Longxing Racecourse,

After a cup of tea, the little official of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the selection bowed down and asked the two: "I don't know what the crown princess and Princess Su want to compare?" ”

Su Tian was the first to speak: "This palace still has some talent in making poetry," she looked at the people below: "You can ask questions at will, Meilan Zhuju can do it." ”

The eyes of the ladies lit up when they heard this, and many people who liked poetry were looking forward to it, no matter what Su Tian's character was, the poems she made were really amazing.

The official of the Ministry of Rites nodded: "Okay, in order to show fairness, one person can be randomly selected to answer the question at that time." ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Shen Mingjiao: "I don't know what Princess Su plans to compare?" ”

Shen Mingjiao smiled faintly: "Except for a face, I don't seem to have any talent that can be used!" ”

Everyone: "......" can't see that you are quite self-aware.

"So...... I'll also make poems! ”

Everyone: "......" is a poem compared with the recognized first talented woman in the Great Xia Kingdom, are you serious?

Rao is Su Tian, and he was a little confused for a while. She knew that Shen Mingjiao was very good at painting, but her purpose was not to compete to win or lose.

was quickly pondering in her mind what trickery Shen Mingjiao was going to make, but when she saw Shen Mingjiao finish saying this, she pointed to Yun Shu, who was dressed as a maid behind her, and said:

"But I'm not in a good state today, and I can't do poetry, so I'll let my maid do it for me!"

Everyone was stunned again, and let a maid and the dignified princess compare to a poem, this is a naked humiliation!

However, this is not counting, Tao Ping, who had freshened up and changed her clothes, came over, and just saw Yun Shu in a glance, her face changed, she pointed at Yun Shu, and said sharply:

"It's you, why are you here?"

Her sister-in-law frowned and stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder, and persuaded in a low voice: "So many people are watching, what is there to talk about when you go back...... isn't it shameful enough?"

Tao Ping couldn't care about this, she gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Do you know who she is?" She is the flower girl who has been pestering Ji Lang in the past, a shameless and lowly prostitute! ”

Because she is the youngest daughter in the family, she has been used to not talking like her since she was a child, and she has no scruples about such an occasion at this time.

Everyone was in an uproar, and couldn't help but look up at Yun Shu who was standing beside Shen Mingjiao, and at this glance, many people were shaken by her face.

has the same type of bright appearance as Shen Mingjiao, but Shen Mingjiao's aura is too full, and Yun Shu is deliberately restrained, so no one noticed it before.

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Yun Shu raised her head and generously admitted:

"That's right, I used to be the top brand of Jiangnan Qunfang Building. Although I didn't take customers seriously, I did get mixed with the dust. ”

Xu has experienced too much, and she has never been afraid to mention the years when she was a flower girl.

It is not what she wants to fall into the dust, and she has neither broken the law nor destroyed other people's families, so what is there to be ashamed of by making money with her ability?

Everyone gasped, and looked at Yun Shu with a faint disdain in their eyes.

At all times, prostitutes and the like are disgusted by people, especially women.

However, because of Shen Mingjiao, they didn't dare to show it too obviously.

After Yun Shu finished speaking, she walked in front of Tao Ping, "But this lady's words, I can't agree with it." She had a pair of beautiful eyes in the cold.

"If it weren't for me, Madame would never have met Ji Wei, a talented Tanhualang. Because if it weren't for me, he would have starved to death on the streets after being kicked out of his house by his people. ”

Tao Ping's eyes flashed, she obviously knew everything, but looking at Yun Shu's beautiful and charming face, she couldn't control the jealousy in her heart.

raised his hand and slapped Yun Shu's face, "I'll kill you ......"

Before her hand fell, she was lightly held against a fan, she raised her head resentfully, and looked at a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be smiling:

"Looks like you really don't want this tongue?"

Thinking of the feeling of the sharp blade brushing his mouth just now, Tao Ping's body trembled instinctively.

Shen Mingjiao threw away the fan, turned around a little impatiently, pointed at Yun Shu and said to Su Tian: "If you want to compare, hurry up." ”

Su Tian stared at her coldly: "You let me compare the princess of a country with a prostitute, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Everyone also felt that Shen Mingjiao was too much, no matter who lost or won in the end, it was a shame for Su Tian.

Shen Mingjiao shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "If you don't want to compare, you can pull it down, then continue to vote!" With that, it seemed like he was about to get up and leave.

Everyone thought that Su Tian would refuse with a cold face, after all, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he can't bear this kind of humiliation, but unexpectedly. Su Tian only hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I promise." ”

She did these things, and the ultimate goal was only one, that is, to make it impossible for Jing and Emperor to kill her easily.

Now I don't know where something has changed, and my plans have changed. She had to find another way.

When she went to Fengming Palace yesterday, she happened to hear the queen mention that the border pass did not seem to be peaceful recently, and if there was to be another war, the treasury would be a little tight. I don't know how much the annual salary of the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom will increase......

When she heard the news, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she thought of a policy of a certain dynasty in high school history about opening up sources and reducing expenses for border soldiers. I remember that at that time, I was taught two classes by the teacher as a compulsory knowledge.

And because her father is a professor of ancient Chinese, he has always paid close attention to her history, so she remembers it so clearly.

She proposed that the competition to make poetry was fake, but in fact, she wanted to bring up this topic by making poetry, and then try to get the news to Jing and Di's ears.

Since both sides should be compared to poems, the official in charge of the selection proposed that the literate women present should each make their own questions, and then write down the questions they wanted to do on the paper, and then put all the questions together, and Su Tian and Yun Shu stepped forward to draw the questions, and the cycle went on and on until one of them could not admit defeat.

