Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 265 Reminder
"The grass on the Suting River is long, who leans against the east wind and the twelfth lane. Swallows don't come back. It's late in spring, and the misty rain and apricot blossoms are cold."

"Good poem, good poem, Brother Fan's poem is even better than the one just now."

"No, it's a pity that the Eldest Princess left in a hurry, otherwise Brother Fan might be able to win the leader, and I don't know if this poetry meeting can continue."

As soon as these words came out, all the poets put down their pens and papers and looked towards the Moon Gate.yes!If the eldest princess is in a hurry and cannot turn around, how can this poem continue.

Fortunately, the scene they were worried about did not happen, and not long after they turned their heads, they saw the waitress who had left with the eldest princess turned back, and saw her hurrying to the other side of the bridge, and took the lead to find Mrs. Ji Guogong.

Hearing her whisper, Mrs. Ji Guogong was startled at first, and immediately reacted to call the ladies present to move forward and talk, and only spoke in a low voice when everyone gathered to one side, some distance away from the stream.

What!The officials are here!

Upon hearing the news, the ladies looked at each other in blank dismay.Then I was a little nervous, afraid that my daughter would make some jokes because of her inappropriateness, and also afraid that the officials would make mistakes.

But the panic was only for a moment, after all, they had seen the world, and when they came back to their senses, the ladies hurriedly collected their minds, with decent smiles on their faces, and returned to their seats as if nothing had happened.

When the little ladies asked about it, they just smiled and shook their heads, letting them continue to write poems.

This scene fell in the eyes of the young gentlemen on the opposite side, and they only felt relieved, seeing that it should be no big deal, everyone was relieved and continued to talk about poetry.

When Zhao Duan came in, what he saw was such a scene, a small stream separated the two banks, and tables and mats were laid on the bank, and the young lady and the young gentlemen faced each other across the bank, writing poems by themselves.

The wives who came with them were whispering in twos and threes.

He looked at the furnishings by the stream, smiled and said to the Eldest Princess, "Look at the layout, isn't it necessary for the luncheon to imitate the flowing water?"

The eldest princess nodded, "Exactly, it's rare to have such running water, and it just so happens that the season and climate are suitable, so we can adapt to local conditions."

"It's really elegant." Zhao Duan nodded with a smile.

"Princess,,,,,,,," Seeing a few people coming in, everyone stood up and saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, I just left in a hurry to trouble you for a long time." The eldest princess said with an apologetic face, and walked to her original position, without any intention of introducing the people around her.

Although everyone was puzzled in their hearts, they did not dare to ask each other rashly.Zhao Duan just followed behind the eldest princess Shi Shiran, and when he got there, he sat down on the straw mat next to her very naturally.

In order not to disturb everyone, he had asked the guards who came with him to wait outside the moon gate, so at this time there were only Qin Pei and Lu Yuancheng by his side.

Suddenly, the two men who shouldered heavy responsibilities had to sit on both sides of Zhao Duan. Fortunately, some seats were reserved on both sides of the eldest princess, otherwise three big men suddenly added at this time, and it would be too crowded.

The eldest princess left all the guests and left in a hurry to pick up these three people. It stands to reason that she should attach great importance to them, but after receiving them, she didn't even give a single word of introduction. It's really strange!
The young gentlemen and the young ladies are full of doubts.Some people who are good at analysis already have vague guesses in their minds, such as Wen Shu, Lu Xingwan, and Qin Jingyang.

My elder brother had clearly gone to court this morning, but he suddenly appeared here, and there were two more people beside him, the one in the middle seemed to have an extraordinary bearing, but anyone who turned his head around a little, could figure it out a little bit.

Wen Shu could guess that it was because she knew two of those three people, Lu Yuancheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Qin Pei, a political advisor, who could accompany these two big men at the same time.
It turns out that this is the real face of the official family!
Really fair and thin, with a blessed face, Wen Shu, who saw Sheng Yan for the first time, couldn't help staring at Zhao Duan.

Although every year during the Lantern Festival, the officials would visit the Xuande Building to have fun with the people, and she had visited it several times, but at night the lights flickered and the voices were full of people, and the officials sat behind the bead curtains, only a vague shadow could be seen .

At this time, carefully comparing the shadow in my mind with the person in front of me, I can't help but look more and more alike.

Just as he lifted his robe and sat down, Lu Yuancheng felt a gaze cast over him, and when he looked up, he saw it was his sister.Realizing that he was looking over, Lu Xingwan blinked mischievously, then lowered his head as if nothing had happened and continued writing poems.

Lu Yuancheng shook his head and chuckled, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wen Shu who was sitting blankly. At that time, her eyes were fixed on the official next to him, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

How can an official's holy face look at him like this, really.
"Cough..." He coughed lightly.

"What's wrong with Lu Qing, but he's not healthy?" Zhao Duan next to him was the first to react.

"It's nothing, I just feel that my throat is a little itchy, I'm disturbed..." Swallowing the two "officials" who had reached their mouths back, Lu Yuancheng gave Wen Shu a sideways glance.

Awakened by the voice, and meeting his eyes again, Wen Shu hurriedly looked away.

Hasty, how can the official's sage look at him like this, but fortunately Lord Lu reminded him, it's so dangerous, so dangerous! .

Seeing that she withdrew her gaze and never looked this way again, Lu Yuancheng withdrew her gaze and looked at the audience in satisfaction. When Duan Qinying also came to the poetry meeting, a stern look flashed across his face.

Youdao kept looking at himself, how could Zhao Duan, the person involved, not know, but just when he wanted to see who was so bold, he heard Lu Yuancheng beside him cough lightly, and then...
Zhao Duan, who saw everything in his eyes, said, it's interesting!
Sure enough, today's poem will come.

"It's over, it's over, why is dad here? This time I can't hook up with the little lady." Qin Jingyang shrank his head in the crowd, and his mood fell from the cloud to the bottom.

"The clouds are light and the wind is approaching noon, and the flowers and willows pass by the front of the river. At that time, people didn't know Yu Xinle, and they would be called young people who sneaked to learn."

"Okay, okay."

"Brother Ning is talented."

There was another burst of applause in the garden.

"What kind of masterpiece is it? Let's present it for a look." The Eldest Princess said first.

She and Zhao Duan's mother knew that he liked writing and ink the most, and would definitely take a look at it when he came across good reading and good words. In order to prevent him from opening his mouth in a hurry to reveal his flaws, she had to do it for him.

And she is the host of today's poetry meeting, so it is reasonable for her to come forward.

The eldest princess opened her mouth, and after a while the poem was presented to the case. The eldest princess looked at it for a while, and then passed it to Zhao Duan next to her.

Zhao Duan nodded again and again after reading it, not only praised the poem's exquisite words and profound artistic conception, but also took a second look at the poet.

When the poem was passed on to the two great Confucians, he was excited and said to both sides: "Since you are here at the poetry meeting, why don't you write a poem?"

Hearing this, Qin Pei cupped his hands again and again, "I'm old, I'm old, I'm not as talented as young people, I have nothing to give, I have nothing to give. Let's invite Lu Xiaoyou to sing a song?"

Seeing Zhao Duan looking over, Lu Yuancheng didn't refuse. After pondering for a moment, he softly said: "The chaotic strips haven't turned yellow yet, but they will go wild when leaning on the east wind. If you cover the sun and moon with flying flowers, you don't know that there is clear frost in the world."

The voice fell and the whole room was silent.
