Chapter 9
Changsun Jingrong held Bai Qinghua's arm and said with a smile: "It's better to have a good mother."

He patted his eldest grandson Jingrong's hand in relief, Bai Qinghua sighed, and said: "Although today's trip is glorious, it is also full of danger. Mother is not by your side, and you have to face and solve everything by yourself , you must be careful in everything."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows it well." Changsun Jingrong said reassuringly, "My daughter will protect herself!"

Bai Qinghua nodded, but hesitated to speak.

Of course the eldest grandson Jingrong knew what his mother was worried about, so he said, "Mother is worried about Wanyue and her cousin. Mother, don't worry too much. The daughter and maidservant set out in a carriage sent by the Women's Poetry Society. Wanyue and cousin have another carriage." Send it off, and then it will be sent directly to Lin Ya Xiaozhu, and it will not disturb me at all."

"But these days Aunt Jiao and Wan Yue are always secretive. I'm worried that they're plotting something that will be bad for you."

"Hmph, with their means, what big things can they conspire to accomplish?" The eldest grandson Jingrong smiled mockingly, and then said, "Mother, my daughter is no longer the eldest grandson Jingrong who was slaughtered by others in the past. I know how to choose." Mother, don't worry."

Looking at the eldest grandson Jingrong, Bai Qinghua suddenly felt flustered, as if the daughter she was once familiar with had drifted away, and it was her own weakness and incompetence that made her daughter become the strong one she is today.Is this good or bad?

Watching his eldest grandson Jingrong go out, Bai Qinghua sighed deeply.

As soon as he stepped out of Changsun's mansion, Changsun Jingrong saw a familiar figure standing at the corner of the street, and the corner of his mouth raised, as if he had expected such an ending.

He recruited a young servant beside him, whispered a few words, and asked Bi He to hand over a package, and the eldest grandson Jingrong boarded the carriage and drove away.

Liu Shuyun, who had been peeking at her grandson Jingrong, slowly clenched her fists, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was holding back something.When she saw a man who looked like a servant running towards her, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her face was distorted due to excitement.

"Miss Liu, my lady ordered me to give this to you. At the same time, the lady also arranged for a carriage. Miss, please."

After receiving the package handed over by the servant, Liu Shuyun seemed to be holding all the hopes, and there were bits and pieces of desire in his lowered eyes, which eventually formed into a continuous piece without noticing it.

……

The Women's Poetry Club is located in a magnificent manor in the capital. Although it is located in a busy city, it is quiet in the middle of the bustle.

The home court of the Women's Poetry Club is a place where talented women compete with each other.Around the square, there are four towers and elegant pavilions, standing by the water, where you can not only overlook the beautiful scenery, but also enjoy the scene of the competition. Naturally, it is set up for various dignitaries.There is a winding path on the side of the main court, leading to various gardens. Usually, after the competition, the talented women will go to the gardens to hang out in twos and threes. The nobles who have liked girls before will remember the gardens where the girls went to, and have a game. A wonderful "encounter" like a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman.

At this moment, twenty talented women were ushered into the arena by the aunts from the Women's Poetry Club, and sat in rows according to their titles.In front of everyone, there is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a long-necked vase, as well as tea and snacks.

There is the music of silk and bamboo in the distance, accompanied by the fragrance of tea and flowers, it is also a kind of enjoyment.

It was also the first time for Changsun Jingrong to attend the Women's Poetry Club. It was only when she was in it that she realized that the builder is really a wonderful person. Every stone and every tree are perfectly integrated. Poetry can be seen everywhere, and the plainness is refined. , dizzying.If it weren't for the women who were eager to fight around her, and the men waiting on the balcony, watching eagerly, she really wanted to take a closer look.

Looking down at the Four Treasures of the Study in front of him, Changsun Jingrong knew that they were all of the highest grade. The inkstone alone could be sold for a gold one in the market. It can be seen that while being elegant, it also reveals an expensive side. .

Just as the eldest grandson Jingrong was immersed in the beautiful scenery, a girl next to her was covering her heart, her face was flushed, and she murmured: "No, my heart is beating so fast! I feel that the Ninth Prince is heading in my direction Look!!"

"The Ninth Prince is here!?"

This name seems to resonate with the girls. Although it is not easy to look up blatantly, it can't stop their excited and restless hearts. They pretended to be familiar with each other, and took advantage of the gaps in the conversation with charming smiles to sneak a glance.

"Oh my god, it's really the Ninth Prince. I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be attracted to this year's Women's Poetry Society. It's really a worthwhile trip!"

"Not only the Ninth Prince, I also saw Mr. Zilin just now!!"

"Mr. Zilin is here too!?"

Now the women are even more happy, as if seeing these two characters, this life has already been completed.

