After arranging to investigate the old stories of Mrs. Wang and Jia Min, Lu Jing continued to study hard.

Early the next morning, after Lu Jing got up, he saw snowflakes floating in the sky.

In less than half an hour, the north wind blew more and more fiercely, the snow became denser and denser, and the snowflakes became bigger and bigger.

The snowflakes fell one after another for a day and a night, and when the 28th day was over, I saw that the roofs, promenades, railings, etc. were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the earth became covered with silver, and the trunks of the trees were bent over.

The snow was sunny, and Lu Jing received a post from Li Yi inviting him to participate in the poetry meeting held by Jiangnan Shizi.

Nowadays, most of the scholars who will participate in next year's spring festival have arrived in the capital, and the scholars who belong to the same place often get together to hold some poetry and literary meetings.

Some of the scholars who joined the court would also form associations together, and the imperial court did not attach importance to the affairs of the scholars' associations, all of them were those who had not entered the officialdom, and the associations were all composed of poems and vassals, and most of them would be dissolved after the scientific examination.

Lu Jing did not brush off Li Yi's kindness, and went happily, but he went away happily and returned disappointed, and most of the people who participated in the poetry meeting talked in general terms and nodded as friends.

So on the second day of the poetry meeting, Lu Jing posted a post inviting Chen Ting, Ge Yin, Li Yi and Shen Liang to organize a poetry meeting by themselves.

On the first day of December, after everyone arrived, Lu Jing introduced the four of them to each other in turn.

The five of them were of similar age, the eldest Chen Ting was twenty-four years old, followed by Li Yi at twenty-three years old, Ge Yin at twenty years old, Lu Jing at nineteen years old, and the youngest Shen Liang at seventeen years old.

After a hearty conversation during the banquet, Lu Jing took Chen Ting and the four people to tour the garden, and finally the five people stopped in the Moyan Pavilion, Lu Jing ordered people to put fruit cakes and incense stoves, and the five people enjoyed the scenery in the pavilion while drinking.

At this time, the snow in the garden is covered, which is even more chic, Chen Ting proposed: "Huaijin's garden is exquisite and chic, and now the snow is set against the background, it is even more fun, and it is better for a few of us to form a literary club, but it is also an elegant thing." ”

"Yan Zhi's proposal is good!" Ge Yin was the first to agree.

Lu Jing and Shen Liang also supported it when they heard this, and everyone began to discuss the name of the literary society.

"I think it's better to call it Qionglin Society, although it is a bit vulgar, but we are all scholars who are determined to take scientific examinations, and now in addition to the brother of the court has successfully climbed the gold list and participated in the Qionglin banquet, we still need to continue to struggle, in the name of this, we will take the gold list of this branch and participate in the Qionglin banquet as the goal, which can be regarded as a good luck!" Lu Jing suggested.

Several people happily agreed when they heard this, and Shen Liang said: "There is a saying that a snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without wings, so we should also nominate a president to preside over our Qionglin Society!" ”

"I think it's Huai Jin, now in Huai Jin's house, Huai Jin should also do his best to be a landlord!" Ge Yin suggested.

Lu Jing shook his head and said: "As Wen Jing said, I should recommend myself in theory, but our Qionglin Club is determined to participate in the Qionglin banquet, and the brother of the court has already been named on the gold list, so we might as well nominate the court as the president, so that we can also be happy, wouldn't it be better!" ”

"I'll see it!" Shen Liang agreed, "Brother Tingzhi is the oldest and has extraordinary knowledge, so he is very suitable to be the president!" ”

Ge Yin and Li Yi also nodded and said, "There is no other choice." ”

Chen Ting stood up modestly and arched his hand: "Thanks to your love, I will be the best, Tingzhi hereby wishes you in advance the title of today's gold list and be honored at the Qionglin banquet!" ”

"Thanks to Ji Yan!" Lu Jing and the others raised their glasses and smiled.

Then Lu Jing and the four of them raised their glasses to toast to Chen Ting, and after Chen Ting drank it, he established the position of president.

