Chapter 091: Departure
Since there was no need to pretend to be sick, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Ning still went to Sanwei Academy for a spin.
Although Sanwei Academy has just been established for a short time, and the students are all poor children, the Mid-Autumn Festival, an important day to unite the friendship and sense of belonging of teachers and students, still imitates other colleges to run a business.
For example, lanterns for the Mid-Autumn Festival were hung in the college, and several couplets and poems related to the Mid-Autumn Festival were posted.
Ji Ning was sitting on a large wooden chair in neat Confucian clothes, and the four gentlemen recruited from the Qin Mansion sat neatly on the left and right sides (as for Miss Mi, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had not successfully resigned.) Then the students took turns in groups of five to salute and congratulate them on their happiness and health during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After the salute, a riddle reading activity was held.
The riddles are so simple that you can guess them with just your brain.
In addition, literacy is a gift.
Although the gifts provided by Ji Ning are not expensive, they are very valuable and attractive to poor students.
The atmosphere of the whole quiz literacy activity was very warm, and the students had a lot of fun.
Until the end of noon, the entire Mid-Autumn Festival activity ended, and the students happily saluted Ji Ning and the others to say goodbye and left, Ji Ning also closed the door of Sanwei Academy, and then took a carriage back to Ji's house.
In the evening, due to the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in the Chongwang Mansion in the evening, the Mid-Autumn Festival was held in advance.
In the ancestral hall, incense is around, and there are good tea, wine, moon cakes and fruits on the table.
Ji Ning symbolically washed his hands in the copper basin sent by Yu Ling, and then took the incense prepared by He An, and worshiped the spiritual seat of Ji Ling and his wife.
When Ji Ning held incense and prayed silently to the spiritual seat of his parents, He An, who was kneeling behind, read a word, basically meaning to ask Ji Ling and his wife to explain why they worshiped in advance.
However, when mentioning Ji Ning's participation in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Chongwangfu, He An's voice improved a lot: "...... Old lady, now the young master is no longer looked down upon. The Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club in Chongwangfu sent a total of 200 invitations, all of which were recognized young talents in Jinling City. The young master is on the list. Moreover, the Chongwang Mansion also specially sent the chief housekeeper to personally send invitations to the young master...... It's a great ......."
Regarding participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Chongwangfu, He An has a different attitude. He didn't think that the dignified Chongwang Mansion had ulterior motives, and there was really no reason for it to be unreasonable.
At the end, He An prayed and said: "Old lady, the young master will go to the Chongwang Mansion to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting later, you are in the spirit of the sky, you must bless the young master to shine in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in the Chongwang Mansion tonight, so that those who spread rumors and slander the young master have no place to be ashamed......"
Ji Ning listened to He An's chatter, both moved and embarrassed.
Shine at the Mid-Autumn Festival? This is just the opposite of what he thinks.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, ashamed of He An.
At this time, he heard Yu Ling pleading sincerely: "Old lady, you must bless the young master, and bless the young master to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in the Chongwang Mansion in peace and security, and not to be bullied and troubled......
His heart couldn't help but be moved. He knew that Yu Ling wanted him to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club before, and expected him to compose poems at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club, counter all the rumors that slandered him in Jinling City, and justify his own name.
And when she learned that he was going to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, she turned to hope that he would be safe.
After the sacrifice, after dinner, take a short rest, and then set off to Chongwangfu to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting.
……
……
As night falls, the lights come on.
Outside the Chongwang Mansion, the traffic is full of water and horses, and the door is like a city. In the Chongwang Mansion, the lights are bright, full of festive Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns, and countless slaves and maids are busy running, making final preparations for this grand Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting that the entire Jinling City is watching.
Unlike the entire Chongwang Mansion, which was busy with greenery, the inner courtyard was much quieter.
Princess Wenren Zhao Yuanrong finished dressing up under the orderly service of the three palace maids, and a beautiful image of the country and the city was reflected in the huge bronze mirror.
Jinling City rumored that she chose a horse at tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, and she knew it.
However, she didn't care, let alone clarify.
If someone really got into her eyes, she wouldn't mind it being true. It's just that there is no man in the world who can really make her tempted.
However, at the moment, she is more interested in the scholar named Ji Ning. I look forward to meeting the scholar and examining him to see if he is the talent she desires.
In the same inner courtyard of King Chong's Mansion, in another courtyard, Zhao Yuanxuan was also dressed up under the service of the maid.
A maid walked in and reported: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, the spy has reported that Ji Ning has already left for the Chongwang Mansion." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Yuanxuan's reaction was usually slightly nodded, "Stand down." ”
After the maid exited the room, Zhao Yuanxuan couldn't help but muttered to himself proudly: "The invitation of the Chongwang Mansion, forgive me for not daring to refuse!" Hmph, you'd better not cheat the world and steal your name, otherwise you'll end up miserable tonight! ”
With some pride, she stood up and set off to find Zhao Yuanrong.
In Su Mansion, a carriage driven by two horses slowly drove out of the gate of Su Mansion under the drive of the coachman.
Behind the carriage, there was also a carriage.
However, the carriage was not from Sufu, and the carriage was marked with the word "Li".
After the carriage left the gate of the Su Mansion, it drove straight towards the Chongwang Mansion.
"Sister Pujia, do you think Princess Wenren really intends to choose a horse at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting?" Driving in the carriage of Sufu in front, Li Xiuer asked Su Pujia with some curiosity.
Because Princess Wenren participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in Chongwang's Mansion, the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting also invited some famous women from Jinling City to accompany her.
Whether it is Su Pujia or Li Xiuer, they are both famous nobles in Jinling City, and they are the key objects of invitation from Chongwangfu.
Su Pujia groaned slightly and said, "It's just the imagination of those scholars." ”
After a pause, she continued: "Princess Wenren is deeply favored by the current saint and the queen, she is over twenty-nine years old, if she intends to marry, the husband of the world is at her choice, she already has a horse, why go to Jinling City alone to pick a horse?" ”
"Over the years, in addition to being deeply favored, Princess Wenren has been unwilling to hide in the palace, constantly meddling in the affairs of the country, not only earning a good name, but also holding more and more power in her hands, even the crown prince has been covered by her light."
"Sister Pujia, what do you mean......" Li Xiu'er said hesitantly, "Princess Wenren pursues power and won't marry easily?" ”
"Not bad. Once the princess is married, she must leave the palace and hand over all power. Princess Wenren is obsessed with the power in her hands, how can she marry easily? Su Pujia said conclusively, "This matter must not be said." ”
Li Xiu'er nodded and said, "Xiu'er knows the severity. ”
After a moment of silence, Li Xiu'er finally couldn't help but say a little proudly: "Sister Pujia, have you heard?" Ji Yongning also participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting. I heard that in order to invite Ji Ning to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, Chongwangfu specially sent a big housekeeper to personally deliver invitations. Unexpectedly, Ji Yongning's reputation was already so high. ”
Su Pujia smiled faintly and said, "I heard about it too." However, the truth may not be what you think. I'm afraid that Ji Yongning himself may not be willing to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Chongwangfu. ”
"He is reluctant to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in Chongwangfu, whether he is low-key or weak-minded, I am afraid only he knows it." Su Pujia said again.
Li Xiu'er immediately subconsciously defended Ji Ning and said: "He must be low-key, he doesn't like publicity!" ”
