Tian Susu said slowly: "Let's do it well next time, we can't do it next time." The poetry meeting is not held only once, but four times a year. Each time the molecule money is forty or fifty taels of silver, and two hundred taels of silver a year, which is not a small amount. You and I can afford it, and it's hard to say anything about other little girls. ”

Li Jingjing said softly: "The royal party sent the silver money from the queen's mother last time. We can't overshadow the royal faction, right? ”

Deng Yun's eyes lowered and said, "Let me think about it again." ”

He Yiyun walked slowly on another cobblestone path in the garden with Mingzhu and Yinzhu, and when several civilian-official ladies saw her, they immediately accompanied her to talk while walking.

Wang Yanyu combed his hair and wore a snow-white long skirt, sitting alone on the stone bench of the pavilion, playing with the newly obtained Suzhou double-sided embroidered brocade lady picture fan, looking at it from a distance, it was amazingly beautiful.

"That's Wang Yanyu?"

"Is her face so good?"

"Isn't it said that it is a stubborn disease that can never be cured?"

Several young ladies had different expressions, and they all fell into He Yiyun's eyes.

Wang Yanyu got up and bowed respectfully, and said coquettishly: "Yu Niang has seen Princess Yun. ”

He Yiyun said: "Your illness is cured, and you look more beautiful than before." ”

Wang Yanyu Yingying walked over, looked at He Yiyun, and said: "This time my illness is completely cured, and I can eat seafood, especially the black-skinned dumplings made with cuttlefish juice, and it is okay to eat as many as I want." ”

"That's even better." He Yiyun nodded slightly, and walked forward.

No matter what the royal family is doing now, Wang Shufei, who is supported by the royal family, once participated in the murder of Murong Ying, who was pregnant. He Yiyun will always remember this incident.

After a while, all the women gathered in the largest pavilion in the garden-Tingfeng Building.

Ouyang Xiuluo stood up generously and said loudly: "This is a poem between the three factions, the two factions that win, each young lady has a hearty lunch, and the losing faction, each young lady only has refreshments and fruits." ”

Qin Wanjing whispered in Li Jingjing's ear: "Ouyang Xiu is a little anxious, and the food is not enough, so it can be said that it can be justified with this method." ”

Li Jingjing said in a low voice: "There are more than 200 young ladies sent by civil officials, and if they win, there will still be not enough to eat." ”

Tian Susu smiled evilly: "It seems that we have won with the royal faction this time." ”

The rules of the poetry club are the same as the previous time, each of the three factions will come up with a poem title, and then each will select three poems for reference.

"Wait, all you have in your hand are the three poems that you think are the best, I don't think these three poems are good!" Wang Yanyu stood up and took a few steps forward to stop Ouyang Xiu, who was about to go up to hand in the poem.

Ouyang Xiu frowned and asked in a very low voice, "Wang Yanyu, what are you going to do?" As I told you, we can't win. ”

Wang Yanyu said loudly: "You don't prepare enough food, it's your fault, why should all of our civilian-bureaucratic ladies bear the notorious reputation of being a bad poet and a bad eye for your mistakes?" ”

All the young ladies looked at each other, and He Yiyun opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Yanyu was silent, and returned to sit down.

Another beautiful lady from the civil official faction stood up and said, "Princess Hui, Xiuniang greeted us in advance, saying that the meal she prepared was not enough, and our civil official faction had to lose, so we went to eat refreshments and fruits for lunch." She had three of the worst poems in our school. ”

"Princess, Xiuniang asked each family to give fifty taels of silver to hold a poetry party, and there was no regulation on how many people to bring, we thought that in the past, it was only eight taels of silver, but this time it was six times and there was a surplus, so we brought the other sisters in the house as well."

"Princess, Xiuniang said that if she wants to do it, she will hold a poetry meeting that is more luxurious and unforgettable than the royal pie."

One by one, the young ladies stood up, and one of them was still a friend of Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu was extremely ashamed and angry, trembling all over, her face was pale, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

Wang Yanyu fanned the incense wind, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes glanced at Ouyang Xiu's back. The humiliation and betrayal she received last month also made Ouyang Xiu feel it again this month.

The fourth princess, He Jingdan, was Ouyang Xiu's cousin, her eyes flickered, and she said, "The civil official faction is not here to hold a poetry meeting, but Xiuniang is not the master alone?" Didn't she consult with you beforehand? ”

He Yiyun waved his hand and said, "Present the three poems." ”

Mingzhu took three pieces of rice paper from Ouyang Xiu's hand and put them on the table in front of He Yiyun.

