Chapter 132: Poetry Society
As soon as Shen Jiahe's proposal was spoken, Shi Xiangyuan immediately responded: "It's good to pay attention to this, when the time comes, create some opportunities for them, if your second brother also thinks Jiuzhi is good, then this matter will be done." ”
Lu Jiuzhi's face on the side was even redder, but he still hesitated and asked, "That's ...... Will he be able to promise to go over? ”
"I'll leave this to me, you don't have to worry." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, "What's more, it was his aunt who gave him a post at that time, and he shouldn't refuse." ”
The two said goodbye from King Xian's mansion, Shi Xiangyuan sent Lu Jiuzhi back to the house first, and when he returned to his house, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly went to Shi's mother's room.
After listening to Shi Xiangyuan's proposal to hold a poetry meeting, Shi Muhu looked at her suspiciously: "What are you paying attention to?" I still don't know you, I have a headache when I read a book, I faint when I compose a poem, you can hide from other people's poetry clubs, and now you have to take the initiative to let me hold a poetry club, say quickly, what do you want to do. ”
"Hey, I can't compose poems, but isn't there a Lu Jiuzhi? This poetry meeting is for her, and her daughter is just a foil, so you can agree. Shi Xiangyuan didn't plan to hide this from her mother anyway.
Shi's mother was even more strange: "Although Jiuzhi likes things like poetry, she is not a lively character, don't use her as a disguise, what is your purpose, quickly admit it to me." ”
Shi Xiangyuan pouted and said helplessly: "Okay, my daughter will tell you the truth, Jiuzhi has fallen in love with Shen Jiachen and asked me to create an opportunity for her!" ”
Shi's mother was taken aback, and a lot of unstable tea spilled out of the cup in her hand, "I didn't say anything when you fell in love with Shen Jiajue, it was because our two families were in-laws, but how did you let Jiuzhi also contact other men in private?" If...... If so......"
If it was, Shi's mother couldn't say, but she felt that the child raised in the boudoir like the Lu family was spoiled by her own daughter, but this was also her own baby daughter, and she was really not good at scolding.
Shi Xiangyuan said nonchalantly: "Jiahe also agreed, you don't know that her second brother is like a stuffy gourd, and even Jiahe can't see his preferences." We are not afraid, if we let you adults say it directly, when the time comes, Jiuzhi will not look good on his face and feel sad in his heart, so he thought of this idea, and when the time comes, my mother will invite more people, as long as it doesn't seem too deliberate. ”
Seeing that Shi's mother was frowning and still hesitant on her face, Shi Xiangyuan begged again: "Mother, you just agree, isn't this also for everyone's good!" ”
"Okay, okay, I promise you, but," Shi's mother stretched out her hand and nodded Shi Xiangyuan's forehead, "Shen Jiajue, this kid is good, don't take it seriously all day, there are many people who take a fancy to him outside, you take more snacks and put him in prison." Don't worry about others all day long, even if Jiuzhi's child doesn't fall in love with Shen Jiachen, with her ability, the in-laws she will find in the future will not be bad. ”
Thinking of Shen Jiajue, Shi Xiangyuan's face turned red: "My daughter knows, my mother can rest assured." ”
Shi's mother does not often hold these literary and artistic gatherings, for this matter also went to find her mother's sisters to ask, I heard that her brother has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs, there is a large natural lotus pond in it, his brother previously found someone to build a pavilion on it, surrounded by a covered bridge, and now it is about to enter the summer, at this time in the past to enjoy the scenery, but also have a special fun.
Shi's mother thought it was good, and the location was also in line with the name of this poetry club, so she asked her brother to borrow this place and set the day of the poetry meeting, which was the day of the beginning of summer.
