Cui Jing was able to come, Chang Suining was a little surprised.

That night in Guozi Prison, when she made an invitation, she only felt that there was a advantage and did not take advantage of it, but she did not report ten percent of her hope - and Yao Tingwei, who enthusiastically claimed that "three people go together, wouldn't it be lively" that night, came alone early today, obviously throwing the so-called words of her peers out of the clouds.

When it comes to throwing it away when it is used up, compared with Yao Tingwei, Chang Sui Ning is ashamed of himself.

Cui Jing was invited by her, and she took the initiative to come forward to greet at this time: "Governor Cui-"

Chang Kuo saw Cui Jing and strode over, although there were accidents, he was more enthusiastic: "Why did you come here at this time?" It's going to be a little bit more than a night! ”

The degree of familiarity between him and Cui Jing is not comparable to others, and he always speaks casually.

Cui Jing explained: "There are some official affairs in the Xuan Ce Mansion that need to be cooked, so I came late. ”

Yuan Xiang quietly glanced at Chang Suining.

It's true that I'm busy with official business, but it's also true that I helped the people arranged by Chang Niangzi halfway to spread the news of the apprenticeship banquet.

"I don't have any urgent needs to cook lately...... It's rare to have a Dragon Boat Festival, and you can take a break. Chang Kuo and Cui Jing said.

Cui Jing nodded in response and motioned for Yuan Xiang to step forward.

Yuan Xiang took a box from his companion's hand and stepped forward with a smile: "Little lady Chang, this is the apprenticeship ceremony prepared for you by the governor of my family. ”

Chang Kuo stroked his beard and smiled: "Governor Cui has a heart!" ”

He rarely saw Cui Jing prepare gifts for anyone, after all, the other party never liked to participate in any banquets.

Cui Jing was surprised to come, and he never thought that he would even prepare a special gift.

"Thank you, Governor Cui." Although Chang Suining was also surprised, he knew Cui Jing's temperament, so he did not politely excuse himself.

Xi'er stepped forward to take the box handed by Yuan Xiang, which was also a long box, and it was very heavy.

The moment Xi'er took it, she was glad that she had been practicing with the girl very hard recently, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to follow so easily.

But what's in here, why is it so heavy?

Yuan Xiang looked at Xi'er's puzzled eyes in his eyes, and inexplicably felt a little uncertain - this gift prepared by the Metropolitan Governor, even if he Yuan Xiang was only a single person, but he also felt that it was not suitable to give to his daughter's family, especially as an apprenticeship ceremony, it was really incompatible.

But the Governor didn't know where he got his confidence, and said, "There is nothing more suitable for her," so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Yuan Xiang only secretly hoped that Chang Niangzi would not open it in front of all the visitors, take it out and take it out.

Fortunately, Chang Niangzi received a lot of gifts today, and she didn't show too much interest.

In addition, Chang Jialangjun staggered the topic: "I really didn't expect Uncle Qiao to make umbrellas, isn't it now learned?" ”

Chang Suining casually continued: "The third father's business is to make umbrellas. ”

Chang Sui'an said "ah": "Uncle Qiao was born as a champion back then...... Shouldn't that be a serious reader? ”

Chang Suining was stunned - Chang Suinian didn't know about this?

And those who are brothers don't know, and those who are sisters naturally don't know.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Chang Kuo's face showing doubts, as if she was about to ask where she had heard about it, but this kind of thing was familiar again, and she calmly preemptively asked: "There was a time when Daddy was drunk and said...... Is it just drunken talk? ”

Chang Kuo was stunned for a moment - also when he was drunk?

Drunk is drunk, he has nothing to say about the old thing of old Joe making umbrellas?

Chang Kuowu was puzzled, because he saw that the doubt on his daughter's face was heavier, so he smiled and said: "It's not that he is drunk, your third father used to make umbrellas at home before he was in high school, so he is also proficient in the craft of umbrella making......

Chang Suian suddenly said: "I see." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the umbrella that Chang Sui Ning was holding in his arms, and said curiously: "This umbrella should also be painted by Uncle Qiao, right?" ”

Although the umbrella is painted with a landscape map, it is incomplete to fold it up, Seeing that there are students on the side who are also curious, Chang Suining stretched the umbrella open.

As the umbrella surface was opened, the vivid cyan landscape on it was also spread out in front of everyone's eyes, attracting a lot of amazement.

"I have been good at painting landscapes for a long time...... Today is the first time I have the honor to see the real handwriting of the sacrificial wine. ”

"Where is this umbrella willing to take out in the rain......

The students admired the umbrella, and when their eyes fell on the girl in Tsing Yi holding the umbrella, they couldn't help but feel that the umbrella and people really complemented each other.

