Chapter 116: Poetry Club
"Shizhong, don't be polite, try this fish quickly, this morning the servants at home looked at the best anchovies fished out of the river, steamed in honey wine, and the taste was tender into the meat." Mrs. Xiao picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in Li Xinchen's bowl, "There are also these dishes, they are all ordinary and inexpensive to eat, and the taste is okay, you can try it." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Li Xinchen hurriedly agreed, "The younger generation can't afford to be so polite as a lady." ”
Mrs. Xiao smiled and waved her hand: "My Xiao family started from poverty, and there are few high-ranking officials and dignitaries who come to the door, and there are many friends in the same stream, so there is no such a lot of etiquette." And the virtuous nephew is both civil and military at a young age, listening to Ah Lian, this time Lu Liang's retreat, the virtuous nephew has made great contributions, and he naturally deserves it! ”
"My mother has already said so, Shizhong, you are welcome," Xiao Shilian waved his chopsticks, and at the same time looked sideways at Li Li'er, who was sitting next to Li Xinchen, who was more restrained, "Miss Li'er, you can also eat, although my chef is not as good as the chef in Qingxi Restaurant, it is reasonable." ”
Li Li'er's face was slightly red and she bowed her head slightly.
Mrs. Xiao suddenly pretended to be angry: "Shizhongxian nephew, Miss Li'er, you are guests from afar, if you are so polite, then you will not give face to the old body." ”
"Oh, ma'am!" Xiao Maha, who had been sitting on the first seat, gently tapped the dishes with his chopsticks, "Don't talk about the virtuous nephew, if anyone sees you so enthusiastic, they will definitely feel uncomfortable, just eat whatever you like!" ”
Mrs. Xiao glanced back at Xiao Maha, Xiao Mahe suddenly coughed lightly, subconsciously straightened her waist, and did not squint, as if the words just now did not come out of his mouth. And to see this scene.
Li Xinchen couldn't help but roll his eyes, and sighed secretly, daring to love General Xiao is also a strict wife.
Thinking about Xiao Shilian's timidity in front of Li Li'er, Li Xinchen could only sigh that Xiao Shilian was 100% born to Xiao Maha.
Seeming to realize that he was also a little embarrassed in front of a few juniors, Xiao Maha frowned slightly: "Let's eat." ”
Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything more at this time, nodded at Li Xinchen and Li Li'er with a smile, and did not continue to dismantle her husband's platform.
Xiao Shilian quickly buried his head in the rice bowl and pretended not to see anything, in fact, Li Xinchen could clearly see that this guy's shoulders were twitching slightly, obviously it was very difficult to hold back his laughter, no wonder Xiao Shilian Even if he was outside, his care and concern for Xiao Maha's father was more than fear and fear.
And at this time, Li Xinchen also understood that Xiao Maha's strict wife control is not really strict with his wife, but just a courtesy when his wife has a little temper, and Mrs. Xiao is obviously also a woman who understands the general situation, even in front of her own son, she will not deliberately attack and annoy, to damage Xiao Maha's face.
Perhaps this is what the ancients called "harmony of the piano".
"Shizhongxian's nephew, it's getting late today, rest early after eating, and let Boqing take you around this Jiankang Mansion tomorrow. Jiankang's scenery, since the Jin Dynasty Nandu, there are many people chanting poems, which have their own uniqueness, and the old body is not understood, but in any case, there is no harm in walking around and seeing. Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
Li Xinchen's heart warmed, which made him more or less think of his mother's chatter in another time and space, whether it was good or bad, more or less, it contained sincere concern after all. Especially in this chaotic world, such care is precious.
"This mother can rest assured, there will be a poetry meeting in Jiankang Mansion tomorrow, and the child will just take Shizhong Xian to see and see it." Xiao Shilian hurriedly said.
"If only you had a good idea." Mrs. Xiao nodded.
And Li Xinchen looked at Xiao Maha on the main seat and smiled bitterly, maybe this harmonious scene was also forced out by Comrade Xiao Maha by his own lady's nagging.

In the life of the nobles of the Southern Dynasties, the two most important components were Buddhism and poetry.
Needless to say, Buddhism naturally has 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain, and the south of the Yangtze River has been peaceful for many years, so that the emperors and people of the Southern Dynasty like to immerse themselves in the realm of forgetting the red dust and forgetting themselves, and no longer think about the frustration and oppression in reality.
In addition to Buddhism, another important component is naturally poetry and poetry. During the Southern Dynasties, the popular Dafu of the Han Dynasty was reduced by literati and ink writers, and the genre format of Yuefu poems began to be sought after, and gradually evolved into the famous palace style poems.
Although palace style poetry has been widely criticized and criticized for "beautiful sound" and "weakness" in later generations, no one can deny that it is precisely because of the emergence and inheritance of palace style poetry that it has laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry and successfully completed the transformation from fu to poetry.
Above the court of the Southern Dynasty, whether it is a monarch or a prince or a general, they will chant poems to some extent, so the court of the Southern Dynasty is also nicknamed "the court of poets". Let's not talk about anything else, just the current prince Chen Shubao, the song "Yushu Backyard Flower" is really "sung through the ages".
This kind of pursuit of poetry and songs, implemented in daily life, naturally becomes a poetry meeting. There are many scholars in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the celebrities pay attention to casualness and closeness to nature, so the venue of this poetry meeting is often chosen to be outside the city There are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.
Jiankang Mansion is located in the east of Stone City, with Jiang Mountain and Setshan Mountain in the northeast, Jilong Mountain in the north, Qinglong Mountain in the west, Tianyin Mountain, Lion Mountain and Yin Mountain in the southeast, and Jubao Mountain in the south. The mountains are far and near, surrounding the city, and the river flows under the stone mountain stone city not far away, and Qinhuai also flows into the river through Changganli, which can be described as a place where the mountains and rivers are good, and the dragon and the tiger are hidden.
Such a good place, of course, there are many good places for these nobles to choose.
Today, the poetry will be chosen in the bamboo forest under the stone mountain, the stone mountain is a mountain relatively close to Jiankang Mansion, although the mountain is not high, but because of its important position of guarding the river and the stone city that Sun Quan once built on the mountain, it is famous.
Xiao Shilian led the way in front, and the group walked through the royal street, through the Xuanyang Gate of the inner city, until the main gate of the Nanchen Palace - in front of the Da Sima Gate, and then turned to the west, and went out of the Ximing Gate to the foot of the stone mountain. Although this road is farther than the detour from the outer city, it is better to take the royal street, and the speed is very fast.
As a native of Jiankang Mansion, Xiao Shilian is of course familiar with Jiankang Mansion, which is not a big Jiankang Mansion.
The famous stone mountain soon came into view, of course, for Li Xinchen, the name "Qingliang Mountain" is more familiar. Compared with the outline of the city wall in later generations, the city symbolized by the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period is still majestically entrenched on the stone mountain, and the red flags of Nanchen are fluttering, indicating that there are still garrison troops here.
