Chapter 28
In the south study room today, Kangxi kept looking at Li Guangdi, and Li Guangdi kept looking at the western clock in the corner.
"Li Guangdi..."
"The old minister is here."
Just as Li Guangdi looked away from the clock in the corner, he heard Kangxi shout.
He was startled, trembled, and hurriedly responded.
Kangxi held a pair of literati painting fans in his hand, clasping the bones one by one, a little leisurely.
The imperial case is full of memorials, all of which have been corrected today.
Kangxi dragged his voice, and said unhurriedly: "You work faster than others today. Zhang Ying, do you think so?"
Zhang Ying stroked his beard and nodded, "Long Live Lord's eyes are like a torch. Today, Mr. Li is very fast whether he is writing or reading memorials."
Li Guangdi's heart skipped a beat, mother, what mistake did he make?
"Long live Lord..." Li Guangdi was about to say something while muttering, but Li Guangdi always felt uneasy in his heart.
Mingzhu and Suo'etu had just left, and the older brothers had left too. At this time, there were not many internal ministers left in the South Study.
Kangxi interrupted him: "To be honest, you stared at the Western clock more than ten times this morning, and I asked San Dezi to count it. San Dezi, let me tell you how many times Mr. Li watched it this morning. Clock back?"
San Dezi let out a "squeak", came up quickly, and cleared his throat: "When I came in this morning, Mr. Li had already looked at the clock in the corner eighteen times, and six times he was stopped by the Long Live Lord halfway, and he failed to see it as a clock." .”
Zhang Ying stood aside and smiled unkindly.
Hearing this, Li Guangdi was so anxious that his head was sweating, he immediately knelt down: "The old minister is guilty..."
"Master Li, what is the crime?"
Kangxi is in a good mood today, and the previous Erhe case didn't affect his mood, at least it's settled and let the capable minister Jin Fu?Taking Wang Xinming's previous position, he became the governor of the river, and rushed to take office. I think the matter of the spring flood in the south of the Yangtze River will be dealt with in a short time.
As soon as he thought of this, his tone became more relaxed.
This question left Li Guangdi speechless again.
Oh, hey, he really wants to slap himself a few times, isn't this shooting himself in the foot?
Long live Lord asked him what he was guilty of. Can he say that he has been staring at the Western clock?There is no such thing in the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty!
"This this……"
"Come on, hurry up and tell the truth, what are you thinking about in your head this morning?"
Kangxi was simply curious. He had never seen Li Guangdi before so distracted.I don't know what happened to me today, it's like I can't sit still for a moment.
Zhang Ying knew what was going on, but he chose to sit on the sidelines and was too lazy to talk to Li Guangdi.
Li Guangdi's forehead was full of sweat: "Long live, a couple of sons and daughters in the minister's family are going to hold a Spring Festival banquet today, and they are asking the minister to be the judge. They can't judge by themselves, and they will divide the lottery according to the judgment result of the minister. It's all Junior, the minister has said all this, and I agree..."
"Oh, so it's about time."
Lord Kangxi spread his fan like this, and shook it with San Dezi next to him, and San Dezi hurriedly said "Ouch": "Dare to love our Long Live Lord, in your Master Li's mind, it is not as good as a poetry meeting..."
Zhang Ying, an old fox, stood with his hands down and watched Li Guang anxiously.
Li Guangdi didn't know what to say, "I don't dare to die, I don't dare to die..."
"Okay, I didn't say I want your head, why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, the memorial was finished so early today, and it all depends on your ability, Mr. Li, to be able to talk quickly in the morning, and reading a memorial is like chanting a scripture. "
Kangxi was very angry when he heard the memorial this morning, but fortunately he is still a wise king, if he were to change to someone else, he might have scolded Li Guangdi early.
"Zuo Zuo has nothing to do today, and I'm going to pay a private visit, so I'll go to your house to watch the poetry meeting, San Dezi, get ready."
Li Guang's eyes widened, as if he had never expected such a development.
Seeing Kangxi happily changing into casual clothes, Li Guangdi was dumbfounded for a long time, then turned to see Zhang Ying: "Master Zhang, this..."
Zhang Ying went up and patted Li Guangdi on the shoulder: "I'll go back and tell my three sons, you can ask for blessings."
Zhang Ying has always been a quiet person, and because he is a Han minister, he is not as trustworthy as the ministers of the Manchu and Mongolian courts.To be able to get to this point, it can be said that they all stepped on the ice step by step cautiously.The more it is like this, the more low-key it is.
He went to mention his sons, not to tell them to take advantage of the emperor's going to show off, but to remind them not to show off.
Li Guangdi frowned, just to see Zhang Ying holding him?Dai Hualing went out.
He stumbled and sighed, alas, he has been sailing carefully for thousands of years, but today he fell down because of frequently looking at the Western clock, what an old horse stumbled!
When Kangxi came out, he was almost like Yuanwailang. He asked Li Guangdi to walk in front, and said he would act as Li Guangdi's aide.
Li Guang's heart trembled, he didn't dare to refute, and several people went out like this.
At the door, I met Yinzhen who was coming back from school, and Lord Kangxi was in a good mood, so he called him directly: "I can't see the clothes on the fourth son today, let's go together."
Don't say whether Yinzhen knows or not, anyway, five people came out like this.
Both Li Guangdi and Yinzhen called Kangxi "Mr. Huang", San Dezi called "Huang Sanye", "Huang Sanye" called himself "I", and Xiao Shengzi called Yinzhen "Four Young Masters", that's all.
They went all the way to Li Guangdi's mansion, and the guests in the front and back yards had already arrived and started to move around.
When the Xichun Banquet was in full swing, all the flowers and stamens could be seen, but because of the atmosphere of the end of spring, everyone was still very happy.
Li Zhen'er, the jewel in Li Guangdi's palm, is a beauty. She greeted her all the way in the backyard, and finally saw Gu Huaishu sitting in the farthest corner.
Gu Huaixiu is not dressed up very gorgeously today, but she is really delicate and delicate like a hibiscus flower, not to mention standing in front of everyone, even sitting in this corner, it is as if she can dazzle people's eyes.
In the past, this third young lady of the Gu family never went out. There were rumors in the past that she was hooking up with foreign men, but now she just sits here casually when she sees her.
Li Zhen'er couldn't help being a little curious in her heart, and taking the opportunity of walking over, she chatted with Gu Huaishu.
"Miss Gu San, this Wing Chun poem is about to be handed in, why are you still sitting here?"
Hearing the words, Gu Huaixiu retracted his eyes and looked at Li Zhen'er. She was indeed a delicate beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was more like a master. His father Li Guangdi was both civil and military. He was also a handsome man with extraordinary martial arts in his early years. It is natural for a child to be gorgeous and overwhelm the crowd.
