   Chapter 161 The depths of flowers and trees

   The new members of the Fushan Club need to draw lots. Qiao Zhao didn't know the details, but seeing that everyone around was no different, he knew that although Du Feixue was obviously targeting her, there was a rule.

  The game of the girl's family is nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and flower tea. In this regard, Miss Qiao has always belonged to the kind of "girl from other people's family", so she has nothing to be afraid of.

   She stretched out her hand generously and drew a lottery from the multicolored lottery tube.

"Let's see what lottery Miss Li San drew." Du Feixue waved his hand, and the maid who was holding the colorful lottery ticket backed away, took the lottery from Qiao Zhao and glanced at it, smiled and said to Jiang Shiran, " Miss Jiang, you will come up with the topic of today's test to teach newcomers."

Afraid that Qiao Zhao would not understand, Du Feixue pointed to the word "Jiang" engraved on the signature, and explained: "Our Fushan Club has five vice presidents. The president came to give a question to the newcomer. The word 'jiang' drawn by Miss Li San represents Miss Jiang."

  Qiao Zhao nodded to indicate that he understood, and looked at Jiang Shiran with a calm expression: "Understood, then please ask Miss Jiang to answer the question."

Jiang Shiran reached out and took the flower sign from Du Feixue's hand and glanced at it lightly, stared at Qiao Zhao for a moment, then smiled: "Fushan Club hasn't joined for a long time, and it's been a while before it opens. Club, let me think about the topic this time, let’s continue to play first.”

   Although it is a gimmick of Fushan Society, it is actually just a reason for the ladies to get together, but it is of a higher grade.

  As the host, Du Feixue organized everyone to fight poems with the theme of "Lotus". Those who are interested can show their talents. If they are not interested, they can play chess and enjoy the flowers, or even chat together.

   Of course, Qiao Zhao didn't plan to write any surprising and brilliant poems to compete for the limelight. Her attention was all on Kou Zimo, her uncle's eldest cousin.

   Today, Kou Zimo wore a lilac-colored floral-patterned robe, and sat quietly in the corner drinking tea, giving the impression that he was enveloped in a layer of light sorrow.

  Qiao Zhao thought for a while, raised his foot to go over, but was pulled by Su Luoyi.

   "Lisan sister, how about we talk about a game?"

   "Oh, good." As for Su Luoyi, who introduced her to the agency, Qiao Zhao naturally couldn't refuse such a small request.

  The long pavilion in the garden is covered with vines and blooming with small flowers. The wind blows and shakes, making it cooler than indoors.

  Qiao Zhao and Su Luoyi sat opposite each other at the stone table where the chessboard had been set up earlier, and began to play the game. Her thoughts were all on Kou Zimo's place, and when she suddenly saw Kou Zimo get up and go out with a girl, she was suddenly impatient and could not help speeding up the attack.

  Su Luoyi was forced to retreat again and again, and it didn't take long for her forehead to sweat, and the defeat was set.

   Looking at the disastrous situation, Su Luoyi squeezed the chess piece, blinked and cried.

   Miss Joe: "..." She didn't mean it!

   Zhu Yan, the seventh girl from Taining Hou's mansion, who did not know when to watch the battle, chuckled softly: "Luo Yi, it turns out that you will cry if you lose a game of chess, but unfortunately I can't play you, so I have never had a chance to see you."

   Being made fun of by his friends, Su Luoyi was embarrassed. He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and explained to Qiao Zhao, "I made Li San's sister laugh. Actually, I didn't cry, it was Sha Zi's eyes that narrowed."

  Qiao Zhao: "..." He expressed his belief that it was too hypocritical, and he was afraid that Miss Su would cry again after exposing it. Oh, I suddenly felt that a girl like Li Jiao was easy to get along with.

   After all, once you provoke her, you can just return it. It's more casual.

Su Luoyi also obviously realized that the excuse he made was bad, and simply said frankly: "In terms of chess skills, I always feel that I have no opponent among the noble girls in the capital, and I am a frog at the bottom of the well. I was actually excited just now, thinking about the future. Sister Li San pointed out that her chess skills could be improved, so she couldn't help crying with joy."

   Zhu Yan chuckled: "Luo Yi, you scared Miss Li San." Then she smiled at Qiao Zhao: "Miss Li San, don't take offense, she is an idiot."

  Su Luoyi and Zhu Yan were obviously very familiar. Hearing this, he got up and pulled Zhu Yan to the stone bench, and said angrily, "Come here if you can."

   Zhu Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't have to be ugly, my chess skills are not as good as yours."

  Su Luoyi's talent was smoother now, and he snorted softly: "I'm thinking, with Li San's chess skills, even if your brother comes, it won't last long."

In Zhu Yan's heart, her brother is fine with everything, but just after watching the game between Su Luoyi and Qiao Zhao, she couldn't say anything against her heart, and counterattacked: "Why do you mention my brother? My brother is not comparable. I don't know about Miss Li San, but it's okay to beat you."

   "I've never played against one another, so I don't admit it."

   Zhu Yan glanced at the distance and said with a chuckle: "Actually, my brother is here too today, but unfortunately it is not convenient for you to meet."

  Mentioning this, she turned her attention to Qiao Zhao.

  Lisan girl may know her brother, although he didn't say it clearly, he couldn't hide it from her.

How did brother    meet Lisan girl?

   Zhu Yan is not a gossip person, but it is different when it comes to his elder brother.

It's a pity that it's too rude to talk in a simple way. She couldn't ask this question, so she pressed her doubts in her heart and instead reminded: "Miss Jiang is good at throwing pots, riding and shooting, and she will ask Miss Li San a question later. , it is very likely related to her director, Miss Li San must have a number in her heart."

"Thank you Miss Zhu for the suggestion." Kou Zimo's figure has long disappeared from the corner of his eyes. Although Qiao Zhao had a good impression of Zhu Yan and Su Luoyi, he didn't want to talk more, got up and said apologetically, "I'll go to the clean room, the two of you. Do you want to be with my sister?"

  Su Luoyi burst out with a smile: "It's not a little girl anymore, and you still go to the clean room? Sister Li San, go, I want to slow down my mood in the next game with Zhu Yan, you just abused me too hard."

  Qiao Zhao asked a maid to lead her to the clean room. After coming out, he said to the maid, "You can do your own work. I think there are roses blooming well over there. Go and have a look."

  Today, Du Feixue was entertaining all the girls in the garden, so he made arrangements not to let any messy people intrude in, so that the girls could move freely.

   The maid bowed her knees when she heard the words: "Young lady, please do it yourself, if you have any orders, call me a maid."

   Finally, there was no one else around, Qiao Zhao raised his foot and walked towards the direction where Kou Zimo disappeared.

   She gradually walked to the depths of the flowers and trees, and across the lush flowers and trees heard the girl's soft voice: "Light Rain, don't be sad, I'll ask my grandfather back to see if there is any news about my uncle."

  Qiao Zhao heard that this was Kou Zimo's voice.

Another girl's voice was a little cold: "No need, my father was arrested by Jin Linwei, and if Sister Zimo goes to ask Kou Shangshu, it will definitely make him embarrassed, and maybe even reprimand you. Sister Zimo, let's It's been so long, I'm saying goodbye to you today, and I'm afraid I won't participate in the gathering of Fushan Society in the future."
