Chapter 260 The First Female Poet in the Red Chamber
May 26th, evening.
Jia Yun, who had been busy all day, rode back to her mansion in Chang'an City from the Chang'an Xie Camp. Although Cao Wu and Tang Daqian no longer live in this mansion, Qingwen now lives in this mansion.
, Xiangling, so that Jia Yun will not be lonely in the house.
Under Feng's arrangement, delicious meals were prepared at the house. When Jia Yun came back, the meals were placed in the main room of the main courtyard. Jia Yun sat down at the table and said to Qingwen and Xiangling: "
You should also sit down and eat together."
Qingwen said "hmm" and sat down, and Xiangling also sat down.
All along, no matter how noble Jia Yun's status is, when he eats alone, he usually lets the maid who serves him sit down and eat together. This was the case with Xiren and Zijuan in the past, and it is the same with Qingwen and Xiangling now.
Like this.
Jia Yun's appetite is still as big as ever. Qingwen and Xiangling have long been accustomed to this. Now seeing Jia Yun eating a lot, the two maids are not surprised, but they are admiring it. For them, even if Jia Yun eats
It's a lot of food, and it's a pleasure to watch Jia Yun eat.
At the moment, Qingwen is not only admiring the way Jia Yun eats, she is also glad that she was brought to Chang'an City by Jia Yun this time. Although she has been Jia Yun's maid for a long time, she has always been under the supervision of Xi Ren, Zicuckoo.
, now she is fine, she can get along with Jia Yun freely in this mansion in Chang'an City, which makes her feel satisfied.
Jia Yun said to Qingwen: "Eat quickly, why do you keep staring at me?"
Qingwen felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun suddenly said: "In my king's room, someone needs to serve tea, sit up and call for help at night. You just came yesterday and were busy packing your luggage and things. I didn't say anything. Starting tonight, you and Xiang Ling will
, everyone takes turns sleeping on the outer bed in the king’s room at night.”
In fact, Jia Yun is not so pampered, no more so than Jia Baoyu. He made such an arrangement to give Qingwen and Xiangling a transition from a maid to a member of the house. This is how Xiren and Zijuan transitioned to become a member of the house.
Xiangling blushed immediately.
Qingwen felt happy, nervous, and depressed at the same time. What made her happy was that in the past, only Xi Ren and Zicuckoo had the qualification to serve at night, but she did not have it. What made her nervous was that she felt that Jia Yun would sneak up on her at night and even follow her.
She had a further relationship. What was depressing was that there was actually Xiangling!
After hesitating for a while, Qingwen decided not to refuse.
She knew that serving at night was also the duty of a maid. She had actually wanted to be Jia Yun's roommate for a long time. When she came to Chang'an City this time, she had even expected that she would probably be raped by Jia Yun in Chang'an City.
After all, Xiren and Zijuan are not here. How can a man like Jia Yun endure loneliness?
Qingwen said: "Only one person is enough for this kind of thing. If the prince wants me to serve, don't bring Xiangling with you. If you want Xiangling to serve, don't bring me with you!"
Jia Yun smiled playfully: "Then you will serve me."
Qingwen fell silent and felt satisfied in her heart.
…
…
When the Qing Dynasty was founded, four princes and eight princes were granted the title. Among the eight princes, Li Guogong Liu Biao ranked fourth, second only to Ning Guo Gong Jia Yan, Rong Guo Gong Jia Yuan, Zhen Guo Gong Gong Qing, and Liu Biao was awarded the second
Waiting for the public means that he has made great contributions in the first place.
Later, the troops under Liu Biao were stationed in Zhenjiang in the south of the Yangtze River and became the Zhenjiang Battalion. Their main task was to guard the prosperous Jiangnan. Liu Biao became the military governor of Zhenjiang.
Zhenjiang is located in an important position in the south of the Yangtze River. To the north is Yangzhou, which is close, to the west is Jinling, which is not too far away, and to the southeast is Suzhou, which is not too far away. Obviously, Zhenjiang is also a very prosperous place.