Seeing this, all the ladies around her felt their teeth itch with hatred.
This Li Zhen'er and Gu Huaixiu are both the type of people who are gorgeous and can dazzle people without makeup.When they get together now, it's an eyesore and an eyesore, it's an eyesore!
Gu Huaixiu got up and saluted: "It's just that I feel a little sad seeing the scene of the end of spring."
lie.
It must be a lie.
Qing Dai didn't need to look at her own lady's expression to know.
Gu Huaishu is not hurting the spring and autumn, she is thinking about poetry.
Qing Dai is not very literate, she only knows that her young lady read the poem well at first, but after a while she started to worry about it, so that she didn't write the poem to silently say it now.
Gu Huai has a good memory, and he can almost remember most of it with a glance.
But this poem depends on spirituality, and more importantly, ability. Her spirituality does not quite match the poet.
Now Gu Huaishu has already scolded Yinzhen in secret.
I thought this master was letting her live, but I didn't expect that he was trying to drive ducks to the shelves and completely embarrass himself.
The few poems in my hand can really suffocate a person to death!
Of course, it's not easy to say this to Li Zhen'er, so Gu Huaishu only found a polite excuse.
However, Li Zhen'er had heard that Miss Gu San didn't even know a single word.
Rumors, rumors, and rumors change.
What the truth is, wait until Gu Huaishu writes a poem to understand.
She didn't say much, and with a gentle smile, she left and went to greet the next delicate guest.
As soon as she left, when Gu Huaishu saw the flowers in the corridor in front of him, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and knew how to mend it.
This poem is good everywhere, only one word needs to be changed!
She got up, walked to the desk, and asked Qing Dai to spread the paper and grind it.
Qing Dai was shocked, she thought that the young lady was going to take out the poem and spread it, but she didn't expect to ask her to spread the paper.
"Miss……"
Gu Huaishu looked at the Hu pen, and stretched out his left hand, as if he wanted to touch the pen.
no...
Gu Huaixiu rolled his eyes, isn't he just writing poetry?I read poetry...
How many of them won the championship with calligraphy like the champion of this subject?
She is an ignorant Gu Huaixiu, she has changed too much, and some problems will inevitably arise.
She held the paperweight with her outstretched hand, pulled it to the left, and at the same time started to write with her right hand, grabbed the pen, and transcribed the poems she had just pondered over.
It can be seen that these poems are very good, and they must have been written by talented scholars, but they seem to be unfinished poems, probably found in a hurry, so they are not very rigorous.
When it came time to hand in the poems, the gongs were knocked from the front yard to the back yard, and everyone handed in the poems together.
I heard that Master Li Guangdi personally commented on the poem this time, Gu Huaishu sighed after sitting down.
"I heard that there are quite a few young masters writing poems in the front yard. I don't know who will win the prize in the end..."
Qing Dai hangs down Gu Huaisu's shoulders, she has never been to such a scene before, she just finds it interesting.
But after all, Gu Huaixiu just came back from Jiangnan, his father was not an official, and he had never participated in these entertainments before, so he couldn't find a few people to talk to.
She doesn't care, it's just the beginning.
If you don't want to be misunderstood by others, just stand up and let people see you in a dignified manner.
She was never afraid of being watched.
Gu Huaixiu lowered his head, lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and gently brushed off the tea foam, his movements were careful and light.
The backyard is bustling with activity, but the front yard is full of distinguished guests.
Li Guangdi was sitting in the flower hall. Few people here had seen Kangxi, not to mention that after changing his clothes, the emperor looked like the uncle next door. No one doubted that he was Li Guangdi's aide, they only said that he was a learned gentleman.
There were three judges in total, Li Guangdi himself, Huang Sanye, and a No.1 No. [-] in this year's Xinweike Palace Examination, named Dai Youqi, which was put forward by the men in the front yard.
This Dai Youqi had met the emperor, only the fourth elder brother, so he already knew who the important person was.
It is also strange to say that the Imperial Palace Examination is a strange thing. The scholar Dai Youqi, whose ancestral home is Jinshanwei in the south of the Yangtze River, is a reference in the north; the scholar Wu Bing is from Quanjiao County, Anhui.Both of these two are people with strategy in mind, and they became Jinshi together, and then passed the imperial examination.
Originally, Wu Bing was No.1 in the Imperial Examination, but Kangxi saw Dai Youqi's outstanding calligraphy and thought that there had been no champion in the north for a long time, so he promoted Dai Youqi to No.1 and changed Wu Bing to No. [-]. He was only the second place in the list.
In addition to these two, Haining Yang Zhongna was the third, and because of the same reason of "there is no northern scholar for a long time", he was deposed by Kangxi, and Huang Shulin from Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture was selected as Tanhua.
Dai Youqi, the No. [-] scholar, said that his name was unfair, but it was hand-picked by Kangxi, so how dare others make irresponsible remarks?No matter how much dissatisfaction you have, you can only swallow it in your stomach.
People at the time jokingly said: It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do stereotyped writing. The most important thing is to be able to write a good hand, and maybe you can turn around at a critical moment.
At this moment, Dai Youqi looked at the emperor, only to feel that the chair under his buttocks was full of nails.
The poem manuscripts were divided into several stacks, and presented, there were young princes inside and out, waiting for the prize to come down.
The three brothers on Zhang Tingzan's side stood relatively close to the emperor, but they had already been alerted by Zhang Ying and were not allowed to show off.
Right now, the three brothers don't say a word, just watching the fire from the other side.
Kangxi took the manuscripts of poems and read them one by one. When he came across a good work, he commented on it.
Finally, Kangxi clicked a poem and came out. When he asked who wrote it, it turned out to be Li Guangdi's eldest son Li Zhonglun, and he immediately praised it.
Li Guangdi was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to get up to thank him. He sat there suffocating, trying to say it was bad, but the number one scholar Dai Youqi immediately posted it and said that the poem was well written.
If the emperor hadn't been present, Li Guangdi would have slapped Dai Youqi long ago.
Zhang Ying knew that he was clumsy. Although Li Guangdi didn't need to hide his son, he still had to be modest. What kind of thing was it that he gave his son a lottery for no reason?
But now that the two judges have come up with their results, Li Guangdi could only hold his breath and forcefully said, "The writing is a bit weak, and the allusions are too blunt, which is not satisfactory..."
Kangxi knew what kind of virtue Li Guangdi was, so he didn't bother to talk to him.
Here the lottery came down quickly, and Li Zhonglun laughed several times because of his joy.
Yinzhen stood silently behind Kangxi, Xiao Shengzi stood behind Yinzhen, and behind them were the three sons of the Zhang family.
The excitement is over here, and the poems collected in the backyard are also coming up.
