Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Chapter 21 21 Good memory
"Young lady is used to doing rough work, will you not get used to being a young lady?"
"Miss Tang Ying should be strong. I heard that rural women can give birth to seven or eight children at a time, hahaha..."
"I just don't know if the young lady has someone that I like in the countryside..." The young lady stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, as if she had said something outrageous and quickly changed her words.
"Miss, don't get me wrong, it's just that the servants in my house who came from the countryside have all agreed to be married, so..."
"Isn't engagement popular in the countryside? Maybe Miss Tang Ying already has someone she likes~"
The topic immediately turned into ridicule, accompanied by all kinds of sarcastic laughter. They almost directly said that Su Yue and Yamanomurao were having a secret affair.
You still have the nerve to call it a beautiful name, we are just joking, please don’t take it to heart, young lady.
These ladies were using soft knives, and the assassination skills the original owner had learned over the past ten years were of no use.
Isn’t it just pretending to be innocent? Who can’t do that anymore?
"Thank you for your concern. It was only after Tang Ying came to the imperial capital that she realized that all the ladies are well-informed and can even pick up the nonsense in the village. Tang Ying will definitely interact with you more and learn from you."
Looking at her innocent look, some of them couldn't help but want to ridicule her. Did she understand? Are they scolding her? Are they really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
A few smart people understood the meaning of her words. The emperor and the queen did not dare to be too presumptuous here, so they restrained themselves a little.
Su Yue's lack of food and salt made everyone feel bored.
The performance on the stage was coming to an end, and upon seeing this, several wealthy ladies recommended themselves to perform their talents.
The queen liked to see these girls fighting with each other, so she agreed to them all.
Another round of singing and dancing, these girls tried their best to make their presence felt.
A few bold ones actually cast their eyes secretly on Su Sheng, and the queen's face darkened on the spot.
Wish you good luck! Su Yue shrugged helplessly. Although she wanted to save everyone, she still wanted to forget about these cannon fodder who were sent to death.
The ones who left a deep impression on Su Yue were Zhao Xinrui, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion, and Song Niannian, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion.
Zhao Xinrui performed a stunning dance with beautiful branches, which aroused the applause of the whole house. She is known to love the limelight, and for the Emperor's birthday banquet after the moon, she prepared a phoenix nirvana dance, and that dance made her famous in Zifeng.
In the end, she married the eldest prince Su Ye, but it did not end well. Zhao Xinrui was not a bad person, but she just loved face.
Song Niannian was so generous that she wrote a poem on the spot to wish the Zifeng country a prosperous country and its people. She was a person who knew how to please people.
Song Niannian also has her own story line, let her think about it~
Su Yue carefully recalled the story about Song Niannian, huh? She seemed to have survived to the end.
Shangguan Ruo was obedient and didn't want to be in the limelight. He dismissed everyone with a simple poem called "Ming Yue". Su Yue knew that this was not her intention.
There were all kinds of people performing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and almost everyone mentioned Su Yue in the talent show.
"I wonder what talents Miss Tang Ying has prepared?"
"That's right, we've all made a fool of ourselves, Miss Tang Ying should show off for her, right?"
"Performance? Chopping firewood?"
This sentence caused the whole room to burst into laughter, and Su Sheng's face darkened visibly.
Su Yue was speechless, and she stood up slowly: "Tang Ying grew up in the countryside, and she really doesn't have any outstanding talents. The only thing she thinks is good is her memory."
She really doesn't dare to say what talents she has, otherwise she will definitely be laughed at.
Although the original owner had learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting when he was a child, he was somewhat outshone in front of these young ladies who had practiced for more than ten years and were already very skilled.
Besides, there are songs and dances every year, so why not do something new?
She also knew that if she didn't lose face once, they wouldn't let it go easily.
"Has a good memory? What kind of talent is that?"
"Why doesn't it count?" Su Sheng listened to the weird comments for a long time and was already unhappy. "Tang Ying said it counts, so let's forget it."
The queen also followed Su Sheng's words: "Since Miss Tang Ying has a unique idea, let's talk about how to show it?"
It felt good to have someone supporting her, and Su Yue was secretly happy.
"Please give Tang Ying a book at your leisure, the Queen, and Tang Ying can try to memorize it on the spot."
"Seriously?" The queen obviously didn't believe it.
"Try it with all your strength."
"Okay." The queen ordered the maid next to her to go to the library, randomly selected a book and brought it over.
Su Yue took a look and found that it was a mediocre book. The maid Li'er also kindly lit a stick of incense.
"Since Miss Tang Ying is confident, I will make it more difficult for you. Take a stick of incense and memorize it." The queen's smile did not reach her eyes.
It is easy to memorize, but time is tight, and it is not that simple to memorize the mean within one stick of incense.
Su Yue took her time and moved the chair to the stage. She sat down slowly in full view of the audience and opened Zhongyong.
It's like reading ten lines at a time and turning the next page in just a moment.
In one stick of incense, she read the entire book twice.
Naturally, no one thought she could really memorize it.
A country girl, I'm afraid she doesn't know a few Chinese characters, and everyone is waiting to see her jokes.
Not far away, Gu Caiwei was a little worried. She had to memorize a medical book for a whole day. How many sticks of incense could she memorize? But she looked confident and didn't look like she was unsure.
It turned out that her worries were unnecessary.
When the incense burned out, Su Yue closed the book and stood up slowly, waiting for the Queen's test.
Zhixin returned the book to the queen, who opened a page at random: "Chapter 20."
"Ai Gong asked about politics. Confucius said: "The politics of literature and military affairs are based on the policies. If a person survives, his politics will be carried out; if his people die, his politics will cease..."
"Chapter 32."
"Only sincerity in the world is the great scripture that can manage the world, establish the foundation of the world, and understand the transformation and upbringing of heaven and earth..."
"Chapter 8."
"Confucius said: "As a human being, if you choose the mean, if you get a good thing, you will keep it in mind and never lose it."
After asking several questions in succession, Su Yue answered fluently. The queen was not too surprised and instead asked Li'er to pick up a copy of the Pear Garden written by herself.
Another stick of incense, but the result was still the same. Even Li'er had never read "The Story of the Pear Garden", let alone a wild girl from the countryside? Only then did she really believe that she really had the ability to have a photographic memory.
All the rich ladies have been dumbfounded for a long time. If an ordinary young lady can recite the mean, she can only be considered talented. But she is a country girl, and there is no mean in the countryside!
Moreover, the following book written by the queen herself is enough to prove that her memory is really good, which is hard not to admire.
"Tang Ying showed off her embarrassment." She was so elegant and generous that it was hard to tell that she came from the countryside. Su Sheng was very satisfied.
"What's a good memory? Humph! It's just something that can't be put on the stage."
The whispers below could not escape her ears, and she didn't care what they said. Wouldn't it be too tiring if she had to care about everything?
But what she has no clue about right now is that all the warblers in this circle seem to be hostile to her.
Who could make Xuanji Pavilion accept the reward order and let Gu Lanxuan go to Prince Ji's Mansion to assassinate him?
The fat-headed fish must have some foreshadowing, and she didn't discover the big hole.
Now is not the time for her to recall the plot.
Chapter completed!
