Chapter 130: Lantern Festival
After appreciating this trip, Li Yifeng and Huang Qiyuan glanced at each other, feeling strange, and asked why. Mu did not hide this trip, and told the matter of the Yellow Mansion.
Li Huang and the others were taken aback: Strokes give birth to spirit? Could it be that Ye Junsheng can really reach such a realm?
This son has some doorways!
After some conversation, Li Yifeng invited Mu to stay and spend the Lantern Festival together.
Mu Jinxing groaned a little and agreed.
The New Year has passed, and the Lantern Festival is coming again, which also belongs to a very important festival - "a song of sheng is like the sea in spring, and the lights of a thousand doors are like day at night", this sentence is very apt to describe the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival.
One day in advance, Jizhou City has been full of lanterns, but also made a huge lantern wheel, light trees, lamp posts, etc., the city is full of fire trees and silver flowers, very prosperous and lively.
Going out to admire the moon, lighting lamps and setting off flames, dragon and lion dances, guessing lantern riddles, eating Lantern Festival, there are many programs, and they are happy.
Of course, the poetry club is also one of them - the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, the form is very free, but there is no competition for the establishment of poetry and the like, but to show their talents and enjoy their chic. There is less competition like the New Year's Poetry Club and the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club, and there is more harmony.
It's just that every time a good work is born, it will be passed on to each other.
Among them, Ye Junsheng seems to have become a topic of conversation for a long time. He did not participate in this year's Spring Festival poetry meeting, did not make a new one, but went straight back to his hometown in Pengcheng. His absence just caused more heated discussions.
Without it, just because from the Dao'an Poetry Club's "Nian Nujiao" to the two lyrics of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club of Guyunfeng, they are too good, and every one of them is basically a popular masterpiece.
In one year, three masterpieces, the output is not high. If people were still skeptical in the past, now they can basically just shut up.
Especially on the night of the full moon, Ye Junsheng finally wrote a long poem that made Liu Linyuan and other talented people go away in disgrace, and it spread throughout the Jizhou literary circle the next day, which was simply breathtaking. Many literati rushed to copy, which is quite the meaning of Jizhou paper.
As soon as this word came out, a group of researchers were immediately dumbfounded. Originally, they suspected that Ye Junsheng was suspected of plagiarism, but now where is the reason for plagiarizing the three masterpieces? There is no trace at all -- how can these old scholars think that there is a time crossing in history?
"It's just the same day!"
The only way to make a summary comment is this. is linked to the story of Ye Junsheng's dementia for 19 years and once enlightened, which is more legendary.
In the Tianhua Dynasty, the literati gained fame from their articles, but their fame came from poetry. With the circulation of the three masterpieces, Ye Junsheng's fame and influence gradually spread, not only in the north, but even to the Jingshi located in the hinterland of the territory, as well as the brilliant Jiangnan and other places.
This can be called a counterattack.
At this point, the title of the first talent in the north, Ye Junsheng has basically been confirmed. You must know that the representative talents of the three northern states are all defeated by his subordinates: the rumors of Guo Nanming vomiting blood, and the retreat in the name of study tours, Liu Linyuan, Zhao Qingbao, etc. have also been closed for a long time.
Sharp!
It's just like after a generation of Tianjiao was born in a martial arts novel, other martial arts heroes either pretended to be sick or took refuge.
But these, Ye Junsheng, as the protagonist, saw it quite lightly, and never deliberately acted swaggeringly under this name: for example, like him now, it doesn't cost to go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine; not only does he not need money, but he also comes to the door enthusiastically.
There have been many popular Oiran Kabuki who have asked Ye Junsheng to compose poems and lyrics at a high price, and there is no lack of provocative words in the wording of the invitation. Such as "the concubine is waiting for the couch", "the servile heart is unbearable, I hope that the king will come, and I will talk for a long time". It means that if Ye Junsheng is willing to write lyrics for her, not only will he have money, but he will also be able to spend time for free. As for the statement of "long talks", it is superficial rhetoric, but after going there, "frank and honest" is almost the same.
This is the welfare package of talents.
It's no wonder that since ancient times, people who have read books have wanted to be talents.
It's a pity that these invitations basically turned to ashes when Ye Junmei was at that level. Ye Junmei has always looked at his brother only as the horse, but he is very principled at this point, and resolutely opposes his brother going to the Qinglou to spend the night.
In this regard, Ye Junsheng has nothing wrong with it, but it saves a lot of trouble.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
During the day, Ye Junsheng received several invitations, one of which was an invitation from Gu Xuezheng, which was very heavy.
There is another letter, which is very strange, signed "Emei Gardener", but I don't know it.
Ye Junsheng knew Emei Garden, knew that it was an extremely mysterious and noble place in Jizhou City, and the problem was that he had never met the people inside.
Putting these invitations aside, Ye Junsheng soon began to write back the book, and all of them declined politely - just because he had promised to accompany his sister to the Lantern Festival tonight and guess the lantern riddles, how could he still have the time to accompany those dignitaries to socialize?
In his mind, the sister who depends on each other all the way is the most important. If you become famous and throw your sister aside, is that still a qualified brother?
Having time and spending more time with your family is Ye Junsheng's concept.
