Su Xiaolu laughed heartily. “Hahaha, Brother Shi, you’re too slow.”

Su Xiaolu only stopped when Chen Shi could not run anymore. She injected an Internal force into Chen Shi to ward off the cold and let him rest in the pavilion.

Sun Baoshan ran to Su Xiaolu and handed her a water bottle. “Here, drink some water.”

Su Xiaolu waved her hand. “Thank you. I’m not drinking now.”

Su Xiaolu walked towards Su Xiaoling and Sun Baoqian. They were building a snowman.

Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling were very skilled. The snow tiger they piled up was vivid.

Everyone’s hands were red from the cold, and they were all smiling.

Su Xiaolu also helped.

On the other hand, Su Chong, Su Hua, Zhou Heng, and Lin Yaoyao played with the Flying Flower Token. There was no time limit. With two people in one team, Su Chong naturally became Lin Yaoyao’s teammate as he wished.

Su Hua and Zhou Heng were on the same team.

The word given was ‘Snow’.

Lin Yaoyao raised her chin slightly and said coldly, “Then I’ll start. The dogs bark at the firewood door, and snow returns to people on a snowy night.” It was from Liu Changqing’s “The Master of Hibiscus Mountain.”

Su Hua smiled and continued, “The white snow is as bright as the moon in the clouds.”—Zhuo Wenjun’s “White Headed Poem”.

Su Chong also accepted it happily. “The grass withers, the eagle’s eyes are sick, and the hooves are light when the snow finishes.”—Wang Wei’s “Observation of the Hunt”.

Zhou Heng casually added, “The people by the side of the river are like the moon, their fair wrists are like frost and snow.”—Wei Zhuang, “Bodhisattva Barbarian, Everyone says that Jiangnan is good”.

Lin Yaoyao continued.

The four of them exchanged blows, and the competition was intense.

The few of them had fun and attracted the attention of the adults in the pavilion.

Chen Hu couldn’t help but sigh. “Teacher Lin’s daughter is so talented. She recites ancient poems the moment she opens her mouth. Unlike us, we only know how to say that the snow is so heavy and beautiful.”

Madam Qian covered her mouth and smiled.

As Su Chong and the others played the Flying Flower Token more and more intensely, Su Xiaolu and the others went over.

Lin Yaoyao was really talented. The Flying Flower Token was nothing to her.

The first round ended with Lin Yaoyao winning.

The second round began with the words ‘Plum Blossoms’.

It was still Lin Yaoyao who started. She said calmly, “The plum blossoms are broken before and many years later.” — Du Fu’s “Jiang Mei”.

Su Hua and Zhou Heng were also very attentive.

The Flying Flower Token was simple in the beginning because there were many poems that he remembered. However, as time passed, many familiar poems were said. This was a test of one’s poetic skills.

This was a game that scholars liked very much.

Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng attended many talent exchange banquets. They were very familiar with the game. Lin Yaoyao’s foundation shocked them.

Everyone was having a great time.

In the end, Su Chong could not receive it. Even Zhou Heng could not receive it. Su Hua and Lin Yaoyao thought deeply and hard.

In the end, the words “Plum Blossoms” ended with Su Hua winning a round.

Hence, the third round began. This time, they took the word ‘flower’.

Su Hua smiled faintly and said, “When a person is idle, osmanthus flowers fall. When night falls, spring mountains are empty.” Unknown (Tang Dynasty).

Lin Yaoyao’s lips curled up slightly. “There’s a day when flowers will bloom again, but one will no longer be young again.” (Chen) Song Dynasty

The four of them went back and forth. They were in high spirits.

Su Xiaolu was anxious and vexed when she saw that Su Chong could not receive it. Su Xiaolu smiled and said to Su Chong, “Brother, we haven’t fought in a long time. Sister Yaoyao is fighting two people alone and Li Yu is invincible. Why don’t we dance with swords to entertain them?”

