Chapter 171: The Assassins Attack
Xiao Ding was in the back garden of King Gao's mansion, fighting poems with Luo Simao, and plagiarized a poem "Xuemei" by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu Meipo, but unfortunately the handwriting was really uncontrollable, crooked, and hooked (dialect vocabulary, to describe the crooked appearance). After writing it, it was placed on an empty table next to it, and it was seen by Miss Yang Yueling from the Yang Wang's Mansion who came later.
This Miss Yang has a pretty ladylike name, but she is not a lady at all. Seeing that Xiao Ding's writing was ugly, he laughed as if no one was around, laughing and laughing at the same time: "Who wrote this handwriting, how can it be so ugly!" ”
Yang Yueling smiled like this, and everyone's attention was focused on that pair of words, and then the two sons of the Yang family and the two sons of the Yue family also laughed. They even laughed and bent over.
Although Xiao Ding was thick-skinned enough, he also looked very embarrassed, he stayed there, he didn't stand, he didn't sit, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Gao Wanjun seemed to sense Xiao Ding's embarrassment, and she hurriedly shouted to Yang Yueling: "Sister Yueling, why don't you see what kind of poem is written on it?" If the handwriting is not good, it can only mean that you have not practiced well, but it does not mean that you are not talented. ”
"I said Sister Wanjun, who wrote this word, why did you defend him?" Yang Yuelingqiang stopped laughing and said to Gao Wanjun.
"Sister Yueling, what nonsense are you talking about! I mean, let you read that poem carefully, this poem was written by General Tian, how is it written? ”
"Ah, you wrote that! Haha, I can spell the words I wrote! Haha, haha! When Yang Yueling heard that this word was written by Xiao Ding, she turned her head to look at Xiao Ding and laughed, without the sense of distance that strangers met for the first time.
Xiao Ding had to grin awkwardly, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.
Gao Wanjun saw that Yang Yueling was still laughing at Xiao Ding, so she opened her mouth again and said: "Sister Yueling, why are you still laughing at his words, I advise you to take a good look at the poems he wrote, the poems made by General Tian are very well written, and my father praises them!" ”
"Really? Even Uncle Gao praised it, it should be well written, but this word is ......, hahahaha......" Yang Yueling finally stopped laughing, and as soon as she said half a sentence, she couldn't help it again.
Gao Liangkai was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the imperial court, and was usually responsible for compiling and sorting out ancient books and other things. Therefore, his evaluation has always been regarded as a more authoritative evaluation.
When everyone saw Yang Yueling laughing demonically, they all laughed wildly, and they didn't know whether they were laughing at Xiaoding's ugly words or laughing at Miss Yang's demonic laughter.
At this time, a servant came to the old prince and said, "Tell the prince, the dinner is ready." ”
When Gao Zhengde heard that the dinner was ready, he stood up, raised his voice and shouted to the people who were still giggling: "The dinner is ready, everyone come with me to the hall for the dinner!" ”
Hearing that the dinner party was about to start, everyone stopped laughing, stood up, and followed the old prince towards the front yard hall.
To have a dinner party, of course, you have to go back to the house. After all, it was still winter at this time, and although the winter in the Jiangnan area was not too cold, if you held a banquet outside, the food would not take long before it would be cold.
The back garden is only suitable for enjoying lights, flowers, and chatting. It's not quite appropriate to have a wine banquet here.
Xiao Ding followed everyone to the hall and saw that the long table in the hall was already full of all kinds of wine and food. The hall was brightly lit.
Xiao Ding thought to himself, this is a portrayal of the daily life of the aristocratic family. Ordinary people's homes are lit with dim oil lamps at night. Who is willing to buy candles at home, besides, the candles lit in this hall are candles as thick as an arm, and there is not only one candle lit, and I don't know how many have been lit in total!
The dinner was very sumptuous, with a lot of dishes, Xiao Ding had never seen them, and some of them had never even heard of them, let alone eaten them.
Although the chefs of this era did not have the same fancy skills as the chefs of later generations, many of the ingredients of this era were not available in later generations. And all of them are pure natural and pollution-free ingredients. The meat is also pure wild delicacies from the mountains and seas that have not been fed.
Everyone toasted each other and drank.
To Xiao Ding's surprise, the eldest lady of Yang Wangfu, Yang Yueling, was not inferior to a man, and drank wine with the male guests. Although the alcohol of this era is lower in degree, it is also wine, that, one sip and one glass, what is the situation?
Since the last time Luo Simao drank with Xiao Ding in Dingbian City, he knew how much Xiao Ding drank, and he couldn't get Xiao Ding drunk with his own amount of alcohol alone.
So during the drinking, Luo Simao frequently thought about the eyes of the other good friends, and hoped that everyone would come together to toast Xiao Ding.
The two sons of Yang Wangfu and the two sons of Yue Wangfu are usually used to fooling around with Luo Simao, and when they saw Luo Simao making eyes at them, they both understood what Luo Simao meant.
So, several sons all found their own excuses and came to toast Xiaoding.
Xiao Ding drank and drank, and also felt the ill will of several princes of the palace towards him. So I woke up a little bit.
To be honest, Xiao Ding is really not afraid of drinking at all. It's a big deal to force the alcohol out of the body. For him, it wasn't that hard.
Several princes of the palace frequently took turns to toast Xiao Ding, but let the careful Gao Wanjun see it. She hurriedly stood up and said with a cold face, "What did I say you brothers are doing?" Bullying General Tian is an honest man! Why don't you dare to toast Sister Yueling in turn? ”
"Sister Yueling will beat people if she drinks too much!" Yue Yunfeng of King Yue's Mansion muttered quietly.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he almost didn't make a sound, and said in his heart, he is still afraid of the wicked! It seems that this Miss Yang should have cleaned them up in normal times, and they are still worried that this eldest lady will go crazy with alcohol!
As soon as Gao Wanjun saw those boys, she didn't have the slightest intention of restraining herself, so she continued to say coldly: "Since you don't dare to toast Sister Yueling, then come and toast me!" See if I'm going to kill you? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare! Sister Gao, we don't dare to offend! We don't dare to have the slightest crooked mind about Sister Gao! Several princes of the palace said one after another.
At this moment, Xiao Ding finally understood why Gao Wanjun usually likes to have a cold face. It turns out that there are so many shameless friends around her, if she gives a good face, these boys will not have to kick their noses to the sky!
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Come on, there are assassins!" Catch the Assassins! ”
Assassins coming? Everyone was shocked and said, what the hell happened?