The poems of the daughter's family are a little more graceful than those of the men, and the handwriting is much more delicate, revealing a delicate boudoir atmosphere, which also has a special taste.
Kangxi turned the pages slowly, and Dai Youqi over there couldn't look down on these petty things, so he just finished reading them perfunctorily. Li Guangdi didn't think there was anything good, so he reluctantly circled a few songs.
But Kangxi was different here, he frowned after he let out a "huh".
Yinzhen felt strange, looked down, and almost choked to death!
Which girl handed in this ghostly talisman-like thing?
Originally Yinzhen was still thinking about it, but when he looked at the word, he suddenly thought of something, and when he looked at the poem again, he suddenly understood.
Gu San...
Miss Gu San, after all, she still created opportunities for the mud that can't support the wall. She doesn't cherish it herself, so she can't blame others.
Yinzhen only thought that Gu San was his own fault, but he didn't expect that the poem manuscript that Bai Qiaoniang stuffed into Gu San was not her own handwriting, and sooner or later the truth would be revealed, so Gu San handed in the poems he had recorded, which was really the safest way ...
"Huang, Mr. Huang... What masterpieces have you seen here?" Li Guangdi asked tremblingly.
Kangxi was also surprised, and said: "I have seen a few surprising songs, but this is really... hard to say, come and have a look."
Li Guangdi and Li Guangdi leaned forward, looked at it, and frowned: "This word is too clumsy... Poetry is good poetry."
"The song "Wing Chun Tune"."
"The road is separated by the spring breeze, and it is green and red. No one eats the beauty, and it reflects the sky every year."
Meal beauty?
Standing behind Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
Although this poem has been slightly changed, isn't it the same as Zhang Tingyu's?
Zhang Tingyu looked at Kangxi's hand in front of him, the word was really familiar!
Thinking about the incident before and after, his face suddenly turned a little bit bad.
When Yinzhen saw him, he glanced at Zhang Tingzan in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Tingzan's heart trembled, he held Zhang Tingyu back, and signaled him to stay calm.
They all recognize this word, Miss Gu San's, although it looks much better than when she was in Tongcheng a few days ago, it is still too clumsy to bear to look at.
Isn't it strange that the words are so ugly, but the poems are not bad?
Zhang Tingyu thought about the word "meal", but he knew that Gu San was a person who could hide.
His original poem used "no one pities the beautiful beauty", but Gu Huaishu changed the word "meal" into the word "meal", even if he took the allusion of "beautiful beauty can be eaten" and incorporated it into the poem, once it is reversed, it is also considered beautiful.
Uneducated?
Is this the legendary ignorance?
Zhang Tingyu suddenly felt that the rumors were indeed terrifying.
But what's more terrifying, shouldn't it be the matter of catching a knife...
Originally, Zhang Tingyu came here because he wanted to know who got the knife for, but unexpectedly, today he found out that it was for Gu Huaixiu.
What kind of tricks are hidden in it?
His eyes darkened a bit, but he smiled again, becoming more and more interesting.
There are two more songs in the back. The first sentence of the first song "who planted ten acres of red clouds" was changed to "ten acres of red clouds will meet the sky, and who planted the blue lotus thousands of miles away", and the third sentence of the first song "begonia spring letter tide first fell" was changed Became "Begonia Chunxin Fragrance has been broken"...
Zhang Tingyu thought about it, and only felt that the reform was not bad, and that it was more suitable for his daughter's family to write it close to this time and place.
But the last one is a bit surprising.
This is a song "A Tune of Cherishing Spring".
"Last night, the peach blossoms on carved windows were thin, and now the stone stream flows with the water. This spring will go with the wind. Where is the sound of cicadas in Westland?"
Kangxi looked at the last two sentences, but smiled: "I don't know which boudoir girl wrote this song...it has the quality of Gao Jie Zhilan."
Dai Youqi felt a headache when he saw this word. He became the number one scholar by virtue of calligraphy, so naturally he couldn't see the poor handwriting. Even though the poem is quite strong, it may not suit his appetite.
Dai Youqi only said nonchalantly: "Poetry is forced, but words... really can't catch the eye."
Kangxi glanced at him with a smile, but didn't speak.
Li Guangdi also read this poem, but said: "Falling flowers and flowing water, spring is gone, heaven and earth, this is Li Yu's words. But the only bright spot in the whole poem is the last sentence, which is the code of Luo Binwang's "Ode to Cicadas in Prison"."
In the past, King Luo Bin suffered from the empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty and was sent down, so he wrote this poem to express his ambition, and compared himself with cicadas.
Xi Lu Chan sang, Nan Guan thought deeply.
Unbearable Xuan Temple Shadow, came to Bai Tou Yin.
Lu Zhongfei is difficult to get in, and the wind is loud and easy to sink.
No one believes in Gao Jie, who will show their hearts.
Most people like to use the allusion of "Nanguan", but this lady with poor handwriting uses the allusion of "Sound of Cicadas in Xilu" ingeniously.
This spring is about to pass, summer is coming, and the sound of cicadas is everywhere, so it is also clever to ask "where is the old sound of cicadas".
"It's a pity... for this topic, the word "pity" is used in the poem. Although this poem is wonderful, it can't win the prize."
Li Guangdi couldn't help sighing, as if he was quite sorry.
Kangxi was very open-minded, "The person who wrote this poem doesn't necessarily care about your success. What is there to regret? Just make another circle."
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.
Zhang Tingzan couldn't help but look at Zhang Tingyu. Except for the first two sentences of this song, which were written by Zhang Tingyu, the rest of the song was written by Gu San.
But Zhang Tingyu ignored him, and stood with his eyes on his nose and his heart, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Tinglu on the side was interested, and said, "I don't know which girl has such talent and aspirations." Here, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan heard this, and they also fell silent.
Li Guangdi and the three of them circled another rather good poem, which is considered to be the first prize.
But today Kangxi was in high spirits, looked at the perch on the table, and suddenly said: "Zhen... just looking at this perch, I suddenly came up with a couplet, why don't I post a couplet, and find someone to deal with it later Last pair?"
As he said that, he asked someone to set up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and without showing it to others, he wrote a few words with a pen and passed it on.
None of the people on Yinzhen's side saw it. When he remembered that there was a troublesome aunt in the backyard, he put his hands behind his back and gently swipe his fingers. When Xiao Shengzi understood, he turned sideways and gave Zhang Tingzan a wink.
Xiao Shengzi backed away slowly, and Zhang Tingzan stood behind him for a while, then also left.
As soon as Zhang Tingyu turned around, he didn't see Zhang Tingzan, and saw that there was a person missing behind the fourth elder brother, so he simply walked away.
