Chapter 45 - To each his own accord

In the Water Dream Pavilion, Princess Jin left under the pretext of excuse. One by one, the daughters who took off the brightly colored crane cloak were divided into several small circles according to their in-laws, old friends, etc. Zhang Huixin originally wanted to pull Chen Lan, but she was not only the niece of the Duke of Han, the cousin of Princess Jin, and the concubine of the lord of Yixing, so she was naturally surrounded by a large number of people, including many elders. Some of the people scolded her for running away, some joked that she was still a child's temper, and an old county lord also held her in his arms, and asked with a smile why the county lord of Yixing didn't come today, in short, she was weak to parry, and she had no time to care about anything else.

And Chen Lan is much more deserted here. First, she missed the opportunity to show her talent in the poetry club, secondly, she has no father or mother after all, compared to Chen Xi having a biological mother who is the cousin of Weiguogong, and her father has made meritorious deeds and wants to return to the dynasty in a blink of an eye, and thirdly, she is not in the mood to dance with long sleeves at this time...... So, even Su Wan'er gained some popularity because of a poem, but she still sat in the corner as before, silently holding a cup of tea and sitting there in a daze.

Princess Jin has been away for at least two quarters of an hour, although these daughters have not been inquired about at the moment, but these people have come out of the family. Which one is not a lot of eyes, and which one will not have a guess? Just like what she said to Zhang Huixin before, since the two of them happened to have a meeting today, it was impossible to blindly hide it. It's just that Zhang Huixin naturally has no problem with her mother, the county lord of Yixing, but whether she wants to say it to the Zhu family, and what she says, is the biggest question.

"Third Miss."

The sudden voice next to her interrupted her thoughts, and when she turned her head to look, she found that it was Mrs. Runing Bo Zheng who she had seen when she met before, and not far behind, the two older women who were standing beside Princess Jin before seemed to be looking at her, Chen Lan suddenly felt a sigh in her heart, and quickly got up, but she pretended not to know at all.

"Mrs. Runingbo."

Mrs. Runingbo Zheng is tall and tall, with phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, although she is now in her early forties, she is still very well maintained, and Yang Qian, the fourth lady of Runingbo, who came with her today, and she seem to be carved out of a mold. At this moment, she looked at Chen Lan, and took her hand without saying anything, and said, "At your age, it's the time to laugh, what's the matter if you just sit there?" The elders in your family are not allowed to come, and we are friends of the two families, and I should also take care of you. If the sisters are not able to be accompanied, come and talk to a few of us who are elderly! ”

Talking to the elderly?

Chen Lan saw that the direction of Mrs. Zheng's finger was where the two women who were suspected of being female officials in the palace were sitting, and there were no other orders on the side. I couldn't help but groan in my heart. Looking at the expressions of the two female officials, they should not have understood the previous assassination in Merlin, which shows that Princess Jin is deliberately hiding it from them. But Mrs. Zheng invited the two of them, which was enough to be fun.

Yes, the Runing Bo family was greatly damaged by the long-lasting lawsuit that inherited the title, and it is said that even the family received more than half of the royal gift of Zhuangtian. If it weren't for the fourth young lady Yang Qian mentioned by Xiuzhu before, she would have been able to enter the palace to sit and sit, I am afraid that the situation would be even worse. It seems that the inheritance of Ru Ningbo's family has a faint shadow of the Zhu family, but now for so many years, the Dongchang Marquis Mansion has avoided the incident in the Yangning Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Ru Ningbo may not be willing to blindly look at Zhu's face if she wants to. Besides, King Jin is old after all, who doesn't think about the seemingly sky-high wealth in his family?

Thinking of this, she just hesitated and decided to grasp the subtle psychology of the other party.

"Madame, where are you talking about this, I have accompanied Sister Huixin in Merlin for most of the day before, and my feet are still a little weak at this time, and I want to rest for a while this time. Besides, the other sisters are talking about poetry and songs, and I'm not good at that. So avoid some to avoid showing ugliness. Chen Lan said this calmly, and when he saw Mrs. Zheng's eyebrows raised, he smiled gently, "If Madam doesn't think I'm clumsy, it's natural to talk to you." ”

Mrs. Zheng glanced at the female officials beside the two concubines, and saw that her daughter Yang Qian was laughing with a few daughters over there, and even vaguely heard that the old lady in the palace was treating her well, she immediately laughed.

"Look at your humility, if you are clumsy, won't we become coarse people? After all, how many people in this world are as brocade as Princess Jin, who is just worthy of Her Royal Highness's literary style? ”

She deliberately said this loudly, and naturally someone next to her heard it, and immediately Mrs. Guangningbo and Mrs. Dongchanghou came over. Seeing Chen Lan saluting with a smile, the two of them just nodded slightly, and they couldn't help but ask what they were talking about. When Mrs. Zheng repeated it again, Mrs. Guangningbo nodded and said: "It's true, although there are many excellent works at today's poetry meeting, after all, it is the princess's poem that is the most atmospheric, and it is not comparable to ordinary boudoir daughters." His Royal Highness the King of Jin has always been known for his literary talents, and it is said that the maidservants close to the family are also fond of poetry and songs, so this is the annual poetry meeting. This is also the origin of family learning, Concubine Shuniang has always been known as a talented woman, and Aunt Lu and Aunt Chang have been talking about it before, and they are all good sentences. ”

There were more people around, and the two female officials of Lu Chang naturally didn't want to sit there blindly, so they got up and came over. The female officials of Da Chu are selected from the palace maids to read and write, and although their appearance may not be outstanding, they are all quite talented. At this time, he was humble and said two words. They talked about the good words and sentences in the plum appreciation party in the past few years, and saw that several ladies could even pick up one or two funny, but Chen Lan was always silent, and she deliberately avoided this poetry meeting before, and the two couldn't help but exchange a look.

