Chapter 143 Poetry
On the morning of December 16, 29, Xiao Tong went to her parents' house. Grandma Fang Mo is now sixty-seven, and grandfather is also sixty-five. Fang Mo is at home now, and the couple are still in good health. .After experiencing such a heavy blow from the early death of their only son, and living to such an age, their mentality is very peaceful and their demeanor is very serene.

Even though he was very happy to see his granddaughter Xiao Tong, he just asked the kitchen to cook two more dishes. His attitude towards Xiao Tong was very peaceful, and he was not as pampered and excited as an ordinary old man.

Fang's mansion only entered two courtyards. It's not that they don't have the money and the right to live in a better and bigger house, but they don't like it.Fang Mo had only one husband and one only son in his life. After the only son got married, only the old couple were left to live alone.There are only three servants in Fang's house, the daughter helps with errands, the father waits on the house and does the kitchen, and the mother does some rough work.

Fang Mo and his wife did many other things by themselves. They are not idle at ordinary times, and are often busy with trivial things. Their lives are pure and simple, but fulfilling.

Xiao Tong was originally a little irritable because she was waiting for Prince Su and Mo Li, but she calmed down after seeing the life of her grandmother's family. She actually envied and yearned for such a life, but now she has responsibilities, and she has not yet passed When living like this.

However, when she gets older, she and Mo Li will be able to live like this.

Xiao Tong's cooking skills are not very good, but he can cook a few dishes by hand. They have Xiao Tong's cooking for their lunch. Because they haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, they are a little busy. Fang Mo and his wife suddenly changed their minds. Xiao Tong, who has lost his personality, just looked at it and laughed.

After lunch, because he was going to participate in the poetry meeting, Xiao Tong said goodbye, watching the two people seeing off at the door, supporting each other, such a tacit understanding, such happiness.

Xiao Tong thought, this is how we grow old together holding the hand of the son.

Suddenly he missed Mo Li crazily. Since the letter he received on the [-]th day, Mo Li hadn't heard from Mo Li again. Xiao Tong suddenly felt a little uneasy at this moment, and prayed in his heart, Mo Li, show up soon!Even if she doesn't show up, give her some news!

Xiao Tong was sent directly to the gathering place of the Poetry Club, which is the Lin Mansion of Xiao Yun's father Lin Huangguijun's mother's family. The Lin family is a typical family of scholars. all good.Let's just say that Lin Qifeng, who is now in charge of the family, is now an official to the Diange University Bachelor, and he should be an example for the world's literati.His eldest son, Gui, is the emperor. When he was young, he was famous for his good character and appearance, and he inherited the literary talent of his ancestors. His works were well-known in the country of Yan back then, and they are still regarded as masterpieces today.

Xiao Yun's bookish spirit, talent and gentle personality are not only inherited, but also deeply influenced by her father.Xiao Yun has been specializing in literature since she was a child, and has made clear the way to go in the future. Because of this, Empress Xiao Ran dotes on her very much, and Crown Princess Xiao Heng also makes friends with her.

This poetry meeting is more lively than in previous years. Xiao Yun has turned [-] this year, and the marriage cannot be delayed any longer. This poetry meeting is also meant to help Xiao Yun have a blind date. Apart from Xiao Yun's marriage, according to reliable sources, Mr. Lin Huanggui has Might show up tonight, another good one.With the news like this, many people who are related to each other have tried their best to participate in this poetry meeting. Those who have sons want to help them find a good wife. , Maybe I can still show off and get a good future.

As a result, the number of people who came to participate in this poetry meeting was double that of previous years. Before the time came, the Lin Mansion was completely busy. Because of the large number of carriages, and because of the continuous snowfall, the carriages outside the mansion were busy. Extended all the way for hundreds of meters, one after another.When Xiao Tong's carriage arrived, it was blocked, the first traffic jam after rebirth, Xiao Tong raised his eyebrows, thinking he gave her an excuse for being late.

Xiao Tong asked the coachman to turn the carriage around and stopped in a secluded alley. He took a lunch break with the birthday party in the carriage and fell asleep after a while. He didn't sleep well. He was dreaming and always saw fire. There was no reason. As a result, there was only the flames that kept spreading, suffocating people.

