Naturally, everyone had nothing to say. Anyway, even the prefect’s wife was going to fight in person, so they had no reason to refuse.
Anyway, these chess, calligraphy and painting players can learn a thing or two on a daily basis. Even if they are not top-notch, it will not be too embarrassing.
It was agreed that the prefect’s wife would take the lead, so of course she didn’t run away. After they had packed up and dressed up, they would start performing.
He Jiuniang was gnawing on the duck neck in a leisurely and elegant manner, watching the prefect's wife dancing in the middle of the hall with a stiff face.
Perhaps because I haven’t skipped for many years, I am no longer very proficient in the business, and even make wrong moves. Except for He Jiuniang, almost everyone lowered their heads to eat their own food and did not dare to go in that direction. Look, I'm afraid that I might offend the prefect's wife accidentally.
But He Jiuniang was different. She stared straight at the prefect’s wife. When she saw her doing something wrong, she would smack her lips in disgust. If the sound of silk and bamboo hadn’t been loud, she would have smacked her lips. It can be heard by everyone.
This is the arrogance and arrogance carried through to the end.
Yueyan asked her with some worry: "Madam, in this way we have completely offended the prefect's wife. What should we do in the future?"
He Jiuniang said nonchalantly. He waved his hands and said: "As you just saw, they provoked me first. Originally, I just wanted to eat quietly and go home when the time came, but they refused to let me do so, so I won't let them either. It's better. This is what I told you before, we don't bully others actively, but if others dare to bully us, we have to pay it back, double the amount! Do you understand?"
Two The little maids nodded repeatedly. They had seen Madam's domineering attitude today. They thought Madam would be bullied, but they didn't expect such a reversal. It's really admirable.
A dance is not too long, but the prefect’s wife feels as if hundreds of years have passed and she can’t get through it.
When the music finally ended, she could hardly stand still. Fortunately, her daughter hurriedly stepped forward to help her, otherwise she would have fallen directly to the ground.
"Okay!"
He Jiuniang was cheering and applauding loudly, her appearance was no different from that of a man visiting a brothel.
The prefect’s wife had a livid face. She wanted to get angry but didn’t dare. She held in her old anger and sat down in her seat.
He Jiuniang couldn't help but urge Mrs. Li: "Sister Li, come on quickly, why are you standing there in a daze!"
Mrs. Li froze for a moment, but she didn't expect that she would also come on.
She was definitely not good at dancing because of her fat body, so she said with some embarrassment: "Then let me paint a picture.. ”
After saying that, she asked the maid next to her to prepare the pen and ink. Now she didn’t dare to look at the face of the prefect’s wife at all. She kept her head down the whole time, trying to make herself invisible.< br />
But in fact, today she completely offended the prefect’s wife, and she also offended the previous Mrs. Lu.
The most troublesome thing is that she still doesn’t know about this Lu. Who is the madam? But seeing how groveling the prefect’s wife is, she is probably someone she can’t afford to offend.
But she has offended them all.
In the palm of her hand A thin layer of sweat broke out, thinking about how to save the situation, but at present, there seemed to be no good way.
The maid quickly brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them in the middle of the hall. Mrs. Li stood up and started painting.
Her painting skills could not be said to be good, or even average, and because of nervousness, her hands were shaking all the time, so it was impossible to draw anything good. Works.
But He Jiuniang was still causing trouble at this time, deliberately saying: "What is Sister Li so nervous about? Mrs. Qian said, we are all members of our own family, why is my sister still so reluctant to let go in front of her own people? ”
Seeing her quarrel with Mrs. Li like this, the prefect’s wife felt a little relieved for no reason. At least He Jiuniang praised her when she just danced, instead of adding insult to injury like now.
< br /> Sure enough, she still hates Mrs. Li more in her heart, but she just didn’t want to show it.
The prefect’s wife was so regretful that her intestines were green. Why did she just think that this was a newcomer? , even if her husband’s position is higher than her husband’s, he will definitely look at the face of so many of them and not dare to act too wildly. Unexpectedly, others will not take them seriously at all.
< br />What is even more annoying is that Lu Baichuan is a third-grade official, and he also serves in the Huoyun Division, which King Chen trusts most. In front of the Huoyun Division, their uniforms seem too useless.
Mrs. Li's hands were shaking even more when He Jiuniang said this. She didn't know what kind of flowers she wanted to draw. Anyway, she only drew a few nondescript petals and then stopped.
He raised his head and said to everyone in embarrassment: "I haven't painted in many years. My hands are raw and I really can't draw, so I won't show my shame in front of all the ladies. ”
She has finally restrained her sharpness now, and she is much more polite when speaking. It seems that she really knows that she is wrong.
But He Jiuniang doesn’t want to let it go just like that. She wiped her hands and stood up, walked to the center of the hall to look at the painting, and then started smacking her lips again in public.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, sister Li is a painter, I canIt’s really unheard of and unseen, today is an eye-opener. ”
These words were true without any mercy, but Mrs. Li did not dare to defend herself.
But there was also that stupid woman. Because he had a good relationship with Mrs. Li on weekdays, he wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Mrs. Li, so he stood up to speak for her.
"Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Li said that she was born by hand, so she If you can't draw well, why are you so aggressive? ”
He Jiuniang turned her attention to the woman, who was about the same age as Mrs. Li, and the two of them sat at very close tables. It seemed that they had a good relationship on weekdays. No wonder she was willing to be the one in charge. .
He Jiuniang replied: “So you know the word aggressive, I thought you didn’t! Isn’t that how you forced me to come on stage just now? Could it be that you forgot it so quickly? ”
The woman immediately wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, she didn’t know what to say. They had just asked her to perform her talent with a certain mentality.
< br />He Jiuniang continued: "Why, do you feel that you have nothing to say? You are all at this level, but you still want to laugh at me? Since this lady speaks for Mrs. Li like this, then it will be up to you to show off your talents next. Let us see how capable you are. ”
“You! ”
The lady became angry and was about to curse, but she was pulled by Mrs. Li.
She was completely doing a disservice now, she was jumping more happily now , and then he will die more miserably, there is no need.
Under Mrs. Li’s eyes, Mrs. Ruowe finally went to the center of the hall to dance. This lady was thinner and her movements were not as good as those of the magistrate. Madam was so stiff, she was the best behaved among the three.
He Jiuniang praised the person very generously, but the person rolled his eyes and said that he did not need such praise.
After that, He Jiu Niang took a look at the crowd, and asked a few people who had just fanned the wind to light up the will-o'-the-wisps to come out to perform their talents.
Each one of them was embroidering their fists and legs, not to mention Duo Le, He Jiu Niang Haha.
After all those people finished their performance, someone was unhappy and asked: "We have all performed, what about you? ”
