in the sound of swallows

Chapter 28
Before Gu Chaodong could speak, Shen Guiya was ahead of him.Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, and Prime Minister Gu also felt that she was being rude: "Ya'er, don't be presumptuous."

Fu Xueshi was still sizing up Shen Guiyan in secret, but this time he came to the prime minister's mansion to get close to Prime Minister Gu and convey the queen's will, and to take a good look at Shen Guiyan.

Shen Guiyan has a great reputation, even though many masters in the palace have never summoned her, they still observe her movements.Now that he is married to the fourth son of the Gu family, he doesn't know if it will cause disaster in the future, so he came to check in person.

As a result, Shen Guiyan stood silently behind, not inconspicuous at all, but this Shen Guiya was very conspicuous.

"Since the young lady has spoken, there is no harm in discussing one or two." Fu Xueshi smiled kindly: "May I ask which two poems are they?"

Shen Guiya has never read any books. In modern times, she was just a small salesperson in a cosmetics store. She couldn't recite the three hundred capitals of Tang poems. The only thing she could think of was the very classic line:

"Ask what love is in the world, it's just a promise between life and death."

She read it to Xueshi Fu affectionately, with her chin raised, confident and flamboyant.

This is always written in the time-travel novels. The ignorant modern Xiaobai traveled to the ancient times and recited a few lines of poems at will, and he could defeat the ancient talented women and win applause from all the halls.

But after she finished reading these two sentences, there was silence in the lobby.

what happened?Shen Guiya was a little dazed, she turned her head and asked Mrs. Gu in a low voice, "Did I read well?"

Mrs. Gu was also born as a lady. Hearing this poem, half of her face turned dark: "Is this a poem?"

What is not poetry?Shen Guiya frowned, she only remembered this sentence, she hadn't thought about the first two sentences or the following for a long time.But these two sentences alone should be enough to make people praise, right?

"This..." Fu Xueshi forced a smile: "Did the young lady do it?"

"Yes." Shen Guiya nodded.

Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes, she couldn't bear to watch this scene anymore.It's fine that Shen Guiya has never read a book seriously, but she even dared to show off in front of the Grand Master.

"Fourth Young Madam, do you know what Eldest Young Madam is reading?" Fu Xueshi suddenly asked with a smile.

"I know a little bit." Shen Guiyan sighed, bowed her head and said, "It's Yuan Haowen's "Touching the Fish", the first two lines are what my sister-in-law read just now."

There was silence in the flower hall, Shen Guiya gasped, and immediately turned her head to ask Yushu: "Are you here after the Tang and Song Dynasties?"

Yushu was at a loss, unable to understand what she was saying.

"Fourth Young Madam is very knowledgeable." Fu Xueshi looked at Shen Guiyan and nodded, then looked at Shen Guiya and said, "Thinking that the First Young Madam has never read that collection of poems, she happened to have the same feeling as the predecessors."

One of the most embarrassing things in the world is being exposed.Shen Guiya blushed, looked at Shen Guiyan bitterly, stood up and said, "I will write other things."

"Ya'er!" Prime Minister Gu felt ashamed, and Gu Chaodong's face was even more ugly.Who is she as Bachelor Fu, who can stand her rudeness?
"It doesn't matter." Fu Xueshi really couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "Singing and dancing musical instruments are all boring and boring, it's better to recite poems and compose pairs to be more elegant and interesting. In my opinion, it's better to let all these dancing girls go Now that I have found a place to put on the Four Treasures of the Study, this old man just happens to see the demeanor of Mr. Gu."

When it came to Gu Chaodong, Prime Minister Gu's expression became better: "That's fine."

Mrs. Gu gave Shen Guiya a hand, her eyes were not very kind, Shen Guiya was angry and didn't care if it was in compliance with the rules or not.She came from time-traveling, so she should shine brightly, otherwise, she has been so mediocre, how can she be worthy of her time-traveling status?

The Four Treasures of the Study really came up, Shen Guiya didn't care about Mrs. Gu's face, she stepped forward and picked up the brush.

Then it's silly.

How can a modern uneducated young woman know how to write calligraphy?No matter, write with simple strokes, just treat it as a painting.Isn't Huanzhugege also two scribbles, which makes people feel novel?

Gu Chaodong also came up next to him, glanced at Shen Guiya, frowned, and then picked up his pen to write something.

Shen Guiyan still stood in the crowd without moving, and Jiang Shi behind her gently pushed her: "Young Madam, such a good opportunity, and the fourth young master is not here, you can also win glory for him, so the young lady is ashamed today It's lost, don't you just show your performance?"

"No." Shen Guiyan shook her head, looked at the flamboyant Shen Guiya and said: "Today, the father-in-law hosted a banquet just to let the young master get the appreciation of the bachelor, and no matter who goes there, good or bad, they will not be treated well. .”

"But..." Jiang Shi pointed at Shen Guiya, wanting to say that she would just go up there?

"It's not necessarily a good thing to be too sharp." Shen Guiyan smiled slightly: "A wise man is only when he is in a hurry and hides in peacetime."

Mrs. Jiang disagreed, after all, she was a teenage daughter's family, and she felt that showing off was the best thing to do, but the young lady's indifferent appearance made people anxious.

"Write two lines of what you feel and think, and you can make it into a poem." Fu Xueshi said with a smile.