Only Zhang Tinglu got along well with the eldest son of Li Guangdi's family, Li Zhonglun, and knew nothing about it.
When Zhang Tingyu came out, Zhang Tingzan disappeared. When he asked the maid, he found out that he had gone to Baosha, which was the closest place to the back garden.
There are two screens in the corridor, just as Zhang Tingzan disappeared here, Zhang Tingyu came, and there was a spare table beside it that no one had used.
Xiao Shengzi quietly copied the first couplet, and without even looking at it, he stuffed it there: "My lord, you are quick in writing, this time I can rely on you..."
Zhang Tingyu thought that Xiao Shengzi was unreliable in his work, but Zhang Tingzan was not there, so he directly reached out to accept the note, but it was Shanglian.
"A perch with one tail and four gills comes out of Songjiang alone."
This couplet is quite clever, there are numbers on the top and bottom, what's wrong?
Zhang Tingyu pinched his fingers slightly, only picked up the small brush on the back of the screen, thought for a while, and wrote down the pen.
After writing, he blew lightly, wrapped the paper and handed it back, and Xiao Shengzi took it and went to work.
After a while, Zhang Tingzan came back and was shocked to see Zhang Tingyu here.
"you you……"
Zhang Tingyu wrote lightly: "I'll help you make up, big brother don't leak anything when you go out."
Zhang Tingzan: "..."
What a shame to have such a second brother!
But Xiao Shengzi walked quietly along the corridor, when a maid came over, the two of them passed by and changed the note in their hands, and after a while, the note was in Gu Huaishu's hands.
Gu Huaixiu unfolded it for a look, but was startled.
"Crabs have two claws and eight legs, and they run wild in Kyushu."
This boldness!
When Gu Huaishu saw it, he froze for a moment, one was because of the momentum of the second couplet, and the other was because of Si elder brother who spared no effort to cheat her!
With a "snap", Gu Huaishu pressed the table and almost flipped it up angrily.
Qingdai broke into a cold sweat: "Girl, everyone is looking at you..."
Gu Huaishu only felt a headache, so he rolled up the note and put it in his sleeve, picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper, "Three shocks with a hammer can undo the chain of nine beads".
Regardless of whether he is neat or not, he would definitely not dare to confront the "crab with two claws and eight legs, running across the world and nine states". If his daughter's family has such courage, Gu Huaishu can cut off his head.
Even if others believed it, once Gu Huaishu went out, he would only be revealing his secrets.
Where did you get the knife to catch your own people!
Gu Huaishu gritted his teeth with hatred, and handed in the second couplet with a gloomy face.
In the front hall, it was lively again.
Zhang Tingyu was also very happy. It could be seen that Kangxi hadn't paid much attention to the front, and had been flipping through the particularly poor handwriting. This time when he saw the second couplet, he laughed loudly: "Which lady is it? Zhi Lanxin is a little clever, it's quite pitiful..."
It's nothing if there is no artistic conception, neatness can only be regarded as a reluctance, but the meaning of this couplet is to use a hammer to unravel the Nine Links. It is simple and rude, but it has found another way.
Li Guangdi sent someone down there to ask, and after a while he reported, "It's the third girl from the Gu family, from Gu Zhenguan's family."
Gu Zhenguan?
Kangxi remembered this name.
Whenever I think of Gu Zhenguan, I must think of another old friend named Nalan Rongruo.
Kangxi sighed: "Poetry can show ambition, and writing can show heart. Gu Zhenguan is a noble person, and his daughter has the style of his father, Linglong Zhilan."
The interest suddenly disappeared, Kangxi got up, waved his hand, but led the people away.
Zhang Tingyu frowned when he saw the second couplet placed on the table by Kangxi.
This thing is already weird, Xiao Shengzi was stunned, Zhang Tingzan was also stunned, even Yinzhen didn't think the last couplet was written by a knife catcher.If Zhang Tingzan wrote such a couplet, would he still be on duty in the Imperial Academy?
On Zhang Tingzan's side, he knew that the second brother was right in the second line, but...how did it come out like this?
Something is clearly wrong!
But it wasn't easy to ask too many questions, so they dispersed before going out.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Zhang Tingzan grabbed Zhang Tingyu and asked, "What are you right about?"
"Gu San is useless." Zhang Tingyu wanted to trick her, but it seemed that Gu San was really Linglong's darling, and he didn't fall for it.
Looking at the coldness in the corners of his second brother's eyes and brows, Zhang Tingzan pondered for a while, and finally understood a bit...
He suddenly laughed out loud: "Second brother, she is your future daughter-in-law, you are not being kind."
But Zhang Tingyu's expression was serious, and he asked him: "She wants to grab the knife, how can she have anything to do with the fourth elder brother?"
Hey, it’s time to protect the food before entering the door!
Seeing that Zhang Tinglu was still outside, Zhang Tingzan lowered the curtain and thought for a while.He is a rare sensible person. He has been with Zhang Ying for so many years, and his mind is extremely clear. He is the first-class smart person in the Zhang family's generation.
"Don't be suspicious of dark ghosts in your heart, come here with your ears."
As soon as Zhang Tingzan finished speaking, Zhang Tingyu let go of his doubts, and finally said: "She is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Zhang Tingzan leaned back lazily, "It's tiring to marry a smart man as a wife, just like my father, it's good to marry a stupid one—"
Suddenly stopped, Zhang Tingzan coughed several times, pretending that he had never said this before, and quickly changed the subject: "Ah, the third brother is here..."
Zhang Tingyu didn't expose him, and fell silent when seeing Zhang Tinglu come in.
The cars left Li's mansion one after another, Yinzhen did not follow Kangxi, and now the emperor was probably going to see Nalan Rongruo again.
He walked out with his hands behind his back, but said: "This time, she should be satisfied."
After today is over, who would dare not praise her Gu San's "commandous orchid heart", "exquisite heart" and "zhilanyushu"?
These are all the emperor's golden words, even though they were said by the Lord Long Live subduedly, sooner or later they will leak out.
In the Qing Dynasty, everything the emperor said was the golden rule.
The entrance of Li Guangdi's mansion was covered with the afterglow of the setting sun.
Spring is coming to an end, people have gone, and the banquet is over.
In a spring, the water falls and the flowers go away.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen walked gracefully, and Xiao Shengzi hurriedly followed.
Just as they left on the front foot, Gu Huaixiu's car also drove over on the back foot, heading back to the mansion.
In the car, Gu Huaishu pulled out the note in his sleeve, staring at the sentence "crabs with two claws and eight legs, roaming across all nine states in the world", lost in thought.
Rampant across Kyushu...
I really dare to say it.
If there is a chance, he should ask fourth master why he deceived himself.
However, who was the one who caught the knife for her?
