Chapter 179

Ah Xing greeted everyone as soon as she arrived. (Apex hand-hitting) while looking at this teahouse. The teahouse has two floors, and the poetry meeting is held on the first floor. The first floor is about two hundred square meters. In the middle of the hall is a front desk of about ten square meters. There was a long table on the stage, and behind the long table sat a few white-bearded, white-haired and serious-looking old men, who seemed to be relatively famous scholars in the capital. There are small round tables around the stage, and as far as the eye can see, there are dozens of tables. The people sitting in the front position are all dignitaries, such as the champion list eye Tanhua, such as the prince and grandson, such as the children of officials above the second grade, etc., and the seats next to the back are the children of officials above the fifth grade, as well as the children of some families, A Xing's position is also among them, because her table is in the brightest place of the light, so it is particularly eye-catching. Then there are the children of some merchants, and there are many students from the Han family standing densely on the outermost periphery. Because it was a poetry meeting hosted and held by Miss Zhang Qingqiu, most of the attendees were young people.

Miss Lu and several other official ladies were greeting with a group of maids, and Miss Zhang Qingqiu had not been seen for the time being.

Because it was a poetry meeting held by Miss Qingqiu, although these official children wanted to stay with Ah Xing for a while, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they just said hello to Ah Xing. and returned to his place. Ah Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table. Seeing that the Chen sisters and Yun Duo were still standing, they all sat down.

Suddenly, the noisy crowd fell silent, and everyone looked at the stairs in unison. Ah Xing followed everyone's gaze and saw a stunning beauty coming down the stairs. Needless to say, the facial features are delicate and beautiful, but what is rare is that this beauty always seems to be pregnant with a smile at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, giving people a sense of approachability and making people feel good. She was wearing a white smoke gauze shirt, and when she walked to the light yarn, she was like a fairy falling from the sky, and everyone downstairs showed amazing expressions.

Ah Xing knew that this was Zhang Xiang's daughter, Zhang Zhao's sister, and the famous Miss Zhang Qingqiu. From time to time, someone in the crowd excitedly called her name, "Miss Qingqiu, Miss Qingqiu!" "The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Compared with the sensation caused by Ah Xing's arrival just now, it is even better.

A young lady next to Ah Xing raised her voice and said, "This is the real beauty, noble and elegant, and talented." Miss Zhang Qingqiu is a master of piano, chess, poetry and painting, and all of them are fine! Saying that, she glanced at Ah Xing with disdain, "Some women who don't know the so-called still want to compare with Miss Qingqiu, it's really self-defeating, shameless!" The tone was very unkind. Her words caused a burst of laughter among the young ladies around her, and they couldn't help but look at Ah Xing.

The clouds changed color slightly, and whispered to Ah Xing, "Who are they talking about?" ”

Ah Xing smiled faintly, she didn't care, she pressed Yunduo's hand and comforted: "I didn't name anyone." Who do they say? "Signal the clouds don't need to pay attention, these people, I'm afraid they can't hold their breath anymore, it's not as good as they want!

Ah Xing and Yun Duo continued to look at Zhang Qingqiu, as if they hadn't heard their sarcasm. Those ladies were waiting for Ah Xing to fight, but Ah Xing didn't respond, and she felt bored, so she scolded the coward in a low voice, and she didn't bother to talk to Ah Xing.

Zhang Qingqiu, who was in front, slowly walked to the middle stage, first said a word of thanking everyone for coming, and then introduced several old gentlemen on the stage. It turned out that these people were all invited by Zhang Qingqiu to comment on poetry, either they were bachelors who resigned from their official positions, or masters from famous academies, they were all people with great backgrounds, and Zhang Qingqiu was able to invite them, and his face was not small.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and after a while, the crowd parted from the middle. Get out of the way, and at the end of the road, Prince Burtai, dressed in black, walked in with Zhang Zhao with a smile on his face. After they approached, Zhang Qingqiu greeted him, saluted Prince Burtai and said words of thanks. Zhang Zhao introduced his sister to Burtai. Bultai faced the most famous beauty in the Tang Kingdom, and his words and expressions still maintained etiquette, without the slightest gaffe. Zhang Qingqiu asked them to sit down in the front row.

Their position is not far from the front row of A-Xing.

After Bultai sat down, he suddenly glanced back and found A-Xing's location, smiled at her, and waved his hand, which was regarded as a greeting. Ah Xing smiled and bowed to him, but felt very strange in his heart, Bultai had not looked at her since he came in, how could he find her location so quickly and accurately?

