It's just a few seconds of waiting, and in Yan Zixi's opinion, it seems as if she has spent a spring and autumn.

Xia Guiren thought for a while, and finally shook his head, and replied in his mouth.

"I've never heard of it! Since the founding of the Great Xiao Dynasty, no one has ever given the title of Shixian to the name of Shixian, and as for Li Bai at your time, it is even more unheard of......"

"Great!"

When Yan Zixi heard the news, she almost jumped up.

There was salvation, there was salvation, this time there was salvation!

Seeing Yan Zixi's strange expression and moodiness, Xia Guiren couldn't help frowning and asking, "Zixi, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, Niangniang, have you heard of the poem Saint Du Fu?"

"No ......"

"What about the poetry demon Bai Juyi?"

Xia Guiren still shook his head and looked at Yan Zixi, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Zixi, who are these people you are talking about? Is it a famous poet? Why haven't I heard of any of them? ”

Xia Guiren asked herself, she is also full of poetry and books, why has she never even heard of these names that Yan Zixi said?

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just some gentlemen from my hometown...... You haven't heard of it, and it's not surprising! ”

Yan Zixi hurriedly opened her mouth and hid the past.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi...... I love you guys to death!

Now Yan Zixi regrets it in her heart, why didn't she memorize a few more poems when she was studying, if she wrote "A Fang Gong Fu" on the spot tomorrow, it is estimated that she would be able to shock the jaws of those girls!

Xia Guiren saw Yan Zixi snickering there alone, and felt more and more strange in his heart.

"Zixi, don't you really matter? Do you want to get a doctor? ”

Yan Zixi reacted when she heard Xia Guiren's words.

She hurriedly waved her hand and thanked Xia Guiren for her kindness, "Niangniang, I'm fine, you forgot, I'm a doctor myself." I was a little distracted just now, by the way, mother, please tell me more about it! ”

"You...... What more do you want to know? ”

"Well, just tell me, what are the famous poets in our Daxiao Dynasty, I want to bow down to their masterpieces, and I can temporarily hug the Buddha's feet!"

Xia Guiren smiled when he heard this, and then beckoned to Yan Zixi, "Zixi, you come with me, I'll take you to the study to have a look, there are many famous poetry collections that I collect and worship on weekdays." ”

Yan Zixi answered, and then followed Xia Guiren to her study together.

It is different from the study of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Xia Guiren's study is obviously much smaller, and the books placed on the golden silk nanmu bookshelf are not so complicated, most of them are some poetry volumes.

It seems that women in ancient times paid attention to three and four virtues, which can be seen from the books they read.

In general, they will never be allowed to come into contact with books other than literature.

Most of them are just prose miscellaneous, poems, and etiquette.

Yan Zixi was not surprised by this.

Xia Guiren took out a book of her usual poems from the bookshelf, turned around and walked in front of Yan Zixi, and handed it to her.

"Zixi, this poetry collection not only collects the masterpieces of our Daxiao Dynasty, but also includes some famous works of the Northern Liang Kingdom, if you can read it well and keep it in mind, you will be able to easily cope with tomorrow's poetry meeting!"

"Wait, Northern Liang Kingdom?" Yan Zixi frowned, isn't this Northern Liang Kingdom in a hostile relationship with Da Xiao, why was the poetry of the enemy country included in the poetry collection by Xia Guiren?

Xia Guiren seemed to see the doubts in Yan Zixi's heart, and replied with a smile in his mouth: "Zixi, don't be surprised, although our Da Xiao and Beiliang are enemies, this does not hinder literary exchanges. ”

"Well, this Zixi understands that literature has no borders!" Yan Zixi responded.

"Yes." Xia Guiren nodded, and then continued: "Actually, don't look at Beiliang as a small country in the north, and its national strength is far inferior to our Daxiao, but the real literary masters in the world are all from Beiliang Kingdom. ”

"Is that so?"

When Yan Zixi heard this, she asked in surprise.

Generally speaking, the stronger a country's comprehensive strength, the stronger its cultural power, and the more significant its cultural penetration into neighboring countries.

The most obvious example is that the Tang Dynasty of China had a profound influence on the Kingdom of Heguo and Goguryeo, and even the written text was passed down together.

So when Yan Zixi heard from Xia Gui's mouth that everyone in literature at that time was in Beiliang, it really made her a little puzzled.

Xia Guiren continued to explain unhurriedly: "There is nothing strange about it. Although Beiliang is a small country and a weak country, they have a relatively free national style, and literati can even criticize the imperial court......

"I see!" Yan Zixi nodded suddenly in realization, indeed, what Xia Guiren said was impossible to see in the Great Xiao Dynasty.

