Chapter 58: Striving to be the first
One after another, people handed in their poems, and others were still posturing.
Zhao Yanyan looked at Yiqing who couldn't write curiously, and wondered: "Sister Yiqing, why don't you write?" Our first talented girl in the capital, don't you still want to perform talents?! ”
Yiqing didn't know what to do, Zhao Yanyan explained: "Which young lady doesn't want to be ugly in poetry, then sing a song, play the piano or something, and it's considered to be passed!" ”
"Can't you just come and see it?" Chunxing couldn't recognize all the big characters, let alone any elegant artistic edification, so he asked anxiously.
Zhao Yanyan didn't care, she deliberately squeezed Chunxing and said: "Of course you can, but it's not good after all, and there are so many ladies here today, while they are observing the talents, they also have to see if there is a suitable daughter-in-law by the way!" ”
This is the truth, today because of Xiao Keying's face, many official ladies have come, and there must be a lot of ladies, but now maybe somewhere to let people secretly inquire about the news!
Chunxing didn't mind Zhao Yanyan's gossip, but instead sat more dignified, respectfully laid out the pen and paper, and prepared to write - it is better to write something than to do nothing!
The ridicule in the corners of Zhao Yanyan's eyes couldn't be hidden.
Yi Qing was curious: "What about you?" Why don't you put pen to paper? ”
Li Shishi blew the ink that had not dried, and smiled indifferently: "She! One mind is dancing with knives and guns, and now I'm holding back my energy and waiting to go out to play! ”
"Then you don't do anything? Then just now you said that the ladies ......" Chun Xing pinched half of the poem she had written, feeling as if she had been tricked by these people.
Zhao Yanyan rolled her eyes and said, "My grandfather is a general of the auxiliary country, my father is stationed at the border pass, and my brother has military merits at a young age, and it is too late for those sons and wives to scold me!" Who rarely flatters them and commits that old man's crime?! Hum! I'm still waiting to test them! ”
After that, he pulled Yiqing and was about to go out, Yiqing was not worried that Chunxing and Yilan would stay alone, and wanted to know more about the people here, so he said: "My sisters are here!" ”
Zhao Yanyan said: "Oops! It's fun out there......"
As he was talking, Wang Xiaolu came - and because his grandmother was the queen mother and his mother was the eldest princess, he was now the county lord.
Xiao Keying followed closely behind, with an apologetic face - the county lord's identity was lower than that of the county lord.
Wang Xiaolu looked at Yiqing and said with an unhappy face: "You are the legendary Wang Yiqing?" I've read your book and I love it! But why didn't you accept my invitation to join the Poetry Society?! ”
Yiqing hurriedly pulled Chun Xing to salute and explained, "I don't know when the county lord is talking about? Yiqing has just been in Beijing for less than a year, and there have been various changes in her family before, so she has pushed away all the entertainment! Today is the first time my sisters have gone out! I hope you will forgive me! ”
Yiqing wore a face towel, but her eyes were sincere.
Wang Luyao just wanted to find a step down, and knew that what Yiqing said was true, so she took the opportunity to say: "In this way, then I will reluctantly forgive you, next time you can't easily refuse me, at least write a poem as an aparation!" ”
Xiao Keying stepped forward at this time, clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, Amitabha, our queen is finally not angry...... Then you can help me be a referee, I can't be both a host and a referee today, right? ”
Wang Luyao said angrily: "You just underestimate my strength so much? I'm afraid that I'll have a conflict with Yiqing's sister so you won't know that I'm here?! You think everyone is as careful as you are......"
"Good, good! It's all my fault, my aunts and grandmothers! You've got a lot of adults, forgive me for being a little pawn! Xiao Keying begged for mercy.
Wang Luyao said seriously: "I heard that my sister was injured in her early years, I have already asked someone to get good medicine to heal the injury, and then let someone send it to your house." Your sister is so beautiful, if you are cured, it will not be bad! ”
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Yanyan pulled Wang Luyao and smiled, "So let's talk about the two of us!" That's what I've just said! ”
Wang Luyao twisted Zhao Yanyan's ears and said to Xiao Keying: "You don't care about it quickly?" The future sister-in-law of Zhao! ”
Xiao Keying's face instantly looked like a big red cloth, and she hid her feet and said, "See if I don't tear the mouth of this little hoof, don't stop me!" ”
Wang Luyao's identity is the most noble and the oldest, so she quickly suppressed everyone from playing, and said, "Don't mess up, we have two more noble sisters today, don't scare people away!" ……”
Chun Xing saw that the two Yiqing sisters had quietly won the love of a group of people, and she seemed a little anxious, so she wanted to take the initiative to talk to Wang Luyao, but was squeezed aside by Zhao Yanyan intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sister Yanyan, why do you keep squeezing me?" Chun Xing said directly.
Zhao Yanyan didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and said coldly: "I'm not your sister, please call me Miss Zhao!" ”
Chun Xing pretended to be ignorant: "Your name is Sister Yiqing, and I am her sister, so I call you sister, that's right!" With that, set his eyes on Yiqing.
