Chapter 100: Private Meeting
Being squeezed by Ji Ning's original words in public, and even ridiculed by everyone, Qin Feng and Wu Bei lost face like never before, and they were extremely humiliated.
Fortunately, at this time, King Chong saw that Ji Ning and Qin Wu were almost in a confrontation, and said: "Haha, Ji Ning, Ye Lao has said that your poem has written the Mid-Autumn Festival poem." The rest of the poems don't have to be presented. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." The talented man who had not yet presented the poem immediately stood up and saluted and thanked King Chong.
King Chong smiled and said, "Sit down." ”
After all the talents sat down, King Chong's eyes were fixed on Ji Ning and said: "I didn't expect that tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival poems would have a huge harvest, not only a song that can last for centuries, but also a good poem "Water Tune Song Head" that will write the Mid-Autumn Festival poems. The entire Chongwang Mansion has glory and glory. Reward! ”
"Give Ji Ning five hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, five hundred pieces of silk, and a set of four treasures of the study!"
"Give Qin Yuanyuan one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, three hundred pieces of silk, and a set of four treasures of the study!"
When everyone heard this, they all swallowed their saliva wildly, and they were envious, the reward of King Chong was really staggering, and the reward for Ji Ning alone was not less than 10,000 taels of silver.
King Chong continued: "The talents of other talented people and talented women have also been seen by this king, and they are worthy of the name of talented people and talented women in Jinling City, and they are all rewarded!" ”
"Thank you for the reward." Almost all the talented people and famous ladies stood up and saluted and thanked them.
However, King Chong and the others saw that there was a talented man who did not salute and thank him, and that person was Ji Ning.
"Ji Yongning, why don't you thank you?" King Chong was in a good mood, and asked jokingly with a pleasant face, "Could it be that the king's reward is too shabby?" Hehe, that's right, why is your song "Water Tune Song Head" worth more than 10,000 gold? Hahaha......"
Ji Ning arched his hand and said, "Back to the prince, the student doesn't dare." The students were ashamed and did not dare to accept the reward. The poem was not written by the student, but dreamed of in a dream. ”
"Haha, that's what you did!" King Chong said, "It is not uncommon to compose poems in dreams. Although it is divine, it is also the result of your talent, how is it not your poetry? ”
"The prince is right." Ye Lao next to him said, "The ancient masterpiece "Wangyan Mountain" handed down by the great poet Li Yang of the previous dynasty was made by him in his dream. ”
King Chong laughed and said, "Ye Lao is right, this reward should be yours, don't shirk, otherwise this king will be angry." ”
"Thank you for the reward." Ji Ning had no choice but to bow and thank him.
King Chong bowed his head in satisfaction.
After Ji Ning sat down, Zhao Yuanrong, who was sitting behind the golden phoenix screen, spoke.
is also a reward for Ji Ning and Qin Yuanyuan.
Although Zhao Yuanrong's reward was not as good as that of King Chong, it was also very rich, which made everyone envious of Ji Ning and Qin Yuanyuan.
Of course, Zhao Yuanrong also gave other rewards to the other talents and famous ladies who participated.
Although there will be no new poems in the future, and the rewards of King Chong and Princess Wenren have also come down, the time for the Mid-Autumn Festival poems will be half the expected time.
Such a grand Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting cannot end early.
Therefore, the next thing is to appreciate Ji Ning's "Water Tune Song Head: When Will the Bright Moon Exist", and then other activities.
Moreover, just appreciating the lyrics of "When Will the Bright Moon Be There in Water Tune Song Head" is enough for all the talented people and famous ladies to show their talents in front of King Chong and Princess Wenren.
Everyone used their talents to appreciate and analyze "When is the Bright Moon in Water Tune", but Ji Ning, the main master, seemed to have nothing to do.
He ate some more melon, fruit, tea and wine, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he quietly left the table to relieve himself.
Ji Ning finished untying his hand, and the whole person was comfortable, and he returned the same way.
