Xiaohe carried a food box and followed closely behind Shen An, Mengfu, it was really magnificent, she had also seen the scale of Shen's mansion, but it was still not as good as this Mengfu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Meng Mansion is a big mansion given by the emperor today, and in the entire Jiang Dynasty, there are few people who can have such treatment, which shows that Meng Qingran's status, although it is a resignation, is also prestigious.

Most of the people who enter and leave this Meng Mansion have some fame in Lin'an City. Carrying the food box and explaining the intention, Shen An followed the others into the Meng Mansion.

In the Meng Mansion, it is extremely simple, and it seems that this Meng Qingran's temperament is still a little bland.

In the main hall, there are already a few talented people who are composing poems, and there is no such thing as a poetry club that does not start, in fact, it is a few literati who learn from each other and compete with each other, but most of the talents here are completely aimed at Meng Qingran, hoping to be appreciated by Meng Qingran, and since then their careers have risen all the way.

And the person with the food stood far away, opening the food box to attract others to taste, and occasionally one or two people who knew a little poetry would also attach a few words.

Shen An found a place, opened the food box, and quietly waited for a famous genius to come and taste it, as long as that genius praised it, it would attract more people, and it would attract Meng Qingran.

In the food box, there are pieces of cream cakes, and there are also some other flavors of cakes.

In the main hall, there was an old man sitting upright, holding food in his hand, nodding from time to time.

Next to the old man also sat a young man in Tsing Yi, who was His Royal Highness King Qi who sighed by the West Lake.

"There are constant wars in the north, and these talented people in the south of the Yangtze River don't seem to realize at all that I, the Jiang Dynasty, will be able to truly strengthen the country and make the people rich." The boy in Tsing Yi sighed with a wry smile.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate this group of talents, literati don't use force to kill people, they can kill people with their pens and defend the country. Do you really think that the old man holds this poetry party for pleasure? Meng Qingran shook his head slightly.

Yingjie didn't dare, Taifu had his own thoughts when he did this, but Yingjie would inevitably sigh when he saw such a scene. Yingjie naturally also knows that if I want to be strong, Jiang Chao must govern martial arts, govern the interior, and use martial arts to secure the state. Jiang Yingjie's face flashed with apologies, what he said just now really didn't mean to contact Meng Qingran.

"That's it, the situation in the capital is complicated, and Yingwu doesn't want to make progress at all, as the prince of the East Palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a big thing. Yingzong has some talent, but it is still a little worse. Meng Qingran paused and continued, "It's you, really planning to give up?" ”

Jiang Yingjie smiled bitterly: "Taifu doesn't know, my two imperial brothers have won the favor of their father, and there are not a few people in the court who support them, as for me, it is only suitable to come to this place south of the Yangtze River to play."

"Actually, I didn't want to come, I would rather go to the north to fight with the Tartars and contribute a little bit to my Jiang Dynasty."

Meng Qingran smiled: "Your Majesty still has His Highness's ...... in his heart"

"Speaking of the north, the old man heard that this time it was a big victory, Xue Yuan was in charge, the first time I was able to win a battle with the Tatar side of the army, and raise the prestige of my country, Xue Yuan, this kid, can."

"Well, Yingjie has also heard about this, and General Xue has made great contributions." Jiang Yingjie nodded and said.

"Hehe, I guess the news hasn't come yet, so it's better for the old man to reveal it tonight, haha." Meng Qingran laughed loudly, and the literati who wrote poems below quieted down one by one.

Seeing this, Meng Qingran got up and looked at everyone.

"You are all famous talents in Lin'an, the old man holds this poetry meeting is to see the literary brilliance of my Jiang Dynasty literati, today the old man learned a news, in the war with the Tatars in the north, my Jiang Dynasty won a great victory."

As soon as Meng Qingran finished speaking, the following discussion began. Some talented people suddenly shouted hello, and some talented people nodded calmly, looking expected.

