Chapter 104: Is it a blind date or a poetry event?

In the affairs of the family and the country, the men are in charge of the latter two, and the former is the same, but there is not much room for interference. At this moment, although Meng Jun said that he was very indifferent to the poetry of his sisters, he could only reply to Zhang Yue's request for help. Not only that, but he also left a nonsense sentence very unrighteously.

"In the autumn of this year, I will enter the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and I have to practice my hands first, so I made an appointment in the afternoon with the two little marquis of the Wu'an Hou Mansion and the Yongkang Hou Mansion to go to the school, and this poetry meeting will not be able to accompany the third brother to you. With your eldest sister here, it won't make people eat you. ”

He stood up as he spoke, flashed out of the room while Zhang Yue was thunderous, and turned his head with the curtain before going out, squeezing his eyes with a smile: "But don't worry, the daughters of our Baoding Hou Mansion are extremely good tutors, and there will never be that kind of self-righteousness." Not only that, but your eldest sister also invited several famous ladies to the next post for your business, which is a good thing that others can't think of, if Xiaofang and Xiaosun know it, they will envy you to death. Third brother, you can do it yourself. ”

Seeing Meng Jun's good fortune, Zhang Yue only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. Seeing the eldest sister Zhang Qing sitting there calmly, as if he hadn't heard Meng Jun's ridicule when he was about to go, he couldn't help but be even more depressed, and immediately said with a blank eye: "Eldest sister, I suddenly remembered that I was going to visit Mr. Du this afternoon, you see ......"

Zhang Qing raised her eyelids at this time, and said with a smile: "There is something I haven't had time to tell you, I met Miss Du Jia in Qixia Temple first, and I became familiar with it after coming and going. Today, a fourth sister is going to start a poetry meeting, and I have already sent someone to invite her to the next post. I heard that Mr. Du is not at home today, you just respect the teacher, and you can't go to the air, right? Besides, there are also the daughters of the Baoding Marquis's family friends, and they are also for your eldest brother-in-law's younger brothers to take a look. This poetry club is not just for you. ”

Du Juan? She's coming too? Thinking of the previous experience, Zhang Yuehou's words were almost ignored, and he really felt a headache, and almost took out the famous saying that men and women don't kiss. However, Zhang Qing was like a roundworm in his stomach, and his fluttering words choked his reasons back to his throat.

"It's your birthday in half a month, and after the age of fifteen, you'll be a real adult, and I won't agree if you want to mingle with your sisters when the time comes. While you're still young. You should take a good look at it yourself, lest the third uncle will set a marriage for you after entering Beijing, and come to a blind marriage and dumb marriage, and you will be the one who will suffer at that time. Today's four sisters have a poetry club, all of them are brothers and sisters who are less than fifteen years old, and they don't live together on weekdays. ”

There is such a reason. Zhang Yue naturally had no room for opposition, so he had to nod as if resigned to his fate. With such a thing on his mind, he didn't eat his lunch well, but Autumn Scar and Amber looked strange and hurriedly asked. When I learned that the afternoon was a poetry meeting, I liked to join in the excitement of the autumn marks and was overjoyed. Deadlift on the amber and say they want to go together. Zhang Yue was originally worried that he would be bored in the afternoon, and he had nothing to do with the two close girls, so he agreed without much thought.

In the blink of an eye, it was late afternoon. Zhang Qing sent someone to call Zhang Yue, and saw that Autumn Trace Amber was also following behind. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything. The sisters and brothers talked all the way, and Zhang Qing had to take out a few of the ladies of the family who were more attentive to her on weekdays, but almost none of these people were the eldest daughters.

"Unlike our Zhang family, these heroes all started with the current emperor, and they had all backgrounds earlier, but now that they are rich, the eldest daughter of the family is either prepared by the little princes to choose concubines. Or keep marrying other relatives. Besides, most of the daughters are proud, and it is difficult to be a good daughter-in-law, and it will be even worse if they don't obey the control of the third aunt at that time. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qing remembered that she was the eldest daughter in the family and the hero of the marriage, but this daughter-in-law was quite satisfied, so she couldn't help laughing, and immediately diverted the conversation and ordered some other things. Zhang Yue listened to them one by one. Autumn Scars and Amber finally realized that this poetry meeting is anything but unusual. After glancing at each other, one lost his initial interest. One was a little more uneasy.

This afternoon's Qinfangyuan is not the same as that in the morning. The gatekeeper was still the two mothers-in-law, but they were all dressed in new clothes. When I entered the garden, the boulevard was so clean that even if a leaf fell, a servant woman would rush up to pick it up. Zhang Yue was just boating in the morning, but he had never walked into the depths, but when he crossed the bamboo bridge, surrounded by verdant trees, he saw that the delicate bamboo pavilion was already a lively scene, and his eyelids jumped.

"Sister-in-law is here!"

"Sister-in-law, I'm just waiting for you and Brother Yue!"

"Sister-in-law, is this Brother Yue?"

Zhang Yue saw several young and jade-looking girls stand up and greet Zhang Qing, and many of them glanced at him, so he had to meet Zhang Qing one by one, and immediately looked over the crowd to the depths of the pavilion. At a glance, he saw Du Juan sitting on the side of the water looking at the red carp in the water, and beside her, Xiao Wu, dressed in women's clothes, was staring at him, and her slightly angry appearance was very interesting.