He Jingdan said sharply: "Why didn't you tell Xiuniang before, but you have to wait for the poetry meeting to go on?" ”

The third princess, He Jingmei, said coldly: "Xiuniang is so majestic, who dares to say it in front of her?" ”

The second princess, He Jingrong, said with a smile: "Xiuniang's temperament follows the fourth aunt, and she says the same." ”

The fourth aunt in her mouth refers to Princess Ouyang, who copied the "Women's Classic" every day in the house.

He Jinglian stood up and walked to He Yiyun's side, picked up the three poems she had read, and deliberately read them out loud, and then gave them to He Jingdan, blinked and said: "Your cousin thinks that the poems are excellent, if you think so, you can tell others that you understand poetry in the future." ”

"These three poems are obviously very good, but it's not good to be read by your mouth." He Jingdan was so angry that he snatched the rice paper and tore it directly.

He Jinglian said with a smile: "What are you doing when you tear it up, I will take it to the queen mother to see, this is the poem that Ouyang Xiu and you both think are good." ”

The military attache sent the ladies to talk in a low voice.

Li Jingjing, Deng Yun, Tian Susu, and Qin Wanjing just had an attitude of watching the excitement.

He Yiyun looked around at the women and said solemnly: "The purpose of the poetry club is to compare poems, nothing else. The civil officials sent three more poems. ”

Wang Yanyu was the leader of the civil official faction last month, and naturally replaced Ouyang Xiu and selected three poems to submit.

After a while, the ranking of the poetry club came out, and the military attaché faction and the civilian official faction were the first and second respectively, but the royal faction lost.

Li Jingjing was recommended by the military attache led by Deng Yun to be a representative.

The representative of the civil official faction was Wang Yanyu, and when he saw that the women of the military attache faction recommended Li Jingjing, he was replaced by another young lady for the first time.

The third princess, He Jingmei, immediately nodded and smiled at Wang Yanyu, indicating that she had done a good job.

"Lord Jing, what good poems do the elders of your family have this time?" The one who came up was Hu Xuelan, the eldest lady of the Hu family, who was fifteen years old this year, her biological father was Xingbu Shangshu Hu Kai, and her aunt was Concubine Hu Xian.

Li Jingjing asked: "I have memorized the poems of my parents, if I do a good job, can we count our military attaché faction as winning?" ”

Hu Xuelan hurriedly said: "Of course not. It has to be a poem that you made yourself. ”

Li Jingjing said calmly: "Then you will come up with a poem topic." ”

Hu Xuelan's eyes were weird, and she said with a smile: "You are younger than me, I will let you make an easy poem." There are many pomegranate trees in this garden, so you can make a poem about pomegranates. ”

Li Jingjing carried her right hand behind her back and said in a loud voice: "This poem title is indeed simple, I will come as soon as I open my mouth." Listen well, the topic is mountain pomegranate, like a volcano and a small mountain, and it can be thin and glamorous in the middle. On a beautiful jade hairpin, it is only suspected that it is burning. (Poet author: Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty)

Wang Yanyu was holding a fan to fan the wind, just listened to two sentences, he didn't move, after listening to four sentences, he was very shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: I want to repay Jing Niang's healing grace and give up competing with her.

Hu Xuelan's face changed.

The women applauded.

The ladies of the military attache faction raised their white fists with the provocative Korean civil official faction.

Deng Yun excitedly took a blooming pomegranate flower from the table next to her, walked up quickly, pinned the flower to Li Jingjing's black hair, and said with a smile: "I look at you as a beauty!" ”

Li Jingjing's face blushed and said, "I'm young, and I don't have you and the little lady here." You're all beautiful. ”

Tian Susu said loudly: "Lan Niang, didn't you say that pomegranate poems are easy, then you can make a poem to compare with our little Jing Niang." ”

Hu Xuelan read a poem with a red face, if there is no comparison of Li Jingjing's poems, it is not bad, this comparison seems to be a low level.

Her poem was made last year and then revised by two celebrities in the clan, thinking that she could win the first prize, but she lost to Li Jingjing.

He Yiyun got up and announced loudly: "The victory and defeat have been divided, the first place in this poetry meeting is Li Jingjing, the first place of the three factions is the military attache faction, and the second place is the civil official faction. ”

Ouyang Xiu's face was pale, and he didn't dare to look up when he sat in the corner.

