Chapter 59: Changing Rules

After Huo Jiuge took a seat, everyone already knew her identity, it turned out that she was the young lady of Rongguo Mansion who had been sick in Jinling.

Suddenly, the audience began to commotion, because the rumored her was too unbearable, and everyone couldn't pity her with the beauty in front of her, so a bold person immediately stood up and said: "It was rumored that the young lady of the Rongguo Mansion was frail and sick, and she had been raised in Jinling, why did she attend here today?" Could it be that the rumors are false, your Huo family deliberately hid people, and then found a chance to appear? ”

The person who said this, Huo Jiuge didn't know where he offended him, it seemed that he was boasting about himself, but in fact, he pushed himself in front of everyone, let himself perform his talents, and played for them under the guise of justifying his name.

She is the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion and not the dancer of the Opera Workshop, how can she perform on stage? Huo Jiuge just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the Qin clan snatched her words away: "Jiuge has been raised in Jinling since he was a child to study poetry and painting, and now he is coming back to take care of his grandfather. ”

She directly added a handful of firewood to the fire, and then watched Huo Jiuge save himself in the flames.

"Oh." The other party immediately followed her words: "It seems that the young lady of the Huo family is not only talented and beautiful, but also sincere in her filial piety." ”

When the other party was praising Huo Jiuge, he didn't forget to bring the other girls of the Huo family in, after all, Huo Jiuge was a newcomer who had just arrived, and everyone didn't know her ability, but for the other two girls of the Huo family, they knew very well, especially the eldest lady of the Huo family, who was a well-known talented girl, who once moved the world with a green waist dance.

Someone once wrote a poem like this: There is a beautiful woman in the Huo family, a light green waist dance, a banquet in the ninth autumn twilight, and a flying coat blowing clouds and rain. This directly established her reputation as the first talented woman in the capital.

Now he said this on purpose, just to wait for the two of them to compete.

And the ladies in the seats were also those Beijing nobles who looked down on Huo Jiuge before, and they were already a little jealous when they saw her dressed like this, so there were many people who wanted to see her ugly, so following these words, they said that it was better to take this opportunity to let everyone have a try.

Huo Jiuge curled his lips and said unhurriedly: "Today is a banquet held to celebrate the success of the imperial examination, and it is not a dance girl selection competition of the famous opera music workshop, if anyone likes to watch these, they can go out and go straight and turn left, so why waste time here?" ”

As soon as Huo Jiu Ge said this, the field suddenly fell silent.

Go straight from here and turn left, and those who don't know are still wondering what this means, but those who know have long been ashamed and embarrassed, especially the most fierce men.

Because that place was the largest gathering place of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital, as soon as Huo Jiu Ge said this, he undoubtedly slapped those who wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

But they can't be angry, and if they do, they can only show that they know the place she said they know very well, otherwise they wouldn't have found the place she said so quickly.

Now even the Qin people who are ready to let their daughter become famous in the world again with a song of Zhezhi Dance are not good to open this mouth again, originally a major banquet like this, let some women from big families show their talents in the name of competition, it is already a tacit procedure for everyone, but now that Huo Jiuge said it, she was directly involved with the singer, so wouldn't her efforts be a waste of time?

Of course, she wouldn't let her efforts go to waste, she said in a different way: "This is just a time for everyone's pastime, if Jiu Ge is not ready, it is better to let the other ladies give you a sample first, you will learn in the future, so that you will not be prepared for anything next time." ”

"Didn't my aunt understand what I meant?" Huo Jiuge tilted her head and asked, she said: "The people gathered here today are all full of poetry and books, even if they want to compete, they must follow the way of readers." ”

Qin Shi was stunned, she didn't understand what the way she was talking about reading people, but she vaguely felt that her previous efforts were about to be nullified.

Just when she was stunned, a voice interrupted her: "She is worthy of General Huo's daughter, and even her way of speaking is different from that of ordinary young ladies." ”

It was Cai Jin, the chief lieutenant of the capital, who said this, Lord Cai, he was half of Huo Xin's teacher, and when Huo Xin was still there, he often asked him for some Confucian interpretations.

Now Cai Jin is over sixty years old, but he is still in good spirits, and he is also one of the candidates for this year's imperial examination, he has a good relationship with Huo Xin, and even the elegiac couplets at Huo Xin's funeral were personally written by him, Huo Jiuge's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her father who died early, Cai Jin looked at his heart and sighed, if Huo Xin was still alive, maybe the two of them could still make tea around the stove like before, talk and laugh.

Huo Jiuge looked at Cai Jin who was speaking, although he felt very strange, but from his eyes, he knew that he had no malicious intent, so he smiled back.

"In that case, let's do it another way." Cai Jin looked at the flowers on his coffee table and said: "It is not only a spring day, but also a day when a hundred flowers are in full bloom, please make a poem with flowers, and let our Confucian scholars evaluate and evaluate to see who does the best." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below, and they all discussed, Xiao Chengji heard this, snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully: "I know that I have no talent and no virtue, and I deliberately find this excuse to delay time." ”

Although it was Huo Jiuge who rescued the queen mother from the ghost gate, he didn't think that this was her credit, thinking that she was just lucky by mistake.

After some discussion, everyone said that they would do what Master Cai said, so that everyone can participate in this event, which is a good thing for people who are really capable, in front of so many people, if they come out on top, wouldn't they be famous all over the world?

So everyone geared up and began to prepare.

Huo Qingshang saw that the rules of the game had suddenly changed, she immediately panicked, although she was proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but for this banquet, she practiced the difficult Zhezhi dance more than a hundred times, but now it was suddenly changed to poetry, and she didn't have any preparation at all.

She cast a distressed gaze to the Qin family, but the Qin family made her relax, although the prepared dance could not be completed, but she didn't believe that Huo Jiuge could write any good poems if he stayed in that place in Jinling.

She believes that the final winner will definitely be her daughter, and Huo Jiuge can only be trampled under the feet of others, and she will never be able to turn over!