Next to him, Zhang Zhao also saw Ah Xing through Bultai, immediately waved his hand, and motioned for her to sit at his table, Ah Xing shook her head again and again, thinking to herself, just about to sit down, tomorrow she will be drowned by the saliva of the nobles of Tiandu! Zhang Zhao saw that she refused to sit down, and his face was a little disappointed.

At this time, Zhang Qingqiu, who had been smiling, suddenly showed a special look on her face, and then she walked through the crowd to the door. Everyone's eyes followed her, but they saw her go all the way to the gate and salute the man who had just entered the door very gracefully.

From the poetry meeting to the present, everyone has never seen Miss Qingqiu treat a person so solemnly, and they can't help but wonder who got Miss Zhang Qingqiu's favor? Then he looked at the person who came, and saw that the person who came was tall and straight. Brown hair and blue eyes, extremely handsome face. There was an air of indifference all over the body. Even when I saw Miss Zhang Qingqiu, I only greeted her politely, and this indifference was not reduced by Miss Zhang Qingqiu's enthusiasm.

Someone in the crowd immediately revealed the identity of the person who came: "It's Lord Shen, and the newly appointed Jingwei will only know Lord Tongzhi!" Many people's faces showed respectful eyes, you must know that the commander of Jingwei is from the third grade, holding the military power, this Lord Shen is not very old but can sit in such a high position, it is really admirable.

Some people also whispered unconvinced: "Lord Shen is the son of King Jin, so he will naturally rise step by step!" ”

When someone even retorted: "Lord Shen's ascension is not entirely due to the King of Jin, but mainly because of his great achievements in the battle with the Garan Kingdom!" ”

"Even if he has made great contributions on the battlefield, he should be promoted in the army, but he can return to the capital as a third-rank official, do you think that there is no credit for King Jin?"

These words are not unreasonable, and everyone is silent at the moment.

Ah Xing and the others at the table were stunned when they saw everyone coming, and Ah Xing immediately lowered her head, and there was no special expression on her face. Chen Jing looked at the man, then at Ah Xing, and sighed softly. And Chen Ying looked at Shen Yuanfeng's figure and muttered: "Why did this guy come to participate in the poetry meeting?" Could it be that he can also write poetry? ”

Yun Duo clenched A-Xing's hand. Ah Xing raised her head and looked at the clouds, smiled softly, and said, "Don't worry, I don't care." ”

Yun Duo looked at Shen Yuanfeng and Zhang Qingqiu not far away. frowned: "They seem to know each other." What are they talking about? ”

Ah Xing couldn't help but look at them, but saw that Zhang Qingqiu's face had a touch of shyness, and when she was talking to Shen Yuanfeng, her eyes were shining, and Ah Xing, who was a person in two lives, could naturally see that this was the expression of an emotional woman when she faced her sweetheart.

Ah Xing's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Shen Yuanfeng, but saw that his expression was as usual, although his eyes were not the kind of cold when facing him, but there was no temperature, and Ah Xing's heart was slightly lowered. Then I smiled bitterly: What am I worried about? Sooner or later, he will have to marry and have children. Sooner or later, he will fall in love with someone else, look a little away, look a little away!

Although she was constantly reminding herself in her heart, looking at the picture of him standing with Zhang Qingqiu, her heart was very uncomfortable.

As if sensing Ah Xing's gaze, Shen Yuanfeng suddenly looked at Ah Xing's side, and Ah Xing hurriedly turned his head when he saw him. Shen Yuanfeng happened to catch her turning her head.

Zhang Qingqiu beside him was speaking to him softly: "Qingqiu hasn't thanked Lord Shen for saving his life, if it weren't for Lord Shen who pulled Qingqiu's frightened horse in time during the last hunt, Qingqiu is now afraid that he is no longer alive, Lord Shen's great kindness, Qingqiu is unforgettable!" ”

Shen Yuanfeng moved his gaze back, looked at Zhang Qingqiu and smiled lightly: "It's just that the effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about it, Miss Qingqiu is too polite." The rest of his eyes paid attention to Ah Xing's side.

Shen Yuanfeng's sudden smile made Zhang Qingqiu's cheeks blush, she lowered her head slightly, and her shy and charming appearance was very moving. "Lord Shen, please sit here."