"Since we are married to the Literary Society, and now it is the end of the year, I have listened to a lot of wonderful couplets these days, and we might as well have a couplet, which is also appropriate to the situation!" Chen Ting proposed.

"That's great!" Lu Jing and the others agreed.

"In this case, I will first make an upper link, and for those who make a lower link, I will continue to make an upper link. Whether the upper and lower links are correct, we jointly decide, if the five of us jointly agree, it will be considered a success, and the person who does not punish the author with a glass of wine, what do you think? Chen Ting asked.

"Just according to the words of the brother of the court!"

Chen Ting saw the plum blossoms in the snow and said, "Yes, everyone listen to my upper link: white plum in the snow, white plum in the snow, white plum in the snow." ”

"Good sentence!" Li Yi praised, "Xuemei appears and mirrors each other, especially the use of overlapping words, and it is wonderful to the peak, the brother of the court is really talented!" ”

Lu Jing and a few others also praised it, and then began to think about the next link.

Before long, Ge Yin took the lead in speaking: "Is it appropriate for you to listen to my next link: the water in the river, the water of the Yangtze River, the water of the Yangtze River." ”

"It's a bit far-fetched!" Everyone commented, Ge Yin was not discouraged, and continued to want to go down.

When Lu Jing saw the bamboo, his heart moved and said: "The green bamboo in the wind, the wind caresses the green bamboo and the bamboo caresses the wind." ”

"Good sentences, neat battles, moving and static, sound and color, just matching!" Shen Liang praised.

Chen Ting and several people appreciated it, and they all praised it, and bluntly said that this couplet can be called absolute.

Lu Jing was modest, and then went out of the upper link, he looked around, only to see that the rockery in the park was covered with a layer of snow, so he said: "My upper link is: Qingshan Yuan is not old, for the snow white head." ”

Chen Ting and the others fell into deep thought for a while, this sentence was very ingenious, using anthropomorphic rhetoric, and the idea was also very ingenious.

Before a moment came, it was Ge Yin who spoke first: "The green water is worry-free, but the wind wrinkles the face." ”

Everyone praised Ge Yin for being right, not only neatly fighting, but also asking and answering questions from top to bottom, which can be called absolute.

Ge Yin was also overjoyed, and after everyone finished drinking, he smiled and said: "Hehe, it's time for me to come out of the upper link, my upper link is what I once heard a friend say, and I have been thinking and meditating hard and have not yet been satisfied with the next link!" ”

"Wen Jing don't sell Guanzi, don't come quickly!" Li Yi urged.

Ge Yin stopped talking nonsense, and smiled directly: "Shanglian is: painting a lotus monk." ”

Lu Jing and several people were a little embarrassed for a while, this sentence is a palindrome sentence, the monk is homophonic, the lotus and the homonym, and it is difficult to make the next couplet.

Everyone paced back and forth, thinking for half a stick of incense, Lu Jing inadvertently looked at Chen Ting, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said: "I have a sentence, you and listen to whether it is appropriate, the book is in the Hantian Hanlin Book." ”

Everyone shouted after hearing it, Lin and Lin were in the same voice, Han and Han were in the same voice, and the battle was neat, and they praised Lu Jing's quick thinking.

After Lu Jing came out again, Chen Ting and several people went down, so repeatedly, everyone was in high spirits, and it was carried out until the time of the unitary break, and then everyone made an appointment to reunite, and then they said goodbye and left.

After Lu Jing said goodbye to everyone, he returned to the study, wrote down today's Zhulian silently, and then selected a few interesting couplets to transcribe on a piece of paper, and picked out a few interesting scripts, and asked Youxia and Qingqiu to send them to Daiyu, wanting to see Daiyu's thoughts.

Youxia and Qingqiu came to Lin Daiyu, and after greeting Daiyu, they handed the piece of paper and a few scripts to Daiyu: "This is what our master gave to the girl." ”

If Lin Daiyu had received Lu Jing's gift in the past, she would have been overjoyed, but she was worried at this time, she didn't know where her future would be, and she also had a pessimistic attitude towards her relationship with Lu Jing.

