The plan of Xinxing County Lord and Zhao Shuqing was completed, and they came to the back garden.

In the garden, the banquet has been prepared. There are ten tables in total, separated by a half-person-high flower grille. The guests are seated on the left and right of the female.

The head of Xinxing County was dressed in rich clothes, sitting on the main seat, with Yao Shanzhi on his left and Zhao Shuqing on his right.

Zhao Wangshu was sitting at the fifth table. She didn't recognize the two girls next to her, and couldn't help but worry that they were arranged by the head of Xinxing County to embarrass her.

"Hello, Miss Zhao." The girl on the left took the initiative to say hello to Zhao Wangshu, "My father is a doctor in Zhongshu Province, Liangqiao."

The girl on the right smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Zhao. , my brother is He Chuan."

"Hello, Miss Liang, hello, Miss He." Zhao Wangshu said politely.

As the banquet progressed, various performances began one after another, with melodious music and graceful dancing.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

At this time, a maid came over carrying a tray with a cup of sweet soup on it.

Zhao Wangshu looked at her, feeling like the dust had settled.

The head of Xinxing County made a move. He wanted to pour sweet soup on her, soil her clothes, and let her change her clothes.

What an old-fashioned method!

Sure enough, when the maid walked in front of Zhao Wangshu, she stumbled. Then, she was supported by Miss Liang, "Be careful."

"Thank you, Miss Xie ." The maid trembled.

Zhao Wangshu subconsciously turned his head to look at Xinxing County Lord, and met her eyes. She pursed her lips and her eyes were cold, obviously extremely displeased.

Your scheme failed, are you angry?

It was so funny, Zhao Wangshu pressed the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief.

The head of Xinxing County tried his best to make another plan, "Miss Zhao."

Zhao Wangshu didn't hear it, Zhao Shuqing's surname was also Zhao, who knew what she called her who is it.

"Sister Shu, the county master called you, didn't you hear?" Zhao Shuqing said loudly.

Zhao Wangshu had to stand up, bowed slightly and said: "I wonder why the county master called me?"

"I heard that you played the piano at the warm winter party in Yixing and amazed everyone. , I had something to do and didn’t go there that day, I don’t know.”

Yao Shanzhi interrupted her, “I remember I didn’t invite you.”

The expression of Xinxing County Master froze. , "Yixing, I accidentally let go of your favorite parrot. I am not apologizing to you.", why are you still angry? "

"Shouldn't I be angry? Yao Shanzhi said with a cold face, "If you apologize, do I have to forgive you?" ”

Although the parrot was just a gadget bought to relieve boredom, the owner of Xinxing County released the parrot without her consent, and she was very angry.

Xinxing County The master's face turned blue and white, and Zhao Shuqing smiled and smoothed things over, "Gardenia, this little thing is over. You sir, it's Si Festival today, so please be kinder." "

"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here? Yao Shanzhi said sternly.

Her temper has always been bad, but she has tempered it in recent years, so that some people have forgotten her true nature.

Qin Youzi Ye Ye interjected angrily: "Some people just don't have self-awareness. Even if a pheasant is covered with phoenix feathers, it is still a pheasant. "

These words made Xinxing County Lord extremely embarrassed, and the original plan to have Zhao Wangshu play the piano in public was abandoned.

"Yixing County Lord, Miss Qin. "Zhao Wangshu raised his glass and expressed his gratitude.

Yao Shanzhi and Qin Youzi also smiled and raised their glasses, "Let's drink together. "

The head of Xinxing County looked ugly. She really didn't expect that Yao Shanzhi and Qin Youzi would not give her face.

"Xinxing, it's time to go to Liushang Pavilion. "The person who spoke was Chang Yuan, the prince of Guangyu County, the elder brother of Xingxing County Lord.

Shangsi Festival, a meandering river drinking wine, is one of the favorite activities of princes, nobles and literati.

Everyone moved to the lakeside. In the water pavilion, there were several tables of tea and snacks for young men and girls who did not like to compose poems and did not want to meander to drink tea and sit leisurely.

Beside the winding water channel, there is a small couch with a very narrow table top that can only accommodate two small dishes.

A small dish contains a bite of pastry and a small one. There was longevity fruit in the dish.

Sitting down by the water channel, the maid announced the rules, "My dear gentlemen and girls, today the water is flowing in the winding river. You must compose poems and drink wine in the order of the flowing water." The poem does not follow any rhythm, but it must be related to water. If the poem cannot be composed or recited, three drinks of wine will be punished. "

"This rule is not difficult. "Someone said.

Chang Yuan said, "Let go. ”

The maid opened the baffle, and the clear stream gurgled down, and the lotus lamp also swayed down with the water, and stopped in front of Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu bent down and gently picked up the lotus cup.

The wine in the cup was clear and translucent, like nectar. Zhao Wangshu covered it with a handkerchief, opened the hidden button, and poured the wine slowly. Into the sleeveHidden in a secret bag.

Zhao Wangshu is cautious about any individual food or drink and will never try it lightly.

After finishing the wine, Zhao Wangshu glanced at Xinxing County Princess, saw the corners of her lips raised, and silently lowered her eyelids. There was really something in the wine.

The methods used by Xinxing County Lord are really underhanded.

Zhao Wangshu suppressed the violent thoughts of killing Xinxing County Lord and recited a poem: "The spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu, and all kinds of fine works enter the throat. See you again today in the winding water, and enjoy the flowers and moon poetry and wine together. Tea."

"Good poem." Yao Shanzhi was the most supportive.

Qin Youzi and others also echoed, and Xinxing County Lord gritted his teeth and praised against his will: "Miss Zhao is indeed Tanhualang's sister. This poem is very good."

"The county master is so complimentary." Zhao Wangshu bowed slightly and said.

The second lotus cup followed the water and stopped in front of a young master. He picked up the lotus cup from the water and drank the wine in the cup.

In the Lianzhu poem, the first word in his poem is the last word in Zhao Wangshu's poem, "tea".

"The fragrance of tea curls into my dream, and the green water reflects the skylight. The spring breeze blows in my face, and the peach blossoms bloom, and a clear song intoxicates my heart."

In the following time, everyone They recited poems one after another, and the flowing lotus lamp stopped in front of everyone. Everyone had the opportunity to show their talents.

Just when Zhao Wangshu was immersed in happiness, the head of Xinxing County winked at Zhao Shuqing. Zhao Shuqing stood up, walked to Zhao Wangshu, and whispered: "Sister Shu, I have something to tell you. ."

"I don't want to hear it." Zhao Wangshu said coldly.

Zhao Shuqing didn’t care about Zhao Wangshu’s attitude, “Sister Shu, I really have something important to tell you.”

“If you really have something important to tell me , Come to my house tomorrow and talk to me." Zhao Wangshu remained unmoved.

"This is about Lord Yun and Xinxing County Lord."

"Zhao Shuqing, you don't even know how to make up excuses, so get lost." Zhao Wangshu glanced at her in disgust. , took out a plum candy from his purse and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Zhao Shuqing saw an untouched mouthful of cakes and longevity fruit on the small table, he realized how cautious Zhao Wangshu was, "Then I'll go find you tomorrow."

"Whatever you want." Zhao Wangshu said nonchalantly.

Zhao Shuqing bit her lower lip and returned to her position aggrievedly.
