Chapter 52: Digging the Pit Begins
"Sister."
Ji Wei, Ji Jin, and Wu Ruiyun stood at the door of Ji Songxian's room and shouted softly.
Ji Songxian went out with a smile: "Why did the three brothers come?" ”
Ji Zhen said with a smile: "I just heard that my sister is talented, and the poems she made shine at the flower appreciation banquet, I came to ask for advice." ”
Wu Ruiyun nodded: "We want to ask my sister to come down and take a look, and it is better to hear others say that it is better than what we have seen." ”
Ji Songxian smiled and invited the three of them into the house, and said as he walked: "It just so happens that I also have something to trouble a few brothers, let's go into the house and talk slowly." ”
After entering the house for a while, Ji Songxian asked Liang to grind the group tea sent by Princess Xiangyang not long ago to make tea soup, and she personally took a pen and paper to copy down a few poems made that day, and asked Ji Zhen and the three of them to take turns to watch them.
These three Ji Wei are good at strategy, Ji Zhen is good at poetry, Wu Ruiyun has the best memory, and he is the best at silent writing, but the three of them are not low in their ability to appreciate poetry, and they all praised Ji Songxian's quick thinking and talent.
Ji Songxian knows her own family affairs, she didn't do it herself, but plagiarized it, and her face was flushed when she was praised: "Brothers, don't praise anymore, poetry is just a small way, where do I have the great talent of my brothers." ”
At this time, it happened to be around the beam to deliver tea soup, Ji Songxian drank half a bowl of tea soup and said: "It just so happens that I have something to ask the three brothers to help, and I also ask the brothers to worry about me." ”
"Sister, just say anything." Ji Zhen and Ji Songxian are the most intimate, and as soon as they heard that Ji Songxian had something, they almost patted their chests and promised to help to the end.
Ji Wei and Wu Ruiyun also nodded and said that they would definitely help.
Ji Songxian put down the teacup and said, "Actually, it's not a difficult thing......
The three of them listened to Ji Songxian come one by one, and they all smiled after listening: "This is easy to do." Just listen. ”
The three of them said goodbye and left, Ji Songxian seized the time to write those poems silently, I don't know why, the memory she got was very clear, and those poems were as close as they were in front of him, Ji Songxian had never stopped practicing calligraphy in his previous and present lives, and he wrote quickly and well in regular letters at this time, and it didn't take long for dozens of poems to be silent.
She hooked her lips and smiled, and somewhat mischievously pulled out a page and wrote on it: All Tang Poems - Volume I
He also wrote a preface, which roughly meant that it was written by some of the most outstanding poets of the empire known as the Tang Dynasty. The author remembers that part of it was silent. I want to appreciate it with people all over the world.
He also wrote the author's name and called himself Xiaoxiangzi.
It's really Ji Songxian who has that memory now, and learned that the name of the courtyard where she used to live in the Chengguo Mansion Xiaoxiang Pavilion was copied by Cheng Ping'an from the female corner in a book, and every time he thought about it, Ji Songxian was annoyed and disgusted.
Cheng Ping'an not only made the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Chengguo Mansion. And the rest of the yards in that book were also put together. For example, Yihong Temple. For example, Wuyuan, such as Qiushuangzhai, such as Zilingzhou. For example, Daoxiang Village and so on, if you didn't know it before, Ji Songxian still thought that Ping An was chic, but now that she knows the truth, she is really disgusted with Ping An lustful state.
Ji Songxian closed the door for more than ten days, and finally silently produced 300 Tang poems, and after several revisions, he took out a thick stack of poems.
She thought about it, remembered the old art she had learned, and made the poems old in turn, as if they had been written for several years, and no one would think that she had written them in a few days.
In the days when Ji Songxian was writing poems behind closed doors, the three cousins of Ji Zhen were not idle.
On this day, the three of them went out together, Ji Wei bought some dim sum, and ran into a person when he got out of the dim sum shop, this person is Lu Geng, the eldest son of Lu Youde's family, the head of the household Shangshu Lu Youde, and the Ji Wei brothers also knew him, especially Ji Jin, who used to be classmates and friends with Lu Geng.
Ji Zhen chose a restaurant that was quite close, went to a private room facing the street on the second floor, and sat down, and there was a helper wearing a colorful cloth with powder and flower arrangement, and came in with a towel on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I've seen four sons, sons, let's wash your hands first." ”
The four of them washed their hands in the basin, and then took the white towel handed by the idle and wiped their hands, and the idle took out a box of balsam like a trick: "Four sons, this is the balsam only from Ruyi Lou, and the small one also waited for half a month to buy a box, and it is best to wash his hands and wipe it." ”
"How much?" Ji Wei asked.
Ji Zhen smiled: "You can wipe it if you like, no matter how much it costs." ”
After speaking, I dug some and wiped it on my hand, and smelled it: "It's not bad, I'm afraid it's a rose, but I don't love roses, so I'll have to ask someone to buy some tea another day." ”
Lu Geng and Wu Ruiyun also wiped it, and Ji Zhen took out a dime of silver and threw it to the idle people: "Reward you." ”
Gang Xian immediately smiled and changed his waist and saluted: "Thank you Gongzi, thank you Gongzi." ”
After sitting down again, Ji Zhen introduced Wu Ruiyun to Lu Geng: "This is my uncle's cousin's surname is Wu Ruiyun, he is older than you, you can also call my brother with me." ”
Lu Geng got up again to give Wu Ruiyun a salute, Wu Ruiyun returned the salute, at this time the helper took the menu again, Ji Zhen asked Lu Geng to order, Lu Geng did not shirk and took the menu and ordered Dao Beauty Liver, Ji Jin ordered a home-cooked tofu again, Ji Wei ordered Dao Osmanthus Duck, Wu Ruiyun ordered a spring fish plus a pot of noodle soup.
