Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Second Sister Has No Talent to Compete

"It seems that the outcome of the first question has been decided." After taking a deep look at Jiao Yuzhen's poems, Lord Wenyu stood up from his chair, "The winners of the first question are Jiao Yuzhen and Du Chenghuan. The lord of this county gave Miss Jiao San a pair of agate blessing earrings, and gave Du Chenghuan's son a moonlight inkstone in the lotus pond. ”

The things rewarded by the county lord of Wenyu are not valuable in Jiao Yuzhen's opinion, but since they all say that they are "meeting friends with literature" here, it is not good if they use very expensive gifts, after all, for people here, it is more important to be able to enter the palace.

The county lord of Wenyu announced that there were only two winners of the first question, but it did not mean that the others were not rewarded, as if the top five were to be selected, the county lord of Wenyu also praised the remaining four men and four women, including Mo Yuyun and Jiao Youhan.

Many people think that today's Jiao Taifu Mansion has taken all the face, but after seeing Jiao Yuzhen receive the last time, he did not stand with Jiao Youhan, but with Tan Xixuan and Geng Jinghe, many people know in their hearts, it seems that this is a battle between two concubines in Jiao Taifu's Mansion, but everyone understands in their hearts that if Jiao Yuzhen does not have enough talent to make a name for herself here, the next poetry banquet will definitely not have her share.

"My sister is so powerful, although many people's poems have caught the end of the year, but only my sister's poems have touched the lotus drain, and it is also associated with the end of the year, and more importantly, the word is written so well!" Geng Jinghe shouted excitedly.

Jiao Yuzhen was also very satisfied with her performance, she finally came up with such a poem, but she still said it very modestly: "I'm just lucky, in fact, Miss Mo's poems are the best, I'm just lucky that the county lord and the scholar Qi like it, I hope the second question won't be too difficult." ”

"Yes, I still hope that the second question is not too difficult, otherwise I will be outstanding but will be suppressed by others, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly." Mo Yuyun said as he walked in front of Jiao Yuzhen, "Miss Jiao San may be hidden deeply, but sometimes it is better not to leak, lest people think that what you are missing is only the hand behind you." ”

Mo Yuyun's voice was neither high nor low, but it also made everyone present hear it clearly, in fact, many people knew that Mo Yuyun was not a broad-minded person, but she had a father who was still a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and her father was a person who seized the right to decide on various construction projects in Qingguo, and she was also very close to Prince Ze, that is, Mo Zize, and a confidante of the confidante, so everyone was unwilling to offend her, so seeing that she was squeezing Jiao Yuzhen in and out of her words, everyone just smiled and watched the show.

"Miss Mo, that's not right." Jiao Youhan walked out of the crowd and spoke directly for Jiao Yuzhen, "Sister Yuzhen has actually been studying poetry and books diligently, and she has never been inferior to me, but in the past, the eldest sister made it difficult, so she had to pretend to be crazy and stupid." Now that she has come with me to the poetry banquet, her talent naturally cannot be hidden. Miss Mok can wait and see who is the best person to win the triple crown today. ”

Jiao Yuzhen looked at Jiao Youhan with some surprise, she didn't expect Jiao Youhan to actually help herself speak, but she thought about it, after all, "it depends on the owner to beat the dog", Mo Yuyun humiliated her and humiliated Jiao Taifufu's mansion, Jiao Youhan naturally couldn't wipe off her face, and Jiao Youhan was not only helping her speak, but also helping herself speak, and she also successfully smeared Jiao Ruzhi's reputation.

All right...... In fact, Jiao Ruzhi's reputation has never been very good!

Mo Yuyun glared at Jiao Youhan fiercely, and then squeezed out a somewhat hideous smile: "I, wait and see how you are replaced by your own sister." With that, she turned and walked away.

Jiao Youhan's expression remained unchanged, she looked at Jiao Yuzhen beside her, and smiled kindly: "Sister, don't worry, just enjoy the poetry banquet." Sister, I don't want others to say that your works are all from my hands, I still avoid suspicion and walk away, you have to work hard yourself. ”

"Yes, second sister." Jiao Yu Zhen nodded with a smile, this Jiao Youhan has to say a word, isn't it telling everyone that her works are actually from Jiao Youhan's own hands? is really a smiling tiger, a ruthless character who hides a knife in his smile.

Jiao Youhan smiled and walked away, she just made a move to make the men who were already admiring her support her more enthusiastically, so that Mo Yuyun, who was comforted by Jimo Zize on the side, almost wrung the handkerchief in his hand.

After a moment of rest, some maids took pastries and drank tea to each small table in the courtyard to send over, Tan Xixuan and Geng Jinghe, who were already sitting with Jiao Yuzhen, inevitably looked at the gifts they had received from Jiao Yuzhen before, and now they saw Jiao Yuzhen coming to the limelight before approaching the female dependents, although such a thing was inevitable, but they were still a little unhappy in their hearts, this small table that could only allow four people to sit flat was sitting seven people in front of and back!

Jiao Yuzhen was very happy in her heart, although the status of the female dependents who sat here was not high, but she was very rich and easy to coax, and a few words made them like the jewelry she said, and everyone talked happily.

The county lord of Wenyu saw that all the people present had already taken their seats, so he also walked onto the stone platform: "Then the county lord will come up with the second question, and the second question is 'Hanzhu Festival'." ”

Jiao Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, compared to the first question, the second question is much simpler, isn't it Yongzhu, she remembers countless Yongzhu's poems.

