Chapter 24: The Feast at the Hongmen

Zhifeng Xian held Zihao in his hand, and said humbly: "Fang Cai, the county lord of Xiangning quoted two sentences from the sage Confucius's "Family Language", which are not original, so I will create two sentences at will." ”

Su Ziyu smiled lightly, and her eyes showed the mentality of watching a good show, write it, I will see how you write.

Miao Zhifeng picked up his long sleeves and waved his pen. "Draw the glory of heaven, and draw the song of elegance; The fragrant grass of Mu Lanze is miserable. The improvised four sentences are on paper.

King Sheng saw it and couldn't help but praise: "The chapter grass is falling, flying white and slender." The penmanship is like a person, and it is really wonderful. ”

"Oh? His Royal Highness King Sheng also likes calligraphy? Miao Zhifeng saw the four princes casting admiring glances, as if he was very interested in her words.

"I also read it occasionally, so I know a little bit about it. However, when it comes to Zhang Cao, you are still not as proficient as your sixth brother and sister. Chapter grass, also known as 'today's grass' in ancient times, will be very few people, with your age, there is this point to learn, it is really rare. I don't know which calligrapher I have inherited? ”

Zhifeng is still humble: "I don't dare to learn, I have been working behind closed doors since I was a child, and I have been taught by Zhang Ping's old man." ”

Chu Yan said: "There is an old saying: those who are good at writing have many bones, and those who are rich in strength are sacred." ”

Zhifeng also said: "The master taught me that the first is to use the pen, the second is to know the situation, and the third is to bind, and then to keep the book, that is, to keep one way, that is, not to get it." ”

Chu Yan talked about calligraphy with great interest, and for the first time, someone surprised him: "Horizontal like a thousand miles of clouds, folded like a hundred crossbows." ”

If Chu Yan thought she was simple, cute and unique when he first met her before, then this time, he refreshed his understanding of her, she was free, free-spirited, delicate, beautiful, talented and so on, like a magnet, and was firmly attracted by her.

"It's just a reversal of the pen, only a shallow learner, and His Royal Highness King Sheng has won the award." Miao Zhifeng put the pen on the inkstone and ended the competition. For her, it is just a small test, and there is no challenge at all, but for such things as learning and art, there is no end, and she does not dare to be arrogant.

Su Ziyu made the east and gave up the limelight to others, but she had no choice but to say that the words were really good, and she originally wanted to see Miao Zhifeng come out of the ocean, but instead of that, she elevated her. I used to see that Miao Zhifeng was young and had a tricky personality, thinking that she was just a barbaric princess who didn't know anything, obviously not knowing that she didn't show her dew, and as soon as she made a move, she would explode into harm.

"A hot-tempered woman, would you still do this?" Yelu Wuxian came over, and also expressed surprise, he picked up the paper, tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, he didn't recognize a single Chinese character, but seeing people boasting so much, it seemed to be quite good.

Qingli felt that Yelu Wuxian was an ignorant bun, so he praised his princess to the sky: "Our princess knows a lot, I have studied calligraphy for twelve years, do you think I learned it in vain?" ”

Oh my God, Yelu Wuxian thinks that the literary education in the Central Plains is too strict, isn't it cruel to treat a woman like this?

How did he know that the wonderful wind was to be able to go out of the palace to play, but he couldn't help but learn no skills, so his father invited her to invite a calligraphy master to teach her, since she was a child, she was too diligent in doing homework when she was young, and ran out of the palace after handing it over. I don't think it's cruel, after all, you can go out to play after handing in your homework, how interesting it is, even her father said that she was free-range.

The cherry blossom viewing party swept the prosperity of Xiangning, and the others, those who want to enjoy can continue to enjoy, but everyone has no special projects, and they have communicated with each other, and they have dispersed.

After that, King Sheng warmly invited Miao Zhifeng to his mansion as a guest, saying that it was difficult for the queen to leave the palace once, and she was also an elegant person, so he invited her to come over the mansion.

