Chapter 21: Poetry Society
Ji Jin sat in the carriage, listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside the window, and he looked out of the corner.
I saw that the man was dressed in a dark shirt, sitting on a white horse, although he did not have a slow belt and a light coat, but he was also heroic. The wind blew the long sideburns, sending flowers all the way, she knocked the horse's belly, raised her eyebrows, and was proud of Jinghua.
Ji Jin was a little stunned.
"Ji Hengtian will always be such an arbitrary woman." He Zhuo's voice was rare serious.
Ji is sloping?
Yes, this is his eldest sister's expression.
Speaking of which, she has a daughter's family, and there shouldn't be any words.
It's just that their grandfather, the British father, has always raised Ji Zhun as a boy.
Other ladies from other families have given chaste and gentle boudoir names, but the British duke gave Ji Zhun "horizontal tilt" as the expression word.
The British Gong said: "If you are accurate, the boat is flat, and the middle and vertical are accurate, and you can tilt horizontally." ”
That's why everyone in the Guogong Mansion calls Ji Zhun Heng Sister instead of Sister-to-be.
When the carriage swayed, the group arrived in front of the Guogong Mansion, He Zhuo jumped out of the carriage, Ji Zhun also turned over and dismounted, and Ji Jin lifted the curtain.
He Zhuo raised his head and looked at Ji Jin in the carriage: "When Zewen wants to play with me, give me the next post, and I will be on call." ”
A few people said goodbye.
Ji Zhun took Ji Jin into the house, his cheeks were rosy at this time, and he was a little more angry than usual, Ji Zhun thought to himself, he really should take him out more.
Ji Jin returned to the Huozhu Courtyard, and let Zizhou push himself into the study, he has been building his heart for a while, although he is not ashamed to be someone to write it, but seeing that the poetry of Bian Wangfu is imminent, if he does not help the eldest sister write a poem, the eldest sister will have to hand in a white scroll, and if she hands in a white scroll, she will be laughed at, and being ridiculed will affect the second sister and the third sister. In line with the principle of not embarrassing the second and third sisters, he reluctantly wrote an article for the eldest sister.
After Ji Zhun received the manuscript of this poem from Zizhou, he had mixed feelings in his heart, but he was still happy, no matter what, Ji Jin was better than before, and it will get better and better in the future.
After a little heat, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Ji Zhun was sweating every time she came back from the martial arts hall, but her kung fu was also improving day by day.
Her current fist and foot kung fu is no longer the flower fist and embroidered legs of the past, not only that, Ji Zhun also practiced marksmanship, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her foundation is good.
In addition to practicing every day, she also has to teach Ji Jin to practice arrows for another hour.
The days passed quickly, and on this day, King Bian's mansion issued an invitation. Invite all the young masters and ladies of the British Mansion to participate in the poetry meeting, after Ji Jin learned about it, he was a little uneasy, and immediately went to explain to his grandmother that he wanted to refuse.
At that time, they were in the martial arts hall. Ji Zhun lifted the green Shen, and took a few steps forward to block Ji Jin's way, "Why don't you go?" ”
Ji Jin lowered his head and pulled the bowstring with his fingers: "I don't like many people." ”
Ji Zhun knew that Ji Jin was just hindered by leg disease and didn't want to appear in front of others.
"If you talk about poetry and songs, Zewen Jian'an is a backbone; If you talk about the character of a gentleman, Ze Wenfu Yin Mingda; If you talk about Wuluo Liutao, Zewen, you can already make no mistakes. The eldest sister asks you again, why don't you go? ”
Ji Jin looked at Ji Zhun blankly, he didn't think that he was so good in the eldest sister's heart? He used to be ashamed of others, and awkwardness has long become his protective color.
He didn't say anything more, and silently returned to the target to practice seriously.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the poetry meeting, and the Ji sisters got up early to freshen up.
Ji Zhun wore an azure silk placket today, a moon-white skirt, a goose-yellow palace silk tied at the waist, and a carved camellia pattern pressed skirt white jade fell on the palace silk.
When the three sisters met, they were surrounded by a group of maids and women and walked to the outer courtyard.
Today, the three of them shared a carriage, just because early this morning, He Zhuo rode to the Guogong Mansion, saying that he was also invited and wanted to go with Ji Jin.
Ji Zhun was happy, and with He Zhuo accompanying Ji Jin, Ji Jin could also feel at ease.
After they all got into the carriage, they followed Ji Jin and He Zhuo and drove towards Bian Wangfu.
He Zhuo rode a horse to Ji Zhun and their car, knocked on the wall of the car, Ji Zhun opened the curtain and looked at him, He Zhuo looked at Ji Zhun and pulled out a ruffian: "I said Ah Zhun, your idea of ink can actually be invited to participate in the poetry meeting." ”
Ji Zhun also laughed and said: "Straw bag Heji also went to the poetry club, I think, then I have enough ink for this idea." Without waiting for He Zhuo to say anything more, she lowered the curtain.
