Chapter 61: Encounter
The eldest prince said to the prince: "Teacher Zhuang, can you let students show such poems to the students outside?" ”
Taishi said happily: "That's nature! These talented people boast of being true celebrities, and today let them see what it means to be a real celebrity! It's a pity that Miss Yiqing is a daughter's family, if a man has this talent, tsk! Dare to ask which gentleman the girl studied with? ”
Yiqing was full of black lines, and said busily: "I haven't studied with the teacher specifically, my parents taught a few words when they were alive, and after the two sisters went to Beijing, they looked at the miscellaneous books at home in a mess...... Taishi praised it today, Yiqing was ashamed and didn't dare to bear it! ”
Who Dao Taishi didn't listen to Yiqing's modesty at all, and said directly: "Humility is a good thing, too much humility is conceited!" Miss Yiqing doesn't need to say much, just now the girl said that you have a sister, why didn't the old man see her poems? ”
Yilan replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Taishi, the folk girl's attainments in poetry and writing are not as good as her sister, so she has never created. ”
Seeing Yilan, the eyes of the eldest prince and the prince lit up!
Zhao Yanyan hurriedly interjected: "Taishi, don't listen to her modesty, I've seen the works of the two sisters, and the writing is very good!" ”
Taishi smiled, and then said: "Miss Zhao, your grandfather begged me to let you study with the princes and princesses, and you can't call me Taishi in the future, and you should change your voice to call me Teacher Zhuang!" ”
Zhao Yanyan was speechless.
The Taishi said: "I will report the matter to the Holy Lord today, Your Highness, let's go back first, shall we?" I believe that this will make the students explode! ”
……
Zhao Yanyan climbed Yiqing's arm and said, "Sister, look, today I helped you two sisters say good things, and even I will be pitted into it!" ”
Li Shishi chuckled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, who in our capital doesn't know you?" Your grandfather and your brother spoiled you so lawlessly that they could only find someone from the palace to subdue you......"
For a while, the atmosphere was very joyful.
Man Chenru was also a lot more polite: although he didn't win the first place, he finally showed his face in front of the prince, and his talent was recognized.
Wang Luyao asked Mama Gui and said, "Do we want to continue today?" ”
"Since His Royal Highness and the Grand Master have not given rankings, let's stop here!" Mama Gui accepted it when she saw it, and said, "Miss Yiqing is talented, and the remaining young ladies are also talented!" ”
Yiqing didn't want to stop there, and said, "Mama Gui, can you taste Miss Liu Lanzhi's poems again?" Yiqing thinks that the text is exquisite! ”
Liu Lanzhi hurriedly said: "Thank you sister for mentioning it, Lanzhi is grateful!" I'm very satisfied with today's results! ”
Li Shishi quietly reminded: "Sister, even she hasn't been entangled, let's stop here!" And Miss Liu's talent has been recognized, so there is no need to do it again! ”
"Miss Yiqing, what do you want?" Mama Gui was unhappy in her heart, in her opinion, today's matter has been successfully resolved, but the regeneration incident is not beautiful.
Yi Qing said directly: "Yi Qing doesn't dare to be presumptuous, but she just thinks that Miss Liu Lanzhi is really not easy, so she wants to help her win a ......."
The ladies and ladies in Kyochu were the most leisurely, and when they saw that there was gossip to hear, they stretched out their ears and came over.
Yi Qing said: "My Zhangfu is a medical hall, and I often have the opportunity to meet all kinds of people. And I met an old woman before, who is said to be the maiden family of Miss Liu Lanzhi's mother......"
Yi Qingxue focused on Liu's mother's experience and the changes in the family property, and said: "The old woman also said that now the Liu family eats, drinks, and uses Liu Lanzhi's mother's family business, and Miss Liu Lanzhi not only does not have the treatment that a young lady deserves, not to mention chopping firewood and cooking every day, but also being used by her stepmother as a bargaining chip in exchange for her son's bride price!" ”
Only then did everyone take a serious look: although Liu Lanzhi's clothes were novelly cut, they didn't fit, wearing gold beads and silver hairpins, but they were the style of middle-aged women, not to mention the hands hidden in the sleeves, full of calluses, and there was no girlish softness at all!
Liu Lanzhi looked at Yiqing with tears on her face and said, "Miss Yiqing, have you met my nurse?" I haven't seen her in a long time! ”
Zhao Yanyan said angrily: "This family is too hateful! Sister Yiqing, you should expose their faces for everyone to judge! ”
Yi Qing said: "The old woman didn't say who she was, only that her young lady was pitiful!" She was not in good health at the time and had no money to buy medicine...... Today, I am fortunate to meet Miss Liu Lanzhi, and I have revealed the persecution of your mother, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of the elderly! ”
"The good and the bad are all what you say, if Miss Liu's family is harsh on her, then how can they invite her to Mr. Reading?!" Discordant voices were heard from the crowd.
Liu Lanzhi cried anxiously and explained: "That's my nurse, she taught me to read and write, she taught me to embroider female red, and she helped me chop wood and cook together!" She was sick at that time, and she was sent back to her hometown by her grandmother, but the nurse was long gone! I haven't seen it for a long time...... Miss Yiqing, when did you meet? Did she say where she went......"
