Chapter 182: Competition

Shang Danzhu was speechless, "Your family is also willing to do it." ”

The water lilies are generally blooming in April at the earliest, and now it is only the first month, it must be raised in the flower shed, I heard that there is a hot spring village in the old house of the Lin family, which raises a lot of flowers, and I want to come to this water lily is also raised there.

It's just that although this flower is not delicate, it will definitely not survive for a few days if it is taken out in such weather.

Lin Yubin said: "This flower is very tenacious, even if the flower is gone, the rhizome will not die, and then it will take root in the stream, maybe it will bloom again in autumn." This stream in my house is too light, and I should plant something. ”

But the three sisters of the Shang family still felt that the Lin family was extravagant, and they should know that in addition to plum blossoms, other flowers and trees should not bloom at this time.

A pot of water lilies can be sold for a lot of money in the flower market, not to mention how attentive they are to the flowers and trees placed on both sides of this stream.

The little girls tried all their best to pick the water lilies, but they were not disappointed, and they did not know who made the first move, and the group of little girls soon tickled each other, chased after each other, and ran into the merlin.

The girls guarding by the stream wiped a cold sweat together, how dangerous it is by the water, it is better to go to the forest.

At this time, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, red, pink and white, and the little girls shuttle through it, and are lined with plum blossoms to be more delicate.

The ladies who had already moved to the second floor of the Guanjing Pavilion couldn't help but move in their hearts when they saw it, and began to pull up the children and nephews of the right age in the family.

It's really pleasing to the eye that these little girls look at, and they really want to take them home to be daughters-in-law.

So everyone tested each other, and slowly got together in twos and threes, and made an appointment to go out together next time.

Lin Qingwan still sat in the first place, leaning over to pour tea for the Mr. Shi sisters on the left and right.

Shi Xian's gaze was withdrawn from Merlin below, and he took the tea and asked, "I remember that your niece will be married next month, but you are going to start saying kiss?" ”

"Don't worry, it's only fifteen, girl, it's better to marry a few years later." Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Sister Xian intends to marry Sister Rong?" ”

Shi Xian sighed, "She'll have to talk about it a few years later." ”

Cui Rong's family affairs are even more difficult than Lin Yubin.

Lin Yubin lost his father and mother, but whether it is his father or mother, his moral character and personality are recognized as good, and with Lin Qingwan, a capable aunt, and he is the county lord, it is difficult to get married, but it is not difficult.

Two years ago, maybe there would be hesitation in the big family, after all, the eldest daughter who lost her mother did not marry, but now everyone has seen Lin Qingwan's ability, with her aunt personally teaching, where can Lin Yubin go?

So with upbringing, it is not difficult for Lin Yubin to say that he is the right person.

But Cui Rong is different, her father is a bastard, and the bastard is so bad that her mother and her two children have to reconcile with him.

What about her mother, Shi Xian smiled bitterly, no matter how reasonable she was in the marriage of Shi Cui's two families, she became unreasonable in the eyes of the world when she took her children and left.

Those big families will definitely worry about Cui Rong being the same as her, so Cui Rong's family affairs are much more difficult.

Shi Xian knows how much an improper family affair can hurt a woman, and it is better not to marry for the rest of his life.

Isn't it just to pay a tax for not marrying after the deadline, and she Shixian can still afford it.

Lin Qingwan understood her concerns, glanced at the wives in Xuanzhong, leaned into her ear and whispered: "It's okay, take advantage of her young age to find it slowly, it's a big deal to find it for ten or eight years, you can always find it." ”

Shi Xian glanced at her and said, "Are you comforting?" ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Of course, you think it's easy for me to pick Yubin?" ”

She is also very difficult, okay, Lin Jiang's favorite person before her death was Shang Mingjie, but she seems to have made the relationship between the two families a little weird.

But if she wants to find someone else, her eyes are black, who knows who to find.

Lin Jiang's ultimate goal is to make Lin Yubin live happily, if she accidentally finds a scumbag for her and falls short, then she will really have no place to cry.

She is still blind to Yubin's marriage, but she is a little interested in matching Shangzhou's grain prices.

Of course, it's not Shang Danzhu, it's Shang Danlan.

This matter is still entrusted by Shang Mingyuan.

Speaking of Shang Danlan, it is also quite pitiful, she has a mother, it is equivalent to not, Mrs. Shang stays in her courtyard all the year round to eat fasting and chant Buddha, as long as it does not involve the title of the Shang family, she will never come out.

Shang Danlan has obviously been married, but the marriage has not been decided, let alone undecided, and he has not even said it.

As for Mrs. Shang, I don't know what she is busy with all day, her granddaughter appears in front of her every morning and dusk, she didn't remember that Shang Danlan needs to be married, but she hasn't decided yet.

Mrs. Shang Er doesn't care anymore, she doesn't care about her own mother, why does she do so much?

Shang Mingyuan had no choice but to let his daughter-in-law go and knock on the side of the old lady.

The two of them were sure that Mrs. Shang understood, but the other party said that she was old and couldn't care, so just let Mrs. Shang decide for herself.

Shang Mingyuan: ......

