Chapter nine hundred and twentieth no money in vain
Mrs. Yin felt aggrieved. How could she have imagined that the officials and wives in Yaozhou were so shameless?
She could only comfort herself that her daughter Yuewei was very popular with the two princesses, and she had plenty of opportunities to talk to the princesses alone. For Yuewei's sake, the princess would definitely give them the Yin family face.
Su Yueling was used to hearing flattery, and had little interest in the compliments from these people. She was beautiful and had a kind heart. Aren't these facts? Since they were facts, why bother repeating them over and over again in front of her?
The important thing is that when they praise people, they are all clichés with no innovation at all, and their literary talents are so-so. Unlike Suijun from her family, they can always praise their level and style.
Su Yueling began to miss Yuan Suijun again. When she got back, she asked Suijun to write ten or twenty essays praising her!
These officials and their wives were all excellent at observing words and expressions. When Su Yueling showed a little bit of impatience, they stopped.
Su Yueling and her daughter Su Youning took their seats under the stars and the moon, and others also took their seats one after another.
Behind the row of screens, all the officials and disciples of Yaozhou looked like they were in despair. Even Mrs. Yin, who naturally disliked Su Yueling and her daughter, would unconsciously be photographed by their looks, let alone these men.
The unmarried young man who originally just wanted to come here to make a name for himself couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind. Princess Wei had already got her name, and no one dared to pay her attention. But Princess Qionghua was not married yet.
If such a peerless beauty can win her heart, the sense of accomplishment will be indescribable. Even idiots like Yin Dongxiao have such courage, why can't they? Maybe the princess is blind and falls in love with them?
Taking their expressions into account, Yin Dongxiao was a little angry. Princess Qionghua had just made her appearance, and she had added so many love rivals to him. Why couldn't she learn from other gentle women and show less publicity to attract bees and butterflies.
Moreover, she is beautiful, but her temperament does not seem to be as easy to manipulate as her mother. After she gets married, she still has to let the elders in the family teach her the three obediences and four virtues of a woman.
In his pretentiousness here, he had no idea that Su Yueling had prepared a great gift called ruining his reputation for him.
Su Yueling invited a lot of people this time, and thanks to the large garden in her house, she was able to accommodate so many people.
She raised her chin slightly, and the servants of the Princess Mansion quickly and carefully brought five pots of chrysanthemums.
Many people present are well-informed people, and they have seen even rare chrysanthemum treasures.
However, when Su Yueling brought these chrysanthemums up, everyone seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and they were stunned. Although green chrysanthemums were rare, they had not seen them before, but the green chrysanthemums Su Yueling brought out were different from what they had seen before.
The petals are different from those of jade. The petals are as clear and crystal clear as jade. The whole chrysanthemum seems to be carved out of the finest jade. It is flawless and dazzling. What is even more amazing is that
, there is not just one pot of chrysanthemums like this, but five pots.
Mrs. Jiang, who loves chrysanthemums very much, couldn't help but ask: "Who cultivated such chrysanthemums?"
Anyone who achieves the best in an industry will be respected as everyone. If possible, Mrs. Jiang would like to come and ask for advice.
Su Yueling blinked and said: "I don't deserve what you call me. I just poured some water randomly, but they are still conscious and will grow longer."
It's just that the water she poured contained spiritual spring liquid. The flowers watered by the spiritual spring liquid all grew exceptionally well, with their own fairy spirit.
She has too many points, so you can use them to create whatever you want. A flower that is pleasing to the eye like this is not bad for decoration.
Everyone present was silenced by Su Yueling's words.
Such a natural work of art was actually raised by her casually?
Su Yueling said: "If you like it, take a pot with you when you go back." She also checked and found that Mrs. Jiang is a real lover of flowers and has good conduct, so it would be okay to give her a pot. It would be Mrs. Yin instead.
She wouldn't give it to that kind of person.
Mrs. Jiang was almost flattered, "Is it really okay?"
