Three days have passed since the day Tian Xiang disappeared. Su Lin has recovered from the spanking and he feels like he is okay again.
Moreover, no new news had been sent back from Diwu in the past few days, and the case could not be investigated for the time being, which made him feel alive. On this day, it was his turn to be on night duty, and his restless heart brought him to Yiyi.
After a stormy night, Su Lin climbed out of Yiyi's bed refreshed the next day. But this time he was more thoughtful and asked Xing'er to get him a bucket of water to take a bath, and then sprinkled some on his clothes. water. After he could no longer smell any fragrance on his body, he called Ma San to go home.
Young Master Su was also scared. After all, his mother was too powerful and he did not dare to challenge Yue Lianxing's authority with his own ass.
When we got back to the house, the family had just finished breakfast. When Su Ling saw him, she hurriedly ran to him and said, "Brother, you are back. Today, the cousin of the eldest prince invited me to have dinner at Wangjing Tower. Come with me."
Su Lin now has a shadow on the word "Wangjinglou". When Su Ling said this, he subconsciously glanced at Yue Lianxing and found that there was nothing wrong with her expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and touched Su Ling's head. He said, "I just got off the night shift and I'm a little tired. You go ahead."
Su Lingyue said reluctantly, "No, brother, come with me. Your poem is posted in front of Wangjing Tower. Don't you want to see what names everyone gave your poem?"
Su Lin's head was bigger. This girl couldn't help but lift the pot. But then Yue Lianxing said, "Lin'er, just go with Ling'er. Don't worry if you follow me. Mom is not that kind." Unreasonable people.”
Mother had spoken, and Su Lin could only say yes. He went back to his room to change his clothes, and then asked Ma San to drive the carriage with Su Ling towards Wangjing Tower.
When we arrived at the entrance of Wangjing Tower, we saw many people gathered at the entrance, all looking at Su Lin's poems. Some are thinking deeply and some are discussing.
The boy at the door saw Su Lin getting out of the car and hurriedly came up to greet him, "Young master Su, you are here. Please come inside quickly. All our girls are thinking about you."
Su Ling, who was following Su Lin out of the car, glanced at him sideways when she heard this, making Su Lin break out in cold sweat. He said righteously, "Girl, I brought my sister to the appointment today. You don't want to You are slandering this young master here."
Su Ling gave him a look like "I believe you or I am a fool". He just pretended that he couldn't see it and asked Su Ling, "Do you know which room he is in?"
Su Ling thought for a while, "Tingfeng, the person who came to deliver the message yesterday told me."
Su Lin said to the boy, "Did you hear that? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?"
So, the boy took Su Lin and the two of them inside. When Su Lin came to the room, he saw that many people were already sitting there. One of the young men, who was in his early twenties and looked very heroic, saw Su Lin and the two of them, stood up and said with a hearty smile, "Su Lin, Ling'er, you are here, sit down quickly."
Su Ling called the young man "Cousin." It turned out that this young man was the eldest prince of the current Daqing Dynasty and the eldest son of the queen, King Yong Zhang Zongzhou.
At this time, a gentle-looking man next to him said with a gentle smile, "Ling'er, I just saw your eldest cousin and didn't even say hello to your third cousin?"
Su Ling turned around and said obediently, "How come third cousin? It's not too late."
This is the third prince of the Daqing Dynasty, Wen Wang Zhang Zongxing, who was also born to the queen, and is a biological brother of Zhang Zongzhou.
"There is still me." A girl's voice sounded. This is Zhang Zongzhou and Zhang Zongxing's biological sister. Princess Fengxia told Zhishan, "Linger misses her sister so much."
"Sister, I miss you too." Su Ling said happily.
The two brothers nodded to Su Lin. They were both cousins and did not have so many polite words.
Su Lin was watching the four people talking and laughing when an unharmonious voice came from beside him, "Hey, we have a great talent. Why is my good cousin Su Lin so silent? He didn't say a word."
Su Lin turned around and saw a very good-looking man with a fair face looking at him with a smile. However, Su Lin felt that his smile was superficial, which made people feel uncomfortable. Comfortable.
Before he answered, Zhang Zongzhou frowned and said, "Second brother, please speak carefully. Just now Ling'er said that Su Lin was on night duty last night, maybe he was too tired."
It turns out that this is the second prince Qi Wang Zhang Zongshu, born to the current imperial concubine Wang Fengyi. The current emperor has nine boys and two girls in total, and four are here today. The rest are young masters and ladies from the families of princes and ministers, and Hua Tianfeng is among them.
Zhang Zongshu stopped talking after hearing this, and still looked at Su Lin with the same smile, which made Su Lin very unhappy.
Zhang Zongxing answered, "Now that everyone is here, let's sit down and let's chat while eating."
This room was quite large, with three tables set up. Su Lin, Su Ling, the prince, Hua Tianfeng, and a girl Su Lin didn't know sat at one table, and the others sat down separately.
After everyone was seated, Zhang Zongzhou picked up his wine glass and stood up, "It's rare that everyone gathered together like this today. I have to thank Su Lin for this. If he hadn't made this ancient and famous sentence, we people wouldn't be here in Wangjing Tower today." Let’s drink together. Come on, let’s all drink together.”
