Chapter 221 An unexpected guest! (Part 1)
However, after saying this, Jiang Chengfeng immediately realized that something was wrong. What is the fate of snow-white hair? Isn't this a metaphor for his interest in the talented lady Ye? This will cause people to misunderstand! Damn it, being talented is also a trouble!
Before, Shen Ruoyan felt very sympathetic towards Ye Lingshuang, but when Jiang Chengfeng came up with the second couplet, she realized something was wrong. Her pretty face turned pale, and she glared at Jiang Chengfeng and turned away.
"Excellent! Excellent!" Old Madam Ye laughed heartily, holding Miss Ye's hand, while looking Jiang Chengfeng up and down with a gentle gaze, "This young man's answer is very good! Shuang'er, ask another question and see if there are any other young talents that satisfy you?"
Jiang Chengfeng lowered his head hastily when he met Ye Dacai's shy but affectionate gaze. However, Zhao Dashao came over and whispered, "Jiang Dazhu, try your best! Marry this girl home and make her your maid. She will do whatever you ask her to do! Hehe!"
Jiang Chengfeng was sweating profusely. This Young Master Zhao was too frivolous! But I like him very much!
Shen Ruoyan twisted Mr. Zhao's arm hard. Mr. Zhao felt pain, but he didn't dare to scream. He just choked up and didn't dare to speak. Jiang Chengfeng was about to explain to Miss Shen, but she turned away.
Ye Lingshuang's eyes swept across the desolate river outside the window, and she said faintly: "Autumn red and silver, mandarin ducks come in pairs!"
Ye Lingshuang just recited the first couplet casually, and she herself probably didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. Jiang Chengfeng glanced at everyone present and found that everyone was thinking with their heads down. He then looked at Miss Shen, who had a cold face, and tactfully shut his mouth.
Soon, Zhu Kewei clapped excitedly and shouted, "Ms. Ye, I can come up with the second line! I can!"
Ye Lingshuang, who had been keeping her brows down and saying nothing, raised her eyes, forced a smile, and said, "Mr. Zhu, please feel free to speak!"
Shen Ruoyan glanced at Ye Lingshuang, who looked a little unwilling, and then looked at Jiang Dazhu, who was beside her and looked trance-like. She poked him in the waist in anger and cursed, "Didn't you say you were going to cut off that Master Zhu? Why are you silent?"
Jiang Chengfeng was very surprised. What's wrong with you, girl? Didn't you tell me to shut up? Alas - talking to a woman is really looking for trouble!
"White snow and cloudy sky, the zither and the harp are in harmony!" Zhu Kewei recited the second line of his own couplet while shaking his head. He thought it was absolutely wonderful, but only a few people applauded.
To be honest, Zhu Kewei's second couplet can only be considered neat. Its artistic conception is far inferior to that of the first couplet and can only be considered above average at best.
Shen Ruoyan tugged at Jiang Chengfeng's sleeve and asked, "Jiang Dazhu, do you have a better second line?"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded. Before he could say anything, Shen Ruoyan glared at Zhu Kewei with gritted teeth and said, "Then hurry up and say it. Beat this Mr. Zhu!"
Jiang Chengfeng opened his mouth in surprise, and couldn't believe his ears. Oh my God, did the young lady forget to take her medicine?
However, although he was surprised, he still had to get the couplet right. He raised his hand and shouted, "Ms. Ye, I got it right too!"
Zhu Kewei was worried that Jiang Chengfeng would cut in, so he quickly interrupted and said, "I was the first one to get it right!"
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Zhu Kewei with disdain and said loudly: "Master Zhu, don't worry! My second couplet is "The sky is full of jade, and the phoenixes sing in harmony!"
Ye Lingshuang was slightly surprised, and then overjoyed, bowing to express her admiration. Shen Ruoyan poked the smug Jiang Chengfeng in the waist again, and whispered: "Don't forget what I said before! You can't let Qingdie down, and me--"
Just when Jiang Chengfeng was surprised, Ye Lingshuang had already said the first line of the third couplet - A phoenix fell from the phoenix tree.
Could it be that the talented lady Ye was in heat? Why are these couplets so ambiguous? Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Ye Lingshuang in confusion.
Shen Ruoyan's face was very ugly. She pinched Jiang Chengfeng's waist and said, "Jiang Dazhu, don't talk!"
Jiang Chengfeng was very puzzled. What was wrong with Miss Shen? Why did she change her attitude every moment? Also, did my waist provoke you? If you have something to say, just say it! Don't poke me!
"Ahem... So, I don't have to worry about that Mr. Zhu?" Jiang Chengfeng asked cautiously, taking a step back while speaking.
Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes and said, "I don't need you anymore!"
As she spoke, she stood up and said in a loud voice: "I will come up with the second line. My second line is 'A pair of mandarin ducks stand beside the hibiscus flowers'!"
"Good! Very good!" As a servant of the Shen family, Jiang Chengfeng was the first to applaud. Shen Ruoyan and Ye Dacai both rolled their eyes.
Hearing that this couplet was actually made by Sister Ruoyan, Ye Lingshuang was both shy and happy. She walked over and took Shen Ruoyan's hand, saying shyly, "Sister Ruoyan, you are making fun of me! I won't agree!"
Shen Ruoyan smiled and asked, "Miss Ye, now that you have finished writing these three couplets, have you found your ideal person?"
Ye Lingshuang's eyes swept across Jiang Chengfeng's body, and she nodded shyly, "Of course I found it! It's you, Sister Ruoyan—"
While they were talking, the two women who had just been at odds with each other were actually laughing and playing together. Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh that the friendship between women always comes so inexplicably!
Ye Shengxian pulled Jiang Chengfeng in front of his grandmother and took the initiative to introduce him, "Grandma! This is the elder brother Jiang I told you about before! By the way, elder brother Jiang also knows daddy and is familiar with sister!"
In fact, the old lady had already noticed this servant of the Shen family. She was delighted and said with a smile, "Just now I saw you and Shuang'er writing couplets. It was very interesting. You two should get to know each other more in the future!"
Ye Lingshuang blushed and smiled, "Don't worry, grandma! I still have a lot of things I want to ask Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chengfeng took out a sparkling diamond from his arms. Although it was only half the size of the Dream Love, it made everyone present exclaim in surprise.
This diamond was sparkling and dazzling. Most of the people in the hall had heard the story of Huazhou Yanyu Tower, and they all came to their senses! Could this be the diamond in the rumors?
Ye Lingshuang also covered her mouth in surprise, staring at the diamond that was shining with extraordinary brilliance. She didn't expect that Brother Jiang would use such a precious diamond as a birthday gift! However, Shen Ruoyan felt sour in her heart. This dead man didn't even give me one!
Jiang Chengfeng presented the diamond with both hands and said with a grin, "I came here in a hurry today and didn't prepare any special gifts! I only have this broken stone. I will give it to the old birthday star and wish him happiness forever!"
