Chapter 3 Penglai Qing Shallow Narcissus House

As soon as they saw her, the young ladies cheered and said, "Okay, the Lord is here!" Now you can start a poetry club! ”

It seems that the middle-aged beauty is the leader of their group of talented and beautiful poets.

The step stopped, and Miss Childe stepped forward, hugged under the peach tree, and sat down on the futon.

The fat girl who had helped Xiao Jiading speak before sat next to the beautiful woman and said coquettishly: "Godmother! Why did you come! It's so bad that our eyes can't see through it! ”

This beautiful woman is the godmother of the fat girl surnamed Du? Xiao Jiading thought to himself, looking at this, this beautiful woman should not be from an ordinary family, but he didn't know what the origin of Lu Dao was.

The beautiful woman said: "There is something to do at home, didn't I say it?" Let you start by yourselves, don't have to wait for me. ”

"That's not going to work!" The beauty surnamed Huang said delicately, "If you don't come, who will help us judge?" Hello, I'm hello, everyone, no one can tell who is good! ”

The handsome boy surnamed Tang shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Yes, we've been waiting for a long time, let's start a club!" Please Mrs. Ji for the question"

"Good!" The beautiful woman smiled, looked around, and said, "I don't have anything too difficult, so as not to hurt my mind too much and disturb everyone's spring and elegance." On the theme of the spring in front of you, each poem is a quatrain, limited to a pillar of incense, the last person, punished two seas of wine, the penultimate one, punished one sea of wine. Those who can't become poets with all the incense will be punished by the three seas! ”

The crowd applauded in unison.

A nimble little maid beside her took out a large wine bottle. Those talented and beautiful women were stunned for a moment, and Du Erniu smacked her tongue and said, "So big? Three seas? Oh my God, you don't have to do anything when you're done. Straight to the ground. ”

Everyone laughed.

The little maid had already taken out a small incense burner, put it in front of her, took out a refined incense stick, lit it and inserted it in the incense burner. smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! It's time to start ticking, think about it, if you don't think about it, you're going to be punished for drinking! ”

Those talented and beautiful women hurriedly pondered.

A few little maids laid out paper and pen on a few cases again, holding a wide sleeved robe in one hand and pine smoke ink in the other, and began to study the ink slowly.

Only half of the incense was injected, and the beauty surnamed Huang smiled and said, "I have it!" Walking over, he wrote:

The green poplar yin turns to draw the bridge obliquely,

The boat has sheng songs, and there are flowers on the shore.

In the mountains of the end of the day,

Penglai Qing shallow narcissus house.

When everyone heard that she had it, they all came to watch, reading it while reading, and when she finished writing, they couldn't help but applaud.

Xiao Jiading also heard it, and secretly thought in his heart, although this beauty is domineering, she still has some talent in her stomach, and this poem is not bad, although it is not a masterpiece, but it also has some artistic conception. It's a pity that I have a belly full of Tang and Song poems that have been passed down through the ages, but I don't take this poem in my eyes.

Those talented and beautiful women were so impressed that they threw themselves to the ground, especially the elegant-looking Tang Gongzi, shaking the folding fan and shaking his head, as if he was reciting the splendid articles of the sages, he read this poem again, and said: "The seven uniques of the virtuous sister, after reading it, it is refreshing, and we have become immortals." Xianmei really deserves to be the first talented woman in Yizhou! ”

The handsome woman smiled faintly and said, "Tang Gongzi has won the award." He stopped talking, and didn't seem to care much about the sycophants of this Tang boy.

This Tang Gongzi called her Xianmei, but she called him Tang Gongzi indifferently, obviously disagreeing with her set. Tang Gongzi seemed to be accustomed to the indifference of the handsome woman, and he didn't care, and said: "According to this poem by the virtuous sister, the foolish brother also thought of one, so it can be counted as a dog's tail and a mink." At that moment, I walked to the front of a few cases, sat upright, and wrote a poem of seven uniques, reciting by myself while writing:

In February, the riverside is full of flowers,

The wind is light, the curtain is curtain, and the swallows are flying.

Visitors take a break from holding candles at night,

The willows are thick and spring.

After he wrote this poem, the young ladies all applauded, only the handsome woman, but her expression was faint. Tang Gongzi smiled and asked, "Sister Xian, how about you please comment on this poem by Brother Fool?" ”

The handsome woman said lightly: "Wait a while, Mrs. Ji will naturally comment." I'll just listen to it. ”

At this time, several others began to write one after another. Only the chubby ** seems to be full of paste, and he can't make up a song, so anxious that his head is full of sweat, and he is spinning around there like a headless fly.

Tang poems and Song lyrics Xiao Jiading has in his head that when he was a child, his parents who wanted his son Jackie Chan forced him to recite Tang poems and Song lyrics, and it was at that time that he was forced too much, which encouraged rebellion, so that when he grew up a little, he didn't listen to his parents and became a bad student who fought and brawled, but his parents forced him to recite poetry when he was a child.

Xiao Jiading had already heard the method of punishing the wine for the victory and defeat of the poems they said just now, and also heard the poems of the two of them, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he had an idea, and secretly thought in his heart, this time Lao Tzu is not the one who has crossed over if you two talented and beautiful people lie on the ground and vomit wildly.

