In fact, the place where the mother and son lived was not far from the upper county town, but three or four miles away, Chu Tianyao followed behind his mother and came to the upper county town in a hurry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I saw the blue brick paving road in Shangjun Town, people coming and going on the street, and there were carriages and official sedan chairs passing by from time to time. The houses on both sides of the street are of different heights, all of which are wooden structures and are covered with stone tiles. The cries of all kinds of vendors in the road are endless, and people shuttle through all kinds of shops, with different expressions.

On weekdays, Zou Yuniang disciplined her son very strictly, and never let Chu Tianyao stay too far away from home, so naturally he had never seen such a bustling downtown scene, and now just like the wild child entering the city, everything was full of surprise. Chu Tianyao's expression was exaggerated, looking left and right, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he was very happy.

"Mother, look, what is that?"

"Mother, mother, mother! Why do you see that person is dressed so strangely? ”

"Mother's ......"

Many passers-by saw that this young man was lonely and unheard, and they were very curious, and they all looked sideways with contempt. Zou Yuniang only felt distressed for a while, although she can stay away from the hustle and bustle and don't have to bend to meet her, but she suffers her son!

Thinking that Zou Yuniang was famous all over the world, countless nobles and sons in order to please her, strange things from all over the world were used to flatter, and all kinds of folk wonders were used as jokes, which she had long been accustomed to. It's just that his son is still young and ignorant, how has he ever seen such a scene? So he said comfortingly: "When Yao'er is successful and goes to the imperial capital Luojing, you will know what prosperity is!" ”

"Luo Jing!" Chu Tianyao longed for it in his heart, but he could never imagine the scene there, so he asked suspiciously: "Hasn't my mother been to Luojing?" ”

Zou Yuniang realized that she had missed her mouth, so she just smiled and said nothing, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "Look at those sons in the street, all of them are personable and well-behaved, you little gentleman is frizzy, you can learn more!" ”

As soon as Chu Tianyao heard what the gentleman said, his expression became serious again, he held back his curiosity, followed behind Zou Yuniang, held his little hands behind his back, strutted his head, and never looked at the scene in the street again.

After a while, the two of them came to the mansion of Shangjun Taishou Ning Yuanshan. I saw that at the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there was a black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging, and two big characters 'Ningfu' were inscribed on it. There was a doorkeeper standing at the door, although he was dressed as a servant, he was also a member of a wealthy mansion, and he actually stood upright, quite temperamental, which also shows the strictness of discipline in Dingfu.

The family knew Zou Yuniang, and spoke very politely, "Mrs. Zou, I'm here to send embroidery again!" Who is this teenager? ”

"Brother Acai worked hard! This is my son Chu Tianyao! Zou Yuniang also greeted her with a smile, turned around and shouted: "Yao'er, don't come forward and say hello to Uncle Acai!" ”

"Hello Uncle Acai!" Chu Tianyao stepped forward in response and bowed slightly.

"Yo! This kid is quite polite! ”

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Ah Cai did not stop it. After a simple greeting, she asked Zou Yuniang to go to the backyard to hand over the work.

After entering the courtyard, Zou Yuniang repeatedly told her son to follow her closely and not to walk around. Chu Tianyao was also very obedient, and followed his mother unhurriedly, but his little eyes still couldn't help but glance around.

Naning Mansion is really luxurious, like a beautiful garden, covering a huge area, nine songs and eighteen secluded. There are many plants and trees in the courtyard, the pavilions are scattered, the rockery is lined with strange stones, and there is even a slowly flowing stream from the courtyard. Crossing the small bridge, along the way, the maids and maids of the Fuding Ding, or cutting flowers and trees, or hurrying, the two passed through several porch doors, but still did not come to the backyard.

Chu Tianyao was very surprised when he first came to such a magnificent mansion. I saw that in the corridor pavilion in front of me, there were two people around a stone table, repeatedly discussing a broken stone tablet on the table. Suddenly, the bearded middle-aged man pointed at the Ding Yi, and then paced back and forth, seemingly a little worried.

