Chapter 331: Small Actions

Haitang asked Haijiao to recite the poem written by Zhou Sujun, who he had read in his previous life.

Fortunately, both poems are not long, and the diction is not complicated. Although Haijiao became an out-of-school teenager at a young age in his previous life, after all, he had read books with Tanhua for several years, and his foundation was very good, so he easily wrote down Zhou Sujun's poems.

Begonia is not good at reciting poetry, but she still has a certain appreciation of poetry. In her opinion, although Zhou Sujun's two poems are few in the use of allusions and the rhetoric is simple, they are better in artistic conception, and there is a sense of great ingenuity, which makes people seem to be able to see the border passes depicted in the poems through the words.

Biansai poems don't need so many gorgeous rhetoric and complicated allusions, and they can properly describe the lofty and lofty Xiaosu of the border pass and the vastness and majesty of the desert wilderness, which is already a very rare poem. Although such poems do not conform to the current mainstream of the Great Chu literary circle, this does not affect the value of a good poem.

In Haitang's opinion, compared with Jin Shan's pretentious resentment poems, these two poems are more than ten times smarter. If Tang Hui really has some attainments in poetry, and is not a layman who is easy to see, there is no reason not to see the advantages of these two poems.

Haitang couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect it, the sixth room of the Zhou family is a well-known rough child, and Zhou Sujun basically completed his education in the Zhou family, right?" can still grow into a poet, did we underestimate the Zhou family too much before? I think his literary level is better than that of his aunt and grandfather, why is it that his aunt's and grandfather's literary name spread all over Chang'an, but Zhou Sujun is not famous? ”

Haijiao smiled: "It's still early. In his previous life, Zhou Sujun was at least twenty years old, he had seen the world on the battlefield, suffered bereavement, experienced family changes, and felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings, so he could write such a poem. He is still a fledgling stunned young man at the moment, except for burying his head in hard practice of archery, there is nothing surprising. Although he is good at homework, the Zhou clan does not test poetry, nor does he require people to recite allusions to scriptures and history, and he learns the art of war and strategies to be tested ordinarily, and his reputation is naturally not obvious. ”

However, the reef doesn't think it's a big problem. Zhou Sujun is about to turn eighteen, and according to the rules of the Zhou family, he should go to the border next year to practice. Although the northwest border is peaceful at present, there will be small-scale scattered conflicts between the Great Chu and the Hu people every year, and there are always sand thieves and horse bandits in the desert. After a few years of experience at the border, he opened his eyes and increased his knowledge, and naturally, he was able to write good poems.

Tang Hui is not in time yet, and she has encountered the calculations of the Jin family, and she can wait for two or three more years after the official engagement, and then marry Zhou Sujun when the rumors have completely dispersed. At that time, Zhou Sujun was already a poet who could sing poetry and love, and he could sing poetry and harmony with Tang Hui and his wife.

Haitang listened speechlessly as Haijiao arranged life for Zhou Sujun and Tang Hui, and couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "Can things really go as smoothly as my brother thought?" Although you have discussed it very well with Tang Meng and Zhou Yijun, whether the marriage can be completed depends on the intention of the parties and the wishes of the parents of the parties, right? ”

Hai Jiao waved his hand: "Don't worry! Since I gave them an idea and they approved of it, there was no reason why I shouldn't be prepared. We're not stupid! ”

After Zhou Yijun and Tang Meng reached a consensus, they each went to discuss with the parties to determine the attitudes of both parties, and then started small actions.

Zhou Sujun was naturally overjoyed when he learned that he had the opportunity to marry his sweetheart. However, he knew that the matter had not yet been brushed off, so he was quite calm, did not disclose the news to anyone, and only concentrated on practicing arrows, even in the month of the New Year, he insisted on constantly practicing hard every day, and never relaxed. His diligence has been appreciated by Zhen Guogong, and he has praised him several times in front of his comrades and acquaintances.

