28. Children of the Cai family
The husband's surname is Zhao, and his family's surname is Li......
Zhou Quan was already a little confused at this time, judging from all kinds of signs, the girl in front of him should be Li Qingzhao. But when asked if she was a Yi'an Jushi, she denied it, and used "Summer Quatrain" to test her, but she still denied that she was the author.
Zhou Quan rolled his eyes, anyway, he was only fifteen years old, so he simply asked directly, and he was not afraid of being misunderstood as a disciple.
"The lady's name, but the word Qingzhao?"
Zhao Niangzi was not shy, and nodded generously: "It's me!" ”
That's right, this Zhao Niang is really Li Qingzhao!
"Xiao Langjun, can you tell me who wrote that quatrain?" Li Qingzhao asked again.
Zhou Quan wanted to tell her that the quatrain just now was written by herself, but at this time, he understood it.
At this moment, Li Qingzhao has not yet called himself Yi'an Jushi, nor has he experienced the changes of Jingkang, and of course he has not been able to write that quatrain.
In other words, in front of the original author, he copied the original author's poem, and then quietly pretended to be so-and-so.
"The kid really doesn't know, because he has heard of Zhao Niangzi's erudite **** name, so he asked Zhao Niangzi for advice." Ren Zhouquan was thick-skinned, and he was embarrassed to pretend to be the author of this quatrain in front of Li Qingzhao, so he could only reluctantly prevaricate.
"It's a pity, it's a pity...... If you know who he is, and then look for his Mobao poems, it will be good! Li Qingzhao said with infinite longing.
In this regard, Zhou Quan could only look up at the sky.
Soon, Li Qingzhao came back to his senses and focused his attention on his teacher.
I asked my teacher if he had read poetry books, tested a few lines of poetry, and asked him if he had ever practiced calligraphy...... In short, Zhou Quan has become a passer-by who has been left behind.
At this time, the teacher's eyes also flashed with little stars.
This is Li Qingzhao! You must know that Li Qingzhao's name as a woman is known to everyone in the cultural circles of Beijing.
At least the teacher himself, he learned to sing several long and short sentences of Li Qingzhao.
"This woman is smart enough to teach me what I have learned in my life...... It's a pity, it's a pity. After a long time, Li Qingzhao ended the topic and thought to himself.
Li Qingzhao has been married to Zhao Mingcheng for ten years, and nothing has happened, although the husband and wife are still harmonious, but this matter has always been a problem for Li Qingzhao, so for smart children, she has a liking in her heart. And she is erudite and talented, what she has learned in her life is not as good as that of men, and she also wants to teach it to other women.
If she can stay in Jingshi for a long time, she will inevitably want to introduce Shishi as a disciple, but when she returns to Jingshi from Qingzhou Returning Hall this time, she will follow her mother-in-law, Mrs. Guo, to have something important, and after the matter is done, she will go back to Qingzhou.
Therefore, she can only put regret in her heart.
"I am happy to have a little friend today, I have two books in my sedan car, and I will pay you for it, so that I can read." Li Qingzhao took out two volumes from the sedan chair and handed them over to the teacher.
Zhou Quan, who was originally going to pick up these two books, was suddenly embarrassed: It turns out that this little friend is a teacher and not himself.
After giving the book to the teacher, Li Qingzhao felt that he was happy, put down the sedan curtain, and ordered him to go back. But at the moment when the sedan curtain was lowered, she saw an acquaintance figure flickering in the distance.
"That's ...... Children of the Cai family? Li Qingzhao's heart suddenly sank.
The Cai family is naturally Cai Jing's family, and although Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou at this time, there have been rumors that he will recover. Li Qingzhao has been in the capital for a few days, and he also heard about it.
She came with her mother-in-law this time to resume the posthumous gift for her late father-in-law Zhao Tingzhi. Zhao Tingzhi had a revenge on Cai Jing, and then fought with Cai Jing for power, after Zhao Tingzhi's death, Cai Jing instructed people to attack, Zhao Tingzhi was chased away from his official position, and even his children were not allowed to go out and live in Beijing.
Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng is idle at home at this time, because of this. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Guo, is shrewd and strategic, and she has been involved in many activities before, but now she is taking advantage of Cai Jing's demotion to return to Beijing in person, visit the old ones, and handle this matter.
Seeing Li Qingzhao leave, Zhou Quan took a few steps, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, I'm so stupid!" ”
is really stupid, although Li Qingzhao is married to a wife, he is still a famous figure in the cultural circles of the capital. It is a good opportunity to advertise, if you can pull Li Qingzhao to write such a song praising popsicles, and then make people pass it into the Qinglou Goulan, the sales of popsicles will double!
Rolling his eyes, Zhou Quan looked at the teacher with a smile, it doesn't matter if he misses this time, judging from Li Qingzhao's attitude towards the teacher, as long as the teacher is sent, there will always be a chance.
Shishi suddenly felt a little chill on his body, and looked up, the sun was shining, and it was still a hot day.
Li Qingzhao's sedan chair was far away, but the figure she recognized slowly shook over.
This person blocked Li Bao's way and asked with a smile, "What are you selling here?" ”
"Popsicles." Li Bao replied stiffly.
"Show me it." That's humane.
