The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 290 Poetry Society
Daiyu asked the girl to support the board, and seeing Mu Xu was puzzled, she had to explain carefully the rules of today's scholars.It was only then that Mu Xu realized that although since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the country has used imperial examinations to select officials, which seemed to have cut off the foundation of the family, but scholars huddled together again because they had mastered the channel of knowledge transmission.Nowadays, if scholars want to achieve success in their studies, there are basically only two channels. One is to have their own inheritance at home, and the other is to study in academies.

What's more, Mu Xu thinks more, those literati can rely on the academies, and when they pass the imperial examination, they can sit in the same way as teachers and students, forming an impenetrable network of relationships, which can be used to influence the government, just like the late Ming dynasty. The Donglin Party is average, which is much more harmful to a country than the group of nobles.He made up his mind, and later suggested to Tu Zhen that the court officials run some academies to check and balance those elites.

Daiyu and the others didn't know that Mu Xu had thought so much in just a short while.Seeing him in a daze, Daiyu made fun of him, "Why, our son wants to go to the academy to study?"

Facing the amused expressions of several people, Mu Xu shook his head and laughed, "It's not like you don't know that my head gets dizzy when I see books. Every time you write a poem right, I hide as much as I can. How dare I go to the academy to make a fool of myself?"

Baochai covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "It can be regarded as speaking from the bottom of my heart. I was surprised before, why every time when it comes to running a poetry club, you just talk about him from left to right, so the problem actually came out. At this."

Daiyu also said, "That's right. If you had admitted earlier, we wouldn't have asked you to accompany us. Maybe the poetry club has been held several times."

Mu Xu couldn't say no to them, so he said directly, "Well, all the mistakes are my fault! In order to express my apology, I will pay all the money you need to start the poetry club tomorrow from my private treasury, and treat it as a It's good to apologize."

Daiyu and Baochai are both rich, so naturally they don't care about this little money, but the money has different meanings, so the two agreed with one voice, and Daiyu said, "It's good to have what you say. Speaking of it, since my sister It has been several years since we got married, and we just took this opportunity to relax together."

Baochai pointed out, "This idea is good, but I don't know if someone will agree to it?" After speaking, he looked at Mu Xu. Mu Xu spread his hands and said Qu Qu, "When did I say I don't agree? You guys If you have this idea, just let it go and do it."

Hearing what Mu Xu said, the two girls immediately discussed what to do, but Mu Xu ignored them, seeing that Grandma Liu was sitting in the room and couldn't get in the way, so she simply ordered Mei Jian, "Take grandma to the guest room to settle down. " Then he said to Grandma Liu, "Grandma, let's go and rest for a while, later, there will be a maid who will invite you to the banquet."

Grandma Liu agreed with a smile, confessed to several people, and followed Mei Jian with her board.But Mu Xu got up, and said to Daiyu, "You discuss it slowly, I went to Yinglian, and I haven't seen An'er in the past two days."

Daiyu waved her hand, "Go on your own. Remember to inform Yinglian that a poetry club will be held in Dengxiang Pavilion in the back garden in the future, and let her not forget to join."

"Okay, I got it, I will talk to her." While Mu Xu was speaking, he had already arrived outside the door, and then disappeared.

The next day, grandma Liu, grandparents and grandchildren were sent away, so Daiyu sent servants to post messages to sisters-in-law Li Wan, Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun and others, asking them to come to the house for a gathering the next day.Several people who received the post responded one after another and said they would attend the appointment on time.Sure enough, the next day, everyone came to Dongping Palace one after another. Under the leadership of Daiyu, they first visited Concubine Zhang and Princess Changning, and then walked towards the garden together.

Entering the garden, all the girls stopped and walked, looking at the scenery along the way, each admiring. Wang Xifeng, who used to always talk and talk, fell behind quietly, but she was on the way just now, and she received a signal to welcome the spring. So he deliberately slowed down to see what my sister-in-law had to say.

Walking beside Wang Xifeng, Yingchun said in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, I have a difficult matter to ask you, I hope you can accommodate me."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "You are living comfortably now, your husband loves you, and you are surrounded by your beloved son, what can you ask me for?"