Su Chong looked at Lin Yaoyao and nodded. “Okay.”

Without a sword, Su Xiaolu and Su Chong broke a peach branch. Su Xiaolu cupped her hands and shouted, “Brother, look at the sword.”

Sun Baoqian volunteered. “I’m here to join in the fun and help sis Yaoyao.”

Sun Baoqian also joined in.

Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “Then I’ll go barbecue.”

Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu smiled and went over to help. They whispered to Su Xiaoling, “Sister Yaoyao is really amazing.”

Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded in agreement.

The exciting Flying Flower Token, delicious roasted meat, and Su Xiaolu and Su Chong’s valiant sword moves made people feel good.

Lin Pingsheng looked at his proud disciples and daughters kindly. He was so happy that he kept stroking his beard.

His daughter was quite talented. Be it the four books, five sutras, or poetry, she did not lose to anyone.

If she was a man, she would probably be in the top three of the imperial examination.

He was very proud of his daughter’s ambition.

He smiled again and again.

In the end, the three rounds of the Flying Flower Token ended with Lin Yaoyao winning the ‘flower’ round. In two out of three rounds, Lin Yaoyao won.

Su Hua and Zhou Heng cupped their hands and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister.”

Lin Yaoyao was in a good mood. Her expression was no longer as cold as before. She lowered her head slightly and said humbly, “I don’t deserve your guidance. Thank you for giving in.”

Although she won, it was still a narrow victory.

Su Hua had only been in school for a few years and she had been in school for many years. Hence, Su Hua’s intelligence and talent were far above hers.

“Xiaolu, you’re really impressive. Su Chong is also impressive. I didn’t know that your martial arts were so good.”

Lin Yaoyao praised Su Chong and Su Xiaolu sincerely.

She looked at the handsome Su Chong. His martial arts skills were really surprising. His literature skills were not bad either. He had actually cultivated such good martial arts. The difficulty of practicing martial arts was no less than studying. He was really outstanding to be able to be strong.

Su Xiaolu was the same. She was good at medicine. Even her martial arts were so good. She was really powerful.

“Thank you for your compliment, sis Yaoyao.”

Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and held Lin Yaoyao’s arm. “Let’s go. The delicious food is ready. Let’s go eat. Sister Baoqian, let’s go.”

Lin Yaoyao smiled slightly. Su Xiaolu was very energetic. Her smile was bright and sweet, making people like her at first glance.

Lin Yaoyao did not dislike being pulled away by Su Xiaolu at all.

Sun Baoqian also smiled faintly and followed with a red face.

She secretly let out a long breath. Just now, she accidentally met Su Hua’s eyes. He smiled gently at her, and Sun Baoqian felt as if she had been hit by something.

Something had long taken root in silence.

Everyone ate roasted meat, snacks, and drank warm wine.

They returned to the city in the afternoon.

After returning to the city, they parted ways and went home.

Chen Xing leaned on Chen Hu’s shoulder and promised him softly, “Father, when I grow up, I’ll definitely be as good as Eldest Brother and Second Brother. In the future, I’ll also exchange knowledge with Senior Sister Lin and play with the Flying Flower Token. I’ll strive to defeat her too.”

Chen Hu laughed out loud at Chen Xing’s ambition.

Madam Qian also smiled. She patted Chen Xing’s back and said softly, “Then our Brother Xing will have to work hard.”

Su Hua walked to Chen Hu’s side and touched Chen Xing’s back. “Xiao Xing is awesome. I saved all the books that Eldest Brother and Second Brother used for you and Brother Shi.”

As he spoke, Su Hua patted Chen Shi’s shoulder again. “Brother Shi, you have to work hard.”

“Don’t worry, Second Brother. I will work hard.”

Chen Shi nodded. He liked to practice martial arts and wanted to become someone like Su Chong. Su Chong’s martial arts were advanced and his knowledge was not bad, so he naturally had to work hard.