It seems that this is really not talented in his stomach, the second concubine is no better than those ladies and concubines, the King of Jin and other people whose eyes are above the top, only beauty has no talent, how can that master look at it?

It was about their mothers who made a look, and the young ladies gradually came around, and for a while, this gossip became a place for each to show off their talents, and in an instant, there were many witty words, and I don't know how many good words and how many good poems were made. Seeing that Su Wan'er was also crowded in the middle, Chen Xi and Chen Bing were-for-tat, and Chen Lan, who was already being excluded at the end, suddenly shook his head and quietly took a few steps back, only to see Zhang Huixin waving at him.

"Why are you talking about poetry again, they haven't chanted enough when they were cold and cold before?"

Seeing Zhang Huixin's strange face, Chen Lan smiled and spread his hands and said, "Anyway, we are rough people who can't compose poetry, why don't we take the opportunity to take a break?" I see you've just been surrounded by water, but now you're finally breathing a sigh of relief. ”

"It's what it's said. They haven't finished asking this yet, and that one has spoken again, and I almost can't cope with it......" Zhang Huixin nodded again and again happily, and then pulled Chen Lan to sit down, because he smiled, "They chanted theirs, we said ours!" Speaking of the word coarse, my mother once said that although there are also Xie Daoyun's Yongxu talents among women, there are also the amazing and brilliant Yi'an Jushi, and there are also Cai Wenji's eighteen beats of Hu Ji due to displacement. But most people just blindly make some sad poems, the content is empty, if so, it is better to be illiterate coarse people. When I opened the country to Emperor Taizu, I didn't care about these poems and songs at all, although I drove the Tartars to the world, I never made a poem in my life, and I hated what poetry would be the most. ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Huixin mention that Chu Taizu, Chen Lan became a little interested, and was even more amazed that this person had never plagiarized the poems of his descendants, and couldn't help asking: "I also heard that Emperor Taizu seems to have respected martial arts and suppressed literature for a time. ”

"Yes, that's it!" Zhang Huixin nodded, pulled Chen Lan a little closer, and whispered, "Although my mother is the lord of the county, she was raised in the palace when she was a child, and she is almost like a brother and sister to the emperor, so I have read a lot of history books hidden in the palace. My mother said that Taizu was born in the military, and he was extremely close to his comrades-in-arms, and after setting the world, he also set up a strict system, and actually set up a academy to teach military ministers, and many military ministers even changed to civilian positions. Later, he felt that the civil officials were just playing tricks in the back, but the military ministers were charging in front, so in his later years, he even set a rule that the children of civil officials must join the army. It is said that there are many other rules, but they are long since abolished. ”

The military minister is transferred to a civilian position, and the children of civil officials must be in the army! The founding emperor is so bold, aren't these systems a copy of that fiery era? Either way, these have turned to dust and no longer exist.

After a few words of gossip, Chen Lan was still most concerned about the outside world after all, so he discussed softly with Zhang Huixin again. After a long while, just as the voices of the daughters over there were getting louder and louder, and when the words were flying brightly and secretly, a loud voice finally came from outside. In a flash. The main hall, which had been full of noise, suddenly fell silent.

King Jin has always been known for his demeanor, and Princess Jin has always been regarded as a model among princesses, De Jong is excellent, and rarely changes her face when she is angry, but at this time, her face is definitely not good. Nodding to everyone, she forced a smile and said: "Originally, it was rare for everyone to come back, but I had the heart to ask everyone to stay and gather more, but unfortunately my father let His Royal Highness King Zhou go out of the palace to play, and His Royal Highness is now accompanied, and I can't leave it there, so today's plum blossom appreciation can only end hastily, and I can only invite you to enjoy it next time." I have prepared a lot of gadgets before, and I ask you to take them back, which is also a festival for the Lantern Festival. ”

I heard that King Zhou was coming, and everyone knew that Princess Jin was embarrassed, so naturally they would not say anything that was not appropriate. Soon, there were girls who came up with trays. The ladies are all a palace fan, a string of fragrant wood beads, and the ladies are two Shu brocade and two feather satin, but they are all the same. When they dispersed, the three Chen Lan sisters and Zhang Huixin of the Yin family were the grandmother's family of Princess Jin on one side and Princess Jin's maiden family on the other, so they naturally fell last.

Just when Chen Lan stepped forward to say goodbye, a person from outside hurriedly came in, his face was pale, but that face was something familiar to her, who else was not Zhenlong? Seeing that she didn't care about the outsiders here, she hurriedly curtsied and saluted: "Princess, it's not good, I just saw at the second gate that Jinyiwei wants to take Xu Xianggong from our palace!" ”
