Chapter 29: Sweet and Sweet
Not to mention the identity of Zheng Qingzhi's emperor, just his title of Duke of Shenguo was already a few powerful people in the Great Song Dynasty, and Jia Rudao was just a six-rank Tian Ling before he was a Zhongjin Shi, although he was from the sixth grade, but his Tian Ling was not even an official, at most he could only be a small official.
Zheng Qingzhi took the initiative to reach out and hold Jia Yidao, if it is obviously not enough to describe it with the word courtesy.
When the scholars in the Peach Blossom Garden saw Zheng Qingzhi treating Jia Yidao like this, their eyes were all surprised and inexplicable, and then they all showed admiration. However, by this time, they had long since lost the suspicion and hostility they had shown at the beginning.
In all fairness, including the champion Zhou Tan, none of the scholars were sure that they could make poems according to the topic in less than a few breaths like Jia Yidao, let alone such amazing poems. As for the title of the last four-object poem, they didn't even dare to think about it.
I can't see other aspects yet, but although they haven't said it in their mouths, they have already understood in their hearts that at least in terms of poetry, the gap between Jia Rudao and them is already a cloud of mud.
Therefore, the scholars who had been impressed in their hearts were already taken for granted by Zheng Qingzhi for Jia Yidao to be treated so courteously, but subconsciously.
Jia Yidao was held by a big man like Zheng Qingzhi, but he didn't feel anything in his heart, not even a small wave.
Is this a compensation for the previous inattentive behavior? He sneered inwardly.
There are more people who can compose poems and write lyrics, and there is no need to say that people like Li Bai are far away, let's just say that in the last hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Yong, Zhou Bangyan, Su Xun and others are all poets, but in addition to the poetry that has been passed down through the ages, how many of them can really achieve something in addition to poetry?
With Zheng Qingzhi's status, he naturally would not be so shallow that if he did a good job in poetry, he would definitely have a bright future, so he didn't have to use such a means to show his courtesy and appreciation for Jia Nidao. Then, the only thing that can be explained is that Zheng Qingzhi is actually making compensation or redemption for what he had done on the wall before.
Jia Nidao didn't guess wrong, Zheng Qingzhi was indeed compensating him by doing this, but in addition to compensation, it was more of a show of his courtesy corporal and his desire to win over Jia Nidao.
It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless.
If it weren't for Shi Xiang's sudden change, Jia Rudao might not have noticed anything, but Shi Xiang's change coupled with Zheng Qingzhi's deliberate co-optation now made him find that he unconsciously seemed to have become a sweetheart in the eyes of some bigwigs in the DPRK and China.
I don't know if Qiao Xingjian's post was sent to the house at this time?
Of course, in addition to his own ability, this fragrant dumpling is actually more because of Jia Guifei, who has a huge influence on Zhao Yun.
Although Jia Rudao didn't know the specific inside story, he also guessed eight or nine. But what he didn't know was that his cheap sister Jia Guifei had just reported the news of her pregnancy a few years ago.
Emperor Lizong of the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Yun has been on the throne for more than 14 years, except for six years ago, Jia Guifei gave birth to a daughter Ning Ying, who is the princess of Ruiguo, and has not had any heirs.
In Zhao Yun's harem, there are many concubines, in addition to Jia Guifei and Queen Xie, Yan Guifei is the most favored, but in addition to Jia Guifei's favored harem, none of the concubines, including Queen Xie and Yan Guifei, have ever conceived a dragon species, let alone give birth to an heir to Zhao Yun.
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, not to mention Zhao Yun, who is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Since the Southern Crossing of the Great Song Dynasty, the heirs have been extremely thin, and Emperor Ningzong also has no heirs; Until now, Zhao Yun has been on the throne for more than ten years and still has no heirs, which is extremely depressing news for the entire Great Song Dynasty.
The emperor has no heirs, once there is any accident, the already stormy Great Song Dynasty will be shaken, how can it not make the Great Song Dynasty and the opposition worried?
In such a situation, Jia Guifei is pregnant, which can be said to be the best news for the entire Great Song Dynasty. For the sake of safety, except for a few people in the government and the opposition, not many people in the government and the opposition knew about this exciting news at all.
Of course, today's Jia seems to be unaware of the fact that Jia Guifei is pregnant, which does not mean that others do not know.
People like Zheng Qingzhi naturally have his channels to get some hidden news. Not only Zheng Qingzhi, but most of the top ministers in the DPRK and China have actually obtained the news through various channels.
More accurate news is that it is said that Jia Guifei is very likely to be pregnant with a dragon species this time.
Dragon species, if it is really a dragon species, with Zhao Yun's function, I am afraid that it will be difficult to give birth to a son and a half daughter, then this dragon species is very likely to be the only male heir of the emperor.
As long as this child can be born, once Zhao Yun dies, then there is no doubt that he will be the ironclad heir to the throne.
In such a situation, Jia Guifei's status in the harem is infinitely higher, and even with Jia Yidao, the younger brother, has risen with the tide.
It doesn't matter if Jia seems to have talent or not, the important thing is that Jia Guifei's son is likely to be the emperor, and this rescue is enough. This is also the fundamental reason why in the Qionglin banquet last night, except for Yu Tianxi, who was directly put on the bar, none of the bigwigs in the court and the central government spoke out, and even the ministers of Empress Xie's family did not choose to help Yu Tianxi fall into the well at the beginning.
