Chapter 214: Zhao's Birthday Banquet (3)

Guo Song stopped suddenly, he hesitated for a moment but asked with a smile: "Is this writing catkins?" ”

The girl turned her head slowly, Guo Song's gaze froze suddenly, he actually saw an incomparably delicate face, he didn't know how to describe this beautiful face like a fairy, although she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but that kind of beauty and refinement, as if there was no human atmosphere.

"I felt it, and it made Childe smile!"

She Yingying made a blessing ceremony, turned around to leave, Guo Song's heart moved, and said with a smile: "The Han Garden is sporadic and limited, and the Sui Embankment is endlessly embellished: the three spring careers pay the east wind, and the bright moon and plum blossoms are a dream." ”

The girl stopped, she chewed on the poem read by Guo Song, looked back at Guo Song curiously, and asked, "There should be more below!" ”

Guo Song smiled and continued: "A few red courtyards, whose fragrant snow curtains? Jiangnan and Jiangbei are generally the same, but they are hated by others! ”

"Very distinctive long and short sentences, exquisite rhetoric, written by Childe himself?"

Guo Song smiled faintly: "If the girl can't find its source, then it can be regarded as me!" ”

"What a big breath!"

The girl sneered slightly: "I'll ask you another question, if you write a poem, then I will admit that you wrote the long and short sentences just now." ”

Guo Song walked into the pavilion and sat down and said, "Girl, let's make a question!" I'm listening. ”

The girl groaned, and she suddenly smiled and said: "The poem I wrote just now is indeed catkins, I don't want you to do anything else, so I will let you write another catkins poem, or long and short sentences." ”

This question is well written, and writing two poems on the same thing is the real chapter.

Guo Song is familiar with 300 Tang poems, and he can't write poems and can chant them, he pretended to think for a moment, and said slowly: "Then I will give another long and short sentence, please girl axe!" ”

"Childe, please!

Guo Song chanted slowly: "The spring dance in front of Baiyutang is unwinded, and the east wind rolls evenly. Bees and butterflies are in chaos: how many have they passed away with the water? How can it be compromised? ”

The girl's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she blurted out praise: "What a good Bai Yutang spring dance, the east wind rolls evenly, and then what?" ”

Guo Song continued: "Thousands of threads will never change, let him gather and divide as he pleases." Shaohua Xiu laughed without roots, and the good wind relied on his strength to send me to the clouds. ”

The girl was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Childe, please wait a while, I'll be back soon!" ”

She went in a hurry, Guo Song sat on the bridge pavilion, but she was a little curious in her heart, this girl is extremely talented in literature, and she should be very famous in the Tang Dynasty, but Guo Song can't remember what are the female poets in the Tang Dynasty for a while?

However, this girl looks very different from the girls of the Tang Dynasty, most of the young women in the Tang Dynasty are round and jade, but the face of this girl has a delicate outline of a later woman, full of texture.

When Guo Song was thinking wildly, the girl hurried back with a bookbag and smiled apologetically: "Let the son wait for a long time." ”

She took out the white paper and pen and ink, spread the paper on the stone bench, and said with a smile: "Please ask the prince to write down the two long and short sentences just now." ”

"Why write it down?" Guo Song asked pretending to be puzzled.

The girl smiled slyly, "I'm only shallow in learning and informed, I'm going to show these two long and short sentences to the masters to identify and see if they were written by others?" ”

Guo Song lifted the pen, and after a while, he thought about it, and then fell into his own name, 'Lingzhou Guo Song'.

The girl secretly admired that this pen was written vigorously and powerfully, straight through the back of the paper, and it seemed that she had a bit of talent.

"Guo Gongzi is from Lingzhou?"

"I was born in Lingzhou, but now I'm in Chang'an."

The girl smiled indifferently, "Being able to enter the Zhao Mansion as a guest, it can be seen that the mix is not bad, thank you Gongzi for giving me the words." ”

"It's not well written, it's ugly, but isn't the poem good?"

"I'll talk about this after I'm going to get to it."

The girl put away the words written by Guo Song, pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and left.

"Wait!" Guo Song hurriedly shouted.

The girl stopped, looked back and smiled: "Could it be that the child's inspiration is not exhausted?" ”

Guo Song hugged his fists and said, "Haven't asked the girl's name yet?" ”

The girl hesitated, but still told Guo Song, "My surname is Xue, and I am from the capital." ”

Guo Song's heart moved, and he blurted out, "You are ..... Xue Tao? ”

The girl was also stunned, "Childe knows about me?" ”

Guo Song slapped his forehead, why didn't he think that the willow poem chanted by the girl just now had read Xue Tao's poem!

This girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, and her age is right, her father should have offended Yuan Zai in the past two years and was demoted to Bashu, not long after he died of illness in Yunnan, the mother and daughter fell into poverty, Xue Tao was forced by life, so he sold himself as a musician, became a famous prostitute in history, and was also a famous female poet in the Tang Dynasty.

The girl was even more curious, tilted her head to look at Guo Song for a while, and said with a smile: "Childe actually knows me, but I have never heard of Childe's name." ”

At this time, Guo Song saw a woman walking quickly towards this side, it was estimated that it was Xue Tao's mother, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he hugged his fists and smiled: "Guo Song is deeply honored to know Miss Xue, we are destined to meet again!" ”

He bowed, then turned and hurried away.