There were more than a dozen people next to the man, all of whom looked like Confucian students, and all of them had a playful face. When Zhou Quan saw their appearance, he knew that this group of people was not easy to mess with, if he really offended them, he was afraid that Zhou Fu might not be able to settle it if he came forward.
Therefore, he stepped forward and clenched his fists: "Everyone, this is a popsicle, an ice drink to cool off, please taste it." ”
He took out the sweet popsicles and mung bean popsicles and presented them to these people. These people were originally disdainful, but after taking it, they were tempted by the cold, and someone couldn't help but lick it.
And Li Bao was a little anxious: "Pay, they haven't paid yet!" ”
"How can I send you all this money!" One of the people in the group sneered.
"I don't pay for eating and drinking in Fan Lou, and I still have to pay for eating two square ice cubes in your broken stall?" Another humane.
They saw that Li Bao was a fool, and deliberately teased, Li Bao really had a blue muscle on his forehead, as if a bull had seen a red cloth, and his eyes widened.
Fortunately, Zhou Quan slapped him over and slapped him back, so he could only squat on the edge of the wooden box and draw circles.
"Your sons will naturally not be short of money, I just think that your sons have a wide range of friends, if you preach two sentences for us, the business you bring will be enough for our small business to eat and drink."
Zhou Quan's words made those companions smile, but the Cai family that Li Qingzhao noticed was still indifferent.
As the grandson of Cai Jing, Cai Xing has long been complimented by many people, so he didn't take Zhou Quan's compliments to heart at all, what he cared about was what Zhou Quan and Li Qingzhao said just now.
Compared with his father, Cai Xing spoke straightforwardly: "What did Mrs. Zhao say to you?" ”
In Cai Xing's opinion, Zhou Quan is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and when he is asked by a noble person, he will definitely tell the truth, but it is really not good, and he will send some rewards.
Sure enough, when Zhou Quan heard this, his eyes blinked, and then he said embarrassedly: "This...... It's not that you can't tell Childe, but the lady gave a reward......"
"Horn!"
A silver coin landed on the wooden box, and this silver coin was not small, at least larger than the single size that Zhou Quan got from Jia Yi.
"To tell the truth, this is yours, if it's a lie, take my name to Kaifeng Mansion." Cai Xing said lightly, his chin raised slightly, arrogant.
The little guy who begged for life in the Beijing Division, as long as his eyes were a little brighter and the people were a little more active, when he saw this scene, he knew that this was a character who had no extravagance, and he would not dare to deceive and offend, but would only use his heart to please.
It's a pity that he met Zhou Quan.
This is a soul that has been cultivated in the commodity age, and it is full of strange people who have a talent for telling nonsense.
"That lady Zhao was attracted by our popsicles, she said that she had never seen anyone selling this popsicle in Beijing before......" Zhou Quan said.
As he spoke, he opened his eyes round, without blinking, with a sincere face, but he didn't point to his eyes and said to Cai Xing, "Look at my eyes to know how sincere I am."
Cai Xing's face changed slightly, if it was just this bit of news, it would not be worth his reward.
Cai Xing recognized Li Qingzhao, and he also knew very well that Li Qingzhao's husband's family and his grandfather were mortal enemies, and now when his grandfather's recovery was in a critical situation, Li Qingzhao did not stay in Qingzhou, but ran to Beijing, which made Cai Xing worried.
Although Zhao Tingzhi is dead, after all, he is also a generation of traitors, even Su Shi and Huang Tingjian have been played by him, and his in-law Li Gefei was even simply pushed into the vortex by him.
"There's only one sentence, but you can't get a reward." Cai Xing reached out and grabbed the silver coin again.
As a result, Zhou Quan's hand was faster, and he had already grabbed the silver coin into his palm, smiled and thanked him for the reward, and then said: "That Zhao lady ate the ice drink I sold here, and the poem was prosperous, and she composed a poem on the spot, I don't know if the son wants to listen to it?" ”
Cai Xing looked at Zhou Quan: "Say." ”
"Life should be a hero, death is also a ghost, so far I think of Xiang Yu, and I refuse to cross Jiangdong."
In the surprised eyes of Li Bao and his teacher, Zhou Quan returned this "Summer Quatrain" to its original owner.
Cai Xing and these people, although they are all trouser brothers, have read poetry books to some extent, at least they can understand the quality of the poems.
Hearing this poem, they changed color one by one, even if they knew that Li Qingzhao and the Cai family were rivals, they couldn't help but feel respect at this time.
"It is worthy of being the Jingshi poet of the year!"
"Zhao Mingcheng's house, in previous years, I didn't see him outstanding in Taixue, but he married such a girl, which is enviable!"
"What are you jealous of, I think that Zhao Mingcheng is a guy, every time he sees his wife's masterpiece, he will be ashamed of himself every time!"
In the midst of the discussion, Cai Xing closed his eyes slightly.
He just stood far away, so he didn't hear what Zhou Quan and Li Qingzhao said clearly, but one thing he was sure of was that this quatrain was definitely not something that a market guy like Zhou Quan could write.
If this is the case, it is really for Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao entered the capital at this time and wrote such a poem, what does it mean, can it be said...... The Zhao family wants to do their best to prevent their grandfather from recovering?
