I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Wulang's calligraphy is quite good. He chose the Yan style that he is best at, and it is quite commendable. The Fifth Prince said, "You are still young, but you have such a good foundation. It can be seen that you have put in a lot of effort and have learned a lot from your grandfather. Your Su family has many talented people. Su Erniang from the second branch of the Su family in the capital also has a good handwriting, but she lacks the spirit compared to you."

In fact, Su Erniang's calligraphy is too much of a craftsman. She imitates others too much and cannot break out of the rut. Her handwriting is good, but it lacks her own style.

The fifth prince glanced around and said, "You can recommend a few more famous scholars and talented people from Yueyang to study together, which will be a joy in the world."

Su Wulang clasped his fists and said, "Although Xu Tao from Yueyang comes from a poor family, he is quite talented."

The fifth prince and the eunuch behind him nodded.

The eunuch walked to the window and said loudly: "The fifth prince summons Yueyang and Xu Tao to the tower!"

A young man in a blue-gray gown walked out of the crowd, clasped his fists and bowed to the others, then walked into the Yueyang Tower.

Su Wulang recommended people, Mao Bufan and Wang Heng recommended two people each, so there were five more people on the third floor. They first talked about calligraphy and poetry, and Wang Heng recited "Yueyang Tower Inscription" again. Everyone commented on it and found that this article was truly amazing.

The fifth prince asked, "Sister Jiarou, who wrote this article?"

Zhen Su then remembered that Fan Zhongyan did not appear in this time and space. The current historical trajectory was different from the history she was familiar with. It was an era similar to the period between the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. The requirements for women were not particularly strict, but not as open as the Tang Dynasty or as rigorous as the Song Dynasty. There was also no clear distinction between men and women.

Su Wulang said, "It was written by Su Zhen, a member of the Su family who is of the same generation as me."

This was written by Zhen Su, but Su Zhen is her other identity, the name entered into the Su family tree.

"Su Zhen?" The fifth prince pondered, "Is he a disciple of the Jiangnan Su family?"

Su Wulang said: "I heard that he was traveling in recent years. His mother died early, and he relied on the help of his clansmen to complete his studies. When he traveled to Yueyang Prefecture, he wrote this "Yueyang Tower Record"."

Su Zhen, my sister's name in the Su family is "Su Zhen". This is what my sister did, especially the last paragraph of the article. If a girl had such emotion, it might cause controversy. If it was written by a man, it would be admirable.

The fifth prince said: "Your Su family is really full of talented people. I know of several talented people."

"I have lived up to our ancestors' expectations." Su Wulang replied seriously.

Princess Changle said, "The third floor of Yueyang Tower belongs to you. I will take all the noble ladies to the second floor. It is a good opportunity to appreciate their talents. Who knows, we may find two or three people who will be invited to join the Noble Ladies Club of the Capital."

Once you enter the Capital City Noble Ladies Society, you enter a new circle.

The Ninth Princess is the president, and Princess Changle is the vice president. The talented ladies present are eager to try.

Princess Changle led everyone to the second floor, and then the noble ladies performed their skills, some writing poetry, some practicing calligraphy, some painting, and some even showing off their chess and musical skills.

After Princess Shouning played the piece "Yangchun Baixue", the quality of the other noble ladies' music was immediately exposed and they were instantly crushed to pieces. No one dared to play the piano anymore.

Su Qiniang said, "Princess Shouning is the 'Graceful and Talented, Good at Playing the Music, Chess, and Virtue' of the Noble Ladies' Club of the Capital City, and the 'Piano Fairy' of the Eight Great Talents. Her piano skills are lively and charming, and she has attracted hundreds of birds to sing and butterflies to dance with her. If you can also attract hundreds of birds and butterflies, you can compete with her."

These words really convinced the ladies present. They didn't have the ability to attract hundreds of birds to dance in joy, and they would be even worse if they added butterflies to dance with them. They were convinced that they lost to Princess Shouning.

Mao Erniang said, "Sister Su Qi, there were four of us, but now there are eight."

"It used to be four, but now it's eight."

"Who are the other three?"

Su Qiniang shook her head, "I heard that it's to take away his name, and it hasn't been decided yet."

"Not decided yet?"

The others stared with their eyes wide open, wondering if they could decide, at least one would be enough, and they would become famous all over the world.

"Rong, does it refer to appearance, or does it refer to a tolerant character?"

Princess Changle said: "Rong does not refer to appearance, but to a tolerant and generous mind, being able to tolerate others, and having proper etiquette and manners."

A girl asked, "No singing and dancing?"

Princess Shouning said with displeasure: "The music troupe's skills are not worthy of being worthy of high-class performance."

The girl who was speaking had blushing cheeks, singing and dancing had become the skills of a music troupe, those who didn’t learn these were people in brothels.

A young girl thought this person was really shameful. It was amazing that she could sing and dance, but the noble ladies were disdainful of learning. She echoed, "We noble ladies can learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and we can learn poetry and prose. The art of singing and dancing is learned by lowly people to please others. Why should we learn such talents? It will only make people laugh."

Zhen Su secretly paid attention to Bai Ruizhu, her eyes dimmed slightly. As far as she knew, Bai Ruizhu was best at dancing, and her water sleeve dance was unique, and her waist was soft and boneless.

Bai Ruizhu approached the two girls playing chess and watched with great interest. Coming here today, she wanted to try her luck. If she was lucky enough to join the Noble Ladies Club of Beijing, even if she only participated in one or two activities. She did not participate when Zhen Su joined the club, but she was a recognized member of the Noble Ladies Club. The Ninth Princess recognized her, and so did Princess Changle.

The other noble ladies signed up for the poetry group, the couplet group, the calligraphy group, the painting group, and some even signed up for the embroidery group. They all competed with each other, hoping to come out on top in each group. However, the piano playing group was not a success, as Su Qinnan's words directly discouraged them from competing.

Princess Shouning's musical skills are too high, and they cannot reach that level.

They didn't know that Su Qinnan was bragging, they just thought it was true. If they couldn't beat Princess Shouning, they had to give up. If they beat her, there would be no good life in the future, so they might as well give up and choose someone else.

Bai Ruizhu waited until she was defeated, then sat down to play against the winner. Four more players joined in to compete with each other, and the winners played again until only one winner remained.

The girls in the pair group stood in two rows and faced each other. If someone failed to connect within the specified time, she would lose. They were selected layer by layer and had a lot of fun.

Su Qinnan wanted to join the Noble Ladies' Society, so she tried to participate in the pair group but lost. She then tried the chess group but lost again. Finally, she lost in the poetry group. However, she managed to keep her place in the calligraphy group. Where is the family background? She was the tallest among the short ones, and her calligraphy was acceptable.

Bai Ruizhu has won four games while sitting at the chessboard. She has eliminated four of her opponents and is just waiting for another winner to play chess with her.

Zhen Su remembered that in her previous life, Bai Ruizhu was good at dancing, and had never heard that she was good at chess. But today, Bai Ruizhu defeated Mao Yuanniang.

She heard that Mao Yuanniang was good at chess. Su Qinnan came home and told her about it. She said that Mao Yuanniang was a chess fanatic and could play chess by herself at home, with both her left and right hands. Princess Changle spent the whole morning selecting the winner and asked Zhen Su, Zhou Yiqing and Shouning to be the examiners.

Shouning eliminated all calligraphy and painting.

When it came to embroidery, poetry and chess, one winner was retained in each group.
