I am not a good person

Pu Ze was still very angry, there were only two people on board in other boats according to the number of thin bamboo poles, and there was one more on their boat.

Unless all three are there at the end of the race, it is considered a win. Otherwise, if one falls into the water, even if there are two people in the end like the other boats, it is still a loss.

Hua Shangxue had no choice but to calm down his anger: "Pu Ze, don't you believe in your own strength?"

Pu Ze couldn't stand aggressive tactics the most, and immediately scoffed: "How is that possible!"

His complexion became better now, and he told Jinli to hold on to it, and then he took the bamboo pole and pushed it hard on the rocks on the shore, and the boat slid away from the water and headed for the center of the lake. .

When all the boats rowed to the middle of the lake, the housekeeper gave an order, and the lake immediately became chaotic, with people stabbing people with bamboo poles everywhere.

Pu Ze and Hua Shangxue kept the boat steady while attacking people, and at the same time, they had to beware of being attacked.

Jin Li didn't want to cause trouble for them, so she lowered her body deliberately, and was vigilant, ready to dodge at any time.

After poking the three of them into the water, Pu Ze shouted impatiently: "Don't move!"

Jin Li turned her head in confusion.

Hua Shangxue was also at a loss, and fought back angrily: "Who moved, I want you not to move! Just now, my old lady almost got him down, and you were the one who dangled around, causing my old lady to miss the opportunity! I haven't complained to you yet, but you complained first, who gave you the courage, ah!"

Pu Ze didn't respond at first, but after a while he suddenly turned around and said in a strange tone, "You just said you didn't move?"

Hua Shangxue rolled her eyes angrily: "Now we are two grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so I can fool you!"

Pu Ze let out a "huh" and calmed down: "Sister Hua, don't be too busy, look!" He pointed in several different directions, and it was the other boats that still had people.

The other few small boats were floating on the lake, people had already been poked down, floating up and down in the water, the housekeeper had already rowed people to rescue them, but they hadn't arrived yet.

How clever Hua Shangxue was, she quickly understood what he meant: "What's going on here?"

Some people on the boat were no worse than them in their feet, and their movements in wielding bamboo poles were also very small. Why was the boat still swaying, and it might capsize at any time?

Pu Ze lowered his head in thought, staring at his feet: "I suspect there is something wrong with this boat!"

His voice was not small, and most people on the shore heard it.

The rich man showed admiration, and the steward also said: "Young man has good eyesight! This boat is indeed different from ordinary boats. Stones are placed in the narrow cabins under the bottom of each boat, and the placement is not in the center. The balance required for this ship is also quite different from usual!”

Pu Ze smiled lightly, and told the two women to stabilize their bodies. Then he shook his body vigorously back and forth with his legs, and tapped a spot with his toes: "I guess the stone is here. Jin Li, sit to the right."

Jin Li moved her butt as she said, and when Pu Ze shook his body again, the swing of the boat was significantly smaller than before, so he and Hua Shangxue looked at each other, raised the bamboo pole and continued stabbing people.

The people on the other boats were not as fast as Pu Ze, and they were still looking for the position of the rock, or they were not looking for a support at all. Pu Ze and Hua Shangxue poked people into the water one by one without any effort!

There is still a reward for the third round, which is the green glass anklet that can repel insects and snakes and is most suitable for summer use. It looks like a green jade bracelet, but it is brighter and moister than the jade bracelet.

Pu Ze put it on excitedly, and intentionally approached the ant nest with the foot wearing the ankle ring, but only one palm away, the ants lost their direction and fled in all directions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true!" He took off the anklet lovingly, held it in his hand and touched it: "I want to have it for myself!"

Jin Li still remembered how he yelled at himself just now, and snorted softly: "You've already won, and it's all yours, so why are you so hypocritical? You don't mean to make others envy you by saying such things. envy of you?"

Pu Ze frowned, hesitated to speak, and finally endured it. After all, the task is the most important and must not be revealed.

The butler clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "After three games in a row, everyone must be tired. For the next two games, we will come to some less laborious ones. How about dancing and writing?"

Pu Ze and Hua Shangxue's expressions suddenly changed, and their faces were bitter: "Too bad, Boss Yang claims to be talented in literature, and almost won the first prize in the exam, but he is not here at this time!"

The two stared at each other, then looked at Jinli in tacit understanding.

Jin Li quickly waved her hand: "My father hired teachers for me, but I chased out nine out of ten, and the rest is not bad. He is willing to accompany me to climb trees to dig out bird eggs, and go down the river to catch small fish!"

"I'll go!" Pu Ze covered his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look directly.

Hua Shangxue touched her cheek: "Dingyan Zhu, I heard that no matter life or death, as long as you wear it on your body, you can maintain your appearance. I think as long as you are a woman, you will be tempted."

"That's natural!" A deep and magnetic male voice came from behind.

The three of them were startled and quickly turned around.

At some point, a man in his twenties stood behind them. He was dressed in a neat long gown embroidered with bamboo leaves and a pair of simple white boots. With his fair skin and regular facial features, he looked spotless.

