Chapter 93
"Manzhen!" Seeing the expression on his younger sister's face, Xu Dahong knew that she was not willing, so his tone became a little bit bad, and he softly blamed her.

It took so much effort for my father to invite Meng Liya here. It would be too naive for Xu Manzhen to do so now.Do you want your father's hard work for so long to go to waste?

When Xu Manzhen heard the reprimand revealed in Xu Dahong's voice, her face became very ugly.She knew that she and Xu Dahong would turn against each other one day, and she hadn't made any mistakes, but it would be because of Jiang Shouyi.

Who can be completely trusted?There is no one in this world who is completely trustworthy!Unless his interests completely coincide with his own interests and are completely tied together!Does such a person exist?No!
"Manzhen, be sensible!" Xu Dahong pulled Xu Manzhen aside, his voice was very low, but it was full of pleading, and said, "You must know, this is what my father is busy with these days, besides, we are just talking together Just kidding, it’s nothing special, don’t think too much about it.”

How could she not think too much?Xu Manzhen smiled wryly.However, looking at Xu Dahong like this, and thinking about how he has helped him so much before, how could he have the heart to refuse?

Then, I have another trick, to draw my salary from the bottom of the pot!

She turned around and went back, standing in front of people, announcing with a smile on her face, because it was too late, the joke activity was over, and a new link began.

For a while, the girls present all whispered.

The half-grown girls are just at the time when they have yearning for the opposite sex, but they feel embarrassed. Just now when Xu Manzhen went to negotiate, everyone was a little uneasy. They didn't know what the next new event would be. , who is it.

Xu Shuzhen was dumbfounded.She has prepared a joke for so long, why is it coming to an end before she has time to say a word?

Is this because Xu Manzhen was jealous of herself, and she was afraid that she would steal the limelight from her first name, so she did this?The more Xu Shuzhen thought about it, the more she hated it.

Today, this time, he didn't show his abilities at all...By the way, the drumbeat didn't hit him all the time. Could it be...Xu Manzhen's tricks?
Otherwise, how to explain that after Xu Manzhen showed herself, she was drawn by the lottery?
It seemed that Xu Manzhen had accidentally come up with the idea of ​​telling a joke, but in reality, she had been preparing for it for a long time!Ants tripping elephants and wrestling... Huh, it's a good thing she figured it out!

Xu Shuzhen guessed the matter completely wrong, but it didn't delay her from hating Xu Manzhen even more.

Of course, if she knew the real situation was because Xu Manzhen wanted to prevent her from getting acquainted with a well-qualified boy... she would probably hate her even more, triple it.

"Oh, sisters and sisters, I heard that you told a lot of jokes tonight?" But before the procrastinating girls had time to leave, Xu Dahong rushed over quickly, and he followed the expensive girls with a smile. , "I heard your laughter from a long distance away, why didn't you talk about it when we found it following the laughter?"

Xu Dahong has a great reputation in Deyang City, and he has a lot of talent and fame since he was young. Few of the girls present have never heard of it.Although boys and girls feel a little shy when they meet like this, they find it very exciting.

There were only a few women who were very well-educated at home. Seeing the boys coming, they thought about it for a while, then got up to bid farewell to Xu Manzhen, and left.Xu Manzhen could only bid farewell to them absent-mindedly, and arranged for maids to take them to the door.

And most of her energy was spent on paying attention to the situation of Xu Shuzhen and Jiang Shouyi.Have they met?Did you laugh?How long have you been laughing?Have you spoken yet?How many words did you say?What are you talking about, why are you so happy...

He didn't notice at all, Xu Dahong's real purpose of bringing Jiang Shouyi here.

Because Xu Manzhen was completely absent-minded, Xu Dahong also took over the responsibility of the master very naturally, ordered the activities to continue, and didn't bother to think about anything new. Telling jokes is fresh enough.

Although Xu Dahong brought a few people here, there were also a few who left here, so it happened just right, and there was no need to make special arrangements, and the activity began.

I don't know how Xu Dahong gave the order to the girl who played the drum, but the flowers fell into the hands of several young people almost every time.They all tried their best to tell jokes that were not from common books such as "Laughing Forest". For a while, the atmosphere of the audience was lively, and everyone felt that this was the only way to tell jokes!
The girls who stayed behind felt that it was quite interesting.

But Xu Manzhen was just the opposite, she couldn't feel anything funny.One is that her mood has changed, and the other is that these jokes are too old, and she has read them a long time ago—it is not as good as the jokes in "Laughing Forest". Because they are too classic, when future generations make up new jokes, they often Will consciously avoid these jokes.

So for a network human who has been fried all over in the era of information explosion in later generations, the jokes in "Laughing Forest" can make her feel a little new.

