Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 578 Just brag!

This time the wine cup floated over smoothly, and stopped in the middle, right in front of Jiang Youzhen.

Um...just tell me! Did you do this on purpose? It's not such a coincidence, right?

In fact, this kind of Qushui Liushang requires skills. After the wine cup is put down, it will float to a certain place and stop. For an experienced person, the chance of success is very high.

"Oh~ It's Mr. Jiang!" The students here started to make a noise. Jiang Youzhen was good-looking and these people found him pleasing to the eye.

In particular, Jiang Youzhen looks aloof, but in fact she knows how to behave like a human being. She is not arrogant and is very easy-going. She does not put on airs, and many people admire her.

As soon as they saw it was her, everyone started to make a noise.

"Junior Brother Jiang, why don't you write a poem to open our eyes."

"Why don't you write an article? Junior Brother Jiang's strategy questions are often read by my teacher. I am lucky enough to read them today."

Seeing everyone making a fuss, some with envious, jealous and hateful looks, Jiang Youzhen immediately picked up the wine glass in the water.

"I'll drink a glass as a punishment!" She raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone felt bored when they saw it and accused Jiang Youzhen of being stingy.

"I'll invite you brothers back another day. You can speak freely at the literary meeting then." Jiang Youzhen smiled and bowed to everyone to apologize.

Everyone thought, that's right! If Jiang Youzhen wrote a poem, all the limelight would be taken away by Jiang Youzhen, so how could they stand out?

When the female guest heard Jiang Youzhen's voice, Luo Shurou paused with the brush in her hand, and the fingers holding the brush turned slightly white.

She originally thought that Jiang Youzhen would compose a poem. After all, he was a well-known talent. Then their poems could be put together for appreciation, and if some good stories came out, then everything would be settled.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Youzhen chose to drink, and she couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the female guests, and a female voice was heard.

"Grandma, I don't think this is fun, why don't we draw lots?"

"Oh? How do you want to play?" the old lady asked with a smile.

"Why not write a few notes, such as composing a poem or an essay, or even a couplet, and then drink a glass of wine as punishment. Draw the one you get, and you'll get the one you get. What do you think?"

This person should be the eldest lady of the first house, Luo Jinshu’s first wife, right?

Jiang Youzhen frowned slightly. What a trick!

"It's fun to play like this! What do you think?" the woman said again.

Luo Jinshu was the first to say, "This is a suggestion from my wife. What do you think?"

"This is more interesting, yes!"

"Not bad! The eldest young lady is really smart."

How could anyone agree? After all, they were all students, so why should they be afraid of writing articles and composing poems?

A new round began, this time it was other students' turn. After everyone started to cheer, this person drew lots and got a pair.

"Oh! Who among us will come up with the questions? Quick!"

Jiang Youzhen looked at everyone reciting poetry and having fun with great interest, and couldn't help but laugh along.

Song Sheng was very active today, and his pairs were very neat and fluent. Everyone praised him and their faces were full of proud smiles.

He glanced at Jiang Youzhen, and Jiang Youzhen was speechless. What? Are you trying to show me something?

Over there, Luo Shurou finally finished composing the poem and brought it to the male guest for his appreciation.

"A poem about the peonies in the courtyard!" Song Sheng took the lead in taking over the poem, looking very interested in it.

The smile on Luo Jinshu's face froze for a moment, but after a moment, it returned to normal.

He picked up the tea bowl, frowned slightly, and sneered in his heart.

He already has a virtuous wife at home, they live in extreme poverty, and she is older than him, yet he dares to covet a girl from the Luo family?

Except for the imperial family, it is impossible for a girl from their Luo family to be a concubine, let alone a poor family.

"In March, the peonies are gorgeous and their fragrance is unmatched. Flowers bloom and fade for a short time, so don't let down the flower growers in your life."

After reading the poem, Song Sheng praised it again and again, "I didn't expect this girl to be such a talented woman. Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads. For a girl in the boudoir to have such talent, it was clear that the Luo family had done a good job in educating girls.

"The word 'ju' is used very well, it means 'unparalleled in the world' and it also means 'lifting up', which further highlights the nobility of the peony."

"You are truly extremely talented!"

Everyone praised him, and Jiang Youzhen was also a little surprised. If it wasn't for the imperial examination, it would have taken real talent to be able to compose such a poem.

"Haha! My sister has loved reading since she was young. She recites poems and composes couplets all day long, which is considered a refined hobby of the boudoir. The poems are good, although they are a bit girlish and melancholy, and a little small in scale." Luo Jinshu hurriedly said modestly, but anyone with eyes could see the pride on his face.

This fourth sister really made him proud today. Their Luo family can be considered a family of scholars. It goes without saying that the women in the family are literate, but if their talents can be comparable to those of men, then it can also show the family's background.

I didn't expect that the fourth sister, who is usually quiet, is actually a talented person.

He glanced at Jiang Youzhen, but saw that Jiang Youzhen was just smiling and silent. He just smiled and watched others having fun without saying much.

He raised his eyebrows, "Jiang Huiyuan, what do you think of my sister's poems? You are Huiyuan, and you are the most qualified person to comment on them."

Jiang Youzhen was speechless when the fire suddenly burned on her. However, the host asked her to express her opinion, and it would be impolite if she didn't say a few words.

"Lord Luo, thank you for your praise. Jiang has only studied the Four Books and Five Classics. I am not as good as you brothers in poetry!"

Jiang Youzhen cupped his hands, and Luo Jinshu immediately felt dissatisfied.

What? Do you despise his sister? Or do you despise the Luo family?

"Although Jiang is not good at writing poems, after listening to so many famous lines from you brothers, I can appreciate them."

This sentence flattered all the students present, and they all felt relaxed. Even Luo Jinshu seemed to look at Jiang Youzhen differently, and he didn't care so much about it.

"The young lady's poem is wonderful. Lord Luo just said that it contains some of the reverie of a girl in the boudoir. I don't think that's entirely what the young lady meant."

Jiang Youzhen smiled and said, "You have already praised the other sentences, so I will not say more. I will only say the last sentence, don't let down the flower grower in your life. This sentence shows the girl's character.

Flowers bloom for an unpredictable period of time and will eventually wither, but they still shine brightly, while the contributions of flower growers seem to be forgotten. This sentence is a metaphor for people who silently contribute behind the scenes and feel that their talents are not appreciated. People only see the beauty of peonies, but how can they think of the hard work and dedication of flower growers? This sentence touched Jiang Mou a lot, and I wrote it out of my feelings. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me. "

Jiang Youzhen's words made everyone feel deeply moved. They had studied hard for more than ten years and were just one step away from success. However, the world only saw their glory, but who remembered their hard work over the past ten years?

"Girl, you are so righteous!"

"Young lady, you have great foresight, and Junior Brother Jiang is also a humble person. I am ashamed! I am ashamed!"

Everyone sighed, but Tong Huaian twitched his lips. "Go ahead and brag! If you brag about her like this and she insists on marrying you, you'll be committing a sin."
