Is it a show of force
Before coming, Luo Qingzhou had already been mentally prepared after Bailing's repeated instructions.
Hearing this, he was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Madam, please ask the question."
Song Ruyue seemed to be prepared.
She snorted coldly, and a hint of complacency appeared on her delicate face with light makeup: "My Jianjia and Weimo are both beautiful women. You married my Jianjia, which is the blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. You should know how to be grateful. Now, you write a poem with the four words 'beautiful as a flower' to praise my Jianjia. However, none of these four words are allowed to appear in the whole poem. I will give you one stick of incense!"
After saying this, the maid next to her immediately went to light the incense.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and heard what was in her heart: Humph, Jianjia and Weimo's beauty is inherited from me. If this kid can't write a good poem to praise me, I will make him pay!
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
At this moment, the hall was silent.
Everyone's eyes were on him, waiting for his response.
When the lady gets angry, no one dares to say anything!
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "There is a beautiful woman in the Qin Mansion, she is peerless and independent. One glance from her can make a city fall in love with her, and another glance can make a country fall in love with her."
“Good poem!”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Ling immediately clapped her hands and praised: "Sir, you did a great job! The young lady is as beautiful as a flower, stunning the whole city and the whole country!"
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes at her: "Shut up!"
Bailing smiled and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him again, and heard her inner thoughts again: Humph, this kid is so bold, he was clearly asked to do it for Jianjia, but he dared to stare at me and do it! One look can conquer a city, another look can conquer a country... Haha, but this kid's vision and talent are indeed beyond words
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Hmph, just making do, so-so. That's too exaggerated. How can a casual glance make a city and a country fall apart? Why do we need generals and soldiers to fight? Can't you just send me... send a few beauties? You're just a flatterer!"
Song Ruyue snorted coldly, rolled her eyes, and said with a straight face: "This poem is not good, write another one. This time you have to write a good poem for my Jianjia, and highlight her beauty, which is like a fairy. This time, the four words "beautiful face and beautiful face" must appear in the whole poem, not even one word less!"
After these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions.
This is a bit too difficult.
At this moment, the bead curtain at the door of the side hall suddenly sounded, and a maid came out supporting a weak and beautiful person.
The second daughter of the Qin family, Qin Weimo.
Qin Weimo frowned and said, "Mother, you are making it too difficult for your brother-in-law. How can the entire poem contain the four words you said? Even Wang Zhihuan, the most talented man in Yujing, can't do it in a short time."
Seeing her come out without permission, Song Ruyue's face suddenly darkened: "Didn't I tell you to stay inside? How dare you come out to join in the fun with your body? Mother is testing his talent to see if he is really as talented as you say! If he can't do it, then he is fake! You should meet him less in the future, be careful not to be deceived!"
Qin Weimo's fair and beautiful face blushed slightly, and she said softly, "Mother, please don't embarrass your brother-in-law... My brother-in-law has already written a poem, and it's a very good poem. Isn't that enough?"
"Of course not!"
Song Ruyue said coldly, "He married the Qin family's fairy-like person, mother's darling, and your sister! How can a mere poem be enough?"
Qin Weimo frowned and tried to persuade him, but Song Ruyue waved her hand and said sternly, "Stay aside and don't say anything! If this kid can't pass my test today, he won't be able to leave this door!"
After saying that, he glanced at the maid next to him and ordered in a cold voice: "Relight the incense and start counting immediately!"
The maid immediately went to light another one.
Qin Weimo frowned and dared not say anything else. She looked at the young man in the hall with some helplessness and apology.
Song Ruyue snorted coldly: "I'll give you one stick of incense. If you can't do it..."
Before she finished her words, the young man, who was still kneeling in front of her with tea in his hands, suddenly asked, "Madam, can the title of the poem have one word?"
Song Ruyue was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, but you can only bring one word, no more."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "I have thought of one."
Song Ruyue was stunned when she heard this, then she said with a straight face: "If you don't do it well, it means you are teasing me on purpose and being disrespectful to my Jianjia. You should know the consequences!"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "The title of the poem is called Beauty Like a Fairy."
When Song Ruyue heard this, she sneered, "Vulgar! You chose such a vulgar name just for a word. If the following poem is not good, I'll see how you can quibble!"
Luo Qingzhou did not say much, and started to recite directly: "The clouds are like clothes and the flowers are like faces. The spring breeze blows the dew on the threshold and the flowers are gorgeous. If we had not met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."
As soon as this poem came out, the sneer on Song Ruyue's face froze for a moment, then gradually faded away and turned serious.
Luo Qingzhou looked up and saw a gleam in her eyes, revealing a look of astonishment and distraction.
