Chapter 491: The Wind Rises and the Waves Swell (5)_1
However, the old lady quickly thought of Lin Ziyin’s ability, and her tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Si Jinyu also exhaled. Despite what she felt inside, she had to protect Lin Ziyin because the Prince had ordered her to do so. As a member of the Wang Residence, she had to obey. "Grandmother, we want to play too."
"Yes, let’s go to Shili Village in a few days. With the crowd, we can all have a hearty laugh," Luo Yanlan agreed with a smile.
Li Yanran sneered at Lin Ziyin’s performance. Just keep pretending. A peasant girl trying to be elegant? You won’t be smiling for long.
"Well, in that case, whoever writes the best verse can add a bit of color," suggested the old lady Luo, smiling, "This old woman is a bit older, and I’d like to contribute one hundred silver to entertain the old lady Li."
"If you’re willing to contribute, I’ll add a hundred silver," The old Lady Si and the old Lady Wu also agreed, sponsors contributing with laughter.
"Today is my birthday. I can’t just watch you all contribute. Well, I’ll put in five hundred silver. The top winner gets five hundred silver, the runner-up two hundred, and the third place one hundred. Let’s say the theme is the chrysanthemum," the old lady Li said, finally getting into the spirit as she saw the young people brimming with enthusiasm.
"Ladies and Misses, now that several old ladies have put up prizes, you all have to put your abilities to the test and take the prizes back home," Mrs. You said in a joking manner, her beautiful eyes slanting at Lin Ziyin.
Lin Ziyin, busy having an enjoyable conversation with Si Jinyu and Luo Yanlan by her side, seemed not to be aware that Mrs. You was deliberately targeting her.
"Let the young ones have fun. We old folks will just watch from the sidelines," laughed the old lady Wu.
