Chapter 66: Competition

"Although there are colorful boats and clouds, the green peaks are like clusters. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gao Chi said thoughtfully: "But there is also a prosperous competition, and grief and hatred continue. ”

"Anyone who comes here," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Whether it is a swordsman who has been all over the princes, a hero who has been a prime minister, or a king with a strong heart, when he arrives in Jinling, he has turned into a pool of water and crushed it on the shore of Qinhuai." ”

The journey to Chunwa Palace is very short, and it will be there after a while.

They paid their respects to the East Palace, and the grandson and the princess Ma came out to greet them together, and everyone was in harmony.

"Brother Gao Chi," Gao Chi and Zhang Zhaohua bowed down, "Bring the bride Zhang to meet His Royal Highness the Taisun." ”

The grandson is two years older than Gao Chi, and his father Prince Yiwen is the brother of King Yan, so Gao Chi calls Zhu Yunwen his brother, but Zhu Yunwen is not the oldest in their generation, Zhu Jixi, the son of King Jin, was born in the eighth year of Hongwu, and Hongwu married the princess in the twenty-fourth year, and now the eldest son is one and a half years old.

According to the etiquette system, Gao Chi and Zhang Zhaohua had to bow four times. The East Palace sits, and the East Palace Concubine immediately receives two bows and two bows.

But Ma did not stand up and say goodbye.

When the prince of Jin married before, the grandson had not yet married a concubine. Now the prince of Yan Wang is the third person in their generation to marry in addition to the prince of Jin and the grandson, and at this time, the Ma family has entered the East Palace, it is impossible for her not to know this etiquette. Seeing that he may be a personal grudge that both parties know, he doesn't say goodbye - but after that, there is the princess of King Zhou, can she not say goodbye?

Zhang Zhaohua found that the female officials around Ma did not speak out to correct him, and no one felt that Ma should not worship.

Zhang Zhaohua had a guess in his heart.

"Where does Brother Wang come from?" asked the grandson kindly.

"The courtiers have finished meeting from the palace," Gao Chi replied respectfully, "Come and meet His Highness, and talk about the friendship of relatives." ”

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Zhaohua took a good look at the grandson's appearance. It can be said that he is a weak person, and his body bones don't look very strong, as if he can't bear the weight of clothes, and Zhang Zhaohua reminds him of two irrelevant words for no reason.

One is "Wu Belt When the Wind", which was originally a word to describe the folds of clothes in ancient figure paintings, saying that the painted clothes and belts are like being blown by the wind and have the appearance of fluttering in the wind. This word is placed on Zhu Yunwen, Zhang Zhaohua feels that the regular clothes he is wearing, the sleeves and corners of the robe are really loose, maybe the little wind that blows out the candle can drive his placket.

Another word is called "Cao Yi out of the water", which also refers to the folds of clothes in ancient figure paintings, but the meaning is just the opposite of "Wu with the wind", the characters painted with this painting method seem to be dressed in tulle, as if they have just been fished out of the water, so the clothes are mostly tightly tied to the body, just like Gao Chi's dress, no matter how you look at it, it is worn by the flesh.

The difference between the two cousins is really a bit big.

The grandson and Zhu Gaochi spoke, and Ma pulled Zhang Zhaohua to talk affectionately. She asked, "How does it feel, bride?"

Zhang Zhaohua didn't say anything, just lowered his head and made a gesture of shame.

The grandson turned around, looked at them like this, and seemed to remember that they had read the selection together and lived together for more than half a year, so he said happily: "You are sisters who have become concubines, and now there are more things to say!"

"If you want me to say, my brother-in-law is high, but she is a Jinshi who is not a monk, how much stronger than me?" Ma covered his mouth and smiled: "In the past, when I was waiting to be selected in the museum, all the inscriptions were the first to come out, and I cited the four books and five classics on the side, and the pen gave birth to flowers, which masterpiece was not read to us as a submission by the female officials and grandmothers!"