He Yiyun paused and continued: "The organizer of this poetry meeting is the civil official faction, and it is necessary to fulfill its responsibility to ensure that the other two factions have a good lunch. ”

She is the princess of Zhengyipin, and what she said is reasonable, and all the women are convinced.

So the ladies of the civil official faction sat aside, watching the ladies of the military attache faction and the royal faction enjoy the luxurious lunch of four vegetarian and six meat dishes in lacquer boxes.

He Jingmei beckoned to Wang Yanyu and said with a smile: "Yu Niang, there are a lot of meals, you come to eat with me." ”

"I want to eat the food of the county lord of Jing." Wang Yanyu smiled and walked behind Li Jingjing, who was inspecting the food, touched her shoulder with a fan, and said, "County Lord Jing, you don't mind if I taste your food." ”

Deng Yun said with a smile: "Xiao Jingniang is young, and it is the time to grow taller, so you can't eat less." You're going to eat me. ”

Tian Susu said in a low voice: "You take the initiative to give up the competition with Xiao Jingniang today, even if you have a conscience, otherwise you will definitely lose." ”

"I've seen lobster, abalone, and hard to eat beef." Li Jingjing closed the lid of the lacquer box and handed it to Wang Yanyu, and said, "My one is for you to eat." Three servings with the three of them were enough. ”

"You're a good person, you're a great pharmacist, and you can make good poems, if only you were a man." Wang Yanyu was not shocked, but stepped forward to kiss Li Jingjing's forehead, and then put the fan on top of the lacquer box and took it away together.

Deng Yun waited for Wang Yanyu to take more than a dozen steps, reached out and pinched Li Jingjing's cheek, and said with a smile: "If you are a man, how can you take her turn." ”

Li Jingjing really couldn't cry or laugh. In the past, how could a little lady dare to treat her like this in Tanzhou, and she has been molested several times when she came to Chang'an.

It is enough for four people to eat three meals, and it is even more fragrant to eat together.

Tian Susu looked around and saw that all the young ladies were laughing and eating, so he whispered: "In a few days, we will go hunting in Lishan, just the four of us, and the four of us will all wear men's clothes and take our uncles, brothers and nephews, how about it?" ”

Li Jingjing and Deng Yun both nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Qin Wanjing asked in a low voice, "Can I bring one more person." ”

"Okay, don't you just want to take your second sister-in-law with you. I'm on it. Deng Yun smiled and asked Li Jingjing and Tian Susu, "Are you ready?" ”

The two women immediately nodded and said, "Of course." ”

After lunch, there was still half an hour of wonderful singing and dancing to watch, the royal faction and the military attache faction had a good time, and the civilian faction except for Wang Yanyu who had a luxurious lunch, the rest were angry.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, all the women went down to the attic and went to the gate to prepare to leave.

Chang'an Academy only has famous people giving lectures in the morning and evening, and Li Quzhi, Li Yunxiao, and He Yiyang all came to pick up Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing said happily: "The little uncle is also here." ”

Li Quzhi smiled: "I can't hold a book to read every day, and I should be breathable when I come out to pick you up." ”

The four of them got into the carriage, and He Yiyang asked with a smile: "How was it today?" ”

Li Jingjing said, "Okay." It's just that the civilian officials sent a little bit of a situation. "That's the matter of ordering less food.

Li Yunxiao was surprised: "Why is it the situation of civilian officials again?" ”

He Yiyang said: "Literati are light on each other, since ancient times. It would be strange if they weren't in trouble. ”

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "The four of us made an appointment to go hunting in Lishan, still with our uncles, brothers and nephews. In addition to bringing you this time, I also want to bring my two little brothers with me. ”

Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang laughed a few times, and even Li was very happy.

The three of them once told He that they went to Lishan to hunt, but He agreed, but Qu denied it, saying that the weather was too hot in June and July and it was easy to suffer from heat stroke.

They could only dip Li Jingjing's light and wait for her to go to Lishan to keep up.

The next morning, more than 20 civil officials jointly signed a recital, saying that Ouyang Xiushi would pass off the inferior and bad character in order to cover up the mistake of ordering less food, and sued Ouyang Fanshan's goddaughter for no way.

Ouyang Fanshan was on probation, and his daughter Ouyang Xiu was actually used as a weapon by his political opponents to attack him.

The four major families of Chang'an, Liu, Ouyang, Wang, and Hu, used to be headed by the Liu family, and in recent years, the Liu family is not as powerful as before, and the Ouyang family wants to replace it, but the Wang family and the Hu family are not reconciled, which has formed a situation in which the four clans are full of strength.

