now.
Teahouse elegant room.
"Junior Sister Fang, although I didn't win the first prize in this palace examination, I still ranked second and second. I can't blame you. After all, you met Yang Zining, the seventh saint of the Zhenguo Holy Academy!"
A young man wearing a Confucian shirt from Qingshan Academy poured a cup of tea for Fang Qingxue and was trying to enlighten her. He chuckled and said, "Besides, Tang Hu, the little painting saint of Qingshan Academy, didn't lose to you, my junior sister. I got a third prize... I don’t know how the master will reprimand me when I go back to the academy!"
"Senior Brother Tang is interested, I'm fine!"
Fang Qingxue looked coldly and looked at the scene outside the teahouse, wondering what she was thinking.
Sudden.
She looked at Tang Hu and frowned: "What kind of celebration is being held outside? Why is it so lively?"
"A little poetry club created by seventh grade scholars as a joke. It is said that some geniuses who did well in the Beijing and Rural Examinations last year are not too young anymore. They want to attract talented girls of the right age to come over through the poetry party and make friends with poetry!"
Tang Hu quickly explained that it was rare for Fang Qingxue to speak. He did not forget to seize the opportunity and said: "Junior Sister Fang, do you want to go and see it together? There are many scholars who are newly recruited bachelors of our Qingshan Academy. Take a look at them. His poetic talent is also good!"
"No need!"
Fang Qingxue calmly shook her head.
Speaking of poetic talent, she thought of the poem Zhong Zizheng of Zhenguoshengyuan gave her, and couldn't help but wonder... was that "Guan Ju" really written by Lin Yi for her?
"Haha, I'm actually not interested either. Isn't it just a poetry party to hook up with women? It's vulgar!"
"By the way, when does Junior Sister Fang plan to report to the Zhenguo Holy Courtyard? Let's get together then!"
Tang Hu and Fang Qingxue belonged to the same group of palace examiners. When he first met Fang Qingxue, he was astonished.
This time, with the help of his status as a disciple of Qingshan Academy in the capital, he successfully invited Fang Qingxue out for tea.
Fang Qingxue frowned and said, "Didn't you say you would take me to visit your Qingshan Academy?"
Tang Hu quickly slapped his forehead and said angrily: "Yes, yes, yes, look at your memory, senior brother, we will go there later!"
…
"The talented Zhang Jiuer, who ranked third in the economics department in the Huatianfu Provincial Examination last year, is here!"
at this time.
In the teahouse, a burst of noise suddenly broke out. After Fang Qingxue heard these words, she whispered in her heart: "Zhang Jiu'er..."
She is thoughtful!
Outside the private room.
Zhang Jiuer waved his hand and smiled politely: "You can just compare notes. How do I understand poetry? I just came here to join in the fun..."
Zhang Jiuer found a seat in the teahouse and sat down.
Her arrival immediately aroused the desire of many talents in the teahouse to compete.
Everyone wants to show off in front of beautiful women.
but.
It also aroused the dissatisfaction of many female bachelors, who all looked at Zhang Jiu'er with unkind eyes.
"Miss Jiu'er, you came just in time. I just composed a poem about encouraging students to study, and sent it to the bachelors who are preparing to take the provincial examination. Can you comment on it?"
A young man wearing a Confucian shirt quickly came over and unfolded the poem in front of Zhang Jiuer.
The poetry volume is full of talent and seems to be quite heavy. It is obvious that this poem is not bad.
But his so-called comments were just to show off in front of Zhang Jiuer!
"I advise you to study literature and martial arts from now on..."
Zhang Jiuer took a look and said with some surprise: "It's an acrostic poem!"
"Exactly!"
The young man in the Confucian shirt held his head high and looked a little proud. He smiled and said, "Miss Jiu'er, how many do you think your talent is high..."
He placed the poem scroll on the desk that had been prepared long ago and motioned to Zhang Jiuer to go over and weigh it.
"good!"
Zhang Jiu'er is lively by nature. After walking over, he picked up the poem with both hands and said in surprise: "His talent is three times higher. This senior brother is so talented!"
"Haha, Miss Jiuer, just call me Qin Shan. I am a bachelor of Qingshan Academy. I heard that you have been admitted to Qingshan Academy. If you have any questions about practice in the future, you can ask me!"
The young man in Confucian shirt was particularly excited and felt extremely satisfied.
Many scholars felt a little unhappy.
"Miss Jiuer, look at mine, mine is not bad either!"
"And mine is no worse than Qin Shan!"
"Miss Jiuer, how about reading this article of mine?"
"..."
The others were not to be outdone. After seeing that Miss Jiu'er was a very kind-hearted and talented girl as rumored, they all quickly used their special skills, hoping to win Zhang Jiu'er's heart.
As long as they show their talents, they will be extremely lethal to women.