"Oh," Ma suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "I remember, when the palace was elected, why didn't the younger brother-in-law's talent be revealed? But you couldn't even write big characters! Fortunately, you sang a song about driving cattle again, and you won the emperor's favor, otherwise we wouldn't have the fate to sit and talk today!"

Ma's words, his intentions are sinister, it is really difficult to describe what happens.

She has touched the pulse of the grandson for so many years, and knows that he likes to learn, likes to talk about the past, and also likes women who can talk to him about the past and the present, but he can't see that women are higher, he is deeply influenced by the emperor, and feels that women only need to be pleasing to the eye, and they are to be embellishments on the dragon robe, and they will never give equal shoulder to shoulder, and they will never face up to women's talents, and they will never let women be higher than themselves.

This should be a common problem for all men.

She is confident that such a statement can not only attract the dissatisfaction of the grandson, but also plant a small heart seedling in the prince of Yanwang.

Sure enough, the grandson frowned slightly: "Talent is not a woman's business, after learning this, you can't be like a man to set up a career and take the imperial examination." ”

"Yes," Zhang Zhaohua bowed his head and replied: "The younger brother-in-law originally ran for the election to be a female official, but now she is lucky to be elected and become a heavenly wife, whether it is literacy or accounting, it is all for the purpose of being practical in the future, and she can assist the princess in taking care of the inner house." ”

Gao Chi is not afraid of her, when she met when she was six years old, Zhang Zhaohua answered such a similar question with her head held high, she said "Taiping is not rewarded, and reading is not worth it"!

To this day, she has always felt that reading is the most worthwhile thing she has ever done in her two lives.

Explanations are superfluous, and those who understand you will naturally understand, without the need for explanations. People who don't understand you are not worth explaining.

Zhang Zhaohua's words, in fact, also hit back at Ma's roundabout allusion to her scheming, because as she said, she was obviously rich and rich, but she abandoned showing her talent during the palace election, but catered to her intentions - isn't the emperor just born as a cow herder, Zhang Zhaohua sang a song about the cow to the emperor's heart, and even made the emperor blue-eyed, and almost pointed her out to his grandson.

Is there anything wrong with catering to the will, yes, and it is good to welcome the ground, it is definitely a lot of benefits. Everyone tacitly panders to each other, but they can't be named, and the person who is pointed out will definitely be the target of the public. This is like in the imperial examination of the outer court, if everyone guesses who the examiner is in advance, they will secretly buy his articles and read them carefully to see what style he likes, and write in that style when he writes, so that the chance of winning the list is naturally greater.

It's okay for everyone to do this, but if someone is woven openly, they must be scolded and attacked. Especially with insinuations like Ma's, smart people can hear it as soon as they hear it, she is saying that Zhang Zhaohua is favored by the emperor, and she is greeted by the meeting, and her character is no different from a treacherous villain with three swords.

The grandson and the prince are both gentlemen, one is ancient, the other is square, and naturally they don't look down on such a character the most - but fortunately, Zhang Zhaohua said a long time ago that I was running for a female official and wanted to eliminate myself in the last round and stay in the palace to serve, so I hid my talent.

Ma has a wonderful point, she will not please for a while, and she is not strong, so she immediately died down and blew the wind lightly, as if it was not her who provoked the gunsmoke just now. It's just that in Zhang Zhaohua's eyes, such a girl likes to be smart the most, and only treats others as stupid, and everyone in the world can be played with by her in a few words or a little trick.

Coming out of the East Palace, Gao Chi and Zhang Zhaohua left their entourage far away, and started talking with their hands.

In the sleeves hanging down from Gao Chi, in fact, two hands were crossed. Zhang Zhaohua was held by him like this, and he didn't know what it was like, and he was a little embarrassed and annoying when he thought about it.

Because the weakness of the prince is well known, Zhang Zhaohua hugged him like this, and no one stood up to accuse.

"There's a reason why Concubine Taisun didn't stand up and say goodbye," Gao Chi said: "You don't have to be guilty. ”