This bearded middle-aged man is Mo Hui, the housekeeper of the Ding Mansion. Earlier, during the Lantern Festival, Ning Yuanshan got a broken stone tablet from nowhere, and there was a poem of the ancients engraved on the stone tablet. Ding Yuanshan is the best poetry and song on weekdays, and he can't appreciate the artistic conception of the ancients, and he is very sorry in his heart, so he wants this Mo housekeeper to find ways to complete this poem. Steward Mo traced two of the lines, seeking the law everywhere, and the text obtained was not in line with Ning Yuanshan's mind, which made Steward Mo sad, and he had to take someone to vent when he was angry.

When passing by the two of them, Zou Yuniang stopped, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "I've seen Steward Mo!" ”

Steward Mo didn't have the leisure to pay attention to other things, just casually "um" a few times, and then began to recite the poem again.

Chu Tianyao trotted two steps, tugged Zou Yuniang's sleeve, and said confidently: "Mother! Look at the two people who are worried, those two lines of poetry are so simple, Yao'er can match them! ”

"Be quiet, don't talk nonsense!" Zou Yuniang immediately reprimanded Chu Tianyao, and looked back at the two cautiously.

Chu Tianyao looked a little aggrieved and muttered, "Yao'er didn't talk nonsense......"

"Little doll, what did you just say?"

Steward Mo heard some words and stopped the two of them sharply. Zou Yuniang knew that some dignitaries and nobles had extremely strict government rules, and she was extremely cautious every time she came to Ning Mansion, for fear that she would accidentally lose this job, so she apologized repeatedly to Steward Na Mo at the moment.

Steward Mo recognized Zou Yuniang at this time, his face was much gentler, and he said slowly: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zou!" A few days ago, the lanterns you made, the old lady liked them very much, and asked about them personally! ”

Seeing that Steward Mo suddenly changed the topic, Zou Yuniang was even more apprehensive, and said in a panic: "Steward Mo, the child is not sensible, please forgive me!" ”

In fact, Steward Mo didn't blame Chu Tianyao, but when he heard that this little doll was so confident, he immediately became interested. Seeing Zou Yuniang's repeated apologies, he was a little overset, so he said with a smile: "Mrs. Zou, don't misunderstand!" The old man begged the people in the city for this stone tablet, but he still couldn't understand it, just now Ling Lang said chiseled, the old man wanted to hear it! ”

"Children are talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!" Zou Yuniang was also afraid that her son would be embarrassed, so she stopped her.

"Hey! Anyway! ”

Steward Mo looked at Chu Tianyao's sworn appearance, and suddenly had some expectations in his heart, but he remembered that this was a little hairy child in his teens, how could he have any high opinions! He sighed in his heart, that's it! The right to be a dead horse is a live horse doctor!

"I've seen Steward Mo!" Chu Tianyao was not in a hurry to make up the poem, first stepped forward to make a move, and then cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "This stele left a poem, 'There is a moon without a lamp is not spring, and people in the world are like jade when spring comes', which is obviously a seven-word quatrain, but it has the taste of couplets. The words in a single sentence are interlocking, and they are evenly coordinated, but if they are united, they are not elegant. The kid thought that these two sentences were the middle two sentences, so one sentence was missing before and after! ”

"Oh? Can you say that right? "Steward Mo listened to Chu Tianyao's analysis, and he didn't make it up. Could it be that this little doll can do it right! Suddenly, his heart was full of hope, and he was even more interested.

"What's so hard about that! This poem must be a wonderful description of the Lantern Festival, and listen to me! Chu Tianyao put his hands behind his back, turned his back to a few people and looked outside the pavilion, and said slowly with a little conceit:

"There are lights without the moon and there is no entertainment, and there is no spring without lights in the month.

When spring arrives, people in the world are like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the moon is like silver. ”

"There is a lamp but no moon...... Steward Mo muttered and repeated the completed poem, and the old face of the raised land grinned, jumped three feet, and ran to the outside of the pavilion with a "whoosh", but shouted in his mouth: "Yes, come out!" That's right! ”

Many maids and maids in the courtyard looked sideways when they heard the voice, and saw that Steward Mo, who was not smiling on weekdays, was like crazy, and immediately froze in place, forgetting the errand in hand for a while.

The three people in the pavilion also looked at each other, slightly embarrassed. After Zou Yuniang said a brief goodbye to the family, she took Chu Tianyao and continued to go to the backyard.