The girl is Xue Tao, her father Xue Yunguan is the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Yunhai has a good relationship, he received the invitation, so he took his wife and daughter to Zhao's mansion for a banquet, but he didn't expect Xue Tao to meet Guo Song inadvertently.

However, Xue Tao was not surprised, she was praised as a talented girl by the Chang'an literati when she was eight or nine years old, many people have heard her name, and it is not surprising that this young man knows herself.

It's this young man, who has good poetry and calligraphy, but he has never heard of it.

Xue Tao looked at Guo Song's back, and she really had a trace of curiosity about this talented young man.

"Tao'er, who is he?" Xue Tao's mother, Han Shi, stepped forward and asked.

Xue Tao shook his head and smiled: "I don't know who he is?" A man like the wind, I don't know when to come, and I don't know when to go? ”

Han was very dissatisfied, "You chatted with him for a long time, and in the end you were still a stranger, what's the point?" ”

Xue Tao sighed and said helplessly: "According to my mother's thoughts, what is interesting?" ”

"At least to know what his background is, who are his parents? What official position, what is his family background, and what is he doing? These are the key points, you are not small, don't be sad all day long, think about your life's events is serious! ”

Xue Tao's face turned red, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense?" Let others hear and laugh at us! ”

She stomped her foot, turned and walked away quickly.

Han refused to let her go, chased after her and asked, "You just need to tell me what the young man's name is, and I won't ask anything else." ”

Xue Tao said helplessly: "I only know his surname Guo, and I don't know anything else." ”

She sped up and left, and Han didn't follow her anymore, but stood there and muttered, "Surname Guo? Whose son will this be? ”

.........

Guo Song walked to the gate of the back garden, but faintly heard several men commenting on the girls in the back garden.

"In terms of beauty, Miss Xue is still the best, I have read countless women, and I am the only one who can be called the one who captivates the country and the city......"

Guo Song heard someone commenting on Xue Tao, and couldn't help but slow down.

"Xue Cainu's family background is not good, her family even rents a house, it's not bad to be a confidant, marrying a wife is not a good match, I think that the daughter of Dugu and the daughter of the Dou family not only have the appearance of the country, but also have a deep family background, and the top grade, that is a good match for marrying a wife."

"Forget it! How can we miss the daughter of the nobles of Guanlong, or be realistic, it would be good to marry the daughter of the last family. ”

Guo Song shook his head, these young people are very realistic! For them, marrying a wife is a science, which is related to their future and future, and they value their family more than anything else.

At this time, a young man rushed over and said loudly: "Everyone go quickly, Yuan Xiangguo is here!" ”

Several of the young men in the pavilion jumped up and galloped towards the front yard.

There was a commotion in front of the gate of Zhao's mansion, Xiang Guoyuan came, and officials came from all directions; Even today's birthday star Zhao Guanshan personally greeted him at the gate.

Yuan Zai's power is monstrous, and even Li Shi, the superintendent of the state, has to look at his face, and any appointment of court officials must be reviewed by him, and the appointment of officials below the third grade is even directly decided by him, and there is no need to submit it to the Son of Heaven, unless it is a key position such as the servant of the Ministry of Officials and the Servant of the Household Department.

This is the reason why he vetoed the Son of Heaven to appoint Guo Song as the governor of Anxi, from a legal point of view, his approach did not violate the rules, the history of the governor of Anxi Governor is a five-grade civil servant, and the Son of Heaven has no right to directly appoint him, it should be the Ministry of Officials to propose a list of candidates according to the assessment, and then several prime ministers decided on the official candidates after discussion, and passed after reporting to the Son of Heaven for approval.

The Son of Heaven has the right to recommend the appointment and dismissal of low-grade officials, and several ministers can refute the Son of Heaven's suggestion after discussion, but they must come up with written reasons, and the Son of Heaven can only give up after accepting it, but like Yuan Zai, he is arbitrary and arbitrary, and directly vetoes the appointment proposal of the Son of Heaven, which is to some extent a contempt for imperial power, and there is no difference from the previous Yu Chaoen.

This is the side of Yuan Zai's flying and domineering, only a few people can feel it, but most of the middle and low-level officials see the other side of Corporal Yuan Zai Lixian, who cares about the welfare of his subordinates and is amiable.

"Yuan Xiangguo personally came to the mansion to pay respects, and the old man can't afford it!" Zhao Guanshan said with sincerity on his face.

Yuan Zai smiled, "The general's birthday, Yuan naturally came to celebrate his birthday, in addition, I also represent the Yuan family to the general on his birthday, the head of the family is feeling ill, it is not suitable to go out, specially entrusted me to come, I wish the general a long life and happiness, and the children and grandchildren are prosperous." ”

"Thank you so much, Xiangguo, please!"

Yuan Zai nodded with a smile, signed his name with a pen, and followed Zhao Guanshan into the mansion, both sides were already crowded with court officials, and they all applauded to welcome Yuan Zai's arrival.

Yuan Zai smiled and waved to everyone, Guo Song clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the gate of the East Courtyard and looked at Yuan Zai coldly, in history, Yuan Zai was taken down this year and next year, and his time was running out.

At this time, Yuan Zai suddenly saw Guo Song in the distance, and the provocative sneer on Guo Song's face made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

Yuan Zai smiled and beckoned to Guo Song, "Virtuous nephew, it turns out that you are also here!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "Yuan Xiangguo, it's been a few days!" ”