Just know that this guy is not worrying! But I didn't expect to start looking for trouble so soon! Yiqing was helpless in her heart: No one wants you to take you to play, and no matter how hard you try to get into the circle, it's boring.
Zhao Yanyan was poor in words and had never seen such a move, so she simply closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Yiqing was very embarrassed, and when she was hesitating whether to say a word for Chunxing, a little girl came over with a festive face, saluted respectfully, and said, "Hello to the county lord and ladies!" Today's poems have been collected, and please move to appreciate them! ”
Yiqing was directly pushed to the front, Wang Luyao said: "Although Miss Yilan's Journey to the West has not yet been published, in terms of her talents, the two books of Stone and Journey to the West are extraordinary, and you sisters are the best of the best, so you should be the judge!" Don't worry, if anyone is not convinced, I will support you! ”
Yilan looked at the excluded Chunxing, and beckoned Little Peach and Bunting to follow closely and prevent her from running around.
"The spring outside the door is full of gardens, and the lotus flowers in the pond are intoxicating...... no, no, Yiqing muttered in her heart, putting this poem aside.
The poem "The spring breeze blows in February, and the fireworks and willows turn into ......smoke in March" is still complete, and Yiqing classifies it as a better one.
……
All the ladies and girls waited quietly for the results below, eagerly hoping that their poems would be favored by talented women.
The ladies were also attracted by the excitement here, and they all talked about how the referee was a little girl who was not in time; And after learning that this little girl was the author of the Stone Book and the goddess doctor in the capital, everyone was very interested and sent maids to investigate.
At the same time, Yilan, who was standing on the edge of Yiqing, was looked at by many ladies and ladies because of her beauty, so that Yilan's own aura of a miracle doctor and talented woman was ignored.
"The results are in!" Wang Luyao stood in the middle of the crowd and said with a smile on her face: "Let's read the third song first, the spring breeze is full of faces in February, the fireworks are willows in March, and the falling flowers are not ruthless things, turning into spring mud to repay the favor." ”
"Yikes! It's Miss Yin of the Da Sima family! A young lady said excitedly.
Everyone congratulated Miss Yin, and Miss Yin humbly thanked her.
"Then before announcing the second place, let's ask a younger sister to perform a talent show, did you take the initiative to sign up? If not, I'll be sure! Let me go through the ...... who didn't sign up first," Wang Luyao said with a smile.
The rest of the people were expectant, excited, and hidden, and finally the beautiful girl raised her hand and said, "Why don't I play a piece of guzheng for the sisters!" ”
Wang Luyao clapped her hands and said, "Okay!" Our sister Xue Yinyin's best thing is the guzheng, and everyone has a blessing today! ”
Hearing this, Yiqing understood that this Xue Yinyin should often participate in such performances, and the level must not be bad.
Sure enough, a touching song Xue Yinyin came easily, and Xiao Keying's dancing girl was also very set off the scenery, and Yiqing gave a thumbs up very powerfully.
Wang Luyao said: "This song is really like a spring breeze!" Sister Yiqing, what do you think? ”
"Wonderful, lingering!" Yi Qing exaggerated and gave an excellent evaluation.
Followed by the announcement of the second place, the winner was the daughter of an unknown petty official, and in the middle of the break was Zhao Yanyan performed a sword dance, everyone was very novel, and Yiqing's evaluation was still very high: "Come like thunder to collect anger, like the river and the sea condense the clear light, the lips and beads are lonely, and there are disciples in the evening to spread the fragrance!" ”
"Your rating is too high! I deserve it! Zhao Yanyan was excited, she was so happy to get such a high evaluation!
Yi Qing gave Zhao Yanyan a look that stood up to you.
"Sisters, I'm going to announce the number one! Before that, I want to ask Yiqing to comment on what is good about this poem, do you say it is good?! "Wang Luyao is obedient.
"Let's recite poetry first! Stop hanging us! Miss Yi asked anxiously.
Wang Luyao failed to sell obediently, and said: "Okay, then please ask our Miss Liu Linlang to read it in person!" ”
"Who is Liu Linlang? I haven't heard of it! Zhao Yanyan was anxious, and said it directly, and the rest of the people were also confused.
“…… It's me ......" Liu Linlang hid aside and replied weakly.
"Come on!" Wang Luyao said informally.
As soon as Liu Linlang finished reading, some people below were unconvinced and said: "She is a little girl who has just gone to Beijing, what good poems can she write!" Don't be partial! ”
It was Liu Dudu's daughter, Liu Lanzhi, who was walking from the crowd to the front at the moment, and continued: "Her father is a petty official who guards the city, and Lun Li is not qualified to compete with us at all, dare to ask the county lord What do you mean today?" ”
"That is, how many ancient books does a small lowest-class military general recognize? Dare to fight for the first? Someone else chimed in.
"Miss Xiao shouldn't have invited her! What is Liu Lanzhi......
Liu Lanzhi's eyes turned red instantly, and she couldn't wait to get into the crack in the ground.
Zhao Yanyan is the child of a military general, and when she heard that someone was holding a military general as a raft, she relied on her young age and said angrily: "What's wrong with our general? Can't we military generals come? Still can't be a talented girl?! ”
