Chapter 18 Senior Reading Companions

A rigorous layout, intrigue and unique pair birthday competition, because Jiang Zhong warmed up to throw out a pair of "only three feet" couplet and had to announce the end of the flag, the ladies of the Fan Mansion knew that they were invincible, and they all stopped writing, and simply changed the pair competition to an afternoon garden.

Fan Baotong hated the couplet on the stone table in his heart, but because the words were from his grandfather's handwriting, he had some scruples in his heart after all, and he didn't want to tear it up or throw it into the water easily, so he looked at the couplet for a while, and then turned his head to look at the young man who was talking and laughing with his grandfather for a while, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, then Dong Shiyin called him: "Hulu'er, what are you still in a daze there, let's go to the garden together." ”

Fan Baotong heard Sister Dong shouting to herself, turned her anger into joy, answered, and followed quickly.

Everyone visited the garden, passing by the Octagonal Pavilion from afar, except for Dong Shiyin looking at Fan Baotong with an unclear smile, the rest of the girls couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zhong curiously, wondering what the young man who wrote the words "spoil and humiliate is not surprised, and go to stay unintentionally" is like.

Fan Baozhu glanced at it and said, "He's just good at making pairs, how about writing poems and making articles?"

Bao Tan said: "The meaning of the text is to figure it out, the poetry and articles are not only understood in the heart, but in the final analysis, it is still the kung fu of pondering sentences, he is very good at doing the right thing, and the others should not be bad." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, Fan Baotong muttered, but he didn't refute it, and then remembered something, suddenly looked uplifted, and asked, "Is it going to be Qixi next month?"

Baofeng pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "Sure enough, today is the fifth day of the sixth month." Hulu'er, what naughty idea did you come up with?"

Zhuang Yuya suddenly continued: "Brother Baotong, don't say it yet, let me guess and see if it's right." ”

Fan Baotong smiled with interest and said, "Sister Zhuang, you can guess." ”

Zhuang Yuya stretched out her jade shoot-like fingers and circled around her face, and said with a smile: "Brother Baotong must want to win a poem at the Qixi Queqiao Poetry Meeting." ”

Fan Baotong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sister Zhuang is making fun of me again." ”

Meng Jian'e smiled beside her: "If the little brother really makes a poet, then he will marry the 'Qixi Qiaonu' back to the house, and make sure that my cousin and aunt are happy." ”

Baofeng scolded with a smile: "Meng Yatou is arrogant again, a girl's family, she puts marrying all day long, and she is not ashamed, and how old is Baotong to marry?"

Fan Baotong rarely showed a cramped and shy face, and looked at Dong Shiyin with his eyes, but Dong Shiyin turned his head to look into the distance, ignoring everyone's words.

Fan Baotan said: "Sister Zhuang doesn't mean to let the little brother win the poem, but to let the little brother's companion read to win the poem, right?"

Zhuang Yuya pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, and the girls suddenly appeared, Baofeng asked: "Baotong, do you want to embarrass Xiao Chen Gongzi at the Queqiao Poetry Meeting?"

"Eldest sister, I'm not embarrassed, but a test, if grandpa really wants to arrange him for me to be a companion, I can't rely on a couplet to decide, there was no such choice before, therefore, if he wants to enter the Fan Mansion as a companion, or be a little gentleman, he must pass my level before I am willing to recognize him. ”

Fan Baotong said with an awe-inspiring and righteous attitude, but the eldest sister Fan Baofeng didn't know how to refute it.

"Little brother's clever plan, in this way, the enemy of that little Chen Gongzi is no longer just that Ouyang Hanlin and the sisters in our family, but the genius of the entire Luzhou City. ”

Fan Baotong said modestly: "In order to prove that I didn't mean to make things difficult for him, I don't ask him to win the poetry championship in the Queqiao Poetry Club, and he can enter the top three." ”

When everyone thought of the grand scene of the Queqiao Poetry Festival in previous years, they had just seen Jiang Zhong's monstrous vision, and they didn't dare to make a conclusion. Queqiao Poetry Club, how many talented people will show what they have learned in their lives for Bojiaren, and the degree of tension is not much better than the scientific examination.

