Chapter 191 Leader
Song Lin smiled, looked at Yun Yan, and said,
"I've decided. If you give me a return gift, I'll come and pick it up in person. Shall we arrange a place?"
"what?"
Yun Yan and Mu Qingheng said in unison.
"Then it's settled. I think we should meet here at Penglai Teahouse. I'll treat you to tea here at 11:00 tomorrow morning."
"Oh, okay." Yun Yan agreed.
Turning around and seeing Mu Qingheng's disappointed look, he said to him, "Come here too. Tell me what you want and I'll bring it to you."
"That's great." Mu Qingheng was immediately happy again.
Song Lin fanned himself and felt somewhat envious at how good their relationship was.
"Are you here to chat and watch the fun instead of attending the poetry competition?"
Mu Qingli said, "Yes, this excitement is more interesting than attending a poetry reading."
This was true. Yun Xi and the others were leaning against the window and watching the scene happily.
Song Lin's eyes fell on Yun Xi. The girl's back was full of joy. It also made people feel happy inexplicably.
"Wow, Song Bingning is here today too."
Mu Hanling excitedly shook Yun Xi's arm, cried out softly, and stole a glance at Song Lin.
When Yun Xi heard the name, she also had the surname Song. Looking at Mu Hanling's reaction, this girl with the surname Song was most likely a member of Song Lin's family.
"My eldest niece has already said that she will come to participate in the poetry reading today. Now that she is here, I'm sure she will be the champion." Song Lin was confident and proud.
"Not necessarily. Shu Yi's literary talent is obvious to all. He should be determined to win the top spot today." Mu Qingli said.
"If Shuyi can win the first place today, he won't have to worry about being kicked out of the house by his stepmother in the future," Mu Qingheng also said.
"Humph, a man like him can still be controlled by his stepmother. I think it's all in vain for him to read all those sage books."
Song Lin spoke with contempt, he must have heard about Zhu Shuyi's situation, he obviously looked down on this man.
"Besides, his literary talent is nothing. It is far inferior to my niece's. Wanting to defeat my niece today? Humph, it's just a foolish dream."
Mu Qingheng opened his mouth to say something, but Mu Qingli stopped him in time and shook his head at him.
Song Lin seemed to understand them and sneered, "Why, do you want my niece to let him?"
"Oh, a famous scholar from Songhe Academy still needs a woman to give way to him in a poetry contest. If this gets out, he won't be laughed at."
Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at Song Lin. His words seemed to be looking down on Zhu Shuyi, but in fact, he was also considering him.
A respectable student relied on a woman to give way to him. Even if he won the first place in the end, he would have lost his integrity.
If someone with ulterior motives uses this to make a fuss, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my head up again.
"But Shuyi needs this leader." Mu Qingheng said.
"Oh, who doesn't need it? Bing Ning needs it too. My old man has said that if she can win the first prize in this poetry competition, she will be free to decide her own marriage in the future."
"Ah? This..."
Mu Qingheng was stunned. The others were not much better.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the Song family was no ordinary family.
When it comes to marriage, you’re the one who makes the decision!
This was a very open-minded idea in ancient times when marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers.
As for the condition of winning the first prize, if Song Bingning's knowledge is really good, then this condition is meaningless.
It was just an opportunity and excuse for Song Bingning to take control of her marriage.
And this must be what Song Bingning asked for herself.
This is indeed very important for a woman.
It seems that Song Bingning is determined to fight to the end for today's championship.
Yun Xi suddenly became curious about Song Bingning. She must be a very smart, opinionated and decisive woman.
