Kowloon wins

Chapter 597 On the water side ([-])

The case in Tianlao is over, but Hongqing still can't be free, probably because there are too many affairs in the Ministry of Industry, especially in the beginning of spring, all kinds of reports such as planning and budget are swarming like a snowflake. It turns out that Ma Qi's name-name Shangshu has never been a director, and Hongli, who has the title of assistant, seldom goes to the Ministry of Industry to do business, and Hongqing is the only one who suffers, and he is so busy every day. No, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and Hong Qing is still so busy that the sky is almost dark, and she just returned to her house, and just entered the door, a gust of fragrant wind blows by, and the beauties, one big and one small, are already jumping for joy Needless to say, the older one is Ihana Gege, and the younger one is Hongqing's youngest direct sister, Jilan, who is only nine years old and is at her most naughty time. He rushed directly into Hong Qing's arms, hugged Hong Qing's thigh, and climbed up without any politeness.

"Hey, little Jilan is here, big brother hugs!"

Hongqing's favorite in the past was this youngest sister-in-law. Seeing that she was about to climb up, she couldn't help being amused, and stretched out her hands with a smile. Just mentioning it, little Jilan was taken away. Picking it up, he lovingly scraped the little guy's nose with his hands, and joked with a smile: "Our little Jilan is getting bigger and more beautiful, and I don't know how many people he will fascinate in the future."

"I hate it, don't scratch it, it will be flat."

Being ridiculed by Hong Qing like this, the little guy was not happy, his little body twisted like a twist, stretched out his hands to protect the tip of his nose, frowned, rolled his eyes unhappily, and protested tenderly.

"Hahaha……"

Teased by the little guy's cute appearance, Hong Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the tiredness of days of hard work was also swept away.

"Brother, my sister said that there is a literary conference in Zhang Tingyu's house today. Brother, you can take my younger sister to have a look, will it work?"

After all, little Jilan is a child at heart, even though she was very displeased with Hong Qing's "hands and feet", but if she rolled her eyes, it was considered over, but she didn't care about so much, and stared at Hong Qing with big eyes , made the request coquettishly.

"Oh, that's it, then let your sister take you there?"

After hearing what Xiao Jilan said, Hongqing knew that this idea must have been conceived by Ihana, not for any literary meeting, but to meet her lover, so she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but what? , but didn't show it, just glanced at the embarrassed Ihana, but replied lightly.

"That can't be done, Erniang said, if the elder brother doesn't go, the younger sister can't go anywhere, elder brother, please, just take the younger sister to see, she is nine years old, and hasn't participated in the literature fair yet. "

As soon as Hong Qing's words came out, the little guy seemed to be unhappy, twisted a few times in Hong Qing's arms, blinked his big eyes, and begged for permission in a pitiful manner.

Well, my mother is really, isn't this asking us to be a babysitter and a big light bulb?Sick!

Hongqing is such a shrewd person, just by hearing it, she can understand the reason why the two girls came to greet her today. I dare say that Ihana wanted to go to the Wenhui, but she couldn't get it after asking her old lady. Encouraging little Jilan to mess around, the unhappiness in her heart inevitably deepened, nothing else, Hong Qing never liked to play tricks on the literary society, and had no interest in those things that moaned without illness. Except for being caught by the third master a few times when I was a child, I have never participated in such gatherings of young poets in the capital, especially the role I have to play this time is really unbearable, and I feel 12 points in my heart I don't want to accept it.

"Brother, if you don't go, my younger sister will ignore you. Brother, go, go, younger sister, I beg you."

Seeing that Hong Qing didn't speak for a long time, Ji Lan's small mouth turned up, and her small body arched wildly in Hong Qing's arms a few times, tossing coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, big brother is fine, but I have to let big brother change into clothes?"

It's all right, the little guy has already talked to such a point, even if Hong Qing is not happy, it's not easy to take the little guy's mind, so he has no choice but to answer with a wry smile.

"Brother is the best, hurry up and change clothes."

Hearing that Hongqing agreed, little Jilan became excited, grabbed the patch on Hongqing's official robe, and tugged endlessly...

Chenghuai Garden, located in the western suburbs of the capital, is only one mile away from Changchun Garden. It was the other courtyard of Zhang Tingyu, a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, but it was not used often. Spring Garden, Zhang Tingyu will follow here to stay here, and now, it's spring, the old man is still in the palace, Chenghuai Garden has been idle since the winter, and it has never been used, and the front door is deserted. It is normal, but Chenghuai Garden is full of turmoil today, not for anything else, but because Zhang Ruocheng, the second son of Zhang Tingyu, who is known as one of the four great talents in the capital, will hold a literary meeting in this garden, inviting everyone Young talents from the literary world came to attend the meeting, and the invitations were distributed, which can be said to be a gathering of responders. No, there is still more than half an hour before the official start of the literary meeting, and there are already a lot of horse-drawn carriages from various prefectures rushing to the meeting It rushed to the gate of the garden like a stream of water.