On such an occasion, some young students praised with a simple expression of beauty: "This umbrella is matched with the lady of the Chang family, at a glance, I feel that the landscape on the umbrella has come to the side of Chang Niangzi, but it seems that Chang Niangzi has melted into this landscape...... It's amazing! ”

Others echoed the admiration.

"It's amazing." Uncle Wei, who was sitting on the side of the small table and waving a folding fan, nodded with a smile.

Looking at Chang Suining's side, some students have even begun to write poems.

Yao Xia, who was invited, also ran over to look at the umbrella.

"Isn't the girl going?" Steward Fang asked Wei Miaoqing with a smile.

Yes, Wei Miaoqing also came today, according to her words, she didn't want to come, but her mother pulled her over - this deadlift is mainly reflected in the fact that Duan saw his daughter looking for her before going out, so he casually asked if she was willing to go with her.

"What's so good...... Wei Miaoqing pursed her lips and whispered: "It's not wonderful, it has something to do with the umbrella, that face is a rag, and it's also wonderful." ”

"Sister Chang, hold up the umbrella and take a look?"

After Chang Sui Ning opened the umbrella, he just held it in front of him for everyone to enjoy, and at this time, after Yao Xia and the others proposed, he planned to hold it up and give it a try.

However, as soon as she lifted the umbrella halfway, she saw a large hand stop above the surface of the umbrella: "No." ”

The hand was slender and powerful, but it was full of calluses and many old scars, and he seemed to be afraid that the rough palm of his hand would hurt the surface of the delicate umbrella, so he only stopped it, but did not really touch it—

Chang Sui Ning looked at the owner of the hand with a puzzled look.

And all the people looked at the man who spoke in confusion.

Cui Jing withdrew his hand and reminded in a low voice: "Holding an umbrella in the house, it will not grow tall." ”

Everyone: "......?" ”

Does the dignified Governor of the Xuance Mansion believe this?

It's unexpected.

Chang Sui Ning was also stunned.

Chang Kuo thought for a moment and nodded: "Is there such a saying......"

Chang Suining weighed the pros and cons and silently put away the umbrella.

She didn't care about it, but she still wanted to grow taller, so she would rather believe it.

Seeing her collect the umbrella, Cui Jing consciously reminded the idea - although strength is more important than height, girls do not have an advantage in martial arts, and it is naturally a good thing if they can grow taller.

Yuan Xiang came back to his senses and was only moved.

Others only care whether Chang Xiaoniang is beautiful when she holds up an umbrella, and only the Metropolitan Governor cares about whether Chang Niangzi grows tall or not.

The Governor's intentions are really good and peculiar...... He literally cried to death.

He saw it from the day when the governor gave the bronze talisman, the lack of love is like the governor, this is about really taking Chang Niangzi as a family, right?

It's just a subdivision, just from the perspective of this concern for the younger generation, the governor should sit at the same table with General Chang, who is a father.

"Let's take a seat!" Chang Kuo really pulled Cui Jing to sit with him.

Everyone sat down, the restaurant guy quickly served delicious wine and food, and there was an ice basin to dispel the heat, in the sound of silk and bamboo, the guests used flying flowers to order wine, and the sound of poetry and laughter never stopped.

At this time, Xi'er came to Chang Suining's side and said in a low voice: "Girl, there are many people on the street downstairs. ”

Chang Suining nodded to indicate that he understood: "Don't worry." ”

Xi'er stood aside.

"A good day should be a five-day ......"

"The wind blows my clothes."

Halfway through the banquet, the wine was rising, and the atmosphere became more and more casual, so some students came to the fence on the second floor facing the street in twos and threes with wine pots and cups to chant poems.

This movement provoked people outside the building to raise their heads to look.

In addition to some ordinary people who love to join in the fun, there is no shortage of literati.

"I heard that Wei Shilang is also there, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Not only that, but I heard that Cui Dadu Governor is also here!"

"Listen, everybody, the sound of this piano is as clear as fairy music...... I don't know who is playing the piano in the building? ”

"Wouldn't you just go in and have a look?"

"I'll be the east, let's go in and join in the fun!"

Hearing this, the one who came earlier shook his head, "I'm afraid you don't know, this Dengtai Building no longer accepts other diners today, and the second and third floors are all taken over by General Changda's Mansion to set up this apprenticeship banquet!" ”

"What about downstairs?"

"Downstairs, I was asked to hold a celebration banquet by a Cui Jialangjun."

"This ......"

Everyone sighed in disappointment.

"I thought I would have the opportunity to see the true appearance of Qiao Sacrifice Wine and Wei Shilang......"

Some people still looked up at the young students who were composing poems on the side of the fence: "Those are all students of Guozijian, right?" ”

"That's right...... Those who can be invited to come this time must be the best among the prisoners. ”

"Most of them are lifts, and some of them are going to end next year's spring ......"

