Chapter 85: A Stunning Explosion
"You two are very affectionate?"
"It's not really love, but just keeping each other warm?" Chang Xixi smiled calmly. How could she not know that these young ladies wanted her miserable appearance so that they could find a sense of superiority from her, enrich their boring boudoir fun, and also have something to talk about and gain experience.
Chang Xixi's understanding of these things was as clear as a mirror.
She said with a smile, "My husband and I are both very straightforward people. We got married as soon as we said we would, without any twists and turns."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of those daughters turned ugly. Their inner thoughts were explored clearly by Chang Xixi. They were like transparent people in front of Chang Xixi. How could their faces look good? No... They were trembling with fear at this moment.
Chang Xixi also knew that her words were not pleasant to listen to, so she directly changed the subject to Miss Zhang. "Miss Zhang and I have never had much contact. This time, I brought some local specialties with me. I hope you like them. They are not good things, but I hope you like them."
As he spoke, Li Da, who was standing in the distance, took something out of the package. It was a red-painted wooden box. It didn't look delicate at all, but rather a bit clumsy.
Because outsiders were not allowed to see those young ladies, Xiaohong walked over, brought the wooden box, and handed it directly to Miss Zhang's personal maid.
Chang Xixi took a sip of tea and glanced at the box. "This is the silver flower from our wild mountains. We have people pick it and put it in a cool place to dry. Then we put it in a box like this. You can use it to make tea or drink it alone. It can detoxify and relieve fatigue."
"What is this you gave me? Medicine? You're the daughter of a wealthy prefect. Why do you have to give me this when you can't buy anything good?"
"That's nonsense! This thing of mine is not just ordinary silver flower. Drinking it will make people feel refreshed. It can also cure all kinds of poisons. No matter what kind of poison it is, just make a cup of this tea and drink it." Chang Xixiku boasted. She bought this thing on the street yesterday.
After diluting the spiritual spring water, pour it on the stamens, the petals will be contaminated by the spiritual spring water, and then you can soak them in water and drink it, which will naturally have this effect.
When she said it could cure all poisons, it certainly meant it could cure all poisons!
No falsehood!
But these rich girls naturally didn't believe it. Where in the world was there any medicine that could cure all poisons? It was probably the holy water in Guanyin's pure bottle.
The daughter of the Zhang family was tolerant and elegant. She asked the servants to take this thing away. Does this thing really have any effect? If it is put in the warehouse, I am afraid it will never be used! Therefore, what Chang Xixi said was nonsense to her.
Everyone gathered around Chang Xixi and started talking again. "Miss Zhang's makeup looks really good today! Look at those white silk flowers with pink accents. The colors are so well rendered."
All eyes followed the young lady's voice and looked towards Miss Zhang!
The flower on her head was indeed beautiful, and it swayed slowly along with Miss Zhang's body, making it even more magnificent... Then she was wearing a light blue skirt embroidered with a few auspicious clouds, which made her even more beautiful than anything else in the world. No wonder Ruzhou was famous not only for its talented men, but also for Miss Zhang.
Chang Xixi took another sip of tea and beckoned Xiaohong to come closer to her ear, "What does Miss Zhang usually like to do? Which of these ladies doesn't envy her?"
Xiaohong told Chang Xixi one by one that, in fact, the young ladies here were only doing things for show, and in private, everyone looked down on everyone else.
The person who pursed her lips suddenly had an idea in her heart. That is, if she could stir up a conflict between these people with just one word... one word, then she would win this time! Opportunity, what she needed now was an opportunity, an opportunity waiting to be given to her by others.
As I was thinking, the opportunity came.
Zhou Zhiwei was indeed stupid. She had not read many books in the countryside and did not recognize many words, but she made a stupid decision.
"Let's have a poetry competition."
"OK."
Chang Xixi was the first to stand up and spoke immediately: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent."
Miss Zhang continued, "There is a beautiful woman in the south, as pretty as peach and plum."
Chang Xixi was surprised that Miss Zhang could actually recite such a poem, and praised her directly: "Miss Zhang is really well-read! It's really eye-opening."
Next, another young lady came up with a poem, "The young men of Jiangdong are so talented, who knows if they will make a comeback."
"Even though the Jiangdong disciples are still here, are they willing to help the king make a comeback?" Chang Xixi immediately responded with another sentence without pausing for a moment, which showed that her skills were even better than Miss Zhang's.
The young ladies in the courtyard exchanged a few more lines of poetry, and Chang Xixi answered them all. Miss Zhou was stunned and dumbfounded. This... this, this is a woman from the countryside? Looking at Zhou Zhiwei on the side, he didn't say a word, which was simply a joke.
She really didn't have much manners, but she didn't expect... that she could be so stupid.
Miss Zhang wants to play chess again!
Chang Xixi didn't say she was going to let her win a few games on purpose. According to the rules, white moves first, black moves second. Chang Xixi had the black piece, and Miss Zhou also deliberately let her win a piece. Even so, after an hour, the other ladies couldn't sit still anymore!
Finally, Miss Zhang put down the chess piece and said, "You win."
Zhou Zhiwei's face darkened. As far as she knew, Chang Xixi had never been taught chess by a teacher even in the Zhou Mansion. Did she learn it on her own? How could she make Miss Zhang lose ground... This, this is impossible! How could this be possible? She was surprised and sad.
Is it true that I am...not as good as her in every aspect? Therefore, my mother and father like her more.
It’s not that I don’t know the attitude of the servants and my mother after Chang Xixi returned to the Zhou Mansion!
And she had always been the one who was treated coldly. This gap and the unfairness in the dark... gradually made her lose her whole body and mind, and she began to hate Chang Xixi more and more.
Miss Zhang's attitude has also changed a bit. The important thing is that she went from being hostile at the beginning to treating others equally in the end. The competition is still going on.
Until dusk approaches.
Chang Xixi had already made a splash when she left the Zhang Mansion! She became the most famous talented woman in Ruzhou City because... all the daughters of the Zhang Mansion were defeated by her! And she also received the treatment she deserved... The carriage also became what Miss Zhang usually did.
The driver had already driven the dilapidated carriage back to Zhou's mansion.
Zhou Zhiwei followed behind Chang Xixi and wanted to call her, but Xiaohong rolled her eyes at her, as if to say, "Miss, I don't want to pay attention to you now, go back to where you came from."