This matter is obviously Liu Lanzhi's mother's complaint! In order to tell everyone, I made up an old woman's disguise, but I didn't expect a nurse to appear by mistake.
Mama Gui pondered for a long time, stopped a bunch of chattering and said, "Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents The words of the matchmaker, Miss Liu Lanzhi's mother was reckless when she was young, which created such bitter fruits!" However, the events of the previous life have been revealed, and Miss Liu Lanzhi, as the eldest daughter of the Liu family, should not suffer such an encounter! ”
An unknown woman whispered, "But what can be done now?" As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and Miss Liu's father doesn't care about it...... Miss Yiqing, what's the use of you holding it?! ”
Some people began to agree, adding: "And Miss Yiqing has opened up such a scandal, isn't she afraid that Miss Liu's marriage will be affected?!" You keep saying that it's good for Miss Liu, but is it really good to do this?! ”
Yiqing was depressed in her heart, "three from four virtues" is a tradition of women throughout the ages: even if you are deeply wronged and bullied, you must value harmony, and there are many people in the crowd who think like this.
Liu Lanzhi smiled sadly and said, "Do you know this matter, what's the difference?" No matter what, my father never looked at me squarely, and to them - I was just my brother's bride price...... Thank you Miss Yiqing for letting me know the whereabouts of the nurse, Laneige is grateful! ”
……
At the end of the poetry meeting, everyone said goodbye.
Yiqing was unwilling in her heart, and stared at Liu Lanzhi's carriage for a long time.
Zhao Yanyan sighed and said, "Sister, you have done your best, we are outsiders, and you must be able to stop people who are fathers and sell their daughters!" ”
If I can't stop it, I'll stop it! She's lying on my face! Yiqing shouted in her heart, her face full of displeasure.
Zhao Yanyan sighed and said, "Oh, my little ancestor, you can rest assured!" Their family must know about today's events, and they will definitely not treat Liu Lanzhi so harshly again! ”
Xiao Keying sent everyone away at the door, and intimately prepared exquisite gifts for each daughter present, Yiqing opened it and looked at it, and she was in a better mood.
A few people were chatting at the door, when suddenly several men came around from the other doorways.
Although there are no more daughters at the side door at the moment, but after all, it is an informal occasion, and it is still very evasive to contact with men, and the maid next to Xiao Keying scolded: "Bold fanatics, don't you know that this is all a girl's house?!" Please get out of here! ”
The person who came seemed to be unwilling, and said to the maid: "Girl, we are not fanatics, but guests of the banquet, today I have the honor to read the poems of the ladies in the house, and I admire it in my heart, and I want to express my inner admiration!" ”
"That's not going to work either! The eldest prince of the family is still accompanied by the master and the master, what kind of system have you become if you are not known and unaccompanied! Don't say what kind of students you are, don't tarnish the reputation of your students! The little girl was very sure of her words, and she resolutely refused to give way.
Mama Gui praised on the side: "Xiao Mansion is really a very positive family!" Even the maids and maids in the house are rules and words! ”
Only then did the group notice the movement here, and Xiao Keying said: "I really don't understand the rules!" Please also ask Mama Gui to accompany us and watch what the disciple wants?! ”
Mama Gui smiled and bowed.
Yi Lan held Yi Qing's hand tightly, and her palms were full of cold sweat.
It's really a narrow road! Can you meet Sun Yaowei here?!
Thinking about it, Sun Yaowei is also quite talented, and he is probably one of the guests when he appears in Xiao Mansion today!
Yi Qing tightened Yi Lan's hand and gently comforted: "Don't worry! I already told Grandma Yuan last time, she asked us to be Miss Zhang's cousin with peace of mind, and let them investigate! ”
The three Sun Yaowei brothers saluted in unison and said: "Forgive the contemptible and abrupt, it's really amazing that the poems of the young ladies are amazing!" That's why I admire it to the extreme, and I hope to forgive me! ”
Mama Gui said directly: "Why didn't the person who came report his name?" As soon as it came up, it was amazing with his mouth open and admired with his mouth closed, which is really shameless...... If you're done, go back! After all, men and women can't kiss! ”
How could Sun Yaowei stand such anger?! Seeing that Grandma Sun was dressed plainly, he said, "This grandmother is wrong!" All three of us brothers are candidates for this year, not prodigal sons! ”
"What do you know, mamma? Are you worthy of the things of the readers? We can't just tarnish our reputation! Next to him, Sun Yaowu added that Sun Yaowen didn't have time to stop it.
Xiao Keying hurriedly apologized: "Mama Gui, let you bother and work hard!" It's a shameful ...... Childe, please apologize! ”
Sun Yaowei hurriedly pushed Sun Yaowu, Sun Yaowu reacted, and said: "Under Sun Yaowu, under today, he is really open-mouthed!" Thank you for your understanding! ”
Sun Yaowei hurriedly picked up: "Miss Xiao, under Sun Yaowu, I apologize to you for my younger brother!" ”
Mama Gui said indifferently: "It's okay, these two young ladies are the talented girls in our capital, and the poems you just saw are also written by this Miss Yiqing, please leave quickly after you have a brief chat!" ”
Sun Yaowei's wolf-like eyes stared at Yi Lan......