At the same time, I heard her inner voice: This boy... could he be the reincarnation of a banished immortal? This poem... just a few lines, but it's so ethereal... It's really worthy of my Jianjia...
The girl who understood poetry the most in the hall also showed a trance on her beautiful face at this moment, and she kept muttering: "The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces... The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is gorgeous... If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace..."
The hall was silent at this moment.
Everyone seemed to be reciting this poem in their hearts or mouths, while looking at the beautiful girl in a snow-white dress.
The title of the poem is "Beauty Like a Fairy", which does sound a bit vulgar when it just sounds, but when the whole poem comes out and you look at the absolutely beautiful fairy-like face in front of you, it is a perfect match without a trace of exaggeration or abruptness!
Fairy poetry and fairies, a perfect match!
"Ahem..."
Bai Ling suddenly broke the silence and said with a smile: "Madam, the incense is almost finished. Are you satisfied with the second poem composed by my son-in-law?"
Song Ruyue came back to her senses from her daughter's beautiful face and the poem, glanced at the young man in front of her, snorted coldly, and said with a straight face: "It's just so-so, a little better than the last one. For the sake of Wei Mo and Jian Jia, you'll pass today. But don't be complacent and think you are the best in the world. There are many people in this world who are more talented than you! Be low-key and humble in the future, understand?"
After saying that, she finally stretched out a pair of delicate hands, took the tea from his hand, took a sip with a cold face, and placed it on the tea table beside her.
Luo Qingzhou then stood up and glanced at her.
I heard her inner thoughts again: What a pity, this boy is so talented, if he was born in a wealthy family in Yujing, I'm afraid he would have been famous all over the world by now... But it's okay, the Chengguo Mansion is full of stupid pigs who look down on others and can't recognize gold and jade, so it's a bargain for our Qin family...
"Go away, study hard in your room, and don't go out and fool around with others. When the time comes, pass the imperial examination, and you can earn a name for your mother and add some status to yourself. You are not worthy of my Jianjia now."
Song Ruyue glanced sideways, still looking condescending.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head, said goodbye and left.
He just glanced at the eldest lady of the Qin family beside him without saying hello. However, when he passed by the second lady of the Qin family, facing her gentle eyes and smile, he had to bow his head and whispered, "Second Miss, thank you very much."
Qin Weimo smiled softly and said, "Brother-in-law is extremely talented. Weimo believes that brother-in-law will definitely be successful in the future. Come on."
"Humph! Jianjia and I are still here, and you two brats are already sneaking around and flirting with each other! A brother-in-law and a sister-in-law, how can this be allowed?"
Song Ruyue suddenly shouted coldly, interrupting the eye contact and conversation between the two.
Qin Weimo's fair cheeks flushed red, and he hastily turned his face and eyes away, saying shyly: "Mother, I was just talking to my brother-in-law..."
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to stay any longer, so he bowed and left quickly.
There were four people when they came and only one person when they left.
Out of the hall.
Luo Qingzhou followed the same path he came from and returned to his own courtyard.
Xiaodie was standing at the door, waiting for him with a worried look on her face.
Everyone said that the lady had a bad temper and was very opposed to this marriage, so she was very worried that the young master would encounter all kinds of difficulties if he went there this morning.
Xiaotao came to call her to learn to play the flute, but she didn't dare to go. She stood at the door anxiously waiting for the whole morning.
Seeing Luo Qingzhou return safely, she immediately went to greet him happily and asked, "Sir, have you served tea to Madam? Did Madam embarrass you?"
Luo Qingzhou said in a relaxed tone: "I've served you tea. I'm sorry for the embarrassment, but it's okay now."
When Xiaodie wanted to ask more, Luo Qingzhou took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping. I want to go shopping and buy you some candied haws."
When Xiaodie heard this, she jumped for joy and cheered.
The master and servant have not gone out for a long time since they came to the Qin Mansion.
"Son-in-law, you are so kind to me. Every time you go out, you remember to buy me candied haws."
The little girl's eyes turned red with emotion.
Which maid is like her, being pampered by her master every day
"Sir, you are the best man in the world, and you are also the best man to me. I will follow you for my whole life. No, one life is not enough. I will follow you for my whole life and serve you forever..."
"It's too long, I'll get bored."
"Wow, sir, I'm really touched, can you please speak properly?"
"Then take off your shoes and socks."
"Ah? What are you going to do, sir?"
"Let me touch your little feet, and I'll talk to you nicely."
"Woo woo... Sir..."
Outside the Qin Mansion.
At the corner of the alley.
A young shoemaker was sitting in the corner, basking in the sun leisurely, turning his head to glance at the gate of the Qin Mansion from time to time.
