Chapter 341 My Brother is a Scholar

"All those who come here today are the ladies from prominent families in Beijing. Who isn't proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting? It won't be enough for my sister to just paint one picture," said Hu Yingxue.

"Isn't it? Most of us write poems and paint. Will you write a poem too, sister?" Wang Shuyao asked.

"Sister, you want to see the poem I wrote so much. In that case, I will reluctantly write one." Xiao Caoer smiled.

Hu Yingxue looked at Xiao Cao'er as if she was very surprised and asked, "Sister, do you really want to write a poem? Don't force yourself."

Xiao Cao'er blinked her bright eyes and asked mischievously, "Didn't the two sisters encourage me to try writing poetry just now? Why are you doubting my determination now?"

Wang Shuyao smiled and interrupted, "Don't blame Sister Yingxue for being nosy. She's just worried that you might have trouble trying it for the first time. But if you come across words you don't know or can't write while writing a poem, feel free to ask me."

Xiao Cao'er smiled happily when she heard that, and hurriedly thanked Wang Shuyao: "Then I would like to thank sister Shuyao first! With your help, I am sure I can complete the poem successfully." After that, she jumped and skipped like a happy little bird to do the preparations.

After reading so many poems and songs, it is difficult to write a poem, but it is very easy to copy one.

Autumn

In the golden autumn, the ground is full of yellow.

The wind blows through the rice fields and the fragrance fills the air.

Maple leaves dance like fire in the sunset,

The cold dew condenses into frost flowers.

The blooming autumn chrysanthemums add beauty to the scene.

Sweet osmanthus flowers fall and spread their fragrance.

I lean against the window alone and think about the past.

The bright moonlight shines into my heart.

Qi Xingyun was in the front yard, thinking about what had just happened. Yun Yi and Yun Er came to him every once in a while to report on Xiaocao'er's situation.

It turned out that Xiao Cao'er had only submitted a carefully drawn painting at first. However, after the two girls deliberately provoked her, she did not show any weakness and composed a poem on the spot.

When Qi Xingyun finished listening to Yun Yi's report, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly rise. After all, he knew very well the talent and ability of his girl. At a banquet like this, writing poems and painting was as easy as taking something out of a bag for her.

As everyone handed in their paintings and poems, the time for the banquet to officially begin finally arrived. At this time, the male and female guests were arranged to sit in the front and back yards respectively.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the lively banquet ended and the long-awaited work appreciation session began.

The final results were announced. Although Xiao Cao'er's poems and paintings failed to rank among the top three, they still managed to rank in the top ten. Among the works of many young ladies, this is already a very outstanding achievement.

After the rankings were announced, Yun Yi took back Xiao Cao'er's poems and paintings as soon as possible.

Neither Hu Yingxue nor Wang Shuyao made it into the top ten.

When they heard that Xiao Cao'er's poems and paintings were ranked in the top ten, they couldn't help but scream.

"Impossible. A village girl is lucky enough to be able to read. How can she compare to us, the noble ladies from aristocratic families?"

"That's right. We don't believe it. Someone must have cheated on purpose."

"Are you two sisters questioning the seniors who are the judges?"

"No, I didn't question it. I just couldn't believe that the Yang family's sister could not only read, but also paint and write poetry."

"What's impossible? The eldest son of the Yang family is the last disciple of our old man. The other sons have also been studying with our old man since they were young. They are all scholars. Is it strange that my sister knows these things?" asked Mrs. Lu.

Hu Yingxue and Wang Shuyao then remembered that someone had said from the beginning that Yang Xiaocao'er's brother was a compiler in the Hanlin Academy.

Yes, her brothers are all educated, so it is normal for her to learn some words.

There are many people who have different voices from these two.

"I can't tell, Miss Yang." Su Yuwei said.

"The Yang family's sister is really a hidden talent!" Liu Qingwan said.

"That's right. You made me worried just now." Lu Linger said, holding Xiaocao'er's hand.

"No, no, it's just luck." Xiao Cao'er said embarrassedly after being praised.

"Sister, there's no need to be so modest. All of your brothers are literate. How could you be a country girl who can't read a single word? No one would believe you if you told others." Gu Shiyi said.

"Only those who look down on others would think so," said Lu Linger.

A few girls were chatting and laughing here, while others went to drink tea and listen to opera.

Just then, there was a noisy sound coming from the front yard, accompanied by a childish voice.

"Here, here, my brother, come quickly."

"Wait, walk slower and don't be so rude."

Everyone present looked towards the source of the sound.

There were two children dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, about five or six years old, followed by guards with swords and several white-faced beardless men.

"Master, please slow down and be careful with your steps."

Before everyone had time to react, the two men walked up to Xiaocaoer.

"Aunt Xiaocaoer." The two shouted in unison.

Xiaocaoer was confused when being called aunt.