The Zhang family's two generations of ministers, the prosperity of the holy family, can only be compared with the Tong family known as Tong Banchao. With Tong Guowei's retirement, the Tong family has gradually declined, and the Zhang family is just the opposite. During the rising period, not to mention that Zhang Tingyu is being highly valued, his three sons are all beginning to emerge, especially the second son Zhang Ruocheng with outstanding literary talent, and Wen Da's grandson Cheng Tan, Hanlin Academy scholar Yin Tai's second son Yin Jishan, Therefore, Chen Zichun, the grandson of the scholar Chen Tingjing, is one of the four great talents of the Beijing Normal University. They are all popular candidates for the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty.

This kid Zhang Ruocheng is really capable of tossing around!

This is the first time for Hong Qing to participate in a cultural meeting. After changing into casual clothes and rushing to the field with her two younger sisters, they saw the bustling traffic at the gate of the garden. Both Zhang Tingyu and his son, Hong Qing, have worked together, and they have always admired the cautious style of the father and son, but the third generation of this family is very high-profile, and the reputation has long been obvious. Making such a big commotion is really quite different from the Zhang family's usual low-key style. Whether it is good or bad is really hard to say.

"Brother, you should hurry up, this is about to begin!"

The group of people arrived a bit late, and Hong Qing stood still feeling like this, and little Jilan became anxious. She stomped her feet resentfully, stretched out her hand and pulled Hong Qing's arm, and hushed her face angrily. They were all blushing from the suffocation.

"Okay, okay, let's go now, but we have agreed, we are not allowed to call big brother when we get to the place, or big brother will come back immediately."

Hong Qing's participation in the literary conference was a helpless act of being arrested, and he was even more unwilling to be the focus person. Besides, in his eyes, if he participated in the conference with his true colors, he would not know how many people there would be. When people circled around him, he would be bored to death, so he had to come here in disguise. Fortunately, although Hongqing has been high-profile in her work these years, she has been very low-key in her life. Except for the courtiers, most of the people in the capital heard of him It's hard to know the person by his name, so it's not difficult to get a false identity casually, the only thing I'm afraid of is that my little sister has slipped up, so I have to be tight and say a few more words.

"Understood, big, oh, cousin, little sister has remembered, you still have to finish, hurry up!"

As for the literature meeting, the third master’s house often holds it. However, the third master’s rules are very strict. Sons are allowed to participate and observe, but daughters are strictly forbidden to observe. Little Jilan has never participated in it, so I wanted to see it for a long time. How did Wen Hui look like? How could he be impatient with Hong Qing's mother-in-law, who kept urging her endlessly. When the urgency appeared, Hong Qing had no choice but to smile wryly, but Ihana, who was worried, did the same. Was amused to smile endlessly.

"Okay, let's go, let's go."

Seeing that the little princess lost her temper, Hong Qing didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, she raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, and led the two younger sisters to the gate of the garden. Announced the arrival of sisters Ihana and Hongqing, the Xibei cousin.

"Xiaosheng Zhang Ruocheng has met Ihana Gege and Jilan Gege."

The Ihana sisters are of noble status, once they arrived, the steward at the gate of the garden did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent someone to report inside, and soon saw a white-robed scholar walking quickly from the garden Li walked out and bowed to the Ihana sisters standing under the lantern.

"Young Master Lianxue (Zhang Ruocheng's name) is being polite. The two sisters from the slave family came to disturb you. They arrived a bit late. Please ask for more Haihan."

Manchu women never pay attention to the bad habit of incompatibility between men and women. As Gege, Yihana has been in and out of cultural gatherings these years, and she is very familiar with Zhang Ruocheng, and she is very calm when dealing with it.

"Don't dare, the two of you are able to come, it's really Xiaosheng's luck, um, I don't know if this young master is..."

Zhang Ruocheng said modestly that he didn't dare, then turned his gaze to Hong Qing, and asked half of the question after probing.

"He's my cousin!"

Seeing that Zhang Ruocheng only greeted his sister, but completely ignored his own existence, even though little Jilan was not happy, before Ihana could speak, she yelled impatiently.

"Xia Linglan is the distant nephew of Prince Cheng Fujin, who just came from Shengjing, disturbing me."

Hong Qing was very shrewd, just by looking at it, she could tell that Zhang Ruocheng had doubts about her identity, but Hao Qing didn't care at all, and gave a false name without blushing.

"Oh, so it's Mr. Ling, please among the three of you."

Although Zhang Ruocheng is the son of Zaifu, in terms of status, he is still just a juror, but he is not qualified to deal with such noble people as Hong Qing. He has never met Hong Qing himself, so he is especially suspicious at this time. , but did not continue to ask endlessly, but politely waved his hand sideways, and welcomed Hong Qing and others into the garden...
