When Mrs. Li saw the son of the deceased, she was inevitably a little moved in her heart, and she was quite sad to hear that Ji Yanning's parents were now dead.

Between her and Ji Yanning's casual chat, she saw that Ji Yanning was generous and her appearance was outstanding, and her heart moved, and she asked, "Have you ever promised someone?"

An Shi listened to it on the sidelines and felt that it was wrong, Mrs. Li rarely appeared on such occasions, thinking that it was for her son to find a young lady in the family, so she hurriedly said: "This matter is not in a hurry, Yan Ning has not yet reached the end of the day, besides, her uncle and I will definitely take a good look at others for her, but now Yan Ning has to keep filial piety for her parents for three years, and she will have to wait for a few years." ”

Mrs. Li said: "I feel happy when I look at a child like Yan Ning, if it weren't for the fact that my two sons already have a marriage contract, this is to rob me and I have to rush to my house!"

Ji Yanning just lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not speak.

Mrs. Li is not stupid, she can naturally hear that An's family does not like to marry the Li family, originally thought that Ji Yanning was not from a high background, and now she is an orphan girl, and she will definitely not be able to marry a high family in the future, so she thought about paying attention to her son.

is also the son of a friend, and he knows the roots.

However, Liu Mu and his wife seem to be very interested in Ji Yanning, thinking that they are too aggrieved because they don't want her to marry.

But his son is also the leader of the younger generation in Chang'an City, why is there no girl who is willing?

Thinking of her son, Mrs. Li began to worry from the bottom of her heart, but he never took such a major life event to heart, and in the end, he still affected him.

Mrs. Li came back to her senses, looked at Ji Yanning and said, "Such a well-behaved child naturally has to take a good look at each other." ”

An Shi smiled and said to Ji Yanning: "The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming just right, and it's not good for you, a little girl, to stay in the room with us all the time, go out and have a look." ”

Ji Yanning bowed his head, but he didn't refuse, got up and saluted and took the purple jade outside.

The warm pavilion was stuffy, and when Ji Yanning walked out, a breeze happened to blow in front of her, which instantly made her feel a lot more comfortable.

She descended the stairs and walked into the garden beside her.

There are many plum trees planted in several gardens in Chungdebo's house, and they are carefully cared for, and this plum feast is held every year.

There are a lot of young ladies in the largest garden, it seems very lively, she just arrived in Chang'an, these faces are very unfamiliar to her, but she has also paid attention to some of them, but she can recognize one or two.

At this time, Liu Pingting was in the same place with Ruan Yuqing, surrounded by a group of young ladies from the family, but they were talking and laughing.

When Liu Pingting saw Ji Yanning's figure, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she called her forward.

Liu Pingting said: "Cousin Ji, you can be regarded as coming out, I thought you were going to accompany your aunt in the warm pavilion all the time, this plum blossom is blooming just right, the young ladies are using plum blossoms to write poems, why don't you come and show your hand too?"

Ji Yanning said lightly: "I didn't say that I would compose poetry. ”

"Cousin Ji, don't be modest, didn't you say you would, last time? And your slave also said that you are also a famous talented girl in Jiangnan, I have never forgotten it!" Liu Tingting's voice was not loud or small, and it just fell on everyone's ears.

Ji Yanning looked at her, her eyes were as calm as water, and there was no ripple.

She turned around and asked Ziyu, "Ziyu, have you ever said such a thing?"

Ziyu said, "The slave maid has never said such a thing. ”

Ruan Yuqing next to her sneered and said, "Cousin, don't embarrass her, it's just that she has been addicted to talking on weekdays, who knows if she has a little ink in her belly?"

Yan Anjin of Zhongdebo Mansion looked at such a scene, and now everyone was attracted by their quarrel, she glanced at Ji Yanning, but she felt that this girl was quite good-looking, but she didn't have half an impression, so she asked: "This young lady is a face, I don't know which one is from the house?"

Before Ji Yanning could answer, Liu Pingting said: "This is our Miss Cousin of Liufu, who was originally born in a businessman in Jiangnan, and later came to join our Liu family when her parents died." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she met Ji Yanning's gaze, which made her feel a little weak.

Hearing Ji Yanning's background, and thinking of what Liu Pingting said just now, Yan Anjin only felt that the woman in front of her was very hypocritical, not only from a humble background, but also liked to show off, and she was partial and had no real ability, she just had a good-looking face.

She inexplicably had an urge to make Ji Yanning ugly in her heart.

Yan Anjin said: "It's the first time Miss Ji came here to enjoy the plum banquet, so it's better to come and join in the fun, even if she can't compose poems, it's good to be able to write a sub-poem and let everyone see calligraphy." ”

As soon as her words fell, someone next to her said: "It's just a down-and-out family from a small place, what good words can you write!"

"That's it, I really think I'm a talented girl!"

"Could it be that the women in Jiangnan are so useless, wouldn't it be a joke that she can still be called a talented woman. ”

"In addition to being delicate, what kind of poetry and books can women in Jiangnan know! Naturally, they can't compare to Chang'an. ”

The more you talk about it, the more ugly it becomes.

was guided by Liu Pingting like this, and with Yan Anjin's encouragement, soon all the young ladies began to despise Ji Yanning, and some people looked at them, although they talked too much, but they didn't dare to stand up and speak for Ji Yanning.

