Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 179 Conjoint Sentence
How could Nalan Yulu not understand what Guo Luo and Luo Mingyuan could understand?

She finally came to Nianxin Garden once, so she naturally wanted to please Chen Wenxin and make her feel good about herself.

Although Chen Wenxin was one year younger than her, she still kept her head low and spoke to her with the attitude of serving the venerable.

She is a concubine in the palace, and even Xiang Ming and his brother are respectful to her, and it doesn't hurt to lie low.

The stone table in Ziyu Pavilion is a whole piece of round white marble, not very big.

Chen Wenxin sat at the top, the monarch and his ministers were different, Xiang Ming and Nalan's brother and sister sat at the bottom.

When Chen Wenyi came in, seeing that the lower seat was already filled by the three of them, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Chen Wenxin teased: "Second brother, is it hot? There will be some water vapor splashing here, and it will be the coolest."

She pointed to a seat next to her, which was occupied by Chen Wenxin on the first day of her family visit. The cool water vapor made him cheer.

Chen Wenyi was not rigid, and simply sat down beside her.

Both Xiang Ming and Nalan Rongruo are not such pedantic veterans, and they both have a very good personal relationship with him.

There are not many young courtiers in the court, and the ideas of the elders and the young people are very different, and they can't play together in private.

It made these young courtiers feel sorry for each other.

The reason why they made friends with Xiang Ming was because Chen Wenxin asked him to help him save each other, so the two had a chance to know each other.

Xiang Ming and Nalan Rongruo have always had a personal relationship, but Nalan Mingzhu has always opposed it, saying that Xiang Ming will eventually be clever and be mistaken by cleverness.

Therefore, the friendship between the two has never been made public.

This time Xiang Ming offended Longyan, the emperor forgave him again, which made the courtiers think that the emperor attached great importance to Xiang Ming.
-
If he didn't take it very seriously, how could he be unscathed after offending Longyan?

Seeing this, Nalan Mingzhu allowed Nalan Rongruo to communicate with Xiang Ming in an aboveboard manner.

Chen Wenyi also got acquainted with Nalan Rongruo through Xiang Ming.

Seeing this, Nalan Yulu only said: "Ms. Qin and General Chen's brothers and sisters have such a good relationship, and Yulu looks so envious."

She and Nalan Rongruo are also a pair of brother and sister, using this topic to attract Chen Wenxin's attention is the best.

Sure enough, Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "What? Don't you have a bad relationship with Mr. Nalan's brother and sister?"

Nalan Rongruo raised his head and gave Nalan Yulu a warning look.

"Look, madam, that's how my brother loves me."

Everyone looked at Nalan Rongruo all at once, before he could retract his supercilious eyes, his face became embarrassed.

"When you are a female red weaving at home, playing the piano, painting and reciting poems, do I have any feelings for you?"

Nalan Rongruo scolded, "Who knew that you were so unruly when you first met Concubine Qin and Lan Xiang."

Chen Wenyi listened silently, what Nalan Rongruo meant was clearly to show everyone——
His younger sister is usually a young lady who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not the shrew that everyone saw today arguing with Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan.

This is reshaping the first impression for Nalan Yulu.

No wonder Nalan Rongruo, he knew his sister wanted to marry Chen Wenyi, so how could he not help?

Not to mention his handsome appearance and majestic bearing, Chen Wenyi is an excellent candidate for his sister-in-law if he has repeatedly made military exploits and is young and promising.

He and Chen Wenyi were on good terms, and if Chen Wenyi became his sister-in-law, it would be even better if they got closer.

Xiang Ming replied foolishly, "Ah, it seems that Miss Nalan is really a woman of many talents."

Chen Wenxin almost wanted to laugh out loud.

This Xiang Ming, what he said, was like a babysitter who could be hired for fifty cents!
Hahaha!
The play of the Nalan Yulu brothers and sisters was successfully concluded by Xiang Ming's finishing words.

Here Bai Lu led a few young maids to serve tea again, removed the melon and fruit snacks, and replaced them with fresh ones.

Chen Wenxin said: "It's boring to sit elegantly. I just told my family a few days ago that I want to use the Yuting Pavilion as a cup for Qushui, and write poems for an elegant banquet."

Chen Wenyi was worried about her health and didn't want her to drink alcohol.

He said: "It's just that it's not suitable to drink alcohol in this hot day, why don't you come to couplets for fun?"

A couplet is a way of composing a poem, which means that a poem is created by two or more people, and each person connects one or several sentences to form a poem.

Xiang Ming said: "Couple sentence is good, let's make a couplet sentence, ma'am? This couplet sentence doesn't stick to one person to say a few words, and you don't need to conceive the whole story. That's easy."

Xiang Ming is a person who concentrates on stereotyped literature. He is proficient in political articles, but his poetry is just average.

Chen Wenxin certainly agrees, it really takes a lot of brainpower for a person to come up with a complete poem.

These couplets are interesting, test your quickness, and are not very difficult.

"Okay. It's my honor to compose a poem with the number one talented man in the capital."

Chen Wenxin admired Nalan Rongruo so much, Chen Wenyi frowned and glanced at her.

She had never met Nalan Rongruo before, even if she had heard a few of his poems circulating in the market, she wouldn't think so highly of him, would she?

Nalan Rongruo waved his hands modestly and said with a smile: "Why should your empress be modest? Why don't you ask your empress to start?"

There are five people here, and there are differences between monarchs and ministers, so she can only start.

