Chapter 817: Tea Poetry Party
Two days later, Bai Changjian invited me to the tea poetry party in Dufu.
Du Mansion is the residence of Du Yinglin, the prime minister of the dynasty, it is rumored that Du Cheng has a daughter, not only the country and the city, but also the talent is also a good one, especially to do a good poem, so, this Du Qianjin will soon open a tea poetry party in the house, invite the sons and ladies of the noble family of Wang and Sun to gather together, chant poems and lyrics, and compose good stories together.
These young ladies are proud to receive the invitation of Du Fu, but I didn't expect that one day, this honor can fall on my head, although I have a noble identity, but, cough cough, I still have self-knowledge, compared with those golden branches and jade leaves, they are clouds in the sky, I am the mud on the earth, separated from the sky and the earth.
Usually this kind of thing, it doesn't matter if I am killed, after all, I have a weak heart, but this time, I am going because I heard a grapevine.
Prime Minister Du Cheng originally planned to dedicate his daughter to the emperor, but the emperor had a queen sister, even if the fairy stood in front of him, he would not raise his eyelids, so Du Cheng retreated and fell in love with Bai Changjian, as long as he married his daughter, after all, he was still related to the emperor, and he could also be called a relative of the emperor.
When I went, I sat in a sedan chair, Bai Changjian rode a horse, I sat in the sedan chair and could hear the sound of his horse's hooves, and it sounded beside me, which made me feel very relieved.
I lifted the curtain and peeked, and he was really next to me, tall and horsey, dressed in white and elegant.
Along the way, I peeked at him five times, but he didn't look at me once, always looking ahead, unfazed, but how do I think, every time I look at him, his face is a little red, and when he arrives in Dufu, his face is already as red as a big persimmon in winter, as long as the skin is gently peeled, it can reveal a thick and juicy delicious flesh...... I stole down my throat.
We are honored guests, so Prime Minister Du Cheng personally greeted us, greeted us, respectfully invited us in, first went to him to sit and drank a cup of tea, chatted gossip, and then asked people to invite Du Qianjin over.
When Du Qianjin came over, I paid attention to her expression, and sure enough, the moment I saw Bai Changjian, her face turned red, and her charming appearance was really seductive.
Looking at Bai Changjian again, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, standing up and making a gesture to Du Qianjin, looking like a humble gentleman.
Du Qianjin saluted me, and I sat upright, smiling a little reservedly. Sister Queen said that when you can't cope with it, you must respond to all changes with the same, and sometimes it is necessary to slap a swollen face and become fat.
Fortunately, I remembered her wise words, otherwise I would have been so flattered that I didn't know where to change my hands and feet, such a beautiful and noble lady gave me a blessing, it's really ...... Three lives are fortunate.
Prime Minister Du Cheng completed his mission and retired, and Du Qianjin led me and Bai Changjian to the place of the tea poetry meeting.
It was a very beautiful place, facing a large lake, and in the lake there was a lotus that grew just right, and it was green, and the pink flower arrows peeked through the green leaves, and it seemed to be very shy. The gazebo was set up on the flat ground, like the appearance of the promenade, but it was wider than the promenade, with long tables and chairs, the table was exquisite refreshments, surrounded by rockery flowers and plants, the trees were sparse, the wind passed through the hall from all sides, and the end was extremely pleasant.
There were already a lot of people sitting there, and when they saw us coming, they all stood up and saluted, to be honest, I didn't like this kind of cumbersome etiquette, and it invisibly opened up the distance between me and everyone.
Bai Changjian and I were arranged in the main seat, sitting with Du Qianjin, and we could enjoy the lotus leaves all over the lake without turning our heads.
I don't know tea, let alone poetry, I came here purely to see Du Qianjin's demeanor, I know the difference between myself and her, but I have to die to understand.
Bai Changjian sat between me and her, and from my point of view, the two of them can be regarded as talented men and women, and they are natural couples.
I'm very bored sitting here, they are talking about crepe, I am not used to it at all, all kinds of scoundrels take a sip of tea, I think Bai Changjian is probably as boring as me, after all, he is a military attachΓ©, where can he know how to compose poetry!
But to my surprise, when Du Qianjin chanted the last sentence and asked Bai Qianfan to take the next sentence, he was actually very neat and beautiful, winning a thunderous applause.
I know that there is a flattering element in this applause, but he is full of confidence when he reads the poem, and his eyebrows are fluttering, I think that poem must be excellent, and Du Qianjin's face turned red again, and he looked at him shyly with his face raised.
My heart is cold, and I want to brush my sleeves away on the spot, are they showing affection in public...... Has you ever considered my feelings......
There was a girl ring standing behind me, and when I saw that my cup was empty, I added tea in time, and I held a small bone china cup, and it dried up in one gulp, as if I was drinking.
After three or four cups in a row, Bai Changjian finally noticed me, "You're thirsty?" β
Well, I'm thirsty, looking forward to you.
"Don't drink too much and beware of restless nights."
If you're here, I'll be able to sleep soundly.
"Let's have a snack." He shoved the dish in front of me.
I was a little moved, after all, he still cared about me, and was about to grit his teeth at him, but he had already turned around to talk to Du Qianjin, I looked at the back of his head, and I wanted to pick up a piece of dim sum and smash it.
I puffed and pinched a piece of snack, but didn't hit him because it was too wasteful.
Then they played the Flying Flower Order, and whoever flew would have to answer, but when it was my turn, I could only be silent.
Bai Changjian bumped me with his arm, "Speak." β
Me: "...... Cut. β
This voice was obviously disdainful, everyone was a little embarrassed, I was very calm, and the queen sister said, even if her heart trembled into a sieve, her face was still calm.
The most embarrassing thing was Bai Changjian, because I brought it to him, and he laughed dryly, "His Royal Highness the county lord cut the word, and heard that in the shade of the willows, a branch of red apricot hung down the wall. β
Du Qianjin took the lead in applauding: "That's good, the general and the county lord really have a tacit understanding." β
I'm confused, that "cut" is just a vent of dissatisfaction, how did it become a tacit understanding?
I drank too much tea, my lower abdomen was sore, and I got up to go to the toilet.
Bai Changjian asked me where I was going, I couldn't speak too loudly, so I leaned over and whispered in his ear, I didn't pay attention for a while, I got too close, my lips swept over his earlobe, as if a spark was lit, the ear turned a strange bright red, and then his face also turned red. He was flustered, pretending to drink tea and bowing his head. But when it is exposed, the neck is also red.
I thought it was strange, but if I touched his ear, it would be so red that if I accidentally touched his mouth one day, he wouldn't burn it......