The Great Xiao Dynasty had a huge land area, strong national strength, centralized power, and military respect, as long as this could stabilize the stability of the regime. 12

"But you can see it, don't circulate it everywhere, after all, the Northern Liang Kingdom has always been a bad relationship with our dynasty, although it is not explicitly prohibited, but don't be too public." Xia Guiren thought about it for a while, and kindly reminded him on the side.

Yan Zixi hurriedly thanked her, "Niangniang, don't worry, I won't pass this poetry collection to others, and when the poetry meeting passes, I will return it to Niangniang!" ”

"Oh, that's not necessary. This collection of poems should be regarded as a gift from me to you, you can take it back and study it carefully, and you don't have to return it. ”

"In this way, then Zixi will thank Niangniang first!"

Yan Zixi thanked her again, put the poetry collection into her sleeve pocket, and then thought of something, so she asked.

"By the way, Niangniang, will you also be there tomorrow at the Jingwangfu Poetry Meeting?"

"Well, Concubine Shu sent an invitation, if I don't go, I'm afraid I'll provoke her to blame." Xia Guiren frowned, and a trace of sorrow appeared on his face.

"Lady Lady? Could it be the mother concubine of His Royal Highness the Third Prince? ”

Yan Zixi has also heard of this concubine, and I heard that she is the first talented woman in the palace, and the emperor specially sealed the word "Shu", which is enough to show the affirmation of her talent.

"Yes, so I'll go tomorrow too. Zixi, you don't have to worry too much, tomorrow at the poetry meeting, you can play normally, and I will try my best to help you speak. ”

When Yan Zixi heard this, she thanked her again, "Niangniang, I really want to thank you, with your words, Zixi's heart is much more down-to-earth." ”

"You don't have to thank me, you saved my life, I didn't thank you!"

"Hey, mother, it's all as it should be. Then Zixi won't bother, so I'll go back to reading the poetry book and prepare for tomorrow's poetry meeting. ”

Xia Guiren nodded, "Well, okay, in that case, I won't keep you anymore, if you have any questions, just send someone over." ”

"Okay, Niangniang, that Zixi has retired!"

Yan Zixi bowed respectfully, and then exited the study.

Under the leadership of the maid, he went out of the house.

After leaving the Four Princes' Mansion, Yan Zixi looked around the neighborhood and saw Xiao Wuzi dozing off in a tea shop.

Yan Zixi walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Little Wuzi, it's done, let's go back!"

Xiao Wuzi was taken aback by such a shot, "Who, who?" ”

Seeing that it was Yan Zixi coming, he immediately said with a smile: "Yo, master, have you come back after running errands?" ”

"Well, let's go, little fifth son, send me back to the General's Mansion."

"Okay, master, please get in the car."

Xiao Wuzi respectfully welcomed Yan Zixi out of the store, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by the store.

"Hey, guest officer, you haven't paid yet?"

Yan Zixi stopped when she heard the sound, turned around, and glared at Xiao Wuzi.

Xiao Wuzi scratched his head, his face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he said with an embarrassed smile: "Master, the little one has been a little tight lately, look at this tea money......"

"Are you short on money? Come on, I remember that Murong Qianqian's retainer didn't give you less silver last time, right? Running out so quickly? ”

"Master, you know that. It's not easy to get a small one! ”

Yan Zixi pursed her lips, seeing that the owner of the tea shop had already chased after her, she didn't bother to waste her lips and tongues, and Xiao Wuzi had worked hard to run, and he couldn't let his family run away in vain.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi took out a silver ingot and handed it to Xiao Wuzi.

Xiao Wuzi's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Yinzi, and after taking it, he paid the boss and put the rest in his pocket, and then proudly helped Yan Zixi into the carriage.

After getting on the car, Yan Zixi sat inside and closed her eyes to recuperate, and when she didn't walk long, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Yan Zixi's heart immediately rose with a hint of ominous premonition.

She quickly picked up her fingers, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked outside.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I see it, I'm stunned there.

I don't know when, the carriage has been targeted by the black-clothed killers, and at this moment, the black-clothed killers surrounded the carriage, and Xiao Wuzi has also become a hostage in the hands of those killers.

"Damn! Is it yesterday's batch? ”

Yan Zixi scolded secretly in her heart, and just when she didn't know what to do, the voices of those black-clothed killers had already sounded outside.

"Miss Yan...... Oh no, I should call you Princess Xiao by now, Princess Xiao, please get out of the carriage! ”

"You ...... Who the hell are you? Are they in the same league as the Assassins outside the city yesterday? ”

Yan Zixi lifted the curtain, sat in front of the car and glared at the group of black-clothed killers, and asked in her mouth.

"Princess Xiao, this is not something you should know, please come with us!"

"With you?! Where to? Yan Zixi felt a little strange in her heart, yesterday those killers outside the city couldn't help but say that they were going to take her and Xiao Jingcong's lives, but today these killers did not rush to kill her, but let themselves go with them.

Aren't they all in the same boat?
