Jiao Luan

Chapter 424
"A few female gentlemen please transcribe the poems." After all the poems were taken away by the maids, Dow said to the several women who had already been waiting aside.

These women are between 40 and [-] years old. They are all female gentlemen with outstanding virtues in Beijing and Chinese.

Several female gentlemen nodded, walked to the rows of screens, dipped their pens in ink, and began to write freely on the white silk.

Several female gentlemen first eliminated the unqualified poems, and copied the remaining poems one by one on the white silk screen. First, it was convenient for the male guests on the other side of the screen to comment, and second, it was to prevent the handwriting of the female guests from being recognized. To show fairness.

As for the poet's boudoir name, of course it will not appear, but in the lower left corner of the white silk screen, there will be a certain family name written on the white silk screen to identify the identity, and before the results of the poem review come out, it will be covered with red silk cloth.

After half an hour, all qualified poems were written on the screen one by one, and the maids filed in, turned the screen around, and moved it to the other end of the tent.

The female guest was worried, but the male guest's side suddenly became lively.

Daliang's restraint on women is not as strict as that of the previous dynasty. "Women are virtuous if they are ignorant" is just a self-deceiving statement, but anyone who has the conditions will ask a husband to read and read for their daughters.

There are many talented women in Beijing, dancing dragons and phoenixes on white silk screens, and there is no shortage of outstanding works. The focus of people's controversy finally focused on two poems.

"Beside the broken bridge outside the post, there is no one left alone. It's already dusk to worry about alone, with wind and rain. I don't want to fight for spring, and let the crowd be jealous. Scattered into mud and dust, only the fragrance is the same..." Read here, The man was already insane, and murmured, "Wonderful, it's really wonderful, it's like bringing the nobility and pride of plum blossoms to life. Such a poem is actually written by a woman, and it was improvised in a short period of time, which really surprises me." Waiting for shame, none other than the leader"

A person next to him shook his head and said, "No, no, the poem is a wonderful poem, but I admire the artistic conception of the other poem more. The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring. It's already a cliff with hundreds of feet of ice, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches. It's pretty. Don't fight for spring, just announce the arrival of spring. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs in the bushes..."

The man sighed in admiration: "A woman with such a broad mind is a veritable leader."

When he said this, the other person began to hesitate, looking back and forth, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, they are all good poems, it is really hard to choose, I just vote for a plum blossom each."

The person next to him smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you voted for two plum blossoms. Wouldn't you be hungry when you turn around?"

At the poetry meeting, a plum represents a hundred taels of silver, so they will be cautious when throwing.

The man laughed and said, "Don't make fun of me, a poor scholar. It's worth it even if you're hungry."

Another person laughed and said, "Brother Wang is a poor scholar, so what am I?"

He said and waved to the maid: "Vote these two plums for the sixth and No.15 poems."

Those who can participate in the poetry meeting, even if they are students without fame, come from rich or noble backgrounds, the two of them are just joking.

They both ordered the maids to cast plums, and seeing the other friend remained silent, they pushed him and said, "Brother Tao, why didn't you react at all? Are you already crazy after seeing such a good poem? "

The man called "Brother Tao" has bright eyes and a bookish look. He is Tao Yueran, the natal nephew of Duke Wei's wife Tao.

Tao Yueran looked strange, and opened his mouth: "I—"

"What about me, don't be in a daze, everyone has started to act without looking at them. Look, Duke Wei actually voted ten plums for each of the two poems!"

Tao Yueran looked up, and sure enough, he saw a maid holding a large bunch of plum blossoms and handing them to the maid standing at the sixth and No. 15 screens. Each of the 15 poems voted for ten plums—"

Tao Yueran couldn't help but glanced at Han Zhi, and saw that he was smiling with a happy expression, obviously very satisfied with the two poems.

Tao Yueran's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the cousin wrote those two poems?

The identity of the cousin's sister-in-law is well known to most of the central capital. He is Tao Shi's nephew, so of course he also knows the inside story.

Cousin, she...had the title of the most talented woman in the capital before.

Tao Yueran's expression was unpredictable, and he pursed his lips tightly.

"Brother Tao, Brother Tao, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Yueran came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay."

"Then you still don't vote for Mei? Are you voting for the sixth or No.15? I know, you must be hesitant, right?"

"Let me take a look again." Tao Yueran smiled wryly.

If, if he hadn't seen that book in Hui City...

These two poems are clearly from that book!

Tao Yueran was at a loss for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on.

It only took two quarters of an hour. Dozens of poems stand out from each other. There are only a few plum blossoms in the maid trays in front of most screens, but the maid trays standing beside the sixth screen and No.15 screen have long been unable to fit. , changed to a flower basket.

After the counting, a rare scene occurred. The number of plum blossoms obtained for the sixth poem and the No.15 poem were actually the same, each with [-] branches.

"This--"

Someone suggested: "Since it is difficult to distinguish Xuan Zhi, let's choose two leaders."

Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, these two poems are both worthy of the top spot, why bother to separate them out, let us see which talented woman is the serious one."

"Go and take a look at the red silk." King Nan'an, the highest among those present, said calmly.

So the maid stepped forward, brushed her bare hands over, and uncovered the red silk.

The inscriptions at the lower left corners of the two screens made the audience silent: Inscription by the Meng family of the Duke of Wei.

Everyone held their breath, rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and then looked at Han Zhi, the son of Duke Wei.

The two astonishing poems were actually written by the wife of Duke Wei?
What an astonishing talent this is, it's a pity that through the screen and curtain, we can't get a glimpse of that wonderful woman's demeanor!
Feeling the envious eyes from all around, Han Zhi tried his best to put on a calm look, but his heart had already flown to the other side of the curtain.

He knew that these two poems must have been written by cousin Yao.Looking at the women in the capital, besides Cousin Yao, who else can write such a poem?

As soon as the leader came out, the Duke of Wei's heir immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. There was an endless stream of compliments and compliments. The atmosphere between cups and cups was at its climax, but two or three of them frowned, and their eyes kept falling on the white silk screen. , seems out of place.

"Has it been judged?" The female guests waited eagerly.

The male guest had a lively atmosphere, and the movement had already spread to the other end of the tent.

The female gentleman who went to the male guest's place to wait for the result was all smiles: "The leader has been judged, and the two poems both won the leader, but they were written by one person."

"There is such a thing?" The girls were surprised.

The two screens had been turned around, and the two poems appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
