Chapter 338: Can you read?
"Sister Yingxue, didn't your group lose just now? It should have been the three of you who were writing poems, so why did the winners have to write the poems?" Su Yuwei asked with a smile.
"That's right, I can't afford to lose. You were the one who proposed this game, and now that you've lost you don't want to admit it?" Lu Linger said.
At this time, a group of old ladies also came over. They saw that everyone had not left after being here for such a long time. Old Lady Zheng was worried about Xiao Cao'er and wanted to come and see for herself. The other old ladies also wanted to come out for a walk after seeing that they had been sitting inside for so long, and by the way, see what trouble these young ladies had caused.
Seeing the old lady coming out, Hu Yingxue was the first to rush to her grandmother, holding her hand and saying, "Grandma, this little girl cheated in the game and refused to admit it."
"Which girl is so ignorant?" Old Madam Hu made a conclusion after listening to Hu Yingxue's one-sided story.
Madam Zheng took Xiao Cao'er's hand and asked, "Xiao Cao'er, are you okay?"
"Madam, Xiaocao'er is fine." Xiaocao'er said while supporting Madam Zheng's hand.
"What could happen to her? We didn't do anything to her." Wang Shuyao said with a pout.
The Crown Prince's wife asked her daughter to tell the old ladies in detail what had just happened, including the fact that they had previously described Xiao Cao'er as a country girl and doubted her attire.
After hearing Liu Qingwan's words, Madam Zheng, Madam Tang, and Madam Su said in unison: "Nonsense."
"The Hu family is very well-educated." Old Madam Su said with a stern face.
"A young lady who knows nothing about anything actually said such words. It really opened my eyes." Old Madam Tang said with an unhappy look on her face.
Madam Hu retorted, "My daughter Xue'er is not wrong. Isn't she from the countryside? How can a wild girl from the countryside afford to wear such an outfit?"
"How come I didn't know that our girl couldn't even afford such an outfit? I'll have to ask that brat of ours how he runs his business. My sister has given him so many ideas for his business, but he can't even afford a set of clothes." Old Madam Zheng
Outside, we can't say that Xiaocao has come up with something new, we can only say that she has given Zheng Hua clear ideas.
"So what if you're from the countryside? Whose family has been made of peasants for three generations? You're looking down on people." Old Madam Su glanced at Old Madam Hu and said.
All the old ladies present knew that Minister Hu was a poor student in his past. It was only after he passed the imperial examination and made decades of hard work that he finally reached the position of Minister today.
Among the old ladies who were speaking, except for Old Madam Hu, the other old ladies, Madam Zheng, Madam Tang, and Madam Su, all came from prominent families. None of them looked down on Xiao Cao'er who came from the countryside. Instead, it was Old Madam Hu who came from the countryside who looked down on Xiao Cao'er.
"Since some people are questioning the result just now, I think it would be better to have the competition again. What do you think?" said Old Lady Liu.
"Yes, let's try again." Hu Yingxue was the first to agree. She didn't believe that Yang Xiaocao could be so lucky three times.
Madam Zheng and the others looked at their granddaughters, only to see them gathered together and whispering.
"Sister Yuwei, I think it's a good idea to compete again, but I don't know if the sisters' mood has been affected by them." Lu Linger said.
"I'm OK."
"That's okay with me too."
"I don't have any either. It's just writing poems. Who doesn't have a few poems in his belly?" The young lady in the same group with Xiaocao'er was called Gu Shiyi, and her grandfather was a doctor in the Ministry of War.
Ever since the new weapon was made, several key leaders in their Ministry of War already knew that the blueprint was given by Miss Yang. Knowing that there would be a banquet, her grandfather specifically instructed them to make friends with Miss Yang if they met her.
"If everyone has no objection, let's compete again. If we lose in the end, it's no big deal." Xiao Cao'er winked at everyone mischievously.
The pot-tossing game started again. Hu Yingxue stood next to Xiao Cao'er and sneered, "Sister Yang, you must play well. Don't lose and not even be able to write a poem. That would be embarrassing."
"Sister Yang, can you write poetry? Oh, no, I should ask Sister Yang if you can read?" Wang Shuyao asked with a proud look on her face.
"You two sisters, do you want to know? Then you guys win soon and I'll tell you." Xiao Cao'er answered with a mysterious look on her face, and then she picked up the arrow and prepared to throw it.
Xiao Cao'er glanced at Wang Shuyao and Hu Yingxue out of the corner of her eye. They looked like they were about to do something bad. Xiao Cao'er then walked up to Lu and whispered something in her ear.
Mrs. Lu came out and said, "Let's make the distance between the pots wider. The person whose turn it is should go forward, and the others should stand back a little, so that everyone can see clearly, to avoid people accusing you of cheating. This will only waste time."
"Yes, yes, yes, everyone please move back a little so you can see more clearly." Several old ladies agreed.
Wang Shuyao and Hu Yingxue glared at Xiao Caoer.
Ha, Xiaocaoer really guessed it right, they really wanted to do something bad to her. When you are throwing pots, touching you will affect your hit rate.
