26. Brother and sister get together to talk about poetry and essays
Ye Minchun smiled on the side: "How old are you, and you are still coquettish!" These younger sisters are watching from the side. Ye Minchun was wearing a moon-white straight jacket, with beautiful jade hanging from his waist, his posture was upright, and his posture was elegant. His smile was warm and infectious, and his smile warmed people's hearts.
As soon as he opened his mouth, even the voice was warm and moist, with a peculiar magnetism.
He is like a magnet that easily attracts everyone's attention. Yulan couldn't help but be a little dizzy, thinking that his second cousin was worthy of his name, so Zhilan Yushu was like a person, and he was indeed the only one in his life. couldn't help but feel some sympathy for his younger brother Ye Minhong, in fact, his appearance and demeanor were all good, but when he was put around, he immediately lost his brilliance.
Princess Yinyue made a face at her brother, and the relationship between the brother and sister was obviously very good. Ye Minchun smiled dotingly and asked with concern: "I heard early in the morning that my grandmother is not very good, and I was worried for most of the time, but I saw that you were in good spirits, and it turned out that you were worried in vain!" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay! All that's it! Thanks to your seventh sister, I feel much more comfortable after giving me a massage. "Called Yulan over," ...... Lan girl, I haven't come to see your third aunt and cousin. ”
Yulan had a chance to make her debut, and under such a gaze, she did not have stage fright, and generously stepped forward to greet the princess's family one by one.
The two families do not communicate frequently, and the Ye Minchun brothers and sisters see Yulan rarely on weekdays. Ye Minchun took a closer look at her, and only felt that Yulan Qing and graceful revealed a unique and unique style, which had never been seen before, which made her look different in the pile of fat powder, so she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
After all, Yulan worked hard in the rhythm workplace for many years in her previous life, although Yang Fuli Taoguang was obscure and low-key, but the self-confidence, self-improvement and independent white-collar atmosphere on her body still made her look a little different.
Yinyue had already taken her hand with a happy face: "I heard that my uncle has a good-looking seventh sister in the family, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, and it was so filial." It's strange that my grandmother and aunt are reluctant to let them come out to meet people! Are you afraid that others will think about abducting you? Everyone laughed for a while, and Yinyue laughed again: "I like this sister so much, I am not allowed to hide it in the future, and I will not let ...... see it" and said to Yulan: "If you have time, go to the palace and walk around!" Our sisters are also close. "There is no princess frame at all, and it seems that she doesn't know that Yulan is a concubine.
The old lady smiled: "You monkey talk a lot!" "Yinyue is a coquettish for a while.
After laughing for a while, the little girl moved the chairs and everyone sat in order of eldest and youngest. The old lady asked about the apricot blossom banquet, and Yuxia immediately rushed to tell her about today's grand occasion. Just now, Yulan became the focus of everyone, and Princess Yinyue looked at her differently, and Yuxia was already unhappy in her heart.
“…… In addition to Cousin Yinyue, there is also a county lord, two county lords, not counting us, the five Gedian scholars came to two families, Liu Ge Lao and Xie Ge's hometown. Needless to say, the officials and servants of the various ministries and halls also came to most of the girls in the big Jiuqing and Xiao Jiuqing's families, in addition, there are also the girls of the Xu family of Shanguo Gong, the Chang family girls of the Duke of Eguo, the Feng family girls of Song Guogong, the girls of the Tang family of Yan'an, the girls of the Lu family of Ji'an, and the girls of the Zhou family of Jiangxia Hou ......"
The old lady nodded again and again when she heard this, "Most of the noble girls of the Jingshi have collected most of them, it can be regarded as a rare gathering......" glanced at Ye Minchun with a smile. The eyes of several girls in the Yang family also fell on Ye Minchun. Yufei and Yuxia's eyes were particularly hot.
If you can marry such a wishful husband, this life will not be in vain.
Ye Minchun was a little embarrassed, Princess Yanqing mobilized the public to hold a Laoshizi apricot blossom banquet this time, and invited most of the nobles in the capital, how could he not know the meaning of it. He is seventeen years old this year, and he is also at the age of marriage, but these pampered nobles in the capital are ......