"It seems that our Jiangnan women are so unbearable in your eyes?"

A dissatisfied voice came from behind everyone, and everyone looked back, Guo Xinyue didn't know when he had come here.

The young ladies who spoke just now were suddenly silent, and their faces were a little weak.

Who is this in front of you? Guo Xinyue, the daughter of the transfer envoy, is naturally unprovoked!

Even a few princes are competing to please people, these small families naturally dare not offend, if they touch the eyebrows of the Guo family, I am afraid that the money bags in the family will not be guaranteed.

Someone explained: "Miss Guo, we didn't talk about you, we just said that this Miss Ji has no ink on her chest, and it is really difficult to get into the elegant hall, don't misunderstand." ”

Ji Yanning looked at the woman who spoke, and when she heard someone introduce her before, she had some impression that she was the daughter of a four-rank general.

She said: "Miss Gao was born in the door, I remember that the elders said that your grandmother, Mrs. Gao, grew up in the border pass, and did not like to read, and after arriving in Chang'an, some people laughed at her because of this, Mrs. Gao said, if you read more but do not understand the reason, do not follow the etiquette, only know complacency and belittle others, then it is not to read the book into the belly of the dog? Now that Miss Gao has said such a thing, it seems that Mrs. Gao had the foresight to reprimand her juniors in advance. ”

Some people couldn't help but laugh in a low voice when they heard Ji Yanning say this.

Mrs. Gao once said that the person who made fun of her was a dog, but she didn't expect her granddaughter to be scolded by her.

"You!" When she said this, Miss Gao turned red, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while!

"Yan Ning's memory is better than that of ordinary people. Guo Xinyue also laughed, stepped forward to hold her arm, and said, "There are too many people here, why don't you accompany me to the garden next to it." ”

Everyone didn't expect Guo Xinyue and Ji Yanning to be so intimate, and they were a little surprised.

Liu Pingting didn't expect it, she asked: "When did Cousin Ji know Miss Guo, she is so close, but my cousin doesn't know." ”

"We are fellow villagers, and before my father came to Chang'an to take up his post, our two families were already world friends, so naturally they were closer. Guo Xinyue didn't hide it, seeing Ji Yanning being bullied today, she was a little angry.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Yan Anjin's eyes, she originally wanted to make Ji Yanning make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect to run out of Guo Xinyue halfway.

She said: "Since Miss Ji is here, let's write a sub-character, I heard Miss Liu say that you are talented, and it must not be fake." ”

Guo Xinyue originally wanted to say something, but suddenly heard Ji Yanning respond: "Okay." ”

All of them were in the pavilion, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all prepared, so that the young ladies who came to admire the plum blossoms could improvise poems, or show off their calligraphy, and put them in the pavilion so that others could see them.

Ji Yanning walked over and came to the desk.

Guo Xinyue didn't want Ji Yanning to write, after all, Yan Anjin's calligraphy is good, and she is considered to be the best among the ladies of the family, even if Ji Yanning writes well, she will inevitably be belittled by Yan Anjin, after all, she is not stupid, and it can be seen that Yan Anjin seems to be a little aimed at Ji Yanning.

Ziyu stepped forward to study the ink, after all, the ink in winter is always easy to become a little dry.

Ji Yanning dipped his pen in ink, and then wrote two lines of poetry on a large piece of rice paper.

She lifted the pen and wrote the words, flowing smoothly, in one go, but there was no pause and hesitation, the feeling in her hand seemed to be written very casually, but her gaze was extraordinarily focused.

"In the ice and snow forest, different peaches and plums are mixed with fragrant dust. ”

Everyone looked at these two lines of poetry with wide eyes in amazement and admiration.

This surprise is naturally not because of the quoted poem, but because of the elegant font, Ji Yanning wrote a pair of wild grass, wandering clouds and dragons, and the pen walking dragons and snakes, which looks thin and atmospheric, very free and easy.

Anyone who has practiced calligraphy knows how well this character is written.

"Let everyone laugh. Ji Yanning had already put down his pen, bowed his head slightly, and turned to Guo Xinyue again, "I'll accompany Sister Guo to other places for a walk." ”

Guo Xinyue came back to her senses, saw the surprised and blushing appearance of those who laughed at her just now, sneered, but didn't say anything, and left the pavilion with Ji Yanning.

Those young ladies of the family gathered around the table and looked at this pair of characters, and finally someone spoke: "This is too good writing, even if it is a young lady from Chang'an, I am afraid that there is no calligraphy that can compare with it......"

"I think Murong Yixue's calligraphy is not as good as Miss Ji's. ”

"It seems that Miss Ji is really talented. ”

Liu Tingting's face stiffened when she heard everyone say this.

As far as An Jin is concerned, she is not very happy, originally Murong Yixue did not come to this flower viewing banquet, she is still a little happy, after all, in calligraphy, there are not many people who can compare to her, Murong Yixue is not there, everyone's eyes are focused on her.

I didn't expect this Ji Yanning's calligraphy to be so good.

The disgust in her eyes deepened......
