Chapter 425 Debunking
"Beside the broken bridge outside the station, loneliness is open to no one..."

"The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring..."

At first, everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the two poems, and they recited them to themselves. After pondering them for a long time, they finally woke up and went to see who signed them.

"Meng Shi's question from Duke Wei's Mansion." Everyone suddenly looked at Cheng Yao, who was sitting upright and silent, and the eyes of the woman who was addicted to poetry became wild.

"I also said that the title of the most talented woman in the capital was an exaggeration, but it turned out that I was narrow-minded." Zhang Shoufu's young girl murmured.

The friend next to her followed and said: "Isn't that right? When she was in the boudoir, because she was different from our circle and she was a concubine, I didn't pay much attention to her. You know she is so talented, so she had to be handed over as a handkerchief at that time." Ah. Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"

The aristocratic women in Beijing are divided into several circles, one group is for the daughters of the imperial relatives, one is for the daughters of honorable nobles, another is for the daughters of Qingliu aristocratic families, and there is another group for the daughters of generals.

All kinds of banquets and entertainments, although these circles overlap, but most of the time they are clearly separated, and the little girls communicate in private, and they hardly jump out of their own small circles.

The boudoir girls were annoyed by the shock of the two poems, and wished they could meet the poets sooner, while the wives surrounded Tao Shi, the wife of the Duke of Wei, and praised her repeatedly.

"I'm just saying that it's not that the whole family doesn't enter the family. Mrs. Tao, your daughter-in-law is well chosen. In the future, when both your grandmother and mother are so talented, you won't be able to cultivate a champion."

Dow pursed his lips and smiled reservedly: "Ms. Li is over the award. Poetry and songs are good for cultivating sentiment, but it is different for scientific examinations. But she can get the position of leader today, and she will be a hero for the soldiers of the Northland." I am very relieved for my strength.”

"That's not the case. Mrs. Shizi is not only amazingly talented, but also has a good heart. Isn't this poem meeting proposed by Mrs. Shizi?"

Not to be outdone, another lady praised: "In the past we also held poetry fairs, but it was just for fun, but Mrs. Shizi was able to connect the poetry fair with the soldiers of the North and solve their urgent needs. Tsk tsk, can you come up with something like this? Ideas, it can be seen that Mrs. Shizi is Linglong's heart. Mrs. Tao, you don't have to be modest."

Tao's complexion was ruddy, and he couldn't hide his joy, but he tried his best to put on a calm look: "How can she be modest, she is still young, don't you all praise her to the sky."

Seeing Tao Shi surrounded by people, Mrs. Xu secretly twisted her daughter Xu Jiafu, who was staring at the screen with wide eyes, and said in a low voice: "You girl, don't act like a ghost. Let you do it more often. Read some poems, but you just don’t listen to them! Such a big girl dances with guns and clubs all day long, she doesn’t know how to learn, how is she doing now, isn’t she timid? No matter how good those two poems are, they won’t make your eyeballs stick to you. People saw the joke!"

Mrs. Xu became more angry as she talked, and pinched Xu Jiafu more forcefully.

Xu Jiafu cried out in pain.

When she shouted, she immediately attracted many eyes.

Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed and gave her daughter a hard look.

A little lady chuckled, and whispered to her friend: "This is that Miss Xu, she is almost twenty, and she is still in her boudoir. It is said that she is good at climbing trees and fighting. As for literary talent——"

Who is Xu Jiafu?She has practiced martial arts with her father and brother since she was a child, and her hearing is much better than that of ordinary girls. She heard these words clearly, and immediately stood up.

Mrs. Xu was taken aback, and went to ask her daughter: "Jiafu, what are you doing?"

God, her daughter is going to be messed up again, but because she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she is stronger than her. Once she gets messed up, she can't even hold her back!
Xu Jiafu ignored Mrs. Xu's obstruction, looked around everyone, took a step forward, and said with a sneer, "Literary talent? I, Xu Jiafu, don't have much literary talent, so I dare not make a fool of myself in today's poetry meeting. Don't bother to do plagiarism!"

"Plagiarism?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and the scene fell silent instantly.

Mrs. Xu was in a hurry and pulled Xu Jiafu hard: "Jiafu, what are you talking nonsense, sit down!"

Xu Jiafu lowered his head and pursed his lips: "Mother, wait for me to finish speaking, otherwise everyone will really think I am talking nonsense."

She took a few steps forward and pointed her finger: "These two poems are really good. I, who don't know poetry, read them with fragrance, and I deserve to be named the leader. But—— "

Xu Jiafu turned his head while talking, glanced at Cheng Yao who had a condensed expression, and said with a sneer, "But this is the Meng family of Duke Wei's mansion, I don't recognize the name of a talented woman!"

Everyone was baffled and started discussing.

"Isn't Miss Xu hysterical?"

"Who knows, maybe she was scolded by her mother, and she was so angry that she was troublesome with Mrs. Wei Guogong's son? You don't know, just now my mother gave me a few glances. She thought I was not up to date, and was compared to me by two poems." mud on the ground."

Among them, there is only one pretty girl who is an unfamiliar face and does not often appear in various gatherings in the capital. She is the daughter of the Governor of Lingxi who just came to Beijing to report her duties. Her surname is Chi and her girlfriend's name is Yilian. , showing a playful smile.

Cheng Yao stood up: "Miss Xu, I don't know what you misunderstood me, let's have a good chat later, and let's talk about it. If I have offended you in the past, I will apologize to you here. "

Cheng Yao's words are tantamount to verifying everyone's guess.

It's just that she forgot that Xu Jiafu is different from ordinary girls. Facing countless suspicious and contemptuous eyes, she was completely unmoved, and said loudly, "What misunderstanding can I have about you? It's because everyone misunderstood you." right!"

"What does Miss Xu mean by that?" Cheng Yao's expression turned ugly.

Xu Jiafu simply jumped out of the crowd, walked to the side of the screen, pointed out and said: "Everyone can see clearly that these two poems are good, but they were not written by the wife of Duke Wei!"

"What!" The audience was in an uproar.

Xu Jiafu glanced at the pale-faced Cheng Yao, and said loudly: "I went to stay at a relative's house in Huicheng two months ago, and I accidentally got a book. It memorized some wonderful poems that the author accidentally found from an ancient book. There are no fewer than a hundred poems in total. Among them are these two poems. Dare to ask Mrs. Shizi, if you wrote this poem, why did it appear in a miscellaneous book?"

"Miscellaneous books? What miscellaneous books?" Cheng Yao looked helpless, like an ignorant child, "Miss Xu, I used to write some poems when I was in my boudoir, and I don't know if some people listened to them when they spread. -"

Xu Jiafu interrupted her with a sneer: "In this case, why did the two impromptu poems appear on the screen? This is really funny. The poems that have appeared in books that have already been sold in the market are the ones you wrote before and passed down? Then why don't you say that all the best poems in the world are written by you alone? Wait a minute, everyone, I'll send someone back home to get that book."

At this time, a delicate voice sounded: "There is no need to get the book, I just have it with me."

　Chi Yilian, the governor's daughter, appeared on the stage, and Princess Nongnong, the administrator of the book group, played a guest role.
