Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 195 Ancient World 12: Flower Viewing Banquet

"I had already sent a message home earlier. I originally wanted to invite my second uncle to study at home. After all, as a man, it would be good for him to make some friends outside."

"Having another Zhizhi wouldn't be a big deal now. There are many children of the same age there. Maybe Zhizhi can make some good friends!"

Deng Zijin nodded continuously. This was indeed good news.

The fact that both of his sons and daughters were able to enter the school of Master Zhang was definitely a blessing they had always wished for.

And since the daughter-in-law has said this, it proves that she has already made arrangements and all she needs to do is go there.

Zuo Zhizhi was also very happy.

Although going to school is not a happy thing, it is different in ancient schools.

Men need to achieve success and pass exams to gain fame, so the six arts are indispensable for a gentleman.

But women are relatively less stressed. Although they are studying, the workload is not heavy and they just make some friends.

The most important thing is that you can go out to study without being stuck at home all day. If you see other people’s posts, you can also visit other people’s homes, which is definitely a reason for you!

Sure enough, Zhang Songlan took some time to take Zuo Qingyu and Zuo Zhizhi to school.

Although it is called a school, it is just a house next to Master Zhang's house. There are not many living spaces in it, and most of it is used as a study place for students.

Because there are both men and women among them, a certain degree of distinction is made and it will not be criticized by outsiders.

The most important thing is that most of the students here are children of princes and high-ranking officials. Children of fourth-rank officials like Zuo Zhizhi all got in through the backdoor.

Zuo Zhizhi had a good time in the girls' school, just as she had expected. Although she had to learn to read and write, the requirements were not very high.

I can recognize and write commonly used characters. The only requirement is that the handwriting must be regular and neat. It took me a lot of effort to practice the small regular script with hairpin flowers.

However, these are things that need to be trained slowly in the future, so there is no need to rush.

In addition, they have to learn a lot, such as housekeeping, accounting, and various entertainment facilities.

After all, life as a woman in ancient times could be said to be very boring. Since you couldn't go out and have fun, you had to create a good environment at home.

Zuo Zhizhi was very satisfied with it, especially the various small games, such as pitching pots, fighting with grass, and even in summer, there were polo, shooting and other activities.

Although she is not fully involved now, Zuo Zhizhi is full of longing for her future life.

This is the ancient life that I like. Although there is learning, it is more about entertainment with others. Even if there are no various electronic facilities, it is a very pleasant thing for a few friends to get together and have fun.

The most important thing is that Zuo Zhizhi also met a lot of people here. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and naturally there are all kinds of big melons!

It’s just that everyone is still young, and it’s not time for the story to really begin, so Zuo Zhizhi could only sigh slightly and put this matter aside for later.

It’s not too late to pay attention when the story begins. The most important thing now is to enjoy life.

After a while, Deng Zijin informed Zuo Zhizhi that he would attend the flower viewing banquet at the Yongchang Earl's Mansion.

Because I am 9 years old now. Although I am not old, it is time for me to go out and meet people.

That's why I had a share in this flower viewing banquet.

I asked some good friends in the school and found that basically everyone knew about this.

After all, the flower viewing banquet hosted by the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is naturally not just for viewing flowers. The most important purpose this time is to find a wife for the second son of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

Although these children are not yet of marriageable age, there are always some older sisters or relatives who are of marriageable age, so there are quite a few posts about this flower viewing banquet.

Zuo Zhizhi was very interested in this blind date party. Apart from anything else, there must be a lot of big news gathered.

Although my friend is young and there is nothing worth discovering about him, there will definitely be something exciting happening at this party.

Zuo Zhizhi couldn't wait to see what exciting things would happen at this banquet!

Although it was a flower viewing party, it was not possible to just enjoy the flowers. Therefore, the married women drank tea and chatted in the main hall.

People from the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion were naturally included. The Marquis's wife was enthusiastically giving instructions to the people around her. Because she was busy, Zuo Zhizhi and the others did not disturb her.

Deng Zijin and Zhang Songlan sat in their seats, chatting with people around them, enjoying the flowers and drinking tea, appearing very calm.

Those who are as calm as them are those whose children of marriageable age are already married, and they will have to wait a few more years for the remaining children.

Those who have children of marriageable age naturally gathered together enthusiastically, wanting to choose a perfect husband and wife for their children.

As for those who are a little younger, they naturally play games alone outside. The games are not too childish, but very interesting. The test is whether everyone can throw the arrow into the tiny bottle mouth.

The people in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion also prepared some jewelry as prizes. Everyone was eager to try and couldn't wait to get these things.

Zuo Zhizhi didn’t practice throwing pots very often, she only started after entering school.

But in order not to lose to others, she practiced at home for a period of time, so now she can throw it quite well.

What's more, after the tempering in the previous life, Zuo Zhizhi's mental strength has made a qualitative leap. Although the invisibility ability in the previous life has disappeared, she has gained a new ability in this life, that is, invisibility.

Although the two have different abilities, there is not much difference in their effects.

It can also improve physical fitness, and with the help of her own mental power, it was easy for Zuo Zhizhi to win the pot-throwing competition.

Although fighting with a bunch of little brats would damage his reputation, he was only a 9-year-old child now, so naturally he didn't care about so many things.

What's more, there were several children in their teens participating in the game, so it wasn't too embarrassing to beat them.

After some exercise, everyone was a little sweaty, so they went to the guest room prepared by the Earl's Mansion to change into the clothes they had brought with them, and then they went to the theme of this flower viewing banquet.

Those women of marriageable age are now gathered in the garden one by one. After all, this was the original purpose, and naturally they are the focus of everyone.

They are already at the age of dating, so they naturally know the purpose of their visit and are therefore trying their best to perform well.

Women prefer to be steady, so they did not play games, but instead painted, wrote poems, admired flowers and drank tea in the garden.

Naturally, there were special people who reported every move of these people to the ladies in the inner courtyard.