(End of this chapter)
In the south study room today, Kangxi kept looking at Li Guangdi, and Li Guangdi kept looking at the western clock in the corner.
"Li Guangdi..."
"The old minister is here."
Just as Li Guangdi looked away from the clock in the corner, he heard Kangxi shout.
He was startled, trembled, and hurriedly responded.
Kangxi held a pair of literati painting fans in his hand, clasping the bones one by one, a little leisurely.
The imperial case is full of memorials, all of which have been corrected today.
Kangxi dragged his voice, and said unhurriedly: "You work faster than others today. Zhang Ying, do you think so?"
Zhang Ying stroked his beard and nodded, "Long Live Lord's eyes are like a torch. Today, Mr. Li is very fast whether he is writing or reading memorials."
Li Guangdi's heart skipped a beat, mother, what mistake did he make?
"Long live Lord..." Li Guangdi was about to say something while muttering, but Li Guangdi always felt uneasy in his heart.
Mingzhu and Suo'etu had just left, and the older brothers had left too. At this time, there were not many internal ministers left in the South Study.
Kangxi interrupted him: "To be honest, you stared at the Western clock more than ten times this morning, and I asked San Dezi to count it. San Dezi, let me tell you how many times Mr. Li watched it this morning. Clock back?"
San Dezi let out a "squeak", came up quickly, and cleared his throat: "When I came in this morning, Mr. Li had already looked at the clock in the corner eighteen times, and six times he was stopped by the Long Live Lord halfway, and he failed to see it as a clock." .”
Zhang Ying stood aside and smiled unkindly.
Hearing this, Li Guangdi was so anxious that his head was sweating, he immediately knelt down: "The old minister is guilty..."
"Master Li, what is the crime?"
Kangxi is in a good mood today, and the previous Erhe case didn't affect his mood, at least it's settled and let the capable minister Jin Fu?Taking Wang Xinming's previous position, he became the governor of the river, and rushed to take office. I think the matter of the spring flood in the south of the Yangtze River will be dealt with in a short time.
As soon as he thought of this, his tone became more relaxed.
This question left Li Guangdi speechless again.
Oh, hey, he really wants to slap himself a few times, isn't this shooting himself in the foot?
Long live Lord asked him what he was guilty of. Can he say that he has been staring at the Western clock?There is no such thing in the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty!
"This this……"
"Come on, hurry up and tell the truth, what are you thinking about in your head this morning?"
Kangxi was simply curious. He had never seen Li Guangdi before so distracted.I don't know what happened to me today, it's like I can't sit still for a moment.
Zhang Ying knew what was going on, but he chose to sit on the sidelines and was too lazy to talk to Li Guangdi.
Li Guangdi's forehead was full of sweat: "Long live, a couple of sons and daughters in the minister's family are going to hold a Spring Festival banquet today, and they are asking the minister to be the judge. They can't judge by themselves, and they will divide the lottery according to the judgment result of the minister. It's all Junior, the minister has said all this, and I agree..."
"Oh, so it's about time."
Lord Kangxi spread his fan like this, and shook it with San Dezi next to him, and San Dezi hurriedly said "Ouch": "Dare to love our Long Live Lord, in your Master Li's mind, it is not as good as a poetry meeting..."
Zhang Ying, an old fox, stood with his hands down and watched Li Guang anxiously.
Li Guangdi didn't know what to say, "I don't dare to die, I don't dare to die..."
"Okay, I didn't say I want your head, why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, the memorial was finished so early today, and it all depends on your ability, Mr. Li, to be able to talk quickly in the morning, and reading a memorial is like chanting a scripture. "
Kangxi was very angry when he heard the memorial this morning, but fortunately he is still a wise king, if he were to change to someone else, he might have scolded Li Guangdi early.
"Zuo Zuo has nothing to do today, and I'm going to pay a private visit, so I'll go to your house to watch the poetry meeting, San Dezi, get ready."
Li Guang's eyes widened, as if he had never expected such a development.
Seeing Kangxi happily changing into casual clothes, Li Guangdi was dumbfounded for a long time, then turned to see Zhang Ying: "Master Zhang, this..."
Zhang Ying went up and patted Li Guangdi on the shoulder: "I'll go back and tell my three sons, you can ask for blessings."
Zhang Ying has always been a quiet person, and because he is a Han minister, he is not as trustworthy as the ministers of the Manchu and Mongolian courts.To be able to get to this point, it can be said that they all stepped on the ice step by step cautiously.The more it is like this, the more low-key it is.
He went to mention his sons, not to tell them to take advantage of the emperor's going to show off, but to remind them not to show off.
Li Guangdi frowned, just to see Zhang Ying holding him?Dai Hualing went out.
He stumbled and sighed, alas, he has been sailing carefully for thousands of years, but today he fell down because of frequently looking at the Western clock, what an old horse stumbled!
When Kangxi came out, he was almost like Yuanwailang. He asked Li Guangdi to walk in front, and said he would act as Li Guangdi's aide.
Li Guang's heart trembled, he didn't dare to refute, and several people went out like this.
At the door, I met Yinzhen who was coming back from school, and Lord Kangxi was in a good mood, so he called him directly: "I can't see the clothes on the fourth son today, let's go together."
Don't say whether Yinzhen knows or not, anyway, five people came out like this.
Both Li Guangdi and Yinzhen called Kangxi "Mr. Huang", San Dezi called "Huang Sanye", "Huang Sanye" called himself "I", and Xiao Shengzi called Yinzhen "Four Young Masters", that's all.
They went all the way to Li Guangdi's mansion, and the guests in the front and back yards had already arrived and started to move around.
When the Xichun Banquet was in full swing, all the flowers and stamens could be seen, but because of the atmosphere of the end of spring, everyone was still very happy.
Li Zhen'er, the jewel in Li Guangdi's palm, is a beauty. She greeted her all the way in the backyard, and finally saw Gu Huaishu sitting in the farthest corner.
Gu Huaixiu is not dressed up very gorgeously today, but she is really delicate and delicate like a hibiscus flower, not to mention standing in front of everyone, even sitting in this corner, it is as if she can dazzle people's eyes.
In the past, this third young lady of the Gu family never went out. There were rumors in the past that she was hooking up with foreign men, but now she just sits here casually when she sees her.
Li Zhen'er couldn't help being a little curious in her heart, and taking the opportunity of walking over, she chatted with Gu Huaishu.
"Miss Gu San, this Wing Chun poem is about to be handed in, why are you still sitting here?"
Hearing the words, Gu Huaixiu retracted his eyes and looked at Li Zhen'er. She was indeed a delicate beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was more like a master. His father Li Guangdi was both civil and military. He was also a handsome man with extraordinary martial arts in his early years. It is natural for a child to be gorgeous and overwhelm the crowd.