As Zhang Qing said, this poetry meeting is not a blind date meeting for him alone, fourteen-year-old Meng Fan and Meng Tao are also there, in addition to a number of female guests who brought their little brothers at home, it can be said to be a grand party of young boys and girls.

Among the dozen or so people, Zhang Qing is the oldest, and most of the others are thirteen or fourteen, there are a lot of places in the same month, and more in the same year, and they are sisters and brothers screaming at each other. Zhang Yue was introduced by Meng Fan and Meng Tao to a few young guys, but he thought that Zhang Chao should be more suitable for this kind of occasion than him - his eldest brother, who was about to be eighteen years old, should have been married, but now he went to Jinxiangwei to fight against the Japanese, which is really different in his life.

If it is said that the last time the eldest brother-in-law Meng Jun was born, he met a bunch of little marquis and little uncles, then this time Zhang Yue recognized a lot of all kinds of daughters, but the women's maiden names have never been easy to show, so he easily has a lot of younger sisters, but at most he knows the surnames of others, and the only one who knows the name is Du Juan. Next to her, however, sat two young girls of the same age, who were happily feeding koi there. But they didn't look at him.

said that it was a poetry meeting, and Yongdi was a spring flower, but there were many people here who couldn't make poems, so they were naturally assigned to work. Some are responsible for copying, some are responsible for timing, some are responsible for those pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other colored heads, and more are pointing and laughing to watch the excitement. A group of people has a limited level, so they all shout about unlimited rhyme. I thought that the poem was too long and difficult to do, so I simply set a five-character quatrain. As for whether it is a quatrain or not, no one cares.

So, Zhang Qing, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou family in Baoding, had to be coaxed to get up. She couldn't push it over, so she smiled: "My poem is the most ordinary, don't laugh at me if you don't do it well." Not...... Pregnant! ”

"On a cold spring day, the fragrant stamen blooms in the wind. Ask you what you mean, this flower ......"

Seeing that Zhang Qing was in trouble. Miss Meng Si snorted and laughed: "I said sister-in-law, according to your rhyme, I think there are three words at the back that match the best!" She stood up as she spoke, and said with a smile, "Spring is cold. The fragrant stamen blooms in the wind. Ask you what you mean, this flower is the most lovesick! ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall burst into laughter, but there was not much sarcasm. Although they all live in Jiangnan, except for Du Juan. Almost all of the women are not from those Jiangnan literati families who are proficient in literature and ink, and this poetry is just a fun time to relieve boredom on weekdays. With Zhang Qing's brick-throwing and jade, the rest of the women are also bold, and this poem doesn't matter whether it is good or not, it was quickly copied on the white paper on the side.

When she arrived at Miss Meng Si, she thought for a moment and said casually: "This is not a precious species, and it is only happy to welcome the cold." Glamorous three spring bushes, smiling in the hidden flower forest. ”

Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard it. The heart is similar to the sentence that when the mountains are full of flowers, she laughs in the bushes. He was originally the true character of Miss Meng Si's arrogance, but he didn't want this poem to have such a sense of seclusion and indisputability. When he was thinking, he heard Zhang Qing next to him whisper something in his ear.

"The fourth sister has always been in Beijing with my eldest uncle, and I don't know what happened before. But two days ago, my aunt came to talk to me, and there was something in my words, and my uncle once praised you to me. Let's not mention whether it is good or bad for the time being, the eldest aunt is not in good health. The other daughters are no more than ordinary. The fourth sister was still in charge of the house when she was in Beijing, and this housewife was full of qualifications. It stands to reason that the girl's real name shouldn't have been mentioned. However, her real name is a Min character, which is different from those Fang Zhi Lan style, and her father's mind can be seen from this word. ”

Zhang Yue nodded when he heard this, but remembered the words of Meng Xian in the first place and the design in the back. Seeing that Du Juan was always talking and laughing among the group of girls who didn't make poems, he couldn't help but secretly wonder. I think that Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong mentioned Du Zhen's poetry article at the beginning, but he has seen the article, but he has never had the opportunity to see the poem. Now Du Juan also refuses to make poems, does he know how to do it or is he clumsy?

Just as he was thinking about it, he unexpectedly received a heavy elbow blow, and when he looked up again, he found that it was his turn. He thought that other people's poems were just ordinary, so he wanted to recite a random poem to make up the numbers, but suddenly there was a burst of laughter.

"Brother Yue, you have received a lot of rewards from the eldest aunt in the palace before, and there is a sable fur in the middle that is very rare, it is said that it is a Tatar tribute, and this is the only one in the world. The little sister is really itchy about the mink, if you take it out as a bet, I will add this aunt to give the land of mutton fat jade card, you and I each make a poem, whoever does well will take the color head? ”

Seeing that the person who spoke was Zhang Hui's daughter, that is, his cousin Zhang Ke, Zhang Yue only felt a sigh in his heart. When he had just met this cousin for the first time, he didn't care, he didn't expect her to suddenly have a hard time at this time. After a moment of consternation, he smiled bitterly.

Now that everyone has come to the door, can he still be cowardly?