After speaking, Zhang Zongzhou raised his head and drank the wine glass. Everyone in the room also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. However, Zhang Zongshu did not even move and sat firmly.
Seeing this, Zhang Zongzhou said unhappily, "What's wrong, second brother? Is the wine I prepared not to your liking or is it that the people in the room are not worthy of drinking with you? Why don't you drink?"
Zhang Zongshu smiled, "Of course the wine prepared by the eldest brother is to my liking, but I still have something unclear, so I can't drink it."
"Oh? What's going on?" Zhang Zongzhou was a little confused.
Zhang Zongshu stood up and said, "I just want to ask cousin Su Lin, since you have composed such a masterpiece of poetry, why don't you give it a name? Could it be that this poem was not written by you, so you can't take it out?"
Master, I want to face you! Su Lin shouted in his heart. Someone was about to speak but couldn't help it. It was Zhang Zongxing, "Second brother said this. We brothers can be regarded as well-read. I have never seen this poem in any book. I believe you, second brother, have not seen it either. How can you say that you are a cousin?" Is it plagiarized?”
"It's hard to guarantee that there are strange books that we haven't seen before. There are so many books in the world. It's not surprising that there are some unique books that we haven't seen before." Zhang Zongshu sneered.
Su Lin couldn't bear it anymore. From the moment he entered the room, he felt that the second prince was targeting him, and now he wanted to sit on his neck and shit. Although the poem is copied correctly, it was not copied in this world. This can only be regarded as transferring the excellent culture of one world to another. To use a classic saying, how can the things of scholars be called stealing?
Young Master Su's temper suddenly rose, and he sarcastically said, "In my second cousin's opinion, do I need to find all the unique books in the world and go through them to prove myself? But I must find all the books in the world." Even if my cousin is a prince, he still doesn’t have this ability.”
Zhang Zongshu didn't care about Su Lin's sarcasm, and still smiled and said, "I don't have the ability, so there's no need to bother. As long as you can write another poem now, cousin, I will recognize your talent."
Su Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Why do I want you to admit my talent? You say it as if I have no talent if you don't admit it. It's ridiculous!"
"You!" Zhang Zongshu couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't expect Su Lin to dare to talk to him like this, but he couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
At this time, Hua Tianfeng stood up and said, "Mr. Su, I believe His Highness the Second Prince has no other intentions. Everyone is here today. I think it is better to let a few princes come up with a topic and let everyone compose poems together. It will be a pleasure. You see How about it."
Su Lin had already seen that Zhang Zongshu was not targeting him. He wanted to destroy Zhang Zongzhou's prestige by belittling himself. After all, Zhang Zongzhou was the eldest prince and the queen's legitimate son, and he was the biggest competitor between him and the throne. Although the current emperor is in his prime, it has been a consensus among the world that emperors do not live long since ancient times. It is not easy to bear the fate of a country, so it is only a matter of time to establish a heir apparent.
Zhang Zongshu's current status is not comparable to that of Zhang Zongzhou, and Zhang Zongzhou's ability is not bad either. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, the position of prince will be his sooner or later. And Su Lin is the only son of the prince. Who in the world doesn't know the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Su. It was Prince Su who won this empire for His Majesty the Emperor. But Su Lin and Zhang Zongzhou are cousins, and their relationship is much closer than him. It is definitely impossible to win over him. The only way is to suppress Su Lin to see if Zhang Zongzhou will reveal his flaws, so as to suppress his eldest brother.
Su Lin understood his intention, and just when he was about to agree to Su Ling, he said from the side, "That's not fair. A good poem cannot be written just by saying it, let alone a unique line. My brother just composed one a few days ago, and now If you don’t have inspiration, why don’t you say that my brother plagiarized it?”
Su Lin was moved. He didn't expect this little girl to be so protective of him. The former Su Lin might have been able to pass the test. Although the former Su Lin was educated in poetry by his father, he could not compose poems, let alone compete with others. It’s good if you don’t make people look down upon you.
But now Su Lin is not afraid at all. When he was in school, he was the No. 3 student. He had memorized so many ancient poems in and out of class. It could be said that he was full of ink, even though they were all written by others.
Su Ling wanted to continue talking, so he pulled Su Ling and said, "Since the second cousin and Mr. Hua are so leisurely and elegant, then I have no choice but to be respectful and obey. Let's ask some cousins to come up with a question."
After hearing what Su Lin said, Zhang Zongzhou was a little worried, but he couldn't hide it, so he had to say, "In that case, I will come up with a topic and let everyone write poems together to cheer up the fun."
He thought for a moment, "Although our territory in Daqing is peaceful and peaceful, there are still incursions by barbarians and barbarians from time to time on the border, which makes the people on the border miserable. Let's write a poem with the theme of fighting against foreign enemies on the border. The time is A stick of incense.”
After saying that, he asked the maid waiting in the room to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones, lit a stick of incense, drank slowly and waited for everyone's poems.
