Chapter 217 Tang Li Showing Off Her Skill
There were all kinds of people here. In short, although they were rich ladies, they didn’t get by just because of their identities. They were all women who were familiar with the four arts.
As they spoke, someone asked Tang Li,
“Fourth Madam, we all know that you graduated from a foreign language school, but what else do you know besides foreign language? We usually choose a few subjects in university. What about you? What did you choose in university?”
“Also, do you know the four arts?”
“Or do you have other talents?”
After everyone finished asking, they all looked at Tang Li curiously. At the same time, they said, “We’re just asking. It’s fine if you don’t want to answer.”
Tang Zitong, who was sitting beside Tang Li, was so angry that she almost laughed. This time, she said, “My Fourth Sister knows a lot of things!”
“Really? I knew Fourth Madam must be capable of many things. Otherwise, she wouldn’t Fourth Madam in the first place.”
Tang Zitong was speechless.
She had a feeling that she had pushed Tang Li into a fire pit.
Tang Li looked at Tang Zitong, who was kicking herself, and reached out to take a glass of wine.
“Everyone must be thirsty after talking for so long. Why don’t we have a drink first? After that, I’ll tell you what I know.”
Everyone was waiting for Tang Li to embarrass herself. Hearing that, they immediately went to get the wine.
After everyone was done with their drinks, Tang Li said, “Come on, bottoms up.”
Everyone was struck dumb.
Tang Zitong was speechless.
No one dared to defy Tang Li. They quickly raised their glasses and drank the wine in one go.
There were many servants waiting in the garden. At that moment, Tang Li called out, “Go get some more wine. There are so many of us here. How can this little wine be enough?”
Everyone was speechless.
After the servants brought over a lot of wine, Tang Li asked them to pour the wine glasses in everyone’s hands.
She raised the glass up again and said, “It’s a happy day today, so I’m not gonna lie to you. I’m going to tell you everything. Arts…”
As soon as Tang Li spoke, everyone’s ears perked up.
They had only heard that Tang Li knew how to play the Suona and the Guqin, but they were not impressed by that.
At that moment, Tang Li lowered her eyes to look at the liquid in the wine glass. She said with embarrassment, “I don’t know much about art.”
With that, she looked up and said innocently, “Don’t laugh at me.”
Why did she admit it so easily?!
However, they felt great to know that Tang Li didn’t know art at all.
After a strange silence, a woman was in a good mood. She was overjoyed and said pretentiously, “Everyone has their own strengths. Fourth Madam doesn’t know art, so she probably knows something else.”
The others also smirked secretly, but in their face, they had an understanding look.
“Yes, yes, yes! Everyone has their own strengths.”
“Come, let’s drink.”
“That’s right, Fourth Madam. It’s not embarrassing if you don’t know anything.”
This time, everyone wanted to toast Tang Li.
Tang Li did not reject any of them and gulped down one glass after another.
This encouraged the others to gulp down their glasses as well just so they wouldn’t lose to Tang Li.
The servants came in to pour wine for everyone again.
Tang Zitong, who was sitting beside Tang Li, pulled a long face and thought to herself, “Fourth Sister, I didn’t know you liked self-deprecating. Can’t you see that their mouths are so wide that they are about to
tear?”
Tang Zitong was too angry and was about to gulp down her glass of wine.
At that moment, Tang Li pressed her arm and said, “Second Sister, take it easy. You are not good at drinking.”
Tang Zitong said to her angrily, “You sound like you can drink a lot. Aren’t you the same as me?”
When everyone heard this, they thought that they might as well get some information out of her before getting her drunk.
At the thought of this, the group of women rubbed their fists.
“Fourth Madam, what do you know?”
“Do you know how to do business?” Tang Li glanced at everyone and sighed. She then shook her head. “No, I’ve never done business.”
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone was satisfied with the answer Tang Li gave them.
What was the difference between Tang Li and a blockhead?
At that moment, Tang Li added, “I only know how to spend my husband’s money. It’s his fault for earning so much money. I won’t be able to spend it all even if I spend ten lifetimes! What a pity~”
Everyone paused and thought to themselves, “Shut up bitch!”
Was she just showing off?
Humph! What a good-for-nothing! She only knew how to spend Fourth Master’s money. What was there to show off?
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do business. There are many people here who don’t know how to do business either.”
“I think the Qi family’s wine is really delicious. Come, let’s drink.”
This time, before Tang Li could take a sip, the others did first.
Tang Li smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you guys to be so good at drinking. I feel a little dizzy after drinking a few glasses.”
When everyone heard that she was dizzy, they started prying into her again.
“Then what does Fourth Madam know?” someone asked.
“I know how to read fortunes.” Tang Li looked at everyone and asked seriously, “Do you want me to read your fortunes? Let me tell you, I can read fortunes.”
Everyone thought Tang Li sounded like a fraud.
At the thought that Tang Li knew nothing, everyone smiled triumphantly.
“Forget about fortune-telling. Everyone, let’s drink. This wine is the best I’ve ever drunk.”
“I think so too. It’s too delicious.”
As everyone spoke, they downed another
glass.
The red wine was quite strong. Everyone drank three glasses in a row and felt a little light-headed.
Some people were so happy that they said they wanted to show off their talents.
Tang Li immediately got the servants to bring in many instruments.
Soon, there were people singing, dancing, and playing instruments.
The garden was extremely lively.
The news quickly spread to the hall, and many people came out to take a look.
Tang Li supported her face with one hand and swirled the wine glass with the other. She listened to the song with a look of enjoyment and said to Tang Zitong, who was so angry that she did not want to speak, “Second Sister, there’s a free performance. If you miss it, you won’t get another chance.”
It suddenly dawned on Tang Zitong.
So, Fourth Sister did it on purpose?!
This realization finally made Tang Zitong happier.
