Chapter Twenty-Three: A Gesture of Kindness

"Wind and rain in autumn, begonias thin,

Golden chrysanthemums bloom fragrant all over the building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Chongyang appreciates thousands of silks.

After dusk, the East Fence wine,

The hides the bridgehead.

Pen and ink dyed red sleeves. ”

"Good!" Everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

The male guests downstairs have already talked about it when they hear so many masterpieces. An editor of Hanlin Yuan is now full of interest to evaluate the masterpieces of suitable talents.

"This work of the lord of Xiaoran County, quite a bit of the legacy of Tao Gong of the previous dynasty, the autumn chrysanthemum in the day, the wine at dusk, this kind of mood is very popular, and it is also how many people in the world ask for it but can't be leisurely."

"Lord Fang has won the award, the little girl just admires the good name of Tao Gong, and Mu Tao Gong's state of mind cannot be compared with it." Duanyang Wang Lin Cheng replied.

"The long and short sentences of the Xiaoran County Lord are certainly wonderful, but they are not as poetic as Her Royal Highness the Princess." Another adult spoke. "Don't compete with the flowers for the spring crown, only in this season, isn't it proud of independence!"

Literati and writers all respect the demeanor and integrity, and naturally the chrysanthemum in this poem is no exception.

"If Lord Zhang talks about being proudly independent, I'm afraid it's not as good as Brother Fu's eldest daughter." This Lord Zhang is a former protégé of Pingnanhou, and as soon as this remark came out, it attracted the refutation of an official who was friendly with the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

"The poetic conception of the Fu family's daughter is sad and dark, but it is not as sunny and noble as the six princesses." Someone else said.

"The poems of the Fu family are full of autumn and killing, strong contrast, and finally show the character of chrysanthemums, 'Ning Lao Zhi is not willing to sink' is not a portrayal of vitality? It's even better to compare it like that! The official commented.

"But this poem is quite resentful, and at such a young age, I am only afraid of ......"

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel because of Fu Yanxi's poems, Lin Cheng had no choice but to interrupt: "The chrysanthemum banquet is made in response to the poem, if a few adults are unhappy because of this, won't they waste this beautiful scenery in vain." Now that the rain has passed, the two highnesses and the adults should have a good time watching it in this autumn garden. ”

"What Uncle Wang said is reasonable, this king has been yearning for all kinds of famous products in Qiuhua Garden for a long time, and he just felt that he couldn't enjoy the flowers, but now he can enjoy the autumn flowers." The third prince, Helian Congyu, said.

When the officials saw the third prince say this, they also expressed their interest. However, Fu Qingyan and Fu Zichen's faces were a little worried.

Fu Yanxi is just a woman raised in the boudoir, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, why is there such a miserable meaning. Fu Qingyan was puzzled.

But Fu Zichen was related to the changes in his sister a few days ago, and then looked at today's poems, his sister was thinking too much, just afraid that it would hurt her body and mind.

The women upstairs heard that the male guests downstairs had left to enjoy the flowers, and they were also a little nervous. Princess Duanyang saw that it was not easy to be restrained, and the ultimate purpose of the flower banquet was this, so she also announced that the ladies could enjoy the flowers freely.

Mo Lingyun wanted Fu Yanxi to get to know more noble girls of the same age, so he sent her to visit the garden, and he chatted with a few kind ladies.

Fu Yanxi walked out of the flower appreciation building, and went straight to the place where the purple dragon was planted. When Fu Wanrong saw that she was alone, she hurriedly followed.

"Big sister, the poems you wrote are really good, and several adults from the Hanlin Academy are blushing and thick-necked for you." Fu Wanrong asked tentatively. How could she never know that Fu Yanxi could write poetry before? Is it true that she is on their guard, as Mother said?

