Chapter Seventy-Nine: Playing Spring and Meeting Old People
Yuan Lihua had an idea, and in the next few days, she and Cao Chifeng talked about poetry, but they were happy.
On this day, Yuan Lihua went up to the show building and happened to see Cao Chifeng inscribed a poem, so she stepped forward to take a look and saw that it was written.
"On the side of the weeping willow Zhulou Avenue, I am afraid to see the spring into the song feast.
What is the world on this day? The guest is new and sad like last year.
Desperate to send books is afraid of tactfulness, Guangling leaves a song and hatred.
The peach blossoms dot the branches and tears, and the drizzle is empty and the mountains cry rhododendrons. ”
Although this poem is written about the spring scene, it is full of sorrow, but it is different from the ordinary sad spring poems.
Yuan Lihua played with this neck couplet, Cao Chifeng seems to have a crush, and this crush is still a bosom friend.
"The little woman made it so easy that the lady smiled."
Yuan Lihua said to Cao Chifeng: "Staying in the show building every day, there are also some embarrassments for you." Now that the spring is good, why don't I find a maid to accompany you out for a walk. ”
Cao Chifeng excused himself and said that it was not good, Yuan Lihua said that the national dynasty was not like the previous dynasty, and it adhered to the general defense of men and women, if Cao Chifeng was worried, he could wear men's clothes.
Cao Chifeng was indeed a little tired, so Yuan Lihua found a disciple of Bishan and asked her to protect Cao Chifeng.
It's spring now, the sun is shining, the grass is green, and there are a lot of people playing outside the city.
Cao Chifeng felt a little relieved when he saw such a beautiful scenery.
Not long after swimming, Cao Chifeng arrived at a pond, someone laid a feast next to the pond, and a group of scholars sat on the mat, drinking and writing poems.
Cao Chifeng thought that there was Lin Duowen at this meeting, so he wanted to avoid it, and at this time, a servant came forward and invited Cao Chifeng, saying that his young master saw that Cao Chifeng was extraordinary, so he invited Cao Chifeng to participate in this meeting.
Cao Chifeng said that he didn't dare to disturb, and at this time, a scholar stepped forward, saluted respectfully and said: "This brother, Brother Tang likes to make friends with scholars the most, and please appreciate your face." ”
This enthusiasm is difficult to resist, Cao Chifeng walked forward, and immediately someone spread the Yin mat, installed the table, and put the dishes on it.
Cao Chifeng looked around, but there was no Lin Duo there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after he sat down, a servant came.
"Didn't Uncle Xin Wu come?"
"Uncle said that he wants to study now, let the little one tell the young master, this time he can only miss the meeting."
"I really didn't expect that Uncle Xin Wu would be able to read, and with his identity, what kind of official he wanted to be, wouldn't it be just to write a letter and get to the Tianguan Mansion." This master, Young Master Tang, said disapprerovingly, and then asked the servant: "What about the county lord?" ”
The servant said that the county was almost there, and Young Master Tang asked everyone to wait for a while, and when the county magistrate arrived, he was drinking.
Taking advantage of this gap, Cao Chifeng inquired, only to know that these people are all students of Haining City, and today it is the young master Tang who sees the lovely spring scene, so he held this literary meeting.
It didn't take long for Chen Shihong and Siyun to arrive, Chen Shihong didn't have much interest in these literary meetings, but this was a county student, and he still had to give some face.
Chen Shihong got off the sedan chair, Cao Chifeng was a little surprised when he saw Chen Shihong so young, thinking in his heart that he became a magistrate at such a young age, and he must be a child of a family.
Seeing that Chen Shihong was respectfully called Master Chen, Cao Chifeng thought that he was the son of Kang Guogong.
Chen Shihong sat in the guest seat, and after Young Master Tang took his seat, everyone held this cultural meeting.
Because they are all students, this time at the literary meeting, everyone talked about it more happily, and talked about more things related to current literature.
Cao Chifeng did not participate in the imperial examination because women generally did not participate in the imperial examination, so he did not learn outdated literature, although he knew a little, but he did not know how to make axes.
Chen Shihong also casually agreed, secretly looking at these students.
He felt that these students were good, and they did not live up to the virtues of the imperial court, but they were not outstanding.
When Chen Shihong was thinking, a girl came forward and poured wine to Chen Shihong, and then hoped that Chen Shihong could write a poem as a gift.
After hearing this, the sentient beings were naturally happy, hoping that Chen Shihong could write a poem, and Chen Shihong saw this situation, so he wrote a poem casually on the embroidered handkerchief sent by this girl.
Before the girl took it, she read it to everyone.
"Poor and unworldly, coquettish and pitiful.
The autumn color painting is two, and the moon marks hang a hairpin.
The white pear flower shadow, the green drag willow yin.
The love is deep and refuses to be shallow, and the desire to speak and groan. ”
Everyone shouted wonderful, praising Chen Shihong for being a talent, Chen Shihong knew that they were complimenting, and was humble.
At this time, the girl asked the musician to play a tune, sang the poem, and then took her own fan, came to Cao Chifeng, and said to Cao Chifeng: "Please also ask this minister to write a poem." ”
This girl had already seen Cao Chifeng staying in the banquet and had not been integrated into the literary meeting, so she took this opportunity to let Cao Chifeng behave.
Cao Chifeng thought about it for a while, so he wrote a poem.
"The sound of breaking the sound is long, and the sound of the palace is quietly changing.
