Chapter 584: Heart-to-heart communication
Xiao Yeyang had been paying attention to Daohua. Seeing that the movement just now did not affect her, he retracted his gaze and looked towards the river mouth below.
At this time, the dragon boat race has begun, and more than ten dragon boats are paddling hard on the river.
When officials get together, they always can't help showing off their knowledge. In addition, this time everyone brought their younger generations with them, so someone suggested that the younger generations write poems to suit the occasion for everyone to appreciate.
This proposal was responded to by everyone, and soon, the sound of reciting poems was heard from the male relatives.
Seeing that the men were having a great time, the female members of the family suggested that the girls present write poems.
This is an opportunity for the girls to show themselves, and the ladies of the families will naturally not refuse.
Only Mrs. Li and Mrs. Dong glanced at their daughters obscurely.
When Daohua and Dong Yuanyao heard that everyone had to write poems and let the men sitting opposite them evaluate them, they immediately felt uncomfortable.
"I'm going to be completely humiliated this time!"
Seeing the wilted rice flowers mumbling, Su Shiyu couldn't help but chuckle, "It's just a poem for the occasion, how can it be so difficult?"
Daohua gave her a sad look and said, "You are a top student, so you don't understand the troubles of poor students."
Dong Yuanyao nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Su Shiyu thought for a moment and whispered, "How about I help you write two poems and you just read them?"
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's eyes lit up, they nodded in unison, and urged Su Shiyu to hurry up.
While Su Shiyu was lost in thought, some of the female relatives had already stood up and started writing poetry.
It was none other than Jiang Wanying.
As soon as the poem was finished, it was praised by everyone.
Daohua lost interest after taking a look and stared at Su Shiyu closely: "Sister Su, hurry up. You have to write three poems by yourself. I wonder if you will have enough time."
Dong Yuanyao: "Let's wait until everyone has finished before reading. We should still have time."
Su Shiyu twirled her handkerchief and thought quickly for a while. She soon finished a poem and immediately whispered it to Dong Yuanyao and Daohua.
At this moment, Wang Maner saw Yan Wenkai waving at her from the opposite side. She looked at her daughter and then walked quickly towards the corridor entrance.
Soon, Wang Maner turned back and started pulling the rice flowers.
Daohua looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Maner secretly handed the note in her hand to Daohua.
When Daohua got the note, she immediately looked around with a guilty conscience. Seeing that everyone's attention was on the girl writing poetry, she lowered her head and quickly opened the note.
Seeing the flourishes on the note, Daohua's mouth curled up, and she said to Su Shiyu happily, "Sister Su, you don't have to help me write poems."
Dong Yuanyao glanced at her and reached out to grab the note from Daohua's hand: "Let me see it."
Daohua shook her head and quickly put her hands behind her back.
Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, "It's not like I can't guess who wrote it for you. I just don't like reading it." After that, she pulled Su Shiyu to continue talking about the previous poem.
Daohua smiled, ignored the two of them, and quickly memorized the poem on the note.
Not far away, Guo Xueming did not compete with the other ladies for the spotlight, but took this opportunity to observe everyone secretly. She saw the little movements of Daohua and the other two, and also saw Yan Wenkai handing a note to Daohua.
only
As far as she knew, the fourth son of the Yan family was not good at writing poetry.
Guo Xueming looked towards Yan Wenkai and saw him standing next to Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan and others. His eyes moved slightly.
When it was Daohua's turn to write a poem, she listened carefully.
The poem was appropriate to the occasion, but it lacked any brilliance. However, the casualness and uninhibited nature of the words were quite consistent with the character of the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
This shouldn’t be done by cousin Yeyang, right?
Since he knows the eldest daughter of the Yan family so well, I think it must be Young Master Yan who did it.
Guo Xueming breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to other girls again.
Here, after Dong Yuanyao finished writing the poem, he came close to Daohua and whispered, "This Baba wrote a poem for you, but it was so bland. I thought he was going to make you a big hit."