This concept is quite different from the world, and in the words of others, it is not enough to call it a "big husband". In their opinion, their own sister-in-law, life is good, brocade clothes and jade food are raised, and it will take two years to find a rich and noble family to marry, so why bother?
Those who do big things are not informal.
Ye Junsheng did the opposite, because he always felt that he owed Ye Junmei a lot and had to make up for it.
After writing back, ask a little guy to return it one by one, which can be regarded as an explanation.
It's still early, but Ye Junmei, Jiang Jing'er, and the little girl Ah Ge are already busy in the kitchen, making Lantern Festival.
Miss Jiang is strong in martial arts, and she has basically never been in the kitchen, but at this moment, she is a big girl on the flower bridge, and the first time she has encountered it, she can only grind the gun in battle, and she will learn and use it now.
Ye Junsheng also wanted to go in and make a move, showing off his skills, but he was immediately blasted out by the third girl, and said, "The gentleman is far away from cooking."
He had to give up, saying that there were beauties cooking and waiting, which was a great enjoyment of life. So sitting in the store, I suddenly felt it, so I spread out the four treasures of the study, picked up the pen, and practiced calligraphy.
was writing energetically, the sound of cars and horses outside the door, and when I looked up, it was Jiang Zhinian.
Old man Jiang was dusty, wearing a dark color suit, and strode into the solitary drink, followed by two dart masters, who were also acquaintances, and they were the two when Ye Junsheng followed the dart on the last trip.
Ye Junsheng hurriedly got up and saluted, without mentioning any greetings.
Hearing that her grandfather was coming, Jiang Jing'er also came out to meet her and asked Ah Ge to serve fragrant tea.
Jiang Zhinian's eyes winked at Jiang Jing'er: "Jing'er, how did you cook?" It seems that grandpa really came to this trip and was able to taste his granddaughter's craftsmanship. ”
A flush welled up on Jiang Jing'er's cheeks, and she said, "Grandpa said something, can't people cook?"
"Yes, of course!"
Jiang Zhinian stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
Jiang Jing'er blushed even more, and hurriedly returned to the kitchen.
Ye Junsheng asked, "Grandpa Jiang, are you going to come to Jizhou?"
Jiang Zhinian nodded: "After the delivery, I will come to you to take a look, not bad, really good!" got up and looked inside and out, and saw the huge mansion, which was properly arranged and had everything available. This family business has begun to see scale.
recalled that a year ago, the Ye brothers and sisters met in Pengcheng, because the house was left by their parents, it was generous. It's just that it's empty, not a single decent piece of furniture, the roof is leaking all year round, and the dishes used at home are still notched.
In comparison, it's nothing short of a stretch.
Since Ye Junsheng opened his mind, he was really out of control, and his future was bright and thriving. It is said that this house was only exchanged by him for a painting. Regardless of whether Ye Junsheng's words are worth so much money, as long as someone is willing to change it, it shows that Ye Junsheng's face and favor are very big.
Jiang Zhinian is no stranger to these. When poor scholars gain fame in the examination, it is not uncommon for local squires to send houses, all in order to sell favors. Now that Ye Junsheng is just a showman, someone has sold it well, and when he is in high school in the future, the title of the gold list will be even more unbelievable.
should have been a good grandson-in-law who couldn't even pick up a lantern, but he missed it like that...... No, you must not miss it, wait a little longer, even if you tear off this old skin, you have to say kiss.
With a good idea in his heart, Jiang Zhinian made a decision.
The next conversation involves the future of Jiang Teng's dart game. From Jiang Zhinian's tone, he already had the intention of retiring, and it was impossible for Jiang Jing'er to let her take over, so he wanted to transfer the dart game to others. After all, after so many years of wandering and hard work, the Jiang family can be regarded as laying a foundation, and now they are not in charge, so they can only let go, be a rich man with peace of mind, and live a good old age.
Ye Junsheng agrees with this. The inheritance of the dart game business is basically the relationship between father and son, or master and apprentice, but at present, Jiang Zhinian's apprentice only has Jiang Jing'er, a daughter's family, it doesn't hurt to help with darts at ordinary times, but it is difficult to really become the head of the family.
From the position of Jiang Zhinian and Jiang's mother, they would never want Jiang Jing'er to take this road for the rest of their lives, unless they recruited a son-in-law who was good at martial arts.
However, Jiang Jing'er has an independent personality and is very assertive, and it is related to the happiness of a lifetime, so let her choose first.
After waiting for two hours, it was getting late, and the Lantern Festival in the kitchen was ready and cooked. First of all, he wanted to worship the stove king, but he asked Ye Junsheng to come forward.
The Stove Monarch, in fact, is also the god who was sealed for thirty-three days, and it belongs to a big fat shortage; of course, there will be a difference between the small Stove Monarch and the Big Stove Monarch.
Ye Jun was afraid that it would coincide with the recitation of the Stove Monarch, so he didn't dare to slack off, and recited it very standardly.
After worshipping God, he immediately helped with all hands and feet, opened two tables to eat and drink.
At this time, a carnival began in the city of Jizhou, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks was heard everywhere, laughter came out in every household, and groups of children chased each other and frolicked in the streets and alleys.
A night of fun begins.