Seeing this, all the ladies around her felt their teeth itch with hatred.
This Li Zhen'er and Gu Huaixiu are both the type of people who are gorgeous and can dazzle people without makeup.When they get together now, it's an eyesore and an eyesore, it's an eyesore!
Gu Huaixiu got up and saluted: "It's just that I feel a little sad seeing the scene of the end of spring."
lie.
It must be a lie.
Qing Dai didn't need to look at her own lady's expression to know.
Gu Huaishu is not hurting the spring and autumn, she is thinking about poetry.
Qing Dai is not very literate, she only knows that her young lady read the poem well at first, but after a while she started to worry about it, so that she didn't write the poem to silently say it now.
Gu Huai has a good memory, and he can almost remember most of it with a glance.
But this poem depends on spirituality, and more importantly, ability. Her spirituality does not quite match the poet.
Now Gu Huaishu has already scolded Yinzhen in secret.
I thought this master was letting her live, but I didn't expect that he was trying to drive ducks to the shelves and completely embarrass himself.
The few poems in my hand can really suffocate a person to death!
Of course, it's not easy to say this to Li Zhen'er, so Gu Huaishu only found a polite excuse.
However, Li Zhen'er had heard that Miss Gu San didn't even know a single word.
Rumors, rumors, and rumors change.
What the truth is, wait until Gu Huaishu writes a poem to understand.
She didn't say much, and with a gentle smile, she left and went to greet the next delicate guest.
As soon as she left, when Gu Huaishu saw the flowers in the corridor in front of him, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and knew how to mend it.
This poem is good everywhere, only one word needs to be changed!
She got up, walked to the desk, and asked Qing Dai to spread the paper and grind it.
Qing Dai was shocked, she thought that the young lady was going to take out the poem and spread it, but she didn't expect to ask her to spread the paper.
"Miss……"
Gu Huaishu looked at the Hu pen, and stretched out his left hand, as if he wanted to touch the pen.
no...
Gu Huaixiu rolled his eyes, isn't he just writing poetry?I read poetry...
How many of them won the championship with calligraphy like the champion of this subject?
She is an ignorant Gu Huaixiu, she has changed too much, and some problems will inevitably arise.
She held the paperweight with her outstretched hand, pulled it to the left, and at the same time started to write with her right hand, grabbed the pen, and transcribed the poems she had just pondered over.
It can be seen that these poems are very good, and they must have been written by talented scholars, but they seem to be unfinished poems, probably found in a hurry, so they are not very rigorous.
When it came time to hand in the poems, the gongs were knocked from the front yard to the back yard, and everyone handed in the poems together.
I heard that Master Li Guangdi personally commented on the poem this time, Gu Huaishu sighed after sitting down.
"I heard that there are quite a few young masters writing poems in the front yard. I don't know who will win the prize in the end..."
Qing Dai hangs down Gu Huaisu's shoulders, she has never been to such a scene before, she just finds it interesting.
But after all, Gu Huaixiu just came back from Jiangnan, his father was not an official, and he had never participated in these entertainments before, so he couldn't find a few people to talk to.
She doesn't care, it's just the beginning.
If you don't want to be misunderstood by others, just stand up and let people see you in a dignified manner.
She was never afraid of being watched.
Gu Huaixiu lowered his head, lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and gently brushed off the tea foam, his movements were careful and light.
The backyard is bustling with activity, but the front yard is full of distinguished guests.
Li Guangdi was sitting in the flower hall. Few people here had seen Kangxi, not to mention that after changing his clothes, the emperor looked like the uncle next door. No one doubted that he was Li Guangdi's aide, they only said that he was a learned gentleman.
There were three judges in total, Li Guangdi himself, Huang Sanye, and a No.1 No. [-] in this year's Xinweike Palace Examination, named Dai Youqi, which was put forward by the men in the front yard.
This Dai Youqi had met the emperor, only the fourth elder brother, so he already knew who the important person was.
It is also strange to say that the Imperial Palace Examination is a strange thing. The scholar Dai Youqi, whose ancestral home is Jinshanwei in the south of the Yangtze River, is a reference in the north; the scholar Wu Bing is from Quanjiao County, Anhui.Both of these two are people with strategy in mind, and they became Jinshi together, and then passed the imperial examination.
Originally, Wu Bing was No.1 in the Imperial Examination, but Kangxi saw Dai Youqi's outstanding calligraphy and thought that there had been no champion in the north for a long time, so he promoted Dai Youqi to No.1 and changed Wu Bing to No. [-]. He was only the second place in the list.
In addition to these two, Haining Yang Zhongna was the third, and because of the same reason of "there is no northern scholar for a long time", he was deposed by Kangxi, and Huang Shulin from Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture was selected as Tanhua.
Dai Youqi, the No. [-] scholar, said that his name was unfair, but it was hand-picked by Kangxi, so how dare others make irresponsible remarks?No matter how much dissatisfaction you have, you can only swallow it in your stomach.
People at the time jokingly said: It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do stereotyped writing. The most important thing is to be able to write a good hand, and maybe you can turn around at a critical moment.
At this moment, Dai Youqi looked at the emperor, only to feel that the chair under his buttocks was full of nails.
The poem manuscripts were divided into several stacks, and presented, there were young princes inside and out, waiting for the prize to come down.
The three brothers on Zhang Tingzan's side stood relatively close to the emperor, but they had already been alerted by Zhang Ying and were not allowed to show off.
Right now, the three brothers don't say a word, just watching the fire from the other side.
Kangxi took the manuscripts of poems and read them one by one. When he came across a good work, he commented on it.
Finally, Kangxi clicked a poem and came out. When he asked who wrote it, it turned out to be Li Guangdi's eldest son Li Zhonglun, and he immediately praised it.
Li Guangdi was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to get up to thank him. He sat there suffocating, trying to say it was bad, but the number one scholar Dai Youqi immediately posted it and said that the poem was well written.
If the emperor hadn't been present, Li Guangdi would have slapped Dai Youqi long ago.
Zhang Ying knew that he was clumsy. Although Li Guangdi didn't need to hide his son, he still had to be modest. What kind of thing was it that he gave his son a lottery for no reason?
But now that the two judges have come up with their results, Li Guangdi could only hold his breath and forcefully said, "The writing is a bit weak, and the allusions are too blunt, which is not satisfactory..."
Kangxi knew what kind of virtue Li Guangdi was, so he didn't bother to talk to him.
Here the lottery came down quickly, and Li Zhonglun laughed several times because of his joy.
Yinzhen stood silently behind Kangxi, Xiao Shengzi stood behind Yinzhen, and behind them were the three sons of the Zhang family.
The excitement is over here, and the poems collected in the backyard are also coming up.