Dong Shiyin, who has been silent, said: "I still remember last year's Qixi Festival, Meng Yatou's stunt of extinguishing a hundred lights with a sword. ”

Zhuang Yuya said: "It's just that Qixi is the time when women are 'begging', and Meng Yatou's sword is heroic, but it is not coincidental. ”

Meng Jian'e was full of disapproval, and immediately retorted: "Sister Zhuang, this is a layman speaking in the jargon, don't you know that swordsmanship is practiced to the extreme, and it is the same as composition, there is not only the great opening and closing of Kunhua Peng's attack on the nine heavens, but also the gentleness and delicacy of the spring water passing through the stone. ”

Zhuang Yuya smiled: "You can tell a lot of truths." ”

Baofeng also said: "Although there are many sisters in our family, only Sister Jian'e is the only one who can be literate and martial, and she may be able to be a female general in the future." ”

Bao Tan said: "Don't talk about a few of us, even in the entire Liang Kingdom, I have only heard of Princess Hongyu and Jian'e. ”

Meng Jian'e originally had a smug look on her face, and when she heard Bao Tan compare her with Princess Ruby, she hurriedly said: "Second Sister Hugh wants to kill me, how can I compare with Princess Ruby?"

When it comes to Princess Hongyu, even Dong Shiyin has no admiration on her face. When Emperor Liang brought the nine-year-old Hongyu Princess to visit Chen, Emperor Chen had the comment that "giving birth to a daughter should be like Liang Hongyu", which can be seen from his amazing talent.

The women said that they had long stayed away from the Octagonal Pavilion, and in the Octagonal Pavilion, Jiang Zhong and Old Lady Fan were really talking about entering the house to accompany the reading, but the old lady Fan felt that the couplet was not good, and had changed the idea of letting Jiang Zhong be the companion of the reading, but asked him to be Fan Baotong's little gentleman.

"With the talent of the child, it is too aggrieved to be a companion, and now I will ask Xiao Chen Gongzi to be my gourd grandson's husband, and please Xiao Chen Gongzi not refuse. ”

As soon as Jiang Zhong heard that he wanted to be the private tutor of the second young master, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, out of a self-protection psychology of "the heavier the position, the greater the responsibility", and the so-called little gentleman was actually just a "senior companion reading boy". But seeing the sincerity and expectation on Old Lady Fan's face, it was not easy to say if she refused, and said, "You have to pass the examination of Second Young Master Fan first." ”

Mrs. Fan said: "I am in charge of this matter with his father, and I can't help him, but for you to get along well in the future, Mr. Xiao Chen can only take care of it a little more." ”

The matter was settled, and after talking for a while, Mrs. Fan finally mentioned the couplet: "It's also strange to say, it's obviously the meaning in my heart, it's such a simple word, I can't say it, but Mr. Xiao Chen, after a conversation with me and a meal, I can see my thoughts, and as soon as I write it out, it is an indescribable deed." ”

Jiang Zhong thought to himself: "Obviously a businessman who controls the wealth of the sky and shoulders the inheritance of a huge family business, but he falls in love with the white clouds in the sky, this abnormality is destined to the existence of this contradiction, the heart is the form of servitude, and the body is in the cage, how to return to nature?"

Jiang Zhong said: "The more things are within reach but always difficult to do, the heavier the obsession." ”

At this point, just the tacit understanding came to the end, Mrs. Fan said: "The old man has been in business for many years, and his bones are engraved with the words 'two payments', and now Mr. Xiao Chen gave me a couplet, and I don't want gold and silver, I can't repay it, so I bought it from a master back then, and I have hidden it for many years A set of boxing books to Mr. Xiao Chen?"

Jiang Zhong, who was confused by that golden martial spirit, naturally would not refuse.
