The maids and ladies in the garden waited for Yiqing's explanation with different expressions, and the attention of the ladies outside was also attracted.

"Those two are the two women who are the most popular in our capital?!" A noble lady asked softly.

Another replied, "Exactly, talented and skilled!" This sister is beautiful, but as for the little one with a face towel, I don't know what it looks like. It's a pity! Didn't cast a good tire! ”

……

Yi Qing asked everyone for the last time: "Then you don't have any other questions, right?" If not, then I will make it clear today, and someone will pour dirty water on us in the future! ”

Yiqing's handwriting is not good-looking, so she picked up the inkstone box and handed it to Yilan and said: "Please Miss Man come up with a proposition article, if I chant poetry casually, I'm afraid you will still question me, is it a manuscript typed in advance?!" As for the reviewers, please nominate them together so as not to be unfair. ”

"Oh, by the way, now it should be enough for me to come forward alone, right? My sister is older than me, and if I really can't, it's not too late for her to come forward! Yi Qing added that she had thousands of years of Chinese civilization crystallization in her mind, and beating these little girls was already a knife for killing chickens! Who let them bully! As for Yilan - it's better to maintain a sense of mystery, and the province will show its feet!

"I wonder if I'm qualified?" A middle-aged woman with a solemn look and plain clothes appeared.

"We can't ask for it!" Wang Luyao and Man Chenru said at the same time.

Zhao Yanyan and Yiqing explained: "This Gui Mama is one of the best upbringing grandma in the capital!" Plain is the most fair, and he is not afraid of power; And she is also an old man from the palace, and all the families in the capital will ask her to teach the rules to the children! I've been scared of her palms since I was a child! Then he shivered.

Mama continued: "I'm afraid it's hard to be convincing to judge by me alone, so let's participate in it with all the young ladies here!" If our results are inconsistent, how about the evaluation of our talented people who have learned from the rich five cars? And the eldest prince and the prince are also here today, just to show the demeanor of our daughter's family in Daqing! ”

"Then, don't just look at one person's poems, Mama Gui will read them again!" As soon as they heard that it was possible to hand it over to the eldest prince, everyone began to talk about it.

The crowd was angry, Wang Luyao had to say: "Trouble Mama Gui, or if you are tired, show it again?" ”

Mama Gui said: "The poems of the young ladies are very good, but the content is too general and there is little point in comparing them...... Since this is the case, then I will set a proposition topic, and those who are willing to participate will participate, and those who are unwilling will be arbitrary. When the time comes, everyone will select together, select the top five, and then ask the Taishi to comment, what is the decision? ”

Man Chenru said: "Since everyone agrees with this method, please ask Mama Gui to ask the question!" ”

Mama Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Just take the time of making four poems and one pillar of incense in spring, summer, autumn and winter." There is no limit to the format, subject matter, and length, so you can relax and create. Poetry is originally used to cultivate sentiment, and you must not be blinded by utilitarianism, otherwise the poem will lose its artistic conception! Instead, it fell down! ”

Mama Gui's eyes are bright, and she knows what kind of cheers and joy everyone has?! But that's just the point, after all, I was once young!

Chun Xing silently looked at the cheering figures of everyone, and quietly slipped back from the crowd to Xiao Peach and Bunting, and said in a very low voice: "Bunting, do you say our girl can win?" If it's not even the top five, wouldn't it be a shame to lose a lot of money! ”

Xiao Taohong despised it very much in her heart, but because of her identity, she didn't quarrel with Chunxing, and only said with a slight picket at the corner of her mouth: "I don't know if others are good or not, but I know that the five girls give Miss thousands of taels of silver every month for manuscript fees!" If Miss doesn't write well, then who is going to spend this unjust money?! ”

Chunxing ignored Xiao Taohong, but pulled the colorful flag away and said, "You talk to me!" Is there really a book manuscript fee of several thousand taels? Little Pink doesn't like me, I'm afraid she won't tell the truth! ”

Caiqi is loyal and honest, but he also looks down on Chunxing's behavior today, so he said impatiently: "You are both young ladies, how can I evaluate the master at will?!" Just now, Mama Gui said that everyone will have a chance, and you should write it quickly! If the poems are lucky enough to be in the top five, then maybe they can be known by the prince! ”

Chunxing's eyes were rolling, and even Zhao Yanyan, who was lazy with paper and pen, scratched her ears and cheeks, so she sat down in her seat and thought seriously.

Zhao Yanyan was silent in her heart: I didn't want to attract anyone's attention, but I really didn't want to write! But I'm afraid that today's events are for grandpa and brother to know, and if you don't behave well, you will definitely be taught a lesson when you go back!

Yilan didn't plan to compete, she knew her catties, so she simply grinded this inkstone box for Yiqing!