Yingchun said angrily, "Sister-in-law is joking, as if my brother treats you badly. If you admit it, then I will ask my brother, and I will fight for you."

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is afraid of you! Alas, it can be seen that she is married and has become the head of the house. Where is the clumsy second girl in front?" Wang Xifeng joked a few words before asking Picking up Yingchun, "Just tell me what you have to say, why should our sister-in-law go around?"

Yingchun glanced at the few people in front of her, and said in a low voice, "I want to ask my sister-in-law for someone. His name is Pan You'an, and he is a servant in our house."

Hearing Yingchun's words, Wang Xifeng was puzzled, "I've vaguely heard about this person, what do you want him to do for no reason?"

Yingchun sighed, "Oh, it's not for that girl Siqi." Then she explained the relationship between Siqi and Pan You'an to Wang Xifeng in detail.It turned out that Pan Youan and Siqi could be said to be childhood sweethearts, and they had made a private decision for life long ago, but Pan Youan was a bit cowardly, and even Shiqi's family objected, and Siqi later married into Liu's family with Yingchun. People can only come and go in secret.It wasn't until a few days ago that Pan You'an came to look for a private chess meeting again, but unfortunately he was bumped into by Liu Xianglian, and Yingchun didn't realize it until he found out about it.

After saying this, Yingchun sighed, "My sister-in-law also knows that I used to be weak-tempered. When I was in the house, I was often manipulated by the nanny in the room. Fortunately, the girl Siqi was tough-tempered and protected me a lot, so I just Thinking about it, it is better to fulfill them, and it is also worthy of the master and servant."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng only thought about it for a while, and then said, "Second sister has good intentions, I will not be such a wicked person. When I return home today, I will ask Ping'er to check to see who is under Pan's job. If there is no hindrance , and send him to your house."

"Thank you sister-in-law, my sister thanked you so much!" Yingchun knew that since Wang Xifeng said so, the matter must be close, and hurriedly bowed to him to thank him.Wang Xifeng was about to say a few polite words, but when she didn't want to, she heard Daiyu's voice, "Yo, what is your sister-in-law singing?"

The two of them searched for their reputation, but they saw Daiyu returning with the snow geese, standing not far away, looking at this side with a smile on her face.Wang Xifeng replied with a smile, "Our sister-in-law doesn't matter what she says, but you, the master, don't entertain guests, so why do you come here to hide?"

"Even if you want to entertain guests, you have to have all the guests. You can't leave the two sisters behind. Wouldn't that be too rude?"

While arguing with Wang Xifeng, Daiyu led the two of them, turned around among the flowers and grass, walked through the path under the rockery, and came to a three-story attic near the lake.Several people climbed up to the third floor and joined the crowd. Seeing the exquisite furnishings in the room and the scenery outside the window, Wang Xifeng praised, "As expected of a palace, the scenery is really different from ordinary people's houses!"

Sanchun and the others echoed it endlessly, while Daiyu said modestly, "How could it be so good, it's nothing more than ordinary."

When Shi Xiangyun heard the words, he immediately said, "Everyone can see, our Concubine Lin Shizi is really different from what it used to be, and such a good place is not taken seriously!"

Daiyu smiled and replied, "Girl, why haven't I seen you for so long, and you are still so cramped. If everyone really likes this place, just stay for a few more days."

Shi Xiangyun was overjoyed at first, and then depressed, "Thank you sister for your kindness, but today is different. After I get married, I can't be as free as before." As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated.

Baochai, who was ordering the girl to serve tea for everyone, saw that Xiangyun's words aroused everyone's reverie, so he deliberately teased, "This is not like our sister Yun's temper, could it be that sister-in-law Yun can control it?"

Tanchun followed, "Sister Bao's words are wrong. In my opinion, it's clear that Sister Yun is reluctant to part with Brother Yun's husband, so she deliberately uses marriage as an excuse."

"Well, you third sister, you still bully me with Sister Bao, and see how I deal with you!" Shi Xiangyun was sung by the two, his face was flushed, and he immediately refused to obey.Several people quarreled for a while, but it was Mei Jian's arrival that made them calm down.
