Mrs. Lin proposed to leave and return to Suzhou, but Mrs. Zheng naturally warmly retained her, and she had to stay in Jinling for a few more days. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin still felt ashamed, the Zheng family had taken care of it very well, and promised to stay for two more days.

Jinling holds a poetry meeting every three years, which is jointly organized by Xie Lao of the Xie family and several scholars with some knowledge. Xie Lao invited not only scholars, but also sons and daughters of various families, and even poor young people who had read books, and those who wanted to see Xie Lao's knowledge could go and watch. Xie Lao will also test the knowledge of those young sons, and if he meets someone with good qualifications and has won his eye, no matter his humble status, he will be accepted under the door at the moment and taught carefully.

Xie Lao's talent has long been famous.

When he was a member of the second rank of the dynasty, in the second year of Taiping Xingguo, Ding Chouke champion Lu Mengzheng, his master was Xie Lao.

Lu Meng is a generous and upright person, and now he is deeply favored, and his official position is rising step by step.

I think that Lu Mengzheng is not from a poor family, but he has also lived a down-to-earth life. Although the biological mother Liu is a wife, because of the large number of relatives in the biological father, the relationship between the parents is not harmonious, and the biological father kicked Liu and Lu Mengzheng out of the house together. Lu Mengzheng was not passive and decadent because of the embarrassment of life, but studied hard and studied everywhere.

Xie Lao's talent at that time was already famous all over the world, Lu Meng was coming to Jinling, begging Xie Lao to accept him as an apprentice, and after getting his wish, he studied hard and was diligent and studious.

Nowadays, there are naturally a lot of people who want to worship Xie Lao as a teacher, and there are countless people who come from other places every three years, and Xie Lao's apprentices will be more demanding every three years. Let those students with shallow knowledge can only stop.

In this way, Jinling is naturally indispensable, and many young talents are indispensable to join it. Where there are young talents, there are some young ladies of the right age. In this way, this triennial poetry meeting has become a grand blind date meeting, and many romantic and beautiful stories of talented women have been encountered.

At that time, the Confucius Temple in the west of the Qinhuai River had a different reputation from the Wuyi Lane of the old dynasty. It's just that the former is on the west bank of the Qinhuai River, and the latter is on the east side of the Qinhuai River, and the Wuyi Lane on the east side has long been a thing. No more prosperity.

The Confucius Temple was built to worship Confucius, hoping that the scholars would follow the path of the sages and sages and receive enlightenment. And every three years, the poetry meeting will be held in the Confucius Temple.

In the last life. Yan Hanyu came to participate in Xie Lao's poetry meeting.

The prefect Master Zheng was invited to participate in the poetry meeting, and his three enlightened sons also participated, and his purpose was to let his son also have one who could be included in Xie Lao's sect and gain a reputation in the future. Revitalize the Zheng family. Carry forward the Zheng family.

Xie Lao is an old man who is over the age of old, with white eyebrows and long beard, elegant bearing, and he is not gentle when talking to people, but he can't tell that he is an old man at all.

The four generations and three generations of the Xie family are all academically profound, but none of them have entered the court as officials. Yan Hanyu couldn't figure it out, but she didn't feel the need to figure it out.

The Confucius Temple is close to the Qinhuai River, and there is a hibiscus forest on the bank of the Qinhuai River. The breath is faintly fragrant, and Yan Hanyu is idle there. Looking at the large patch of hibiscus flowers, he muttered to himself, "Hibiscus flowers, the color is white, the flowers are big, its taste is sweet and bitter, cool, has the effect of clearing heat, cooling blood, dampness, can cure dysentery......"

"Cousin Hanyu, cousin Hanyu ......"

Yan Hanyu was silently reciting the medicinal effects of hibiscus flowers, and was still thinking about harvesting some to take home, but was suddenly interrupted by a surprised and hurried voice.

"Cousin Nian'er, is there something wrong?, so happy?" she turned around and asked Lin Nian'er puzzled.

Lin Nian'er was full of smiles, almost running all the way, her steps were light, "Cousin Nian'er, why are you still here?" Old Xie is going to accept apprentices, just now Old Xie said that in addition to his great-grandson, Cousin Zheng has the best knowledge in Jinling, and Elder Xie seems to be interested in accepting Cousin Zheng as an apprentice. It's really great!"

"Oh, is it?

Lin Nian'er's cheeks were crimson, her lips were crooked, and she nodded again and again, "Really, really, they all said so." ”

"That's also the matter of Prince Zheng, it has nothing to do with us, why is Cousin Nian'er so happy?" Yan Hanyu seemed to laugh.

Lin Nian'er's pretty face turned even redder, "Cousin Hanyu, Cousin Zheng is our cousin, if Cousin Zheng worships under Xie Laomen, it will be a very dignified thing, of course I am happy." ”

Yan Hanyu didn't smile with a smile on her face, and didn't continue her topic, but should, "Well, I'm going to see my grandmother, Cousin Nian'er wants to go with me?"

"My grandmother and eldest sister were talking to the old lady of the Xie family, I saw it from afar, so I didn't go, so I came to look for you. ”

My grandmother went to talk to the old lady of the Xie family, it was nothing more than because of the marriage between Lin Ping'er and Lin Nian'er, Lin Ping'er's temperament and grandmother's fancy was Zheng An, and the Xie family were all scholars, so it was inevitable that they would have a high heart, so my grandmother would not put Lin Ping'er in the Xie family, but thought that Lin Nian'er's heart was more suitable for the Xie family. My grandmother didn't care how high the family was, nor did she value how talented that person was, she only looked at what was suitable and what was not suitable.

Lin Nian'er didn't want to go over, but she didn't make up because she knew her grandmother's thoughts, and now she was thinking about Zheng Junxi, so she almost told her grandmother what was on her mind.

"If Cousin Nian'er doesn't go, I'll go. ”

"After half an hour, Elder Xie will continue to lecture, will Cousin Hanyu come?"

"I'll wait until I go to see my grandmother. ”

Xie Lao's lecture, Yan Hanyu naturally wanted to listen.

After saying goodbye to Lin Nian'er, Yan Hanyu went in the direction of her grandmother, and when she arrived at a place where no one passed, Yan Hanyu said in a low voice, "Mama Hong, you can go." ”

"Miss, are you alone?"

"It's okay, Mama Hong, don't worry, I'll go find my grandmother, and besides, I'm not helpless, I'll protect myself, and I'll be fine." ”

Mama Hong knew that Yan Hanyu had a silver needle to protect herself, so she should be separated from Yan Hanyu.

Although Mrs. Lin is said to be a military general, she has a bold and uninhibited temperament, and Mrs. Xie has been immersed in the Xiangmen since she was a child, knowledgeable, dignified and gentle, but the two old people only hated to meet too late, and the topic went from the scenery of Suzhou and Jinling to the customs and habits of the two places, and from the children and grandchildren to the pain of their respective fates.

The four generations of the Xie family are in the same house, Xie Lao is the old man of the Xie family, and Mrs. Xie is the eldest daughter-in-law of Xie Lao, and now she is also a lot of age, but her husband died when she was young, leaving a son. Mrs. Xie has a good character, and she has educated her sons and grandchildren very well for so many years.

And the children and grandchildren of the Xie family, those with good qualifications, are all carefully cultivated by Xie Lao himself.

When Yan Hanyu saw Mrs. Xie, she inevitably saluted her elders. The old lady Xie knew that she was the granddaughter of the Taifu, so she couldn't help it, helped her up, and praised her for being gentle and noble, she was really a child of a noble family. (To be continued.) )