Because of the simple topic, there were many people vying to come to the stage this time, but in a moment, seven or eight more people came to the stage, but Jiao Youhan took the stage before Mo Yuyun.

"The branches of the wind are weakening, and the shadow of the fog is thicker. Mochizuki dances, bowing his head and the frost and snow are heavy. ”

Jiao Youhan's poems are really not good, but they can be said to be relatively close, as Gongsun Yi'an said, Jiao Youhan is really vain, Jiao Yuzhen is thinking in his heart, and he saw Mo Yuyun followed Jiao Youhan on the stone platform, and what else he said when he passed by Jiao Youhan, which made Jiao Youhan's face alternate with blue and white.

"Though there are knots on the outside, there is nothing on the inside. Just to compete for favor, I want to make a new book. ”

Mo Yuyun's poem was staring at Jiao Youhan and said, the people present were all literati, so they naturally understood that Mo Yuyun was satirizing Jiao Youhan in front of everyone, and the font was still a little sloppy when he wrote it, so when this poem was sent to the county lord of Wenyu and Qi Yuange, it made them frown for a while.

Maybe Mo Yuyun found that he still had no chance of winning, so he planned to break the jar and break it? After all, this poem satirizes Jiao Youhan, so why not satirize himself?

Jiao Yuzhen shook his head lightly, these women...... Regarded this poetry banquet as a place to attack each other, but this was a place for her to be in the limelight!

After Mo Yuyun came down, Du Chenghuan rushed to the stage before Jiao Yuzhen, and Jiao Yuzhen, who had just stood up from his position, had to sit down silently.

Du Chenghuan seemed to find that he had snatched Jiao Yuzhen's position, so he smiled apologetically, and then hugged his fist at Jiao Yuzhen, and after seeing Jiao Yuzhen bow his head and salute in return, he walked to the desk and picked up the pen: "The frost urges the head to be firmer, and the snow pressure the heart is more empty." Laugh at the cold in the cold, and the wind in the wind. ”

"It's so well written......" Lord Wenyu didn't need to read the words, just this poem made her sigh, she turned her head sideways and said to Qi Yuange beside her, "This Du Gongzi has the world in his heart, no matter how you look at it, he is the pillar of the country." ”

"The old minister thinks so." Qi Yuange pinched his white beard and smiled happily, "It's been a long time since there has been such a talent, he has the world in mind and is strong." This Du Gongzi has never been famous in the city, if he doesn't come from other places, he must be from a poor family. Your Highness, how did you get him here this time? ”

The county lord of Wenyu shook his head slightly: "This time the county lord sees that it is a year-end poetry banquet, and in the past two years, he has not found a person who can make the imperial brother take a fancy to him, so this time the door is wide open, there is no need for invitations, and literati who have confidence in themselves can participate." This Du Gongzi is plainly dressed, and he should have been born in cloth, so he was able to appear here this time because of the help of the county lord and his creation. ”

Qi Yuange nodded: "Your Highness, this Du Gongzi is talented, it would be a pity if he buried the market." Presumably, the emperor will be very happy to see him. ”

"In addition to him, I think that Miss Jiao San will also make the emperor like it, but the emperor has already pointed her out to Prince Jing before he saw her, if he takes her into the palace...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

"The lord of the county means ......"

"Even if she wins the poetry banquet, the lord of this county will not take her into the palace." As he spoke, Lord Wenyu looked at Jiao Yuzhen, who walked up to the stone platform, "Don't enter the palace...... It's the best for her. ”

Jiao Yuzhen picked up the pen on the desk of the stone platform, and the pen was a thin gold font, such a font has the style of bamboo, although she followed Du Chenghuan, who had the best literary talent, to the stage It was really a bit of a loss, but her words can definitely make up for this, and isn't it still divided into men's and women's groups?

"The Frost Festival, repair the jade snow body. There is no text and can be used, and it is intentional to convey God. ”

Seeing the poems presented by the maid, Lord Wenyu sighed lightly: "If a woman is like this, if she is in the palace, she should naturally be a talent in the world, but marrying Prince Jing is also a blessing for Prince Jing." ”

Jiao Yuzhen came down from the stone platform, she noticed that the eyes of everyone in the audience were mixed with a lot of complex emotions, and some people may question that her poems were helped by Jiao Youhan, although she did not make it herself, but she found it from ancient poems, but her font was unheard of by others, and she had never seen it, so it was completely different twice in a row, but the same excellent font, which was enough to impress everyone.

"My sister is amazing." Geng Jinghe's admiration for Jiao Yuzhen has reached a new height, she is not only generous, but also so good to everyone, and her writing is outstanding, she is really a model of everyone's beauty.

"I'm just writing at random, in fact, I must say that poetry is indeed better than Miss Mo, and compared with that Du Gongzi, it can't be compared." Jiao Yuzhen sat back in his place, he said modestly, but in fact, he was happy in his heart, although Xin Pengyi gave her a box of jewelry, but it was a prop for her to carry out interpersonal relationships, and it could not be exchanged for money, but the rewards of the county lord of Wenyu could be exchanged for money, of course...... It would be better if the money was given directly.

As Jiao Yuzhen expected, she and Du Chenghuan won the second game together, although there were some other people, but what gave her and Du Chenghuan was the most expensive gift.
