Just by listening to his son's thoughts, Jiang Ying roughly guessed what had happened earlier.
I guess it will only take a few minutes for Yan Zhuo to pass the level~
Lu Yanran and the others were still calm with the old man, especially Yue Weimo, who saw that Mu Zijin looked a little nervous and jumped in front of them like a monkey.
"Hey, relax, it won't be that fast. Generally, the more prestigious the family, the more pedantic rules they have. It's still early for the auspicious time, and we might all take a nap before they even show up."
But just as she finished her words, the sound of messy footsteps was heard in the yard.
Pei Wenting even chuckled in amusement, "Miss Yue loves to sleep so much, she shouldn't have come along to see her off."
Yue Weimo, “…”
The little girl's pretty face turned red inexplicably the moment she turned around.
There were more than a dozen children from aristocratic families, all wearing red and blue clothes, with large areas of blue and small amounts of red embellishments, which made them look elegant and disciplined.
Like a well-organized team.
Jiang Ying found it funny. It seemed that Yan Zhuo had remembered what she had casually mentioned about the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and that was why he made such arrangements.
He himself was wearing a red robe, looking flamboyant and conspicuous, but no one would say he was arrogant today.
The others behind him, such as Pei Wenting, were all handsome young men among the best in the capital, making the group even more pleasing to the eye.
With a bang, Yue Weimo closed the door!
"Whether I send you off to get married or not is none of your business. Just do your own thing!" Yue Weimo said angrily.
The men outside the door were suddenly stunned. They probably couldn't believe that they looked so good, with heavy purses hanging on their hands and arms. Why didn't the bride's sisters give them face?
"Your Highness, Brother Pei, this..." Someone looked embarrassed and was in a dilemma.
Yan Zhuo didn't say anything, just glanced at the sky casually. It was still early, so there was still time for them to play.
Just now in the front hall, everyone was a big man, so of course he cut the Gordian knot quickly, otherwise if he was really stopped, how embarrassed would he be?
It’s different later on.
The female relatives just wanted to test and play tricks on him, so if he satisfied them on the surface, it would be equivalent to satisfying his family member Yingying, so why not?
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy and show me your skills in coaxing the girls at home and the beauties in the Red Mansion! The shameless ones rely on their looks, the shameless ones rely on their mouths, or at least give me some money. In short, if you can't do what I want today, you must return everything you took from me in its entirety!"
Yan Zhuo said with a deliberately stern face.
Actually, it’s more like playing with them rather than forcing them to pass the levels.
After saying that, he took the lead and stepped forward, knocking politely on the door. "Yingying, I'm here to pick you up..."
Before he could finish his words, Yue Weimo snorted and laughed. "Your Highness Prince Mo wants to take people away as soon as he arrives, but it's not that easy. They say that heroes are hard to resist beautiful women. We have so many beauties here today, and we have prepared a few special levels for you. You must perform well~"
Hearing this, Yan Zhuo smiled helplessly and took a step back.
The others exchanged silent glances, preparing themselves to be harassed again.
"Listen carefully, first question." Yue Weimo was a complete idiot, and the first question was to compose a poem. Of course, she had no idea what the best title would be. She quickly glanced at the rice paper in Su Yilan's hand, then said confidently, "Take 'home' as the title. Within seven steps, compose a seven-character quatrain."
The window frames of the room were open and covered with a layer of gauze. One could see clearly from inside and it was hazy from outside to inside.
All you can see are the slender figures in red, purple, green and pink.
Unlike the best men, the bridesmaids wear the same style of clothes but different colors. Standing together, they look like seven fairies in a riot of color.
As soon as Yue Weimo asked this question, everyone's already tense expressions became even more serious!
They gathered together and whispered, "Ah? Writing poetry isn't difficult, but this requires a theme and must be seven-character. Isn't this a bit of a chore?"
"Brother Zhu, it's more than that. You have to compose a poem in seven steps. Who here can do that?"
"That's right, whoever is capable should step forward! It's time to forget about being modest!"
However, after a round of looking at each other, no one dared to take on this important responsibility.
Pei Wenting rubbed his head in distress and glanced at Yan Zhuo, "Your Highness, how about you handle this yourself?"
Yan Zhuo glanced at him leisurely, "How about you return the Seven Star Plate you stole from me?"
That is an ancient compass, which is said to have been used by Jiang Ziya and is very valuable.
I don't know why this brat Pei Wenting is interested in this kind of thing.
But when Yue Weimo finished saying the three words "Seven Star Plate", he suddenly became alert, and his eyes, like two laser beams, looked straight at Pei Wenting!
He has a seven-star chart? Why? He can't tell fortunes!
She is a serious fortune teller, and she has been looking for it for several years, but she still hasn't found it!
For a moment, Yue Weimo didn't care about the seven-star words at all. He was just envious, jealous and resentful. He regretted that he couldn't go out and grab Pei Wenting and beat him up. At least he had to make the Seven Star Plate for him!
Outside the house, Pei Wenting accepted his fate, "Well, then, fine, I'll try. But Your Highness, let me be frank. If I fail, you can't blame me."
Yan Zhuo looked calm, "Okay, I don't blame you, go ahead."
…
After thinking for a moment, he walked slower than a sloth, step by step. Finally, at the seventh step, Pei Wenting caught a glimpse of a seven-character poem that fits the topic.
"Suddenly news came from outside the sword that the north was being taken back. When I first heard it, my clothes were soaked with tears.
But I look at my wife and see where her worries are. She is so happy that she is unrolling her books and poems.
Sing and drink in the daytime, and return home with youth as your companion.
Then he went from Bashu through Wushu, and then went down to Xiangyang and headed towards Luoyang."
After a seven-character poem was finished, everyone fell silent.
If for no other reason, this seven-character poem is absolutely magnificent, and it is not about a small family, but about a “big family”.
This is enough to show that Pei Wenting has a deep attainment in books, and he is not at all like the eccentric and unlearned person he appears to be.
Some people even smacked their lips and clapped their hands, "Wonderful! This seven-character verse is truly wonderful! In the entire capital, perhaps only Jiang Yuanchen's quatrain can rival it!"
"That's right, Brother Pei said he can't write poetry. That's really too modest!"
A group of people first indulged themselves for a while before knocking on the door to inquire about the result. "So, our Master Pei's seven-word poem is so wonderful that it leaves you speechless, right?"
"If you know how to be polite, open the door quickly. We win this round!"
Su Yilan had the best literary skills in the room. Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her at the same time.
The latter nodded, "It is very good. It perfectly portrays the young man's passionate feelings for his country."
It was because of her that she changed her opinion of Pei Wenting.
I used to think he was harsh and weird, but now I see that he is a gentleman as gentle as jade and extremely talented.
