The time for two incense sticks passed quickly, and the poems written by the girls were presented. The words were still visible, but the poems were not satisfactory. Some were those who used the wrong rhymes, some were vulgar characters, and some were those who did not know what to say. Of course, there were four girls who did it well, Su Nianjin and Ping'er were both in it...

After commenting on the girls' words and poems, the next competition began, which was about cooking skills.

Although there are not three days in the city of Yingcheng and the bride washes hands and makes soup, it still requires women to cook. Of course, this competition does not require them to make a table of dishes, just make a smaller dish.

Under the guidance of the maid, the girls went to the wing room to change their clothes and cooked snacks in the kitchen.

Taking advantage of this time, the Zhaoping County Lord asked several wives about their opinions.

Mrs. Bian smiled and said, "I think Miss Su is good, the girl is good, the handwriting is good, and she can also write poems..."

Mrs. Xiaobin snorted coldly and said, "What's the point of an orphan? If Sister Bian likes it, let the third son accept her."

"I thought she was pretty good, so I forgot about her parents' situation. I was too inadequate to think about it. Sister Bin should not be upset." Mrs. Bian apologized with a kind temper.

Mrs. Li sneered and said, "So what if you have a mother's family? Mrs. Ming Er is a very harmful person."

"Ming has been demoted to a commoner by the city lord, what other second wife is there?" Mrs. Xiaobin's face was slightly dark and she said coldly.

"Yes, there is no second wife anymore, so what's the use of my parents' family? I'll just fall." Mrs. Li said.

"Okay, don't get out of the topic." County Lord Zhaoping frowned, "Binshi, which girl do you like?"

"Madam, I think Jiang Minghong from Weiguo is good. She looks round and smooth and looks good for her childishness." Mrs. Xiaobin smiled.

"This Miss Jiang is good." The Lord of Zhaoping didn't care about what kind of wife Ye Xiaoliang married, but his legitimate mother was not easy to absent. Mrs. Xiaobin liked Miss Jiang, so she didn't need to object.

Mrs. Shao was thinking about her son going out and her daughter-in-law was pregnant again, so she was absent-minded. When the Zhaoping County Lord asked her about her opinion, she smiled and said, "All girls are good, I don't know which one to choose."

"Looking at these girls, I feel a little ashamed." Mrs. Yue was uneasy. She was sent by the five countries to run for the election of the Prince's wife, but unexpectedly, Ye Fan took a fancy to her and became the wife of the city lord.

"What Sister Yue said is, if you feel ashamed of yourself, what should I do? My old face is wrinkled, so shameless." Mrs. Bian smiled, shaking the round fan.

The only five ladies here, Mrs. Bian, who was the only one who was sent to Dengying City as a concubine, was more than half a month longer than the lord of Zhaoping County.

"So what if you are young and beautiful? You will get old in a few years." When Mrs. Li said this, she looked at Song Ruoxi with her eyes squintedly.

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly and she asked with a smile: "Mother, is there a saying that goes, marry a wife and a virtuous person?"

"There is a saying that a wife, a wife and a husband are the same. The most important thing in being a wife is morality, and appearance is second." Zhaoping County Lord smiled.

"Thank you, my mother for your advice, my daughter-in-law understand." Song Ruoxi smiled.

The wife and concubines have different statuses, and their requirements are also different. The wife must be virtuous and virtuous, as long as the concubine is beautiful. No matter how old the wife is, she is still a wife. As long as the husband is not so confused, she will give the wife the respect she deserves. Few will be so stupid that she will be so stupid that she will be despised. As for the concubines who serve the people with sex, she has a weaker and weaker love, Mrs. Li has a deep understanding of this, her face turns blue and mixed with flavors, and the fan in her hand is whistling.

Several other wives pursed their lips and said nothing.

"Mother, girls need time to make snacks, so why don't you come and touch a few cards to spend the time!" Yue Shi was afraid that if she continued chatting, these ladies would be so tired that they had no face to be so embarrassed by Mrs. Li. She could not ignore others, but Mrs. Bian is Ye's filial mother. For her husband's sake, she must also take care of it.

The Zhaoping County Lord glanced at Yue and smiled faintly, "I'm afraid that Yuxian wouldn't want to come. She lost so badly these days when she touched the cards and lost several boxes of silver beans."

"I'm afraid of losing. I won't play, you guys play." Song Ruoxi smiled.

"Your brother and sister Yuxian should play together. At worst, you can lose and count me." Yue said generously.

"Sister-in-law said this, sister-in-law, just play!" Ye Shuting stepped forward and held Song Ruoxi's arm, "Sister-in-law, if you don't come, I will lose."

Song Ruoxi spat lightly and cursed, "A bad-hearted girl."

Set up a few card tables, everyone sat around, touched the cards and killed time.

After two matches, the Zhaoping County Lord stood up and went to the clean room.

Song Ruoxi's luck was as bad as ever. He simply threw the jar and ate and touched it randomly, causing no one to play cards in four consecutive plates. He smiled proudly and said, "I can't play cards, so you don't think about playing them."

Madam Zhou shuffled the cards and said with a smile: "Mrs. Young lady's cards are not good. If you play this way, you can be invincible."

Song Ruoxi smiled, "The card market is like a battlefield. You can use any tactics when you touch a card. Play the cards when you touch a good card, and make trouble when you touch a bad card."

"Mrs. Young lady is really good at speaking, and she can tell some truth when playing cards." Mrs. Li said something again.

