Chapter 37: Reverse Scales
"Hou Ye is serious, the scenery of the other courtyard is very beautiful, this king has not cooked tea and poetry for a long time, the literati gathered, met many confidants, and this time I would like to thank Hou Ye for the invitation." Wu Jin smiled, and glanced at Du Qing past Yuan Xiu as he spoke, and Yuan Xiu was slightly surprised when he saw it.
In fact, he was quite surprised that Wu Jin could come. This person was sent to Shengjing by Nantu when he was young, and at that time his medical skills were not perfect, and he was treated harshly for several years. He didn't remember the things of his childhood, and he was kind and polite to others, but he was not close to anyone, easy to get along with but extremely difficult to make deep friends, and he took care of the medicine garden in the house all year round, served poisonous herbs and herbs, and rarely participated in the garden party of the children in Beijing.
Yesterday, Wu Jin went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to diagnose Yuan Rui's pulse and treat poison, and when he returned home, he met it, so he mentioned today's garden meeting in passing, thinking that he would refuse, but he never thought that he agreed. I just saw him look at Ah Qing, could it be because of her that he came?
Bosom friend......
He and Ah Qing have only met once at the palace banquet, how can they say that they are confidants?
"The prince is polite, please take a seat." Yuan Xiuxiao invited Wu Jin to the table.
Twilight's seat was next to the pavilion, just below Yuan Xiu, she was now a nouveau riche in the court, although her background was not as good as that of the sons of the Shi clan, her official position was higher than theirs. Today's garden is full of the sons and daughters of the Shengjing official eunuchs, who are similar in age to Twilight, and they have not yet married a wife, nor have they reached the age of entering the office, so Twilight has become a leader among their peers as soon as they arrive, and they have attracted much attention. It's just that she came from a humble background, and the sons of the scholar clan saw her mediocre appearance, and some people treated her with a little contempt.
Today's garden will not drink, only cook tea and fight poems, play the qin and enjoy the snow, the sons kneel and sit on the Chinese felt, there are children from the peach forest to take the snow to the red mud small furnace to add, the furnace is boiling tea nuts, there are dried fruit snacks on the table in front of them, the long qin is resting on the lap, the piano, the flute, the flute, and the words and poems, and the ability to do the most elegant things.
Yuan Xiusheng was born in the Xiangfu court, although he was a military general, he didn't like to chant poetry and make music, but he was also able to write and martial arts, and made a few side poems, but he showed the heroism of the children and won the applause of the whole garden. Zhao Liangyi and others are coarse people, they don't understand the elegance of literati, and they can't understand poetry and music. On the opposite side, across the East Lake, there are peach forests on both sides of the river, and you can't see people, but the general's ears are smart, and you can hear some warblers laughing.
Twilight Qing didn't like vassal elegance either, she only tasted tea, and didn't even listen to the tunes in her heart, but only listened attentively to the compliments of the sons of the Shi clan in the garden, and looked at everyone's expressions.
She is so cold and indifferent, Yuan Xiu and the generals of the Northwest Army are used to it, but the sons in the garden are not used to it.
"Why doesn't the Governor of Wisdom speak?" One asked.
"Withdrawn." Twilight looked at the snow in the peach forest and said lightly.
Yuan Xiu, Zhao Liangyi and the others heard this a lot, and only laughed. Wu Jin was stunned, and the son who asked was even more surprised, only to feel that Twilight Qing had a strange temperament, and he didn't like it in his heart.
"Could it be that the governor thinks that the marquis's garden party is not well entertained?" The boy asked and glanced at Yuan Xiu.
Twilight Qing is Yuan Xiu's old department, just returned to the dynasty and took the post of Jiangbei Water Division, the wind in the court overshadowed Yuan Xiu, not to mention, but also set up his own portal, it is difficult to say that Yuan Xiu did not have a grudge against this.
This remark was quite a temptation of the love between Yuan Xiu and Du Qing, and all the sons stopped when they heard the words, and looked at the two of them carefully.
Yuan Xiu smiled, only drank tea, and did not intervene.
He won't stop him from looking for death!
Twilight Qing glanced at the son, and really showed no mercy, "Sow discord, the number of paragraphs is too low, and I'm embarrassed to speak!" ”
The boy's face was hot, and he said angrily: "The governor's words are to sow discord, right?" It's just a casual question, the speaker has no intention of listening, and the governor misunderstands it, but he wants the Hou Ye to misunderstand it? ”
"Do you have a relationship with Master Hou and need to provoke?"
"You!"
The boy was so angry that his teeth fell.
Yuan Xiu drank tea to hide his smile, he had two major happy things in his life, one was to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and the other was to listen to her poisonous tongue.
Wu Jin couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
The sons looked at each other, a few days ago, hundreds of officials went down to the court, but I heard that this person was articulate, and he never thought that a mouth would really kill people like this!
Yuan Xiu is still martial, and when he was a teenager, he was not close to the children of Jingzhong who chanted the wind and the moon all day long, but everyone climbed to the Yuan family, and they just got close to him.
The boy blushed from his face to his neck, and he looked so good in the snow that he couldn't say a word.
"The governor is an upstart in the court, and he is not familiar with us, and today's facts are misunderstood." At this time, another son opened his mouth, his face was kind, but there was a mystery in his words, "Brother Hu saw that Du Du was drinking tea alone, and he was afraid that Du Du would not be used to this poetry meeting, so he kindly asked." Today's poetry meeting is the invitation of the marquis, since it is here, it is better to have fun with me. In the next is not talented, good at playing the jade flute, can play a song, the governor and the words are good? The poems made by the Hou Ye are majestic and domineering, and they are all at the border, so there must be good sentences in the future. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the sons laughed secretly.