After the death of Liu Biao, his eldest son assumed the title of third-class duke and inherited the title of Zhenjiang Jiedushi. After the death of his eldest son, his eldest grandson Liu Fang also assumed the title of first-class marquis and inherited the title of Zhenjiang Jiedushi.
position.
However, after Emperor Tianzhi ascended the throne, he tried every means to get the three founding princes to hand over their positions as Jiedushi, including Liu Fang's Zhenjiang Jiedushi. Emperor Tianzhi mainly relied on the fact that the Liu family was extremely corrupt, so that the Supreme Emperor agreed to depose him.
Lost Liu Fang's Zhenjiang Jiedushi.
After Liu Fang was deposed as Zhenjiang Jiedushi, Mei Kui took over as Zhenjiang Jiedushi. Mei Kui was a close aide of the Supreme Emperor.
However, the Supreme Emperor and even the Emperor Tianzhi did not know that Mei Kui was a confidant of the Supreme Emperor on the surface, but secretly colluded with the Mu family of the Dongping Palace in an attempt to rebel!
The Mu family is not simple. They have colluded with the Yun family of Chang'an and Meikui of Zhenjiang!
In the blink of an eye, it's June. Last June, Emperor Tianzhi lived in the Summer Garden on the western outskirts of Shenjing City for a whole month. He spent the summer in the Summer Garden and listened to the government. However, this year he no longer had the intention to do so, not only because of the war against the Shui family, but also because of the
There may be other wars in the Qing Dynasty in the near future.
Sure enough, on the sixth day of June, Emperor Tianzhi suddenly received an urgent document from the south of the Yangtze River. The Mu family of the Dongping Palace led the Hangzhou camp to rebel, and Zhenjiang Jiedushi Mei Kui also led the Zhenjiang camp to rebel!
Emperor Tianzhi was furious and shocked. He expected that the Mu family of Dongping Palace might rebel, but he did not expect that Zhenjiang Jiedushi Mei Kui would follow him in the rebellion!
…
…
The sixth day of June.
Qingwen and Xiangling have been following Jia Yun to Chang'an for ten days.
It was night, and Jia Yun had been busy with official duties in the study for an hour. On a whim, she said to Qingwen and Xiangling: "I will take you to an interesting place."
Qingwen's eyes lit up: "Where?"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "You will know after you follow me."
Immediately, Jia Yun brought a pot of good wine, Qingwen, and Xiangling to the front building in front of the main courtyard and went up to the second floor. There was a wooden ladder on the second floor. Jia Yun moved the wooden ladder up.
, set up against the wall.
Qingwen was surprised: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Jia Yun said: "Let's go to the roof."
Qingwen asked: "Is the interesting place you mentioned just now the rooftop here?"
Jia Yun said: "What? Are you disappointed?"
Qingwen said: "Yes, I thought it was such an interesting place."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I hold the wooden ladder, you climb up."
Qingwen said: "If I don't go up, I'm afraid I will fall down and die."
Jia Yun smiled at Xiang Ling and said, "Xiang Ling, climb up."
The obedient Xiang Ling would not refuse. Immediately, Jia Yun supported the wooden ladder and asked Xiang Ling to climb up to the top of the building. In the process, she did not forget to remind her to pay attention to safety.
Jia Yun said to Qingwen: "You really don't want to go up? If you don't go up, just wait here alone."
Qingwen hurriedly said: "I...I'll go up too!"
She didn't want to wait down there alone, and even Xiang Ling had gone up, so she didn't want to be outdone by Xiang Ling in this matter.
Jia Yun smiled, held the wooden ladder and let Qingwen climb to the top of the building, and climbed up herself.
Under the night, Jia Yun, Qingwen, and Xiang Ling sat side by side on the roof of the building. There was a crescent moon in the night sky, and there were also stars. Although the moon was not round, there were not many stars visible to the naked eye, but under the night there were still
There is a large Chang'an city for viewing.
Previously, Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian sat side by side on the roof of the building to see Chang'an, but tonight Cao Wu and Tang Daqian were replaced by Qingwen and Xiangling.