Among the people who heard these praises were Old Lady Tang and General Tang. They didn't have the leisure to take care of anything else at the moment, but with Tang Meng carefully beating the side drum in front of him, and Zhou Yijun also said good things about Zhou Sujun in front of the Duchess of Zhenguo and Mrs. Tuesday, these elders gradually discovered the advantages of the second son of the sixth son of the Zhou family, who had not paid much attention to it in the past.

Duchess Zhenguo and Mrs. Tuesday are still thinking about the family affairs of Tang Hui and Tang Ruo's sisters. Tang Ruo is not in a hurry, but after Tang Hui's marriage is resolved to the Jin family, it must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, so as not to repeat it again. Zhou Sujun is such a ready-made good candidate here, how could they ignore it? Although he is a side branch, his family is mediocre, and he is not the eldest son who inherited the family business, but the current situation is complicated, and he can't take care of it so much. Most of the children of the Zhou family are suitable for marriage, and they have already been married before the age of fifteen. The Tang family used to be so picky that they missed too many young talents who were okay, but now they no longer have the capital to be picky.

On the other side, Tang Meng also conveyed the news to his cousin and cousin Tang Hui. She still remembered Zhou Sujun, although she was surprised by this candidate, but after thinking about it for one night, she expressed her tacit approval to her cousin and cousin.

Haitang guessed that she probably didn't really have a heart for Zhou Sujun. She had just been hurt emotionally, and it was impossible for her to empathize so quickly. It's just that she is not doing well in the Tang family now, in order to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, she naturally has to hold on to Zhou Sujun, a life-saving straw.

Thinking about it like this, Haitang couldn't help but feel a little upset for Zhou Sujun in her heart. No matter what his family background is, he was a real hero in his last life, and he was talented and capable. Tang Hui is not a smart girl, and she doesn't know anything about him, she only agreed to the marriage for herself, and she seems to be a little unworthy of such a hero. But who told Zhou Sujun to like her? If you didn't really like it, you wouldn't have asked to marry Tang Hui on this cusp.

Begonia sighed and didn't say anything more.

The two families of Zhou and Tang who can decide the marriage of Tang Hui and Zhou Sujun have a tacit understanding with each other, but the news has not leaked at all. At present, the marriage contract between Tang Hui and Jin Shan has not been resolved, whether it is the Tang family or the Zhou family, no one will talk about this kind of thing publicly. But as long as this problem is no longer a problem, Old Lady Tang, General Tang, Duchess Zhenguo, and Mrs. Tuesday will naturally seize the opportunity to promote the marriage of the third generation of the two families.

Haitang is a little curious, how will the Tang family solve Jin Shan and the Jin family? Are they waiting for them to give up on their own, or are they going to wait for the results of Kim Sun's so-cai test to come out?

Facts have proved that the Tang family is more neat and neat than Haitang expected, and the methods are much more ruthless.

Just out of the first month, there are still a few days before the county test, and the Jin family's baby egg Jin Shan has an accident.

He was attacked in the Qinglou, which he knew most and frequented. The other party is a frequent visitor of Oiran recently, and because he is not used to seeing Oiran's courtesy and closeness to Jin Shan, he is jealous, so he beats him up and discounts his right arm. Although he will not be crippled, he will not be able to write articles normally for more than three months, and he may not be able to end this year's children's exam.

The beater is a well-known gentleman, and it is common to be jealous, drink and fight in the green building, and then be beaten by the family, locked up for ten days and a half months, and then the elders come forward to compensate the master for a sum of money, which is a common operation. When things change, he can continue to go out and spend all day drinking, and nothing will get in the way.

But Jin Shan can't end up this year, and if he can't get a show, he can't talk about the marriage contract with the Tang family.

What's worse is that he should have concentrated on preparing for the exam at home, and the Jin family preached everywhere how hard he was and how well he studied his homework, and that the future of the imperial examination would be bright, and he would be able to marry his "sweetheart" within the year, but he sneaked out of the house to meet the beautiful woman in the Qinglou.

This is a romantic genius to say well, but if it is not good, he is a womanizer who does not know the severity, where is there such a gentle and courteous person as the Jin family claims, and he has a deep affection for the eldest lady of the Tang family?