He looked at the fat girl, and when she turned to his side, he smiled at her and beckoned her to come.

The fat girl didn't know what Xiao Jiading told her to do, she glanced at those talented and beautiful people, and was commenting on the poems that were written well, no one paid attention to her, so she walked quickly to Xiao Jiading: "What to do?" ”

"For the sake of you just talking to me, I taught you a poem, and you memorized ......"

"You teach me? Pull it down! Don't mess around! The chubby chick pouted and turned to leave.

Siu Ka-ting recited Du Fu's famous Wing Chun poem in a low voice:

Chi Ri Jiang Shanli,

The spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and herbs.

……

The ** immediately stood still, turned to look at him, and looked at him with a look of disbelief. Quickly glanced back, and saw that the companions were shaking their heads and analyzing these two poems, and no one paid attention to them, so they hurriedly walked back and whispered, "What about the last two sentences?" ”

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly and said, "Tell me first, who are you?" What do parents do? You tell me first. I'll tell you again. ”

The fat girl hurriedly said: "My name is Du Erniu, my father is in business, and he runs out to buy and sell all the year round, my grandfather turned out to be a scribe in the county government punishment room, named Du Dayin, because he was old and retired last year. ”

The county yamen punishment room was in charge of criminal and civil trial work, and the ordinary officials of the yamen in the Tang Dynasty were called "Shi", commonly known as scribes, which was equivalent to an ordinary judge of the county court in modern society.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Look up for a long time." ”

Du Erniu said curiously: "Do you know my grandfather?" ”

Xiao Jiading was stunned for a moment, thinking that this fat girl was still sincere, and he couldn't hear that he was polite, and he couldn't deny it in person, so he said vaguely: "I've heard of your grandfather's fame." Hey. Then you say, who is the boy who looks like a dog with a folding fan? ”

Du Erniu couldn't help laughing, and laughed: "You are really mean when you speak." But it's quite figurative, and I don't like him either. His name is Tang Rongxuan, and his father is the Si Zuo of the county yahufang, named Tang Xian. ”

Xiao Jiading is a graduate student in legal history, and he still knows a lot about ancient official positions. The functions and powers of this household are household registration, bookkeeping, post stations, fields, etc., including the current Agricultural Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau, including the Land Management Bureau, and Si Zuo is only the deputy director of the household, which can be understood as the deputy director, but the level is not the same as the deputy director of the county organ in the current society. Si Zuo is a foreign official, commonly known as not entering the stream, no official quality, belonging to the "official" level among the officials, set the current administrative level, at most a section member level. T what? Lao Tzu's modern society has a lot of dealings with cadres at the prefectural and departmental levels, even at the provincial and ministerial levels, there have been interactions, you little clerk is a ball in front of me!

Du Erniu said again: "The woman who asked the servants to take you away before is named Huang Shiyun, and her father is the recorder of the county government. ”

The county government records, from a functional point of view, are equivalent to today's county government office directors, but the level is far from the current county government office director, and the county government records are also not in the stream, and they also belong to the level of "officials".

Xiao Jiading asked the middle-aged beautiful woman again, and Du Erniu said: "She is the head of our poetry society, and she is the wife of the Hongwenguan Bachelor Ji who returned to her hometown, but the Bachelor Ji died a few years ago." ”

This Hongwen Pavilion bachelor is the real official, and the Tang Dynasty must be called a bachelor at least from the fifth grade or above. The five-rank official is equivalent to the current prefecture-level cadre. It's just that he's an associate professor at a university who is engaged in learning, and he's deceased. Look at people, the wives of prefecture-level cadres, there is no shelf at all, how can you be like you two yellow-haired children who have not dried up, this is called demeanor!

Du Erniu then introduced the remaining two men and two women, both of whom were also the children of the Yamen officials. Du Erniu unconsciously introduced all these people, all of whom were the children of county officials. It seems that this poetry society was formed by the children of officials in the county government compound.

When she finished speaking, Xiao Jiading nodded and said, "I understand,—— the last two sentences of the quatrain I taught you are: mud melts and flies swallows, and sand warms and sleeps mandarin ducks!" ”

"Great! Thank you! Du Erniu's eyebrows fluttered and she turned around and was about to leave, Xiao Jiading hurriedly said: "Wait! ”

Du Erniu hurriedly turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Seeing that you are sincere, I like it very much, and I am willing to help you." Let me tell you about the flaws in the two poems of Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan, do you want to hear it? ”

"Think, think, think!" Du Erniu said urgently, although she participated in the poetry club, but she has no talent for poetry, either she can't make poems, or she makes limericks and makes people laugh, she also knows that if these real talents and beauties didn't see the face of the old scribe of the county government who saw her father, she would have been kicked out of the poetry club a long time ago. That's it, she always has a bad taste in her heart, now Xiao Jiading taught her this poem, it sounds very good, and I heard him say that he can also point out the flaws in the poems of the two people, and she is even more surprised, and now she can finally raise her eyebrows, nodding busily, looking at him with anticipation on her chubby face.