Both parties have no opinions, and Su Tian, who is familiar with all kinds of poems in China for 5,000 years, is absolutely confident in making poems. And Yun Shu, a flower girl who has not received any orthodox education, even if she has a little talent, she will never be able to beat her.

Su Tian took the lead in stepping forward, pulled out a note casually, opened it, and wrote the word pear blossom crookedly on it.

Su Tianxiao became more and more confident and calm, and sure enough, these boudoir women who had never seen much of the world could at most think of some flowers and plants.

Throughout the 5,000 years of China, there are many classic poems about peach blossoms and pear blossoms.

followed by Yun Shu, her luck was obviously much worse than Su Tian, and what she drew was a "well",

I don't know who came up with the question, even if everyone present doesn't have a good impression of Yun Shu, they all have some sympathy for her at the moment.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Su tilted his head and slowly pursed his lips:

"Before the wind, I want to persuade Chunguang to live, and Spring is on Fangcao Road in the south of the city.

It did not fall into the water's edge with the flow, and it was made of floating mud.

In the mirror, I have felt that the stars are wrong, and people live up to their conceit.

Dreaming back to people is far away and sad, only in the pear blossom wind and rain. ”

After she finished reading, the scene was quiet for a moment, and then there was a burst of applause. Even many ordinary women who don't know how to write and ink inexplicably feel that her poem is very good.

For a while, everyone's gaze at Su Tian could be said to be extremely reverent.

To everyone's surprise, Yun Shu also made it, although it was not as amazing as this one, but it was also very good. A few ladies and ladies in the front row who usually like to study poetry said directly after listening to it, Yun Shu's poems are very spiritual, but unfortunately they ran into Su Tian.

Su Tian was a little surprised, and at the same time raised his vigilance slightly.

Next, Su Tian drew "peach blossoms", and Yun Shu was "pine and cypress".

Su Tian stayed on Yun Shu's note for a moment, and withdrew his gaze with some regret.

She doesn't memorize many poems about the bitter cold of the border passes, and one of the poems she knows just mentions "pine and cypress". As long as she draws the title of "pine and cypress" and recites this poem, she can take the opportunity to mention the bitter cold at the border now, and then she will say the solution in front of these people. Nowadays, the border soldiers are tightened with food.

The reason why she didn't go directly to Emperor Jing and Emperor was because only by letting everyone know that she came up with this method, Emperor Jing He couldn't dispose of her at will.

But it doesn't matter, it's still the same sentence, these ancient women here have limited knowledge, and the questions they come up with are basically the same, as long as they try a few more times, they can always draw "pine and cypress".

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom.

The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room.

The peach is dying, and there is a time.

The son is home, and his family room is appropriate.

The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming.

The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. ”

This time, the crowd's amazement was even greater. I only feel that Su Tian is really the first strange woman in the ages, such a popular poem with vivid artistic conception. Open your mouth and come.

Even Shen Mingjiao was amazed by this poem. She was a little curious about what kind of world Su Qian and Shen Mingyan were in?

Yun Shu also immediately read out the poem she made, although she wrote very well, but with Su Tianzhuyu in front, everyone felt that it was not so amazing.

Next, five or six in a row, Su Tian drew all "peach blossoms" and "pear blossoms".

Now, although her face is still calm, fine sweat unconsciously breaks out on her forehead.

No matter how many ancient poems she memorized, they were not inexhaustible. Not to mention poems that revolve around the same title in a row. And Yun Shu actually drew "pine and cypress" three times in a row, which made her secretly unwilling at the same time, and also dispelled the suspicion that someone was tricky.

"The peach blossoms bloom in clusters without owners, and the lovely crimson loves light red. The crazy catkins go with the wind, and the light peach blossoms flow ......"

"The peach blossoms bloom first in spring, and no one looks at it. Once the color of the flowers is light, the sound is perfect, and the people are scattered. The east wind ruthlessly broke the flowers, the scenery changed, and the vain lamented. Red face and dry bones, life and death write joys and sorrows......"

After reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief without a trace. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, reached out and pulled out a note, only to open it again, and it was written "Pear Blossom"

Her face distorted for a moment, but at this point, she was already unable to ride a tiger, so she had to rack her brains to think of the poems corresponding to the pear blossoms.

So she naturally didn't notice that after she finished reading the first two poems, the women who were good at poetry in the front row were stunned for a while. And then what seems to have reacted? The eyes are full of disbelief and collapse.

Seeing that Yun Shu easily finished another poem, she was in a hurry and blurted out:

"The north wind swept the ground and the grass folded, and the snow flew in August.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom,"

I didn't react until I read it, it seems that something is wrong?

Then I thought that all the women present were women, and most of them didn't even know a word. Even if something went wrong with her, no one would have noticed.

She took another deep breath and reached for the paper. A nasty delicate girl suddenly sounded in her ears: "Slow down." ”

For some reason, the uneasiness in Su Tian's heart became more and more intense, and she turned around with a cold face:

"What? Princess Su can't afford to lose and wants to deny it. ”

Shen Mingjiao stood up with a smile: "The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law said that they were joking, why should I deny it?" ”

She walked over. But he smiled and asked, "Didn't you notice that there was something wrong with the poem you just read?"

The north wind swept the ground and the grass folded, and the snow flew in August.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom,

A good poem indeed. It's just that...... Although I am not very good at writing poems, I can read that this poem is not a pear blossom, but a snowflake! ”

After speaking, he looked at her with a smile: "As the first talented woman in the Great Xia Kingdom, you have done so many good poems, you won't even be able to distinguish this simple artistic conception!" ”

With a "boom", Su Tian's brain exploded suddenly, and he finally reacted, where did the sense of disobedience in his heart come from.

This poem was a must-learn in junior high school, and I remember the teacher saying it many times at the time. It is said that this poem is definitely not written about pear blossoms, but about snowflakes as a metaphor.