He Zhuo jumped to his feet angrily outside: "Okay, you are a Ji sidewalk!" Hum! Well, I'm here to remind you, I heard He Yu say that his cousin Yu Wanwan also went, it seems that Yu Wanwan also found someone to be with her, you should be careful today. ”
Ji Zhun answered in the car, and then He Zhuo patted the horse to chase Ji Jin's carriage.
Ji Ya Ji Hen was also in the car, and she also heard what He Zhuo said clearly, Ji Hen looked at Ji Ya, Ji Ya's face was a little pale, what happened last time left a shadow on Ji Ya, and she was inevitably nervous when she heard Yu Wanwan's three words.
Ji Zhun and Ji Hen grabbed Ji Ya's hand left and right, and Ji Zhun said: "With me and Lu Xuan here, you can rest assured." Moreover, this is in King Bian's mansion, and she doesn't dare to do anything. Then he turned to Ji Hen and said, "Lu Xuan, you are also more alert today." ”
"Eldest sister, I know." Ji Hen nodded back.
When the group came to Bian Wang's Mansion, there were already many carriages parked here. Because of his leg disease, Ji Jin has never participated in this kind of rally at all, so he is somewhat embarrassed. He Zhuo pushed him, and said nonchalantly: "Zewen, don't panic, small scene, with me He Zhuo here, I will see who dares to stare at him." ”
Ji Zhun glared at him from the side, then walked to Ji Jin's side and said softly, "Zewen, wait a minute, don't write heavy with the eldest sister." ”
Ji Jin smiled, but at the same time, his nervousness eased a lot.
The maids and maids of the palace came close and led everyone to the flower hall.
Before the banquet began, there were only some young ladies sitting in the flower hall, Ji Zhun turned his head to look out, it turned out that most of the guests were visiting the garden in the garden.
Ji Ya was afraid of the heat, so they simply sat down next to the mat near the window sash.
Ji Zhun slowly looked at King Bian's mansion. Princess Bian can play, this flower hall is arranged quite quaint, the beams are painted with beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and the pillars are carved with large peonies.
There are a few on the ground, and there are also four treasures of the study, pen washing paperweight and other things. A few bamboo mats were laid, and there were futons on the mats, so it seemed that they were going to sit on the ground. I think it's to emulate Wei Jin.
At this time, a group of palace maids rushed in, each holding a silver spoon hook with a curtain, came to the central axis of the flower hall, and opened the curtain hanging in the hall together, hung down, and the flower hall was divided into two, which is to divide the men and women.
Ji Zhun felt interesting in his heart, what can this gauze curtain shadow contain? This old princess is really a wonderful person, I'm afraid she also likes to order the master of the mandarin duck spectrum.
At this time, the young ladies who visited the garden also returned to the flower hall one after another, and each found a seat, and the three of Ji Zhun did not move, but sat behind the three small tables leaning against the window sash.
Ji Zhun was bored, Ji Hen beside her gently bumped her elbow again, she raised her head and followed Ji Hen's gaze. I saw that Yu Wanwan was wearing a peach-pink cloud brocade armor today, and she was struggling behind a young lady wearing an apricot yellow jacket.
Ji Zhun looked at the young lady carefully, and the young lady was a little beautiful, with a goose egg face, fair skin, and eyebrows. She was beautifully dressed and generous in her gestures.
Yu Wanwan was behind her, like a golden chicken only around the peacock, babbling.
Ji Zhun retracted his gaze, but the girl in the apricot yellow dress turned her head and glanced at her, and then Shi Shiran walked to a few places in the front row and sat down.
The poetry meeting has not yet started, and everyone is still chatting quietly.
At this time, Ji Ya tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Eldest sister, I seem to have seen her...... It should be called Ye Xirui, her grandfather used to be a cabinet scholar, and his father is now the governor of Zhenglin. ”
Ji Zhun nodded, she also remembered, no wonder Yu Wanwan hugged Ye Xirui's thigh, this Yu Wanwan's aunt was married to the Ye family as a daughter-in-law, isn't it the wife of the governor Ye Bin, then this Yu Wanwan and Ye Xirui are cousins.
Her father is a second-class member of the court, and her grandfather is an important minister of the court, so it's no wonder she looks so proud. In his previous life, this person ended up marrying Jiang Tingshao, the fourth prince of Emperor Jing.
Ji Zhun was thinking about it, and then he heard a little girl singing loudly: "Princess Bian has arrived~"
Everyone stood up and saluted Princess Bian. Princess Bian smiled and nodded and said yes, let them be exempted, and motioned for them to all sit down.
Princess Bian turned her head and glanced at the people sitting below, then nodded and said, "Okay, the girl from the Guogong family is here." Oh, and Xirui is here too. ”
Then Princess Bian beckoned, and the little maid behind her sang loudly: "The poetry will begin~"
