Whenever someone in the women's courtyard composed a poem or wrote something, there would always be someone loudly reciting it. As a result, the young gentlemen in the neighboring courtyard could hear everything clearly. This situation greatly stimulated them, and soon the sound of reciting poetry from the neighboring courtyard could be heard in the women's courtyard.
Su Xiyun felt drowsy as she listened. It was just some pain-filled murmurs about spring and autumn, which she was used to from the great works of poets like Li Bai and Du Fu in her previous life. She was not interested in these at all. Of course, she had no intention of composing a poem or two to seek fame and reputation. She even stopped drinking her tea and sat there with her eyes closed, conserving her energy.
"Third sister, don't you want to perform as well?" Su Daiyun, who had already finished her performance, walked up to Su Xiyun and asked gently.
Su Xiyun fluttered her eyelids and casually replied, "Not interested."
Su Daiyun smiled and said, "Look, everyone is showcasing their talents with such enthusiasm. Why don't you also perform something?"
Su Xiyun opened her eyes and said, "Then I'll sing a song."
Su Daiyun's expression froze for a moment, and she said, "That's too frivolous. How about showcasing your calligraphy skills? Here, I have a poem. Write it out for everyone to see!" With that, she took out a pre-written poem from her sleeve.
Finally, it's here! Su Xiyun's spirits were lifted. In the novel, Su Xiyun personally wrote a poem at this moment, the same one that Su Daiyun held in her hands. It was a poem with a hidden message, where the first character of each line spelled out "Qin Xiao, I really like you!"
Blatantly exposing this flaw, Su Xiyun was too preoccupied with showing off to notice it. She even thought that her elder sister had thoughtfully arranged this for her! Even if her reputation was ultimately ruined, Su Daiyun would only tell her it was her own mistake, and she would easily forgive her! The reputation of women in ancient times was more important than anything else! I really don't know what Su Xiyun has in her head, maybe it's just nonsense!
Although she didn't like Su Xiyun before, in this matter, she still stood on Su Xiyun's side.
Gathering her thoughts, now transformed into Sun Qian, Su Xiyun didn't even reach out to take the poem from Su Daiyun. Instead, she took a step back and pretended to be surprised as she exclaimed, "Elder sister, you personally wrote a poem! Show it to everyone!" Her loud voice attracted everyone's attention.
When Su Daiyun took out the poem, no one noticed because she had avoided the crowd and handed it to Su Xiyun. But she never expected that Su Xiyun wouldn't even take what she was offering and instead loudly shouted! This was completely different from what she had imagined! For a moment, Su Daiyun was in a sorry state, holding the paper as if it were a hot potato, not knowing whether to throw it away or keep it.
The first thought that came to Su Daiyun's mind was to turn the tables and say that Su Xiyun had taken the opportunity to give her the poem when no one was looking. However, the fact that Su Xiyun had never touched a brush was witnessed by everyone. Su Daiyun immediately thought of saying that the poem was prepared by Su Xiyun in advance, with the purpose of framing her. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Su Xiyun's faint voice saying to her, "Elder sister, have you thought it through? The handwriting on it is yours."