Fu Yanxi heard the meaning of her words, and was tired of dealing with her in her heart, so she feigned anger and said: "How can the second sister say this, if people listen to it, wouldn't it be misunderstood?" How can it be said that several adults are learning from each other for their knowledge? The second sister must not talk so nonsense. That being said, Fu Yanxi still showed a faint sense of self-satisfaction.

Fu Wanrong was relieved. Women's vanity is their greatest weakness, and it can only be concealed in front of those close to them. It seems that Fu Yanxi still trusts her as before, so that the next thing is easy to say.

The two came to the flower garden of Zilong Woxue together, Fu Yanxi quietly admired the graceful flowers in front of her, and felt that the lead in her heart was completely washed away.

Fu Wanrong had no intention of appreciating the flowers, she no longer concealed the jealousy in her heart, and stared fiercely at the back of Fu Yanxi's neck. One day, she will replace Fu Yanxi and become the most honorable lady in the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

"This is my father's favorite breed, and it turns out that Miss Fu also likes it." A gentle female voice came from behind her. Fu Wanrong hurriedly hid the emotion in her eyes and turned around.

"Yan Xi has seen the county lord of Xiaoran." Fu Yanxi turned around and saluted when she heard the sound.

"Rong'er has seen Lord Xiaoran." Fu Wanrong also saluted with Qiao Shengsheng, in order to leave a good impression on the county lord of Xiaoran.

"No need to be polite." Lin Yishu stepped forward to help her, and then said: "I only learned today that Sister Fu is talented, and I will have to come out and walk around more in the future, so you and my sisters can learn from each other, right?" ”

Fu Yanxi nodded yes when she heard this, she had a very good impression of this gentle and atmospheric Xiaoran county lord.

"Does Sister Fu like Zilong Woxue?" Lin Yishu asked.

"Back to the county lord, exactly." Fu Yanxi replied.

"You don't have to be polite, you and I hate each other late, I am two years older than you, so how about being your sister?" Lin Yishu said with a smile.

"Thanks to my sister's love, my sister-in-law is honored." Fu Yanxi is not twisted, and she is as good as a stream.

Fu Wanrong watched the conversation between the two as if no one was around, and she didn't seem to notice herself, and she was very dissatisfied in her heart. I don't know what kind of eyes this Xiaoran county lord has, but he will have Fu Yanxi's blue eyes. If he loses the opportunity at this time and lets Fu Yanxi take the lead, he will not be able to attract Lin Shizi's attention.

Thinking of this, Fu Wanrong hurriedly spoke: "The county lord's sister is so fond of it, Zhenjiao Rong'er is flattered. Rong'er is really happy for her big sister. On weekdays, I am the eldest sister with my sister-in-law, and the eldest sister of the three sisters is only the most intimate with me, and now I can know the sound, which is really good. Big sister, the county lord has a noble status and is an extraordinary learner, this time you won't feel that it is difficult to get along with people, and you won't speculate. ”

The implication is that Fu Yanxi clings to the powerful, pretending to be high, and by the way, she also respects her background and talents.

Fu Yanxi was very disdainful of Fu Wanrong's careful thoughts. Fu Wanrong is scheming, but she treats everyone else as a fool and thinks she is extremely smart. Where do you know that others just don't say it.

Lin Yishu only smiled at Fu Wanrong when she heard this, but still said to Fu Wanxi: "If Sister Yan'er likes the purple dragon lying in the snow, you can transplant one back, with her sister's character, she must be a flower lover." ”

"My sister praised it falsely. Although I love flowers, but I don't know flowers, these flowers should be carefully cared for, dedicated to care, if it is in the hands of the child, I am afraid that it will wither in the near future, and it is a pity that this flower season is in vain. There are many skilled craftsmen in this autumn garden, and this is the most suitable place for them. As long as I can see the flower blooming, it doesn't matter whether it belongs to me or not. Fu Yanxi looked at the graceful and gorgeous purple dragon lying on the ground, and said with a sigh.

"Miss Fu is really a person who pities flowers and cherishes flowers, but she doesn't know that there are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches!"