Hua Shangxue frowned: "Who are you?" What she hated most was when others stood behind silently and made sudden noises!

The man cupped his hands with a natural expression: "My servant is Wu Tianshu."

Pu Ze said coldly, "I've never heard of it."

Wu Tianshu didn't care about their attitude at all, and said with a smile: "I'm an unknown person, it's normal if I haven't heard of it."

His eyes fell on Hua Shangxue: "It's just that what the girl said just now touched people's hearts, and I couldn't help but agree with it, please forgive me!"

Hua Shangxue's expression was strange: "Speaking of people's hearts? Hehe, this son, like what I said just now, only women can feel the same, you are a man..."

She looked Wu Tianshu up and down, quite ironically: "But yes, who said that only women can love beauty? Sometimes, men are more narcissistic than women, and they have to love their unattractive face—— "

Wu Tianshu's face flushed slightly, but his tone was still gentle: "The body, hair and skin of the parents, no matter how tall or short, beautiful or ugly, they should love and cherish them."

Hua Shangxue opened her mouth, but said nothing. She always felt that this man's comprehension ability might be different from that of ordinary people. She obviously didn't mean it that way, but was forced to change her concept by this man.

Therefore, she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Wu Tianshu did not give up: "Excuse me, I just overheard a few people talking, it seems that I was worried about the next two games. Excuse me, this little brother has already got the green glass anklet, three treasures If I get one, I should be content."

Pu Ze put away the anklets, with a rascal expression on his face: "What do you mean, you say I'm greedy? I like Qingli anklets, and Sister Hua likes Dingyan beads. Even if we go to get them, it's up to us to get them." The ability, you are an outsider, why do you care so much?"

Wu Tianshu forced a smile uncomfortably: "I mean, I have read some books. If you two are not sure, I am willing to help you in the next two games!"

Hearing this, the three of them began to observe him intently, and Pu Ze asked, "Are you taking the number one prize?"

Wu Tianshu shook his head: "No, in fact, I am also a member of the rivers and lakes. Reading is just a kind of fun to pass the time when I have nothing to do."

Jin Li asked: "Then if you go to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, will you pass the exam?"

Wu Tianshu's forehead was sweating: "This... is not as good as the top one. It's not a bad idea to squeeze into the second and third."

Jin Li and Pu Ze were stunned at the same time, looking at each other blankly.

On the contrary, Hua Shangxue showed surprise. She grew up with Zhou Qiuyang's childhood sweetheart, and when she was young, the Zhou family also wanted Zhou Qiuyang to study for a ranking.

Although it didn't work out in the end, she learned a lot of things out of concern, such as what the first, second, third, and third meant.

She hurriedly cupped her hands and put away her previous contempt: "Since that's the case, let's thank Mr. Wu first!"

Pu Ze and Jin Li didn't know the reason for her change of attitude, so they bent down and bowed after her.

Wu Tianshu laughed very comfortably this time: "There is no need to be polite! I am also joining in the fun, and such treasures are of no use to me!"

In the fourth scene, it was not writing, but painting and calligraphy.

The butler ordered people to bring in many tables and chairs, and prepared the four treasures of the study. He pointed to a certain place in the villa and asked to draw it within the specified time.To put it bluntly, it is a sketch of ink painting.

Hua Shangxue was anxious at first, but seeing Wu Tianshu's calm expression, he hesitated a little at the scenery, then dropped the brush in his hand to the paper, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking at it, Hua Shangxue suddenly found that expression very familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, it suddenly occurred to her that she had seen such a scene several times, all in the Jingxu Pavilion, when she was bored, she went to find Zhao Zenian, Zhao Zenian was either sleeping and practicing kung fu, or practicing calligraphy and painting with a brush.

Don't look at his erratic behavior, which is often unpredictable, but when he is quiet or focused on doing something, he looks like a young man, with a personable demeanor and restrained temperament, as gentle as jade, quiet and beautiful!

Remembering, Hua Shangxue couldn't help but her body trembled.It wasn't until this time that she realized how much she had neglected Zhao Zenian.

If she hadn't found a similar temperament in others, in her eyes, Zhao Zenian would always be just the younger brother who rescued her in distress.

Speaking of which, she had known Zhao Zenian for several years, but she hadn't asked him who he was and why he joined Jingxu Pavilion.

Hua Shangxue thought to herself, next time I have a chance, I must ask Zhao Zenian, I believe he will tell me.

When she came back to her senses, Wu Tianshu had also finished drawing, and was checking carefully with her head down.

Hua Shangxue watched leisurely, and subconsciously compared him with Zhao Zenian: Zhao Zenian was more restrained and deep than Wu Tianshu, and Wu Tianshu was a little more gentle and casual than Zhao Zenian.

Suddenly her body was hugged, and Jin Li happily cheered at her: "Sister Hua! Mr. Wu won, we won!"

Hua Shangxue smiled subconsciously.