What can Shang Mingyuan do, he is also desperate, if he can call his mother out of the yard, he will call it a long time ago.

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, they can tell Shang Danlan a kiss, the key is that Xiao Fang's family knows few people.

Second Mrs. Shang rarely goes out, and Xiao Fang's even less, basically except for Lin Qingwan, she rarely socializes with people outside.

Shang Mingyuan, he knows a lot of people, but those are fox friends and dog friends who are with him.

Although he is mixed, he also knows that he must not find a brother-in-law for his sister who likes to eat, drink and prostitute like him and has no interest yet.

So what to do, after thinking about it, Shang Mingyuan had no choice but to ask Lin Qingwan for help.

Lin Qingwan knows few people in Suzhou, but isn't she going to hold a meeting, not only the wives and wives in Suzhou will participate, but also the wives of many families from other places will come from afar to attend the meeting.

At that time, Lin Qingwan only needs to help mention a sentence or two, even if she lets Xiao Fang's family get to know a few more people?

His sister is not too young to delay any longer.

Shang Mingyuan also planned that if Lin Qingwan didn't make progress here, then he would stare wide-eyed on Wenhui's side to see who was talented but unmarried, and then it would be better to pull one to be his brother-in-law than to stay in the boudoir all the time.

Seeing Shang Mingyuan's appearance of wanting Shang Danlan to marry immediately, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but be distracted.

So when Mrs. Zhou saw the three girls of the Shang family with a moved face, her heart moved.

In fact, the Zhou family is not bad, that kid of the Zhou family, Lin Qingwan pouted, I don't know if the child has learned well, his writing is good, but he is small-minded, and he can ask Shang Mingjie when he turns around.

If only further contact could be made.

Mrs. Zhou didn't know Lin Qingwan's thoughts, she was staring at the girls below, her son was not young, she wanted him to marry two years earlier, but the old man always said that he was afraid that he would be distracted, so he would talk about it two years later.

This night is late, and now the Zhou family only has this single seedling, and she is in a hurry to hold her grandson.

If you want her to say that the girls who came here today look good, I don't know what is going on inside.

Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes, turned her head and said to Lin Qingwan: "County Lord, the children are tired of playing, it is better to let them sit down and rest and play some elegant games." ”

She pointed outside and said, "It's still cold, and it wouldn't be good if I sweated and the wind blew." Why don't you let them in, and everyone will compete in their talents, which is both elegant and interesting, how good? ”

The children are having a good time, so why should they be restrained? Lin Qingwan was about to refuse, but the other ladies agreed, and they also wanted to see the children's talents.

And the children are all brought by them, if they can make a name for themselves in the literary meeting, it will be very good for their reputation in the future.

Lin Qingwan saw that most of them agreed, so she held back her words and nodded, "In that case, let them in." ”

The girls chattered and swarmed in, but fortunately the open room was large enough, and the round tables and chairs were put away and spread out like mats and thick cushions, and everyone sat cross-legged.

Only the front row has a low table for people to use for competition.

Lin Qingwan had heard a lot about the gameplay of the Wenhui, but it was the first time she really participated, so she nominated Shi Xian as the chief judge, "Mr. Shi is here, there is no one more suitable to be the chief judge than you." ”

"The county lord is joking, who doesn't know that you are the first talented woman in Jiangnan, and it is most suitable for you to be the judge."

"Yes," someone immediately responded, "Maybe I haven't seen Lord Lin's poems for a long time, but this time it's just an eye-opener." ”

Lin Yubin, who was sitting cross-legged below, glanced at his aunt, and immediately got up and saluted everyone: "Forgive me, ladies, my aunt doesn't do poetry now, but she can comment on it for everyone." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Qingwan one after another.

You must know that Lin Qingwan is a well-known talented woman in Jiangnan, and she became famous when she participated in the first literary meeting with her sister-in-law at the age of nine.

She's still young, after all.

Lin Qingwan met everyone's eyes and said with a slight smile: "It's because I'm a little lazy, so I haven't written poetry since three years ago, and I won't do it again in the future, please forgive me." ”

Everyone thought of Xie Erlang in unison, and after being slightly stunned, they smiled and said, "It's also an honor to be commented by the county lord." This is the chief judge only needs to be evaluated, and the county lord will naturally do it. ”

Lin Qingwan shook her head, "Let's let Mr. Shi come, when it comes to erudition, who can compare to Mr. Shi?" ”

Everyone was no longer reluctant and agreed with Lin Qingwan's appointment, and the "Wenhui" on the South Park side could be regarded as the beginning.

But the North Park has already started, and everyone is in full swing.

In addition to poetry, they also have to compete with each other, and tomorrow they will have to debate the essay, not to mention other sporadic talent competitions.

Anyway, in the minds of the literati, these three items are the heaviest.

So at this time, the North Park was lively, and for the ranking of the merits of the three poems, not only the judges on the stage were arguing, but even the students in the audience almost rolled up their sleeves and fought.

Fang Datong, who was guarding with a broken arm, was sprayed by everyone's saliva, and silently wiped his face, who said that reading is elegant and reserved?

From now on he would never believe such a thing again.
