Chapter 734: Poetry Race (2)
"Question 6 - Hide the head - " The center of the second floor has a screen to separate a circle of space for women's fighting poems, one screen is hollowed out of wood to seal the pattern of the lady, from that side it is impossible to see the situation inside, and on both sides in order to facilitate the guests of the private room to watch, a layer of tulle hollow screen is specially selected. In this way, it will not make people feel that the woman is showing her head, nor will it affect the viewing of others.
The little servant who presided over shouted with high interest, took out a lot from the papier-mΓ’chΓ© box in hand, and shouted after unfolding: "Hide your head - four words of spring breeze!" β
There were two rows of girls who had not left the pavilion sitting on either side, and there were four or five people sitting on one side.
As soon as Shi Nian came up, he found that the female envoy had led her to a private room with the best line of sight, and knew at a glance that this must be the handiwork of his second brother, so he was angry and laughed in his heart, and sat down with Chen Zhong.
Not long after he sat down, Chen Zhong began to introduce the girls below to Shi Nian one by one, this one who said 'the face is as red as mellow wine, and the face is swirling with snow flow' is the second girl from the family of the fourth grade Liu Guozi, and the one who made the 'spring breeze peach and plum blossoms bloom at night, and the wind rolls the bead curtain from the top', is the eldest girl from the prince's mansion...... One after the other.
Shi Nian was surprised, and said, "Chen Zhong, you are not very old, how can you recognize the girl who has not been out of the cabinet in Beijing?" β
"Hey, I'm not thinking about finding a good wife for myself," Chen Zhong smiled and ate a glass of wine, "I thought that Zishu, you are also the head of the Pingtou Academy, but on the day you want to release the list, you said that you were from a big family in the Hou Mansion...... You just don't know how angry I was when I knew your identity, the little brother who studied hard with me turned out to be the son of a noble family, which is really annoying! β
Shi Nian had to chuckle twice when he heard this, and raised the wine cup: "Come on, come on, it's me who is hiding my identity wrongly, I salute you with a glass of wine!" β
Chen Zhong snorted with a smile, poured another wine and went to eat.
He also knows that Shi Nian has always had a good demeanor, and the best thing about the women's poetry club is just a gimmick, even if the poems they write are good, they may not be able to get into Shi Nian's eyes.
"Who laughs in the spring breeze, the wind pressure is light and the clouds are flying against the water, the water is fluttering and the color is sending, and the face is sparseββ"
Suddenly, a woman's loud voice came into Shi Nian's ears, he didn't care, but he only felt that the poem was endless, and in the end, the more it tasted, the more flavorful it was, and when he turned his head to look, he could see that the sentence was a girl in plum-colored clothes sitting at the end, and there was a girl in plain clothes standing next to her, I don't know what her identity was.
Chen Zhong saw that Shi Nian was suddenly interested, so he smiled in his heart and said, "This is the girl from the Xunyang Cen family I saidββ"
"The Cen family?"
"Yes, Master Cen was originally the governor of Xunyang, this year this is not the spring transfer to Beijing to be the Shaoqing of Zhengwupin Guanglu Temple, I heard that he just came to Beijing from Xunyang, and the mansions are all new." Chen Zhong said, "The girl in the plum-colored dress seems to be the eldest sister Feiyan from the Cen family, the one on the side...... doesn't look like a subordinate, so it should be the fourth sister Cen Caiwei. β
Shi Nian listened, nodded as if he didn't understand, and still looked down with half his hands on the railing.
The seventh question has been drawn out, and the four words 'Xiusheng reputation' are used as a hideout, and Shi Nian is waiting to hear what kind of sentence the girl from the Cen family will make.
Chen Zhong glanced at the serious expression on Shi Nian's face again, and said with a smile: "This Cen family girl is amazing, the six questions are all the first, I didn't expect that the small place in Xunyang could cultivate such a talented woman." β
The people who listened to the poems were all immersed in the talents of one after another, but Shi Nian keenly caught the uncomfortable expression on Cen Feiyan's face, and then the plain-clothed woman next to her leaned down and said something in her ear, looking at the mouth shape should be a poem.
When it was Cen Feiyan's turn, I saw her get up delicately and paced lightly in the field a few times: "Cultivating Wu Di sighed, the voice was written in Xiangbo green, a glass of wine was greasy, and Yuyao was not abstaining from two thingsββ"
"Good! Good poetry! What a poem! β
As soon as Cen Feiyan's words fell, the long guests cheered and applauded in unison, Shi Nian naturally praised the meaning of this poem, but it was not better, but he just watched the maid lower her head again.
"A glass of wine, a ...... of flowers"
"What's the matter! Brother Zishu, am I right? This Cen girl is very affectionate! Chen Zhong said.
Shi Nian glanced at him and ate another glass of wine, "But I always feel that this 'glass of wine is greasy', not like a poem that a favored concubine can speak......"
"Look at you, you're cranky again, aren't you!"
The seven questions have passed, and the girls of the Cen family have all won the first crown, and everyone has shouted that this hidden head is really boring, and the little guy has to compromise and change the theme poem.
"Guest officers, we don't have a lot of signs for the theme today, so I'll continue to draw the lots, and then don't limit the hiding of the head, how about just debating the theme?" The little guy said with a wry smile.
"Good!"
"Good! Just do it! β
That Cen Feiyan straightened up, suppressed the pride that was about to come out, and said in a suppressed voice to the person next to him: "Hey, you're okay, right?" β
Cen Caiwei pursed her lips slightly, and could only say: "Big sister, my sister has only read a few books, if she doesn't hide her head, she won't have a backbone, and her sister really doesn't dare to guarantee that she can shine again......"
"Hey, it's useless! Just write it for me! Cen Feiyan scolded in a low voice, but her face was on her face, and she didn't show it too conspicuously, "If you make me embarrassed, you wait for me to go back and clean up yours!" β
"......" Cen Caiwei swallowed her saliva and hung her head silently.
Shi Nian, who was sitting on a high place, could only see what the two of them seemed to be saying, but unfortunately he couldn't really hear it.
At this time, the little guy had already chosen the topic, unfolded the sign in his hand and showed it to everyone, and said: "Drunken life, dreams and death - since this is the question, how about choosing the theme of this as 'life and death'?" But the theme can't be like drunken dreams and death, and the girls have to make their own feelings. β
Hearing this, Shi Nian had more expectations in his heart, wanting to see what kind of answer the girl of the Cen family would say.
It's just that when it was Cen Feiyan's turn, Cen Caiwei on the side didn't hang her head, but Cen Feiyan couldn't sit still first, and glared at the girl next to her every other moment, the more it was her turn, the more urgent it became.
"The girl of the Cen family? Miss Cen family, it's your turn. β
Cen Feiyan was stunned, "Huh...... This, this theme poem is not what I am good at, I hope that Mr. Xiao will be free for a while, and the horse will come soon! After that, he glared at Cen Caiwei viciously, "Caiwei! What about poetry? β
"Unknown life, unknown death? Big sister, this poetic sister can't think of a clue, or my sister is smart, just think about it! β
After speaking, Cen Caiwei owed her body, turned her head and ran out.