Shen Yuanfeng followed Zhang Qingqiu to the front row, but saw Zhang Zhao stand up and say to Shen Yuanfeng, "Lord Shen, it's better to sit with us." Bultai looked at Shen Yuanfeng, and also stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Shen Yuanfeng looked at Bultai, thinking about the recent rumors about him and Ah Xing in Beijing, his eyes sank slightly, and he smiled coldly, "It's okay!" He sat down across from Bourtai.

Bourtai looked at him, a smile on his lips.

The guests were almost there, and Zhang Qingqiu took the stage to announce the official start of the poetry meeting.

She said to everyone with a smile: "This poetry meeting was planned by many friends in Qingqiu. Strive to bring you a different poetry meeting from previous years, so that everyone can show their talents at the same time, you can also get more happiness here! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered for their face, and some people shouted in the audience: "Whatever Miss Qingqiu says, we will do it, all listen to Miss Qingqiu's arrangement!" The rest chimed in.

Zhang Qingqiu smiled delicately, at this time she was like a pearl in the dark, exuding a dazzling light, attracting the hearts of everyone present. In addition to Bultai, except for Shen Yuanfeng.

From time to time, Bultai would turn his head to look at A-Xing, and sometimes he would lean over and say a word or two to her. Ah Xing didn't want to ignore him, so she had to entertain him with a smile, and the young lady next to her saw this scene, although she didn't dare to say insulting words in front of Burtai, she threw a roll of her eyes at Ah Xing from time to time.

Although Shen Yuanfeng reminded himself from time to time not to care, and forced himself not to turn back once, his ears involuntarily listened carefully to every sentence of their conversation, listening to Ah Xing talking to Bultai gently, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

On the stage, Zhang Qingqiu continued: "First of all, according to the usual rules, everyone will compose a proposition poem first. We will give each person a piece of paper, everyone will write down the good sentence in their hearts, and after they are written, they will send it to everyone to enjoy together! ”

As she spoke, a maid spread paper on the long table on the stage and placed the four treasures of the study. Zhang Qingqiu, under the service of the maid, wrote a word calmly with a brush. Then the maid smiled and showed the paper in front of people, only to see a beautiful "moon" on the snow-white paper, the handwriting was delicate and refreshing, faintly revealing an atmosphere, which attracted everyone's admiration.

Zhang Qingqiu's face was crimson, and he couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuanfeng quietly, thinking that he would see the same expression of appreciation on his face, but seeing that he lowered his head and didn't look at her side at all, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.

She turned her head and looked at everyone and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the reunion of the people and the moon, of course, our poetry will be inseparable from this theme, this time the proposition is 'month', I hope you can make a good sentence that will last for a hundred years!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Miss Lu shouted in the audience: "Sister Qingqiu's poetry is unique, why don't you come first and cheer for us sisters, how about it?" Zhang Qingqiu has been worshipping a famous teacher since she was a child, and her poetic attainments are as famous as her beauty, Miss Lu's move is intended to make Zhang Qingqiu stand out in front of everyone. As soon as these words came out, those noble ladies who were good friends with Zhang Qingqiu echoed them.

Zhang Qingqiu's face was gloomy, but when she saw that the people in the audience were looking at her, the women all had an expression of admiration, and the man was even more adoring, and she was really happy, she looked at Shen Yuanfeng, her eyes rolled, and she said: "Everyone's respect and love, Qingqiu is ashamed, even so, Qingqiu dare not refuse, so she has to offer her ugliness!" ”

At that moment, there was a maid who laid paper and grinded for her, Zhang Qingqiu picked up the pen, thought about it for a while, and wrote poems on the paper with confidence. From the pen to the end, it is less than a stick of incense.

The maid showed the paper to the front of the people, and even if someone read it out loud in the audience

"The hook is small, and the fan chases the Han machine group. The thin shadow will be round, how many places in the world can you see?"

As soon as the poem was read, not only did everyone in the audience marvel, but even the old scholars sitting on the stage couldn't help touching their beards and couldn't help but keep their chins. Although Ah Xing doesn't know how to compose poetry, she has always liked to read poetry in her previous life, so she also knows that Zhang Qingqiu's poem is really a masterpiece. Zhang Qingqiu's title of talented woman is by no means in vain.

