Chapter 40: The Dark Horse of Cultural Fighting

Lin Qingya exhaled at this time and responded softly, "Yes, it's all up to His Highness." ”

Li Guangnian bowed to everyone in the house, and then walked out quickly to make arrangements.

Soon, the guests in the Poetry Pavilion basically knew that today's Jinghong Gonggong was going to sit in the village for this literary meeting, and they were surprised and excited, and the literary meeting in previous years had never been so lively!

"Father, according to the son, Her Royal Highness the princess is very interested, why don't we organize a few cultural fights, so as to earn more money for Her Royal Highness the princess's Zhuangzi."

Li Shilang was greeting a few old acquaintances in the southwest greenhouse, Li Guangnian stepped forward and answered a few words, and found an opportunity to secretly hand the words to Li Shilang. Li Shilang immediately rolled his eyes and whispered, "Are you stupid?" Her Royal Highness the princess can lack that little bit of color, this literary fight can be had, but it must be done in moderation, your mother has nothing to do in this regard, you ask a reliable female dependent to look at the meaning of Her Royal Highness the princess, this opportunity is rare today, I will give you full authority for my father, you don't mess up! ”

"Yes, thank you father for your trust." Li Guangnian's face remained unchanged, and he walked out with a smile greeting people all the way, looked left and right, and said to the little guy who followed him closely, "Go and find where the eldest brother is, just say that I have something to ask my sister-in-law." ”

The little guy answered, Li Guangnian stood in place and thought for a long time, and then went to a crowded place.

Wu Jinghong was still drinking tea in the house, looking at ease, which allowed several other ladies in the house to relax.

"Your Highness, Second Prince Li has already arranged everything." Chimang went around outside and came back, and said in a low voice, "However, Li Shilang asked him to find someone to watch His Highness's face to do a literary fight, and he actually found his own sister-in-law." ”

"Oh?" Wu Jinghong raised his eyebrows, "Is it an interesting person?" ”

"Li Shilang's eldest daughter-in-law is the granddaughter of Cao Guogong, Cao Guogong's family cultivates literati talents, and even the girl has been literate and studied in the school in the house since she was a child, and there is a gap in her heart. This Cao Yun has made a name for herself in their Xuzhou since she was a child, and this marriage is a low marriage for her, she will naturally look down on this Li Shilang and his wife from a merchant. ”

"It's kind of interesting." Wu Jinghong nodded, "The eldest prince Li broke up with Li Shilang early, which is also the credit of this Cao family, right?" ”

"Nine points was instigated by her."

"Do you say that Li Ergongzi can not know that the Cao family and the Guo family are not dealing with each other? Put these two people together in front of the main palace, do you want the main palace to pay less attention to the literary meeting and watch more dramas? ”

"Your Highness, it seems to your subordinates that this Second Prince Li is not such a brainless person, I am afraid that he has his own plans."

Wu Jinghong hooked the corners of his lips, this Li Guangnian is indeed more intelligent than his father, so what is the significance of his move?

Without waiting for her to think about it, the Cao family came.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess." Cao's is only in her twenties, it is the most beautiful time for young women, I saw her wearing a concentric bun, with repeated green silk hanging down next to her ears, lightly attached to the gorgeous face like peach blossoms, the double-layer skirt is embroidered with peach blossoms, and the wide-sleeved coat is from light to dark pink from top to bottom, and the whole person seems to be exuding a soft light when standing there, which is both cute and has the exemplary temperament of everyone's ladies.

"Mother Wan An. Hello Mrs. Lin, hello Miss Lin. ”

After Wu Jinghong told her to get up, she saluted Guo, Zhang and Lin Qingya in turn, and her natural and decent smile was embedded on her face, no matter who saw it, she couldn't make a mistake. Wu Jinghong nodded secretly, this Li eldest son married a good girl.

"Why are you ......" Guo Shi was stunned for a while, and was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but the maid behind her reminded her with a light cough, and she hurriedly changed her words, "Why are you here, aren't you raising a baby at home?" There are so many people here today, why did Da Lang let you come here? ”

"Mother Xie cares, and the husband also persuaded the daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law wanted to come and accompany Her Royal Highness the princess, so the husband sent the daughter-in-law." Cao's face did not change, and he smiled softly.

Guo Shi took a deep breath and prepared to refute - who wants you to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess? There are so many female relatives here, is there still one missing you? It's just that before the words came out, she was stopped by the maid in time, she glanced at Wu Jinghong, a little weak-hearted, and more disgusted and impatient glared at Cao.

"It's hard for you to still have this thought, but it's really not appropriate for you to move around when you're pregnant, and everyone can't take responsibility if something happens." Wu Jinghong waved her hand and asked someone to help Cao sit down, but she didn't know that this Cao was pregnant, and it didn't seem to show much, and it was probably not a big month.

"His Royal Highness Xie cares, and the women will be careful." Cao sat down cautiously, gently holding her waist, and it was because of Her Royal Highness the princess that she dared to come today.

Seeing this, Wu Jinghong didn't say much more, anyway, it was just for the sake of making this article more pleasing to herself, and her focus was on the meeting.

