Miss Ma was the first to finish writing, she placed the pen back on its holder, looking pleased, then, one after another, the ladies put down their pens. Wang Zirou then stood up from her seat and looked at each of the pens on the table, praising.

"You truly cannot judge a book by its cover. I never thought that the literary skills of young ladies would be so exquisite. I truly have a whole new level of respect for you."

However, Wang Zirou did not allow the two young misses of Zheng Mansion to judge. Instead, she allowed them to judge the poetry of the young misses, which meant that she did not like the two of them and did not have any intentions of fawning over them.

"So Miss Zheng likes this poem, but I prefer this one. 'A tree of cold plum blossoms and white jade strips', by the side of the village and by the brook. I don't know if the water bloom first, but it's probably the winter snow that hasn't disappeared yet. '"

Zheng Qingluo was a little confused. With Wang Zirou's intelligence, even if she did not like the two ladies of Zheng Mansion, she should not have openly offended them.

Zheng Qingluo suddenly thought of something. Since there was nothing to worry about, she must have something to rely on, the Prefecture Lord Zheng had been here for nine years, then this year she should have reached the deadline for returning to the capital to report. Vice Envoy Wang should already have received the letter and would be returning to the capital.

"Qingluo, why don't you show your expression and see which poem is your favorite?"

She was still a child after all. In order to compete with Zheng Qingjiao, she had completely forgotten what happened just now.

"Since I'm not good at writing poems, I'm not good at reading poems either. The two of you should make the decision."

Zheng Qingluo lightly pushed the question back. Her answer also reminded Wang Zirou, made her recall that Zheng Qingluo did not have any literary knowledge, and made her judge her strength.

"Since Qingluo isn't interested, then let us evaluate it." Wang Zirou blushed a little. She quietly went closer to Zheng Qingluo's ears and whispered, "Qingluo, I'm sorry!"

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Qingluo shook her head. Wang Zirou had already taken care of her to the best of his ability, how could she not appreciate her kindness?

"I still think this poem is better." Zheng Qingjiao did not change her original intention, but of course Wang Zirou insisted on her own idea, "Then you guys tell me, which poem was written well?"

All the young misses looked at each other, not knowing which one to approve of. There were still poems written by themselves on the table. Since they weren't selected, they were obviously unwilling and in no mood to recommend others' poems.

The corner of Zheng Qingluo's mouth curved slightly. Although she was a bit scheming, the innocence and simplicity of this little girl still made Zheng Qingluo feel a sliver of happiness.

"How about I make a judgment?"

A clear and melodious male voice rang out, and all the ladies in the pavilion simultaneously withdrew to the corner of the pavilion and squeezed themselves into a corner. Because the pavilion was small, all of the maids were standing outside the pavilion.

"Cousin, why are you here? Weren't you in the front yard? This is all some young misses, it's not convenient for my cousin brother to come. Sisters, this is my cousin, Lin Hongyi. "

Wang Zirou never thought that his aunt's cousin would come to the pavilion in the backyard. No matter what, it was the fault of the main house for this man to see his wife, but since he was meeting her face to face, he had no choice but to introduce him to the crowd, otherwise, it would be impolite.

She recalled that even though her cousin was young, he was usually the one who loved to look for trouble. Naturally, he came to the garden on purpose, so she blocked the entrance of the pavilion, not allowing him to get closer.

"I only wanted to come over to see my cousin. Who knew that when I reached the pavilion, I would hear the voices of other misses. Just as I was about to turn around and hide, I heard all of you reciting poems."

Cousin, you should also know that my brother usually likes to recite poems in the right way. When I heard that you guys had made a poem, I couldn't even move my feet. No matter what, I had to watch it before deciding to let it go.

The man's voice was pleasant to hear, and his words were reasonable. Although it was perverse, he spoke frankly, as if he was truly only interested in poetry.

"What's more, you can't judge whose poem was done well, so why not make a judgment with your cousin? Coincidentally, your cousin doesn't know which poem came from either, so it will definitely be fair."

Zheng Qingluo turned her back and looked around. She saw a slender young man, dressed in navy blue cotton, with a bun up his head and a jade hairpin between his hair.

The corners of his mouth held a smile as he stood proudly under the pavilion without the slightest bit of vulgarity. However, he confidently and confidently did his vulgar work.

"Cousin, you should return to the front yard. Daddy must be worried." Wang Zirou saw that his cousin didn't even have a page following him and knew that he must have snuck over.

"I only took a glance before leaving. How can my cousin be so heartless? She can't even satisfy this little bit of kindness from my cousin." The person was smiling at Yanyan with a warm look on his face.

He clearly knew that there was a lady from another house in the backyard, yet she still dared to come over like this. It was clear that he couldn't kick her out even if he wanted to. Such shamelessness was extremely shameless.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Zirou became extremely angry, no matter how much of a mess she caused, she had to know the seriousness of the situation, she was the one holding the banquet today, she couldn't let anything go wrong.

Cousin, bumping into the ladies is not good after all. Wait for a moment, I will go out with the ladies to admire the plum blossoms, then you can come in and read the poem. If you write it well, you can put it on the stone table.

Even Zheng Qingluo had to praise Wang Zirou. As expected, she knew that she was unable to stop her despicable cousin brother from acting in such a manner, and so she quickly came up with a solution.

"Alright, then let's take the ladies out for fun. Cousin will only go and take a look at the poems, so I won't disturb the two of you." Wang Zirou's cousin Lin Hongyi also really wanted to see all of the young ladies.

No matter how much he thought about it, it would be a compliment. He really didn't have the guts to do so. After all, they were all young ladies of the Shangguan family, so he couldn't overdo it.

"Then wait a moment, cousin." With the other young misses present today, there was no way Wang Zirou could turn hostile. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and drag Zheng Qing Luo out of the pavilion.

And it was also because of this that Zheng Qingluo could feel her hands trembling lightly. With Wang Zirou's intelligence, how angry must she be to make her unable to control her body's emotions?

None of the young misses spoke, they were all following the rules, with their heads lowered, they followed Wang Zirou out of the pavilion, and down below were the servants.

But at this moment, something strange happened. Zheng Qingluo only felt her skirt being stepped on and her calves being tripped. This scene was so familiar, as if everything had happened again.

No one would know that Zheng Qingluo had already been on guard. When Wang Zirou had grabbed her hand and walked out of the pavilion, she had already carefully observed her surroundings.

When she raised her eyes again, she saw Cara standing in front of the steps with her hands slightly open, as if to catch her. She looked over nervously, so she became more cautious.

When Zheng Qingyan was stepping on the corner of her skirt, Zheng Qingluo had already stopped her steps, and did not let her body become unbalanced.

When she stumbled over with her leg, Zheng Qingluo had already reached out her hand and grabbed Zheng Qingyan tightly, and then threw him out without hesitation. Her direction was definitely accurate, it was the target, the young master of the Lin Family.

The moment she caught hold of Zheng Qingyan, Zheng Qingluo shouted out loudly, as if she wasn't prepared for it. It was just that because it happened so suddenly, she subconsciously reacted.

In order to not let himself fall, he grabbed Zheng Qingyan who was behind him, and because he was not able to stand steadily, he used a lot of strength. Because of her pulling, Zheng Qingyan was also not able to stand straight, and fell onto the stairs in front of him.

"AHH!"

Zheng Qingyan was not surprised at all when she fell down the stairs. Suddenly, a person fell down, giving Lin Hongyi a shock as well.

"Second Sister!"

The moment Zheng Qingyan hugged Zheng Qingluo, she also rushed over, but just as she arrived in front of him, she stopped.