Song Ruoxi was defeated repeatedly against Mrs. Li, but she still repeatedly provoked her. She was really angry and said coldly: "A person who knows politeness is better than a person who doesn't know politeness."

Mrs. Li didn't hear what Song Ruoxi said was rude and was about to speak, but when she saw Mrs. Bian's wink, she drew a card from her hand and threw it out, "Xiao Wu."

The Zhaoping County Lord Xiao Jie came back and continued to play cards.

After playing a few sets, the maid came in to report that the girls' snacks were ready, so they counted them and collected the cards.

Twenty-eight desserts were brought in, honey fruit, phoenix tail crisp, silver shredded crisp, eight treasure oil cake, sauce walnuts, crystal cake, lotus crisp...

The shape looks good, but I know if the taste is good? The maids used silver needles to probe them and asked them to taste them.

The girl waiting beside her was paying attention to everyone with a nervous look. The Lord of Zhaoping was eating the Babao Oil Cake, frowned and shook his head, and said, "The oil smell is too strong."

Song Ruoxi took a piece of honey fruit and bit it down in one bite. It was so sweet that it was so sweet. "I put too much honey."

Mrs. Xiaobin tasted the walnuts in sauce and nodded slightly, "Who made this?"

"If you go back to Madam, this is made by Miss Jiang Minghong, the Wei Kingdom." The maid replied.

When Mrs. Xiaobin heard that it was made by Jiang Minghong, she smiled.

Mrs. Bian chose a piece of phoenix tail crisp, "This is good, who made it?"

"If you go back to Madam, this is made by Miss Su Nianjin, the Yi Kingdom." said the maid.

Mrs. Xiaobin frowned, took a piece and took a bite, and threw it back into the plate, "It's so uneasy."

Mrs. Bian smiled and walked away.

Mrs. Li picked up a piece and tasted it, and smiled and said, "It's delicious, my wife also tastes it."

The Zhaoping County Lord laughed, "Each person has different tastes."

"My honey is the arsenic." Song Ruoxi picked up a piece of honey lotus and tasted it, "Who did this?"

"When Mrs. Hui, this was made by Miss He Mei from Beiyi."

After tasting twenty-eight snacks, I judged that five of them were well made. The bottle was not among the five. The salt she made was too salty.

"Misses, you can go back to your room to rest, or go to the garden to have a good performance in the evening!" said the Lord of Zhaoping.

The girls were busy making snacks and sweated all over. They all went back to their room to take a shower and change their clothes, because the dinner was the highlight. Ye Xiaoliang's and the ceremony was held in the city. In the evening, the city lord, the young city lord, the third and fifth princes, and other unmarried young masters of the Ye clan would come to participate. That was the critical time to determine their fate.

Song Ruoxi took a car to Baijieyuan, and when he entered the door, he ordered: "Go and prepare hot water, I want to take a shower."

The hot water was ready soon, but Song Ruoxi was still not used to having someone serve in the bathroom, sending away the fragrant embroidered green lotus, taking off her clothes, soaking it in a wooden bucket with floating rose petals, and squinting her eyes comfortably. She was used to taking a nap in the afternoon, and fell asleep in a drowsy manner under the influence of the fragrance and water vapor.

When Ye Shuhua entered the door, Song Ruoxi still didn't come out in the bathroom. "Where has the young lady been?"

"The young lady is taking a bath." Xiang Xiu handed him a bowl of mung bean soup and looked at Shichenzhong, "The young lady has been washing for almost two quarters of an hour."

"How come you can't come out after washing for so long?" Ye Shuhua didn't bother to drink mung bean soup, put the bowl on the table, and quickly walked into the bathroom. He saw Song Ruoxi leaning against the wooden barrel, his eyes closed, his heart sank, and walked to the wooden barrel, reaching out to find her breathing. He was concerned, but he didn't hear her breathing sound very smoothly. After exploring her breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yingying, wake up. Yingying, wake up."

"Who? It's so noisy!" Song Ruoxi opened his eyes impatiently, and saw Ye Shuhua's handsome face, and smiled and bent his beautiful eyes, "Senior Brother!"

Ye Shuhua reached out and touched the water and said, "The water is cold. If you are still soaking in it, you will catch a cold."

"Ah!" Song Ruoxi remembered that she was bathing, without any inch of her body, hurriedly hugged her chest with both hands, "You're out!"

Ye Shuhua was not tempted by her actions, so she reached out to take her out of the bucket, "Yingying, I want you!"

Song Ruoxi had just had a clean life yesterday, and Ye Shuhua had been hungry for a few days, so he naturally had to eat full.

After eating, they both worked hard and hugged each other.

Song Ruoxi woke up and saw the dim window and the unfamiliar environment. He felt a little confused about where he was. After blinking his eyes, he remembered that she was in Baijieyuan in Qichun Garden. When he saw Ye Shuhua sleeping beside him, his face turned slightly red and he pushed him in shame, "Senior brother, wake up."

"Ye Shuhua groaned, and reached out to hug Song Ruoxi even tighter.

Song Ruoxi was so angry that he reached out and twisted his waist hard, awakening Ye Shuhua in pain, opened his eyes and saw her, "Ying Ying, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? If we don't go there, we'll be late." Song Ruoxi lifted the quilt and sat up, and had no time to check whether the spring scenery would leak out. He jumped off the bed, grabbed his clothes and put them on randomly. "These girls are, too, don't call us."

"Don't worry, it's still early." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.