The poems of the daughter's family are a little more graceful than those of the men, and the handwriting is much more delicate, revealing a delicate boudoir atmosphere, which also has a special taste.
Kangxi turned the pages slowly, and Dai Youqi over there couldn't look down on these petty things, so he just finished reading them perfunctorily. Li Guangdi didn't think there was anything good, so he reluctantly circled a few songs.
But Kangxi was different here, he frowned after he let out a "huh".
Yinzhen felt strange, looked down, and almost choked to death!
Which girl handed in this ghostly talisman-like thing?
Originally Yinzhen was still thinking about it, but when he looked at the word, he suddenly thought of something, and when he looked at the poem again, he suddenly understood.
Gu San...
Miss Gu San, after all, she still created opportunities for the mud that can't support the wall. She doesn't cherish it herself, so she can't blame others.
Yinzhen only thought that Gu San was his own fault, but he didn't expect that the poem manuscript that Bai Qiaoniang stuffed into Gu San was not her own handwriting, and sooner or later the truth would be revealed, so Gu San handed in the poems he had recorded, which was really the safest way ...
"Huang, Mr. Huang... What masterpieces have you seen here?" Li Guangdi asked tremblingly.
Kangxi was also surprised, and said: "I have seen a few surprising songs, but this is really... hard to say, come and have a look."
Li Guangdi and Li Guangdi leaned forward, looked at it, and frowned: "This word is too clumsy... Poetry is good poetry."
"The song "Wing Chun Tune"."
"The road is separated by the spring breeze, and it is green and red. No one eats the beauty, and it reflects the sky every year."
Meal beauty?
Standing behind Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
Although this poem has been slightly changed, isn't it the same as Zhang Tingyu's?
Zhang Tingyu looked at Kangxi's hand in front of him, the word was really familiar!
Thinking about the incident before and after, his face suddenly turned a little bit bad.
When Yinzhen saw him, he glanced at Zhang Tingzan in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Tingzan's heart trembled, he held Zhang Tingyu back, and signaled him to stay calm.
They all recognize this word, Miss Gu San's, although it looks much better than when she was in Tongcheng a few days ago, it is still too clumsy to bear to look at.
Isn't it strange that the words are so ugly, but the poems are not bad?
Zhang Tingyu thought about the word "meal", but he knew that Gu San was a person who could hide.
His original poem used "no one pities the beautiful beauty", but Gu Huaishu changed the word "meal" into the word "meal", even if he took the allusion of "beautiful beauty can be eaten" and incorporated it into the poem, once it is reversed, it is also considered beautiful.
Uneducated?
Is this the legendary ignorance?
Zhang Tingyu suddenly felt that the rumors were indeed terrifying.
But what's more terrifying, shouldn't it be the matter of catching a knife...
Originally, Zhang Tingyu came here because he wanted to know who got the knife for, but unexpectedly, today he found out that it was for Gu Huaixiu.
What kind of tricks are hidden in it?
His eyes darkened a bit, but he smiled again, becoming more and more interesting.
There are two more songs in the back. The first sentence of the first song "who planted ten acres of red clouds" was changed to "ten acres of red clouds will meet the sky, and who planted the blue lotus thousands of miles away", and the third sentence of the first song "begonia spring letter tide first fell" was changed Became "Begonia Chunxin Fragrance has been broken"...
Zhang Tingyu thought about it, and only felt that the reform was not bad, and that it was more suitable for his daughter's family to write it close to this time and place.
But the last one is a bit surprising.
This is a song "A Tune of Cherishing Spring".
"Last night, the peach blossoms on carved windows were thin, and now the stone stream flows with the water. This spring will go with the wind. Where is the sound of cicadas in Westland?"
Kangxi looked at the last two sentences, but smiled: "I don't know which boudoir girl wrote this song...it has the quality of Gao Jie Zhilan."
Dai Youqi felt a headache when he saw this word. He became the number one scholar by virtue of calligraphy, so naturally he couldn't see the poor handwriting. Even though the poem is quite strong, it may not suit his appetite.
Dai Youqi only said nonchalantly: "Poetry is forced, but words... really can't catch the eye."
Kangxi glanced at him with a smile, but didn't speak.
Li Guangdi also read this poem, but said: "Falling flowers and flowing water, spring is gone, heaven and earth, this is Li Yu's words. But the only bright spot in the whole poem is the last sentence, which is the code of Luo Binwang's "Ode to Cicadas in Prison"."
In the past, King Luo Bin suffered from the empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty and was sent down, so he wrote this poem to express his ambition, and compared himself with cicadas.
Xi Lu Chan sang, Nan Guan thought deeply.
Unbearable Xuan Temple Shadow, came to Bai Tou Yin.
Lu Zhongfei is difficult to get in, and the wind is loud and easy to sink.
No one believes in Gao Jie, who will show their hearts.
Most people like to use the allusion of "Nanguan", but this lady with poor handwriting uses the allusion of "Sound of Cicadas in Xilu" ingeniously.
This spring is about to pass, summer is coming, and the sound of cicadas is everywhere, so it is also clever to ask "where is the old sound of cicadas".
"It's a pity... for this topic, the word "pity" is used in the poem. Although this poem is wonderful, it can't win the prize."
Li Guangdi couldn't help sighing, as if he was quite sorry.
Kangxi was very open-minded, "The person who wrote this poem doesn't necessarily care about your success. What is there to regret? Just make another circle."
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.
Zhang Tingzan couldn't help but look at Zhang Tingyu. Except for the first two sentences of this song, which were written by Zhang Tingyu, the rest of the song was written by Gu San.
But Zhang Tingyu ignored him, and stood with his eyes on his nose and his heart, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Tinglu on the side was interested, and said, "I don't know which girl has such talent and aspirations." Here, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingzan heard this, and they also fell silent.
Li Guangdi and the three of them circled another rather good poem, which is considered to be the first prize.
But today Kangxi was in high spirits, looked at the perch on the table, and suddenly said: "Zhen... just looking at this perch, I suddenly came up with a couplet, why don't I post a couplet, and find someone to deal with it later Last pair?"
As he said that, he asked someone to set up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and without showing it to others, he wrote a few words with a pen and passed it on.
None of the people on Yinzhen's side saw it. When he remembered that there was a troublesome aunt in the backyard, he put his hands behind his back and gently swipe his fingers. When Xiao Shengzi understood, he turned sideways and gave Zhang Tingzan a wink.
Xiao Shengzi backed away slowly, and Zhang Tingzan stood behind him for a while, then also left.
As soon as Zhang Tingyu turned around, he didn't see Zhang Tingzan, and saw that there was a person missing behind the fourth elder brother, so he simply walked away.