Su Yueling said: "No matter how precious it is, it is just a flower. If you can give it to someone who truly cherishes flowers, it will not be considered as an insult to this world."
If it were something else, Mrs. Jiang would definitely refuse it, but chrysanthemums were her favorite. Such a thing could be said to be rare in her life. She couldn't resist the temptation at all, so she happily accepted the gift. She thought about growing some at home.
You can also give a few pots of treasures to the princess.
Seeing that Su Yueling gave away the expensive flower without any hesitation, others believed that she had cultivated the chrysanthemum herself. If she had paid a huge price to buy it, how could she be willing to part with it.
Some even thought that the princess seldom went out on weekdays, could it be because she wanted to grow flowers? Only by being so focused can we grow treasures that others cannot. Shoulder
Mrs. Yin watched Mrs. Jiang receive this gift, not to mention envious in her heart. Such a pot of flowers could be sold for tens of thousands of taels, right? It is not a matter of money, but mainly about appearance. Mrs. Jiang was the first to get it.
Princess gifts for people.
What about the Yin family? What gifts will the princess give to the Yin family?
Su Youning, who had been quiet all this time, spoke now. Her voice was like a pearl falling from a plate, and it also carried the chilly feeling of the breeze in the forest. "Mom, why don't you let all the talented men and women write poems about this green chrysanthemum? I don't think their talents can learn from it."
As for letting down this emerald chrysanthemum."
Yin Dongxiao was delighted. One of the poems he had memorized was about chrysanthemums, which could come in handy.
Su Yueling nodded slightly and said, "Since you want to write poetry, you must have some success."
"Bring me Fang Yumo."
Yu ink was made by the famous ink maker Yu Zhe. Because the craft has been lost, there are fewer and fewer Yu ink on the market. A piece of Yu ink can be sold for at least three thousand taels, and some are priceless in the market.
The remnants of the previous dynasty had collected a lot of these things, and those Yu Mo fell into Su Yueling's hands. It could be said that no one in Daxia had more Yu Mo than she did, so she didn't feel bad at all when she took out a piece to make a lottery head.
Su Youning took out a piece of warm jade, which was also valuable.
Su Yueling thought for a while and added another set of glasses, which made up three lucky numbers.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones were distributed, and the girls present were eager to try. They could see that both Su Yueling and Su Youning liked talented and learned people. If they could win their favor, it would be good for their futures, and the elders in the family would also value them more.
they.
Su Yueling smiled and invited nine ladies to comment with her, including Mrs. Yin.
She also specially asked the maids in the palace to write their poems and put their names on them, so that the ladies would not be able to identify the poets from the handwriting, which was more fair. Of course, Su Yueling specially placed the original manuscripts in the box.
After all, these are all evidence!
She gave them time to burn the incense, and many of them wrote it before the incense was lit. It seemed that they were confident.
After burning incense, the maids wrote everyone's poems, excerpted their names, pasted them, and sent them to Su Yueling and others.
Su Yueling and the other judges each have a flower in their hands. After reading them all, they can put the flower on the paper they think is the best.
When she opened the first paper and saw it, Su Yueling immediately became happy.
Isn't this the song "Sighing the Chrysanthemum" written by Shang Zhiluo?
Su Yueling looked at it, with a faint smile on her lips, "This poem is well written. It is different from the previous poems about chrysanthemums. The first two sentences seem to use people to describe flowers, and later they use flowers to express their ambitions."
Mrs. Yin read it and felt happy. She had read those poems before. Wasn't this written by Dong Xiao?
The poems bought with the money really caught the eye of Princess Wei! The one thousand taels of silver were not wasted, which shows that the man's talent was really learned. Since the other party cannot take the imperial examination, it is okay for the Yin family to support him in the future.
From Su Yueling's comments, they guessed that she was praising her "writing". Several of the officials' sons couldn't help but smile with pride, especially Yin Dongxiao, who subconsciously looked at Su Youning.
