Chapter 18: Poetry Society

The princess admired the plum blossoms and praised those bonsai for their good looks.

Baowen smiled: "It's still the idea that the second sister gave me." ”

The princess glanced at the treasure silk, her face was full of happy smiles, patted her head and praised her good child, and said to the princess: "I know that you are also a person who likes to be lively. You and the second girl should stay. I'll go sit with the concubine. ”

The princess and the princess agreed, and sent the princess to the soft sedan chair.

When they came back, the princess saw that the county lord of Duanhui was talking to Gu Mingyue, and she was slightly stunned, thinking that she, the eldest sister of the Great Gui, usually didn't ask about these mundane things, and was busy greeting her.

"The county lord, please sit in the house, it's cold outside."

Lord Duanhui nodded and said, "You want to write poems, and I will also join in the fun." ”

Mu Baowen hurriedly said: "I heard about the name of the county lord when I was a child, and I have to admire and admire it today." ”

Duan Hui asked again: "Have you prepared a topic?" ”

Bao Juan replied: "Last night, my third sister and I discussed twelve topics, all of which were about plum blossoms. Now glued to the screen. There is no limit to the rhyme foot. The county lord here is respected, so it's better to ask the county lord to help us rhyme. ”

The lord of Duanhui asked the little maid to take the rhyme tube, drew a lottery with "yuan" written on it, and handed it to the treasure silk.

Bao Juan said to the people: "It is the rhyme of thirteen yuan." ”

Rong Zheng saw that Rong Yun was also thinking about poetry, and she had to reluctantly put together a poem to meet the occasion. It's really a book that I hate less when I use it, and I can't think of any good sentences even if my brain is broken. Rong Yun went to take the title of "Plum Blossom Appreciation". She was afraid that all the easy questions would be taken away, so she hurriedly took a "Yongmei" topic.

Submission in half an hour.

At the moment, each of them thinks of a good sentence to go.

Rong Zheng sat under the porch, looking at the red plum blossoms in a daze.

Mu Baowen was busy greeting and couldn't stop for a moment.

Baowen's third brother heard that she was going to organize a poetry meeting, and he was also very interested, although it was inconvenient to come in and participate together, but it also helped a lot. I sent the hares and golden pheasants that I hunted in the mountains yesterday as game. The princess gave five pounds of venison. Now Bao Juan went to invite the mother-in-law on the stove to come and help them make barbecue.

Everyone can eat whatever they like, which is very convenient.

A quarter of an hour has passed, and the county lord of Duanhui has already submitted the manuscript, Rong Zheng was surprised, she still hasn't thought about it. This county lord is really powerful.

After a while, there were also people who delivered the manuscript one after another.

When Rong Zheng saw that Rong Yun had also written a sentence and handed it in, he was really anxious. She pulled Rong Yun and asked: "Sister, I am very normal in this poem. You can help me. ”

Rong Yun glanced at Rong Zheng's title, squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you think about it." ”

Rong Zheng was relieved at this time, and personally poured a cup of osmanthus wine for Rong Yun to drink. Rong Yun was not polite, drank half a cup in Rong Zheng's hand, leaned on the railing and was stunned for a while, and suddenly Wen thought welled, and Rong Zheng's song also had eyebrows. She beckoned Rong Zheng over and gently told her. Rong Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and laughed in a low voice: "In the end, the eldest sister is the eighth highest, I really respect it." ”

The demeanor of the Rong sisters fell in the eyes of the Duanhui County Lord, her face was like water, and she didn't say anything, just as if she hadn't seen it.

Half an hour later, everyone had submitted their manuscripts. It's just that Gu Qingyue wrote three sentences on it. The grandmother of the cabinet scholar handed over the blank paper, and she was very embarrassed.

The princess made a judgment, looked at it one by one, two, three, four.

The lord of Duanhui County has the best literary style and good intentions. The princess gave the first rating. Lord Duanhui didn't take it seriously at all. Gu Mingyue got second, and Rong Yun got third. The one written by Rong Zheng won the sixth.

Lord Duanhui looked at it, smiled and said, "Forget about mine." You guys play. She took the manuscript of the princess and read it one by one, although they were all fat powder in the boudoir, and the pattern was smaller, but there was no shortage of novel and good sentences. Thinking that the eldest lady of the Rong family wrote two poems by herself, it was really powerful.

When she saw Rong Zheng's manuscript, she was not interested in the poems, but in the handwriting on them. I was secretly surprised, this kid didn't have much knowledge, and he looked young, but he could write well. Most of these people are written in hairpins, and only this Rong Zheng has some style in his pen. It looks like a post of "Ouyang Xun" who learned.

The county lord of Duanhui didn't stay long, and after sitting for a while, he took his leave, and then the princess also left the table.