Hou Ye was born noble, and Wen Taowu is not bad, how can others match?
A village wild horseman, can also write poetry?
Twilight's eyes were slightly cold, she had been listening to these sons for a while during the banquet, and she had the impression that he was the concubine of Cao Shangshu, named Cao Zi'an.
Hu Cao is in charge of the silver of the treasury and the salary of the court officials, and the position of Hu Cao Shangshu is poor, but the Cao family is too fat.
Cao Zi'an has loved a Qing Er in Yuchun Lou over the years, this Qing Er is the daughter of a criminal minister, and her name is Xiao Fang. This woman is lonely and proud, full of poetry and books, and would rather mutilate her legs than accept guests, but this crippled body meets the sick appetite of some gentlemen in Shengjing, Cao Zi'an did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, just to see Xiao Fang's side and read a poetry book with her. This matter was rumored by these scholars and sons, and it was only then that it was said as an interesting story.
Cao Zi'an is a concubine, and his shot is generous! Ordinary people can live a year without illness or disaster, and a thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, not to mention that these gold are just a smile of the woman in Boqinglou, Cao Zi'an didn't put this thousand taels of gold in his eyes at all, so it can be seen how rich Cao Mansion is.
Cao Fu is not the Yuan family, and there is no deep foundation of the founding nobles, and the way this gold and silver mountain comes from is quite problematic, of course, this does not mean that the Cao family is greedy for the pension silver taels of the Northwest Army, but Cao Fu also has to investigate.
It's not Cao's mansion, it will be other mansions, and a large amount of pension silver taels in the army every year will not evaporate from the world inexplicably. The soldiers defended their homes and the country at the border, but they only got twenty taels of silver for martyrdom, and they were greedy to fill the beauty cave!
Twilight didn't like Cao Zi'an, so she said, "No." ”
Cao Zi'an smiled gently, but there was contempt in his eyes, and said, "Then the governor is good at piano music?" ”
"Not good."
"Playing the flute?"
"I don't understand."
"?"
"This Cao Gongzi can do it, I don't want to." Twilight glanced at Cao Zi'an, just a normal glance, but Cao Zi'an had a strange feeling for some reason.
He is good at flute or not, why do you say that he can?
Yuan Xiu also looked at Twilight Qing in confusion, why didn't she want to give a?
Everyone thinks there is something in Twilight's words, but no one guesses what it means. It's just that seeing that Du Qing won't do this or that, the princes will inevitably despise it more heavily, and some people look at Cao Zi'an, secretly admiring him, or he has a lot of ideas, knowing that he can use this method to humiliate the village.
Yuan Xiu sat in the pavilion, looked at the expressions of the princes, his face faded, and he didn't wait for Cao Zi'an to be proud for too long, so he asked, "Dare to ask Cao Gongzi if he can dance swords?" ”
Cao Zi'an was stunned, thinking that Yuan Xiu was tired of listening to the qin songs and poems, and wanted to see people dancing swords, but he couldn't dance swords. The children of the Shengjing clan are all practicing riding and archery, but over the years, he has studied poetry and calligraphy all day long for Xiao Fang of Yuchun Tower, and he has become unfamiliar with riding and archery.
"Master Hou wants to see the sword dance, but he really can't." Cao Zi'an was a little embarrassed.
"Can you be good at knives, guns, clubs, axes, halberds, hammers, whips?" Yuan Xiu asked again.
"Not good." Cao Zi'an finally heard that something was wrong.
Yuan Xiu didn't finish asking, his eyes were dignified, and he asked four questions in a row!
"Gongzi is on the border, can you kill Hulu?"
"Gongzi is alone in a village, can he kill 800 horse bandits a day?"
"Childe has entered the Desert Underground Palace, can he solve the mechanism?"
"Give Childe a corpse, can you examine it?"
Cao Zi'an couldn't answer a word.
"What Yingrui can do, the son can't do, Ben Hou doesn't see her despise the son, why should the son despise her? The son of my Northwest Army, who killed the enemy outside the gate and stained the battlefield with blood, can also die with a scimitar in his back! Five people alone in a village can kill 800 horse bandits in one day and night, and none of the people die! The sons of my Northwest Army, crawling through the corpses, rolling in the quicksand pits, and breaking through the underground palace organs, are all first-class good sons! Whoever despises the sons of my Northwest Army is an enemy of my Yuan Xiu! Yuan Xiu's eyes were dignified, and he had seen them one by one from the sons of the scholar clan sitting in the corridor, if he hadn't thought about marrying Zhao Liangyi and a few generals who had not married his wife, and let his aunt and mother hold this poetry meeting, he would never come.
One day with him, no one will insult her, nor will anyone despise his soldiers!
"Someone!" Yuan Xiu shouted.
A soldier came out of the peach forest, and Yuan Xiu said: "Please leave the two sons of Hu Cao out of the courtyard, and I will not interact with him in the future!" ”
Cao Zi'an and that Hu Gongzi's faces turned pale, but they didn't expect Yuan Cultivation to be so vigorous.
"Master Hou, I don't know the severity, I don't mean to despise the governor and the generals in the army, I hope that Lord Hou is not strange." Only then did the two realize that they had stabbed a hornet's nest, but it was too late to apologize. Yuan Xiu spoke, and it was a military order for the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers didn't care which family's son-in-law or son-in-law the two of them were, and they directly drove people out of the other courtyard.
There was a dead silence in the garden, and all the sons had palpitations, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Twilight Qing spoke up, "I forgive me for the interest of cooking tea, fighting poems, touching the piano and appreciating the snow, the soldiers were martyred, and the family members can only get twenty taels of silver, and some people don't produce but spend a lot of money, so it's difficult for me to sit with him." I'll go for a walk in the woods, and you can go on. ”――