Today's sages are purging the style of the imperial examination, and even did not hesitate to attack the Pei family, replacing the Ministry of Rites before the spring of next year, which means that what awaits these poor people in the coming year will be an unprecedentedly fair, even 'excessively fair' examination room for them.

At this time, looking at the students who drank wine and poems on the upper floor of Dengtai, thinking that these people may appear on the apricot list in the coming year, and then passed the palace test, hand-picked for the royal pen, and entered the court with a cold body, and everyone downstairs only felt that their hearts were becoming more and more surging and yearning.

It's just a pity that they are isolated from the outside and cannot enter.

The disappointment became heavier, and when someone shook his head and sighed to leave, he saw a group of students in long robes on the side of the railing, and suddenly there was a girl's figure-

The fair-faced girl stepped forward, and everyone saw that she was wearing a light green skirt, combing her buns, and a white hosta in her hair was like a cloud entering the green mountains, and the wind blew up the shawl between her arms, as if she was going to float away by the wind.

"Today's banquet is set up for me, although it is used for apprenticeship, but also has the heart of meeting friends with literature, if you have Yaxing, you only need to use poetry as a Cambodia, you can enter and narrate——"

The girl smiled and raised her hand to salute, and her gestures were generous, free and easy, but there was full sincerity: "I will wait and wait for you in the building." ”

As soon as she said so, the students beside her also raised their hands to invite her.

Everyone downstairs subconsciously raised their hands to return the salute.

When the girl turned around and went back to the building, everyone came back to their senses and savored it: "That's the lady of the Chang family?" He just said that he wanted to ...... Poetry as Cambodia? ”

This matter also passed through the mouth of the servants, and soon reached the ears of Chang Kuo at the table.

Chang Kuo patted his thigh: "Okay, this is a good idea!" ”

Keep drinking.

He only knows "good", but this "good" is mainly "the girl does everything well", in addition, treating people warmly is also "good", and there is no more.

It's not that he thinks shallowly, but his reckless status as a military general makes him unable to think more from the perspective of a literati.

Cui Jing, who was sitting beside him, was different-

Where Cui's son has lived since childhood, every brick and tile is piled up with literary paving.

Cui Jing held the wine cup and subconsciously looked in the direction of the building.

If she was invited directly today, due to the disparity in status and low self-esteem, many people would be deterred by this - but she proposed to use poetry as a Khmer, which truly turned this banquet into an elegant place to meet friends with literature, giving them the opportunity to respect and show their talents.

In addition to self-esteem and inferiority, many literati often have more or less pride, if she does not refuse, they may have the idea of "if everyone can enter, I will not go to this vulgar place" - but she proposed to use poetry as a Cambodia, which helped them screen out those who did not want to be in the company, and also gave them enough conditions to retain pride.

At the same time, she also helped herself sift out the people she didn't need.

She only needs the people she needs to get in.

Cui Jing's eyes fell on Chang Suining, who was seated again under Qiao's sacrificial wine.

It was only then that he truly understood her true intention of making people spread the news.

The excitement she wants is not lively in the ordinary sense.

What will happen next is not difficult to predict.

But what will evolve in the end is immeasurable.

Downstairs, Chang Suining got an explanation, and he had set up a small table in the hall, spread paper and grind on it, and two scholars sat on it.

"I'm going to try ......"

A young literati came forward, wrote a poem in his mouth, was copied by the scholar, signed his name and surname, and was invited to the second floor.

As he walked upstairs step by step, the literati still felt unreal, and the sound of the piano upstairs, poetry, and laughter, weaving into an elegant, sublime and unattainable painting, with the slightest coolness emanating from the ice basin, spread out in front of him like a dream—

And now, he is unknown, and he is about to become one of these paintings.

"I was really invited in!"

"I'll do it too!"

"Brother Zhao, please first-"

“……”

Seeing that more than a dozen people were invited upstairs, Hu Huan asked with some hesitation: "Do we still need to go up to support Chang Niangzi?" ”

Cui Lang, who was just about to go upstairs, came back to his senses: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Of course, the field doesn't need to be supported, but the seat has to be grabbed!

Who doesn't know how to compose poetry?

It's nothing more than a distinction between good and bad.

The dignified Cui family, can't you think of a good one, and can't you come up with a bad one?

Cui Lang hurriedly squeezed forward.

"Is Childe going?" The scholar beside Xi Zhiyuan asked.

"Of course." The young man smiled and walked forward.

Soon, Dengtailou apprenticed to the banquet, "to meet friends with literature, to poetry as Cambodia", the wind generally spread in all directions.

Good night, see you tomorrow~