After ordering the four of them to laugh, Ji Wei fanned later: "It's really hot this day, I'll open the window wider." ”
As he spoke, he got up and walked to the window and pushed the window to look out, and when he saw it, he saw that something was wrong, and he was shocked and shouted, "Brother Lu, come." ”
Lu Geng was also frightened, and took a few steps over: "What's the matter?" ”
Ji Wei pointed to the courtyard outside the window and said, "This is Brother Lu's mansion?" ”
Lu Geng nodded: "Naturally, yes, it's not that you haven't been there, as for that." ”
At this time, Ji Zhen and Wu Ruiyun also came over, Ji Zhen looked at it for a while and frowned and said, "Brother Lu, have you offended anyone in your mansion recently?" Lu was even more surprised when he heard this: "Where to offend people, you don't know that your father is the most cautious and cautious, and his temperament is the softest, how can he offend anyone." ”
Indeed, as Lu Geng said, Lu Youde, the head of the household, is the most soft, and has never said anything unpleasant to anyone, whether it is to see that the official position is greater than him or the official position is far from his position, he is greeted with a smile, and he is a well-known person in Jinling City.
Ji Jin's brows furrowed even tighter: "Then it's strange, that is, your mansion has not offended anyone, how can anyone want to do something to your mansion?" ”
"What the hell is going on, Brother Ji will make it clear to me." Lu Geng listened more anxiously, and grabbed Ji Zhen to ask.
Ji Wei pointed to the courtyard across the street behind the Lu Mansion and said, "Take a closer look." ”
Lu Geng didn't see one, two, or three for a long time, Ji Wei said in a deep voice: "We couldn't see it, but a few days ago I helped my father tidy up the study, but I turned out some miscellaneous books, and I looked through a few books when I was bored. ”
"He is his family, what does it matter to my family?" Lou was even less impressed.
Ji Zhen said solemnly: "It's not so simple, don't you know that feng shui is the most important thing to pay attention to not building a government in the front and not building a temple in the back, this is just behind your house, and it is so ......"
Before Ji Zhen finished speaking, Lu was even angry: "It's really hateful, and my family must not offend his family, so how can I ...... it"
Ji Wei held down Lu Geng and persuaded: "Don't worry, I think this house will take a few days to complete, after you go back, hurry up and check whose yard it is, and then carefully ask who gave him the idea, and then make plans after finding out." ”
Lu Geng was patient when he heard this, and thought carefully for a long time before saying, "It should be like this, thank you Brother Ji for reminding me." ”
Because of this, Lu Geng didn't have much heart to eat and drink, so he said a few words and left.
He walked on the front foot, and Ji Zhen smiled on the back foot, clapped his hands and said: "This time, I have done the things that the little sister explained, and I want the little sister to thank us well when I go back." ”
Wu Ruiyun didn't quite understand: "Why is my cousin like this?" It seems that the Gao family did not offend the little sister. ”
Ji Wei sneered: "The Gao family didn't offend the little sister, the kid who only gave the Gao family ideas offended the little sister more than once, if it wasn't for my father to stop me, I would have to beat him once I saw him." ”
Ji Zhen whispered how Cheng Ping'an looked at Ji Songxian, how to stir up Ji Songxian's good marriage, and how he disturbed Wu Ruiyun several times: "Cousin, be careful when you meet this person in the future, after all, he is now a mortal enemy with our family, this person is the best at arguing, don't let him coax." ”
Wu Ruiyun nodded hurriedly and said seriously: "I remember it, I must not have a good face when I see him." ”
While talking, the guy in the shop had already brought the food and drinks, and the three brothers sat around and ate, talking about some homework things, and drinking and eating food at the same time.
They were comfortable and tight here, only saying that Lu Geng went home with anger, first saw Mrs. Lu, and sulked because Lu Youde was not at home, and kept in the house and didn't come out, until Lu Youde returned home at dinner, Lu couldn't help it anymore, and no matter what the rules of eating and sleeping silently, at the dinner table, he told how he met the Ji family brothers today, how they met to eat and drink, and how they were pointed out that they offended people at home.
He spoke carefully and carefully, and Lu Youde and Mrs. Lu, who listened, lowered their faces.
Although Lu Youde is a good man, he may not be a soft man in the household book, the more he listened, the more angry he became, and finally slapped the table and said: "It's too much, it's too much, I've always been kind to others, but others don't be kind to me, what's more, you have to ask these days, see whose house is in that yard, and who helped come up with the idea, after all, our family can't stop this matter." ”
"Yes." Lu Geng got up.
Mrs. Lu thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, sir, I'll go to find out about this matter, I'm a woman, and it doesn't matter who I go to to say something short, besides, I'll ask our family to go out and contact each other." ”
Lu Youde understood in an instant, and felt that Mrs. Lu's proposal was very reasonable, so he responded: "There is Mrs. Lao." (To be continued......)