In fact, the war between the Jiang Dynasty and the Tatars was only a small friction, and it has not yet risen to the level of a major war, but the Tatar side has been constantly provoking, fighting guerrilla attacks and plundering the common people on the border of the Jiang Dynasty, and in the future, it may be over. Now the Jiang Dynasty is divided into two factions, one faction is the main peace, mainly proposed by the civilian officials, and the other faction is the main battle, mainly proposed by the military generals. Moreover, the situation of the imperial court is now complicated, and most of the energy is focused on the interior, and there are some peasant uprisings in the Jiang Dynasty, and many troops are dispatched to suppress it. Natural disasters have occurred, and people in some places are struggling to make a living.

"It's worth celebrating, but we need more useful people right now. You are all the pillars of my big ginger, and you should take the national social service as the important task and serve the country! Meng Qingran's words were impassioned and sonorous, and he immediately infected many talented people present, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, their faces were red, and they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at this moment.

Meng Qingran deserves to be the emperor's teacher, these words can really fool people, Shen An thought secretly. The level of the talents present is invisibly improved and the fighting spirit is stimulated.

"Taking this opportunity, the old man proposed that this poetry meeting should take the border brigade war as a broad poetic eye, and you can use this to compose poems, so as to show the concern of my great Jiang literati about the border brigade war. Who dares to say that my literati of Da Jiang are useless? After Meng Qingran finished speaking, he sat back down.

Some of the following talents are in a hurry, this kind of people who have not prepared this aspect of poetry in advance, but there are also many talents who are calm and calm, and this kind is more or less a bit of real talent.

Xiaohe looked at all this boredly and yawned: "Uncle, can we sell this cake?" Shen An often told her the word sales, and she probably knew what it meant.

Shen An looked at Xiaohe, this girl stayed up late last night to make cakes, and she was a little sleepy at this time, he smiled: "Xiaohe, you have to believe in your uncle, everything is in your uncle's control." If you're sleepy, go back first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

Xiaohe immediately shook his head, and his spirit was shocked: "Don't be sleepy, Xiaohe is not sleepy, you must wait for your uncle."

Not to mention that some of the talents in Lin'an City do have some talent, and now there are a few talents who have made a few poems, judging from the means of appreciating poetry in Shen An's previous life, most of these poems are still good. Especially the poems made by one of them, called Juniper Yi Caizi, even Meng Qingran kept nodding.

The battle of poetry gradually became fierce at this time as the talented man made his first poem, and several really good poems were also circulated during this period. Some geniuses shook their heads and walked out of the poetry writers as if they were tired, looking for food, which is probably the kind of people who did not prepare poetry in advance, really...... People are not as good as heaven.

A dejected genius stood not far from Shen An, and Shen An took the opportunity to say when he saw this: "This brother doesn't have to be depressed, this poetry is actually a form of entertainment, and poetry can't be seen in a person's true talent." Why don't you try the pastries below, and find some inspiration. ”

The genius turned his head and looked unkind: "Reciting poetry is an elegant thing, how can it be said that it is ...... How to be entertained? ”

Dare Shen An said the wrong thing, in this world, poetry is considered to be extremely sacred and elegant, but the genius also seems to think that poetry can't see a person's true talent, and said: "What this brother Tai said is also right, poetry can't show a person's true talent, well, let's taste Brother Tai's pastries first."

The genius looked at the various cakes in the food box, hesitated a little, and picked a piece of cream.

The way the literati ate was very gentle, and the genius chewed carefully for a while, revealing a strange look: "This pastry from Brother Tai has never been eaten in Xia, and the pastry in Lin'an City has eaten nearly seventy percent in Xia, and this pastry from Brother Tai has a unique taste, which is comparable to the jade cake sold by the Shen family!" What kind of pastry is this? ”

The Shen family that this genius is talking about is the Shen family where Shen An used to live, and the business that the Shen family does is pastries.

"This pastry is called a cake, and the one that Brother Tai just ate was a creamy cake." Shen An smiled, this should be a good start, as for the Shen family's jade flower cake? I can't remember it in my memory, and it is estimated that the original Shen An has never eaten it. The Shen family is in the pastry business, he naturally knows about it, and Li Mingzhu has also mentioned it to him a few times.