Ninth Prince Sima Xukong and eldest grandson Jingrong have heard of it, but she is not very interested in this person.What is there to pay attention to for a short-lived philandering prince?Even if the appearance is outstanding, it is just a short-flowering one.It was Mr. Zi Lin who touched the heart of the eldest grandson Jingrong.

This Mr. Zi Lin is truly a legendary man.He was able to write poems at the age of three, martial arts at the age of five, and at the age of 11, he was able to argue with the world's five great court masters, and his reputation spread far and wide. "Guoan Daoping Theory" written at the age of 15 has been listed as a classic by scholars all over the world.It is said that the current emperor wanted to win over Mr. Zi Lin to serve the court, but Mr. Zi Lin had no choice but to be indifferent by nature and accustomed to traveling around the world, so he politely rejected Emperor Long Rui.

However, in Changsun Jingrong's view, what really makes Mr. Zilin stand out is his unique ability to escape armor.According to the normal trajectory of development, the nine frontier cities will rebel against the country in four years, and Mr. Zilin can defend the enemy for thousands of miles by using thaumaturgy alone, save the country from danger, and keep the people safe.

For such a man, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but be curious, and really wanted to see what this man, who became refined, could make all scholars in the world ashamed, became ruthless, and frightened the enemy, really looked like.

"It's boring in here, isn't it?"

At the moment when Changsun Jingrong was thinking secretly, she heard a small voice beside her, and she couldn't help but look sideways, and saw a girl like a jade bracelet carved in powder, who happened to be smiling at herself, with a kind smile on her face .

Seeing Changsun Jingrong looking at her, Zhao Herong leaned forward again, and said with a smile, "Maybe you don't know me, but I know you. You are Changsun Jingrong, right?"

After thinking about it carefully, the eldest grandson Jingrong still had no impression of this white rabbit-like girl, so he said apologetically, "Excuse me, who is the girl?"

"I'm……"

"Misses, please be quiet. Aunt Su will be here later, and the competition will officially begin. I hope all the girls can perform well and win the house!"

At this time, a woman in a green dress stood in the center of the field, her voice was clear and steady, she looked at everyone with clear eyes, and said so.

The Aunt Su mentioned by the woman is the female official in charge of etiquette in the palace. She once served the Empress Dowager and is quite dignified.It is well deserved to be able to host this year's women's poetry club competition.

As soon as Aunt Su's name was heard, all the girls calmed down one after another, and sat upright with a dignified face, without any emotion of restlessness and excitement just now.

Looking slowly over the faces of the girls, Changsun Jingrong silently recalled the past in his heart, thinking constantly.

This women's poetry club competition is more of a talent show than a talent competition.The twenty women drew lots in turn. First, they showed their strengths according to the order of the lottery. After the nobles commented, they threw the roses in their hands into the long-necked vase.The three ladies with the most flowers will each get a question card, and the questions set on it are decided by votes of the nobles.The three young ladies can only compete according to the test cards, and in the end, Aunt Su will choose the best one based on the comprehensive evaluation of virtue, character, and talent.Although there were no substantial rewards at the end of the competition, the top three selected in previous years all married important officials of the imperial court, and one of them once entered the palace and became a Jieyu.Therefore, for the sake of their own future and the glory of the family, the girls have worked hard.

As for the remaining seventeen girls, they will not return empty-handed.Marriage is beneficial to both parties, but if you have the opportunity to meet your future wife and understand her character before getting married, who would refuse such a thing?What's more, with so many beautiful women, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to find someone more suitable?It's just that in this way, the situation of the remaining, unattended girls will be more ugly.

Therefore, being able to enter the Women's Poetry Club does not mean that everything will be fine, and if it is not done well, it will be ridiculous.

According to Changsun Jingrong's recollection, among the nineteen girls who have the strength to win the top three, they are Lu Shishi, the daughter of Chief Qian of the Guard Office; Wang Zishan, the daughter of the Counselor of Tongguang Division;These three women are all beautiful in appearance, elegant in temperament, knowledgeable in character and knowledge, among the five people who were unmoved during the commotion just now, these three women are among them.The eldest grandson Jingrong didn't want to change anything, so she wouldn't use her ingenuity to snatch the top three seats, and she didn't want to be favored by any noble person and spoil her plan.The eldest grandson Jingrong wanted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to make friends with a few daughters and pave the way for his future.She knows the temperament and preferences of everyone here, and also knows what their future prospects are. If they don't make use of them, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
But there was an accident in it, and that was the girl beside him.

Looking sideways at Zhao Herong, Changsun Jingrong frowned slightly.

Noticing that Sima Xukong's eyes had been following a beautiful back, Li Yichen, the son of the Taicheng, couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know who said it, I'm not interested in Yingying and Yanyan here, I didn't expect to find the right one as soon as I sat down." Yes? The Ninth Prince is really quick!"

Lazily withdrawing his gaze, Sima Xukong smiled and drank the wine in the glass on his back, but smiled without saying a word.