A few words are crisp and cold, and the tongue is fragrant.
The tender willow is sent melodiously, slippery like a new warbler.
The clear sound of the mountains and rivers is newly included in the score, and the old tune of curbing the clouds is only ordinary. ”
Cao Chifeng's poem was written, the woman sang it, and in the applause of everyone, Chen Shihong couldn't help but look at Cao Chifeng, Cao Chifeng's poem is quite good, in all fairness.
Chen Shihong also focused his attention mainly on Cao Chifeng, this Young Master Tang is not a stupid person, he has been observing Chen Shihong, and after the three rounds of drinking, Young Master Tang smiled and said: "Master Chen, you are already famous in the imperial examination, at this time, there is naturally no need to discuss the text, since ancient times, after becoming an official, it has been passed down in poetry." It's a pity that we, the little friends, don't understand poetry, just this minister knows a little, if the county does not dislike it, it is better to connect the sentences. ”
Chen Shihong has this meaning, but I don't know if Cao Chifeng has this idea.
Cao Chifeng didn't care, she also wanted to try Chen Shihong's talent as a magistrate.
Because Chen Shihong was a magistrate, he looked around, and first said: "Spring Chengtian is rainy, smoke and harmony,"
Cao Chifeng responded: "Countless long strips are dragged on the ground.
A few days of green and green shades,"
Chen Shihong saw that Cao Chifeng had led the topic to the willow tree, thought about it and wrote again: "For a while, the yellow bird occupies Qiaoke.
Flying like a green cloud,"
Chen Shihong hoped that Cao Chifeng could follow his own wishes and congratulate the scholars present on the title of the gold list, but Cao Chifeng was not interested in his career, so he continued: "I heard that I was suspicious of Hongxue Song.
Zhang Cui curtain in front of the wind,"
Chen Shihong didn't expect that Cao Chifeng would respond so much, and changed the meaning of the poem to the willow tree. I thought that this person was a good learner, but he didn't have much ambition in his chest, so Chen Shihong continued to write, Cao Chifeng continued to couple, this couplet was thirty couplets, Cao Chifeng's thinking was undiminished, Chen Shihong saw that the couplet was too long, and told Cao Chifeng that it was enough to have fun, so Cao Chifeng closed the sentence: "Respect the former Kimporo." ”
After speaking, the two toasted each other with a glass of wine, Chen Shihong didn't expect that there was such a talent in Haining City, and Cao Chifeng didn't expect that this Chen Zhixian would have such talent.
She originally thought that Chen Shihong was a county magistrate by virtue of her family background, but she didn't expect that it was a real talent, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart.
At this time, Chen Shihong asked Cao Chifeng's name and surname, Cao Chifeng panicked for a while, and told Chen Shihong that his name was Li Changji, and he had not been crowned or taken a word.
Chen Shihong listened to this surname and looked at Cao Chifeng carefully, Cao Chifeng was embarrassed by Chen Shihong, so he asked: "Mingfu, could it be that Xiaosheng's surname is offensive." ”
"No, no, it's just that I have a little friend who also has this name. Coincidentally, I didn't expect the two to have the same name, and they are both rare talents in the world. ”
After Cao Chifeng heard this, he was excited for a while, and said to Chen Shihong: "Mingfu, could it be that this friend of yours is from Fengcheng. ”
Chen Shihong nodded, curious about how Cao Chifeng knew.
Cao Chifeng couldn't explain for a while, so he had to say that he had seen it in Hailan City, so he told him about Li Changji.
After Chen Shihong heard this, he thought to himself, isn't this himself? And I only told Cao Xixiong about it.
He looked at Cao Chifeng, suddenly realized, and said to Cao Chifeng: "Brother Li, is my friend reconciled with you?" ”
After Cao Chifeng heard this, he thought that his identity was known to Chen Shihong, and his face flushed, saying that it was indeed the case.
Chen Shihong didn't expect fate to come so coincidentally, so he said to everyone: "Don't hide it, my friend is still in the county government, and now this reunion with the same name and surname is also a strange thing, Li Xianggong, can you go to the yamen with this county." ”
Cao Chifeng was a little hesitant, but finally nodded.
Chen Shihong and the people around him apologized, and these students did not stay longer, and sent the two away.
Chen Shihong let Cao Chifeng enter the sedan chair, borrowed Young Master Tang's horse, and went all the way to the garden of the county government.
When the disciples of Bishan were about to follow up, Siyun smiled and said, "My father-in-law is a righteous man and a gentleman, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
The disciples of Bishan couldn't either, so they had to watch from the outside.
Chen Shihong bowed to Cao Chifeng on the pavilion and said, "Miss Cao, I didn't expect to have the honor to meet you today. ”
"Ming Mansion, this, what's going on?" Cao Chifeng came because he could see Li Sheng, and he didn't expect Chen Shihong to salute him.
"Xiaosheng is Li Sheng, I can't hide it."
Chen Shihong said the truth of the matter, and finally saw Cao Chifeng's suspicious look, and personally wrote his own poem, Cao Chifeng saw that the handwriting was really the same, his heart was bitter, and he said to Chen Shihong: "Chen Xianggong, why are you suffering?" With your identity, even if my brother has a lot of conflict with you, he doesn't dare to treat you lightly. ”
"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is not afraid that Brother Ling will treat me lightly, but he is afraid of girls, thinking that Xiaosheng holds his own identity."
Chen Shihong was excited and expressed his intentions.
