Chapter 174: Backyard Trickery (1)
The entire hall was silent.
After a while, the female official said, "Can anyone challenge Miss Ye to the poem?" ”
All the young ladies and gentlemen, you look at me, I look at you, no one answers. Although they can also recite poetry and learn literature on weekdays, they are not yet able to read poetry and books, and it is absolutely impossible to surpass the level of Miss Ye's poetry recitation. In that case, why bother to go on stage and ask for self-interest?
After waiting for a while and no one answered, the female officer said again: "Since there is no one to challenge, then according to the rules, Miss Ye will directly enter the next round." Because only Miss Ye is the only one who enters the next round, the position of this first place is naturally Miss Ye. ”
The people in the hall began to whisper again.
Yexi is not depressed. He originally wanted to let Ye Jingjing be in the limelight, but he didn't expect to be pulled out by Ye Mengmeng. He looked at Ye Jingjing and thought to himself, Jingjing has always been arrogant, and this time I am afraid that she will be very angry. Unexpectedly, Ye Jingjing's face looked very calm, without a trace of waves, but the light in her eyes became unusually cold.
Now that Ye Mengmeng has won the first place, the colorful head prepared by Princess Yongan will naturally belong to her.
The color head is a jade Ruyi. Although Jade Ruyi is not a particularly rare treasure, it is a tribute from Fanbang, the whole body is dark green, without a trace of variegation, and it is cold in the palm of the hand, and it is also the best in the appearance of Jade Ruyi.
Although Ye Jingjing did not get the color head, because of her outstanding performance, she also received a special reward from the princess: a butterfly golden hairpin.
The other ladies in the hall were full of envy. Although these two gifts are not particularly rare, because they are given by the princess, they naturally have different meanings.
Princess Yongan ordered the female official to bring the two young ladies to the throne.
The two sisters bent over and blessed.
"I've seen the princess, thank you for the reward."
"Hmm!"
Princess Yong'an said lightly: "Get up, don't thank this palace, this is what you deserve." Looking at Ye Mengmeng quietly, seeing that her eyes were bright and bright, delicate and delicate, and her skin was as delicate and delicate as milk, she couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking that with such a look, she could match the prince, but ......
Zhou Juma said beside him: "It's not easy for your sisters to know so many poems at a young age, and there must be a lot of work on weekdays." It's just that those poems are very unfamiliar, and most of them have never been seen, where did you sisters see them? ”
This is a question that everyone wants to know, so everyone in the banquet hall pricked up their ears.
Ye Jingjing glanced at Ye Mengmeng, her face flushed, but she didn't speak.
Nan Chu still attaches more importance to the order of respect and inferiority, Ye Jingjing is younger than Ye Mengmeng, and she is a concubine, so naturally she can't speak before the eldest sister.
Ye Mengmeng also has the demeanor of an eldest sister, and she has already thought about how to deal with this problem. I saw her smile and said: "Back to the princess, back to the horse master, these poems are not outside, this is the ancestral secret book of our Ye family." ”
"What? It's the first time I've heard of poetry. ”
Zhou Yuma couldn't help laughing, and even the princess couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Joss shook his head with a smirk. This girl, I don't know what to mess with?
I only heard Ye Mengmeng smile and said: "Really, don't lie to you, there is an ancient book at home, which is full of ancient poems." My father said that this book was handed down by our Ye family ancestors, and it can't be bought outside, and he has repeatedly told us not to leak it......" He touched Ye Jingjing's arm as he spoke. "Third sister, right?"
"Uh......" Ye Jingjing suddenly felt like a dream, nodded, and smiled gently. Yes, what the eldest sister said is true. ”
Princess Yongan pursed her lips and smiled: "Since it can't be leaked, why is it leaked today?" ”
Ye Mengmeng stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed: "What's this...... It's also because my sister is eager to win today, that's why she ......."
Zhou Juma pondered for a while and said, "That ancient book in your house, can you borrow it from Zhou to watch it?" ”
"Light reward? This can't be done," Ye Mengmeng shook her head again and again, "I said that it is an ancestral secret book, how can I borrow it?" ”
"This ......," Zhou was speechless for a while.
Ye Jingjing pulled the eldest sister's shirt and said softly: "Eldest sister, didn't my father say before, this book is ancient and modern, every poem is the essence of the essence, he regrets every time he thinks of such a good book but can't make it public, and he also said that if there is a chance in the future, he must let the world see this good book, let the children of the nobles recite it aloud, and pass it on......"
"......" Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but turn her eyes and glared at her, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, so much nonsense...... Where did the ancient books come from? When the time comes, you can't take it out, and you write it to them in the palm of your hand? ”
"Can't take it out...... Then you didn't talk big just now! ”
"You...... Wasn't I forced? ”
Zhou Juma didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two sisters, and immediately rejoiced: "Great." Since your father has this intention, it just so happens that Zhou will let people go to your mansion to pick it up? ”
Zhou Juma is a literary champion, and his favorite thing on weekdays is poetry, and he listened to the wonderful poems recited by the two girls just now, and his heart was itchy and hard to scratch, and he really wanted to read that book immediately.
"Ming'er? Ming'er can't. Ye Mengmeng was taken aback.
"Why? Won't Miss Ye borrow it? "Zhou Juma is not disappointed.
The people in the hall didn't think so, thinking that this Miss Ye really didn't know how to lift, and the princess and his wife wanted to borrow her book, I don't know how much face they gave her, not to mention that others opened their mouths to borrow it, this situation should be actively presented. She's good, it's really hypocritical to push back.
Ye Mengmeng was puzzled: "No, it's not that the courtiers don't want to borrow it, it's just that she has been born for a long time, and the book has been shelved, and there are many books at home, so I'm afraid I have to look for it......"
"That's okay," Zhou Yuma relieved, "but I hope that the eldest lady will take some time to find it after she returns home, and it doesn't hurt for Zhou to wait a few more days." ”
"That'...... All right! Ye Mengmeng couldn't push it, so she had no choice but to nod her head.
At this time, the banquet was over, and the guests dispersed and moved freely in the garden.
At this time, the weather is gradually improving, and the sun is about to come out.
The ladies giggled and ran to the garden in groups.
The backyard of the princess's mansion is very large, with pavilions and beautiful scenery.
Ye Jingjing was also pulled away by several noble girls.
Yexi looked at her back, a little melancholy. I wanted to step forward and say a few words, but there was a lot of inconvenience in front of everyone, so I had to come to a small pavilion next to me to play chess with Zhou Yuma sullenly.
In the banquet hall, only Yeli and Qiao Siyan were left.
Jos said: "Lord Wang, I heard that there is a horse race track in the backyard, why don't we go and have a look?" "After wearing the book, I married the male protagonist, his imperial uncle's paw bookhouse", the latest chapter of the first time to read for free.
