Chapter 041: Temptation
(Thanks to the battlefield girl, thelionking for the gift~)
Gantang Yaji, in the final analysis, is still a competition.
However, with Concubine Shun's consideration of Zheng Heng in the past, this time Yaji has a different meaning.
The rest of the girls always felt that no matter how much they tried in the future, it was just the icing on the cake.
In terms of brilliance, who can compare to Zheng Heng who showed his face alone in front of Concubine Shun? Although many people at this time did not even know the specific origin of Zheng Heng. ββThe Yongning Marquis Mansion is a noble family, but the most important thing in Hedong Road is the family.
He De regretted that her intestines were blue, and she thought to herself that she shouldn't pry Pei Suizhu to take this breath, but now it's good, let Zheng Heng win the jackpot in vain.
Compared with the complicated feelings of these girls, Zheng Heng's heart is very pure, and his face is more calm.
Concubine Shun's intention, she is already very clear. Presumably, Pei Ding and the others are clearer.
Or is it for the teacher, or is it for the secret guard in the teacher's hands?
To this day, Zheng Heng no longer knows how many people are left in that secret guard. What can be known is that the imperial court cares about the teacher very much, well, to be precise, very jealous.
What's more, the imperial court couldn't find a teacher, so they had to look for clues through Gantang Yaji.
Zheng Heng doesn't need to think about it to know that the calligraphy and paintings that Zhou Dian gave to Concubine Shun later must be like flowers. She was sure that Concubine Shun and the others would be disappointed.
Thinking of this, Zheng Heng set his eyes on the girl next to Hede, Pei Suizhu.
Zheng Heng was extremely clear, knowing that Pei Suizhu's resentment was deliberately pretended, in order to relieve her.
She has no intersection with Pei Suizhu, presumably Pei Suizhu said something to help, it must be because of Pei Ding.
Zheng Heng is clear about the low-key nature of the Pei family, but now in order to relieve her, Pei Suizhu has revealed his identity. Although she may not be unable to think of a way herself, she accepted the Pei family's heart.
From this point of view, the Pei family is quite protective of the collaborators, and it is in vain that she made a deal with the Pei family.
Pei Suizhu over there seemed to be aware of it, tilted his head slightly, and showed a sly look at Zheng Heng while everyone was not paying attention.
This girl......
Pei Xian's palm beads turned out to be such a smart girl!
It seems that the news of the Royal Secret Guard is not accurate.
Xu is because the Pei family has produced a Pei Zhou who has made great achievements in water control, and the children of the Pei family are very talented on the waterway.
Naturally, Pei Xian's daughter, Zheng Heng had paid attention.
But the news she received before was that Pei Sui Zhumu was stupid and dull, and she really mistook the sky.
The Pei family's ability to keep it secret made Zheng Heng even more impressed.
couldn't help but look at Pei Ding. Pei Ding and Ye Yong, why did they appear here in Gantang Yaji?
Zheng Heng didn't know the answer.
At this time, Qiu Yangge had already sat down in the middle with Concubine Shun, and unexpectedly, Pei Ding and Ye Yong sat down in the judgment position.
No wonder they are here, it turns out to be judges. These two people are so young, they look out of place with Mr. Yudong on the side. Why did Concubine Shun let these two people serve as the judges of Gantang Yaji? This did not conform to the previous rules of Gantang Yaji.
Zheng Heng found that in addition to himself, Qiu Yangge and Mr. Yudong all showed strange looks, not to mention other girls. The way they looked at these two people was an indescribable eagerness.
Also, Pei Ding and Ye Yong are both outstanding, and even Concubine Shun is courteous to them, which shows that their identities are extraordinary. None of these girls are married, so who wouldn't take a closer look?
The one who has been lacking interest from beginning to end is Zheng Heng, who calls himself a "mourner" in his heart.
The next ceremony, there is not much to say, it is nothing more than to show the majesty of the heavenly family and the meaning of the elegant collection, and Zheng Heng does not care.
It wasn't until Concubine Shun mentioned the names of He De and Pei Suizhu that she briefly mentioned her spirit.
I only heard Concubine Shun say: "This palace heard that He Jia'e Ade is studying at Yudong Girls' School. The He family's poetry is heirloom, and Ade is young and undertakes court training, so he will not disappoint the palace. Shicai also has the little beads of the Pei family, who are famous. Your skills, this palace wants to see it. β
The meaning of these words is to ask He De and Pei Suizhu to compete, why these two people?
Concubine Shun studied herself in order to find out the whereabouts of the teacher, so what was the purpose of the He family and the Pei family?
Pei Suizhu was surprised in his eyes, obviously surprised. But He De quickly glanced in the direction of Pei Ding and Ye Yong, and his face slowly turned red.
In an instant, Zheng Heng was blessed to his heart.
He De's talent was famous in Yudong Xue Palace, and it was obvious that Concubine Shun deliberately gave He De a chance to perform! Concubine Shun came all the way to Hedong Road, in addition to listening to Hongzhu's body, she also wanted to be a matchmaker for the Pei family!
However, as far as Zheng Heng knew, the He family and the Pei family were not compatible.
He De is the niece of Zheng Heng's stepmother He, and his father He Yingtang is just a six-grade Guoyi lieutenant. The person who can be said to be in the He family is just a concubine in the harem. The marriage of the world pays more attention to the right family, why does Concubine Shun want to be such a matchmaker?
Moreover, Concubine Shun and Concubine He are both concubines in the palace, and it is impossible for her to increase her power for other concubines, so isn't she making wedding dresses for others?
What made Zheng Heng even more strange was that Concubine Shun actually specified the topic. This question is neither about calligraphy and painting, nor about poetry, but about answering a question about Concubine Shun.
What is this question, Zheng Heng, like the other girls, is listening attentively.
Seeing the demeanor of the girls, Concubine Shun nodded with satisfaction, her eyes fell on He De and Pei Suizhu, and said: "If you want to learn poetry, calligraphy and painting, both of them are very proficient, and this palace is not exquisite." Before leaving the palace, the emperor asked the palace a question, that is, how to be a good harem woman. Now this palace will ask you, how to be a good wife of an official family?"
Hearing this question, He De and Pei Suizhu were stunned.
According to what Concubine Shun said, where is the meaning of Concubine Shun herself in this question? This is clearly the emperor's instruction! This is the question asked by the emperor, no matter how simple it is, the answer must be very cautious!
No one knows how this answer can satisfy Concubine Shun and the emperor.
Zheng Heng sighed secretly in his heart. This question seems simple, but it is actually a deep trap, which is mainly for Pei Suizhu.
As we all know, the Pei family has been gone for three generations. As Pei Suizhu, who is the grandson of the Pei family, her answer represents the direction of the Pei family in a sense. This is not studying Pei Suizhu, but testing the Pei family!
How is this good, Pei Suizhu, a girl who is out of the smart girl, can she perceive the doorway?
Mourning family, do you want to give her a hint Zheng Heng thought so in his heart, and slowly moved his steps towards Pei Suizhu.
(PS: The official family, in the Great Song Dynasty, refers to the emperor, but here it refers to the official's family, hehe.) οΌ
