Chapter 18 Miss Cao Dances

The swinger is Cao Xiu, the daughter of Liangzhe Road Pacifier.

"My maidservant, go and inquire..." Zi Zhu, Cao Xiu's close maid, immediately agreed and went, and replaced two young maids to push Cao Xiu to play on the swing.

"Push higher, higher..." Cao Xiu urged.

The two little maids pushed hard, Cao Xiu saw Meng Shiyu in his eyes, and the joy in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"He's so good-looking..." Cao Xiu's giggling was clear and loud.

The garden they visited was the back garden of Cao Anshi.

The garden is not very big, and it is not the most exquisite in Jiangnan, but it is to appease the family, and on the contrary, it seems to value the students even more.

In addition to Cao Anfu, officials from Liangzhe Road and Hangzhou Mansion participated in the garden tour. In addition, King Jin'an was invited to participate.

After the garden tour, there will be a family dinner.

"Meng Jieyuan's poem just now is of the highest level both in terms of conception and state of mind." Cao comforter said with appreciation.

"Like Meng Jieyuan, it's rare to see a student with four grades at the age of sixteen." King Jin'an also said with satisfaction.

"Autumn is just around the corner. If we follow this momentum and come back with a champion, our Liangzhe Road will train Zaifu talents for the imperial court..." The prefect of Hangzhou prefect answered with a smile.

As Jie Yuan, Meng Shiyu was naturally the focus of discussion.He was calm, just responding in a low-key manner.

"Miss," Zizhu, Cao Xiu's servant girl, ran over and gasped, "I found out clearly, her name is Meng Shiyu, and she is a student of Xiuzhou Prefecture. When it comes to Qiuwei, it is very likely to win the champion."

"Really?" Cao Xiu was full of surprise, "Is there going to be a family dinner later?"

Zizhu replied, "Yes, there is a banquet."

"That's great, let's go!" Cao Xiu jumped off the swing happily, "I'm going to change clothes, and I'll go find the housekeeper, arrange a show for me, let me dance!"

"Miss..." Zi Zhu's expression changed suddenly, "What are you going to do, the master and the wife said that they want you to enter the palace to be the third concubine."

"What's the point of the third prince concubine? I've been confined in the deep palace all my life. Besides, I've met the third prince. He's so gloomy. I don't like it."

Zizhu felt that things were not going well, but she didn't dare to disobey Cao Xiu's order, so she went to the housekeeper first, and asked the housekeeper to find a chance to tell the master what Miss thought.

Cao Xiu went back to her room to take a bath and change clothes, and changed into clothes more suitable for dancing.

"Master," said the butler, "the banquet is almost ready, and we can start the banquet."

Comforter Cao nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Master, Miss suddenly said that she would perform a dance for the banquet." The housekeeper lowered his voice in embarrassment.

"Dancing..." Cao's comforter frowned instantly, "She is Miss Comforter, why would she want to perform a dance..."

"The little ones don't know, but they can't stop Zizhu from quietly passing them over," said the housekeeper.

"Nonsense, tell Madam, let her stop it, don't embarrass me." Cao comforter said coldly.

The comforter Cao saw many officials coming over with questioning eyes, so he didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to let the housekeeper go down.

"My lord, the banquet can start, let's move!" Cao comforter said to King Jin'an.

King Jin'an agreed.

Mrs. Cao heard that Cao Xiu was going to mess around, so she hurried over to stop her, but she didn't know where she went.

Mrs. Cao sent people to look for it, and at the same time walked to the banquet in person.

But she is a female family member in the inner house, so it is inconvenient for her to see the male guests outside, so her scope of action is limited.

At the beginning of the banquet, King Jin'an said a few words symbolically, and Cao comfort envoy announced the start of the banquet.

Pushing the cup for a change, the students can only follow the crowd because of the disparity in status.

However, the students did not dare to fall behind every time they clinked glasses.

These students drink a lot and don't drink very much. People like Zhou Hong usually drink alcohol, but they drink very little.

After several rounds, there were a little too many students, but Meng Shiyu still didn't change his face.

Zhou Hong faintly felt that Meng Shiyu deliberately tricked him that day, and put himself in his room. Everyone knew that the Anping county lord liked Meng Shiyu, and the person the Anping county lord wanted to cause trouble that day was also Meng Shiyu. Yu, who knows how he finally became himself.

He was completely drunk, but that was too drunk, and he was still awake at noon the next day, which was abnormal.

"Brother Shiyu, you can drink very well!" Although they were classmates in Xiuzhou, they didn't drink together a few times.

"It's okay..." Meng Shiyu said lightly.

"I've been in pain for the past two days, do you know why?" Zhou Hong blushed a little too much, his tongue was a little bit loose when he spoke, his eyes became cloudy, and he felt that Meng Shiyu was far away and dreamy.

"I don't know..." Meng Shiyu replied.

Zhou Hong,...

"I was plotted by someone, and I caused such a scandal, I..." Zhou Hong was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He knew Meng Shiyu was ruthless, but he didn't expect to be so sympathetic.

"Brother Zhou won the imperial examination and is about to become the prince's son-in-law. Do you know how many people are envious of you? You say that you are in pain, which is too false. Maybe brother Zhou doesn't want to win the imperial examination or marry the county magistrate?" Meng Shiyu Look at Zhou Hongdao.

"I……"

"If you don't want to, Brother Zhou can tell Mr. Cao to cancel your quota, and then tell the prince that you have no intention of marrying the county magistrate and let her marry someone else..." Meng Shiyu spoke slowly and softly, but like Like a heavy hammer, it fell on Zhou Hong's heart.

Zhou Hong was speechless by Meng Shiyu's words.

Meng Shiyu glanced at Zhou Hong, thinking, a man is even more bitch when he is a bitch, and he obviously can refuse but he is not willing, and he still feels that he is in pain.

"Meng Shiyu, you are too ruthless..." Zhou Hong was so angry that he drank another glass of wine.

At this moment, music sounded.

The crowd stopped after changing their cups and glasses on their own, and looked at the slim woman who suddenly appeared at the door.

The comforter Cao watched his daughter appear at the door, and then danced gracefully to the music, like a fairy descending to the world, with her sleeves moving and fragrant, and the red stalks curling up in the autumn waves.

King Jin'an looked at Cao Anshi, but he didn't expect the other party to have such an arrangement, because the students below looked straight at him.

"It's a dog girl, the lord laughed at me..." Cao Anshi said with a helpless wry smile.

King Jin'an was stunned for a moment, and quickly ordered the people behind to pass on the shocking news, and don't let anyone who doesn't have a long-sighted drink drink something bad for Miss Cao.

Everyone heard that the dancer was the beloved daughter of the pacifier. They wished they had their eyes gouged out just now, but their hearts jumped up, especially those young students, hoping to be spotted by Miss Cao, so they all sat upright, as if they had just drunk It's not wine that goes down, it's a good medicine to lift your spirits.

Meng Shiyu's expression was calm, he tilted his head and said to Zhou Hong, "Look at Miss Cao looking at us frequently, don't get drunk again, it will be difficult for the prince and comfort."