Gu Chaodong is very calm, he writes with spirit, and he can compose a poem in no time.However, Shen Guiya was even faster, and put down the brush within a few strokes: "It's done."

Prime Minister Gu's face was pale, and he was already extremely displeased.Normally, Mrs. An would always praise this daughter-in-law for her virtuousness and generosity, but now she is so ignorant that she even wants to steal the limelight from her husband, what kind of words.

Besides, she doesn't look like she has a lot of ink in her stomach, she was born here to show off her abilities.Gui Yan, who has always been called a talented woman, didn't say a word, but she was impatient.

"Shall we read it first?" Fu Xueshi knocked on the table and said, "I just had a few words in my mind, why don't I throw bricks to attract jade first."

Gu Chaodong bowed slightly: "My lord, please."

"There are many heroes in Dongshan, but few tigers rest on their bows and crossbows. They are looking for talented people, and they want to fight tigers." Fu Xueshi looked at Gu Chaodong, knocked on the table, and read out sentence by sentence.

Shen Guiyan was startled.

Fu Xueshi put his words on the bright side, now the world is peaceful and there are enough good ministers.If you ask again, you are asking for someone who has the heart to "fight the tiger".

One mountain cannot have two tigers, and one country cannot have two masters.Who is this tiger fighting for?
There was a chill down her back, she felt a little lucky at the moment, fortunately it wasn't Gu Chaobei who was going to be an official.

Gu Chaodong also had cold sweat on his forehead, cupped his fists and bowed to Xueshi Fu: "Master Fu's poem is very good, and Chaodong understands its meaning."

"Oh?" Fu Xueshi laughed loudly: "He is really the number one talented person in the capital, and he is transparent."

Shen Guiya stood by and listened, with a smile on her face, but she was very contemptuous in her heart.What kind of poem is this? It has no artistic conception or meaning, just begging someone to fight a tiger?

Taking a look at what she wrote, Shen Guiya smiled and said, "What did my husband write?"

Gu Chaodong glanced at her, picked up the rice paper that had been written on, and said, "Let's make a few sentences in the class, and I'd like to ask Mr. Fu for advice."

Fu Xueshi nodded.

"Women are two feet up the battlefield, and barbarians retreat ten miles to the south. Why can't the phoenix crush the phoenix? A woman may not lose a man." After reading, Gu Chaodong knelt down and held the rice paper in front of Xueshi Fu.

Fu Xueshi was overjoyed, took the rice paper and said, "Okay! A good woman doesn't necessarily lose her son. If the eldest son says it, the old man will definitely bring it to the empress, to show the loyalty of the eldest son!"

Gu Chaodong heaved a sigh of relief, and Prime Minister Gu beside him had a complicated expression, but he was also smiling.After hearing these words, Mrs. Gu lost her heart.

If this poem is well written, it will definitely win the favor of the empress, and Gu Chaodong doesn't have to worry about his future at all.

Everyone was overjoyed and praised Gu Chaodong's poems one after another.Shen Guiya also thinks that his writing is good, at least there is the concept of equality between men and women in it, he is really a good man.

However, it seems that everyone doesn't care about what she wrote.Fu Xueshi and Gu Chaodong had already started talking about government affairs, and the rest of the people also sat down and were about to start eating.

How embarrassing it is to leave like this, if it is brought out again, no one will look at it.Shen Guiya feels that she is really the protagonist with a rough life, so many talents are not appreciated, and she has never encountered such a great opportunity for others to discover her difference.

She was gritting her teeth, but Mrs. Gu gave her a step down: "Ya'er, come and have dinner first."

"...Yes." Shen Guiya held her own rice paper and sat back on her seat reluctantly.Shen Guiyan sat next to her, eating quietly.

"Don't be too happy!" Shen Guiya whispered angrily: "Today was just an accident, I know a lot more than you, next time you have a chance, you will definitely find how far you are from me! "

Shen Guiyan blinked, looking very innocent.She didn't say anything, she was the one who asked her to wait and see at first, and she was the one who said these words now, God knows she wasn't very happy at all, and was still thinking about things in the court.

Xu Mengdie sat on the other side of Shen Guiyan, looked at Shen Guiyan's appearance, curled her lips and said: "Those who can't get on the stage will not be able to get on the stage after all, no matter where they come from."

Shen Guiyan heard it and glanced sideways at her.Xu Mengdie smiled and ate quietly like her.

Shen Guiya was full of dissatisfaction, she was holding the rice paper in her hand and was reluctant to throw it away, she came out to the garden after finishing her meal, and said angrily: "Yusu, why didn't you tell me that this place is after the Tang and Song Dynasties? I don't have to So embarrassing!"

Yushu was so innocent that she had no idea what she meant after Tang and Song Dynasties.

"Miss, don't be too angry, I believe the master and wife will not take today's matter to heart."

Shen Guiya waved her hands irritably, it wasn't a matter of whether they let go of their minds, she just felt ashamed.

People are animals who want to express themselves and prove that they are different. If they fail to perform, they will become a laughing stock. Naturally, they will feel annoyed for a long time.

Rubbing the rice paper in her hand, Shen Guiya became more and more annoyed as she thought about it, so she simply threw it away in the garden.

"I don't believe that someone who knows thousands of years more than her can still beat her!"
