Chapter 28 The Immortal of the Humble House Originates from the Merchants

As soon as Shen Qinglan said this, Liu Rulan immediately darkened her face, Wang Yueying and He Ling were also very angry, and Mu Xingze and the male guests looked incredulous.

"Shen Qinglan, where do you get so much confidence?" Qian Lingshuang was also a little confused and quickly apologized to everyone: "She drank too much, let's continue."

"That's weird, can you drink too much tea?" Wang Yueying said.

"Hey, your brain was squeezed by the door, she...she just started drinking tea after drinking too much!" Qian Lingshuang explained hesitantly.

Wang Yueying was disdainful, "Huh...why do I look at her like she hasn't had a drop of wine?"

"Is there something wrong with you? Staring at people? Why, you can't let go of Mr. Marquis today and start paying attention to Miss Shen?" Qian Lingshuang has always been at odds with Wang Yueying, and she would argue with each other no matter what she said. sentence.

"Since Miss Shen has something good to say, it's better to say it. Don't be irritated and just make nonsense, but don't end up in a worse position." He Ling said.

"That's right, who doesn't know how to brag? I'm afraid if you get slapped in the face, it will only make you more embarrassed. If you say something ordinary and still utter arrogant words, you will have to drink ten drinks as a penalty!" Wang Yueying said.

"Miss Shen, please, you don't have to be afraid, just do whatever you want. We won't force you if you can't drink." Although Liu Rulan's words sounded like she was thinking about Shen Qinglan, they sounded aggressive, as if If she didn't say anything, she would be shameless.

Shen Qinglan stood up, lightly dusted the wrinkles on her skirt, and said, "Listen carefully, my last sentence is..."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for her last sentence, while Qian Lingshuang lowered his head, wishing he could pull her away immediately.

"I stole three cents of the white pistil, and borrowed a wisp of the plum blossom's soul."

As soon as the last sentence came out, there was silence in the hall. Qi Li held a folding fan in his hand, shook his head and read the whole poem together:

The night light chases the shadows on the door of the shabby room, and the evening begins with wine and singing.

Pushing the cup and changing the cup is not enough fun, but it attracts poems and songs.

Under the moon, the red cover cannot hide it, and the graceful appearance is beginning to appear dull.

I stole the white pistil of a pear and borrowed a wisp of the plum blossom's soul.

Shen Qinglan sat down and continued to drink tea. Qi Li said again: "Wonderful! What a wonderful sentence! I admire you. Miss Shen is both talented and beautiful, and she can be called the most talented woman in Luoping!"

"Although Miss Shen's sentence is simple, it pushes the artistic conception to the extreme. It is really a good sentence." Liu Rulin cupped his fists and saluted towards Shen Qinglan, and couldn't help nodding in praise.

Mu Xingze looked at Shen Qinglan with a more profound look. This little girl was actually so talented. He had looked down on her too much. "Sisi's last sentence makes me ashamed."

Liu Rulan drank a glass of wine and said awkwardly: "Miss Shen is indeed quite talented."

"Oh my god, you can do it!" Qian Lingshuang whispered. Although she couldn't tell whether it was a good or bad thing, everyone said yes, so it must be right.

Shen Qinglan was secretly proud, she was so familiar with this question! God indeed favored her!

Her Chinese teacher in junior high school loved Dream of Red Mansions very much. This poem was written by Lin Daiyu in Cao Gong's novel. The poem was called "Ode to the White Begonia". At first, the teacher forced the whole class to recite this poem, but she was dismissed because she couldn't memorize it. I was punished and copied a hundred times, and it is still fresh in my memory after all these years!

"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be named; if the water is not deep, there will be dragons. I dare to ask Mr. Liu, this hall is named the humble room. Do the immortals and dragons have different origins in this humble room of the Liu family? Because it is a merchant. Are the immortals and dragons in my family despised by others? I thought that a scholarly family would not be so snobbish, but it seems that I still think highly of you, but that's all."

When Shen Qinglan said these words, Liu Rulin felt ashamed. Just when he was about to apologize to her, she stood up again and continued: "Everyone, I'll take my leave."

After Shen Qinglan left, Mu Xingze chased him out. Qian Lingshuang saw that the young Marquis had gone out and was either leaving or staying. Liu Rulin looked at his sister and shook his head in disappointment.

There was silence at the scene, and finally Qi Li broke the silence.

"Miss Shen comes from a merchant's family. She is both talented and beautiful. I wonder where she studied?"

Wang Yueying sneered, "Student? I heard that she stopped studying not long after she was enlightened when she was a child. Now she is in Jing'an Normal University. This Shen Qinglan is also a broom star. After just one day of school, she dropped out of school. .”

"In this way, it seems that Miss Shen is actually a genius. She has borrowed a ray of soul from plum blossoms, which is a poem that will last forever!" Qi Li sighed.

"What an eternal saying, Qi Li, you are stupid because of your reading! She just said it casually, but you are praising her so much, you can't think of her as a coquettish person, and you are deliberately trying to please her!" He Ling said angrily.

Qi Li was a gentleman. When He Ling said this, his face turned red with anger. He stood up and said, "That's nonsense! Brother Liu, I'm leaving first!"

After Qi Li left, the scene became even more embarrassing. Liu Rulan glared at He Ling, this stupid thing was simply embarrassing!

"It's getting late, Brother Liu, I'm leaving too."

The guests left one after another, and Qian Lingshuang, who was eating fruit, also stood up and left with the girl.

On the gravel road, Liu Rulin chased after him.

"Miss Qian, please stay."

Qian Lingshuang quickly tidied up the broken hair on his temples and turned back shyly, "I wonder if Mr. Liu has anything else to do?"

Liu Rulin cupped his hands and said: "Today, my roommate and her best friend were rude to Miss Shen. Miss Qian is Miss Shen's friend. I also asked Miss Qian to convey the message on my behalf. Liu will apologize in person in the future."

When he met Liu Rulin, Qian Lingshuang's arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he became like a little girl, "Mr. Liu, please don't worry, I can do it."

"What happened today is all Liu's fault. Liu will definitely educate my little sister. Please don't pay attention to Miss Qian, so as not to hurt your harmony."

"How could it be? I'm not angry." Qian Lingshuang smiled charmingly. Why was she angry about Shen Qinglan?

"Miss Qian is generous, then Liu will give you a ride."

"Thank you."

-

"Sisi!"

Mu Xingze caught up with Shen Qinglan outside the courtyard gate of the humble room.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but want to laugh, but when she saw him coming, she quickly pinched herself and walked forward pretending to be aggrieved.

"Sisi, don't be angry. If you get angry, you won't be worth it." Mu Xingze advised.

"There's nothing to be angry about. I'm used to being ostracized. Who calls me a merchant girl?" Although she said so, Shen Qinglan actually didn't envy others at all. Her family was so rich, what was the use of envying those officials? It's less than one-tenth of her family's.

"I'm not rejecting you, never." Mu Xingze looked sincere.

"Do you dare to say that it's not because my family is a businessman that your family doesn't have contact with ours? Everyone says that we are two childhood sweethearts. In fact, we have lost contact since a few years ago, and my love for you was in vain. Forget about the bad names you have given to those ladies, it’s better to have less contact with them in the future.”

Shen Qinglan said and quickened his pace.

"Sisi!"

Mu Xingze panicked and immediately chased after him.