At the moment, those girls are even more unrestrained, eating, drinking and joking wantonly, so lively.

"I didn't expect the county lord to come in and come to participate in the poetry meeting." The princess looked surprised.

The county lord said: "When I was at home before, I was like my third sister, and I liked to be lively. A poetry club was also organized. ”

The princess hurriedly said: "In the end, the county lord is so interesting." ”

The county lord furrowed his eyebrows slightly and did not speak. She doesn't like these bustles now, and when she sees those flower-like faces, she always thinks of her former self. That's all she had for the rest of her life. It's just that there is still a big event to be done, and after waiting for this matter, she went to the Zhuangzi under her name to recuperate. No longer stay in the palace to make people suspicious.

The princess and the county lord talked about the poems just now, and commented privately. When they arrived at the side hall, the two took their leave. The princess went to her own yard, but the county lord went to the quiet and livable place where the concubine was recuperating.

Quietly, when the county lord passed, he saw that the princess's servant maid under the corridor was still waiting outside. I thought that the princess was also here, so it would be better for her to save her from running back and forth.

Mama Qiu, the companion of the princess, reported: "Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang, the county lord is here." ”

"Come in, please."

At that moment, a little maid opened the curtain for the county lord.

Here, the princess is sitting on the kang with the concubine and talking. There is a red plum in the reward bottle on the kang table, which is a branch cut from a tree in the Baowen courtyard.

The county lord respectfully greeted the concubine and saluted the princess.

The concubine nodded and smiled: "Why did you come here today?" ”

The county lord said, "Come and say hello to the concubine." ”

The concubine nodded, and asked again, "What about Da Lang?" ”

The county lord said: "Junhua is still the same, but his temper is still like that, and people can't get close." But don't worry, I will definitely persuade him to let him come in and kowtow to the concubine and Niangniang. ”

The concubine sighed: "This child has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he has been fostered in the temple since he was a child. Unlike other children, I grew up, and it makes sense that he wasn't very close to us. As long as he's fine. ”

A look of disgust flashed on the princess's face, and she quickly held it down again, and said with a smile: "This eldest man is really true, even if he doesn't want to come back for a reunion during the New Year." What's the point of staying in that temple? Could it be that he still wants to become a monk? ”

The county lord's face instantly became a little ugly, what she can't let go of now is her brother, if she doesn't settle her brother, she can't leave even if she leaves.

She thought about it, with a smile on her face, she leaned closer to the concubine, and said softly: "Concubine, I'm thinking about it, I should tell Junhua about family affairs." ”

The concubine nodded: "He is twenty years old this year, and he should have started a family a long time ago." His younger brother, who is two years younger than him, has a son, and he is still hanging, which is not a problem. ”

The princess glanced at the county lord and said in her heart, no wonder she wanted to go to the third girl, it turned out that she was going to pick a daughter-in-law for her younger brother.

The county lord said: "Our mother left early, and I am a few years older than Junhua." I, as a sister, should also take care of him. Thinking that he is not young, he should always have a family. ”

The concubine said, "You're right. It's just that this big man has a strange temper, and he doesn't even go home. If you want him to accept this family business, I think you have to talk about it from the county lord. He nodded yes, and we'll be able to do that here. "The concubine still wants to choose a family affair for Da Lang that he is also satisfied with, otherwise he is afraid of instability in the future.

The county lord frowned and said, "Junhua, I'll go and talk there." She said this without confidence, her brother was stubborn and cold, and it seemed that he wanted to really escape into the empty door.

The princess interjected and said, "I don't know which girl the county lord fell in love with?" ”

The county lord was not surprised that the princess guessed her heart, and said with a smile: "I think that Miss Mingyue of the Gu family is good, but Miss Qingyue is better in appearance." There is also a pair of sisters in the Rong family who are good-looking. ”

The princess said: "The Gu family is the maiden family of our princess, and it is better to be close to each other." The foundation of the Rong family is shallow. The eldest lady of the Rong family also looks gentle and gentle, but I heard that she grew up in Beijing, but I'm afraid that she has already made a marriage. Another young lady of the Rong family, it is said that she came out of the second room, and she is the eldest daughter who lost her mother. It's hard to say the character of such a child, and he is a little younger, so he is not suitable. ”

The county lord said: "Niangniang and I want to go together." The eldest lady of the Rong family is good-looking and talented. Gentle temperament, I look at it okay. I'm afraid it's already settled, but I don't know where Junhua is...... "She is in trouble, and she knows her brother's temperament best."

The concubine nodded after hearing what they said, "Then let's choose one of the Gu family sisters." The people of the princess's mother's family, who know the roots, are also better. ”

The princess had nothing to say, the county lord pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Junhua what he means." ”
