What you fear most will come upon you.

  After staying in the Qinyin County Magistrate's residence for several days, taking care of household chores diligently and conscientiously, Fourth Auntie Su sent over her senior maid Mei Rui to invite Cui Ying: "Fourth Madam has recently come up with a new poem, and would like to ask Fifth Madam to go over and take a look."

  Choi Yong's scalp felt numb with fear.

  I had long heard that the fourth sister was a refined and elegant person, so when I occasionally met her in the old lady's room, she always hung her head with caution, even being careful not to make eye contact, for fear of inadvertently offending the fourth sister.

  Let her help you look up new words?

  Cui Ying was almost in tears, after all, she had received higher education in her previous life. She could still recite a few poems by Su Shi, Li Bai, Xin Qiji and Liu Zongyuan, but that didn't mean she knew how to appreciate or judge their quality.

  After struggling for many years in society, she came to Sheng Dynasty and was empty-headed for so long that she is now basically illiterate.

  Fourth sister asked her to help look at some new words?

  She would rather continue to listen to the county lady's arrangement of household chores, although trivial and numerous, but after all, she was also a person who issued orders in the past. The way to control people is universal, ancient and modern. Occasionally, when her elder sister asked her questions, she could still answer a few sentences with difficulty.

  She looked up at the county lord's wife with a pleading expression like a small dog, and weakly called out, "Sister-in-law..."

  The mistress of Yining County couldn't help but burst out laughing, "There's nothing else for you to do here, since your fourth aunt has called you over, you might as well go and get to know her properly. Not to mention anything else, the way she decorated her house is truly one of a kind, it's worth learning from."

  Long Shu treated her like a mother, now she really entrusted all the kindness of a loving mother to Cui Ling, and everything was for Cui Jiu's consideration.

  Cui Ling didn't want to go at all, but in front of Mei Rui, she couldn't show her reluctance, so she forced a smile and said, "Yes, I'll come right away."

  His footsteps were slow and hesitant.

  The county master of Yining was kind after all, and after thinking about it, he beckoned with his hand, "Come back."

  She leaned in close to Cui Ying's ear and said, "If your fourth aunt asks you if this phrase is good or not, just say it's good. If she asks where it's good, just make up some random reason. She thinks you're a commoner who pretends to understand when you don't, so next time she definitely won't let you read the phrase."

  These words from the bottom of her heart were completely based on the young lady's own experiences.

  There's no way around it, Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law Su is a talented woman, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If our family hadn't fallen from wealth and avoided the suspicions of the previous dynasty, she would have made a great imperial concubine. As a talented woman, she inevitably has some of the typical qualities of one - apart from being particularly fastidious about her behavior, she also has an air of aloofness and pride about her.

  When she encounters a vulgar person, she can still maintain her courtesy and take care of the other person meticulously. However, only extraordinary individuals with exceptional vision can win her heart; ordinary people are not worthy of her attention.

  When Su Shi first married, the county master and Liang Shi were not willing to lose face in front of their younger brother and sister, so they tried their best to show off their knowledge. Su Shi thought he had met a kindred spirit, and was overjoyed to play the zither with his three sisters-in-law, listen to music, cook wine, drink tea, recite poetry, and paint.

  At first, it was extremely good.

  After all, the county master came from the Grand Princess Mansion, and Liang's grandfather had been an imperial teacher, which was also a scholarly family. Lian was also a dignified national public mansion thousand jin, three people have received strict noble lady education, on the qin chess calligraphy and painting also have their own insights, appreciate Su's talent, they are also quite relish.

  However, many things seem beautiful at first glance, but when you really experience them, they may not necessarily be wonderful.

  For example, when drinking tea, the Su family uses different tea utensils for different teas, with strict regulations on the material, size, and shape of the cups and saucers. Even the length, thickness, color, and vintage of the tea leaves, as well as the type of container used to store them, are carefully distinguished. As for the water used to brew the tea, it is even more precise, with distinctions made between rainwater, snowmelt, well water, and spring water, and even the year and location where the water was collected must be clearly understood.

  For example, when playing the zither, Su always bathes and changes clothes before playing, and wears different finger sleeves for different songs. Not to mention, he is particularly particular about his surroundings, playing "Big Wind" must be in an octagonal pavilion on a windy and rainy day, playing "Out of the塞" can't be in a house because it's too small, and "High Mountain Flowing Water" must be by the spring. Every detail is so particular that it's annoying.

  It's a first-time experience, of course, it's admiration and enjoyment.

  But it's always like this, and it's undoubtedly very torturous.

  The county master and Liang Shi Lian Shi soon realized, made a few mistakes one after another, Su Shi disliked their worldly ways, and gradually stopped looking for them to listen to the piano, make poetry and watch words.

  When the county master mentioned this, Cui Ying suddenly relaxed.

  She's probably hard to be elegant, but as for being vulgar, she doesn't even need to practice. Let alone recite poetry or compose lyrics, she hasn't even recognized all the traditional Chinese characters yet. If this fresh and unique fourth sister sees her, it won't take a moment before she'll ask her to leave.

  Thinking so, she followed Mei Rui with a peace of mind.

  Su's residence is in Pinhuatang, with a bright exterior view, and its layout is similar to that of Cangxiang Garden.

  But as soon as she entered the door, Cui Ying was shocked.

  The flowers are like brocade, the green trees form a canopy, and various plants are scattered in a small courtyard. Under the pear blossom tree, a delicate swing is set up. What's even more amazing is that in such a small space, a fountain can still be dug out!

  The sparrow is small but has all its internal organs; in a tiny world it contains everything.

  She took a rough measurement of the size of this courtyard, feeling that it was about the same as her Cangxiang Garden, but in Cangxiang Garden, apart from a pagoda tree, there were only a few potted plants...

  At this time, a string of piano sound flowed out from the house, ding-dong, accompanied by the faint sound of spring water, like big and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.

  "Fourth Granny is playing 'Welcoming Guests', it means she's asking you to hurry in."

  Cui Ling nodded silently, thinking to herself that all the maids by Fourth Sister's side were so knowledgeable and talented, whereas she couldn't even understand what was being said, let alone be told to hurry inside.

  To her, a tone-deaf person, these melodies are pleasant to listen to, but that's all they are.

  She helplessly shrugged her shoulders and followed Mei Rui into the house.

  In front of the piano, there was a fragrant mist, the sound of fingers breaking, the smoke dispersed, revealing a delicate and elegant woman's face.

  As for her appearance, she can't be considered a stunning beauty, at least not as good-looking as Cui Ying, but she exudes an elegant and confident aura from head to toe, like a warm moonlight that instantly makes Cui Ying look dull in comparison.

  Cui Ling was still in close proximity to the fourth sister for the first time, and the other's noble elegance formed a stark contrast with her own vulgarity, causing her to stutter, "Se...seen...fourth...fourth sister."

  Su Xi slowly got up, her every move was elegant and refined. She smiled without showing her teeth, the smile in her eyes and eyebrows was just right, and the curve of her mouth was gentle, like cotton, "Speaking of which, I'm still your cousin from your mother's side, my name is Zi Hua, next time you see me, there's no need to be so nervous."

  She slightly waved her sleeve and walked gently to Cui Ying's front, "The fifth brother said before leaving that the fifth sister also likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately she couldn't practice as she wished at home. He entrusted me to point out one or two things to my younger sister when I'm free. I don't dare to be presumptuous, but this kindness of the fifth brother, as his sister-in-law, I naturally can't disappoint."

  Cui Ling's mind buzzed with activity, and indeed, it was Yuan Wulang again!
