Chapter 59 Rule Changes
After Huo Jiuge took her seat, everyone knew her identity. It turned out that she was the legitimate young lady of the Rongguo Duke's mansion who had been sick and recuperating in Jinling.

Suddenly the whole place started to commotion, because the rumors about her were too unbearable, and no one could pity her with the beauty in front of them, so some bold people immediately stood up and said: "It was previously rumored that Rong Guo The young lady from the palace is frail and sick, and has been raised in Jinling, so why are she here today? Could it be that the rumors are false, and that your Huo family deliberately hid her so that she could find an opportunity to appear?"

The person who said this, Huo Jiuge didn't know where he offended him. It seemed that he was bragging about himself, but in fact he was pushing himself in front of everyone, letting himself perform his talents, and entertaining them under the guise of clearing his name. .

She is the legitimate daughter of Duke Rongguo and is not a dancer at the Glee Club. How can she perform on stage?Huo Jiuge was about to retort, but Mrs. Qin snatched her words away: "Jiuge was raised in Jinling to study poetry and painting since he was a child. Now he comes back to take care of grandpa."

She directly added a handful of firewood to the fire, and then watched Huo Jiuge save himself from the flames.

"Oh." The other party immediately followed her words: "It seems that the young lady of the Huo family is not only talented and beautiful, but also has a sincere filial piety."

When the other party was praising Huo Jiuge, he didn't forget to bring in the other girls from the Huo family. After all, Huo Jiuge was a newcomer and everyone didn't know her abilities yet. But for the other two girls from the Huo family, They knew her well, especially the eldest daughter of the Huo family, who was a famously talented girl. She once made a name for herself with her green waist dance, which made her famous all over the world.

Someone once wrote a poem like this: There is a beauty in the Huo family, dancing with a light green waist, feasting in the autumn evening, flying in the clouds and rain.This directly established her reputation as the most talented woman in the capital.

Now he said this deliberately in order to let the two of them compete later.

The ladies at the table were the nobles in the capital who looked down on Huo Jiuge before. Seeing her dressed like this, they felt a little jealous. Therefore, there were many people who wanted to see her make a fool of herself, so following these words, they I just said it would be better to take this opportunity and let everyone compete.

Huo Jiuge raised his lips and said unhurriedly: "Today is a banquet held to celebrate everyone's success in the imperial examination. It is not a dance girl audition in a famous singing band. If anyone likes to watch this, you can Just go straight out and turn left, why waste time here?"

As soon as Huo Jiuge said this, the place fell silent.

Go straight out from here and turn left. Those who don't know are still thinking about what this means, but those who know have already become ashamed, especially the male relatives who yelled the most fiercely.

Because that place is the largest gathering place of Qin Lou and Chu Pavilion in the capital, Huo Jiuge's words undoubtedly slapped the faces of those who wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

But they couldn't be angry. If they were angry, it would only mean that they knew the place she mentioned very well, otherwise they would not have found the place she mentioned so quickly.

Now even the people of the Qin family, who are ready to let their daughter become famous all over the world again with a Zhezhi dance, can no longer say this. Originally, such a major banquet allowed some women from aristocratic families to compete in the name of competition. Showing off one's talents is already a tacitly accepted procedure for everyone, but now that Huo Jiuge mentioned it, it was directly related to the singer. So wouldn't her efforts be in vain?
Of course she would not let her efforts go to waste. She said in a different way: "This is just a time thing for everyone to pass time. If Jiuge is not ready, why not let other ladies call you first?" You can learn from this later, so you won't be unprepared next time." "Auntie, didn't you understand what I meant?" Huo Jiuge tilted her head and asked, "We are here today. The people here are all well-read in poetry and literature. Even if they compete in competitions, they have to follow the way of scholars."

Qin was stunned. She didn't understand what she meant by the scholar's method, but she vaguely felt that her previous efforts were in vain.

Just when she was stunned, a voice interrupted her: "As expected of General Huo's daughter, even her way of speaking is different from that of a young lady from an ordinary family."

The person who said this was Cai Jin, the Taiwei of the capital. Lord Cai, he could be regarded as half of Huo Xin's teacher. When Huo Xin was still there, he often asked him for some Confucian interpretations.

Now Cai Jin is over sixty, but he is still in good spirits. He is also one of the examiners of this year's imperial examination. He has a good relationship with Huo Xin. He even wrote the elegiac couplet at Huo Xin's funeral himself. Huo Jiu Ge's eyebrows and eyes were very much like her father who died young. Cai Jin looked at it with emotion in his heart. If Huo Xin was still alive, maybe the two of them could still cook tea around the stove and talk and laugh as before.

Huo Jiuge looked at Cai Jin who was speaking. Although he felt strange, he knew from his eyes that he had no ill intentions, so he smiled back.

"In that case, why don't we change the way." Cai Jin looked at the flowers on his coffee table and said, "It's spring and it's a day when flowers are in full bloom. I invite you all to write a poem with flowers." , let us Confucian scholars evaluate and evaluate to see who does the best."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar and everyone was discussing. When Xiao Chengji heard this, he snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully: "I know I have no talent and no virtue, so I deliberately made this excuse to delay time."

Although it was Huo Jiuge who rescued the Empress from hell, he did not think that this was her credit, thinking that she was just an accident and just lucky.

After a discussion, everyone agreed to do as Mr. Cai said. In this way, everyone can participate in this event. For those who are really capable, this is a good thing. With so many people, if you come out on top, wouldn't you be able to become famous all over the world?

So everyone was gearing up and started to prepare.

When Huo Qingshang saw that the rules of the game had suddenly changed, she immediately panicked. Although she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, for this banquet, she had practiced the difficult Zhezhi dance hundreds of times, but now she suddenly changed it to a composition. Poetry, she had no preparation at all.

She looked at Qin for help, but Qin asked her to relax. Although the dance she prepared could not be completed, she did not believe that Huo Jiuge could write any good poems if he stayed in Jinling.

She believed that the final winner would definitely be her daughter, while Huo Jiuge could only be trampled under others' feet and never be able to stand up again!