Only Zhang Tinglu got along well with the eldest son of Li Guangdi's family, Li Zhonglun, and knew nothing about it.
When Zhang Tingyu came out, Zhang Tingzan disappeared. When he asked the maid, he found out that he had gone to Baosha, which was the closest place to the back garden.
There are two screens in the corridor, just as Zhang Tingzan disappeared here, Zhang Tingyu came, and there was a spare table beside it that no one had used.
Xiao Shengzi quietly copied the first couplet, and without even looking at it, he stuffed it there: "My lord, you are quick in writing, this time I can rely on you..."
Zhang Tingyu thought that Xiao Shengzi was unreliable in his work, but Zhang Tingzan was not there, so he directly reached out to accept the note, but it was Shanglian.
"A perch with one tail and four gills comes out of Songjiang alone."
This couplet is quite clever, there are numbers on the top and bottom, what's wrong?
Zhang Tingyu pinched his fingers slightly, only picked up the small brush on the back of the screen, thought for a while, and wrote down the pen.
After writing, he blew lightly, wrapped the paper and handed it back, and Xiao Shengzi took it and went to work.
After a while, Zhang Tingzan came back and was shocked to see Zhang Tingyu here.
"you you……"
Zhang Tingyu wrote lightly: "I'll help you make up, big brother don't leak anything when you go out."
Zhang Tingzan: "..."
What a shame to have such a second brother!
But Xiao Shengzi walked quietly along the corridor, when a maid came over, the two of them passed by and changed the note in their hands, and after a while, the note was in Gu Huaishu's hands.
Gu Huaixiu unfolded it for a look, but was startled.
"Crabs have two claws and eight legs, and they run wild in Kyushu."
This boldness!
When Gu Huaishu saw it, he froze for a moment, one was because of the momentum of the second couplet, and the other was because of Si elder brother who spared no effort to cheat her!
With a "snap", Gu Huaishu pressed the table and almost flipped it up angrily.
Qingdai broke into a cold sweat: "Girl, everyone is looking at you..."
Gu Huaishu only felt a headache, so he rolled up the note and put it in his sleeve, picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper, "Three shocks with a hammer can undo the chain of nine beads".
Regardless of whether he is neat or not, he would definitely not dare to confront the "crab with two claws and eight legs, running across the world and nine states". If his daughter's family has such courage, Gu Huaishu can cut off his head.
Even if others believed it, once Gu Huaishu went out, he would only be revealing his secrets.
Where did you get the knife to catch your own people!
Gu Huaishu gritted his teeth with hatred, and handed in the second couplet with a gloomy face.
In the front hall, it was lively again.
Zhang Tingyu was also very happy. It could be seen that Kangxi hadn't paid much attention to the front, and had been flipping through the particularly poor handwriting. This time when he saw the second couplet, he laughed loudly: "Which lady is it? Zhi Lanxin is a little clever, it's quite pitiful..."
It's nothing if there is no artistic conception, neatness can only be regarded as a reluctance, but the meaning of this couplet is to use a hammer to unravel the Nine Links. It is simple and rude, but it has found another way.
Li Guangdi sent someone down there to ask, and after a while he reported, "It's the third girl from the Gu family, from Gu Zhenguan's family."
Gu Zhenguan?
Kangxi remembered this name.
Whenever I think of Gu Zhenguan, I must think of another old friend named Nalan Rongruo.
Kangxi sighed: "Poetry can show ambition, and writing can show heart. Gu Zhenguan is a noble person, and his daughter has the style of his father, Linglong Zhilan."
The interest suddenly disappeared, Kangxi got up, waved his hand, but led the people away.
Zhang Tingyu frowned when he saw the second couplet placed on the table by Kangxi.
This thing is already weird, Xiao Shengzi was stunned, Zhang Tingzan was also stunned, even Yinzhen didn't think the last couplet was written by a knife catcher.If Zhang Tingzan wrote such a couplet, would he still be on duty in the Imperial Academy?
On Zhang Tingzan's side, he knew that the second brother was right in the second line, but...how did it come out like this?
Something is clearly wrong!
But it wasn't easy to ask too many questions, so they dispersed before going out.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Zhang Tingzan grabbed Zhang Tingyu and asked, "What are you right about?"
"Gu San is useless." Zhang Tingyu wanted to trick her, but it seemed that Gu San was really Linglong's darling, and he didn't fall for it.
Looking at the coldness in the corners of his second brother's eyes and brows, Zhang Tingzan pondered for a while, and finally understood a bit...
He suddenly laughed out loud: "Second brother, she is your future daughter-in-law, you are not being kind."
But Zhang Tingyu's expression was serious, and he asked him: "She wants to grab the knife, how can she have anything to do with the fourth elder brother?"
Hey, it’s time to protect the food before entering the door!
Seeing that Zhang Tinglu was still outside, Zhang Tingzan lowered the curtain and thought for a while.He is a rare sensible person. He has been with Zhang Ying for so many years, and his mind is extremely clear. He is the first-class smart person in the Zhang family's generation.
"Don't be suspicious of dark ghosts in your heart, come here with your ears."
As soon as Zhang Tingzan finished speaking, Zhang Tingyu let go of his doubts, and finally said: "She is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Zhang Tingzan leaned back lazily, "It's tiring to marry a smart man as a wife, just like my father, it's good to marry a stupid one—"
Suddenly stopped, Zhang Tingzan coughed several times, pretending that he had never said this before, and quickly changed the subject: "Ah, the third brother is here..."
Zhang Tingyu didn't expose him, and fell silent when seeing Zhang Tinglu come in.
The cars left Li's mansion one after another, Yinzhen did not follow Kangxi, and now the emperor was probably going to see Nalan Rongruo again.
He walked out with his hands behind his back, but said: "This time, she should be satisfied."
After today is over, who would dare not praise her Gu San's "commandous orchid heart", "exquisite heart" and "zhilanyushu"?
These are all the emperor's golden words, even though they were said by the Lord Long Live subduedly, sooner or later they will leak out.
In the Qing Dynasty, everything the emperor said was the golden rule.
The entrance of Li Guangdi's mansion was covered with the afterglow of the setting sun.
Spring is coming to an end, people have gone, and the banquet is over.
In a spring, the water falls and the flowers go away.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen walked gracefully, and Xiao Shengzi hurriedly followed.
Just as they left on the front foot, Gu Huaixiu's car also drove over on the back foot, heading back to the mansion.
In the car, Gu Huaishu pulled out the note in his sleeve, staring at the sentence "crabs with two claws and eight legs, roaming across all nine states in the world", lost in thought.
Rampant across Kyushu...
I really dare to say it.
If there is a chance, he should ask fourth master why he deceived himself.
However, who was the one who caught the knife for her?