He looked at the rain as if he were nothing. Wearing a hibiscus-colored spring shirt, there is no gold and silver thread piping, and there is no complicated embroidery and carving, it looks quite plain, a crow crow hair is pulled up, a simple snail is combed, a hairpin is swayed, a pair of southern pearls are hung under the round and full small earlobes, and there are no other ornaments.
Let's take a look at the other cousins, which one is not wearing red and green, the head is full of pearls, and the rain is like a little green in the red of ten thousand bushes, which has a unique style. I saw that her face was like a bud, her hands were soft, her skin was like cream, her lips were not red, and there was no fat powder on her face.
Ye Minchun has seen many beautiful girls, but she feels that Yulan is different from others. It is said that temperament is more important than appearance, Yulan has a special temperament, she sits there with low eyebrows, there is no special move, but she inadvertently attracts people's attention. Somehow, Ye Minchun remembered a poem: Autumn water is a god, jade is a bone, and hibiscus is like a face and willow like an eyebrow.
At first glance, I may not think so, but the more I look at it, the more I think she is good-looking. Some people look quite amazing at first glance, but after watching it for a long time, they will get tired of aesthetics, Yulan is just the opposite, her beauty is a kind of long-term beauty. In particular, a pair of eyes are black and angry, clear and translucent like a clear spring, as if you can see the bottom at a glance, but if you look carefully, it seems to contain infinite vicissitudes and sighs, which makes people's hearts tighten, and there is a faint pain.
Ye Minchun glanced at his younger brother Ye Minhong and found that he was also secretly looking at Yulan.
Yinyue suddenly said: "Everyone went out to enjoy the flowers, why didn't Sister Duqi go?" Ye Minchun and Ye Minhong also showed interested looks.
Yulan's heart twisted and turned, and immediately judged that the little princess should not have deliberately asked this question to make her ugly, so she smiled indifferently, and said honestly: "Don't hide it from my cousin, I made a mistake, and my father punished me for being grounded for a month, so I can't go out with my sisters, and I still regret it until now!" Thanks to my grandmother's mercy and compassion, I was allowed to come out to meet my third aunt and my cousin. He laughed as he spoke.
This is not a glorious thing after all, but Yulan said it generously, neither humble nor arrogant, and her tone was cordial and naturally without the slightest resentment, and even Princess Yanqing was impressed by her.
Princess Yinyue got up and said, "Oops! It's me Meng Lang! "Just apologize to Yulan.
Yulan stretched out her hand to support her, and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty, cousin don't care." ”
At this time, everyone talked about the girls making poems at the meeting, and the old lady asked, "Whose girl came out on top?" ”
Princess Yanqing said with a smile: "Now the girls are full of talent, and the poems they have made have caught up with the noble literati of the Hanlin Academy, and I think they have also made the top score." Today's theme is apricot blossoms, and the girls have written a few good poems...... "smiled and glanced at Yuxia: "Our sister Xia showed a big face today, and everyone jointly pushed her and the three girls of the bachelor's family of the Hanlin Academy and You." ”
Yuxia was very proud in her heart, and of course she was modest on the surface: "Third aunt, you also laugh at me...... Where do I have any good poems, but just a few random sentences to respond to the scene! The big guy just loves it! ”
The old lady was happy to hear this, and also praised a few words.
The corners of the eighth girl's mouth twitched, and her face was full of disdain. The eldest lady looked at the eighth girl, and she felt very uncomfortable. When the second wife saw it, she put on eye medicine on the side: "Sister Xia, read your poem to the old lady, so that the old man will be happy." ”
The old lady and the eldest man are both literary and elegant figures, how can they not like to write poetry. In order to compete for favor, Yuxia put a lot of effort into the poems, and early in the morning she drafted the poems at home, and she really showed her face.