After the date was set, Shi's mother began to make a list of invitations to participate in the poetry meeting, and Shi Xiangyuan saw it and asked: "Will my mother give a post to King Xian's mansion at that time?" ”
Shi's mother pondered for a while, shook her head and said: "These people in the capital have different views on your cousin's marriage, and you also know the entanglements here, they have just gotten married, I am worried that Princess Xian will inevitably hear some gossip in the past, so I don't plan to invite them." ”
Shi Xiangyuan was still waiting to cooperate with Shen Jiahe that day, where would he agree to his mother's arrangement, and hurriedly instigated: "My daughter still has to post to Shen Jiajue's two brothers, wouldn't it be lively if Princess Xian also went, and my mother didn't have to think about it, their marriage has become a fact, even if there are those who like to talk a lot, they don't dare to be presumptuous at our family's poetry meeting, besides, they will always come out to socialize in the future, wouldn't it be better to let Shen Jiahe adapt to our territory first." ”
Shi's mother thought about it, but she felt that Shi Xiangyuan's words still made some sense: "It's rare for you to be smart for a while, and your mother will listen to you this time." ”
The day of Lixia soon arrived, the location of the poetry meeting was placed in the suburbs, in order not to be late Shen Jiahe participated from the palace early in the morning, the invitation was originally to invite the two of them, but Pei Yuan temporarily wanted to go to the Yuan Pavilion to check on something, so he could only let Liuyu bring two secret guards to serve with Shen Jiahe.
Shi Xiangyuan, as the owner, moved in a day in advance, and helped Shi's mother to decorate the pavilion early in the morning, and heard that the next person came to the pavilion to report, saying that there were three or four carriages outside, and they were busy following Shi's mother to go out to welcome guests.
Shen Jiahe thought that he was early, but when he got out of the carriage, he saw that Lu Jiuzhi had already talked to Shi Xiangyuan at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I thought I could catch up early, but I didn't expect that there would be someone earlier than me." ”
"I just heard Jiuzhi say that she was nervous, and she had to come over early to see the environment, so she got used to it early in the morning, and I was laughing at her, but it happened that you came over." Shi Xiangyuan smiled and pinched Lu Jiuzhi's shoulder, which made Lu Jiuzhi blush again.
Shen Jiahe stepped forward and took Lu Jiuzhi's hand and said, "Although my second brother doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, don't worry, as long as it's the same on weekdays, Xiang Yuan and I will help you on the side." ”
Not far away, Mother Shi had already walked over with Mrs. Gu, and the three of them saluted Mrs. Gu in unison, Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "It's all young people's world, let's go inside and take a look first." ”
Shen Jiahe and the others laughed and followed, and the carriages of Shen Jiajue and Shen Jiachen also arrived outside Zhuangzi one after another, but they changed Shi Xiangzhuo to greet them.
The three of them looked at the girls walking in front of them from a distance, and Shen Jiajue pointed to one of them and asked, "Which girl is walking with my sister and Xiang Yuan?" How have I never seen it. ”
Shen Jiachen raised his eyes and looked: "That's the girl of the Lu family, didn't Jiahe follow Mrs. Lu to add the box on the day she got married?" How can you not remember. ”
Shi Xiangjie remembered what his sister told him, and his eyes looked at Shen Jiachen at this time with some meaning: "It's hard for you to remember people, how can I remember that you never pay attention to these girls' families on weekdays." ”
Shen Jiachen glanced at him, and the expression on his face did not change at all: "On the day of Jiahe's wedding, everyone was chattering, only she had been quietly away from the crowd. ”
Shen Jiajue chuckled: "Then the two of you are quite a match, do you want me to ask Xiang Yuan if this girl is a marriage match, so that I can match you?" ”
Shi Xiangjie hurriedly answered: "I heard that she is not married, my mother likes her very much, and not long ago she was still talking at home that she didn't know that there would be a blessed person who married her." ”
Shen Jiajue couldn't help but glance at Lu Jiuzhi in front of her again, and asked with a smile: "This Lu girl is so good, she can be praised by Mrs. Shi so much." ”
Shi Xiangjie looked at Shen Jiachen's face intentionally or unintentionally, and replied with a smile: "I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't have to be worse than that sister in your family." ”
The two sang and harmonized, but Shen Jiachen always had a straight face, Shen Jiajue reached out and smashed his shoulder, and pouted in the direction of Lu Jiuzhi: "How is it, you have something to say!" ”
"Don't mess around!" Shen Jiachen reprimanded lightly, but Shen Jiajue and Shi Xiangjie were a little sneering for a while, and they didn't dare to speak more.