Bultai couldn't help but admire: "I can't imagine that there are a lot of strange women in the Tang Kingdom, first I was amazed by the intelligence and talent of Miss Axing, and now the poems of this Qingqiu girl are also amazing!" ”

Zhang Zhao didn't mind that the other party ranked his sister's name after A Xing, and he replied with a smile: "I didn't expect that the prince also studied poetry. ”

Bourtai smiled and replied, "There is no research, it's just that I can just appreciate the masterpiece of Miss Qingqiu." ”

At this time, Shen Yuanfeng, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and said: "In my opinion, a person's wisdom and ability are far less important than a person's conduct!" He turned his head to look at Ah Xing and sneered, with obvious disdain in his eyes: "I wonder if Miss Ah Xing disagrees with what I said?" ”

Ah Xing's heart was full of sourness. Yun Duo and the Chen sisters both had sad expressions on their faces, Chen Ying even had the urge to say everything, but Ah Xing grabbed her under the table, Chen Ying sighed and lowered her head dejectedly.

Ah Xing smiled reluctantly and said softly, "Lord Shen is naturally reasonable. ”

Shen Yuanfeng looked at her, her eyes were still as clear as water, pure and bright, without a trace of impurities, once these eyes looked at him with tenderness like water, but at this time they were indifferent, as if she was looking at a very ordinary, unimportant thing.

The smile on the corner of Shen Yuanfeng's mouth was unsustainable, and gradually became indifferent, and he turned his head. humiliated her, not only did he not get the slightest relief in his heart, but became even more uncomfortable.

Something that doesn't make a difference! He cursed himself.

After Zhang Qingqiu accepted everyone's appreciation, he suddenly took the poem from the maid's hand, and then got off the stage and walked towards Zhang Zhao's table.

Everyone looked at her with wide eyes, not knowing what she was going to do.

Zhang Qingqiu held the paper with poems written in his hand, walked in front of Shen Yuanfeng in front of everyone, stopped, bent down slightly, and handed the poems in his hands to Shen Yuanfeng.

She raised her head lightly and looked at Shen Yuanfeng, her beautiful face revealed a faint flush, her eyes were watery, and she seemed to contain a thousand words, which was enough to make any man's heart beat when he saw it.

She looked at him with this kind of gaze, then her lips opened lightly, and she said softly: "The grace of the adult to save his life, Qingqiu cannot repay it." Qingqiu is now giving this poem to adults, hoping that adults will not dislike it. ”

If this kind of thing of sending poems in public was done by Ah Xing, he would definitely be scolded as a fox spirit and seduce men in public, but now that Zhang Qingqiu has done it, it has become an elegant thing in everyone's eyes.

Sometimes, people's background power will subtly influence people's thoughts.

was given a poem in public by the most beautiful woman in the Tang Kingdom, although it was not a love poem, but it still made these men envious, and everyone couldn't help but envy Shen Yuanfeng's good life, and he was able to save Miss Qingqiu by chance.

Shen Yuanfeng was very passive by Zhang Qingqiu's move, accept it, I am afraid that I will inevitably be involved with Miss Zhang in the future. He didn't want to get too close to these nobles in the capital. Because his father seems to have intended to choose a wife for him among these noble daughters in the capital. But if you don't accept it, won't it make her unable to step down in public? Just as he was hesitating, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Ah Xing's gaze, and somehow, Shen Yuanfeng took Zhang Qingqiu's poems and said: "Miss Qingqiu is talented, and it is Shen's honor to be able to get the girl's handwritten poems." ”

Zhang Qingfang's face was happy, her eyes flashed with moving brilliance, she saluted Shen Yuanfeng, and slowly returned to the front desk.

Ah Xing watched him take Zhang Qingqiu's poems, then sat down, admired them carefully, showed appreciation on his face, and praised in his mouth: "Sure enough, it's a good word, a good poem." ”

Zhang Zhao said with a smile at this time: "It's so beautiful!" Lord Shen, let me secretly reveal to you that my sister has never given her calligraphy and paintings to any man, but you are the first person! I won't say much about the deep meaning, Lord Shen himself experienced! As he spoke, he patted Shen Yuanfeng's shoulder and laughed.

Burtai also smiled and said: "Lord Tongzhi is so blessed, so that Xiao Wang is envious!" ”

Shen Yuanfeng smiled and didn't say anything.

Ah Xing looked at the smile on his face, and there was a tearing pain in his heart. She lowered her head, her nose and eyes were a little sour, and the corners of her mouth became extremely stiff.