But at the scene, there was another person whose mood was three points worse than Xu Manzhen's.That is Xu Shuzhen.She was supposed to tell jokes, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or not. After Xu Dahong came over, he didn't even ask whose turn it was, but started passing flowers directly.

But it happened that the drumbeat stopped so many times, and it didn't always fall into her hands.

As for the teenagers present, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xu Dahong only vaguely mentioned their names, but did not mention their backgrounds.

But in fact, this is nothing, how old is Deyang, what is the situation of which family, who does not know the people present?There was only one boy named Jiang Shouyi, and no one knew about it.However, thinking about it, there is nothing strange, maybe he is a young man from a small family, and he has a good friendship with Xu Dahong, so Xu Dahong brought him back.

Xu Shuzhen's thoughts were on those young men.If you give her a chance to show off...she will definitely attract everyone's attention...

However, I just lacked an opportunity...

Meng Liya did not leave either.Helping her mother manage the Meng Mansion since she was a child, Meng Liya is naturally not a pedantic person. She has always had a bad attitude towards concubine daughters, not because of any etiquette, but because she really doesn't like concubine daughters.

Now, she is also smiling, watching a few teenagers telling jokes.

Although these jokes are not as funny as Xu Manzhen's, and occasionally some old jokes that everyone has seen and heard are mixed in, but the form of this game is really very fun.

"It's no fun to be like this!" Soon, the jokes in the stomachs of the few teenagers were empty, and there was nothing new to say, so Xu Dahong suggested another way to play, such as making a poem couplet or something. .

Xu Manzhen was full of anger, watching the youngsters showing off, and suddenly understood, these youngsters are showing off so hard... Could it be because of... what?Who do you want to express?No wonder he was angry, Xu Dahong still persisted, that's the reason.

Looking around the faces of the people in the scene, she saw the faint smile on Meng Liya's face.When Meng Liya noticed Xu Manzhen looking at her, she gave her a sweet smile.

Could it be... because of Meng Liya?By the way, is it because you want that boy to meet Meng Liya that you have spent so much thought this time?
But in the original plot, Meng Liya never appeared at all... What went wrong?The more Xu Manzhen thinks about it, the more entangled she becomes. Sometimes she feels that she is very close to the truth, as if she can know what the truth is just by reaching out her hand; sometimes she feels that the truth is so far away from her that it is impossible to reach it.

"This time, I'll post an upper couplet to ask for justice. Listen carefully," Jiang Shouyi picked up a tender lotus seed that had been peeled from the fruit plate in front of him, and said in a clear voice, "The heart of the lotus seed is bitter."

Although a lot of people have talked about poems and couplets just now, but such exquisite and appropriate couplets are rare.For a moment, all the people present were shocked, and they all thought hard.

"Is anyone right? Is there anyone?" Xu Dahong was happier than he got the good sentence, stood up and asked loudly.

Seeing Xu Dahong's arrogant appearance, Xu Manzhen felt a little unhappy.Tonight, her fate has returned to the original track again - such a tragic fate... No, absolutely not.It's the right pair, right? Gritting your teeth, you have to do it. No matter what, you can't give Xu Shuzhen a chance to perform.

Whether it's even good or not, let's talk.

She said loudly, "Little sister has a pretty good match, please appreciate it."

No matter what, when she saw Jiang Shouyi's triumphant face, she felt suffocated and panicked. She really wanted to tear his face off, throw it on the ground, and step on it a few times.I hate it so much, I'm doing my best tonight.

Xu Dahong was taken aback for a moment, he never knew that his younger sister would still be able to make a match?She hasn't even finished reading "Sound and Rhyme Enlightenment", has she?I don't know what kind of pair she can make, can it be even?

But in front of so many people, he had to give his sister face, so he could only take one step at a time.

Xu Manzhen cleared her throat, and read out her couplet aloud: "It's raining heavily, I'm afraid of being caught in the mud, eggs and tofu keep my son-in-law." I don't know which stick of high incense was burned, but I remembered it all at once and took it out to use.I heard that this is absolute, it's hard to match.

As soon as the words fell, someone in the field burst out laughing.This couplet is in line with Xu Manzhen's reputation, it's too unrefined... No, it's just a scum in the couplet, to use such elegant literature as the couplet to make such a vulgar couplet.

Xu Shuzhen, who had been in a very unhappy mood, relieved a bit of depression in her heart.Xu Manzhen is still Xu Manzhen after all, even if he wears a dragon robe, he can't be a crown prince. Look at what kind of couplets these are!Also "heavy rain"!

"Wait! Second Miss, can you read it again?" Something unexpected happened to Xu Manzhen, Jiang Shouyi stood up, fixed his eyes on her, and asked.