"Wow, Chang'an City is so big!" Xiang Ling exclaimed happily. This was the first time she had sat on the roof of a building to watch the moon and the city. She found it novel and interesting.
Qingwen also felt that it was novel and interesting, and she was glad that she had followed her. However, when she heard Xiangling's sigh, she responded: "Although Chang'an City is not small, it is much smaller compared to Shenjing City, and Shenjing City is also
It’s much more prosperous.”
Jia Yun picked up the specially brought jug of good wine and drank it. Seeing this, Qingwen said: "I want to drink it too."
Jia Yun handed the jug to Qingwen, who took a sip. Jia Yun asked Qingwen to pass the jug to Xiangling. Xiangling also took a sip and said, "This situation is suitable for poetry.
"
Jia Yun smiled and asked: "Do you like poetry?"
Xiangling subconsciously said: "I like it, but I don't read many poems. My husband said that although poems are elegant things, it is useless for girls to read them too much. Instead, read "The Book of Filial Piety for Women", "Commandments for Women", and "The Women of Women".
It is proper to study more books like "The Biography"."
The gentleman here naturally refers to Lao Tongsheng.
Qingwen lightly "hummed" and felt depressed when she heard about Lao Tongsheng. Under Jia Yun's instruction, Lao Tongsheng was usually a bit harsh on her. She also didn't like books like "The Classic of Female Filial Piety".
But he was forced by the old boy to keep studying.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I think you can read more poems. Not only can you read more, but you can also learn to compose poems."
"Really?" Xiang Ling's eyes lit up, but then she said, "But sir, I'm not allowed to read more poems, let alone compose them."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Don't listen to sir on this point, listen to me."
Jia Yun has long planned to let Xiang Ling learn poetry and compose poetry, and now it is time.
Xiangling: "..."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "What? Is it possible that you only listen to my husband and not to my king?"
Xiang Ling paused and said, "Since it is the prince's order, I will just do it. But if you blame me, I will truthfully say it was the prince's order."
She was happy about this. She really liked poetry. Now that she had Jia Yun's order, she could "follow the order" to learn and compose poetry.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "You should work hard to learn and compose poetry by yourself. The King of Japan will find you a master after a while."
Xiangling's eyes lit up again: "Who does the prince want me to take as my teacher?"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I won't tell you, you will know when the time comes."
Who should Xiang Ling worship as her teacher? Haha, of course she would worship Lin Daiyu like in the original novel!
In the world of Red Mansions, there are many Jinchai who are talented in poetry. Among them, the first female poet of Red Mansions is Lin Daiyu.
", "Autumn Window Stormy Evening", "Three Quatrains on a Handkerchief", "Five Beauties", "Peach Blossom Row", etc. Most of Lin Daiyu's poems have become classics, and Lin Daiyu herself has the characteristics of a female poet.
temperament.
Lin Daiyu does look a bit like Li Qingzhao, she can be said to be the Red Mansion version of Li Qingzhao.
Although Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Miaoyu, Xue Baoqin, Tan Chun and others were not weak in poetry writing talent, they were all surpassed by Lin Daiyu in this aspect.
In fact, in the original work, Xiangling originally wanted Xue Baochai to teach her poetry, but Xue Baochai declined, and Xiangling then went to find Lin Daiyu.
Xue Baochai didn't teach Xiang Ling to write poetry, of course it wasn't because she didn't care about taking care of Xiang Ling.
It’s because, in Xue Baochai’s view, poetry writing is not a serious thing for women, and it is not even a matter for men. Men should study and understand reason to assist the country and govern the people, and women should take spinning and needlework as their physical and mental abilities.
To be a dear is to be a good wife.
What's more, Xiangling is Xue Pan's concubine. Xue Baochai thinks that she should not teach such an improper thing as teaching poetry to her brother's concubine. Aunt Xue will be dissatisfied if she finds out.
Xue Baochai is a rational person, while Lin Daiyu is an emotional person. Poetry is naturally a perceptual thing, so Lin Daiyu is naturally willing to teach Xiang Ling.