The bustling crowd downstairs has been evacuated and seated in separate sessions. This Qinxin Building is indeed worthy of being the most prestigious private room in the Poetry Pavilion, here, you can see it clearly everywhere downstairs, especially the test table in the middle, which is facing them.

"Huh?" Lu Mang suddenly let out a cry of surprise, but soon sighed again, and did not explain anything to Wu Jinghong, Qing Mang glanced at her and did not speak.

"Your Royal Highness, the first literary battle arranged by Li Ergongzi is to compose poems, which will be selected from the whole audience and evaluated by the two bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. After the top 10 are selected, the top 3 will be selected by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Chimang turned around again, still carrying two words in his hand, "This is the theme of the two poems, which was set by Li Ergongzi." ”

"Hmm." Wu Jinghong only glanced at it and ignored it, the handwriting is very good, but this theme is too vulgar, "Yongmei"? This audition is really a bit difficult for the two bachelors. The second picture is "Ascending", which is kind of interesting.

I thought that some had waited, but who expected that the top ten would have already come out with a cup of tea.

"Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to rate these ten talents." Someone came up with a roll of paper and opened it in front of her one by one.

"It seems that this is not only a literary talent, but also speed." Wu Jinghong nodded appreciatively, but she didn't waste her time, and Li Guangnian's kid still had some eyes.

"Your Highness, why is this handwriting so beautiful, it looks like a woman's handwriting." Midori muttered softly.

Wu Jinghong looked at the poems in front of her, the handwriting is indeed very beautiful, and the poetry is like a small jasper, although it is refreshing to read, but there is not much deep meaning, and then look at the paragraph, she showed a clear look, "It seems that there are also outstanding women in the family, and they can stand out from the audition, not bad, not bad." ”

"Bai Wei?" Cao's head stretched forward, and he also saw the author of this poem, "Your Highness, this white girl is from the Bai family of Xuzhou, and the folk woman has known her since she was a child, and her talent is indeed no less than that of many men. ”

"Xuzhou Bai family?" Wu Jinghong's heart moved, "I heard that every time the winter test is released, there must be the Bai family on the list, but it is the Bai family in Xuzhou?" ”

"Yes, the Bai family in Xuzhou is a scholarly family, and the family has a huge family relationship, and the Bai family is on the list in almost every winter exam." Cao replied with a smile, "However, my grandfather once joked that the real talent of the Bai family is not to take the entrance examination, but to never advance after entering the dynasty." ”

"Hehe, that's true." Wu Jinghong smiled and nodded, the Bai family is an official in the court, and they have always been wise to protect themselves, even if the official career does not advance, or they themselves retreat again and again, and never fight forward. Therefore, although there are many people on the list in the winter examination, there are really no people who hold important positions in the DPRK. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the emperor find the good seedlings of the Bai family when he loved talents so much?

Lin Qingya also leaned forward with some curiosity, if she is talented, she is not bad, but this Bai Wei, who can stand out from the audition outside and show her literary talent in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, she is afraid that she really can't compare.

"Just saying, it seems that the Bai family is bound to win this winter test again." Wu Jinghong smiled and pointed to the poem that had just been opened, "This Bai Qiang must be Bai Wei's brother, right?" ”

"Heh, exactly, Bai Qiang and Bai Wei are actually a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but they are brothers and sisters in the front and back rows according to their birth." Cao responded with a smile.

Wu Jinghong nodded, and continued to look back, but there are really a few good poems, with lofty and profound meanings, and some of them use the topic of "ascending" to show their loyalty to her, and there are even those who are full of resentment and say that they have never met a talent.

"There is only one last one left, does Your Highness have someone in mind?" Qingmang said softly.

"It's okay, we will win the Zhuangzi this time." Lu Mang continued, "At present, it is indeed ...... Hey! ”

Lu Mang exclaimed again, this time he was knocked hard by Qing Mang, "What are you fussing about all day?" ”

"This, this is not ......" Lu Mang pointed to the last poem that had just been opened, staring at the inscription speechless, Qing Mang glanced at it, and was also stunned.

"Swing your chest to give birth to stratus clouds, and decide to enter the bird. It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. ”

Wu Jinghong read it softly, exhaled a breath, and his eyes fell on the end of the poem - "Wang Jiu".

"This poem is really vast, huh, Wang Jiu? Who is this person sacred? Where did the Wang family come from? Cao didn't pay attention to the green and green face, but saw that Wu Jinghong was very interested in this poem, so he came up in time.

"Who knows." Wu Jinghong was stunned for a while, smiled helplessly, and mentioned that Zhu Bi approved a word under Wang Jiu's poem - "good"!

"Huh? Then, Your Highness, we are not pressed against this person. Lu Mang pursed his lips and glared downstairs unhappily, the haunting Shura King was really blindless!

"It's okay, follow the rules." Wu Jinghong's expression remained unchanged, he sat down indifferently, and said to Chimang, "Go and ask if this poem is finished, what is the next comparison?" The palace is unfavorable, and the first game was pitted by a dark horse that came out halfway, and the second game must be more reliable. ”