Xiao Tong opened her eyes, the time was only about 10 minutes, but she felt tired. Seeing that Qingsheng was still sleeping, Xiao Tong got up lightly and asked the driver to go back to the house to see if Prince Su and Mo Li had arrived. Cloaked coir raincoat left wearing a hat covered in snow, Xiao Tong sat on the shaft in a daze, staring blankly at the velvet-like snow falling continuously, the flame in his mind kept spreading repeatedly.

Xiao Tong had an ominous premonition and became more and more uneasy, but he could only wait.

When the coachman came back, Xiao Tong had become a snowman, motionless, the coachman trembled in fright, and shouted a few times, he was relieved when Xiao Tong came back to his senses, and began to worry again whether Xiao Tong would catch the cold like this .Xiao Tong jumped off the shaft, shook off the snow on his body, and signaled to the driver that nothing happened.

Xiao Tong is concerned about whether Prince Su and Mo Li have come to Yandu, but the news brought back by the coachman disappoints Xiao Tong, the two have not arrived yet, and there is no news.

Xiao Tong sighed in disappointment, the snow was so heavy inside the city, it was alright, there were people sweeping the snow all the time, but the snow outside the city was probably very thick, such weather, such road conditions, I don't know them What is the situation.

After a while, the snow stopped, and Xiao Tong asked the time, knowing that the poetry meeting had started for a while, and it would be unreasonable not to go.He ordered the coachman to go back to the Lin Mansion. There were only a few more carriages outside the Lin Mansion, but they all parked quietly by the side of the road. Xiao Tong's carriage easily drove to the gate of the Lin Mansion.

After getting out of the car and handing over the invitation, the porter respectfully led the way, Xiao Tong followed all the way, and the attendants were busy all the way, but they were well-trained. Respectful enough to wait for them to pass before starting on the road again.

Compared with the Tingxue Hall in the palace, the number of plum blossoms in the Lin Mansion is far less than that, but the layout is novel and has a different flavor. After the snow stopped, the meeting place was moved outside the house. It was lively, the crowd gathered together in twos and threes, the tables and chairs were full of pen and ink, and the originally cold garden seemed warm at this moment.

Xiao Tong walked around the garden, entered the house and took off his hat, scarf and cloak. When he turned a corner, the house was still full of excitement. Xiao Tong saw Xiao Yun at a glance. At this time, she was surrounded by men, and her smile made people feel like a spring breeze. But this is just a superficial imagination, as soon as she saw Xiao Tong, she greeted him with a happy face, and there was a message of relief in her eyes.

"Sister Tong is finally here. Just now, Mr. Qi came alone. I thought you wouldn't come." Xiao Yun said, his eyes fell on a corner. Xiao Tong followed her eyes and saw the man sitting alone in the corner. Pray.

"Didn't the road be blocked just now, so it was delayed for a while." Xiao Tong responded, his eyes fell on Qi You, and at this time Qi You also saw her, Xiao Heng pulled Xiao Tong to walk in the direction of Qi You, "Knowing that you don't like to write poems, you can chat with Mr. Qi."

Just a few steps away, the protagonist of the poetry meeting was intercepted again, Xiao Tong continued to walk towards Qiyou, sat down next to him, Qingsheng stood aside, his eyes kept falling on Qiyou.

The two of them didn't speak, Xiao Tong's mind flashed the news about asking the steward Xi about Qiyou after leaving the palace yesterday.Generally speaking, the plot of the story is relatively old-fashioned, a bit like reading a novel, but it happened in real life.

Qiyou is 23 years old this year, but he will be 24 tomorrow. He is a few months older than Mo Li. He is the eldest son of Prince Fu Qifu. His father is Prince Fu's first husband. He grew up with Prince Fu's childhood sweetheart. good.But the good times didn't last long. Not long after Qi You was born, Prince Fu met a man who is now his second husband.

Prince Fu felt guilty, and treated him even better than her husband. In the long run, I don’t know whether it is man-made or God’s will. The life of father and son became sad.
