Chapter 46: The Ladies and Gentlemen's Battlefield
The martyr's mound on the south side of Qujiang Pond is a hill shaped like a mound, there are ancestral halls and Taoist halls built outside, and an iron ox is cast with special iron melting utensils, which is about the meaning of 'casting a sword for a plow, stopping a fight for martial arts', it is still black and bright as new after 60 years, and someone wipes the incense every day.
While Zhu Manzhi sneaked into the case vault to steal secrets, Ning Qingye, who was responsible for pulling hatred and attracting firepower, also lay in ambush in the bamboo forest for a long time, waiting for 10,000 people to slaughter Zhang Xiang to appear, but it was not so easy to wait for Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang didn't come here to settle the grudge with Ning Qingye in the past, there were many people who had an enmity with Zhang Xiang, as the external face of the Investigation Division, Zhang Xiang didn't have so much spare time to pull and pull with the people of the rivers and lakes, and he came over in person just to suspect that there were thieves in the rivers and lakes lurking near Qujiang Pond and came to protect the safety of the Queen Mother.
And the queen mother naturally didn't know the existence of Ning Qingye, and finally went out of the palace, and it was impossible to return to the palace after worshipping.
The Queen Mother is the daughter of the Xiao family, the youngest sister of Prime Minister Xiao Chuyang, and the wives of the main houses of several wealthy families on Kuishou Street are all from the 'Xiao Lu Cui Wang Li' These family lords have known each other since childhood.
Xu Buling's mother is the daughter of the Lu family in the East China Sea, and she was originally in a circle with these ladies, but it is a pity that the Lu family in the East China Sea stood in the wrong line ten years ago, resulting in now becoming a family of rivers and lakes, and there is no one to speak to in the court, and the Jinling Lu family of the same source has been implicated, Mrs. Lu's father Lu Chengan should have been ranked among the three princes, but he has been at the bottom of the three princes and nine kings, and his voice is very weak.
Of course, the hidden edge between the major families will not be reflected in the married daughters, the queen mother took a group of ladies out to finish her business, and the conversation was still about the parents of ordinary people.
The observation deck by the Qujiang Pond is a high-rise building, and there are many ink treasures left by famous artists. In a hall on the third floor, more than a dozen dignified ladies sat inside, many official ladies and princesses stood behind and mixed their faces, and the maids carefully served tea and poured water, the atmosphere was more serious than that of the previous court, and no one wanted to make a fool of themselves in front of others.
The Queen Mother wore a golden dress and a phoenix crown, sat on the soft couch at the top and held a teacup, maintaining a smiling expression and listening quietly.
The woman who can enter the palace as the queen, in addition to her background, her appearance is definitely one in a million, among the more than a dozen charming and beautiful women present, there is definitely no difference in posture, but the queen mother has the bonus of temperament and status, as glamorous as a peony, obviously to overwhelm everyone, a bit of a lonely show.
Because of her widowhood, Mrs. Lu never dressed up too well in front of outsiders, and her accessories were not as quiet as hibiscus, but she just sat in the back and drank tea alone, which was not noticeable.
There are so many wealthy ladies present, there are cold beauties who don't eat the fireworks of the world, and naturally there are courtesans who stutter everywhere.
The Zhang family on Kuishou Street, the head of the family, Bai Shaofu, was ranked in Jiuqing, and he climbed up from the imperial examination, and he was born in a cold family. His wife Gao is the eldest daughter of a family, and she is also a wealthy family in the market, but she can't be on the table when she stays in this room, so she is the most popular and popular.
The woman's family inevitably mentioned her children and nephews when she spoke, but I don't know who mentioned that the eldest son of the Xiao family had great perseverance, and he ran to the poor mountains and bad waters to be the magistrate of the county at a young age. The Queen Mother was suddenly a little happier, obviously very satisfied with what she said. Seeing this, Gao Shi hurriedly saw the stitches and followed the praise:
"Xiao Jiadalang has outstanding character since he was a child, and everyone in Chang'an City knows it, so why do we need to evaluate it. It's Xiao Ting, the second lang of the Xiao family, who is usually quiet, but a few days ago he was a blockbuster, which makes people admire......"
Many of the women nodded their heads and agreed.
Although the Xiao family is the gate valve of Huainan, but there are not many real descendants, after Xiao Chuyang entered Beijing to worship the prime minister, his brother died of illness and left only an only son, Xiao Chuyang passed this son to his knees to cultivate, never thought that he still did not live past the age of twenty, and died early when he got married.
Now the Huainan Xiao family only has Xiao Chuyang's lineage left, and even the head of the family can only let the queen mother's sister sit in charge, which can be described as a lack of success. If it weren't for this, two fools like Xiao Ting would have been expelled from the house long ago, where would the stars be offered like the moon.
As the daughter of the Xiao family, the queen mother hopes that her sons and nephews will have a good future, and she smiled even more when she heard these words.
Seeing this, Gao Shi was even more energetic, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Mrs. Lu sitting in the back, and continued:
"In the past, those masters in the Guozijian said that Xiao Ting and Xu Shizi were not successful, but I think that with Mrs. Lu and the Queen Mother in charge of the two sons, where will they not be successful, it's just that they are not old. I heard that a few days ago, Xu Shizi also made a splash and made a good word......"
This can be regarded as blowing the Xiao family and blowing the Lu family, and by the way, he praised King Su and curryed favor on three sides.
It's just that Mrs. Lu didn't want to accept this feeling, so she put down the teacup when she heard the words, and interjected:
"Mrs. Gao, don't listen to rumors, they are all spread by those scholars."
Xu Buling of the Dragon Poetry Club did not admit that the respected Confucianism present was really not good at detaining the original author of "The Wind and the Dust and the Fragrance of Flowers Are Exhausted" on Xu Buling's head, so he could only end up in doubt, and the matter was not sure that it was not far away.
The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and others don't say that she naturally doesn't know what happened that day, and she asked curiously when she heard this:
"What poems did Xiao Buling write?"
Gao thought that Mrs. Lu was modest, nodded quite 'understandingly', and said:
"The wind and dust are gone, and the flowers are gone, and I am tired of combing my hair day and night. Things are people, and everything is resting, and tears flow first if you want to speak......"
All the nobles present were nobles, and the first time they heard this good song for the ages, they were refreshed, and when they listened to it again, they nodded slowly and were full of appreciation, and the official lady in the back was full of small stars.
The Queen Mother is the daughter of the Xiao family, and her poetry and song attainments are naturally not bad, but she became serious after listening to a few words. She died as soon as she entered the palace, and she stayed alone in the deep palace day and night.
After Gao's recitation, the Queen Mother bowed slightly: "The wind and dust are exhausted, and the flowers are exhausted, and I am tired of combing my hair day and night...... Good words...... This is written for Hongu? ”
“……”
The women present were all stunned, Gao wanted to say that Xu Buling wrote it to Mrs. Lu, but after thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with writing this poem to the Queen Mother.
Xu Buling said that day, but this poem was not written by Mrs. Lu......
So the woman's gaze became strange.
Mrs. Lu was about to explain, but when she heard the Queen Mother's words, her face suddenly looked bad, just like the hairpin that her daughter's family had just picked was packed and taken away by outsiders, how could she bear it, and hurriedly said:
"It's not for the Queen Mother."
“……??”
Many ladies and ladies quieted down, and the atmosphere suddenly became very serious......
