Chapter 44: The Antiquity of the Novice Trial 14
"Today's moonlight is very good, why don't you use moonlight as the theme and limit it to a moment. Whoever does a good job in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info will reward her with the pearl of the night. The queen sitting on the high seat was noble, and her voice was not slow, which made people feel good. As soon as the words fell, a maid came out with a shining pearl of the night.
Yaxi's heart tightened, sat up straight, and got ready. The nobles of the capital have written poems, some are well-versed, some are plain and mediocre, and some are a little brilliant. It's just that the queen's eyes are slightly condensed, and she is still not satisfied when she thinks about it.
"Queen Mother, I made a wonderful song." The girl in the vine-purple dress stood up, and the corners of her mouth were full of delicateness.
The queen's favorite, such an energetic girl, responded with a smile.
"The city of the Qing River is the same, and the streamer is the same. Thinking like in a dream, looking at each other in the court...... (From "Looking at the Moon in the Autumn Sunset" Zhang Jiuling) "The girl Lang read the poem, the voice echoed in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but calm down and listen carefully.
"Not bad. Not bad. The queen stroked her palms, said two good words, and showed a little smile on her face.
"Thank you for the praise of Queen Mother!" The girl who was praised had a brisk tone and tilted her face proudly. When his gaze swept to Zuo Mengchen's cold face, he remembered that the handsome Nine Kings had just seen her, and he wanted to stop talking. couldn't help but feel a little angry, and his eyes rolled to his heart.
"Sister Zuo, she has rarely appeared at banquets, and today happens to be a coincidence, why don't you also show your talents?" The girl's name is Su Ling, and she is the daughter of Wei Shangshu. is fifteen years old, and the only one in the Zuo family who can be called her sister is Zuo Mengchen.
Zuo Mengchen didn't seem to hear it, and his face remained unchanged. Su Ling's anger was even worse, and he was about to attack again. Yaxi immediately stood up, saluted the queen first, and smiled innocently: "Queen Mother, can Xi'er say a few words?" ”
The queen waved her hand lovingly and motioned for Yaxi to continue.
"Thank you, Queen." Yaxi replied, with a bright smile, then looked at Wei Suling, and said, "Sister Ling'er, Sister Xi'er has studied since childhood, and she is very good-looking. Xi'er was enlightened late, and has only studied a few books so far. But I still remember that His Majesty once said that after studying for three years, I can't understand the words; If you are less than five years old, you are not allowed to write an essay. The eldest sister has recovered from a serious illness for less than three years. Sister Ling'er, why bother with the eldest sister. ”
As she spoke, Ah-hee smiled again; Xi'er just remembered that His Majesty had given the queen a poem, and there was moonlight in it. Xi'er is a trick, so let's study this poem again. The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night...... (From "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" Zhang Jiuling)"
Yaxi stood there, her voice like the softness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The queen seemed to remember the past, and there was a nostalgic smile on her face.
After listening to Yaxi's recitation, the queen scolded with a smile: "You lazy girl, you said that you would be asked to compose poems, but you actually used His Majesty's poems to make up the numbers." "It's a scolding, but it's clearly close in tone.
When the queen smiled, Yaxi knew that she had made the right bet. First use what the emperor once said, lay out the facts and arguments, and then read the poems written by the emperor to the queen to ask the queen for tricks. As long as the biggest role of the banquet is coaxed, the queen, no one will squeeze Zuo Mengchen and let her compose poems. As long as no one provokes her, with Zuo Mengchen's usual cold personality, she will not take the initiative to be in the limelight.
While thinking about it, Yaxi showed a well-behaved smile: "Queen Mother, Xi'er is naturally stupid and doesn't understand poetry. I just think that His Majesty's poems must be the best. ”
The little girl's words made the queen laugh, and she scolded softly: "You girl! ”
Su Ling, who was ignored on the side, became petty, pouted, pointed at Zuo Mengchen and said, "Zuo Mengchen, you coward!" ”
Yaxi saluted the queen and returned to his seat. Hearing Su Ling's words coming out again, he shook his head secretly, and at this time, he was still reluctant, and he came to an end.
What Yaxi didn't expect was that Zuo Mengchen really stood up, and read in a cold voice: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. (from "Silent Night Thoughts" Li Bai)"
Yaxi was stunned for a moment, and saw the pensive looks of the people around her. Quickly crushed, a bead on the bracelet. Invisible ripples, spreading in circles.
The people around him, their bodies flickered, and their eyes returned to clarity. Thinking of the poem Zuo Mengchen read just now, he frowned a little. The atmosphere in the room became solemn.
Seeing that the queen on the high seat also frowned slightly, Yaxi hurriedly got up and said coquettishly: "Queen mother, my sister also reads poems from ancient books." You only say that I am alone, and Xi'er does not follow. ”
saw twelve or thirteen-year-old Yaxi, dressed in a bright yellow dress, with bulging cheeks, looking aggrieved. The queen thought it was funny, but she was distracted: "The Zuo family has always been gentle and demure, I really don't know who you learned this girl from." Mama Li, go get a box of maltose and stick to this girl's little mouth. ”
Yaxi thanked with a smile on her face, and when she saw the atmosphere around her, she was relieved again. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.
I really don't know whether to say it, Zuo Mengchen is smart or stupid! Don't you remember the 500 Tang poems, why did you choose to think in the quiet night. Zuo Fu and Zuo's maiden family have lived in Kyoto for generations, and Zuo Mengchen has never been anywhere else.
Homesick? I don't know which hometown you are thinking about? In novels, casual theft of poetry may still be famous. But in the real world, the rhyme of each era is different. So even if the swan song of the eternal generations is moved directly, it may not be recognized.
Zuo Mengchen's face was difficult to look at, and Yaxi skimmed her beautiful face. I can't help but tease in my heart, doesn't it be said in the novel that the heroine belongs to the Tianshan Snow Lotus and doesn't care about everything in the world! In the original book, Zuo Mengchen recited the poem, and also said that it was forced by the situation. But how Yaxi looks, she is deliberately plagiarizing the poems of the ancients to gain praise.
In fact, Yaxi wronged Zuo Mengchen, and when Zuo Mengchen crossed over, he always had a sense of superiority of modern people. As a result, things did not go well, and the business of the tailor's shop was not good. And she often forgets things, originally she had a lot of experience in business. But lately, I can't remember what I'm thinking, and I'm very upset.
Su Ling's words completely damaged her self-esteem as a modern person. When I was angry, I stood up and read it. Seeing others frowning, she remembered that this poem was not appropriate here. But it was too late, and she didn't bother to explain.
After the banquet, nothing went wrong. Although he used up an energy bead, Yaxi still praised himself silently in his heart. Solved a big thing!
