Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Chrysanthemum Feast
Heng Xinyuan glanced at her strangely: "So it has nothing to do with you, first, you are already a wife, and there is no young guy to attract you, secondly", Heng Xinyuan glanced at her teasingly, "Poetry and poetry should have nothing to do with you!" ”
Hehe, underestimate her?
Show your hands!
"Ahem", Wan Bingyu cleared his throat and glanced at Heng Xinyuan contrivedly: "Drink the fall of Mulan in the morning, and fall in the autumn chrysanthemum at night." ”
"Ahem", huh? Why didn't it happen? Don't you think these two sentences of mine are wonderful?
Heng Xinyuan was inexplicably looked at, and touched his wife's head: "Well, yes, Dr. Qu's words are well recited." ”
Wan Bingyu was stunned, and asked cautiously, "Have you heard this word .......?" ”
Heng Xinyuan was inexplicable: "Why haven't you heard of it?" ”
Wan Bingyu didn't believe in evil, and read again: "Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come back to chrysanthemums." ”
Heng Xinyuan smiled: "Madam, are you testing me?" ‘’
Mencius's poems are also well remembered. ‘’
"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan."
"Madame still reads Tao Yuanming's poems?"
Wan Bingyu's face was expressionless: I'm not worthy of bothering. It was I who drifted away, thinking that I had received twelve years of compulsory education, and disturbed.
Heng Xinyuan's face was inexplicable, and he saw that his wife's face gradually turned expressionless, and his heart was dead.
Is...... The more you look at it, the better it looks.
My wife is a good-looking type, and the more I look at the bun face, the more I want to pinch it.
I thought so in my heart, so I naturally did it in my hands.
He had no idea that his wife was regretting that she had missed the opportunity to become a generation of female writers and be recorded in the history books with Li Qingzhao.
…….
Over there, Wu simply reported his thoughts to the prince.
The prince asked, "Heng Xinyuan has had contact with Wen Wenxiu?" “
Wu replied honestly: "I haven't had any contact for the time being, but when the minister was in Dali Temple, he heard Wen Wenxiu praise Heng Xinyuan many times and praised Heng Xinyuan as a talented person. ’”
Especially when you give examples and use them to scold yourself. Wu thought with a blank face.
The prince sneered, "Then do as you say, but do it a little better." How to do it yourself, plan it yourself, and talk to the crown princess. ‘’
For such unpopular tricks, the prince's practice is not eye-catching.
"Yes." Wu replied conscientiously.
Finally, it was the day of the chrysanthemum viewing party.
The ministers came early, and the young officials, or the children of the ministers' families, occupied the feng shui treasure land early, and you can see the feng shui treasure land of the beautiful woman. Pretending to chant poetry.
Beauties from all walks of life dress up early. After all, this is an annual royal official chrysanthemum blind date that can be seen by such a talented person, and it would be a good conversation if you could meet your favorite guy here.
In the open back garden, the emperor and the concubines sat in the pavilion, the ministers and princes sat at the bottom, and the two rows were set up with flowing water.
The emperor first raised his glass: "Zhong Aiqing, today is the annual chrysanthemum festival, the queen hosted this banquet, one of them, it is Zhong Aiqing who has worked hard, so the Ministry of Rites specially sent fresh Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs that were salvaged yesterday from the Yangcheng Lake area, which can be regarded as a reward for the ministers' hard work for half a year." ’
The ministers hurriedly raised their glasses, and said that they didn't dare to dare.
The emperor continued: "The second is that this year's back garden has cultivated many new varieties of chrysanthemums, call everyone to come, but also to appreciate it, chrysanthemums are the four gentlemen in the flowers, not only good-looking, the meaning is more profound, I hope that Aiqing can be open-minded after seeing it, some of the previous political discord, today take this opportunity, but also take a step back, the sea and the sky, don't make the court above the same as the vegetable market, too noisy." ”
The ministers at the table said in unison, "The ministers obey the order."
"This third, this is also a good opportunity for a party, right, Zhong Aiqing is not married, Zhong Aiqing's family still has school-age children, take this opportunity to take advantage of it, don't live up to this good year hahahahahaha."
The atmosphere suddenly came alive.
The emperor drank a glass of wine: "Zhong Aiqing, this cup is dry!" ”
"!"
Wan Bingyu thought in his heart that the world is really the same, isn't this just a good way to drink with the boss of the mid-year meeting, and second, what else has not been done well, and third, everyone eats and drinks well.
Hahahahaha
Then the emperor waved his sleeves and left, leaving the queen in charge of the overall situation.
As soon as the top boss left, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Everyone eats crabs and eats crabs, drinks wine, and appreciates chrysanthemums, of course, the most important and attractive activity is naturally the poetry and beauty of the talented people and talented women.
Wan Bingyu had never seen a gathering of talented and beautiful women in ancient times, and at this time, he wanted to take a look at it anywhere. So I ran excitedly this way and that way.
Heng Xinyuan couldn't hold him, thinking that nothing could happen to this imperial garden, so he went with her.
He sat silently at the table, holding eight pieces of crabs, and quietly helped Bingyu remove the crab meat and crab paste separately.
At this time, Wan Bingyu happened to be watching the excitement in the pile of talented women. They're competing for talent. Although they are all talking about each other, they all show their eyesight for the first place. At present, everyone is crossing the sea against a pot of Yaotai jade phoenix and eight immortals, each showing their magical powers.
I saw that pot of Yaotai jade phoenix, the whole body is snow-white, only the heart of the flower is a little yellow, layer upon layer, really like a Yaotai fairy graceful and luxurious.
The talented women racked their brains, and finally the two came up with a poem, the two painted, and one sat down with the guqin, looking like he was going to play a song directly.
In the end, it was a famous Manli girl who won the first place, only to see that she was wearing a gold silk emerald green figure-eight cardigan, a pair of dark silver thread peony layered dark white pleats, a three-silk thread green emerald green green jade step on the head, and a pair of emerald jade Buddha words hanging ornament on the neck, but the whole person looked delicate but not rich.
The first prize is a painting painted by this girl, on which a Yaotai jade phoenix stands proudly, the whole picture is full and powerful, and some listless, or small and weak flowers in the distance set off the pride of this flower.
Wan Bingyu asked the onlookers curiously: "Who is this girl who has come out on top, born so good-looking and so talented?" ”
The onlookers suddenly became lively and talked to Wan Bingyu.
The onlookers whispered: "You are new to the capital, this is Yuan Suzhi, the first talented woman in the capital." His father is the upright, iron-faced and selfless Lord Qingyuan of Dali Temple in Beijing. It can be said that he was born in a famous family and has a very good upbringing. ”
Oops, this pretty girl even has such a nice name.
