Chapter 910: An Uninvited Guest in Wanmei Villa
readx;??? Although the Wanmei Courtyard covers a very vast area, with two or three thousand plum trees, and the clouds are steaming and beautiful when the flowers bloom, if there is a single round of plum blossoms, this Wanmei Courtyard is not the most and best in a place like the capital where the powerful and the rich walk, at most it can only be regarded as medium.

The reason why Wanmei Bein is famous is because of the annual Plum Garden Poetry Meeting.
Every year during the Spring Festival, Meng Hanlin will hold a poetry party in the Plum Garden, inviting famous Confucian scholars and outstanding young students in Beijing to participate, and of course, several heavyweight dignitaries will participate every year.
After the poetry meeting, the best twelve plum blossom poems made by all the young students will be selected and handed over to the bookstore for careful publication and wide release, and there will be comments from Meng Hanlin and other famous artists.
If anyone's plum blossom poems are selected to be printed in that booklet, not only will the reputation be widely spread, but also into the eyes of the great Confucian masters, which is extremely beneficial to the official career. If nothing else, at least you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
It is a matter of great pride to gain fame and fortune.
Therefore, many students will spend countless efforts to make plum blossom poems in advance, in the hope of being fortunate to be invited to participate in the poetry meeting, looking forward to a blockbuster, and from then on to be favored and famous.
Plum blossom poems are the most ancient times, and it is even more difficult to do brilliantly, this kind of thing is not only hard work, but more importantly, talent. Therefore, Meng Hanlin didn't mind that someone spent a year or even years to prepare, and he didn't think it was cheating.
This year's Plum Blossom Poetry Festival was held on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Zhu Sangongzi is from a high background, and he is the champion of the new department, and the characters are even more prosperous and handsome, how can he be missing on this occasion?
On this day, Wanmei Villa was full of people, a total of nearly 50 rising stars of Confucianism, predecessors of the great Confucian masters and elegant magnates in the vast plum forest to enjoy the flowers and drink, play the piano and chat, a color wearing a bean green bijia, white silk long skirt, comb with a double hanging fifteen or sixteen handsome girls holding a plate in their hands, Tingting shuttled in the meantime, for everyone to prepare wine and tea, it is a beautiful scenery.
When the atmosphere was good, the housekeeper Leng Buding hurriedly found his eldest son, who was chatting happily with Zhu Sangongzi, Lu Gongzi, Xu Xiaogongye, etc., and said something in a low voice.
Master Meng's face changed suddenly, and he frowned.
Young Grandpa Xu was the most curious, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked what was the matter?
Seeing that several people were looking at him, Meng Dagongzi couldn't hide it for a while, so he reluctantly said: "The fourth prince of the Wan family is here somehow......
Little Grandpa Xu shouted, "Wanjia? Which Wanjia? This is shameless, right? Who will come to this plum garden poem? Hit it out! β
Meng Dagongzi smiled bitterly, Zhu Sangongzi's eyes flashed, and said, "Could it be the maiden family of Jia Concubine Niangniang?" But the brother of Jia Concubine? β
Master Meng sighed, nodded and said, "Isn't it!" β
When everyone heard this, they felt even more disdain.
This 10,000 family was originally a family of petty officials, and the concubines were favored, and naturally the tide rose, which has also been mixed up in recent years.
And this Wan Si Gongzi is not to mention the talent, so-so is the level of the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text, eating, drinking and having fun are all fine, and the favorite place in his life is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and both men and women eat.
Such a person is the most despised by Confucianism.
Zhu Sangongzi and the others' faces were a little not good-looking, but Zhu Sangongzi didn't say anything.
Because the Zhu family still has a little bit of a twisting relationship with the Wanjia, he can't say many things.
Jia Concubine was raised by the mother of His Royal Highness King Li, Concubine Shufei Niangniang, and she has always been the only one to look forward to Concubine Shu, and she has secretly helped Concubine Shufei and King Li a lot over the years. The princess of King Li is from the Zhu family. Of course, Zhu Sangongzi can't do it with Wan Sigongzi openly.
You must know that although this Wansi Gongzi is a proper gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, he is born good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, a jade tree and a sweet mouth, and a mouth can say that flowers and bones bloom!
He is the most filial and likable in his mouth.
The old couple of the Zhu family, including Jia Concubine, were very fond of him before entering the palace.
Lu Gongzi and Little Master Xu couldn't care so much, and said angrily: "It's just a mess!" Brother Meng, you can't let this kind of person tarnish the reputation of the Meiyuan Poetry Club! Let's go and get rid of him!" β
Who knew that before they could go out to drive people away, Wan Sigongzi's laughter had already come proudly.
"Oh, this plum garden is really a good place! Yes, yes, this plum blossom is better than anywhere else! You are free, you are free, hehe, I am passing by today, just casually! Yo, isn't this the eldest prince of Meng? Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! β
While speaking, Wan Si Gongzi had already come to Meng Dagongzi and the others.
Meng Dagongzi is a young court training, and he is the most gentle, elegant and polite person, how can such a person speak ill words?
Even if he disdained Wan Si Gongzi in his heart, he had to greet him politely.
The fourth prince of Wan was a self-acquaintance, and he glanced at Lu Gongzi and the others with half-squinted eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't these benevolent brothers and eldest prince Meng introduce them below?" β
Grandpa Xu immediately said "phew", sneered, turned around with his hands behind his back and looked up to admire the plum blossoms on the side.
If someone else suffers this in person, he will definitely blush and be ashamed, but what kind of person is the fourth prince, he didn't mind with a smile, and looked at Meng Dagongzi calmly: People are still waiting for you to introduce it!
Meng Dagongzi didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned, so he had to gently introduce him to Lu Gongzi and Zhu Sangongzi.
Lu Gongzi couldn't help but give Meng Dagongzi face, and reluctantly arched his hand to the fourth prince.
Zhu Sangongzi glanced at him and nodded. The coldness and arrogance in that gaze flashed and happened to be seen.
The corners of Wan Sigongzi's mouth twitched, and he smiled with half-squinted eyes staring at the indifferent and arrogant Zhu Sangongzi, and said, "This Zhu Sangongzi is last year's champion?" β
"Exactly." Master Meng nodded politely.
Wan Si Gongzi stroked his palms and laughed: "Hehe, it's really a talent!" No wonder those big girls and little daughters-in-law are crazy when they look at Du Le when they are parading through the streets! Hehe! β
Zhu Sangongzi's face sank, and he arched his hand at Meng Gongzi and Lu Gongzi: "Brother Meng, Brother Lu, I'm a little tired, go and rest first!" β
"Brother Xian, please take care of yourself!" Meng Dagongzi was also very embarrassed when he heard the words of Wan Sigongzi, and it was right to see that Zhu Sangongzi avoided it.