Chen Wenxin thought for a while and said, "The place of pleasure in the capital."

For a couplet poem, the best beginning is to say nothing, so as not to bind people in one place.

Nalan Rongruo hurriedly said hello, and then continued: "Singing and dancing brass."

Baitong is a folk song, which is said to have been composed by Emperor Wu of Liang.

Chen Wenyi immediately said, "Jiang Bi returns to Lushui,"

"The flower moon fascinates people."

As soon as Nalan Yulu opened her mouth, she was full of childlike air.

Xiang Ming asked again, "When the monkey is drunk!"

A monkey is a simple mountain.A native of the Jin Dynasty, the son of Shan Tao, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove".

He used to be the general who conquered the south and guarded a city.But he didn't care about government affairs, he only knew how to drink and have fun, so people made up a song "Monkey Song" to make fun of him.

Mentioning this mountain slip became even more interesting, Nalan Rongruo was about to pick it up, but Chen Wenyi had already snatched it.

"Drunken under the high wall."

Chen Wenxin continued, "The fence is white on the head."

The white towel is the white towel. It is said that every time this Shanjian finishes drinking, he will wear a white towel on his head and ride home on horseback.

If Nalan Rongruo liked it, he made a trick himself, "Riding the horse backwards."

Nalan Yulu was so angry that she slapped him, "It's just readymade!"

Nalan Rongruo took a sip of tea at this moment and was almost beaten out by Nalan Yulu.

"Okay, okay, I will pick up all the cash for you in the future."

"I think Mr. Nalan treats Miss Nalan very well."

Chen Wenxin hurriedly continued, "Xian Mountain is next to the Han River."

"The water is smooth and the sand is like snow."

Nalan Yulu managed to grab one.

Chen Wenyi continued leisurely: "There is a stele of falling tears."

Legend has it that after Yang Hu's death, in order to commemorate his political achievements, the people of Xiangyang built a stele and erected a temple at the place where Hu spent his whole life in Xianshan, and offered food and sacrifices every year.

Because all those who look at the monument shed tears, it is called the monument of falling tears.

"Okay, this sentence is really good!"

Xiang Ming couldn't help but praise, and said: "The moss fades away after a long time."

Nalan Rongruo also praised it, and continued: "Let's get drunk and learn about the family pool."

Chen Wenxin chuckled, "Don't look at the Monument of Falling Tears."

As soon as she said this, everyone burst into laughter.

Nalan Yulu laughed so hard that she fell on the table, and her brother pushed her to go down the line again.

Xiang Ming laughed and clapped his hands, "Miss Qin, you really...hahaha."

The second half of the sentence he didn't say was, it was so funny.

Chen Wenyi also laughed, "Okay, you picked up my off-the-shelf and used it for fun."

Chen Wenxin couldn't help herself laughing, and Bai Lu patted her back behind her, giving her comfort.

She could not understand the poems sung by the crowd, nor did she know why they were laughing.

The master said something just now, don't look at the stele of tears.

These people laughed like crazy.

She bit her lip slightly, seeing that Nalan Yulu was lying on the table with a smile, not looking like a young lady, it was amused and jealous at the same time.

She laughed at Nalan Yulu for losing her composure, and was jealous that she could understand and compose poems.

A man like Chen Wenyi should be matched with a talented daughter like her.

She silently looked at Chen Wenyi's smiling face. In front of her master, he always smiled so unscrupulously.

Nalan Yulu also looked at Chen Wenyi, she didn't expect him to smile so generously, it was heart-shattering.

"As far as I can see, there can't be any more links, and it's too long-winded."

Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "You guys are about to end it, my stomach hurts from laughing now, I can't do it anymore."

She looked at Nalan Yulu, this girl who pretended to be a young lady, was quite cute in her original temperament.

I just don't know if Chen Wenyi likes it or not.

She looked at Chen Wenyi, only to hear Nalan Rongruolian say: "The monkey wants to mount a horse."

Chen Wenyi seamlessly connected, "Laughing makes Yandu people mad."

The crowd laughed again.

"Okay, okay, no more burdensome."

Chen Wenxin praised: "Second brother answered the last sentence very well."

The maid brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Nalan Rongruo took the pen to record all the couplets that everyone had just said.

Only then did Nalan Yulu realize that she was determined to show off her talents in front of Chen Wenyi, but she failed in the ranking.

She followed up with two sentences, and now she writes them out to comment one by one, it seems that her two sentences are very boudoir.

Chen Wenxin is also a girl in a boudoir, but her poems are natural, sincere, open and open, which is amazing.

Especially the sentence "don't look at the stele of falling tears", after making people laugh, they are full of emotions.

The deep meaning in it really makes people unbelievable that it is connected with sex.

She smiled embarrassedly: "Ashamed, I have dragged down everyone's literary talent."

"How could Ms. Nalan win against them? I see that Lan Xiang and Rong Ruo have put in all their strength today."

Xiang Mingyuan is average in poetry, he doesn't mind that he falls behind in the couplets.

Chen Wenxin also felt strange, the second brother is not a showy person, why does it seem like he wants to overwhelm Nalan Rongruo today?
Could it be that he wanted to show off in front of Nalan Yulu?

Nalan Rongruo said: "The Chen family has a long history of education, and my brother and sister are really inferior."

"If the number one talented person in the capital is not up to it, who else can?"

Everyone talked and laughed again, and they didn't rest until evening.