They got closer, and the voice of the conversation of the previous few people came faintly, "I came here in the morning, the scenery on the road is excellent, the so-called 'Longmu is long and steaming green wheat, and the garden rain is ripe yellow plum', it is really not lost in this yard at all, if it is not for the sun now, I really want to go out and have a look." ”
The timbre is light and can distinguish that it is Lu Jiuzhi's voice, although it is someone else's verse, but after listening to it, it feels like seeing such a beautiful scenery, Shen Jiachen has been sleeping in the carriage all the way, this will hear Lu Jiuzhi's words, but he yearns for the scenery outside, so he said: "It's a pity!" ”
A male voice sounded behind her, Lu Jiuzhi looked back in a panic, and looked across a small section of winding covered bridge, it was the person she was thinking about in her heart during this time, she was both happy and flustered in her heart, but she still blessedly blessed Shen Jiachen with the calm on her face.
Several people met, and after greeting each other, Shen Jiahe asked Shen Jiachen with a smile: "What did the second brother just say about the pity?" ”
Lu Jiuzhi also peeked at Shen Jiachen, his two words came out after his words fell, and they should have something to do with him.
Shen Jiachen first nodded to Lu Jiuzhi, and then explained: "I just heard Miss Lu talk about what I saw on the road, but I stayed in the carriage and didn't see it when I came, so I felt a pity." ”
"I see, when Shen Gongzi goes back, there will still be a chance, 'the sunset covers Zhu Rongfeng, and Hengyue is full of red', there must be another taste." Li Vortex smiled lightly, his eyes seemed to have crossed everyone to see the beautiful scenery in the poem, even if Shen Jiahe was also a woman, he felt that Lu Jiuzhi at this time was really charming.
"The girl of the Lu family has already won half of the competition before she participates in the poetry competition, and Mrs. Lu has really cultivated a good daughter." Mrs. Gu and Shi Mu were not far away, and when they heard the words of several young people, they couldn't help but praise loudly.
Shi's mother was also not stingy with those nice words: "Who said it wasn't, if I had returned to Beijing a few years earlier, I would have learned from Mrs. Lu, how did I train my daughter so well." ”
Lu Jiuzhi's little face was flushed, and her dimples became more and more intoxicating: "Thank you Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Shi, it was Jiuzhi who made a fool of herself in front of everyone." ”
Shen Jiachen raised her eyes to look at Lu Jiuzhi again in the midst of all the laughter, it was already summer, she was wearing a little light today, a goose yellow dress was as soft as a plush dandelion in early spring, and her figure was lighter than the berry red dress she saw when she first saw it.
Shen Jiahe has been paying attention to the two of them from the side, where can he not see the difference in Shen Jiachen's eyes today, he is bent on creating opportunities for the two, and hurriedly greets: "I look at the new lotus in the lotus pond in front of me, and it actually buds so early, let's go to the pavilion to take a good look." ”
It didn't take long for the poetry meeting to start under the auspices of Shi Mu and Mrs. Gu, and Lu Jiuzhi was prepared, whether it was to compose poems or make pairs, he was extremely outstanding among everyone.
When the poetry meeting ended and the time was not early, a group of people said goodbye one after another, Shi Xiangyuan looked at the two of them who were still strangers, so he had to take the opportunity to send off the guests to help his friend.
Shen Jiahe's brother and sister were talking by the carriage, and Shi Xiangyuan took Lu Jiuzhi to say goodbye to a few people: "My mother and I are leaving late, you are traveling on the road, please help me take care of Jiuzhi." ”
As she spoke, she pulled Jiuzhi and walked in the direction of Shen Jiachen, and saw the opportunity to kick a stone in front of Lu Jiuzhi's feet, Lu Jiuzhi stumbled at that time, and everyone was shocked and stretched out their hands, Shen Jiachen was the closest, and naturally he was the first to help the person.
He helped the person up, and quickly let go of his hand, only arching his hand and saying: "Since they are peers, they will naturally take care of one or two." ”