The four clans fought among themselves, and the one who benefited the most was He Dong, who gradually took back the control of the court.

This time, He Dongzhang did not take the opportunity to directly exempt Ouyang Fanshan from the Ministry of Rites, but only punished him for three months.

After Ouyang Fanshan returned to the house, he scolded Ouyang Xiu, punished her for kneeling in the ancestral hall for a day, deducted her three months' monthly silver, and ordered her to be forbidden to leave the house.

After the civil officials and ladies learned about it, several people took turns to look at Ouyang Xiu, but when they met, they returned what she had said.

"You're not talking about how favored you are in the house, you won't be punished for kneeling for a day and deducting the moon silver, not to mention, and being grounded."

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Qu family, the He family, Li Jingjing, and the twins took a carriage to the royal family in the northern suburbs of Chang'an.

Today, the wife of the patriarch of the royal family, the Yun family, is 60 years old, and the clansmen of the Yun family and the royal family came early, and then the wives of the civil and military officials arrived one after another with the ladies in the house.

"The old lady has an order, and no one will be allowed to enter without an invitation."

"You have come all the way to celebrate your birthday, and the old lady has received it, please bring back the gift. This jar of wine is brewed by our family's workshop, and the old lady said that this is longevity wine, please take it back and drink it. ”

In front of the bronze gate with two big stone lions, the eight royal family slaves who were neatly dressed and in good spirits, as well as several handsome young men and young masters in the clan, were being sent off.

Guests who did not have an invitation received a jar of wine and were persuaded to return with a gift, and there would be no complaints.

The guests who had the invitation saw so many people who couldn't enter, and they felt that it was very face-saving to be invited to a birthday banquet by the Yun family.

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler in a gray satin robe rode to the gate with a servant.

"Here is the housekeeper of Qingwangfu, on the order of our princess, I sent a birthday gift to the old lady of your mansion, wishing the old man a long life and many blessings."

King Qing is He Qing, the fifth brother of He Dong's relatives. He has only one princess, Kong Ye.

Princess Kong is the cousin of He Qing's relatives, that is, the cousin of He Dong's brothers, and the niece of the late Empress Dowager.

Princess Kong has a noble status, and Yun's birthday also sent her an invitation.

It's just that she didn't come, and sent a housekeeper to deliver a birthday gift.

The servant presented a red brocade box and handed it to a noblely dressed young man of the royal family.

The young man smiled and said, "Please go inside and have a cup of tea." ”

"No need. I'll go back and get back to the princess. The steward rode away with his servants.

The young man hurriedly walked into the house with the brocade box in his hand and handed it to the royal housekeeper who was in charge of registering the birthday gift.

"Princess Kong of Qingwangfu, a pair of jade Ruyi." The royal housekeeper opened the brocade box and took a closer look at it and registered it in the register.

The four little slaves took turns to go to the gate to inquire about the visitors, and to inform their masters, the two ladies of the royal family, as quickly as they could.

The two ladies sat in the side hall to accompany the female dependents, and looked at the slim and slim daughters and concubines who were sitting not far away.

"I haven't heard of Princess Kong attending a banquet in any mansion for many years."

"Princess Kong does not go to crowded places except for the palace banquet on the first day of the new year every year."

"A wife is more expensive than her husband, and a mother is more expensive than her son. Princess Kong has taken both, and she is a truly blessed person. ”

"Princess Kong is really too low-key."

Princess Kong is beautiful, but introverted and weak.

She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, He Jingyan, is 21 years old this year, the second son, He Jingxin, is 18 years old this year, and the youngest daughter, He Jingmiao, is 15 years old this year.

Needless to say, He Jingyan is handsome, both civil and military, and he defeated the Xiongnu army a few years ago.

Although He Jingxin is unsightly, he is also a dignified king of the first grade.

As long as the daughter marries one of the two, she is the princess of the county from the first product, and the eldest son is the son, and she is prosperous and rich.

Not only the two wives of the royal family, but also the wives of many rich and noble families are also wishful thinking.

It's just that the ladies except for the palace banquet on the first day of the new year, they couldn't see Princess Kong at the public banquet, so they posted a post to Qingwangfu, and they were told that Princess Kong was sick.

A very clever little slave walked in quickly, and reported: "Two ladies and young ladies, Mrs. Li has entered the house with her eldest daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and grandson, and the old lady, please go out with her immediately to greet her." ”