Rice Flower: "You know what? I'm not good at writing poetry, and many people know it. But I suddenly wrote a masterpiece out of the blue. Isn't this intentional to tell others that I cheated? This is just right."
Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, "He does understand you." Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone calling.
"Look, the dragon boat is about to reach the finish line."
Daohua immediately pulled Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu to the edge of the railing, stretching their necks to look down.
Suddenly, Dong Yuanyao excitedly grabbed Daohua's arm and said, "Yiyi, look at the dragon boat in the front. Is that Sun Changze beating the drum?"
Daohua immediately looked over, then smiled and nodded: "It's Sun Changze. I didn't expect that he would also come to participate in the dragon boat race."
Su Shiyu asked curiously, "Who is Sun Changze?"
Dong Yuanyao was silent for a moment: "He is my savior."
Su Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked towards the dragon boat in front. After a long while, she said, "He looks really energetic, but a little... a little..."
Seeing that Su Shiyu couldn't find the words to describe it, Daohua took over and said, "It's a bit wild."
Su Shiyu nodded quickly: "Yes, it's a bit wild, looking like an untamed horse on the grassland."
Dong Yuanyao: "I think this is good."
Daohua smiled and said, "It's quite good. It's quite different from the people around us."
At this moment, two servants suddenly brought over a box of gold and silver.
Daohua looked surprised: "What are you doing?"
Dong Yuanyao took a look and said, "It's for reward."
Daohua frowned: "Reward?"
Su Shiyu explained, "When the dragon boat teams arrive at the shore, we can grab the gold and silver nuggets and throw them at the dragon boat team we like."
Daohua looked at where the dragon boats were docked and asked: "Why not just give the reward to the people directly? Why do you have to throw it down? What if it throws it into the water?"
Su Shiyu didn't respond.
Dong Yuanyao snorted coldly, "It's to show off their superiority. In the eyes of some people, spending money is a very face-saving thing."
Daohua turned around and looked at the others. Seeing that many of them were excitedly grabbing gold and silver coins and looking downstairs eagerly, she couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong!"
At this time, the dragon boat teams had already arrived at the shore one after another, and the first one was the dragon boat team led by Sun Changze.
Under normal circumstances, Dong Yuanyao would not think there was anything wrong with giving money as a reward, after all, there was such a custom in many places. However, looking at Sun Changze standing below, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought that he would have to bend down to pick up the gold and silver coins thrown by everyone, or even jump into the water to pick them up.
"The dragon boat team is almost here, everyone should give some gold and silver to reward them."
Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
Everyone quickly praised Mrs. Guo for her generosity.
At this moment, Defu came over with a plate filled with purses. "Ladies, my master said that the gold and silver coins are relatively small and may not be found if we throw them away. This would be a waste of your reward. So, I thought, let you put them in your purses as a reward, so that everyone can save money."
Upon hearing this, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's eyes lit up.
Mrs. Guo had a very good impression of Xiao Yeyang this time, and immediately smiled and said, "It's hard for Yeyang to be so thoughtful. Why don't you just put the money in your purse as a reward? If you are not used to it, you don't have to use the purse."
Seeing the purses, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's expressions looked better, but they saw that many ladies were still lying around naked. When the maid handed the box containing gold and silver nudes to them, each of them took a few purses, and each purse was filled to the brim.
Suddenly, half of the gold and silver in the box fell down.
After watching what the two did, Su Shiyu felt that it was not a good idea. If they took too much, others would not be able to take much. However, she finally did it anyway.
Zhu Qiyun, who was standing by, looked at the three of them, then looked at the rowers sweating profusely downstairs, and after thinking about it, she filled her wallet.
Soon, everyone started throwing money down.
On the male side, Defu came to Xiao Yeyang and whispered to him how to make rice flowers.
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang curled the corners of his mouth, knowing that the guy would not like this.
Looking at the people throwing gold and silver balls downstairs, Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes. Although it cannot be completely stopped, it will always be better if he uses his wallet.
