar with such conversations.

Jiang Jinhe followed the scholars' gaze and saw a woman in white standing out among the group of women.

The quiet and elegant temperament that emanates from her makes even the surrounding cranes look inferior.

Her beauty is so natural, like a moving painting.

Ah, why do I feel like something is wrong with my mood? Why do I feel like I am not here to watch the dancing cranes, but to watch these beautiful women.

"Fang Zhong, what do these women do?"

Jiang Jinhe turned to the man next to him and asked, his heart full of doubts.

Although she was also a beauty, the scene before her still made her feel fresh and strange.

Fang Zhong had obviously heard the discussion among the people nearby and immediately smiled before beginning to explain in detail, "Miss Song might not be aware, but these are girls who are responsible for raising cranes, known as crane-raising girls. Actually, when we talk about watching cranes dance on the ice, it also includes appreciating the performances of these women."

"You mean to say that these cranes and these women will perform together on this ice?"

Jiang Jinhe asked what was on his mind and received a nod of confirmation from Fang Zhong.

This answer instantly made her lose interest in what was about to happen.

She did not want to watch other women show off their beauty, because she herself was an extremely outstanding person; on the contrary, she just wanted to quietly watch the cranes flying freely and enjoy the rare sense of relaxation and pleasure.

In her memories of her previous life, she had witnessed countless performances by beautiful women in various forms; so at this moment, there was no need to come to this cold place and suffer unnecessary trouble.

But Fang Zhong obviously didn't notice the subtle changes in the girl's heart. He continued to talk about the content of the program that was about to begin:

"The girl named Yuniao they mentioned just now is recognized as the most outstanding among all the girls responsible for raising cranes."

"After the performance, whoever can write the most beautiful poem will be able to take this woman away and decide her future for themselves."

"Decide your own future?"
