farming female castellan

Chapter 365 Enough to give them motivation

"They are capable, so they should do more." Chen Fan said.

Bai Xiliu didn't continue talking, everyone sat down for a while, and Chaoyun came over and said that the food could be served.

After a few dishes, Bai Xiliu said, "Is this like Xiangyalou's dishes?"

Chen Fan nodded: "Yes."

"There is a cook in my family who is very good at cooking. I would like to give it to adults."

Chen Fan pursed his lips: "My family's cooking skills are also excellent, but there are few people, and it is more difficult to undertake the banquet. So please invite the restaurant to do it."

Bai Xiliu deepened her smile: "It seems that we are not lucky enough to taste the dishes from your lord's house."

Chen Fan did not respond.

After dinner, everyone went to the garden.

Fu Chun said: "I heard that Master Chen built a very beautiful garden called Su Garden. The scenery in this mansion is nothing special now."

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't made any changes to the garden. The original scenery here is also very good."

Everyone was walking, and someone slowly landed by the pond behind.Seeing this, Mu Yu walked back a few steps.

Chen Fan and the others entered the corridor, and saw the male guests walking towards the garden from a distance, and they would soon reach the pond.Tong Yiqing and the maid didn't leave, so they stood some distance away and chatted by the pond.

The people in the corridor had finished drinking two cups of tea, but Tong Yiqing and the others were still in place. They really didn't know what to do under the big willow tree.It was originally a winding path in the pond. Once they stopped on the road, it would not be very convenient for a large group of male guests to pass.

Zhang Ci turned around, and the male guests also followed in another direction.Not long after, Tong Yiqing, master and servant, walked towards the corridor.

She saluted: "Madam, please forgive me, the lotus in the pond is very beautiful, I couldn't help but look at it for a long time."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded: "Miss Tong likes the lotus in my house, I am very happy."

Tong Yiqing sat down and said: "The beauty is in front of me, how about we write poems?"

No one responded.

Mrs. Xiancheng covered her mouth and smiled: "Although my girl is the same age as Ms. Tong, her talent and learning are far behind Ms. Tong. Ms. Tong wrote two poems, and we will learn from them."

The county lieutenant's wife also smiled and said: "My girl is only 12 years old, so there is no comparison."

Tong Yiqing looked at Bo's daughter: "Miss Sun?"

Sun Ruoyun leaned forward slightly, with a smile on his face: I'm not very talented, and I know I'm not as good as Miss Tong, so I dare not speak rashly. "

"It's boring." Tong Yiqing curled her lips in disappointment, and looked at Chen Fan: "Madam and I, how about writing poems?"

Chen Fan sighed secretly, she didn't know who taught her this rule.

She smiled lightly: "Miss Tong, have you ever heard my story?"

Tong Yiqing nodded: "I heard that Madam is very good at farming, and she was rewarded by the imperial court."

That's it?

"Have you never heard of my talent? Or have you heard about it and still don't pay attention?" Chen Fan looked at her with a smile.

Tong Yiqing nodded: "I heard that Changping Academy produced fifteen candidates last year, and this year won five Jinshi. There is also a women's academy in Changping Township. Madam must be talented. I want to discuss it with Madam."

Chen Fan said with a smile: "Everyone, let's write a poem. I will give you some pointers. Chaoyun will go get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The ladies will enjoy the scenery first and think about it."

After about ten minutes, Zhao Yun came back.The male guests also entered the corridor, keeping a little distance from the female guests.

Zhang Ci said: "When the ladies have finished writing the poem, how many young masters will also write one?"

Yan Weicheng and others responded.

There is a long table in the long corridor, and everyone spreads paper and rubs ink, and starts to write poems.Chen Fan silently wrote five songs.

After a girl wrote it, everyone helped them lift it up to show.

Bo Yuyan has a lot of imagination and uses metaphors. The wives like Yuyan's two sentences very much: "Lotus leaves cut the skirt, and the lotus leaves smile." Yan Shanshan has a strong sense of rhythm, and it sounds the best when I read it. Everyone has read it several times. ;Sun Ruoyun focuses on describing the feeling of being slim.

Tong Yiqing's poems have a lot of content, and the colors and manners of the lotus and lotus leaves are mentioned, but there are no special features.Her face was a bit ugly, and she looked at Chen Fan angrily.

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "I'll show it after the young masters finish writing it."

Yan Weicheng and others finished writing it quickly, and everyone read it for a while, and then began to comment on and polish the chapters.

Yan Weicheng clapped his hands vigorously: "Wonderful, with this change, the content and artistic conception have been improved, and the rhythm is more beautiful."

Everyone looked at Chen Fan, Zhao Yun and Mu Yu lifted the paper and flattened it.

"Okay!" Yan Zhicheng shouted first.Leaving aside the content, Chen Fan's handwriting was enough to amaze everyone.

"Five poems and five fonts are so exquisite, I admire, admire!" Si Bing's son praised.

Tong Yiqing's expression became even uglier.

"Can this calligraphy be given to us to copy?" Yan Weicheng asked cautiously.

"When your article improves, I will send it to you."

Several teenagers immediately stood up straight and said proudly: "Students must work hard!"

After appreciating the words, everyone began to taste the poems.

"Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is wonderful to carve and decorate naturally."

Of course it is wonderful, it has been passed down for thousands of years.Writing ready-made poems by heart is a bit of a bully, but it is a good thing to motivate those students to work hard, and the handwriting is enough to motivate them.

Tong Yiqing looked at Juren's father who kept praising her, and twisted the handkerchief desperately.

At the end of the banquet, Chen Fan's return gifts to the scholars were all the top four treasures of the study, and the girls' paper was ten-color flower paper.

Others are jade.

The guests left one after another.Chao Yun shook his head and sighed, "You know the sky is big outside, why are you still sitting in the well and complacent?"

Mu Yu smiled: "They just know, they haven't seen or felt it with their own eyes."

Zhang Ci took Chen Fan's hand and went back to the house: "I'll go to the academy next step."

Chen Fan shook his arm: "Then it will be hard for Mr. Zhang."

Mrs. Yan also sneered in the carriage: "Master Chen is a real court official, the eldest sister of Prince Liangdi, the eldest sister of the general's wife, how dare those two old ladies put on a show for Mr. Chen? Changping Academy is a sensation Daxiang Dynasty, they don’t want to flatter and ask for advice, how dare they show off? What do they think?”

Daughter-in-law Su patted Yan Shanshan's head: "You must not be frivolous, and learn more from adults and Master Zhang."

Yan Shanshan nodded seriously, and continued to stare at the box in her hand.

Mrs. Yan smiled: "You girl, you're almost staring at the box with a hole in it, hold your breath, and look again when you get home, don't let the carriage scatter all over the floor."

Fu Chun sat on the carriage angrily: "My nephew is a Jinshi, and he wants to be a high-ranking official. How can she be so pushy as a seventh-rank county magistrate?"

Her grandson, Fu Xiangrong, was ten years old and didn't know about the affairs of the female guests. Hearing what Fu Chun said, he retorted: "Uncle hasn't been an official yet, and even if he is an official, he may not be able to be a seventh-rank county magistrate. It's a county lieutenant."