Suddenly, he saw a slender and graceful figure walking towards him. The shadow was faintly familiar, but at night, although there was candlelight and moonlight, I couldn't be sure who the other party was.
After taking two more steps, Ji Ning finally saw the other party's beautiful jade face clearly, and couldn't help but smile.
"Ji has seen Miss Su." Ji Ning greeted with a gesture.
Li Xiu'er blushed slightly and returned the salute elegantly: "Hello Gongzi Ji." ”
"Hehe, when Ji heard the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Chongwang's Mansion, he guessed that Miss Su might participate, but I didn't expect to meet you in Chongwang's Mansion." Ji Ning smiled, "Ji is really honored. ”
"Ji Gongzi is polite." Li Xiuer said.
Then, she looked a little from side to side, as if she was worried that someone would pass by.
Ji Ning came to his senses and invited "Su Pujia": "Miss Su, can you take the opportunity to speak?" ”
"Hmm." Li Xiu'er's voice was lowered, and she answered almost inaudibly.
At the same time, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.
It was a private meeting, and it was in the evening.
Ji Ning saw that "Su Pujia" agreed, and suddenly felt an irrepressible surprise in his heart.
"Miss Su, please." Ji Ning made a gesture of please to the rockery on the side of the road.
Li Xiu'er still lowered her head and walked towards the rockery. Ji Ning followed.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting is held in the garden, the garden of Chongwangfu is very large, and the venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting is just one of the open corners of Chongwangfu Garden.
Although the place where Ji Ning and Li Xiuer met was not far from the venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, the Chongwangfu Garden was a Suzhou forest garden, paying attention to the mutual reflection of flowers and trees, rockery ponds, pavilions and pavilions, and the layers of near and far views were distinct. It's easy to hide people even in broad daylight, let alone at night.
Li Xiu'er walked in front, braiding her bright teeth biting her delicate lower lip slightly, trying to overcome her shame. I thought in my heart that if he accepted the invitation to the rockery so easily and hid to talk, would he notice that she was deliberately creating this "chance encounter".
Thinking that I was so impulsive to say a few words to him face-to-face, not only did my pretty face get hot for a while, but even the tips of my ears were hot.
Ji Ning followed behind, admiring Li Xiu'er's slender and graceful back, couldn't he be calm and full of expectations in his heart?
After the scholars of Jinling City jointly wrote a petition, he and "Su Pujia" still maintained correspondence.
In the correspondence, the two talked happily in the letters, which made Ji Ning faintly feel that he was in love with letters.
Now, at last, it is possible to talk alone in such close proximity, and in such a private place at night.
How could he not be excited about anticipation?
Walking behind the rockery, Li Xiu'er stopped, overcame the shame in her heart, and turned back to face Ji Ning.
Ji Ning stopped in time and stopped three feet away from Li Xiu'er.
"Ji Gongzi," Li Xiu'er took the initiative to say first, "Congratulations to you, concubine, for making the song "When will the bright moon be there". ”
"Hehe, thank you, Miss Su." Ji Ning thanked him slightly, and then said modestly, "Ji is ashamed!" This word can't be considered to be made by Ji, it's just a dream. However, Miss Su, your "Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon" is a real talent and a lot of accumulation. ”
"In the cloudless world, we will see the toad in the sea. Until the end of the day, I never took a private photo of a person's house. ”
"Such a good poem of grandeur and pride, Ji sincerely admires it." Ji Ning said, bowing slightly.
The two said a few words, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Just as he was about to talk further, he suddenly heard movement in front of him, and hurriedly stopped talking, turned to stare around, and listened to the movement with all his might.
I thought it was just someone passing by, but I didn't expect to see a man and a woman walking in their direction the next moment.
"Ahh Li Xiu'er was suddenly frightened and covered her mouth with her tender white little hands, and her pretty face turned pale.
Once she took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in Chongwang's Mansion and Ji Ning's secret private meeting to be spread, her reputation as the daughter of the prefect of Jinling City was completely ruined.