In the teahouse.
Those talented women who were quite popular at first found that the talented men who had been courting them just now were all surrounding Zhang Jiuer, and their faces turned red!
I was so angry that my makeup was almost gone.
Zhang Jiuer smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers, you can't always let Jiuer read it alone, but also show it to other sisters. I really don't know much about poetry. I'm just waiting for someone here. I stopped by to watch the excitement. That’s all…”
"Waiting for someone?"
"Waiting for someone here?"
"Who are you waiting for? A man or a woman?"
The talented people in the capital suddenly became quiet when they heard that Zhang Jiuer was not here to participate in a poetry meeting, but to wait for someone.
In an instant.
The originally noisy teahouse suddenly became silent.
"Well!"
Zhang Jiuer was stunned for a moment, looking at the people who suddenly became quiet in confusion, and said: "Can't you wait at the poetry meeting? Sorry, let me go out first..."
She was just having family time with Lin Yila last night when she heard Gou Zhongxing say outside the door that there was a poetry meeting at the teahouse outside the Yamen today.
I happened to take Lin Yi to the Yamen today, so I came over to join in the fun.
I didn’t expect that I couldn’t wait for anyone in the poetry gathering.
…
In the elegant room.
Tang Hu looked at Fang Qingxue with a smile and said: "This chapter is quite interesting for Jiu'er. She doesn't seem to know the purpose of this poetry meeting. It was originally a poetry meeting for marriage, but she said she was waiting for someone... If it is a woman... Fortunately, if it’s a man, I’m afraid that if that person comes, he will be attacked by a group of people!”
"Junior sister Fang, don't you really want to go out and have a look? After a little look, we will go to Qingshan Academy!"
Tang Hu seemed to want to take Fang Qingxue out for a walk.
"Let's see!"
Fang Qingxue nodded calmly.
Tang Hu was ecstatic, and quickly stood up, stood at the door of the private room, and said politely: "Junior Sister Fang, please!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tang!"
Tang Hu and Fang Qingxue had just walked out of the private room when a bachelor from Qingshan Academy shouted: "It's senior brother Tang Hu from our academy, the top pick in this year's palace examination!"
"Senior Brother Tang Hu is known as one of the eight most talented men in the capital, a very talented person!"
"Wow! Who is next to Senior Brother Tang Hu? Isn't that Fang Qingxue, the second-place finisher in this year's palace examination?"
"Have you noticed that Senior Brother Tang Hu and Tianjiao Fang Qingxue stand together? They are really talented and beautiful..."
"Yep!"
In the poetry meeting, several bachelors from Qingshan Academy enthusiastically praised it.
"Junior brothers, please continue. Fang Qingxue and I were drinking tea in the private room. When I saw that you were making a lot of noise, I came out to take a look... Leave us alone!"
Tang Hu chuckled and waved his hand. He was gentle and elegant, and his whole body was filled with an elegant temperament.
The clouds are light and the wind is light, as calm as water.
"Fang Qingxue?"
Zhang Jiuer's eyes lit up, he looked at Fang Qingxue, and said in surprise: "Fang Tianjiao is so beautiful...".
She paid attention to this Beijing Palace Examination, and she admired Fang Qingxue who won the second place in the Palace Examination.
She didn't expect that Fang Qingxue was not only talented but also very beautiful.
"Senior Brother Tang, can we set off?" Fang Qingxue frowned slightly.
She couldn't see that this was Tang Hu's little trick.
But those who are clean will be cleansed themselves, and she does not need to explain anything to anyone!
"That's okay!"
Tang Hu smiled slightly and was about to take Fang Qingxue out of the teahouse.
Anyway, his goal has been achieved. If nothing happens, news of his private meeting with Fang Qingxue in the teahouse will definitely spread in the city and the Holy Court in the future.
Being ranked second in the rankings is definitely a story in Beijing!
"Scholar Fang?"
However, just when Fang Qingxue and Tang Hu were about to leave, they happened to meet Lin Yi who had completed the household registration and came in to pick up Zhang Jiuer.
Lin Yi looked at Fang Qingxue in surprise and said, "Why are you here?"
"Why did you come to the capital?"
Fang Qingxue also looked at Lin Yi in surprise, her heart trembling slightly.
"Lin Yi, do you know Fang Tianjiao?" Zhang Jiuer walked over quickly and blinked with his big eyes.
"???"
Tang Hu raised his eyebrows and stared at Lin Yi with a scrutinizing gaze.
And some of the bachelors who participated in the poetry meeting also had their eyes widened.
what's the situation?
Who is this guy?
Zhang Jiuer called this boy by his name. Could it be that he was the one Zhang Jiuer was waiting for?
And this kid...actually looks like he's very familiar with Fang Qingxue, the second-place finisher!
——
Let's look for foreshadowing together?