After Lin Daiyu took it in a happy mood, she flipped through it and found that it was just a few scripts and a few couplets, and she was a little puzzled: "Why did my cousin remember to send me these?" ”

Youxia replied: "I invited a few friends to form a union in the garden today, and I thought that some of them were quite interesting, so I sent them to the girl and let the girl take a look." ”

Qingqiu continued: "The master also said that the weather is cold now, and the girl is bored in the house, and it is not interesting to think about it, so I will send a few scripts to the girl to relieve her boredom!" ”

Lin Daiyu was a little moved in her heart, and when she heard about the association, she also raised some interest: "What kind of club did they form cousin?" ”

"It's the Qionglin Society, and it is said that I want to be on the list of today's subjects and participate in the Qionglin banquet!" Yuxia smiled.

Qingqiu hurriedly explained: "The master said that if the girl heard it, she would definitely feel vulgar, but fortunately, there is elegance in the vulgarity, so he picked these pairs and let the girl take a look!" ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and then she looked at these couplets and found that there were a lot of interesting ones, and she felt that she could change a few words.

When I saw the last pair, I asked, "Why is there only a pair of Shanglian?" ”

"The last pair is when I came, and the master added it!" Qingqiu replied, "The master said that this Shanglian is for the girl." ”

Lin Daiyu looked at Shanglian and wrote: Haoyue depicts a double shadow goose.

Instantly, my cheeks flushed, and I didn't know how to respond.

She was busy covering up and asked the two about Lu Jing's daytime pairing, and then sent the two away.

Lin Daiyu repeatedly recited the sentence "Haoyue depicts the double shadow geese", thought for a long time, and finally endured the shame, and mustered up the courage to write after this couplet: The frost reflects and the head plum, in response.

Then he thought about it, wrote another uplink, and handed it to Zijuan with a little nervousness in his shyness: "I gave my cousin a link, you go to the Lu Mansion and hand this over to your cousin in person, don't let people find out!" ”

Zijuan looked at Daiyu's expression, and had already guessed a rough idea, knowing the importance of the matter, if this thing fell into the hands of others, it would have an impact on the girl's reputation, so she hurriedly put this piece of paper close to her body, and rushed all the way to Lu's mansion, saying that she had something to report to Uncle Lu in person, and Youxia led Zijuan to Lu Jing's study.

It was the first time for Zijuan to talk to Lu Jing, and at the same time thinking about Daiyu, her expression was a little nervous: "The slave has something to report to Uncle Lu alone!" ”

Lu Jing thought that it might be Daiyu's reply to him, so he asked Qingqiu and Youxia to retreat, he had a good impression of Zijuan, and he investigated the situation in Zijuan's house very clearly, seeing that Zijuan was a little nervous, he smiled gently: "You are Zijuan?" ”

"The slave is the purple juan!" Zijuan replied with some uneasiness.

Lu Jing nodded and said, "Thank you for speaking of which!" ”

"Uncle Xie Zijuan, what?" Zijuan was puzzled, and her nervousness was relieved.

Lu Jing smiled: "Naturally, thank you for taking care of Sister Lin in Jiafu a few years ago!" ”

Zijuan hurriedly said: "It's all Zijuan's duty, I don't deserve to thank the uncle, the girl is also very good to Zijuan, Zijuan is grateful to the girl." ”

"Hehe, no matter what, I still want to thank you here, I heard that your brother is studying, it just so happened that I got a duan inkstone and a lake pen a few days ago, and I haven't used it yet, so I gave it to you, which is a reward for taking care of your cousin!" As he spoke, Lu Jing got up and took a box from the bookshelf and handed it to Zijuan.

"Purple Juan Xie Lu uncle!" Zijuan said gratefully, although she didn't know why Uncle Lu knew that her brother was studying, but the gift given by Lu Jing was very much in line with her heart.

When her mother came to visit her in the Lin Mansion a few days ago, she said that her brother was very fond of Duan Yan and Hu Pen, but unfortunately their family could not afford to buy them, and if they gave them to her brother, his brother would be very happy.

Zijuan then carefully took out a piece of paper from her bosom and said, "This is what our girl gave to the uncle!" ”

After Lu Jing took it, he smiled and said, "You sit down for a while!" ”