But Yiqing's tangled appearance became a joke in the eyes of everyone, and Man Chenru still didn't forget to say a few cold words.

But the truth is: are there so many great poems? Yiqing doesn't know which one to copy?! I kept sifting through my mind: poems to mourn my deceased wife are not good! Romance is not suitable for your age! Verses that require a separate explanation of the allusion will not work!

"No matter! That's it! Yiqing finally started writing impartially after everyone stopped writing.

"The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. There is nowhere to find the spring of long-hate, and I don't know how to turn into this. This poem is copied from Bai Juyi's "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple".

"After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons. The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. This poem is copied from Yang Wanli's "Xiao Out of Jingci Temple to Send Lin Zifang".

"A remnant sun spreads in the water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red. Pity the three nights of the first month of September, the dew is like a pearl and the moon is like a bow. This poem is copied from Bai Juyi's "Twilight River Yin".

"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone. I know that it is not snow, only dark incense. In winter's poem, Yiqing chose Wang Anshi's "Yongmei".

Yilan was amazed, the words on the paper were as fascinating as a dream!

Liu Lanzhi had just received a fright and did not want to participate in this event again. Yiqing deliberately came over and instructed: "Not for yourself, even for your biological mother, you should fight for it!" If you go home in disgrace, I'm afraid you won't have any good fruit to eat, right?! ”

……

The time for a stick of incense has passed, and the people who participated in the poem have finished delivering. In order to avoid the situation of acquaintances to help, Mama Gui specially ordered her little girls to transcribe the poems, so that no one would rely on handwriting to identify the author.

Everyone circulated and commented, and because it was still a secret ballot, the top ten works were soon selected, and Yiqing entered the circle without any suspense.

Not only did he enter the circle without any suspense, but he also won the first place by a huge margin.

Man Chenru looked at the other party's relaxed demeanor, and was very angry in his heart!

Then five of the top ten works are selected, and the selection of this link is also everyone's collective appreciation link: everyone can praise or question the problems of the works at will, among which the works with the most flaws are eliminated, and finally only five articles are kept for the Taishi side to review.

Man Chenru can't be the first, so he must be the second! So he began to secretly signal his close friends to help him canvass for votes, attacking the flaws in other people's works.

The list of the top five has come out: Yiqing is first, and the rest are the daughters of Man Chenru, Liu Lanzhi, Li Shishi and another minister.

Zhao Yanyan and Chun Xing didn't even enter the top ten: Chun Xing's face was full of regret, but Zhao Yanyan didn't seem to mind very much, and only said: "Amitabha!" Fortunately, I didn't make the cut, and it feels terrible to think that my poems were collectively looked at by so many people! ”

The top five works were transcribed by Mama Gui herself, and someone was sent to the prince and the prince.

……

"The Great Prince has arrived!" The little guy at the door shouted.

Everyone fell to their knees, both surprised and annoyed: I knew that the eldest prince would come over in person, and I should have picked it up just now!

A handsome and tall man came slowly with a smile on his face, followed by his own master, Mr. Zhuang, and Xiao Keying's biological father Xiao Gangyan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up! I'm here today for poetry appreciation! Don't be careful! If it's time to move on, go on. The eldest prince explained.

Mama Gui saluted and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, all our poems and essays are here this time, and I will show you the top five works of our poems this time." ”

Taishi carefully re-read all the manuscripts, and then took Yiqing's poems and praised them: "The women of our Daqing Kingdom are really not good-looking!" This girl's attainments alone are far superior to those of old age! Could this be the author of the Book of Stones?! ”

Wang Luyao hurriedly pulled Yiqing's sleeve and stepped forward and said, "Big cousin! It's this girl, that's Yiqing's sister. ”

The eldest prince stared at him as if he didn't believe it, and the prince repeatedly considered the strong contrast between the little girl in front of him and the macro masterpiece!

"There are talents from all generations! It's terrifying! If you're a man, you're definitely the best talent! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was Man Yuan who exclaimed, Yiqing won! And it won outright!

There are characters like Mr. Zhuang, a literary giant, who will dare to question Yiqing's talent in the future? !

Yiqing not only got such a good reputation, but also had the evidence of Miss Yun's medical skills, Man Chenru did not continue to tear up.

Yiqing bowed to Master Xie again, and asked Mama Gui again: "Mama Gui, Yiqing won today, has she already testified that the family of a small family can also win the first place?!" Miss Liu Lanzhi's poems today have also entered the top five again! So can she afford the name of a talented woman?! ”

Mama Gui said: "Miss Yiqing is too worried! If you and Miss Liu Lanzhi weren't talented women, there wouldn't be many talented women in the capital! ”