Miao Zhifeng agreed happily, detoured to Zhu Ji Restaurant, hugged a pot of pear blossoms and got drunk, and went with it.

Seeing this, Chu Yan teased her: "Haha, sixth brother and sister, you are young, why do you love wine so much." ”

"Your Highness told me to stop the wind." Zhifeng opened the cork of the wine, handed it to him, and said, "You smell it, there is also the fragrance of pear blossoms, it is so fragrant, I will get drunk if I don't drink it." ”

Chu Yan sniffed, the taste of this wine was very good, and he also said to her: "Then don't be too angry with me, call me Fourth Brother or Chu Yan, I am not a few years older than you." ”

"Good Lat! Fourth brother. Zhifeng got closer to Chu Yan and put him step by step into her "white rabbit nest".

They were late, and the queen sat bored on the couch in the side hall, squinting her eyes and resting, and they were all about to fall asleep, when footsteps sounded.

Chu Yan walked in bypassing the Cuizhu Daishan screen at the door, and said apologetically: "The queen mother has been waiting for a long time, and the son is back." ”

Miao Zhifeng followed: "Stop the wind and ask the queen mother." ”

The queen sat quietly, looking at her kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a little charm, and responded softly: "It's all exempt." ”

Miao Zhifeng saw the queen for the first time, so he looked at it directly, and the most noble woman in the Southern Chu Kingdom sat on it, about 50 years old, combing a crown and flower bun, wearing a gilt pearl crown, a long tail wide robe with a red placket on a black background, a hundred birds and a phoenix double-layered, and the golden lotus was forbidden to step with a tassel with blue beads as the core, which was luxurious but showed a flamboyant bearing, in a word, it was very stylish.

When the queen saw Zhifeng staring at her, she asked, "Is there anything on the face of this palace?" ”

Zhifeng came back to his senses, waved his hand and said bluntly: "No, no, no, I look at your beautiful appearance and youth, if I can match you half of your elegance, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

The queen smiled knowingly, "Silly boy, I'm old, you're still young, this is the prime, I'm too late to envy you." ”

Zhifeng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "How can good-looking people be so good at talking." ”

Her words made everyone present, including the maids, laugh with sneer.

The queen also seemed to be in a good mood, and turned to Chu Yan and said, "Yan'er, since you have returned to the house, pass on the meal." Stopping the wind is a guest, you should show hospitality and treat well. ”

Chu Yan said, "Yes." The food and wine have been prepared, just waiting for the queen mother's words. ”

Miao Zhifeng looked stupid and innocent and said: "It's all a family, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Chu Yan looked at it silently from the side, and said in his heart, if it was really a family with you, it would be fine, and there would be no need to bother to guard against you, but now it is only a family that is kind on the surface. Maybe the sixth brother married you, and it was too late for me to regret it, but it is said that the two of you are not married yet, so I feel a little relieved for my brother.

Miao Zhifeng doesn't seem to understand anything on the surface, and he doesn't care about anything, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart, the mother and son set up a banquet and invite the wife of an enemy, I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet, right?

Of course, Yelu Wuxian and Qingli also followed, Sheng Wang Ming said that this was a Fengmo gathering where the queen wanted to get along with Zhifeng alone, and Zhifeng asked them to wait in the carriage outside Shengwang's mansion, especially Yelu Wuxian, there was nothing to do, and he was not invited to visit, and it was too abrupt to enter Shengwang's mansion, and it would be talked about and not good.

Qingli couldn't sit still in a hurry, and wanted to get out of the car, "I don't worry about the princess alone, I want to go in and serve!" ”

Yelu Wuxian dragged her back, "You go and serve a fart, in case something happens, we can still ventilate and report outside, if we all go in, once there is any trouble, who will solve it?" ”

Qingli was ignorant, as if he understood or not, and glanced at Yelu Wuxian and said, "You seem to be right." ”
