Chapter 70 Decathlon Summer
Wangxin Lake is the only scenic spot in the capital, and scholars and rich ladies like to visit here when they have nothing to do.
Qingmu drove the carriage into Shuyuan Street, a familiar street. Song Yanjin recalled the tragic experience of poaching people here in the early days of the founding of the academy, and laughed unconsciously.
What are you laughing at, miss?
Baizhu sat by the window, looking around outside the carriage in confusion, but there was nothing new.
Cui Yuanchang was a dull person, and Shanzhang had her reasons for laughing, so she didn't speculate or say much.
Bai Zhu thought of something and asked directly, "Miss, are you thinking about the scene when we came here to recruit students?"
Shuyuan Street is an elegant place for others, but it is a nightmare for her and her daughter. They were fooled when looking for a school, and were set on fire when recruiting students.
Forget the past!
There was a pleasure boat decorated with flowers parked on the shore of Wangxin Lake. Xia Yange and Gongshu Yuanyuan were standing on the shore. When they saw Song Shanchang's carriage coming, they smiled at the same time.
The carriage stopped and the two stepped forward. Gongshu Yuanyuan helped her down and said, "It's just the three of us today."
"Captain, snacks and wine are ready on board."
Xia Yange spoke in a familiar manner while holding the headmaster's arm.
Song Yanjin agreed with the two of them and laughed. Does this girl really want to get drunk?
There were three or five pretty girls sitting in a pavilion in the distance, all looking towards the pleasure boat.
The woman in green holding a round fan sighed slightly, "Not everyone can have a seat at the table of the most talented woman in the capital. Now, we are all excluded."
"Whose daughter is the blue-dressed lady in the middle? When did such a beautiful lady appear in the capital? From what I see, her appearance is even better than that of the talented lady."
The pink-dressed woman sitting opposite said sarcastically.
Shan Qiu patted her shoulder and warned her, "Don't make random comparisons. That's Principal Song from Qingyun Academy."
The twins sitting at the edge kept their heads down in silence. In this circle, they were just background figures with no say. Whenever there were not enough people in any group, the girls would be called in temporarily.
Who made them of humble status? The only official in the family was the eldest uncle, and he was only a minor official of the fifth rank.
Song Yanhuan lowered her head and looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very happy in her heart. No matter how much she disliked her elder sister, she just felt very proud at this moment.
"Huan'er, Principal Song's last name is also Song, so you two are not from the same family, are you?"
Ding Meiyi, who was sitting next to Song Yanhuan, guessed.
The sound was neither loud nor soft, and everyone in the pavilion heard it, and everyone looked at her.
Song Yanhuan pursed her lips nervously, and was about to reply loudly, "Yes, Xiaoshanzhang Song is the big sister."
Feeling a pain in his waist, he turned around and saw his sister's warning eyes. He immediately became scared. Song Yanhuan reacted and shook his head like a rattle. "No, there are many people with the surname Song in Beijing. How can every one of them be a relative of Mr. Song?"
Ding Meiyi is a thoughtful person who knows her sisters’ character very well. The way her sister looked at her just now showed that they were definitely hiding something.
I vaguely remember my brother who was studying at the Imperial College mentioned that a concubine from the Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion went to Qingyun Academy to cause trouble, claiming to be the aunt of Principal Song. Huan'er's family also had an aunt who married into the Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion. It was hard not to be suspicious since they both had the surname Song.
"Tsk~ Meiyi, you just love to make wild guesses. What are their identities? How could they be related to Xiaoshanzhang Song?"
The woman in pink almost spat in disdain. Anyone can get in their small circle.
Song Yanhuan clenched his fists and stood up, his teeth almost broken. The person in front of him was the daughter of a third-rank civil official and had the strongest background among those present. He couldn't afford to offend her!
He endured it again and again, and turned away feeling aggrieved.
Song Yanxi apologized repeatedly and then chased after him.
"Look, now you have a bad temper."
"Hahahaha" the woman in green grinned.
Ding Meiyi glared at the pink-dressed woman in displeasure, "Zhao Yiyi, you can't say a single nice word."
After saying that, he stood up and left the pavilion to look for the two sisters.
Zhao Yiyi angrily pushed the cake in front of her away and said, "What's so great about Ding Meiyi? She just has a good mother. Why is she shouting and yelling here?"
"It's so annoying to have to bring the twins to every party!"
Shan Qiu stood up and tried to persuade her, "My dear sister, don't get angry. It's not worth it to get yourself upset. We are having a small gathering. I ordered the two sisters to work. They are working very hard. It's better to order servants around than to order the daughter of an official."
Zhao Yiyi's fierce gaze softened, and so did the Tao.
Ding Meiyi caught up with the two sisters and was about to call for help when she heard a shocking secret.
"It's all your fault. I don't want to play with them. You always drag me out. I hate it so much~"
"I hate you!"
Song Yanhuan kept getting angry, and Song Yanxi kept trying to persuade him.
"I think you want to be bullied by your second sister at home. She is now going to choose the crown princess. If we offend her, you will have a hard time in the future."
"Why do we want you to integrate into this circle? Isn't it to make more connections? We can't fit into this small circle, just like Zhao Yiyi and the others can't get along with Gongshu Yuanyuan."
"Big sister's Qingyun Academy is now famous. Big sister is the only supporter of the Song family. When you go out, you can't show your trump card until the critical moment."
After some persuasion, Song Yanhuan calmed down a lot, and looked at the painting boat with resentment in his eyes, "Big sister is really different from us. The noble lady is trying to curry favor with her, and she eats delicious food and drinks spicy food in the beautiful painting boat."
Song Yanxi also looked at the pleasure boat with envy, wishing he could talk to the older sister.
Little Song Shanzhang is actually the two idiot sisters? Ding Meiyi listened for a long time, then turned away with a gloomy look.
In the pleasure boat, Xia Yange drank one cup after another and got herself drunk. At this moment, she followed the dancers as they twisted their graceful bodies.
"Yan Ge, don't run~"
Gongshu Yuanyuan was a little tipsy after drinking with her sisters, and he was determined to chase her and pull her over to sit down.
Song Yanjin, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, sat steadily at the table, folded his hands and looked at the two of them with a silly smile. It was interesting!
It turns out that the ladies also get drunk sometimes, and they get so excited that they sit down in front of the drawing board and pick up their pens to paint. If the two men woke up and saw their ugly selves in the painting, I wonder what they would think.
Bai Zhu and Cui Yuanshang were helping to grind the pigments.
"Director Song, please stop painting. This girl wants to go to the lake to cool off."
"Ah~"
Gongshu Yuanyuan couldn't be stopped at all, and she went down before she could finish her words!
The dancers stopped and ran out to watch.
Upon hearing the sound, Song Yanjin overturned the drawing board in front of him and hurried out. Holding the boat railing, he saw a woman swimming happily in the lake. He couldn't help but click his tongue, "Oh my God~ Is this the girl in the boudoir in ancient times?"
Xia Yange defeated a group of men in the spring examination class and maintained her top five scores. We knew that she was hardworking and diligent, but we didn't expect that she was also an all-rounder.
"Hey, cousin, someone fell into the water."
"Brother Ye, please row the boat over to save them!"