Yuxia listened to everyone's praise, and was so excited that two red clouds rose on her face. "The third aunt and the second aunt have won the prize! The niece's tricks, how can she get into the eyes of her grandmother. I couldn't help but look at Ye Minchun, but I saw a decent smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't glance at himself at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The old lady was also quite happy when she heard this: "Our family is not as good as other people's families, your grandfather's poetry and literature are spread all over the world, and your father and uncle are also quite famous, even if you can't take the top exam like a man, you can't fall into the prestige of your father's ancestors." ”
The more the eighth girl listened, the more angry she became, and said sarcastically: "Who doesn't know that the second sister in our group of sisters has done a good job in poetry, if it weren't for the second sister who hides and refuses to do it today, how can it be the turn of others to be in the limelight?" "The second girl, Yujia, is about to get married, and going out today is to give face to Princess Yanqing, so naturally she will not compete with the girls who have not left the pavilion for these false names.
Yujia sat there reservedly, with a cold smile, without the slightest hint of mixture.
The old lady glared at the eighth girl, she had always been afraid of this grandmother, so frightened that she shrank her neck and immediately did not dare to speak.
Yuxia finally read out the poems she made.
Yulan smiled when she heard this. I thought that this was not a good work, but at her age and a woman, it was commendable that she could make this poem, which shows that she has worked hard in this area.
At this moment, the young masters of Chengzu, Chengye, and Chengzong were all interested, and they discussed the rhythm and rhyme of poetry and writing, and even Ye Minhong joined in. Ye Minchun smiled silently.
Princess Silver Moon pouted when she heard this: "You men like these dry and wet!" It's boring. He turned his head and chatted with Yulan about what he had seen outside. Her voice is soft and delicate, her speech is clear, and she speaks vividly and infectiously. After a while, Yufei, Yuxin, and Yuqing all joined in.
The second girl, Yu Jia, was still indifferent and didn't speak much, Yuxia just rushed to talk to Princess Yinyue, but she was snubbed by everyone intentionally or unintentionally, and her face became very ugly after a while. Princess Yinyue Bingxue is smart, and she naturally sees clearly, but pretends not to know.
At this time, Chengzong said: "Cousin Chun is extremely smart, both civil and military, why don't you also make a poem and open our brothers' eyes, which is also called grandmother's evaluation." ”
When Yinyue heard this, she immediately clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, okay!" With the theme of 'Spring', the rhyme is limited to fifteen salties, and the second brother is given a stick of incense time, and if he can't do it, he will be punished. ”
Fifteen salty rhymes are more difficult and dangerous than narrow rhymes, and there is only one stick of incense, and Yinyue is obviously difficult for his brother.
Ye Minchun immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "Good sister, can't my brother admit defeat?" How can you do this, sister, don't help your brother set up the stage, and tear down the stage for your brother everywhere! Even the old lady helped aside: "The little girl is too tricky!" ”
Ye Minchun seemed to be in a lot of interest today, so he smiled and said: "Forget about composing poems, I heard the prince say a pair of pairs a while ago, which is a game played by a staff member of the East Palace, which is very interesting." I'm here to test my brothers and sisters. Ask my grandmother to add some color to us, right, and reward him, okay? ”
The second wife laughed: "It's strange that Brother Daochun thought of such a topic, it turned out that he was thinking about your grandmother's good things!" ”
The old lady laughed: "So good! Xinghuang, go get my white jade Ruyi, the pair is good, and I will reward him to play. After a while, Ruyi took it, and put it in the middle of the table, and for a while the boys and girls were all gearing up.
Da Chu emphasizes literature and light martial arts, the so-called "Son of Heaven is heavy and heroic, the articles are all Ercao, everything is inferior, only reading is high", "a hundred battles and military merits can not be compared to a splendid article", since Taizu, the style of writing is prosperous, and the three-year-old children in the big families will also read a few lines of poetry, which is the basic in the pair. So it's only natural to talk about this topic at a family gathering.
Yulan also gradually became familiar with the lifestyle of the ancients. Think about it at that time, there was no film and television, there was no Internet or Weibo, and entertainment was extremely scarce, and only these word games could make these noble-born literati happy.