Although Xue Baochai did not personally teach Xiang Ling to write poetry, after Xiang Ling became a teacher of Lin Daiyu, she became obsessed with poetry. Xue Baochai did not interfere. She tolerated this matter and did not tell Aunt Xue about it.
It shows that she cares about Xiangling.
Jia Yun looked at Qingwen: "Do you like poetry? If you do, I will let you apprentice with Xiangling."
Qingwen said hurriedly: "No, I don't like poetry, and I don't have the talent to write poetry."
It is difficult enough for her to ask her to read and write. If she is asked to compose poetry, it will really kill her!
Xiangling became interested and said to Jia Yun: "My lord, you are good at reading and can also write music and lyrics. I guess you must be good at composing poems, right? How about you compose one now?"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I won't do it anymore, but right now I am thinking of a Song poem, Su Dongpo's "Shui Tiao Song Tou - When Will the Bright Moon Come?" Do you know?"
Xiang Ling said: "I don't know. Your Majesty, would you like to come and hear it?"
She doesn't even know much poetry, let alone lyrics.
Qingwen said: "Xiang Ling, you are so presumptuous that you dare to ask the prince to read words to you!"
Xiangling became embarrassed and apologized to Jia Yun: "Your Majesty, I was wrong."
Jia Yun smiled at Qingwen and said, "When you asked me to sing a song to you, how could you not know that you were being presumptuous? Now that Xiangling is asking me to read lyrics to her, do you know that you are being presumptuous?"
Qingwen: "..."
Jia Yun said to Xiang Ling: "I will just read it to you."
Xiang Ling smiled happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so kind."
Qingwen cursed "little hoof" in her heart!
Jia Yun picked up the jug and took a sip of wine, then looked at the night sky and read:
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with your wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky... People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away."
In China, the ancient poet who wrote the best about the moon is undoubtedly the poet Li Bai. "Drinking Alone under the Moon", "Moon Over the Mountain", "Quiet Night Thoughts" and so on are all classic works about the moon. However, in Jia Yun's view
Come on, of all the poems about the moon, the best one is Su Shi’s water-melody song.
"This word is so well written!" When Jia Yun finished reading it, Xiang Ling couldn't help but admire it, and did not forget to add: "The prince is indeed a good reader. He has kept such a word in his heart."
Qingwen cursed "little hoof" in her heart again. Is this a good word? She couldn't quite hear it, but she had already discovered that Xiangling had only been a maid by Jia Yun's side for more than ten days, and she was already there.
He is no longer very restrained in front of Jia Yun, and he can even flatter and please Jia Yun.
After the snow, moon, wind and flowers passed, Jia Yun thought deeply about the iron horse and the autumn wind.
He has captured Chang'an Camp for more than a month, and Emperor Tianzhi has not yet ordered Chang'an Camp to conquer the Shui family. And according to his previous expectations, once he captures Chang'an Camp from the Yun family, Emperor Tianzhi will soon
Maybe the Chang'an camp was sent to conquer the Shui family.
Jia Yun believes that the reason why Emperor Tianzhi has not done this yet is not because he is about to get married on the eighth day of August, but because of other reasons.
In fact, there are three reasons. First, the Chang'an camp needs to continue to be reorganized; second, there are already many officers and soldiers sent to conquer the Shui family, including the outer firearms camp; third, Emperor Tianzhi is preventing the king of Dongping County from Nan'an.
The prince of the county and the prince of Xining rebelled and left Chang'an camp in order to attack these three families at any time.
"My lord, what are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?" Qingwen couldn't help but ask when she saw that Jia Yun had been deep in thought for a long time without saying anything.
Jia Yun didn't answer, stood up and said: "Let's go down."
At this moment, a palace guard downstairs called loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Cao Wei Cao is asking to see you, saying that there is an urgent imperial edict!"
Cao Wei suddenly went to Chang'an City to deliver an urgent imperial edict?
Jia Yun immediately realized that Chang'an Camp was about to go on an expedition...