Although I want to, I know that this has no effect, so why bother to pull hatred in vain?
As long as Jia Guifei is still pregnant, what if Jia Rudao really commits the crime of bullying the king? What's more, there is no evidence to prove that Jia Yidao cheated, isn't it?
Jia Nidao, who probably understood something in his heart, naturally would not be so stupidly co-opted by Zheng Qingzhi and get involved in the struggle between the various bigwigs in the DPRK and China, acting as a pawn of these people.
Zheng ...... Master Zheng praised it, and the teacher ...... Shi Xian...... Panic. Just a teacher...... Shi Xian is really ...... today It's really not ...... Be...... The power of wine, another day, another day, will definitely be on the ...... Came to the door to ask Master Zheng for ...... Please, oh no, yes please...... Ask! ”
Jia Rudao, who was full of alcohol, was drunk, swaying left and right, stammering.
He wasn't all pretending, he was a little dizzy, and he drank a pot of wine. It's not very strong, but it's a lot of it. Coupled with the wine he spilled on his body from the previous drink, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of alcohol.
The words fell, and there was a dead silence in the Peach Blossom Garden.
Is this a rejection?
The surrounding scholars, including the three old men, all looked at Jia Yidao with an incredulous expression. Zheng Qingzhi had already taken it seriously in front of so many people, put down his body and held his arm to invite him, Jia Rudao listened to Lan Ting drinking and talking, how important should this be?
But in such a situation, Jia Yidao still rejected Zheng Qingzhi's invitation, was he really drunk or did he do it on purpose? No one knows what to do.
Zheng Qingzhi, who was holding Jia Nidao's arm on the other side, obviously didn't expect Jia Nidao to refuse him in such a situation, and stared at Jia Nidao silently for a long time with a slightly heavy face.
"Ha Luha, Shi Xian is not only talented, but even his temperament is so straightforward. Good! Good! Good! Today is the old man's abruptness. Zheng Qingzhi, who was half-groaning, looked at Jia Rudao and laughed.
Is Jia Yidao drunk or not, and how can the cunning Zheng Qingzhi not see it? It's just that today's matter is really that he himself was too wrong, and he was swayed by his previous impression of Jia Yidao, which caused such a situation, and Jia Yidao was resentful in his heart and didn't want to stay in this Seyuan Yuan more, but he should be.
Although he was lost face, Zheng Qingzhi is an old man in the court after all, so naturally he will not completely tear his face with Jia Yidao because of this matter, not to mention that he is not right first.
As he spoke, Zheng Qingzhi had already quietly let go of the arm holding Jia Nidao.
"Thank you for your understanding!" Jia Rudao bowed to Zheng Qingzhi in a cute manner, and then turned to look at Chen Pufang and the others on the other side, who were still waiting to meet friends with Wen, and continued: "Brother Pufang......
"Brother Jia's talent, Pu Fang is ashamed of himself, how about today's meeting? I'm waiting for the abruptness, and I'm here to make amends to Brother Shixian! Before Jia Nidao finished speaking, Chen Pufang had already hurriedly said to Jia Nidao deeply.
"Well said, well said! Today, Shi Xian is really not strong enough to drink, another day, another day and Brother Pu Fang will not get drunk! Chen Pufang said this, Jia Rudao naturally didn't want to make waves again, and smiled and hugged his fists in return.
"That being the case, Master Zheng, Master Yuan, Master Du, and Master Li, it seems that it is really rude today, so I will go home first, and I will personally come to the door to make amends to the division commanders another day!"
The matter is over, Jia Rudao doesn't want to stay in this Seyuan for a minute, not to mention that if this poetry club didn't happen to meet Shi Xiang, he wouldn't have planned to come.
"Shi Xian doesn't have to be polite, another day, the old man and others will invite Shi Xian to come over for a small gathering." Yuan Cheng and the three of them all laughed.
The three of them are just professors of Guozijian, although they are all famous Confucians, but they are also people who know the importance of Taoism. Just the Jia Guifei behind Jia Nidao made the three of them dare not really treat Jia Nidao as a little jinshi.
"Fang Shen, why don't you arrange a sedan chair to send Shi Xian back home?" Zheng Qingzhi glanced at Zheng Hong, whose expression was a little strange, and said displeasedly.
"Oh, Fang Shen is going to arrange the sedan chair, this is going to arrange the sedan chair." Sensing Zheng Qingzhi's displeasure, Zheng Hong hurriedly bowed down and responded.
A group of people looked at Jia Rudao Shi Ran with complicated eyes, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
From beginning to end, Jia Yidao never mentioned the matter of Wang Ke, Cheng Yuanqiu, and Qin Shou serving tea and admitting their mistakes and performing disciple ceremonies, as if they had completely forgotten about it.
This also made Qin Shou and the others, who had already lost face, secretly happy in their hearts.
……
Out of the gate of Se Yuan, Jia Rudao, who was not half-drunk at all, politely declined the sedan chair arranged by Zheng Hong, and still chose to leave on foot. Zheng Hong was already unhappy in his heart, and he didn't say anything, and after seeing Jia Yidao and Jia Quan'er's master and servant leave, he turned around and went back to the garden.
